[Lou Young]

And my daddy's a Libra. So my daddy always be like, man, Bernie a Libra. He like us. So, like, he would let me watch him. We sneak.

[Jamila]

But, like, yeah, so, like. Like, Jamie Fox, Dave Chappelle Martin, Eddie Murphy, like, them got, like. So I just. I used to, like, sneak and watch these, like, you know, parental advisory comedy specials with all the cussing and impersonated this editor. I love Saturday Night Live. I just. From there, I just always wanted to do it. So once I got to college, they would always have me do, like, media stuff, like promo for the games or making my own little skit. So I was starting to really. I didn't know I was doing skits, but I was doing skits in college for free, though. And they promoting all these fucking tickets that they selling out for.

[Jamila]

At Georgia Tech, you were slaving for real.

[Lou Young]

[Lou Young]

But so, like I said, like, that's just how it happened. And then. And then when I got to the league, like I said, my rookie year, four different teams. So as a rookie, they're hazing. Not, like bad hazing. It's like a talent show, okay? Like, you gotta. You gotta Go up there, state your name, what was your signing bonus?

[Mecca]

[Lou Young]

Look, anything that happened, none of that went down.

[Jamila]

Statute of limitations. Yes.

[Lou Young]

Yeah, I ain't get down with that. But they just said I was trying to fight it. Like I was like, bro, I ain't about to. You got the white folk coming down from upstairs and I'm trying to make the team and shit. Like I ain't doing anybody made me look crazy. Anyways, I did it and had everybody laughing, even white folks and. But I got cut and so when I went to my next team, I had to do another one because I was still a rookie.

[Jamila]

So this was just a thing about all the teams. They all just get down like that.

[Lou Young]

But you think like after training camp you do it, you know, done. But for me, I was still a rookie. Getting shot from month to month from a different team.

[Mecca]

Getting your letters and they say get out. Yeah, that's horrible.

[Lou Young]

I had a, I had a lease. I broke like four leases that year.

[Mecca]

You should just went on craigslist and got a room at that point.

[Lou Young]

Honestly, I days in one of them. You know what I'm saying?

[Mecca]

Like island how he said I don't even got a place. I'll leave alone. Not here.

[Lou Young]

And. And that's what.

[Mecca]

But a lot of, A lot of like athletes do that nowadays.

[Lou Young]

What's that?

[Mecca]

Like they don't do like leases. Like they'll just do month to month or they'll just kind of crash on couches because they know like they're only working from this point a little bit.

[Lou Young]

See now that's popular. Now then they were strict. If I had that, I. That's why by my fifth year I got to Arizona. We'll talk about that another time. But I crashed on this girl. I had to. I had to. This is too much. Too much.

I mean, we've had similar experiences.

[Lou Young]

I know y' all have. Yeah, please. I know. Oh, hey, bro. That one you did. Oh, shit.

[Jamila]

You know, I feel like I've had the, like, the hater experience. Experience of a boy. But boys hate differently. Boys hate to know a different way. They'd be like, I mean, it ain't even like that.

[Lou Young]

Like.

[Jamila]

Yeah, you wish.

[Lou Young]

You wish.

[Jamila]

Yeah, it gets like that.

[Lou Young]

No, I'm. I'm not surprised because you. That's how dudes hate. Like, you know, locker room or, you know, home. But whatever. Like, are you. Oh, you got. Oh, you got. With Sean. Oh. Oh.

[Jamila]

She didn't even like that for me.

[Lou Young]

I mean, I heard some.

[Mecca]

I mean, I know you for real.

[Jamila]

Like, you don't even. You know what I'm saying? Just dry hating. But I've also had dudes where it's kind of like, they're kind. It seems like. Oh, you're intrigued. You're so intrigued.

[Mecca]

I went on a first date one time and the picture joint happened on the first date, mind you, I'm in, like, somewhat of a decent restaurant, and it was like, the girl was very lit. So that's how she even got the nerve up, because it was like a sit down. We're all slightly nicely dressed. Like, you would not approach no one's table. But she was throwing it back and she came, made a whole big deal, like. And he was looking at me because I don't. I like for niggas to act like they don't know. So I didn't know if he knew about my social media.

[Lou Young]

Okay.

[Mecca]

So he just sitting there. This is why I end up fucking with him so long. He's sitting there like this.

[Jamila]

Gotcha.

[Mecca]

Like, I love how much your people.

[Jamila]

Oh.

[Lou Young]

Negro dumbas. I like that, though. I like that.

[Mecca]

That was a good answer.

[Lou Young]

He was a poetic type. See, I with See, like that's sharp.

[Mecca]

That was sharp. It was a sharp response. Because if he had got irritated, I actually would have underst. That's like one of the few situations where I was starting to get irritated. So if he had got irritated and said something, I wouldn't even held it.

[Jamila]

But it's like, match my vibe if I'm cool. If I'm irritated, you be irritated, right? Don't you be irritated and meaning I'm happy. Go lucky, right? Ew. I don't like that. Have you had people like try to clock your tea though? As in like, oh, so is this who you're with or try to take pictures of you being out with people?

[Lou Young]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I caught. Yeah, yeah. We was in LA or something.

[Mecca]

That's about right.

[Lou Young]

And I think my brother. I think he was it la. It might be. Yeah, I think it might have been. He caught. He caught the mother with the fl. With the flash.

[Jamila]

Oh, flash on.

[Mecca]

It's always not you catching it, but those around you who are catching it.

[Lou Young]

He caught it with the flash. He said, bro. And I, I was a little, you know, you was like midwalk and like I'm turning, you know, saying, I'm with my.

You see what I'm saying?

[Mecca]

What you were getting at?

[Lou Young]

Like you.

[Jamila]

I like it more than little. Little irritated me that now. Ew.

He looked like my uncle. So big bro. Come on, fam. You don't even know my. I was like, fam.

[Mecca]

He's just trying to assert some authority and respect on you.

And then my brother Shaq came over and he said look bro, just get. Just delete it. That's it, just delete it. I look, I look. And I just said, I just said right there.

[Jamila]

Because now you're. Because now I feel like your intentions are weird.

[Lou Young]

There you go.

[Jamila]

And I don't like that because now you're trying to create a narrative.

[Mecca]

Honestly, in the, in this day and age people will take videos. Videos of you to post with some crazy ass. Like it don't be good intention. Like you're posting this because even if I'm just doing something really normal.

[Jamila]

You're gonna make it weird.

[Mecca]

You're gonna make it weird and make fun of me. And like I'm really big on. I don't. I did not build my platform. I do not put people who don't know they're on camera on camera. I don't even like putting my family on camera. But like you know how some people make their content like they're videotaping other people?

[Lou Young]

I do not believe like, like. But. And it's like from that distance type. Yeah.

[Mecca]

It be like oh look at them over there. And then the video go viral. Cuz they might be doing something or it's your commentary on what they're doing that makes it go viral. I don't like that type of content.

