Most definitely big business comedy talking. Yes, sir, what can they expect from an eighty five South show?
Told mane big laughs, big performances, everything, big man.
Now, do y'all do a separate set? Is this the show that y'all do collectively?
You know what? All these years we've been coming up here for you to still have to ask that question. Let us know that you do not support in the same way we need you to. How have you never been to a show?
I'm gonna come this weekend? Somebody told me, y'all do it different though. Somebody told me sometimes y'all do stand up and sometimes y'all do it collectively.
We ain't did stand up in like what about six about six years. We tried to do it, but the people crave all three of us at once. Pause, Yeah, they do. They want to take it all in. But then y'all just come off to Yeah that's what we do. Yeah, literally, exactly as soon as we come off, get another one started.
Right.
You say, you saw just Neggai in the two movie called that was behind the scenes. He said, you know what.
She was making sweet love to a Caucasian man.
I was actually a Caucasian woman.
Damn. What my two big subscription is what I'll be just watching random shows.
And then she just pop out. I'm like, look at yes.
Like this must be a scene when she got pregnant in.
No No Woman, No woman gonna get me pregnant. That was actually a stud. That was a white stud.
I was getting with a white stud. Hey, man, I need to call my management. I don't understand how I missed that. I'm not paying I don't see this.
I saw I got a story to tell. When she cut the white woman's head off, that was great, But I.
Was very much given in that scene though.
So did you cut the white stud head off after y'all had sex?
No, I do different movies.
You got more than one.
That's a different series. Both of them are series. One is I got a story to tell. My episode is so five, and then on ten series that's me Colin Powell.
Uh, it's a bunch of other people in it too.
I'm watching that this week.
She said, in a movie with Colon Power. But timeout you in a movie with Colon Power? Yeah, that time out. I don't think she said that right you Colon power? She said, Colon Power. Do you know who Colon?
Now?
Yeah, exactly know you was not in a movie.
It's a series. We shout it over the pandemicrolling.
Power let men and watching the come up. I know which one gonna come up? But naow ain't it.
I thought it was Clifton.
That's what.
That's what she talked about. She said she was in a movie with Colon Power. Listen man, general power, a certain general lifting.
Now the Big Business toward the three Headed monster toyo.
Hey man, the Big Business too is the one that lets you know that, hey, we ain't just figuring it out no more. This is we really in our stride. We really know exactly what we're doing. We take like we got, we got sets, taking the whole presentation to another level, added the screens, different sounds, different all everything, bro. So we're bringing even more elements to the eighty five South Show pretty much.
Yeah, it's just showing, you know, like you said, the elevation of what it is that we do because you know, we are the first to do it in that capacity as far as you know Black entertainment especially, you know what I mean, We were the first to really get on stage together and show what that dynamic look like. So now it's to a point where we're developing it to where you know, you're setting up an example for you know, this to be a valuable option in entertainment, for especially black comedians, to be able to share that spotlight and be able to get the money together. So it's it's definitely big business.
It's like the evolution of the Kings of comedy, absolutely like they used to do. Individual would imagine if they came out there.
Yeah, that was a whole nuther movie. It's a whole nother movie, you know what I mean. We could have got cold and pile in that.
I got a random question as a fan of eighty five south Shore right when y'all got guessed on, do you consider those interviews or do y'all just feel.
Like it's a kickback or just conversations.
I was just no, man, it's kind of just like, uh, having a guess co host won't really do too many interview type type of situation. I mean, of course we'd like to bring people on that we're fans of, you know, but we don't really just sit there and try to keep up with the topics of the week or the drama or nothing like that. We just like, you know, have some nice company around, so they could kick it with.
Us, but they open up on that couch door they get comfortable.
Yeah, that's the point. That's the point, you know, giving people an environment that is different than what they used to. You know, artists are constantly doing interviews that you know, they send their pr team in with questions you can ask and things you can't say, you know what I mean, we don't really have that type of dynamic. So people get to come in and really you know, and we asked the different line of question and two because we're interested in different things when we sit down with these people, you know, because a lot of them we are fans of. So we're not asking questions based on the perspective of a you know, an interviewer, were really coming from a fan perspective, just with a structured, you know way that we talk to people. So I think that allow allows people to feel more comfortable when they having a conversation with somebody that they feel like, you know, you're sitting on the porch or you have to barbershot with when.
You can tell these fans of y'all because they got to drive all the way to y'all studio. That's about two hours outside.
No, it's not why we just got here, man, We just not an hour. Everywhere is an hour way in Atlanta, what.
You MANI everywhere is an hour way.
All I'm saying is they gotta really they fuck with y'all to come out.
I tell you who, don't youigga? You ain't never been You ain't never sat down with us though you just sat down and did an interview. But you mean we ain't never invite you. We invited you and Envy. I know why Envy couldn't come, But you ain't got no excuse. Yeah, we knew he wouldn't come because he don't hang out with with people like us.
He don't even.
I see one picture you like, I'm saying the work they are really not they you gotta want y'all don't get to see it. We be in the back room. These niggas don't even talk to each other when the camera's off. They just sit there and just look straight. I'm like, man, that is it's like we've.
Been together for fourteen years. I'm saying.
It. If y'all have been together, y'all definitely been together. I bet y'all periods the same that they friends with them sleep in.
I don't get that, but this is the one. You ain't gotta make conversation with you a round in silence and it'll be cool.
All right whatever.
We know you talking thinking like we we laugh at the same Joe.
We always that's that's work, that's work related.
And you know we really neighbors for in the same neighborhood, like see each other family.
