[Chico Bean]

[Rory]

Thank you.

[Chico Bean]

Appreciate you.

[Guest]

You've been good, man.

[DC Young Fly]

They left you out the Gucci group chat to coordinate. I really like that man.

[Chico Bean]

He wouldn't wear it if we told him to wear.

[Rory]

He got a 70 dol. That's killing all.

[Chico Bean]

The only thing he gonna have Gucci in is the inside of a Monte Carlo. He not putting that on his body at all.

[DC Young Fly]

When we had DC on, I told a very embarrassing story. We were on a flight together. This was like whenever New Orleans All Star weekend was, and we was getting off the plane, and I went to dap you to be like, yo, I really, like, respect what you're doing, you know? I think you're hilarious. I've never gotten a cold shoulder to go reach up to get his bag in my entire fucking life.

[Chico Bean]

Fly did that to you?

[DC Young Fly]

No, I was telling Fly that when he was here. It was me and you on the plane. This is whenever. 2017, 16, whenever all star was in New Orleans, I was on my way connecting.

[Chico Bean]

That wasn't me. That was a. That looked like me. Ah, that wasn't me. It's a lot of that look like me. That was not me look.

[Rory]

They just said thank you.

[Chico Bean]

Yeah, yeah. Nah, not at all. Don't allow me like that, man.

[DC Young Fly]

I don't even think you heard me. But it was just one of those, like, oh, so you probably just didn't Hear me?

[Chico Bean]

You said it like a white man.

[DC Young Fly]

Hey, man.

[Karlous Miller]

And that's the wrong time. Like, on the plane, we getting off. That's the wrong time.

[DC Young Fly]

Five o'. Clock. You know what? I don't like. I'm not even really that type of guy, but, like, what you and Los was doing on Wild N Out at that time, I was a huge fan. I was like, let me actually say what's up to somebody I like fully respect.

[Chico Bean]

For sure.

[Rory]

For sure.

[DC Young Fly]

It was in between getting bags. It was connecting flight. We was in Charlotte.

[Rory]

He probably thought he said it.

[Chico Bean]

Yeah. I definitely wouldn't have. Did you like that, G? Because I've been watching y', all, you know, for a long time as well. Like, we consume a lot of media. Always having.

[Karlous Miller]

Yeah.

[Chico Bean]

Which I even, you know, back when y' all was on Joe podcast and just how long y' all been doing it, just the dialogue that y' all always brought to the table was always excellent, man. So salute to both of y'. All.

[Guest]

I love the way y' all just split and did your own thing, bounce back, and it didn't. You know what I'm saying? The friction between y' all didn't never make y' all fall out.

[Karlous Miller]

But we was just talking about that how, like, you know, just people split and this. It's hard to keep everybody on the same page. Understood.

[Chico Bean]

Yeah.

[Karlous Miller]

Like, you gotta have a certain level of just respect amongst each other to be able to get everybody on the same page consistent. Like, people don't talk about that a lot. And that's something that I would want to talk about with y', all, because what y' all have been doing is incredible. Like, you know, I've been waiting. I ain't gonna lie. I've been waiting. I'm like, something gonna happen, man. These n gonna get the fighting. Something gonna happen. But y' all seem to have that respect, that brotherhood, and y' all just, like, listen, where we come from, we come from humble beginnings. We just happy to be doing what we doing. Let's just keep it going.

[Chico Bean]

Right?

[Rory]

I mean, we like to let OG Sit in the pocket, and we like to do the talking about when it comes to how comes we stick together so much because it's a. It can contest to. You know what I'm saying? His vision and who he is as a person. You know what I'm saying? For him to even. First off, to even come and reach back.

[Karlous Miller]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Even want to come get us.

[Karlous Miller]

Yeah.

[Rory]

You feel what I'm saying? With something that he created, you know, What I'm saying? And he was just like, I want y' all input. You know what I'm saying? We like, with what?

[Chico Bean]

With this?

[Rory]

And like, what is this? He like, I don't know.

[Karlous Miller]

Hell, whatever.

[Rory]

We make it.

[Karlous Miller]

Yeah.

[Rory]

And it's like the vision, even in the beginning, like, this is a growing process. Even with this company, bro. In this vision, I even grew. I wasn't who I was when I first came along. I wasn't who I was the first three years. Once I realized what was going on and I had to pay attention to like, what is this? And I'm like, you know what? What can I do to make it better amongst the group? Cause he's doing what he's doing, Chico's doing what he's doing. But I know there's something else that I could be doing. You feel what I'm saying? Instead of just being his friend and he just saying, come. It's like, what you good at, bro? I brought you over here to be do. To do that. Can you do that? And I was like, you know what? Let me just start doing that. And it was just like the vision. Once you respect your comrades vision, you don't know where you're going. You never know where you're going. But I'd rather be in the ride with you. Whether we don't do this no more or whatever we do, I'd rather be in the ride with you.

[DC Young Fly]

What do you think the vision between the 85 brand versus the 3 individual brands shall have? What is the difference between those two things?

[Chico Bean]

It's not really a difference at all, to be honest. I was just about to say that, like, when he was talking about just with Los Vision, like, he didn't need us to do anything. You know what I mean? None of us need each other to do any of the things that we do. We want to be around each. We make the choice to do the things that we do together because we understand each other and we understand the power that we have and being able to bring all of our brands together. Like, the crazy part that people don't understand is we're all representatives of one another when we're out individually as well. If I do something, the first two people they gonna go look for the ass is them too. And Vice Vers. So we always have each other in mind when we moving out here because we know we're representing the greater brand and the greater scheme. And you know, we are keeping. Keeping what we put together together all the time, whether we're all in the same room or we're separate. You know what I'm saying? When you talking to one of us individually, it's natural that you gonna ask about this no matter what we do, because that's how much power we've put into what we do together. And it's just, you know, you can't. When you look at it from when you've been in the game as long as we have, and you look at how many people have come and came and gone and how doing it at the same time, that didn't get a chance to do what we're doing, we understand that this is the power, this is the magic. You know what I'm saying?

[DC Young Fly]

And was that chemistry, like, starting with Wild N Out? Because I always felt like it was y' all three. Justine as well. She's hilarious. But that was the four that stood out to me during that second wave of Wild N Out. Do y' all know each other prior to that?

[Rory]

It's a lot of people I'm talking.

[DC Young Fly]

About my personal favorites.

[Rory]

So put it like this. We was at work at Wild N Out, all right? It's like us going to camp. You link up with some of your friends that you like. Oh, you from around the way. You from around the way. We kinda like the same people. But if you do it together, there's no blueprint for us doing things together. You know what I'm saying? I don't wanna exclude you out, but.

[DC Young Fly]

For like, black people, yeah, it's fine.

[Rory]

There's no blueprint.

[DC Young Fly]

I'll survive.

[Chico Bean]

You know what I'm saying?

[Rory]

There's no blueprint for, like, what can we go look at when we do stuff together? So Wild N Out was kinda like. The first thing was like, look what happened when somebody who's at the top, like Nick Cannon, and he reached back to go get everybody who he like, who he think, not who. Hollywood thing, right? Who he rocked with. And then he's trying to show Hollywood this can work if you just give people an opportunity. So if this is my shot, let me take a chance with my shot on others that I rock with. So when we was doing what we were doing, building our energy at Wild N Out, it was just so happened. Like, when we get together at work, you see what we do individually on our own, but when we together at Wild N Out, we boost each other. I want to see him do that joke. It don't matter if the producer don't want to see you do that joke. Do the joke for me, fool. Because you know, it's funny, and I know you really want to do the joke. So it's the confidence that we give each other. It's that energy that we give each other. And we was at work. What about if we just go do this somewhere else when we're not being supervised? Right.

[Guest]

Because then you got to keep in mind, like, while. And now we do that three weeks to a month out of the year.

[DC Young Fly]

Yes.

[Rory]

Right.

[Guest]

So it's like, what was quick.

[DC Young Fly]

Yeah, they're very minimal to.

[Karlous Miller]

Nah.

[Guest]

Cause it's like, bro, we be backstage, we all like laughing, playing cards, and like, in between breaks. Y' all been to the set.

[Chico Bean]

Y' all see?

[Guest]

Exactly. It's like the party. It's the energy. He doing something, but then he doing something, and then I'm doing something. Or we got the crowd want to do this. You know what I mean? So it's like, bruh, we really got something. And, like, just having Wild N out as the platform, that was like, the gym is what we were just kind of working out all the different elements of being a comedian. And then when we put this platform together, it was like, bro, bro, now we got something where we can not only go over here and be good, but be great and still be working on the craft at the same time. We can't fail.

[Karlous Miller]

Right?

[Guest]

Like, we could do interviews. We could just get on here and talk shit. We could tell jokes. We could do whatever we want to do. And we needed that because that's what was. A lot of comedians don't get that.

[Rory]

Hollywood gave us a blueprint of saying what you had to do in order for you to succeed. So it was like doing certain things a while or not. And it was working. It was like, bro, you know how many times they said, don't do that, or that one gonna work? And it worked. We're being stopped as creatives because we're trying to fit into this mold, into this box. And it's like, that ain't who we is. Yeah, we here when it comes to on the other side on tv. But it's like they try to mold you to be something that you not. So it's like, all right, let's create a space where we could do what we do and be authentic, where we're not being malicious when we ain't coming off as facetious. But we're still creating for people who just like us.

[Karlous Miller]

Yeah.

[DC Young Fly]

So we had Safari on the show. Safari is one of the wildest I've.

[Chico Bean]

Ever met in my life.

[DC Young Fly]

So I have to ask, when y' all two, I believe it was, was the old school battle.

[Chico Bean]

Yeah, yeah.

[DC Young Fly]

Y' all two was rapping back and forth, and Safari happened to be in the audience, and I know she was actually improvised.

[Chico Bean]

Yeah.

[DC Young Fly]

Was going through y'.

