Rob, you from Atlanta.
If you were on the bus with me
when the homeless man did the My Germs to
My Food, you would have stepped in?

robert knows all the snapple facts he knows like all the songs that everybody has forgot about
I really enjoy you as a person
You are a big music fan
Which is good
Because a lot of music comes out of Atlanta
This is very true
What's one of your favorite producers
That lives in Atlanta
I think Jermaine Dupri
Is very underrated
You mean underrated by
What do you mean by that
He doesn't get his due
People don't know all the stuff that he did
We know because he was in the music videos
Run us through some of the things
that you think people don't know about J.D.?
Like, confessions is about him.
Confessions?
Excuse me?
These are my confessions.
That's about Jermaine Dupri?
That's about Jermaine Dupri.
Usher was banging Jermaine?
No, no, no.
Like, Jermaine had a chick on his side.
Who was he dating at the time?
Was he dating Janet?
It might have been right before Janet.
He got a lot of nerve.
He is 4'11", nothing.
And he cheating?
He got side chicks?
He's a genius.
He looks like a troll, though.
He got baby beaver body, and he is cheap.
He produced a lot of TLC songs.
So because you produced Creep, you can creep on me?
No way.
Well, Creep was about Brian something.
Dallas Austin, right?
Dallas Austin.
Yes, and he ain't shit either.
He ain't shit.
He comes to my job a lot.
Does he?
Yes.
He's one of those guys that doesn't know that he's black.
I feel like he doesn't.
So he's a Blair Underwood, if you will.
A Terrence Howard.
Wait, what?
A Taye Diggs, if you will.
Where did this come from?
Blair Underwood?
Uppity Negro realness.
What?
He's like, you know what I like?
I like when your hair is straight and long.
He's the one that plays the black interest in a lot of black movies, but then you see him out.
Y'all talking about characters, but y'all saying-
No, no, I'm talking about Blair Underwood in Fuel Life.
Yeah, he'll talk about, he'll be all black love, and then you see him out, and you'll be like, is that a Susan?
Is that a Rebecca?
He'll be out dating Susan Sarandon.
That's what type of woman. He likes an older,
elderly white woman. Oh, I was going to say
he'd be out with a Taylor Swift wife.
Susan Sarandon, because you know she got
cleavage all day. I don't even know where you find
out personal information about
them. Instagram. Yeah.
And WikiLeaks. It was in the WikiLeaks family thing.
It was a baby man?
Hillary was like,
you know, Blair, the one slitting my
teeth?
that's exactly oh i have it uh let's wait so you said he's underrated was like name three
songs that were like the top song or three albums that you're getting or three careers
that you think that he like absolutely okay well he was cut out of the tlc movie
i i get why they couldn't find they couldn't cast that role they were like we ain't no trolls
available uh all right the pit bull looks terrible in this way i mean jagged edge let's get married
do you think he gets residuals for that song definitely okay well he also was like a big
part in mariah carey's career too yeah well that's right back uh yeah the emancipation of
mimi okay well that's when she was into like black people and she was very like in the urban circuit
She was always into black people
If you listen to Rescue Me
There is a Big Daddy
Can't be embedded into that song
It's always like
You know I'm a big Mariah Carey fan
But I don't know Rescue Me
How'd that song go?
That sounds like Harper
Then y'all gonna have to pay
That sounds like Harper
Thank you Rob
All we gotta do is move something
Move something around
Anyway, in Atlanta, there was a huge So So Def billboard that said Welcome to Atlanta, and it was up there for like 20 years.
Like the song Welcome to Atlanta was commissioned by the city of Atlanta.
Like they paid for that song.
Well, who was on the song?
Ludacris was on it.
Ludacris and Brandon Pree, and all they do is talk about all the clubs in Atlanta.
Snoop Dogg.
Oh, yeah.
Snoop Dogg and Murphy Lee were on it.
isn't he from st louis he's from st louis he got some nerve i'm gonna make it
i know i know i like what happened to the remix rob can we talk about the remix briefly
because the remix used to be like you heard a song it was hot and then the remix will come out
and it sounded a little bit different but a little bit the same even hotter though and then mad
cameos like that still exists no what's the last good remix that you cares about remixes now it's
the same song they don't change the beat at all it's the same song they just add people to it or
the first song the original song will have mad cameos in it too so you won't have a remix because
they already have 12 people on their motherfucking track or certain times there's songs that like i
only know the remix and that's the only version that i know and then i'll hear the original and
be like this sounds awful like let's get married i think we get or sleeping in my bed yeah those
are totally different right man you pre-did that he did yes he did yeah i didn't know what do you
want to dance i'm gonna make you dance so many like music out of atlanta though that's just like
one so who do you think is like the best artist number one artist to come out of atlanta usher
Yeah.
