00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 2: So I don't even know my right.

82
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: I got lucky because my mom bro mama, And I

83
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: don't know if she did this on purpose or if

84
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 1: this is it. So, So I grew up in Birmingham

85
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: West End. And so it's a park around the corner

86
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 1: from South Park Road where I grew up called Powderly Park.

87
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 1: So Powderley Park is where everybody went to hoop. And

88
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: you know, if it was you know, that's what the

89
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 1: OJ's was drinking. If somebody was gonna get shot, it's

90
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,479
Speaker 1: gonna be everything happened in Potterley Park. So my mom

91
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 1: started keeping game that that's why I was going. So

92
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: she goes, I ain't. We ain't gonna have this shit.

93
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna work an extra job real quick, and I'm

94
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: gonna put a basketball goal in our yard. So that

95
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 1: way you gotta go to Pottery Park, and that way

96
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: I can at least keep my eye on you. What

97
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 1: my mama didn't anticipate is the fact that the way

98
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:05,239
Speaker 1: our house was set up, our driveway was shaded during

99
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: peak summer hours, so Patterley Park came to mother house.

100
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 3: Oh and I know that was the problem, so.

101
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: Because you could hoop into shade, but his was wold.

102
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: Because my father, my father, you know, without getting into

103
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: it too deep, he's a OG and a well respected

104
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:27,239
Speaker 1: civil rights journalists and commentators. So people in the hood

105
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: respected my dad. So off the strength of my father,

106
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: they didn't fuck with me. And because they were at

107

218
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:01,319
Speaker 4: You're like, dogs are real. And it wasn't until I

00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 4: was an adult that I became unafraid of dogs. Like

220
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:08,240

Speaker 4: they wagged they tail mean certain things.

222
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 3: But I didn't give a fuck.

223
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:12,079
Speaker 2: It was the dog.

224
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 4: I would just run because I've had I've seen too

225
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 4: many bad incidents.

226
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 3: One time I was at home with my aunt and

227
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:19,839
Speaker 3: me and her was sitting there talking.

228
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,439

00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,439
Speaker 2: like dogs for pets and love and shit, and I

248
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 2: was like, Oh.

Speaker 4: So I never I never grew up around them, and

257
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 4: I remember we talked about dogs. I remember one time

258
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:33,599
Speaker 4: I was at the bus stop and it was like

259
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:37,599
Speaker 4: early in the morning and this woman, she was a

260
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 4: white woman, had a dog and you know how sometimes

261
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 4: Dan neil, y'all. But you let the dog off the

262
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 4: leash and then start started running towards me. And it's

263
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 4: like seven o'clock in the morning, you know, because we

264
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 4: had to be a school. The cracker done, honey. I

265
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 4: was beating the ground and yelling and screaming at time.

266
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 4: My mom my UNC came outside just trying to figure

267
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:58,599
Speaker 4: out what the hell was on me. I told that

268
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 4: when I said, ma'am, get your you don't get your dama.

269
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 3: Fuck it up, I tol. I told her, I said,

270
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 3: fuck your doll up. Your dog is running at me aggressive.

271
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 4: You have been worn, you know, because I don't know

272
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 4: what your people talking about.

273
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:13,599
Speaker 3: My dog. Don't bite it. Don't bite you bitch. It

274
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:14,079
Speaker 3: don't know me.

275
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:15,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've never fed it.

276
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I'll be teaching my boy now, like

277
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 1: because he's four and just on some human interaction type shit.

278
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 1: The dog like an animal. That's your first Like I look,

279
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 1: check the ears, read the tail, and tell Stiff's wagons

280
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 1: to tail that like, read people, because the dog is

281
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 1: still might step out of nowhere. And even if you

282
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 1: trust the dog, keep your hand high and bring it

283
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: in slow, low, and let it see you, like, don't

284
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 1: surprise the damn dog man. I am not interested in

285
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: having one as a pet. I think pets teach responsibility.

286
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 1: I think it's a good if you want to get dark.

287
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 1: It also teaches you about how to deal with loss,

288
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 1: because that's your first real that's the first real, painful hell.

289
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 1: The first real death is a pet. Yeah, for a child,

290

313
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 2: Now this motherfucker is in there just slowly suffocating to death,

346
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 1: I just didn't know. Like that's what I went to

347
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:14,719
Speaker 1: the insight. That's how long ago it was. Was the internet.

348
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 1: That's what I finally went to the encyclopeter to read

349
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:20,159
Speaker 1: up like what happened. It's also guinea pigs don't like

350
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 1: to live under sixty degree.

351
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 2: That's what it was. That's literally why they called people

352
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 2: guinea pigs, that that'd be the first one to die

353
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 2: in the experiment.

354
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:32,439
Speaker 3: And ships they just couldn't survive.

355
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:34,440
Speaker 4: And and also the thing is, if you want to

356
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 4: see a group of particularly of black children in the

357
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 4: hood disappear, have a dog hop over a fence.

Speaker 2: it was so smart. It got loose like once a week,

388
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 2: like and this motherfucker was building basically a prison for this.

389
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 2: And so it was like, what's the point of having

390
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 2: a dog?

391
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:03,560

392
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 2: We don't have pets, like like, it jumped. It jumped

393
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 2: the first fence he got, which is just like a

394
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 2: wooden fence, got out. Bit somebody, Uh put it back up.

395
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:16,199
Speaker 1: Uh.

396
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:19,920
Speaker 2: He built like an enclosure with a big ass leash

397
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 2: with a.

398
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 1: Leash on it.

399
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,399
Speaker 2: It broke the leash a couple of times. Then he

400
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 2: had to get like this big like chain like you

401
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,120
Speaker 2: would put on a fucking like truck or some ship

402
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 2: on a dog and trained the dragon right and then,

403
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 2: and but the ship would keep getting loose because then

404
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 2: it used the chain to break the thing the chain

405
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 2: was attached to, so it still would get loose. So

406
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:43,120
Speaker 2: then he built a fucking like fence that was only

407
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:46,159
Speaker 2: around the dog, like the had a top to it.

408

475
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:22,680
Speaker 1: there just wasn't anything. We sold home security systems. It

476
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 1: was even a daily show. I got them for a

477
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 1: couple of shirts them shirts and stamps.

478
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, for sure. So I've stolen uh, supply office

479
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:34,920

480
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 2: that's coming with me, you know what I mean, just

481
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 2: going there be like notebook, you know, don't get these,

482
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 2: let me get this white out or whatever. So obviously

483
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 2: that kind of stuff. And Wendy's I used to steal

484
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 2: the chicken sandwich and you know that because they are

485
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 2: real hard on count noch n See. I had a plan.

486
00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:59,880
Speaker 2: I made a whole sandwich, So I would I would

487
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 2: get my boys to make a sandwich on the line.

488
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:05,920
Speaker 2: But obviously, if it's not your break and you didn't

489
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 2: because you have to pay for your food to win

490
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 2: youse on break, you can't just like take a break

491
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 2: and get free food. So what I would do is

492
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 2: or act like we ordered the sandwich, make it, cut

493
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:20,920
Speaker 2: it in the four pieces, wrap each piece individually, and

494
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 2: then we would hide them around the restaurant. So when

495
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:26,960
Speaker 2: we did our chores, so like it's like, hey, take

496
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,159
Speaker 2: out the trash, I got a sandwich back there, you

497
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying. Oh you go to.

498
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, man, you could get like.

499
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,159
Speaker 2: Two three chicken sandwiches a shift. If you knew you

500
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying, You played it right, you and

501
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 2: your boys. So definitely used to do that. Another thing

502
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:46,200
Speaker 2: with the chicken sandwiches too, the grilled chicken sandwich for

503
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 2: the breast. It always got this one piece that's just

504
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 2: on every sandwich. It's just like this one piece that's

505
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 2: to the side. Just cut that off. Yeah, just cut

506
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 2: that loaf that's mine, you know what I'm saying a

507
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 2: little bit for u. Like we used to.

508
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 4: We used to get it like they used to make

509
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 4: orders that were like fucked up and something like.

510
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:11,400
Speaker 2: Yeah that yeah, fuck up order on purpose. They said

511
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 2: what they say, pickles all my bad dog, that's mine.

512
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 2: Now another thing on break. I used to know this

513
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:23,920
Speaker 2: dude that could by using our discount on break, he

514
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:27,119
Speaker 2: would invent sandwiches. And to this day he made the

515
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:30,399
Speaker 2: greediest sandwich. I've ever heard of a double.

516
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 1: Lot of sandwiches getting invented.

517
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 2: It has to be and I've never seen this sandwich.

518
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 2: For the record, this is in any fast food. It's

519
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:42,360
Speaker 2: just too greedy. But double chicken sandwich is what he made.

520
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:44,680
Speaker 2: He used to make a double so you like, you

521
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 2: have a double cheeseburger down, yeah, but but it was

522
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:53,960
Speaker 2: a sandwich with two chicken rests like in the sandwich

523
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 2: it was like you even get your mouth around there,

524
00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:01,440
Speaker 2: like but he was ordered and ship everyone in the

525
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:03,920
Speaker 2: line was just looking at him like what the fuck

526
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 2: is wrong with you? He was like, yeah, let me

527
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 2: get a double chicken. It's like there's no button for

528
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 2: double chicken. Just telling me we don't even have a

529
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 2: button for a chicken breast. It's just chicken sandwich or

530
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,399
Speaker 2: not chicken sandwich and he made them put it in.