[Karlous Miller]

All.

[DC Young Fly]

Because you said some of the wildest I've ever heard in my life.

[Chico Bean]

Yeah.

[DC Young Fly]

Like, he played it off well, though. I give Safari cred.

[Guest]

He wasn't even a guest. He was literally just there, and he ran up.

[Rory]

But he could rap. But he was like, you know what? This is my time. Yeah, man, that was a bad time.

[Chico Bean]

And the crazy part, like, we would. You know, when we get into it, everything is improvised when it come to that. But, you know, when it come to Wild N Out, certain people have to go over stuff. They got to stand there and just, you know. You know, we don't do all three of us. Like, we. It was one clip where me and DC just came out and just started dancing. When we don't have to talk to each other. That's the beauty of it. So in that moment, me and Lo's going back and forth and buddy run on stage, and we looking at each other, and I look to the back and.

[Rory]

But time out. Explain how it always initiate. We never starts it, but we finish it. Yeah, he came at Chico first, and.

[Chico Bean]

He just ran on stage.

[DC Young Fly]

I think he said his ring or his watch cost more than what he's.

[Rory]

Been doing your whole career.

[Chico Bean]

And mind you people, the crazy part, this is what people don't think people understand, is me and Los was battling. Battling at first, yeah. But when he ran on stage, we didn't have to talk. Like, we fitting to jump you. We about to jump you, slim. And if you watch it back now, Los was just lobbing it.

[Rory]

Sweating. Cause I'm like, I don't know. They gonna take it Fly.

[Chico Bean]

The wild fly. Always ready to just he a warrior. So he just, in his mind, he like, I'm finna have to take off. I'm behind you, bro.

[DC Young Fly]

It's funny, the genius of that, now that you're thinking. Because I thought Los was actually defending him. Well, when he was saying, oh, Safaree actually wrote them hits.

[Chico Bean]

Nah.

[DC Young Fly]

Not realizing that he was setting you up to fucking dunk on him.

[Chico Bean]

And that's the thing about that. Those moments in the show, that's what makes it so authentic. Even if you go back to the very first old school battle, like, Los came. This was the last show, was French Montana, wasn't it? It was the very last show of the first season. Our very first season, and we, in between breaks, we great do the W before the wild style. It's always a break. Los walked up to me and was like, bet, you don't want to battle old school. I'm like, bet. And then he jumped out and we went. And if you look back at the clips, like, we laugh about it. You just look and see people reaching for the mic, and this Los is juking with the mic. Ain't nobody getting the mic. We were just like it. We just go, do we want to do? And that's the beauty of, you know, having those moments. This has been what we're doing now. We've all been doing since the beginning. People might not recognize it, but when you go back and look, we've always been in our own pocket. Even in a system that we didn't create, that we were grateful to be a part of, thankful to be a part of, but we still were always able to find our niche within that and do our thing, to be able to stand out in that space.

[Guest]

Some of the best moments for us on Wild N Out, though, it's like, like, you know, Chico will tell you, the first season that we was there, it was like, come on, we got it. We were so serious, like, locked in, like, anytime the. The camera.

[Karlous Miller]

How long did it take y' all to get, like, relax and just get comfortable and be like.

[Guest]

That's what I'm saying after, you know, after we were there for maybe a seat.

[Chico Bean]

Yeah.

[Guest]

I say, yeah, like you were saying, maybe two seasons. Because after you done did everything.

[Karlous Miller]

Yeah.

[Guest]

Now you like, man, they know I can rap. What if I go up here and I up, right? And then you go up there and you like it. You don't. But then it's like the freedom of, okay, even if I up, it's still gonna be better than some people's shit that they even. You know what I mean?

[Chico Bean]

Right, right.

[Rory]

That's thinking about.

[Guest]

So then once you take that pressure off of it, like, like, afraid to fail, then that's when the whole Wild N Out games really just open up to it.

[Karlous Miller]

With Nick Cannon. Cause he's somebody that, you know, we don't talk about enough. I think the platform that he's been able to build and, you know, make people a part of and help people's careers. How forthcoming is Nick when it comes to just those real conversations, like, away from the cameras where he just says black men.

[Guest]

He ain't the type of person that's just gonna say some shit just. Cause he. It sound good to you? Bro, he'll flat out tell you, look, if you want to go to the next level, do this. Hey, you ain't taking your career serious. You don't have the right management. You don't got the right people representing you. You not in. You not in the. In the loop. I'll never see you nowhere.

[Rory]

And you.

[Guest]

He look at stuff like, how many spaces can you get yourself into without having to use somebody else name or. Cause your partner got you in. It's like he want to see you in the. In the. In the. Like the entertainment world.

[DC Young Fly]

Yeah.

[Guest]

And that's where he. He can really guide you and be like, okay, now you serious? Because you doing stuff on your own merit. You took the chance. You. You making it happen.

[Karlous Miller]

And I've never heard nobody have anything bad to say about Nick.

[Rory]

Cause he gonna tell you, like, everybody not gonna be me.

[Chico Bean]

Right?

[Karlous Miller]

Right.

[Rory]

Like, everybody not gonna be your friend.

[Guest]

Everybody.

[Rory]

Like my audition. And why not? He like, I don't know what you said, but I know you funny. Imagine, like, he like, I don't know what you said, but all that right there was just funny. Imagine that was somebody that would have been somebody else.

[Karlous Miller]

Oh, yeah. And show them what I'm in.

[Rory]

They like, I gotta battle this person that's saying. And he like, you know what? We won't know unless we put them there. Yeah, let's give him a shot in order to grow. Cause he like that. Like, I know. I see that. But it's room. Always room to grow. I was never who I am. And if I ain't never get these opportunities, I wouldn't be who I am.

[Karlous Miller]

Right.

[Rory]

So let me go back and do the same thing. And that's what we do. Even with the 85 south, we'll get. We gonna get all our partner now. Green money, Bad Mafia, Clayton English we go get everybody who we got. Poor mind. We go get everybody who we like. Because we done been in that position before. Yeah, we just, like, it's audition time. Instead of you trying to bring us everything you got. We know what you got. We know your potential. You just need a workspace. Yeah, yeah.

[Guest]

Like you said, if people told you how good of a person Nick Cannon really was, you wouldn't believe it, though. Like when me and Chico first got there and wild. Nah, you wasn't there yet, bruh. Everybody on there got a Nick Cannon story where he went, like, over and beyond. Like, it was this one producer, remember, he said he invited Nick to his niece's birthday party and Nick bought her a pony.

[Chico Bean]

Yeah.

[Guest]

This like, this is real.

[DC Young Fly]

Like, I believe it.

[Chico Bean]

True story.

[Rory]

A damn pony.

[Guest]

True story.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[DC Young Fly]

And then I would be mad.

[Guest]

You know, you just talking shit in conversation. And then he buy a pony. Now you got a pony. Like you got a whole baby horse.

[Chico Bean]

To take care of now.

[DC Young Fly]

Yeah, you gave me a chore.

[Rory]

You can have a yard.

[Karlous Miller]

I'm a feed this for how much animal?

[DC Young Fly]

That's a great bit.

[Chico Bean]

My first introduction to what fame looked like was with Nick. This was before Wild N Out even came back. One of my close friends named Dolly Bishop was working with Nick. She's the head of the Black Effect Podcast network now.

[DC Young Fly]

Shout out to Dolly Love.

[Chico Bean]

We went to Six Flags. He had did like an open mic show up here that Fresh Faces of Comedy, and we went to Six Flags and he was like, man, you can come kick it. You know what I'm saying? Mind you, at this time, this nigga don't know I'm just a nigga with a nigga. You know what I mean? But just seeing the way that he conducted himself with fame was like, my first vision is like, is this really what I want to do? And seeing the way that he conducted himself let me know that, okay. It's a space for people who had a mentality like me, who really don't give a fuck about all of that. I'm just going to do whatever it is I came to do. I'm still going to have a good time. I'm acknowledged the people, I'm going to show them love, but at the same time, I'm still going to live. And that's one of the highest levels of fame at that time that I had ever even been in that close proximity to. So knowing him in that capacity and being around him for so many years, like, you just know that the vision that he has, man, that's what I don't think people give him credit for. Cause, you know, usually when somebody has that vision to be able to attach themselves to this many people who he's had a hand in pushing forward, you think about us and Matt rife and you know what I mean? Pete Davidson, Kevin Harris, Kevin Har, everybody. You know what I'm saying? To have that vision, to be able to say and not be walking around boasting about it, gives you insight into the type of.

[Rory]

He never talk about it.

[Karlous Miller]

He never see Nick saying, yo, you know, I helped. You know, I did this. You know, I don't even see nickname do interviews like that.

[Rory]

But you know what he. But I do what he said he in order for you to show appreciation, he just want to know, will you come back?

[Karlous Miller]

Back. Okay, I respect that.

[Rory]

He human, you know what I'm saying? He like, come rock with us.

[Chico Bean]

[Karlous Miller]

You not gonna get two. Just come back and show love.

[Rory]

Come rock with that one time. And guess what? Everybody, Everybody come back.

[Chico Bean]

[DC Young Fly]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, why not? For what Nick has done for everybody. You look weird, but it show.

[Rory]

But it shows us like we on a come up and we see folk coming back and he be like, okay, we in the right space.

[Karlous Miller]

In the right space.

[Rory]

Cuz guess what? We gonna have to come back one day.

[Karlous Miller]

Yeah.

[Rory]

All right.

[Karlous Miller]

[DC Young Fly]

[Karlous Miller]

No things like that. No. Things like.

[Rory]

No, you can't just pick.

[Karlous Miller]

Well, no, no. But that's the biggest attraction is the dolphins in the west.

[Chico Bean]

I bet the dolphins probably Hating like a mother. Another pay cut so they can pay Soulja Boy and Bow. That's crazy.

[Rory]

They brought Bow Wow.

