you're we're in hell that's what we are yeah we're hell for sure now so my audience might know
Mac Wilde, because he was a star of the
Adele music video.
Yes, yes.
When that shit dropped, did you guys think
Hello was going to be that hot?
Honestly?
Nah.
I knew it.
When we did it, I don't even think she knew.
It was one of those situations where
I think everybody was excited because it's her
first song back. It's been years. You know, she had
the child. Everything was going on in her life.
But nobody, not even
her label, could estimate
the impact.
The second I heard that song, it shook me and changed my life.
Yeah, changed me.
You didn't like Hello by Adele?
I loved this, but it didn't change my life.
The video changed our life.
Video made us more poppy.
That's my guy.
Oh, yeah, yeah, that's my man.
That's my man.
Screenshots all over Twitter.
Wait, why do you think, so Mac obviously is on the wire too.
Why do you think she chose you, did you remind you, did you remind her of her ex?
No.
Like, what's why you?
No.
Adele was with this world
It was actually it was
Partly the director
The director Xavier
Dolan shout out to my man's
He said he had a conversation with her
Like okay I want to do this video where it's
It's more acting than just
Music video stuff and
We need somebody who's an actual
Actor and she's like well let's get somebody from London
Or whatever he's like nah I actually have
An idea about this kid
Tristan Wilds from
He was on 902 and O
She was like oh my God
Dixon.
I love 902.
She was like,
oh my God.
Yes, she was.
Now,
a lot of people don't know,
but her first,
her first U.S. placement of her song
was on 902 and O.
What?
For chasing pavements.
So we kind of have that.
You are connected.
Your universe is worth crossing paths a little.
That's cool.
And also,
this kid, Mack,
aka Tristan, AKA.
A.K.A.M.A. Mac.
Was Grammy nominated or some shit?
Yeah.
So I'm having him on the Keys today.
He's going to be doing some sound effects.
So if it's weird, it's just the devil having fun, you know?
The devil is trying to make some beautiful music.
I'm glad you referred to the devil as a proper person.
No, because it's you.
It's you.
It is you.
And these guys are on because they were very kind to put me on their podcast.
Yes.
Guys are your.
We were blessed to have you on our place.
Stop it.
Flymer likes to flirt with me.
Flyer likes to flirt with me.
Look, y'all got a hair cut right now.
That's, look, that's what God is in fucking hell the first place.
Exactly, right?
Jesus, Christ.
And you guys, your chemistry's so undeniable.
You obviously get along.
But what brought you guys together?
Why each other?
And you could throw each other under the bus, too.
Like, you got caught with the wrong person sometimes.
No, I think I-
That's all it was.
They came to them, and then they thought to throw me a bone.
But Mouse is a host.
Mouse has seen some shit.
Hold on.
He's not a host.
Can I gas you up a little bit?
Please.
He is the top host and not to just.
top hosts in New York City
anymore. He's probably one of the top hosts
in the country. Now, ain't even
one of them. It's just me.
Hold on, hold on. Do your thing.
Do your thing of it?
Who are you?
Mouse Jones, the best host in America,
aka the BT's resident
Rebel Rouser, aka the man that puts the
Juxon's Jackson position. A.K.A. is time to get these
old niggas out of here.
There we go. There we go. That's what I like to hear, brother.
Come on, you got to talk. Point blank. I mean, who host them better
than me. But it's true. When you guys are together,
You need someone who's kind of running the ship.
And I think that mouse does a good job of he's hosting.
He could do it in his sleep.
And then we got Mac.
He got his suave shit going on.
And then Fly Rye is the only person that will respond to an email.
That is essential.
That is true.
What else you bring into the table?
Who told you that?
I just, you know, who's giving out our secrets?
I've never seen Mouse Jones reply to my email.
You want.
Who does?
Your boy.
Your boy.
Somebody has to respond to said something up.
I do.
I do.
I feel like we came together.
Yeah, can you actually answer the question?
We talk a lot of shit.
But it's not just shit like just bullshit.
We talk a lot of real shit.
So when we come together, we laugh a lot.
We joke a lot.
But the majority of the times,
we talk about real life personal shit.
Do you know that real shit is my favorite?
And that's why I want you guys on
because I don't have time for that small talk bullshit.
No, we don't do that.
We're New Yorkers here.
You know, we don't have time to play nice for no reason.
Your money is not to be real.
You got to be real, man.
And so we came together.
we talked about it um it took a little while to get together but we're here now so i want to get
dark because like obviously you guys you know you're doing big things we're going places yeah
people are loving guys next door yep but i'm gonna get to some like stuff that people don't know
about you aka let's talk about insecurities because i'm not gonna lie walk in and all you guys
got your shit together you're feeling you're feeling yourselves i get sensitive testosterone in
the room and i'm like i need to break them down i need to put them in their place she sounds she's
She sounds like a wheezy on the episode.
She's trying to peg us.
Want to be pegging us and shit.
And his women history,
we gotta watch out, said.
Well, I like mouse because I know that he's very,
he loves women.
Yeah, love him.
And I know that fly right likes women
because of how he looks at me.
And I know that Matt likes women.
He's like, you know, you know.
That's why I'd really be answering them emails.
We don't got to discuss what's already in the show.
He went to college in Indiana, be safe, though.
Oh, shit, I went to Wisconsin.
I was at Purdue, you know?
That's for you.
You got a good degree.
I went to Purdue has a good business school.
Yeah, I'll tell you some business.
You know what business?
Okay.
I'm about to throw up.
God.
I'm about to throw up.
Man.
I want to start with Mouse because you are a smooth talker.
I would argue you light up a room.
You could, in one-liners, you can get people laughing.
Thank you.
Do you ever have insecurity when you're on stage in your hosting?
No.
Like, it's what you're meant to do.
That's what I'm supposed to do.
I have insecurities where I'm, I probably have my most insecurities where I'm not on stage
or not in front of a microphone, stuff like that.
When I'm not engaging with people, that's probably when, if ever, I have any insecurities.
What are they?
Um, I don't know.
I don't really give too much credence to them.
Probably just an inadequacy.
That was a cruel one.
