We're going to take a break from that episode to talk about our boys from prize picks, which you know we love. Oh, so much. It would be back. Now, prize picks is dropping a promotion every day for the NFL season, including weekly guarantee pick tokens for Monday night football. Take any player to just get one yard, literally one yard, and you could cash your pick. Now, this is what I'm most excited about with prize picks from football season. You can now combine a player and a team win, so you can pick the charges to win, which chances are they're not going to. And you can pick a player performance stat. Now, you can pick up to four teams using at least two plays. Before you can pick up to six teams to stack your line up. So now you know I'm big blue, but not the Cowboys blue, the Giants blue. So I picked Isaiah likely, Cam Scout a boo, Giants to win. You know, I had to throw CDLAM on there, you know, just to have another other team, but you know the big blue is going to win, baby. Now the best part about prize picks is they do have a good protection policy, so the following players were rebooted in week one. Okay, Sam Darnold, half a million dollars in reboots. Okay? Kyler Murray. Almost a million dollars, 950K in reboots. So if a player gets injured or he doesn't wind up playing, they just reboot you. Now you know this is what I love because sometimes I struggle. I can't win all the time. You know, I ask my friends sometimes they don't have the right ones. But now there's a new way for users to discover partner profiles. The Wins tab services top recent winning entries from the community. Users can also view profiles and follow other users from this new feed card. So make sure you follow Michael Rainey, Jr. and Gianni Payolo on the prize pick to app. We've been winning. We really have been winning and I usually I'm 50, 50. I've been on a hot streak. I mean, gee, I don't know, man, I've been on a little streak lately. I don't know. You say you win them, but I think I'm going a little bit more than you, but I actually did look at you the other day. Your picks were looking good. They're looking pretty good. Now prize picks has your back. This is why we love them so much. They will reboot your picks with this injury prevention policy. Now prize picks is available in most states like California, Texas and Florida. Now new users, you could play $5 and get $150,000 on land if you win. Now make sure you use the code crew for prize picks. Okay, support the boys like prize picks have been supporting us. Help keep the pod going. We love you guys so much back to the episode. So you're starting to get into a little bit more of like TV stuff, potentially maybe have a production company, all that. What stuff that you kind of want to maybe make or see yourself making or if you were to do something about you, like who would you want to play you? Who would I want to play with? Yeah, if you could pick one actor to play you, who would it be? See, Tariq almost like the total opposite of me, so I wouldn't say him. Yeah. But he's a good actor. He could. He a good actor, but I got to have somebody like, I got to have like DMX, DMX could probably play me. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, good. Tariq a little too late. Yeah, yeah. You're too funny. You're funny, are they neat? You're too busy. You're too busy. You're too busy. Fucking being black. Hey, he's like a black person. That's black. That's black. I know almost. Like for real. Looking at you on a TV like this, they could probably say a drill for real. He's an actor for real, for sure. All right. That's going to be serious. He's serious. It's their greatest moment in podcasts. It's just like that. Yeah. A moment to get text me sometimes and he'll just be like, yeah, this is just my life right now. I call you back later. He's like, I'm a little busy. Like, I'm doing something. I'm like, bro, what are you doing? Where are you at? Where are you at? Living life. What? Are you interested in getting into acting and, you know, doing production stuff like that? Could you see yourself like being on set or being on power or something like that? Yeah. Yeah. Easy. Yeah. I'm telling you got, like, you got a little sense, you could, you could just, yeah, you got like cool words. Yeah. You got cool ways of putting them. But yeah, I'm definitely diving into, into movies and stuff. I did. I did shit with Lil Dickian. Oh, my. Fueled shit. Did you do Dave? Were you on Dave? Or that in the show that he did or you just did something different with Lil Dickian? I did. I did. No, I wasn't. I don't think it was Dave. I wasn't naming that shit, man, he did like a little series, but I think it was a fuck. He's funny. Yeah. But it was like, it was kind of like just like some random like in the woods and desert. It really wasn't even like a real movie set. Yeah. It was more so just like, like Jack has. Yeah. We just like filming. Yeah. But yeah. I definitely want to get into the movie. Yeah. I think it inspired me to like, to do it. I'd be looking at you. I think I'm better than he. That's what made me at, yeah, I'm better than he knew, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But that's what I love about also like what 50 is done with power and all that stuff. But like the culture like you go up on stage and you do something that I'm not familiar with. And it's, it's, I'm in awe with it. And I feel like watching you perform like this is fucking unbelievable. So that's what I love when artists say the same to us, they're like, oh, when we watch you, like we're at home, like that feels good because it feels like we're inspiring each other. Like, raise the floor, you know? Absolutely. I like it. We still ain't got used to that. Like when people, niggas like this, like, well, this is stuck, I mean, I'm really ain't here trying to be cool. And shit. Bro, this is slime. Like I'm in here. But it's trying like, in the fact that he know us, it's crazy, like to me. Over and over. Yeah. Yeah. Over and over and over. Yeah. That's cool. I'm burnt right now, bro. I'll tell you. I feel you. I feel you. If you could create a