382. - Smiley

All right, this episode of How Long Gone is brought to you by Stateside with Kai and Carter, a new podcast from The Guardian. And they are using this podcast to slow down the news and wrestle with the questions that we all have about what's happening in the world. And they do it three times a week, Jason. Does that sound familiar to you? We don't really talk about, you know, a lot of international global news items and climates and cultures and sports and things like that. We do talk about fashion and wellness, but for everything else, Kai and Carter are a great place. All right, so who couldn't use more news? Listen wherever you get your podcast. or watch on YouTube. Live from Los Angeles, California, Jason, I'm feeling a little sore in some interesting areas. Yeah, I saw on Twitter you engaged with... Aleve, back, and muscle pain? Is it something that is not targeted by the Aleve family? No, I think that unfortunately there are times where I'm not dosing the Aleve muscle and back. So there are kind of lulls in my day where I am still going to feel some pain. Okay. You're talking about like withdrawals, jonesing, things like that? No, no, no. I'm not itching my arms or anything. I just mean that there's only so much you can take or it will destroy your liver. And I feel like I've already kind of gone down that path. Okay. So I kind of want to, you know what I mean? I only want to take eight, 12 a day. Can't go over that. Yeah. That's kind of like these gummies that I take for my biotin. If you take more than two a day, I think it's kind of like instant ER. Yeah, I don't really want to see. I've been keeping an eye on it. I'm glad that you're taking the biotin because I don't want to, you know, your toenails are looking a little weak. So it's nice to see those guys kind of filling out. Yeah, good hair and nails. It's actually, it comes from the inside, not the outside, believe it or not. I've heard that. But I got dragged to a... pilates class this morning on the reformer when you say you got dragged let's break that down a little bit more how much were you kicking and screaming i wasn't kicking and screaming that much of course i happily paid the 45 dollars and you know just kind of mounted mounted my cadillac uh like a fucking man don't put a dollar amount on this with my little grippy socks on but i was i was a little disappointed in in the crowd you know what i mean it's like a west hollywood

uh expensive pilates class and it was just like it was just mid it was mid chicks with vocal fry you know it was like it was it honestly in the lobby i was like the amount of aloe and vocal fry could kill someone in this in this life this feels illegal the amount of well what you say because i think it's like a it's a set and setting kind of thing because i mean i use twitter because um because of kind of mid chicks with vocal fry that's sort of what it's where i go to find these people that get me hard but i don't want to see them at the gym i don't want to see them in the physical physical world i want to see Just a brain-dead motherfucker, you know what I mean? My major takeaway was that as much as I love that subset of person in a humorous way, I think maybe 7.30 a.m. is too early to interact with them, IRL. I wouldn't say it was interaction. Much like this podcast, it was a one-way conversation. You know what I mean? It was a parasocial relationship. They were talking about... oh my God, I love Soho, but it's like so far from work. And just talking about their time in Manhattan. So Soho, New York, not Soho House, because you're in LA right now, right? No, that's right. Yeah, that's right. And I don't mean to get you confused like that, because I know you're kind of an all-house guy. No, just more of like, I'm just looking out for our listeners, because I know that they know kind of how global you are, and at any kind of drop of a hat, you could be a different time zone so it's quite possible that you were talking about soho house or something you know how um well i i you you alerted uh the group chat this morning that you did sleep till 5 a.m yeah man i'm back baby i want to get into that so you're back on your you were on your um You were on your demon time accidental, but now you're just on your CEO. You're back to regular CEO swag. Yes, yes. I CEO'd too hard, and I fucked around and woke up before midnight, and that kind of does have a negative effect.

The only real difference is obviously time and... Midnight LA. I don't think any markets are open, unfortunately. I know, right? It's really going to... It turned into a what's the point of being awake situation. Not in a, you know, suicide-y kind of way. No, of course. But, no, no, I feel good. Like, my brother, he was listening to the last episode, and he was like, dude, you sound exhausted. You sound like shit on this intro right now. I'm like, first of all, thanks. Second of all, we're just trying. But also, that's the kind of stuff where only a brother or a sibling or a family member could just be like, bro, you sound like shit. Only the closest to you. I mean, I was jolted awake this morning by the New York Times profile of Caitlin Phillips. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. She went ahead and pitched her own to himself and got a story. Let's tie it. kind of a subset of, of people that we unfortunately, I think identify with Jason. Okay. Um, but, but she did not include us in this client list. We're referred to as steady stream of podcasters, uh, by the writer. And that's fine. And then I pointed that out. And then in front of the show, uh, Walt said, damn it, Chris, you can't win them all. Sorry. They didn't mention your name. You know, which is. Funny, but I also want to point out that I'm not mad about my name not being mentioned. I'm mad about being lumped in as a steady stream of podcasters when I think we kind of stand alone in our category. And also, you, I'm sure, have worked with her in a capacity outside of this podcast as well. Yeah, but I mean, she's not saying steady stream of podcasters. That's the poetic license of the... the writer over there at the failing New York Times. Writer and air quotes. Writer and air quotes. I'm not going to sick our how long gone legal team on anyone right now. But I just wanted to point that out to the reader. But you should go read the profile. Bright Lights, Big City, Niche, Fame. What a fucking title. What a fucking title. But Caitlin truly is a godsend and a friend of the show and has helped us out quite a lot. So I'm happy to see her in a Balenciaga hooded sweatshirt in the New York Times. That's, you know, some things can happen. But are you, you know, speaking of what Walt said, are you doing okay not being mentioned? Oh, yeah, yeah. Things are fine? I'm okay. I don't hold court at Lucien.

