They need to do something with the pollution because what
I what I realize is that in the morning the
sun comes out a little bit later than in Atlanta

Speaker 2 (02:32):
You don't eat the burritos out to see. I love

Speaker 4 (02:42):
But you got.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
My wife was asking me, how was it going.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
I was, You're gonna find a way to tell you

There you where's Colins Miller from Oxford, Mississippi? From the
from the Sip and what I kind of want to
I really want to get make this episode about you brother,
and like your flowers first and foremost.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
One of the.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Funniest people I know. Appreciate it, Bro, But you're like,
I call it organic funny and he's unfiltered. Yeah, but
like you're very naturally funny. I can tell when you're
doing your comedy you're being yourself.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Yeah, correct me if I'm wrong. No, you're definitely right
because I approach comedy from the viewpoint of a fan
of comedy.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
You get what I'm saying. So that's who you are?
Was that who you were growing up? Were you naturally
the funny guy or the comedic person of the family.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
Like when people like, man, what do you do, I'm like,
I never looked at comedy as a job. You know
what I'm saying. This was just like my passion project.
I knew I didn't want a job. I didn't want
to go to work every day because even when I
was like working and in the workforce, I was just
find shit to do at work that just was entertaining.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
What were you working?
Speaker 3 (04:33):
I've worked everywhere, Bro, I've had it.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
What's some jobs?
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Your jobs?
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Man?
Speaker 3 (04:37):
I used to sell shoes, cookies, I worked at the
mall Spider, you know, the cookie spot at the mall.
I was the manager at lid. It was a firefighter.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
You were a manager at lids at a firefighter.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Not at the same time, but I was like that
that would be.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Being a firefighter is like like you had you got
to take tests and stuff.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Yeah, a lot of tests go through some like to
fire academy. Yeah, that's where I lost the job. Like
some racist shit happened at the fire academy.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Tried out the courage.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
Well that's what it was, though.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Some racist stuff went down at the Fire Academy Mississippi.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
Yeah, are you surprised?
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Nah? I was the way that they played it though,
because they tried to flip it like it was me
being racist to the white dudes, but it was.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
We was out numbered in the class twenty to five.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Damn.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Sounds about right, and I was the only NAT turner.
The rest of them was damned the embarrassing to the
black community. I won't even speak on them, but they
were some cowards. Wow.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Yeah, So how was it growing up in Mississippi like Oxford, Mississippi.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Yeah, Well, if you don't know what Oxford is, that's
where Old miss is. Home of the Old Missus. So
we got a big college town, big college population now,
so the Old Missus like in the middle of the
city and then everything else around that is Oxford.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
So it was always interesting.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
There was always a lot of little hustles and schemes
and plots that you.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Could come up on, like you know, a little money
to get. So we was just there was a lot
of hustlers around there. But you know, we were doing
like selling drugs, but they got that. But we always
had a little a little hustle, a little scheme, a
little plotter was running. Yeah, Like we would go to
the Old miss games and like sell Cox Game.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
T shirts and stuff.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Especially for it, like the tailgaters, I mean I had homeboys.
He used to go make two three thousand dollars a
weekend just setting up and breaking down tents. So we
was just always about getting some bread and.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Oh, now as this is happening, are you trying to
be a comedian?
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Now? Yet? None of this is happening in Mississippi at
this point. So my introduction of comedy was I was
I joined the improv group.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
First.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
I was doing improv in Mississippi and Mississippi so like
in between our improv setups, I would just go out
entertain the crowd a little bit. That turned from two
minutes to five minutes to ten, and one night we
didn't have an improv show, but the venue like, hey,
if you want to come and do your thing. I
didn't even have a thing. They just gave me a
knight and I invited everybody and sold it out. And
(07:12):
that was like my very first time doing.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
That's from zo to a hundred, like literally, yeah, it
was just an opportunity that came about because, like with
the improv, I was working at Dominoes, and all my
people at Dominoes like, man, he's funny as hell.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
You out to meet Mike. Mike was the white dude
who was working there. He was the funny dude before
I got there, and he started this improv troop And
then I went in an audition for it and they
loved me and they put me in and we just
started like having these really dope shows. Like on improv,
you know, you do games, you get like suggestions from
the crowd. So I will always be the one to
go out and like night with the crowd while they
(07:48):
were setting up and doing you know, different little costume
changes and stuff like that. So then that kind of
parlayd until that one night we didn't have a show
and they was like the crowd loved you, you should
do your own thing. I was like, well, what is
that exactly? And it was like, just do whatever you want.
So sold it out and did whatever I wanted. You did?
Speaker 1 (08:07):
You put Okay, you know what, let's go to commercial.
We'll be right down with Carlos Miller.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
And we are back right here at the b Alert
Show Revolt TV.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
You know, BT.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Corlins Miller is in the building. You're just telling us
now how you had your own event Oxford, Mississippi. Yeah,
and did you plan? Did you plan anything when you
were going to.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
You play your extra strategy?
Speaker 4 (08:31):
Not really?
Speaker 3 (08:32):
So I did that night and then that's when I
started working as a firefighter, So it kind of like
clashed with.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
The sched and you were a firefighter I got I.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Started doing the firefighter like.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
Kind of shortly after that.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
It was because you needed now, because when you get
hired as a firefighter, it's like a six month hiring
process because you had to do like all these physical
exams and then they just randomly hit me and I
was like, yeah, you got the job.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
So I started working right after.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
I like my one man show type, so I kind
of had to go like my shift. I had to
be on call like for my shift, so it was
clashing with the show date. So that kind of it
was like as soon as it started, it stopped. So
after that, a couple of months as a firefighter, moved
in Atlanta. That's Transford. I lost the job, and then
(09:23):
I lost the job as a firefighter. Then I went
on the road driving trucks for a little bit, which
was very strange. And then I moved to Atlanta and
I was like, God, just get me off this truck
and I'll never get on the truck again. And then
I got off the truck in Atlanta. When Memphis got
my stuff came back, and I've just been in Atlanta
ever since.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Now, what did you do when you moved to Atlanta.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
I was in Atlanta probably three months before I started
doing comedy. Bro.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
I was selling phones at the mall.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Man Lets. You kept a job.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
There's something consistent in this whole story is you always
had some and you always had a job.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
I don't understand why dudes don't want a job, Bro,
you get money and meeting women every day, you just get.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
Up and do something. You gotta do something.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
If you don't mind asking which mall were you at?
Speaker 4 (10:11):
I was at Town Center Mall in Kennesas, Okay.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
Yeah, me and my boy, Clayton English was out there
working and uh we just started.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
Kicking it every day at work.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
And he actually started working at our kid when they
first open Atlantic. Yeah, but he never quit and they
would always ask me, Brudd, did he come to work?
And I ain't the type of person getting nobody else.
Yeah he was there, but I'm you know, man, I'm
just but he was getting checked me like four or
five months after we after he quit that job.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
So that's how me and him got.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
So he was getting paid at a job that he
already left, but they were checking y'all supervisors.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
Like yo, your boy working like yeah, you right here?
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Yeah? Why would I you know what I'm saying, y'all
figure it out.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
I'm not. I'm not the work snitch.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
It's a lot of those How we got like real
cool though, because he got all them checks and he
was like you was the one telling I'm like, yeah, bro,
you left me up there by myself left Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
So now we're going when you started exactly when did
the comedy opportunity happen in Atlanta?
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Man right on Tenth Street at Twisted Taco.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Ah.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Yeah, they had the dopest open mic in the city.
So we went down there probably about maybe three four,
like three weeks to a month, just trying to get
into rotation.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
But they showed was so dope. They had like.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
The comedians who were established, and they had like the
openings that they like, and then they had like the
amateurs that they liked. So it was kind of hard
to get into rotation. But once we got in there,
one show led to another show to another show. People
started turning us on the different spots and then learned
the game and went and got a couple of my
own rooms that I was hosting, and just like you know,
(11:47):
you know how the city is, so when you got
an event, you definitely can get Like if you can
fill up the strip club, they'll let you host something
at the Strip Club. So I start hosting a lot
of like amateur nights and uh hosted the Cametal contests
and the.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
Strip of Boxing And you.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Remember when they was doing the slap Slapper Chick contest.
