Transcript of Adin Ross goes IN on Kendrick vs Drake Beef and Reveals his Relationship with Barron Trump!

We got an amazing pod coming up with Aiden Ross right now.

I love catching up with this guy. Before we get into it, if you have not tried out the Prizepicks app, you got to download it right now. You guys know me. I love firing on sports, and I've tried every single app. In my opinion, prizepicks is by far the best. Instead of choosing teams, you're choosing individual players. Each player has a set projection, and you either go more or less than that set projection. So if you know what players are going to perform on what night, this is a no-brainer. If you're smart with sports, download the prizepicks app. If you've never tried it, you can use code Nelk. And if you put in $5, you get $50 free. No string to attach. Take advantage of that code. Prizepicks is available in so many states. It's available in Cali, it's available in Texas. Football is over, but big fire is coming up. March Madness is right right around the corner. You know we're going to be firing big on prizepicks. I post my pics all the time on my stories, so stay tuned for those. Shut up, Prizepicks. Best firing app on sports in the game.

Download the prizepicks app. Use code Nelk.

Let's get into the podcast. Yo, we got Aiden Ross, my boy. We go back a little bit. One of the most fucking influential people on the fucking internet. No matter what you do, you're always just fucking here to stay now.

One of the first streams I did when I was in the LA house was you. You pulled up on me. I remember, yeah.

You remember that? Yeah. That's when you were just popping off, starting to go crazy, right?

Yeah, bro. Yeah.

Yeah, that's when you were popping off living with Banks in the Cloud House.

Yeah, the Cloud House. I love that. That was the second cloud house. Yeah, it was the part two. Exactly. It's crazy because I was like, before even... I think after the stream, we just went outside. We were just shotguning just for the fuck 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? Yeah, Weed Lake.

It's crazy how much Banks has done for people, right?

Dude, Banks, bro.

I always say this all the time, but we wouldn't be anywhere without Banks for sure. Same with me. His endorsement, putting us on in LA, the amount of people he connected us with. And he did it all for free, too. Never tried to take a piece of us. Nothing.

Because when I moved to LA, and this is 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 it. He's like, Yo, Aiden, don't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it. He looked out for me. He put me his genuine-Don't join Faze. Don't join Faze 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 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 later down the line, I'm able to now help him out with certain things and bless him on certain stuff. And that's great. It's just great being able to reciprocate that.

I think he just likes seeing people win because he has a crazy eye for talent, too. So I think when he sees someone, he's like, yo, that person could be big. He likes proving himself right in a way where he's like, I want to see that person win. Dude, he's always early.

He's alwaysIt's always early. When it comes to banks, bro, he's just one of those guys that have that sense to know who's going to make it. 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. So he's always on it.

Business-wise with Kick, where are you at? Are you allowed to say what Your deal is your deal was like, your equity? Are you still an equity partner?

Still an equity partner. I'm actually doing more equity stuff with them when it comes to my new events I'm creating with them this year. 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 compete against it. We're going to do our own stream rewards. I'm obviously doing the boxing now, the brand-rest boxing, which is big. I got a few more events coming, too, that I've talked about. But events are going to be really great for streaming because it's just a well-produced event that you can keep spamming in a way, and you can change it up and add more people, and people will just be all for it. I think that's the future of live streaming, just making crazy, well-produced events.

That stuff that you want to do more is more high production shit.

Exactly. That's where the equity is, too. It's like, if I could start a business... Sorry, not a business. If I could start an event up with, for example, Eddie, him and I are going to a 50/50 type of thing where we're both 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 somebody big will pay for whatever we're putting out. And that's the goal on that. But we're just doing it for the fun of it right now, the love and the fun of it, because money doesn't really mean anything to that guy. He just loves... He's very passionate. He's driven. And he just loves the competition.

Let's get back in the pod. What What was it like doing the stream with Drake on Kick?

Dude, it was so cool. Drake is such a good person. I know you have your own relationship with him, you and your guys. But man, it's crazy. You meet all these famous people, Kyle, and it's like, that guy is the most normal, most famous person you're ever going to meet. He's a genuine dude. He's a great guy. He's from your city. It's so cool how much of a good person he is. And that's where it's like, oh, I love this guy's music my entire life. But it's like, damn, not an actual friendship with this guy. And he's a normal dude.

It's like, whoa. And he fucks with you like crazy.

Yeah, bro. Him and I, we speak almost every day. It's like he's just a really good dude, and he cares a lot about his people, and he takes pride in what he does. And you got to respect that. I just got a lot of love for that guy.

Was that a dream stream for you?

Yeah, that was definitely up there for sure. Definitely. One of my dream streams was Kanye. It was going to happen for the fourth time. I've tried four times with Kanye. It was about to happen, and he blocked me recently, which really sucked because I really wanted that Kanye stream to happen, or should I say, Ye stream? But I really didn't want it to happen, but he blocked me.

