Speaker 2 (00:06):
You're such a professional.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
I'm just gonna make sure I want you Chrispy.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
Bill Bella Me is here, Ladies and gentlemen, we can
learn a lot from him.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
They love me so much. You're so dope.
Speaker 4 (00:17):
You were like you literally are like my sister from
another mother. Because like the thing that I admire about
you is your journey and how you've always been angela
like you, never like you, you everybody favorite cousin.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
That's why I appreciate that.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Yeah, for real, and Bill Bellamy, that means a lot
because I think a lot of people look at your
journey and I want to say your booktop Billan, really
let us see a lot more of that. Yes, you know,
being this kid from Newark, even getting a little glimpse
into your home life.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Yeah, and how all of that went down.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
But I didn't know you had this like big background
and you had an opportunity to work corporate.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
I did that ton of money and said I'm a
bet on myself and that's a valuable lesson.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
Wow, I mean it really is, because it's scary, you know,
to to to chase your dream, you know, like, do
you can I make it. I believe I can. I
see myself, but what what what if I fail? And
sometimes fear stops us from greatness.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
Yeah, I think sometimes it's so much easier to do
things when we don't have that fear, too, because when
you're younger, you could take ignorance.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
Is sometimes don't y Yeah, sometimes I don't know, I
could fly a plan.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
You know what I mean, y'all figure it out, you know.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
I think some of that is is blind ambition for
me because I came from such a poor background. I
just wanted to like disguise the limit. To me, it
was kind of like, if this is the bottom, the
top got to be great. Yeah, you know what I mean,
Like if this is like the struggle and the you know,
oh my god, everybody else got it but me. What
(01:51):
if I just go all the way out, I probably
could do something and I just went.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
For it, you know.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
And you also, with the first grandkid in your family
to even go to college, that's a big response ability too.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
At the same time, there was no way, Ageler, there
was no way I could get out of college. Like, Yo,
they used to call me college your college.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Yo.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
I sweat to god, I'm not even my uncle's head college.
We're good, right, I'm grades going to college.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
I'm like, damn, the third.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Grade, third grade, And I know we're talking about something,
but I just want to say because I haven't spoken
to you since, you know, I had a chance to
read the book. Okay, So that's why I'm saying, there's
just certain things about you because.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
I think, do you feel like you know me better now?
Speaker 2 (02:30):
I do? Okay, I do.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
You're from Newark, you know, and that's interesting because my
parents live in South Thorns, but I didn't move there
until I was in tenth grade, and so there's a
special Jersey thing.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
I feel like it is, you know that happens.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
But even aside from all that, I didn't even realize
you did Deaf Comedy Jam and MTV the same year,
and so that was a and you talk about how
different both of those audiences were.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
Yeah, because what was so interesting about my career was
the timing of everything. Right, I didn't know I would
ever be on MTV. That wasn't like we didn't even
have MTV in my neighborhood. MTV was like came with
HBO or something like I remember I was I didn't
even have a MTV, so Deaf Jam was really the
primary target. Was like, Oh, there's this new show that's
(03:15):
gonna be all about black comedy and it's gonna blowcats up.
Russell Simmons is doing this thing and it's gonna be
fire in New York and I remember hearing whispers about
it when I used to do uptown in Harlem and
I would come from Jersey and do that spot wh
you know, Andre and Kevin and they had that spot popping.
I remember I used to be like seeing salt and
pep up in there. I would see trash and you know,
(03:38):
like yo. This was when Harlem, I mean Harlem Comedy
was everything. Montery Ivey was hosting, Hugh Moore, There's so
many cats, Dougie Doug, I mean, Flex was it coming
through there. Dave Chappelle. So we were all like these young,
you know, hardcore trying to make comedians. So getting on
(04:00):
death Jam I thought was my ticket, which it was.
But then at the same time, me being in New
York and starting a buzz, I got that audition for
MTV and he was looking for and what people don't
know this is.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
A fun fact.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
Todd One was initially the host oh wow, you remember
Todd One?
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Yes, I did.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Yes, So Todd One, who I think remember, if I
remember correctly, was dating MC life for a minute. I
don't know why. I know that. It's a weird fact.
It's a weird fact.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
So Todd One was the initial host and I was,
you know, getting auditioned, and I was auditioned. I didn't
have a job, but at it yet and I'll be
sure was feeling in and yes, and then I took
it from al. They kept passing it. But time, I remember,
I'll be sure used to have his chain wrapped around
(04:53):
his head.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
When he was talking on MTV. I never forget that.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
I was like, why is it Gen't you know what funny?
Alb sure, story, it's not.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
I was at this Remember we used to always have
these music conferences back in the day, and there was
this one.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
I think it was called the Impact Conference. Oh remember that.
We used to have all these kinds.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
It was Jack the Rapper, the Impact and Jack Power Summit,
all these different things. And I remember being there and
Christopher Williams was there and maybe yeah Christopher, and this
woman ran up to him like.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
I'll be sure, I'll be sure. Can I get it.
He didn't even correct the woman. He just took a
picture like he was.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
I was like, guys, you gotta understand in that moment,
it was almost like Christopher Williams.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
And I'll be sure was because because they were interchangeable.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Light skin dudes. You're looking. They had light skin dudes.