I mean, that's not my world. I'm good on that. You know what I mean? If I'm going to pay $50 for salmon that's not good, I'm going to go right down to the Sunset Tower like a real man. Okay? That's what I'm going to do. You know where you can find me, Jason. Well, what do you think about DimeScore becoming validated and forever embalmed on Google Maps? I mean, I think that's the beginning of the end, obviously. But I also think that... The only cool neighborhood in New York is Soho. So I don't know why we're trying to do this because I think that anything turns into this. This is the exact same story that happens time after time. A neighborhood is cool. It becomes quote-unquote gentrified or at least a Marriott property opens. And then a number of years later, it just comes back around and it's all good again. And that's just what's going to happen. The Dime Square thing is going to be cool for another couple more years. Then it's going to be full bridge and tunnel. Then they're going to open a fucking pod hotel. Not a podcast hotel like Nine Orchard. You're talking about a pod? Yeah. Physical pod. And then in 15 years, it'll just be cool again. Someone will open a great restaurant and a gay bar, and we'll be back to square one. The rage that it gets from people is funny to me. The fact that it was named after a restaurant is pretty cool. I wonder how the dimes proprietors feel. I'm sure they hate it, but also love it. That's pretty crazy. If you're on Google Maps, there really is kind of like making it, you know what I mean? In the annals of history. And I guess as fucked out as that name is nowadays, it is a very clever punny name for that neighborhood. And when I first heard it, I was like, oh, that is clever. I'm sure at some point, the older generation, when they first heard about Nolita or Dumbo or any of the other weird kind of nickname-y neighborhoods, you're just like, what in the world? I mean, Dumbo stands for something down under the Manhattan Bridge overpass. Yeah, a lot of them stand for something. I know that's what I'm saying. They usually stand for something. Got it. That's what I like about dimes. It stands for hot chicks, which is something that meant.

Something that Lower Manhattan is truly built on. Those are the shoulders that we all stand on. And I think that the respect being paid to that subset of people is more important than Droga 5 getting hired to create a name for the neighborhood. Don't come from my friends and family over at Droga 5. Love you guys. Jason, we do have a guest today. And I don't know about you. I'm pretty excited about this one. You may be familiar with his classic album by... B-U-Y or by B-Y-E-2. Speaking of clever names. Speaking of clever, he's also, you know his songs with Drake, Over the Top is a classic, but we're going to talk to Toronto's own Smiley, one of the greatest guys on the internet right now. He has a captivating delivery and voice. He's also, from what I understand, he's recently relocated to the Los Angeles area. Oh, really? That's right. So I think this could be kind of the beginning of a beautiful friendship because I'm also in my deep research on Rap Genius. It says that he's been on a real fitness wave. He went vegetarian, and he's taking it very seriously. No wonder he agreed to do this podcast. That's right. So, I mean, I know he's probably talked to some lower-level outlets about his kind of workout regimen and how he's eating, et cetera. But I want to understand what it's like to really get out of the trap and underneath the trap bar. You know what I mean? And I think that's something that – How long were you sitting on that one for, Chief? I wasn't. That just came straight off the dome, bro. Really? That's right, Jason. That's right. The blood is flowing this morning. You writing it down, working out bits ahead of time is less believable than it being improvised off the dome. So, yeah, that is a good point. I write stuff down sometimes, but I just don't share it with you. I don't think that's really – kind of where our relationship is. Smart. Yeah, exactly. So we're going to...

Get into it, Smiley. See how many plates he's got. Can he bench more than Drake? Does he need a good Korean recommendation? Exactly. How close are you from M Cafe? Can I buy you a veggie burger? Those are the questions. Can I buy you a veggie burger? Just pick that brain of yours, Smiley. I just need to pick that brain because my breath control isn't great for the live shows, and I'm kind of trying to work on that a little more. And you sound cunty normally, Chris, but... Smiley, his delivery is on a different level of country, and I think you could learn a few things. So let's give him a Zoom. I'm always ready to learn, Jason. Oh, this is huge for me personally.

This episode of How Long Gone is brought to you by a new podcast from The Guardian stateside with Kai and Carter. This is covering a lot of our bases, Jason. It's trying to slow down. The news and wrestle with the questions we all have about what's happening in the world. And I know you particularly have quite a lot of questions. A lot of questions. But how often? Because we do this podcast three times a week and that's a sweet spot. How many times do they do? Three times a week. And I have a feeling just based on the platform and these talking points that they're maybe going to be covering different stuff than we do. That's just a guess. The Guardian is not some billionaire owned. They're not afraid to say what they want to say, brother. Yeah, Rupert ain't sniffing around in what journalists Kai Wright and Carter Sherman are up to over there at Stateside. But yeah, listen wherever you get your podcasts. You can watch it on YouTube. It's three times a week. And who couldn't use more news? Especially when it's not from here, let's say. Give it a listen. Give it a listen. You got headphones on?

Let me actually go get my headphones right now. Is this video? We just turn on video because we like to see, but it's not for use. I look like a piece of shit right now. Yeah, don't worry. You don't have to show hole on camera, bro. Wait, let me go get my headphones. Sorry for making you guys wait. I'm sure you just woke up. It's all good. Yeah, I'm going to go get my headphones. Okay, all right. You're like, yeah, I'm sure you just woke up. And he's like, yes. Hey, man, it's all good. He's been in the lab all night. And I've been, you know, watching HBO until 930. All right, Jeff. All right, so Smiley ready? I'm ready, sir. Smiley, so what is the... Okay, so we put on a hat. I just wanted to be clear. And you've got the good... Yeah, I know. You've got the good headphones. You've got the podcaster joints. You're a pro. I'm a fucking YouTuber. I didn't... Now, I heard somewhere that you've relocated to L.A. Is that true? Yeah, right now, yeah, I'm in L.A. As I know. What neighborhood? You don't have to get full, but general area. Oh, Chris, you can't ask that question. No, no, no. That's fine. I'm in North Hollywood. North Hollywood. Okay. All right. So what led you to the motherland? Because Jason and I are also both in L.A. So what led you to the motherland? So obviously, just because we're from Canada and stuff, we want to move to America. At first, I never wanted to. Like, I used to tell, like, my team and stuff, like, oh, we could make it from Canada. Fuck this. I want to stay here. I don't want to go nowhere. Fuck that. And then, like, you know, I got a little glimpse of the LA life and, like, the network and how important it is. And then it was kind of a lot of back and forth. But now I found the more permanent spots. So now, yeah, I live here. But I still go back and forth just because, like.