Well, I mean, there's a lot of people.
We got T.I., right?
It's Little John.
I don't know if you'd go beyond OutKast.
Oh.
Well, I feel like they were the most talented, but I feel like, what have they been doing?
Like, they broke up.
Well, Andre 3000 is an actor now.
At their reunion concert, it, like, shut the city down.
Oh, that's the only one.
Well, it's not that hard to shut Atlanta down.
don't y'all have like a parade like on peach tree street or something like that
well that that was a thing uh freak nick did you ever go to freak nick i was too young for freak
nick so i never i heard they didn't get it is it still like going on now the videos i've seen on
youtube are incredible like i remember like it being on the news and then you know people being
upset about it. Isn't Freaknit
like Juve? It's like Juve.
It's like the West Indian Day Parade.
Yeah, it's like the West Indian Day Parade. It's more
aligned with Black College Spring Break.
Yeah, so it's in line with
Black College Spring Break. It didn't originate
in Atlanta. It didn't?
No, I think it originated in
D.C.
I can see that. Really? Yeah, the Freaks
be in D.C. It's sort of a different world
where they're like, we're going to D.C. to go to
Freaknit.
and then yeah
we're gonna have to google that
we're gonna have to fact check that
Roberto
but okay so
Freak Nick was in DC
so have you ever watched a video from Freak Nick
and been like is that my mom
like have you ever been like
seeing your auntie twerking on somebody
that she didn't know
I don't know but definitely not my mom
oh so
don't you dare talk about mother
Hayes. What does Mama Hayes
do? She's a teacher.
You know, I thought you were going to say that.
I don't know why. I just assumed that your mom
was a teacher. Well, Rob is very educated.
No, you never told me that. You have great diction.
You know big words.
I guess.
Yeah, and you have a collared shirt on.
You have a poppier collar.
He's polo down to the socks. Your shoes
polo. Your polo polo.
Wait, are those
supposed to be tan boots?
No, they're polo boots. Those are polo boots.
Yeah you're definitely from Atlanta
Well yeah what's the
I don't know because in New York
You know we know what certain
Labels people wear all the time
What's the go to label in Atlanta
Like growing up
I feel like stuff hits Atlanta at different times
Yeah cause y'all still in like 92
Polo hit Atlanta at a different time
Than it hit New York
The same with like white tees
Like white tees was a thing I think
In the early 2000s in New York
And in Atlanta we were like
we gotta make songs about these white
tees. Yes, in my white tee.
In my white tee.
We have white tees.
Oh my god, yes. That's true.
Them franchise boys.
Are they from Atlanta? I don't want to make
people think that Atlanta's
I guess history
or culture starts with
hip hop because it goes back way
further. Okay, well sure, let us know.
Because, you know, it's like
the birthplace of the Civil Rights Movement
and Martin Luther King. It is.
Black History Month, so please preach.
Speak out, kid.
No, because, like, okay, Edgewood in Atlanta is popping right now.
Like, that's where a lot of the young people go and hang out.
But that's also, like, where Martin Luther King grew up.
It's kind of, like, weird.
I didn't know Martin Luther King was born.
He was born in Atlanta?
I thought he was born in Montgomery.
Born in Atlanta.
Went to high school at Booker T. Washington High School.
That's where my mom works.
Lena Horne went to high school there.
Like, that was the black high school.
Look at you plugging all this stuff.
look at you rob shout out shout out to lena horn yeah yeah there's a there's a there's a history of
you know of course segregation and whatnot and southwest atlanta is where all the black people
were during segregation and since then they have branched out to the east side right is the black
folks are gentrifying atlanta because when i think of atlanta i don't think of white people at all
yeah are there white people in atlanta if so where are they feel like where are they in atlanta
The white people are in Midtown, Alpharetta.
The more north you go, they're white people.
So theology is pushing them out of the stick.