Who lived there first? Yeah, he gets you the house. That's a good question. No, alright, and oh alright, I just making sure she always come up with starting ship now. I ain't starting nothing. That was him, Charlamagne. I know you get money now because because you know you look good. You know what I mean, you taking care of yourself. You're starting to look like a cane Corso in the face. I saw a picture, jes I saw a picture Charla Man. I was like, man, he looked like a Corso.
Man.
You see he ain't smiling no more, said he du looks like look at his face like a boy. Boy. You better all run up in schola man, crib. He gonna bite.
You got paper, bro.
You remember when it used to be camouflood, Yeah, exactly. All them old pictures deleted like, man.
Now you got all the old pictures.
All his old pictures deleted.
Man saying somebody like a look like a can't call so was terrible.
But I'm telling you man, put the pictures off on the side by side.
Now, did y'all hear a soldier boy here called someone or Charlamagne face?
What that's her saying? Some more was handsome? That was just his way of saying he.
Got into an argument. He said, Now, I said, that's the most said how he.
Was saying, she ball headed? He said, Michael Jordan's face saw me and the godface.
Right now.
You can't be talking about my little brother some more. That's my little brother. She's always been my little brother. I understand you're outraised, but raised above my little brother.
Man. Yeah, I mean you see we got just my brother. You already know we discussed that the last time is going on. You know what I'm saying.
The last time you was here, you said I was your uncle.
But yeah, you know what I mean, my brother uncle. We just you know, whatever it is we need to be to make sure that we stay in pocket. You know what I mean? How you doing over there? You see you care? Now I ain't know y'all liked each other till the interview came. She said I didn't like her, That's what she said.
Y'all really thought that for real? What that y'all didn't like each other?
No, I ain't. I mean like romantically. I ain't know they I've always loved.
Oh, I forgot about all that.
Damn all right, don't be a clown with it now, thank you very much. Yeah, what what I'm doing?
Good?
Though I'm expected to within like two weeks.
The baby coming into Yeah, that nigga must be in the other room. They talk about me, just say something about me.
Man. You know one thing I like about y'all. Y'all don't got to do nothing that y'all don't want to do, you see, Carl, those cheek or DC doing something is because they want to do it so low. Why are you doing college here?
Why am I doing college?
Gotta be a reason behind, just for a little rasal dazzle, okay, just to shake it up a little bit. And sometimes sometimes I just wake up and I just be doing shit. Take advantage of this whole entertainment situation. Bro, ain't no telling what you might see me on wake up? You're gonna see me on one of them.
Survival type shows like what he get voted off the Island?
Telling I get all kind of calls through my phone. Bro Sometimes I say I say no most of the time, but I'm gonna start saying yeah.
To some of it.
And see, right, did you see the fight on College.
Which fight with Johnson and Brose?
Yeah?
Is that concern that you might have to fight somebody on?
Absolutely not. I'm a great fighter. That's why I don't Nobody ever tried me.
You think they just let me walk around saying whatever I want to say.
Nobody ever questioned it. I'm a great fighter.
With you, Nick Young and Saucy Santana, how is it trying to keep them from fighting?
Uh?
Well, you know, Saucy Santana is is a whole It's a whole handful of bag. You got a lot going. It's like a whole production. When when he's involved, shout out to my partner, Sausage.
But cool as hell. Man.
He's definitely not the person that I thought he was going into the show. But then after being around him and you kind of you kind of get to know these people, like, Okay, it's a mythod to your madness. So he's great, he's got a great market and plotting all that.
Somebody gonna play with Saucy and get their ass.
Beat, and that's what's gonna be hilarious. That's what's gonna be hilarious because they only get they only get to see.
Like that sounds crazy. They don't play on purpose. You see that conversation with something else, but Sau's is gonna end up whooping the hell out of somebody. I could tell they look.
Like they wanted to jump you. When you when you said homelessness.
Wasn't your problem, it's still not my problem.
I understood what you were saying. I got it.
Yeah, you know, I don't. I don't understand why that was so controversial. And then you see now they passing all these laws. They want to kick the homes. You can go to jail. They're criminalizing it.
So it's like, man, what you said about homeless people.
The professor said that homelessness was was a problem of everyone.
And I was like, I just don't feel like that. I don't think that that's my problem.
Because the powers that be and the people who make the real decisions, they can eradicate that in less than twenty four hours. If that's so, I don't feel like I had to try to play on your sympathy and your your good morals and all that to try to make you feel guilty about somebody else's situation.
I mean, it's.
Terrible, but I don't feel like it's a problem that's individual amongst the.
Cities, Colos Miller, are any of us as individuals?
Uh?
Correct the homelessness problem in America?
Don't be one?
Don't be correct or let them come live with you. We should all adopt one homeless person. I don't know, but not only that.
You think about all the billions of dollars.
It's in overseas, right right, I mean they can miss one payment and eradicate homeless. I mean it is in New York City. It used to be a problem. You used to see homeless people everywhere. Now you don't see No. Number One place homans in America. But I'm saying it's not like it used to be. You have to step over people. Now you can go blocks without seeing a homeless person. In this they'll do I mean, depending on what block you on. You know what I'm saying. If it ain't a homeless person. You're definitely stepping over a rat.