My daughter's back home in Toronto, so she comes and sees me here sometimes. But she's about to start school again, too. So I do a little bit of back and forth, but I'm mostly here. I would love to see you in the Etopico drop-off line at school. You know what I mean? Yeah, I'm going back for first day, too. And it's around rolling loud time, so it just works out. Are they doing rolling loud Toronto? Yeah, yeah. It starts September 9th. Oh, I guess I didn't. And you're performing, or are you just going to build? Yeah, yeah. No, no, I'm performing. I'm on the first day. Have you ever done Rolling Loud before? Yeah, I just did Rolling Loud in Miami. How scary is it? Because it looks pretty scary. Oh, yeah, it's like, you know, it is. So, like, I did a Lyrical Lemonade in Chicago, and I feel like... that was a pretty big crowd too so i don't mean scary when i say scary i don't mean it was a lot of people in the crowd i mean like for like you're gonna get stabbed kind of scary you know oh oh um so for like miami like i feel like i have no problems over there so okay i don't feel like yeah me neither that's that's why i feel safe That's why I feel safe in Miami. Knock on wood, knock on wood. Yeah, knock on wood. You're good in Key Biscayne. Was that the biggest, was Rolling Loud Miami, was that the biggest crowd you'd played for? No, I would probably say Lyrical Lemonade or OVO Fest just now. I don't know which one probably had more. Oh, yeah. Okay, okay. Because even for this one, I wasn't on the main stage. But for real and not Toronto, I'm on the main stage. As it should be. As a hometown hero deserves that book, of course. Don't ever put me on no bullshit stage. That's what your booking agent says, I'm sure. Do not put Smiley on any bullshit stages. Well, like, after I did the OVO Plus, like, the smell, like, I feel way more comfortable at any stage. Now I just have way more fun with it. It's like, you know when you go to amusement parks? Yeah.

You know when you go on Drop Zone, then you could do anything else after. You don't give a fuck. You did the scariest ride. Okay, so you're comparing your live music performances to visiting an amusement park. You're saying you go on the scariest ride first, and then it's going to be easy from then on. Yeah, then anything else you do is just like, fuck, I already did the scariest shit, so now you could. Okay. So that's how I kind of feel now when I perform. Like, just now, I had a show in Vancouver, and I feel like it was probably one of my best performances. one because i actually really rehearsed a lot i almost fucking lost my voice that's how much one because it's the first time i ever rehearsed for a show and that made a big difference no no so like i i've rehearsed no so like i've rehearsed before obviously but like this time I actually sat down with my engineer, went through a whole DJ set list. I did a little few tweak-ins with it, edits. I added so much things. I put a lot of time into it. I was just rehearsing a lot, a lot, a lot, working out. It was probably one of my most best performances. We love that. Vancouver doesn't seem particularly lit to me, but maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'm not getting the smiley treatment. I was playing with the fuck. I was there. They're like, don't go together. I'm there talking. I'm just there confident on stage. I'm like, holy fuck. So what's your setup now? Is it you and a DJ? What do we got going? Right now, I love my engineer. He's staying here. I have the studio set up in my room. It's like I'd be recording all day, but he's in a relationship right now, so his girl wants him back home soon. That's bullshit. That's bullshit. You got to make him choose, bro. You make him choose. He just wants to leave for probably a little week. I'm going to let you go for a little week, but then you got to come back and get to work. You better come back with a fucking hit, too, this time. So how are you adjusting to life in the valley, like North Hollywood?

It's like it's close to everything, but it's also you can kind of duck back and just like be in suburbia, which is that comfortable coming from Canada? Very comfortable. And I feel like I'm just I feel like this is my home now. Like I feel like everywhere I go now, like someone knows me. I have a lot of friends out here too right now. So it's just like I just feel super comfortable, super motivated here. Like I do the hikes, everything. I start my day, go to the gym. And I'm just like, even at the gym, like all the staff there, they know me. You know, like we have good times. Like they just know about me at the gym. Everyone comes pictures. Really? And it's just like, you know, it's just, yeah, it's just, it's super lit right now. That's beautiful. I love ballet. Like when I go back to Toronto now, it doesn't feel like home no more. Like when I come back here, it's like, fuck. This is my fucking home now. I mean, I, that's, that's what a good gym will do for you, bro. That's the reality. Cause Toronto, I mean, all they got Toronto, they got the Yorkville club is now an equinox. They ain't got shit over there. I don't know where even supposed to lift. Yeah. Yeah. And that over there even gets way more overwhelming for me. Like, you know, in the gym, it's like, they just come to me like crazy. And then in the gym, I'm uncomfortable in Toronto. So you can't, okay. I see isolation. So in LA, you're good. And I think that the, but you like a little separation from like Hollywood, Hollywood. Yeah, I know. Like I'm mostly like routine too. So it's like sometimes I don't even like want to go out. Like I'll just do my gym, my workout twice a day and then just stay at home and record. And then like a lot of people invite me out. Even like my publicist every day should talk about. of that going on and stuff and then sometimes i just don't want to network no more like i just have a fucking hit ray j's sister's having a birthday party if you want to pull up and you're like no i can't do it yeah sometimes it's like overwhelming i'm trying to be sober for fucking a month and then they keep dragging you back down in so you say you're sober are you are you cali sober