Jesus Christ.
Jesus.
They're going to put a guy's next door.
We're in hell right now.
Goodness gracious.
I like that.
I like that word.
But, yeah, that's right.
I don't know what it means, but I like it.
Credence.
Credit, credit, giving credit, giving.
But he's true.
Don't give energy to those negative.
I just don't because I have done that.
And the type of person I am, I get sucked into that.
And I'm not a good.
Can you give me one specific thing that you are insecure about?
And it could be physical.
It could be mental.
I think it's all, nothing physical.
I can't do nothing about that.
Like, you know what I mean?
Like, I'm 5'8.
I can't grow.
So, you know what I mean?
Like, I just got to deal with the height I'm given.
Absolutely.
Other than that, I look mad good, so I don't really have nothing to be insecure about physically.
You know, I am in the gym.
I want to go into 30 in peak mental and physical form.
So, yeah, physical, I don't have any physical insecurities.
If anything, it might be mental.
But it sounds like your work is something you love, so it doesn't really like a job.
Yeah, I love it, but that doesn't mean the people that hire me or that doesn't mean the people in position to hide me love me.
I rub a lot of people the wrong way, pause.
You know, I'm unapolog-
We caught that a second late.
I'm unapologetically me, and I'm always going to be that.
But don't you feel like you get the best opportunities in the long run
by being unapologetic to you?
Because I don't want to fuck with people who don't fuck with me.
In the beginning, though, in the beginning, you have to rub people the right way a little.
I don't know.
I don't know about that.
Never have.
That's why I say, for me, because I'm just so strong on my morals,
I'm never not going to be honest
You're interesting to me because you don't drink
And that fascinates me
Because I don't like drinking
But I succumb to peer pressure
Like someone's like, let's drink
And I'm like, nah
And they're like take a shot
And I'm like, okay, I'll do it
But you, you've never drank?
Never ever.
You have alcoholism in your family?
Yeah.
So you have something
But I didn't find out till later on
Growing up when everybody was drinking
like 13, 14, I just didn't want to do it
So I'm so impulsive
that it saves me sometimes
Because if I don't want to do it
I've never smoked a cigarette
Because I'm like
What's the positive
It comes out of and I like it?
Cigarettes are disgusting
So like smoke
To me the act of smoking
Whether it's we
Seeing somebody
Inhale something
And smoke come out of you
To me it's disgusting
So that's why I never did that
But drinking I just never wanted to do it
If then I didn't find out
So I was like 1819
That I have a
That my uncle is a stone cold
Alcoholics
So I'm like oh now I'm never putting that in my body
It's interesting that your intuition
Kind of knew that that was a red flag
Right
I want to go to fly rye
what are you insecure about pretty boy
my emotions
like I don't I don't really share them
and I don't really speak out of it
we talked about this brief
because you said when you're growing up
your family was not like
how did that make you feel
it was more like do you have your shit together
yeah do your shit like if it's time to go
it's time to go like that's what stinks
that up my head my mother told me
so it's like when it comes to emotions
it's really hard for me to share that
so I feel like I'm insecure on the fact
that when it comes to that significant other expressing me totally opening up to them without having
any like closed doors and that's what people get it twisted because me and mouse talk about us all the time
and mac like don't try to read me understand me and then you can read everything it'll just
my open book and if you they make you comfortable and not pressure you to open up too early it'll
unfold naturally i'll open up as much as i'm willing to open up and in that it's and that
to that extent, I'll probably open up more than I ever have,
if it's a natural feeling.
And you were raised with a single mom?
Single mom.
So she didn't have time.
She was just trying to make sure that she...
She raised two jobs to this day.
She wanted to make sure she had the money to make sure you're good.
And that was the priority.
Let's move on to Mac.
What's up?
On the Keys.
Uh-huh.
So you were a child star to an extent?
I guess you can call it a child star now, right?
You've been in the industry for a bit, which I know...
Yeah, since I was about...
14, 15 years old?
Yeah, definitely a child.
You lost your family at 18.
You're a child.
Childish ass, baby.
Hey, hey, mouse.
Hey, mouse.
Fuck you, pal.
Shit.
Last time I tell you guys anything.
You're watching when keeping it real.
Last time I'm vulnerable with you guys.
Last time I'm vulnerable with you guys.
Shit.
You know what?
I think that was very adorable.
I appreciate that.
And that's adorable.
What's your deepest insecurity?
Losing his virginia.
He's like, you guys...
Damn, son, where'd you find this?
All right, I'm done.
This might be off reference, but Colton on The Bachelor is a virgin as well.
He goes to thing.
He definitely is.
I'll tell you how off that is.
I have no idea who the fuck Colton is.
Well, what the fuck the Bachelor is?
Oh, he got to know is that he's a grown-ass man within a room, in a house full of women, that is a complete...
And he was a professional athlete.
like your dick just falls into vaginas what type of l-ol life was he living so before we get
these guys brought it up why did you wait so long it was a conversation i had with my mom oh
i love when your moms get involved when i was when i was young my uh my older brother had his
first kid when he was 17 i believe 17 and i remember the you better relax buddy
hey listen you better relax i'm easing into this thank you
You better relax
You talk about these teen parents
You need some more water?
Yeah, I'm triggered
Hold on, wait, wait, wait, wait, where's it?
I'm panicking, I don't know
So after seeing that
And seeing like what my mom was going through at the time
You know, I think she wanted so much more for us
And I remember just having a conversation with her
Because my mom was like my best friend at the time
So I was like, yo mom, listen
I'm going to wait
To even get started in this whole
sex thing
and I'm going to wait until I'm about 18
and she's like if that's your decision
if listen I'm not going to
tell you what to do I'm not going to tell you what not to do
but that's what you want to do then were you home school
no because that's hard
when you're in like the school system
you're seeing other kids engage and it was
but I think
even though I wasn't homeschool I wasn't in school
that much because I was working the majority of the time
so me being in
Baltimore shooting the wire
a lot of times my school would send work to me in Baltimore
and I would have to do my schoolwork and send it back.
Did you feel like you had a different purpose than the other kids?
You felt like a normal kid that just happened to be put in a different situation?
