I knew I wanted to obey and submit,
but I didn't fully grasp for the rest of my life what that meant.
For My Heart Podcasts and Rococo Punch,
this is The Turning, River Road.
In the woods of Minnesota,
a cult leader married himself to 10 girls
and forced them into a secret life of abuse.
But in 2014, the youngest escaped.

It was.
It was pandemon.
They were playing that whole album at the book.
Oh, no.
Man.
Yeah.
Ooh, that's spectacular right there.
That's spectacular.
I use on your timbling shit right here, huh?
On my J-O's.
Oh.
Oh.
I might have to get Jaquix on this motherfucker.
I need the king of R&B on that motherfucker.
Oh, I put Jaquix on that motherfucker.
Oh, fucking, boy.
He got the little woo, he got the little ghost in there.
I put, I put Lotto, Jaquise.
You always put the clinked the group together.
I want, motherfucker.
So, I want them to come to fruition.
We got the studio in there and need to happen.
I know.
I want, but see, I want Lotto and 21 Savage on there.
And I want motherfucking jacquise on the hook.
I can hear that.
And what about putting bun on it?
And I see just this sprinkles some goddamn,
now that'll go crazy.
Now if I was gonna make this some Texas shit,
I put, uh, I put Paul Wall on that bitch.
Okay, mm-hmm.
I put little Kiki on them most definitely.
Come on.
Come on.
I put Slim Thub.
Got to put the zero.
Bun B.
And then I'm gonna let sauce walking and the shit off.
Oh way.
Man, let me tell you something.
And we talk about Texas, just Houston.
I ain't talking about Texas, just Houston artists alone.
They could put together a pretty strong tour
with just H-Town artists.
I take it a step further.
They can do a strong tour or just chopped and screwed music.
Don't know by their own the rights to it, though.
They wouldn't do it.
Because it's got to be screwed to be chopped and screwed.
It'll take too long.
Oh yeah, it'll be long.
That'd be three songs.
It'd be, hey, y'all can do two songs.
Niggins do.
And that's just getting us down to a day and a half of a concert.
They could play something in between sets, but then...
People would go.
So at the Houston rodeo, when Bunn took over the rodeo
and did the concert for the rodeo, Black Heritage Day,
he brought out everybody.
And it was insane.
It was insane.
It was crazy.
Oh, man.
But wait a minute, so from my understanding, y'all go to the rodeo.
And he was-
Rodeo big.
Rodeo is some, the black people would fuck with the rodeo.
You gotcha.
That's just being in the city.
It's two weeks.
It's almost three weeks of money and fun.
Right.
This is more than just, I think when business is black,
our business, because our business is generated by
Whatever we think is, whatever we say is going, is going.
You know what I'm saying?
If we jumped off of anything,
or we stopped messing with anything,
then it doesn't continue on until, you know,
they got around it.
You know, but if it's popular culture,
it's something that moves to need of where
everybody's socializing.
Like, Templin wouldn't have been as big as it is,
you know, even backwards, or even with anything we're doing,
doing. Anything we're doing
you know, drives
a certain
you know, economy.
Yeah. You know,
and it
triples it. So the thing that
I
try to
get an understanding of, if we know that,
if we know that,
collectively, how do we
move those pockets
of income,
not to just
crippled businesses but to build our our own in those spaces right you know
anything that we say cool it's cool you know but sometimes we just don't
understand the power of that moving of of parts and it can happen at any
moment we've made everything fucking go make everything go we decide something
jumping you put out a song and we don't and we don't like it we shouldn't even
publicly say we don't like it we should just act like we like it and then let
this black man get his money but that's how other cultures do you sing how these
other cultures do they just let everybody rock you don't know who the fuck is the
worst Spanish stinger you don't know yeah you damn don't know we don't know
we don't know who terrible except the niggas we don't like yeah we don't
know we should we should support everybody black yes sir we do that though
on certain cases, we'll be like, hey, man,
that shit was good, but we're not gonna say nothing.
Cause it'd be somebody we fuck with,
like somebody we fuck with might do something
and that shit wasn't hitting,
but we ain't gonna bash it
because we fuck with, we gonna be like,
hey man, that shit,
but once we talk amongst ourselves,
but I'm saying the other coaches
let all they let all their shit slabs.
So why, did you have been in the city,
most of y'all have been in the city
and y'all ride by something,
y'all just have to be riding from the club
or ride to the club and you see this big,
big arena.
You're like, man, who over there?
And then you look up there, this La Cruz Tejano band,
you know what I'm saying?
And that joan is rammed.
You're like, who is it?
Who is it?
You don't know who that is.
And they go in there and they getting it,
you know what I'm saying?
And they're getting it.
And the people are going to support them.
Right.
They're going to support them.
So I think.
I think that me and me and my man was talking,
Clay was talking, we, it's the thing about what I was saying
about how we start to be in this competition
with each other about who is this and who is that
when we're all not even doing the same thing.
Right.
We're in the same business, not doing the same thing.
We don't look at things like NFL owners.
The NFL owners, if our mentality was like theirs,
they let other people do all that battling.
Who your favorite team?
Pittsburgh, the bills, and they,
and y'all burning each other's jerseys
and y'all, but that you bought.
Meanwhile, they're on vacation with each other.
Discussing.
Talking how we gonna get this money.
Hey man, what's the new jersey gonna look like?
Right.
Who did y'all shit?
Yeah.
No, they got, everybody getting the brazen.
We rocked with 90, we ain't rocked with Nike this year?
Not for the next four years.
So, well, hey, man, they gonna burn shit out this jersey.
I don't like him.
It's flammler.
That's what they don't know.
It's flammling.
We know we're gonna trade them.
Hey, man, look, I'm gonna' like,
hey man, let me tell you something.
He'll be mad.
The motherfucker, when you put that ugly and color on.
They're gonna talk about this shit.
They're still getting this money together.
Right.
People don't realize they in each other's skyboxes.
That's the bigger picture.
You realize they in each other.
Hey man, I got a whole nice ass skybox for you when you come
because I don't want to be next to you when I win.
I'm saying, I'm gonna put this shit all in your face.
You know what I'm saying?
Mike grab your wife, tip.
I told Carolyn last time.
Don't go on here.
Keep over there.
I came over here to say hi.
You know what, why everybody else is at war,
right.
They can do with each other.
Right.
And it's so obvious now.
In your face.
Yeah, they used to hide that shit.
Now we know that this shit is just a game to them.
That's people be giving the fuck, but they don't.
They trade players, teams, like you said, wives, shit.
You know.
The game is the game.
The power of our influence.
Even when you are incarcerated.
You're incarcerated.
To watch people jump off into East Coast, West Coast beef that's been in, think you've been
here for at least five years, you don't even know what, you ain't heard none of the music,
niggins.
But how did you get into this, what, who told you about it?
Something to do.
And now, it's just in prison, East Coast, West Coast, niggins, all gonging over niggins and
they ain't never heard rap before.
I had no dog in the fight between.
bigie and pot because I just heard I was locked up when both of them came out this
thing was a digital underground when I left I didn't know this thing as pot
this thing is a digital underground when I left yeah yeah so you didn't see yeah okay
you know what I ain't see him like like I'm a fan I'm I'm already who I am he's a he's a he's
with a group yeah we in the elevator at a rap with me like what's up some niggis
And then I go, this thing, boom, this nigga big.
Big ear, all these things, I ain't seen none of these niggas.
I thought they were jamming.
So I'm not, I'm not beefing with you, niggas,
because you like this niggas song,
but because with McAvelli come on,
this whole, this whole block, nigger go crazy.
When McAvelli come on,
soon as anybody turn that radio up,
and you get,
ooh, this, bachone, this whole,
I think of this whole, well, let me tell you.
I think that's one of the most memorable times I ever had.
And I had a lot of memorable times being there for six years.
But that day, that nigger had that big, that big speaker,
and that mechaville came on.
And I remember I was cleaning my floor.
And I said, man, what the fuck?
And this whole block, the whole block was rock.
Even the Mexicans was, I was like, boy, this mama could jamming.

We're about to talk about all of that, man.
None other than the world famous, world renown.
Ali Sadie.
Good, man.
What happened?
You deserve all.
My brother.
You deserve all.
Man, it's always a pleasure.
Oh, man.
How to hell you been first.
Oh, man.
And I've been good, man, a little tired, you know, on the road
doing press and running around, um, doing shows,
getting ready for Domino Effect 3 and 4.
