[B]

I get banned right before the day 30 of the season. Like when I pull up, I get banned like three days before it. Every month. Every month. It never fails. It's like they know something's up or it's like my highest interaction day, you know what I'm saying?

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

I'm actually pulling up and I get banned every single time. Instagram just. They take everything from me, bro. Which is my biggest platform.

[C]

Yeah. Okay, guys, Cleveland legend. We got Mr. Put a Girl on, Put a girl line. Let's go. How long you been doing that, dude?

[B]

July. July 12th will be one full year. No.

[C]

So not even a year?

[B]

Yeah, not even a year. Coming up on a year.

[C]

I feel like it took off quick then, huh?

[B]

I know. Yeah, definitely. Yeah, within like the first, like two weeks.

[C]

Wow.

[B]

Just started going crazy.

[C]

Usually it takes a lot more time and momentum to build something like that.

[B]

Yeah, definitely. I wasn't expecting it at all, you know.

[C]

Were you doing it before you even started filming it?

[B]

Like one or two calls maybe. It was. It was like the night I had my kid and the hospital bed was like so small and they didn't give us anything to sleep in. So my girlfriend was like, just go home or whatever. And it was just me and my boy because he was watching my house. That's when we did the first call.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

And, yeah, we did a few. And then we posted it just starting at like day eight. And then, yeah, around like day 15, day 16, it just started going crazy.

[C]

What was that company that you called on that day?

[B]

It was Taco Bell. Taco Bell. Yeah. Yeah, Taco Bell. It was the legendary season, bro.

[C]

How long did that streak last?

[B]

So we do 30 day long seasons. That was like the only season that we did 40 days.

[C]

Damn.

[B]

Just because we didn't, you know, have it structured out. We were just going, just doing whatever and the reactions were so priceless. From them. They were just freaking out.

[C]

Was it the same guy every time when you called?

[B]

There was. There was this one special character, I'd say, that answered the phone the most, and he was the one I would try to get all the time. And I actually. I had a boy that, like, found the page, and he's like, yo, I. I work at that exact. Or I used to work at that exact Taco Bell. And he sent me the schedule of all the employees.

[C]

Oh, my gosh.

[B]

So, like, I knew when that dude was working and, like, the times he was working. So I try to catch him, like, every night. That's hilarious. But he was, like, the best one out of that season for sure.

[C]

Did he call the cops?

[B]

No. Surprisingly, no. They never called the cops for the Taco Bell season. Usually the fast food doesn't call the cops.

[C]

I guess they don't care, right?

[B]

Yeah, yeah.

[C]

They're getting paid, like, seven an hour. Like, why are they gonna call the cops over this?

[B]

For sure. And they're freaking out with the threats, too. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. They threaten me a lot, so it's illegal on both ends, you know, so.

[C]

Yeah. So if they ride, they're riding on themselves.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah.

[C]

That's wild. What's the craziest threat you got?

[B]

I get a lot of pretty sus threats. Like, people are gonna clap my cheeks and stuff like that. But I don't know, honestly, probably. Probably the more so like, just sus threats like that. Yeah. People want to just sexually do things to me, bro. I don't know why, but it's weird.

[C]

That that's their first response.

[B]

I know, I know.

[C]

It's not like, let's throw hands. Let's. Let's get everyone first.

[B]

Let's get them in the bedroom right now.

[C]

It's so wild. It's cooked now. People are catching on, though, right? It's getting harder.

[B]

Oh, yeah, for sure. 100.

[C]

It went so mainstream, I feel like.

[B]

Yeah, there's been. There's been seasons we had to, like, forfeit out of. For, like, season desist. And there's been seasons we had to forfeit out of just because. Day three, you know, they just know. And it's, like, more so they're not getting mad. They're just, like, either just hanging up over and over again.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

And that's me calling, like, 15, 20 times and just getting hung up on over and over again. So there have been seasons we had to forfeit just because. Yeah. When it got so big, everybody just started catching on do you change the.

[C]

Number every time you call?

[B]

Yeah, I. I have three phones for it, basically. And then we use like, like burner apps and stuff. Or I just star 67 at all the time. But there have been times where I've started 67 and then like, they've called me back. Like, how star 69 or something. I was confused by it. Oh, I did one off my girl's phone for the rb season and 30 seconds later, they're just calling me back. I'm like, block the number right now. Damn.