Damn. Do you think it'll ever happen? No.

Why not? It could have happened four times. Usually, they say third time's the 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 of the four. I forgot. I think I'm forgetting one more. Then obviously, this time around, he's tweeting all this crazy shit. That's why I took... I was like, Oh, my God. This is a perfect time. Let me try to get Ye on stream.

It just sucks because I really- You got a lot of backlash for that, right? A little bit or no?

Yeah, but I didn't care.

He is going fucking crazy, right? What do you think? What the fuck do you think is going on with him? Do you think he just says shit for attention or no?

I thought that at first, but it's Kanye West. He doesn't need attention. He doesn't need money. I think he's genuinely going through it, and I think he needs to get help. And I think he needs to figure something out because it's sad, bro.

It's really, really sad. Because that's the thing. He'll say nine good things, and then he just says one fucked up thing that just ruins his entire credibility, which is It's annoying. It sucks. And it makes him hard to defend, right?

You can't defend him when he's tweeting out things about Diddy and F Virgil, and he's dropping Swastika merch. What could you... But again, that's what streaming is all about. Look at Tucker Carlson. He flew to Russia to go do Putin. I know in a heartbeat, you would do that, too. 100%. But that's the thing. That's where it comes with people like us.

It's like, bro- Just because you have someone on doesn't mean that you agree with everything they're doing. Exactly.

I know this This is going to sound crazy, but somebody's super, super controversial. Even if you like or hate him, for example, Jeffrey Daumer. Dude, if there was an opportunity to interview that guy, that's what I'm saying.

You got to. Right?

Yeah. So it's like, even the Luigi guy, I guarantee you would want to do a podcast.

We He had OJ Simpson.

That is crazy. You did. Yeah. You think he did it, right?

Yeah, he definitely did it.

That guy's a good...

He's a fucking charming guy, though. Yeah. Rest in peace, OJ. Rip. Yeah. He's a charming guy, but he definitely fucking did it.

But Kyle, that's what makes you separate. And I put myself in that group, too. And I've constant... I look up to you. Even the back of the day, I always told you and Steve and Jessie, always. Because you guys don't give a fuck. You don't care. That's the brand. You don't give a fuck. You're going to be you. You're going to do you. And that's it.

Which is dope because then when we fuck up, too. Even if you fuck up or we fuck up, people don't really give a fuck. If you have that clean ass image your whole life, you're constantly protecting that. It sucks. Then when you fuck up, people turn on you. It's the worst. For us, it's like we're just known as scumbags a little bit. We get away with it.

We get away with everything. Exactly. But that's the thing, the pitch perfect people that try to cancel people, 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. That's what I think is funny. You're right, though. It's like, we give that off already. Hey, look, we're human beings. We say crazy stuff. We do crazy things. But at the end of the day, we're human beings. We're relatable because we're not I know.

Even Kanye, I saw now him and Drake had beef, and now he's saying, Drake's music's fire. It's just like, what do you think of the new album?

I think it's good. I think it's fire, too. I really do. I think it's one of these albums you have to keep listening to. 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 was supposed to drop months ago, but it was worth it. 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 trying to put-I know. What's good with that? They're trying to put Kendrick's music in his playlist stuff and-I've seen that. Unchart him on certain things. It's just they're all pushing this. Look, Kendrick Lamar, he's back in the day, he has hits.

He has some tracks. Yes. But so does Meek Mill or Big Sean. Kendrick has some tracks. I don't know if I could name... I could name 10, but I don't know if I could name 20.

Can you name five songs off his new album? No. Exactly. That's my point, though. My point is his last album- Yeah, he has tracks, but it's like, Drake has so many tracks.

You fucking forget them all. You can't compete. Some of the singles, too, are like- You just went to his concert, right? Yeah, I went to his concert. I was in Australia.

When you're there, you're like, Wait.

He has so many tracks. So many. And some of them aren't even on albums. They're just like trophies or random shit like that. You can't even So many tracks, you can't even remember them.

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, they're trying their hardest to squeeze- And then the hidden message thing of the Super Bowl. It's like, Dude, okay, come on, bro. You know what I mean? There's just so much They were all waiting for this moment to get it.

But that was a big W for Drake, I think, the Super Bowl performance, right? Oh, for sure. Because if you compare past Super Bowl people, you have Beyoncé, Bruno Mars. It's like, Kendrick. It's like...

He made it all about Drake. Yeah, exactly. He could have performed Bitch, Don't Kill My Five, all of his classics, the ADHD stuff. He didn't do it. He obviously wanted to make it about him and whatever. In my opinion, it is what it is. In my opinion, I think Drake won that beef because the rap battle because it's like, obviously, Kendrick made the hit song, They're Not Like Us, but it's all lies. He said he had a daughter, which was debunked, and then the pedo- People forgot about that.

The daughter thing was crazy. Come on, bro.

