 Are you ready to jump this off? You know it. Are you ready to jump this off? Let it do it. Welcome back to another rendition of Yet. Because today is the day that we switch it. Yeah. Like, we started off doing black excellence. Right. Like, now it's the black market. Yep. We done had enough black excellence. That we created a black market. Of black excellence. Exactly. You feel what this is going on. I already know it. Bro, we bring tiptoeing into the crypto currency and the tech world. And you know, people who are tech savvy have been reaching out to us and trying to put us up on game. Yeah. That's a good game to be at, too. Oh, yeah. That's the way of the future. So check this out. Guess who we got to hit with us today? Who is? Man, one of them tech savvy ass dudes, bro. Okay. But he a hood dude. But he know how to code. I already know. You know what I'm like? I already know a lot of little stuff, too. Like how to watch porn and not get no viruses on it. I don't know why you had to smut this man's name up off the top. I'm just saying, those are the things that they don't get credit for that you deserve credit for it. You know what's so cold about this dude, bro? It's like, we don't work with this dude indirectly on multiple occasions. Right. Indirectly without even knowing it. Exactly. Man, without further ado, my man Cedric, what's up, man? Thank you for coming and jumping in here with us. Go Google them. It's Cedric Rogers. Yeah. He used people like real world introductions around him. Like you know, man. Because this is going to be the last time you see him. You don't really get to talk to the boss like that. Not really. He don't even like being seen like that. Yeah, no. Like Batman. Come on. You got camouflage pants on. Now you're hiding from something. What's up, Cedric? Welcome to the trap, bro. You know we're going to talk some shit. Appreciate y'all having me here, man. Appreciate you coming, bro. Be in the trap. Love it. Love it. Man, tell the 85% is, man. Give him a quick little rundown of like how you got where you are. And then brought it over here. Cool. Cool. Well, like I said, man. Where is it from Houston, Texas? H-Town. H-Town. Most city to be exact. Come on. Roll out and bang it. Shout out to Zero. All the way. You can't bring up most city. Not bring up the king, key run and zero. Key run? Yeah. For sure. For sure. Like I said, man, I'm from most city. Went to No-Kill-I-N-T undergrad. Okay. And actually major in electrical engineering. HBCU. All ready. All ready. Man, my focus was always taking eyes. He always was on them cast that used to take shit apart. Put it back together. What you started with? Man, you know the first one was the vacuum cleaner for some damn reason. Man, I would go in. That's what I was figuring. Because they were like black people. You got to get in there. When that belt break off, you got to get the butter knife. Yeah, pop the little wheels off. Toaster. Nah, I ain't fucking no toaster. That's level 10 shit. You know what I mean? Uncle's dad fucking with a toaster. But this one I really got vicious with was a Christmas license shit. Oh, man. That's when I knew. Keep it real. You from old city ever stole some electric? No. Exactly. Good answer. That's what I'm talking about. The cable. The cable. Oh, yeah. Just a little bit till you got back on your feet. You know how that go. But yeah, man. So that was always a thing. Early on in life, I had a passion for technology. Even though I grew up in this, you know, you text me playing football. I ran track too at ANT. Okay. So I was always like trying to do a little bit of everything while I was there. But you know, that experience really prepared me to kind of go into work for us. And so that's when to Apple. And so I started out at Apple really as a, what they call a system engineer. Yeah. And really kind of learning that technology because I started off as electrical doing a lot of hardware. Bro, how you get over there, bro? You don't see a lot of brothers that work at Apple, man. Ain't real talk, man. When I was there, it was, you know, it's been a minute now, but I was wondering a few black people in there. So at what stage did you get into Apple? Like which iPhone was out when you got there? iPhone out, bro. It wasn't even iPhone. Oh, it was in there. It was in there early. Okay. The computers with the color background and big ass on it. After that. You was after that, but before the iPhone. Okay. It was iPod. The iPod. The big boy. Okay. The big boy had just dropped and I was in there. It was just still work, man. Still work, boy. That hard ass, hard driving. Yeah. Denzel had one after the world ended on Book of Eli. He did. What was he charging in there? Same way he was charging in toasters back in the day. Just electrical engineering. But, yeah. So I started at Apple, man, and it was a great experience. It was a cool because it let me stay here in the A. So I was living in the A and I went back and forth between the West Coast and here. And so I worked there for several years and then I actually wound up even getting my MBA at Emory. So I was able to kind of really get entrenched in Atlanta. And during that time, that's when I was kind of enjoying what I was doing, but I really wanted to do something else. I always wanted to be an entrepreneur. And that's why I met Paul Judge. So Paul Judge, folks don't know here in Atlanta, big time, super entrepreneur, very