[C]

I didn't know they could do that.

[B]

I had no idea either. It blew me away. I was just like, what is going on here?

[C]

Holy crap. That's scary, actually.

[B]

Yeah, definitely.

[C]

I used to love prank calls as a kid, but I stopped when I prank all the cops.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Yeah. They showed up to my mom's house and I was like, yeah, I'm never doing it again.

[B]

Yeah. That's basically where all this came from is like when we were in like middle school and high school, everybody used to prank call. You know what I'm saying? And I feel like now it's easier to track it and stuff like that, but it's harmless, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, to an extent.

[C]

But I guess you did get arrested though, right?

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Or was that fake? I didn't know.

[B]

No, I did get arrested. It was for the car dealership season. Yeah. The police station had called me and was like, come down here and talk to us. We're going to put out a warrant. I'm just like, I'm not coming down there. So I consulted with my lawyers. They're like, don't go. You know what I'm saying? So, yeah, we were shooting one of those oil down videos with ball guy AI and just got pulled over. I ended up having a warrant out of there.

[C]

Damn. This was in Cleveland.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah. Right. River, like suburbs out of Cleveland. But yeah, they arrested me like right then and there. Kept me. And I'm still fighting the court case. I just went last week to my first pre trial and they're just like getting. Trying to give me the cop out to something. I just keep saying though, wow.

[C]

What was the charge though?

[B]

Impersonating a police officer? Because I said my name was Detective Dodge Durango. Oh, wow.

[C]

Is that enough to be considered that, like just saying Detective.

[B]

They're like trying to drop it more so because I said my name was a car. Yeah. Know what I'm saying? Like, Dodge Durango is a car. I said I was from the passat police department which is also a car, you know what I'm saying?

[C]

Oh, it wasn't even a real pd.

[B]

No, no, it was just, it was complete, a complete joke, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, but they're more so saying like I called four or five times like acting like local officers, all that stuff. They're just trying to can me, you know what I'm saying?

[C]

Yeah, I could see like harassment maybe.

[B]

But yeah, that's what the prosecutor was saying is like why didn't we take the low hanging fruit and just get them for telecommunications harassment other than impersonating the police officer. But I mean, yeah, it's just, it blows my mind sometimes too because when I was in the courthouse waiting to go to my first pre trial, I mean the prosecutor came up to me while I was in the waiting room and was like, I, I don't think I'm ever going to get this chance again. Like just wanted to say I'm a huge fan and like shook my hand and the only lawyers walking past me, you know what I'm saying? Like saying what's up? Shaking my hand and it's just a big joke. But I feel like with the court system they gotta nab you for something. They're not just gonna let you go, you know?

[C]

Yeah, yeah, they're petty like that for sure. Have you gotten like banned anywhere? Any locations?

[B]

I'm banned from Walmart and yeah, I don't eat fast food anymore. Just in the sense of like I was doing it when I go through the drive through I'm like hood up, glasses on, you know what I'm saying? Because I, I've, I've like hit so many spots locally, you know what I'm saying?

[C]

They're gonna spin your food.

[B]

Yeah, 100, 100 over and over again. And I'm not dealing with that. Especially in Cleveland.

[C]

There's no way damn sure to give up faster. That's, that kind of sucks. Loki.

[B]

It was good, it was good. I'm on my, my, my. Thinning up boy.

[C]

But yeah, Walmart though, huh? Is that nationwide or just the Cleveland one?

[B]

It's just the Steelyard one which is, I mean it's already rated like number one worst Walmart in America. Geez. Steelyard Walmart, people just steal.

[C]

Is that why it's called that?

[B]

Yeah, I mean there's like a whole thing about it and stuff. It's just like the service, it's, there's nothing there. It's just like a, I don't even know. It's basically like being in a purgatory. It's a up place.

[C]

Peace. I gotta check out some videos of that.

[B]

Oh, yeah, it's cooked. If you look up Steelyard Walmart, they'll come right up.

[C]

So I feel like a lot of Walmarts and targets, they lock up stuff now. Just even in rich neighborhoods.

[B]

100.

[C]

It's not the same anymore.

[B]

Everything is locked up.