I don't know why they wait until twenty twenty six to put the trash cans in. That's backwards, Like why, yeah, we're gonna fix the rat problem in two years. We're gonna let them run it up for two more years, then we're gonna get the trash cans in. So this is a unique city. I love New York City. But like we were just talking on the way over here about how the world has ran from this island from right here. You know, this is where the world has ran from. All the decisions that are made here in New York City affect the world. So really, yes, without question, without question, Like you think about all of the businesses and all of the everything is centralized right here. You know, even if you look at media, you look at what you guys have done, you guys have shaped the culture from right here in the city. And I think it's just the essence of this city that makes it, you know, so grandiose in regards to you know, the power that is, you know, the power structure that New York has. You know, I'm from Washington, d C. I'm from the nation's capital. But it's more you know, decisions made in New York City than it even is in Washington, d C. If you ask me, that makes are politics? No, not really. You know, we think that I learned about being on this show. Bro.
You ask a black man his opinion, and it don't necessarily lind up with everybody else's.
They're gonna try to make you look crazy. Yeah, And I, like I said, I'm from the home of politics. I'm from Washington, d C. So I have a different vantage pointing to it. Like I know that a lot of the things that you know, people want done, you know what I'm saying, from wherever you're from, you're sending them to my city to get it done. And I've seen them walk past us in the conditions that you want fixed in your community. So I see that as not a care And unfortunately for black people when it comes to politics, we're the only ones that are expected to share, you know, we the only ones when it comes to getting something done for us. It's like, well, we got to be the president for the whole country, and we got to do this, and we got to do that to make sure that everybody's okay, Like it's it's so hard for us to get litigation and things past that just benefits us. I don't think that, you know, we we really are at a disadvantage when it comes to political you know, the political structure in America. So it's hard to identify as a black man. That's what triggered me too.
What's that now, just sitting here listening you say that, like as a black man, you can't sit here and try to blame that on me, Like the America's problem.
I ain't do nothing. I ain't do nothing with that. It ain't got nothing to do with me. It's difficult to find, you know, because you know, as black people, we've been in a committed relationship with the Democratic Party for years, and I think that a lot of people don't understand. Locally, that's what creates that connection. It's our local politicians that spread the word, if you will, Like I'm from DC, Marion Barry is the president to me, will always be. But what he did locally is what made us for sure say the Democratic Party is the best party to go with because of the things that he did locally. So that's why I always advise people to vote locally because the local government is what's going to affect your life day to day. Is not going to be the president. It's not going to be you know, the Senators and all of that. They make the big decisions, But the day to day things that go on in your community, that's what's going to shape the way that you live. So make sure that you pay attention to your local government, your sheriffs and you you know, police chiefs and all of that. That's what you need to vote.
My daddy was in rehabit, Marion Barry.
Your daddy was in rehabiting.
Marion told me this story for the first time, like a week and a half ago.
Man was lit. I guarantee it was lit. Barry all the way to South Carolina.
South Carolina in a facility. He said they used to He said they used to stay in uh. They used to stand at the bus stop and he just would tell him about all the stuff that was going on in politics in DC.
He just said, it's so cas That goes to show you how real of a nigga Marion Barry was. He went to South Carolina and caught the bus. That's different. That's a different type of politician. That's the type of politician. We need somebody like that, you know what I'm saying. So I don't know. I just think that, like for somebody like Charlamagne who was heavily involved in politics. I got a question for you, like, what do you think the plan should be in this coming election for us to get something done for us?
I think that you should.
Uh.
Well, I'm gonna tell you what I'm voting for. I'm voting to protect the democracy. You know me personally, I'm voting. I'm voting to preserve democracy. But I mean, I do I had I'm not gonna say I had no intentions of voting because I was going to vote in November. I just wasn't gonna tell nobody who I was voting for.
And I'm still not telling to a white man.
I'm still not telling nobody to vote for. You know, I'm just telling people vote for their issues. Fine, fine, look at both candidates, look at the issues that you like, the agenda that they got, and and cash your vote based on the issues.
I mean, but that's the thing, Like, what issues are specifically directed towards black people in America?
Well, I don't think. I don't think there's anything specifically directed towards black people in America and it should be. Yeah, but there's there's things that they you know, one of the candidates is doing. Kamala Harris, I believe that, you know, could impack us. You know when you talk about the black maternal health rate death rate in this country. You know, she's she's a leader on that, She's a leader on mental health advocacy, she's a leader to a c US, leader for small businesses HBCUs, Like those are things that I know directly impact US entrepreneurship, economic empowerment.
Yeah, but these are issues that have been on the board for years and for us to still have these same issues, let you know that none of this stuff has been rectified. So at what point do we taught to see the results other than the promises? You know, that's the thing. We get promised a whole bunch of stuff during the election cycle. Every four years. It's like the same movie. Come on, you get all these different promises, all these different you know, we're gonna do this, We're gon we're gonna do this, we're gonna do that, we're gonna do this, and then for the next four years it's just hurry up and wait you know what I'm saying, So I think they said it, so I don't.
Got to catch the back last, and then I guess the older I get, you know, having having actual relationships with people and being able to reach out to them personally. To me, that to me, that goes a long way, because you can really, like you said, you could really be in the like Mary Mary Barry was down there talking yeah, right, people, so you know exactly what's going on with the people.
To be able to make those kind of connections. I think that's that's priceless for all community.
I can agree personally to a certain extent.
What do y'all think when Trump got shot in the air?
He didn't get shot?
God damn, he didn't get shot.
To me, st I'm saying that, you know he didn't get shot.
Why you think he got shot?
You don't get shot and be out saying talking ship the same day he not fifty.
Yeah, he didn't get shot.