It wasn't even real. But people don't bring that up.

It's crazy. That's what scares me, too, is because I guess when you get to that level and you're so big, people really do just want to see you fall.

That's how it is, bro.

They all had-They had it out for him. Nothing Kendrick said was ever proven. Nothing. Obviously, Drake's not fucking banging, banging underage girls.

He can get any girl he wants.

Yeah. But isn't that scare you, too? Or it's like, when you're that big, people really want to fucking come for you.

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 Weekend, all these guys on tour, gave them all a feature, French Montana, Meek Mill, all of them. He helped put him on. And it's like, you're doing him like this. It's all out of, I'm telling you, it's because it was all built up, obviously. We know this. He's been number one for so long. They just tried 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 can do it anywhere in the world. It doesn't matter. This guy just dropped an album. It's amazing. Let's be real. No respect to Kendrick, but he has classics. He has hits. He is a legend, technically. But his last album, before Gnx, Mr. Morrell, horrible. Drake survived Kendrick's career. 100%. Yeah, come on.

If the Drake one was big, who's What's the fucking crazy stream that you want to get that's out of this planet?

So I wanted Kanye. I really did. It was part of my list. But I guess I wanted to do a stream with probably Elon. Man, Kanye and Elon is my top two, bro. It'd be real, dude. Well, Drake was.

But, bro, I mean, yeah, man. 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?

I don't know why they don't. Have you been seeing Sneaker's blogs?

No. On X? Yeah.

He's been killing it, bro. He's been doing really good content on X. And he's only getting paid 50 bucks a month, but he's really trying his ass off, and he's doing really good content. But it sucks because, hopefully, I think Elon will try to find a way to make his X creators eat more. But once he does that, it could be game over for him for real.

100%.

Because I think X is a great platform, and X is what saved the election. Yeah, 100%. Freedom of speech is huge, bro. And Elon's got an army behind him.

It's crazy. Me and you have in common is we both got shouted out in the fucking presidential. Let me dab youVictory speech, bro.

Dude, so cool.

What was your reaction to that? I didn't even stay up at night because it was already over, so I went to bed. Then I wake up and I see fucking Dana gets on there. He says he's on there for a minute, and he shouts both of us out. So cool. Which is crazy. What was your reaction to that?

He shouted out you, me, Theovon, and Joe Rogan.

And Bustin' with the boys. That's right.

But 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 lowest of the benefit of the doubt. One person was influenced by you and one person was influenced by me.

Yours was fucking massive.

Yeah, I went crazy.

Yours was massive. That was all over mainstream media. I remember when you announced it because I get genuinely excited when you announced a big stream. I always know it's going to be fire. You know what I mean? So how did the Trump thing happen for you? Walk us through that.

So Barron and I, we talk. And So what do you communicate with Barron on? I don't want to speak. I don't want to leak it. But Barron is a really cool guy.

Guys are fucking stud. He's so cool. That guy's going to be a fucking problem, bro. What is he, like 6, 7? That guy's a fucking tree, bro.

Dude, he's charming. He's well-spoken. He's smart. Baron is, man, he's a good problem.

Guys probably hung like a fucking horse, too. He probably got everything, bro.

He's great, man. Shout out to Baron. I'll never forget. I went to Don't laugh, Gabe.

You've been fucking... Gabe, don't shut up about Baron, bro.

You like Baren, Gabe? I'll put the good word in. So what?

He hit you?

Well, no. I met him. It was actually the first time Baron's I went to one of his... He was doing one of his speeches. I think it was in Dural. I'm not sure where it was at, but Barron was there, and I got to talk to him for a little while. We met before. We met prior to that. But Baren was like... Because I was with Barron and President Trump, It 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. It's crazy. I got in touch with one of the head people on his team. You probably know who it is. You know Alex and Justin, all those guys. And they were just like, Cool, let's make it happen. And they made it happen. At first, I was like, this is not going to happen. It can't be real. I got a phone call to these guys. I kept following up. They're like, okay, Aiden, this is the date. It's locked in. I was 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 to do this.

And at first, they were trying to charge money, a A million dollars, two million. I'm like, come on, man. Trump, Trump, Trump.

Really? People are trying to charge you? Yes, bro.

They were trying to tax me. They're probably not legit. Because it's probably a Cardi situation. They're like, oh, it's another spot. I went through Bayron with the right people, and man, they were so nice. The Secret Service, the team, Trump team, they're so nice. They're 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. Nobody has ever done anything live with the President, I don't think. No, I don't think so. So I was the first to break the ice, and it was awesome.

That's the one thing I noticed about Trump, too. He really trusts certain people around him. It's cool how he trusts his son, and he's gassing him up. He knows his son's tapped in, and he just whatever his son says, he just listens to.

It's genius, dude. I mean, think, Aaron had something to do with this election. He was pointing fingers. This, this, this. Aaron helped out. Elon helped out. You helped out.