I was hosting a lot of like all the like
Little Amateur Knights and the Strip Club got get your
Name Out.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
Yeah yeah, So I built.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
The following off of that actually, like the extra curriculum,
so that the money is starting to not the money
never came.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
It was just hustling. You know what I'm saying. You
just putting money some money.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
Yeah, but it ain't like I'm able to like stack up. No,
like at least your lights ain't cut off. I'm still
hustling type is Yeah every night, I gotta be there
type Yeah, you gotta do something.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
So when when you do improv, right, and improv is
like that, it's off scripted, like there's there's no when
people go do these improv like comedians do it, there's
like no script. They just going off the top of
the head like when they do it, or they already
had a set.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
Yeah, well it's not a set. But when you're doing improv,
it's just kind of like in the moment, creating a scenario.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
That's what makes it go.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
If you can't just do it proud without crowd to participation, God,
you get what I'm saying, Because they kind of they
kind of build the scene, So you kind of depending
on the crowd for like set up in the premise
and then as a comedian, you delivered the punchline and.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
You gotta be really quick on your toes as fast
as possible.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Yeah, because people can see the process. They know when
you you know what I mean, the people still sitting
in the front.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
If I'm going to an improv, I'm not sitting in
the front because I'm not about to sit down.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
You're roast. You ain't fun. Then those people who sit
in the front love comedy. A lot of those people
they like to be I love comedy too, Yes I do.
If you don't want to sit in the front, you.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Do because you have to be able to take a joke.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
Man. Listen.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
I went to a comedy show and I sat in
the back and they was roasting me, like, oh BC,
we see you way.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Back up, Like, don't roast me exactly, I don't have
a mic.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
You take the jump though.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
But a lot of people who sit like close to
the stage, they like that. Oh got yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
See I never knew that. I always I always wanted that.
That Like when I'm like when I see people accomplish it,
I'm like man, you just right here for rapid fire.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Okay, all right, So you're in Atlanta, you hustling, you're
doing things like that. When is when is the moment
happened that Carlos Miller starts making some money.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
I ain't making no money, bro, They still ain't happen.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Wait, so I see Netflix deal when I came to
La one Netflix show.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
You didn't see the deal?
Speaker 3 (14:28):
No, I'm just buching. I don't know the exact moment
that you know what I'm saying, because it's never like
somebody just hand you a big check. It's just you
just stack a few checks.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
When were you able to start stacking a few checks
where you're like, okay, I can breathe a little bit.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
I could put a little something back in the savings account.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
I always was doing that, Okay, you know what I mean.
It's just that, you know, you go from a little
bit with your money, is what you say. Yeah, that's
the first thing that you learn when you don't have
no money. Like, once you go all the way down
and your networth be negative, you start like once you
start getting anything, you start all right, putting something, start
being a little frugal putting something with some you know,
(15:11):
you gotta have a right here. You got Yeah, I'm frue.
It's good because you know that stuff don't mean nothing.
Just buying a bunch of clothes that you ain't gonna
wear next summer. So that's why I get all my
clothes free. Shout out the fashion over fast. That's what's appreciation,
that's what's up.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
They gave me nothing. You you probably ask them.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
I didn't know you had to ask.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
You got the follow them for it.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
I thought they just picked through they like I'm asking.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
I'm asking everybody. Somebody want to give me some free
shoes anything. Look, you just got to put in the universe.
Oh well, give me something free, send me some money.
I'm gonna influence.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
We got influence. This commercial break coming right down with
Carlos Miller on The Baller Show by Revolt. Ain't twn
What up?
Speaker 4 (15:51):
Hey, Welcome back to the Battle Alert podcast.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
I got to see you about Revolt brought to you
by Revolt. I got my player partners in the building
with us that I got Btn Ferri. So, guys, when
y'all started blowing up on this podcast making all this money, I.
Speaker 4 (16:09):
Would say, no, you did just get a new promotion.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
Though I did get a new promotion.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
He's the APD, yeah assist, the program director in Atlanta, Georgia.
I kind of so. When I had my job at
Warner Records, I enjoyed it, but it was I was
working at a record label and it was cool. But
radio was in my blood because I had What happened
was my contract was up at another radio station, so
I left and I went, I need I needed. I
(16:39):
had a six month nine compete. I was like, like you,
I was shoot, I didn't give music some money exactly.
I had got a job at Warner Records, and I
was the national director of Make Sure Promotion and Lifestyle,
and I learned a lot about the music industry, the
behind the scenes, how they view us, how they view
actors and everybody. I learn why artists get frustrated with
(17:02):
the label. I understand where the money is coming from,
you know. I understood everything. And I was just like, man,
you know what, I want to be an executive on
the radio side.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
It seems like now that radio is more about everything
except the music Now, I mean, I feel like that's everything,
even even.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
When back in the car. Now remember the pandemic messed
the radio up from.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
A lot of people, a lot of people all stay
jobs in that car.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
Yeah, but you got to keep in mind it's a
lot of people who had worked at the warehouse, riding
around on the fork lifts and you know, doing jobs
where they the radio is vital.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
That's your only look.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
People be forgetting that though, man, because like with the podcast,
I learned that we got a big audience of people
who got audios where they just can listen, they can't
watch it. Truck drivers they love to listen to the
audio and stuff like that.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
So I think a lot.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
Of people be forgetting those those markets. It's different.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
It's so many different markets that people like so consumed with,
just like content, and people don't understand that the average
person is driving to work listening to the radio station.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
Still.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
But the reason why the other things are important now
is because it's only it's not only one thing anymore.
So of course listening to radio could be one thing,
but what if you didn't listen that day?
Speaker 3 (18:18):
Yeah, but radio is the detriment to itself. They play
four songs, fifteen commercials every time. Every time they come
back from commercial they laughing they never tell us what
they laughing about. That's bad.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
That's a bad that's a bad show.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Thirty commercials interrupted radio, interrupting the radioy.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
But our show is not like that.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
That is a bad show because those are what's called
talent that alienates the listeners.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
If I'm laughing about something, I'm gonna.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Tell you, even if it's even if it's some stuff
I shouldn't be talking about, I'm gonna tell you what
we were just laughing about.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
You're gonna be like we treat our listeners like the celebrities.
So our listeners or are the celebrities to our show?
They call it a lot.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
They still give away stuff on the radio.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
We just we just gave away Beyonce tickets, Chris Brown tickets,
and the weekend tickets.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Yeah tickets, I'm gonna get y'all made itself tickets.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Not for real.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
First of all, we could do a whole eighty five,
Soyle takeover.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
Who We need y'all to come to the show and
do a live.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Whatever you want?
Speaker 3 (19:17):
A bet? I like that.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Now back to you, mister Carlos.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
I want to talk about this Netflix deal.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Because I like the pocket watch sometimes, you know, and
I was like, I was driving in LA and I
saw y'all billboards and I was like, what the helly I.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
Said they getting y'all.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Y'all really motivate me a lot because I see the
things that you guys do, and I've seen how y'all
just build it the ground, just brick by brick.
Speaker 4 (19:44):
Now, did y'all get.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
That Netflix deal grinding manduring the pandemic or not doing
the pandemic? But that's when we got a lot of
people actually watching the show. So we started posting these
live shows like prior to Genius, like the live shows.
The numbers were going crazy, and Netflix was like, we
want some of that, and they hit us, and then
(20:08):
we had to get together and try to put something
together that would work for the platform and pull it off.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Now you DC, Chico, how did you guys.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
Link wilding Out? Okay, wilding Out bro So me and
Chico we got it. We came in Wilding Out season five.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
And he still got the little hair back there receiving hairline.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
Yeah, he's still he still got it, and he's still
braided up.
Speaker 4 (20:35):
Yeah, at least he can still get braided. Because some
people in their hairline go they can't even get no braid.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Like back here, his hairline has went.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
He can still get braids.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
His brains start back here.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
It don't maut it.
Speaker 3 (20:45):
He got braid.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Some people listen, He blessed to be able to even
put something together back there, because some people in it
with nothing.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
So you can't grow any hair. Pause.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
Yeah, of course, okay, of course, it's just it's just
I don't think that this is gonna look proper time
growing out. I've been balled this long while. Wait, how
long have you been bald? That's not a pause?
Speaker 4 (21:10):
Eight or ten years or something like that. Oh yeah,
but at least you said, all right, did you cry
when you have to do it?
Speaker 3 (21:18):
When you are my dad Ball?
Speaker 4 (21:20):
He used to tell me all the time. Ball one day.
Oh so it was already prepared.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
Yeah, okay, it's genetically balked. But like you said, we
started in season five, and then DC came.