[Lou Young]

Like I keep my. That so if I'm like. If I'm on the go a lot of times clips just happen. So if I'm want to go. I'm paid to be there to capture and make my content. Right.

[Jamila]

Yeah.

[Lou Young]

So I'm working.

[Mecca]

Well that's different.

[Lou Young]

And it's like I'm saying but the camp for you. So it ain't like that camera there.

[Jamila]

[Lou Young]

So if you wanna. Oh lady, if you want to jump in here, come on baby. You see me working now and now.

[Jamila]

You'Re gonna be a part of it.

[Lou Young]

Right.

[Mecca]

That's completely different.

[Lou Young]

So that's what I'm saying. But I feel you on that but.

[Mecca]

What you're talking about, like, how they were videotaping y' all and she ain't know it.

[Lou Young]

Yeah, like, we ain't no nobody working right now.

[Jamila]

Yeah, that's like we're. We're not in that setting. Like, we're completely ourselves. You. You see that? Like, respect that angle, please, nigga.

[Mecca]

Yeah, yeah. It gets weird.

[Lou Young]

A nigga leaning over.

[Jamila]

Leaning like. Leaning over is crazy.

[Mecca]

Leaning over is like, you could.

[Jamila]

If you gonna be slick, be slick, you know, hit one of them.

[Lou Young]

There you go.

[Jamila]

You know, like, I respect the slick.

[Mecca]

At least act like you're taking.

[Jamila]

You know what I'm saying? Do something. You over there leaning, being all loud.

[Lou Young]

I see your arm, nigga. Extendo.

[Jamila]

That's ridiculous. Okay, so let's. Let's get into some Internet, you know, because you do a lot of content on the Internet. It can get a little sticky. We have dealt with our fair share of quote unquote cancellations. We don't like them. They're mean girls. They're this, they're that.

[Lou Young]

People. People. People come at y' all like that.

[Jamila]

That's what they be saying.

[Lou Young]

But see, and I was just. Know what's cra. When I walked in. Well, obviously, I've been a fan of you. I didn't know your name, but I. I guess, cuz I'm such a fan of you. I see your stuff also, and I just like, man, like, these women are talented as I, I, I like genuine. I like, I like genuine talent. When I say genuine talent, it's like, it's not forced, you know, male or female, like, it's just not forced. So I was like, I get a. Just a genuine subject matter stuff, like it's relatable. And y' all speaking from real life, like, real deal examples. So I kind of. I'm just confused as to how somebody could really take y' all stuff and try to get upset.

[Mecca]

We'd be confused. Happen.

[Jamila]

We are also confused.

[Lou Young]

Is it women? Well, more so women.

[Mecca]

I don't beef with men, so we should start it there.

[Jamila]

I don't beef with nobody, actually.

[Lou Young]

Why is it that the women, they just like niggas, though? So I can say that too, as a man. But I do feel like the women get. I just learned this term more catty towards other women.

[Mecca]

Yes.

[Lou Young]

Why is that? Especially when they're making a name for.

[Jamila]

Themselves as a girl's girl, I. I can't put myself in that type of shoe to understand their perspective. Cuz. I've never been a hater Well, I lied. I do be hating, but not out loud in that way.

[Lou Young]

But see, I feel like I'm an.

[Mecca]

Ethical hater, but exactly like I hate cola. If you eat coleslaw, you're a weirdo.

[Lou Young]

Hello.

[Jamila]

Well, now, hold on.

[Mecca]

Ka only belongs on. You eat coleslaw raw. You're insane.

[Lou Young]

Coleslaw only belongs in that little container it comes in and you leave it there. After you finish eating your food, you throw it away.

[Mecca]

Don't touch it.

[Lou Young]

You do not touch it.

[Jamila]

It's refreshing and a good crunch.

[Lou Young]

My dad likes it. I'm like, bro, what he be like, you going to eat that? No, I'm not going to eat that.

[Jamila]

I'm grabbing Nicole Sloth. Yeah. Let me go and get that from JJ's. Give me a couple. Let me give them cups.

[Mecca]

That's disgusting.

[Jamila]

Give them, Slide them cups.

[Lou Young]

I haven't had JJ's a little minute. Yes.

[Jamila]

Why them cups? But, you know, I don't know. I think it's, it's a couple of things. I think with women, for some reason, society makes us competitive in general. Like, it can only be a few. And I think that seeps into the spirit of some women. So they feel this competitive spirit where it's like, it can only be me.

[Lou Young]

You mean, like, because y' all are enter. I, I, I would classify y' all as just entertainers all around. Entertainers. Right. But y' all have a comedic.

[Jamila]

That's what I'm saying. She's not a she. What I'm saying is her age is of auntie status, but her, her, the way she takes care of herself.

[Jamila]

I love the way she was dresses Christmas.

[Lou Young]

Like.

[Mecca]

Thick.

[Lou Young]

I mean, tick.

[Jamila]

I'm like, diane ain't even got all that. Now where you get that from, girl?

[Mecca]

That from where you get the generation?

[Lou Young]

I don't know. Bottom line. That's all I'm saying, but I'm just gonna leave it at that. Okay, but what I'm saying is I can see where it's like, women can be like, well, it can only be us when it comes to this black actress slash comedian, entertainer type shit. You know what I'm saying? Like, and that honestly, it kind of happens with, you know, with men. Me as well. Or me.

[Mecca]

I was gonna let you finish as.

[Jamila]

It happens with me in the comedy space.

[Lou Young]

Oh, yeah. I, I, I have. Oh, nigga. I had nigga make a whole dish. It was almost like a, it was like a string of dis skits. Oh.

[Jamila]

Against me towards you.

[Lou Young]

Yeah. It was a. I might have had, like, this might have been 2021, right? Pandemic era, you know, everyone was going crazy house to do 2020, 2021. And I was starting to. I got out of the. I was doing them, this sleeve Harvey character, right? It was like me make fun of Steve Harvey. So way before these, on this tick tock did the stocking, huh?

[Mecca]

You had like a Baltimore dmv, DC care. So when she, she was saying sleeve Harvey your character, I was like, that's not what I know him from. Because at this time I was in Baltimore. So that was the character that kept getting reposted my way. Because I was like, no, this. Excuse me, sweetheart.

[Lou Young]

Yes.

[Mecca]

That's really what they did.

[Lou Young]

So I was, okay, see, you know something?

[Mecca]

I know something.

[Lou Young]

I know both the Steve Harvey shit was like how I kind of went viral for the first time, right? But I was always impersonating people, blah, blah, blah. So that's. Know I meet Steve Harvey and they sign me. I get in the Family Feud and they, I did the. In front of the Family Feud audience with him. He came out and we. I'm, I'm the fake Steve. He just, and we just. No rehearsal. We just going. And it went, it did its Thing.

[Jamila]

Yeah.