They had they had a five summer run.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
I remember that you had to be light skinned, you
look Spanish whatever.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
You know what I mean. They looked Spanish. They was
like the pretty boys. They was from New York and
you know they had the swag and you know Christopher,
I'm friends with both of them. So like Chris had
the baritone, don't wake me, he was him. And then
you know Al had the little whistbury with the jean jacket.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Could it be faking?
Speaker 1 (06:12):
They were both on fire at the same time.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Now, you know, the holiday season is upon us, so
you know that is a good time to be at
home watching movies. Yes, And by the way, I also
flash back to you celebrating Christmas with Mariah back in
the Oh my gosh, I love Mariah.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
Shout out Mariah Carrie. Let me tell you my airy system.
She did the dopest thing for me. This is the
funniest thing. I never told nobody's story about Maria. I
don't think so. Mariah was married to Tommy Mottola at
the time, right, and she used to travel with these
three soprano looking dudes. The guys like Mariah, I won't
(06:51):
GE's gonna be the make up.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Your guys here to do the cinematography, to make sure
the lighting is right. These guys the black Cat, the
black trench cokeeist, you know, slick hair.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
You know you probably got an uncle like that, so
really quick. So they was cool, but they they was
very intimidating.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
They'd be like, yeah, we got other interviews.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
Kid saw uh Mariah two thirty hard out hold out
those guys. So she had this fly ass can go on? Right,
And I said, Mariah, damn, I said that can't go
with super Dupe. Where you get that from? She was like,
I love Kango's bell, you want one? I'm thinking, wait,
watch this. I am not making this up. The girl
(07:33):
sent me the box that they sent to the store.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
It was the biggest.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
Box of Cangos in every color, every style. You got
to Sway joint, the blue, the mess joint. I was like, God, damn,
she rich.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
It's funny.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Hold on, you said, I like you. I should have
said that. I wasn't thinking. You didn't know that I
was kimming it real simple, you know.
Speaker 2 (07:59):

Speaker 2 (08:08):

Speaker 1 (08:09):
Yeah, I owe you that three dollars.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
But anyway, so I love a good holiday movie, yes, ma'a.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
There were some things in that movie that I was like,
this is insane.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
Yeah, you know what I love about Worst Christmas Ever?
Because the title makes you go, what that? And number two?
What I like about it? It's about love and it's
about family, right, So I was.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Like, God, blended family.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
Yeah, blended family, because people living like that they are
you know, you divorce, you got your kids, you still
love your kids, your ex got somebody else, you ain't
got nobody yet you still in love.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Like that's real life. You know what I mean? You'd
be like, yo, high Felicia. Can you can I come
in and say no?
Speaker 3 (08:45):
But can you imagine staying if? And I know you're
very happily married, So that's not But I'm just saying,
imagine staying or somebody staying at their ex.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
House and then she got a new man that you
pay for it and they smashing out. Yeah, you gotta understand.
I used to lay there and this dude is banging
out and I gotta come by and I'm the visitor.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
Now that's a hell of a man. So I always
tell my wife. I say that we don't make it
and we break up. I'm not gonna be a good
baby daddy. I'm already telling you right now, I'm not
don't listen, I'm not him. I'm not him. I'm not
gonna be there. Oh, let's just be nice to each other.
And oh my god, lit'sten all share of the kiuts.
I'm very territory about my kids. Like I'm like, there's
(09:32):
a I'm not playing.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Listen. But you have such great energy.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
I think in general, I don't see how you know
you just I think even with regular fans and people
like people coming up to you, everybody always has good
Bill Bellamy stories.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
Well, I'm very I'm very genuine. Like what you see
is what you get. Like I'm not like nice here
and then mean out there. I mean, if you catch
me while I'm eating, it could be different, because I
think that's crazy.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
I got I got food him, I got a turkey
club in my mind, that's a fact, you know what
I mean, Like I'm not going.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
To ask you for autographing both, or like I'm in
a fly restaurant, my man say how to my wife?
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Real fast birthday people put the phone in your face
and then or they'll be like sneak filming film you.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
It's not cute. I don't like that. Just act, Just ask.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Do you think that? How do you think podcasting?
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Has?
Speaker 2 (10:20):
You know, you had your podcast? Are you bringing that back?
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Okay, so doing that? You think that helps? Also when
you're like on stage doing your stand up. I know
you've been doing stand up for so long, but I'm
wondering if it changes even how you do your show.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
I think I think podcasting is brilliant for people who
have a point of view, Like I think your podcast
is brilliant because what you what you tackle from a female,
you know sort of perspective is probably couldn't.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Be on TV, but you could do it.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
It could now Yeah maybe.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
Whatever, But anyway, so like for me, you know, I'm
coming from the MTV days and interviewing people. I still
love to do that, right, And why like top billing
is that I feel that everyone wants to be top.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Billing in their life.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
Thus top billing, and there's people that are making moves,
and people are creators and people are like music producers,
and they're doing art that I can't believe people are doing,
and they're doing health things that make people healthy. So
I'm meeting so many people through social media, which is awesome,
I mean, and they want to be on the show,
So I try to make it eclectic I love, and
(11:33):
then I get funny stuff out of because you know,
I'm always thinking comedy. Yeah, always think of comedy. So
you're right, I do for.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
You because also as a VJ and a host, you've
done that, so you have experienced there, because there's an
art for speaking to people and making them feel comfortable
enough to platable. But then coming from the comedy side,
having that aspect where it is funny, yes, and you
know women love funny guys.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
And I'm very funny, yeah, very Truman.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
And you've lived a life now you yes. You also
when your book talked about Janet Jackson.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Yes, yeah, you want to talk about Jennet.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Yes, let's talk about I can't even imagine.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Is there can I can't wait to tell you this
go ahead?