I helped out. Everyone- Dana, too. Oh, dude.

Dana, dude.

What people don't know, too, and I did a couple of interviews after, and I would always tell people, Dana has been plotting on this, bro, since the last election loss. I know. He's been helping Trump get the youth. Bro, he- You know what I mean? Even you, I remember the first time you guys met, too. I was telling Dana because he was looking for people for Power Slap, too. And I was like, Dude, you got to fucking meet Aiden for sure. This guy's the real deal. I appreciate that, Kyle. No, 100 %. Always been real. No, no, 100 %. But Dana fucks with you heavy, too. So he's just been plotting on this. Dana Dana is like... I love it. He was the guy that helped Trump with the youth, I think.

Oh, honestly, I agree. You know what I mean? Because I know for sure he would pit him and be like, Yo... Because Dana put the good word in for me. So I know for sure, obviously for you, too, it's like Dana has always had my back, your back. So whenever the team's hitting Dana about it or Trump hitting him about it direct, Dana's like, Oh, yeah. No, he's good. He's good. Run that. Run that. Dana is very smart, very, very, very smart, and very good at what he does. Shouts to UFC. I saw you do that thing with De Poria. You nailed it. That one-on-one was crazy.

Yeah, that was crazy.

Tepora is, man. He's He's crazy, bro.

He's a fucking beast, bro.

I don't think anyone could really box him.

That guy's got it all, too. He's a good fighter. His wife's a fucking... No disrespect. She's an absolute rocket. She's the best-looking wife in the UFC by far. No disrespect to De Poria. But yeah, no, that You guys are the real deal.

Dude, I don't think anyone... I know he wants to... We'll see, man. 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 he's going to fight next?

See, the thing with the UFC, in my opinion, is I think they don't want to... When they have two stars, you got Teporea and you got Islam, right? What business-wise for the UFC does it make sense for them to just kill one of those stars?

It doesn't make sense.

Because the only way they do that is when it was like, Volk versus Teporea, where Volk just cleaned out the division multiple times, where they're in a corner where they're like, We have to make this fight. But right now, I think Teporea has only had one title defense. If those two fight, one person is going to die. And And it's like, Tepore is such a big international star, how big he is overseas and in Spain. I think they want to just let them both grow. And then if they both clean it out, then they have to make the fight.

Then we give it to them. Well, it's another thing that's like Aspinal versus Jon Jones. It's like Jon at first I'm just saying, John want Alex's prayer, but it doesn't make sense because Alex is doing what you're saying. Exactly. He has to build up, build up, and Alex is fucking-They want to have a star in every division, right?

Of course.

They need it. They need to have that. But if John fights Aspinal this year, which I think it might happen.

I think it's going to go down, right?

Who do you I don't know, man.

I think it's going to be close. I would say I got to go for John Jones. You have to, man.

I like Aspinal a lot, though. Yeah.

That's a fight that we absolutely have to go to.

Dude, I know. I mean, if it's going to happen, I would assume it would happen at the Garden or something, because I know John fights at the Garden or in Vegas. 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 can ever say anything. He's done. Yeah. This is going to be his last fight for sure. But yeah, man, Aspidol could fight, too, though, man. He's crazy. But even with Islam, it's like, he's so good. Everyone's like, Oh, those Russians. And everyone's like, Oh, you got to be afraid. But look at Marab, he beat Umar, bro. And now it's like, Marab, that guy has the craziest- Mara is a beast, too.

He could probably fuck for six hours straight. I love Sugar Sean, too, but Marab is a really nice guy. Dude, I never met Mara. When I met him, he's a pretty funny guy. Yeah? Yeah, he's a funny guy.

Dude, that guy's stamina. He could probably fuck for six hours straight. 100%. No water, no Like, dude, what the fuck? I've never seen that.

He'd be scary in the bedroom, right?

Yeah, dude.

That guy banging your ex. That's not what you want to see here.

He would get tired, bro.

Rob fucks your ex. Fuck, man. I don't know if I'd be upset. I'd probably just feel like, all right, she wasn't the one, but...

But no, dude, he gets it down, bro. Man, he can do 100 jumping jacks and still keep... It's nuts. But that's why it's like, damn, I want to see Sean Amali fight.

He's going to make a comeback. It seems like he's dialed in. I think he's completely off social media.

His team's running. I spoke to him. Yeah.

Sugar is the man.

Sugar is great. But the UFC, man, I'm so awesome to see what they've done with everything. Do you think McGreg ever fights again or no?

I think so. I mean, he has too, right? He has one more fight left. I think he has an expensive lifestyle, too. And obviously, he has money. But when you're fucking ripping your boat and taking jets and doing all that, money starts to get drained, right? So he has two fights left with the UFC. Oh, it's two. Two fights left. And then after that, he has the freedom to do the big boxing events and all that. Yeah, the big stuff. You saw what they were trying to make the Logan-Conner fight, right? Yeah, I saw that. But the UFC is not going to let that happen.