[Lou Young]

After that, he said, look, bro, we gonna sign you, man. Boom. I sit down and I. We sat outside, smoked cigars. I only know how to smoke cigar. I'm coughing like, motherfucker, what you breathing in the air. I'm smoking like a straight blunt nigga. I said, yeah, I feel everything you saying, you know? He said. He said, hold on now, hold on now.

[Mecca]

What you doing, slay?

[Lou Young]

You know what I mean? So that. But it was the Baltimore character.

[Mecca]

So, Jameela, when I kept being. We had this whole conversation when we were trying to figure out your intro, and she kept bringing up your uncle character. And I'll be honest, I haven't really seen the uncle character.

[Lou Young]

I was like, no, Uncle Charlie.

[Mecca]

Uncle Charlie. I haven't really seen that.

[Lou Young]

The Uncle Charlie is very popular. But the Baltimore guy was me kind of breaking away from that sleeve Harvey shit. Right? Not that went wrong with it, but it was just like, I'm not going to do this.

[Mecca]

Yeah, yeah.

[Lou Young]

Forever.

[Jamila]

Yeah.

[Lou Young]

And Chris. Chris. So she. I call her my white auntie, and she's like the head hunch over there when it comes to handling his behind the scenes stuff with Steve Harvey. And she was just like, Lou, like, what do you. I mean, you're gonna do this shit forever? Like, who is Lou? I just like. Let me just tap into what we're doing over here and my experiences. So the Baltimore guy is. I lost my brother. He was murdered in Baltimore. Oh, so he was 22 when he died. Right. So it's been eight years. Yeah. So that's how him and my sister talk. We ain't got the same mama.

[Mecca]

Oh, okay.

[Lou Young]

So they. Mama Baltimore.

[Mecca]

Baltimore. And your mama dc.

[Lou Young]

DC From Newark, From Newark, New Jersey.

[Mecca]

Santana Rock.

[Jamila]

There's so much lore.

[Mecca]

I know all the things.

[Lou Young]

Yeah. So the unit Y. How about this? That's a unity. Because my mom went to high school with Kun Latifah.

[Mecca]

Oh.

[Lou Young]

She played. She. They won state championship together.

[Jamila]

The data.

[Mecca]

That's right.

[Jamila]

Shout out to Queen.

[Mecca]

That's low key. A titi.

[Lou Young]

And. And I think when Latifah had her talk show, she had my mom on with like a couple of the teammates. Just a couple. And they came. Yeah, yeah.

[Mecca]

Oh, period. That's good. Lord.

[Jamila]

Her and that good hair. Never had a bad hair day. Never.

[Mecca]

She never had Khadijah.

[Jamila]

Period.

[Mecca]

Always swooped and duped, looking thick.

[Jamila]

Yeah.

[Mecca]

No, because especially being in Baltimore at that time when you were doing that character. Specifically when I say all the boys. All the boys used to repost them Videos.

[Lou Young]

Okay, so I had a good.

[Mecca]

You had it.

[Jamila]

I was like this.

[Lou Young]

I was. But I got backlash also.

[Jamila]

Really?

[Mecca]

I can see that.

[Lou Young]

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, like, Nick, man, you got to think Baltimore niggas really kill.

[Jamila]

They do.

[Lou Young]

They don't. Like I always say, I grew up in D.C. right? To two parent household. Two separate parent household, whatever. You know, I had my trials and tribulations, but I got some dudes that really grew up in the city in D.C. that had it way worse than me. But them jokers in Baltimore, when I.

[Mecca]

Was at Towson and I worked for Body More, I worked for like the little paper, right? And I. They had just installed like on the light poles. The. It was like when gunshots go off so they could detect the police could be there within 30 minutes. Within like 20 to 30 minutes. And they were installed like, like yards apart. So they could like. That's how bad that.

[Lou Young]

It's nasty.

[Mecca]

And then they had. This is really. This is local, but they have the whole IG Baltimore Murder Inc. Where it's like all the people who get. They got a page that's real ghetto.

[Lou Young]

They got a page. Well, I think as long as you want.

[Jamila]

They local pages like that. I live there.

[Lou Young]

She was embracing the culture.

[Jamila]

I lived in the States.

[Lou Young]

You get a little plucky chicken.

[Mecca]

I love hip hop chicken. Extra crack. Yeah, yeah, extra crack on it.

[Lou Young]

Yeah.

[Mecca]

So I even had me a man.

[Lou Young]

Oh, you had. You had a bone on it.

[Mecca]

Oh, I had me county in the city.

[Lou Young]

Too.

[Mecca]

I made my way. Made my way.

[Lou Young]

But I. It was a real thing and it was a dude, I guess he was the originator of Baltimore impersonators. How you the originator?

[Jamila]

Everybody the originator or something.

[Lou Young]

You know how many. It's a million that done impersonated Eddie Murphy. A million niggas that impersonate Bernie Mack. A million women that did Roger P. Michael Jackson. Come on now. So he was like. I remember he called me one time.

[Mecca]

I'm the hotmore in person that I had your number, man.

[Lou Young]

I don't know how this nigga got my number. He called me one time.

[Mecca]

Hey.

[Lou Young]

And he was like, no, no, no. Fuck is you doing?

[Jamila]

Step, step, dummy.

[Lou Young]

I was like. I was like. He's like, yo, but we got. We gotta link up, man. For real. I was like, okay, cool. But you know, I was. You know, I wasn't with it. And he was. He gave me scared of hoe vibes. Ah, see what I'm saying?

[Jamila]

Full circle moment. Scaring the hoes. Yes.

[Lou Young]

So we and then I just kept doing my shit, all videos, and I would just literally just post and post them. And so he took the social media and, like, did a video skit about my baby mama. Ooh. Talk about my daughter. He was like, oh, no, I got cut in the league. And he talked about my mom.

[Jamila]

Oh, he went deep.

[Lou Young]

It was just lame, though.

[Mecca]

Like, imagine being your baby mom. Like, I didn't do it.

[Jamila]

Now how I get in it? How I get in it?

[Lou Young]

So she hit me up like, lou, Lou, what are you doing? And who is. Who. Who is this nigga?

[Jamila]

Please.

[Mecca]

I would be. If I had a better. I would be pissed.

[Lou Young]

She looked at me. She was like, have you seen this? So I was like, bro, I said, look, man, please. I said, all I'm asking you to do is don't respond.

[Jamila]

Okay? Cause I'm Finn, too.

[Lou Young]

And so what I did was how I responded was I said, you know what? I'm gonna make some more videos. And so I made some more. And it was like, I went from, like 70,000 to, like, 100,000 quick. Cause he kept.

[Mecca]

Cause he, like, beef, though.

[Lou Young]

And he kept shouting, but he kept shouting me out low key.

[Jamila]

I don't realize beefing with me only helps me.

[Lou Young]

He was at me. I mean. I mean, tag. I mean, bom bom. And I started seeing comments. They were like, I ain't gonna lie, Dummy little funny and shit.

