Now one of the first streams I did when I was in LA house was you. You pulled up on me.
A
I remember.
B
Yeah, you remember that?
A
Yeah, that's when you were just like popping off. Starting to go crazy, right?
B
Yeah, bro. Yeah. Yeah.
A
That's when you were popping off. Living with banks in the cloud house.
B
Yeah, the cloudhouse.
A
I love that was like the second cloud.
B
Yeah, it was the part two. Exactly. You know it's crazy because I was like before even I think, I think after the stream we just went outside. We were just shotgunning just for the of it and it was just so cool how you pulled up on me because I know you were part of the first one. The first one which was on Weed Lake, right?
A
Yeah, we Lake it's crazy how much Banks has done for people, right?
B
Dude, Banks, like, I wouldn't be, I.
A
Always say this all the time, but we wouldn't be anywhere without Banks for sure.
B
Same with me.
A
His endorsement, like putting us on in la, the amount of people he connected us with. Yeah, and he did it all for free too, right? Never tried to take a piece of us, nothing.
B
Right? Right. Yeah. Cuz when I was, when, when I was, when I moved to LA and this, when Faze was obviously going through what they were going through, there were so many times where I could have joined Faze and I asked Banks about, he's like, yo, like Aiden, like, don't do it, don't do it, don't do it. He looked out for me, he put me, you know, his genuine don't join Faze, don't join phase. Because that's when Faze was doing some really bad shady stuff and he didn't have control of it. Now they're killing it, which is great. He took it back over and we could talk about that in a bit. But like my thing was it was like Banks has always been the genuine guy where it's like, yo, I got you, you're my boy, you're my brother. And you know, like later down the line, I'm able to now help him out with certain things and, and bless him on certain stuff, you know, and that's, that's great. It's just great being able to reciprocate that.
A
I think he just likes seeing people win because he has an eye for, he has a crazy eye for talent too. So I think when he sees someone he's like, yo, that person could be big.
B
Yeah.
A
He kind of likes like proving himself right in a way where he's like, I want to see that person win, dude.
B
He's always early when it comes to Banks, bro. He's just one of those guys that have that sense to know who's, who's going to make it, you know, he always has that little tell. And you're right. I feel like he beats himself over like, oh, I want to prove to everyone that I'm always right about this.
A
So he's always on it business wise with Kick. Where are you at? Like, did you get. Are you allowed to say what your deal was? Like your equity? Like, are you still an equity partner?
B
Still an equity partner. And I'm actually doing more equity stuff with them when it comes to like my, my new events I'm creating with them this year. So we're going to do a streamer awards this year there's a streamer Awards on Twitch. I'm not really sure why. Nobody's done anything to kind of compete against it. So we're going to do our own streamer awards. Um, I'm obviously doing the, the boxing now, the brand Risk Boxing, which is big. And I got a few more events coming too that I've kind of talked about. But events are, are going to be really, really great for streaming because it's just a well produced event that you can kind of keep spamming in a way and you can change it up and, and add more people and people will just be all for it. I think that's like the future of live streaming. Just making crazy well produced events.
A
That stuff that you want to do more is more like high production.
B
Exactly. And that's like where the equity is too. It's like if I could, a business, if I could start an event up with like, for example, Eddie, him and I are going to like a 50, 50 type of thing where we're kind of both like putting our all into it. We have certain different types of things that him and I are both putting into it. But it's like, who knows, man? One day maybe something, somebody big will pay for, you know, whatever we're putting out. And that's kind of the goal on that. But we're just doing it for the fun of it right now, you know, the love and the fun of it. Because money doesn't really mean anything to that guy. He just loves like, he's very passionate, he's driven. He just loves like the competition.
A

What was it like doing the stream with Drake on kick?
B
Dude, it was so cool. Drake is such a. A good person. I know you have your own relationship with him, you. You and your guys, but, man, it's. It's crazy. You. You meet all these famous people, Kyle, and it's like, that guy is like the most normal, most famous person you're ever going to meet. Yeah, he's a genuine dude.
A
He's a great guy.
B
He's from your city. It's just. It's. It's so. It's so cool how much of a good person he is. And that's like where it's like, oh, I love this guy's music my entire life, but it's like, damn, now I have an actual friendship with this guy, and he's a normal dude. It's like, whoa.
A
And he with you like crazy.
B
Yeah, bro. Him and I, you know, we speak almost every day. You know, it's like he's. He's just a really, really good dude, and he cares about a lot about his people, and he takes. He takes pride in what he does, and you, you know, you got to respect that. And I just got a lot of love for that guy.
A
Was that like a dream stream for you?
B
Yeah, that was definitely up there. For sure. Definitely. And I was also gonna. One of my dreams. She was Kanye and It was gonna happen for the fourth time. You know, I've tried four times with Kanye about to happen. And he blocked me recently, which really sucked because I really wanted that Kanye stream to happen. Or should I say yay, stream, But I really did want it to happen, but he blocked me, so.
A
Damn. Do you think it'll ever happen?
B
No.
A
Why not?
B
It could have happened four times. Usually they say third time's a charm. The first time was in 2022. He wanted to do a stream with me and Andrew Tate. The second one was in 2023. He wanted to do a stream with me, him and Cardi, after the Cardi thing happened. Maybe this is the third or the fourth. I. I forgot. I think I'm forgetting one more. Um, and then obviously this time around, he's tweeting all this crazy shit. So that's why I took. You know, I was like, oh, my God. Like, this is perfect time. Let me. Let me try to get yay on stream. It just sucks because I really got.
A
A lot of backlash for that, right? A little bit. Or not, yeah.
B
But I didn't care.
A
It's like he is going fucking crazy.
B
Oh, yeah.
A
What do you think?
B
The.
A
What the fuck do you think's going on with him? Do you think he just says shit for attention or. No, I thought.
B
I thought that at first, but it's Kanye West. He doesn't need attention. He doesn't need money. I think. I think he's genuinely going through it and I think he needs to get help. And. And I think, you know, he needs to figure something out because it's sad, bro. It's really.