[DC Young Fly]

They did Yang and Yin Yang twins already.

[Rory]

Yin Yang twin went crazy. Yeah, I saw that one.

[DC Young Fly]

Hold up, Jonas that Jones this Saturday.

[Rory]

Hold up. But can we all take note of that? When people always try to save their business, who.

[Karlous Miller]

They come to us. But I said that. I said they using hip hop culture, culture again to make SeaWorld quote, unquote, cool.

[Chico Bean]

Use the black whales and the black man.

[Karlous Miller]

They do that with crazy everything. Anything on the planet that needs to be looked at as cool has to come through us.

[Chico Bean]

Yeah.

[Karlous Miller]

We have to stamp it.

[Chico Bean]

That's how it's. Pay attention.

[Rory]

Why y' all ain't gonna get Vanilla Ice, man.

[Chico Bean]

That's crazy. Like that. That's. You know, I. You know what I mean with having a conversation with somebody about that. Like, our greatest export is our culture as black men. You know what I mean? That's what we give the world is our culture. But it's the thing that's been stripped of us the most in getting the credit. You know what I'm saying? Like, we rock and roll music, every form of music, and.

[Karlous Miller]

And you go down any type of culture, sports, everything comes from us. Absolutely.

[Rory]

I don't know about hockey. You think we got hockey?

[Karlous Miller]

Hockey. Hockey was. Us too. We started hockey.

[Chico Bean]

Yeah. Free slaves started in Canada. Yes, sir.

[Rory]

God damn.

[Karlous Miller]

Run away everything, bro. Like, just don't even white people right now. Like, God damn it. They can have everything behind hockey, hockey.

[Chico Bean]

I mean, the only thing you might be able to give them is nascar. They might.

[Rory]

That.

[Chico Bean]

That was, you know.

[DC Young Fly]

Talk about a great weekend.

[Karlous Miller]

Nascar? Yeah. I've never been in nascar.

[Chico Bean]

I have. We drove nascar. We drove nascar.

[Rory]

[Guest]

Yeah, he had a super rig. I rigged one.

[Chico Bean]

[Guest]

Yeah, it was on. On the first season. The white man and pulled up Bill.

[Chico Bean]

Fran senior disrespect my people.

[DC Young Fly]

That's called innovation right there. That's what that is.

[Rory]

Yeah, that was in a. I know.

[Karlous Miller]

Cars weren't that fast.

[Rory]

What the hell?

[DC Young Fly]

That wore that look like jersey.

[Chico Bean]

Nah, they still race those. And in Winston Salem, right where I live at, they still race those types of cars at Goldman Gray Stadium. Yeah, they still race.

[Karlous Miller]

You're a big car guy.

[Chico Bean]

Yeah.

[Karlous Miller]

What's your favorite car that you currently own?

[Guest]

I can't even pick a favorite. But my. One of my favorite cars is a 69 Camaro.

[Karlous Miller]

Yeah, I'm thinking about getting the old school, man.

[Guest]

I got everyone I've been fighting.

[Karlous Miller]

Which one next?

[Chico Bean]

Just get the one. If you do. Don't just get one.

[Rory]

Don't get.

[Chico Bean]

It's a daddy I'm talking about. It takes the patience of Job to deal with that. I don't know how this man does it.

[Karlous Miller]

I was looking at my homeboy out west. He. He like, he builds like a lot of old schools and he been like. Like he finds like, the cars that are already, like, kind of in the lots, and he's like, listen, we just buy this, we'll fix it up. This, that, and third. So he been sending me a couple of cars, but I don't. I don't know them, but I definitely want one.

[Chico Bean]

One.

[Karlous Miller]

I got one.

[DC Young Fly]

You going hit one pothole in the Bronx and it's.

[Chico Bean]

Yeah. I was about to say up here is crazy. Like, you would have school up here. Where would you park?

[Rory]

Going to kill your whole suspension.

[Chico Bean]

It's going to cost you more to park it than it is for you to build.

[Guest]

Don't let them talk you out. I mean, we'll. We'll put you something together real nice.

[Chico Bean]

Yeah.

[DC Young Fly]

What kind.

[Rory]

What kind of car you look. What kind of car you look like you drive?

[DC Young Fly]

Prius.

[Rory]

Like a Bronco type.

[Guest]

Maybe a. A G body, A Monte Carlo Cutlass type.

[Karlous Miller]

I'm not mad at myself.

[Guest]

Grand National. I could see you probably owning a Chevelle jail.

[Karlous Miller]

Okay.

[Guest]

Or national.

[Chico Bean]

Son.

[Rory]

Yeah, Cut this or something. Something.

[Karlous Miller]

Because you don't want to go too crazy. He's keep going back to grand national for a reason.

[DC Young Fly]

He's a. He's a vegan and he likes Elon.

[Rory]

You don't like the Grand.

[DC Young Fly]

Take that into play. That's true.

[Karlous Miller]

He's being funny.

[Chico Bean]

Oh, I forgot.

[Karlous Miller]

I'm glad you forgot.

[Chico Bean]

I forgot. Jumped in.

[Guest]

That though you be going crazy.

[Karlous Miller]

But in fairness, Los it be at the room at them. It don't really be like you'll be.

[Chico Bean]

On the Camera like you.

[Karlous Miller]

But it'd be because of what they saying. It's not really what's going on.

[DC Young Fly]

It's like all we say is like, hey, do you think the people don't.

[Rory]

Turn on your boy? They going crazy. And it's not even that serious, gang. That's crazy.

[Karlous Miller]

I mean, still making good music, making great music. That's what I'm saying. No, nothing is going to change on. On. For him personally, no. Life is going to be great.

[Guest]

I wanted to ask, what made you pick sides in the rap beef?

[Karlous Miller]

It wasn't so much about picking sides. It was the things that people were saying. It was like. It was convenient amnesia. Because it's like, all right, if you all have been outside the past 15 years, you know that this guy has dominated music the past 15 years.

[Guest]

Absolutely.

[Karlous Miller]

Let's not act like in this moment we just forgot about what he's done the last 15 years. That was my biggest thing that I just didn't like. And then it was the things that people were saying, oh, he's a culture Vogt. He's this. It's like. Like, how many n did he put on?

[Guest]

Right?

[Karlous Miller]

Like, he gave all of these dudes their biggest looks. Like, I'm not getting passionate, I'm just saying. But in that moment, I just didn't understand it. I was like. Because I don't. Because people do that a lot where they just. When it's convenient to just kind of like throw away what somebody has done.

[Chico Bean]

But you don't understand that, though. You don't get the reason why. Because it's like you look at somebody like Floyd Mayweather, who was 50 and 0, we never saw Floyd lose, but everybody tuned in to see him lose. So in the event that he would.

[Rory]

Have lost the greatness.

[Chico Bean]

Yeah, it's the greatness. Anthony would have lost. Then once that. That loss would have overshot that 49 and one. That one would have overshadowed all 49. And that's just the way society works. Like, when you see somebody who has never lost, who has been winning in front of the world the whole time.

[Karlous Miller]

And I get that.

[Chico Bean]

Take a loss, everybody conveniently forgets all the wins.

[Karlous Miller]

I get that part about it. But it was also because it is a personal relationship there. And then the pedophile thing, I didn't like because I know in person and he has a son. I didn't like that. And I was like, for Kendrick to do that, because I respect Kendrick as well. People lost that in this whole thing.

[Guest]

They act like they don't Hear you saying that.

[Karlous Miller]

Yeah.

[Rory]

And I'm like, I fuck with Kendrick.

[Karlous Miller]

But if we gonna keep it hip.

[Rory]

Hop, keep it G. Come on.

[Karlous Miller]

We don't play with that word in hip hop. You don't just throw that unless it's valid. If it's valid, then fuck that, nigga. Yeah, but if it ain't, we ain't gonna use that to just dance and. No, no, no, no.

[Chico Bean]

Okay. But in the same vein, Rory is the father of one of your children. Children.

[DC Young Fly]

Crazy thing to say, but I think.

[Karlous Miller]

It'S maybe.

[DC Young Fly]

An easy one to figure.

[Chico Bean]

Out what I'm saying. Like, I heard. It's just that, you know, when you get to going back in the war, words like that, I don't think there's any. You know what I'm saying? That's the pedophile. That's something. That's. It's crazy. But it's like, you know, you didn't. You from the street, you know what it's like when a get the joaning your mama.

[Karlous Miller]

But we ain't never play with that, though.

[Chico Bean]

No, I mean, we ain't never played with that. You know what I'm saying?

[Karlous Miller]

I done been around some. Y' all done been around classic road sessions. I bet you nobody ever called nobody that.

[Chico Bean]

Nah, not unless I've never heard anybody.

[DC Young Fly]

Say, yo, I heard you beat your wife in, like, just a jones.

[Rory]

Even. Even. Even with that funny way. Like, that's. That's strong.

[Karlous Miller]

There's no more games, there's no more jokes. There's no more. That word.

[Chico Bean]

Yeah, we don't play.

[Karlous Miller]

You don't throw that word around, bro.

[Chico Bean]

That's right up there with snitch.

[Karlous Miller]

Yeah, that's worse than that. A pedophile is the worst you could ever be in.

[Rory]

Sex offender.

[DC Young Fly]

You understand?

[Karlous Miller]

So that's why to me, it was like, if we gonna rap, let's rap. If we gonna throw shots, throw shots. But.

[Chico Bean]

Right.

[Karlous Miller]

We done seen cats in this culture, hip hop music, unfortunately, lose their lives behind words.

[Rory]

And rap beats, right?

[Karlous Miller]

And neither one of that. And neither one of those gentlemen ever used that word.

[Chico Bean]

Yeah.

[Karlous Miller]

That's all I'm. I'm from that era, so I. I know what this rap. If y' all gonna go at it, go at it. I like this. I love sport. Yeah, but we can't do that. We can't play with that, though.