It was the glass he didn't get either way. I mean, coming from somebody who'd been shot at that, ain't no such, ain't no difference, you know, I ain't no different. I don't know what y'all talking about. You know what I mean all that he ain't get shit. I don't know about y'all, but I ain't never seen nobody like wait, hold up, wait a minute, that one ain't mine. Noah, it don't. It don't work like that. But I will say this about that situation though, in my opinion, like I said, with my understanding the politics, that was the first time that he ever looked presidential to me, really yeah, because to me, it was impossible to see him as presidential because he's been a celebrity our whole life. I watched his Nigga and Home alone like this is. He was always hes the apprentice, so you saw a celebrity. But that was the first time that I think in his you know, political career, that he actually looked presidential. It's kind of like what happened with Ronald Reagan when Ronald Reagan got a you know, the attempted assassination that if you look back on that history, that shows that that was the first time that he felt like him and the American people connected in a way that he did because he was a celebrity before he became the president. So once that happened, it connected him and bonded them with the American people, and I think that's what stretched him out to where we were able to see because I think the world that we live in now, the world that we're adult sin is because of Ronald Reagan. And if Trump wins this next election, the world that our children will live in will because Donald Trump.
Absolutely, you know what you just said to maybe think of you don't That doesn't show you the importance of this election coming up. Doing you see one president get an assassination attempt and then one the other candidate say, you know what, I'm gonna step out because it's so serious. I don't even want to give us a chance.
Now, I don't think I don't think that's the reason why he stepped out. Joe Biden was mumble rapping. Joe Biden was I'm talking about you? Asked him a question. He was, yeah, we're gonna beginn and it's like that lifestyle. I heard that already, Joe, You're not You're not gonna get me with that one. That thug right there. So I think that, you know, just I think that should be an age limit though, that should be that should definitely be an age limit because like los me and Los was talking the other day, and he was like, man, it's always going to be a bunch of old white men. So when are we gonna stop letting them be the ones that make the conscious decisions? You know what I mean? Yeah, I mean that's come on, that's a little different. It's very different. Yes, that's real campaigning at work. I gotta be law against anybody people to vote.
I'm not. I feel like I made that mistaken went home, girl, that's the whole know you went over to the point picture.
Yeah, she's somewhere right now, like look at my cane, cor so. Look at my cor so. Look at him just protecting me. Look at my cane course so troubles like look at my black people. That that's how she's gonna be. Like, we got my cane console and Charla bade the God. I'm really I'm yeah, she definitely came when we did the BT Awards. She came and talked to us. So there is a level, there is a level of connection that that is there that we can, you know, utilize as black people from just the optics because black women carry so much of the burden when it comes to our communities for various reasons. You know what I mean, you know, a lot of factors play into that, but the black woman is is very, very pivotal in our community. So I think that you know, having that connection and being able to galvanize black women. If black women are with it, then you know everybody gonna be with it.
And think about your daughter, right she goes, Think about the confidence you already instilling in her as a woman. But then she got people she can look too like that, Like, imagine what that do for their confidence?
Oh yeah, well she already got all her confidence. Yeah, I don't know what, you know, she she she different, She all way different. But I mean that is, you know, optic wise, that's something that I never thought. I never thought we would see Obama in our lifetime, so to see a black woman would be amazing. But you know, I would just hope that you know, the understanding, you know, because you look at the record and you know what people criticize her on in regards to what her time was as a prosecutor and everything. You know, but I think people need to understand that everybody got a job to do. So if that was her job, she was doing her job. And if she locked a lot of people up, that means she did her job well, so now it's time to you know, rectify that. And I think that's something that she should speak to kind of make black men who might have an issue with the fact that that's her record, make us feel a little bit better about the fact that that's not necessarily what she was doing because that was her sentiment. But she was doing her job. And now that she could potentially be the president, she's going to do a job that's going to be more beneficial to those same people that she might have, you know, been a detriment to back in the day, want to win. Does she want to be the president? Yeah?
Absolutely.
It seems like she's just that just came out of nowhere. Did you imagine you just knew it to your regular.
Job one day and they're like, hey, guess what we got for you?
She ran twenty she ran ticket.
But I think she wants to be.
I think so she definitely want to be. Did she go you how about you had lost in Vegas when your daughter made you do the walker.
Shane Man, Come on, Slim, now, I don't want to talk about it. Talk about you know, we kept while you keep trying to put me. We to go from politics straight to that. You're trying to get the hour rest of my business man too much, man, I have a limit, like I have a limit to where, you know, my own money. But the messed up part was I lost all my winnings. That's the thing. And that's the thing about gambling, man, gambler, I say, gambling don't get the respect they deserve in the hierarchy of addiction because you sit there and you know that if all they take is one of these motherfuckers they hit and not be right back up, and then next thing you know, you're digging your pocket to get some more money out and you got a coupon, and that's it.
Seem like nobody hit do it like I seen.
I think Drake hit for like some crazy eight million of a day, and I'm like, that just don't happen.
I mean, yeah, I don't know nothing about that. Ain't nowhere in the world I ever gambled that much money. I don't care how much money I have. But just the feeling of losing was was so terrible that my daughter really, you know, her perspective was, you know, we're gonna make it fun, but you can't do that daddy, and I'm just glad I'm in a position where I listened to my child in that regard. Like I always say, you know, I think that a lot of parents don't give the credence to their children to understand that. You think you know what they know, but they are very, very knowledgeable in a lot of ways that you don't give credit for. And I think that that's something that our parents didn't do. I joke about that all the time, like our parents felt like giving us a better life was just buying all of the ship that they didn't get when they was little and thinking that that provides us a better life than we had. But the reality gambling again, huh. I was just saying that you was gonna tell the world you've been gambling again. Why you snitching? I didn't say nothing. Yes, I went back to gambling. You. I definitely went back and I won this time. That's why I ain't say nothing.
Damn you just said he just said people down playing as an addiction.
It's an addiction.