I felt like a normal kid who kind of just wound up in a weird situation.
You weren't like, I'm about to be a star.
Nah.
I didn't even think I was going to be an actor.
Like I didn't even think, I didn't think anything much of it.
The reason I even got into acting at the time, I was about, I was like 13, like 13 years old, 7th grade.
And I had a friend who I grew up with in my old neighborhood who had died.
And I remember, I remember, you know, around that age, a lot of us, you know, we all lose friends and all of that stuff.
But at that age, a lot of us tend to feel invincible at times or whatever.
So as soon as that invincibility fades and you realize how mortal you really are,
I'm running around these streets with my older brother doing God knows what at such a young age,
messing around with things that I definitely shouldn't be messing around with.
I'm like, you know what, I want to change things up.
And I was fortunate enough to go to a school that, I guess,
showed me a bunch of different lifestyles
or different ways to live.
And I had some friends who were acting,
like actually professionally acting.
My older brother used to professionally act
like he was in a few movies here and there.
And I remember watching him being like,
yo, that's dope.
Like, I want to be on TV one day.
So it got you excited.
Yeah, at that time, it got me excited.
So I used to do school plays,
but I never thought anything of it.
It wasn't until my boy Chungo passed away.
that I was really like, you know what?
Maybe we need to figure something else out.
And at that time, one of my friends came in.
I remember it like it was yesterday.
Kid came in.
He said, yo, I just booked this commercial.
And they're giving me $5,000 for it.
I said, $5,000 for a fucking commercial.
That's a lot of snickers bars.
What?
I said, nigger, $5,000.
He's like, yeah.
And then I get paid every time it shows on TV.
I say, you get paid.
paid every time it shows on TV I didn't know anything about residual money but I was like
yo that's a comp you that's that's way different than any drug money I've ever seen
that's fire I said yo mom way less effort and way less dangerous I said yo ma I want to try this
and she was like all right well you know I tried it with your brother and I don't want to go
through the same headache that I went through with him that's a whole other story because of the
neighborhood that we grew up in but she's like so listen if you
really want to do it, I'm going to give you money. I'm going to give you money to go get your
headshots, and I'm going to give you money for a metro card. And now you got to go around,
you got to go find your way and get into this stuff so that if you make it, it's all on you.
But if you fail, it's your fault. There's nobody else you could blame. So if you really want
this, you got to do it yourself. I said, all right, I got the money for the head shots, got my
head shots. So you never questioned who wanted it for you. It's always your motive. It was always
your passion inside that wanted it. 200%. Just because I wanted to do something.
different. I didn't want to do the same thing. And again, I wasn't, my focus at the time wasn't
to be an actor. It was more, all right, I'm going to do this until I can, and pay to get into
the studio to do music, because that's what I really wanted to do. So music was your real kind
of natural fashion. I love how you didn't ever feel like you had to do one thing and be stuck
in pigeonholed into one thing. I actually hated it. Because people love to, they want to define you.
They want to be like, oh, Mac Wilde, he's an actor.
Oh, Mouse is a host.
But it's like me.
I was a tennis player my whole life.
And when I started to get into video, people were like, why are you doing this?
And I'm like, because I have other outlets to me and things that need to be fulfilled that I haven't even touched on.
I don't even know if I'm good at.
It bothered me.
It got to a point where it was a lot of times I would be, I don't know, I'd be on set of 902 and because the music that I want to do isn't, I'm not able to release it or do whatever.
whatever, how I want to it, it just felt like there's like a ball of energy inside of me that's
not being released.
And you have to listen to that intuition.
Don't just settle with that.
Listen to yourself and no one else knows what you really want.
That's true.
That's very true.
I would argue that too.
Yeah.
So I want to turn back to your insecurities because you've been trying to get me to forget about it this whole time.
Yeah, one of the greatest attempted spinners you'll ever meet.
Not attempted.
I do spend.
You've gotten a lot of...
You've gotten a lot of success on paper, but I want to know what you're at.
insecurities are internally.
People that look up to you, like, they're kids that are like, I want to be
like Mike Wiles, I want to be on TV.
I want to be like Mac when I grow up.
I hate you guys.
I really hate it.
Damn sure they won't be like him as a kid.
You got too much dip on your chip?
Imagine being a virgin.
Listen, you got too much dip on your chip.
Relax.
The problem was you didn't have enough dip on your chip.
Your chip was
diplish till you was 18.
Ew!
Oh, shit.
Okay, good one.
That was a good one.
That was a good one.
I set myself up for that.
Set myself up.
So physically, do you have any insecurities?
Not physically.
I don't think physically.
I think physicality-wise, I'm pretty, I'm very much more comfortable in my skin than I've ever been, especially nowadays.
You know, I understand who I am, what I am as a man, and I don't let anybody else dictate that.
So that's physically, nah.
You know, as long as I'm able to get up, work out, breathe, and sex a woman down very well, I really have no, I really have no other qualms about my physicality.
So emotionally?
Emotionally.
I think that's where the insecurities kind of lie.
It comes with career.
It comes with, just like you said, emotions.
I think the biggest thing for me, I tend to get into.
my own head about what like I always no matter how good I no matter what I've done in my career I
always wind up with the same conversation in my head like am I good enough did I do this good enough
what can how can I do better oh 200% but you know perfectionism you're gonna look crazy to other
people but when that final thing you created comes out comes out everybody's like oh my god it's so
amazing and they wonder why it sounds different than other things and you're like because I'm
psycho yeah because i have to make sure that it and i try to get out of my own head with that stuff
because a lot of times i keep stuff to the chest and and don't let nobody in until i'm ready
to but uh that perfectionism is uh it's it's a it's a killer sometimes man it's true and then
sometimes perfectionism can prevent creativity yes it can it can because you get stuck on one
thing and it it doesn't allow other things to blossom especially with i mean even like in
interviews I would say mouse might agree if you're too structured with how you want to host
something you can't get the magic the magic is in those moments that you're loose and you're
confident and you're natural yeah the worst thing you could do when interacting with people
is have structure like you have to allow people to be people to be people and you have to be
a person right along with them which is why I'm the best host because no I'm being honest
I'm not being honest like this why I'm the best host because I allow me to be people
Like when you come to an event that I'm hosting,
you don't have to fit in anywhere.