Speaker 4 (21:32):
In season seven. She goes already my dog.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
And then DC did an interview and he told him
that I was one of his favorite comedians, and then
we linked up, and then a couple of months later
he got invited to wild'n Out season seven. So he
was always like the wild, crazy one, like you know,
a little brother for very long I'm saying. So he
was the one, and it was just dope just to
(21:56):
see him go from the like literally from the streets
to TV. And he was just like, you know what
I mean, he's still liked that, Like he's still in
the moment. So yeah, he when we got there, he
was like, oh, you ain't messing with me no more.
Now with your real friends, like bro, And he's just
every time we got together, we would just have these conversations,
(22:16):
these powerows. Was just make each other laugh. So I
was like, bro, we got to put this on something.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
And they went, where did where did eighty five South
come from?
Speaker 4 (22:25):
From the city of Atlanta? Bro, you know what I.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Mean, just because I know she goes from DC.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
Yeah, okay, but eighty five South Me and DC started
the podcast, so we just, you know, we're just kind
of looking for a metaphor see how eighty five just
kind of like run through the city. And he's like, man,
we're gonna take this on the road. We're gonna run
through every city that we go to. And it was
like eighty five South, We're running through the city, like
eighty five self and it just kind of stuck.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Well, we're gonna hold that right there. We're gonna talk
about eighty five South and beyond when we come back
with the Ball Show. Carlos Ball Alert, Yo, Revolt, what up?
And we are back on the Ball Alert Show, brought
to you by a Revolt Carlos Millers in the building.
We was talking about eighty five South the podcast. Yeah,
but I want to talk about when you took Did
you guys take eighty five South on the road?
Speaker 4 (23:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (23:11):
Okay, But see, we started small and then we went big.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
Like we started with a small club venue.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
It's like, let's see if it can work in the club,
and then we kind of moved from the clubs to
the theaters and then from the theaters to the arenas,
you know, so we kind of like built it out now.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
Man. First of all, y'all show is just amazing and
it's fully improv Yeah right, yeah, so y'all don't plan nothing,
y'all just go out there. Y'all had a little music
playing in.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
The back rod. But that's that. We got to credit
the audience for that because they smart enough to know
the difference, because they follow us. They know when we
don't wilding out about where the line is the lines
that we can't cross. And they've seen us be scripted,
they've seen us work in different capacity, so when they
see us live, they want us he was wrong. Now,
I ain't gonna lie.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
When I saw Rick Ross walk out, I thought that
was fake. Why because I thought it was a setup.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
Now that's that's improv at his finance, you don't you
don't know what's gonna happen. But if you think about it,
like it just it totally fits his character. I wouldn't
have it no other way because it's just I loved it.
It's still mysterious. Ever come back on the show, I
want him to wear the exact same thing and just
act like he just you know what I mean. It's
just a part too lingering.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
I would say. One of my favorite moments is when
DC got on the Young Ladies Electric schoo.
Speaker 4 (24:37):
Single.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Yeah, Bro, I just don't I be over here like
y'all are some damn fools, bro.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
Yeah bro, we don't have no control over this. We
have some like our fan base is wow wow wow,
like we were getting ready. Like at the end of
the show. We always take a picture like with the
crowd in the audience. Man, somebody threw a prosthetic leg
on stage, like put my leg in the And there
was this lady. She come to all the shows and
(25:03):
she got like this little little like claw, but she
always be like, don't be talking about me. And it's
just like, it's so much love, man, because we don't
never alien aint nobody and make.
Speaker 4 (25:14):
Them feel crazy.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
Like we got people who come to the shows with handicaps,
we got people with little baby legs who love us.
We got fans all over the place. And then people
be like, man, you shouldn't be making front of them people.
But then we do the meet and greet, and these
people will come up and be like, man, ain't.
Speaker 4 (25:30):
Say nothing about us, Like are they?
Speaker 3 (25:34):
These are the people who laugh at stuff like that,
who don't want you to feel sorry for him, who
don't want to be feeling left out, or like you
can't say nothing to him, like, bro, we've heard some
of the funniest stuff just from the people in the crowd.
Now had one show, this dude found out that his
baby mama was sleeping with his other baby mama baby daddy,
(25:55):
So to get some get back, he slept with the dude,
wife damn bro. So they kind of like did like
a wife trade at the show. You got to he said,
you want to go left? Pull it up?
Speaker 4 (26:07):
It was crazy.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
Y'all had one show, correct me from in Atlanta. Bridge
on the Kwan came.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
Out most definitely was performed on the Netflix.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Okay, yeah, that was just that was a dope moment.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
And he came, I think to the Fox when we
were at the Fox. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
So we always try to get somebody to come, like
when we're in Atlanta to come and you know, bless
the stage or something like that. I want to get
a Lotto on there. Okay, I want to do the
interview with Lotto?
Speaker 1 (26:30):
What what? What are some times when y'all probably was like, man,
this crowd won't really feeling us the dyke y'all ever
have that?
Speaker 3 (26:37):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Sometimes I've never seen even when y'all go to New
York because they said New York when you when they go, like.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
Everybody else New York love us, bro. You think I'm
exaggerating when I said that, we probably the only people
who have performed four live shows in a rope like
in a day at the Apollo. Yeah, New York show
us much love. So I can't ain't been nowhere that
ain't showed us little?
Speaker 1 (27:02):
Do you guys? Do you feel like you guys have
more to accomplish as a team?
Speaker 3 (27:09):
Absolutely? Okay, just the beginning.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
And what would that look like as as something more
to accomplish for the eighty five South.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
Show, more TV and more movies. Yeah, that's the next
play to get into the movie game. Now, did y'all
tell Netflix? Like, man, we're trying to re up. That's
the thing about it. It ain't really a Netflix to tell.
It's a company. But it ain't like you could just
call Netflix. Yeah, don't call us.
Speaker 4 (27:34):
We'll say, okay, now we get a little closer to okay.
But you know one thing.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
Ever since then, like they gave us, they rolled it
out for us. We could go to the office, we
can talk to the head of Netflix and it's just like, hey,
what y'all got going on with y'all? Are y'all interested
in doing some of these type of shows or we'll
consider you.
Speaker 4 (27:53):
We'll put you in touch with the people.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
But you know, just nothing has materialized, but they left
the door open. Definitely interested in working with them in
any you know, other capacity. What's your favorite city to
go to. I don't know if we necessarily have a favorite,
because you I feel like every comedian has they they like,
I know when I go to this city.
Speaker 4 (28:12):
Thing about it.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
If you go watch any of the live shows, like
every city that we go to, and they see that
this city showing.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Us love, I'll do it. Through the colleges, they be
a little bit more turned though.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
Right because the little kids have been watching us in
six seventh grade and this is probably their first comedy show,
especially like the first live show, so they just experiencing
it as they saw it.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Yeah, because I feel like I forgot where y'all was at.
Y'all did a homecomings?
Speaker 3 (28:43):
You or family? I watch out like fifteen thousand people there,
fifteen thousand people I'm talking.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
About, Bro, homecoming had to capacity.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
Bro.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Yeah, you'll go through a whole You'll go down a
whole rabbit hole watching the YouTube page because it's just
so organically funny.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
I always I always watch all interviews that I was
just sitting on the couch, y'all.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
Just hi, y'all, just like just say, I feel like
that's a different layer to the show though, Yes, that
that the podcast in the studio and the live show
is worlds apart for sure.
Speaker 4 (29:16):
Yeah, that's just the trap.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
Episodes in the studio is that's just in between laves.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
Do you guys do that kind of just you know,
because you should do because do you prefer to do
the live show versus the sit down and have a
set type of thing.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
Well, see, I think it's about fifty to fifty like
the live show, like without the the podcast.
Speaker 4 (29:41):
Like the podcast, fuse the live show.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
That's what makes people tune in and be like, all right, man,
I'm gonna come see on when they come.
Speaker 4 (29:48):
So it's kind of like.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
One hand watches the other like the podcast promotes the
live show.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Now, do you do you feel like in this generation
it's like a lot harder to be a comedian.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
You gotta know what not to cross the line.
Speaker 3 (30:03):
That's the that's the best part about being a comedian.
It's figuring out how to cross the line. Yeah, why
would you play it safe? You can as a consumer
when you watch somebody even be like I ain't really
go all no, you had to do it big. Don't
(30:24):
play it safe, because that's where your creativity comes in.
How can you creatively cross the line? Because there's a
there's a difference in between being creative and being I'm
seeing or explicit. They don't always have to be offensive
creatively across the line.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
You know what I'm saying, You get you give them
some gyms because I feel like a lot of comedians
now they're so afraid to like even like I watched
some people concentsration.