successful. And he took me under the wing and he was like, yo, man, you got the dreamers dilemma. He said, either you're going to have the safety of building somebody else's or you're going to take the risk of doing your own thing. And so I was just like, I'm about that. So I started with Paul. We actually created a startup called Look Live. We went through this kind of incubated thing called Y Combinator. So we had some success there and I learned a lot from them. And then that's when I bounced from that in 2018 to create what is now culture genesis. And so culture genesis, what it was is just a, or it is still today, a company that we would say, we wanted to focus on the culture. We knew we wanted to take literally what we were seeing in tech but apply it to us because oftentimes we're not thought about, right? It's always the white folks or anybody else that's kind of winning. So that's how we started with my co-founder, Sean Newsom. And we started, like I said, in 2018. And cool enough, I got to know Jason Jeter, Tip. Grant Hustle. Grant Hustle boys, right? So from there, they saw what we were working on and they invested. So that was a big thing, too. I wanted to do was like have like the regular tech investors, but I wanted to have a culture too. And you know, with Tip, Jason, that was one of the things that they always wanted to focus on was like bringing that same energy. Let me ask you this. Where does the culture in tech meet? Where are they in inspection? So if you take a step back, I'm going to give you an example from my Apple days and then right now. So if you really look at how the iPod really hit it hard, it was based on music. But if you look at all the music they highlighted, it was always our music. And it was always showing silhouettes and showing people a color, right? And that's how at the end of the day, culture leads in this country, but it also leads across the world. We actually... Our culture specifically. Specifically makes everything dope. And it's the way that really adoption takes place in tech. Because if you really look at tech, dude, man, you know, we're corny, geeky, you know, we're not going to necessarily hit it. But if you had the right influencers, the right people that understand the technology and put it in front of the culture, it takes off. So that's how it was in Apple. But I think today, to answer your question, like, look at what we do in social media. Look at what happens in TikTok. Like, right now, there's a whole issue going on there that we're working on, we're talking about that later. But we actually make everything dope in TikTok. If we stop, it stops. Nigga, we didn't actually make white people cool. Right. You know how fucking hard? Yeah. Yeah. That's true. For real, like the way... Bro, Nigga had his shoes untied and made it a style. And that's been a style. It's just now you just... A lot of the things, and that's the question I have for you, a lot of the culture that we produce has been around for years. But now, since you have to transfer information so fast, you know, you get stuff that look like it's new, but it's not. So how much of that do you take into account when you think about putting out the culture? Like, do you just deal with what's going on now? Or do you go all the way back? Do you have the open doors for people from, you know, maybe somebody that was cool in the 80s to come in and say, I did, that you can translate now? Yeah, I think that's... I think everything is a remix to you. That's the greater point, right? There's a great book about this where it's like really nothing is new, right? It's really another idea that comes back with a little bit of twist and turn. Hell, the iPhone ain't nothing but an MP3 player and a cell phone, merged, right? So it's just a mix of the two things. And I feel like in today's time, what we're seeing is like, that's... You're right, it's moving so fast. It's a cycle. It's like instant sometimes. I was talking to Patrick, these young brothers out of Atlanta. They were doing these dad jokes and they've been really catching on, you know, they're doing all that. But they actually took that from a white dude, which is funny as hell, right? So, but the innovation moved. But I think where we can see a great opportunity is like bringing in people like you all, creators, right, because you all are seeing and understanding and tapping into culture and merging with tech people. That's what really has to happen so that we can own it. Because, like, we're seeing it happen all around us, but we're not taking enough in the ownership. And so that's the big thing for me. It's like, how can we own more of this innovation? You hear a lot of people talk about ownership, but talk about some of the responsibilities of ownership and what comes with the responsibility. Everybody say, own, own, own, but nobody really talks about the responsibilities that comes with being the owner. Well... I think the first thing to your point of ownership and responsibility, right, is that you've got to truly understand it. I feel like oftentimes people reach into it with a very limited understanding and not understanding the impacts of what they're doing, the creations that they're making, right, and not crediting the true creators, oftentimes, that are really behind the innovations. And I think sometimes it happens accidentally and sometimes it may be maliciously, but because people are