[C]

Like, it's so annoying because no one's nearby and you gotta press the button, wait like five minutes.

[B]

Like when they had the tide pods locked up.

[C]

Yeah. Oh, that was wild. It was only like 10 bucks.

[B]

Crazy era.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

When they were eating them and stuff.

[C]

Oh, yeah, it was.

[B]

Right.

[C]

I didn't get on that wave.

[B]

Yeah, no, no, me either, Sally.

[C]

I did the ice bucket wave. That, that one was tough, but Taipas. Nah. So you're gonna change up the, the script since people are catching on? Like, you just start saying something else.

[B]

Yeah, I mean, I, I, I try to, like, reel them in, you know what I'm saying? With things like that, I like, sometimes I'll call and you know, when I do call, I'll call like 5, 10, 15 times. You know what I'm saying? So there are points where I get, like, older people that don't have social media that don't know who I am. You know what I'm saying? But if I get the younger kids, they know off rip.

[C]

Damn. So that's a bummer. I feel like most of the people working there are pretty young.

[B]

Oh, yeah, for sure. Then you get the occasional old cat in there. That's the crash out, you know, and it works well.

[C]

Are you gonna do some IRL stuff like streaming or in persons?

[B]

We're on Twitch right now. We have been for a minute, but it's just basically out of the house. And I'm just doing, like, you know, custom prank calls and, you know, prank calls in general. We used to run a live show on Mondays, but definitely want to get into IRL more. Just like, trolling.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Stores and stuff like that. Doing the day 30s live and. Yeah. Just interacting with everybody as best as I can.

[C]

That's where my brain goes. Because I'm thinking, like, how do you monetize this?

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

And I feel like streaming is where the money's at.

[B]

It definitely is. Yeah. I mean, cameo. I do very well on cameo.

[C]

People use cameo still.

[B]

Yeah. Wow, bro. It's like I didn't know that. Yeah. I mean, cameo does pretty well. Instagram pays decent. Tik Tok's cool. You know But Twitch is definitely where the money's at for sure.

[C]

I don't get off ig, bro.

[B]

Really?

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Do you not do that New Year's bonus thing?

[C]

Nah.

[B]

Damn. Sign up for it, bro. Really? To cheese. Yeah.

[C]

Is it for sure. How does it work?

[B]

It's basically just they give you like a two week window where you can get paid off your interactions. So I mean it does good. If you go viral, you do like 2 million views, you'll get like a thousand bucks. Damn.

[C]

What? Yeah, I gotta. The Trilite from Therassage is no joke. Medical grade red and near infrared light with three frequencies per light. Deep healing, real results and totally portable. It's legit photo biomodulation tech in a flexible on body panel. This is the Tri Light from Therassage and it's next level red light therapy. It's got 118 high powered polychromatic lights, each delivering three healing frequencies, red and near infrared from 580 to 980 nanometers. It's sleek, portable, and honestly, I don't go anywhere without it. Do that after this episode.

[B]

Sign up for it.

[C]

Dude, I'm getting 100 million views a month.

[B]

Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

[C]

Holy.

[B]

I'm only running like. Yeah, like 30 million like a month right now. But I mean it pays good versus, you know, like I said, I get banned so much that they shut my monetization off at least once a month.

[C]

Yeah, I did want to ask you about that. How often are you getting banned on every platform?

[B]

A lot.

[C]

Pretty much every week.

[B]

Yeah, I get banned right before the day 30 of the season. Like when I pull up, I get banned like three days before it. Every month. Every month. It never fails. Like it's like they know something's up or it's like my highest interaction day. You know what I'm saying?

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

I'm actually pulling up and I get banned every single time. TikTok, I don't really get banned that much. Surprisingly. They'll like mute some of my videos, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, but Instagram just. They take everything from me, bro.

[C]

That sucks.

[B]

Which is my biggest platform.

[C]

Yeah, I'd use my biggest. I would be heartbroken if I lost that one.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Tick Tock. I mean I get some views, but yeah, nothing crazy.

[B]

To be honest, bro, I wish they would have taken Tick Tock.

[C]

Yeah, I wouldn't mind. I could go without a Tick Tock.

[B]

Same. I was like right where they're taking away. I'm like, let's go. You know what I'm saying?