[Mecca]

Like, dummy kind of funny.

[Lou Young]

Yeah. Dummy got it for real. Like, and then that boom. And I was like, I'm running up. And then eventually, he just kind of quit that.

[Mecca]

Every day I'm with my team. That's a Baltimore song.

[Jamila]

He would know, like, you're. You're in too deep. Me?

[Lou Young]

No.

[Jamila]

You know what's crazy?

[Lou Young]

Like, like, the way she's, like, radically said that. Remind me, like, that's how my sister. You think I sound like a Baltimore nigga? You should hear my sister. Oh.

[Jamila]

Oh.

[Mecca]

The girls from Baltimore have very strong accents. Very strong. It's very strong. I'd be feeling like the women have stronger accents than the men.

[Lou Young]

Yes.

[Mecca]

Because their voices are lighter. So you can hear the accent way more.

[Lou Young]

Her ain't light.

[Mecca]

They say, like, when, like, dummy versus dummy. Like, it's. It rings differently.

[Jamila]

A little bit more sharp.

[Lou Young]

It's too much. And so I. Like, I said that went up. And then I had got backlash from that. And then I. Did I get any more backlash from anything? I think I did a Muslim.

[Mecca]

You should have known you was going to haram.

[Lou Young]

So look, all right. It wasn't even like, a real skit. Like, this is like, I'm on. Look. No, no, no, no, no, no real shit, okay? I'm on IG Live. I'm getting ready to. To do my show, right? But we killing time. So I'm just in the other room. Just. I just gotta keep moving. I got ADHD bad. So, like, I'm just looking at the calendar and I had like a Kango hat. Like, I was really, like. I had a suit on.

[Mecca]

I just felt like you needed a bean pie.

[Jamila]

It's like a Farrakhan.

[Lou Young]

I felt like. I felt like Farrakhan with a little bit of Denzel.

[Jamila]

Not the mix, right?

[Lou Young]

And I was just like. I just started talking to the camera and I was just like, see, the white swan is on. And I was like, that's actually funny.

[Jamila]

I definitely saw that.

[Mecca]

Nevermind. That was funny.

[Jamila]

Yes.

[Lou Young]

And it went. It was like. That was not a skit. That was just me talking shit. And it went up. Yeah. Millions of views, right?

[Jamila]

Muslims was mad.

[Lou Young]

Oh, man.

[Jamila]

Well, which Muslims was it? The nation?

[Mecca]

Cause the nation don't count.

[Lou Young]

My mom. Look, my mom is a real deal.

[Mecca]

Muslim when we talk about this. So my dad started as Nation of Islam, but then allegedly. Allegedly, allegedly. My dad was a Black Panther, right? And he came in with, like, all the people. He has a story that I believe him, but I'll say allegedly for legal purposes. When he got drafted to Vietnam, he asked Farrakhan, allegedly, what should he do if they serve him pork. And allegedly Farrakhan told him, you eat with them crackers if you.

[Jamila]

He definitely said that shit.

[Mecca]

And from that day on, my dad.

[Jamila]

Did not fuck with them.

[Lou Young]

I'm just saying, you ain't no real Muslim. No disrespect, but I got. Okay. My mom is a real deal Muslim. My stepdad Muslim. I'm talking about real deal real deal.

[Jamila]

My uncle, they not marching.

[Lou Young]

No, they ain't doing all that.

[Mecca]

It's kind of like how you have Christian sex. Like Mormons that you can't.

[Jamila]

They're the Jehovah's Witnesses of Muslims.

[Mecca]

If you tell a Christian you a Mormon, they be like, they are not like us. No, I'm just. I'm just saying. I remember growing up when Jehovah Witness would come to our door.

[Lou Young]

Yeah.

[Mecca]

And my mother is, like, very, like, Christian. Like, she was. She would be like, y' all are in a cult. One time, one of my homegirls from school came up to my door and I had to beg her, please don't be Mean to this, like, girl and her mom. This is my friend from school.

[Jamila]

Your friend was still knocking on your door?

[Mecca]

Well, she didn't know it was my house.

[Jamila]

Oh, okay.

[Lou Young]

But she was.

[Mecca]

But she was literally, like, she was the type to argue with your whole witness. And, you know, she didn't even have.

[Jamila]

To open the door. We better get into it.

[Lou Young]

Yeah. Like, she would come down. They said, like, okay, see this one? Yeah. No. Yeah.

[Jamila]

So why would you believe this, sweetie?

[Lou Young]

Okay, but long story short, they. They. A couple of pole got upset and. But my uncle, he with the nation back home in D.C. so it's like my other uncle. So it's just like, I've been. I grew up around that shit.

[Jamila]

That's what makes it funny, though.

[Lou Young]

Don't bean pie selling.

[Mecca]

First of all, I love a bean pie. My dad used to give me bean pies on my birthday instead of birthday cakes.

[Lou Young]

Okay, Good God.

[Jamila]

Nobody ever asked for that.

[Mecca]

Why bean pies are so good?

[Jamila]

What did he have to prove?

[Lou Young]

Well, they got to be good, though. Like.

[Mecca]

Like I was going to say I love a bean pie.

[Jamila]

And you requested the bean pie.

[Mecca]

Yes, because that's the one thing he held on to. He would still, like. You know how when people know, like, when he would see his brother Jehovah Witness, I said, please. You know how, like, when he would see his. My dad's a street. So it's like when he would see him on the street, be like, oh, what's up, man?

[Lou Young]

Yeah.

[Mecca]

And he would buy the. Buy the magazine and the pie to, like, support him. So I grew up eating it.

[Lou Young]

My uncle. So I had. I. I do. I did indulge in the bean pies because my uncle, at his barbershop in the back fridge keep bean pie. No, look, water on the racks, bean pies on the shelves. And my dad would come in there, they get them bean pies and shit. So you get a bean pie, look, with two scoops of butter. Pk, you might have something.

[Mecca]

Y' all is getting too deep for me.

[Jamila]

So old.

[Mecca]

But literally, bean pie, when you warm it up. And I used to like it with vanilla ice cream.

[Jamila]

I've never tried it.

[Lou Young]

You get you.

[Jamila]

We don't have to have bean pie.

[Lou Young]

You get you bean pie when that crust is hard, crispy, you know, ball a little bit of that butter pean.

[Jamila]

What it taste like. Cuz you throwing me off with beans.

[Lou Young]

It's like a. It's like a. It's like a.

[Mecca]

Like a custard.

[Lou Young]

A Nation of Islam carrot cake.

[Mecca]

If I Could a Farrakhan carrot.

[Lou Young]

A Farrakhan carrot. Carrot. Ever seen. You ever seen, like, Farrakhan was talking about Barack Obama, like, at, like, this summit, and he was like, see, they think that we are okay because we have a black president, but that house is still white, and a black man is now the leader of a white House. And then all the folks. Come on, brother. Come on, brother.

[Jamila]

Take it down.