moving so fast, right, they'll be like, oh, I need to credit so-and-so, or at least get so-and-so involved in the project, because, shit, this is coming from some of their thinking from maybe 10 years ago or five years ago. And I think that's the biggest responsibility to the innovators, right? We have to really take the time to understand where it's coming from and bring those people in on the process. But I feel like sometimes that gets cloudy because people are on their chase, right? They're trying to get that fast money, and oftentimes they don't do it. And sometimes the danger in technology, right, because it just moves so fast. We got to figure out what we're going to do about the internet and all these social media platforms that are robbing black creators and influences and just black people. All together. The culture. I mean, but this is the crazy thing. It's been going on, but like you said, just to transfer information. But now is the time where, like, the money is at the height of where it's ever been. It's so easy for motherfuckers to know where this shit came from. Everybody knows where it came from, but it's like we're the residuals. Somebody getting the residuals. To your point, to your point, your point is that the responsibility, I feel like culture genesis that what we've developed now, we've taken ownership of all death. We have access to so many creators. So the way we see it now is that we have a media platform. We also, as far as a network for media, we have a network now for creators. And I do feel like our responsibility is to hop in there and represent the creators, not trying to take mine in a pocket, but really going after it. Up the check? Yep, the check, right. So how can I get all our creators, who might be in some of our content, their own channels, their, you know, influence it? Well, that's the thing about it. They have to, they got to up the check. They can't just wait on these moments to happen and then you 300 million views up and then they're like, okay, now we got to figure out a pay situation. Well, that's what's happening right now. Exactly. Even with that being the case, how do you get us to stay with us? Because it's so easy with it. Like you said, you know, you have culture genesis, but if you bring in a group of young influences for culture genesis and it starts to work and then some major conglomerate comes and say, hey, I got this. How do you keep that in pocket to say, this is more lucrative for us in the long run? It's not. Just sell it. They're going to get it anyway. They're going to get it anyway. Here's how I look at it. So like, there's actually some brothers here in Atlanta called the collab crew, right? So they got all these young creators, like they're all like 19, 20, some years old, all, you know, from the culture, right? And the way I look at it is like, our responsibility is like to show them the game, right? Partner with them and help them get the bag and then also make sure the corporations are paying them what they worth. See, that's the thing about the game though. It ain't no standard in it. You can be creating content and blow up on one small pocket of the internet. And like you said, sign with some Russian tech company and you'd be rich before anybody in America even know what the fuck you doing. Walmart to pick your shit up and make you never know where these people are getting their sponsor. Like all these corporations reach out to who they like. So there is no standard way to say, okay, you got to watch these people. Like ain't nothing to watch. Walmart looked down this time. I would say there's one thing that is happening that's coming to our path as force culture genesis, right? So like Facebook, which includes Instagram, YouTube, and even TikTok just last week have all come to us saying that they understand or they're starting to see some problems. They're starting to look bad behind it, right? Because they're starting to? In their eyes. It's been a problem for a minute, but now they're starting to understand how bad it looks to where you're taking down a black creators content in the same Asian or white creators content stays up. You know, like, why is that? Well, why is it the black creator not getting the same, you know, deals that the white creators or the Asian creators are getting or whoever it may be? It's just the same game, bro. That's just systematic racism. It's like you're going to waste so many times, so much time asking the questions that you already know the answer to. You don't have to go and ask them people why. You know why. It's time to stop asking why. The only answer is just equity. It's the same to your point. It's the same conversation we have anywhere else. So this is like, yo, how do you give us our equity in the conversation? You got to stop asking them to be giving shit. Yeah, just start taking it. Exactly. But you got to also have a structural, you know, balance that is able to deal with the ramifications that come when you say, you know what, fuck it, we're going to take it now. You know what I mean? A lot of the reason why I think we can't go that route is because we don't have enough structure amongst each other to be able to keep it. Well, we don't have enough principle amongst each other. Yeah, exactly. Nobody's deleted their TikTok page. They're just going to sit there and wait on them to apologize and give them a new filter. They already told you they