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Is there ever? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (12:14):
Because imagine being cool and Janet Jackson calls you and
you're just like vibe a little bit, and then.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
You know, what's so crazy? I probably could have been
with Janet Jackson if I wanted to.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
I was just so weak, Yo.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
There was a there was a mutual like, there was
a mutual energy that I just didn't understand because I
was kind of like, she's super duper famous right now,
she's super number one, She's number one woman in the world.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
I'm mister VJ.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
But she was flirty as fuck with me, like all
the time, and I was just like, it was so funny,
Like if a dude flirt with a girl, you know,
it's kind of cool because you know, that's what we're
supposed to do before the famous for a famous woman
in the world that you admired like for your whole life,
and she's like, oh, Bill and put her hand on
(13:08):
your chest.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
That's kind of crazy you. I'm just like, oh, you
kind of dropped the ball. I dropped the book because
because that's when I saw Jermaine do it. I was like,
I was at the Magic Tap and I fumbled the ball.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
God damn it, that's hilarious.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
I swear to God, what Jamain gut. I was like,
I had the whole I was there and I'm taller.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
But you know, it was a good time.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
And I think things happen the way that's sometimes relationships
have destroyed people's reputations.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
In the public eye too, and then we were better friends.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Shadow things, right, because I feel like Jamaine can't do
no interviews without people being.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Like, how'd you fuck that up? Your every everything?
Speaker 4 (13:54):
But this is the craziest thing when I think back
in my life because I'm you know, I'm kind of
you to Hollywood, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Just think about this music.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
MTV made me hot in the music game, so I'm
you know, I know all the artists, white people, white people,
suburban kids love Bill Bellamy.
Speaker 1 (14:12):

like all this new, new, new, new, new new.
Speaker 4 (14:17):

So I'm getting I'm getting a super duper invite to everything.
Speaker 1 (14:29):

Speaker 4 (14:30):
So when you when you you sitting there with one
of the most famous women in the world and she's

So something happened with men condition they jumped off, jumped
on another show, and then she called me and I'm
on I'm on the road with Janet, right, And.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
So she had this part of her show where.

that would have been my time to cross the line.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
I've been right there.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
I'd be like, oh, my bad, Like, you never did that,
act like it was a mistake. Oh, excuse me, I
put tongue in it.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
No, I've never done that.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
No, never, okay, cool only me.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Most recently, on.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
Your social media page, you told the story about Manny Fresh, Oh.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
My god, and you said did you see it?
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Yes? I did?
Speaker 1 (16:55):
It? Was it funny?
Speaker 2 (16:56):
It was funny. But I was also like, I'm sure
manifest no, is that people say this about him? Yes, and.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
This is funny. This is why I took you.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
I'm just wondering, is he gonna be mad?
Speaker 3 (17:09):
No?
Speaker 1 (17:09):
He started following me afterwards when I met him and everything. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
But here's the thing that's so funny about me as
a person. Most people don't know how tall I am. Right,
you may know what I look like, but you don't
know how tall I am. So it's the same thing
about what people really look like. It's supposed to snapshots
of people, right. So the reason I told the story
because it was so freaking funny. From where I was,
I didn't know it was many Fresh. I kind of
(17:35):
I was like, Yo, that's this stud right there DJing.
I was like, Yo, why's the stud? Like I'm trying
to think like, why's the stud DJ in so long?
Because I'm thinking, like, that's right, Yeah, I'm thinking many
Fresh is my size. I'm thinking many Fresh look like
this and that I don't know it's many Fresh. So
I said, yo, I gotta tell the story because the
whole time I'm upset, I'm like, Yo, I cannot wait
(17:57):
to meet many Fresh DJ killing I said, Yo, this
DJ is killing.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
It, but I want Many Fresh. And so my boy
was like, Yo, be white. You tripping. I'm like, yo, man,
I've been We've been here for you for a minute.
I said, where's many Fresh? He was like, he's right there.
I blacked out because he did from Yo, from a distance,
he do look like a stud like he has you know,
you know that, you know that, you know the ones,
you know, the studs that have no they just have
(18:22):
a certain type of He looked like an uncle Auntie.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Man Am I wrong, I'm wrong, but you tagged him.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
You don't look like Auntie Manny.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
I have no comment. I'm not a comedian.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
I'm a comedian. Let me let me do it.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
I can't because he got like a like. The funny
thing about Manny Fresh in person is it's like he
has zero facial hair, not even a mustache, not a
go to and he doesn't have no eyebrows.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
So he just looked like a stud from from the distance.
My bad. But he's but he's really a guy. My bad.
Shout out to all the studs.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Now, did you have a chance to west Eddie Murphy documentary?
Speaker 1 (19:04):
No, only don't tell me.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
I haven't seen it yet either. I just was wonderful.