531
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 2: So but that's all that shit was greedy.

532
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 1: I was a I was a food runner. This is

533
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 1: gonna be disgusting, but I just want you to know

534
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 1: that this is a pre COVID scam that I'm informing

535
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 1: y'all about. I don't want you to judge me. I

536
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 1: only worked food after the after the home security job.

537
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 1: I also starved at that one. So I only worked

538
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:43,920
Speaker 1: food service until I got into radio. I was like,

539
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 1: I'm only working food because I know I'll eat for

540
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 1: free or figure out a way to. I'm gonna eat

541
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 1: good at least once a day, once a week. I mean,

542
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 1: you know, one meal a day is guaranteed.

543
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:55,680
Speaker 3: So I was.

544
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 1: I was a food porter at a rehab hospital in Birmingham,

545
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 1: in High Schoo and so we take the food trays

546
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:05,640
Speaker 1: around to all of the patients and then we come

547
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 1: back in an hour and pick up all the food trays.

548
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 1: It got to a point, don't judge me on what

549
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 1: I'm about to say to you. It got to a

550
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 1: point where you knew which patients based during their age

551
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 1: and their physical whatever their ailment was. I know whether

552
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 1: or not you're gonna eat, Nigga, you just had such

553
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:31,440
Speaker 1: and such surgery that requires blah blah blah liquid dye.

554
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:35,920
Speaker 1: So on the food forms, on the food forms that

555
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 1: you know that the nurses fell out. Bring miss bring

556
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 1: miss Jenny liquefied green peas. I would bring her a

557
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:48,119
Speaker 1: motherfucking country fried steak and mashed potatoes and carrots. I

00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:51,159
Speaker 1: bring her. Shouldn't say, have the liquefied green peas, right,

559
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:55,159
Speaker 1: But I know that's all Miss Jenny gonna eat, right,

560
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:58,199
Speaker 1: And so on the comeback, so on, the comeback an

00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 1: I knew which trade was my trade with the country

565
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 1: fried steak, but the nurses thought I was just eating

566
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:24,159
Speaker 1: random scraps from every room. And I just let and

567
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 1: one of the nurses put me to the side, Baby,

568
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:26,960

00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 2: Because hey, now you know what's crazy is I feel

572
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 2: like Pilford food tastes better. It tastes better than food

573
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 2: you pay for.

574
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 1: I don't know why it is stolen clothes fit better.

575
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 1: Let me tell you about that.

576
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 2: I've never I've never had a chicken sandwich from Wendy's

577
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 2: that was better than the ones I stole.

578
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 1: I'm just saying there was there when we worked at

579
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 1: When I worked at Subway there, they're like Wendy's where

580
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 1: they count everything. They count the cups, they count the bread.

581
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 1: But they would give you like when you're proofing the

582
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 1: bread to putting the baker. If you overproof the bread,

583
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 1: that counts its waste and it goes out, it's registered.

584
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 1: It's burnt bread in the in the bread count So

585
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 1: they weren't. This is back in the nineties where Subway

586
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 1: wasn't counting, like they count hand down to the slice.

587
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 1: Now the shit is wild and Subway that it's all

588
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 1: pre weighted and all that shit. Back in the day,

589
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 1: you was free handed chicken for heaters. It wasn't no scale.

590
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 1: You was just sprinkling chicken til you thought it was

591
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 1: enough chicken.

592
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 2: And everybody loves a nigga with a heavy hand all

593
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 2: it's the best. Like, there's nothing like it right now, Codova.

594
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 2: Only place like it now is burrito places where you

Speaker 1: You know, you do your thing, Yeah, order a veggie,

598
00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 1: and then I just buried chicken for heating me. This

599
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 1: was like, this is when the steak and cheese first

600
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 1: dropped to ninety four. I was fucking hiling that shit on.

601
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:10,200

00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 2: I realized the alcohol the beer works. Oh it just

625
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 2: they didn't turn it off.

626
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:27,120
Speaker 3: You just can't.

627
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:33,720
Speaker 2: You can't technically sell it. So yeah, so you know,

628
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 2: and you know a couple, you know, these these white

629
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 2: folks and like, make you sure you can't sell on

630
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 2: me your beer? And I'm just like, bro, it's say

631
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:43,480
Speaker 2: we can't sell it. I paid ten dollars in cash.

632
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 2: And that's when I got the bright ass idea of like,

633
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 2: well maybe, I mean if it's in cash, I mean

634
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:52,080
Speaker 2: it's not like it's i mean, who's counting, but they

635
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 2: count the cups. But so so I'm just I'm like,

636
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 2: make a couple. And then and then it arises to

637
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 2: me and I'm like, fuck the cup, you know what

638
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 2: I'm saying. So I'm like Ringi's up as SODA's I'm

639
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 2: gonna keep the change. Like it became a whole thing.

640
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:11,520
Speaker 2: The fucking word got out. The word got out. The

641
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 2: line in our concession got so long. I was like, hey,

642
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:18,040
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go work at the concession down here. I

643
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 2: had to leave because they was gonna bust us for

644
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 2: selling alcohol, which is totally, yeah, totally that's all the

645
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:28,000
Speaker 2: Texas were, and these white people wasn't cool about it

646
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 2: at all. It was like, hey, brother, let me you

647
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying.

648
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 3: It's like for the alcohol.

649
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 2: It was like, hey, man, I hear y'all got beer.

650
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:37,040
Speaker 2: I was like, you know what I think I'm I

651
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 2: think i'm down there. I don't even know why I'm

652
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 2: at this stand. And I left the fuck out of there.

653
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 1: When I sold sodas at Alabama games, I never did it.

654
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 1: So sodas were a dollar fifty and you had to

655
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 1: you had a trade of twenty and an average game,

656
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 1: you could sell eight trays. If you're really hustling and

657
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:56,000
Speaker 1: you're moving your ass right and you get you keep

658
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 1: your tips, and that was that was the deal. Some

659
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 1: of the other kids had got the bright idea to

660
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 1: go to Kinko's. When you know you're wearing a button

661
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 1: that says one fifty, they made buttons that said two fifty,

662
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 1: and so when you get past the ushers and the

663
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 1: police who are supposed to watch us. When you get

664
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:17,240
Speaker 1: up in the stands, you swap your button real fast.

665
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 3: Right, because they don't want to go there.

666
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 1: And now you're making an extra dollar per drink, So

667
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 1: now you're making an extra twenty dollars per tray times

668
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 1: eight track. Then motherfuckers used to be leaving with a grit.

669
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:31,520
Speaker 1: Now if you got caught, you got kicked out, your

670
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:33,560
Speaker 1: band from the stadium, feb you can never steal again.

671
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 1: But when you're fourteen, right, you got a chance to

672
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:39,840
Speaker 1: leave with an extra undred forty hundred right ship.

673
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, gone ahead and get me there. Oh I can't

674
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:45,280
Speaker 2: come back. They got me. But I want to get these.

675
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 1: First first jobs as a team or for stealing exactly, Reggie.

676
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 2: Really it's really teaching you how to steal, you know,

677
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:55,480
Speaker 2: if you look at it that way, it's teaching how

678
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 2: to get by the capitalist society that's essentially stealing from

679
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:00,240
Speaker 2: your labor because they ain't paying you what you work,

680
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 2: so you might as well learn to get you sound too.

681
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 1: The trick, though, with that phase of your life is

682
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:11,719
Speaker 1: knowing when to get out of it or seeing it

683
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 1: happen to someone and having enough sense to go, oh,

684
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:19,759
Speaker 1: that could be me too, I should stop doing. And

685
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:23,080
Speaker 1: that's how I got caught up because I ignored every

686
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:27,720
Speaker 1: fucking red light that I ever fucking tell.

687
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 2: The people, tell the people about how you got caught

688
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 2: up again? And I know, I know you the.

689
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:36,320
Speaker 1: So the long and short of it is that we

690
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 1: got a hold of some credit cards and so we

691
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 1: would go to Dyllot's in Tallahassee and I would just

692
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:43,399
Speaker 1: buy clothes and sell them on campus. I was a dude.

693
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 1: They come to me if you want to get fresher,

694
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 1: you want to PlayStation games. That was my that was

695
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:51,879
Speaker 1: my thing. And so before that that, I never told

696
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:57,840
Speaker 1: you this ride the first, first, first hustle, the first

697
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:00,400
Speaker 1: because when you get when you get to college, everybody

698
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 1: got a scam, right. Some niggas cut hair, some niggas

699
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:05,479
Speaker 1: sell weed. There was niggas that would go to pawn shops.

700
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:07,319
Speaker 1: They would buy up all the DVDs and they would

701
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:10,399
Speaker 1: have basically run a Blockbuster video in their dorm room

702
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 1: and rent movies for a dollar. So everybody had to think.

703
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:18,799
Speaker 1: I overslept for a midterm freshman year, and I run

704
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 1: the class and the professor's like, well, why are you late?

705
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:26,160
Speaker 1: And I go, well, you know, you know, I just

706
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 1: got back in town from my grandma funeral. And I

707
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 1: don't know why that was the first thing to come

708
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:32,279
Speaker 1: out of my mouth, but I was just like, I'm late.