So, you know, just running around, man.
running around man you know you're lining them up he's lining them up man uh the name is so accurate
because you lining them up like domino yes sir yes sir that's going crazy man yes sir that's going
crazy how that feel though the first two because i feel like i talked to you and you you don't say
what you about to do but you'll hint at what you where you want shit to go and yeah man man
is coming together. I say it like that, you know, when you, um, when you focus on what
you're really trying to do and you, and you dedicated to it. Like, anything that you're
dedicated to doing, you're going to achieve it. Like, I tell, I tell people you, if you,
especially with these kids when I be talking to them and they're doing all this bad stuff
and in trouble, as dedicated to, as you are to getting in trouble, if you was dedicated to doing
something else we wouldn't be talking right now you know so my or at least not
talking about that with comedy it's this I'm just focused on what I want to do
I'm not running nobody else's race and that's the that's the the best thing
and some people got to remind me and and they excited about it because it's
giving them a different type of look into the craft you know you know you're
trying to keep the actual craft of
the art that we do.
Yeah.
Man, let me say this, as somebody who've been knowing you for, you know,
a long period of time in this comedy game.
And Clayton to tell you, it looked like you back having fun with it again.
I am.
Yeah.
This is this, it's like, man, you know how when you start jogging,
the first time you start, man, them first weeks are terrible.
You like, I hate this shit.
Right.
But then you look forward to going.
Man, now I look forward to doing the show now.
I look forward to the next special
because it's not even about it's finishing the project now.
It's not two was, two was, one was the,
was the, hey man, let me stop all this noise about what I am
or what I'm not, you know, and then two was like a challenge
because people asked, it's like, hey man,
you're going to finish the story.
I'm like, what?
It's like, we want to hear the rest of the store.
Yeah.
So I did it.
And it's, I don't even like, I don't even want to say how I did it,
but to do another special, to drop another special, like,
to write back off of the first one.
And I know people, like, people was honest, you know,
a lot of my friends was honest.
They was like, hey, man, I ain't on a lot of fam.
When I heard you to drop another special,
Like, man, this shit gonna be watered down.
I said, you thought that?
Like, yeah, because it was too soon.
Yeah.
And then you wasn't running it.
Like, I didn't run this special.
Like, Domino Effect 2, I ran it Friday
the first show.
I didn't run it the second show.
And then we recorded it Saturday.
And what we recorded is what people see.
I didn't work on it for a year.
I wasn't out doing the thing.
That's a piece that I did from here.
Yeah.
That wasn't, you won't find one,
the only thing you'll find written down
about Domino Effect, too, is the name.
The name, we toy it with the name,
Domino Effect 2, we tore it with loss.
I spelled Lost every way you could possibly spell it.
And Eric Abram, a big shout out to him.
He called me, and he was like,
yo man, we got to spell it both ways.
So when it comes on, you'll see a spell with S-S
and then you'll see it spell with S-T.
And the T isn't red, so it'll be noticed
that one of the S's is missing
because loss has two different definitions.
In the special, I didn't just lose the things that I lost.
Because I was losing these things,
I lost sight of who I was.
That was the other layer to it.

Historically, men talk too much.

If you like witty women, then this is your tribes.
With guests like Corinne Steffens.
I'd never seen so many women protect predatory men.
And then me too happened.

Problem.
My oldest daughter, her first day in ninth grade,
and I called to ask how I was going.
She was like, oh, dad, all they were doing was talking about your thing in class.
I ruined my baby's first.
First day of high school.

What made you say you lost sight of who you were?
Oh, I was tripping.
And what else?
Like, I went from happy to be back being a good kid.
Hey, man, I can chill, be a good kid.
Then, niggins shoebox started getting low.
Then I'm back out with this.
And I could have just said, hey, man, my mama got a job.
That's the whole thing.
My mama got a job.
I don't need none of this shit that I'm thinking I need.
I don't have to do nothing.
Handsight.
You started trying to get to fit.
Then you got to be used to it.
and to keep it going.
For no reason, no.
You know what I'm saying?
It's this, it's this want for things that you don't need
and people don't realize until they're in tragedy.
You shouldn't have to be in tragedy
to know that you don't need all of these things.
It's other things that you can do
and accumulate and acquire and do with this overexcess that you're doing.
Yeah.
And nobody's saying you're not to have.
it but you we didn't got into this thing of gluttony and so when you get into
gluttony you got to see where this comes from yeah American American black
people have become more white than black just in their behavior so it's a
book called the um the ice the ice man
inheritance. If you look in this book and you read this book it talks about how
ice men the cave man were versus the island man when you go in on vacation
where you go on vacation to you go on vacation to Alaska yeah no vacation in
Antarctica no no vacation in the cold place tropical so when you in Jamaica and
you in Mexico and you and all these tropical places what's you
your demeanor. Think about your demeanor. How y'all, how you act. You're talking to people
that you don't even know. You're saying. You're having fun. You're drunk. You just, you're just outliving
your life. The fences down. You're buying drinks for people. Hey, Ricky, you don't even know that man.
Right. He's saying. His wife spoke to your wife. His wife spoke to your guy. Now, y'all, you're in there. You
doing calypso that you just living like you eating shit that you ain't never ate hey man
give me some tomatoes and put some crepes on it what was that what was that I had last night
that the man said you just living your life and you and you're going into the world and you're in
the sun and you just living you all need to buy anything somebody come by amen what drink is that
this is the only time you ever said this is on vacation to a strange person amen what drink is that
It's a fucking taste it.
And you let this man take your, put your straw in your drink.
He never did this in no well.
But on vacation.
When you out in the tropics living your life,
you don't have this gluttonous mentality.
You have a harmonious mentality.
So then you get out of that,
you have this other thing where you become savage
and you got a, you got to take it.
and pillage and gather and I gotta, that's the ice,
that's an ice man's mentality,
because where they were, it wasn't a lot of food.
I gotta kill you of a potato.
You, you, I got to, when any,
I got to come take what you got.
I got to watch, if you get, I'm still over here doing mine,
but if you get something, I gotta come take.
It's this, this barbaric mentality
that we have started to develop
each other.
I'm saying?
So we're not harmonious with one another like we should be.
And when you are, this is what happens.
Y'all what happens when you harmonious?
Right.
You know what I'm saying?
So when you had each other's throat, you can only become more savage.
And we're not a savage person by nature.
Yeah, I'm more of a tropical nigger myself.
nigga myself.
I'm a harmonious nigga.
That's why Bone Thugs and Harmony work, nigga.
They could have just been bone thugs and killers.
But them niggas do that in harmony, nigga.
They was together with what they were doing.
That shit real.
That shit real.
And I don't think a lot of the shit that we do that they have put on us,
talk about it's our culture.
That's their shit.
Yeah.
That gangster shit, that's them.
No deal and that was them selling them.
selling that's the thing about man when any time you put some black in some shit they
ain't gonna fuck with it they love their gangsters they just don't have no fucking respect for
yours but I would they gangsters get to transition into business oh they get to be icons pop
icons legends they get to be one of the founders and birth presidents and this is what I look at
how I look at our I we see their gang they gangsters so we don't see how the ganges
transformed into being Ford or some multimillion dot com.
George Bush.
We stayed here.
Them the gangsters, man.
We stay in the beginning of what they were doing.
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
So once you stay, if you stay in the beginning
and you never get to the finish nine,
you just got this mentality.
It's like my home girl, she'll show on the other side.
And I'll tell her, I'll say, hey man,
why you still dressing like we dressed in 85?
Why you can't, you don't want to come on up to right now?
I don't want to, we don't wear big clothes no more.
We ain't any no big shit no more.
She's like, she's like, that's not shit.
No, she's still trying to mimic what we were doing 85.
I don't want that thing.
I said, you're still trying to hide in the tennis, man.
It ain't gonna have gone slim to fit that shit out.
She said, nah.
I'm leaving them big ass clothes.
She's like, nah, I mean, I'm still cute.
When the last time, niggas just wearing timbrelous,
just because?
It ain't timbre than ceas.
Right.
I feel like it got to be snoring.
We got to see you.
Damn.
This is what I'm telling you.
I said, y'all can wear sandals, nigger.
I've seen it on the show.
I can wear sandals.
Yeah.
You gotta, can't stay in the beginning.
You got to increase with your shit.
Do you have to, though?
A little bit.
Why?
Just like y'all increased.
But that's what I'm, yeah, it comes eventually, but it don't change who you are.
