And this season, I'm digging into the tech stories we weren't told.

Starting with Stacey Spikes, the black founder of Movie Pass, who got pushed out of the company he built. Everybody's trying to knock you down, and it's not going to work, and no one's going to like it. And boom, it's everywhere. And that was that moment. Listen if there are no girls on the internet on the IHurt Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Do you remember Vine?

It changed the internet forever. And it vanished in its prime. I'm Benedict Townsend, and this is Vine, six seconds that changed the world. The untold story of genius, betrayal, and the app that died so that TikTok could thrive. From overnight stars to the fall that no one saw coming, we're breaking down what made Vine. iconic listen to vine on the iHeart radio app apple podcasts or wherever you listen to podcasts hey man welcome back to the 85 sapsion we are live here at the twenty twenty four b t awards carlos miller my man the shift leader nav green and we are in here with none other than

q b1 q b1 cam newton he did he did hell yeah what's been going on g man man i just trying to catch up to y'all must it, bro. You feel me? Y'all creating some great-ass content, bro, and y'all doing it y'all way. And I think from my world, having the ability to evolve and understand, like, oh, them motherfuckers, they doing it. They're talking about sports in a very unique, entertaining, impactful way. That's what I want to do, too. You know what I'm saying? I always do I come play football forever. So now transitioning into this, content space is something that it's always you know what i'm saying the page to learn from so bro every time i watch your show and you say something about like football the quarterbacks

or how you see it why why these motherfuckers get so upset like you ain't like you just talking out your ass like you're in an MVP like why these niggas feathers get so ruffle when you say these niggins is game managers and shit like that but you got to understand a little bit of all me was the talk of all sports. So it just empowers me to let me know that they're listening. So it don't matter because I did it at a high level. Yeah. You know what I'm saying?

And I just asked a question, did you? But needless to say. Absolutely. Well, when you were playing, you know what I'm saying, you had to hit a criticism, hit them, say, all that. And they couldn't do the shit, but you done did the shit. So you were able to speak on. Yeah, I mean, this is the thing, though.

A lot of times we talk about the person who's giving the tape and not just the tape. You know what I'm saying? Because I look at football a little different, not just like through the TV copy that everybody, man, why he do that or why he gets sick? He was sacked because he wasn't protected because he IDed the wrong person. That's his fault. Or the line didn't slide the right way. He should have seen a nickel or the safety rotating.

So the pressure, how obviously was coming from the right side, but he slid the line to the left. This is the only shit you would know if you was actually in the trenches and you had to go through that. But, you know, they always, they always think athletic quarterbacks are incapable of articulating the game from the neck up. So. Like you just run.

Let me ask you this. What are some of the observations you made about? about the game and sports in general since you stepped on the other side. Man, you know one thing is we've now taken the content so serious that we are now having to invest in real writers, real bloggers, real spaces where we can talk about it as much as we want to. Because I also give major props to the bar stools of the world, give major props to the pivot

give major props to all the smoke productions like these guys are doing is delivering sports in a way that we've never seen before because we've always consumed ESPN ESPN ESPN ESPN and ESPN Fox 2 you know what I'm saying but for us

we have a story to tell too coming from a person who's played it whether basketball, football, baseball, podcast, or owning our own production gives us the ability to control our narrative. Absolutely. So tell me this, Cam, like, because you're showing your personality.

Like, we saw that on the field. Like, you know what I mean? You would dance after you score and stuff like that. But, like, what got you into doing the podcast in general? Like, I'm just going to start. Honestly, the check wasn't adding up. and you know they kept low balling me and respectfully they still low balling me so it's like

what you don't want to pay for i can make that on on youtube you know what i'm saying and i see other deals getting done and i'm like how are we not getting that or why am i not getting that you can't say because i ain't got the resume right you see what i'm saying but somebody going to say oh look at you can you you too selfish it's about me me me well that's cool i can say a slogan right now that makes everybody understand where I'm coming from. I want to make content that appeases not only to Buckhead but also Bankhead. Atlanta talk. Come on, you feel me?

And you ain't got to be from Atlanta to understand that. So I make content for my kind. And if you don't want to hire me because I wear my hair the way I wear my hair, I wear a bowtile or I wear clothes the way I want to wear clothes, I never dressed or never did anything in my life to blend in. And I'm not making contact. to blend in. It's like,

yo, like listen to my content because you're going to get empowered, you're going to be entertained, and you're going to be informed. And I'm going to give you that the same way that ESPN is, or linear TV has done.

And it's not to say that I'll never do it. It's just like, I know what I'm worth. So if you're not willing to give me that, then would you, would you play ball again? If they called with the right situation, would you even want to do it?

But let's just be honest, though. football in four years i ain't getting no younger so i probably do this shit all the time they'll call tim couch and be like hey man yeah but that ain't cam new yeah cam i ain't gonna lie i i know you was at your uh you still got it though yeah yeah see how they you saw the blitz coming you know you he lost the step he lost the step no no look no i i i lost the step no i i Identified the mic real quick. We identifies and slid the whole

protection. You know what I'm saying? But now, man, you know, I think for us, bro, we got to do right by ourselves. You know what I'm saying? Because a lot of people was like, man, why are you even out there? It's like, bro, because when I grew up, I ain't see folks like that

that I could touch, that I could talk to, that I could just be like, yo, that's... And that motivates somebody like, man, Cam came back. For sure. Like, man, when I grew up in Atlanta and was playing football, middle school, Michael Vick was that nigger. And he was outside by himself. He was, he was that. So, but I ain't never seen Michael Vick around.

