  Yeah, no, it's tough. Yeah, I be out there all the time when I'm in the city.

• 1:06Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, man. It was, it was pretty cool.

• 1:15Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 1:16Speaker 01

  That's like, right, that's like where all the cool people chill at. That's from Kensington.

• 1:20Matt McCusker?

  Yeah.

• 1:20Speaker 01

  Yeah. So I just chill over there. I'm, I'm from like the heart, like the middle of it, though. They can't put, they ain't got no cameras right there.

• 1:27Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, true.

• 1:28Speaker 01

  There's like the bad, bad side, like in the middle of it, in the middle of it, right there. Well, you see, that's like the outskirts. Where all like the people all like to, not to say it like that, though, but the fiends come to that side and just sit there and chill out.

• 1:39Matt McCusker?

  Yeah.

• 1:40Speaker 01

  That's where the cops are. Everything is safe right there on that side. So that's the side like I usually chill.

• 1:44Speaker 02

  Pretty chill.

• 1:45Speaker 01

  Yeah, hell yeah. They just like us.

• 1:47Speaker 02

  Yeah, they seem all right.

• 1:48Speaker 01

  Yeah, they just like us. I just had a fucking show in Orlando. It was in Orlando, right? Where bro jumped off of the uh, yeah, this is my man. He from Philly though, he from Philly. He moved to Orlando, bro. He fucking jumped on, so he, so when I got to the show, he already at the show. And when I seen him, he walked right up to me and grabbed me by, got my shoulder. Yo, bro, just snuck inside the uh, inside your um, room. He told you something? Yeah. And he got his fucking face painted as a clown. I'm gonna show you, but he got his face painted as a clown, he got the red nose and everything. He like, bro, I fucking snuck in here, bro. You gotta take me on stage with you. And I'm like, alright, I'm gonna take you on stage.

• 2:31Speaker 01

  We get to the stage, we get to the stage. And I let it, I'm like, yo, you could just come for like, probably like one or two songs and that's it, bro. Not too much. He get on stage, he sat there for the whole, all every song. And then, then he keeps walking, he walked up to me and grabbed my shoulder, he said, yo, bro. Um, it's a trash, you know, I got like my uh, my setup though, like my setup is like Kensington. So I got the trash can, I got the tents, I got clothes. He tapped the trash can, he's like, throw the trash can in my face. While I'm on the stage performing. So I'm like, damn, should I do this shit? I just did it, bang. I hit him in, I hit him in the face with the trash can. He's like, bro, now I need to do something else, bro. Just count off the three, count off the three and I'm gonna do something. Wall of your shows going on?

• 3:15Speaker 01

  Yeah, like I'm performing, I'm performing. This guy rules. I'm rapping my songs and he's whispering in my ear the whole time like, bro, tell, count down to three, count down to three. So I'm like, alright, bet, we just gonna count down to six, seven then. So I'm counting, I'm like, one, two, three, I say six, seven. He jumps off the trash can and jumps into the crowd and his, and the crowd didn't catch him.

• 3:38Speaker 01

  The crowd caught, the crowd pushed him, like when he jumped, they pushed him, they was trying to push him back on the stage. But when he jumped, he hit his face on the corner of the stage. And he fractured, he broke a bone in the skull. The air tunnels weren't going to his, his tunnels, the air tunnels that go to your brain? I don't know, I don't know if I'm explaining that right, but he wasn't getting air, oxygen towards his brain. Oh shit, he got fucked up. Yeah, he broke his entire eye socket, broke in his eye, whole entire, he can't even, right now he can't even see that well out of his eye socket. Yeah, matter of fact, he just. Just clowning around. He just ran away, he just ran out of the um, hospital.

• 4:19Matt McCusker?

  He escaped the hospital too?

  Alright, so I just had a show in Houston.

• 6:25Matt McCusker?

  Yeah?

• 6:25Speaker 01

  Yeah, and I was at, uh, it wasn't, I don't know, it probably was because I didn't promote it a lot though, but it was probably only like a hundred people there. But the venue only carried 200 though, so.

• 6:35Speaker 02

  That's fine.

• 6:36Speaker 01

  It was like half full though.

• 6:37Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 6:51Speaker 01

  You know how it is though, like when you perform it and everybody's not, yo.

• 6:55Matt McCusker?

  Oh, yeah.

• 6:56Speaker 01

  But it still was a great show though, like, I'm not saying it was a bad show, it was a great show though. It was just, I was expecting more, so I was, you know, I just, you know how the nervous, the nervous shows are when you leave off of the show is like, did you do good or did you not do good, like you just like in your head.

• 7:10Matt McCusker?

  I guess it's hard, yeah, it's hard to tell.

• 11:19Matt McCusker?

  So the alligator, how do you, how do you take care of an alligator?

• 11:21Speaker 01

  Yeah, so I got, I got a cousin, I got a cousin, I don't know how she's not scared to grab the alligator the way she is though. Like she just goes in there and grabs it. I'm scared though. So when I want to play around with it, I'll call my cousin, like yo, yeah, come to my house, what you doing, you bored, come to my house. She'll come over and she'll just pick it up. Do I, but when I feed it, I just get like little tonsils and grab the mouse in there.