A
Cuz that's the thing. He'll say like nine good things and then he just says one up thing that just ruins his entire credit credibility, which is annoying. It sucks, and it makes him hard to defend. Right.
B
You can't defend him when he's tweeting out things about, like, Diddy and that Virgil and he's dropping, you know, swastika merch. I mean, there's. What could you. You know. But again, that's what streaming is all about. The, like, look at. Look at Tucker Carlson. He went to. He flew to Russia to go do Putin.
A
Yeah.
B
So it's like. And I know in a heartbeat, like, you would do that too, so. But that's the thing. That's where it comes with people like us. It's like, bro, just because you have.
A
Someone on doesn't mean that you agree with everything they're doing.
B
Exactly. Yeah, exactly. I know. This is like going to sound crazy, but like somebody super, super controversial. Like, even if you like or hate him, like for example, like Jeffrey Dahmer, like, dude, if there was an opportunity.
A
To do that guy, you got saying, got to, right? Yeah.
B
So it's like even the Luigi guy, I guarantee you would want to do a podcast.
A
I mean, we had O.J. simpson.
B
That is crazy. You did? Yeah, and he definitely did. You think he did it, right?
A
Yeah, he definitely did it. That guy's a good, He's a charming guy, though. Rest, rest in peace, O.J. rIP yeah, he's a charming guy, but he definitely did it.
B
Oh yeah, but Kyle, that's what makes you separate. And I kind of put myself in that group too. And I've constant like, yo, I, I look up to you. Like even back in the day, I always told you and, and Steve and Jesse, like always, because you guys don't give a, you don't care. That's the brand. You don't give a. You're going to be you, you're going to do you and that's it.
A
And, and because then when we up too, like even if you up or we up, people don't really give a fuck. Right? If you have that clean ass image your whole life, you're constantly protecting that.
B
Oh, it's.
A
And then when you fuck up, people, oh, the worst for us, it's kind of like we're just known as scumbags a little bit. Right?
B
It's like we get away with it.
A
We get away with everything.
B
Exactly.
A
Yeah.
B
But that's the thing that the Pitch Perfect people that try to cancel people, hey, it's at one point it's going to come around and get them and then it's like, oh my God, what do I do? They'll stop streaming, they'll stop posting, they'll stop doing something because they don't know how to deal with it. They were used to being on the other side of the fence. Oh, this guy's this, this guy's that. But then when it happens to them, it's like, oh, you know, so that's what I think is kind of funny. You're right though. It's like we give that off already. Like, hey, like, look, we're, we're human beings, we say crazy stuff, we do crazy things, but the end of the day, we're human beings, we're relatable because we're not perfect, you know, So I know.
A
Even Kanye, I saw now, like him and Drake had beef and now he's like saying, Drake's music's fire.
B
Yeah.
A
Like, it's just like. What would you think of the new album?
B
I think it's good.
A
I think it's fine.
B
I really do. I think it's one of these albums you have to keep listening to. Yeah. You find your new favorite song over and over again. I've been listening to it. I love the album. I think it was perfect. They did on that Valentine's Day, too. I know it's supposed to drop, like, months ago, but it was worth it. And I'm glad that Drake's getting the recognition he deserves. What I don't like, though, is I don't like when Spotify and Apple music, how they're doing Drake. They're. They're. They're trying to put, like. No.
A
What's good with that?
B
They're trying to put Kendrick's music in his playlist stuff and seen that unchart him on certain things. It's just. They're all put. They're pushing this. Like, I look. Kendrick Lamar, his Back in the Day. He has hits.
A
He has some tracks.
B
Yes.
A
But, like, so does, like, Meek Mill or Big Sean. Like, Kendrick has some tracks. Like, I don't know if I could name. Like, I could name 10, but I don't know if I could name 20.
B
Can you name five songs off his new album?
A
No.
B
Exactly. That's my point, though. My point is his last album, like.
A
Yeah, he has tracks, but it's like Drake has so many tracks, you fucking forget them all. Like, some of the singles, too, are like.
B
Just went to his concert, right?
A
Yeah, I went to his concert. I was in Australia.
B
When you're there, you're like, wait, he.
A
Has so many tracks.
B
So many.
A
And some of them aren't even on albums. They're just like. Like, trophies or, like, random like that.
B
Yeah.
A
So many tracks, you can't even remember them.
B
And he can't perform all of them. He has to constantly switch it up. But that's what it comes down to. It's like, look, you're. They're trying their hardest to squeeze all kinds. And then, like, the hidden message thing of the super bowl, it's like, dude, okay. Come on, bro. Like, yeah, you know what I mean? It's like, there's just so much. They're. They were all waiting for this moment to kind of.
A
But that was kind of a big, big W for Drake, I think. The super bowl performance, right?
B
Oh, for sure.
A
Because, like, if you compare past super bowl people, you have, like, Beyonce.
B
Yeah.
A
Bruno Mars. Yeah, it's like Kendrick. It's like.
B
And he made it all about Drake.
A
Yeah.
B
He could have performed Don't Kill My Vibe, you know, all his classics, like adhd, the ADHD stuff. Like, it's just. He didn't do it. He. He obviously wanted to make it about him and whatever. In my opinion, it's. It is what it is. And in my opinion, like, I think Drake won that beef because the rap. The rap battle. Because it's like, obviously Kendrick made the hit song the Not Like Us, but it's all lies. He said he had a daughter, which was debunked, and then the people forgot about that. Right.
A
The daughter thing was crazy.
B
Come on, bro. It wasn't real.
A
No.
B
Like. But people don't bring that up.
A
It's crazy. That's what scares me, too, is because, like, I guess when you get to that level and you're so big, like, people really do just want to see you fall.
B
That's how it is, bro. They all have, like, nothing. Kendrick had it out for him.
A
Nothing Kendrick said was ever proven. Nothing, obviously. Drake's not banging underage girls.
B
He can get any girl he wants.
A
Yeah. It's like. But that's what's. Isn't that kind of scare you, too, or. It's like, when you're that big, people really want to come for you.