[Lou Young]

Take it. Take it there.

[Jamila]

Yes.

[Lou Young]

Hey.

[Jamila]

You ain't saying nothing.

[Lou Young]

He said.

[Mecca]

You just gotta hype them off. You just so okay this transition to my next question that we barely paying attention to.

[Lou Young]

Ain't no booze in my nose.

[Jamila]

No, you straight. You straight.

[Mecca]

Has anyone ever gotten upset with, like, an impression that you've done of them?

[Lou Young]

It just happened.

[Mecca]

But you ain't got to say a name.

[Lou Young]

I ain't gonna say no name.

[Mecca]

But it's happened.

[Lou Young]

I gotta say no name. It wasn't even an impression. It was.

[Jamila]

How do you feel about that? Like, when you imagine you. You know what I'm saying? Like, imagine Steve Harvey didn't like your impersonation, and you walked up to him and he like, hey, brother, I don't appreciate that. Like, what would you do? Like, what do you do in that moment?

[Mecca]

Like, so Steve Harvey couldn't get mad, though, because it's a birthday party theme. To dress up like him. Please.

[Lou Young]

But Steve. But see the way Steve. Okay, case in point. That's why I say it's real money and nigga money.

[Mecca]

And Steve, look, I follow Lori and Ms. Marjorie, and Ms. Marjorie has archived pieces. Blue hunted that family feud.

[Lou Young]

Money is low invested.

[Mecca]

That's wealth.

[Lou Young]

Come on now.

[Mecca]

Lori don't even speak.

[Lou Young]

Come on now.

[Mecca]

That's why she ain't say.

[Lou Young]

They don't even. They float when they walk out of rooms. They just. Them just float. You know what I'm saying? So real money. Money, real money. They embrace a young cat impersonating whatever. Whatever. Whatever. Especially if it's good.

[Jamila]

Yeah.

[Lou Young]

And it's funny and.

[Jamila]

Yeah.

[Lou Young]

It's getting millions of views.

[Mecca]

It's free program.

[Lou Young]

It's got to be something that's good about it.

[Jamila]

Yeah.

[Lou Young]

And he embraced me like Deion Sanders. I go to Colorado whenever the fuck I want. You know, saying, like, my daughter, me, my family, we. I'm on the sideline. I can. Filming me on the side. He lets me do my thing. He just. He didn't want to see me win.

[Jamila]

Yeah.

[Mecca]

That's another one with long money, though.

[Jamila]

And three toes.

[Mecca]

And he don't. I'll say he Only need that toe money so long, don't even realize money. Real money.

[Lou Young]

Real, real legend. And then you got money. Street money, hood, rich, futuristic, right? I'm. I was at an event and a came up to me, and it wasn't it. We were talking about a topic, and they said, my little. Everything you do, bro. I thought all your. We walking, we passing each other. But that last one you did, bro, I ain't. I just ain't think that was funny, bro. Blah, blah. And I'm like, one. It wasn't even a skit. One, two. A podcast. It was a clip. And okay, it got a few. Got a few. 100, 000 views. Who gives a. It was just not even. We ain't put that much effort. We just talking.

[Mecca]

Just talking.

[Lou Young]

Yeah, we ain't doing we. And we wasn't even. I said, bro, it had nothing to do with you, bro. All y'. All. I just. You just two player, bro. I I with you, bro. You just. You two player, bro. I was like, it had nothing to do with you. Oh, it's all love. If it's all love, nigga, then why you talking about it? Yeah, so I do feel like. And another. Another nigga called me, like, on some. Man, can you just take it down?

[Jamila]

Hell no. Well, that makes me post it.

[Lou Young]

And this one was a. A skit and that bitch going up. So.

[Jamila]

Yeah, hell no.

[Lou Young]

Fuck out my face.

[Mecca]

No, he told me something, bro.

[Lou Young]

Just take it down, man. I'm just telling. Take it down. I said, bro, I heard you and I told you.

[Jamila]

No.

[Lou Young]

Respectfully, fuck no.

[Jamila]

It's like, at this point, this is what you do. Like, and you're known for doing this. So it's like. I mean, what do you want me to do? Don't be funny if you don't want me impersonate you.

[Mecca]

As you said you watched Saturday Night Live. I was also a Saturday Night Live kid. And, like, I feel like the peak of life is if someone's gonna slap on a red synthetic wig and impersonate me and some glasses.

[Jamila]

That's all you would want.

[Mecca]

Cause them was my favorite sketches when they was like, when Tina Fey was doing Sarah Palin and what's his name, Will Ferrell was doing George W. Come on. And then also when Leslie and Kenan did R. Kelly and Gail.

[Jamila]

Robert.

[Mecca]

Robert.

[Lou Young]

But what up? But think about. You go, like, to the OG, like, Saturday Night Lives, right? When they was impersonating OJ's whole trial. Yeah, every day.

[Jamila]

Exactly.

[Lou Young]

I mean, every Saturday. I mean.

[Mecca]

Yeah, yeah.

[Lou Young]

Literally. That trial was for I don't know how long, you know, how much money they was making off of them views. Come on now. So this. It's. It's what they call it. Is it art?

[Mecca]

It's an art form.

[Lou Young]

Art form, yeah.

[Mecca]

It's. It's its own lane. Like, it's not impersonation. Comedy is not anything new. Yeah, yeah.

[Jamila]

And I feel like it definitely should be respected because I think a lot of people underestimate, like, how hard it is to actually impersonate somebody. Like, to get people's, like, specific mannerisms down. The little. The little stuff that they say that people don't even pick up on until they see the impersonation. It's like, yeah, like, this is funny and I'm glad you're enjoying it. But I actually did, like, put a little effort into it.

[Lou Young]

Yeah, it's just detail.

[Mecca]

Yeah, it's the detail.

[Lou Young]

It's the little subtle, like, I pay attention. Like that subtle stuff. It's like, you know, who does, like, subtle impersonations, but it's so. It's Jim Carrey.

[Jamila]

Yes.

[Lou Young]

Like, you don't even have to say a fucking word.

[Mecca]

You know exactly who he is.

[Jamila]

Yeah, he really takes it there. I mean, the way he can contort his face in general like this.

[Lou Young]

I literally just seen a clip.

[Mecca]

His facial muscles are so strong.

[Jamila]

Like, I don't know how he can. I'm like, I don't even think I can move that muscle in my face.

[Lou Young]

He said some people say I look like Lance Armstrong when I do like this. And he's.

[Jamila]

You know what I'm saying?

[Lou Young]

Like, he's literally, like, acting like he's on a bike, but it's just him.

[Jamila]

Yeah. Not even saying much.

[Mecca]

I'm scared.

[Lou Young]

You know what I mean? Like, how do you.

[Mecca]

How much control over your body? No, even. What's his name? Fred Artiston from snl. I feel like he's the reason we realized that Obama really talks like this. Cause before he started doing his impersonation. No, I feel like I didn't notice it until I watched and I was like, it does make long.