Do you know what that is? Nah, what's that? It's when, like, you do mushrooms, maybe a little weed, but, like, no. Nah, so I'd rather, I'm going to drink more than a smoker. But, like, once I do stop, I just cold turkey it. Like, everything. Everything. Fuck it. And then I go on diet also. I only drink water. So, like, I'm a cold turkey-er. You're a cold turkey-er. That's right. I can relate. So, have you, now, is this, have you seen a life improvement once you cut back on the substances? Are you feeling better, sleeping better? For sure, yeah. I feel way better. I feel, like, ten times better. I feel, like, more ideas flowing in. Really? Fuck it. My face starts clearing up. Fuck it. What do you do about, what about the nightmares, Smiley? You got nightmares? No, what's that? That's like when you stop doing drugs and your brain starts having dreams again. Oh, fuck yeah, I hate that. The first two, three days, I'll be having like 10 dreams in one night. Wake up cold sweats. I hate those days because it's like, fuck, what am I going to dream now? It's like, oh, it's bullshit dreams. It's enough to make you want to keep doing drugs, Smiley. Yeah, it's just like, what the fuck? I'm having like 10 different dreams. They're all going into the next. I'm like, what the fuck? It's tough. It's tough. What is your sleep schedule like though? Are you a late night guy or are you waking up? Well, like when I'm on my sober stuff and like on a routine, I'd rather be an earlier guy. So I hate waking up late. Like you said, right now I just woke up late. I was drinking and stuff yesterday. But I hate waking up these times. I'd rather wake up like... seven in the morning go to the gym right away and then my day seems way more longer i could do more and then i'd rather go to bed earlier so like because then if i the later i go to bed i'm gonna want to eat again but like i try to that's right yeah so i try to eat at like six o'clock my last time and then try to go to bed for like 10 10 11

I just call it night. Damn. In a shocking twist, Jason, Smiley's on the same schedule that we're on, which I didn't see coming. He really is. And also, it sounds like you found all this stuff out or you got there a lot earlier in life than we did. You kind of are living the lifestyle that a 40-year-old guy can figure out. Yeah, and that's how it feels sometimes. Sometimes I'm like, fuck. Fuck, you feel like a grandpa. grandpa smiley yeah but that i like it because i know it works and fuck so like you know i i do it and even before i when i first started my diet stuff i was doing it with my sister and we did like intimate fasting so like that was probably one of the biggest fastest way for me to lose weight right there you said inter you mean intermittent fasting not intimate fast yeah yeah yeah but i like intimate fasting too there's something there yeah um yeah that's good it's a great way to lose some weight but like that way it was so hard for me because i i didn't even want to record my stomach's growling i'm mad i'm angry i don't want to do it smiley's grumpy yeah real shit i do not want to record at this point No, that's, it does make, you have to get used to being hungry. That feeling is something you have to get used to. It's hard. And it's like, cause I'm just, like I said, like I'm cold turkey. So it's like, I'm going right into it without practice. Right. So it's like, it's crazy. Now, have you lost a significant amount of weight? Yeah. So like, are we, what are we down? I was 285. My lowest was 220, but like since probably Christmas. I haven't really been going that crazy. Like, I've probably been maintaining it. I don't like that for me. But also, like, you know, like, I do feel like even when I go to the gym and I'm eating like shit, I still go to the gym. But I hate those days because I feel like it does nothing for me. It just feels like a bullshit gym day. But it's not really because it's still good. But I like for everything to be fucking.

Good. Improvements. You want everything to be moving at some point. Yeah. Moving forward or even moving back, but staying in the middle, staying stagnant. Yeah. It probably makes you anxious or something, I guess. Yeah. Now I don't even want to buy a fucking skill. Fuck. So you said like last night you were doing some drinking and when it's late night you want to do a little, you know, eat like shit. What are you reaching for now that you're in Cali? Are you at Raising Cane's? Are you at the taco truck? Shake Shack Delivery? What's going on? Yeah, I'm half Mexican too, but I never really like going to taco trucks. It has to be homemade tacos. That's my favorite shit. That's my favorite meal, to be honest, but it has to be homemade. I don't like the taco truck shit. Okay, so you need the auntie in there making the tortillas. Yeah, I'd be making it because I'm a chef. Chef out here right now. Oh, okay. Oh, really? You're not only a fitness fanatic and a rapper, but you're also a chef. Yeah, yeah, because, like, you know, as I'm doing it, I'm just here fucking, fuck, my engineer's not cooking for me. But, no, I actually like doing it. Like, you know, I actually like trying to cook new things and, like, you know, whatever. I do like it. I love to hear that, Smiley. I love to hear that. Also, I'm a clean and... fanatic. Like, I fucking make sure my shit's, like... You keep your station clean. Yeah, everything, like, black on black, white on white, fucking... Like, sometimes when people clean, I hate it, because then I'm like, buddy, you left this whole fucking... You didn't... The things that are hidden, like, you know the hidden parts that people don't clean because you can't see it? Like, the fuck? Sweep it under the rug, it's still there. Okay, buddy. I guess, I mean... I was going to say, you sound just like my chick until you said buddy. And I was like, now I wish the next time my girl like gives me shit for not cleaning something up. She goes, buddy, buddy, what are you doing here? This the fucking Mexican me. But like, I do like that. So like, cause I hate some people. They could live in dirty environments or just dirty shit. Like your girl's not always going to be there. You're fucking.

So what are you going to do? No, that's right. You have to step up and be a man about it. You know what I mean? We have to get this shit clean. Yeah. So you need to have that house smelling like fabulosa? Is that the vibe? Yeah, it's like everything. Bleach that motherfucker. Everything. Yeah, I want everything fucking. Because then it makes me think better. I feel better. Everything. The air is fresh. Damn, bro. this is amazing smiley's got it figured out honestly i i'm if i would how old are you 25 if i would have known this yeah i just turned 25 that's crazy i know that's the thing like when they see me from online they think i'm fucking goofy they think i'm fucking the class clown and then once you get to hear me talk like you know what it is you know what time i'm on you know what the fuck this is Yes, no, we do. I mean, yeah, we clearly do. What is, so what is your, if you're in the kitchen and you're cooking now, are you doing this for yourself? Are you doing it for you and the engineer? Is there a lady involved? No, like we, no. So right now, my baby mom's just actually, she's here right now. She just came, but she's about to leave too. So, but like, what is this? Me and my engineer, most of the time, he, we cook for each other. Like, he does his own shit, I do my own shit. What was your question again? What's your go-to? What do you feel strongly about? Guy Fieri is coming over to the crib. What are we cooking him? I'll try to go to a restaurant because I don't want to cook for you. I'm going to have my assistant make a nice reservation and be done with it. This is my regular day. A clean day, clean day. After the gym, I'll come back. I'll fucking try to waste a bit of time, you know, because I'm still off of high energy. I'm not that hungry. So, you know, I'm there. If I have to do a little cleaning, I'll record a bit, listen to my shit, make my little calls, you know, and then I'll be like, okay, smoothie time. I'll make my smoothie. I'll put my protein shake in the smoothie.

