Thomas GolianopoulosGUEST
Yeah, j- but to know that, like, um, it's, it's more about, like, help bringing people up and helping other people.
Thomas GolianopoulosGUEST
Like, the thing that, um, the story that kind of, like, shocked me when I, when someone told me it was when I interviewed Ryan Coogler for the book and he told me about running into Singleton, like, when he was at SC and he just ran into him at, like, a 24 Hour Fitness or something, and they exchanged, and Coogler was like, "Yo, man, I'm at, I'm going to USC." You know? And, uh, Singleton, they exchanged numbers and, like, throughout his time there they, he would, like, text him for, you know, advice.
Thomas GolianopoulosGUEST
And he even said, like, he brought up one of his old texts and he was, like, reading it to me, like the last thing that Singleton texted him, like, in, like, 2019.

CarlosHOST

When I was homeless, I would go into, like, little bathrooms from, like, 24 Hour Fitness or whatever, use the bathroom acoustics.

I had just finished playing in Germany late 2008.

And I had my little $100 camera with me at the time.
Dre BaldwinGUEST
This is before we had video cameras on our phones.
Dre BaldwinGUEST
And I was finishing up a workout at 4:00 in the morning at this 24 Hour Fitness, and I just had something on my mind.
Dre BaldwinGUEST
But I always kept the camera just in case I came up with an idea.