You don't have to be like, oh, everybody's going to be like this?
Nah, fuck that.
Because I make everybody, we all go down to the most simplest form of whatever we're doing.
And no matter where it is, it's going to be a party no matter what.
I've been working on, I always, I'm a people pleaser,
and I want people to immediately think I'm funny and I'm charming and I'm cool.
But my therapist back in the day was like, you have to make them.
feel like they have space.
You have to just ask them fucking questions
and listen. It's not like dating 101, but
it's more like, well, you're worried about yourself
they're turned off. No matter how
many jokes I say in a row, it's how you
make them feel. That's the only emotion they're going to remember
leaving that conversation. That's all I tell people
is when you host, that's, when people ask
me for holding tips, I'd be like, well, you shouldn't be hosting because
I'm the best butt. If you still want
to make a fool of yourself, just make sure
that people feel you. They're always going to remember
they're not going to remember nothing else to happen.
They're not going to remember what you say.
And I, and I, and I,
And thank God, you know what I mean?
Because it keeps me working.
I have super viral moments when hosting events,
whether it's the swag,
me cutting off the swag surf and making people do the electric slide,
whether it's me doing Kirk Franklin and making the whole crowd sing,
whatever it is.
Do you have advice for people who have public speaking anxiety?
Because a lot of my listeners do.
Just do it.
Talk while having sex.
It develops.
That too.
I love that.
Jesus Christ.
I love that advice.
If you talk while you have sex, it takes out a lot of nerves.
you saying?
Bambo clap!
Hey, set yourself up for that one.
Then you try to be the sex kitten.
Maybe you try to be the sex kitten of the podcast, and now look at you.
So what's you say?
If you told me, now she asked you something.
What you say?
Does it depends on a moment?
Do you combine, like, funny with sexy or you strictly sexy?
I don't say funny shit.
Because I could, if I talk too much, I start laughing.
What I do ain't funny.
We're here for business.
Oh, business Christ.
Business only.
Speaking of sex, you guys give so much relationship and love advice and, like, guys look
to you but I want to get a little serious in terms of like a lot of old white men are
fucking up right now I got little dicks wow it was bound to happen
Jesus Christ you know some of them probably do most of them and I want to know
because you guys have a unique perspective on women obviously in the rap game you
can like talk down to women or treat them objectify them but I sense that you guys
are that would be yeah that wouldn't be a that's a common misnomer you guys are
trying to shift that's...
Goodness, fucking gracious!
Miss Nomer?
What is wrong with you?
You are eloquent.
You should got some pussy at 15.
Jesus Christ.
Would I have known words like this?
Yes, nigga.
Goodness gracious.
You're getting pussy and re-in the dictionary at 15.
That's you.
That's how he got dropped out of...
That's how he got kicked out of high school, bro.
He was fucking with teachers.
Yeah.
He was fucking with teachers.
But no, I don't want that to be...
I want some advice, because I have dudes listening.
Like, what advice do you give to men who, like, you obviously want to be masculine,
then you want to be powerful, but like, what advice do you have to be the best man possible?
There's nothing more masculine than protecting women, protecting the women in your space.
Ryan, he was just in the spot with me, like, it's not a game for me.
Like, there's nothing that has anything to do in my career.
Like, this is my life.
You know what I mean?
I'm raising two daughters.
I love my mother.
Yeah.
I love a black woman.
Like, we got to protect them.
You know what I'm saying?
It's funny because when you first said that, I was like, I don't want a man to have to protect me.
I'm strong enough.
But at the end of the day, but let's be honest, at the end of the day, men.
have the ability to protect you
Here go to the thing
You don't have to want me to protect you
And I will respect that you don't want me to protect you
But I'm still going to protect you
It's true
Yeah like I'm still going to protect you
You know what I'm saying
I'm not going to over there
Yeah like you're not going to be like
Let me walk you across the street
Every time
No I do that
Because look
The first step that a lot of men miss
That a lot of women
Pay attention to it is
You gotta give it away
You gotta give it away
I'm helping
A lot of nigs still not gonna do it
When you walk a woman up the street
Do not put her on the side
Where the cars are coming
It's very simple
It's simple things like that
That a woman be like what
I'm like not getting on this out please
Like simple things like that
I like that go a long way
I like that I don't love when a man is like
Putting my jacket on for me and stuff
Because I'm like are you gonna do this every day
Then don't do it
No no no no
But I do when I walk down the street
If you're gonna hold up to it
I do that every I do that
It doesn't even have to be my
If you're my best friend
Like it doesn't matter if you're a woman in my life
I just like to know you'd take a car from me
You know
And I want to see how smart you are too
Because if I get hit by the car
And you still get hit by the car
I'm gonna be tight
in hell. I'll be tight. I'm like, are you fucking
kidding me? What are you doing down here?
You've seen me die
bitch. You was about to move.
Maybe she want to go with you. Would you be tight
if you went to heaven and she wasn't
there? I'd be like that chee-
bitch.
Mac, do you have a two sense
of kind of like, because you're in the
entertainment industry, who knows
the kind of shit that you deal with in terms of
like me? Man. Yeah.
Because you want to respect
women, but sometimes women don't always
respect themselves. No, that's true. That's true. And
they don't respect you as well. I think
I think... Yeah, like, they don't see you for you
sometimes, probably. I think, you know what?
It gets to a point where a lot of times
we look for, we look for reciprocal
things, and I've learned this from
a very smart man that I know his name
is Mouse Jones.
A lot of times we pray for
a lot of times we wish that
things are going to be reciprocal, but we can't...
Are you talking about? Are you talking about? What are you talking about?
I mean, just in general.
Just in general, period.
You can't go into situations expecting reciprocation.
You have to do it because you know it's right, and it's that simple.
So when it comes to something like respecting a woman or being a man for a woman,
you know, whatever you consider that to mean, I think that's bigger than anything.
Like, you're supposed to do it just because you're supposed to do it.