Oh, not who you are.
You just still got to increase how you're doing it.
You can't do what you used to do.
Yeah.
Hell no.
And I didn't even have the appreciation for the shit I took for granted.
You know what's crazy?
If you go in the club and you in that club by yourself and some, you don't realize
there's some snake motherfuckers just in there waiting for you to stumble and step on their
toe.
And now you're in a loss.
And one way in one way out.
You got to step on somebody foot to get out this motherfucker.
Carlos had stumped my toe, my baby toe broke.
I need $500,000.
I need $500,000.
Right.
You stepped on their foot, their nose started bleeding.
How the fuck that happened?
They was ready with some bullshit.
It's all this?
Yeah.
People, I don't think people...
He knocked me to a siege.
...the safety.
I remember after the Domino Effect came out,
my agent called me and said,
hey, I don't...
It ain't my call,
but I would prefer you not to be in the hood no more.
I said, what?
I live in Houston, man.
I'm gonna be in my neighborhood.
Now, I come in town on the Sunday.
I go out.
I'm in my neighborhood.
I'm in third war.
And go out.
I'm at this club.
This dude come through
and he just bulldozing through.
First time, I step out the way.
Second time, come through.
I say he must, in my mind, I say he must work here.
He's like a busboy or something.
Because he coming through here with, like,
with no regard, no excuse me, nothing.
I say he must, you know,
and I noticed, I said, nah, this nigga dressed
like everybody else, this ain't a bus boy.
I'm sitting there.
He come through again.
I'm through again.
I'm standing out, talk with somebody.
So he brushed me, and I say, come on, bro, what you doing?
He turned around.
I said, excuse me.
I said, no, you ain't say nothing, fam.
You say nothing.
You say nothing.
Nick, you got to fight me now.
As soon as he said it, I put my hands behind my back.
I said, I got to do what?
I ain't got to do nothing, but if,
You want to, we can.
His cop pulled him to the side.
My hand still behind my back, and he's doing all this
reckoning.
He said, hey man, you ain't going to win that one for him.
Oh, this thing got to come outside.
And I said, just like this, I'm going to go use the restroom
and I'm going to be right out there.
Because my truck is in the valet, so I got to come out there.
So just know, I am coming that way.
get up get right out there he gone but in my mind why I ain't going through all that
I'm going to eat the restaurant right I'm going to get my truck if he out there
whatever he got to say we we outside and in my mind you know what's saying in my
mind Joe saying I would prefer right that you not be in the hood

Especially when I'm in Cincinnati
You want to be virtual, you want to be so after the show, you know what?

Now what were you doing in the hood?
I once wanted to go to the spot and just, you know, it's a club.
I mean, we're in there, you know.
You know, people in there chilling, man.
I want to chill sometime too.
Oh, hell no.
But I don't want to get pushed while I'm chilling, but I want to, I don't want to go out
with a bunch of people.
I want to be able to go out.
But I just think that we're supposed to be good.
what people look like us.
Yeah.
You're supposed to be, like, man,
it's supposed to be
an admiration
when we see each other.
It don't work on everybody.
Everybody can't subscribe to that.
I don't, but why not, though?
Because everybody can, if you can subscribe-
They're on their bullshit.
Because if you can subscribe to the bullshit,
why you can't subscribe to the good shit
because you wasn't raised,
did nobody raise their child?
Everybody don't have the same thing.
capacity. Some motherfuckers is just not able to function on that level.
You know why I say that's not the truth? Because being incarcerated, looking at
niggas who all of a sudden can act right. All of a sudden can act right.
I have no choice. Like I told a nigga, hey man, talk to me the same way you talk to that
judge I don't want to have to struggle to hear you when we talk because when you
in front of that judge and you ain't you ain't saying no overstud and all this
other bullshit you talking proper excuse me what it was going you think you you can
get that shit together fast right right you're stupid just like this when you get
inside when you get inside let me tell you what's crazy when you get inside these
same unruly-ass motherfuckers who say they can't get it together.
All this animosity gets everybody.
You cannot do that inside because now everything gets put in proper place.
Put in proper place.
You ain't going over there saying nothing out of line to nobody over there that's Hispanic.
And you know goddamn well you're not.
You know, I, we'll go over there and say something to me.
Yeah.
Go over there and sit there and watch your ass
watch they cut your ass into 70 pieces
while you try to turn around and walk back this way.
Go over there and say something to Lowe's.
With all them niggas over there from Mississippi
sitting over there, go on over there, say something.
Right.
Go on over there.
But for some reason,
you can subscribe to your environment.
Because once you take people out,
that environment they look crazy being the only one doing it you know how crazy
look you like you when you're the only one in the conversation and somebody
hate on somebody that everybody like you look you look crazy no matter if you
if you hate it but not you got to you got to internalize that shit because you
look crazy because there's 50 people here every it's like going to a jZ
concert everybody loves jZ and you in there booing and you look crazy
Now, boo!
You gotta wait till the shit is cut down.
You gotta wait till this quiet, the booed, man.
But that's the way the world work, though.
That's the way, but that's the way America works.
Because in a lot of other worlds, it don't work like that.
It's places where you can't even,
you'll go to jail for saying something insulting
about somebody.
Yeah.
Because it's unproven.
Carlos did this.
Put him in jail until we find out further investigation.
Nigga, ain't nobody risking that.
I'm not risking, I don't give a damn how mad I am at you.
I'm not risking going to jail saying something in public,
ridiculing you in public, because I'm mad at you.
That lady that yelled at them people in Dubai didn't they lock up?
Yeah, get your ass to jail.
So we don't talk like, you don't talk to people like that over here.
And you're gonna subscribe.
Just like you went over there to Dubai
and you got on that camel and you put that hijab on and all that.
You like doing that part, but you don't want to do the,
you don't want to pay the rules.
I don't know, you don't come over here and steal nothing.
Give me that hand.
What she said.
Give me that hand.
I thought people learned when that white boy,
because black people were tripping.
Remember when they did that white boy in Singapore?
Whipped his ass in front of everybody.
With bamboo.
With bamboo, I ain't even know you can get bamboo to whoop.
And them lashes wasn't, no, like this.
No, he was.
It was a hard step-pane down, like this, man.
He spun it around there.
He twirling in.
And he can't.
With that Donatello's shit.
With breath control.
He buzzed it, man, he let that shit go.
Oh, hey, whoa his shit out.
Went over there, spray painting them people's shit.
They said he passed out on the first one
and then woke up on the next one.
On the first one, he passed out,
now he back up.
Don't get up nothing.
Go, go back to me.
Yeah.
I feel what you're saying, though.
When motherfuckers think they play,
when they fucking think people playing with them,
they fucking play.
Right, right.
And when you see that shit, it's worked somewhere.
It's working.
everywhere else in the world besides in America.
Because America is not implementing the punishments
because the punishment is based upon capitalism.
Not up front.
Upon a capitalism though.
It's not a true.
When you implement punishments to better society
as a whole versus as cattle,
that's two different things.
The most important thing in prison is the count
to make sure that you're there.
Exactly.
So that's what I'm saying.
That's the consequence.
And not to better.
Whooping your ass.
They rush rather get paid off you being there.
And then put you back out of society to do more damage.
Because they know the shit that they did the you and there
is going to make you come right back anyway.
It depends on who you are.
And now what happens, it depends on who you are and what happens.
And what happens is some of these people, man,
it's all type of weird shit going on in prison where these dudes be,
because they don't want to work.
They play like they're crazy.
And they'll be on this medication.
So you may have been on a psych unit for six months.
Slobbing, he was saying trying to avoid going to work.
Now you got this medication in your system that you didn't need.
You got to keep taking that shit.
Now you back in the world, now you can't.
And even get it.
No, you can't get it.
Lost it.
And was that prison or was that you running some game?
Now you fucked.
Or, nigga, nigger bust your head open.
Hey, man, how you get your shit fucked up?
Like that.
Because you went in there and you stole Carlos' radio.
Playing crazy?
Or just...
No, you went in there and stole his radio.
Because he had to sell here in the field.
You went and stole something like that man's sale.
Because you still customly what you are, a thief.
And then people then put that thing on you and say, hey man, that boy stole your radio.
We gonna collect that radio.
And they're gonna issue that punishment on that boy.
Now what that punishment may turn into,
may be something, or you may just happen to be in a riot.
Ain't got shit to do with you.
You just happen to be in it.
You defending yourself.
Shit go wild.