What I want to know is, because I didn't really understand that time, how did McGregor and Mayweather get to fight? I guess the UFC got a part of it, right?

Because it makes sense. That's Mayweather. He's the biggest. That brought so many eyeballs to the UFC, right? God, yeah. That was worth it for that. At this point, it's not really worth it.

Not really worth it right now.

If he fights Logan Paul, is that going to make the UFC that much bigger? No. Not really, right?

Not really. No, it won't. But yeah, dude, it's nuts to think about how everything is all going. The future of fighting, Mike Tyson, even Jake is crazy to think about. Damn, I wonder who Jake is going to fight next.

I don't know. I guess he was supposed to fight Canelo, right? Canelo.

That would have been crazy.

Yeah. Jake's fucking killing it, too. He is.

He really is doing his thing.

Also, guys, really, really quick. We have brand new stuff on fullsend. Com. We have new hoodies, new T's, new sweats. I love these hoodies. I rock them all the time. We got matching sweatsuits. They're my My favorite things that just absolutely melt in. I wear them when I'm traveling all the time. We also have FullSend 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 FullSend shit. Let's get into the pod.

You and Dana Gamble a lot, too. Oh, dude. Yeah. What was your biggest firing night with Dana? Okay, so the first- Because you're a fucking animal in that Red Rock suite.

Dude, the first time I met Dana White, I'll never forget this. I was down at $800,000. All markers, they're on the table. Dana sits with me. He's like, How are 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 50K. We were there battling for five hours straight.

So he put his own... He saved. Yes.

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 Dana will tell you? He's like, Yo, you win two big hands? Get out, walk out, go do your thing. But for him, I never met this guy before. A day of my life, I'm coming in. I know Dana from UFC. I'm like, Oh, my God. And he just bails me out like that. I'm like, Oh, my God. I don't even know what to say or think right now. I'm just shaking of adrenaline and everything. That was the worst that I've had. But I've seen Dana, man, down 5 million one night in Baccarat. And I've seen him also up a lot in Baccarat, too. You know how gambling is, ups and downs, ups and downs. But, man, Man, I'm still forever grateful for Dana. He's helped me with so many things in my career with aligning people up with me and helping me meet people and connecting me. Just the first time we met, man, just bailing me out like that. He's such a good guy.

He's great. I see you're rocking the free Tori shirt. Are you keeping in touch with him at all?

Tori called me during my boxing event last. I wanted to say something about him during the Trump stream, but 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 Tori, I know he didn't do what everyone's accusing him doing. It's obvious. If it is, show the bullet hole. You know what I mean? At that point, show the bullet hole. You know he didn't shoot you in the foot, but he'll get freed. He's a Toronto legend. Toronto legend. Toronto legend. He's a great human being. Cracked the best freestyle of all time on my stream. He checks up on me when I'm not doing well. He's just a great dude, bro. 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.

It's crazy shit because I 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 there's four people's DNA on the gun, and his is not one of them, which is something that came out after the trial that they didn't allow it to be-They're going to redo the trial. They should based on that because if there's four people's DNA on the gun and his is not one of them, that's fucking crazy.

It is crazy. 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. 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. Look, bro, we'll see what happens.

That's what's crazy when you like... Because Tori has been like, I guess he went up against the system a little bit, right? That's one thing that scares me, man. If you go up against the wrong people in the system-Oh, dude, it's bad.

It's scary, right? It's bad. It just sucks, though, because I know for a fact, she didn't get hit in the foot, bro. I know she didn't. Hopefully, Tori is free to ASAP If you're not free, Tori.

Yeah, man, we got to get him home. We got to tell Donny T to look into it at the right time. That'd be great.

Yeah, the right time. Again, I couldn't do it at the time because it didn't make sense. But now he's in office, maybe he can look into things. I hope he gets freedom because I know he's innocent.

I want to talk to you about this GTA shit.

Oh, shit.

What's going to go on with that? And what are your plans with that? I know I've heard banks talk about how it's going to completely change everything with crypto and gaming Tell me a little bit about that.

I don't know how many of you guys are watching in this room are in crypto right now, but today is really bad. It's been really bad these past few days with Solana and-The Argentinian fucker, right? Oh, dude, I can't believe him. What a piece of shit. You guys are loser. I can't believe a president did that. I really can't. I really can't fathom it. That's crazy. I can't. But what I was planning on doing is when GTA VI does come out, I want to have an economy-based system where it's all ran off of a crypto coin. 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, pretty much majority of the supply. 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 up to you in-game and I kill you, you're losing everything. Damn. Yeah. We're going to make it very strict. We're to the combi-based server. It's going to be hard to get guns.

It's going to be hard to-How does that work? Is the coin going to be in the actual game?