And it's not because of who he was. It was because I didn't have resources to him. Right, right, right. I ain't got to no goddamn Georgia don't want to watch a game. I did, but I was all the way. You don't know who that one. Shit, nothing can stop me. I was up there with them tickets.

You feel me? Yeah. But yeah, man, I just, I always wanted to render myself to my community and let them know. Like, bro, if I can do it, bro, you can do it. And you can't just say, but can't you know, bro? Hell no, because I did what I did to give hope to folks coming from where I've come from. Man, one thing I really respect about you, though, is like the way that you're approaching this and writing and creating your own narrative. Yeah.

And just not letting that be the end of the story. Like, that ain't the last you. You know, most motherfuckers, they step away from the game. You never see them again. But you actually out here and you're still active and you got a passion for something else. I mean, look at y'all, dicking. Like, bro, who would they ever thought a motherfucker would see three motherfuckers on the stage that's just improv jokes and just selling out aren't out aren't. And doing that.

And they all getting along. It ain't no family feuding. Yeah. like bro like we always have had a way to innovate you see I'm saying now with the way content is being distributed through platforms like Facebook Instagram TikTok as well as YouTube it's one of them situations that bro you don't you just got to be committed to that bro and at the end of the day you don't have nobody else to blame because I put like this when I grew up or shit

five years ago let alone 10 years ago who the fuck was a Kassanette Right Who the fuck was a Drewski Next level Respectfully So now I'm looking at Kassin Damn bro like how the fuck is he doing that

Druski how the hell is he doing that Motherfucking D.C. on fly Motherfucking Carlo Like all y'all motherfuckers bro I'm saying to myself like damn bro I have a lot and doing less witness

more. Motherfuckers that have less are doing more and they don't have nobody to blame but just they give it an opportunity. They got a camera. They got a laptop. They got a, and they're going crazy with it. So they're empowering even me just looking at it and it's something that

needs to be studied and also trying to be perfected as well. Man, that's hard. Yeah, that's a respect level for you to even say it's other people that can motivate you. Oh, yeah. That love. Because I know dog like you can get into a phase bro and i don't think i ever was there but it may it may or people tried

to paint the narrative like oh cam bitter or cam is about him he's selfish but it's like no if you really know me you know i'm the polar opposite i always try to show love i always try to learn and i'm not afraid to give people their props you know what i'm saying nor do i gate keep it's like bro anybody who listens i'm telling you bro if you got a camera if you got something bro do it and content comes in many different shapes and forms you don't just got to be the person that you're seeing right now you can be the person behind the scene editor you can be the writer you can be the editor and they're getting compensated at the all-time high now so what are you doing and this is on youtube university on syri institute on google uh uh college like bro like there's no reason

for you not to succeed because it's so accessible. My mama used to say boy, don't be a dummy with a smartphone. Hey. Now that's exactly what it is, bro. You don't have no excuse, man. You got everything you need to have, everything you want.

Yeah. For sure, though. We love your content, man. And then the stories that you be telling, like, even you were talking about with your dad and the grill and stuff like that, like it's just like, you know you ain't lying. You know what I'm saying.

See, this is the thing, though, bro. Like, I think football has done a lot of great things for me, financially, you know, giving me a lifestyle. But it also crippled me, too, because I played a mass sport, which if you don't know who certain players are, you'd be like, yeah, who the fuck is that? Right. Big buff-ass nigger right now. Super neck-ass, boy, that big-back-ass, boy. Heavy-legged ass. You know what I'm saying?

Like, all these different things where basketball players. players you know who the phone yeah you see their face yeah bro now everybody wearing face shields and fay like you don't know who that is you know what i'm saying not everybody's not lucky like tom brady Peyton manning you know i'm saying odell where he's like oh that's him right there he played football so now going into this round of content it's like bro you got to reinvent your whole self because people don't all know who the fuck you are yeah it's a hell A hell of a way to approach that, man. We can really sit here and talk this shit all day, bro.

We got to link back up when we get back to the city. The interview you did with D.C. He was dope as hell. Yeah, bro. I knew that because I always, you know what I'm saying, told. I know he was in a wave to, like, everybody, bro. It's like, it's not that you don't want to do it. It's just if your schedule.

And I was so excited because I know he got church roots. And I ain't afraid to tell people, like, I grew up in a church. I ain't one of these that's grown to do it. Man, they ain't had shit. growing up you know what i mean but it was one of them situations that i was like bro if you give me an opportunity to sit alongside with you bro i'm gonna do my best to tell your story and that's what i try to do with funky friday you know what i'm saying with not only just informing people but entertaining them as well right and then even with fourth and one obviously you know what i'm saying

a host as well peggy it's like they come for the sports but they stay for the story so when i'm talking about my grill when i'm talking about growing up in church when i'm talking about polo boots And when I'm talking about Jordans and certain things Polo Booz was a game too. Yeah, that don't even know how that was. Sure. Team clubs. Like, bro, for sure.

Like, nigga, I was there. Putting your jeans inside your damn polo. Wear slops. Even the buckle undone. Yeah. Making all that damn nuts. You ain't sticking up on no damn body. They're saying, wearing that curve.