[C]

Like, I don't even DM people on Tick Tock or use it for much so ever, bro. Ig, you gotta hit up Zuckerberg and get that verification badge, man.

[B]

Oh, my boy Zucky. I gotta figure it out. That's bro.

[C]

What if you prank called him?

[B]

Give me the number, yo.

[C]

That'd be wild. He would perma ban you.

[B]

Yeah, I find him, though.

[C]

Call it the Chinese food restaurant they send you season assist. Yeah, what happened with that one?

[B]

Yeah, we kept calling the same one over and over and over again and yeah, they just send it through the mail and I mean, I've tapped in with them after that. I'll let it ride for a month or so. Yeah, but. But that's the second or third season assist we got. We got one from Hot Topic as well. Which in my mind, it's like the. The retail places. I completely understand setting the cease and assist because I feel like retail workers care about their job more than a McDonald's or any fast food place. You know what I'm saying? The Chinese one was pretty unexpected, but they were probably just over it. Yeah, I'm saying, but the retail places definitely care more about their jobs to send those out. Which I was surprised that Walmart didn't send one our way either, you know?

[C]

Damn. Did that Chinese restaurant even speak English? Why'd they get so.

[B]

No, they did. It was just. I was calling them like, way too much. It's like I was. I would do like, I would do it until I could get the reaction. So I'm calling the Chinese spot like 30 times a day, you know what I'm saying? To get the. The bit. But yeah, I mean, we. That was just the one Chinese spot. I call this other one on stream. That's like, incredible. She's. She's a crash out every single time. Shout out Ming Moon.

[C]

Oh my God. What's the best reaction that you.

[B]

You remember? Probably Jay from Taco Bell.

[C]

The original one.

[B]

Huh? The original. Oh, yeah. The OG season was crazy. I mean, that dude was a psychopath. Like, I wish I could meet him, but I think about him all the time.

[C]

Has anyone ever tried to meet you.

[B]

In person from the. From the restaurants, from the calls? Yeah, no, no.

[C]

I guess your docs now that you've been arrested, right?

[B]

Yeah, for sure. 100. I mean, the fans were commenting, like, my trial date and like all this stuff in the comments and I mean, they just get whatever information they. They have them. They. They love getting Info on me and just putting it out there, bro. All the time.

[C]

Yeah. Were you trying to be low key about the arrest or you were just like.

[B]

No, I was boasting it because they were so stupid. You know what I'm saying? Like, it was the stupidest thing in the world to getting arrested for that. It's just. It blew my mind because, like, I had a lot of legal troubles when I was younger. Like when I was 18. That was like, you know, actual stuff.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Just being dumb and young. So going from that to, you know, getting arrested for Detective Dodge Durango is just kind of out of this world for me, like.

[C]

Yeah, you've been arrested for actual problems and then.

[B]

Yeah, Yeah.

[C]

I didn't see that coming.

[B]

No, no, not this time. That's why when they called me and they're like, come down you or we're going to put a warrant on, I'm like, yeah, okay. You know what I'm saying?

[C]

Geez.

[B]

Like, no big deal. Whatever.

[C]

That's nuts.

[B]

But it was stupid. I just want to get it over with.

[C]

Wast you gonna move out of Cleveland?

[B]

Eventually, I'd like to. My family, like, my family's in Cleveland. My son is about to turn one, so.

[C]

Nice.

[B]

I kind of want to get him a little older before we relocate.

[C]

Yeah. I just don't hear of any activities out there much, bro. I went for summer. Or not summer, NBA something like a few years ago.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

All Star Game.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah. All Star Weekend.

[C]

And it was fucking cold. Right. Busted ass on ice. I was like, I'm never coming back here.

[B]

It sucks, bro. It's definitely like a forgotten city. And it's like, I got mad haters in Cleveland.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

You know what I'm saying?

[C]

How did it get there? Like, I'm assuming it wasn't always like that in Cleveland.

[B]

What?

[C]

How did it get to become the forgotten city?

[B]

I don't know. I mean, I guess. I mean, there's more people going there. You know what I'm saying? There's no traffic, you know what I'm saying? You could get point A to B fast, you know? So I guess it does have its ups, but it's just like, in my realm of, like, creating, like, there's no other creators there, you know?