Now you're in there for a life sentence, man.
You came in there with four years.
Now you got life sentence, man.
You psychologically damaged with that, you know?
That's just what, something just happens.
It's not a, prison is not a place that you just automatically just come on from.
You can just control, you can't control the environment.
You can't control the vibe.
Or you say you're locked up, there ain't nothing going wrong.
You're just doing your time.
And you ain't never dealt with this before,
like with the special, you ain't never dealt with loss.
And while you're inside, your mama passed.
Right.
Your dad passed, your grandmother passed,
whoever close to you, your child passed.
And you go into the funeral and handcuffs,
but you got to come back to this reality,
and deal with it from this space.
That's rugged for some, that's rugged for some people.
You know, they can't really cope with that,
especially if you were in their young.
How you think that shit affected you?
You know, for six years, like you said,
that's a nice stretch of time.
That's a long time, actually.
In civilian time.
Yeah, almost four years to a decade.
So.
It affected me in certain ways of how I don't, I don't, I'm not like space.
I need, I need space.
It was a lot of psychological things with me.
Like, I am a, very, got a lot of strategy to everything that I do.
Because, and now you got a.
have strategy because you, you're playing against a lot of teams at one time.
I'm saying? So you got the guards.
Then you have upper administration.
I'm saying? Then you have the white boys. You have the Hispanics.
I'm saying, which is five different families of them, two different families of white boys.
Then you have your people that may have something internal,
with city to city.
I'm in Texas, so it was Dallas and Houston had their thing.
And then internally within Houston,
north side, south side had their thing,
which I'm not a part,
which I wouldn't, a part of it because I was southwest.
I'm saying, which is, you know, a mountain part of everybody.
But then your people may be from south side.
So you had those internal things.
How you navigate those things is constantly trying
to pull people together.
My hardest thing was forcing Carlos not to be Carlos no more.
They got Carlos in jail.
Because it's a transition.
When I first get there, my first two years,
I'm a wild man.
I'm making, this is a statement year.
Anybody talking about anything, let's get it popping.
And then you go to a unit unit in some old heads,
look at you
and they don't look at you
as a
I'm just going to just
tell him as a
random person
now they look at you as a target
like hey
we need to get him
under control
not because he's wilding
because they really listen to this little
nigga and they really listen
to him right so we can get him
to stop scrapping
and get him to understand why that's not how you do your time,
then he'll tell them.
Because they ain't listening to us.
They got to listen to somebody that looked like them.
So it's easy for me to be scrapped.
I'm on the basketball court.
And that's where most of the fights started.
I'm throwing the ball at niggas and tripping and it wasn't.
That's bad.
Hack it.
You know, hey, man, you undercut me, baby.
It's on.
It's like getting up swinging.
So this dude named Blacksham, man, from Third Ward.
I never forget, Blackshould hollered to me.
He said, man, let me hollet you, man.
What's up?
Now, I'm straight on guard.
What's up?
Man, you can, bro, I come in peace, my brother.
I just want to holl at you, man.
Everybody I already know you can fight, man.
I said, huh?
Everybody already know you can fight.
Everybody.
Everybody on this unit know that you can fight.
You keep letting that one incident trigger everything about you.
But now you just out here reacting.
You don't respond.
You just a responder.
Out here just responding, you don't, you know, how are you doing your thing?
It's, ah, soon as something happened, because you thinking they, it's, you thinking it's that thing.
When I got to that unit, I'm coming off the block, and this dude said, hey, man, what's up on you?
Nigel right from there, call them.
It was my uncle.
Hey, man, any of them they ever ask you, what's up on you going their goddamn mouth?
But they mean, what's up on you?
And then it's been like that, I'm talking about from jump.
They don't say nothing to me, nigga.
Did you ask everybody else in line, what's up on them?
Yeah.
And from that point on, they know you can fight.
Ain't everybody trying you, Nick.
That was his first conversation.
Second conversation, you're going to be a boxer when you get out.
Nah, why, nigga?
Because you still...
I'm on that basketball court.
He said, man, basketball court control you.
Get your ain't out of the basketball court.
Got off the court.
I've been playing chess since I was six.
I'm in the side playing chess, coming to the rec yard, playing chess.
I noticed I ain't had no fights.
I've had arguments on the chess board.
Still no fight.
different caliber or argument, different type of argument.
Argument.
Argument is that, but it's not what's happening on the court.
So I started to look at that and start conditioning my mind to, hey man, what else do I need to change?
This is about changing surroundings.
Even though I'm locked up, this is about changing my surroundings even in this area.
I'm still on the same rec yard.
I'm on the same unit.
I'm on the same rec yard.
It's the same people out here.
What's happening is I'm over here playing chess.
I'm not over there doing this.
When I want to play ball, I come in and shoot around early,
or I play in the tournament.
So going back to how we adjust to the hood.
just to the hood with our neighborhoods.
With our neighborhoods is this.
We go to other people's neighborhoods
and eat $18 salads and order sea bass
and you know, my Scott,
you all this and other people,
and take pictures of it and send it back and put on this way.
Mike Greve that sea baths from time to time.
That sea bag, if it's on the menu, I'm usually,
Chilean, it don't matter.
It really don't matter.
As long as it came from AC, I will.
See, there he go.
They ask me, please.
You know what they come.
He's a Chilean Sebastian.
You know what I, hey man, hey man, Sebastian Seabeds.
Hey man, that's, that's, that, if you ask my son right now.
I don't spend it, I don't spend this, it's about 42.
He's going to ask for the sea bass.
He don't eat catfish.
He gonna tell you, man, I don't eat catfish, man.
My son asked for crab cakes the other day.
He too, I don't know what's going on.
What that roasted octopus salad do?
This ain't mine.
This ain't mine.
I'm talking about it and said, and pull the menu down
and said, excuse me, ma'am.
How is the roasted octopus salad?
Never mind.
And I said, and I said,
and I said, damn, I'm still trying to get
my calamari fried hard.
I'm not, this thing, this thing is somebody.
Roasted ice.
Hey, do y'all fry that calamari hard?
Right.
I want to be crispy like chips.
Y'all ain't got bougie, man.
Hey, man, that's the-
But the thing is this,
I don't want to go somewhere else and do that.
I want to do that in my own neighborhood.
We need to see that over with you.
And people can't say it can't happen like that
because this, that's the renaissance of how we had it.
We didn't venture to other people's neighborhoods.
We had all this fine upscale, everything
in our own neighborhood.
I wasn't going to eat an $18 salad over there.
I'm going to eat Ms. Merrill's $18 salad
with a tablecloth and all this fine-dye
and the band and all that.
I got places in the neighborhood
to take my family out to it.
We gotta get it.
That's what I'm doing.
We gotta get it.
And that's the thing, it can't happen
because the hood shouldn't look bad.
Because everybody has a hood.
It's just short for neighborhood.
Our shouldn't look bad.
And let me tell you why it shouldn't look bad.
That's anybody's ever been incarcerated, which is the worst place.
This is a filthy place.
The main thing that every person try to do that civilizing there is trying to make sure their cell is clean even in this filthy-ass place.
So in the neighborhood, your areas should be clean.
It shouldn't be a filthy place.
Because why do we only have the only filthy neighborhoods?
Okay, you saw the thing they said about the, uh, what is it, the eminent domain?
As far as the, you know, the abandoned buildings, how they buy them and never sell them and hold it and keep that looking back.
But you're just saying what you can take care of.
Which, what you already have.
Right, right.
It's like in your, in, in your house, you got a closet.
The closet is not functioning as well as it should because you got two, you got two.
too much stuff what you do do you just you're gonna you gonna find hey man
call them on California closet people man coming in and see what they can what
they can do with this you gonna bring somebody in there to take this same space
and restructure this same space now them same 60 pair of shoes that you'd
had no place for with you they all in the day all line at the top and they didn't
took and they didn't took the boxes away and put these clip in there now you can see
You got this bar that you hang your clothes on when you come when you come from the dry cleaners until you sort them out
You know what I'm saying you got got a right you got all type you got a sliding door you got all type of shit in here now in this same space
That you feel what you're saying that you came in and you utilize something else you know you fix cars the type of shit you do to a car that car wouldn't like that at first
Never never
Hey look and you look at that car that car you get that car this is a
Whether it's ragged or whatever
You look at this car and you say,
and man, what we're gonna do,
we're gonna strip, let's strip it all the way down.
And man, we're gonna put,
let me look at these books.
