00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 1: people know that your goal in life is not just

38
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 1: to be able to just tell jokes. That you have

39
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:17,760

40
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 1: that's what money making conversations is about. I also know

41
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: that like Tuesday, you know, the reality show the fourth

42
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: season a Ricky Smiler for a real kick off. We

43
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 1: want to talk about that. Because you were shocked that

44
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 1: I watched your show. I was colder to start, you know,

45
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: I know you and cooking, you know, with your crazy

46
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:44,079
Speaker 1: because I was watching the show, and I'm talking about you.

47
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: You were watching it weekly, and I knew somebody had

48
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 1: to be watching because it got really good radio. But

49
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 1: when I go through like a Walmart in the on

50
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 1: the on the black people walking to Walmart doing the

51
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:04,079
Speaker 1: day it because on their security check, all of old

52
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 1: people watch the old school home training, the discipline and

53
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 1: destruction and the no nonsense and the and the conflict

54
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: and the resolutions. They just appreciated because because it's just

55
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:21,959
Speaker 1: it's a good soul. Man. You can watch this show

56
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: with your kids. That's what I love about that, because

57
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: you know, you know I started watching it. You know,

58
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: I always watched the episode here and there, but I

59
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: got it to the part where, you know, when your

60
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: daughter was dating that old dude like you and he

61
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: came to that Birmingham Live Costs Live Live broadcasts we

62
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: had to shut that down. Also also it was really

63
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: Here's why I like the show because of the fact

64
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: that it deals with real life reality. Okay, because a

65
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 1: lot of reality some people think it's faith. Like your

66
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: relationship with your son that was really unge last season. Yeah, yeah,

67
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: and uh, and there was a moment that there was

68
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: a moment you had in that conference room, you know,

69
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 1: with the psychologist trying to mend everything together. Man, how

70
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: is it gonna be for season four on Ricky Smiley

71
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: for real? Well, you're actually, uh, you know, see it,

72
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: see that relationship get better, it's still some steps you know, um,

73
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: towards getting a relationship with my older son where it

74
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: needs to be. And then you have to see my

75
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: daughter when they go through stuff because she got pulled

76
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: out of FIU in Miami and I had to transfer

77
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: her up to Tennessee State University and said, you're gonna

78
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 1: see everything with all of that, because there was a

79
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 1: later drama involved on that, because nobody wants to change

80
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: school and leave Miami and you know and go to Tennessee.

81
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 1: And just the development and Craig getting older and Malik

82
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 1: getting older, and even the stuff with the controversy with

83
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: Malik and some state him that he made on last

84
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: season that he apologized for him. Yeah. Yeah, and that's

85
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 1: gonna be addressed on the first Uh, that's going to

86
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: be addressed on on the first scene tomorrow night. So

87
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: we could tell people who don't watch, what was that?

88
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 1: What was that moment you were talking about him? Did

89
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: he needed to apologize about Well, you know, he has

90
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 1: made some irresponsible um you know, jokes and and was

91
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 1: talking about dating outside of his race, but he uh,

92
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: his approach and uh what he said the way it

93
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:38,839
Speaker 1: came out, it was, it was it ted off a

94
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:42,599
Speaker 1: lot of women in the world, rightfully, so rightfully, so yeah, yeah,

95
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 1: it was. It was. It was disrespectful. Uh personally, it

96
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 1: never should have aired, you know. Uh So I had

97
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 1: some arguments behind the scene, whether they said, well that's

98
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: how he felt. I said, yeah, but three ye olds

99
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: one candy for breakfast, but did you give it to him?

100
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 1: You know? So uh so, yeah, that was some some

101
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 1: real cuss out moment that should have been on cameras,

102
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 1: you know. But I also had to defend him because

103
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: the words that each other was wrong and disrespectful. But

104
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: he does have a right to love who you want

105
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: to love. And like who you know, like we want

106
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 1: to like and he did apologize, so you know, I

107
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 1: had to get all these grown folks instead of going

108
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: on his social media encouraging him. They were going on there,

109
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: you know, dogging himunta and I'm talking about grown what's

110
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: going out a fifteen yard stuff? Say I got some

111
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 1: good advice where you are offering him advice or whatever,

112
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 1: because he didn't hit nobody or shoot nobody or nobody.

113
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 1: You know, he said some stuff and just being fifteen

114
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 1: and trying to crack a joke that wasn't fun. But

115
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: let me ask you this, Ricky, is it difficult raising

116
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: your kids in front of a camera like that as

117
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: a parent because you're a real engaged and involved parents. Okay,

118
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 1: so so these moments are caught on camera. That that

119
00:06:54,680 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: makes it difficult, doesn't it? Uh no, because uh shouting,

120
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 1: I'm just being me. I don't have to I don't.

121
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 1: I don't change when the camera's coming the room. That's true,

122
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 1: and that's why that's why the show called Rick's Amat

123
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 1: for real. And you can't know I met twenty something

124
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:17,119
Speaker 1: a year and many arguments and fights, we had nothing

125
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: and you can't you can't say nothing to sun, because

126
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: I'm not nothing for another person of you, just like

127
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,679
Speaker 1: just like you and and and Steve and been around

128
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 1: y'all my whole life, growing up under y'all, I have

129
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: developed y'all ways and y'all fussy and be mad and

130
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 1: on the same way. So you know, I just I

131
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: can't put it on for the camera, even in my

132
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 1: stand up, even though I laughed at some of my jokes,

133
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: but all the other is real. I can't do faith,

134
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: I can't do fake nothing. Yeah. When he sent the

135
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: resume over to me about because I want to get

136
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: everything in and I know I got one break with you.