The white flight is real.
Some are being pushed and then some are leaving.
How do we do that here in New York?
I feel like you guys are pushing the white people out of Atlanta so fast that they're moving into Brooklyn.
How do we do that in other states?
Well, I mean, you got people coming in Atlanta, black people from all over the country.
I feel like it's a capital of black people because you could just go there, have a home.
You can have a black school.
You can have everything.
You could have a chateau charret for $12.
Chateau charret.
I don't know about $12.
Yo, when I tell you Kenya goes in on charret and be like her bootleg rundown castle she got going over there.
You know what we're talking about, Rob?
Yes.
Okay, good.
This is Real Housewives Talk.
Okay.
I just wanted to see if you really were the expert.
Yes.
But the standard of living or the cost of living in Atlanta is cheaper than in New York.
Yeah.
And there's always been an Atlanta-New York connection.
You know, I mean, if you think about it, if you're in Georgia and you follow the North
Star, you're going to end up in New York.
Right.
Is that how you got here?
Yeah.
South Carolina, you're going to end up in New York.
No, I was not a slave.
No, I'm just saying, did you follow the North Star?
If you're in Memphis, Mississippi, you follow the North Star, you're going to end up in Chicago.
So there's always going to be that connection.
Okay, I'm going to make a quick confession to you guys.
When I look up, I can't tell which star is the North Star.
There is no stars in New York City.
We can't see them.
Well, also, it was no light.
Yeah.
So you just saw stars.
Yes, but they knew which one to follow.
They knew enough astronomy to get them where they needed to go.
Or there was a bunch of slaves.
The first wave of slaves, they just followed the Big Dipper.
And they were like, oh, we at the ocean.
We must have took a turn the wrong way somewhere.
So there's some slaves that are lost.
Well, because how do you just know which star to follow?
North Star.
Because Harriet told them.
Were you there?
I feel like you were there with Harriet Tubman.
No, I was not there.
If you were, your skin looks amazing.
Yeah.
So what else do you think is a connection between Atlanta and New York?
What else do you think?
I mean, hip-hop originates in New York.
Absolutely.
So MC Shadi was the first big Atlanta rapper in the 80s.
And what song is that?
Can you give us a little sample?
What song is that?
What song is that?
Shake it
Terrible
I don't know that song
That didn't hit us
The booty is like
The national symbol
In Atlanta
Why are butts so big down there
Why do y'all
Why can't I have like a 26 inch waist
And a 26 inch butt
Are the butts real down there
What's the ratio to a fake
I think they started out real
the fake butts are gentrifying uh atlanta i mean you know there's an element of that but
i mean i don't know there's people who come in town and be like show me where the fake butts
are like there's no wait there's people asking for fake butt in atlanta what's the strip club
what's the number one strip king of diamonds um to say that there's one strip club what's the
what's the one that you go to king of diamonds sydney i'm not asking you because you're not the
expert thank you rob you're a man yeah what's the number one i'm gonna go where they i am
people know me oh well you're okay so uh rick's cabaret that's where you're hanging out
yeah in atlanta so it's not it's not weird to have like men and women i would go to a strip
in Atlanta. We do that here.
Yeah, I feel like I've seen that here,
but I feel like that's always been a thing
in Atlanta, as far as I can remember.
So, Rob, if money
wasn't a thing, money ain't a thing,
what strip club would
you go to? I've never been to King of Diamonds.
Because you don't have your money right.
When you get your money right, man, we're going to King of Diamonds.
I don't know anybody going.
You know, like, I didn't, like...
Did you hear Rob?
I couldn't catch a ride.
I've been to Onyx plenty of times
Onyx is great
Sounds like beautiful black women
Magic City
What's the setup in the Onyx?
Is it full nudity?
Yeah
Yes
Can you touch?
Touch
I mean with I guess reason and discretion
Oh wow
Obviously
You gotta gently place that palm
How much money have you spent in a strip club in Atlanta?
not a lot one time this guy was showing off to these girls and i was uh seeing one of the girls
and so wait you were dating a stripper no no no no she was a waitress okay no no no she went to
the strip club with her girlfriends and i went along and this guy was like a baller and showing
off he gave me like a hundred ones and was like have a good time so he gave you money so he could
hang out with the girl that you were dating?
No, no, no. Her homegirl.