[Jamila]

It's like you gotta. Whatever they do that people don't notice. You gotta drag that part out. And it's like, oh, that's the thing.

[Lou Young]

Yeah, I like that.

[Jamila]

Yeah, Michelle, I like that.

[Mecca]

Mind you, he beat like, exactly. Obama thought it was hilarious.

[Jamila]

Yeah.

[Mecca]

He keing at it.

[Jamila]

I would love if somebody impersonated me. I would love to watch that, like, be me.

[Mecca]

I loved at the. What was that? I Think it was a correspondence dinner when Key and Pill were doing the anger translator. Obama's anger translator during his withdrawal, during his administration. But then he brought him out to.

[Lou Young]

Do it with Michael Keegan.

[Jamila]

Yeah.

[Lou Young]

Come on.

[Mecca]

I was like, ugh.

[Lou Young]

That's how you. And that's what I say. Real money embraces folks to make more Real money, nigga money. It hates. On folks thinking that's going take away from this or that.

[Mecca]

Yeah.

[Jamila]

And just sensitive. I feel like it's just overall sensitive, like. And I feel like when you are leading with comedy, for the most part, most people who do comedy have good intentions. And so I think that it's like, even if we, you know, sometimes we talk, sometimes we go too far.

[Mecca]

It's a toe.

[Jamila]

And then we be walking that lies. But it's like, I'm gonna do what I got to do for the joke. So it's like, the way people will take you a little too seriously. That's the part, I think, that has gotten us into, the pickles we've gotten into. Because it's like, y' all don't realize that, like, we're also, in a sense, performing for y' all on social media. And it's like, why would you take me that seriously? Do. Do I seem like a serious. Have you gone to my page? And so looking at some of the critiques that we get, it's like, I can't take y' all seriously because you think I'm serious.

[Lou Young]

Yes.

[Jamila]

So once I realized that, I'm like, okay, you're actually taking me, like, for real. And that's funny to me.

[Lou Young]

Like, everybody ever. Like, I better not be on that social media now. Don't have me on there. I know how, like, I have people come, like, you want to be in person? Yeah. Do you want, like, or. Like, I was like, I don't think Shannon Sharp really liked when I did him outside of the. The wine. The total wines. Right. In the green Ninja Turtle suit. And so.

[Mecca]

But he knew that was today.

[Jamila]

And it's like, you knew somebody was gonna talk about them tight ass pants and them ankles.

[Lou Young]

Literally, it wasn't even Shannon Sharp. It'd be. It'd be. Sometimes these celebrity fans, they get mad, too.

[Jamila]

Oh, for sure. The stands. It's like, yeah, why are you more mad?

[Lou Young]

A big ass truck. He said, look, man, you better not be doing that. Got that, Santa? I'm in a green Ninja Turtle, so you know what I'm doing.

[Jamila]

You in the middle of filming that.

[Mecca]

You better not be doing it.

[Lou Young]

I did Seriously.

[Mecca]

But you know what? Just to pivot a little bit. Something I notice when older men be still buff and in shape, they have to show that there's much the same way that women do. Like, they want to show their.

[Jamila]

They want you to see that on.

[Mecca]

But I was going to say. Because he's not the only one who does that.

[Lou Young]

It's a style in which, though, like me, I'm. I' ma always be in shape.

[Mecca]

Right.

[Lou Young]

But I'm not going to come up in here with the Under Armour mannequin here. It's not going to happen.

[Mecca]

Do you wear leggings or the man leggings to the gym? You know how some people like under.

[Jamila]

Their shorts, how the boys be doing?

[Mecca]

I've seen.

[Lou Young]

You mean. Oh, you mean just straight legging?

[Mecca]

Yeah, I mean, I've seen.

[Jamila]

That. You've seen a boy. Well, I don't go to the gym, so let's start there.

[Lou Young]

The gym I go to, too. I love my gym. Fitness Metropolitan in Atlanta. Shout out to them. Love it. It's a good fellowship.

[Mecca]

Okay, Good fellowship.

[Lou Young]

But it be some questionable gym outfits.

[Jamila]

What they be got, what they be having on.

[Mecca]

Cause you go to like a gym where y' all really work out, ain't.

[Jamila]

No plan like pumping iron. Hink, hink, hink.

[Lou Young]

Like, I ain't not see now, I'm not no bodybuilder, okay? I. I got to.

[Mecca]

But you're an ex athlete, though, so you already are working. Like, you're used to working out. Not at a civilian.

[Lou Young]

You should see some of these ex athletes these days that are my age or younger.

[Mecca]

Is that good or bad?

[Lou Young]

Lost and soft.

[Jamila]

Lost, okay. Let they self go lost and they gone.

[Lou Young]

Okay. It's because, like, even the way you eat is to replenish and all that.

[Jamila]

Because a lot of football players are really just big underneath muscle. And so once they stop working out and throwing in balls, they still big. And they always been big and eat big.

[Lou Young]

Now you go. You go Potato Head. It's just sitting there.

[Jamila]

Yes.

[Lou Young]

You know what I'm saying?

[Jamila]

It gets soft.

[Lou Young]

So for me, I'm not trying to. Even though I know I. You know, the styling, which I. I been.

[Mecca]

I been like the football, like you supposed.

[Jamila]

You got the neck. It's crazy.

[Lou Young]

You know what I'm saying? I can you. But nah, it's like. I ain't trying to just. You know what I'm saying? Because I already know it's already there. I just like to keep it right a little.

[Jamila]

Maintain.

[Lou Young]

Maintain cardio. A lot of core work. And then at home, listen to the workout plan. Yeah. Not a lot of core work. You know, running. Like, even I'm not lifting a lot of crazy weights. Like, I do a lot of high reps. Lightweight. That makes sense.

[Mecca]

I understand what you're saying, but Jamila don't really be at the gym. I do Pilates. I do soul cycle.

[Lou Young]

I want to get it. Y' all in shape.

[Jamila]

Tell the people.

[Lou Young]

Yeah, I'm saying y' all ain't. I mean, come on, now. Y' all ain't up here like no sloppy Joe now.

[Jamila]

I ain't sloppy, but it could get there. I'm saying I need to go.

[Lou Young]

I need to go, but I want to get into the Pilates.

[Mecca]

Pilates. It's really hard.

[Jamila]

I definitely did a little Pilates. You will shake in there.

[Lou Young]

I want to do it.

[Jamila]

It. Yeah.

[Mecca]

My favorite pastime is taking boys to either Pilates or soul cycle.

[Lou Young]

And like, Soul cycle, the bike.

[Mecca]

Yeah, the choreo.

[Lou Young]

Oh, yeah. I've done that, though.

[Jamila]

Okay. Okay.

[Lou Young]

Them women being that you.

[Jamila]

You see?

[Mecca]

You hear me?