B
Yeah. And it's sad because you can argue that Drake put Kendrick on. I'll Never forget, in 2011, I was 11 years old, I was going to this. It's called. It was. Would you like a tour? I believe it was when he first dropped Take Care. He took Kendrick, J. Cole, asap, Rocky, the Weeknd, all these guys on tour, gave them all a feature. French Montana, Meek Mill, all of them. And he put. You know, he helped put him on. And it's like, you're doing them like this. It's all out of. I'm telling you, it's because it was all built up. Obviously, we know this, and he's been number one for so long, they just try to knock him out. And that's really what it did. You can't knock him out, though. He's in Australia selling out crazy shows. You do it anywhere in the world, it doesn't matter. And this guy just dropped an album. It's amazing. And let's be real, no respect. Kendrick, but he. He. He has classics, he has hits. He is a legend, technically. But his last album before GNX, Mr. Morale. Horrible. Drake. Drake revived Kendrick's career 100%. Yeah. Come on.
A
I Mean, so if the Drake one was big, who's like, who's a fucking crazy stream that you want to get that's like out of this planet?
B
So I wanted Kanye. I really did. It was part of my list. But I guess, you know, I want to do a stream with probably Elon, man. Connie. Connie and Elon's like my top two, bro. To be real, dude. Like, that was. Whoa. Drake was. But bro, I mean, yeah, man.
A
Well, Elon will probably only do it if it's on X. I would love to do it. X should get in the streaming game more, right?
B
I don't know why they don't, you know. Have you been seeing Sneako's vlogs?
A
No. On X. Yeah.
B
It's been killing it, bro. Been doing really, really good content on X. Yeah. And he's only getting paid like 50 bucks a month, but he's really trying his ass off and he's doing really, really good content. But it sucks because, you know, hopefully I think Elon will try to find a way to make his ex creators eat more.
A
Yeah.
B
But once he does that, it could be game over for him. For real.
A
100%.
B
Because I think, I think X is a great platform and X is what saved the election. Y, you know. Yeah. Freedom of speech is huge, bro. And Elon's got an army behind him.
A
And it's crazy. Me and something you, me and you have in common is we both got shouted out in the so called presidential victory speech, bro.
B
Dude.
A
So what was your reaction to that?
B
I.
A
Look, I didn't, I didn't even stay up at night because it was like it was already over. So I went to bed and then, yeah, I wake up and I see everyone talking. Dana gets on there and like he says like he's on there for a minute and he shouts both of us out.
B
So cool.
A
Which is crazy. What was your reaction to that?
B
He shouted out you, me, Theo Vaughn.
A
And Joe Rogan and busting with the boys.
B
That's right.
A
Yeah.
B
But it's, it's, it's nuts if you think about it, Kyle. In a way, Even if it's 0.01%, you had something to do with this election. You influenced at least one person. At least. I'm just going to give you the, the lowest of the benefit. One person was influenced by you and one person was influenced by me.
A
Yours was fucking massive.
B
Yeah, I went crazy.
A
Yours was massive. Like that was all over mainstream media.
B
Yeah.
A
I remember when you announced it because I get genuinely excited when you like announce Like a big stream.
B
Yeah.
A
I always know it's going to be like fire.
B
Yeah.
A
You know what I mean? So how did the Trump thing happen for you? Walk us through that.
B
So Baron and I, we talk and, you know. So you what.
A
What do you communicate with Baron on?
B
I don't want to speak. I don't. I don't want to leak. I don't want to leak it, but, you know, Baron's a really, really cool guy.
A
Guy's a stud.
B
He's so cool.
A
That guy's gonna be a problem, bro. What is he, like, six, seven? Yeah, that guy's a tree, bro.
B
Dude, he. He. He's charming. He's well spoken. He's smart. Baron is, man. He's probably a problem, guys.
A
Probably hung like a horse, too. He probably got everything, bro.
B
He's. He's. He. He's great, man. And shout out to Baron. I. You know, I'll never forget. I went to.
A
Don't laugh, Gabe. You've been. Gabe won't shut up about Baron, bro.
B
You like Baron, Gabe? I'll put the good word in. But.
A
But he. So, what, he hit you?
B
Well, no, I met him at. You know, it was the first. It was actually the first time Barron's publicly went to one of his. He was doing one of his speeches. I think it was in Doral. I'm not sure where it was at. But Baron was there, and I got to talk to him for a little while. We met before. We met prior to that, but Baron was like. Because I was with Baron and President Trump, he was like, dad, this is who I've been talking about. And Trump looks at me, he's like, all right, I'll do it. I'll do it. And then it just. It's crazy. I got in touch with, like, one of the head people on his team. You probably know who it is. Like, you know, you know Alex and, you know, Justin, all those guys, and they were just like, cool, let's make it happen. And they made it happen. And I was at first like, this is not gonna happen. It can't be real. I got on phone calls with these guys. I kept following up. They're like, okay, Aiden, this is the date. It's locked in. It's like, wait, what? And it was locked in, bro. And I was like, wow, there were so many people I was trying to get a hold of. Do this.
A
Yeah.
B
And at first, they were trying to charge money. A million dollars. 2 million. Like, come on, man. Trump, Trump, Trump.
A
Really? People trying to charge you?
B
Yes, bro. They were trying to tax me and they're probably not legit. So because the probably a Cardi situation, they're like, oh, it's right, right. But I went through, went through Baron with right people and man, they were so nice. The Secret Service, the team Trump team, they're so nice. They're so, so good at what they do and they helped orchestrate everything. And man, I'm just so happy that happened. It was definitely my dream stream to do a stream with the president. And nobody's ever done anything live with the President, I don't think.
A
No, I don't think so.
B
So I was the first to break the ice and it was awesome.
A
That's cool. That's one thing I noticed about Trump too. He really trusts like certain people around him. It's cool how he trusts his son.
B
Yeah.
A
And he's like gassing him up. Like he knows his son's tapped in and he kind of just like, whatever his son says, he kind of just like genius listens to, right?
B
It's genius, dude. I mean, like, think Baron had something to do with this election? He was like pointing fingers. This, this, this Baron, Baron. Baron helped out. Elon helped out. You helped out. I helped out everyone.