Speaker 4 (30:50):
I like, I'll be like, man, they they afraid.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
To like, go go.
Speaker 4 (30:55):
I can tell they afraid to go to the next level.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
But see, that's just like what you're saying earlier about
with the music though. It's like there are comedians who
aren't afraid, but they're not they're not as notable as
the ones that you're getting to watch. You kind of
gotta go find the ones that you want to see. Yeah,
it's definitely some lane crosses out there, habitual line steppers.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
Okay, let's habitually go to commercial? Uh. The Revolt episode
of The Ball Alert Show with Carlos Miller coming right back.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
Yeah, and we are back right here Revolt TV, Ball
Alert Show Man. We over here just talking about everything comedy,
what lies.
Speaker 4 (31:34):
The cross and what not, The Crossross.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
All the land, Carlos Miller is in the building now
not to get too personal one time for Keisha with
the Faith Project.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
Set that up like that they don't get too personal
and then shut out to shout that what you said
it does make himself like Keisha was like her over
like you're still I don't want to get in your shot.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
The Faith Project is part of the segments called the
Mental Health Check is how how is Carlos Biller's mental
health and how do you strengthen it or keep it
strength strong? I don't know. You know what I try

Speaker 4 (32:56):
What do I see you?
Speaker 3 (32:58):
He always he always chilled. Every day he seen me
was out of the.
Speaker 4 (33:06):
Bro. I beat the game.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
Man. I get to live my dreams every day. I
get to get up and do whatever I want to do. Man.
I get to go to the livest places, have the
dopest shows, kick it with the dopest people, hang around
beautiful women, eat good food, travel the world, buy whatever
I want. Bruh.
Speaker 4 (33:24):
Life is good.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
Life is good. And it's not because somebody gave it
to me or gave me a handout, or hit me
a lick or let me open for him or nothing.
But I just just purely off the ground. Yeah, so
my mental health is good to that. And you know,
but life happens. You have moments where you gotta you know,
where you gotta go and get yourself together. Ain't nothing
wrong with that, bro. A lot of fellas don't don't
(33:47):
want to admit it. Life will hurt you, man. It's
a lot of things out here that will break your heart.
So I try to smile and laugh as much as
I can because you're gonna cry at some point. It
ain't nothing wrong with that. That don't mean you're a
weak man or you weird or nothing like that. Hey man,
you gotta have emotions, like a lot of dudes. Try
to be tough all day every day. You mean to
tell me you don't love your grandma, your little niece,
(34:09):

just tough all day every day. Come on, bro, those
are what we call crash outs. They don't have that's
those are the people who those the people that need
to go cry.
Speaker 4 (34:19):
They don't have no value system.
Speaker 3 (34:21):
Yeah, when they crash out because you, you're gonna put
the whole family in danger because you're trying to prove
a point. Ain't nobody got no money to keep coming
fixing your mistakes or bailing you out or putting the
house up. And you and you know you can't beat
this charge. You know what I'm saying, Like, Bro, you
gotta think about it. It's it's people who love you
that's gonna have to face the consequences of your actions
(34:43):
with you. You know what I'm saying. You don't want to
You don't want to break your mama heart. You don't
want to see your family sitting there like just you
don't want that, bro.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
Yeah, I appreciate that one. All right. Well, I know
you was on Shannon Sharp's episode that was fire.
Speaker 3 (34:58):
That was a good episode. This bro, what are you
going with this?
Speaker 1 (35:04):
I just saw it. I just saw you.
Speaker 4 (35:08):
I forgot I forgot about that was going on all
about that.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
I was just gonna lead to I just thought it
was dope to see you in a different light when
you were having a good conversation with the Brothers Channel Sharp,
so we wanted to bring you on ball alert a
similar good.
Speaker 3 (35:25):
That's why I've been touching different platforms because I think
a lot of people think I'm a certain kind of way.
Speaker 4 (35:30):
They don't understand, like, bro, you.
Speaker 3 (35:32):
Know, like when you going to a party like party,
you ain't.
Speaker 4 (35:36):
Ain't to you that show up to work.
Speaker 3 (35:38):
So I've been wanting to hit different platforms and talk
about different stuff just so they can see that I'm
not just one dimensional. Definitely have some sense, Definitely not heartless,
Definitely gonna cross the land, Definitely gonna talk my ship
everywhere I go, even though they said I can't say ship.
Speaker 4 (35:54):
Bleed it.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
Why you got all these editors, they don't know how
to bleep? Now? You have so many things with the team.
What about Carlos Miller the solo act. What about Carlos
Miller the solo comedian?
Speaker 4 (36:12):
Right, this is the thing about it.
Speaker 3 (36:13):
When it comes to eighty five South show, I created it, right,
So it's my brand, it's my entity. So even when
I am solo I'm still gonna bring mine. I own it.
It's my idea. Why would I ever want to disassociate
myself from something I created? Jay Z, don't just go
drop an album and don't put Rockefeller on it. This
(36:33):
branding it's me. So I'm gonna take the good with
the bad. But I do tour solo, I do club shows,
I do my own tour.
Speaker 4 (36:43):
I'm just building.
Speaker 3 (36:45):
So everywhere I go, you're gonna see that eighty five
South because that's my brandy.
Speaker 2 (36:49):
Because you definitely my building. Put your brand out, that's
my label. Every time you see me, you're gonna see
something eighty five. So yeah, that's what we're doing promoting
the app.

You don't have to be technically, you guys are y'all. Y'all,
we're not acting.
Speaker 2 (38:20):
You guys are the standard though, But you know how
it is, like sometimes you meet certain people that you're
a fan of and then they're not the person that
you think they.
Speaker 3 (38:28):
Think they are.
Speaker 2 (38:29):
Yeah, you know what I mean, Like you'll be excited
to see somebody and like many you know what.
Speaker 4 (38:36):
I met somebody when we were in l A.
Speaker 2 (38:38):
And I was excited to see that person because I
love they content and I and the interaction was just like, Okay,
I should start streaming cause I should start exposing these
people that think they're bigger than they.
Speaker 3 (38:50):
Keep in mind, some people are really good at their talent,
they're not good at the social side. Up, Yeah they're not.
Like you know, some people get social anxiety or they
can go in the room and create the dopest show,
but to have to deal with five thousand, ten thousand
people that kind of make them you know what I'm saying, understand.
Speaker 4 (39:09):
Yeah, to give them a little grace.
Speaker 3 (39:11):
No, man, they gotta stop acting.
Speaker 4 (39:12):
Go like sometimes that's that's.
Speaker 3 (39:15):
That's not the act. That's the real The act is
what you from like watching so you well, you know,
you ste around long enough, you start to notice sometimes
you you ain't gonna get the person you want to
meet the first time or the first couple of times.
They kind of got warm up to you.
Speaker 2 (39:33):
But I always tell people like the like when I
meet people in the interactions changed.
Speaker 3 (39:38):
I'm like, man, you know when I first.
Speaker 4 (39:39):
Met you, you was acting like this, and the day
they be.

Like then they give you the backstory and they act
like they don't remember. But they act like they don't remember,
or they give you a backstory.
Speaker 2 (39:48):
It's like, oh, man, I was going through this at
the time, so you you you're right. You do have
to give people grace. But something some people you would
meet them, I'm like, man, this person is too crazy.
Speaker 3 (39:56):
Like people changed to that's just very trumba will make
some had it turned to a whole nother person.

he was in the middle. I could you.
Speaker 1 (00:44):

Speaker 1 (01:10):
First of all, get really cold at night. Yeah, just
put a hoodie on, no mess up my little on
a T shirt.

because like you gotta have you gotta have at least
two outfits for the day. You got your day fit,
and you definitely gotta have some sweats on. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
They need to do something with the pollution because what
I what I realize is that in the morning the
sun comes out a little bit later than in Atlanta
because that's not clouds, that's small. So it's like when
everybody at work, then the sun actually comes out.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Yeah. Well they got a lot going on right now.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
There. Yeah, and it was prid weekend, so it's people

Somebody got there. Hollywood star. I said, this is the
only time they clean the street. That's the only.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
Time they cleaned that Hollywood Walk of Fame street.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
But those stars are like randomly all over the city.