[Rory]

And the crazy part, condoms in your.

[DC Young Fly]

Baby seat is kind of up there, though.

[Karlous Miller]

No, it's not.

[Chico Bean]

No, that's not the same. Yeah.

[DC Young Fly]

Condoms in your baby seat.

[Karlous Miller]

If Your baby is in the baby seat and I throw the condom on your baby.

[Rory]

That's crazy.

[Karlous Miller]

Oh, now we at a level. And he pick it up like, yeah, that's what. Now we at war. Now we at war. Now we can die behind this shit. Now we can meet up and die. Now we can meet up and die.

[DC Young Fly]

We gotta meet up and die.

[Karlous Miller]

We can meet up and die. A used condom on my baby, we could eat up and die now. But if the baby ain't there and.

[DC Young Fly]

I'm just still on. Meet up and die. If you throw a used condom on my baby seat, n I'm still meet up and die. 100% meet up and die.

[Karlous Miller]

Hell no, that ain't that.

[DC Young Fly]

You throw a used condom on my baby seat from a feet up and die.

[Rory]

Who the hell threw a condom on the baby seat?

[Chico Bean]

That was. That was. Yeah, that was.

[Karlous Miller]

That's insane.

[Rory]

You apologize for that one.

[DC Young Fly]

That was great.

[Chico Bean]

Was crazy.

[DC Young Fly]

I think H's mom made him apologize.

[Karlous Miller]

Cuz his mom made him that.

[Chico Bean]

Do you think that, you know, looking at using that as an example, do you think that there's ever reconciliation available between those two?

[Karlous Miller]

Kendrick and Drake? Yeah, absolutely not.

[Chico Bean]

So you think that if I know.

[Karlous Miller]

That they would never. They will never be. They will never. Kendrick and Drake will never be cool again.

[Chico Bean]

People said that about Nas and J too back in.

[Karlous Miller]

But they didn't go. They didn't go to that extent.

[Chico Bean]

I mean, but you know, they did to. And they went to a different extent. They was running the. Out the studio. You ran out the studio. We went, yeah, New York.

[Karlous Miller]

That's like, if I see you and we got. We had beef, then it's like, yeah, we chasing you out. That's. We've seen guys make up from Ja rule. I mean, 50 and Fat Joe was beefing heavy at one point.

[Rory]

I was just about to say, because.

[Karlous Miller]

You know, 50 and Fat Joe was beefing heavy at one point.

[Chico Bean]

For sure.

[Karlous Miller]

For sure. Now they call side at the Knick game.

[Chico Bean]

So you accustomed to Kendrick and Drake more to ja rule in 50 than to Jay and I.

[Karlous Miller]

No, the reason why the Kendrick and Drake thing is, like I said, it sits by itself in the history of rap.

[DC Young Fly]

Beef is because.

[Karlous Miller]

Because that word that was used, we've never heard that in hip hop before. We've never heard another MC call another MC a pedophile. It's never happened. I understand you don't play with that word, bro. I don't understand how people don't comprehend. And if you have kids, it's somebody like, yo, he. Are you kidding me? You will die behind that.

[Rory]

I play with kids. That's crazy.

[Karlous Miller]

You telling me that I rape children? That you telling people I rape kids. You're gonna die behind those words in this streets. That's a fact. I don't nobody need to act surprised about that.

[Rory]

Not saying nobody's gonna die.

[Karlous Miller]

No, no, not in this situation. I'm saying if we in the streets, he's like, yo, yeah, you a pedophile. Everybody's leaving. If you had a cookout on, somebody call. So, like, niggas is leaving. Like, all right, fam, we out.

[Guest]

So that was. That was too far. That's where the line got way too far.

[Karlous Miller]

You don't. You don't play with that. But if it's valid, let it be known. So then we know to immediately get this nigga out of the culture. If it's valid. But if it's just for sport and just to make a hit record and embarrass him or. Nah, we can't play. Play with that word.

[DC Young Fly]

Even. Even if the line is, I heard you like him young the same way I heard Dave Free is the.

[Karlous Miller]

And the same way.

[Rory]

Now you got his point.

[Karlous Miller]

In the same way he heard you like him young. In the same way he said, certified pedophile. Yeah.

[DC Young Fly]

Baca has a weird case. Why is he around? If you go into Baca's case that he. I'm not saying he's innocent or guilty. What? The courts of Toronto said he was around young prostitutes. Certified lover boy. Certified pedophile. He was suggesting that Baca is the one that is the pedophile.

[Rory]

Hold on, wait a minute.

[Guest]

See that a weird case.

[Karlous Miller]

It's weird.

[Guest]

The details is murky.

[Rory]

Hold on, hold on, hold on. So time out. So time. Even ad lib. Even the ad not saying he did.

[Guest]

The paperwork is questioning.

[Rory]

So even the ad lib May said that?

[DC Young Fly]

Oh, maybe.

[Karlous Miller]

Yeah.

[DC Young Fly]

I mean, yeah. You got to go through the Twitter.

[Karlous Miller]

I don't know.

[Chico Bean]

I like that name. Music.

[DC Young Fly]

Oh, Vaka makes a great. Yeah, but granted, I don't know much about the case.

[Chico Bean]

It's a weird case. Get your point.

[Guest]

We're not going to sit here and act like if we had some bad in here, we ain't going to throw some Drake on because we know that's what people.

[DC Young Fly]

Drake is one of the greatest that's ever done.

[Guest]

So we on vacation.

[Chico Bean]

We on a boat.

[Guest]

We got some bad business and some drinks and shit.

[Karlous Miller]

You gonna play his, bro. He's dominated music.

[Guest]

Come on, man.

[Karlous Miller]

But that's the part I didn't like. He was a white boy. He's all of these things now and it's like, yo, but he also helped all of these guys that are now currently dissing him.

[Guest]

Yeah, but I just, I'm the type. I never picked SZ in a rapper.

[Rory]

Yeah, I've been chilling.

[DC Young Fly]

I've been chilling the whole time.

[Rory]

Like, even I played a dis song.

[Guest]

And the response back.

[Rory]

Like, even when Meek and Drake went at it, right?

[Karlous Miller]

Yeah.

[Rory]

I wouldn't say I picked a side. I just knew the background I came from. So I was like, meek, I'm a root for you. But I'm like, this Drake is cold. Yeah, God damn.

[Karlous Miller]

But even when y' all do the white, y' all pick, y' all battling, right? I'm riding with my man, right? I'm behind my man, right? That's all it was for me. It's like, I'm behind my like, nigga, yeah, go ahead. But then when that came, I was like, whoa.

[Rory]

Right?

[Karlous Miller]

Like, what is this? Now, like said I we don't play with that type of real one for.

[Guest]

Not switching up though a lot of people did, bro.

[Karlous Miller]

I can't.

[Chico Bean]

A lot of people.

[Karlous Miller]

The easiest thing I've ever done is be myself.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Karlous Miller]

And I don't care what's happening, bro. I don't. That's which is why I never joined a gang. I never got into drugs. I grew up in one of the most treacherous parts of the Bronx, bro. Grew up in Harlem.

[Chico Bean]

Treacherous back in your mother had to been a Decepticon.

[Karlous Miller]

Yeah, I ain't that old motherfucker.

[Rory]

I was born 1981.

[Karlous Miller]

But yeah, like, you know, when you, when you, when you in those neighbors where we all come from, it's easy to fall into bullshit if you don't know who you are for sure.

[Rory]

For sure.

[Karlous Miller]

Hey, so we all make mistakes, but owning up is the right thing to do. You know a Degree Cool Rush deodorant? Well, last year they changed the formula and it did not go well with their fans.

Degree's whole thing is it turns up the sweat and odor protection when you turn up the effort. And good thing it does, because Cool Rush fans really turned up the effort to bring back the original formula. One guy even started an online petition.

And Degree Listen, they admitted they effed up and are bringing the original Cool Rush scent back. And it's exactly how you remember it. Cool, crisp and fresh. It's back in Walmart, Target and other stores now for under four.

There's a reason why it's been the number one men's antiperspirant for the last decade. It's the same reason why people were not happy when it changed. So if you never tried it, it might be a good time to see what the fuss is about.

Head to your local Walmart or Target to try the OG Degree Cool Rush for yourself.

[Chico Bean]

I'mma ask you this question, though, because I asked a lot of people coming up from that environment. I always had those type of dialogues as I come up in, growing up in dc, in the streets and all that, and was activ. But I also understand that a lot of what I didn't have to go through was because of nepotism, because of who my people were. You the beneficiary of that as well, of nepotism?

[Karlous Miller]

No, I stayed away from in the streets.

[Chico Bean]

Not, you know what I mean, as far as, like, the actual definition of it. But, you know, your brother being who he is and your people being who they are, that benefits you at all. And being able to stay away from a lot of the things you able to stay away from.

[Karlous Miller]

It benefited me in the sense that my brother, Brothers, you know, when they was in the streets, I was still very young, but they never glorified that to an extent. Like, they didn't. Like, my brother might have punched me in my face if he knew some of the shit I was doing away from them. That type, like, they never wanted me to even think about going that route.

[Rory]

It was dangerous.

[Karlous Miller]

Exactly. It was the dangers of it. You know what I'm saying? And then when they started Rockefeller, Rory knows this to this day. He was like, yo, you're crazy. I never worked at Rockefeller. I never was in a video. Like, I stayed. Excuse me. I stayed as far away from that shit as I possibly could because I felt like I wanted to carve my own lane.

[Chico Bean]

Yeah, but still, people saw you and knew.

[Karlous Miller]

Yeah, but they respected it more because they knew that I wasn't trying to get in like you said, on somebody else's name, my brother's name.

[Chico Bean]

Gotcha.