Not because you're expecting anything out of it, literally,
just because you as a man and her as a woman,
whether she's your lady, whether it's platonic.
It could be your mother, your grandmother, your shorthy, whatever.
You're supposed to be a man.
And that's what a stand-up man really is.
That's beautiful.
And our episode was about, you guys told me something
that you said black men don't cheat.
But I'd be waiting.
Nothing has changed.
I've been waiting to come back
because I have a question.
Damn you.
What the fuck is Tristan Thompson is doing?
I got this.
I got this.
I got this.
I want somebody can explain this to me.
Please explain it.
All right.
So this goes two ways.
Most importantly, we have to realize
the fact that there are many things
at work when we're discussing
the black community.
Yes, sir.
There's been racism.
There's been systemic oppression,
systemic racism.
Talk about it.
So when you put a race of people
at the bottom
and then
begin to pick
specific ones that you want to put
at the top based on their athletic
ability or any ability
put them above one another
then what you begin to do
is you put them and you
you're exposing them to
something that they're not used to
as in like OJ how he was in the community
you know what OJ is a perfect example
because OJ was super poor
but then he got
He got accepted in the white community and he didn't align himself with like...
So what it is is money affords you a certain opportunity.
So like the normal black man middle America may not do water polo because he can't afford it.
Shoot, he may not swim.
So when he does that, what do we call it?
Oh, look that nigga doing some white people shit.
Just like Trishon Thompson was cheating.
He got a lot of money now he's doing some white people shit.
That was a good thing.
That was a good old.
You know what?
I was like that.
What could this dude possibly say?
Jesus Christ.
What do you guys think of the Kardashians?
I don't.
I don't think of them.
I mean, I appreciate.
They play, they play no, they have no hold or no influence.
And the coach is a very good coach.
She's an amazing coach.
She's an amazing coach.
Not bad than our coach.
No, no, no, no, no.
Shout out, Coach Royce.
Coach Royce.
Coach Royce.
But amazing coach that loves black males.
Yes.
I don't know if they love black males, but they love, she does.
They love making
Is it cool to say they fetishize black males?
Not even fetish out.
They industrialized black men.
Oh, wow.
Like that's what that clan has done
they industrialized black men.
I don't want to say fetishized,
but aesthetically they love the, like,
I got my rapper on my arm or I got my athlete on my arm.
Because they're not just dating black dudes.
They're dating the highest status of black dudes.
The best, like the best of the best.
Well, not the best of best.
I mean, like, Chloe, Chloe.
I was thinking like, Chloe,
Chloe, it'd be scraping.
We're going to play our first game
and it's called Heaven or Hell, and I'm going to segue
from Kardashian.
Heaven or Hell.
Dating one of the Kardashians, heaven or hell.
Hell.
Depends on which one.
Which one? Which one would be heaven?
None.
They're not a heavenly car.
You know what? Take it back. Take it back.
That motherfucker, Courtney boy.
Okay, heaven or hell dating Courtney.
Good job.
Why do you like Courtney?
Because she, I know the least about her.
Because she's low-key.
Because she's low-key.
Damn, son.
Where's your buying this?
She got out of her business.
None of them.
You do you know how much I don't follow the cartels?
I don't follow any of them on Instagram.
I don't read none of the stories.
I don't watch the show.
But I know all of Chloe and Kim business.
Look, and this is what she did.
She went for the rich white guy.
Did all that.
And she don't have to go for the rich black man.
She went for the richest white dude
She got
Had her kids
And now she just
She's chilling with us
She got young like
22 year old
Hot sexy men
Just like
Falling her around
Black dudes
But are they white
There was like an exotic
Dude like Portuguese
No I'm saying
All the Kardashians
White though
They're Armenian
You know what's the name
OJ
Chloe is half black
You're right
Damn
Is that what the community is saying
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
She's 6 5
Yeah
Six 5 strong features
How the fuck
Does she get that tall
She's not 6'5
No, she's close, but she's close, but she's close, strong features.
Okay, guys, heaven or hell?
Girl who cooks amazing.
Oh, that's hell, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
What, but, boom, I'm not doing.
You knew that one.
You knew, you knew it's going somewhere.
I got excited.
I know, he's like, chicken barbershop.
Um, girl who cooks amazing, but hates giving blow jobs, heaven or hell.
Hell, hell.
Now I'm going to get fat and be unhappy.
What the hell?
Hell.
Hell.
What the hell?
How about get out?
How about get out?
Wait, wait, wait.
So you'll take a girl who loves giving blow jobs,
but can't cook for shit
Absolutely, we can go
You know how healthy I'm gonna eat out all the time
You know how fucking healthy I'm gonna be?
If you don't want to give head
That means you don't want to learn to like it
If you don't know how to cook
We can go to cooking classes
We can go to cooking classes
Oh, I like that
You don't even want to please me
That's a growth mentality
My mother's a chef
I'll just send in my mom for a two week program
Oh, that's easy
And we're gonna get that thing
There ain't no problem
I like how you guys are all aligned
I like this
Okay next question
Because we're speeding through
Mm-hmm
Okay, this is just which one do you prefer
I got to throw this in
Macha latte or avocado toast
Avocado toast
I fuck with macho lattes
I don't like I don't have no input
I have never had either one
I don't believe you should try a macho latte
I don't even know what that is
It's like green tea but like better
It's like a green tea but
It's like a coffee
It's caffeinated
That's my next door to sweet green
Yeah yeah sweet chacha macha macha
I never had none of that, so I can't tell you.
Mac just showed his L.A.
Because he knew.
Okay, last one, heaven or hell, getting snowed inside with your mom all day.
Oh, that's heaven.
Yeah, that's heaven.
You guys have to love your mama.
My mom is a chef.
Fridge is always stop.
Always.
There's always toilet paper.
Always toilet paper.
You always got toothpaste.
Nothing runs out.
Talk about it.
Yo, can you ever notice growing up that just, that closet never goes empty?
Bro, never, no.