don't want you on their app. Just go on Instagram with your black friends and let them have that shit. We got a problem with it. Mass exodus on everything. I think y'all are doing it. So I look around who is trying to do it. I look at 85. I look at, like, Kev on stage. What are you doing? Like, y'all are building your own direct to consumer experience. Oh, yeah. Wait till I really get my infrastructure. It's titties in every episode. The only reason I have it is because we're using they shit. When I get my own app, titties! There's a whole section. T-I-T-V. Titties in the building. And then you can go to Magic City and let them know. No, I'm not. I got my own titties. You need to learn about ownership. Ownership. But no, real time. I'm just being the voice of unreason. You gotta throw that out there. It's actually right, though. That's what I stand for is about building. But it's unfortunately not as many of us still yet building the platforms for the creators to also tap in and have the ownership in. So that's what I was saying earlier. I'm saying, Chico, come together and build these direct to consumer experiences so we don't need to go. Right. The next app, the next social media platform we get on, it need to be black owned and we need to be able to be black on there. Let me ask you this question. How important do you think it is that because this, you know, a lot of this stuff that's necessary for the future is not being taught in our schools anywhere in America. So like, do you feel like it's necessary to start teaching these kids Colton and how to operate these things so they can grow with it and by the time they get to, you know, being adults and out here, they already have a keen understanding of the workings of it so they can really stop putting that effort into making the things that we need for us. Yeah, it's funny you asked that question. So like, you know, Usher has Usher's new look here in Atlanta. And while I was living here full time, I would go there and do a lot of just that, right? Helping the young people to understand. It's like, it's cool to play the games, but you need to understand how to like break the game, how to like re-take it apart. Oh, they know how to break the game. They lose. They break the shit out of it. But I mean literally coding, right? Learning how to code. My nephew sitting out here, literally, he was like my use case for this. Like, I taught him really about coding because I was at Apple. Showed him what it was all about. And literally, he wind up getting very passionate about it. Wind up getting a scholarship to Georgia Tech, but he actually got a ride to MIT. So he went to MIT and major computer science. He's smart enough. Yeah, he knows what to do. Now he's back here in Atlanta working in the crypto space. So he's big in that, right? So I think it is about us teaching the young folks, right? We do need to kick that knowledge back. And I think it's not going to happen a lot in the schools though. I feel like it's going to happen a lot of times in these like community organizations. But I think that's important. I guess it's important for us to use some of that revenue that we might receive and build to start to get guys like yourself and your nephew together to come in on a Saturday and just have the kids and teach them, you know what I mean? Like you said, how to break the game because a lot of the information, the information is being taught somewhere, but it's just not where we are. And I think that's necessary because a lot of these young kids are like, my daughter knows how to work the internet in ways that she's showing me how to do stuff. And it's just natural because you grow with it. Yeah, what is he saying? He's saying he want to set up a code thing. You want to? Yeah, we got to. We got the black market. We got to. We got to just to get the kids to come in. This is easy. And there's a lot of people I know that want to partner with y'all on this, right? Why are you telling us? Wait, are you talking? No, bro. Bro, what advice would you give to the future black nerds who might be watching it, those kids who, you know, those ones that they don't understand yet? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, I would tell them like, you know, stay curious, right? Stay curious. And Steve Jobs used to say this thing all the time. He would say, when you look around a room, you've got to realize everything in that room was made by no one smarter than you. This chair, this table. You got to kick it with Steve Jobs. I did. Was he musty? Tell the truth, bro. Tell the truth, bro. And love and memory. And love and memory. That's just going to put that out there. Love and memory. He had recipes, right? But he had got off that whole fruit diet and all that. Because I was on the second iteration of Steve. I mean, he was there, left, and then came back. So I was on Steve part two, 2.0. Steve with the shirt tucked in there? Yeah. So it's a Yaki black turtleneck. So he was clean. Can they hear us right now? Yes. We all got off. Yes. Real tough. Now, I thought you might not want to get into that too tough. But like, do you think that privacy is over with? Is there such thing as privacy now? So I'm going to say this publicly. Don't say the wrong shit. No, I'm going to say the right shit. I'm going to say what I know I can say. Publicly, I know that Apple really did put a lot of emphasis on protecting the data. Here's