• 11:50Speaker 02

  What do you, oh, you feed it mice?

• 11:51Speaker 01

  Yeah, I feed it mice. I feed it rats.

• 11:53Matt McCusker?

  Where's it live from? Does it live like in a tank or?

• 11:58Speaker 01

  Yeah, I got a tank. Yeah, I got a balcony in my complex. I got a balcony and a tank is like, probably about like, like, yeah, literally like the size of this part of the car.

• 12:08Matt McCusker?

  Oh, that's awesome.

• 12:09Speaker 01

  Yeah, so I just, he's just in the, he's just in the tank. I gotta feed, I gotta, and I said feed, I gotta clean it out. I be scared to like take it out and clean it. So it's like a dirty tank right now. It's swampy, it's swampy right now.

• 12:25Matt McCusker?

  But your mom's handling the alligator right now?

• 12:27Speaker 01

  Yeah, she about to. I just texted it this morning. Yeah, she should have probably went over there and fed him already.

• 12:31Matt McCusker?

  Damn.

• 12:32Speaker 01

  Yeah, yep.

• 12:33Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, has it bit you yet?

• 12:34Speaker 01

  No, but it tried. When I first, when I first got it, when I first got it, I didn't have a tank for it. So.

• 12:42Matt McCusker?

  I saw it in your shower. There's a video of just an alligator in the shower.

• 12:47Speaker 02

  You're the first rapper to get bit by an alligator.

• 12:52Speaker 01

  So when I first got it, when I first got it, I didn't have nowhere to put it. And then it never crossed my mind to put it in the shower. So I had it running around the entire house for like two days.

• 13:03Speaker 02

  They mostly stay still, right?

• 13:05Speaker 01

  Every day while I'm asleep.

• 13:06Speaker 02

  What's he running around?

• 13:07Speaker 01

  Yeah, when I bought, in my house, I don't got a, um, I don't got a bed set up. I got a bed, but I don't got the, uh, what is it called, the frame?

• 13:16Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 13:17Speaker 01

  I don't got a bed, I just got a bed and the bed's on the floor.

• 13:20Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 13:21Speaker 01

  I just bought a king size bed and just threw them on the floor, like just imagine, just threw it on the floor.

• 13:25Matt McCusker?

  Your alligator range.

• 13:26Speaker 01

  So when I'm laying down, I'm laying down this low, so when I first got it and put it in the house, I, I couldn't even go to sleep.

• 13:36Speaker 01

  Cause I lost them, the fridge, I lost them and I couldn't find them, so I just couldn't go to sleep for like two days straight.

• 13:42Speaker 02

  There's an alligator in the fucking house, dude. I can't sleep if I saw a spider. If I saw a spider before I turn the lights out, I'm, that fucker's in here.

• 13:54Speaker 02

  You got a gator going down there.

• 13:56Matt McCusker?

  That's so terrifying, so I couldn't, yeah, I couldn't sleep if there was a gator on the loose.

• 13:59Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 14:00Matt McCusker?

  So even a baby gator bite would fucking hurt, wouldn't it?

• 14:02Speaker 02

  Yeah, it'd hurt like hell.

• 14:03Matt McCusker?

  Ah, damn.

• 14:04Speaker 01

  Yeah, and you know they do like a death swirl, like when they latch on to you, you know, their jaws like really strong, their jaws strong to the nines. And you know, when they bite, when they get bigger though, they'll just spin their body and just go, and just keep spinning, you know, they got, it's called a death swirl, where they can spin.

• 14:20Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, that'd be a terrible way to wake up, just say a death swirl.

• 14:24Speaker 02

  Get your foot ripped off, fuck, god damn.

• 14:27Matt McCusker?

  So what are you gonna do when it gets like, I guess, do they, are they like, I know iguanas only grow so big as their tank.

• 14:32Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 14:33Matt McCusker?

  What are you gonna do when the thing gets?

• 14:34Speaker 01

  It's kinda like the same thing with the alligators though, too, though, but they're always gonna outgrow the tank. They're not like iguanas though, they grow.

• 14:41Matt McCusker?

  Oh, no.

• 14:42Speaker 01

  They're still gonna grow, but they, the process of their growth is slower though, while they're in the smaller tank.

• 14:48Matt McCusker?

  Got you.

• 14:48Speaker 01

  But.

• 14:49Speaker 02

  Just put them out on Kensington.

• 14:50Speaker 01

  Yeah, now when they get older though.

• 14:51Speaker 02

  Just put them out on Kensington. They'll take care of it, somebody will get it.

• 14:54Speaker 01

  When they get older, I'll probably just move them back to the tub.

• 14:57Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 15:02Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, now you have no choice, you, you gotta get the big mansion so you can get an alligator. You can get a, you can put them in a moat outside your house, that'd be tight.

• 15:09Speaker 01

  That's, that's my whole plan though, that's what I was gonna say.

• 15:12Speaker 02

  Get a moat, yeah.

• 15:13Speaker 01

  Cause he grew up with me, he got it out the mud with me.

• 15:17Speaker 02

  What's his name, does he have a name?