You open it up
How come I have no toilet paper
But in there
It's always toilet paper
Always so
When you have roommates
You're like
Are you just fucking
throwing the toilet paper
Where does it go
Especially if you have female
roommates
You don't even know
Right
Or male
It don't matter
Who's your roommate
You shouldn't be going
Missing
Pause
I mean not even pause
That's real shit
No pun intended
That's real shit
That's real shit
Oh I get
It's real shit
And you can't even
Replenish it
Oh that is
That's my pet peeve
You can leave the
seat open, I mean seat up, do
not use the toilet paper and leave
it bare. Like, what are you doing?
Because I might get stuck and then I have to waddle
and try to get my... Bill's character.
That's what happened to me. You got too much dip on your
chilt. I came home... You got too much dip on your chit. I came
back from L.A., creating my crib
over here. I had no toilet paper, and
it was going to get nasty. I had to go
downstairs to the gym.
They never run out.
This is just my own personal question. It's pretty
serious. When's the first time?
a relationship that you can fart in front of them
Oh
You want me tell you a funny story
Yes
So it's having a couple of times actually
Oh Jesus
I've been sleep
And I fart and shit
woke me up
But
But the shit about it is
I don't know
I'm shy of women
Y'all just never react
I don't know if y'all hear it
They be shitting
Yeah they'd be doing that nancy shit
Because they always just, it's like, you get up and you run fast, there's no movement, it's just, but I know it was loud because if I'm moving up, I'm thinking something going on.
You got to get up and you got to get up out of there.
That is sick.
Okay, what if you're singing a girl very early on and you're sleeping?
But like, you kind of wake up and she's farting in her sleep.
That's cute.
That's cute.
I like that.
Because it's raw.
Yeah, that's me and my baby mother.
First night.
Like the first night we slept over, like she farted right on my leg.
I said,
bitch,
I love you.
So I am going to
impregnate you.
And you did.
She was not pregnant yet
because we didn't have sex yet.
Which is fun on your lap.
I don't know what's going on that day.
She was asleep though,
but you know,
I guess,
but I don't ever believe
that women,
I don't ever believe
that women's sleep.
I think y'all just like
close your eyes for a few.
We're plotting.
Yeah,
because y'all fucks be up
bad fast.
She was loud.
It felt like I got shot.
Did it sound like firm?
It felt like I got shot.
I just felt something
tapped me in the leg.
I felt like I got shot.
I said, no, no, it's a dub.
It's a dub.
We got to have a conversation.
But what is like she laughs too hard and it comes out?
Wow.
Oh, that's mad cute.
Like, shit happens.
That's mad cute.
Now, here are the thing.
Look, that happened to me once.
That might not be just a fault in them pants.
That's none of my business.
I feel like girls don't shart.
I feel like girls shit, girls fart.
Girls don't shart.
You're a lie.
You never know.
You're a lie.
Check them drawers.
Check the fecal matter.
There ain't no problem.
There's a fecal matter, isn't a problem.
Y'all will never know because y'all got the little drawer strings up you
y'all ask y'all never know so it like
it kind of probably like keeps
it keeps it in there you guys I'm gonna say
honestly I don't like thongs I like wearing granny
panties wow I know you
I know your shit if you fart it I know
it's a little brown
it's a little just a slight
it's mostly just period stains you know
mouse
mouse mouse mouse
Mouse
Periods are part of life
Your life no periods are part of sentences
And I prefer
Run on sentences, actually, because I like Twitter.
If you're going to protect women, you've got to support that, like, that's how my system works.
My name is, not Cotex.
The fact you know what Cotex is, I like you.
It means your girl, you had to get pads for your girl before.
I have.
Oh, that's cute.
When you're trying not to come, what do you think about?
Imperial blood.
Layups.
White men.
Layups.
Who's shooting the layups?
Me.
I'm on the court.
You're just playing basketball?
You don't get a boner thinking about like your smooth-ass layup?
If I play a ball with a boner.
There we go.
You better.
What do you know about that?
I'm from Brooklyn.
You think I know about a ball?
Talk about it.
Talk about it.
I couldn't play.
I can't play basketball.
So it's you just slapping the ball.
Not on.
Just me up to court.
Mouse, what do you think?
Or do you just come?
Or you're just like, it's time.
Yeah, it's lightless.
I'm here.
I made it.
You didn't?
It's too bad.
Mack, what do you think about?
What do I think about?
What do I think about?
Trying not to come?
What I'm going to do after I come.
Oh, shit.
Goodness gracious.
Well, for me, let me see for me.
I don't think about anything in particular.
I usually, I try to stay in the moment.
And I just breathe.
Yeah, because you're, like, a sensual lover.
You told me that last time.
I just tried to breathe.
Niggas love selling dick on podcasts.
I know how to make myself come better than you do.
You know what?
My hand jobs are shit.
It don't matter what job you got.
My hand jobs are brutal.
When I had tennis calluses, mm.
Oh, ouch.
Okay, guys, now our final game, you're doing very well, is the Seven Deadly Sins.
Oh, shit.
Seven Deadly Sins.
What are you guys greedy about?
Vigina.
Mm.
Communication.
You're with someone right now?
Yeah.
Yeah, so you're greedy about getting as much of her vagina you can get?
Uh, much of her.
attention as I could get to be honest.
You love attention?
Yeah, I need that.
Do you give an even amount of attention to her?
Or does she not need it?
Nah, I over.
I overdo it.
I'm on you.
So you need to find someone who liked that because some girls don't like too much.
He found her.
Like having to be able to do that.
What's your sign?
Best sign.
There it goes.
Aries all day.
April 15th.
You're both Aries?
To her same day.
What's your girl?
You gotta know these things if you come on my phone.
Leo.
Yeah.
That's a great Matt
I'm Leo
Leo Aries are good
Wait what sign are you Mac
Cancer
Ooh you're sensitive
On the inside
But hard on the outside
No he's sensitive inside
And outside
Fuck you bitch
I'm fucking sensitive
Fuck yo
I'm not fucking sensitive
I know
I'm panicking
I
What do you
What do you greedy
About Fly Rye
My food
My fly fly fly by
Your food
Yeah
Don't touch my shit
Oh
Do you eat a lot
Yeah a lot
See, look, he's selling dick again.