[Karlous Miller]

I wanted to go somewhere as mall. Like, I'm going in as me. If you fuck with me, you fuck with me. Not because, you know my brothers are who they are. Not because, you know if Jay Z see me right now, he gonna hop out the car like, come on, nigga, we. Like. I stayed away from that. I tried to keep that as far left as possible because I just felt like niggas might just start asking me for shit. Yo, my man rap. I didn't want to deal with none of that shit, bro. I got my homies. We do what we do. Some shit I did, I wasn't supposed to do, but again, I'm young. I'm trying to find my way. My brothers found their way, and I'm like, cool. That's dope. But I found it was hard for me to be in the studio with Jay Z all day and then get on the train and go back uptown to the hood and be like, all right, well, I was in Bentley's last night with Jay Z. I'm on the fucking D train tonight. Right? That wasn't my reality. Now, I can go be a part of that if I want to be, or I can create my own reality. So I chose to create my own reality.

[Chico Bean]

I got you. I mean, that makes sense, but that's commendable. As a man, that's commendable. But still, you gotta give credence to the fact that when you were able to look at those people in the environment that you come from and be like, man, I ain't with none of that y' all got going on. They knew that, you know, if we do something to him, we. It's some other dudes for sure.

[Karlous Miller]

No, that was.

[Chico Bean]

That was part of it.

[Karlous Miller]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, that definitely protected me and kept. You know, they knew I had brothers behind me and people that was gonna pull up, had. If anything happened.

[Chico Bean]

If anything. Right.

[Karlous Miller]

But I also wasn't a knucklehead just outside.

[Chico Bean]

Yeah, no, that's.

[Rory]

That's the good part. Sometimes you probably don't know what's going on.

[Chico Bean]

I wasn't one of the people that was out, like, you know, utilizing that to my knowledge, like, yeah, because I know it.

[Karlous Miller]

But that's. That's like if the. The one thing I don't like is when get on and make their homeboy head of security. Now, if something happened to some pop over. If you want your man to be the. That might get shot or get killed. I never understood. I'm talking about. Now, if your man is trained to kill somebody and he has, you know, a background and, you know, security, that's.

[Chico Bean]

What he does, then cool.

[Karlous Miller]

But don't just take your man off the block and like, yo, you security now.

[Chico Bean]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Why?

[Karlous Miller]

Because if it pop off, you want your man to jump in front of this. This bullet.

[Rory]

It ain't that. It's just. I'd rather have you with me versus.

[Chico Bean]

Another I know gonna go.

[Rory]

It ain't that. It's just like, I'm not gonna be in nothing. I'd rather you, right? I don't security you my security of my. You know what I'm saying? My security, my eyes and ears. I don't want to go hide nobody. And then you still on the block.

[Karlous Miller]

Yeah, but I never. I was never like. Because I've watched people walk their man into some.

[Rory]

Because that mean they ain't exactly.

[Karlous Miller]

And I was never that. I was never knucklehead. Like, whenever he. We gonna do this, I'm like, nah, I'm chilling, man. I'm in crib, bro.

[Rory]

For sure.

[Karlous Miller]

For sure. Always. I've always had discernment the type of people I was around only because I knew the dangers. I've seen it. Like I said, one of my closest friends, he's down for a murder right now. But we had lost, you know, in the early 2000s, mid 2000s, we kind of split ways. He fell into some whole other lifestyle.

[Rory]

And I'm over here.

[Karlous Miller]

But then when I heard about him, I'm like, wait, he doing what? We used to play Super Nintendo. He was cool. Coolest on the block. Now he down for a body, drugs. I'm like, you can't. It's easy to make that left, right? Right. When life hits you, you like, damn, I got these bills, baby. Mom's tripping. Fuck it. I'm gonna go get the shiesty and go run down on these niggas.

[Rory]

It's easy to do that right then.

[Karlous Miller]

To get up every morning at 7:30 and get on hard to get work.

[Rory]

For sure, for sure. And for the record, you know. You know how folk be like, you know, we control the narrative, man. We ride with it everybody. You rock With Drake, Kendrick, everybody.

[Karlous Miller]

Everybody involved with everybody.

[DC Young Fly]

I forgot we was even talking about that.

[Rory]

Yeah. You know, but you know how still be dwelling on like, hell no, man. Hey, man, we rock with everybody.

[Karlous Miller]

I with. That's one thing I pride myself. I don't got beef with nobody for sure.

[Chico Bean]

For sure.

[Karlous Miller]

If A got an issue with me, I don't even know.

[Chico Bean]

That's good. That's like.

[Karlous Miller]

If A don't like me, I'm like. Never even met that.

[Chico Bean]

But you know what?

[Rory]

When I was coming up, I always thought that was weird to me when I was like, nah. Because I used to be, like, naive to the. To the fact, like, you don't like me. What you mean? Like, what the. Because I had to do something wrong for you to like me.

[Karlous Miller]

Right.

[Rory]

In order for you. You don't wake up. Like, I don't like that. I don't like this, bro. I want raised to not like nobody.

[Karlous Miller]

Right.

[Rory]

You see what I'm saying? I'm like, why?

[Karlous Miller]

Right? What I did. Yeah.

[Rory]

What I do to make you.

[Karlous Miller]

When somebody like you, I don't like you. I'm like, all right. What I said. You heard? I said something. I said something on my show.

[Rory]

Right.

[Karlous Miller]

You didn't like it. But do you not like what I said or do you not like me?

[Guest]

Some people don't like you because other people love you, which is weird.

[Chico Bean]

Yeah.

[Rory]

I had to learn that, though. I ain't understand that for years until I got grown, like, older in high school.

[Karlous Miller]

Yeah.

[Chico Bean]

It's always been. It's never something I did to him. It's something I didn't do for him.

[Karlous Miller]

Right.

[Chico Bean]

That'll make a not.

[Karlous Miller]

But how do y' all deal with that now, with y' all success, though?

[Chico Bean]

I don't give a. Yeah, you gotta. At this point, you know, I mean, you done been through it so long, like, for all of us. Like, we from different places, but all of our backgrounds are very similar. Being that we were all somebody prior to becoming somebody in the public eye.

[Karlous Miller]

Yeah.

[Chico Bean]

So we were dealing with a lot of the things that come with celebrities before there was any real celebrity. So you kind of get a. You build up a tolerance to the bullshit you're getting talked about. Cause it's always been. I can say for all three of us, before we were. Any of us were famous, more people knew who we were than we knew. So that comes with a certain level of, you know, you having to deal with people talking about you, people having an opinion about you, people wanting to do something to you because people Love you, all of that type of stuff. So once you actually get into the fame of it and you realize it doesn't do anything but elevate. If you already got those, you know, that skill set built up and make it a little. It doesn't stop the bullshit that comes with it. Cause it's certain people that's gonna hurt you if they fuck you over, no matter what you got going on. It's just certain people that had that type of credence in your life. But as far as I know, for us, as I've watched all three of us deal with adversity and just been proud of the fact that, like, man, these niggas is warriors. These dudes are beyond strong to be able to deal with all of the shit that the world has. And then the things that the people that we are assigned to do as well. You know what I'm saying?

[Guest]

90% of the people who don't fuck with us just talk talk. But they can't talk more than us.

[Rory]

Right?

[Karlous Miller]

Right.

[Guest]

You get what I'm saying?

[Rory]

It ain't.

[Guest]

It ain't even. It's not even real. We were talking about that earlier, bro.

[DC Young Fly]

I mean, I get why people dislike us, but to dislike y', all, I could never understand who the do y' all bother.

[Rory]

It ain't even.

[Guest]

Some people hate laughing people.

[Rory]

People get mad.

[DC Young Fly]

In fan bases split and weird Internet. I understand why people could dislike Mall and I for no reason, but I get why they dislike it because they have allegiance to other people. Y' all don bother nobody.

[Rory]

No, people get mad because you are who they trying to achieve, to be.

[Guest]

Some.

[Rory]

You see what I'm saying? They like, damn, I want to be. How's he getting what I wanted.

[Karlous Miller]

And Chico, I'm like, damn, I ain't.

[Rory]

Even know we was in competition.

[Chico Bean]

Yeah, I don't even know.

[Rory]

I ain't know we was in competition.

[Chico Bean]

Yeah, that. That happens all the time. But you got to count. You got to block that out. You know what I'm saying? You can't pay attention to that. Because the reality of what people come up to us and tell us, like, it's. It's just. I look at it. I call it the rule of 100. Like, if you got 100 people in a line and 99 of them got $100 handed out for you to grab, most people will go to the last person that got their hands down and argue with them about why they ain't got nothing for them. And you pass by a hundred who got love and Gifts and admiration for you to go to the one person that has something negative to say. And that's really the mentality that when we out and people see us, it's love. So we.

[Guest]

I see all the time, bro, the motherfuckers who don't like.

[Chico Bean]

Like me.

[Guest]

Those are the same kind of people that dig in their ass and smell their finger.

[Karlous Miller]

Ass and bite their fingernail.

[Rory]

Are these even people I want to be associated with anyway?

[DC Young Fly]

They. They take a shower and then take.

[Karlous Miller]

A. I'm talking about people who wash.

[Guest]

Their ass first, then they face.

[Rory]

I don't want to be friends with them.

[Karlous Miller]

Bro.

[Rory]

These are. There are people out there that put dicks in their mouth. You think I give a.

[Guest]

What they.

[Rory]

They out of that mouth to add.

[Guest]

A dick in it?

[Rory]

I don't care, bro. You enjoy that. I can never wrap my mind.

[Karlous Miller]

We are not the same.

[Rory]

You not supposed to like me.

[Karlous Miller]

Yeah, I get why you don't like me.

[Rory]

You need to find somebody else you can fuck with. That's gonna be all right with the. That you be doing. Yeah, get a dick in his mouth.

[Karlous Miller]

He.

[Rory]

He don't even have the right mouth to say something good about a like me. That's a dick mouth.

[Karlous Miller]

This is crazy, man. This is crazy. Holy.