It's an addiction, and I have an affliction. You know what I mean. You're not gonna do this on the break club. I'm here. I had enough, but I won this time, and like I said, I got a limit. I don't know. It was like make meat. You don't never bring it all with you. But you know, I'm not as bad as I was that day. That day I was sick.
You said, what, I'm scared of gamblers, especially the gamblers from the hood, because it's like I know people.
That you know that I would never do.
That used to be, they hustle like some people got to crack. They gonna.
I can't. I can't do the street gambling now. The fly fly is a legend on the dice, a little baby and the best gamblers and hard. Yeah, don't just don't gamble with them. You're not ready for No, you gotta do it. You gotta put fly in there. I was about to say, you gotta throw fly and fly monster on them dice. But I never gambled in the hood, like just because I saw, man, that's something the worst violence ever. Yeah, you know what I mean. So I'm good with that. But Vegas, you know that's control. You know, they gotta they It's a little different when you at the at the casino. But the streets now, I couldn't do the streets. The streets is a little different with Charlamagne. You gamble. You gamble all the time. When you went in there and set up into that machine and let them peel your skin off and put a whole other lays skin on, you could have died. That was a gamble with your life, bro, you going there exactly, You know what I mean. When you got in there and refurbished yourself. Man, you could have passed away to the bike. You know what you went through. You gambled with your life to look like that came course over with the smooth skin.
Might not even be me right now. I might be dead, might be dead.
Oh you definitely is dead. Oh you is definitely dead all the way he.
Said for two Dougle, little baby won't even get fort Dougle up here. Two weeks ago, you said, him and baby don't even gamble againt each other.
I don't blame you.
Said they only hit up other people.
Yeah, yeah, they had a life changing type gamble.
Yeah. But to just go ahead and let you know, I lost sixty four hundred dollar. That's how much I like. Sixty sixty four their money, you know what I mean, that's how much I want, And then I gave it all back, gave it all back.
Do y'all roast each other the same way Doug and Baby won't play thanks against each other. That y'all not roast each other.
You just heard this nigga snitch on me. Helly, we was just talking. That's how we do. It is no filter, like we really brothers, we potners, So there is no you know what I mean, We keep each other and check that way, you know what I'm saying, Like, there is no situation that can happen where if we're gonna laugh at each other first, the world not gonna be able to make us feel bad about some shit. We're gonna discuss it and laugh and joke with each other first, and by the time the world get to it, we didn't already got past it. You know what I mean.
If you ever around some comedians and they don't say nothing, they don't care about you.
So you can't you can never go too far with each other.
No, no, hell no, you know what I mean, because there's a level of respect there that's in place. But then there's no situation that we can go through in life that is off the table, because you know, you gotta have you know, therapy, man, that's really what it is. Your brothers are your therapists, your everyday therapist, the ones you don't have to pay, so you really missing out if you don't utilize that. You know what I mean? If you and Charlamagne live in the same community and y'all going through something, you don't walk across the street and holler at your boy the associate outside the work, bro, don't we do? Don't. He's not going over He don't know nothing about charlamagne house. Charlamagne ain't been over his house. They don't eat dinner.
I don't really go to nobody house. Nobody house.
I really don't.
I don't go to no house exactly.
I got six kids.
We know how many kids you got? You post them every day, lazy casey Stacy. Yeah, you got them to see there boy for the show. Know too much about y'all. Man is a great athlete.
And all that.
What about the Covenant house loads? How did that change? You visited the Covenant.
I've never been around like homeless teenagers, man, I didn't know that it was. When you think homeless, you think of like adults who had a whole life and went through something and like.
Fell on hard time. But then you go and you see like teenage mothers and fathers, and then you got like high school students who are still getting up every day going to high school, which could totally be a struggle because kids a crew and you got future.
Comedians in there roasting everybody, not knowing what people's situation is. So it's like that just hit me in a different way to be like, it's not just grown people bro heids involved, it's people still trying to have a life. So I had to make sure that I went down there off camera and kicked it and talked to them people and sent some gifts and some you know, some some resources and just try to use my platform to try to amplify that part.
So and probably still reinforced you American and shit, it definitely definitely like I was saying, bro, like it's a real problem and then sit here and like come.
Up with a TV solution to a real problem. It just aggravated the hell out of me. So I just had to make sure I did something on.
My own and that was dope, like.
Because I'm still working on that and I've been calling a lot of people trying to get some resources behind it like been talking to some of the executives over there bes He to be like, Hey, if we can go over there and shoot something there, we can definitely put them on the list, you know what I mean, keep them in the rotation.
You know what I mean. It's a lot of places like that. I like grew up in DC. It's a place called Sasha Bruce that a lot of the you know, homeless kids lived at and we would go volunteer. And you know, this was when I was still in school. So just sitting and that dynamic made us have a greater appreciation for what we did have. You know, even though we was poor and broke, we still had mothers and you know what I mean, a place to call our own. And just seeing kids have to try to figure out that dynamic even back then was a problem. But now you look at what they up against. Man, they up against everybody's highlight. Real we didn't have to compete with that, you know what I'm saying with the internet now, you know, I went back to my college and talked to the kids in my program at the mass communications program and just hearing them say, man, I feel like I ain't doing enough. I feel like I ain't doing enough. I'm like, how old are you? Eighteen nineteen? And the reason is because when you look at your phone, you seeing everything that everybody's doing everywhere. Like when I was in when I first went to college, I knew what everybody was doing on the campus in the surrounded areas, but I didn't know what the dudes is Central was doing, or the dudes at Hampton or how Now everything is available to you every fifteen to sixty seconds. So they're under a greater level of pressure than we were ever under because you have so much access to information. So you think about the pressure of having that type of access to information, seeing everybody who's living better than you, and then you got to live in this reality. They need that type of support from people like us to be able to push them forward and say, hey man, the real world is always going to be the real world. When you turn that phone off, this is still going to be going on, so you can push through it. And that's necessary. That's why I was so when me and Los had the conversation about him even going on college here, we talked about it and not you know, after we had the conversation, I was just like, man, I'm glad that you're doing it because you're the person that can change the dynamic of what people think about reality TV. You know what I mean. It doesn't have to be you know, you relegated to being a reality star. If you go on a reality television show, you can go on there and change the dynamic. And I think that's what he did. So it's good for people who might not have had the theory to be able to say I'm going a reality show. Now they can see somebody like him on a reality show and realize, Okay, I can go on there be myself and still come out and do all the same things without being you know, type cast. Is all right, Well, we ain't gonna be able to see you on nothing else but Love and Hip Hoppo and not that there's anything wrong with those shows. But I might go on there, Nick, for real, I want to go in there and.
