I just put together 35 minutes into this interview that this the dude that owns Awful Lot of Cough Syrup, use to live on broadway down the street from a store. Mad love bro. Great interview!

Adam and Dubb both came a super long way remembering when Adam would vlog the behind the scenes of the lil pump shows which motivates me because seeing you guys come from something small to something big such a beautiful thing to see many blessing for you both of you guys !!!!!!

10 years ago I was homeless with about $20 living in the UK. I am now living in a gated and guarded community in south east Asia with swimming pools and private gyms. I did it by setting up an online education company. Not gangster at all but the g’s I knew in the past are broke while I’m buying gold bars. Work hard and never give up.

this is a wild informative conversation, im glad they didnt have it in private. I learned a lot today, thanks Dubb

Man I always respected dubb but being in college for advertising and marketing and seeing this interview my respect for dude is even higher. Dude hella down to earth and smart man.