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

At least not anyone that's, you know, big enough I could work with. Yeah. It's kind of slow. I feel like it's just me over there.

[C]

Yeah. I don't know anyone over there.

[B]

Yeah. That's what you were saying. Yeah.

[C]

I just literally know, and I guess when LeBron left, he took a lot of business out, right?

[B]

Yeah, for sure.

[C]

Cabs are probably bringing in a ton of money.

[B]

100. Yeah, I was. I'm originally from Florida. I moved to Cleveland when I was, like, 4, and then I moved back to Florida when I was 21 for, like, a year, and then just came back. It keeps dragging me back. Damn.

[C]

So you like it more than Florida?

[B]

Yeah, definitely. Yeah. I'm not really Florida either.

[C]

Yeah, Miami.

[B]

Dude, I've never been to Miami. I'm from St. Petersburg.

[C]

Okay. Yeah, I heard of it. Is it more of a slower retirement city?

[B]

Yeah, kind of. Yeah. It's, like, closer to Tampa, too.

[C]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Florida. If you're the wrong city, it's just old people.

[B]

Yeah, 100%.

[C]

I feel like Miami is younger.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

I couldn't live there, though. I'm not. I'm not a big partier.

[B]

Yeah. No way. Are you? No, no. I've definitely. I definitely used to be, but I've slowed down since I had a family and been running the business and stuff like that.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

So can't.

[C]

This business or.

[B]

This business.

[C]

Oh, yeah, yeah. So you got a full team with you?

[B]

Yeah, yeah, for sure.

[C]

How do you come up with all the creative ideas and everything? Do you just brainstorm?

[B]

Yeah, I mean, what I want to ask them, I have, like, a whole notepad that I write down of just, like, ideas. What I want to ask them, what I think would piss them off. You know what I'm saying? What we're gonna do for the day, 30. Stuff like that. But, yeah, I mean, yeah, it's just. Yeah, it's. It's.

[C]

It's an interesting space, man, because it's like you constantly have to be doing crazier, crazier things to get views.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

And then you end up like Vitali or that one guy in Asia.

[B]

The whole.

[C]

It's like, is that. Is that worth it?

[B]

Yeah, definitely not. I mean, running into the legal situations doesn't really bother me that much. Running into a situation like, you know, he's in. Facing. What's he facing, like, 25 years or something like that.

[C]

He's in the worst jail in the world.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

He lost, like, £50.

[B]

I know. I. I seen that reference picture. That's rough. Yeah.

[C]

And the US Denied taking him back.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Just crazy.

[B]

Yeah. See, I think that, you know, you do have to make the ideas get, like, crazier and crazier and crazier, but it's like, I'm trying to do my best to keep it In a spectrum of, like, you know, I'm not incredibly disrespecting someone or hurting anyone. You know what I'm saying? I feel like with comedy, it's like, there's, like, a fine line with it. So it's just like, you know, I feel like with what we do, I get DMS all the time. Like, you know, thank you for the laughs, or I just went through a breakup, or, you know, I've been so depressed. It's the first thing that made me laugh, pulled me out of bed, which is. It's crazy because, like, you know, when I first started it, I'm just like, oh, we're just doing, like, this stupid stuff. You know what I'm saying? Whatever, whatever. And then I started, like, interacting with the fans more and more, and it's like, a laugh goes a long way. You know what I'm saying?

[C]

Like, no, for sure, bro. Yo. I'm pretty hard to get a laugh out of, honestly, but your shit made me laugh, so well done.

[B]

Yeah. Thank you.

[C]

Yeah, I usually don't get phased by videos.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Yeah. Something about how you do it, I guess, I think, because, like, it's never been seen too.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Like, other people weren't really posting that. Yeah, for sure people were doing it, but no one was actually posting it.

[B]

Like, used to be, like, an old thing with, like, the Jerky Boys and, like, all those other comedians that were doing stuff like that. So I feel like I brought something back from, like, a minute ago.

[C]

You brought everyone's childhood back.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

That's what.

[B]

Everything's recycled, so it's like. But I didn't even know I was doing it, you know what I'm saying?

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

I was, like, making music and all that stuff beforehand, and then I had my kid, and it just. Yeah, it went crazy.

[C]

Louis Space. A tough space to penetrate, too, for sure. What type of music?