It's going to basically be valued. 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. I don't know what chain is going to be the best at that point. We might do it on Ethereum chain. We might do it on Solana chain, Bitcoin chain, whatever. But we'll see because we still have a couple of years away from something crazy like that. I know GTA 6 is supposed to come out this year, but I think the PC version comes out in the year from the actual year. But we got some time, but crypto is just going to continue to get bigger. All the time in the world is great.

Damn, that's crazy. Yeah, there's been so much. I haven't dabbled too much in GTA, honestly. I was more of a cod guy, but how big is that game going to be? There's so much hype on it.

The game is going to be huge, bro. I wish I knew more about it. I know that it's going to be a lot of crypto stuff involved. I know there's going to be a lot of people that are dropping certain things in the game. For example, certain podcasts, exclusivity podcasts, exclusivity music with rappers and podcasters, etc. I know it's going to be crypto rent, a lot of it. I know crypto It's always 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. True. We're going to see, man. We're going to see. 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 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 you're in the city of Miami, and instead of 200 people, you could have a thousand people. 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 SSB world pretty well back a few years back. It's going to be exciting to see what it happens this time. That's crazy. Yeah.

I saw you might... Are you like Young Thug's fucking lean plug now?

You saw that, too? I was just trolling, bro. But he was just tweeting about the lean. I was just trolling. I kicked a couple long time ago, but man, if Thug wants some, obviously, you can't ever do it because he's on probation. But I'm glad he's free, though. Shit. At least he's free. I'll pour him up some Niquil.

Yeah, a little Niquil. A little Niquil, yeah. Was that the lowest point you've been at?

Lean? I would think so. In your life? When I was doing lean heavily, you just wake up every day at 8: 00 PM, you just sip lean all night, and then you go to sleep, and it's this repeat. It's an opioid. You're just sleeping, sleeping, sleeping, sleeping. The one thing I will The worst thing about it is it catches up to you. When I was withdrawing, it was really, really bad withdrawals, the worst. It last for one or two weeks of sweating and fever and throwing up and all and pooping.

Were you taking it just to sleep? Or what do you think made you-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, I'm a morning person now, and it's like I love waking up at 9: 00 in the morning, 8: 00 in the morning. It's great. You're still so accomplished. You hit the gym, you eat some food. You're just up for the whole day. I go to bed at 12: 00 or 1: 00. It's so nice, bro. You wake right up. When you're on lean, you have these crackhead hours and stuff. I bet, yeah. Drugs in general, I think when you rely on anything, it completely brings you back. You just backpedal yourself. I think just having nothing to rely on is the best. Just rely on your health and rely on yourself, and you don't need any substance or anything else to rely on.

Was there a moment when you switched from that to gym life and shit? Yeah.

When I was doing... Let me try to break this down for you. When I was sipping a certain amount and not getting high anymore because my tolerance was so high, I was like, Okay, I got to stop. But I cold turkey stop. You're not really supposed to cold turkey stop on hardcore shit. Even if you drink alcohol, let's say, every day for two years and you stop, you're going to have issues. You got to do it the right way.

You got to cut off it. The first 30 days is probably the hardest.

Yeah, bro. They say get IVs, you got to take medication. Certain things just help yourself get off it. I tapped them with the right people and I got off that shit, luckily. It was great. There's people that are still on it, and I've asked them, can you get off? They're like, Fuck, no, I can't. I'll die. It's true. Luckily, and again, Lena is still so bad for you, but luckily, it wasn't anything more hardcore. I heard Xanax is crazy. Yeah, dude. Everything nowadays is laced with fentanyl. You got to be really careful, bro. We have a really, really bad It's a drug problem.

So what? The gym helped you turn shit around? Yeah. That's something that helped me for sure. I think a lot of people that have, whether it's alcohol or whatever you're addicted to, you do got to replace it with something. And I try to tell people, too, Bro, the The gym just fucking saves you, bro. If you wake up in the morning and you hit a nice workout, get your fucking heart rate going, that in its own is a drug. I'm addicted to the gym for my own mental health. If I don't work out, if I'm traveling or something, and sometimes I don't work out for three days, I start to fucking... I just feel like a slug.

Let me ask you a question. I know you're in the gym. Do you also fast and stuff? Do you do any fasting? I don't fast, no. How's your diet, though?

When I'm here, I'll just eat eggs for breakfast and then just rice and protein, rice and protein. That's it. And two shakes a day. Got it.

So you're getting probably like 120 grams.

Probably like 180 grams of protein. 180? Yeah. Really? I keep the protein high. Damn.

Yeah. Now, right now, because bro, I had a moment where I was like, I'll go through these little phases where I'm eating. I love going out to eat. I love dinners. So I'll go out to dinner, but it sucks.

Dinners is hard. Dude, it fucks me up. When they bring the bread to the table and shit, too. Yes, bro. That's what fucks you.