709
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:33,920
Speaker 1: He goes, oh, well, that's easy. If you've been to

710
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:37,360
Speaker 1: a funeral, just present the funeral excuse to the registrar

711
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:39,400
Speaker 1: and you'll get an official excuse and I'll allow you

712
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:42,800
Speaker 1: to make it the exam and I'll go I'll be

713
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:47,719
Speaker 1: right back. And I went back to my room and

714
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:50,879
Speaker 1: I went on AOL personal since how long ago as well,

715
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:54,200
Speaker 1: and I just found a picture of a random seventy

716
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 1: year old black woman who's looking for love, and I

717
00:35:57,360 --> 00:35:59,880
Speaker 1: copy pasted her ass and the Microsoft.

718
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 3: Work and.

719
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:06,440
Speaker 1: I proceeded to make a funeral program. I'm gonna prolific typle,

720
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:08,800
Speaker 1: and I know all the fonts and the calligraphies. I

721
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 1: put the little praying Jesus hands.

722
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:11,239
Speaker 3: Come on.

723
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:15,800
Speaker 1: And had a whole run of show, and I typed

724
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:19,720
Speaker 1: out the whole eulogy. And you know, miss ler Borough

725
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:22,880
Speaker 1: Wood or whatever the point, you're doing more work.

726
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:26,760
Speaker 2: You did more work to just going to class.

727
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 1: So I print up. So now it's a full sized

728
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:35,520
Speaker 1: funeral program for pages. You got to reduce it, put

729
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:38,360
Speaker 1: it on that emotional paper. So I go to Kinko's and.

730
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 4: I just.

731
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:44,279
Speaker 1: You know the you know them funeral programs. It's like

732
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:45,239
Speaker 1: whitish brand.

733
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 3: It's it's that hard paper. It's it's a little bit

734
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:52,719
Speaker 3: thick of the regular paper. Yes, but it ain't cardboard.

735
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:55,640
Speaker 2: Yes, Oh my god, this is more work than taking

736
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:57,880
Speaker 2: the final example. Whatever the fuck it was?

737
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:02,480
Speaker 1: So so my roommate is seeing me do all this,

738
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:05,640
Speaker 1: Nigga that never worked. You're making a funeral program to

739
00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:09,320
Speaker 1: make up an exam. Nigga, you failing the class anyway?

740
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:10,160
Speaker 1: What the fuck?

741
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:10,239
Speaker 4: You?

742
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:12,800
Speaker 1: Mid term one't th same you? And I'm like, I

743
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:14,800
Speaker 1: just I just got to know it. I got to

744
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:17,440
Speaker 1: know if I could do this, Bro, I'm just faking.

745
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 2: You making executive decisions like now.

746
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:26,360
Speaker 1: The water service, hold, the gods are changing hands.

747
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:29,880
Speaker 2: Did you have hand marks?

748
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 3: Yes?

749
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:32,560
Speaker 4: Did you have to change the names and put your

750
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:34,920
Speaker 4: family members names in there? Add your name in there so.

751
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,360
Speaker 1: They know that, yes, because your name has to be

752
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 1: in the program, because I'm at FAM. You the policy

753
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:42,360
Speaker 1: was that your name has to physically be in a program.

754
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 1: It was one of the bereave or whatever it's called.

755
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:49,839
Speaker 1: So I go to Kinko's and I reduce it down,

756
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:53,000
Speaker 1: and now I got my funeral program in my roommate.

757
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:56,160
Speaker 1: It's like, you're a lunatic. That's not gonna work. And

758
00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:59,399
Speaker 1: I go to the motherfucking registrar's office and I put

759
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:01,799
Speaker 1: that bitch on the counter and I went and made

760
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 1: up my mid term. I still flunked it.

761
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:14,359
Speaker 2: They should have gave you at least like a seed

762
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:17,359
Speaker 2: for the thing, for the work that you did.

763
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:23,719
Speaker 1: I still flunked the mid term. But then word gets

764
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 1: out over at Florida State about what I've accomplished.

765
00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:30,319
Speaker 2: Okay, And so.

766
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:34,560
Speaker 1: That was the first time I learned when you do dirt,

767
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:36,799
Speaker 1: you meet all the other people you meet scammer. When

768
00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:40,719
Speaker 1: you scam, you meet other adjacent scammers. It's just it's inevitable.

769
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:43,759
Speaker 1: These niggas hit me up at Florida State, Man, can

Speaker 2: You already got you already got your blueprint.

Speaker 1: Now you just need to change at the template.

775
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, you got it.

933
00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:10,719
Speaker 1: everybody I know who smoked weed smoked cigarettes. And I'm

934
00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:14,680
Speaker 1: definitely afraid of getting addicted to tobacco because I'm addicted

935
00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:17,000
Speaker 1: to soda. Like that's always that's been my yo, Yo.

938
00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:27,400
Speaker 1: of this ship. But we had. I grew up, so

939
00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:30,239
Speaker 1: I grew up two doors down from a crackhouse, and

940
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:33,120
Speaker 1: not a crackhouse in the sense of where people come

941
00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:35,239
Speaker 1: to do the crack, but this is where people come

942
00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:40,000
Speaker 1: to purchase it and then take a carry out crackhouse like.

943
00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:42,239
Speaker 2: It was takeout. It was takeout on.

944
00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:44,320
Speaker 3: We don't.

Speaker 3: Okay, you're ten, all right, here's your order.

951
00:47:05,120 --> 00:47:08,839

Speaker 1: was into the backyard of the crackhouse. So we always

958
00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:28,880
Speaker 1: had to go to the front door of the crackhouse

959
00:47:28,920 --> 00:47:30,440
Speaker 1: from time to time because he didn't want us in

992
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:07,480

993
00:49:08,239 --> 00:49:10,719
Speaker 1: we played. We played in the city school system, right,

994
00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:15,160
Speaker 1: and so you know, black folks, for the most part,

995
00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:19,719
Speaker 1: the school systems don't black people fuck with baseball but black.

996
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:23,040
Speaker 1: But baseball is not marketed or given a fuck about

997
00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:27,960
Speaker 1: by predominantly black school systems. Baseball two ball and ain't

998
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:30,680
Speaker 1: no dunking. I get it, I get it. So we

999
00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:32,640
Speaker 1: played a lot of other We were the only school

1000
00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:35,520
Speaker 1: that took baseball seriously. So we played a lot of

1001
00:49:35,719 --> 00:49:39,560
Speaker 1: black high schools that did not take baseball serious. These

1002
00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:44,319
Speaker 1: things show up in jeans to play baseball, and that's

1003
00:49:44,440 --> 00:49:45,800
Speaker 1: just what it was gonna be. I guess we're just

1004
00:49:45,840 --> 00:49:49,239
Speaker 1: playing these niggas and jeans, and sometimes they would like

1005
00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:51,920
Speaker 1: the baseball teams at other schools was basically football and

1006
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:54,360
Speaker 1: basketball and niggas who was just looking to stay in shape,

1007
00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:58,080
Speaker 1: so they would show up to the games drunk. They

1008
00:49:58,120 --> 00:50:00,640
Speaker 1: would be in the parking lot drinking mad hok and shit,

1009
00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:03,920
Speaker 1: and these niggas would beat the brakes off of us

1010
00:50:04,560 --> 00:50:10,320
Speaker 1: drunk and and that's the first time I thought about alcohol,

1011
00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:15,320
Speaker 1: but it was more from a performance enhancing about I

00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:03,200
Speaker 4: like bro saying if you do certain things, certain people

1092
00:54:03,200 --> 00:54:04,320

Speaker 3: where to get the drugs.

1095
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:09,000
Speaker 2: I didn't know what it was.

Speaker 1: Like?

1099
00:54:12,880 --> 00:54:16,520
Speaker 3: So I was oblivious to drugs, like I didn't know.

1100
00:54:16,760 --> 00:54:19,160
Speaker 2: On the their commercials, they always made it sound like

00:54:19,920 --> 00:54:24,200
Speaker 2: like drugs don't sell themselves, like like like the way

1102

1108
00:54:39,040 --> 00:54:40,719

Speaker 1: really function on for real, for real, Like you might

1131
00:56:03,040 --> 00:56:07,919
Speaker 1: function for a good two years of performance enhancing from crack,

1132
00:56:08,200 --> 00:56:11,880
Speaker 1: right and then after that it's like Dwight Gooding and

1174
00:58:04,440 --> 00:58:06,880
Speaker 2: great house as well. And then black kads, it's like

1175
00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:09,240
Speaker 2: it's like that exists, but it might not be as

00:58:09,320 --> 00:58:11,160
Speaker 2: close to you and your family, Like you don't have

1177
00:58:11,240 --> 00:58:13,920

1178
00:58:14,000 --> 00:58:16,360
Speaker 2: invented viagra and this motherfucker lives in the mansion. It's

1179
00:58:16,680 --> 00:58:19,240
Speaker 2: it's always like we do have that uncle that robbed

1180
00:58:19,280 --> 00:58:22,400
Speaker 2: the bank, let's go see him and then that'll teach you.