Speaker 4 (19:09):
It's a long time coming. I think it's an amazing
thing for us to give him his flowers while he
is here and to document his success because it never
happened before. And so I'm so interested because he totally
influenced me to be a comedian. And you know, every
time that I've met Eddie and talked with him, he's
(19:31):
always been so gracious and always just been like a
big bro, like, yo, man, how's your career?
Speaker 1 (19:37):
This? That and the other.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
And I always told it. I was like, if it
wasn't for you, I didn't think being a comedian could
be cool. He made comedy cool to me.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Yeah, so many people did. I think Richard Pryor was
like the blueprint you know, for a lot of people
to And I got to give it up to a
lot of the women comedians today, because I do feel like,
still all in all, a lot of women that are
hilarious don't get the same opportunity.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Yeah, it is hard.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
I'm always looking for girls like we need the balance
in comedy, you know what I mean, Just like in podcasting,
like I said, we need the perspectives on both angles,
the different lenses and stuff like I want to find,
you know, the next Tiffany Hatish, you know what I mean.
Like when when I saw when I had Tiffany Hadish
on Who's got jokes? Nobody knew who she was and
(20:22):
she had like four jokes but they were bananas. They like,
she didn't have an extensive roster of funny. She was
just funny and physical and like fearless about her stand
up right. And so I always look for girls like
that are funny. I'm like, oh man, I need a
girl that could just bring it, you know what I'm saying.
(20:42):
And there's a there's a couple out here that's like, No.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
There definitely are like.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Love comedy, you know I do.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Yeah, like Rodriguez, your Dominique.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Who else? I ran and crows? What's a rita? Rita? Brent.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
She's my girl, just Pam. She's hilarious too.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Yeah, y Jersey girl. I got to see her. I've
not seen her instead of yet.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
So what are your holiday plans?
Speaker 4 (21:11):
So holiday plans, kids home, festive as hell. You know
it's hard now that twenty two nineteen, so you know,
everybody got their real schedule, they got their own cars,
so they like.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Real grown folks.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Are they bringing home like the you know already.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
No, my daughter better not bring nobody, but my son can't.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
You know, come on, you can't do that.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
She's grown, she's twenty two. She could bring somebody, but
she's better not.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
I know you've met one of your daughter's boyfriends before.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
I'm just joking, but like you know, it's so fully
I'm not, but I'm not.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
But here we go.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
So when you have for fathers that love their daughters,
there's definitely a double standard. And I'm like real serious
with my daughter.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
No bums allowed. You know what I'm saying. You know
what I mean? You know NBA no bums allowed. So NBA,
no pumps a louse, real talk. So I'm very very
vocal about you know what you are, Dome, don't come
in here. With a nickel. You feel me. She got
her program tight. She right.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
Double standard is real. Because I'm a little sister. My
brother could do whatever he wanted. He's only a year
and three months older than me. I used to be
so mad growing up. I'm like, he's bringing girls up,
he's going to the room closed, close the door. He
could close the door. I was like, I can't even know.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
I want your windows open and the door open. Angela.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
I got to stand outside.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
I want to.
Speaker 4 (22:31):
I'm matter of fact, I'm putting campus in the room.
You better be sitting way over there. You gotta sit
away over there, like nah, but it is. It's funny,
like I'm sure they're gonna bring you know, somebody home.
It's such a good feeling to have the kids in
the house because you know, now me and my wife
are empty nesters, and so you know, it's now it's
about us again, you know, because we we didn't have
kids right away. I think right into year three we
(22:55):
started having kids. You know what I'm saying. It's like
I think, you know, it's time or whatever. And so
we we did three years of us traveling doing everything. Yeah,
and so it was nice. We did it kind of
the right way. But what's cool now to me is
the fact that we still like each other and like
have fun together. You know, because a lot of couples
(23:15):
break up soon as the kids is done.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
They don't have nothing to comment the kids going by, bitch,
you know. But but we we have fun there.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
So now we're doing things that we couldn't do because
we had all these I mean, the kids just take
over your life, like, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
So with the freedom, you know, we get to really
have fun.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Yeah, it has to feel so different though.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
It is like not having that energy in the house, crazy.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Twenty years of not having been alone, and.
Speaker 4 (23:41):
Yeah, the house will be feeling so bugged out, like
no doors slamming, no music playing.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
My house feel like a library, you know, if it
wasn't for the dogs.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
And you are and you even talk about coming from
like your parents were married growing up, and that was
a rare thing for people for us to be like, okay,
there parents, there's mister Bellamy.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Is that your real daddy. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (24:05):
People used to say that, Oh, that's that's a shame,
that's a shame you still got your real daddy. I
was like, yeah, that's my really good what do you.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
Think when I look at some of like my favorite, uh,
you know, stand up comments, because like you know, I
love stand up comedy of course, you know. I love
watching you do your stand up And I always follow
you on your page too, just to see what clips
that you're posting from.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
From back in the day. I always should now if you.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
Do stuff that's current, but it's not a full special,
so I need to see, you know, some things when
you're when you're touring, and I know you still love touring,
right yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
So like touring right now.