So then right there, that's just a one meal right there. Like, you know, that fills me up. And then once I'm like a week of straight fucking going hard in the gym, like I'm pretty used to it. And like I can avoid as much carbs as I can now. So it's like that my second meal will be probably like chicken breast and like probably like salad and like vegetables and shit. And I'll probably just drink a lot of water before that. And then. And then I'll do a hike after that, like, probably an hour later or some shit. And then after that, like, later on, like, I'll do my last meal, and I'll have rice in it. But I'll try, like, not to get that much carbs in, you know? Okay. So you are living the life of, like, a pretty hot LA chick is what it sounds like. Yeah. Yeah. I have to do it. I have way more, like, I have to do it. fucking some shredding to do so i have to move like a fucking beverly hills bitch yeah i mean i look i get i've got some shredding to do i get i get it yeah this is this is our life basically is what you're explaining we are sort of yeah kindred spirits here i like it parallel universe i do i do like it like i'll tell you this too since i was a kid i was actually always like active like i was in soccer teams swimming class all that shit and then once i kind of got like in high school and i got kicked out of school i started just trapping doing all this stuff like i just didn't do no home-cooked meals just eating mcdonald's 24 7 on roads drinking a whole hennessy bottle to my face i just like went the total wrong route but i knew that's not what i wanted like you know once i had more time for myself everything now i do what i want and actually enjoy going to the gym it's probably one of my favorite favorite like things to do in the day like i look forward to it that's the way to do it it's all attitude yeah and after the gym session like i'll go the steam room love going in the steam room

fucking crazy. I was just in the steam room for 10 minutes before we recorded. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Jason's a big steam guy. That's how you have to, it's the cherry on top to finish it off like that. You don't get dessert until you eat your little vegetables, bro. Yeah, that's the right way to finish it off. Okay, so does that mean that you're an Equinox boy or are you going somewhere else? What's up? Like the gym? Yeah. I go either 24 fitness because i actually like it just for the basketball gym i start off before working i just shoot around a bit sure there's other gym cosmo contour okay it's like kind of like a heated gym like on all the equipments they have a it's like a sauna on every equipment so it's like you lose three times way more calories. It's crazy. It's sick. Okay. There's a little gym upstairs too, but I don't know. I'd rather go to the gym because there's more things I could use. And then obviously like in the middle of the day, I just do the hike. Yeah. The hike is tough for me. I just, I don't, I'd rather run personally. Yeah. So I do do that on the hike. Okay. I see what you mean. You take it serious. You take it serious. This is like four days in, five days in. Like, yeah. Then all my muscle memories. kick in because like yo I actually went crazy from when I lost that hole like 80 pounds like I was working out three times a day like people are looking like fuck this guy is crazy like we don't even know why you're fat at this point how are you still fat bro this makes no sense I was fucking working up so I want to talk about hiking so when you're hiking in LA There's, like, a common thing where people will have, like, either headphones in or they'll have, like, the little, like, JBL speaker and they're playing their music. Oh, no. Me, I need that full connection to the brain. Like, I hate the JBL guys. Like, fucking beat it. Me, too. They suck. I hate it. Those guys are annoying. Like, who do you feel like? The other day, there was one guy with the biggest JBL I've ever seen. I'm like...

fucking this guy is crazy but yeah headphones okay and are you listening to your own music are you listening to demos or are you listening to some like meditative music probably not my music that's probably like when i go to the gym but like on hikes normally like i'll listen to like i'm a guy like i listen to the same song 50 times fucking you know but like now i'm i'm like that too i try to kind of listen to way more new music albums because I got the time to. So I try to leave that for that. I'll try to listen to new music, figure out new music, whatever. Are you listening to anything that's not hip-hop? Alicia, Kara, whatever. That shit. I just, you know, Popswold's interview, his new little movie. And actually, like, that wasn't really a big, um, sorry, Post Malone fan. Okay, Post Malone. Like, because I just never listened to it. But, like, I don't know. Since I've seen his little documentary, I'm actually a fan. I'm a fan now. So, like, you know, I listen to a bit of his stuff. Mm-hmm. Like, John Legend stuff. Like, beer and shit. Like, fucking listen to Rock and Roll, man. It hits the spot. Like, yo. I like that. You're open, y'all. We're big Post Malone fans. If it's something that I say. You know what made me actually listen to it? So in that little documentary, the one with Ozzy Osbourne. I'm like, oh, this is a hit. This is a fucking hit. Good music is good music. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you are Canadian at the end of the day, so, you know. Some white people music is in your GNA, one could say. Yeah, for sure. So many great exports, you know, from the motherland. For sure. Now, if you're going out to eat, where are we hanging out in L.A.? Have you found your spots? Yeah, like the nice guys, probably. Let's go. Okay. My go-to, you know, Zach Bia, my fucking guy. Shout out to a friend of the show, Zach Bia. Yeah, I like a lot of Italian restaurants.