Yes, but who left with your
girlfriend that night?
We were in separate vehicles.
Rob.
He paid for my dances.
Then we went to Waffle House.
Let's talk about Waffle House.
Let's talk about the food.
What's the cuisine
in Atlanta? What's the go-to
meal or plate? I feel like it's got to be the Waffle
house you got i mean you have your waffle house okay you have your uh your jr crickets what's
that that sound like they deep frying crickets what oh it's like it's small wings but they're
like um they're all over the city you got your american deli what's that yeah is that a corner
store it's a sandwich spot it's like a um a bodega imagine if people liked crown people do

Okay, what's the flavors?
How y'all prepping y'all wings?
You got lemon pepper.

Hot.

Yeah
Like the wing spot
Is like you kinda
Step in and step out
Like it's like
A lot of
Like they're like
Trucks
it's a lot of like
I don't know if you would
listen I watch enough music videos
to see people be standing outside
chicken spot getting numbers
and what not in poom poom shorts
this sounds so offensive
and then they jump into a candy painted automobile
and they rot out
cream on the inside
clean on the outside
yeah buddy
it's Texas music
oh I'm sorry shout out to Bun B
is Bun B Texas
is Bun B Texas though
yeah okay well it's one b that's all that wasn't no yeah no yeah we we don't have a texas expert
yet but we're here with that we're gonna get one don't raise so rob when you got to new york what
was the biggest difference for you like the biggest like oh this ain't i ain't in atlanta
no more what was that what's the thing in new york besides wings that you were like honestly
wings was rob i feel like maybe wings are the key to your heart but like what about everybody in
Atlanta. Like, when people from Atlanta
come to New York, what are they missing?
They're like, damn, I wish I was in Atlanta for
X, Y, and Z.
I mean, okay, I'm not
like, uh,
we don't have a huge Hispanic
population. Okay, okay.
So you miss not hearing
no Spanish then. I hear that. You don't want to hear
no bidi-bidi-bamba, no Salinas.
I got it.
The Hispanic
people that live in Atlanta are
Mexican. Ooh.
And here you got Puerto Ricans and Dominicans
Yeah there's not a lot of
El Salvadorians
Dominicans and not a lot of
Hispanic people that feel comfortable saying
The n-word
That is true
In New York I do say the Spanish people
Are very comfortable where they think
That they're that black
I mean y'all are black
Spanish people sidebar are the first ones to be like
Me no black mami
I Spanish
And then they'd be like, nigga, nigga,
nigga, nigga. But also in New York...
The West Coast is the same, too.
Also in New York, though, I caught an Asian
dude dropping N-bombs. Where?
Just randomly, like, walking out
of, I don't know, he was walking out of a rainbow or something.
And I was like, whoa, what new?
And, like, is it China
that nigga means that?
No, that's nigga. But he was talking
to his friend, and he was like, I'm telling you, though,
my nigga. And I was like,
no, that's what we're not gonna do.
So if you're from Atlanta and you hear a Spanish person say the N-word, you ready to pop off because you're like.
I'm not the pop off type.
Yeah, you're definitely, you pop your collar before you pop off.
I got you.
But the culture is I would imagine someone would pop off.
In Atlanta.
In Atlanta.
I doubt that someone would feel comfortable doing that in the presence of.
True N-words.
I was in Atlanta a couple years ago
With a bunch of my homegirls
And we went to Hooters
Do y'all do Hooters down there?
Cause I went to Hooters
Twin Peaks
No I didn't go to Twin Peaks
That's where the girls have pointy boobs
No it's where like I don't know
I went to the Hooters here and it was quite tired
I wanted my money back for the wings
No we went to Hooters and then we went to
What's the like
Downtown like the downtown mall
That like is in like a
underground we went to the underground underground used to be popular we went and then we were all
talking one day and this dude heard us talking and he was like oh because we were saying all
our e's and our r's and he was like oh black girls can't be black girls no more and he's like
whatever he's he like tried to mock us and we were like but you don't know us
fool and we were trying to be it was like old school slang that we were like throwing at him
you sucker
you old rascal
anyway so he was making fun of us
because he thought we didn't sound
like black women
why do y'all shame
why do you do that Rob
I don't do that
I'm more the victim of that
give us some stories
I don't know
because I guess because
my parents didn't want me to sound like
riff raff
yeah well your mother's a teacher
and I listen cause I feel like
my sister would turn it on and turn it off
yeah I mean that's how we did it at my house
side note
your sister
I love her sister
oh she's quite cute
Google her face
if Rob was a girl
Rob
don't say that
don't say that
she's way cooler than me
no I see you guys on snap
and you guys are like
complimenting each other a lot.