[Rory]

And bite the finger nails. Them people.

[Karlous Miller]

Yo, man, I'm talking about these be.

[Guest]

You ever pull up at the light.

[Karlous Miller]

And it be a.

[Guest]

And you know, they flicking the booger out the car.

[Rory]

Those are the. The people who don't like me.

[Karlous Miller]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, that's a fact, though. He right.

[DC Young Fly]

Meanwhile.

[Karlous Miller]

He right. Yeah, that's crazy. This got me.

[Rory]

You is from the country. Oh, my God, man. Country.

[Karlous Miller]

Waiting to get that off.

[Chico Bean]

People who don't like me. People digging ass smell.

[Karlous Miller]

They.

[Rory]

You know how many people do that in real life? Oh, my God.

[Karlous Miller]

Hell yeah. Weird.

[Rory]

Matter of fact.

[Karlous Miller]

Let me see what it. You know what it smell like. Smell like. Oh, my God, man.

[DC Young Fly]

I have done that with some. I was fingering.

[Karlous Miller]

I mean, that's different, man.

[Chico Bean]

That's different, man.

[DC Young Fly]

I may have even bit my nail after.

[Chico Bean]

See, that's what I mean. That's what I mean about what we do. Like, this happens all the time. People think this like, bro. Like, this happens. Oh, we make each other laugh like this all the time, man. Like when nobody's watching, when nobody's around.

[Karlous Miller]

That should happen when the cameras is off.

[Rory]

Imagine. Imagine the producer saying, you can't say that.

[Chico Bean]

Yeah, exactly.

[Rory]

And a.

[Chico Bean]

Like, man, that.

[Karlous Miller]

That.

[Chico Bean]

That I want so I can see it.

[Karlous Miller]

Have y' all had a chance to. I know we spoke to DC last time he was here about it. Have y' all had a chance to talk to Ross since. Since he walked off on.

[Chico Bean]

Yeah, we were just talking to Angie Martinez about that yesterday. Think it's nothing to talk about that.

[Guest]

This got some new cookies out, right? Some protein cookies. He just mailed me a jar of cookies.

[Karlous Miller]

Oh, yeah.

[Guest]

To the studio, though.

[Karlous Miller]

Okay.

[Rory]

We.

[Guest]

Me and DC didn't ran it. We in Atlanta, so we run into them all the time. They never been. No hard feelings.

[Rory]

I don't want to say. No hard feeling.

[Karlous Miller]

Yeah. Now, D.C. said he was hurt, but.

[Rory]

Hard feeling because. Okay, I'm gonna say, first of all, I don't give a. Yeah, yeah, I get it. But I give a. Because I fuck with you as a purse.

[Karlous Miller]

Yeah, yeah.

[Rory]

See what I'm saying? Before. Okay, let's just say before all that. That happened, right? Yeah, let's just say before all that happened, bro. I'm listening to you, Ross. I feel like you wanted to. Hey, shut the up. I'm.

[Karlous Miller]

I'm listening to you, Ross.

[Rory]

I feel like you. You probably one of the best lyricists from the south that we got. You dig what I'm saying? Like, you poetic, bro. When I listen to your music, I think you put a lot of time and effort into this from listening to your. Not only that, I. With everything you do. You with wing.

[Chico Bean]

Stop.

[Karlous Miller]

I'mma with wings.

[Rory]

We gonna go. We gonna buy. This ain't promo marketing. Like your PR team and came. Brought all this around.

[Karlous Miller]

This was. Here we was. This was set up so you can see. Yeah, we rock with you.

[Rory]

You see what I'm saying? Now, do you owe us an explanation? No.

[Karlous Miller]

Right.

[Rory]

But as who with you? Yeah, I think it's just something to say. Hey, man, just a little respect. To be like, hey, man, this is what I gotta go. This is what I got going on. Let me. I can respect that. That's. That's cool. This is when it get insulting. This is when it get insulting because we the type of people that we'll never bring up nothing that we feel like that can be diminished to your career or anything. Cause we some real.

[Karlous Miller]

Yeah.

[Rory]

The moment you lead our show, you went and did a podcast, a white podcast. You sat your ass right there for almost two hours and didn't.

[Karlous Miller]

And didn't leave.

[Rory]

And you. You talk and them white folk ask your ass. Was you a correctional officer?

[Karlous Miller]

Yeah.

[Rory]

We would have never asked you no shit like that. Nigga got respect for you.

[Karlous Miller]

Right?

[Rory]

And you Sat right there. And you answered that question so eloquently.

[Karlous Miller]

Eloquently eloquent.

[Rory]

You dig what I'm saying?

[Karlous Miller]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Like, it wasn't even disrespectful.

[Karlous Miller]

Yeah.

[Rory]

And then I get to sit back and watch that shit and be like, damn, what's the difference between them and us? Okay, now I feel disrespected, right?

[Chico Bean]

You feel what I'm saying?

[Rory]

Because it like, damn, that as a man, my. Come on, don't say money.

[Karlous Miller]

Right?

[Rory]

We. We got it right. You got it right. But, nigga, we with you, bro. Don't do us like that. And it's still love. But, nigga, yeah, don't do us like that.

[Karlous Miller]

Yeah, I respect that. I respect that.

[Chico Bean]

Thing for me was when. When he did say something about it that that kind of struck me the wrong way was when he was like, the little homies and, you know, we gonna die. You know, salute to me. I'm gonna do this for the. Well, if you really feel like we the little homies and we your little homies like that. Is that how you do your little homies? My right? Cause when you left, we ain't take none of that off the table student. We kept it right there and kept doing what we was doing. So it was never no disrespect on our part. And we've had many guests come through that, you know, we protect. We protect our people. We protect our people. So it wasn't a situation where we felt like it was something that we thought was going to go the way it went. We just got a product that we love and we love each other first. So we not going to let us look bad for nobody if we can help it. So that was the reason why it even went the way it went. But as far as, like, now getting the explanation or feel, it ain't even about, but it's just about the, you know, like you said, the. The respect and the love of just saying, hey, man, you know what I mean? If nothing else, come tell us why you left. You know what I'm saying? Come sit down and let us know. And even if you don't want to talk, if that's another thing that we can't ask you about, least come back and let us clown on the fact. Let us come back and get up and leave on you and leave you sitting on the couch one time just for fun, you know, we have.

[Karlous Miller]

We got something similar like that to somebody that. That I really fuck with as a artist. We supposed to have two chains on, right?

[Chico Bean]

That's the homie.

[Karlous Miller]

He was coming to the studio and maybe like two hours or hours before he's supposed to pull up his people hit was like, yo, he got a family emergency. He gotta get back to Atlanta. We gonna double back. You know, next time.

[DC Young Fly]

Wasn't even the studio. We had a whole thing set up in Jersey. We had a whole sketch, whole shit set up.

[Karlous Miller]

Like, we gonna shoot with him.

[DC Young Fly]

And I'm saying, what you say?

[Karlous Miller]

Family emergency. All good. Go take care of the family, bro.

[Rory]

Facts.

[Karlous Miller]

This ain't more important than. Yeah, yeah, facts. But we can't tune into the game at 7:30 and see you courtside at the Hawks game, though.

[Chico Bean]

That's a family emergency.

[Rory]

But see, y' all don't know what.

[Karlous Miller]

Y' all don't know what the family emergency was before the Hawks, though. I'm with you.

[Chico Bean]

Yeah, I'm with you. Think about it, right?

[Karlous Miller]

But I'm just saying, my first reaction was, I feel away.

[Chico Bean]

I'm like, no. But I get back, I handle the family emergency and I go to the game. That child that made me fly all the way back here and now I gotta go to the game to be able to make myself be at ease for what I just had to come home with. You know what I'm saying? So that's the way I think.

[Guest]

They don't understand, like, the dynamic of the side of having a platform. Cause people reach out to us all the time. You know what I mean? But it's not to the point where we gonna move shit around and cancel shit just to accommodate you.

[Karlous Miller]

Right?

[Guest]

So when we do make accommodations for you, a lot of times when it's not respected, then it feel crazy. You know what I'm saying?

[Rory]

And the crazy part about it don't. It did not stop me from listening to his music. Do I be a little angry as I'm listening?

[Karlous Miller]

Yeah, yeah.

[Rory]

I be like, yeah, when he come.

[Karlous Miller]

On back, yeah, turn that up.

[Rory]

A little mad, but I still pump that.

[Guest]

Not to play schematics, but, you know, so when you get people who maybe you got somebody who's a bigger star, and then they stay too, and they show love. It make you wonder, like, what the fuck really going on.

[Karlous Miller]

Yeah.

[Guest]

You know what I'm saying?

[Karlous Miller]

100%.

[Guest]

It's other mother. You're not the biggest at all.

[Karlous Miller]

At all.

[Rory]

How you look at us when it comes to our platform, Right?

[Karlous Miller]

Like, you just.

[Rory]

Is it not that important? See, that's why I was saying, like, I don't know these niggas and they Ain't even us, nigga. We gonna protect you. Like he said, we gonna protect you.

[Karlous Miller]

Yeah.

[Rory]

We gonna protect everything you stand for, everything you live for. Even if we heard some shit, we ain't need them type of nigga to bring up bullshit. You want to talk about good? He left us when he sat down and let them folk spill whatever beans they want to spill. They'd be like, bro, we would have never did no like that. And you said that and that was cool.

[Karlous Miller]

Yeah. What was different with us, right?

[Rory]

I'm hurt.

[Guest]

And we in this game with integrity, bro. It's people out here who trying their best to get on podcasts and big platforms like, you know, 85 and they want to. Man, how much is it? No, it ain't a money.

[Karlous Miller]

Right.

[Guest]

You know what I'm saying? That's the part that they be missing.

[Rory]

That's the part like, if we're not angry, it's the integrity.

[Guest]

How much to get on there, bro, it don't worry.