1181
00:58:22,640 --> 00:58:28,600
Speaker 1: You know with that shit. I fucking I fucking struggle

1182
00:58:29,280 --> 00:58:35,800
Speaker 1: with giving my son the gift of blind ambition or

1183
00:58:36,120 --> 00:58:39,640
Speaker 1: making him aware of all of the potholes that he

1184
00:58:39,760 --> 00:58:44,240
Speaker 1: has to navigate. And I don't know. I don't know,

1185
00:58:44,400 --> 00:58:48,240
Speaker 1: like because you're in a race. So the preschool for

1186
00:58:48,480 --> 00:58:51,240
Speaker 1: Black History Month, they was teaching him about black heroes

1187
00:58:51,320 --> 00:58:53,640
Speaker 1: and all of this shit, and it was fine, but

1188
00:58:54,160 --> 00:58:56,919
Speaker 1: part of me was like, do I want him knowing

1189
00:58:56,960 --> 00:58:58,160
Speaker 1: about racism yet?

1190
00:58:58,640 --> 00:58:58,840
Speaker 6: Yeah?

1191
00:58:59,320 --> 00:59:02,840
Speaker 1: Or should he know about racism because they wasn't like,

1192
00:59:02,920 --> 00:59:05,520
Speaker 1: they weren't like surface level. They was like really getting

1193
00:59:05,560 --> 00:59:08,320
Speaker 1: And then doctor King was in jail and they wrote

1194
00:59:08,320 --> 00:59:15,320
Speaker 1: a letter. I'm like, he's four man King and like,

1195
00:59:16,640 --> 00:59:18,440
Speaker 1: but I ain't never had the process or ship like

1196
00:59:18,480 --> 00:59:21,040
Speaker 1: that before, because you know, my parents didn't. My parents

1197
00:59:21,080 --> 00:59:24,040
Speaker 1: were cutting dry. You know, they were civil rights soldiers.

1198
00:59:24,080 --> 00:59:25,840
Speaker 1: This what's going on. You need to be ready for

1199
00:59:25,920 --> 00:59:31,200
Speaker 1: the white folk. The drugs is out there. But my son,

1200
00:59:31,360 --> 00:59:33,880
Speaker 1: I'm like, nah, bro, you should just know you can

1201
00:59:33,960 --> 00:59:37,360
Speaker 1: do whatever. But I also don't want the first time

1202
00:59:37,440 --> 00:59:40,800
Speaker 1: he hears nigga to come from a white person, not me,

1203
00:59:41,880 --> 00:59:43,680
Speaker 1: giving him the nigga prep. But when do you start

1204
00:59:43,760 --> 00:59:46,200
Speaker 1: teaching the racism prep courses?

1205
00:59:46,320 --> 00:59:50,120
Speaker 2: Because the world, the world, the world sees your kid,

1206
00:59:50,400 --> 00:59:52,240
Speaker 2: Like if your kid is four right now, the world

1207
00:59:52,360 --> 00:59:54,000
Speaker 2: to your kid is ten, you know what I mean?

1208
00:59:54,560 --> 00:59:56,840
Speaker 1: So like they're a grown man by first grade, they

1209
00:59:57,520 --> 00:59:58,160
Speaker 1: five year olds.

1210
00:59:58,200 --> 01:00:02,360
Speaker 3: Bro, Once you are no longer cute, you're grown, like

1211
01:00:02,440 --> 01:00:03,280
Speaker 3: if that makes sense.

1212
01:00:03,400 --> 01:00:05,760
Speaker 2: Once ship, even if you're still cute, you ain't cute

1213
01:00:05,800 --> 01:00:08,320
Speaker 2: to us. Lock that nigger up, like they don't give

1214
01:00:08,360 --> 01:00:08,720
Speaker 2: a fuck.

1215
01:00:08,840 --> 01:00:10,640
Speaker 4: And when I mean no longer cute, I mean outside

1216
01:00:10,680 --> 01:00:14,280
Speaker 4: of diapers, Like diapers are considered cute, like once you, ah, motherfucker, you.

1217
01:00:14,280 --> 01:00:16,440
Speaker 3: Can walk and go somewhere and grab shit. Oh, you

1218
01:00:16,520 --> 01:00:18,080
Speaker 3: are no longer killed to us, right?

1219
01:00:18,240 --> 01:00:21,480
Speaker 2: So what's interesting about that though? Like because my parents

1220
01:00:21,880 --> 01:00:24,760
Speaker 2: they weren't like civil rights activists or anything, but my

1221
01:00:24,880 --> 01:00:29,120
Speaker 2: parents were definitely on some like listen the ship they

1222
01:00:29,160 --> 01:00:32,320
Speaker 2: teach you at school, that's cute, that's not enough, ye.

1223
01:00:32,680 --> 01:00:35,800
Speaker 2: So and I was the opposite. Roy I got, I got.

1224
01:00:35,880 --> 01:00:38,200
Speaker 2: I remember. I remember we went to the Black Book

1225
01:00:38,280 --> 01:00:43,920
Speaker 2: Fair and my mom bought what color was Jesus Black?

1226
01:00:44,040 --> 01:00:47,280
Speaker 2: The spoilerlert black. I read that it was a small book,

1227
01:00:47,360 --> 01:00:49,160
Speaker 2: but the answer was black.

1228
01:00:49,040 --> 01:00:50,600
Speaker 1: Y'all, how old were you?

1229
01:00:51,200 --> 01:00:53,920
Speaker 2: I must have been like eight. I couldn't have been

1230
01:00:53,960 --> 01:00:57,080
Speaker 2: that old, like I because I just like the book

1231
01:00:57,240 --> 01:00:59,760
Speaker 2: was so thin. It was like for a children's book

1232
01:00:59,760 --> 01:01:02,840
Speaker 2: based it was. It was like maybe fifty pages and

1233
01:01:02,960 --> 01:01:05,200
Speaker 2: it was just like black and turn the next pack

1234
01:01:05,320 --> 01:01:06,760

1235
01:01:06,840 --> 01:01:09,880
Speaker 2: what niggas have. Okay, skin lebrons knew, you know what

1236
01:01:09,960 --> 01:01:14,080
Speaker 2: skin lebrons think about this, So that joint and then

1237
01:01:14,120 --> 01:01:17,800
Speaker 2: they got me before the Mayflower was about Africans coming

1238
01:01:17,840 --> 01:01:24,600
Speaker 2: to America before the white people just discovered America and

1239
01:01:24,720 --> 01:01:28,600
Speaker 2: actually having trade with America with Native Americans and shit

1240
01:01:28,720 --> 01:01:31,560
Speaker 2: that I'm just like, like, I didn't They didn't teach

1241
01:01:31,640 --> 01:01:34,320
Speaker 2: us any of this in school ever, so they just

1242
01:01:34,440 --> 01:01:38,280
Speaker 2: had me on a whole separate educational track. So I mean,

1243
01:01:38,400 --> 01:01:41,480
Speaker 2: I definitely didn't get the luxury of being like, uh,

1244
01:01:41,920 --> 01:01:44,560
Speaker 2: it felt like I was born in there. It was like, Nigga,

1245
01:01:44,600 --> 01:01:48,439
Speaker 2: you are black. This is important because the I guess

1246
01:01:48,480 --> 01:01:51,240
Speaker 2: the other fear would be do you give your kid

1247
01:01:51,880 --> 01:01:54,120
Speaker 2: you try to do one of those like colorblind, Like

1248
01:01:54,160 --> 01:01:55,840
Speaker 2: I'm a raising kid. I don't want to deal with

1249
01:01:55,880 --> 01:01:58,400
Speaker 2: distress this other shit. And then you get that kid

1250
01:01:58,520 --> 01:02:02,960
Speaker 2: that's just like he officer. Like, you get that kid

1251
01:02:03,040 --> 01:02:05,680
Speaker 2: that just like walks up and just like what I

1252
01:02:07,400 --> 01:02:08,520
Speaker 2: see this Confederate flag?

1253
01:02:08,560 --> 01:02:09,160
Speaker 3: What's wrong with that?

1254
01:02:09,400 --> 01:02:11,720
Speaker 2: I mean, it's it's a colorful flag. You're like, this

1255
01:02:11,960 --> 01:02:15,280
Speaker 2: motherfucker get killed. So I can see the having a

1256
01:02:15,400 --> 01:02:17,360
Speaker 2: pick that that time, and when do you do that?

1257
01:02:17,400 --> 01:02:20,440
Speaker 2: Because you kind of are putting the weight of the

1258
01:02:20,480 --> 01:02:22,800
Speaker 2: world on your kids shoulders, like a heart.

1259
01:02:24,640 --> 01:02:28,280
Speaker 1: Part of why we have the conversations about dogs is

1260
01:02:28,400 --> 01:02:30,680
Speaker 1: so that I can prepare my sound for the conversation

1261
01:02:30,880 --> 01:02:36,160
Speaker 1: about cops, because it's it's essentially the same concept. Some

1262
01:02:36,360 --> 01:02:39,720
Speaker 1: I'm cool, someone might bite your motherfucking head off, bro,

1263
01:02:40,440 --> 01:02:43,640
Speaker 1: And you can try to read and tell the difference

1264
01:02:43,880 --> 01:02:48,560
Speaker 1: between the two. But here's some general behavioral courses of

1265
01:02:48,720 --> 01:02:50,560
Speaker 1: action to ensure you don't get bit.

1266
01:02:50,880 --> 01:02:59,160
Speaker 2: Put your hand up, moving real slow, like that's literally

1267
01:02:59,240 --> 01:02:59,880
Speaker 2: what I'm trying to do.

1268
01:03:00,280 --> 01:03:02,800
Speaker 3: Like the same rules kind of apply. And for like

1269
01:03:02,920 --> 01:03:05,240
Speaker 3: me and Roger, I was kind of almost opposite.