What does your sister do?
Um,
I don't know.
Well,
if I'm not going to put my age out there,
I'm not going to put all her business out there.
No,
I just want to know what she does.
Is she a teacher?
Is she still in Atlanta?
Is she a performer?
She's still in Atlanta.
She's a flight attendant.
Oh,
he didn't want to tell you
because she's going to ask
for some buddy passes.
I know what it is.
I know what it is.
You don't want to give us
the connect.
What airline is she working for?
Don't worry about all that.
She,
uh,
she working this weekend.
Well,
that's great.
so your sister would turn it on and turn it off
and you just left it off
yeah I don't think I was as good at code switching
I was I guess
I don't know I was
a nerd you know I was a bit of a
I wasn't the coolest
guy and I think
a lot of the
Atlanta-isms I kind of
rejected for a while
yeah can you give me some like Atlanta slang
there's some words it's just like only in Atlanta
that people say that
What my name is
What's that guy name
Come here girl
Shoddy what my name is
Shoddy actually helped me get my start in comedy
No way
Look at you
Really
Yeah I used to go to Uptown Comedy Corner
Which is
On Marietta Street
By Georgia Tech
I love Shoddy
He was a tip drill.
Went to Georgia Tech.
Works for CBS.
What song is that, Rob?
That same girl.
Yes, it do.
R. Kelly and Usher.
So tell us some slang.
Let's see.
I feel like.
I know you don't speak it, but like.
Where did Tenderoni come out of?
What is that?
That is.
That's the Isley Brothers, isn't it?
I feel like that's a new addition.
Yeah, that's Bobby Brown.
Yeah, but where did Tenderoni.
Listen, I was in Vegas.
and this dude who looked like T.I. from Atlanta
came up to talk to me and we were chit-chatting
he asked me how old I was I told him
he said oh I got me a little
tenderoni and I was like he
must be 93 years
old there's no way this
old man
yeah he said don't connect us to that
he was from Atlanta
and someone with a Braves hat said tenderoni
put him on my
city right there
he got nothing to do with Atlanta
I'm giving him to you because he looked like T.I.
No, Bobby Brown's from Boston.
Is that where Bobby's from?
You didn't see the movie?
No, we missed out on that.
I saw the last night.
In the first place, Bobby Brown got arrested.
Oh.
What other trivia do you have
about Atlanta?
Because it's the Bible Belt
and he was gyrating.
He got arrested for humping.
He got arrested for humping and not doing concave?
He was high.
He got arrested for high.
Atlanta's in the Bible Belt, but y'all got all the strip clubs.
Yes, but they're closed on Sunday, so the strippers can go to church.
Well, what day of the week was Bobby gyrating on?
Because it probably wasn't a Sunday.
It might have been a Saturday night turned into Sunday.
Listen, it was probably a Thursday.
You know, listen, they said he got locked up for gyrating,
but it was really for doing cocaine.
You know what?
I'm not going to gyrate.
His nose was gyrating on some lines.
Yes, it was.
I'm not going to talk to you about it.
Is gyrating the new term for cocaine?
Gyrating means twerking on some blow
What else do you know about
Can you give us some more facts
I think
All the liquor stores are closed on Sunday
That's terrible
What's the drink of choice
That the black folks drink in Atlanta
Because in New York it's
Can we say it at the same time
One, two, three
Hennessy
So is that the drink of choice
Yeah I feel like
you know, the internet
is causing a lot of stuff to be
similar. But wait, didn't Ludacris
was his conjure or something? Didn't he
have a liquor? Did that ever
take off? Nah. He's
going to say a no. Ludacris, that's
a no for the conjure.
We was, you know, Ciroc
during the Ciroc era.
You know, I mean, like, there's a lot
of, uh, what's the little
thing with the little sippy
cup top? Scissor?
no it was like pink oh nuvo nuvo yeah it was popping like it's just you know i mean i what i
can say is in atlanta people are willing to let trends go fast like them apple bottom jeans
things don't stay like a long time so like yes the dab came out of atlanta but the dab might
have lasted like three months because white people started doing it as soon as white people
start doing stuff. We were like saying things.