[B]

I was rapping.

[C]

Rapping?

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Were you any good?

[B]

I mean, yeah, I had. I had a good following. I had some good features from some people and stuff, too. The scene is just like, not for me. You know what I'm saying? It's kind of just like everyone's just climbing over each other. Anyone will do whatever they can to get, you know, ahead of you, and it's just. It's kind of just a dirty game, you know what I'm saying?

[C]

100. Everyone I talked to in that space is miserable.

[B]

Yeah, 100, bro. And it's like, it comes with a lot of just problems that I don't need.

[C]

So you didn't even have like a plan. When you started doing this, you just kind of went day by day.

[B]

No. Yeah, we just started it. I mean, I kind of did. I was like, you know, I met with like, you know, everyone I was making music with. I was like, this isn't working. We need to do something else. You know what I'm saying? Like, it's like, what are we going to rap for the rest of our lives? Like, whatever, Whatever. I still have some homies that still make music and they're good and they're passionate about them, so ups to them, you know what I'm saying? But it was just like, you know, the world doesn't like care about that. Like, the world wants like that brain rot shot shock factor that's like in your face. Like, you know, short term videos that are just like so fried that just, you know, you want to watch them over and over and over again. So I'm like, yo, let's go to a Taylor Swift show and everybody wears a shirt that says Taylor Swift sucks dick. Or like Taylor Swift pops perks, you know what I'm saying? And stand out there and all the same fit. Black pants, black shoes, black glasses. Just anything to get eyes on you, you know what I'm saying? Because it's like once you have the, you know, the eyes on you, it's. You can do whatever you want with it as long as you're keeping it, you know, fresh and not going stagnant, basically.

[C]

Yeah. Attention is currency these days.

[B]

100%.

[C]

Yeah. The best artists aren't the most talented, for sure. They're just good at getting eyeballs.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Or they have a lot of money behind.

[B]

And that's like a lot of the thing with the music now too. It's like, you know, there are people blowing up that like the music is like 20% of it. It's like the image.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

You know, how they look, what they're doing, what they're talking about, this, that, and the third.

[C]

So I feel like 6:9 was like the start of that era.

[B]

Oh, yeah.

[C]

I mean, that dude just blew up.

[B]

I was like 2016. Or like 2016, 2017, when like music was again its prime. It was like that SoundCloud scene where everyone was just popping off. Yeah.

[C]

The double XL days when it actually mattered. They just released the list yesterday. I didn't even know a single person. Even the past like four years. I don't know a single person on that list. Yeah, the Lil Yachty year. I can name like all those guys. Yeah.

[B]

Like the one with Dicky and, like, Uzi and stuff. Those were, like, the legendary.

[C]

That cipher was. That's the best cipher I've ever seen. I don't know if those were actually freestyles, but they killed it.

[B]

Yeah. It's been cool, though. I mean, it's put me in opportunities. Like, we. We got invited to go to that boss man DLO show and, like, 1900 rugrat in Cleveland.

[C]

Nice.

[B]

And I mean, yeah, we were backstage and it was cool. We got to, like, meet DLO and everybody. DLO was trying to take pictures of me. I just turned him down. I had to. I had to for the culture. You know what I'm saying? But, yeah, it's cool. I mean, it's putting me in a lot of, you know, good rooms. I was out here last year because Sean Blue, you know, Sean Bloom is.

[C]

Yeah. The billionaire.

[B]

Yeah, yeah. He was a fan. And he, like, had us come out to go to his dad's birthday party and stuff, which was cool. That was my first time out here. But, yeah, I mean, it's put me in good rooms and it's like, you know, it's good, bro. I'm grateful for what I'll be doing, you know? Yeah. And just.

[C]

That's awesome. Soon MGK is going to hit you up for MGK Day to come out.

[B]

See? We'll see. Cleveland's not a fan of me, bro. I'm telling you, you got a lot.

[C]

Of enemies in Cleveland.

[B]

For sure. For sure. Especially when I blew up. It just became way worse, you know what I'm saying?

[C]

Yeah. So, damn, you got to move smart out there.

[B]

I know for sure. I say I do. I work out, I stay in the house, I make content, and I raise kid. You know what I'm saying? Your homebody doing? Yeah, for sure.