It was it was just like a long but everywhere.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
I didn't know that everywhere random streets too.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Man, it'd be so much going on. But I but
you know one thing I do like about it, like
is the weather number one? Number two? The food they
got some of the best.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Know they don't that's a lie.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
You don't eat the burritos out to see. I love
tacos and burritos and stuff like that. So like all
the other stuff where people be like, oh, they ain't
got no good soul for that.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
I don't know nothing about that they do.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
But you got.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
My wife was asking me, how was it going.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
I was, You're gonna find a way to tell you
about their wife. Bro, you just knew we didn't have
a wife and you wanted to flex on it. Man,
she's not here right now. Yeah, in spirit.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Anyway, Carlos Man, what's up my brother?
Speaker 3 (03:02):
No finished about your wife? Go ahead?
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Oh yeah, you know I love you Tennisian.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
She sounds abusive.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Her name.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
That let us know, right she packed punch. She's never
hit me.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
But you know what she's capable of.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
I know she's capable. Yeah, she's a she's an extraordinary woman.
There you where's Colins Miller from Oxford, Mississippi? From the
from the Sip and what I kind of want to
I really want to get make this episode about you brother,
and like your flowers first and foremost.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
One of the.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Funniest people I know. Appreciate it, Bro, But you're like,
I call it organic funny and he's unfiltered. Yeah, but
like you're very naturally funny. I can tell when you're
doing your comedy you're being yourself.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Yeah, correct me if I'm wrong. No, you're definitely right
because I approach comedy from the viewpoint of a fan
of comedy.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
You get what I'm saying. So that's who you are?
Was that who you were growing up? Were you naturally
the funny guy or the comedic person of the family.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
Like when people like, man, what do you do, I'm like,
I never looked at comedy as a job. You know
what I'm saying. This was just like my passion project.
I knew I didn't want a job. I didn't want
to go to work every day because even when I
was like working and in the workforce, I was just
find shit to do at work that just was entertaining.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
What were you working?
Speaker 3 (04:33):
I've worked everywhere, Bro, I've had it.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
What's some jobs?
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Your jobs?
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Man?
Speaker 3 (04:37):
I used to sell shoes, cookies, I worked at the
mall Spider, you know, the cookie spot at the mall.
I was the manager at lid. It was a firefighter.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
You were a manager at lids at a firefighter.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Not at the same time, but I was like that
that would be.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Being a firefighter is like like you had you got
to take tests and stuff.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Yeah, a lot of tests go through some like to
fire academy. Yeah, that's where I lost the job. Like
some racist shit happened at the fire academy.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Tried out the courage.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
Well that's what it was, though.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Some racist stuff went down at the Fire Academy Mississippi.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
Yeah, are you surprised?
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Nah? I was the way that they played it though,
because they tried to flip it like it was me
being racist to the white dudes, but it was.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
We was out numbered in the class twenty to five.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Damn.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Sounds about right, and I was the only NAT turner.
The rest of them was damned the embarrassing to the
black community. I won't even speak on them, but they
were some cowards. Wow.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Yeah, So how was it growing up in Mississippi like Oxford, Mississippi.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Yeah, Well, if you don't know what Oxford is, that's
where Old miss is. Home of the Old Missus. So
we got a big college town, big college population now,
so the Old Missus like in the middle of the
city and then everything else around that is Oxford.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
So it was always interesting.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
There was always a lot of little hustles and schemes
and plots that you.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Could come up on, like you know, a little money
to get. So we was just there was a lot
of hustlers around there. But you know, we were doing
like selling drugs, but they got that. But we always
had a little a little hustle, a little scheme, a
little plotter was running. Yeah, Like we would go to
the Old miss games and like sell Cox Game.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
T shirts and stuff.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Especially for it, like the tailgaters, I mean I had homeboys.
He used to go make two three thousand dollars a
weekend just setting up and breaking down tents. So we
was just always about getting some bread and.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Oh, now as this is happening, are you trying to
be a comedian?
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Now? Yet? None of this is happening in Mississippi at
this point. So my introduction of comedy was I was
I joined the improv group.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
First.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
I was doing improv in Mississippi and Mississippi so like
in between our improv setups, I would just go out
entertain the crowd a little bit. That turned from two
minutes to five minutes to ten, and one night we
didn't have an improv show, but the venue like, hey,
if you want to come and do your thing. I
didn't even have a thing. They just gave me a
knight and I invited everybody and sold it out. And
(07:12):
that was like my very first time doing.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
That's from zo to a hundred, like literally, yeah, it
was just an opportunity that came about because, like with
the improv, I was working at Dominoes, and all my
people at Dominoes like, man, he's funny as hell.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
You out to meet Mike. Mike was the white dude
who was working there. He was the funny dude before
I got there, and he started this improv troop And
then I went in an audition for it and they
loved me and they put me in and we just
started like having these really dope shows. Like on improv,
you know, you do games, you get like suggestions from
the crowd. So I will always be the one to
go out and like night with the crowd while they
(07:48):
were setting up and doing you know, different little costume
changes and stuff like that. So then that kind of
parlayd until that one night we didn't have a show
and they was like the crowd loved you, you should
do your own thing. I was like, well, what is
that exactly? And it was like, just do whatever you want.
So sold it out and did whatever I wanted. You did?
Speaker 1 (08:07):
You put Okay, you know what, let's go to commercial.
We'll be right down with Carlos Miller.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
And we are back right here at the b Alert
Show Revolt TV.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
You know, BT.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Corlins Miller is in the building. You're just telling us
now how you had your own event Oxford, Mississippi. Yeah,
and did you plan? Did you plan anything when you
were going to.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
You play your extra strategy?
Speaker 4 (08:31):
Not really?
Speaker 3 (08:32):
So I did that night and then that's when I
started working as a firefighter, So it kind of like
clashed with.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
The sched and you were a firefighter I got I.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Started doing the firefighter like.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
Kind of shortly after that.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
It was because you needed now, because when you get
hired as a firefighter, it's like a six month hiring
process because you had to do like all these physical
exams and then they just randomly hit me and I
was like, yeah, you got the job.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
So I started working right after.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
I like my one man show type, so I kind
of had to go like my shift. I had to
be on call like for my shift, so it was
clashing with the show date. So that kind of it
was like as soon as it started, it stopped. So
after that, a couple of months as a firefighter, moved
in Atlanta. That's Transford. I lost the job, and then
(09:23):
I lost the job as a firefighter. Then I went
on the road driving trucks for a little bit, which
was very strange. And then I moved to Atlanta and
I was like, God, just get me off this truck
and I'll never get on the truck again. And then
I got off the truck in Atlanta. When Memphis got
my stuff came back, and I've just been in Atlanta
ever since.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Now, what did you do when you moved to Atlanta.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
I was in Atlanta probably three months before I started
doing comedy. Bro.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
I was selling phones at the mall.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Man Lets. You kept a job.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
There's something consistent in this whole story is you always
had some and you always had a job.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
I don't understand why dudes don't want a job, Bro,
you get money and meeting women every day, you just get.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
Up and do something. You gotta do something.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
If you don't mind asking which mall were you at?
Speaker 4 (10:11):
I was at Town Center Mall in Kennesas, Okay.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
Yeah, me and my boy, Clayton English was out there
working and uh we just started.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
Kicking it every day at work.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
And he actually started working at our kid when they
first open Atlantic. Yeah, but he never quit and they
would always ask me, Brudd, did he come to work?
And I ain't the type of person getting nobody else.
Yeah he was there, but I'm you know, man, I'm
just but he was getting checked me like four or
five months after we after he quit that job.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
So that's how me and him got.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
So he was getting paid at a job that he
already left, but they were checking y'all supervisors.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
Like yo, your boy working like yeah, you right here?
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Yeah? Why would I you know what I'm saying, y'all
figure it out.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
I'm not. I'm not the work snitch.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
It's a lot of those How we got like real
cool though, because he got all them checks and he
was like you was the one telling I'm like, yeah, bro,
you left me up there by myself left Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
So now we're going when you started exactly when did
the comedy opportunity happen in Atlanta?
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Man right on Tenth Street at Twisted Taco.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Ah.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Yeah, they had the dopest open mic in the city.
So we went down there probably about maybe three four,
like three weeks to a month, just trying to get
into rotation.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
But they showed was so dope. They had like.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
The comedians who were established, and they had like the
openings that they like, and then they had like the
amateurs that they liked. So it was kind of hard
to get into rotation. But once we got in there,
one show led to another show to another show. People
started turning us on the different spots and then learned
the game and went and got a couple of my
own rooms that I was hosting, and just like you know,
(11:47):
you know how the city is, so when you got
an event, you definitely can get Like if you can
fill up the strip club, they'll let you host something
at the Strip Club. So I start hosting a lot
of like amateur nights and uh hosted the Cametal contests
and the.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
Strip of Boxing And you.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Remember when they was doing the slap Slapper Chick contest.