Speaker 4 (24:37):
My tours called the top billing and you know, I'm
just bringing the top comedians with me on this run
and they're really really funny. We write jokes during the day,
we punch up stuff. We try to make sure the show.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Is unbelievably nothing like loving what you do.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Yeah, man, it's so fun.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
We sit around and we talk jokes all day like
we like writers, like we're producers of comedy, you know.
But we do this angelae that's so crazy. At the
end of my show, it's turned into a vibe. So
we do the battle of music. We do two thousand
artists versus nineties, and the amount of crowd participation is
(25:14):
staggering because people are people pick their team. So you
got team two thousand that those are all the people
that's forty and down and then forty and up is
super nineties.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
I love it and it is phenomenal. You you should
see some of the clips we post. Is crazy.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
Now when I tell you, those are the tours that
are selling out. Now, I saw a bow. I was
just talking about that.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
It's real.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
He was saying that these artists that are from you know,
the older artists are selling out these tours.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Brandy and Monica are in New York tonight getting it.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
Yeah, at the Barclays and so at the Barclays Arena.
So you these shows are sold out there like no
com tickets.
Speaker 4 (25:50):
Listen, listen to me, No, how about this. Let me
tell let me check. Let me tell you because we
tried to get it.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
I'll try. I tried to be eroded. I was like, yo, I'm.
Speaker 4 (26:01):
Carrying Monica's up bags. No, she already got a stylist. Okay,
So let me show you how real it is. I
was just in Saint Louis. They were there and that
Sunday night they were performing and there was like eight
women at the bar who came from another city to
see the show. They all grown, I want to say,
they forty five and up. They love Brandy, they love Monica,
(26:25):
and they were like yeah, and then they had Calle
Ruling come out like it's a it's like a woman
thing because I don't know.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
No, dudes, it's like, you're going to see thing for guys.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
To go to those if you want to. If you
single and you a dude.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
That's a cheat code, cheat code, go.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
See Brandy and Monica and stand in the lobby.
Speaker 4 (26:45):
Wait for let yo or sell t shirt self sweat
sweatops you gonna pull. You're gonna have at least thirteen aunties.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
I promise you.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
I told Mano was asking for tickets. I wonder. Yeah
he got his tickets, right, man?
Speaker 1 (26:57):
No, man no, may no, may no. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (26:59):
Yeah, it's hard because the women. Here's the thing about
that tour. It's mostly women, and women get what they
want immediately. Don't wait, dudes, be like, yo, man, we'll see.
I ain't gonna be the first. I ain't gonna be
thirsty the first three days. I'm wait and see if
he really coming, you know what I mean? Women be
like I'm going I'm calling Pam, I'm calling Keisha and them,
(27:22):
and we're gonna all go and Felicia. She probably ain't
gonna get a babysitter, but we're gonna see. We're gonna
get her ticket anyway.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
Listen, I have to say I saw you on Sherry
Shepherd also. Oh yes, and one of the things I
think she's y'all were great together. I love that type
of energy. Yes, And so you were talking about like
age and she was saying how everybody's been saying, wow,
Bill Bell and me is sixty years old, he looks
so amazing.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
Yeah, and you were saying, the secret to that is
just that you love what you do. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
I believe that.
Speaker 4 (27:51):
I believe being happy with them and really being passionate
about what you do it takes a lot of stress
off of you. And it doesn't mean and you don't
have bad days and stuff like that. But I feel
like I've always had the energy of like a teenager.
You know what I'm saying my whole life. I've always
looked at life half full as opposed to have empty,
(28:13):
and so I have so much of a passion about stuff.
And I learned that energy from I interviewed this lady.
She was ninety two and she kind of looked like
Lena Hornish, but she looks she had beautiful skin. She
didn't look ninety two at all. I said, miss, what
would you tell me? What is your secret? Why do
you look so good? She said, Baby, don't take life
(28:34):
so serious. People take life so serious and they and
they hold on. She said, if you can't fix it,
let it go.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
You know what.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
I said, Damn, that's amazing.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
And I want to say.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
One thing that's harder today though, I think for the
next generation is social media and all this access, pressure
and pressure.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
Yeah, it's a lot, but also just bullying, like everything.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
I go ahead.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
I saw something that was so dishards It was so
disheartening to see bullying to this level that they were
picking on this girl. So the mom showed up to
protect her daughter, and the girls were so mean that
they start to beat up the girl.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
I seen.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
That was insane.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
That's insane.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
I literally was watching that video. We talked about it
up here.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
It was so sad, and the mother has sickle cell
and it was really sick, and it was her son. Actually,
they were bullying her son, her son. She had a
son and daughter with her, but she had both of
them with her, but they were bullying her son, and
the kids jumped the mom, and she had been talking
to the school about the bullying and everything that was
going on. And now you see like some of the
moms and the kids that jumped her on social media
(29:48):
talking about it.
Speaker 4 (29:49):
What do we do with stuff like that? Like, what
what do we do in a situation when kids are
so desensitized to violence? Like, we would never do that
any First of all, we would never ever talk to
a grown person at that level. We are kids, they
are grown. Another thing, we would never think to harm
(30:11):
an adult, right. And the way that I feel now
is because kids see it so much, they don't think
is real, Like they don't look at it as a
oh my god.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
They just be like, man, let's do this. Man, I
don't care, and they don't have no They.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Want to post it because they see us so much.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
And you know what really hurt when she the mom
did an interview afterward and she said she was having
nightmares about her son, just like yeah, like, what are
you supposed to do after that? And then now you're
on the news and they seen you, They seen your kid.