[C]

You going to send your kid to public school?

[B]

I don't know.

[C]

I'm not.

[B]

I don't know. Probably not.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

That's why I think about now, too. Because it's just like, you know, what's the world going to be like in 10 years?

[C]

Like, giving crazy AI everything.

[B]

I know. That's why I'm like.

[C]

I'm using AI every day.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

I just found a new one yesterday. I've been on it all morning.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Perplexity.

[B]

I haven't heard of it.

[C]

You haven't messed around with any AI yet?

[B]

No. No, I haven't.

[C]

You'd use it for creating video ideas?

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Really good.

[B]

I've seen, like, the ones that, like. Yeah. Can, like, help you do it with the videos and stuff, too, but I've never used it.

[C]

Yeah, it's nuts. Like, I find guests with it. I find questions to ask guests on it. It does, like, everything at this point.

[B]

That's crazy. I need to get hit.

[C]

Yeah, it's fire.

[B]

I don't fuck with the robots, bro.

[C]

Oh, you don't like it?

[B]

I mean, I'm not. It's not that I don't like it. It's. The robots freak me out at this point.

[C]

I feel like we got to accept it. Yeah, I know it sounds like they're not coming.

[B]

You know, they are. So I'm just like, wait. So. Yeah. Yeah. That's crazy.

[C]

There's a lot of sex robots in Asia.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Did you look into that?

[B]

I'm trying to p. Trying to pull up on them.

[C]

What's good? I think 30% are in relationships.

[B]

What the.

[C]

With AI out there. Certain countries. Pretty nuts, dude.

[B]

There's no way.

[C]

Yeah. Soon it'll be America.

[B]

Holy, bro.

[C]

Yeah, Our kids are going to be. Some of them will date AI Nut, son.

[B]

Bro, he's not doing that.

[C]

Yeah, I don't think I want my kids.

[B]

Yeah, no way.

[C]

There's people that can't pull, so, like, that's. That's their option, you know.

[B]

Power to them, bro.

[C]

You ever feel bad after one of the calls, like, damn, I just ruined that guy's death.

[B]

The one. The one when. The one Walmart call when the. The dude was freaking out about his girl cheating on him and, like, tried to, like, you know, have a heart to heart with me about it, and.

[C]

I didn't see that one.

[B]

Yeah, I felt bad about it for sure, bro, but I had to stick to the bit.

[C]

So you told him his girl cheated on him?

[B]

No, no, he. So I called him and, you know, I started talking to one of the voices. He knew it was me, and he just basically started venting to me like, yo, like, you know, I don't, like, can you not do this to me anymore? Basically, like, my girl just cheated on me, blah, blah, blah. And, like, basically started to bro out with me and I was just like, you know, oh, damn, I'm sorry to hear that, bro. Like, that sucks so bad. And I'm just like, you know, like, you know, I've been in that situation. You know, what you could do to, like, make it better. And he's like, what? And I'm like, oh, my God. Ruthless. And bro lost his mind. I mean, the call. I can't remember what day it is, but it's on the walmart. Season. But it's like, yo, you have to commit to the bit. If you don't, then what else do you have?

[C]

You're bringing a lot of eyeballs to these companies. So low key, it might be helping.

[B]

Some of them see. That's what I think too. Especially with the car dealership. I had this girl DM me and be like, you know, we're getting so many calls. The people upstairs are getting so pissed. I'm like, yo, I'm basically doing free advertising, you guys. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. It's like they were so mad about it. And every. Everybody is like in the comments when I do like Arby's or KFC or something, they're like, damn, these calls like make me want to go get kfc. Like for real makes me want to go get Arby's or I'm about to go get Arby's. People are sending me pictures of them like doordashing Arby's and stuff. So I'm like, yo, give me the Taco Bell meal. Give me the Put a girl on Taco Bell. You know what I'm saying? Oh, bless me for the one time.

[C]

I would kill it, bro. Yeah, I'd imagine because some of your videos get like tens of millions of views.

[B]

Yeah, for sure. Yeah. We have a few that are like 20 million over.

[C]

Holy. That's the most I've heard on IG, honestly.