We're all set. We gotta come up with something new.
And like, you know, hit them folks.
I mean, there's so many dances.
There's so many trends. But
you know, they're here today and they're
gone tomorrow. Okay.
So now my, so you said dance.
Music in Atlanta seems very
dancey to me. It's either like
cheesy or like
you're a
soldier boy. Is soldier boy from Atlanta?
He's from Mississippi. Okay. Well,
you know where everybody from. Maybe that's what
you should have been the expert on but i feel like a lot of those dance songs come out of atlanta
so dancing is like a really really big part of everyday life down there
yes and it's and it's an answer to crunk because like crunk people are getting hurt
yes they were people were just like overzealous crunkers yeah like you like ready to fight
fight music you know
Nuck If You Buck
I thought people were having seizures
East Side vs. West Side
when they were doing a stomp
if you don't give a damn we don't give a
like that song was too much
because people would be stomping in their Timberland boots
in New York City and I'm like
you are fucking up my pinky toe now
give me my pinky toe back
there was a whole era of songs
that were like East Side vs. West Side
and people on the East Side
swear they hated people on the West Side
east side and the west side
that dates back to
like a whole thing
but
where is Bone Crusher from?
it materialized in the music
yeah but that's like back in the day when people would like
dance battle they put the cardboard down
and like they would battle
but these weren't dance battles these were fights
like a lot of parties would end in like gunshots
well I mean you know you're not at a good party if it don't end in gunshots
I feel like all the best parties
ended with like somebody you know
i think somebody not being able to go to the no chase like clean with it rock with it the
motorcycle what's the motorcycle uh dro young jock it's going down jock what are you trying to sing
a lot of people embrace those songs because it was like this is a way better way to party
than oh we loved those songs up here you know putting on and trying to be tough and macho and
hitting each other have you especially like especially when you get to college and you get to
like spaces where all right no one here is really a thug yeah here's really trapping so why would we
push each other in the club when we can all snap and have a good time yeah i feel like a really a
lot of good dancers come from atl right sierra's from down there ain't you sierra yo and she
literally shuts it down i wish that she was still like dancing because when she did my goodies she's
pregnant i mean i've seen a lot of pregnant women dancing on instagram i'm sure yes those people
don't have the sierra uh matrix you can't matrix with the baby belly popping out you matrix because
the baby's just like future from atlanta of course he is future we don't speak of that here
you don't say sierra and then say future right after we don't do that now i'm surprised i haven't
said future yet what do you feel about um the like scissor the lean i feel like that was going
really hard in atl because of the rappers but not really because of the people there
yeah um i mean i've never sipped lean i kind of regret that i never did oh my god rob the big
surprise for you we've got a case of lean no we don't you just you're just in luck because we got
some lean in our bags you are in luck there is luck there is lean in this thermos but uh no i do
i do uh it it was a huge thing and it's still there's still people who like so even though
it's illegal. Like, somehow, even though
you can't get this stuff over the counter.
I mean, Lil Wayne fucked it up for
everybody. I mean, he was just getting leaked
out. Well, and not only that,
he even put, like, instructions on YouTube.
Like, he taught people how to do it,
and it was like, oh, man. So what is it? It's cough
syrup. It's a mixture of
promethazine and codeine. And what is
promethazine? Is that a cough syrup?
It's a chemical that's in
cough syrup. Okay. And then what's
what, and then what's the other
part of the? Sprite. Oh, codeine.
what's what's coding coding's in a different type of cop syrup so like one gives you an upper
feeling one gives you a downer feeling and then spray so the mix coding is expensive and so is uh
yeah like you have to have really good insurance to get these items type of hood pharmacist
scientist was mixing these things and was like yo you know what this is my cold went away i'm
no longer congested but also i'm feeling real high and low at the same time lean someone in texas
yeah it's a texas thing but then it became like a southern thing so then you know rob you have
all of the answers it came right across that bible belt i mean i'm i'm you know no matter what it is
i'm gonna be a nerd about it like no matter you know i'm saying no matter how cool it is
even if it's like drugs
and hip-hop and strip clubs, I'm still
going to be nerdy about it.
