I'm Bridget Todd, host of There Are No Girls on the Internet. And this season, I'm digging into the tech stories we weren't told. Starting with Stacey Spikes, the black founder of Movie Pass, who got pushed out of the company he built. Everybody's trying to knock you down and it's not going to work and no one's going to. to like it, and then boom, it's everywhere. And that was that moment. Listen if there are no girls on the internet on the IHurt Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

Don't say, don't you do that. Don't do that. You went to Magnetcy. Oh, hell. Have some respect, man. Hey, I went to Stevenson. Oh, man. You said, you're a little now.

We're in the same boat, man. Apparently, you went to McNazis. That's crazy. Went to a prestigious private school, man. No. See how they do? We just say shit on the internet that's expected to go viral.

Hell no. Okay, what's up y'all? You already know you are backstage with Jackwoods. We're rolling at Dreamville. Man, it's going down. We're sitting here with some of the best actors in the game right now. Oh, I received that. Popin.

No cap. Gail, B. Malcolm Maze. It's lit. You already know Bruneane, Navgreen. Award winning. Award winning. board winning.

Hey, put some respect on my name. No, real East Side. Yeah. Put that on. You got to pop that shit, no. Hey, I did that shit for the city. Ed Letta. This one for you.

We love that. No, we was just talking about Nave from the East Side. Are you from, this is what I want to ask, being that y'all from the city, what counts what side you from? Is it where you went to school at or is it where you, like, grew up in? Let me go ahead call Armoretta before we get this conversation. Oh, the shade. I mean, if you was born in the toilet, just say that.

No, where are you from? I'm from L.A. South Central. I ain't got no problems. Okay. Juggles. Even in L.A., what do y'all classify where you from? Where you went to school? L.A. is different because L.A. is bigger than some small countries because this county is huge, just like you got Atlanta Metro and all that, you know.

But if you're not really from L.A. unless you're from L.A. city. Okay. And that's different. I'll never say, I don't come up to people and be like, oh, I'm from Atlanta. I'm from the East Side. I'm from Stone Mountain. I went to Stevens in high school. I got an S on my chest.

me and Jim were the same school you know what I'm saying like you'd be like I went to tuck you know what I do rep Tucker we're not doing that we came from a era when we repped our school when we rep our side of town

like it's different over here I still say I'm from the west of the bus route all that comes in the play like yeah what train station you go to and they do that too that's a that's the pride we take and just being wherever you're from in the city

yeah one thing we were just talking about too all cameras like how Atlanta it really breeds you to like believe in yourself and just take chances and like really go for i know growing up both of y'all like what what was that point in y'all career where you was like damn i'm right really could be an actor like that don't because you know that sound like a crazy dream i'm not going to lie in atlanta so right like other cities you go to i feel like the celebrity and the wealth gap is so far apart but in Atlanta you touching you rubbing we all are celebrity. Absolutely. You can have nothing going on, nothing popping, not have no career

in anything. You could still be in, you could be in middle school and be like, I'm her. Yeah. So for me in Atlanta, I remember I was kicking, kicking shit with like my homeboys from the South Side, from Color Pot, Joel, all them, and I rub elbows with TI. I was young and I was like, I'm in the same circle of Ti. I'm hurt. Absolutely. Yeah. So that let me know, like I could be which is crazy because this is like tip like I'm serious tip yeah I was like oh I'm in the I'm in the room with T I can be whatever I want to be yeah it's the problem for me wait shout to tip though for being an inspirational person who allows that that level of um equity with people who he just meets because he doesn't get a lot of he doesn't get a lot of

love for that actually like how much he doesn't make people feel little you know what I mean because it's very easy to be big but it's very hard to remain big and make everybody else feel like they on the same, you know, thing. Absolutely. It's not hard for Gail because Gail's amazing. But the rest of us, you know, that's a very beautiful trait. I had a different experience, though. I never really, L.A. is funny because people think if you come from L.A.

that you automatically Hollywood, like, but it's the furthest thing because there's a literal freeway that divides us, like, in our wealth and in our experiences from the other side. So we grow up next to, like, abject poverty, next to abject wealth. So it seems like a wider gap So close but so far away Like some of the homies never even been to the beach You feel me? So for me Damn

It was um That's crazy That's like saying most For Hunter Holmes never been to a buckhead But it's real But it's like From my area I'm the only person to ever kind of do what I'm like

One of the few people to ever do what I did Or make it out at all in anything But you think because you're from L.A. that you'd be all in a mix But it would be more accessible Yeah but I also got lucky You had a community, a family that was always like I never thought that I couldn't be what I wanted to be. I always knew I could be what I wanted to be.

