Summer's here and with the kids home
and off to camp,
it's easy for moms to get lost in the shuffle.
On good mom's bad choices,
we're making space
to center ourselves with joy, rest, and pleasure.
Take the kids to camp.
You know what? It was expensive.
But I was also thinking,
you have my kid,
this is kind of priceless.
Take her, feed her,
make core memories.
I don't have to do anything.
Main thing, I don't have to do anything.

We've waited here long enough. It's time. We are here.
It's time to get back focus and get back on TAS, J-O-N.
It's time to let these people know.
They're like, see in my mind, it started off.
It's just like a little black market.
You get what I'm saying?
But now it's like a black mall.
So when I be doing these episodes, in my mind,
I'm really just walking through like a black-ass mall.
You feel what I'm saying?
It's a food court.
It's a massage therapist in there.
There's a little place that sell knickknacks.
There's a spot to get your hair done,
car insurance.
We get your home remod.
It's like, but everything in that black.
It's niggas in there ain't doing nothing.
Just niggas walk around.
It's a shoe store in there, bitch.
Corn dog spot.
Croy got a little popcorn stand in the middle of the mall.
Yeah, yeah.
You know a little popcorn?
Come on, man.
Nicholas and them got a little spot in there.
Everybody who been on the black market got a little spot.
We didn't have everybody come in here to talk about,
here to talk about mortgage, talking about how to get your products on Amazon.
Got to get the frames.
Frames.
We've had entrepreneurs here.
We've had authors and artists.
We've had people in the fashion industry.
We had people on here with a dollar in a dream.
But today, I feel like we get to have one of our own on the black market.
Oh, man.
You feel me?
And we know this shit is dope.
Mm-hmm.
Because that's exactly how we came into this shit.
Before there was any of these things.
Mm-hmm.

So before I even get into the intro,
just look at the camera and tell them.
Tell them who you is, young man.

Everyone wants to be goady, everything, every brand.

So I had some, I had something I can trademark it right then.
You know what I'm saying?
Cause I was like, nah, this is the one.
And, um, and what, and before I even trademarked, what happened was when I made it,
I was, I'm gonna put it on the shirt, my bad, I'm about to put it on the shirt for myself.
And I typed it in, put it on the shirt, and this was like the third font that came up.
It was a regular, then another one than this.