God, that's gracious.
Mack, what do you greedy about?
Being late.
Being greedy about...
His virginity.
I was.
I was.
I was.
Oh, where's it at?
Where's that?
There we go.
There you go, Mowles.
There you go.
What am I greedy about?
Just my space when it comes to creativity.
Like, I need to have my space.
As soon as I feel like my space is being invasive,
or people are overstepping their bounds when it comes to me working or creating something,
I get turned off very quickly.
So if someone's kind of trying to control your vision, you'll say step back.
Yeah, I love help.
I'm never the person that's going to turn away help,
but as soon as I feel people are trying to, like, guide it in a direction that it's not,
that I didn't foresee it going, whether they could be right or,
completely wrong i i don't i wouldn't know i i just it turns me off it's funny because i'm a
control freak when i when it comes to my creativity but sometimes with women like people would be like
you're being really controlling and i'm like or i just know what i want exactly and i feel like
sometimes with men it's like oh respect this guy knows what he wants but i want to assert women to
be more assertive with that shit because sometimes you some dude that doesn't know as much as you
was like we think this is better for the project no who are you guys
I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. So that's it. Like, I'm here. I'm here. I'm supposed to be here. Like, I'm here and I'm not supposed to be here. You feel what I'm saying? So I'm envious of nothing and no one. Like, this is not there. Why are you not supposed to be here? Like, we just having this conversation the other day. Like, I'm a young... Get here. Nobody's supposed to be here. I tried that love.
for the last time.
You have a beautiful voice.
Thank you.
I put myself in a notice I say that I put myself in a lot of predicaments that forced
bad things to always be around me.
So I'm not, I was supposed to be dead at 16.
I was supposed to be dead at 17.
I was supposed to be dead at 18.
Then I joined a war that America was fighting.
So I was supposed to be dead.
all those years
came home
did a whole bunch of shit
that was supposed to be dead for
So me
You've had
You're like nine lives
Yeah
So me on the precipice
Of being 30
Cat Jones instead
Cat Jones
Yeah
Yeah
No
That's similar to Mac
Who was kind of like
I saw that life
isn't just like
Forever
And once you're right
That perspective
Exactly
So it didn't just
You know
We could talk about it
Forever and ever
because it ain't never going to change.
I'm still a black man.
In America, a black man is not supposed to make it past 21.
So me and Ryan here, me, Ryan, actually me, Ryan and Mack all sitting here on the precipice of turning 30 this year.
Congratulations.
This is all, for me.
Dirty, 30.
Oh, it's going to be very dirty.
It's going to be extremely dirty.
Filthy.
I am nervous.
Anybody?
Move, bitch.
Get out the way.
Who am I envious of?
Mouse Jones, who lost his virginity at nine.
You lost at nine?
You left that nine?
He's left the studio, people.
He's left the studio.
The drama king is in the building.
Warning.
This is a warning.
Warning.
This is a warning. Warning.
Oh, man.
That is sick.
That is nasty work.
Now, who am I jealous of?
It's a nasty, it's a nasty trait, right?
And I think the problem with envy is that you see something in someone that you know that you could be,
but you're obviously not working hard enough to be it.
So I know there was times where when I was younger,
I would be very envious, even especially of my friends, like people that were closest to me because...
Well, those are the people that you get most envious of, not the people that you can't compare yourself to,
but the ones who had similar journeys.
That's what I'm saying.
Because you know it could be you.
Yeah, I know there was times...
It's tangible.
Yeah.
It would be like, damn, like, this nigga Kofi doing this movie, I could be doing all this nigga Mike Dia is doing this movie.
It's a sign from the universe telling you this emotion of envy is telling you what the fuck you need to do.
No, I know. That's why as of late, you know, with a lot of soul searching and understanding who I am,
it's got to a place of, I can't be envious of Chris Brown and his achievements. I can't be envious
of, of Eric Bellinger. And I'm like, it's like, you got to, you are who you are.
Is it tough in your industry that, like, you could work really hard, but still, like, sports sometimes,
like, you can just be better than someone and you know you're going to win where, like, politics get involved.
And also there's stuff in Hollywood and shit
Like they can pick someone else over you
Just because they don't like your hair
This is very very very true
How do you deal with that lack of control
Yeah you just kind of have to roll with it
That's the that's one of the hardest things in this business
Until you have the platform that either you can
Create your own content or that you could
I guess be in a place where people
I guess have to work with you
you're literally in a place where you know you're you're subject to the consistent nose
I was just having this conversation with somebody earlier it's crazy in the between the
music and the and the acting business because on one hand on the acting business you get told
no a million times but in private whereas in music you get told no very very publicly like
So you release something and you see how people respond?
Quickly.
Very quickly.
You can move the role.
Because it either hits or it doesn't.
Yeah, it either hits.
It could either hit, it could be sleepy, as mouse would say, or it just doesn't hit at all.
Like it could be very like, save your sleepy work.
So that's what I'm saying.
Do you feel like you've been in the industry for a while?
Do you know when something's going to hit?
No.
Or you still like never really know how people are going to respond?
You never know.
You never know.
variables, honestly, that go into what makes something hit or what makes something
specifically. And if it was an easy algorithm, everyone would do it. Oh, my God, absolutely. And
there are people in the industry who constantly try to figure out the algorithm, but it's literally
the people and the time, all of the, depending on where people are in that moment and what
people are feeling and the music that you drop or the role that you create or the, the, the
film that you shoot all of that
if it comes at the right time
it hits and it hits hard
or you can literally
miss just because it's just not the right time
and you have to be okay with that
got to or you lose your fucking mind
pretty much which one of you guys
experiences the most wrath so who do you think
has anger issues in the group them too no
I don't why I'm the most level-headed
one of us who snap
the fuck out of it
okay only
because some shit goes down at the club
who's the one that's going to snap me
I'm going to me 200% okay
okay why why is it you
I'm not as
okay and there's no disrespect
to Ryan or Matt
I didn't go through the
what's the shit called I didn't go
through school yeah but not
in such a way I didn't go through
the unlearning process that they did
or I didn't go through like the filtering process right
I like how you call it unlearning and not learning
nah because I didn't I didn't I didn't like
everything like we were talking about in our podcast we serve i don't believe people are
experience we are what we survive right we are the experience that we survive yeah so i didn't
go through the unlearning process from being on a street to being in an industry i literally was on
the street hopped on twitter start talking shit pitched off all the right people then i'm in the
industry i like that though yeah i love it but there's a lot of people
rough around the edges.