The question was, how long, not if? Your support of, like, your community, as I'm sure y'all experience, of who pours into you, who you're around, who you surround yourself with, that means a lot. Whether it be your family, whether it be your friends, whether it be people you just follow them after. Because I ain't going to lie, even with y'all. Like, I used to run up after and follow and be front row and center of, like,

everybody who operates around 85 South. Yeah. Like I used to be at Cloud 9 before it was Old Lady Gang. Oh, damn. In the basement. Okay. You know what I'm saying? Yeah.

I used to be there. Yeah. Like looking like, hey guys, I'm at school right now, but can I just watch? Can I just listen? I used to follow Rodney Perry. I used to follow The Chronicles. I used to follow Fat Man. Fat Man.

Fat Man. Shout out to Fat Man Deezy. Hey, shout out to Fat Man Deasy. And he doesn't start back doing coverage too. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Loz. I used to follow all of them, Chris. Set it off.

Set it off. Set it off. Set it off. Watch out now. Set it off. Okay, this gets a little too. Y'all going to have to get me in this psychoppedia and an albumine. So these real Atlanta comedians, not just Atlanta, no, these comedians that we saw, like she said,

we had to prove you a goring up under and watching and witness, and now they are doing it in arenas. But that's a fraction. Amen. Yes. Like, at that level. That's dope. But it's just like you said, it gives you the confidence that you could do it. When Loss won?

Man. Yeah. Yeah, I feel like Atlanta had one. I'm not going to lie. Like, it's seeing that, it's seeing TI, it's seeing Lowe's, it's seeing these people that makes me feel like, oh, I can do it. Yeah. I can be, so that was what it did for me. Yeah.

But, Gail, like, you being, I say this, like, the character you portrayed with Wanda on Snowfall, like, that in itself, like, that's bigger than, like, that's, like, that's a worldwide type of shit. Yeah. True. But to be from Atlanta? On FX? That makes it even better. I was like, yeah, we got to watch this. Air week.

My son's on. Hey, what's up? Eric. Listen, I love Snowfall. He know when I, when I, he was already on snowfall before I got there. He was like, if you want to roll, it's yours. I said, no, Malcolm. I want to get it on my work.

She said she wanted to get it on her own. He was like, it was crazy old. That was up for you look for looking out, though. Because listen, if you want me be on P Valley, you know, I look. Hey, look. Hey, what you need. What you want, baby. Take a talk to take a Tartory.

I'll take it But I literally said Because I was next to John When I said it John was like Oh you don't know This young lady I met before Who's coming up for the road

And I was like Oh no that's Gil Bean She's gonna kill it That's what it is I don't know who else in there But that's it And he was like Well if she wanted it's hers

And I called her And she said no I want to get up in front of him And earn it And she did I was on some I was on some nigga shit Nah I should have been like

Give it to me And listen For all the black people Watching Don't get it out the mud Don't stand on the mayor of your work No.

You say why you get there. Don't stand on business. It's a lot. Don't stand on business. Business and will crumble. Actually, actually that is standing on business.

Because that's how business works. Yeah. Okay? Because anybody want to get in the hands of I'll take it. Show you earned it. I tell you like most businesses are started by some form of nepotism. We are the only people that don't want to shit. All right.

All right. Hey, nass nigger. Look, soon as you started talking about black people sticking together. They're trying to get in a cordon. Right. See, listen. Right. But now, even you are raising Canada, like, how you portray your character.

I was just about to say that. Because you make me mad as fuck. I was, I'm doing it. Like, damn, every time you get your life together, you want to. I was in a restaurant, I posted us a restaurant. Can't get right-ass, niggum. I was like, keep the drink away from you. Right.

