 Oh my God, check this out. I got another 85 self-show exclusive, man. Two of my real partners and two of the funniest dudes that I ever had the pleasure of working with in the comedy game. My dog, motherfucker, Rito Brown. Rito Brown? Have them, man. How y'all doing? And my motherfucking main, main champagne, Spain. Rodney Perry. Yo, what up? 85 stop? Yeah. Wow. A lot of people who are real 85 percenters know that Rodney Perry is one of our first guests and he was actually in some of the episodes at Steve Harvey's studio. So this is a 85 self-show trap alumni. I'll turn it to another level, though. Bruh. First of all... This is glacial. This is nice. Bruh. First of all, congratulations on the movie. Yeah, man. Me and your man, Nav Green. Yeah, shout out to Nav. Yeah, coming to America, too, man. All alone. Damn. It's about that. He had to look out. Damn. Yeah, because he ain't tell Eddie Murphy about me. He didn't. He didn't. I think he did. He didn't. I was there. I was there. Rodney, don't cover for him. We already discussed this. Had he not been here before you, I would have believed you. Okay, okay. A lot a little bit. Yeah, man. Good looking. You did your thing, bro, and everybody's seeing you, man. I'm glad you're back, man. You're back in there. Yeah, yeah. Hey, how about this, though? I can't let you sing my praises. Like, so me and Carlos go back to who's got jokes. Yes. And I can honestly say I knew. You know, you see some comedians, and you be like, I don't know what that nigga might have. That nigga definitely had it. Immediately? Immediately. Man. Because we would put comics through these little obstacles. And I remember it just wasn't nothing that could shake this dude. And I remember thinking, that dude ain't like, he ain't the little homie. He one of my peers. From day one. And so just to see you evolve, and your comedy grow, and this thing grow, that's beautiful. Man, this right here, is, you know, it was just one of those things that was missing. I feel like we're picking up where the foxhole left off. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. And I was on the foxhole. I know. If you give us what I'm saying, give us one of those good old foxhole stories, man. Well, first of all, nobody tell a better story than Jamie Foxx. First of all? Jamie Foxx is, Jamie Foxx and Bill Beller. Yeah. Best storytellers all the time. They got the million though. And they got all the stories. And so, myself, Cory Holcomb, Speedy, Tangerine, it was just so many names, so many faces we would do. It was just great. It's like, it would have become what y'all have become if we was in y'all time. Maybe. Right. You know what I mean? Because we had the big celebrity of Jamie, but we was all kind of incubating at the same time. Right. But to watch what y'all have done is kind of another bigger thing almost because y'all did it without celebrity at the outset. Right. And that's... You know what I loved about the foxhole though is that Jamie Foxx let everybody be a star. You hear what I'm saying? It's like, whatever level he was on. But that's the duty is though. Yeah. Like, if Jamie was here right now and Steven Spielberg comes sit down, he gonna introduce us. He not gonna let you sit there and not know Steven Spielberg. Hey, Steven, you got to know that he big up your intro too because the intro is everything in the game. Right. Yeah, right. That's dope. Man, this dude right here, man. This dude was one of the most creative minds on the sketch comedy by itself. Yeah. That's the biggest shit about it. Yeah. Like, he got classics out there. Man, I appreciate that, man. I'm having fun with it still though. I think that's the beauty of it, especially the way social media moving so fast. Yeah. Yeah. You get popular for anything now. Right. So really, like, sit down and do a sketch like the one we just did with Money Bag and for people to still appreciate that. Yeah. Let's me know that. All right. They're still looking for comedy. Bro, tell them where you from, Rito. I'm from Boston, man. You know what I mean? You don't remember really running to a lot of niggas from Boston. Yeah, you're real. Not down here. They be some real niggas when you're done. Every single Boston niggas are real niggas. And he has to be because everywhere he goes, niggas be like, Boston, yeah, niggas. Yeah. Yeah. That's part of being in Boston. And the white boys not a game for Boston. They will beat your ass. They will show up with 21 cousins. It's different, man. But I love it. I love Boston. But I love coming like to Atlanta and shit, man, just to see the way y'all do shit, like, to be up here at this show and Rodney Perry just be here. It's crazy to me. Yeah. You know what I mean? It's just, that's the vibe out here. So when you do like, you'll see one or two Boston people. When you see people from Atlanta or in Atlanta, you see everybody. Man, that's because Atlanta got his own ecosystem. Damn. It ain't like every other city has the same infrastructure, but Atlanta got an ecosystem. You get what I'm saying, because everything in Atlanta goes a long way. Just like you said, it's like you never know who might pop up where. Yeah. And how about this? Atlanta also got a sense of history. Yes. You know, like I'm from Chicago. You know, I've lived in different cities, New Orleans and L.A. But Atlanta has a certain link to like black history that I really enjoy. That's one of the things about the culture. Yeah. You know. And it's everything. Like we've seen it, well, not being from here, I've seen it first with music. Right. You know what I mean? We've seen how when Atlanta kicked the door down, it wasn't just one person. It was literally like every week that somebody knew from Atlanta coming out. Right. And with social media, it was the same thing like when you see DC come out, money bags right behind them. Right. And it's just crazy, man, to see the way like Atlanta really sticks together, bro. That's just dope for me. Man, that's because it's such a, the ecosystem is set up for it to work that way. You gotta come, it's certain things that's just gonna happen if you do this shit right in Atlanta. Yeah. Like, because that's the type