[B]

Yeah, it's been sick. There's a GameStop did a lot of views. It's just like some of the certain characters that I, you know, that work there, it's just like they hit so hard. Yeah, it's. And they're all based in Cleveland too. Like on, on the Twitch we'll like basically call like people in Long island and stuff. We like with people like, you know, in Long island and all that stuff. But when we accent. Yeah, that. And they're just like crash outs, bro. But we usually stick around Cleveland just because I can't like call out of state and post it because it's considered like federal harassment. Oh yeah, yeah.

[C]

Plus the states had their own laws, right? Like one party has to record or two parties have to.

[B]

Someone has to consent. Yeah. So it's like I usually stay inside of the Cleveland area.

[C]

What about Ohio? Can you do other cities in Ohio?

[B]

Yeah, yeah, I have. But yeah, I mostly just try to stay in the Cleveland area, but it's like I'm running out of places I.

[C]

Can only name, I guess Cincinnati and Cleveland and Ohio.

[B]

It's Like Mansfield and all these other places I could do, but it's like, it's a lot of sticks out there. You know what I'm saying? Yeah.

[C]

So, damn, you're running out of spots. What are you going to do when you're out?

[B]

I'll never run out. Never run up.

[C]

That's crazy. Did you look up to any pranksters growing up? Or, like, did you watch those guys?

[B]

Not really, currently. I mean, I really like Ross Creations if you know that.

[C]

That's a funny one.

[B]

I love Ross.

[C]

Concepts are so unique.

[B]

Yeah, he's killer, bro. And he's been doing it for a minute. And, yeah, I'm a big fan of him. He comments on my stuff all the time. So big ups to Ross.

[C]

This stuff's so wholesome, too.

[B]

Yeah, for sure.

[C]

I love the fridge to the grocery store one.

[B]

Yeah. Or the Tang bed on the beach.

[C]

Yeah, he's.

[B]

He's killer, bro. I'm a big fan of him. I hope to get into, like, some, you know, real skate skit comedy like that. I. I like Sam Hyde.

[C]

He's going crazy right now.

[B]

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I'm trying to get on Fish Tank. I'm trying to do all this stuff, but, yeah, I'm trying to basically branch from the prank calls into, like, real skit comedy like that, you know?

[C]

Yeah, that's how you monetize it. I feel like.

[B]

Yeah, for sure.

[C]

And this is good to build that initial base and then, yeah, next step is to make some money.

[B]

And we do do, like, skits in between and stuff like that. You know what I'm saying? But it's like, sometimes I'll do a skit. It'll go viral. But the fans, man, like, they love the prank calls. Like, it's just like, if I'm like, I post a skit, they'll comment on the skit. Like, go back to the prank calls. Like. Like that. Like, they'll cook me. I'm just like, all right, cool. Let me get on the phone. Or, like, pick the phone up, little bro.

[C]

I'm like, that's an interesting thing, because you don't want to be known as just that, right?

[B]

Yeah, I mean, yeah, I don't. It's like, I don't care for the time being because it's like, I definitely left my mark with it. You know what I'm saying?

[C]

You're the number one prank caller in the world, I think.

[B]

Oh, yeah, for sure. America's number one prank caller, baby.

[C]

Yeah, that's a. That's a title right there, man.

[B]

That's what I'm saying. But yeah, I definitely do want to get into the more formal skit comedy just because, like, I got a real creative mind. So it's like, you know, writing the skits. I have a bunch of skits right now. I have a bunch of stuff like that. So it's like, yeah, I just got to get in the more like, you know, getting it produced side.

[C]

I like the OG Nelk boy stuff.

[B]

Yeah, dude.

[C]

Faking the Walmart employee stuff.

[B]

Yeah, yeah.

[C]

Legendary Saleem.

[B]

Yeah. That is crazy. They get a long way too, bro.

[C]

They've come a long way. I think they just start getting in so much trouble, like. Yeah, so many arrests started piling up.

[B]

Right.

[C]

So they stopped doing that. But, yeah, now they just got the pod. Well, dude, it's been awesome. Anything else you want to close off with here or promote?

[B]

Yeah, for sure. Serpentini Chevrolet. Bob Serpentini could blow me. And. Yeah, do. Much love. It was good to be here, bro.

[C]

Yeah. Thanks for hopping on, dude.

[B]

And make sure everybody in chat and just everywhere else put a girl on.