[Jamila]

And so, like, the boys, I feel like it'd be funny for boys because you work out muscles that you ain't even know what's in.

[Lou Young]

Oh, yeah, that's that core.

[Jamila]

Yes. They be struggling.

[Mecca]

That groin, that p. I enjoy seeing it.

[Lou Young]

So I tore my groins a lot playing ball.

[Jamila]

Yeah, you need that Pilates for sure.

[Mecca]

Oh, that will help you, seriously.

[Lou Young]

And so I. I one year, I think I told my abductor to the groin.

[Mecca]

Yeah.

[Lou Young]

And I still got pain in this one.

[Mecca]

I used to do ballet. I was on point for, like, 14 years, and I my knee up in high school, and I've had a chronic knee pain for, like, a decade. I started doing Pilates, and it, like, basically went away. That's. I'd be telling people to do Pilates. It really stretches your stuff out.

[Jamila]

Which stretch?

[Lou Young]

Hot yoga. Bikram yoga. I'm sorry.

[Mecca]

My mom is into yoga. I don't do yoga.

[Jamila]

I can't do no hot yoga. I pass out. Yeah.

[Mecca]

I'm not a yoga girl.

[Lou Young]

It's like being in the sauna.

[Jamila]

I can't do that steam room, nothing hot. We got five more minutes in here. But now I can't be in no contained.

[Mecca]

I do have to force myself to ago. I have, like, a little red light therapy sauna membership that I be. Get your body right.

[Jamila]

Maybe I could do red light, but I can't have no hot.

[Mecca]

But it's. It's a sauna. It's a sauna with the. From the inside out. It's very good for like a whole bunch of things.

[Jamila]

They ain't got no cool red light.

[Lou Young]

You know what? That ain't going.

[Mecca]

That's not going to do it.

[Lou Young]

Get that Ant. What they call it, that antioxidant, that tox. I call it toxinity. You got to get that. You got to get that toxicity toxins.

[Jamila]

Okay, okay, I got to go back to that Pilates. It's.

[Mecca]

I bought my. My Pilates.

[Lou Young]

Y' all tell me I'm pulling up not in a onesie or in a.

[Mecca]

In some leggings.

[Lou Young]

Or in a legging. I don't know.

[Jamila]

Maybe you should now.

[Lou Young]

I'm saying they be wearing some questionable. Man, she's like, bro, put your draws on, man.

[Mecca]

Because you know, y' all got extra members thing.

[Lou Young]

Tuck, Tuck, like for me. For me. If I know I'm going. If I got. If I. If I had like. If I got like kind of like runners jogging pants and they can slick tight. I know that I'm gonna have to put another garment. Another garment.

[Jamila]

I don't like to see no balls. Listen, I can't stand it.

[Mecca]

I don't like seeing. It's a certain brand of big digger.

[Jamila]

It'd be a drunk. It'd be like a drunk. I'd be like, I wasn't expecting to see balls today. Can you not just jumbled up in there?

[Mecca]

You know, it's like how when they be taking the pictures and it be just on the side, like.

[Jamila]

Yeah, like, put them up.

[Lou Young]

Whoa.

[Jamila]

I honestly want all boys to tuck. I don't think it should just be for the drag queens. I want all boys to tuck that meat back.

[Lou Young]

I like wearing gray sweatpants in the house, not out the house.

[Jamila]

Well, that makes sense.

[Mecca]

Cause you in your space, you're comfortable. That's like, you know what I mean?

[Jamila]

You shouldn't be walking around in Walmart with me.

[Mecca]

Just sweat.

[Lou Young]

That's what I'm saying. Because did giveaway. I'm trying to attract something that really don't. That I shouldn't be attracted. So I like.

[Jamila]

I say thirst trapping.

[Lou Young]

Yeah. You know what? I thirst trap with my vibe. My energy.

[Jamila]

Like, my vibe.

[Lou Young]

My energy. My energy is so synergized.

[Mecca]

It's like I still thirst trap with my ass.

[Lou Young]

But see, that's. That's okay for women because it's like, that's what women supposed to do. You know what I mean? Women are supposed to get it.

[Jamila]

Do be cringey when a boy be Trying to be like.

[Lou Young]

Like, that shit. I got a picture in college. My last time I did. Really? Some selfie, and I was, like, going on the train, coming back, and I was like, just. Just finished working out.

[Jamila]

Like, what is you doing?

[Lou Young]

Come on, fam.

[Mecca]

I like guys. I hate that.

[Jamila]

Yeah. I don't like one boy's thirst trap either. It's like, even if it has to.

[Mecca]

Be the thirst trap, that makes sense. Like, I feel like sometimes it has to be a contextual thirst trap. Like, okay.

[Jamila]

Like, you just so happen to be in the middle.

[Mecca]

Like, you just so happen to be in this situation. You walk past the mirror and said, picture, right? Like, okay. So did you get that posey.

[Lou Young]

Posey butt ass naked?

[Mecca]

No.

[Lou Young]

Oh, I'm fresh out the shower. I'm not doing that.

[Mecca]

That's. No, I don't.

[Jamila]

No boy cheats.

[Mecca]

I'm talking about, like, okay, as. As an ex football player, y', all in the locker room, we know contextually, y' all don't have shirts on. So if you just happen to be, like, contextually.

[Lou Young]

Me, personally, my locker room etiquette was. I would. I would go. It's still to this day, if I go in a public locker room and, you know, people unclothed, to this day, I put a towel over my head. So that is. I got my towel over my head. That means don't fucking talk to me. I got a towel over my shit. And then when I get in that shower, I'm holding my stuff whole time.

[Mecca]

Even when I holding your stuff. And showering with one hand is hard.

[Jamila]

No, then your cheeks is exposed.

[Lou Young]

No, no, no. But see, I'm. No, no, no. I'm looking. I'm in the. I'm in the corner.

[Jamila]

In the corner.

[Lou Young]

Like some. Some. Some nigga. Hey, some nigga be trying to have full conversations in the locker room.

[Jamila]

[Lou Young]

Nigga like this. Nigga like this. Yeah, they like this. What y' all boy doing tonight?

[Jamila]

Fuck, that's Mecca.

[Lou Young]

I'm like, nigga, I don't know, bro.

[Jamila]

Like, rave.

[Mecca]

I'm having things to say. Like, contextually, I can't put my clothes on fast enough before I get my thought out.

[Lou Young]

See, but that's more. It's more. Maybe it's a double standard, but to me, it's also.

[Mecca]

The thing is, with Jamila specifically, we live together. Like, we shared a room at one.

[Lou Young]

Point, but women do that. That's more acceptable for women to do.

[Jamila]

I feel like they do. I'VE seen all of my friends butt naked.

[Lou Young]

Yeah, Like, I don't.

[Jamila]

Like, I'm not tits and all.

[Lou Young]

Yeah. See, Try to have a conversation with me in the shower or. Hey, man, I talked to you at my locker when you put some clothes on my. And save your thoughts. I'm sure when I shower, I like to vibe in the shower, like, to myself.