Let me look through this book.
And you go through the whole process.
Yeah.
So you take that same ideology
with your neighborhood, you know,
and you put the things in there, man.
I just feel like they gotta see us
to stop things.
thinking that there's no success,
because we come from success.
Because you said that shit,
I do want some lemon pepper sea bass.
Yes.
That shit would be crazy.
And there is it.
I ain't never really had it well-seasoned.
Hey, man.
Like, seabass is just good by itself.
I ain't never had it, like, actually seasoned.
You know what I grew up on?
This is why you say you got to change yourself.
You know what fish I grew up on?
Buffalo.
What is it there?
Yeah.
Yeah, buffalo.
That's the creek fish.
Yeah, and it was served with a half a loaf of bread.
They give you two pieces of buffalo
and they give you this much bread.
This is how, your grandma gonna reach in that load
and give you this much because she got to
because it is a, it is a bone, that's a bone.
Oh, it's boned.
In every piece of buffalo.
It's a boned fish.
The bone got bone.
And you're gonna choke.
So bread.
Watch it down, get that shit down.
Yeah, yeah.
I grew up in buffalo.
When I had been a surgeon,
This is great when you do this.
I ain't choking out one time.
You didn't want to say that after you finished eating something.
You giving me flesh, man.
Ah, don't get that baby, don't get that baby no fish.
That fish got bones in.
Don't get that baby now that fish.
We got some bones in.
We got some more coming in.
Don't get that baby down that fish.
I don't move no bones.
Make sure that kids don't get that fish got bones in.
That purse might have some shit in it.
Now, Perch, you straight.
I mean, you look, that buffalo, if you had claust their Mississippi,
Or you in Alexander, Louisiana, you're gonna get that buffalo.
Buffalo.
We got all that shit.
Loud crapper, I remember that shit.
I don't want no shit with the tail.
Don't give me my shit with the tail.
Man, I grew up eating the whole fried fish, the whole fish fried, eyes, everything.
I'm saying, now I still like my fish, like that.
I season that, slice up, season, and fry like that at the crib.
But if I'm out, if you out right now and you take, you take, you're going to take somebody out.
you're not nothing in the neighborhood where you're going and most and that's in
most blair is you didn't you're not having a big what we ain't man we're all going
even the car we having a business meeting come meet me at at the fine at the at the
spot in the neighborhood to discuss if we're gonna sit down and have I got to
you got to invite me to now we at P. F. chain or something somewhere like in a
franchise or some other place in somebody else's neighborhood
Why don't we have that rejuvenation
and that spirit of rejuvenating
and changing the spaces that we already have acquired?
Don't worry, we're on the way with ours.
I'm gonna do my part.
Gotta do it.
I'm gonna do my part.
Shit.
It's a whole lot of money in the ghetto.
Shit, that's where it's where it's coming from.
He pulling the Ross on the land.
No, you know that?

If you like witty women, then this is your tribe.
With guests like Corinne Steffens.
I'd never seen so many women protect predatory men.
And then me too happened.
And then everybody else wanted to get pissed off
because the white said it was okay.
Problem.
My oldest daughter, her first day in ninth grade,
and I called to ask how I was going.
She was like, oh, dad, all they were doing was talking about your thing in class.
I ruined my baby's first day of high school.
And slumflower.
What turns me on is when a man sends me money.
Like, I feel the moisture between my legs when a man sends me money.
I'm like, oh my God, it's go time.
You actually sent it?

hey man welcome back today to find self-show talking good shit with ali sadik man he want to rebuild
a whole black community man i want to rebuild everything tell me your plan for it then how you see it
I see it happening.
I see it happening.
Yeah, what's the first step?
I'll start with abandoned buildings.
Okay.
Acquired abandoned buildings to turn abandoned buildings to epicenter.
For one abandoned building for already functioning people in education, medicine.
You know, you turn this building to everything that's needed.
First of all, you got to take that first step.
What is missing in the neighborhood?
Okay.
You know, take that first step, figure out what's missing.
And then inside this one abandoned building.
this one abandoned building, you start taking floors,
different floors, say if it's 10 floors.
You take two floors dedicated to one thing,
two other floors dedicated to another thing.
You know what I'm saying?
And these are how you build.
And you gotta have a lot of educated people
that's in the field.
Not people who are trying to get in the field,
but people who are already seriously educating
this field being able to know how to navigate people
in these fields to rapidly turn these people around.
and find people's interest.
I don't want you, I don't want to put you in engineering
and that's not your interest.
Okay, realistically, how many black people
you think we could say?
Realistically, and we really focus?
Yeah.
I think we can actually,
shit, new black people.
Oh no, I'm just saying about,
Just give me a number.
How many you think we can save?
If we're talking $5 billion, I'm going to say $4.
We got a lot of work to do then.
And we do, because I'm telling you, shit.
We got to start somewhere, man.
If you ever notice this, like people talk about customer service,
how bad customer service is, right?
But you really never have bad customer service at Chick-fil-A.
and then you then and they they go through they put you through this process yeah they got some good
ass you feel bad for telling them they fucked up that's how good they service so the thing is
those are the same i'm sorry i ain't tell you that i wanted some sauce but can i have one sure take three
that's how they get down that chick fillet oh man and they're fishing from the same pool of people
they're hiring from the same pool they're not it can get a little but it's never it's never
It can be a little hood, but it's never not polite.
It ain't never.
All fast food didn't get Rudy's here.
They used to be inviting this shit.
Yeah.
I feel like the same motherfucking for Papa has
working at your filet with act different.
Mm-hmm.
That's the thing, because of the culture.
It's got to be shown another way.
Why?
Because of the culture.
It's tolerated.
Anywhere you go,
when everybody's doing one thing properly,
you can't go to a UA, an AAU campus, a camp,
and still be playing streetball.
You're gonna start acclimating yourself
to what's going on.
But anytime you go to a restaurant
and like the people who work there,
like they ghetto and fucked up,
that just lets you know that the people
who running the shit ain't shit.
Management stealing, motherfuckers is over there,
not getting a raises, it's empty promises.
They ain't got enough chicken the last all goddamn day
on the Wednesday, you know Wednesday's chicken day.
The fuck, we eat taco Tuesday,
then we come in Wednesday.
So you say,
They don't even, but they know this shit.
So any time you go and they're like,
we ain't got no chicken.
Bitch, that's all y'all says.
It's a cry for hell.
And man, it starts, hey, it started at the top.
Who didn't order the chicken?
Exactly.
Who didn't order the chicken?
Chicken has just show up.
Hey man, it's a leg, it's Tuesday,
leg and thigh special.
Why the hell are we running out of legs and size?
If we don't sell shit else.
We backed up.
Why are we backed up?
Why is the line out here?
When I know, keep dropping legs and thighs
until Tuesday it's on.
Then the girl let the drive-thru still taking orders
for the shit we ain't got.
It's 10 boxes of chicken up here for legs and thighs,
and we ain't got a leg nor thigh.
Who you think gonna catch that heat?
The nigga in the kitchen.
What he gonna do?
Cuss the nigga out who putting the chicken in the box?
What he gonna do?
Cust the girl out who's taking the order?
What's she gonna do?
Slap the shit out the manager.
Then what's gonna happen?
She's about to get fired.
the manager about to be off.
So now they're down to two managers.
Now they're beefing because they both stealing.
One was stealing on the day ship.
One was stealing on the night shift.
It worked because they never worked together.
Now they're working together.
So can't nobody steal shit.
They had a stalemate.
And not the white people who own this motherfucker
thinking about shutting it down
and turn it into a monkey joe's.
This is how fast food restaurants fell.
Just dead fat.
Hey, if you take care of the people,
they act like the motherfuckers at the commercial.
Hey, man.
If you pay them people whatever to fuck
and let them off reasonable times,
like, motherfuckers act right.
You ever been to a place?
You're like, what the fuck going on?
Why are you?
You know how Chick-fil-Aid know they got good service?
Because they got people who's standing outside
and taking orders.
The motherfuckers who work at churches
won't come outside and take your order.
No, you know you got beef with them,
and you've been wanting to talk to somebody
face-to-face any fucking one.
The reason why you know they got good service is because their line will be long and you'll still get in it.
And it won't take long, right?
It's not going to take long.
They're not going to fuck up.
If I see that Popeye's line, I don't have 45 minutes for this shit.
No.
I don't.
There can be two cars in that motherfucker.
Yeah, I don't want to drive.