[Chico Bean]

Like, people say that to me all the time, what I got to do to get on the show. Whatever it is you do, keep doing that and we'll notice. Call public. We don't. Managers every pay on.

[Rory]

He pulled up.

[Chico Bean]

Cause we with him, right.

[Rory]

Even if your PR team and all the record label, hey, man, just pull up and figure out a date. Don't send us nothing, right?

[Karlous Miller]

Yeah, we pulling up on our own.

[Rory]

Time and we going to do it. Cuz we rock with these folks. We. We ain't in it for that.

[DC Young Fly]

And even with the chains thing, like, you know, I'm not putting this on serious. They were our partner at the time, but that it was facilitated through that. So I don't even know if chains had a family in emergency. It goes through three to six reps in between of what he's doing. Chains could have been like, yo, I'm exhausted. I want to go home. Respect.

[Karlous Miller]

Cool. I respect.

[DC Young Fly]

And I would have been like, the amount of times I've had to do interviews and I just be like, yo.

[Karlous Miller]

I. I can't, I can't.

[DC Young Fly]

He could have said that. And they trying to keep relationships on whatever universal and serious is and just made up some, like, family emergency. May have not even known that that was said to us at that One.

[Rory]

Thing I do know, in between when the agents and all that, sometime people don't respect the relationship you and the artist got.

[Karlous Miller]

Yeah.

[Rory]

So some might have been said, they may think it ain't that serious. And you be like, oh, wait a minute. Time out. Like Them my folk. And they like, oh, I ain't know. Like, no, don't push them to the side. They're my people.

[Karlous Miller]

Don't give them the.

[Rory]

The Hollywood. Them my folk.

[Karlous Miller]

Yeah. I called them personal. I called them personal.

[Rory]

I wanted to set that up. That was no PR thing, right?

[Karlous Miller]

Yeah. So let's talk about the people y' all have signed. Signed your poor minds.

[Guest]

Yeah.

[Karlous Miller]

Shout out to Dre and Lex. That's. That's our family. What was the. What was the mindset behind it? I just wanted to bring some ladies on and say, listen, we need to have some ladies representing this thing.

[Guest]

Yeah, that basically it. And they had a joint that they were doing out the crib. They invited me on, and I was like, y' all got some good chemistry. Y' all know how to keep a flow going.

[Chico Bean]

And y'.

[Karlous Miller]

All.

[Guest]

Y' all appealing. People will look at you and y' all talking about something, for sure. So it's like, we got the platform. Let's see how we can build a relationship. Because whether it's us that fuck with y' all or not, y', all, if y' all stay consistent and keep doing this, somebody gonna notice all these things that I'm noticing.

[Karlous Miller]

Yeah.

[Chico Bean]

So it's just.

[Guest]

We extended the. The shit.

[Rory]

The.

[Guest]

The olive branch, the family tree. They come over here and fuck with us in the. Until we figure it out, right? Until y' all figure it out. Just come over, like the same way. We use this to groom out my talent, to groom my interview skills. Come over here. I mean, it ain't. You know, I mean. Oh, cultivate. Yeah, come cultivate the talent. See if we can. If we can figure out something where it works for everybody. And that's exactly what happened. And for. To see what they doing, bro, we called it way before they even. We sat around like, bro, they. They working because we pulling up to the studio and. You mean the tip they put been here.

[Chico Bean]

Oh, they.

[Guest]

This ain't we not.

[Rory]

We got to oversee them.

[Guest]

We don't have to tell them to come to the studio.

[Karlous Miller]

Yeah, they.

[Guest]

They put the work in, bro. And it's like that type of stuff separates you from the pack.

[Karlous Miller]

Absolutely. What.

[DC Young Fly]

What else you think separates it, cuz? I mean, obviously, podcasts have become the new mixtape, the new T shirt, the new merch black. It's been the fast.

[Guest]

Like I said, they self motivated. They work, bro. I'm telling you, there been times we could pull up at 9, 10, 10 o'.

[Rory]

Clock.

[Guest]

They've been there since 9, 10 o'.

[Chico Bean]

Clock.

[Guest]

On some real. Like, why y' all still here? Oh, we get ready to go out of town. So we trying to. You know what I'm saying? Like, they watched us and they picked up a lot of our good habits. Then we saw they grind and then they. We incorporated some of the things that they was doing. Moving stuff around, trying to figure out times. Like, what work are we at daytime? Do we work better in the daytime or the nighttime? Some of these days we need to get up and. And hit it on a Saturday morning. Okay, let's take it on the road. Let's go get some BTs. Like, they sit around and they soak up game, bruh. And they not sitting around waiting on somebody to give them something. They actually go get it, right? So big salute to boy minds. Just like everybody on the team.

[Rory]

Moneybag.

[Guest]

Moneybag. Clayton English like, bro, we got a family of people around us who are self motivated and they keep us motivated, and those are the people we want around us.

[Karlous Miller]

So tour life for y', all, man. Cause y' all been spin the block. Y' all been doing some. I mean, the theaters, the rooms, how y' all packing them out is inspiration, inspirational. It's motivational, man. I'm just. Just happy to see it. But like, what's the mindset of watching it happen and come to fruition? Y' all go on the stage in the theater, and the whole theater is sold out and everybody is here for the arena.

[Rory]

Sold out.

[Karlous Miller]

The arena is sold out. My bad. Pardon, sir. No, no, no, no, no. Cause it's a difference between the theater, bro.

[Guest]

From the smallest club to the look to the medium club to the biggest club.

[Rory]

We.

[Guest]

Keep growing, brother, the small, little Smith's old bar into the small comedy club and then just grinding and doing five shows, six shows, eight shows in a day.

[Chico Bean]

We had two shows at 2 o'.

[Guest]

Clock in the afternoon. Selling out in comedy clubs, bro. And it's like, man, this is unreal.

[Rory]

Made me believe everything.

[Guest]

Small club to medium club, theater, arena.

[Chico Bean]

Wow.

[Guest]

Everything in between is like that feeling never went away, bro. It's like, it's still. We were excited the first time we sold 150 tickets. Like, bro, we sold it out. And then just like to go to sell 13, 15,000. It's amazing when you walk out there and it's like really came to watch us talk shit.

[Chico Bean]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Crazy people live like it.

[Chico Bean]

We did. We did. We did what? We. We did what? Four shows in a day in Nashville. We did four shows in one day.

[Rory]

Bring it back.

[Chico Bean]

Alabama. Alabama was first we did six in Alabama, but I'm talking about we did four in the theater in Nashville. Remember we did that two o'. Clock. Then we had the.

[Guest]

We did that in Birmingham.

[Chico Bean]

Birmingham.

[Guest]

Walking out the show, just coming back, getting back in line, bro.

[Chico Bean]

Yeah, 2 o'. Clock. Then we. We had a 2 o', clock, then we had a 4:30, then we had a 7, 6, and then we had a 9, 9:30, all in the same day.

[Rory]

And guess what? I was telling them, man, what the we gonna say in these shows? I was like, I'm just. I'm so used to doing one.

[Karlous Miller]

Yeah, yeah, man.

[Rory]

I'm folk like, man, we got three. I'm like, what we gonna do? They like, man, just go out there.

[Karlous Miller]

I'm like, be who you are.

[Rory]

That worked by that. By the end of that night, I ain't have to question what we were gonna do ever again.

[DC Young Fly]

Does that grind come from stand up, you think?

[Chico Bean]

It just comes from. From, you know, a combination of understanding that the fun that we about to have, that we're about to have on this st is because we never know, you know what I'm saying? Like, what just happened with digging in your ass and smelling your face? Like we know that it's going to be however many of those moments.

[Rory]

That was a crazy example. I was like, where you going?

[Chico Bean]

I'm just saying.

[DC Young Fly]

By the third show, you got to smell. I've been on stage three times.

[Chico Bean]

In that space. And knowing that, you know, doing it.

[DC Young Fly]

With the claw is crazy how much.

[Chico Bean]

Fun we about to have. And knowing that, you know what I'm saying, there is no preparation for what we're going to do. So it's always an excitement of not knowing what the crowd is going to give us, what we going to give each other, what the environment is going to breathe. So you excited. It's fun. You know what I mean? You never had to get geared up to have fun. You excited to have fun. And as.

[Karlous Miller]

As long.

[Chico Bean]

As long as you having fun, when you. With what you're doing, you'll never work. You know, that's a real bill. Like, if you really love what you're doing, you'll never work a day in your life. Like, for sure. We ain't had to work at all on stage. Like, it's work. The work, don't get it wrong, comes off the stage. It's the prepper to being the type of. When we get on the stage, like, I. There's never a time I know these two are there. Yeah, they know. He know we there. He know we there. Like, there's nothing do to worry about. Like, you can't have an off night. It's impossible. Because these dudes, we all got each other no matter what happens, you know?

[Guest]

And we got better fans than anybody else.

[Karlous Miller]

Yeah.

[Guest]

[Chico Bean]

Don't. With the.

[Guest]

The crowd, like, it'll be somebody with a disability. They'll come up to the meet and greet and then they'll like, not be saying nothing. And look and be like, y' all ain't say about me and be like, walk off.

[Chico Bean]

No, just. Here, take the leg.

[Guest]

[Rory]

Because we gotta. We gotta. What you do with the leg?

[DC Young Fly]

Like, you kept.

[Chico Bean]

He said he wanted to kick it.

[Rory]

We used it.

[Guest]

We bent the knee like the leg was running like a displaying Foot Locker.

[Karlous Miller]

We used it.

[DC Young Fly]

But see, the crazy we had was actually in D.C. we had a six month old baby.

[Karlous Miller]

Why you keep saying six month? That would be a privilege. That baby was six days old.

[DC Young Fly]

Six days old.

[Rory]

Maybe that's a premature baby. What happened?

[Karlous Miller]

Hospital. She just had her baby and she.

[DC Young Fly]

Came on stage and was like, you're going to sit on stage for the rest of the show.