why. You always got to look at how a man makes their money. Now, if you ask me how Google makes their money, how do they make their money? It's advertising and selling eyeballs. So it's not answers. And then you asked me about Apple. I was going to give you a joke. I thought Google was getting money off. Answers, my nigga. I thought it was all correct answers. All about data. Now, NASA asked me how Apple makes their money. Apple makes their money off of selling you hardware, the phone, the Mac. So they don't need to sell your data, your eyeballs, because it's not a part of their core business. Core business is the Apple store that's got all that hardware in it, and that's how they're killing the game. Now, they have their own software to compliment the hardware. But it's not the core business. Facebook, Google, they're selling you to someone else. So when you ask me about protection, there's some companies that are focused on open and having your data flying all over the place. And there's some companies that are not. So as we sit back and think about that, you can kind of make that comparable anywhere you go. It's like, are they selling my data? Or are they selling me? Or are they selling your product? How can I manipulate the data that they sell? I don't know what you got there. They're just looking at the phone and they're like, look at any precious teeth this morning. Like that type of privacy, I ain't... How I can manipulate the data to work in my favor. Are you in your house? What degrees you have your house set to? Does he need new toothpaste? Because that's all data. I need to manipulate that shit. Because I want it to be able to bring me the exact shit that I want. Like if it's going to be done anyway. But I'm sad. Amazon does that right now, right? With the push button, bring you the product. Like all these companies are getting access to your data and using it to sell. This is shit we should have been talking about right now. It's even, it's even. You know, it's to the point now where you feel like you can think about something and then you open your phone and it pops up. So it's like... Why do you think that is? I'm asking you, man. You know how to break the game down? Like I said, these phones all have a live mic in them for the most part. So that live mic is picking up conversation. And that conversation can be parsed and taken to say like, oh, okay, he's talking about this. And the next time you do your Google search, that shit pops up. Like, why is that? Or you open up Instagram and this shit is in your feed. Like, why is that? Man, you got to get a mess out of it. You know what I yell at my phone every day, so... So I mean, I feel like they also do it through our content, which is back to court what we do, right? So now that we're creating content, we're engaging, y'all got the 85% right? Y'all got them all jumping on shit you're talking about. But like brands is trying to listen to what they like. Who's the core demographic, you know, that's coming to all y'all shows, listening to podcasts? You're speaking straight. I ain't even going to tell you who reached out to me. And I was just talking about them and they was like, we want you. Yeah, they know. I tell you. To here, to here. What's on here? We're talking about eating quick trip, hot dog, quick trip popped up. Oh yeah, that'd be crazy. Now that had to happen to us a lot. We got to do one episode where we just named brands. Brands, over and over again. We could do it today. I'm talking about just name all our favorite shit. Right. Cookie, Chris, everything. Ooh. Shoes, strings, everything. All types of shit. Boy. That's what we did. Hope one catch. That's what it is. That's a smart idea right there. Bro, I'm talking about just about two hours of just brand hoarding. Bring the Jeriker back. Right. I think it's real. I think, you know, any day, like I said, I know. Bro, you took too long to get over here. You should have been came over here and put us up on game. I'm happy to be here. I really feel like it's your fault. They go to Apple people. Right now. She didn't say it, did she? Real time, I ain't going to say it, but so much. Right. I mean, at the end of the day, it's like, I think when y'all just related to just data, just think about that shit for a minute. It's all data. It is. You got the all depth digital. Like what made you, did you have a passion for comedy or did you just see a business opportunity to merge with what it is that you're good at? I have a passion for the culture. Okay. I mean, all depth and how it was created was all about the culture, right? It stems back from deaf comedy, Jim, as we know, starting there. And you look at what that show represented for us at that time. Some of the dopest comedians getting their first looks. And just like, but it wasn't like a regular comedy show. Like people engaged all over the place. It's like representing who we are. So for me, when opportunity came up, I looked at it as, you know, 2013 Russell Simmons created who he was and has always been for the cultures. I was like, oh, this is exactly what we want because it wasn't just about comedy, which was the core piece of it all, but it was about music. It's about poetry. It's about gaming cannabis. Like we were like, how can we take the culture and put our twist on all of those categories? So when I saw that and I went to went back to tip and JG, they were like, oh, yeah, this is a