1270
01:03:05,280 --> 01:03:07,560
Speaker 4: I knew I was black, you know, my family called

1271
01:03:07,560 --> 01:03:09,680
Speaker 4: me and niggas, So we didn't run away from race

1272
01:03:09,760 --> 01:03:11,960
Speaker 4: and me being black, Like I wasn't that type of

1273
01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:14,080
Speaker 4: a black person where we was completely cut a blind,

1274
01:03:14,400 --> 01:03:17,840
Speaker 4: but a lot of the background and the history and

1275
01:03:18,280 --> 01:03:19,959
Speaker 4: all the shit that we went and taught in school.

1276
01:03:20,000 --> 01:03:23,760
Speaker 3: I learned that as an adult. So sometimes I get

1277
01:03:23,800 --> 01:03:28,840
Speaker 3: a little upset when all these I'm not.

1278
01:03:28,840 --> 01:03:31,200
Speaker 4: Trying fun with all these these niggas have been walke

1279
01:03:31,240 --> 01:03:33,440
Speaker 4: since they've been too and they've been you know, their

1280
01:03:33,520 --> 01:03:34,160
Speaker 4: parents came in.

1281
01:03:34,280 --> 01:03:37,080
Speaker 3: It was like, Nigga, it's Africa forever and here's yo koofin.

1282
01:03:37,360 --> 01:03:40,400
Speaker 4: Them niggas get on my fucking nerves because they act like,

1283
01:03:40,640 --> 01:03:44,080
Speaker 4: well I knew when I was fitting up this and

1284
01:03:44,160 --> 01:03:46,240
Speaker 4: that you were like, well, bitch, I didn't, So so

1285
01:03:46,360 --> 01:03:48,240
Speaker 4: don't beat me upside of the head because I'm learning

1286
01:03:48,360 --> 01:03:51,280
Speaker 4: at forty some shit that I probably should have learned younger,

1287
01:03:51,480 --> 01:03:53,120
Speaker 4: but my school system failed me.

1288
01:03:53,680 --> 01:03:57,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, like when Tusa was in all the TV shows

1289
01:03:57,600 --> 01:03:59,560
Speaker 2: and then you had all the people that's like we

1290
01:03:59,760 --> 01:04:03,840
Speaker 2: been known about Tulsa. Okay, let me tell you my

1339
01:06:39,160 --> 01:06:42,200
Speaker 1: get to just pivot into other ships. Like I don't

1340
01:06:42,280 --> 01:06:44,760

Speaker 1: while y'all selling razor blades Best Buy, stop it.

1343
01:06:52,440 --> 01:06:55,640
Speaker 2: I feel okay, so I'll think, I mean, I agree

1344
01:06:55,680 --> 01:06:57,680
Speaker 2: with you for the most part, but part of me

1345
01:06:57,800 --> 01:07:00,600
Speaker 2: feels like this is the judge that gave you the

1346
01:07:00,680 --> 01:07:03,600
Speaker 2: second chance. But with food, well, it's just like some

1347
01:07:03,760 --> 01:07:06,680
Speaker 2: niggas been wanting to make a fish sandwich at Popeye's

1348
01:07:06,760 --> 01:07:07,959
Speaker 2: for ten years.

1349
01:07:08,000 --> 01:07:11,720
Speaker 3: They that shit, but we don't sell fish.

1350
01:07:12,000 --> 01:07:15,760
Speaker 2: What's wrong with this? Mean pitches the same shit every meeting,

1351
01:07:15,960 --> 01:07:18,320
Speaker 2: and in the pandemic, they finally gave you home a

1352
01:07:18,480 --> 01:07:21,920
Speaker 2: chance to keep your head to the sky. I tried

1353
01:07:21,960 --> 01:07:24,479
Speaker 2: that sandwich, and I'm not gonna front. I hadn't tried

1354
01:07:24,520 --> 01:07:26,440
Speaker 2: to support just for my curiosity.

1355
01:07:27,200 --> 01:07:28,520
Speaker 3: This ship was good.

1356
01:07:28,680 --> 01:07:31,280
Speaker 2: It kind of justifies itself.

1357
01:07:31,480 --> 01:07:32,240
Speaker 1: After you eat it.

1358
01:07:32,400 --> 01:07:34,840
Speaker 2: But at the same time, I feel similar to the

1359
01:07:34,920 --> 01:07:37,640
Speaker 2: way of staying your lane. You know what I mean.

1360
01:07:37,720 --> 01:07:40,680
Speaker 2: I don't like piece of Hut. I don't like piece

1361
01:07:40,680 --> 01:07:42,959
Speaker 2: of Hut, Taco Bell Combos, you know what I'm saying.

1362
01:07:42,960 --> 01:07:44,160
Speaker 2: I don't like those restaurants.

1363
01:07:45,520 --> 01:07:48,680
Speaker 1: Here's my ultimate and this is how you know. I've

1364
01:07:48,760 --> 01:07:50,400
Speaker 1: eaten a lot of fast food on the road. This

1365
01:07:50,520 --> 01:07:54,280
Speaker 1: is my ultimate fish sandwich. Give me your patty from

1366
01:07:54,320 --> 01:07:58,800
Speaker 1: Burger King, give me my tartar sauce from Windy's, and

1367

Speaker 1: give me the file fish bread McDonald's filet of fish bread.

1368
01:08:03,840 --> 01:08:06,760
Speaker 1: That's the softest bread. I don't know why they don't

1369
01:08:06,840 --> 01:08:09,200
Speaker 1: use that bread for the hamburger, the bread for the hamper?

1370
01:08:09,480 --> 01:08:10,160
Speaker 2: What is that about?

1371
01:08:10,240 --> 01:08:11,440
Speaker 3: Ain't it the softest bread ever?

1372
01:08:12,640 --> 01:08:16,080
Speaker 1: It's Oh, oh my god, it's delicious. That's that's a

1373
01:08:16,200 --> 01:08:21,240
Speaker 1: good bread. The other thing I've done, I'm ashamed to say.

01:08:22,400 --> 01:08:25,200
Speaker 1: I got a I got a whopper. I got two

1375

Speaker 2: No, the sauce is not the same. They be fronting

1383
01:08:45,560 --> 01:08:47,320
Speaker 2: like it's the same. It's not the same. It's not

Speaker 2: that shit a Big Mac. That's not how that works.

1387
01:08:53,880 --> 01:08:59,920
Speaker 2: I worked back there, Okay, but yeah, I'm a.

1388
01:09:00,080 --> 01:09:01,920
Speaker 1: Try to fish sandwich man. I'm gonna try. I'm gonna

1389
01:09:01,920 --> 01:09:03,920
Speaker 1: try all this ship. You know, I have to like

1390
01:09:04,040 --> 01:09:06,240
Speaker 1: pick and choose my spots. Though. Like the one thing

1391
01:09:06,360 --> 01:09:09,680
Speaker 1: the pandemic showed me is that I do a lot

1392
01:09:09,800 --> 01:09:12,840
Speaker 1: of my bag eating on the road. Yes, I'm pretty

1393
01:09:12,920 --> 01:09:16,160
Speaker 1: decent in New York. You gotta fucking walk half the

1394
01:09:16,240 --> 01:09:19,920
Speaker 1: time in the city anyway, so it balances out. But

1395
01:09:20,880 --> 01:09:22,280
Speaker 1: when I when I get back up on the road

1396
01:09:22,320 --> 01:09:26,000
Speaker 1: this summer, after I take all the vacine, I'm taking

1397
01:09:26,040 --> 01:09:31,760
Speaker 1: all the vaccinations in wet nigga. All three give me all.

1398
01:09:32,280 --> 01:09:33,960
Speaker 2: We got our first shot, and I was just like,

1399
01:09:34,240 --> 01:09:37,800
Speaker 2: I was like first of six because I'm coming back

1400
01:09:38,000 --> 01:09:41,720
Speaker 2: next week. Y'all got what y'all got, durner next week? Okay, well,

1401
01:09:41,760 --> 01:09:43,200
Speaker 2: then let me know what time to show up.

1402
01:09:44,320 --> 01:09:46,320
Speaker 1: It's gonna be like it's gonna be like when I

1403
01:09:47,040 --> 01:09:49,479
Speaker 1: So I used to donate plasma in college when I

1404
01:09:49,520 --> 01:09:51,040
Speaker 1: had to this This was one of my when I

1405
01:09:51,120 --> 01:09:53,960
Speaker 1: had to finally go legit and had to start making money. Honestly,

1406
01:09:54,160 --> 01:09:57,920
Speaker 1: the wor and when you donate plasma, they would stamp

1407
01:09:57,960 --> 01:10:00,559
Speaker 1: your hand with the little UV joint because you could

1408
01:10:00,600 --> 01:10:02,479
Speaker 1: only donate twice a week, and they stamp you with

1409
01:10:02,600 --> 01:10:04,519
Speaker 1: UV to keep you from going to the other spot

1410
01:10:04,600 --> 01:10:07,599
Speaker 1: across town. But then I figured out if you put

1411
01:10:07,720 --> 01:10:10,760
Speaker 1: makeup foundation on your hand when they stamp you with

1412
01:10:10,840 --> 01:10:13,720
Speaker 1: the UV, it wipes right off. So you could go

1413
01:10:13,840 --> 01:10:17,040
Speaker 1: the next day and donate plasma across town. And you

1414
01:10:17,120 --> 01:10:19,080
Speaker 1: could just do the plasma four days in a row

1415
01:10:19,080 --> 01:10:22,120
Speaker 1: when you're supposed to do two, but your money. You

1416
01:10:22,160 --> 01:10:24,320
Speaker 1: need the money to do and they would and they

1417
01:10:24,320 --> 01:10:30,240
Speaker 1: would be looking at you like, wouldn't you gestion or no, gestion?