I was hosting a lot of like all the like
Little Amateur Knights and the Strip Club got get your
Name Out.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
Yeah yeah, So I built.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
The following off of that actually, like the extra curriculum,
so that the money is starting to not the money
never came.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
It was just hustling. You know what I'm saying. You
just putting money some money.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
Yeah, but it ain't like I'm able to like stack up. No,
like at least your lights ain't cut off. I'm still
hustling type is Yeah every night, I gotta be there
type Yeah, you gotta do something.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
So when when you do improv, right, and improv is
like that, it's off scripted, like there's there's no when
people go do these improv like comedians do it, there's
like no script. They just going off the top of
the head like when they do it, or they already
had a set.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
Yeah, well it's not a set. But when you're doing improv,
it's just kind of like in the moment, creating a scenario.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
That's what makes it go.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
If you can't just do it proud without crowd to participation, God,
you get what I'm saying, Because they kind of they
kind of build the scene, So you kind of depending
on the crowd for like set up in the premise
and then as a comedian, you delivered the punchline and.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
You gotta be really quick on your toes as fast
as possible.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Yeah, because people can see the process. They know when
you you know what I mean, the people still sitting
in the front.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
If I'm going to an improv, I'm not sitting in
the front because I'm not about to sit down.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
You're roast. You ain't fun. Then those people who sit
in the front love comedy. A lot of those people
they like to be I love comedy too, Yes I do.
If you don't want to sit in the front, you.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Do because you have to be able to take a joke.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
Man. Listen.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
I went to a comedy show and I sat in
the back and they was roasting me, like, oh BC,
we see you way.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Back up, Like, don't roast me exactly, I don't have
a mic.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
You take the jump though.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
But a lot of people who sit like close to
the stage, they like that. Oh got yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
See I never knew that. I always I always wanted that.
That Like when I'm like when I see people accomplish it,
I'm like man, you just right here for rapid fire.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Okay, all right, So you're in Atlanta, you hustling, you're
doing things like that. When is when is the moment
happened that Carlos Miller starts making some money.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
I ain't making no money, bro, They still ain't happen.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Wait, so I see Netflix deal when I came to
La one Netflix show.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
You didn't see the deal?
Speaker 3 (14:28):
No, I'm just buching. I don't know the exact moment
that you know what I'm saying, because it's never like
somebody just hand you a big check. It's just you
just stack a few checks.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
When were you able to start stacking a few checks
where you're like, okay, I can breathe a little bit.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
I could put a little something back in the savings account.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
I always was doing that, Okay, you know what I mean.
It's just that, you know, you go from a little
bit with your money, is what you say. Yeah, that's
the first thing that you learn when you don't have
no money. Like, once you go all the way down
and your networth be negative, you start like once you
start getting anything, you start all right, putting something, start
being a little frugal putting something with some you know,
(15:11):
you gotta have a right here. You got Yeah, I'm frue.
It's good because you know that stuff don't mean nothing.
Just buying a bunch of clothes that you ain't gonna
wear next summer. So that's why I get all my
clothes free. Shout out the fashion over fast. That's what's appreciation,
that's what's up.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
They gave me nothing. You you probably ask them.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
I didn't know you had to ask.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
You got the follow them for it.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
I thought they just picked through they like I'm asking.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
I'm asking everybody. Somebody want to give me some free
shoes anything. Look, you just got to put in the universe.
Oh well, give me something free, send me some money.
I'm gonna influence.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
We got influence. This commercial break coming right down with
Carlos Miller on The Baller Show by Revolt. Ain't twn
What up?
Speaker 4 (15:51):
Hey, Welcome back to the Battle Alert podcast.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
I got to see you about Revolt brought to you
by Revolt. I got my player partners in the building
with us that I got Btn Ferri. So, guys, when
y'all started blowing up on this podcast making all this money, I.
Speaker 4 (16:09):
Would say, no, you did just get a new promotion.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
Though I did get a new promotion.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
He's the APD, yeah assist, the program director in Atlanta, Georgia.
I kind of so. When I had my job at
Warner Records, I enjoyed it, but it was I was
working at a record label and it was cool. But
radio was in my blood because I had What happened
was my contract was up at another radio station, so
I left and I went, I need I needed. I
(16:39):
had a six month nine compete. I was like, like you,
I was shoot, I didn't give music some money exactly.
I had got a job at Warner Records, and I
was the national director of Make Sure Promotion and Lifestyle,
and I learned a lot about the music industry, the
behind the scenes, how they view us, how they view
actors and everybody. I learn why artists get frustrated with
(17:02):
the label. I understand where the money is coming from,
you know. I understood everything. And I was just like, man,
you know what, I want to be an executive on
the radio side.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
It seems like now that radio is more about everything
except the music Now, I mean, I feel like that's everything,
even even.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
When back in the car. Now remember the pandemic messed
the radio up from.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
A lot of people, a lot of people all stay
jobs in that car.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
Yeah, but you got to keep in mind it's a
lot of people who had worked at the warehouse, riding
around on the fork lifts and you know, doing jobs
where they the radio is vital.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
That's your only look.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
People be forgetting that though, man, because like with the podcast,
I learned that we got a big audience of people
who got audios where they just can listen, they can't
watch it. Truck drivers they love to listen to the
audio and stuff like that.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
So I think a lot.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
Of people be forgetting those those markets. It's different.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
It's so many different markets that people like so consumed with,
just like content, and people don't understand that the average
person is driving to work listening to the radio station.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
Still.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
But the reason why the other things are important now
is because it's only it's not only one thing anymore.
So of course listening to radio could be one thing,
but what if you didn't listen that day?
Speaker 3 (18:18):
Yeah, but radio is the detriment to itself. They play
four songs, fifteen commercials every time. Every time they come
back from commercial they laughing they never tell us what
they laughing about. That's bad.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
That's a bad that's a bad show.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Thirty commercials interrupted radio, interrupting the radioy.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
But our show is not like that.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
That is a bad show because those are what's called
talent that alienates the listeners.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
If I'm laughing about something, I'm gonna.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Tell you, even if it's even if it's some stuff
I shouldn't be talking about, I'm gonna tell you what
we were just laughing about.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
You're gonna be like we treat our listeners like the celebrities.
So our listeners or are the celebrities to our show?
They call it a lot.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
They still give away stuff on the radio.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
We just we just gave away Beyonce tickets, Chris Brown tickets,
and the weekend tickets.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Yeah tickets, I'm gonna get y'all made itself tickets.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Not for real.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
First of all, we could do a whole eighty five,
Soyle takeover.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
Who We need y'all to come to the show and
do a live.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Whatever you want?
Speaker 3 (19:17):
A bet? I like that.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Now back to you, mister Carlos.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
I want to talk about this Netflix deal.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Because I like the pocket watch sometimes, you know, and
I was like, I was driving in LA and I
saw y'all billboards and I was like, what the helly I.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
Said they getting y'all.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Y'all really motivate me a lot because I see the
things that you guys do, and I've seen how y'all
just build it the ground, just brick by brick.
Speaker 4 (19:44):
Now, did y'all get.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
That Netflix deal grinding manduring the pandemic or not doing
the pandemic? But that's when we got a lot of
people actually watching the show. So we started posting these
live shows like prior to Genius, like the live shows.
The numbers were going crazy, and Netflix was like, we
want some of that, and they hit us, and then
(20:08):
we had to get together and try to put something
together that would work for the platform and pull it off.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Now you DC, Chico, how did you guys.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
Link wilding Out? Okay, wilding Out bro So me and
Chico we got it. We came in Wilding Out season five.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
And he still got the little hair back there receiving hairline.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
Yeah, he's still he still got it, and he's still
braided up.
Speaker 4 (20:35):
Yeah, at least he can still get braided. Because some
people in their hairline go they can't even get no braid.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Like back here, his hairline has went.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
He can still get braids.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
His brains start back here.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
It don't maut it.
Speaker 3 (20:45):
He got braid.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Some people listen, He blessed to be able to even
put something together back there, because some people in it
with nothing.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
So you can't grow any hair. Pause.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
Yeah, of course, okay, of course, it's just it's just
I don't think that this is gonna look proper time
growing out. I've been balled this long while. Wait, how
long have you been bald? That's not a pause?