win. So that's what made us quickly pull the trigger. And real talk, they selected us. Because after we had the whole conversation and had been working with them on projects prior to them going out of business, they said like, we will like catch like y'all to kind of take this and further the legacy because we feel like y'all will understand it and respect it and cultivate it and drive it further. And so, you know, I give us that credit for understanding. But more than that, though, it was all the creators that have always represented all deaf. And more importantly, the core unit. Y'all know him as a lot of the squad. But man, like I made sure to bring a couple of them today, right? Who you got? I brought Mick, Scoop Thomas. What's up, Scoop and Mick? Come on. You look good, Scoop. I got to go over here, man. Scoop, come on, Mick. Come on, Scoop. Scoop. I got a flip-flop. Scoop. You told me. I wasn't ready. Who else you got? I'm a boy, of course. At your club. Aw, man. This guy. He's my man. He's my man. Hey, man. Remember that Budweiser commercial when Dude had the dog on his head? I just said no. I welcome him. That's how we welcome him. That's how we welcome him. Mick, Scoop. Welcome to the trap. Thank you for having me. I love you guys. I appreciate you. Yes. I didn't know. Nobody, you don't tell us shit. Before I get back, before I let them rip, so Mick, you know, Pat, and also Kevin on stage. I don't want to miss that. Bro, they came through here. We left. Rifty, man. Rifty. Shout out to the whole stage crew. All the way. Tony the Baker. I never knew. I never knew. Look at who he came to shit. All the ducks. You know what I mean? So when we took ownership, it was like November of 2019, right? Right. And real talk, I had already been able to work with Kevin and Mick for short to here because of the other project we had going. So I like, whoa, we're taking over. Let's build this thing back up. And they hopped in feet first, right? Right. Head first, too. Shout out to Doughboy, man. Doughboy and Teddy Ray been down since day one. Day one. Hell yeah. But Mick, you know, a lot of people don't realize they see, y'all see them often as the talent, but they don't see the point goes on behind scenes. So Mick is like... Yeah, because they behind the scenes. She behind the scenes. Real fat. They make shit. They behind the scenes. If they wanted to see it, they would release it behind the scenes. So with Mick, head of production, like she's a model running everything right there. And then of course, basically a partner in crime is Pat, who was like all of them. I know he was shooting the sketches and shit when I was out there. We was in that, remember we was out there early on that. Was that when we was in Cobra City or? Yeah. Hell yeah. Out there in the street with Doughboy and Teddy Ray. Teddy Ray. In the office all day. In all some shit. So how much, how much as the, you know, the, I would say you, the business side of it, how much do you involve yourself in the content side? Or do you just trust them to do what they do? And you just, you know, is it like a situation where... Ask Mick. Ask Mick how he really is. Yeah, I mean. Maybe like, I'll let y'all do it, but what y'all doing? And then or, you know, but he's really, he's pretty good. I mean, he, because he understands this is what we do. We've been doing it for all day for a while. So it's like, okay, I trust y'all's vision, but he still is like, he's very hands on. So he says like, okay, so I still want to know what's going on. He has really good ideas. He comes from the tech world. So it's like combining. You ever seen him fix some shit? Fire. I was gonna learn about the toaster. The stuff on his head. Now you're going to have all this knowledge and not fucking use it, man. Fix this. Yeah. Because we got this hard drive that's been crashed for about a couple years. You think we're going to get your nephew on that bitch, man? Because we got some people who put us on the hit list because some shows didn't come out. Because the hard drive got fucked up. It's going to plug me into some people. Okay. We got you. Mighty White. All right, man. And Pat, what would you say only just to create a process of what you've been able to do lately? I think it's really just about like making new formats and especially now that we're out here in Atlanta and we get to like work with so much new talent, but also like new style. You got tired of that LA shit. You were like, fuck it. We going to Atlanta with black people are free. Right. Right. Well, first of all, $3,000 for you to mod and I taught it. I can't tell you how old you are in Atlanta. Maybe pay $3,000 a month to live in a trunk. And you're like, bro, you don't have a highway here. Fuck women there. Just talking about moving out here. Because I love it out here. And it is way less expensive like LA is. And it's like people are like actually nice out here. Like everybody sucks in LA. Everybody's just like super mean and fake. But aside from all that, just like talent wise, like we're just really excited to be working with like a lot of new people and we're going to be out here like expanding shows like Roast Me. Bro, you can use the trap whenever you need to. We like this place. We've been like right behind you guys. I love the odds, I think. You know what I mean? Yeah, this is very famous couch. Like we've been kind of like looking at y'all for like six, seven years. Just