137
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,239
Speaker 1: I did not see anything about Cookie and I didn't

138
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 1: see anything about the book. Is there something we should

139
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: be talking about right now? Or you know the book

140
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:09,160

142
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 1: and uh so that's gonna be on season five. If

00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 1: the Good Lords say the same that we get it,

Speaker 1: that's coming out. And the stuff with the cooking, you know,

147
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: that would be in the next season too. Because it

148
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 1: was just so much content because it's not just me

149
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: and my kids. It's me and my kids, and then

169
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 1: curse outs I had because I was like, hey, man,

173
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: Let's set the story up. Is that is Ricky Smiley

174
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: at the time was given the opportunity to come on

175
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: to Steve Harvard Morning Show. Correct, yeah, no, not to

176
00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,560

177
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 1: got there and did the morning show with Steve, I

178
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: wanted to stay on with Stephen. You argue with me

179
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: and say, hey, you need to do your own show,

180
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 1: But before that I wasn't willing to leave Berminham. Thank you.

181
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,079
Speaker 1: My biggest story that I tell people now, hey, you

182
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 1: got to get out of your own sitting and leave

183
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 1: in order to grow. Because a fish don't get bigger

184
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: as long as inside of that bish boat. This git

185
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,440
Speaker 1: bigger when you put it in a punt. When we

186
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 1: look at all the trees, all of the trees you

187
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 1: see some of them was one in a flower pipe.

188
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:32,719
Speaker 1: But until they got out of the flower pine and

189
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:36,679
Speaker 1: was put in the ground, they were able to grow amazing,

190
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 1: amazing every Yeah, So when you say that you have

191
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 1: this nation you have the comedy tour, you have to

192
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 1: talk show, I mean the radio show, which is Fact,

193
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: which is the number one hip hop radio syndicated show

194
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: in the country, by the way, and then you have

195
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 1: Ricky Smiley for real. Now, the thing I love about

196
00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 1: this because of one didn't to get up and up

197
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 1: root and leave Birminham, Alabama, because had I not moved

198
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,440
Speaker 1: to Dallas, Texas, I wouldn't have been able to do

199
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 1: the things that I'm doing now. And some and and

200
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 1: it's just a growing process. Sometimes you have to get

201
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 1: out of your own way, in your own comfort zone

202
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 1: and offer to growth. And that's something that y'all really

203
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: busted me and bought home. And now you know it

204
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 1: makes and you're you're absolutely right. But here's the far

205
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 1: part about it. Because you are successful, you could just

206
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:36,679
Speaker 1: spend a lot of time in Birmingham. Absolutely, is that crazy? Absolutely?

207
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 1: You had to leave me, Yeah, that you had to.

208
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 1: You had to leave to become successful. Now you're successful,

209
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:45,200
Speaker 1: you can dictate where you can spend most of your time.

210
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:50,560
Speaker 1: Where your conference zone, right, it's in Birmingham, right. You know,

211
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 1: I did the morning show one morning, I got some group,

212
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 1: I did the morning show one one morning from a

213
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 1: funeral home. I'd be embalming on the side and be

214
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 1: doing commercial for Uper and everything else while I'm embalming

215
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 1: a body and everything. It's just just blessed. I'm just

216
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 1: kidding sign you know. You know, it's a whole lot

217
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:15,439
Speaker 1: of breaks. Everybody, everybody my broadcast to you win. They

218
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 1: just they just started blinking. You know when people you

219
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 1: say something crazes about it, they get that rabbit I blink.

220
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 1: Their eyes were just blinking because they were trying to

221
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 1: figure it all out. He broadcasting and doing a UPER

222
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 1: commercial and embalming at the same time. Somehow that ain't

223
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 1: working out well, I will I will tell you this though.

224
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 1: I didn't get a chance to go to a you know,

225
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:38,079
Speaker 1: I need to get a chance to go to a

226
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 1: funeral home. And doubt the man took me in the backup.

227
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 1: I was just curious and he took me to the

228
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: back or whatever. And the dude that they get them

229
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 1: there body ready. But they were listening to nine and nine.

230
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 1: Hey man, when you do something that we're doing big

231
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 1: my way makeup though, When you know, when you do

232
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,200
Speaker 1: something on a regular basis, it becomes normal to you,

233
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 1: you know, it's because like this is this is their

234
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 1: normal thing. Something we might stand extreme is normal. Just

235
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,439
Speaker 1: like when people do surgery on your hospital they turn

236
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 1: on music. You know what, I'm thinking, They're back there,

237
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 1: They're back there. They do you know, I'm a dangerous

238
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 1: man with money in my pocket. Not back then carried

239
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 1: what I'm saying now at the funeral, just a thought

240
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 1: that they didn't got big Voma ready, but they listen to.

241
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: It's just making yourself, making yourself real. So with all

242
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:44,840