Exactly.
And I don't,
and I guess I never,
like I never,
I reconciled with,
I did what I had to do.
So I don't feel bad about nothing
I had to do.
So I don't ever.
Were you purposely trying to piss people off
to like market yourself
or that was just your personality?
Nah,
I never,
I never,
you know when I'm trying to purposely piss somebody off.
And I never try and person.
But you weren't like,
I'm going to be strategic
to get fame and talk shit to Arkelly.
No,
because there's no way to do that.
You get what I'm saying?
Like,
because there's a million people on the internet.
What does the community feel about Arkelly?
the music community.
We don't.
Yeah, we don't.
It's just like, it's just...
Yeah, we don't.
Kill them.
Yeah.
Who's the laziest in the group?
None of us are lazy.
I'm about to say.
None of us are lazy, but the person...
I work my ass off.
I got 12 jobs, nigga.
I'm Jamaican.
Remember yesterday he said,
he had no job.
I don't.
I'm a fun employed.
What do you do in between stuff?
What do we say tune?
It's fun employed?
Unemployed.
Because I'm not, I'm not unemployed.
I'm not unemployed.
That's the problem.
When you talk to tune,
you come over stupid shit like fun employed.
Hey, listen.
That's some white girl shit, fun-en-loid.
Shut your mouth.
Gap ear.
Gap ear.
That's that white people shit.
The gab here?
I'm taking a gap year?
Yeah, now I'm fun-employed.
Mack, when you're in between gigs,
do you ever feel paranoid that, like, you're not doing enough?
I always feel like I'm not doing enough.
That's why I always, that's why I'm always doing something.
I'm always moving.
I gotta keep moving.
If I sit down for too long, I feel like I'm not, like, I don't know.
It's a weird feeling.
It almost feel like you're gonna die, right?
That's how I feel.
If I sit still too long, I feel like something that's going to happen.
True, I only feel alive when I'm, like, dealing with shit, trying to solve problems, trying to create.
Exactly.
But that's why I think we are in the industry we're in.
Yeah, pretty much.
When was the last time you guys let your pride or your ego get in the way of something?
Wow.
Wow.
This is some deep shit.
I control my ego when I'm with my woman, when I'm with my friends.
There's no need for it.
But a lot of times your job is your ego.
Yeah, so it's like.
But I feel like if you.
connect your ego too much to your job, then you
it's bad. Like when I was
too connected with tennis with my ego, when I'd
lose, I'd be depressed for three weeks.
But if it was just like part of
what I'd do, when I'd lose, I wouldn't
be a scared of losing if it wasn't so attached to my
ego. Yeah. I mean, well, the game
that Mouse is in in particular is
it's an interesting one where
it's, the, a loss
isn't necessarily, the only time
he's losing is if he's missing
out on a job. But otherwise,
or if he's not being himself. Yeah.
Oh, that's a big loss.
That's a loss.
That's a loss.
It's a loss.
But it's like, it's like.
You won't have friends if you have your ego all the time.
I don't believe that because I've never built, like there's no, Matt could tell you, like, there's no difference between Mouse Jones and, I'm not going to say my government, but, like, I'm the same person.
I didn't create no alter ego.
Like, the same person, the same person I am today with the same person I've always been, just, you know.
You know, I learned a little bit here, learned a little bit here, apply a little bit here.
You're growing, but...
Mouse is literally the name I grew...
Well, Mousy, that was what everybody called me growing up.
I had big ass ears growing up.
So they called me Mighty Mouse, and then it turned to Mousie.
And then when I got in the industry, I was like, just call it Mouse.
It's cool because no matter if you're, like, sitting on your stoop, talking shit with your friends when you're young, to being on stage at BET, you're still getting called Mous.
Exactly.
So everybody knows.
So there is no...
So you go kind of in check because it's all about people.
used to like kind of make fun of you and joke but now man no no ain't nobody haven't made fun of me
that didn't happen to me okay guys we got our final question on seven deadly sins
when was the last time you guys lusted over somebody oh oh I lest over I lust over my woman every
day wow there we go there we go there we're smart yeah you're good guy every day you're good
that was a test I was extremely lustful um this weekend and
In Antiguan.
Oh, my God.
Rub it in, buddy.
Are those in Teagan's hot?
And I got to fuck us up, Hannah.
Tell you, I lusted over.
My woman.
When Mac lusted over, the woman he was with.
Yes, sir.
And that's what we're going, Hannah.
Let's get another question, Hannah.
Keep it right there.
So we're going to wrap this shit up.
For people listening who are going through their own hell.
Yeah.
Because we've all gone through it.
What advice do you give them?
Appreciate it.
Of how you cope with your hell.
Appreciate it.
take it in take every single moment of it in because when you meet it again or when you meet a
different level of hell you're going to remember exactly what this moment felt like and it won't feel
as scary and you going through this hell it's going to make what's on the other side so much more
worth it you know that's one of the best answers I've ever gotten it's funny that you ask that
right it's funny that you ask like if people who I know that are going through their own
personal health. I am a guy who I live off of quotes. Like I live off of quotes. So there's this
one quote that they always say is from Winston Churchill or from whoever. And the quote is,
if you're going through hell, keep going. Yep. It's the realest, it's one of the realest things
that I've ever heard. I've dealt with depression and, you know, as a word Miles Jones would
use, a myriad of different emotions and feelings that I've.
Not the Webster Diction.
Exactly.
That sometimes I couldn't explain
and didn't understand
why I was going through these feelings
or these sections in my life
that just felt like everything was going wrong.
But the only thing that you can possibly do
is continue to move
because you can't just sit there.
Because nothing will change
if you stay at the same place.
Exactly.
So if you're going through hell,
keep going.
Winston Churchill.