Break up well, I don't know, just go on there and have a terrible relationship pick.
Up with Steven j left though on purpose purpose.
See that's funny though, you going there with that intention, that's funny. That's comedy to me.
I would definitely going.
Have they approach you, Yeah, you just didn't want.
To do it.
I ain't found the right person going and I don't want it. I don't want it to be just regular.
I might I might get one of them only fans girls or so act like we in love for three episodes.
Yeah, they approached me, but the reality show they want to be a do a reality show where I was going over there to find love. I was like, you know what, me not like that? Boy? You think them comments be bad? Would I be on here? Oh my god?
Approach you because they hear your Yeah.
Yeah, they thought that it would be a good idea that that have me going there and bullshit and no, I couldn't do it. You know what I mean. I couldn't do it. It would be too disrespectful for the people who have accepted the truth that I give out every day for me to go in there and act like I'm trying to find a girlfriend on the reality show. That would have fall in love with an ugly woman. What's an ugly woman? I mean a woman who's not conventionally attractive.
Style yet Yah, yeah, give it like twenty twenty seven should be that'd be the one, So you coming.
He went on there talking to a ship exactly, you know what I mean. So you said I need to go out there and get an unconventionally attractive woman. Then you know what, now that makes sense. We might be able to shoot to get an unconventionally attractive woman, put up with Charla Man who was unconventionally attractive, show him to get her, to show her his whole process. And just like her name is Charla wo Man. That's crazy.
I used to always say I am I'm an exotic I'm exotic looking. Now, you know, you like Seal? Remember see like women like Seal. Remember Seal.
This snigger said he looked like Seal. He got one white lady and thought that was, you know, some eyes. And then come on, Charla was married, who seems like a superman.
Yeah, they got everything. Shout out the Seal, bro. Don't let don't let him be the face of ugly Yeah.
And then and then I just realized, Chae, you said, my daughter made me do the walk in shave. You know, I'm not a shave the way by headline you look like Michael Myers. That's the funny part about it. Like, you know what I mean, I'm glad that we had the type of dynamic that we had because it's fun for her. But like I from the beginning, it was just me showing that man, who gives a fuck what people think about you, you know what I mean? And the fact that I could walk with the same reason I could walk around confident with my head looking crazy like that is the same reason you think you look like more's chestnuting. I'm talking about delusion, yeah, but yeah, but it's it's self indulgent delusion. You know what I'm saying. I d we both got it. That's what that type of ain't gonna take it that far. You got you got a good job, job, job, there you go. I think you got insurance, you got insured, you got stability. Look like New York undercover Malik Yoba or don't let him do that. You know you don't let him.
Do Malik Yoba, Man, that's that's.
You just text you the other day.
He ain't text you, You send me a screenshot.
Well, you know what, now that I think about it, y'all do look like Malik yo mentor y'all can do y'all can be the New York Undercover right there, New York's other brothers undercover because y'all is undercover, you know what I mean. We need to stop coming up here and give me these niggas these free ideas. Man. They need to pay us man. And then you know, Jess can be the chief. Jess could be the chief, you know, the chief of police that y'all got a report to, you know what I mean. She could be in a relationship with Colon Powe, be the hitch man telling you bronte on us man, what's what you say?
What's up with Channel five?
Would you even take a nap? You sleepy? I can see it. Yeah, there you go. Now, don't get too aggressive that baby with your water go break on camera. But now you know Channel eighty five is is, you know, our attempt in you know, making sure that we are in control of as much as we can be in control of the content that we put out on there is the way we wanted to be without having to be, you know, under the rules and guidelines of you know, people who might disagree with what we want our narrative to be. So having that control is is important. And also being able to be in charge of what you know you put out and having the understanding of how deep that goes when it comes to the visual aspects. When it comes so what you're talking about the content wise, all of that is stuff that somebody else is going to dictate and determine when you're using that platform. So for us to have that ability where one putting out what we want to put out, but also learning the game from that perspective to be able to, you know, have people who have like minds be able to come in and put that content out on our platform as well. So it's all about the ownership.
What it looks like to create, produce your own ideas and where would it live, what does it look like. We don't need the validation of somebody at a network to say.
That's a good one. I don't like that one.
Maybe you change that. It's like, nah, we want to try to build. We want to build within our own structure. And it's all about retaining ownership because you know, with other platforms like YouTube and the social media that fluctuates. One month, you'd be great, you make a whole lot of money. Then the next month they'll flag all your content and then you make no money. So it's just it's really just about like trying to stabilize ownership and you know, get into the media game, because I feel like at this point it's still early, like people still figuring out like what's gonna happen in ten years when all these content is created, Like how we're gonna keep getting paid off of it?