[Chico Bean]

She just sat babies, man. We didn't sang to babies at shows.

[Guest]

Little six year old walking around, walking around.

[Rory]

He was selling honey bun.

[Guest]

No, we gave him the hon.

[Chico Bean]

You gave him the honey buns and sale.

[Rory]

But it be kids.

[Chico Bean]

People that came, came pregnant to the show and then brought the baby back to the show.

[Rory]

To hide the baby. Had the baby up. We like that, that one titty just look a little too big.

[Guest]

So we got this little five, six year old kid walking around. Hey, who that dude becoming over there.

[Chico Bean]

To see your mama, Rodney? Yeah, you know what I'm saying? I mean we'd have had teenage 13, 14 years old. I mean we was in Durham when D.C. was, you know, with the little. He was like, I'm 14. And we, you know, all of those type of moments, like these are moments throughout the years that people have got to, to see, you know, that show how genuine and how the connection that we have with people is like a different type of connection. These people are coming because they feel like they coming to.

[Rory]

You know what I'm saying? You got people who probably be going through shit, you dig what I'm saying? And don't know how to cope with it. Don't know how to react with it. You feel me? And once they see us saying, hey man, listen, here's a space that you can come to that whatever you feel like is wrong. We gonna sit here and say, you all right?

[Karlous Miller]

We gonna show you what next two.

[Rory]

And a half hours.

[Chico Bean]

Don't none of that matter.

[Rory]

Don't none of that matter. We equal eye to eye, right? You got a little nub. Let me tell you what's powerful with that nub. Let me tell you what's powerful with that leg that you just handed to Chico. You know how much confidence that is. If you can take this off somewhere else, somebody gonna be like, what's wrong with you? We turning it around and said, no, that was gangster.

[Guest]

Hey, I remember one show we had. You remember this Chico, you help dude with the real bad stuttering joint.

[Rory]

Yeah. Sc so bad it helped him. He like, no, no, no, no, no.

[Karlous Miller]

I'd rather stutter.

[Rory]

I told him, I said, say so. He said so. Whole sentence came out clear. Scared the out of him. Yeah, he like, I rather stutter. He said, no, cause I make money stuff.

[Chico Bean]

We had a dude, we had a dude. I don't know what he had, but we just started rapping, making a song, I can walk. And he got up and walked down the aisle like it Was like, he hadn't walked in so long, and he just really got up and started walking, talking. So, you know, those type of things happen. And we. There's no way you can again. You can't plan for that, right? Like, yeah, we gonna have one of those. The Pentecostal Church moments and just go get up and walk down the aisle. Like, nah, you get. It just happens organically. So that lets you know that it's.

[Guest]

Amazing, the art of, like, improv. Not even. Not even just roasting, bro. It's just making fun of people to the point where it's like, ah, bro, I was holding that in. I'm so glad y' all said it. So now I can really relax.

[Chico Bean]

Right?

[Guest]

Okay.

[Chico Bean]

Yeah, I got the.

[Karlous Miller]

Yeah.

[Guest]

I'm the lady with the land.

[Karlous Miller]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Come right.

[Guest]

It's like, bro, we. It's family roast.

[Karlous Miller]

Take them insecurities out the way, man. Don't worry about none of that.

[Rory]

That ain't no such thing as insecurity, cuz even with us on stage, we got our own problems and our own things we got to deal with.

[Chico Bean]

We all do.

[Rory]

So when we incorporate all the problems together, we be like, look, y', all.

[Karlous Miller]

We all got problems.

[Rory]

Look what we do with it. We just make fun of it and say people outside of here think it's something wrong with us. Yeah, ain't nothing wrong with us. We just going to find a way where we can cope with it, but we can deal with with it. Where we got the confidence to go out there and show people. Like, this may be a nub to you.

[Karlous Miller]

Right?

[Rory]

But I'm super strong.

[Chico Bean]

Right?

[Rory]

You just don't know that, cuz. You looking at the nub. If I was.

[DC Young Fly]

Black.

[Karlous Miller]

That like a little hammer.

[DC Young Fly]

Like a rapper from Jurassic Park.

[Guest]

Yeah, man.

[Chico Bean]

And we.

[Guest]

We roast each other in the car.

[Chico Bean]

We. We always stop. Hey, no. Yeah, we all. This is the top.

[Rory]

That's one of the best oldest brother joke I've ever heard.

[Chico Bean]

My hat off one time. And this. Still I laugh at this randomly just because this fly just looked at me and said just like, man, this is stupid, man. Like, if we all have said to each other bad. And it just be like, man, it. You can't. You can't make. You can't make it up. There's no way you can plan for that. We would be lying if we said that, you know, when we first got together and first started doing it, that it would turn into. When it turned into. But, man, look.

[Rory]

Look like he got a disability. Sure, that's a Disability, man.

[DC Young Fly]

I love that you own that.

[Rory]

That is a disability. Look how quick you trying it to put.

[Chico Bean]

Put that. Yeah.

[Rory]

18. Asking what he would have done there.

[Karlous Miller]

Chico did that set the Internet on fire. That was crazy.

[Chico Bean]

No, it's a meme now. Like, they got it. It's a. Like a company keyboard that is. No, seriously, across all corporations. And that picture of me with my hat off looking on that is in there like, I'm in coming. Be sending that to each other at corporations all around the world, man. So it's like, you know, I mean, you gotta take that. It. It is what it is.

[Guest]

But that's what comedy is supposed to do, bro. Absolutely healing.

[Karlous Miller]

Absolutely.

[Guest]

You know, I mean, it's inclusive. And we don't never go crazy on somebody to try to make them feel excluded from the group. Unless it go there. It can go there and it still got. But we don't never try to alienate nobody.

[DC Young Fly]

I think keeping it is a disability.

[Chico Bean]

Oh, yeah, man. I love it though, man. And that's, you know, what's crazy about it. Like, it was during the pandemic. Like, it was. It was. It's really in. In line with what we talking about. We don't give a what people think about us, man. Like, none of us do. We all wear whatever it is we got going on in front of the world. We have to look what we do for a living. Look the type of y' all can't talk about. So when the pandemic came around and people thought I was hiding my hairline, I put that up and at that time, that got the most engagement I had ever got on anything. And it was just like, people really think I give a fuck? Let me show em how much I don't. And then it took on a life. I feel like now when I cut it, people gonna be mad at me.

[Karlous Miller]

Oh, for sure.

[Chico Bean]

Like, people.

[Rory]

If you get the ball head, I'm gonna be mad at you.

[Karlous Miller]

I'm like, yo, yeah, why don't we do that?

[DC Young Fly]

Can I make you resent ball for one second? You see my edges are starting to go right here. It's just, you know, I'm getting at that point.

[Rory]

I see you trying to swirl it too. Like, trying to swirl. You probably try to do a little white boy swirl. That ain't going to work. That ain't going to work.

[DC Young Fly]

I'mma cut it down tomorrow. But listen, Maul, take your head off. He hides the most flawless hairline I've ever seen in my life.

[Rory]

That's crazy. Why do you don't mess up your hairline. No, that's.

[DC Young Fly]

He's hiding that.

[Chico Bean]

Oh, man. I mean, you know. No, you never know. You never know the season.

[DC Young Fly]

I'm sitting here struggling and he's hiding perfection.

[Chico Bean]

Yeah. You know.

[Rory]

And you got on the fitted.

[Chico Bean]

So you know exactly how much I've been wearing hats for so long. I think it. Because I was. But people. For now it's gotten to the point. This is taking on the life of his own so much that people forget. I was bald for a decade. Yeah, I had. I was bald on TV for a decade. You know what I'm saying?

[Rory]

He said he gonna grow it. Hell, I said no. He did.

[Chico Bean]

During the.

[Rory]

Just a sad.

[Guest]

I grow a little George Jefferson. Make it look like some Pegasus wings or something.

[Rory]

Put some.

[DC Young Fly]

Wait, when y' all did. When y' all did Joe and Jada did. Did Kiss have his hairline? Where's Kiss at these days? Kiss got a hairline.

[Chico Bean]

Trying to tell me to go to Turkey. He was like, yo, you need to go to Turkey. You only need a little bit.

[DC Young Fly]

Go to Turkey, go to Turkey.

[Rory]

You only need. Yo, that is disgusting.

[DC Young Fly]

Yo popped up with a hairline that was the craziest in the world to me.

[Chico Bean]

That's what. That's what started the conversation. Los was like, you the only. That we thought was bald and was high. He said that, you know, I mean, he was like, I'mma go ball. He went ball first and then he told Styles and Chic that when y' all go bald, then I'mma grow my back.

[Karlous Miller]

That's fucked up.

[Chico Bean]

That's disrespectful.

[Rory]

I'm not even going to lie. Ball head. Your head has to be shaped for it.

[DC Young Fly]

Yeah, yeah.

[Karlous Miller]

Or you just got to have like a beard.

[Rory]

No, if you got a bald head, that mean that was a bad haircut. That means you have to cut it.

[Chico Bean]

All off, grow it back.

[Rory]

You got to grow back correctly. Cuz I. I had one bald in my life.

[Karlous Miller]

Why somebody you up.

[Rory]

I myself up. Okay, I take that back.

[Karlous Miller]

I.

[Rory]

My nephew up first cut his off and I was like, you know what? I ain't going to let you be too ball hand.

[Degree Ad]

Okay. Have you heard about this? Last year, Degree changed the formula for their Cool Rush deodorant. Their fans rebelled and wanted the old Sim back. And ° listen, that does it. Doesn't happen often.

They admitted that they effed up and are bringing the original Cool Rush scent back. And it's exactly how you remember it. Cool, crisp and fresh. There's a reason it's the number one Manzani purse Sprint and is back in Walmart, Target and other stores for under $4.

So try it and see what the fuss is about. Head to your local stores to try the OG cool rush for yourself.