character in power to play what would it be? Create one? Would you want it? What would you want to be? Would you be a lawyer? Would you be a problem? A problem. A problem. A problem. A problem. A problem. Like, I'm a gist. like I'd be on some magic shit I do shit just like you know like psycho you gotta just like Kendrick did like Kendrick did yeah he like he was like Jack yeah he was like a joggy he was crazy and he was crazy yeah well I want to be like some real like angel Chris angel like yeah I want you to actually look at me and he shouldn't be like I'm so glad he do that dumb shit you know I want to be like I want to embody I feel like that's how it is with you too though that's how it is with you I think he I think you're good at them but I think we black so like it's common that you can act so when you but when you see like a white guy act black and he like ace it you like he would like you know it is like you ain't doing this and I don't think you can do like you know like you're doing it it's with him it's him yeah I sweat but I definitely thought a few times like I probably got a friendly bit was somebody like I bitch whatever they think he's had done so something I sold a little bit of weed in middle school okay that's the extent of how far I went so when you watch ghost were you locked up or this was you you were already out but there was before I got locked up before you got locked up I think I was like yeah I watched two seasons then I went to jail I think like two or three seasons came out when I went to jail to thank yeah to I think two seasons but so this is a good story which I was dying to tell you about this so we mentioned you in the show do you remember it no me and Tareek are in an argument and and where he's like all the feds are on to us like all this up they have a Rico case on us and the the script written was like Braden says like Gambino crime family so I go up to the writer I'm like I'm gonna spice this up a little bit this is just like maybe a couple months into your case like all this up I'm like this is gonna go crazy it's gonna go crazy so I just changed I said we have a Rico and and I go like YSL Rico I say that to tree he's like what do you mean a Rico like a YSL Rico I remember I remember I'm true yeah it made the show and it went so viral and I'm like I just want to see this yeah I call home I call home and I was on the phone with that like man you know you know you know the money is on power on ghost the money is like they say it's on there and they say something about your Rico I think door once I'm about to talk like I literally it was I changed the script I was like I got to put dog in it yeah yeah yeah what the guys is cool too but yeah like right now yeah this day and age yeah this sick so so what's next like you got music you're touring you have an album coming out potentially next year this year this year oh so love we'll give another solo yeah come on come on R&B my phone going R&B oh Chris come on man don't thread me with a good time I'm going R&B I'm going R&B it's gonna be more like punk the less even more but it is real there's Mary J I'm going R&B I'm going R&B most of the shit is like most of the songs are sex with them it ain't it ain't it's probably like two or three heartbreak songs most of them is just like fun times like what should you be making your songs I would love to know because to get in the mind of you like I was just listening to around back even to think of these ad lives they get to think to do your voice in those cadences like think of like what the fuck I'm just interested in that mind like that's called hell I think I think I think once again if you if you smart enough to like think a little a little deeper it's you you start reaching like a you know a deeper crowd but I feel like I don't know I feel like I know how to lock in when it's time when it's time to like lock in on the song or subject I'm good with like locking in on a subject and making like like if I make a song about R&B the gorilla I'm gonna make like some parts mean some parts good some parts impartial you know you just you try to just ace all all ways you can do it because some people are gonna listen to half of the song like you like the second person of driving Jews some people like the first yeah some people really just like the first verse so much that they don't even know the second one yeah that's crazy and it's like you like not a second when it's like that's when you talk about me that's when he's talking about me that's when they can start pouring his heart out like he was pouring your heart out of the beginning but then you just said you know what that's I feel like that's that's the creative process I know it's just like I know to go like so far with like my thinking process on any song that's what me I think that's what and I like to live it live it out there like right now I'm like super in love with my girl so you just have so many little moments and it's just I think I ain't making that many heartbreak songs and R&B album because we just like having fun right now I feel like I don't know I feel like if it was like some if it was bad I probably don't make more like heartbreak break songs but I try to just be real like realistic yeah I feel like in order to be a better actor you got to have real life experiences facts you know what I'm saying like better actors and niggas who been through shit no y'all should be because like cuz pause because you know it's crazy but it's because got down as an actor I feel like I feel like y'all got to learn y'all got to like y'all got to be smart to like pull out certain words that take you to like the white people live them like you got to go today like white humor like you know you watch like white humor like comedies and she sometimes heard like yeah the office is crazy yeah you know I feel like y'all got the hardest job because you got y'all got to like it kind of got to be like out of bad experience for you to like ace yeah you got it yeah yeah you got to like beat out of your body to to be able to see like the moves you make or like the way you want people to under