But a lot of people have been coming together and
trying to like support her. I saw one of the artists,
Little Zayo Sama, was like, I'm gonna fly You'll out
(30:49):
to La take you Christmas shopping.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
They had to go fund me so that the mother
could like move.
Speaker 4 (30:54):
Yeah, you know, here's the thing. And it goes back
to parenting. And and I was at my son's basketball
game and one of my friends who hadn't seen my
son play in a long time, and he just out
of nowhere said to me, Bill, you did a fantastic
job with your children. He said, I just wanna give
(31:15):
you whatever it took that you did to you know,
you and your wife whatever to be able to make
two good people. It's parenting because you got to put
in the time with your kids and draw the line
on discipline and right and wrong and this, that and
the other. There's so many of our kids that are wonderful,
(31:37):
that are ambitious, but they just don't have any guidance.
And you're gonna let the internet raise your kids. You're
gonna let the Internet tell your kids what's cool. And
you don't have a you don't have a thinking what
they call a think take at the crib so we
could talk and say, hey, man, that's wrong.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
How you you That perspective is a little skew. Let's
talk about it.
Speaker 4 (32:00):
You gotta have conversations, real conversations with your kids just
so they can deal.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
We didn't have access, like, yeah, that's the highest compliment
somebody could give you. Though you did a fantastic It.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
Was so random and it gave me goosebumps because you
don't think about that, like your kids could be fucked up, Like.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
You're like, I'm just doing my job as a parent.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
I didn't, you know.
Speaker 4 (32:23):
I love, love, love being a dad. Like I waited,
you know, I wanted to have my own kids, Like
I always dreamed of it. And I never was like,
oh I gotta take my kids to school. Oh my god,
they need pants, or my son needs a basketball thing camping,
my daughter wants to get you know, a little this,
(32:44):
that and the other and go to this ballet school.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
I just was in it because I just loved it.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
How did your daughter react once you found out that
Jeezy made it rain on you?
Speaker 1 (32:54):
She was like, daddy, or you're in the strip club.
She was like that, do you really go to strip clubs.
I was like, that's that was a true story.
Speaker 3 (33:05):
Look at bella page if you want to see the
story of Oh Jez Yo, this can I tell you
Grex significant Pa. So if you go to Atlanta, Magic
City is one of my favorite strip clubs. And I'll
never forget. This was when I put on for My
City was big. I put on and that song was crazy,
even with the Kanye remix.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
You remember that absolutely I put on.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
I just remember, like when it came up, when you
see me up with traffic cooking Gez or some other ship,
I was like.
Speaker 4 (33:36):
Damn, whatever this is, it's crazy. And then Jez came in.
He got the hat to the back. He had like
eight dudes with him, and then they standing there. They
got all the bottles and stuff and I got I
got one of two bottles they got like you then
and I didn't.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
Know this was a thing like the making the rain
thing was big.
Speaker 4 (33:54):
So I'm standing in and I'm looking and there's this
black bag, like a black the bag of money, and
I'm like, damn, he just carry money like that. That's
what he wanted to throw up. And so they was
it was breakeed up.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
It was.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
They giving you like a thousand dollars in once, and
they just hitting chicks in their head with it. It
was they throwing it. It was breaking open and they
opened the pack and they was giving.
Speaker 4 (34:23):
And that's when they said, Remember they said Biebel kept
one of the they said, they said, bibee I was
in there. He put one in his pocket. I was
cracking up because I wanted to do that because I
needed to change. I needed to change.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
So I was like, damn, they throwing all this money
away and it was on top of me too away.
Speaker 4 (34:47):
No, but what I'm saying, it felt like because what
was so funny was so much money. It was just
hit me in the head. I felt like it was
raining on me too.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
I felt very good. I was like, I think, I
just I just put I headed. I'm like this, I
just went.
Speaker 4 (35:03):
I said, these strippers must feel good with all this money.
And then they come and scoop it up like you
know what I mean. They Oh, my god, if you
don't go to Medicity, you don't know what I mean.
But like if you like, you go to Magic City,
you go to King of Diamonds. Back in the day,
been there, done, been there, done that.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
Now where is it that people going Miami. I'm forgetting
the name of the booby booby Trap.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
I've never been a booby trap.
Speaker 2 (35:24):
Is that a strip cup in Miami?
Speaker 1 (35:27):
Is it a new version of King of Diamonds?
Speaker 2 (35:30):
I guess King of Diamonds was huge.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
I think it was what was that.
Speaker 4 (35:34):
Two thousand King the Diamonds Monday something some Tuesday. Still outside, y'all,
still outside, Like y'all gotta understand. I'm grown, but I'll
be outside.
Speaker 3 (35:45):
But you know what, you still love music, and that's
and that's the thing, and so well, I'm looking forward
to everything you have going on.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
Make sure y'all check out Where's Christmas?
Speaker 1 (35:53):
Ever? Thank you?
Speaker 4 (35:55):
Yeah, And I truly truly love you. I love what
you're doing for the culture man, rocking and rolling and
keep supporting comedy because because you might might mess around,
do comedy because you kind of funny.