I don't know what you're waiting for.
Like, like, you need to know two orders ahead at Popeye's.
Like, what did they order?
Hey, man, why I got to drive up?
They ordered a 25 piece.
Fuck no.
No, I'm not, I'm leaving.
It ain't gonna be nothing left.
Yeah, man, I'm telling you.
It's crazy, man.
You only said one day.
Ah.
Well, go in a shoe store and try to get some shoes.
Boy, go over there.
Hey, man, you good?
See, that's why I'm about to stop eating fast food.
All the fast food I eat gonna be slow.
I'm gonna go inside and, man, look.
Self-cooked.
I don't give a fuck how long,
if I was gonna order in a drive-through
is gonna take forever.
Go and drop me.
Some chicken right now.
Because I don't want my chicken.
to be even touch the other chick.
Drop me a few pieces right now.
Put my shit straight in the box.
Yeah, I don't want none of this other foolishness
y'all got going on up here.
They're going to be so...
They'll be so disrespectful and mad at you.
Hey, babe.
How do you think we're making the chicken?
It's all made like that.
Uh-uh, because I'm one of them motherfuckers
who will look through that little window.
Uh-uh, uh-uh.
Start over.
You gotta pay extra.
You gotta throw them some extra.
I throw them some extra.
Okay.
You gotta, um, like when I want fries,
I order my fries in a certain way
if I'm gonna eat fries with McDonald's,
which I haven't eaten in a long time,
but I use- no salt.
No salt, make them now.
Make my shit now.
Yeah, because you put salt on them already.
Give me two salt packs and three pebbles packs.
Give me the salt on the side.
You, my salt on the side, bitch.
On my shit, sizzling out.
Yeah, I'm not stupid.
Yeah, we never were behind on fries.
At the McDonald's when I worked there.
We was never behind on quarter pounders,
When I was back there cooking, we were never behind.
So I already knew what to get ready for.
That's why I ain't, like, man, I'm making, man,
and you gotta already be ready.
You see what I'm saying?
Like, I worked at Burger King.
I'm probably gonna go down as one of the coldest niggas
that ever worked at Burger King.
Oh, I was the coldest, name.
Did you get fired or you?
No, I just graduated to bigger and better things.
I got five.
Damn.
Because...
You probably got a tour with some matter because you got...
What you're about to say?
Man, I was for... I was for Louris...
I'm Rubin's how it is!
I put Lairn's all on the people meet, man.
I was spicing people meet up, man.
Right there on Kirby, on Kirby and Belle L, man.
I mean, Kirkwood and Bellet, man, Mr. Redmond.
Mr. Redmond's McDonald's.
Man.
Man, we was making them.
You know, I'm cooking the meat, man.
I'm eating them.
Man, it's cold, but man, man.
I was bringing it from the highs, too.
I was coming from the house with that liar on that meat.
Oh.
I ain't never heard no shit, like that.
That shit was probably the best goddamn burger, motherfucker.
They got their own seasoning now, though, though.
Man, they got, that was when they had the Texas burger.
The Texas burger, it was really like a salt and pepper type of all-seasoning type of
But man, that was after me, though.
But I was liars, man, I was season-song those folks.
Because that's back then with all black folks,
you used to put liars, seasons on everything.
Man, oh.
That was an error.
Ooh, I'm going to get back with seasons.
But everybody else, everybody at work there was like,
man, this is live, boy.
But then, I don't know what happened.
I don't know how them boy.
I'm gonna try that shit.
I'm gonna buy some seasoning and be like,
hey, cook me one fresh and sprinkle a little bit of this on the.
Because it's on a grill, man.
A hamburger coming off a grill.
If you ever see,
McDonald's meat
is frozen, so you get these paddies.
You're laying all the patties out, right?
And when it's frying on one side, it just,
you know,
throw something on that when it flip,
so when it look,
man, it's just something about a grilled hamburger, man.
It got to be ripe.
You got to be right, man.
I'm back there.
Yeah, sprinkled me some.
Yeah.
How the fuck will we get to talking about fast food?
Burgas, man.
Service.
Like I was saying, when I was on them bitches,
and I was making, when I was on the line,
number gold standards coming through that bitch.
Yeah, for sure.
I'm talking about them bitches off the commercial.
You was making a whole burger.
You were making the whole burger.
Juicy.
All kinds of juices.
Man, man.
What that mean?
They got a broiler, right?
That bitch got a real fire, in it.
So it's like, these is real cookout, ground beef burgers
by the time they get out.
If you could ever get you one fresh,
on a fresh bun,
it's something the best shit
you ever had in your life.
It used to be.
Used to be.
No, when you...
It can't be no more.
When you back there cooking,
because he backed that cooking.
I worked them in dollars too.
Now, when we got that shit out of the kitchen,
yeah, that shit was amazing.
That was the best meal.
What was the coldest burger you made
when you was back there?
Man.
That you ate when you was working out.
Man, it was something with the bacon
and the quarter pounder.
And like you said,
we put the fresh fry salt on that bitch.
You know what I'm saying?
And then we put, I put hot mustard and barbecue sauce on that bitch.
Hot mustard on the bun, and then the barbecue sauce went on there and put bacon on that
bitch with the cheese.
That shit was the craziest shit over.
So boom, you can ask you, Bill Belvin, you can ask in there.
I still go to, if I go to McDonald's, and I got to be slumming when I do it, I go and I order
a fish filet.
But the way I order my fish filet is the same way that I cooked it when I was there.
So, I want my fish filet, mustard, light tartar.
I want my bun grilled on both sides.
I don't want it steamed, because, you know, the fish flay bun comes steamed.
But I want mine grilled.
I want leaf lettuce, the lettuce that came on the quarter pounder.
Lettuce, tomato, pickle, onion, then, boom.
And I want it cut in half.
That's what I, that's how I tell you, I want it cut in half.
That shit tastes different when you get a cut in half.
I believe.
And they got shit to do with proportions.
They don't be wanting to cut it in half for you.
And they, they, they do, because this is an argumentative nigger.
He's gonna order that shit three times.
Right.
Man, with one slice of cheese, and then I want your half slice, and I don't,
when I say cheese, I want a slice of cheese, and I still want your half slice of cheese that you put on it.
Don't try to short and just put the whole slice
and try to short me the half.
Now, I need that at the bottom too.
Damn.
Yeah.
Real specific.
With a side of the Big Mac sauce.
I don't want, I don't really want a lot of that tart.
That's why I got it light, and I'm going to dip that thing.
It's going to be amazing.
Because that's how I had it when I was eating them.
That triple Mac, that most of them, like just like with Cadillac.
Cadillac got a lot of stuff on it.
because of black people was buying them fixing them doing things to them then taking them back
to the calais dealership getting them service and they're like what a goddamn keeney
getting the flea wood right right so now so now they they put different things in these
costs of what we like what you do what you custom so a lot of these burgers and things
the double fish filet oh definitely came from the um the unlicensed cooking that we was doing back
there.
Oh, I believe that.
I know they'd be stealing something.
Yeah.
Because I know for a fact I had something to do with inventing the chicken tender sandwich,
a Burger King.
Oh, you were doing that?
Oh, I've been doing that.
Been doing that, you back there cooking.
Bruh, they don't even know that we was making fried ham and cheese sandwiches and shit off in the deep fried in the new grease.
Somebody ran off with my chicken fries recipe.
Ooh.
I didn't say specifically chicken fries.
I just said why fries only got to eat potatoes.
potatoes, then the next thing you know.
You gotta watch who you ask those type of questions to.
Like the surfing turf, definitely me, definitely me.
Fish filet, fish filet, two of the cheeseburger patties,
you want the smile ones.
Now my partner used to make the BK broiler with the fish on it.
Yeah.
He was fucking him up over there.
Surf and turf, baby.
Man, you're gonna have me on the secret menu.
They're gonna kick me out to local McDonald's.
be like surfing turd.
Yeah.
The crazy thing is.
Surf and turf.
Did you know what it is?
Burger King got everything that McDonald's got.
It's just the way that you order.
So what?
Except what?
They gotta have something different.
What?
Something got to be different.
Nah, you ever, what is it?
They got this burger called the Big King, right?
It's really just like a double cheeseburger
with some macish type sauce on it.
Macish.
Not macish.
Oh, this is very mac.
It's Macish.
It's Macish.
It's not macch sauce.
It's macchish.
That's how the McDonald's being placed.
This tastes real macish.
Okay.
Yeah.