Speaker 4 (21:10):
Eight or ten years or something like that. Oh yeah,
but at least you said, all right, did you cry
when you have to do it?
Speaker 3 (21:18):
When you are my dad Ball?
Speaker 4 (21:20):
He used to tell me all the time. Ball one day.
Oh so it was already prepared.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
Yeah, okay, it's genetically balked. But like you said, we
started in season five, and then DC came.
Speaker 4 (21:32):
In season seven. She goes already my dog.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
And then DC did an interview and he told him
that I was one of his favorite comedians, and then
we linked up, and then a couple of months later
he got invited to wild'n Out season seven. So he
was always like the wild, crazy one, like you know,
a little brother for very long I'm saying. So he
was the one, and it was just dope just to
(21:56):
see him go from the like literally from the streets
to TV. And he was just like, you know what
I mean, he's still liked that, Like he's still in
the moment. So yeah, he when we got there, he
was like, oh, you ain't messing with me no more.
Now with your real friends, like bro, And he's just
every time we got together, we would just have these conversations,
(22:16):
these powerows. Was just make each other laugh. So I
was like, bro, we got to put this on something.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
And they went, where did where did eighty five South
come from?
Speaker 4 (22:25):
From the city of Atlanta? Bro, you know what I.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Mean, just because I know she goes from DC.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
Yeah, okay, but eighty five South Me and DC started
the podcast, so we just, you know, we're just kind
of looking for a metaphor see how eighty five just
kind of like run through the city. And he's like, man,
we're gonna take this on the road. We're gonna run
through every city that we go to. And it was
like eighty five South, We're running through the city, like
eighty five self and it just kind of stuck.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Well, we're gonna hold that right there. We're gonna talk
about eighty five South and beyond when we come back
with the Ball Show. Carlos Ball Alert, Yo, Revolt, what up?
And we are back on the Ball Alert Show, brought
to you by a Revolt Carlos Millers in the building.
We was talking about eighty five South the podcast. Yeah,
but I want to talk about when you took Did
you guys take eighty five South on the road?
Speaker 4 (23:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (23:11):
Okay, But see, we started small and then we went big.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
Like we started with a small club venue.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
It's like, let's see if it can work in the club,
and then we kind of moved from the clubs to
the theaters and then from the theaters to the arenas,
you know, so we kind of like built it out now.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
Man. First of all, y'all show is just amazing and
it's fully improv Yeah right, yeah, so y'all don't plan nothing,
y'all just go out there. Y'all had a little music
playing in.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
The back rod. But that's that. We got to credit
the audience for that because they smart enough to know
the difference, because they follow us. They know when we
don't wilding out about where the line is the lines
that we can't cross. And they've seen us be scripted,
they've seen us work in different capacity, so when they
see us live, they want us he was wrong. Now,
I ain't gonna lie.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
When I saw Rick Ross walk out, I thought that
was fake. Why because I thought it was a setup.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
Now that's that's improv at his finance, you don't you
don't know what's gonna happen. But if you think about it,
like it just it totally fits his character. I wouldn't
have it no other way because it's just I loved it.
It's still mysterious. Ever come back on the show, I
want him to wear the exact same thing and just
act like he just you know what I mean. It's
just a part too lingering.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
I would say. One of my favorite moments is when
DC got on the Young Ladies Electric schoo.
Speaker 4 (24:37):
Single.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Yeah, Bro, I just don't I be over here like
y'all are some damn fools, bro.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
Yeah bro, we don't have no control over this. We
have some like our fan base is wow wow wow,
like we were getting ready. Like at the end of
the show. We always take a picture like with the
crowd in the audience. Man, somebody threw a prosthetic leg
on stage, like put my leg in the And there
was this lady. She come to all the shows and
(25:03):
she got like this little little like claw, but she
always be like, don't be talking about me. And it's
just like, it's so much love, man, because we don't
never alien aint nobody and make.
Speaker 4 (25:14):
Them feel crazy.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
Like we got people who come to the shows with handicaps,
we got people with little baby legs who love us.
We got fans all over the place. And then people
be like, man, you shouldn't be making front of them people.
But then we do the meet and greet, and these
people will come up and be like, man, ain't.
Speaker 4 (25:30):
Say nothing about us, Like are they?
Speaker 3 (25:34):
These are the people who laugh at stuff like that,
who don't want you to feel sorry for him, who
don't want to be feeling left out, or like you
can't say nothing to him, like, bro, we've heard some
of the funniest stuff just from the people in the crowd.
Now had one show, this dude found out that his
baby mama was sleeping with his other baby mama baby daddy,
(25:55):
So to get some get back, he slept with the dude,
wife damn bro. So they kind of like did like
a wife trade at the show. You got to he said,
you want to go left? Pull it up?
Speaker 4 (26:07):
It was crazy.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
Y'all had one show, correct me from in Atlanta. Bridge
on the Kwan came.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
Out most definitely was performed on the Netflix.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Okay, yeah, that was just that was a dope moment.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
And he came, I think to the Fox when we
were at the Fox. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
So we always try to get somebody to come, like
when we're in Atlanta to come and you know, bless
the stage or something like that. I want to get
a Lotto on there. Okay, I want to do the
interview with Lotto?
Speaker 1 (26:30):
What what? What are some times when y'all probably was like, man,
this crowd won't really feeling us the dyke y'all ever
have that?
Speaker 3 (26:37):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Sometimes I've never seen even when y'all go to New
York because they said New York when you when they go, like.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
Everybody else New York love us, bro. You think I'm
exaggerating when I said that, we probably the only people
who have performed four live shows in a rope like
in a day at the Apollo. Yeah, New York show
us much love. So I can't ain't been nowhere that
ain't showed us little?
Speaker 1 (27:02):
Do you guys? Do you feel like you guys have
more to accomplish as a team?
Speaker 3 (27:09):
Absolutely? Okay, just the beginning.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
And what would that look like as as something more
to accomplish for the eighty five South.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
Show, more TV and more movies. Yeah, that's the next
play to get into the movie game. Now, did y'all
tell Netflix? Like, man, we're trying to re up. That's
the thing about it. It ain't really a Netflix to tell.
It's a company. But it ain't like you could just
call Netflix. Yeah, don't call us.
Speaker 4 (27:34):
We'll say, okay, now we get a little closer to okay.
But you know one thing.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
Ever since then, like they gave us, they rolled it
out for us. We could go to the office, we
can talk to the head of Netflix and it's just like, hey,
what y'all got going on with y'all? Are y'all interested
in doing some of these type of shows or we'll
consider you.
Speaker 4 (27:53):
We'll put you in touch with the people.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
But you know, just nothing has materialized, but they left
the door open. Definitely interested in working with them in
any you know, other capacity. What's your favorite city to
go to. I don't know if we necessarily have a favorite,
because you I feel like every comedian has they they like,
I know when I go to this city.
Speaker 4 (28:12):
Thing about it.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
If you go watch any of the live shows, like
every city that we go to, and they see that
this city showing.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Us love, I'll do it. Through the colleges, they be
a little bit more turned though.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
Right because the little kids have been watching us in
six seventh grade and this is probably their first comedy show,
especially like the first live show, so they just experiencing
it as they saw it.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Yeah, because I feel like I forgot where y'all was at.
Y'all did a homecomings?
Speaker 3 (28:43):
You or family? I watch out like fifteen thousand people there,
fifteen thousand people I'm talking.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
About, Bro, homecoming had to capacity.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
Bro.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Yeah, you'll go through a whole You'll go down a
whole rabbit hole watching the YouTube page because it's just
so organically funny.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
I always I always watch all interviews that I was
just sitting on the couch, y'all.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
Just hi, y'all, just like just say, I feel like
that's a different layer to the show though, Yes, that
that the podcast in the studio and the live show
is worlds apart for sure.
Speaker 4 (29:16):
Yeah, that's just the trap.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
Episodes in the studio is that's just in between laves.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
Do you guys do that kind of just you know,
because you should do because do you prefer to do
the live show versus the sit down and have a
set type of thing.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
Well, see, I think it's about fifty to fifty like
the live show, like without the the podcast.
Speaker 4 (29:41):
Like the podcast, fuse the live show.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
That's what makes people tune in and be like, all right, man,
I'm gonna come see on when they come.
Speaker 4 (29:48):
So it's kind of like.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
One hand watches the other like the podcast promotes the
live show.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Now, do you do you feel like in this generation
it's like a lot harder to be a comedian.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
You gotta know what not to cross the line.