You know what I'm saying.
So that's that's the the like the insight that we take when we were creating our new projects and you know, doing things like Channel eighty five plus.
It's in the tech world. We figure out some tech world type situation would be the next billionaire. Yeah exactly. And then you look at the way that the game has changed with the streaming. You look at people like hossing that and you know, I show speed and all of these people who got to get over there with them. Yeah for sure, the old dude over there. Yeah, you know what I mean, guy, I mean that that that right there is a dynamic that shows you just how quickly things can change, because you know, five years ago, nobody saw that coming. Nobody's so valuable options and being able to just sit in a room and broadcast your self doing whatever it is you want to do. But now that is one of the most lucrative ways to be able to market, to be able to you know, you know, break artists, to be able to do all of these different type of things. So that goes to show you how the development of technology is changing the way that entertainment is consumed. So I think that when you put your you know, hat in the game, you allow yourself to you know, be in the race in a way to where you can connect with these people because you have the same type of dynamic going on to where they can you know, a man, we're doing this, come sit with us, so we can sit with you and do that. But I think that a lot of people are still stuck in the old god. So you got to realize that things change. Time is always moving forward, so you can't be stuck in the mentality a man I can't get with that. And that's why keV is so smart, because you know, he's already certified legendary in the entertainment industry, so he doesn't he didn't have to go and put himself in that position. He would have been straight without that, But because of the energy that those guys are putting out, he's saw value in that, and that's something that we always want to have. On one end, the vision to be able to see and also be able to have something that somebody can look at us and that might be in a greater position and say, hey, I want to come sit down with them, you know what I mean. I want to come have a conversation with these guys to be able to show that I'm seeing that the progression of entertainment is something that I want to be a part of, even though I've been in it for thirty forty years. You know what I'm saying. Yeah, both ways, man will come come rock Lust time. You know what I'm saying. We out here, slim Oh.
A live stream from eighty five Studios would be crazy.
Yeah, a live stream anywhere with Slam. I mean that is you know, the youth is. You know. I use my daughter as an example, like she's my casickly into the things that I don't understand about, you know, the Internet and entertainment in that regard and everything that she put me onto. I embrace it because I know that this is what in ten years, this is what the dynamic is going to be in entertainment. So if I want to stay in touch, that's my easiest, you know, the easiest way for me to stay in touch is right there, you know what I mean, I got it, and I think a lot of us if we gave that ability to the children that we have or the children that we're around, to be able to let them guide us into what we you know, are going into the future and seeing you know, you'll have a lot more opportunity to make more money, especially when you've been doing it for you know, we've been in this game now, we've been on TV what ten years now, almost eleven years, so, so you know, and wilding out Grade Premier, then Wilding out Grade Premier this week, you know what I mean? Another season is great, permit this week. So you know, we have been blessed to be in the game. But it's always progression that can be made, and a lot of the times you miss that progression by being stuck in your old ways, you know what I'm saying. So you know, just open your mind up and you will see the value and all of this stuff that these you know, new entertainers are doing out here, because we definitely see y'all got for y'all the dumbest pitch.
I'm just pitch. Somebody came to y'all and said, you want you to do this movie of this show.
For me, it was that reality show. I was like, man, y'all got you know who I am? You want me to go on there and try to find a girl? I tried to. He tried to talk me and the daughter. He tried to talk me in the daughter. I couldn't do it, man, really entertain it. I can't do it. It's impossible. Man, I get in trouble for that. Now. Niggas be mad at me because I don't want to participate in They boys shit, it's crazy, Like I just don't understand that. How you could be a real nigga everywhere but in your house. That don't make no sense to me. You you know what I mean? You're a real nigga everywhere. You motherfag bet I play with you better, I disrespect you. Better not say nothing crazy to you. As soon as you walk in that door and that woman asked you where you was at? Huh what you mean? And I just you know, I can't operate like that with that.
Can you tell the truth?
Yeah? I can't operate like that because I you know, it just don't make no sense to me. I can't say, you know, drink I can't make you like me based on what your fantasy is about a man. If you looking for your fantasy man, go find them. But this is what it is with me. And once they came to me with that, I was like, no, it is what it is because it is harsh and it's not hard.
Like the fantasy.
Yeah, myself every day? Where would you, babe? Babe? I was traveling on the Western Hemistry, I was chased down by Terrannosaurus that I made my way home. I love you. That's all good until you get into the argument all your dinosaurs chasing as our niggas chase dinosaurs. Think that now you're mad. Na, No, you can have that, lim I don't want no part of reality all the time, A lot of me. I'm talking about, give me some good, healthy line.
Oh you know said that to get your body. She was having a conversation with James.
But James bad, and that's one of my favorite conversations. She was like, you know, why can't you, why can't you come from a lot of me? And that I can respect that as long as you understand when you catch me in that lie, I don't get chastised for it. That's the part that they left out. You know what I mean. It's it's cool if you if you want to be like some brutal ass whoopings that's what I heard. You heard me, You heard the trump when you little ass whoopings from who oh yeah? Oh well yeah, but definitely life then definitely whooped my ass in a lot of different ways. But it's it's not in the same capacity that most people. I done dealt with a lot of laws, man, like a whole lot of law, and lost a lot of people that I love in my lifetime. And one thing you can't ever get back is those people. So you left with the memories because you imagine that somebody passed away and all you got is lies, you know, I mean, you didn't even been lied to the whole time. Now you can't, I imagine that's the reality of a lot of them situations. Yeah, I know, you know what. I many people I lost that ain't dead. I lost a lot of people that I don't even know.