I was like, hey. The whole time, I don't drink, I don't smoke. Look at all the whole time, I don't drink, I don't smoke nothing. This, I was about that, but I was about to say, that was, you played a really, not even just the alcohol part but your role was really emotional like how did it how did you how were you able to tap into that

he's the only one that could touch rock and make her feel that yeah yeah my baby because I thought you were dead I thought you were dead only reason why you and you all thought on dead too they do not give us the script like well okay I made it

they don't even give us description to like the week like oh damn actually crazy but you know it's funny I really appreciate you acknowledging the emotional The landscape part because, you know, we get caught up into action and the drinking and the drugs, but we never really talk about, especially as black men, the emotional landscape. That's a lot. And, yeah, and the opportunity cost or the negative cost of the things that we participate in,

of the traumas we participate in and that we perpetuate. And I think it was very important to show that side of it. It's like it's not just smoking shit, drilling shit. It's about showing what it costs to do those things to participate if you can, if you have a soul. Because I really felt like you was remorseful. Like, you really didn't like killing people. Like, yeah, this shit fucking up, my mental. But the reality is, if you, if you've ever been incarcerated

or in proximity to people who participated in certain activities, then you know that everybody ain't no sociopathic, brain-dead killer, murderer. But here's the thing, imagine it's a lot of men out here, black men, speak to what you're saying, who they really be messed up behind the things that they have done, right? Like, I can't remember who it was that we seen breakdown on social. Was it G. Herbo or was it, um, I don't think it was a little dirt. It was one of them that broke now, literally on live or in an interview,

about missing their brother. Yeah. And it's like, they, that's heavy. Yeah. It's heavy. And we do, as black people go through a lot of trauma that we have normalized, but we don't realize that it's trauma. We don't make it cool, so it's like, shit, a nigga to survive the streets,

but it's like the streets still be scarring you sometimes. Listen, I never forget. And don't make this a sound bite. I was in this trailer of hair and makeup for games people play with Lauren London and I said we got to look out for nip because hey he one of them ones she said if the streets ain't got him he good yeah next day yeah but that's but one thing I will give to Atlanta you know not that not that it's better anywhere else at least there's an attempt for community and with LA we're still working on that I love home and

We might have had it when we were first coming and migrating from the South. But I miss that. And that's what I admire in Gail and y'all in 85 South in like the community, the sense of that blackness. And I think L.A., we got a lot of sauce and we got a lot of things going on. But if we can get that community part right and protect each other, I think that it'll be a very beautiful thing for the black community. Yeah, I feel like all black cities should be like that. Y'all really like, even for you to be on here, you know what I'm saying, for you to be on here. Like it's a whole thing with like 85 South has formed a collective of like we take care of our own.

And I think that's in Atlanta thing. Yeah, for sure. It's just so beautiful to see and witness. Yeah. I love that. Shout out to Lowe's. Shout out of them, D.C., Chico. Yeah, they do it.

Because they read. That's crazy. That's a crazy. Hey. We just heard. Hey. And the video make the song even better. It was hard.

Yeah. No, he's hard. We told them to my dad about it. They hated you now. It's one to two now. They hate it? Yeah. Yeah.

At first. At first. You can't hate, you can't hate jail too long. That's the video. We didn't hate you But we really wanted you To get your shit together Yeah, come on, man

Okay Man, when you went to that house I'm sorry Right I don't know what to say I'm sorry You're not for her You're not sorry

You're sorry that Wanda Yeah You know we're gonna get off Wanda We're gonna move on To P Valley Into Rulet I just want to say I'm coming over to Blue Flame

Malcolm Maze on everything. Make sure you stream his music, though, because he's five. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, I do got a song with a little baby. Okay, that's what you know. But look, my favorite song, he got a song with a little baby called Not Love. I'm going to pipe him up real quick.

But he also got a song called Six and Stones may break my bones. Okay, Steve and song, no, that's the shit. That's my shit. Hey, you know. You just sent back so late. Like, you ain't going to tell him about the music. When we brought up at Lama, you spoke a black, well, I got one with a little baby. Right.

That would have been right now. We did it well. We did very well. It was all. It was dope. No, that's what's what I was there when we recorded. It was actually a very Atlanta session. It was dope.