Speaker 3 (36:06):
I mean, but I just want to get on this
bill belling me level at some point in my life,
I'm gonna keep going.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
I'm still working on.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
Let's go, Let's go, all right? Oh no, Will
Check one one two, one two five.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
You're such a professional.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
I'm just gonna make sure I want you Chrispy.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
Bill Bella Me is here, Ladies and gentlemen, we can
learn a lot from him.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
They love me so much. You're so dope.
Speaker 4 (00:17):
You were like you literally are like my sister from
another mother. Because like the thing that I admire about
you is your journey and how you've always been angela
like you, never like you, you everybody favorite cousin.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
That's why I appreciate that.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Yeah, for real, and Bill Bellamy, that means a lot
because I think a lot of people look at your
journey and I want to say your booktop Billan, really
let us see a lot more of that. Yes, you know,
being this kid from Newark, even getting a little glimpse
into your home life.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Yeah, and how all of that went down.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
But I didn't know you had this like big background
and you had an opportunity to work corporate.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
I did that ton of money and said I'm a
bet on myself and that's a valuable lesson.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
Wow, I mean it really is, because it's scary, you know,
to to to chase your dream, you know, like, do
you can I make it. I believe I can. I
see myself, but what what what if I fail? And
sometimes fear stops us from greatness.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
Yeah, I think sometimes it's so much easier to do
things when we don't have that fear, too, because when
you're younger, you could take ignorance.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
Is sometimes don't y Yeah, sometimes I don't know, I
could fly a plan.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
You know what I mean, y'all figure it out, you know.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
I think some of that is is blind ambition for
me because I came from such a poor background. I
just wanted to like disguise the limit. To me, it
was kind of like, if this is the bottom, the
top got to be great. Yeah, you know what I mean,
Like if this is like the struggle and the you know,
oh my god, everybody else got it but me. What
(01:51):
if I just go all the way out, I probably
could do something and I just went.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
For it, you know.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
And you also, with the first grandkid in your family
to even go to college, that's a big response ability too.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
At the same time, there was no way, Ageler, there
was no way I could get out of college. Like, Yo,
they used to call me college your college.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Yo.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
I sweat to god, I'm not even my uncle's head college.
We're good, right, I'm grades going to college.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
I'm like, damn, the third.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Grade, third grade, And I know we're talking about something,
but I just want to say because I haven't spoken
to you since, you know, I had a chance to
read the book. Okay, So that's why I'm saying, there's
just certain things about you because.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
I think, do you feel like you know me better now?
Speaker 2 (02:30):
I do? Okay, I do.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
You're from Newark, you know, and that's interesting because my
parents live in South Thorns, but I didn't move there
until I was in tenth grade, and so there's a
special Jersey thing.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
I feel like it is, you know that happens.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
But even aside from all that, I didn't even realize
you did Deaf Comedy Jam and MTV the same year,
and so that was a and you talk about how
different both of those audiences were.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
Yeah, because what was so interesting about my career was
the timing of everything. Right, I didn't know I would
ever be on MTV. That wasn't like we didn't even
have MTV in my neighborhood. MTV was like came with
HBO or something like I remember I was I didn't
even have a MTV, so Deaf Jam was really the
primary target. Was like, Oh, there's this new show that's
(03:15):
gonna be all about black comedy and it's gonna blowcats up.
Russell Simmons is doing this thing and it's gonna be
fire in New York and I remember hearing whispers about
it when I used to do uptown in Harlem and
I would come from Jersey and do that spot wh
you know, Andre and Kevin and they had that spot popping.
I remember I used to be like seeing salt and
pep up in there. I would see trash and you know,
(03:38):
like yo. This was when Harlem, I mean Harlem Comedy
was everything. Montery Ivey was hosting, Hugh Moore, There's so
many cats, Dougie Doug, I mean, Flex was it coming
through there. Dave Chappelle. So we were all like these young,
you know, hardcore trying to make comedians. So getting on
(04:00):
death Jam I thought was my ticket, which it was.
But then at the same time, me being in New
York and starting a buzz, I got that audition for
MTV and he was looking for and what people don't
know this is.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
A fun fact.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
Todd One was initially the host oh wow, you remember
Todd One?
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Yes, I did.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Yes, So Todd One, who I think remember, if I
remember correctly, was dating MC life for a minute. I
don't know why. I know that. It's a weird fact.
It's a weird fact.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
So Todd One was the initial host and I was,
you know, getting auditioned, and I was auditioned. I didn't
have a job, but at it yet and I'll be
sure was feeling in and yes, and then I took
it from al. They kept passing it. But time, I remember,
I'll be sure used to have his chain wrapped around
(04:53):
his head.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
When he was talking on MTV. I never forget that.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
I was like, why is it Gen't you know what funny?
Alb sure, story, it's not.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
I was at this Remember we used to always have
these music conferences back in the day, and there was
this one.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
I think it was called the Impact Conference. Oh remember that.
We used to have all these kinds.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
It was Jack the Rapper, the Impact and Jack Power Summit,
all these different things. And I remember being there and
Christopher Williams was there and maybe yeah Christopher, and this
woman ran up to him like.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
I'll be sure, I'll be sure. Can I get it.