A
Dana too.
B
Oh, dude. Dana, dude.
A
What people don't know too. And like, I did a couple interviews after and I would always tell people like, Dana's been plotting on this bro since like the last election loss.
B
I know.
A
Like, he's been like helping Trump get the youth, you know what I mean? Even you. I remember the first time you guys met too.
B
Yeah.
A
I was telling Dane, I was like, because he was looking for people for power slap too. And I was like, dude, you gotta meet Aiden for sure. Like, this guy's the real deal.
B
And like, appreciate that, Kyle. No 100% always been real.
A
No, no 100%. But Dana like, Dana fucks with you heavy too.
B
Yeah.
A
So he's just been like, he's been plotting on this. Dana is like, I love it. He was the guy that helped Trump with the youth, I think.
B
Oh, I agree. You know, because I know for sure he would pit him and be like Yoda. Because Dana put the good word in for me. So I know for sure. Probably, obviously for you too. It's like Dana's always had like my back, your back. So whenever, like the team's hitting Dana about it or Trump' to him about a direct, Dana's like, oh, yeah. Nah, he's good, he's good, he's good. Run that, run that. Dan is Very smart. Very, very, very smart and very good at what he does. Shout out to ufc. I saw you do that thing with the Poira. You nailed it. That one on one was crazy.
A
That was crazy.
B
Tapora's, man, he's. He's crazy.
A
He's a beast, bro.
B
I don't think anyone could really.
A
That guy's got it all, too. He's a good fighter.
B
Oh, dude.
A
His wife's a. No disrespect. She's a absolute rocket. Like, she's, She's a great. She's the best looking wife in the UFC by far. No disrespect to Daporia, but yeah. No, that guy's. That guy's the real deal, dude.
B
He's. He's. I don't think anyone. I mean, I know he wants to. We'll see. Matt, I don't want. I don't know. I don't want to speak on certain things, but I got to see somebody crazy fight him next. Who do you think. Who do you think is going to fight next?
A
Oh, see, the thing with the ufc, in my opinion is I think they don't want to. When they have two stars, like, you got Toporia and you got Islam, right? What business wise for the ufc, does it make sense for them to just kill one of those stars?
B
It doesn't make sense because, like, the.
A
Only way they do that is when it was like Volk versus Topuria, where Volk just cleaned out the division multiple times, where they're. They're in a corner where they're like, yeah, we have to make this fight. But right now I think Toporia has only had one title defense, Right. So it's like, if those two fight, one person's going to die. And it's like Toporia is such a big international star, like how big he is overseas and in Spain. I think they kind of want to just let them both.
B
Yeah.
A
Grow. And then if they both clean it out, then they give it to him to fight.
B
Well, it's another thing that's like Aspinall versus Jon Jones. It's like Jon at first was saying, like, John want Alex Prayer, but it doesn't make sense. No, Alex is kind of doing what you're saying. Exactly. He has to build up, build up. And Alex is fucking.
A
They want to have a star in every division, Right.
B
They need it. They need to have that. And. But if John fights Aspinall this year, which I think it might, it's going.
A
To go down, Right?
B
Who do you think wins?
A
I don't know, man. I think it's going to be close. I would say. I would say I got to go for Jon Jones.
B
I like Aspinall a lot, though. Yeah, he can.
A
That's a fight that we absolutely have to go to, dude.
B
I know. I mean, if it's going to happen, I would assume it happened at the Garden or something where. Because I know John fights at the Garden or in Vegas, but. But, man, I mean, that would be a crazy fight. If it happens, it'll be insane. But then it's like, if John wins that, then nobody could ever say anything.
A
He's done.
B
Yeah. His last fight, for sure. But, yeah, man, I mean, Aspinall can fight too, man. Yeah, he's crazy. And even. But even with, like, Islam, it's like, he's so good. He's in the. And everyone's like, all those Russians. And everyone's like, oh, you know, you gotta be afraid. But look at Merab. He beat Umar, bro. And it's like, now it's like, Merab, that guy has the craziest beast he could probably.
A
And I love. I love. I love Sugar. Sean, too, but Merab is a really nice guy.
B
Dude, I never met.
A
When I met him, he's like. He's a pretty funny guy.
B
Yeah.
A
Yeah, he's a funny guy.
B
Dude, that guy stamina. He could probably fuck for six hours straight.
A
100%.
B
No water. No, like, dude, what the fuck? Yeah, I've never seen that.
A
He'd be scary in the bedroom, right? Yeah, dude, that guy banging your ex, dude, that's not what you want to see here.
B
You would get tired.
A
Rob fucks your ex. Fuck, man. I don't know if I'd be upset. I'd probably just be like, all right, she wasn't the one, but.
B
But no, dude, he. Dude, he gets it down, bro. Like, that guy could, man. He can do 100 jumping jacks and still keep. You know, it's. It's nuts, but that's why it's like, damn, I want to see Sean O'Malley fight.
A
And he's gonna make a comeback. It seems like. It seems like he's dialed in. Yeah, I think he's completely off social media.
B
His team's running. I spoke to him. Yeah, yeah.
A
Sugar's the man.
B
Sugar's great, but the ufc, man, it's. I'm so, so awesome to see what they've done with everything. Do you think McGregor ever fights again or.
A
No, I think so. I mean, he has to, right? I think he has an expensive lifestyle, too, and like, obviously he has money, but when you're fucking ripping your boat and taking jets and doing all that money, money starts to get drained. Right, so he has two fights left with the ufc.
B
Oh, it's two.
A
Two fights left. And then after that, he has the freedom to do the big boxing events and all that. Yeah, yeah, the big stuff. So you saw what they were trying to make the Logan Conner fight, right?
B
Yep, I saw that.
A
But the UFC is not going to let that happen.
B
What I want to know is, because I didn't really understand that time, how did McGregor and Mayweather get to fight?
A
I guess the UFC.
B
Dana just said a part of it, right?
A
Because it made sense. That's Mayweather. He's the biggest. I mean, and that brought so many eyeballs to the ufc, Right?
B
Yeah.