They sent it to me.
Actually, the first person who got the shirt,
you got Tyler Chronicles.
Yeah.
Fluke.
Yep.
I took it to them.
Took it on the show,
more than culture.
I was filming for it.
I still filmed for it.
And him and Ronnie went crazy.
Like, bro.
Now, I need that, bro.
That's into being going,
and been getting the same response since.
You know what I'm saying?
Once people hear the meaning of it.
and you see the logo, it's cool logo, you know what I'm saying,
you see the quality.
It's great.
You gotta stop spoiling me, though,
because now I'm in the habit of,
anytime I see you out with some product,
I feel like I'm supposed to walk away or something.
And you know that, I'm like,
I'm like, bro, I gotta hurry up and get,
because I gotta have them shorts right there.
I got you, I saved them, dog.
These the last of the dime breed right here.
I'm gonna drop some more this summer too, though.
Man, what you're going with, though?
What's the new flavor?
Um, man.
Man, I'm trying to figure out.
See, I like this.
This is called Sharpa, Sharpa.
So I like fooling with this.
I don't put this.
I'm going to be pulling this on different stuff.
You know what?
This shit be hot as hell, too.
When it's insulated.
Yeah.
I'm talking about I had a show in Buffalo,
and I got a polo that's just like this.
Man, I'm talking about walking through that motherfucker sweating.
I was like, this shit's so hot.
So that wasn't, and that's why I was like made the shorts,
and I ain't make them short.
Like, that was going on is for the knees-end type of fellas, you know what I'm saying.
I already know Big Gip wants some.
Yeah, yeah, he definitely wants some.
I was mad I ran into Sleepy and I hadn't had nothing on me, you know.
Yeah, most definitely.
Yeah, so that was Slick inspired.
Right.
You know what I'm saying?
She's skinned.
Down down the mom.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, Sliq.
Now I'm thinking about it.
I ain't think about it then.
Yeah, three stags.
Remember, they went on tour.
He had the blind wig with the motherfucking big boots in the fuzzish shorts.
With snow boots.
Yeah, doggone.
Bummer on three stacks.
But when Gip was on here, he said him and Drey,
they used to just go out to like thrift stores
and just look, knick-knacks shops and just see
how far they can really, like, you know, take the style.
And it was just like, you know, friendly competition,
challenging each other and just like,
how flat can you get, you know what I'm saying?
That's how the NBA is now, they be walking through.
Yeah, they be, yeah, they be, they be wild and that's my thing.
Like, I ain't, I'm not, I'm not,
I wasn't in the fashion like that,
but you know how we do shoes and a hat.
Sometimes black people will fuck around
and make some fashion on accident.
Exactly, bro.
Like, so now that I'm, but I am creative,
so I'm gonna be making up stuff.
My clothes gonna be like trinkets, you know what I'm saying?
I plan on putting just different stuff, man,
different pockets instead of a hoodie pocket right here.
What about pockets right here?
Because you wear a hoodie, you end up dragging,
stretching it out.
You know what I'm saying?
So where I put the pocket right here, you put the key in your phone, you know, creative stuff like that, man.
And, yeah, it's up.
So look, where can they go see all the products laid out in full and all of that?
Visit b-goody.com, www.b.b.gote.com.
Also, on Instagram is B-Gote underscore ATL.
You got stuff for women, kids, everybody in the family.
You can put any of people.
Big boy.
Yep, yeah.
What you need?
everybody, man. Like, you can put it on anything, too. Like, that's the thing. It ain't a clothing line. It's a brand. Like, we got, you put Goody on a sports bottle, the kids gonna love it. You can put Goody. You ever seen Nike on the car? That looked crazy. Yeah. But you put Goody on the car. It's like, damn, he'd be in aggressive of all time while he driving. You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, my boy got a white box shiver called Air Force One.
See? Oh, that's hard, though.
Yeah. So like, that's, that's what I'm on, man. It's inspirational. Um, I just,
Today, I just started the process of the nonprofit organization, and it's greatest of all-time youth.
I like it.
It's simply that, man.
So we're going to be going around talking to the kids, not kids.
I want to talk to, like, 12 graders.
I basically want to do what they are doing for these adults with these motivational conferences.
It's going to be called GoodyCon.
Basically what they know with these conferences, but to like 12th graders who fend to go in the world.
Like folks ain't tell us about speaking stuff into existence and manifesting and believing in yourself.
And you know what I'm saying?
They ain't telling us that they told us go to school or get a job at the factor in the city, you know what I'm saying?
So I kind of want to be that person for the youth, like people telling these grown folks how they need to change their life and do this.
Like, well, we're going to do it for the people who are the future,
who are going to be running the world.
So that just came about, too, man.
Ain't it crazy how everybody want to help the kids
don't nobody want to help the adults?
Yeah.
Once you blow that opportunity as a kid, it's over.
It's over with.
There ain't no support groups for grown men on Thursday nights.
Man, what y'all doing?
Man, we're just going to sit around, have some wine.
No.
No, nobody's ever going to invest in that program.
So you mean to tell me, you guys,
you got some grown-ass men.
We're just going to sit around and get drunk
and talk about their problem?
Not, absolutely not.
That's what titty bars are for, my boy.
You're not in a bar.
You shout out, man.
Yeah, but nobody ever sponsored us doing that.
Nobody's going to put some money to the side.
And be like, you know, for all the men out here struggling
to date these hot girls, man, we...
The bus's going to be at public at 8 o'clock.
We're going to Magic Blue Flame and...
We're going on the strip club, run.
All expenses paid.
For anybody who want to be there,
you don't have to bring nothing but yourself.
Nothing but yourself.
It's therapeutic.
Food, ones will be provided,
and all the liquor and bud you could smoke.
Damn, I might have to, that might be how I get back to the city, bro.
That might, because you say, when nobody's-
Just find me a black transportation company.
Give me a party bus.
You put a little money inside and just let all my niggies just coming in,
you know, just, like, especially like niggas
who didn't want to court that week and beat the charges.
Now all your money tied up in your freedom
You need to be celebrated too
You deserve it too
You out here being goaded
Yeah, that's good
Because the shit could have went the other way
Could have went south
And to all my niggas watching this
Who got a second chance
Don't fucking waste it
Because me and my nigga
Gotten that nipa to be out here
This subway motherfucker
It's sharper oh y'all
Come on, man
I like to call them to
She lays on my lap
You know what I'm saying
Because she gonna want to lay on your lap
Hey man, drop the website one more time.
One more time, it's www.b-gote.com, man.
Why they call you dot net?
All right, man.
There's two reasons, man.
Look, one reason is...
It's a family show.
No, I was just going to say.
The whole family watched it.
Right.
Dot net, man.
It's dunked on two nigs every time.
That's a new one.
That was a new one somebody gave you, man.
So I liked it that because I used to do that thing.
I was a heck and dumb at this age.
But before that, when I first came to Atlanta,
I'm from Milwaukee.
And my father-
Yeah, and my partner-
You're from Kenosha.
No, I'm from the dark side.
So my partner down here,
he ain't know nothing about Milwaukee,
but he just seen Pimp and Ken,
and it was Pimp and Ken.net.
So he just started calling me.
Dot me.com.
Shout out to Pimp, he didn't know.
Shout out to Pimp, he didn't meet him and everything.
He got some good.
Yep, he fooled with me.
So that's how I got the name and I brought it back when...
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He pushed that hard.
Yeah.
We were walking where I'm from, man.
So that was pretty dope, man.
Got it just like that.
That's, I'm glad you asked that.
Because people don't know...
And his family from my hometown, too.
I'm from here down in the city, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Yup, dope.
Pivoting this, motherfucker, M&M.
Not, you understand me.
Uh.

I got, yeah, you see how you.
Yeah, I already know.
I already know.
No, I'm fine.
I'm my red friend drop blunt, blunt ashes and all that on that.
The first pair are probably getting burnt.
Yeah, my grandma used to say,
boy, get out before you get what?
Bunt up.
Yeah, most definitely.
But hell, I ain't gotta tell you,
you know where we're at,
because here, you was here before we was over here.
You already know what it is, man.
So much love to you, fam, and big salute.
And shit, I can't wait to see where you take it to next.
That's up, man.