It's not too macish, is it?
It's macish.
What y'all call it?
B-K sauce, okay.
Yeah.
That's exactly what it's called.
They got that shit.
They got the best barbecue sauce.
They got this.
They got this.
Burger cake.
On the Robles is amazing.
That's the only shit they used the barbecue sauce on.
Duh.
And you go to burger
can't order a rodeo burger.
It's a cheese burger with some onion rings on it
and they got these barbecue sauce
that's just fucking delicious.
I don't like onion rings though,
so I get a rodeo burger with no onion rings,
but that barbecue salt, magnificent.
That's like going to,
so y'all don't have that out,
this out here, water burger.
We just went.
I just went.
I just went.
We just went.
We was out there in Houston, yeah.
Oh, so yeah, you y'all.
We had them in Pensacola,
so I go to Waterburger.
So Waterburger, right?
after hours what a burger man first of all Houston got the best food
period on everybody then they well and I eat it well we just got good food
but that water burger if you go and get a water catch they fish on that Texas
toast you can get a cheeseburger
and get it put on Texas toasts.
It's different.
With jalapeno, whatever you say they're gonna put on this sandwich.
Yeah, it's Texas, they don't give a fuck.
Whatever you say in there, hey man, put saute meat some mushrooms, put on my burger, put it on Texas toast with cheese, and put...
And then, smashed up me some fresh fries and drop it on that bitch.
And cut it in half.
Yeah.
That water burger, you're gonna, and I'm telling you, man, it's crazy.
That water cat's crazy.
It's crazy.
I can see that.
On Texas toast, it's crazy.
Yeah. I needed it. I needed this a minute ago, friend. I needed this about two days ago to order that bitch, because I damn sure what I got it.
It's great.
Because I was just in Waterburger order and shit. Banana pudding milkshake? Yeah, give me that.
So it's this spot in Houston just opened back up. It's called the El Dorado Ballroom. It's the historic El Dorado Ballroom.
At the bottom, they had this market called the Dorado Market. Inside that market, they had, they had.
I have a fried green tomato sandwich.
That is insane.
That is insane.
And I don't think nothing better than it.
And I'm in, I try to eat six something.
I try to eat something in one day.
Fried green tomato?
It's a fried green tomato.
It's a fried green tomato.
It was all right, but you saying this sandwich is...
That ain't never been the number one sandwich
I ever heard anybody.

So just eat more vegetables.
Oh, just eat good food.
Now, I ain't talking about what's raw.
Vegeter.
You see, I've been talking about fish and other meat.
I ain't telling you how to eat that.
I'm saying just eat good food.
Because the way we eat, eat like you eat on vacation.
You don't want that.
I eat like that.
I order Fred Flintstone steaks.
You asked him, I order two things.
I'm ordering two entrees.
Yeah, that's how you get down.
But you order in two, you order
ordering two seabas.
It's going to be a seabash.
You're not supposed to know.
It's going to be a seabass and something else.
Oh, I'm going to order a seabass in a lobster base.
I'm not supposed to tell my order.
I'm the reason to bill be hired.
Yeah, like, we have a lot of times we have to make up
for when we didn't have shit.
That's what, so when we go out to eat,
we don't just order no one entree.
I do a lot of, we gotta have a spread.
But it's not on purpose.
I gotta find a purpose to my fass, and I just forget to eat.
Yeah, I'm different.
Man, I go to the rest.
I just order shit.
I just, sometimes I just want to see that shit
on the table while I'm eating.
No, I'm ordering everything I'm ordered, I'm eating.
Yeah, we're gonna eat it.
But I need the motherfucking table to look good.
Yeah.
Royalty just left this motherfucker.
Did you see how much, he left for half a chicken
in that bitch?
Who left?
You leaving food?
Sometimes just, it depends.
You can't be leaving the food, man.
You didn't have some food that wasn't good enough
to take home.
I know, but don't act like, I know.
You gotta get that out of her.
I'm not about to fake take that shit home if I don't want to.
You didn't have some shit, we were like,
you want to take this on back?
Nah, I don't leave that shit.
Let me tell you how.
You didn't have some shit like that before.
See, you leave it on the table.
That's too much to me.
I put it in the box and then I act like I left the box.
I just leave it.
Oh, he left his food.
No, I'm living in this shit I'm plagued.
I'm not wasteful.
I'm not about to fake take this shit home.
I can't let them know.
Hey, the chicken needs work.
You see we ate everything else?
Oh, they're gonna get it unless you say it.
Yeah.
They'll never think it unless you say it.
Like, they'll never be like,
you didn't eat half of it.
Like, well, yeah, it wasn't good.
You must not have been hungry.
Oh, oh, I'm not leaving it, man.
Let me tell you what.
They think they did.
You want to talk about somebody who I am a old woman,
like my mom in it.
Hey, this is not good.
I'm sending that shit back.
Do you want something else?
No.
No, I do not.
I do not want another one.
I mean, without always, this table.
So y'all thinking worst.
I'm not thinking best case scenario,
but not worst case scenario.
It's like, it wasn't, it wasn't sent backable.
It just, it just wasn't take homeable.
Wasn't palpable.
It was, it was decent.
Like if I ordered it and I didn't have options,
I'd be disappointed.
But since it's an option,
I'm not taking this home though.
doing that.
It's not good, man.
I just don't waste my money.
I'm just sending it back.
Because I hate eating.
I don't, like you say, I don't want them to think that this was good.
But what if it's just, it's not that it's not good, you just have had better and you just don't appreciate this shit for what it is.
That means it ain't good.
Exactly.
I mean, it ain't good.
You never do that much thinking.
But I'm saying, had not had nothing to compare it to, it may have been better.
Yeah, if I got to sit here and be like, is I had something better.
No.
I had something today.
Some Thai food.
I knew it wasn't gonna be good
because I didn't like how it was served.
How it came.
Because Thai food don't come like this.
Y'all doing too much.
It comes a certain way.
It's in that bowl for a certain reason.
So that juice could be up here.
See, because you had the real shit.
Now see, the shit that they're selling,
it ain't the best, but it ain't the worst.
But if you hadn't had the good shit,
you would be like, okay, this is decent.
But since your pattern has changed,
It's changed.
Yeah, that's what I was just saying.
Unless you didn't went to the top,
you didn't have the best shit.
You didn't eat real motherfucking Thai food
in Thailand at this point.
But now this shit ain't good enough,
but you like this shit at one point.
If they would have came out in that bowl
like that, I'd be like,
because they didn't have it, it wasn't right.
I wanna mix my own stuff.
You know how something's cooked.
You know how it's supposed to look.
You will not eat dressing
that don't look like dressing.
Right.
Damn right.
If somebody, you won't even eat,
if somebody said this,
hey, I'm, if they even in their mind
alluded to dressing,
and they was talking about dressing,
but they called it stuffing,
you wouldn't trust them.
You were like, hold on,
this one we just said stuffing.
No.
What did you call this?
It ain't gonna be good.
Dressing.
You already eating it then.
You're like, oh, they had some stuffing too.
I would have put it right on here with this dress.
Mixed them motherfuckers together with that macaron.
No.
Oh, that's stuffing.
This was in the turkey?
You stuffed this in the turkey egg.
In the turkey raw?
And then you pulled it out and you want me to eat it?
Nah.
Nah, just get me the shit that the turkey was laying on.
What's the best, what's the best meal you'd order?
Ordered?
Yeah.
Like you somewhere, you're having a good meal?
And he was like, hey man, this right here was delicious.
I think it was like at a casino or something, brother.
At a casino?
I ain't going to keep it all the way authentic with you, bro.
That damn Hawaiian steak and Houston's.
They closed the Houston's in Houston, man.
Hey, man.
It was too much, though.
It was redundant, my niggins.
Houston and Houston's, niggas getting lost.
Oh, I mean.
Recently I went to.
It was Houston, Houston.
They said, meet you at Houston's.
Oh, man, that's a good meal.
Have you been to New York Prime?
No.
It's good.
Oh, it's exquisite.
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
Buckhead.
A spot called Beetle Cat.
They lobster roll out of control.
Oh, the burger at the vortex never misses either.
So, H&L.
You see how we talk about all these spots?
None of them spots are what we live at.
We live in food deserts, Ali, and you don't have to rub it in.
I know.
We're black and we're victims of racism.
victims of racism.
I would tell you what's near my house,
but it'll just prove your point.
I think we're victims of not thinking of community
because we gotta think of what we need.