A
So that was worth.
B
So smart. Yeah.
A
At this point, it's like, not really.
B
Not really worth it right now.
A
If he fights Logan Paul, is that going to make the UFC that much bigger? No, not really.
B
Really? No. Won't. But yeah. Dude, I mean, it's just. It's nuts to think about, like, how everything is all going, like the future of fighting, like Mike Tyson. Even Jake is crazy to think about. Damn, I wonder who Jake's gonna fight next.
A
I don't know. I guess he was supposed to fight Canelo, right?
B
Hello. That'd have been crazy.
A
Yeah. Jake's fucking killing it.
B
He is, yeah. He really is doing his thing.
A
Also, guys, really, really quick, we have brand new stuff on FullSend.com. we have new hoodies, new tees, new sweats. I love these hoodies. I rock them all the time. We got matched sweatsuits. They're my favorite things to just absolutely melt in. I wear them when I'm traveling all the time. We also have full send UFC stuff. It's super simple, super clean. You guys have been asking us for new stuff, so we restocked the entire website. So go to fullsend.com, grab some full send shit. Let's get into the pod. You and Dana gamble a lot, too.
B
Oh, dude. Yeah.
A
What. What was your biggest firing night with gain with Dana?
B
Okay, so the first.
A
You fucking. You're a fucking animal. Yeah, well, in that Red Rock suite.
B
Dude, the first time I met Dana White, I'll never forget this, I was down $800,000. All markers. They're on the table.
A
Yeah.
B
Dana sits with me. He's like, how you doing, kid? Dana, I'm sitting there with him, and when I tell you I didn't put any money in this Guy brings me from $800,000 in debt up to like 50k. And we were there battling for five hours.
A
So he put his own.
B
He said, yeah, yes.
A
He.
B
He basically gave me $850,000. He saved my debt. He loves the game. He's so passionate. He's such a great player. He's aggressive. You know what Dano tell you is like, yo, you win two big hands, get out, walk out, go, go do your thing. So. But for him, you know, I never met this guy before a day in my life, I'm coming. And I know Dana from, like, ufc. I'm like, oh, my God. You know, and he just bails me out like that. I'm like, oh, my God. Like, I don't even know what to say or think right now. I'm just shaking, like, of. Of adrenaline, everything. So we've had. That was the. The worst night I've had. But I've seen dana, man, down 5 million one night in baccarat, and. And I've seen him also up a lot in Baccarat, too, so. You know how gambling is. Ups and downs, ups and downs. But, man, I'm still forever grateful for Dana. He's helped me with so many things in my career with, you know, aligning people up with me and help me meet people and connecting me. And just the first time we met, man, just bailing me out like that. I mean, he's just. He's such a good guy, you know? Yeah, he's great.
A
I see you rocking the Free Tory shirt. Are you. You keeping in touch with him at all?
B
Tory called me during my boxing event last. I wanted to say something about him during the Trump stream, but it wasn't. It didn't really make sense from certain people that were overhearing what I was going to talk about on stream because he's a Canadian resident, but Free Tory, I know he didn't do what he. What everyone's accusing him doing. It's obvious if it is. I mean, show. Show the bullet hole. You know what I mean? Like, at that point, it's like, show the bullet hole. You know, he didn't shoot you in the foot, but he'll get freed. He's a Toronto legend.
A
Toronto legend.
B
Toronto legend. Yeah, he's a great human being. Cracked the best freestyle of all time. I stream. He checks up on me when I'm not doing well. Yeah, he's just a great dude, bro. And he's. He's shining in there. He's shining in there, and he's going to get out. And he's going to shock the world.
A
It's crazy shit, because. Yeah, I actually talked to him too, and I was going to tell you about this, but he was telling me that new evidence came out and, like, there's four people's DNA on the gun and his is not one of them, which is, like, something that came out after the trial that they didn't allow it to.
B
They're gonna redo the trial.
A
They should. Based on that. Because, like, if there's four people's DNA on the gun and his is not one of them, that's like, crazy.
B
It is crazy. And another thing that's crazy, too, is the girl said, oh, him. And I never did anything sexually. But now you're like, oh, yeah, we had sex a few times. Like, what? You're now going back. You just lied, so that should be a mistrial. You lied in trial, so let's do a mistrial and let's just redo it. So look, bro, we'll. We'll see what happens.
A
That's what's crazy when you, like. Because Tory's been kind of like. I guess he kind of went up against the system a little bit, Right? That's one thing that scares me, man. Like, if you go up against the wrong people in the system, it's bad. It's scary, it's bad.
B
It just sucks, though, because I know for a fact she didn't get hit in the foot, bro. Like, I know she didn't. So hopefully Tory is free to asap. Free Tory? Yeah, man. We got to get him.
A
We got to tell Donnie T. To look into it at the right time.
B
It'd be great. Yeah, the right time. I mean, again, I couldn't do it at the time because, no, of course it didn't make sense.
A
Yeah.
B
But now he's in office, maybe he can look into things and. Yeah, I just. I hope. I hope he. I hope he gets freedom because I know he's innocent.
A
Yeah, I want to talk to you about this GTA shit.
B
Oh, shit.
A
What's going to go on with that? And, like, what are your plans with that? I know. I've heard Banks talk about how it's going to completely change everything with, like, crypto and gaming. Tell me a little bit about that.
B
So I don't know how many of you guys watching are in this room, are in crypto right now, but today is really bad. It's been really bad the past few.
A
Days, but Solana and the Argentinian fucker, right?
B
Oh, dude, I can't believe him. What a piece of shit is a loser. It's just. I can't believe a president did that. I really can't. I really can't fathom it.
A
It's crazy.
B
I can't. Yeah, but what I was planning on doing is when GTA 6 does come out, I want to have an economy based system where it's all ran off of a crypto coin. And this crypto coin is not going to be a pump and dump. It's going to be backed by a legit asset which is my server. It's not going to be rugged or anything like that. I'll have full control of pretty much majority of supply and I'm going to make it a very good economic server. I'm going to make the server to where if you make money in game, Kyle, you cash out. I want people to be working and having an actual life on my server. You could flip houses and make money. You could sell drugs and make money. But guess what? If I come, if I come up to you in game and I kill you, you're losing everything.
