Yo yo yo yo yo, it was good y'all. You already know the deal. Another yang banging episode of the world famous.

The award winning behind the baller podcast brought to you an 8K high-dote finish and sound. You already know this is a dust brothers production. It's my man Miles Davis, my man Jordan Winter. This is a fully independent show. I don't know how much longer we're gonna have this show as an independent show, but yo I am your host Ben baller not Ben Humble. Of course you already know. For us gonna be hip hop. The Korean John Qsack, the Korean Liam Neeson. Oh, they sue Miss

the bad back. Yo guys, it is a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful day in Tulum. I'm here for our 10 year anniversary. Tomorrow marks 10 years that I've been married to Nicolette. Crazy milestone. We've been together for just over 12 years. And it is just been for the most part a very, very amazing blissful day.

The last decade has been fucking incredible. It is without a doubt. Not even any question. The best part of my life and the crazy part is I'm still going. It's wild y'all. I think about this. And the funny thing is I'm actually in my house recording this by the time you guys listen to this I'll be into loom.

And I just think about you know the other night I had this talk of all things about Donda. And I jumped on a Donda Twitter spaces with someone from genius, which is obviously a huge music site. Someone from Time magazine also writes for a couple other really, really big magazines.

And other music people and I talked about the old school days when I was in the music business. And I was out just living wild. Sort of single, sort of dating, whatever kind of maybe I had a girlfriend. I don't know. Not really actually. And just had a different life.

And do I miss that life? Not at all whatsoever. It was very lonely and empty. And even if I had a different girl every night or every other night, whatever it was just a different thing. You know, you know, 12 years later, 10 years married, three children.

Greatest gift I could ever have my entire life like when London was born, I cried my eyes out like when writer was born, I cried. When Kyle was born, I cried like it was a different level, you know, I'd like to thank my wife.

For literally saving my life. Some people say you got to love yourself. You got to do this. Yeah, yeah, shut the fuck up.

Nobody's more fucking independent than me. In fact, my wife sent me a DM the other day about a disorder, like a mental disorder, like it's like this thing where you become so independent that it fucks with you.

And every single symptom or, you know, part of the whole description was all me. But yes, Nicolette saved my life. Because I couldn't know God knows what fucking I'd be doing, just doing stupid shit, whatever, there's stability.

There was just so much, even though I must drive her absolutely fucking nuts. And I know I have driven her crazy. I just want to say thank you, Nicolette, so much for putting up with all the bullshit. And we have 10, 20, 30 more years left of marriage.

I was crazy. You know, Nicolette's parents have been married for 40 years. Just fucking nuts, right? So it's just pretty crazy.

I got a very, very, very special episode today. We're gonna get right into it. Fuck the dumb shit. I have my man, Josh D, who has done everything was a fucking, you know, nightclub, he did hosting, he did, he booked talent, he bought shows, he was doing production, he's worked in everything you could do in Vegas nightlife.

He knows so much about different cities in the music business, he was represented DJs and own nightclub and Simon Cisco and just has all the stuff. But now he has a big mental health nonprofit organization called when the music stops.

And I'm really hyped to talk about this because I think it's something that's fitting. And we're gonna get right into it. This is an amazing thing. And I really think not having social media, not having Instagram for over a month.

It really put my head in a different place. So, you know, I'm just glad I'm gonna get to enjoy this. I feel different. I'm not gonna lie to you today. You know, I woke up feeling crazy good yesterday. I felt good.

And, you know, it's just a weird thing. And, you know, most people should think you should feel good. You know, you have money, whatever you have people will love you. It's deeper than that.

You know, I finally felt satisfied yesterday. It's just weird. It was just a good thing. Mentally, I'm in a good place. You know, just I'm always in a weird thing. You know, like I had this weird anxiety before I get on a plane. And I fly so much.

But I'm excited. You know, and I'm not looking forward to a fucking two hour drive. You know, it's two hours from when you land in fucking cancun. It's two hours to fucking get to Tulum.

And, you know, it's very boho, not my style. You know, I'm saying like, but I need fucking electricity. You know, I'm not with that. All that fucking candles and all this other shit. I'm good though. We're good.

Obviously, you guys will see on the Instagram stories. But I want to get into this interview with Josh D. And when the music stops because my man really man.