I feel like you make it sophisticated, though.
Yeah, drugs, hip-hop, and strip.
Yes, that's all we've been talking about today.
Why can't we talk about something else?
I've been trying to, you know, bring in
little things about the civil rights movement.
He did drop that, and you were like,
next!
You were like, what?
But what about
Lil Jon, Robert? Have you seen him?
And the East Side Boys.
So what are the East Side Boys?
That's Lil Jon and his crew.
They had this song, I Like Them Goods.
No, I don't know that song.
In 1999.
A lot of songs didn't make it out.
A lot of people don't know.
Didn't make it out of Atlanta?
Yeah, like Kilo is a legend in Atlanta.
Are you trying to say C-Lo?
No, Kilo.
What's the Kilo song?
You don't know who Kilo is?
Sing a song.
Love in Her Mouth.
love in her mouth
I don't think you can say that on air
what is that love in your mouth
what happens in a bible belt
anyone south of maybe
DC to like
Texas probably knows love in her mouth
can you give us
the chorus
love in her mouth
love in her mouth

song that shot in your mouth yes you can put it in your mouth yes oh my goodness but that's not

like designer is one okay right where's he from he's from brooklyn that ain't what brooklyn is
he don't represent he don't represent my brooklyn he's like a like autistic brooklyn yes because i
don't know what he's been on too much link his ass burgers brooklyn who's somebody else that
like people normally assume is from somewhere from down there but they're from up here
we could go through
some names. I thought Nelly
Nelly's from St. Louis
Nelly's from St. Louis. But he gives me
Atlanta vibes
Is it the band-aid?
But no, I mean
I don't know, he was
repping St. Louis so hard, I don't know
I mean all I remember is
it's too hot in here, that's all I remember
When Nelly came out, you gotta remember
everyone in
Atlanta had braids

Sports teams coming out of Atlanta

Obviously the Falcons are terrible
The Braves
Like they
During my childhood won their division
Every year
I feel like I remember the Braves being like the Yankees
David Justice
Was with
Holly Berry. It was a great time for the Braves.
Oh, he was a baseball player.
Wasn't he beating her ass?

lot of peach stuff a lot of peach trees and but I don't know there's a the more the older I get

No, I'm talking about actual, like, hawks and, like, they're actual, like, big birds in Atlanta.
Big bird.
Okay.
Okay, so let's see if you really are truly the expert in all things Atlanta.
I think you are because you know, like, the little things and the big things, too.
Like, there was a lot of random stuff that was like, man, Robert L. Hayes knows all of that.

Could you give a tour in Atlanta?
I could probably give a good tour.
So, like, if we go to Atlanta and you're there...
Where are you taking us?

Not to your house.
We want to not spend any of our New York dollars.
Oh, you could definitely do that.

going to pay for us or do we have to use our own money?
I feel like Waffle House is like $12 for
all three of us to eat. No, no. I know how to crank
that Waffle House for like $5.
Really? Crank that Waffle House?
Yes. Wow. Okay.
Yes. How do you crank that Waffle House for $5?
Maybe go ahead and put these glasses on. Okay, what I would get if I was
only trying to spend $5 is
a bacon, egg, and cheese on
raisin toast. That way you get
show. Raisin toast?
I've never heard of that. That way you get
like, you know, you're salty, but you get
your sweet at the same time. That's savory.
Savory and sweet. Wait.
I don't think they have raisin
toast in New York. No, they do. Cinnamon raisin
toast? But, you know, they don't have it in New York.

like a
one movie
what's a movie that's good that's from
ATL because we have like Crooklyn
we have a lot of
we have to do the right thing
I feel like a lot of the Atlanta stories
have yet to been
properly told
so you're saying there's no movie
to
when I see
Diary of a Mad Black Woman
and that depiction of Atlanta
I'm always like
that like it's something
off about it
well it's a Tyler Perry movie that's why
that's what's off about it
I'm trying to think
is Tyler Perry from Atlanta
yes Tyler Perry is from Atlanta
you didn't name him
how do you feel about Tyler Perry
I was on the spot I don't know
yeah but how do you feel about Tyler Perry
cause you know we don't really F with him
I'm not a big Tyler Perry fan
but I know people who are like
huge Tyler Perry fans
cause they respect what he's doing
he's giving people jobs
people used to bring his DVDs to school
on that day where the teacher would be like
anybody got some movies we can watch some movies
wait in Atlanta
at Booker T. Washington
y'all allowed to
bring... Can I have somebody throw in a
tape? Y'all don't have to bring
in a VHS.