A
Damn.
B
Yeah, we're gonna make it very strict where it's an economy based server. It's gonna be hard to get guns. It's gonna be hard.
A
So how does that work? Is the coin gonna be like in the actual game?
B
It's gonna basically be valued. So let's say you have a million dollars in my GTA 6 server. You could probably cash that out for X amount of the coin, which is X amount this volume. And I don't know what chain is going to be the best at that point. We might do it on Ethereum, chain, might do on Solanachain, Bitcoin community, whatever. But we'll see because we still have a couple years away, you know, from something crazy like that. I know GTA 6 supposed to come out this year. I think the PC version comes out in a year from the actual year, so. But we got some time. But crypto is just going to continue to get bigger. So all the time in the world is great.
A
Damn, that's crazy. Yeah, there's been so much I didn't. I haven't like dabbled too much in gta, honestly. I was more of a COD guy. But how big is that game going to be? Like, there's so much hype on it.
B
The game is going to be huge, bro. I wish I knew more about it, you know, I know that it's going to be a lot of crypto stuff involved. I know there's going to be people, a lot of people that are dropping certain things in the game, like, for example, like certain podcasts, exclusivity, podcasts, exclusivity, music with rappers and podcasters, etc. And I know it's going to be crypto. Ran a lot of it. I know crypto is going to be in the game for sure. It's just funny to Miami. Miami is known as the crypto city in America right now.
A
True.
B
So we're going to. We're going to see, man. We're going to see. And the cool thing is we have. I think this year we're going to know a lot. But what I will tell you is this. Right now, you could have like a max slot on a GTA 5.5M server of 200 to 400 people. I think GTA 6 is going to hit new accolades. Imagine there's, like, you're in the city of Miami and Instead of like 200 people, you can have like a thousand people. You know, maybe it's possible. I don't know. We got to wait to see. But one thing I do know is I know how to run a server very well. I ran my SSP world pretty well back a few years back, so it's going to be exciting to see what happens this time.
A
That's crazy. Yeah, yeah, I saw you might. Are you like young thugs? Lean plug now.
B
You saw that too? I was just trolling, bro. But you know, he was just tweeting about the lean. I was just trolling. I kicked a couple a long time ago. But, man, if thug wants, you know, some. Obviously you can't ever do it because he's on probation. But I'm glad he's free, though. At least he's freed. I'll pour him up some NyQuil.
A
Yeah. Little Michael.
B
Little Michael, yeah.
A
Was that like the lowest point you've been at Lean?
B
I would think so. I mean, in your life, when I was doing lean heavily. Yeah, bro, you just wake up every day at like 8pm you just sip lean all night and then you go to sleep and it's this repeat, you know, it's an opioid. You're just sleeping, sleeping, sleeping, sleeping. The one thing I will say about it is it catches up to you. You know, when I was withdrawing, it was really, really bad. Withdrawals. The worst. And it lasts for like one or two weeks of, like, sweating and fever and throwing up and all and poop.
A
So were you taking it just to sleep or, like, what do you think?
B
To get the high, to get the high. It's been a while since I was consistently doing it, which is great. I mean, bro, like, I'm a morning person now and it's like, I love waking up at nine in the morning, eight in the morning. It's great you get your skill so accomplished. Yeah, you hit the gym, you eat some food, you're just up for the whole day. You go to bed. I go to bed at like 12 or 1 o'clock. It's so nice, bro. You wake right up when you're on lean, bro, you have these like crackhead hours and stuff. Yeah, yeah. Drugs in general, but I think when you rely on anything, it completely brings you back, you know, you just backpedal yourself. I think just having nothing to rely on is the best. Just rely on your health and rely on, you know, your. Yourself and you don't need any substance or anything else to rely on you.
A
What made you, like, was there a moment when you switched from like that to like gym life and.
B
Yeah, so when I was doing. Let me try to put. Break this down for you. So when I was sipping a certain amount and not getting high anymore because my tolerance was so high, I was like, okay, I gotta stop. But I cold turkey stop. And you're not really supposed to cold turkey stop on hardcore. Like, even if you drink alcohol, let's say every day for two years, and you stop, you're gonna have issues. You got to do it the right way.
A
You gotta cut off, like 30 days is probably like the hardest.
B
Yeah, bro. I mean, they say get IVs, you got to take medication, certain things to just help yourself get off it. And yeah, you know, I tapped in with the right people and I got off that. Luckily, you know, it was great. There's people that are still on it and I've asked them like, yo, can you get off? They're like, no, I can't. I'll die. It's true. And luckily, like. And again, Lena's still so bad for you. But luckily it wasn't like anything more hardcore. Heard Xanax is crazy. Like, yeah, dude. And everything nowadays is laced with fentanyl. You gotta be really careful, bro. We have a really, really bad drug problem, so.
A
So what, the gym helped you kind of like, turn around? Yeah, that's something that helped me for sure. I think a lot of people that have, like, whether it's alcohol or whatever you're addicted to, like, yeah, you do got to replace it with something. And I try to tell people too, like, bro, the gym just fucking saves you Bro, like, yeah, if you wake up in the morning and you like hit a nice workout, get your fucking heart rate going, that in its own is like a drug. Like I'm like addicted to the high for my own mental health.
B
Yes.
A
If I don't work out for like, if I'm traveling or something and sometimes I don't work out for three days, I start to fucking like, I just feel like a slug.
B
How me ask you a question. I know you, you in the gym, do you. Do you also fast and stuff? Do you do any fasting?
A
I don't fast.
B
How's your diet though?
A
When I'm here, I'll just eat like eggs for breakfast.
B
Yeah.
A
And then just like rice and protein. Rice and protein, Got it. And two shakes a day.
B
Got it. So you're getting probably like 120 grams.
A
Probably like 180 grams of protein.
B
180.
A
Yeah. Really keep the protein high.