No man, Yeah, but why did you lose because I never had them?
Why did you lose them? Because I never had And what you mean by that they showed up and they tried to they tried to sell me a perception of something that they weren't shut themselves to, something that was not even real. But that's what I tell you all the time. When you hang around people, if they keep it real and they keep it thorough with you, you gonna it's not gonna last.
You can't sit out, you can't be yourself all the time. I can't go on college hell and tell these people how I really feel. I can, yes, you do.
I can only give them a cert Like the way that they edited around that, I saw that that was a that was a conversation that happened after class that had nothing to do with the class, But the way that they played it, they tried to make me look ignorant, rude, disruptive, and disrespectful. And this is this is out like this is just a regular conversation that I'm having that somebody asked me, How could you take something.
Like that answer, y'all are some of the most thoughts for people I know.
See I come on this show and tell the world. I don't want you to know that about me. You don't need to know that I'm a great person. I need you to continue to believe that I'm as terrible as you think I am, because that goes with that's so on brand. If I was the nice.
Person who went off camera and hung out with these people six seven hours, I'm not.
They don't even tell you. I'm the reason why we passed the class in the first place. All these people on that disagreeing with me. They didn't help with with the actual work part of that.
You have to do real work.
Hell yeah, they said the man, and they dismantled my opinion. But then they have no solution. Nobody had nothing to offer. Didn't nobody want to contribute, not even the teacher, Like so you just did that for the camera.
And you the person going to the Covenant house after the.
Camera said, we had them conversations about that, just in what we're talking about now, Like because he he's sitting here talking that ship, do you want to This is one of the realist niggas you'll ever meet in regardless. It ain't no blowing it, ain't no ain't no blowing it. This is what it is. You know what I'm saying. But I understand where he's coming from because we have these type of dialogues. Men is due man. We come from nothing like me in this city. That's why I love this city so much, because men is due. When we first got on wild'n Out was walking the Western Union, sending thirty forty dollars home and washing our clothes at the hotels, and we didn't been together and progressed through this industry. So the conversations that we've had always on brand with the future. We are able to see into the future in a lot of ways. You know. That's why I always give Charlemagne the credit that I give him, because you have that same vision. But in those conversations you realize that what he's saying ain't wrong as far as how detrimental being honest and being real can be. But at some point you have to recognize that who cares what people think about how you operate. When you go home and you in the house and it's just you, that's your life. That's majority of your life. It's just you and your thoughts.
So my life is just me walking around with sweatpans and no draws.
Yes, that's majority. That's music from three that's my life. That's that's your real life. Yeah, that's what that's your real life right there. That's what you're gonna do majority of the time. And then the crazy part is that's what you enjoy.
The most exactly. That's what makes you who you are.
All the way. That's what makes you you. You know what. It's a lot of those things that make me who I am. But I think the Mississippi stands out the most. You know, you when you come from the country, that's right, you start to see like you get the like the first lesson that you learn is between cost and value. That's right.
It's because something cost of life doesn't mean it holds any right. So when I when I go through this journey with the entertainment industry and you get the opportunities to make money and things of that nature, I think about how far they will actually go wound, you know what I mean, how much you can actually do. It's a lot of things that I still haven't been able to comfortably buy because.
Man, yes, sir, you know what I'm saying.
Easily do that. But I could also take this and go help damn.
All the people that well, you know what I mean, change somebody's life, like change their whole situation.
But which one do you do? Do you do you still serve yourself.
Or do you do that, you're gonna learn to do a little bit better.
Find a balance, you know what I mean. You got to find a balance because you realize in helping people a lot of times, like I all the time, I don't loan people money, you know what I mean? If I give you something because I don't have any money, Yeah, I don't loan people money. If I give you something, I'm giving it to you because I know that the process of getting it back is going to be a whole process that I don't want to see those characteristics in you, because the humbleness that you come and ask for with I don't There's no way that I'm going to have to or be able to ask you for it back with the same humbinists because it's something that I gave to you. So I'm automatically going to look like an asshole asking for that little bit of money I gave you. You know what I'm saying. But you also have to balance yourself in knowing that if you give it all the way, you won't have nothing. And then those same people who are asking you you could never ask them for the things that they're asking you for. So you got to have that balance.
You know, I don't be ridiculous. They don't ask me for stuff you've never had in your life. Yeah you get ten thousand until next Friday.
Yeah yeah, like you asking you for amount of money you've never made, Like you don't even know how to go get this, but you expect me. And it's something that I always ask is like how many solutions or how many possible solutions that you go through before you got to me? Or was it the problem then me? Yeah? I need to be er, you know what I mean, Like, don't let me be the solution to your problem, like to have some type of cache to where you try to figure this out on your own. Tell me what you did up until you having to call me that didn't work, to where I was the last option for you to be able to make this happen. And then certain people don't even ask anything. Those are the easiest people to help because you know that they're trying. That's the process that goes unsaid, Like I know you've been doing everything that you can to fix this, so in order for me to help you not go through that process anymore. I'll help you out. But if it's just I got a problem, you the solution. Those are the people you got to learn how to separate yourself from because you will never be able to get him enough, because there will never be problems. There will never not be problems. Rather, in somebody's life, everybody gonna always have issues. And when you the person that people look at as a solution, they don't respect your issues. I always act like I'm just in between jobs. What I mean, well, technically, yeah, I'm working those things. Man. You said, well, now, all right, non stop us. Don't try to get us out of it. When you go to his page. Block blocked now block I might be blocked now, but it's okay because you know I love them and I'm trying to help my brother out already. Rich you don't need no five thousand dollars from me.