Speaker 3 (30:03):
That's the that's the best part about being a comedian.
It's figuring out how to cross the line. Yeah, why
would you play it safe? You can as a consumer
when you watch somebody even be like I ain't really
go all no, you had to do it big. Don't
(30:24):
play it safe, because that's where your creativity comes in.
How can you creatively cross the line? Because there's a
there's a difference in between being creative and being I'm
seeing or explicit. They don't always have to be offensive
creatively across the line.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
You know what I'm saying, You get you give them
some gyms because I feel like a lot of comedians
now they're so afraid to like even like I watched
some people concentsration.
Speaker 4 (30:50):
I like, I'll be like, man, they they afraid.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
To like, go go.
Speaker 4 (30:55):
I can tell they afraid to go to the next level.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
But see, that's just like what you're saying earlier about
with the music though. It's like there are comedians who
aren't afraid, but they're not they're not as notable as
the ones that you're getting to watch. You kind of
gotta go find the ones that you want to see. Yeah,
it's definitely some lane crosses out there, habitual line steppers.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
Okay, let's habitually go to commercial? Uh. The Revolt episode
of The Ball Alert Show with Carlos Miller coming right back.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
Yeah, and we are back right here Revolt TV, Ball
Alert Show Man. We over here just talking about everything comedy,
what lies.
Speaker 4 (31:34):
The cross and what not, The Crossross.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
All the land, Carlos Miller is in the building now
not to get too personal one time for Keisha with
the Faith Project.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
Set that up like that they don't get too personal
and then shut out to shout that what you said
it does make himself like Keisha was like her over
like you're still I don't want to get in your shot.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
The Faith Project is part of the segments called the
Mental Health Check is how how is Carlos Biller's mental
health and how do you strengthen it or keep it
strength strong? I don't know. You know what I try
to say.
Speaker 3 (32:26):
I keep him going crazy or getting the press. Yeah,
check that account.
Speaker 4 (32:33):

it on that bro.
Speaker 4 (32:42):

Speaker 3 (32:44):
But I keep keep some good family around me, my son,
keep me grounded. You know.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
Just see you, man, you be real your temper, your temper,
your temperament is real level.
Speaker 4 (32:56):
What do I see you?
Speaker 3 (32:58):
He always he always chilled. Every day he seen me
was out of the.
Speaker 4 (33:06):
Bro. I beat the game.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
Man. I get to live my dreams every day. I
get to get up and do whatever I want to do. Man.
I get to go to the livest places, have the
dopest shows, kick it with the dopest people, hang around
beautiful women, eat good food, travel the world, buy whatever
I want. Bruh.
Speaker 4 (33:24):
Life is good.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
Life is good. And it's not because somebody gave it
to me or gave me a handout, or hit me
a lick or let me open for him or nothing.
But I just just purely off the ground. Yeah, so
my mental health is good to that. And you know,
but life happens. You have moments where you gotta you know,
where you gotta go and get yourself together. Ain't nothing
wrong with that, bro. A lot of fellas don't don't
(33:47):
want to admit it. Life will hurt you, man. It's
a lot of things out here that will break your heart.
So I try to smile and laugh as much as
I can because you're gonna cry at some point. It
ain't nothing wrong with that. That don't mean you're a
weak man or you weird or nothing like that. Hey man,
you gotta have emotions, like a lot of dudes. Try
to be tough all day every day. You mean to
tell me you don't love your grandma, your little niece,
(34:09):
don't run up to you and hug you and you
just tough all day every day. Come on, bro, those
are what we call crash outs. They don't have that's
those are the people who those the people that need
to go cry.
Speaker 4 (34:19):
They don't have no value system.
Speaker 3 (34:21):
Yeah, when they crash out because you, you're gonna put
the whole family in danger because you're trying to prove
a point. Ain't nobody got no money to keep coming
fixing your mistakes or bailing you out or putting the
house up. And you and you know you can't beat
this charge. You know what I'm saying, Like, Bro, you
gotta think about it. It's it's people who love you
that's gonna have to face the consequences of your actions
(34:43):
with you. You know what I'm saying. You don't want to
You don't want to break your mama heart. You don't
want to see your family sitting there like just you
don't want that, bro.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
Yeah, I appreciate that one. All right. Well, I know
you was on Shannon Sharp's episode that was fire.
Speaker 3 (34:58):
That was a good episode. This bro, what are you
going with this?
Speaker 1 (35:04):
I just saw it. I just saw you.
Speaker 4 (35:08):
I forgot I forgot about that was going on all
about that.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
I was just gonna lead to I just thought it
was dope to see you in a different light when
you were having a good conversation with the Brothers Channel Sharp,
so we wanted to bring you on ball alert a
similar good.
Speaker 3 (35:25):
That's why I've been touching different platforms because I think
a lot of people think I'm a certain kind of way.
Speaker 4 (35:30):
They don't understand, like, bro, you.
Speaker 3 (35:32):
Know, like when you going to a party like party,
you ain't.
Speaker 4 (35:36):
Ain't to you that show up to work.
Speaker 3 (35:38):
So I've been wanting to hit different platforms and talk
about different stuff just so they can see that I'm
not just one dimensional. Definitely have some sense, Definitely not heartless,
Definitely gonna cross the land, Definitely gonna talk my ship
everywhere I go, even though they said I can't say ship.
Speaker 4 (35:54):
Bleed it.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
Why you got all these editors, they don't know how
to bleep? Now? You have so many things with the team.
What about Carlos Miller the solo act. What about Carlos
Miller the solo comedian?
Speaker 4 (36:12):
Right, this is the thing about it.
Speaker 3 (36:13):
When it comes to eighty five South show, I created it, right,
So it's my brand, it's my entity. So even when
I am solo I'm still gonna bring mine. I own it.
It's my idea. Why would I ever want to disassociate
myself from something I created? Jay Z, don't just go
drop an album and don't put Rockefeller on it. This
(36:33):
branding it's me. So I'm gonna take the good with
the bad. But I do tour solo, I do club shows,
I do my own tour.
Speaker 4 (36:43):
I'm just building.
Speaker 3 (36:45):
So everywhere I go, you're gonna see that eighty five
South because that's my brandy.
Speaker 2 (36:49):
Because you definitely my building. Put your brand out, that's
my label. Every time you see me, you're gonna see
something eighty five. So yeah, that's what we're doing promoting
the app.

You don't have to be technically, you guys are y'all. Y'all,
we're not acting.
Speaker 2 (38:20):
You guys are the standard though, But you know how
it is, like sometimes you meet certain people that you're
a fan of and then they're not the person that
you think they.
Speaker 3 (38:28):
Think they are.
Speaker 2 (38:29):
Yeah, you know what I mean, Like you'll be excited
to see somebody and like many you know what.
Speaker 4 (38:36):
I met somebody when we were in l A.
Speaker 2 (38:38):
And I was excited to see that person because I
love they content and I and the interaction was just like, Okay,
I should start streaming cause I should start exposing these
people that think they're bigger than they.
Speaker 3 (38:50):
Keep in mind, some people are really good at their talent,
they're not good at the social side. Up, Yeah they're not.
Like you know, some people get social anxiety or they
can go in the room and create the dopest show,
but to have to deal with five thousand, ten thousand
people that kind of make them you know what I'm saying, understand.
Speaker 4 (39:09):
Yeah, to give them a little grace.
Speaker 3 (39:11):
No, man, they gotta stop acting.
Speaker 4 (39:12):
Go like sometimes that's that's.
Speaker 3 (39:15):
That's not the act. That's the real The act is
what you from like watching so you well, you know,
you ste around long enough, you start to notice sometimes
you you ain't gonna get the person you want to
meet the first time or the first couple of times.
They kind of got warm up to you.
Speaker 2 (39:33):
But I always tell people like the like when I
meet people in the interactions changed.
Speaker 3 (39:38):
I'm like, man, you know when I first.
Speaker 4 (39:39):
Met you, you was acting like this, and the day
they be.
Speaker 3 (39:42):
Like then they give you the backstory and they act
like they don't remember. But they act like they don't remember,
or they give you a backstory.
Speaker 2 (39:48):
It's like, oh, man, I was going through this at
the time, so you you you're right. You do have
to give people grace. But something some people you would
meet them, I'm like, man, this person is too crazy.
Speaker 3 (39:56):
Like people changed to that's just very trumba will make
some had it turned to a whole nother person.
Speaker 1 (40:01):
So Notah for sure. So listen, man, we appreciate you,