1418
01:10:33,479 --> 01:10:36,000
Speaker 1: May I have another one of your vaccines? Please?

1419
01:10:38,080 --> 01:10:40,840
Speaker 2: Did you? Did you ever do the Columbia house name.

1420
01:10:40,960 --> 01:10:43,040
Speaker 2: That's what we used to do. Sign up for the

1421
01:10:43,200 --> 01:10:46,479
Speaker 2: you know for a penny, and then we would just

1422
01:10:46,600 --> 01:10:49,280
Speaker 2: take the CDs. I picked all the hottest artists and

1423
01:10:49,360 --> 01:10:52,160
Speaker 2: then just go to the Pond Star and just sell

1424
01:10:52,240 --> 01:10:52,599
Speaker 2: them there.

1425
01:10:54,960 --> 01:10:59,320
Speaker 1: It felt like too much work. And also if you

1426
01:10:59,560 --> 01:11:03,960
Speaker 1: don't have an album that people want, you got to

1427
01:11:04,000 --> 01:11:06,000
Speaker 1: be ordering the hottest ship. That's what I did, Like,

1428
01:11:06,040 --> 01:11:08,360
Speaker 1: you would just have to order ten copies of all

1429
01:11:08,439 --> 01:11:08,960
Speaker 1: Lives on me.

1430
01:11:09,520 --> 01:11:11,639
Speaker 2: I would just keep signing up. I would just keep

1431
01:11:11,760 --> 01:11:15,040
Speaker 2: signing up for the hottest hip hop R and B

1432
01:11:15,200 --> 01:11:19,479

1468
01:13:11,920 --> 01:13:14,320
Speaker 2: the adrenaline of you might get shot in the parking lot.

1469
01:13:14,960 --> 01:13:17,960
Speaker 2: There's no combo that you can just get from a

1470
01:13:18,040 --> 01:13:18,960
Speaker 2: local spot like that.

1471
01:13:20,520 --> 01:13:24,840
Speaker 1: Shameless plug for my podcast, Roy's Job Fair. In the

1472
01:13:24,920 --> 01:13:28,320
Speaker 1: first episode, I spoke with the executive vice president of

1473
01:13:28,439 --> 01:13:32,680
Speaker 1: waffle House, his brother, Vicus Miller, who, before he got

1474
01:13:32,840 --> 01:13:36,439
Speaker 1: hired there, like as in management, had never even been

1475
01:13:36,520 --> 01:13:39,240
Speaker 1: inside of one. He went to more House and was like,

1476
01:13:39,439 --> 01:13:43,519
Speaker 1: oh shit, this is cool. Management. Let me run it.

1477
01:13:43,640 --> 01:13:45,719
Speaker 1: And so now he's like second or third in command.

1478
01:13:45,800 --> 01:13:47,880
Speaker 1: And I asked this, nay, straight up, I said, hey, man,

1479
01:13:47,960 --> 01:13:52,200
Speaker 1: tell me the truth. As a corporation waffle house, do

1480
01:13:52,400 --> 01:13:56,120
Speaker 1: you all watch the waffle house fight videos and then

1481
01:13:56,240 --> 01:14:00,680
Speaker 1: pop up on the internet and any one of them

1482
01:14:00,720 --> 01:14:06,600
Speaker 1: smooth brother, smirks. He gave me the corporate answer. But

1483
01:14:07,360 --> 01:14:10,160
Speaker 1: I speak, I speak corporate. So he was trying to say,

1484
01:14:10,200 --> 01:14:14,320
Speaker 1: he goes he goes up. We've seen some hits scratchers

1485
01:14:14,439 --> 01:14:15,240
Speaker 1: on the third ship.

1486
01:14:18,040 --> 01:14:18,240
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1487
01:14:18,280 --> 01:14:21,280
Speaker 2: I remember with Atlanta and our weight, me and my

1488
01:14:21,360 --> 01:14:24,439
Speaker 2: boys with Atlanta. See the uh it was a Hawks,

1489
01:14:24,760 --> 01:14:27,000
Speaker 2: this was one. It was a Hawks versus Paces. It

1490
01:14:27,080 --> 01:14:28,840
Speaker 2: was back when we didn't have an NBA team in

1491
01:14:28,960 --> 01:14:31,639
Speaker 2: Charlotte briefly, and so we just made a road trip

1492
01:14:32,040 --> 01:14:34,280
Speaker 2: and we stopped at like three in the morning at

1493
01:14:34,320 --> 01:14:37,280
Speaker 2: this waffle house in Atlanta, and I remember the waitress

1494
01:14:37,320 --> 01:14:42,320
Speaker 2: his name was spark Plug. That was just like like

1495
01:14:43,200 --> 01:14:47,519
Speaker 2: it's like like, I spark Plug, I'll be your strawnie

1496
01:14:47,520 --> 01:14:51,200

1497
01:14:51,320 --> 01:14:53,640
Speaker 2: his hose in the middle of the thing. It was

1498
01:14:53,720 --> 01:14:55,680
Speaker 2: just I was like, this is but you know what

1499
01:14:56,240 --> 01:14:58,560
Speaker 2: delicious as it was working.

1500
01:14:58,920 --> 01:15:02,280
Speaker 1: Waffle houses, the only place I've seen barefoot black people

1501
01:15:02,400 --> 01:15:02,880
Speaker 1: in public.

1502
01:15:07,200 --> 01:15:10,240
Speaker 3: Just started taking credit cards. Them niggas be cash only

1503
01:15:10,280 --> 01:15:10,960
Speaker 3: at the crack house.

1504
01:15:11,439 --> 01:15:14,639
Speaker 2: I feel like you work hard like I always see

1505
01:15:14,960 --> 01:15:18,360
Speaker 2: Roy doing something, like it's always some something. I know

1506
01:15:18,439 --> 01:15:21,679
Speaker 2: you got a TV show coming up, like it's Daily

1507
01:15:21,800 --> 01:15:27,280
Speaker 2: show podcast. Do you feel like you work harder now

1508
01:15:27,640 --> 01:15:29,640
Speaker 2: or do you? Were you working harder when you were

1509
01:15:29,760 --> 01:15:34,240
Speaker 2: like grinding at different like minimum wage type jobs and shit.

1510
01:15:37,479 --> 01:15:46,120
Speaker 1: Shit, I worked harder then, just on some physical day

1511
01:15:46,160 --> 01:15:50,559
Speaker 1: to day like I worked harder than Okay. So when

1512
01:15:50,600 --> 01:15:53,800
Speaker 1: I I graduate, I get back to Birmingham and oh one,

1513
01:15:54,160 --> 01:15:56,640
Speaker 1: I'm interning at the radio station. I don't want to

1514
01:15:56,680 --> 01:15:58,639
Speaker 1: lose that job, but I don't want to lose my roadwork.

1515
01:15:58,960 --> 01:16:01,280
Speaker 1: So if the gig was within five hours of Birmingham,

1516
01:16:01,400 --> 01:16:03,519
Speaker 1: I drove home after the show so I could be

1517
01:16:03,600 --> 01:16:07,400
Speaker 1: on air the next morning. So for about three years,

1518
01:16:07,520 --> 01:16:11,360
Speaker 1: my Monday, my Wednesday through Fridays were I was sleep

1519
01:16:11,520 --> 01:16:14,240
Speaker 1: three hours at the station from like three to six

1520
01:16:14,320 --> 01:16:17,479
Speaker 1: in the morning, do the show, drive to wherever I'm performing,

1521
01:16:17,760 --> 01:16:21,880
Speaker 1: sleep three hours, do that performance, then drive home through

1522
01:16:21,960 --> 01:16:22,680
Speaker 1: the thick of the night.

1523
01:16:22,960 --> 01:16:23,160
Speaker 3: Whoo.

1524
01:16:23,960 --> 01:16:27,800
Speaker 1: And that was the norm because I just wanted to

1525
01:16:27,920 --> 01:16:31,000
Speaker 1: grow right, but it didn't feel like work. But you

1526
01:16:31,080 --> 01:16:33,320
Speaker 1: look back on it, and I'm going go, I'm driving

1527
01:16:33,400 --> 01:16:35,639
Speaker 1: six hours on three hours sleep, and then I'm going

1528
01:16:35,720 --> 01:16:37,760
Speaker 1: back to the radio station and sleeping on the couch

1529
01:16:37,840 --> 01:16:39,760
Speaker 1: for three hours to wake up and run a show

1530
01:16:39,840 --> 01:16:43,160
Speaker 1: that eventually I ended up hosting a decade later, so

1531
01:16:43,720 --> 01:16:46,080
Speaker 1: one hundred percent worth it. And then when I was

1532
01:16:46,120 --> 01:16:49,000
Speaker 1: working week long gigs at comedy clubs, I would still

1533
01:16:49,040 --> 01:16:52,040
Speaker 1: work timp service jobs during the day, like this is

1534
01:16:52,080 --> 01:16:53,960
Speaker 1: back when comedy clubs was opened six days a week.