• 15:18Speaker 01

  Yeah, Trank.

• 15:19Matt McCusker?

  Trank?

• 15:19Speaker 01

  Call, better call.

• 16:15Matt McCusker?

  Apparently if you do it, like you can do it every now and again. If you go to like the dentist or whatever, if you do even a little bit every day, your body stops producing B, like vitamin B12. That's why people's legs go numb and shit. Did you get any of that or you were just like?

• 16:28Speaker 01

  Like I'm taking the shit too long.

• 16:30Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, thank God.

• 16:45Matt McCusker?

• 16:53Speaker 01

  And I did it to myself.

• 16:55Matt McCusker?

  I mean, it is crazy. They don't warn you. You're like, yeah, you can do that.

And they're like, oh, what's Scott doing? All right, we're doing that too. And then I actually like start really like understanding what it is. And then I'm like, oh, fuck, man. I got so many people on this shit. And now I can't take it back from it. And so it's just like, I just completely stopped and I just, now I let, let, let it be known though. Let it be known. Like that shit is no good.

• 45:56Speaker 02

  Isn't that like a branch, like, isn't it like a combination of Catholicism, like, Spanish Catholicism? And native religions?

• 46:05Matt McCusker?

  Could be.

• 46:07Speaker 02

  That's what I always assumed.

• 46:07Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, do they, they.

• 46:08Speaker 02

  That was like, yeah.

• 46:10Matt McCusker?

  I think so.

• 46:11Speaker 01

  Yeah, it's like, and I, I don't know what Catholicism means, though.

• 46:15Speaker 02

  Just Christianity, like, a cross.

• 46:16Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, Jesus.

• 46:18Speaker 01

  Yeah, I feel like every religion is like Catholicism.

• 46:21Speaker 02

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 46:22Matt McCusker?

  Well, also, you could look in, I mean, Jesus is pretty chill, look into him.

• 46:25Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 46:26Speaker 01

  Yeah, you said Jesus is pretty chill looking at him, yeah.

• 46:30Matt McCusker?

  You could look into that, too.

• 46:30Speaker 01

  So you think Jesus, you think Jesus looks like the person that everybody shows?

• 46:35Matt McCusker?

  No, he was Jewish.

• 46:37Speaker 02

  He was Aramaic.

• 46:39Matt McCusker?

  He's Aramaic, yeah.

• 46:40Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 46:41Matt McCusker?

  So I think he looks like a.

• 46:43Speaker 01

  You say he Aramaic?

• 46:44Speaker 02

  He was Aramaic.

• 46:45Speaker 01

  What's that?

• 46:46Speaker 02

  That's, uh, where he was from, Aramaia.

• 46:49Matt McCusker?

  It's like the desert, basically.

• 46:50Speaker 02

  Like, uh, yeah, like Palestine, Israel, where that is right now.

• 46:55Speaker 01

  See what y'all are.

• 51:26Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 51:26Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, I'm still putting my whole thing together for the year, so I'm gonna try to make it down there for sure. Cause I just did Atlantic City and I feel like a lot of people from Philly went down there, so I don't wanna give them the same kinda material.

• 51:36Speaker 01

  You gotta come see Kensington.

• 51:37Matt McCusker?

  Dude, that'd be sick.

• 51:38Speaker 01

  With me.

• 51:38Speaker 02

  That'd be fun.

• 51:40Matt McCusker?

  That would be actually a blast. I tried to shoot my, for my first comedy special, I did an intro where I was just on rollerblades around the city and I, my idea was to go down Kensington Ave. And it was like, it was just so crowded that day and we were filming and I'm on rollerblades, which people didn't like, I, no one bothered me, I was on the blades, but we had a camera guy in a trunk with a big camera. And that started getting a lot of attention and then everyone was getting kinda like, I don't know, I don't know.

• 52:04Speaker 02

  Oh yeah, you don't wanna be on camera.

• 52:06Matt McCusker?

  But we did, I've been, you see it, I'm up there and I'm on rollerblades and a guy just walks out and goes, boom, like that to me and I was like, Jesus fucking Christ.

• 52:14Matt McCusker?

  I was, yeah, I was pretty, it was right at Kensington and Allegheny and I kinda cut through the, right through the intersection.

• 52:20Speaker 01

  I don't play the Playstation or nothing?

• 52:22Speaker 02

  Yeah, Xbox.

  You don't like Xbox?

• 52:31Speaker 01

  Nah, I did, but I got it on the Playstation. Playstation better. I play Grand Theft Auto. I got a big group.

  Gotta get an alligator. You gotta talk to, you gotta talk to a rock star, get your character and an alligator.

• 53:33Matt McCusker?

  Yeah. When you play, do you keep it pretty chill on GTA? Or are you going nuts and like running people over and shit?

• 53:39Speaker 01

  I'm killing everybody.

• 53:43Speaker 02

  So you're the reason I can't play?

• 53:46Speaker 02

  I try to get on, someone just drive a car right through me.

• 53:49Speaker 01

  I get the notifications and it's like, um, calm. It's like something like calm down. Like, uh, yeah, like they trying to take you after, like, you get drawn and like chill out.