like, because I feel like 85 South, you guys do things well, but it's also cool. And it's usually don't get one without the other. It's usually cool, but not well done or well done, but not that cool. So, you know, there was a lot of like besides you guys, a lot of formats and a lot of businesses that we got to like look at and see how things worked. So, yeah, thank you guys for even having us. That's the point. You got your hoodie? No, my booty. Oh, I thought you said you got your hoodie. I mean, that one worked too. You got a booty and a hoodie. How about that? Leave it with a hoodie. Okay. Yeah, we're going to make sure we get you straight. But man, yeah, Atlanta, it's a different energy here as far as just creating. Like you said, it's new looks, new feel, new talent, man. Take full advantage of it. You know, it's a lot of people out here who are definitely open to working and building and creating and, you know, being part of the takeover. Especially the roasting aspect of it. The like roasting is just the southern. Oh, man. The funniest one for the young fine ain't going to have shit to do with comedy. Right. Just some dude walking down the street. We love it. We love it. We love it. We're trying to do combines out here. It's not like really out there yet, but we really want to go to different cities and, you know, shout out to Ronnie Jordan. He suggested the idea of like the combine. The roast combine. Yeah, but just like finding people in different cities that like you said, they don't have to be comedians or, you know, it's just like a new way to kind of like get new people in without like filtering them through comedy or acting. Have y'all started the screening process? Not yet. Like somebody drop an email or something. This 85% is going to send me clips. Absolutely. We'll see y'all. We'll talk about it. We'll talk about it. Whoa. We'll talk about it. We'll let everybody know. Yes. Every time I get a new head style, he's like, it ain't come. It ain't come. But it's just like those people like that's what this I would say the city creates like creates an environment where it doesn't have to look like Hollywood. In Hollywood it has to look a certain way. It has to be polished and professional. Right. You know what I mean? And here it could be whatever it is. And that's where the culture comes in because we make that shit look good. Yeah, exactly right. I think that's the biggest thing like just being authentic, right? That's what it means. Genuine authentic to the culture. Right, right, right. Not being unapologetic about that. And I think sometimes like getting out of certain areas like LA and coming to a city like Atlanta. It's a good time to regroup, man. Especially with, you know, the world slowly walking itself back, man. So, you know, hit everywhere you can go. This may be all over the place. I just was in, what, OKC? More black people out there than I ever imagined. It was for the Juneteenth? Yeah. Oh my God. They literally took over. It'd be surprising. Like when we go to, I was just in Columbus, Ohio. And it's just be like, man, we must get a direct connect to all the black people. But the white people they come, it's like, wow. Like, I didn't know we reached this far. Bruh. Like, last black show, you look like you watch this too. Who knows? You know what I mean? But you get it. I'm talking about motherfuckers looking like they came straight out the mountain. It's like, where are you watching me? Right. Hell, I watch everything you put up there. Oh, that's funny. And I always ask, like, do you know who I am? Or did y'all just want to do something dangerous? You know what I mean? And they like, no, we love you. You guys are the greatest. I came to see you. You know what I mean? The same white guy acts. They be the same one. That's who they are. I come up for a two time. I come to see Chico. And they see us up here. Now I see you. That what? Yes. That's kind of white. Yes, all the way. But that's the beauty of technology, y'all. Because at one point, we wouldn't have had that reach to the houses where they could break down those barriers to see, like, no, I like this shit. But I think a lot of it don't even come from the household. You got a lot of people that watch, like, that part of it. But they're watching us on their phones. So, you know, you might work with that dude. And he might, man, what's that y'all always watching over there when you break? And you know what I mean? That is getting introduced in that capacity. So now it just spreads. That's crazy, just knowing that somewhere, we the only black shit in the whole house. Like, they don't watch nothing else. Nothing else. Not wild and out, nothing. 