1535
01:16:54,040 --> 01:16:55,840
Speaker 1: Like shit used to be creazy, like in Charlotte, y'all

1536
01:16:55,880 --> 01:16:59,800
Speaker 1: us to have the club on Independence Comedy Zone, yep. Bro.

1537
01:17:00,120 --> 01:17:02,760
Speaker 1: I used to go down to Gastonia and just work

1538
01:17:02,840 --> 01:17:07,000
Speaker 1: construction just for the day, just because because I'm here

1539
01:17:07,120 --> 01:17:09,320
Speaker 1: all day, I ain't doing shit, so I may as

1540
01:17:09,360 --> 01:17:14,680
Speaker 1: well make some money. But now it's different because it's

1541
01:17:14,800 --> 01:17:18,960
Speaker 1: more stressful and there's more at stake, and the degree

1542
01:17:19,000 --> 01:17:21,639
Speaker 1: of difficulty has changed. Now you get to do everything

1543
01:17:21,720 --> 01:17:25,400
Speaker 1: you love. Okay, you're on the daily show. You have

1544
01:17:25,479 --> 01:17:28,360
Speaker 1: a podcast that you have to schedule and prep and

1545
01:17:28,439 --> 01:17:32,920
Speaker 1: do properly. You have an hour special that you have

1546
01:17:33,080 --> 01:17:35,880
Speaker 1: to write and get ready even though you haven't been

1547
01:17:35,920 --> 01:17:39,439
Speaker 1: on stage in a year because of COVID, and that

1548
01:17:39,560 --> 01:17:41,360
Speaker 1: needs to be ready by the end of the year.

1549
01:17:41,880 --> 01:17:46,599
Speaker 1: And also, yeah, congratulations, Fox wants to do your sitcom

1550
01:17:47,200 --> 01:17:49,360
Speaker 1: with Dennis Larry, So you have to find time to write.

1551
01:17:49,360 --> 01:17:51,439
Speaker 1: There you getting Oh yeah, nigga, you have a child,

1552
01:17:52,040 --> 01:17:54,639
Speaker 1: so go be your father. And you know what, there's

1553
01:17:54,640 --> 01:17:57,960
Speaker 1: still quality time because and you go. You just can't

1554
01:17:58,080 --> 01:18:02,160
Speaker 1: just work in the house. But you cannot let any

1555
01:18:02,280 --> 01:18:06,000
Speaker 1: one of those things fall because it feeds it great.

1556
01:18:06,080 --> 01:18:08,599
Speaker 1: Like bro, we did that. I think last time we talked,

1557
01:18:08,640 --> 01:18:12,400
Speaker 1: we was doing that Probation officeer pilot for Comedy Central,

1558
01:18:13,040 --> 01:18:15,160
Speaker 1: and so that ended up not going for a lot

1559
01:18:15,240 --> 01:18:19,160
Speaker 1: of other political and viacom merger reasons. We can get

1560
01:18:19,200 --> 01:18:22,600
Speaker 1: into it a later time, but I was able to

1561
01:18:22,720 --> 01:18:26,479
Speaker 1: do that show right, and we shot in Birmingham. We

1562
01:18:26,560 --> 01:18:30,799
Speaker 1: took a fucking We took a fucking comedy, a scripted

1563
01:18:31,160 --> 01:18:34,920
Speaker 1: TV show into Birmingham to rejuvenate film and television. We

1564
01:18:35,000 --> 01:18:38,280
Speaker 1: had ninety people on staff. Sixty of those people were

1565
01:18:38,560 --> 01:18:42,880
Speaker 1: Alabama residents, and I think seventy were people of color

1566
01:18:43,000 --> 01:18:46,920
Speaker 1: somewhere in there. Our entire cast was people of color.

1567
01:18:47,080 --> 01:18:50,960
Speaker 1: Like we hired nothing. But like, if I don't bust

1568
01:18:51,000 --> 01:18:53,560
Speaker 1: my ass into years leading up to that, then that

1569
01:18:53,800 --> 01:18:57,400
Speaker 1: doesn't create the opportunity to have the leverage to go

1570
01:18:57,479 --> 01:18:59,600
Speaker 1: to a network and go, trust me, we can do

1571
01:18:59,720 --> 01:19:03,479
Speaker 1: this Alabama. It won't get all fucked up. And then

1572
01:19:03,560 --> 01:19:06,080
Speaker 1: you can walk some shit to Alabama and shoot in

1573
01:19:06,160 --> 01:19:10,160
Speaker 1: the civil rights district, shoot in the same district where

1574
01:19:10,200 --> 01:19:13,240
Speaker 1: folks march and try to create opportunities for the young,

1575
01:19:13,280 --> 01:19:14,960
Speaker 1: and so they can at least see the problem with

1576
01:19:15,040 --> 01:19:18,040
Speaker 1: the South, bro, is that you ain't never seen the shit.

1577
01:19:18,880 --> 01:19:20,519
Speaker 1: You only see it on TV. You ain't never seen

1578
01:19:20,560 --> 01:19:22,040
Speaker 1: the shit in three D. So you don't think you

1579
01:19:22,120 --> 01:19:26,360
Speaker 1: can do that shit. You gotta see it. So yeah, hey, yeah,

1580
01:19:26,400 --> 01:19:30,040
Speaker 1: we shooting't a sitcom downtown. Yeah, bring them young niggas

1581
01:19:30,120 --> 01:19:31,639
Speaker 1: over there. I want to be in film and TV.

1582
01:19:31,760 --> 01:19:34,760
Speaker 1: Let him stand to the side, watch this all right? Cool? Click,

1583
01:19:35,920 --> 01:19:39,639
Speaker 1: And so there's a more at stake now, because now,

1584
01:19:39,920 --> 01:19:42,200
Speaker 1: all right, you got all these opportunities. Well, now I

1585
01:19:42,280 --> 01:19:44,880
Speaker 1: can help get other people shit green lit. I can

1586
01:19:44,960 --> 01:19:47,640
Speaker 1: try and ep something. I can try and hold the

1587
01:19:47,760 --> 01:19:50,880
Speaker 1: door open and sneak some more of us in through

1588
01:19:50,920 --> 01:19:53,840
Speaker 1: the back. But that means I gotta be on my shit. Right.

1589
01:19:55,439 --> 01:19:58,599
Speaker 1: That ain't as hard as working at a concrete factory

1590
01:19:58,760 --> 01:20:02,519
Speaker 1: in South Carolina every day, right, But it's a different

1591
01:20:02,600 --> 01:20:05,479
Speaker 1: type of stress. At least at the concrete factory. I knew,

1592
01:20:05,720 --> 01:20:07,920
Speaker 1: all right, put on a do rag so that the

1593
01:20:08,000 --> 01:20:10,000
Speaker 1: concrete d'st one getting your head and you don't have

1594
01:20:10,200 --> 01:20:12,759
Speaker 1: rock naps when you go walk on stage tonight.

1595
01:20:13,240 --> 01:20:17,639
Speaker 2: It feels like it feels like the difference, the difference

1596
01:20:18,680 --> 01:20:22,080
Speaker 2: in the it's almost like, uh, you go from depending

1597
01:20:22,120 --> 01:20:24,560
Speaker 2: on other people and depending on yourself the most, to

1598
01:20:24,680 --> 01:20:27,400
Speaker 2: other people depending on you to continue to have that

1599
01:20:27,640 --> 01:20:31,640
Speaker 2: same work ethic and just in different ways. And I

1600
01:20:31,680 --> 01:20:34,160
Speaker 2: always I always think about that when people talk about

1601
01:20:34,240 --> 01:20:38,000
Speaker 2: minimum wage and you know, so there's motherfuckers like against

1602
01:20:38,120 --> 01:20:40,960
Speaker 2: raising in this shit, and I'm always like, why for

1603
01:20:41,160 --> 01:20:44,920
Speaker 2: my personal even with what we do now, And people go,

1604
01:20:45,040 --> 01:20:48,320
Speaker 2: y'all got such a prolific podcast. I have never worked

1605
01:20:48,439 --> 01:20:52,800
Speaker 2: harder at anything than when I was at fucking McDonald's

1606
01:20:52,800 --> 01:20:55,200
Speaker 2: and a bus came and they just like, bust on

1607
01:20:55,280 --> 01:20:58,640
Speaker 2: the lot. We gotta feed eighty kids in a in

1608
01:20:58,760 --> 01:21:01,240
Speaker 2: thirty minutes or what. I've never worked harder than, never

1609
01:21:01,360 --> 01:21:04,320
Speaker 2: swear harder than that. No matter what I've done in life,

1610
01:21:04,320 --> 01:21:08,320
Speaker 2: without sports, anything, everything is goes back to like the

1611
01:21:08,520 --> 01:21:12,880
Speaker 2: panic I felt those days and all those jobs, you know,

1612
01:21:12,960 --> 01:21:15,680
Speaker 2: when I was a waiter, same you know, we got

1613
01:21:15,720 --> 01:21:18,720
Speaker 2: a table of twenty five. I bust my ass. And

1614
01:21:18,840 --> 01:21:21,599
Speaker 2: it's not that what I do now is in difficult,

1615
01:21:21,640 --> 01:21:25,240
Speaker 2: But I really do think if it wasn't for those

1616
01:21:25,320 --> 01:21:28,880
Speaker 2: original jobs, my skill, Like I put it this way,

1617
01:21:29,120 --> 01:21:31,240
Speaker 2: I can tell when someone hasn't ever done that kind.