B
Damn. Yeah, yeah. Now right now I'm. Because, bro, like, I had a moment where I was like, I'll go through these little phases where I'm like eating like, I love going out to eat. I love dinners. So I'll go out. I was. I'll go out to dinners. But it's.
A
Dinners is hard, dude. When they bring the bread to the table and shit too, that's what fucks you, Kyle.
B
If you stop going to gym for like two weeks, you get fat, I get fat again. It sucks, bro.
A
It's all diet, dude.
B
It's all diet. So when you're going to get bread and pastas and we're in Miami, bro. The best Italian food besides New York, bro, you are eating the cheese and all this. It's just so good. But one thing I did know is one thing I could tell you is when you get to where you want to be, you know, with your. With your. With your results from the gym, you can go out and eat once or once a week or twice a week.
A
Yeah.
B
As long as you're training, you're good.
A
Yeah.
B
But the thing is like, for me, like, I'll go on like an eating binge and I'll travel and you know how it is when you're travel, bro.
A
Traveling's tough, dude.
B
It's hard to work out when you're traveling. So I'll. I'll travel there. Here it's like it's been three weeks and damn, I already gained 10 pounds like that, so. But now it's like, if I'm gonna eat, make sure I sweat more. I'll go in the Sauna. I just. I don't know, man. It's just like, you gotta. It's all about balancing. But we're humans. We should be able to have fun and go eat, you know? Yeah.
A
100.
B
But diet is number one for sure.
A
Who are like the biggest streamers right now?
B
Right now is. I'll give you five. That I see everywhere. You got speed, Kai. I would say Max is doing his thing. Blackboy, Max doing his thing.
A
He's popping off, right?
B
He's popping off. I would. You know, I'm going to put there. I'm going to. Even though, like, people are like, what the fuck? I'm going to say Neon, bro, he's had some good moments this year. The past few months. I'm putting the. On there and I'm going to put. I'm going to put silky there, too. So he's been doing his thing and I'm. I'm happy to see what he's doing.
A
So you kind of popped off. Did you help, like, manage Neon or.
B
No, I kind of guided him in a way a few times or. A few. A few. For a few months here and there. He's been like, you know, a friend of mine for years. Him and I butted heads a little while ago, but everything's good now. It's all love now. And he's doing his thing and he's grown and matured as a person. He's doing great.
A
So why'd you guys, like, butt heads at the time?
B
I think what he was is that.
A
When he was going like, yeah, crazy.
B
Crazy on people and saying crazy things, doing crazy. He's relaxed now. He's calmed down.
A
He was always, like, funny, though, to me.
B
Yeah.
A
Like, he triggered certain people, obviously, in the comments. Like, everyone hates him and. But I always found him jokes, not I. Yeah, bro.
B
Like, for example, when I first brought him in with, it was me, him. And I think Tate is when people were first, like, oh, yeah, it's my first time. People just, like, were like, laughing and laughing, but everyone's obviously roasting him. But now he's definitely humbled out, matured a lot. He knows what he wants to do and he's doing his thing. And I think anybody that's doing their thing and they're taking pride in it, they're doing thing. It's. It's great to see, you know, I love. I love when people try and do what they love to do. So that's great. It's really.
A
How do you navigate that? Like, who you keep around you and Stuff like that.
B
Yeah, well, nowadays, bro, I've just been enjoying a lot of life, which is really fun. It's fun sometimes to enjoy your success, to look back and look like, oh, my God, I built this. I did this, I did that. And right now, my life, I've just been laying low, worrying about this Twitch the switch stuff, which is smart. Yeah. Yeah, man. I'm just connecting. I went on a couple family trips. My. My parents, I haven't been doing. I've never. I don't ever do that. And me and my dad, we've been. We've been hanging out a lot, so just getting close to my family, you know, that's good. It's great right now for me.
A
What do your parents think about everything and how far you've come?
B
Oh, man, they're.
A
Did they. Were they always supportive or.
B
No, for the most part, they. They always were. They've always believed in me. They always gave me a leap of faith, always. And it's just great, man. It's great being able to tell your parents you don't have to work anymore. And it's great to look them in the eyes, be like, I got us. I got this family now. So. But. But yeah, I mean, they're. They're. They're blown away by everything. They still don't believe it. And, you know, parents, that. They're like, oh, honey, I don't want to spend this and that, but, like, come on, you can, like, you know, so. But they're. They're. They're definitely getting more used to it, which is great.
A
So how about, like, friends behind the scene? Is it tough sometimes to, like, keep certain people around or, like. Yeah, something I struggle with, too, dude.
B
It sucks, bro.
A
It's tough, right?
B
It's like, people show their true color sometimes, and it might take a year, maybe two, but when it happens, it's like, damn. Like, I really. With this person. I really like this person a lot. And it's like, you happen to be a weirdo, and now it's like, damn. So I've been through a lot of people in and out, and sometimes you just got to cut people off that, you know, unfortunately don't fit your life anymore, and you evolve as a person, as a human being, and it's life, bro. It's all part of life. You're going to outgrow a lot of people, but you learn that.
A
And I think that's one thing. I've heard you say it, too. It's smart, too, I think, like, yeah, even people in Our crew, whether it's like Steiny or someone or anyone, they're always like, yo, we got to be doing this, we got to be doing this, we got to be doing this. But I think advice I'd say to people is like this social media game is such a marathon. It's a mental marathon, right?
B
Yeah.
A
Like I've heard you say, mental health is just so important. Like if you don't have your mental health in this game, you're fucked. Right. So one thing that's good about you too is like, yeah, even if you like take a step away for a bit when you come back, as long as you come back with something big, things are right back to normal. Like if you look 10 years from now, is anyone going to be like, oh yeah, he didn't took like two months off like that. Like they're not, they're not. Right?
B
Like I agree with that.
A
Yeah. That's one thing I never stress about too is trying to like, when you need a break, do it. You need a break.
