It's black-owned pizza owners. Because the pizza's black. No, no. No, I'm saying, because it's like, if you're a black person and you have a dog, then your dog's black. Right, okay. So since this pizza being made by

Black people, it's Black Pizza. It's Black Pizza. That's gonna be the name of my shit. Hey, man. I got that Big Bob up here with me today. From Edgewood Pizza. How y'all living, man? Welcome to the Trap.

You can't have nothing from me. I know all about that. Somebody put the code in. Man, put the one, two, three, four, five, that's not a very secure code. Yes, it is. Nobody would ever get that. 15 years strong, man.

Really? Yeah, Edgewood. 2006, man. 2006, a lot of great things. No, nobody was there. Nobody was there. Word. Other than jobology, coffee shop.

Yeah. And we moved in, we stuck there, we're hung in, we're still there. That's what's up, man. They said you came down through the hood and, you know, hired people from the neighborhood, man. Why now? He hired me, man. The only way to do it. So you're from here, I'm in for a for it.

How did that happen? My mom told me to get a job. Trying to be in the street. She was like, nah, man. Man it, you gotta get you a job. Went down the edge of it, South Bob. Bob was on his one-man restaurant stuff one day.

He was taking the order, making the food, and delivering the food. It's back in 2008. For real? Yeah, two years after he bought it. It was 2008, man, he pulled up on my block. I was like, hey, yo, Bob, what's up the job? Man, come tomorrow.

Got a job, just like that. Brough. Just like that, Fred. Why do you take him serious when he hit you with it? Hey, bro, what's up to job? Man. It was him? and a whole bunch of kids on the block.

Right. They all needed something to do. Why not? Yeah. So I took them all in, passing out flyers, getting the business up. This would be the perfect opportunity for me to ask you,

what you think about the situation in Atlanta with the water boys, Gileet? Oh, yeah, yeah. No, that's how they got anything right, man. I deal with them. I was a flyer. All right.

For him, I used to do the flyers, and we want to make it away. He was doing a flyer. So if they could get some money without the water, that's even better. I was making a dollar off every fly, I passed down. You know, they're trying to shut it down, though. Why?

No, no, but they started, you know, they got a new spot now. Oh, okay. They took over that old lady that got gunned down. Oh. What was her name? It's called, Hey, H-E-Y. So what they're doing right now is they bring people to different areas, and they bring them to work.

Right. I actually had a young kid named Quinn working there. There's another kid that was working for me, but he's not working right now. but they got a spot now. It's called H-E-Y, and they're doing pretty good. That's dope, man. Shout out to the water boys, man.

Don't let nobody knock you off the time. They got a thing. They got their own water. They got their own bottle water now. It's worse out the street and go get a job, man. I wish I would have been selling to water making how many money they're making. You know what I'm saying? They're out of the way they ain't trying to be in nobody.

You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? They're just trying to be on the corner of sales and water. Let them boys get their money. Bro. Did you ever think of them? when you yelled out, hey, Bob, what's up with that job? That it would last this long?

Nah, hell not. Nah, man. And then he calls me his little brother. You know what I'm saying? I've been rocking with him for almost 13 years now. Yeah. So it's lovely, man. You know what I'm saying?

He helped me out a lot. He graduated from college. Yeah. He put me through my first year of college, man. Snuck it out and save your life, basically. That's the man. I just said, I tell this man this all the time, but he will not take the credit for it, bro.

He will not take that credit for it. No credit for me. He really wants you to stop bringing it up. I bought my first car off his paycheck. See, now you're getting too good. You don't cut you off. For real, br. I've done so much.

Off of pizza. But it's not just me, though. He's doing it for a lot of kids, you know? He's got to my brother. You know what I'm saying? He's a good dude, man. He makes a good pizza. Bob, what do you get the sauce from on the pizza, bro?

You usually don't see a whole lot of black people in the pizza industry. No, no, no. When I first bought the spot, I mean, I got it for a lick. Okay. $5,000. Anybody got any piece of spots out there to sell? How did it meet? I got experience.

I used to work a down at those. I'm doing $5,000 a lunch now. For real. Oh, yeah, yeah. When she sold it to me, she was going through a hard time. Real hard, she was smoking crack. She was all the place is on here. Yeah, she was.

She was. Really? She was, yeah. Wow. This story is getting black about the end. You should have told me I would put that in the notes. He bought a piece of spite from a lady on drugs. Coming up next.

White lady. A white lady. White lady, too. Wow. Is this public info or just a new? I mean, it's good, info. So in the hood. She was there.

She was doing good. Man, you came through it. You really did hit a lick. It didn't take you the long to start making. You're taking a profit. Once you bought a sign, did the parking lot. That's what's up, man. So you finally got to take a crack at the pizza business.

Oh. That was... Damn, that's cold, man. She gave me the sauce, the dough. She showed me how to make pizza. All this for $5,000. Well, $2,500 a week, because I had to keep her there for two weeks. So I can learn how to do it.

the shit. So you bought the restaurant from him. She showed up on a payment plan. She's working for you for two weeks. This shit is amazing. Please tell me some more of this story. Did she ever show back up and like,

give me $5.00. She's actually doing good. She's in Tennessee. Shout out to that lady. Yeah. And whatever you got for sale next. Shout out, Charlie. I want some.

So she showed you the whole game. Oh, yeah, she showed me the whole game. Just put this up, because ain't none of this shit on that. Yeah, so, I mean, we stuck it out, you know. It's hard, but, hey, I know how to deal with people. That's what's up, man. I don't care who you are, man. You can be rich, be poor.

I know how to deal with people. So you're not from America. Huh? No, I'm from Eritrea. Shot them out, bro. East Africa. Yeah, I'm looking at that camera This is the East African camera

That's your East African family They like that perspective for some reason Nipsey's from there too Yeah Tiffany Haddish Yeah, her too Yeah, exactly, a lot of people Shout out to the whole community

Yeah, been here since 82 It's a good year to come here Yeah, a lot of shit was going on Portland, Oregon You been in Portland? I hung out with some white folks Then moved to L.A. Then to Florida

That's a lot A lot of moving. Huh? It's a lot of moving. Hell yeah. Why not? I don't know. You go to the time.

You go to the money. Yeah, you came over here. You wanted to see the whole, my fucking America. Yeah. What's what made you stay in Atlanta, though? Man, the opportunity here for black people? Wait, it's endless. They think we're just camping out here, man.

Tell me. You can do anything. You could be standing in your hood and just yell out. Hey, what's so with that job? Yeah, for sure. And get one. Start making that. I don't buy a pizza restaurant

from a white lady on drug for five G's in a lot. It paid a and increments. Two increments. That's what's up, man. That's what it is, bro. But that's not your only business, you know, venture, though.

We got a new restaurant I'm opening up Carl Handel Bar. It's a bicycle theme bar. So basically, it's just to cater to people that I want to see A bicycles. Yeah. Not only on bicycles, but it's also a bar, restaurant, something that I'm going to do.

You know, because a lot of people right now, I mean, I don't know if you know this, but back in the days, African Americans in America had only two ways of transport, going, going to places. Those feet. They either had to get on a bicycle, get on a train, or a bus. That's three. I'm happy, but that's three. That's three.

Okay. Well, they had three there. Yeah, three. All right, bet. Yeah. So you're going to bring the handlebar to life. I'm sitting here thinking, though, right? So you got edgewood pizza, but you're going to open one in West End. Yes, sir.

So will the Edgewood pizza in the West End be Edgewood pizza or West End pizza? Your entire identity has been fabricated. Your beloved brother goes missing. without a trace.