1618
01:21:31,160 --> 01:21:33,760
Speaker 3: Of work immediately, I'm just like, oh, you know, I

1619

1666
01:24:05,280 --> 01:24:07,439
Speaker 2: like when people get mad at customer service or some shit,

1667

01:25:03,439 --> 01:25:07,160
Speaker 1: you and me, us the three of us, I mean,

1691
01:25:08,200 --> 01:25:11,200
Speaker 1: is that what we do now doesn't always feel like

1692
01:25:11,400 --> 01:25:15,920
Speaker 1: work because we have passionate about it. And so the

1693
01:25:16,080 --> 01:25:19,720
Speaker 1: McDonald's stuff felt like work because you didn't really give

1694
01:25:19,760 --> 01:25:24,200
Speaker 1: a fuck about like we used to. We used to

1695
01:25:24,240 --> 01:25:26,840
Speaker 1: have one of them outdoor music festivals in Birmingham called

1696
01:25:26,920 --> 01:25:30,960
Speaker 1: City Stages, and I got a job one weekend cleaning

1697
01:25:31,040 --> 01:25:34,320
Speaker 1: the trash cans from two am to eight am, and

1698
01:25:34,800 --> 01:25:36,920
Speaker 1: that's something of the hardest work. I feel like every

1699
01:25:37,280 --> 01:25:42,960
Speaker 1: everybody should either work in food service or outside for

1700
01:25:43,040 --> 01:25:43,360
Speaker 1: a year.

1701
01:25:44,360 --> 01:25:47,559
Speaker 4: Change change Your perspectives should be mandatory, yes.

1702
01:25:48,040 --> 01:25:51,120
Speaker 3: Or someone customer service, like like like a customer, you

1703
01:25:51,200 --> 01:25:51,479
Speaker 3: need to.

1704
01:25:51,560 --> 01:25:54,920
Speaker 2: Deal with the public. Because with the public, that's another thing,

1705
01:25:55,160 --> 01:25:56,960
Speaker 2: like not not the ship on the work post, because

1706
01:25:56,960 --> 01:25:58,800
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, power to people. But that

1707
01:25:58,960 --> 01:26:01,040
Speaker 2: was another thing I was like when people was like,

1708
01:26:01,240 --> 01:26:03,879
Speaker 2: what we need in this country, We're gonna get some socialism.

1709
01:26:03,920 --> 01:26:07,360
Speaker 2: I'm like, have you ever met people? I'm just I'm

1710
01:26:07,439 --> 01:26:11,200
Speaker 2: not saying these are great goals, but have you met

1711
01:26:11,240 --> 01:26:14,760
Speaker 2: these motherfuckers? Some of these motherfuckers power trip over you

1712
01:26:14,920 --> 01:26:18,080
Speaker 2: being there waiter, Like if a motherfucker will power trip

1713
01:26:18,240 --> 01:26:23,479
Speaker 2: over like this nigga gonna give me all this ketchup? Yeah,

1714
01:26:23,600 --> 01:26:26,240
Speaker 2: and you like, brother, you work at Safeway? What do

1715
01:26:26,320 --> 01:26:28,240
Speaker 2: you Why are you doing this to this person? You

1716
01:26:28,680 --> 01:26:30,680
Speaker 2: y'all are both in the same working class, and it's

1717
01:26:30,760 --> 01:26:34,120
Speaker 2: just like so so, but yeah, anyway, that's a tangent.

1718
01:26:34,200 --> 01:26:36,560
Speaker 2: But just that was this shit that made me be like,

1719
01:26:36,680 --> 01:26:38,840
Speaker 2: damn you. If you do this work and you meet

1720
01:26:38,880 --> 01:26:41,360
Speaker 2: the public and you're on both sides of it, it

1721
01:26:41,479 --> 01:26:43,719
Speaker 2: just gives you a better perspective I think on humanity

1722
01:26:43,880 --> 01:26:44,880
Speaker 2: it does.

1723
01:26:45,040 --> 01:26:46,840
Speaker 4: And I think for me when y'all talking about like

1724
01:26:46,840 --> 01:26:48,560
Speaker 4: the hardest that you ever the hardest, one of the

1725
01:26:48,640 --> 01:26:52,560
Speaker 4: hardest things I ever did, I'm waitressing, and you know,

1726
01:26:52,680 --> 01:26:54,519
Speaker 4: waitressing in North carolina's with two.

1727
01:26:56,240 --> 01:26:58,120
Speaker 3: An hour and it hasn't been raised.

1728
01:26:57,920 --> 01:27:00,439
Speaker 2: Since plus tips, and if you get tip.

1729
01:27:02,040 --> 01:27:05,840
Speaker 3: Paidcheck, you don't get a paycheck, right, And so I remember.

1730
01:27:05,960 --> 01:27:08,280
Speaker 4: And so when Roger was talking about his McDonald's job,

1731
01:27:08,800 --> 01:27:11,680
Speaker 4: where I worked at at Shawney's was literally a few

1732
01:27:11,760 --> 01:27:12,280
Speaker 4: exits up.

1733
01:27:12,400 --> 01:27:15,960
Speaker 3: So we got buses on the lot too, And so

1734
01:27:16,360 --> 01:27:17,439
Speaker 3: it just so happened.

1735
01:27:17,880 --> 01:27:20,519
Speaker 4: You know, your manager trying to save money, he literally

1736
01:27:20,640 --> 01:27:24,080
Speaker 4: sees everybody home except for the two people that's supposed

1737
01:27:24,120 --> 01:27:26,240
Speaker 4: to be there an hour or two before the next shift.

1738
01:27:26,280 --> 01:27:28,479
Speaker 3: Because you know, we we were consider the late girls

1739
01:27:28,960 --> 01:27:32,600
Speaker 3: for breakfast. So I never forget it. Me and this

1740
01:27:32,680 --> 01:27:34,519
Speaker 3: white girl we was there. We was cool. And somebody

1741
01:27:34,520 --> 01:27:36,080
Speaker 3: say bus on the lot. Me and her looking at

1742
01:27:36,120 --> 01:27:38,439
Speaker 3: each other like bitch, what do you mean? But we

1743
01:27:38,600 --> 01:27:41,800
Speaker 3: was like, okay, cool, but it was it was bus

1744
01:27:41,920 --> 01:27:42,960
Speaker 3: says on the lot.

1745
01:27:43,640 --> 01:27:48,120
Speaker 2: And so kids don't. Kids don't kids, they don't fucking

1746
01:27:48,240 --> 01:27:48,720
Speaker 2: know about that.

1747
01:27:48,960 --> 01:27:51,800
Speaker 4: But one thing about this, and the thing is that

1748
01:27:51,920 --> 01:27:55,280
Speaker 4: I was kind of I can't say I was. It

1749
01:27:55,400 --> 01:27:57,080
Speaker 4: was a lot of work, but at the same time,

1750
01:27:57,920 --> 01:28:00,599
Speaker 4: I'm glad old black people it was some old black

1751
01:28:00,640 --> 01:28:04,200
Speaker 4: people there, and so they came in and they told us,

1752
01:28:04,280 --> 01:28:07,800
Speaker 4: and so it was two servers and my and the

1753
01:28:07,960 --> 01:28:10,439
Speaker 4: manager and one other person with the cooks.

1754
01:28:11,240 --> 01:28:14,040
Speaker 3: So they they was so much they literally filled the

1755
01:28:14,160 --> 01:28:17,519
Speaker 3: whole restaurant up, and so it was two services now.

1756
01:28:17,680 --> 01:28:20,080
Speaker 4: So me and Hoo went around taking drink orders, and

1757
01:28:20,120 --> 01:28:22,200
Speaker 4: everybody was like, oh, take y'all talking, And that's why

1758
01:28:22,240 --> 01:28:24,479
Speaker 4: I was like, if you've never had.

1759
01:28:24,439 --> 01:28:27,040
Speaker 1: To work them all hands with a cook out there

1760
01:28:27,120 --> 01:28:31,120
Speaker 1: making drinks, come on, the cook got a drunk.

1761
01:28:31,439 --> 01:28:41,240
Speaker 6: Okay, everybody dropping and frying and flipping and running, and

1762
01:28:41,400 --> 01:28:43,519
Speaker 6: then by the time the next shift comes in, the

1763
01:28:43,560 --> 01:28:44,920
Speaker 6: whole fucking restaurant is back.

1764
01:28:45,400 --> 01:28:48,960
Speaker 4: So unless you've ever had to deal with that type

1765
01:28:49,000 --> 01:28:53,080
Speaker 4: of of stress, like really that type of stress, you

1766
01:28:53,200 --> 01:28:55,640
Speaker 4: don't understand when people go minimum wasting it to be

1767
01:28:55,680 --> 01:28:58,439
Speaker 4: fifteen dollars, bitch, it actually needs to be more. Have

Speaker 4: the street, out put my guddamn hands on you.

1772
01:29:10,080 --> 01:29:11,600
Speaker 3: The only reason why you're talking to me like this

01:29:11,680 --> 01:29:12,280
Speaker 3: because you can't.

1774
01:29:12,360 --> 01:29:16,880
Speaker 2: I remember one time there was a guy that came

Speaker 2: in that span of that. But the main thing I

1840
01:32:24,479 --> 01:32:27,920