of city it is. If you do music, at some point, it's some people you gonna have to see. Because you're in the midst. Yeah. Just like if you're an entertainer, bro. If you ain't figured out any kind of role on the Tyler Perry, and you didn't did nothing over that year. You ain't working a little hard. You gotta figure out what you're doing. You ain't been a background, because he wasn't there for everybody. Everybody. In a scene. You ain't been, you ain't been on the little lot yet. You ain't even went out, I'm telling you, you ain't been invited to audition. You ain't been to Tyler Creme? Come on, man. Your name gotta come up. You get what I'm saying? And it's not necessarily that we got gatekeepers in Atlanta, but we have people active in a lot of different industries. We have access to a lot of different things. I've been to Tyler Perry movie from Uptown. Exactly. I met Uptown doing a set. Roger Barb said, hey man, I'm going to get you caught tomorrow. And he did. Right. It's Atlanta. So man, right, tell me what it's like, man, getting these movie roles and being able to do your thing at this point in the game. You get what I'm saying? Right. I don't want to bring up you had a moment where you had to stop everything and regroup and get yourself back together. And now it's like. And I've been transparent about it for anybody that don't know I had a stroke four years ago. And so, that's a stop down. You know, you got to stop down. You got to regroup. You got to get yourself back healthy. And, you know, you do that. And that's why kind of COVID don't scare me. You know, I mean, don't get me wrong. I'm not disrespectful because COVID will come to cap your ass on the show. Right. You know, God give you a new lease. You know, I feel like I got a new lease on life. I still, I still love comedy. Right. You know, I'm out every weekend telling jokes. And that's the gift, man. Right. That's the gift. And we get to, we get to lighten the collective burden. That's why I, I call what we do as comedians. We, we lighten the collective burden. When I watch you guys on that stage having fun and y'all have created a new thing. Oh, yeah. You know, and I'm like, yo, it made me look at comedy different just to see y'all do it on that stage like every week. Y'all made, y'all made what we do into a band. Yeah. Like a music. And we always, it's such a solitary profession. And so to see three guys get to have fun and rock together, that's something else. Right. That's dope. Right, man. That's, that's what I've been telling people all the time. It's just like, this shit is so, who knew? Yeah. And the people make that shit dope and it's like, they helped us create a lane. Wow. And now we in it and we're trying to bring every, you know what I mean? Bring the whole ecosystem here to let them motherfucking know that we see everything that y'all see and we are fans of who y'all are fans of. You get what I'm saying? Yeah. Like this is the comedy network. It ain't just about us. We just happen to be the drivers. Wow. You get what I'm saying? So we try to get everybody that we can, that we can bring on that platform together. It takes you back to who's got junk. You're like, I ain't got nothing. You don't understand how real my life was at that point. How real was it? Man, I'm talking about bro, I'm on probation, probation. Okay. Every time I go see these folks, they want to violate me. Right. Because I feel the description of the description that describes me. Yeah. On every level. You that guy. It's on one hand, I got you telling me you're a star. Then I gotta go see this lady who telling me I'm a crook and I ain't did shit. Wow. Man, I got jammed up on some bullshit. Somebody else did. You know what I'm saying? I let a nigga track my car and they left some, they left some roaches in the airstrike. Yeah. I ain't never, as long as I ever smoke weed, I ain't never left my roaches in the airstrike. Who does that? Who the fuck does that? So, I'm on probation for this shit and they trying to make it seem like I had nine keys. You ain't got nothing. Mother fucking dope. What the hell, what the hell, how dare you. You're lucky I don't just spend your life as asshole. They were making threats. Meanwhile, you on TV. Bro, I'm still. And we playing, we doing tricks. Post traumatic stress of this lady saying my name some night so I wake up and all I can hear is Mr. Miller. Mr. Miller. What was her name? I don't have no no clue cause she said my name some day. Mr. Miller. Everybody in my family know I hate that shit so sometimes they're just like Mr. Miller. Oh, she was strange as hell, bro. Oh, so I get on Who's Got Jokes that she was just crazy. I'm like, what is they doing? Cause you know Who's Got Jokes didn't want to give you no money till you won. I was like, I need some money to do that. Right now, right now. Y'all won't be doing this show for 16 weeks for free. How many rounds is it? Where is the money? Bill keep coming out here with these fresh ass leather outfits and shit. I am just mongra. I just got to interview me one more time. Bro. Yeah. You took that shit with so much stride though, like it was like nothing could shake you. And I was like, dude, that dude a star, man. The shit I was doing outside was way realer than that. So when you seen him performing, you couldn't even tell he had all that going on. I mean, you wouldn't know until you know. You wouldn't know unless you knew. But it was just like whatever he was dealing with it didn't stop him from being funny. That's what was the drive. Because it's just like you get to the razor's edge and you know how you get to that point where it's like you're doing comedy and you're like, I got to make something work. Right. You get what I'm saying? Like this has to work. This is my plan. You get what I'm saying? Ain't no going back. Ain't no, this is the plan right now. At some point you too far off the road to go anywhere but forward. Exactly. Ain't no going back. We here now. Well, okay. Y'all gonna hit me? Y'all plan and they need to know that y'all plan because I'm hungry today. Wow. You get what I'm saying? Now, how do you reconcile that when you're not hungry? I'm still hungry.