[Jamila]

You ain't trying to.

[Lou Young]

Y', all. Boy actually gonna be crazy tonight. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, bro, it's gonna be me.

[Mecca]

Oh, my God, we're gonna get so many. Nice.

[Lou Young]

Have you ever seen Juana, man?

[Jamila]

Yes.

[Lou Young]

Everybody who's showering in the shower, like, imagine that. Well, that ain't. You know what, man? This is. All I'm saying is something. I'm just like. I wish we had.

[Mecca]

He's comfortable with his body.

[Lou Young]

I wish they had a little space, though.

[Jamila]

A little space. Okay. Okay.

[Lou Young]

Six feet, everybody.

[Jamila]

The COVID rules.

[Lou Young]

Just. Just stay in your.

[Mecca]

So your water doesn't splash into my area.

[Jamila]

Okay? So before we get off, I want to know. This is based off of your characters that you play. You. You've played so many. What has been your favorite?

[Lou Young]

I think when I do my. When I impersonate my dad, it's very. It's very. It's just like this nostalgia. It's like, it takes me back, like, different times in my life. Just the way, like, he's my, like, my best friend. My dad's my best friend. So, like, even now, like. Like, we just laugh because he's. He's very funny, but he's, like, very serious.

[Mecca]

He's not trying to be funny.

[Lou Young]

Exactly.

[Mecca]

He's dead. The fuck.

[Lou Young]

Like, last night we went. We. We went to go. We went to the pool, like, late. Like, at this spa, Jeju. You ever heard of Jeju?

[Jamila]

Yeah, that's the All Butt Naked spa, ain't it?

[Lou Young]

But see, obviously, I have my daughter, so we ain't going in there.

[Jamila]

Oh, okay. I've never been inside. I just heard of it.

[Lou Young]

But it's a way to go in there without going through the nakedness.

[Mecca]

He said I had the baby.

[Lou Young]

Come on. You know what I'm saying?

[Jamila]

I didn't know.

[Lou Young]

I'm just saying it's a way where there's clothes. There's an area with clothes.

[Jamila]

Okay. Okay. Gotcha.

[Lou Young]

And they got the pool area. So it was there just us in the pool. We was in there from like, like 9 to like, mid damn near 11. Something just vibing. And then they got the little restaurant in there, too. So we. We. Everybody get cleaned up. We. We eating. And like, my going out to eat with my dad is like. Like a. It's like, you never know what you're gonna get. Don't let nobody. Fuckers. Order up. Oh, my God.

[Jamila]

Oh, yeah. That's my dad.

[Lou Young]

Like that.

[Jamila]

It's like, now I gotta step in.

[Lou Young]

And he getting all. But no, no. Like, go get a breakfast spot. I want eggs. Soft scrambled. All right. Soft scramble, light onion, little grill, a little spinach on the side so I can spare it up. Put light cheese in it, all these grills.

[Jamila]

And it's very specific.

[Lou Young]

Let it be too much cheese. Let it. See. I said, never mind, never mind. I don't. I don't want. I want. Well, we could do. He said, but just. Just. Just take this. Take off, like, sit like that. And so I like. I like doing my dad. Yeah.

[Mecca]

Because parents like that are easy to impersonate.

[Jamila]

Yeah.

[Lou Young]

Yeah.

[Mecca]

I feel like. Like your parents who have very specific, like, ticks.

[Jamila]

I feel like both of our parents. Both hairs, very.

[Lou Young]

I was like, so y' all parents are married?

[Mecca]

Yes, both. Well, my parents aren't married no more.

[Jamila]

I was gonna say her parents were and they're divorced now.

[Mecca]

You know what I almost said? I said, I'm not. No. Best now.

[Lou Young]

Well, I am.

[Jamila]

My parents are still married.

[Mecca]

My parents are still married.

[Jamila]

But it's like each. Each set is full of characters, and it's like, I will have material for life.

[Mecca]

For life.

[Jamila]

Thank you.

[Mecca]

Literally.

[Jamila]

Thank you, truly.

[Mecca]

Even, like, with like. Okay, so my dad has dementia, but he's like an ex street, so even him now versus him before the dementia. It's still incredibly funny because now he's.

[Lou Young]

A street with dementia.

[Jamila]

So he.

[Mecca]

Don't he just be saying stuff.

[Lou Young]

He. Because. Because dementia mean you.

[Mecca]

N. You want to hear what's crazy? We were.

[Jamila]

We had.

[Mecca]

He was at the hospital. We took him to a doctor's appointment, and the hospital was dimly lit. And he was like, am I in jail? And we were like. He's like, I just got stabbed. Mind you, my dad got. Wait, no, listen. My dad got stabbed at the Watts riots.

[Lou Young]

Come on now.

[Mecca]

And got taken to jail during the riot.

[Lou Young]

[Mecca]

He has like scaled my aunt's fence because. But he used to do like that. So now it's like.

[Mecca]

He's gone. He's going too far back.

[Jamila]

A little too far back.

[Mecca]

He's going too far.

[Jamila]

We only need about 10, 15 years. You're not taking this time.

[Mecca]

Had you fell, this could have been so bad. But now we all laughing. Cause we like. But how did you do that? How did you get off of here?

[Lou Young]

I told you. I think I was gonna take it back.

[Mecca]

You knew I was a liar.

[Mecca]

I'm just so focused on making this.

[Jamila]

Money that's like, so, Like, I can't even. I don't really want to be distracted.

[Mecca]

But it's not my desire for the future.

[Jamila]

You know what I'm saying? But I fuck with you for.

But, you know, when the time is right, that comes to me.

[Lou Young]

Nah, I don't. Nah, I don't do that, though. I don't do that.

[Mecca]

You don't do what?

[Lou Young]

I give y' all all that, but I don't do that. The time comes, like, the whole. I'm telling you, once I get my shit together, it's us. I don't do that shit, though.

[Jamila]

You ain't selling dreams.

[Mecca]

You don't sell a dream.

Okay?

[Mecca]

Respect for dreams and nightmares.

[Lou Young]

You dream on your own. Okay, But I ain't selling that shit to you. You got that on your own for me. I'm a. You know what I'm saying? I'm a definitely tell you, like, this, like, hey, relationship type shit. Like, right? I'm just really.

I ain't really locked into one lady right now. It's not even that.

[Lou Young]

But I'm not even that, though.

[Jamila]

I just say I'm not focused.

[Mecca]

I'm just focused on my craft.

[Lou Young]

I gotta be locked in, like. And even spreading myself then with different women is not a good thing.

[Jamila]

Yeah.

[Lou Young]

You know what I'm saying?

[Jamila]

Yeah.

The more times you say lock in, the funnier it gets.

[Lou Young]

I'm just saying, like, that Just got to be locked in, bro. That's my.

[Jamila]

That's my motto now. We really got to lock in, like, facts for all.