To be honest. Okay. You going to Mother Wolf? I never went there yet. You got to go, bro. You know what? Let us know. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. For sure. Smiley, maybe we need to take you to Mother Wolf. Let's do it. You know, my birthday just passed. My birthday just passed, huh? And you keep bringing it up. I forgot it. Okay, Smiley? I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I got a lot on my plate right now. No, no, but I actually do. I do want to go because I actually like the new. I like trying out new places, especially the Italian stuff. Yeah, I mean, John and Vinny's is an L.A. classic. You know, that's like, it's pretty close. So I try to go. Even though it's some bad boy food, I try to go. So Chris is also sober right now, but he's sort of, much like you, replaced drugs with fitness. And sometimes some, some eating as well. Have you found, have you found any other kind of like anti-drugs or, or things that where you're like, fuck, I just got to eat like this croissant or something or else I'm going to freak out. Yeah. Like sometimes if I do like all those chemicals start jumping and shit, like, and like, I'm just fucking to watch something. I like, I probably want to drink or something. I'll just be like, fuck it. I'm gonna do a cheat meal. what's the cheat meal though how cheaty are we getting so like now at least the cheat meals are getting better like you know now like a cheat meal would probably be a lasagna a homemade lasagna instead of like you know ordering instead of ordering like a 10 piece nugget combo two apple pies you know Now, what's your favorite? This is something we should get into because, you know, what's your favorite Canadian bad boy? Because we got, I mean, Swiss Chalet. Like, are we talking? Oh, yeah, yeah. I like Swiss Chalet, too. What do I go to over there? Okay. I don't know. Like Pizza Hut. Pizza Pizza. Pizza Pizza. Also a Canadian classic, though. An amazing export. An amazing export. Well, it's all a hidden mess.

Only certain locations that are really good. Of course. How can it all be different? You guys all get the same shit. You got it. That's it. So earlier you mentioned that some people, you said, if they don't know me, they might think that I'm goofy. But once they talk to you and get to know you, they learn that you're not. Do you ever enjoy the fact that people might think that you are goofy based on... I don't know. I don't really care, to be honest. Because it's just like, you fucker, you just see me. They could probably see me. I don't even have to probably talk. And look, this is the thing. I don't even probably have to talk. They never listen to my music. Don't follow me on no socials. And we'll think that. Right. So it's just like, all right, fuck you. And that's like, you get to talk to me. I'm like, I probably have more sense than you. I probably move to your age. Like, you know, I probably move older than you. But I mean, I noticed that and it's, it is cool and it's an impressive, but I wonder like how much of that do you do on purpose and how much of that is just like. No, it's like, I don't do it on purpose. It's just like on socials or anything. It's just like, it's not me doing it on purpose. I don't get, I don't go on live or anything. So you don't really, I don't, you don't hear me speak on things. I really like what you're getting is like a 10 second clip of me, like I'm just on a hike or something. So it's like, you're not really getting to know me. Like, you know, that's what podcasting is for smiling. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So like, yeah, I want to start vlogging, like fun stuff. Like even with my friends, like, cause I know we're entertaining, like, you know, so. Those type of things I feel like will help me too. And I'm sure your manager and label want you to be doing some goofy little TikToks and fun little games as well. I do do it, but it's like, it's not even just, I don't even do like, I just say that as a joke. It's just like, you know, I have that personality and it's just like, just funny. Everything comes out funny. So it's just like.

I do do it. I think it's refreshing, to be honest. I think it's refreshing to see somebody that has a sense of humor and is having fun with it instead of being so serious. Yeah, yeah. Fuck that. It's like, fuck it. Fix your face, bro. But again, I am getting more comfortable on TikTok. I be posting way more now. Okay. Are you glad that you're not having to trap anymore? Oh, yeah. Hell, yeah. Hell yeah, because I get to do everything I really want to do now. I get to travel. I'm not just sitting fucking watching my shoulders every fucking second over my shoulders. You know? Yeah, I know. I don't have to fucking have no PTSD of bullshit. I used to get like one time just in Popeye's fucking ordering. I'm in line. There's a fucking undercover behind me the whole time as we're in line. And as I get to cashier, he arrested me. Like, you know, and then because he was investigating everything. But then that gave me PTSD to anyone ever close to me. It's like, what are you? What the fuck? Like, you know, that happened a lot. Like one time, even at McDonald's drive-thru, like they did a whole takedown on me, like block me and a bunch of undercovers. It's like. you know so now when i just see even not anymore but like in toronto when i was doing my thing and say and just like fucking white people beside me or anyone black people whatever but undercover like it's just like fuck i'm like yo i have to i have to watch you like because i'm like cool this that shit fuck yo the guy was fucking behind me the whole time then he fucks you Now, you did a little time in jail, correct? Yeah, yeah. Not that much, but yeah, I did. And they actually fucked me over in the system so much. They usually do. It was a white old charge that I pled guilty to a gun possession. And then when I pled guilty, they gave me basically a youth stuff. I was supposed to go to a youth jail.

I get downstairs now. I'm in a paddy wagon with all the fucking old fucks. And then I'm like, okay, you know, maybe we're dropping them off first off the tension. We're dropping them off first off the tension. Then, you know, I go to my youth. Yo, then you're taking me out with the old man. I'm like, no way. So now I'm there. I'm like, okay. I'm asking the guy. I'm like, I'm not even supposed to be here. And then he's just like, well, it says, here you are. So then. That's what they all say, boy. Like, wow, fuck off. So then, whatever, I didn't end up caring because I went with, like, on a range that all, like, my older heads were, like, the older guys from my neighborhood. So, like, super, at that point in time, I haven't seen that in, like, probably, like, eight years, whatever. So, like, I'd rather just stay there. They had the whole place under control. So then. It was so crazy. Then I was going for provincial parole. And then everyone was saying, oh, you can't get it. This is impossible to get. No one ever gets it. Okay, you don't know me. King Manifesto, buddy. You know, I'm there taking fucking praying. Like, you know, every night I'm like, fucking, I'm getting this shit. I'm not staying here. I'm just, this is when the boy just. message me on insta like you know what i'm saying fucking fuck with your shit are you crazy i'm getting the fuck out of here i promise guys sir i'll never go back again i never i'm going straight fucking music Drake has DM'd a lot of people over the years and they thought, my life is forever changed. He has that power, you know? For sure. But, like, even at that time, though, like, this was when it was such a crazy thing for him to do that, like, you know? Oh, yeah. So then after, so I'm going to these little Pearl meetings there. Wait, can you explain what you're talking about, the Pearl? All right, so basically, let's say if I had to do...

