[00:14:51]It's easier to live. Atlanta and Houston are the two black Meccas of of the United States right now. Ain't nobody checking for New York like that.

[00:14:58]I'mma say I'mma say it again. The reason why they go down there to the spots is because of slow pace, right? And it's cheaper. Absolutely. Yo, I KNOW SOME OF THESE DUDES from New York that moved down there to the Atlanta and it's hustling them boys.

[00:15:10]>> [laughter] >> IT'S SLOW PACE. IF YOU THE THE THE SAYING GOES, if you can make it up there, you can make it anywhere. Right?