B
Yeah, people won't forget. I mean, look, people like us. You're solidified. Exactly. I can come back at any moment, do this and that and this and that and it's like, I know I can do that. And if right now I'm having fun in my real life and I'm taking a break from things and I'm happy and as the happiest ever been, I'm gonna keep rolling the dice with that and laying low is great and all these things, but I'm just waiting. I mean it's a waiting period right now for me, but I'll always be back and always give people what they want to see. And this year with events and stuff, I'm really looking forward to that. But, but yeah, man, I agree with what you're saying. It's like in 10 years from now when people look back, it's like, oh, Aiden took a two month, three month, four month break.
A
But ah, no one gives a. In the long term what's, what's like.
B
Your ultimate goal, you know, I think about that a lot.
A
How old are you now? 24. 24, 24.
B
I'll be 25 this year, which is nuts. I think when you met me I was 19 and you were 25. Crazy. Yeah. You met me when I was 19.
A
19. 19. So yeah, so yeah, like that's, that's crazy.
B
Yeah.
A
Popping off at 19.
B
Crazy man. Yeah, I, yeah, it's nuts. But my goals now I have the financial goal already kind of set. So now it's kind of more just building stuff out and helping people and giving people opportunity. You know, that's the best you could do for somebody is if they're lost in this world, try to guide them and give them the best opportunity that they, that they want to or, sorry, give them the, the opportunity, the best way you could possibly do it. And I think that's the goals I have right now. Helping people out and helping bring them to their goals and help them accomplish what they want to do success wise.
A
You think you'll ever like stop streaming at a certain age or like.
B
Oh, definitely. I'll pop in and out. I'll always be in and out though. But I mean, look man, what do you think?
A
Like what age?
B
I don't know. I just think streaming nowadays is. It's changed and it's changed for the better, which is great, but it's very saturated. Very, very saturated. And I think nowadays what I can say is I just love to, to, to, to help people and I love my real life so much. It's like I don't ever see myself being the everyday consistent streamer ever again. But I do think I eventually would want to do like a subathon maybe because everyone's done one, but we'll see. Yeah.
A
When was the last time you've done something like that?
B
A long time ago.
A
I mean, yeah, because people ask us like, why don't you get into streaming? And I'm like, dude, I respect you guys for how much time? Because when you're on the come up, you can't do it once a week, right?
B
You've gotta like, what?
A
For a beginner streamer? Tell them like, how much do you need to stream, man?
B
Every day.
A
Every day for how long?
B
Oh man, I would say at least four hours, five hours. I mean, bro, you have to it when you're, when you're coming up, it's like it's very, very important you do that. I think Max is going live 365 days in a row.
A
Holy shit.
B
Yeah, he's on the come up though. He's doing his thing. People are first finding out about his name and stuff and he has to, it's like he has that goal set and it's great. And you can only be happy for somebody like that. It's like they know what they want to do and let them do what they want to do and it's still so new to him. So it's like he's still going to figure stuff out and it's, it's Cool to watch his journey. It's cool to watch people like that that have goals and they fall through with their goals and stuff. So it's great. I remember Max come to come sat with me like a year ago. He's like, yo, ain't I want to do kick. I want to do kick and I really want to do kick and do this and that and this and that. I'm like, he's doing everything basically what he told me a year ago. Like, I want to do this. I already know what I want to do. I'm going to blow up. Max knew it. And I'm actually happy he didn't come to kick. I know he's happy too, because I don't think things would have worked out the way he expect them to. He stayed on Twitch. He did what he needed to do and that opened up things like phase for him and all these other things and avenues. And now he's. Now he's doing his thing and you can only be happy for somebody like that. It's great to see. It's fun to watch.
A
Are you. Are you ever amazed at like how viral some of your shit goes? Like, do you tr. Like when you ask Islam, like the WI fi thing, like, is there a little bit of you that's like, yo, this is gonna snap if I ask that? Are you being dead ass?
B
I just. I was serious. Yeah, I don't know. I thought they shut it off, but then I was like, oh, that's North Korea. Yeah, I don't think they have WI.
A
Fi there in Russia.
B
No. North Korea, they probably have WI fi.
A
Kim Jong un's got strong wi fi.
B

A
Yeah.

B

B
I live with speed for a long time. Yeah.
A

A
100.
B
It's like when you look at somebody like that, you know, it's like, damn, this guy's changing the game always. Not even with just streaming with everything. And people always ask, like, Aiden, what do you think, like, years ago and stuff, like, what do you think about Speed's career and all this stuff? I'm always like, dude, like. Like, it's gonna keep getting bigger, bro. Wait till this guy does a real sit downstream with Ronaldo. Wait till this guy does this. We're just gonna like, dude, he's. He's gonna keep shooting for the stars. That's. He's gonna get even bigger and bigger and bigger. So I'm. It's so. It's so awesome seeing him do what he loves to do and accomplish what he's accomplishing. It's really great.
A
How about Kai? Oh, yeah, he's. That guy's like a superstar as well.
B
Kai is just doing the best too. I mean, like, look. Look at. You gotta look at, like, and see like how Kai came up. He was doing like, Facebook, Facebook, little like acting like on these little Facebook things.
A
Really?
B
Then. Yeah, and then. And then I have a DM from him and he's like, yo, bro, I want to get a stream. Blah, blah. And then, like the E Dates. And then after the E Dates, it's like, then he started doing stuff. And then it's like now it's like, boom. All he just took off and it's like. But Kai's always had a. An itch for this stuff. I mean, even on his Facebook, stuff he would do years ago. Like, I feel like Kai's always known he's gonna be where he's at, and that's just like a superpower. He's always known where he's going to be. He predicted. I think he predicted and manifested himself. So it's cool seeing that. It really, really is. It's awesome. And it's awesome to see what they've both done for the space. It's great.
A
Streaming just. Yeah, it blows my mind. You think it's going to be like here to stay for it's saturated.
B
Do I think it's be here to stay? I think you're going to have to keep evolving with it because it's one of those things where it's like right now you have a selected maybe 10 streamers that are making headlines in mainstream media. But you gotta, you're gonna have to keep evolving with it if you want to keep making it. And I think, like I said, I think, I think well produced TV like content because live streaming right now is the new tv. So I think well produced events, well produced TV like content is the move for streaming and I think if you do that, it's all you need.