Kyle, if you stop going to the gym for two weeks, I get fat again. It sucks, bro. Fuck.

It's all diet.

Dude, 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 with your with your results from the gym, you can go out and eat once or once a week or twice a week. As long as you're training, you're good. But the thing is, for me, I'll go on an eating binge and I'll travel. You know how it is when you travel, bro. Traveling is tough. Dude, it's hard to work out when you're traveling. It's really tough. I'll travel. They are here. It's been three weeks, and damn, I already gained 10 pounds. Like that. But now it's like, if I'm going to eat, make sure I sweat more, I'll go in the sauna. I don't know, man. It's all about balancing, but we're humans. We should be able to have fun and go eat. Yeah, 100%. But diet is number one for sure.

Who are the biggest streamers right now?

Right now is... I'll give you five that I see everywhere. You got speed, Ky. I would say Max is doing his thing, Black by Max is doing his thing.

He's popping off, right?

He's popping off. You know what I'm going to put there? Even though people are going to be 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 going to put Neon there, and I'm going to put Silky there, too. Silky has been doing his thing, and I'm happy to see what he's doing.

You popped off. Did you help manage Neon?

I guided him in a way for a few months here and there. He's been 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. He's growing and matured as a person. He's doing great.

Why did you guys butt heads at the time? Was that when he was going crazy?

Crazy on people and saying crazy things. He's relaxed now. He's calmed down.

He was always funny, though, to me. Yeah. He triggers certain people, obviously, in the comments, everyone hates him and shit, but I always found him jokes. Yeah, bro.

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 were 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. I think anybody that's doing their thing and they're taking pride in it, they're doing the thing, it's great to see. I love when people try and do what they love to do. That's great.

It's really nice. How do you navigate that, who you keep around you and stuff like that?

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. Right now, in my life, I've just been laying low, worrying about this Twitch stuff.

Which is smart.

Yeah, man. I'm just connecting. I went on a couple of family trips with my parents. I haven't been doing... I don't ever do that. Me and my dad, we've been hanging out a lot. Just getting close to my family. That's good. It's great right now for me.

What do your parents think about everything and how far you've come? Oh, man. Were they always supportive or no?

For the most part, they always were. They've always believed in me. They always gave me a leap of faith, always. It's just great, man. It's great being able to tell your parents you don't have to work anymore. It's great to look them in the eyes and be like, I got us. I got this family now. But yeah, they're blown away by everything. They still don't believe it. Parents, they're like, Oh, honey, I don't want to spend this and that. But I'm like, Come on, you can. But they're We're definitely getting more used to it, which is great.

How about friends behind the scene? Is it tough sometimes to keep certain people around? Yeah, it's something I struggle with, too.

Dude, it sucks, bro.

It's tough, right?

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, I really fuck 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. I've been through a lot of people in and out. Sometimes you just got to cut people off that, unfortunately, don't fit your life anymore. And you evolve as a person, human being. It's life, bro. It's all part of life. You're going to outgrow a lot of people, but you learn that.

I think that's one thing. I've heard you say it, too. It's smart, too. I think 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 this social media game is such a marathon. It's a mental marathon, right? I've heard you say mental health is just so important. 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 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. If you look 10 years from now, is anyone going to be like, Oh, yeah, Aiden took two months off. They're not, right? No, I agree with that. One thing I never stress about, too, is trying to like, when you need a break, you need a break.

Yeah, people won't forget. I mean, look, people like us, you're solidified. Exactly. I can come back in any moment to do this and that and this and that. It's like, I know I can do that. 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 happy as I've ever been, I'm going to keep rolling the dice with that. Lying low is great and all these things, but I'm just waiting. It's a waiting period right now for me, but I'll always be back and always give people what they want to see. This year with events and stuff, I'm really looking forward to that. But yeah, man, I agree with what you're saying. In 10 years from now, when people look back, it's like, Oh, it took a two-month, three-month, four-month break.

No one gives a shit in the long term. What's your ultimate goal?

I think about that a lot.

How old are you now? 24. 24. 24.

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. 19. I think so, yeah.

That's crazy. Popping off at 19.

Crazy, man. Yeah. I It's nuts. But my goal is now, I have the financial goal already set. So now it's more just building stuff out and helping people and giving people opportunity. That's the best thing 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 want to... Sorry, give them the opportunity the best way you could possibly do it. I think that's the goals I have right now, helping people out and help them bring them to their goals and help them accomplish what they want to do success-wise.

You think you'll ever stop streaming at a certain age? Oh, definitely.

I'll pop in and out. I'll always be in and out, though. But look, man.

What do you think? What age?

I don't know. I just think streaming nowadays, it's changed. It's changed for the better, which is great, but it's very saturated, very, very saturated. I think nowadays, what I can say is I just love to help people, and I love my real life so much. I don't ever see myself being the everyday consistent streamer ever again. But I do think I eventually would want to do a subathon, maybe, because everyone's done one, but we'll see.