um eight months right okay you get like let's say probably in two months you could go for a pro meeting to see if you're eligible for parole and then you'll probably be able to get out in three months but then you'll probably have conditions for that remaining time at home right so like getting out on good behavior sure you yeah yeah okay okay got it so now as i'm going to the meeting the girl that was kind of like my pro person she was actually fucking jake's neighbor too like she lived like kind of beside him and she's his neighbor so like that whole thing just helped me out 10 times like you know like just the whole thing like it was so crazy how everything played out so it was good for your spotify numbers as well as the future of your criminal history yeah yeah okay like yeah it was actually crazy so then i just ended up getting approved for it but then it was like the craziest conditions like i was on house arrest without being on house where i wanted to be i was banned from like everywhere in toronto so it's like i was like fuck but whatever i still rather like that like you know i could have been at home just recording and stuff so so they basically said like you can't go hang out in all your old neighborhoods anymore you can't anywhere in toronto like from they gave the biggest perimeter really fucking like and i was like it was everywhere i needed to be i'm like you can't go to any timmy's it's all it's all blacked out no it was like kind of somewhere from um let's say like islington to let's say um young it's a wide net something like that like yeah like i don't go nowhere else but that little Now, what kind of cars are we doing? Like, in Toronto, did you have to have the snow tires on the Range Rover? Or what's the vibe in L.A. versus Toronto with the whips? So, for Toronto, I barely go out in Toronto, too. So, I don't really care.

For, like, let's say if my friend fucking picks me up in a Toyota, I don't give a fuck. As long as the windows are tinted, like, you know, like, all that shit, I don't give a fuck. But if I'm going to the club or some shit, like, especially if it's here, I'll say the same thing in Toronto right here. For the, like, all the luck I get, the aesthetics, everything. I would pull up in, like, a black truck, you know? But other than that, I don't give a fuck. Okay, so you go to Nice Guy, Zach B is DJing, Uber XL, Navigator, Escalator, something like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Same. Yeah, like, if I'm going to studio, I'm not going to, I'm going to go to the normal boys, you know? I like that UberX, we're renaming UberX Normal Boys. I think that's a better brand for Uber. That's a good idea. Well, I didn't know. So you got your deal. I know you got the deal and you're obviously with Oliver and Warner Brothers and the whole thing, but we've had to buy something. Actually, no. Because my biggest thing from before was just like, let's say even my first sign like i just knew like i ran through everything so quick like you know and it's just like i never want to feel like that again yeah so like i just try to like not spend like you know i more invest like right now i'm finally getting into like because my manager's in like real estate and all those things right now so like i'm trying to like do stuff with him and like i know people out here that are in real estate so i'm trying to mostly do that first before like I fuck off everything. Before you fuck off and blow it all, at least have a couple properties in case something goes bad. Yeah, like, fuck. I don't even want to do that because, like, I just know the feeling, like, of, you know, then it's, like, your whole creative process.

fucks around too like it is fucked up so you're saying if you're if you're broke if you spend all the money then it's affecting the the product at the end of the day yeah yeah because now you're worrying about the first of the month now you're worrying about you're worrying about stuff that you were used to worry about before you got the check now you're like oh yeah then it's just like you're rapping you're like oh it's all bullshit how did i blow the whole bag on balenciaga belt buckles and shit okay i got it now i gotta go regular boys in the uber for a little while my main thing too though was actually more for other people helping other people so it's like i'm there fucking over there ready they think fucking i made probably five million off of everything they think i'm fucking bill gates or something like i'm helping so much people and it's like then That's how I fucked myself up the first time. You know, like, and then, like, the best thing I ever heard was just, like, you know, like, you do have to help yourself. Make sure you're good before you can do that. Because, like, even, like, when they say on the plane, like, you know, when the people say, like, make sure you have to put your mask on first before helping someone. Because, like, you know, you have to always make sure you're just good. Yeah, I use that analogy all the time. Before you can house on. That's all over that. Oliver told me that one. Oliver is listening to the pod right now, I'm sure. He usually does, but if you're on, he better be listening. He better listen. Yeah, I actually go way back with Oliver. We've been friends for a really long time, so I'm glad that we could make this happen. I'm sure he's given you some good advice career-wise? Yeah, always. He execs my stuff. I send him my music all the time. And he gives me his feedback. So, yeah. Shout out, Oliver. Well, I want to talk about Smiley fans. Besides liking you and your music, are there some things that you've noticed now that you're playing all these shows? Like, the people who are, like, front row, going the hardest for you. Like, what do those people have in common that you've noticed that you didn't notice before, maybe? Other than having great taste. Now, I feel like they all...

there's more of them obviously now and then it's just like they're they're doing this song there's more of them they're doing the song let's just say no way you know this one like it's like holy i wouldn't expect you to know this song like you know but i other than that the most i could say i i do see and the change is probably like on my tiktok stuff like the comments are just the on the socials like i do feel like i'm gonna have like, those crazy fan bases, like, you know, like, the Young Boys, Nicki Minaj, because, like, I do see it a bit, like, happening, like, you know, like, and this is just on a little scale, but, like, I am going to have that type of fan base. I'm sure the white chicks are going to find you on TikTok, and that's really what you want. Yeah, but it's like, no, because I see them already, like, you know, protecting me in the comments, they're doing this, and I'm just seeing them, I'm seeing the little fucking, the little thing happening there, you know? It was so funny. My cameraman made me realize that probably the other month, he was like, Smiley, you're going to have a crazy cut following. Where is your cameraman from? Your cameraman is a Jamaican grandfather is what it sounds like. No, no, no. I was trying to do a German accent. Smiley. Smiley. You're going to have cut following. Smiley. Damn, you got a German cameraman. That's the wildest thing I've heard of this whole podcast. Yeah. Yeah, so, I mean, it seems like your fan base, you know, just based off of your music and how kind of silly and fun you are, they must become, you know, they must be kind of sillier and fun and, like, not so serious, like, me mugging at the festival, like, trying to start shit and a little more, like, let's remember we're here to, like, have fun. Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. Well, now I'm doing it more because I'm getting way more comfortable on stage. But I do feel like I need to show that side of me, add that on stage too, like, you know, like the fun side. Because, like, on stage, I'll probably just be serious. I'll just do my, but, like, I don't, like, you know when you have the little breaks and you talk? I wasn't really good at that at first because I was probably, like, moving, like, shy, not comfortable. But, like, now I could joke around in that little 10 seconds and talk to the crowd and, like, you know? Yeah.