Let's find somebody who can make the best foods
and just, let's go in and get a restaurant there.
Ghost kitchen.
Not just restaurants, everything.
Let's get some, let's start with the food there.
One last time you went to a black washerfold
and they went to the wash of hole.
I don't know, but if I had
You know how I play a lot of in there.
Mayor J. Blige.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
But cleaning music.
Yeah.
Mayor.
Jay Bloss.
I think we could really just start with the, like my boy DC, I always say, we can start with the infrastructure.
Yeah, you got to start with the infrastructure.
Yeah, so we're gonna get together and wrap off camera and we're gonna see about what kind of businesses we can open, bro.
Call that bitch the wash around.
Hell yeah.
I'm gonna fuck around and find me about two or three, five.
star chefs open up a little goddamn
hey man we got some good chefs and they say they ain't
given none of the restaurants none of the stars the
the Michelin star you know what I'm talking about we'll get our
shit rated we'll be a four star five star joint
said you had you bought you bought two acres of land you got two
acres land and you made a and then you bought say seven or
We'll say seven, seven 40-foot containers.
And you fabricate all the containers into small restaurants.
This is like for chefs.
This is for small restaurants.
Just one chef fabricated to what they specifics are for their restaurant, various different
types of black cuisine or type of chefs that's serving different type of things, and you
put them in one spot.
you fabricate out the land from where they are.
And everybody has, it's different things.
You can eat anywhere, but you can go into these little spots
and you can order food.
Or you can sit down and there's a little spot,
maybe a little six table bistrope from a canteener.
So these are the things that you don't have to start
like people used to look at things.
It's the things that you can do now
within these, in these spaces.
You know, y'all giving people, y'all taking a space and giving multiple people opportunities in one space.
That's what I'm saying.
Taking, looking at the thing and transforming it from there.
Like with the specials, I can't keep looking at or trying to make fit in somebody else's space.
So I just got to make my own space because I don't get invited to the party, so I just throw my own.
You know what's your own with your own thing.
So I'm never included in these conversations
in black comedy.
So I'm in two different boats.
I'm swimming in white comedy,
what they would say mainstream,
but I came from this, and the only reason I'm over here,
because over here they wouldn't appreciate what I was doing,
because they never mentioned me.
Right.
You know what I'm saying?
Tell me about that struggle,
My brother, they don't want to support this app
just because they know it's black on.
We got a whole app.
Yeah, the 8500 app.
The whole Channel 85 app.
And the motherfucker gonna tell me what they can't do.
They can do something.
Y'all just put out a special, didn't y'all?
We're putting out specials every week, man.
Put out somebody special.
Leonard Ouse.
Yeah.
And that's why I wanted to make sure I got you on here
so you can promote your shit too, man,
and let the people know where they can go get it
so they can be caught up in the series.
and they can follow you and support you
and do that, all that shit that you're talking about, man.
Because the people who fuck with this show,
the real 85% is, those are the people who made us, number one.
Those are the people that followed us and supported us.
And it's no question.
And I know if they fuck with us, the way that I know they do,
they definitely gonna fuck with YouTube.
Oh, for sure, man.
You know, it's on YouTube.
I'm always independent.
Really trying to figure out how to get more money
from YouTube for these specials now,
but it's on YouTube, they can watch it.
watch the first one, Domino Effect, then they can go over to watch Domino Effect, too.
You know, being independent is this constant having to promote, having to promote, having to say
what you got going on. And it's, at some point, like right now, we was talking off camera
about being on the Emmy Ballet. With Domino Effect made it on the Emmy Ballet where it can
be considered for an Emmy, that was the Domino Effect.
win to me because the independent project was at least on the list to be considered
just from our own works because we know how we didn't get considered last year right in
2022 so around and win this shit my boy and now they they they they not the problem is with the
image is it's not one comedy lane it's not like five categories for comics it's a it's in variety
So it could be, so it's Juanicites in there, it's Chris Rock's specials in there, and Carol Burnett's variety,
specials from NBC and all these other things, Lizzo, something with Lizzo and.
It could be any performance, right?
Yeah, that's what it is like.
Comedy performance.
Yeah.
And then you got to be comedy.
He don't got to be comedy.
Best outfit worn on a special.
It's in variety, so just be in it, I'm going to keep plugging at it because we're getting ready to shoot Domino Effect 3 and 4.
So they have at least two more years of me going at it because I know for fact, when BET didn't consider me, well, when I saw the list and my viewership was crazy.
Big shout out to everybody who viewed,
everybody who told anybody to view it.
And I wasn't even considered it.
I was like, damn.
Those people specials was better than mine.
Like, damn.
Not always about better.
It's about who you know.
It's a lot about who your public is,
I figured out what happened.
You know, I'm pretty connected when I want to be.
So I called and they told me what happened.
I was like, oh, okay.
So then the next year, we on the same shit again?
Yes.
Wow.
Yes, yeah, yeah.
You had to make that call again
because the people you probably talk to
ain't even the same people no more.
Exactly.
That's the funny thing about this business.
Who you want to talk to?
Them niggins you want to talk to, you got five.
As soon as they talked to you last time, they got to let go shortly after that.
They was on the way out when they made you them promises.
Yeah.
That's why they were able to do it.
But it's like, so you don't have to be considered by them, people just in the streets like, yo man, there's all about it.
No matter what, nobody say you, and you just keep putting out in it, and I'm just talking about me, which is the cool, that's the other cool thing about it.
You know, how we shot it was cool.
people talk about how it was shot in black and white and in the segments you know that I think
it was a dope project you know which is open up a lane for something else that I want to do
that I want to do and that is theater yeah yeah so the goal is to turn domino effect
one and two into a play so open up another lane for
comics you don't have to just be in a sitcom you don't just have to be in a movie
you could take your work and if your work is that turn into a play like I wrote
Domino effect is a book people gonna get that on Amazon it's a book I was supposed
to bring y'all one damn but I it's two things that I forgot that I was supposed to do
because I was rushing and I'm in and out so I was supposed to get up at three
Getting the car coming at four, I wake up at 351, and I still have to shout, jumping my clothes.
So the book, the book that I was bringing y'all and this lady's, um, this lady's drawing.
Last time I was here, I did a shoot and I had the 85 style, I had this up.
So this lady in, um, Austin, she drew, I'm talking, she drew it.
I told I was gonna bring it on here.
All of it's sitting right at the front door.
Damn.
I grabbed my bag and I ran, I ran out.
We'll hang that shit up somewhere, man.
Let us loan it out to us.
Man, I said it to y'all.
Loan it to us.
We'll throw it up here.
It's dope, man, this is dope.
She did good.
And I was like, oh, she wouldn't have got the Joan off the 85 South Jones.
I said that's all about it.
But look, man, much love, continue success.
Anytime you got something dropping, you know you need.
and you know you're always welcome to come on here
and promote it, drop your social media,
TikTok, whatever you got going on, man.
Let them know where they can find you.
Yeah, you got a TikTok jumping, man.
Man, I do have a TikTok,
but I don't run none of my social media.
Your voice definitely on TikTok.
I know people think I run my social media.
The only thing I do inside the social media
is I will answer the messages.
Like I go through the DMs and answer the message,
especially about Domino Effect too,
Because the messages are different types of messages.
It's not, it's not usual.
All men, the shows is funny.
People got things they want to lay down, you know,
because of what the special was about and how it was laid out.
Man, so it's a lot of, it's unbelievable, man,
what people will be going through.
And what they're willing to tell you in a message
that they're going through.
And I read them, and I read, especially everyone that starts out with,
I know you're not going to ever see this.
Yeah, you can read them and act like you never seen it.
You knew I wasn't going to read it.
Then why you said it?
And they, I read one by on the way here.
I'm like, that's rugged, man.
That the special is doing what it's supposed to do.
That man said, you helped me and my wife through,
what we were going through because of the special.
We lost our daughter.
And it was a hard thing to deal with.
And watching this special, we watched it.
And we going through the moment.
And then we, we, we talked.
This man giving me this message.
I'm going to answer back.
Because, you know, this man decided to drive.
something on my desk that I got to you know respond to so urgent yeah so the special is you know
generating what you know I wanted to do in the in the first place so yeah man so I always
appreciate the platform man appreciate the um the off camera and the on camera man
because y'all say the same way man and keep doing your shit man I've been seeing you popping

when there's so much.

Man, I just appreciate y'all, man, for constantly allowing me to come on.