85 cents. That's crazy. They probably learned a lot from it, too. And I'm talking about everybody in the house quiet, listening, paying attention. Dog, everybody. We ain't got videos. My dog loves shit. They don't give a fuck. What a dog. They don't give a shit about the content. It's the pace of the conversation. No, that's not a joke. Like, no, no, no. How many videos have you got of people sitting there dog in front of you? Man, the fucking cat, like, sideways watching this shit like this. Y'all, y'all real talk. Y'all didn't give them videos. Tony let him come in with a voiceover. Oh, we'll start saving. Man, when you send them now, make sure you send it where we can save them. Bro, we get, if this one lady had a house full of cats, like 11 cats, and they would call her. Everybody would touch her, right? I don't know what the real, but animals fuck with us hard. New animals and new borns. But not to like, the owners of the animals, they just turn the TV off. I don't even know. I'm figuring that. We'll use the video. Y'all, you know what I mean? That's their job, I guess. We'll get some strange shit, man. That's a whole show in itself. Just 85% of fan mail. Somebody made this whole rolling trade that holds the light up, got a splat for the blunders. Oh, my God. Bro, that was a problem. Look around in the paintings and all the stuff that people create and send and, man, I mean, we didn't have all the sites just saying, that's the beauty of this and that's the beauty of what you guys are doing too. You create an element of just peace of mind for people that they don't usually get from places that they go for their entertainment, you know what I mean? Because they're not sending anybody that looks like them or that they identify with. But with us, we can create content where people say, I understand that because I went through that. I did the same thing. And that is, you know, something that we got to take advantage of. We try to take advantage of as much as we can. I'm doing a great job, bro. I mean, I ain't real talk, man. I like giving people their flowers while you got a chance to see them. I smoke my flowers. I tell you, they are getting the flowers at school. Flowers while you can smell them. Now I want my money while I can smell them. And that's real too. But now, y'all are killing it. Y'all are leading a lot of ways. Y'all are innovating seriously. Well, let's take it to another level. All the way. I mean, y'all came here for a reason. You know what I'm saying? We both have these platforms. We both create this content. Clearly, there's a working relationship. Let's just elevate everybody's shit, man. Make it look good. All the way. And it'll be a 85 all-deaf summer. Yes. I like that. You're just stinking in there, watching y'all from across the world. Like, get busy. Miami and New York, so it's really dope to be out here. Well, let's put something together, man. It's something we can work on while y'all here. That's what it is. Don't let this be the last time y'all have stopped to drop some links, emails, whatever it is that y'all need to get out here to find these people that y'all are looking for for the upcoming comments. Absolutely. Yeah. So what should... What can they find, everybody? I'll give y'all a sense. Oh, I'm Patrick Cloud, and pretty much everything. What's on you? What's your TikTok? I ain't giving out my TikTok. Yes, you are. You're doing your TikTok pretty well, man. I just be on that bitch lurking. I ain't posting shit over there. That's creative as well. Let me send this to Chico. I don't have TikTok that shit won't open, but yes it will. Click that bitch. That's why I get all my TikTok. Him and my daughter, I can't get on TikTok. My brother, the most anti-social media person you'll ever meet, he be on that bitch just sending me shit all the time. He is one you actually lack, but he don't even have a profile picture. He just likes shit. I'm just on there watching, hey, don't know how to work this shit. I don't even want to give a fuck to figure it out. So whatever. I feel like a lot of people do that, though. And they use those to talk shit also. I don't be fucking when nobody ain't said it. I was on there, I stopped because I tried to do a dance and I looked stupid and I was like done with this. I can see that. I really just watch most of the shit that they use my voice on. Yeah, voice on. That's crazy, that's the part of it that when you're not on social media, you know how many times we don't went viral and I'm talking about my daughter coming like, look there. They get on there. Clips and memes and everything. It's crazy. Just how fast, like I said, the transfer of information, like you knew something that it had made its way around the world. Yeah, you get to clicking them threads. There's always an 85 South show laughing a little clip in there. That's the thing, y'all had that with all that, too, for a long time, like them gross memes. You know what I mean? Like, what's my man name? I'm just historic at this point. Don't know how that tethered and double-cheeked up. Book upon me. What's my man? Chris French, man. Man, I love that dude, man. Nigga told me that your mama shot a nigga during the L.A. riots, bro. He told the Asians, but he said, it's what your mama shot a nigga during the L.A. riots, but now I'm like, oh, I am a fan of that nigga right there. Book upon me. Book upon me. Yeah, exactly, you know what I mean? CT and all these dudes that we, you know, we've been working with these guys. You know, I've never personally met Craig, but Book upon I met CP we've known for years, so it's just we all consume each other's content, because, you know, we fans of each other, so it's like now that y'all back in the game and back doing it, it's like, it makes sense to just merge it all and get some good shit that's gonna last longer than we gonna last, so hell yeah, man.

Is that the one when y'all had my man, Judge? Or was that the one when y'all would call different people in? Yeah, it was like three on one. Yeah. It's a different game. It's a different game. Brutal. Well, there you have it, folks. Black Market. Yeah. What else can you say? He's a driver.