show my personality and i just yeah you're a funny guy you gotta let it show yeah like you know i stayed i'm just there moving tight moving fucking stiff yeah we don't want i i can't see you acting like playboy cardi out there you know what i mean so we gotta we gotta make sure the sense of humor also you know if you're if you're like a rapper that talks about you know killing people and drug dealing and stuff like that you kind of want to You know, be hard on stage or have, like, a hard persona. Yeah, yeah. Like, I do know how to balance it out, you know? The hard thing to balance, man. Exactly. Now, is there anybody you're excited to see at Rolling Loud? Like, who are you looking forward to seeing perform? Um... Uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh. Not out. think anyone to be honest like i just want to go there and leave like i had so much i had so much fun with the miami rolling like that was that was so hold on so you went to miami you went to miami rolling loud you performed and you just left you didn't no no no no no so for that one because it's like you know we had the the whole booth too where it's like fucking shit like well i didn't get like someone around us got like a 50 000 booth in the those section and that were just it was just the vibe everything and it was just like those way more acts like the headliners were like crazy too so it's like yeah I did stay back for this one for that one so you got your fill on the last one and yeah and just Toronto's just like too messy fucking it's like there's not even that much headliners it's like fuck no I know you're like high school chemistry teacher's gonna be there yeah it's good for like the The people back home, like, they don't see these stuff. But, like, yeah, I just came from Rhode Island, Miami. It seems fucking, like, basically fucking five headliners in one day. Where do you go from there? You know? Well, speaking of selling drugs, we have a section on our show that we ask some people sometimes, kind of like how people will do, like, top five dead or alive rappers, which we won't ask you. But we like to do top three prescription pills dead or alive.

description shows that's right yeah what are your number what's your number one top three if you had to choose all right so go fucking number one fucking addy okay really okay so you do like to clean that makes sense yeah yeah yeah like you know like especially like let's say if i start my day right now let's say i record i go day party then i come back home to record Then there's a fucking club. At this point in time, I'm kind of burnt out. So, like, if I do the Addy, it's like then I'm concentrated. I can fucking concentrate way more. And then once I'm done that club, I can go back to the studio for, like, a whole another eight hours. Okay. So it's just like, I don't know. I use it. Like, I don't never do this on a fun day. Like, fucking word. Okay, so you don't use it. You don't abuse it. You actually, you're like, I need. No, like, I have to do it for, like. fucking work sorry babe i gotta go to this day party that's why not even just that but i know what you mean i would have been doing at the day party but like the day party just like did not work in then it's just like whatever then come back to the studio and then it's just helping me actually do way more music because now i'm living a real like rapper life i'm just doing beer i'm just doing beer shit instead of just being grandpa at home like you know Okay, so that's actually something that we talk about on our podcast all the time. Like, you have to go out and live life. You need the experiences to talk about. You need stuff to talk about. Before, I realized sometimes, like, holy, I actually got a lot of good stuff from, like, because before I was the guy, like, why have I to go out rather than work or work, work. I still like that. Yeah, I always picked that before. But, like, once I did go out, I realized the amount of relationships I got from it are. good stuff like that actually got from networking i'm like that's like crazy why why not do that like let's say i'll probably just be at home just chilling why not just go out be seen network via one two things and then go back to the studio that's like i do get good things from going out and networking studio is going to be there the studio is always going to be there yeah and it's like you know the networking for the such important thing and you might you might see something happen at

Delilah that you could write a song about, you know? And then at that point, your bottle service is a tax write-off. Yeah. And then, like, you can meet new producers, everything. It's just sick. All right, so Adderall's number one. What's number two? Probably Perks. That's right. So we got an upper and a downer. That's a good mix. That's the upper and the downer. And then the last one, I'll probably say fucking Molly. That's right. That's right. I was waiting for that. You know, it's not necessarily a prescription, but it does come in a pill form, so we'll count it. It can be prescribed by certain doctors. When you're off of a Mali, are we smoking cigarettes? Is that a thing that happens? Belmonts? Don't lie. Yo, I'll tell you this. I'll tell you this. smoking like that you know um i just went to dr for my birthday and i actually i don't know like there's no loud like weed or anything so like i started smoking like you know cigarettes but like i don't i don't surpass the time yeah like i realized now it's part i i eliminated that with for with weed like you know so like let's say if i am getting drunk it's part of the ritual now i won't lie But it's like, I am able to cut it all off at once. Like right now, I'm going to go sober today and start my sobriety journey. And it's not going to be like crazy. I need nicotine. I need that. Yeah, no, I understand. So you're in the DR and without any weed, you were like, let me just smoke one of these and it was fine. It worked out for the time being. Yeah, like I realized, I'm like, okay, this is the problem. Makes me sketch out too much fucking everything. And I realized that I'd probably rather this if I had to smoke like this over weed. Like weed's not for me. And then, yeah, I was on vacation, you know, so I was just, I don't want to continue that though.

I understand. I mean, look. I feel like my fucking aunt. Okay, so we've had Grandpa Smiley, Auntie Smiley. We've got Auntie Smiley. We've seen all the sides of Smiley today. The other day when I was at Vancouver Airport, because the hotel's in the airport, as I'm going outside for a soak, I'm seeing this old lady. I'm like, cool. That's you, bro. That's you. That's your people now. That's your people. All right. Look, Smiley, thank you so much for joining us today on How Long. Thank you for having me. We had a blast. And we will we'll talk to your people about that mother wolf reservation and get it popping. Oh, yeah. Let's do it. I'm over here. I might leave probably for rolling out. Probably a couple days. I'll be back. Perfect. We'll be back September. We can make it happen. All right. Cool. We'll talk to you soon, bro. Appreciate you. All right. Thank you. See you guys, too. Just to advance.

Too much ain't enough of my plans. Nike don't pay me.