When was the last time you've done something like that?

A long time ago.

People ask us, Why don't you get into streaming? 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. No, you got to every day. For a beginner streamer, tell them, How much do you need to stream?

Oh, man. Every day? Every day?

For how long?

Oh, man, I would say at least four hours, five hours. I mean, bro, you have to it when you're coming up. It's very, very important you do that. I think Max is going live 365 days in a row. Holy shit. 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. 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. It's still so new to him, so it's like he's still going to figure stuff out. It's cool to watch his journey. It's I love to watch people like that that have goals and they fall through with their goals and stuff. It's great. I remember Max comes out with me a year ago. He's like, Hey, I want to do kick. I want to do kick. I really want to do kick and do this and that and this and that. He's doing everything basically what he told me a year ago. I want to do this.

I already know what I want to do. I'm going to blow up. Max knew it. 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. Now, he's doing his thing. You could only be happy for somebody like that. It's great to see. It's fun to watch.

Are you ever amazed at how viral some of your shit goes? When you ask Islam, the Wi-Fi thing, Is there a little bit of you that's like, This is going to snap if I ask that? Or are you being dead ass?

I was serious. I don't know. I thought they shut it off, but then I was like, Oh, that's North Korea. I don't think they have Wi-Fi there. In Russia? No, North Korea.

They probably have Wi-Fi. Kim Jong Un has got strong Wi-Fi. Yeah, it probably does. That's my dream guess is Kim Jong Un. See?

But it's like, Kyle, that's like 90 something % of people with platforms wouldn't even take that.

Because you know he's fucking living over there.

Oh, yeah, bro. He's probably a crazy individual.

I know Rodman went there and their snowmobiling. It's crazy. They probably got some tricks behind the scenes there. Kim Jong Un is living the life.

Yeah, he got them for sure, ready to go. But no, I mean, yeah, that's what are your top three guests. I mean, you've gotten everyone, bro.

I always find the world leaders crazy. Yeah. Because it's like, how the fuck are we... When we get Trump or Elon or someone like that, it's like, how are they getting that person? I think us getting world leaders is crazy. Yeah, Putin would be crazy.

You got to do the Argentina guy, too.

Yeah. Right now. The Argentina guy.

He will never do a podcast. No, he's great. Right now, especially. His team is like, No, you cannot do that.

How about speed and Kai's come up. You used to live with speed, right?

I lived with speed for a long time.

Are you amazed at how big he's gotten?

Yeah, dude. Man, that guy is so worldwide famous. I think he's the most famous influencer- He is. Right now. I think he might be one of the most famous people alive.

100%.

It's like when you look at somebody like that, it's like, damn, this guy is changing the game always, not even with just streaming with everything. People always ask, Aiden, what do you think? Years ago and stuff, what do you think about Speed's career and all this stuff? I'm always like, dude, it's going to keep getting bigger, bro. Wait till this guy does a real sit down with Ronaldo. Wait till this guy does this. Wait till this guy does that. Dude, he's going to keep shooting for the stars. He's going to get even bigger and bigger and bigger. It's so awesome seeing him do what he loves to do and accomplish what he's accomplishing. It's really great.

How about Ky? Oh, yeah. That guy's just a superstar as well.

Ky is just doing the best shit, too. You got to look at and see how Ky came up. He was doing Facebook, acting on these little Facebook things. Really? Yeah. Then I have a DM from him, and he's like, Yo, bro, I want to get in to stream, blah, blah, blah. Then the E-dates. Then after the E-dates, then he started doing stuff. Then now it's like, boom. He just took off. But Kai has always had an itch for this stuff. Even on his Facebook stuff, he would do years ago. I feel like Kai has always known he's going to be where he's at. That's just a superpower. He's always known where he's going to be. I think he predicted and manifested himself. It's cool seeing that. It really is. It's awesome. It's awesome to see what they've both done for the space. It's great.

Streaming just blows my mind. You think it's going to be here to stay for- It's saturated.

Do I think it's going to 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 and mainstream media. But you're going to have to keep evolving with it if you want to keep making it. And I think, like I said, I think well-produced TV-like content because livestreaming 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.

All right. Well, Aiden Ross, one of the most influential people on the fucking Internet. This guy is just here to I'm going to say, solidified in the game. I love having you on every once in a while. We got to do this. Anytime you're down, I'm down to just sit down and catch up, pick your brain because- Every time. Yeah. I know you say you grew up watching me, but I've been watching your shit now all the time, too, which is just fucking cool to see you're hilarious. Thank you, brother.

Kyle, again, bro, the one-on-ones. I love this for you. It's just a little era, arc for you. Yeah. Make sure you guys like, subscribe.

Like, subscribe, comment.

Bye, Happy Dad, always.

Yes, sir. Ana Ross, baby. Appreciate you.

Let's go..