Y'all never had a movie date? Yeah, but the teacher bought those
movies. No. We never bought movies
from home. How's the teacher gonna watch
some good movies? Well, I saw Free Willy
at school. I remember one day this girl brought in Baby
Boy and we watched it because it sounds like
a kid's movie. Oh, yeah.
No, the teacher should have gotten in trouble for not Googling.
Yeah, she should have reviewed that.
It's before Google.
No, Baby Boy came out in 2000 something.
Yeah, but you could just look at the cover of it and be like, Tyrese?
Also, there's a rating on the movie that plays right before the movie starts.
That's true.
When we got real quiet, we were so behaved.
Because you were like, we don't want to watch that.
But then she was like, all right, someone brought in this movie.
Baby boy.
Everybody got real quiet.
And the teacher probably looked all, like, prestigious and, like, a good teacher.
He's like, we're going to watch Baby Boy.
In my mind, all the teachers in Atlanta have tiny waists and fat butts.
Did you have a teacher like that?
Did you not have a teacher like that?
The teacher be like, meow.
Did I or did I not?
You just asked two different questions.
I'm asking, did you have, because I'm assuming you did not, I'm assuming all your teachers
looked like that.
No.
You had a fat teacher?
Yeah.
Well, it's also Atlanta.
I feel like there's fat people down there, too.
it's a place
they're human beings
people of all shapes and sizes
and alright so we wrap that up
and the last question for me is
I need you to do three dance moves
from Atlanta
alright let me step off to the side
I don't like this
y'all don't make anybody else dance
we made Donella Rollins
eat baby food
we didn't make you eat anything
okay do two dance moves
You dance a lot, Rob.
I know, but there's no music playing.
Okay, what song do you want me to play?
Do you want me to sing something?
No, we don't want you singing.
Some little ya.
Some little yola.
Little mishi.
What's the song?
What do you want?
Dim Franchise Boys.
I bet you care too, like me.
Oh, are they Young Twins from Atlanta?
Young Twins.
What are they doing now?
Are they working at Walgreens or something now?
I don't know what they're doing.
Marie, can you do it?
Because you know I ain't got no data.
The Yang Twins have multiple lives, it feels like.
I feel like a lot of people come out of Atlanta, drop that one hot song for the summer, and
then we never hear from them again.
But sometimes it takes a lot to get to that one hot song.
So we've been hearing these people for the longest.
Oh, y'all have been hearing them.
We just haven't been.
Yeah, so someone like the Yang Twins have a bunch of songs before From the Window to
the wall that like we
were listening to. So we were supposed to
I can't pull a song up my sister.
It was a different time. There wasn't
you know, it wasn't streaming. It wasn't like
now where like if you go viral
people could just find all your stuff
immediately. So
there's just some stuff that just got lost.
There's just some stuff that just didn't
make it out. Didn't get promoted.
Is Jaquan
Atlanta? He's St. Louis.
I'm just saying names of people that I haven't heard from in a long time.
okay let's go
you can't dance
to this
what is that
that's another
few butt pants
that is a terrible
dance move
have you never
seen people in
New York do it
I didn't know that
we do it all the time
we do it
Rob
are we doing it
that's a terrible dance move like that make that looks like you want to start a fight
that's what the song is you know what if you brought me what just caught on to that
okay well we probably gonna have to wrap this up yes we do before we go do you have like a
grit recipe that you can share?
Because I feel like grits are big in Atlanta.
I don't know what's up because I
feel like I didn't have to do as much
work to grits in Atlanta
that I do up here. I don't know what's up.
It's something in the water.
I feel like in Atlanta where you guys just have
like a little butter, a little sugar.
They got that apple butter. They have butter and sugar
and that's it. Apple butter is like sweet.
You don't put that in grits. Some people put
sweet stuff in their grits. Yeah, some people put like honey.
All right.
He's like, we're doing it wrong. You know what I'm saying?
I thought I was an expert, but clearly I should be quizzing y'all.
No, no, no, no, no.