He didn't even correct the woman. He just took a
picture like he was.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
I was like, guys, you gotta understand in that moment,
it was almost like Christopher Williams.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
And I'll be sure was because because they were interchangeable.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Light skin dudes. You're looking. They had light skin dudes.
They had they had a five summer run.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
I remember that you had to be light skinned, you
look Spanish whatever.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
You know what I mean. They looked Spanish. They was
like the pretty boys. They was from New York and
you know they had the swag and you know Christopher,
I'm friends with both of them. So like Chris had
the baritone, don't wake me, he was him. And then
you know Al had the little whistbury with the jean jacket.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Could it be faking?
Speaker 1 (06:12):
They were both on fire at the same time.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Now, you know, the holiday season is upon us, so
you know that is a good time to be at
home watching movies. Yes, And by the way, I also
flash back to you celebrating Christmas with Mariah back in
the Oh my gosh, I love Mariah.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
Shout out Mariah Carrie. Let me tell you my airy system.
She did the dopest thing for me. This is the
funniest thing. I never told nobody's story about Maria. I
don't think so. Mariah was married to Tommy Mottola at
the time, right, and she used to travel with these
three soprano looking dudes. The guys like Mariah, I won't
(06:51):
GE's gonna be the make up.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Your guys here to do the cinematography, to make sure
the lighting is right. These guys the black Cat, the
black trench cokeeist, you know, slick hair.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
You know you probably got an uncle like that, so
really quick. So they was cool, but they they was
very intimidating.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
They'd be like, yeah, we got other interviews.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
Kid saw uh Mariah two thirty hard out hold out
those guys. So she had this fly ass can go on? Right,
And I said, Mariah, damn, I said that can't go
with super Dupe. Where you get that from? She was like,
I love Kango's bell, you want one? I'm thinking, wait,
watch this. I am not making this up. The girl
(07:33):
sent me the box that they sent to the store.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
It was the biggest.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
Box of Cangos in every color, every style. You got
to Sway joint, the blue, the mess joint. I was like, God, damn,
she rich.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
It's funny.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Hold on, you said, I like you. I should have
said that. I wasn't thinking. You didn't know that I
was kimming it real simple, you know.
Speaker 2 (07:59):

Speaker 1 (08:05):
Nine, got your two ninety nine. You got money, don't an?
Speaker 2 (08:08):
I said, I need to get reimbursed.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Yeah, I owe you that three dollars.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
But anyway, so I love a good holiday movie, yes, ma'a.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
There were some things in that movie that I was like,
this is insane.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
Yeah, you know what I love about Worst Christmas Ever?
Because the title makes you go, what that? And number two?
What I like about it? It's about love and it's
about family, right, So I was.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Like, God, blended family.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
Yeah, blended family, because people living like that they are
you know, you divorce, you got your kids, you still
love your kids, your ex got somebody else, you ain't
got nobody yet you still in love.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Like that's real life. You know what I mean? You'd
be like, yo, high Felicia. Can you can I come
in and say no?
Speaker 3 (08:45):
But can you imagine staying if? And I know you're
very happily married, So that's not But I'm just saying,
imagine staying or somebody staying at their ex.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
House and then she got a new man that you
pay for it and they smashing out. Yeah, you gotta understand.
I used to lay there and this dude is banging
out and I gotta come by and I'm the visitor.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
Now that's a hell of a man. So I always
tell my wife. I say that we don't make it
and we break up. I'm not gonna be a good
baby daddy. I'm already telling you right now, I'm not
don't listen, I'm not him. I'm not him. I'm not
gonna be there. Oh, let's just be nice to each other.
And oh my god, lit'sten all share of the kiuts.
I'm very territory about my kids. Like I'm like, there's
(09:32):
a I'm not playing.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Listen. But you have such great energy.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
I think in general, I don't see how you know
you just I think even with regular fans and people
like people coming up to you, everybody always has good
Bill Bellamy stories.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
Well, I'm very I'm very genuine. Like what you see
is what you get. Like I'm not like nice here
and then mean out there. I mean, if you catch
me while I'm eating, it could be different, because I
think that's crazy.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
I got I got food him, I got a turkey
club in my mind, that's a fact, you know what
I mean, Like I'm not going.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
To ask you for autographing both, or like I'm in
a fly restaurant, my man say how to my wife?
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Real fast birthday people put the phone in your face
and then or they'll be like sneak filming film you.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
It's not cute. I don't like that. Just act, Just ask.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Do you think that? How do you think podcasting?
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Has?
Speaker 2 (10:20):
You know, you had your podcast? Are you bringing that back?
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Okay, so doing that? You think that helps? Also when
you're like on stage doing your stand up. I know
you've been doing stand up for so long, but I'm
wondering if it changes even how you do your show.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
I think I think podcasting is brilliant for people who
have a point of view, Like I think your podcast
is brilliant because what you what you tackle from a female,
you know sort of perspective is probably couldn't.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Be on TV, but you could do it.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
It could now Yeah maybe.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
Whatever, But anyway, so like for me, you know, I'm
coming from the MTV days and interviewing people. I still
love to do that, right, And why like top billing
is that I feel that everyone wants to be top.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Billing in their life.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
Thus top billing, and there's people that are making moves,
and people are creators and people are like music producers,
and they're doing art that I can't believe people are doing,
and they're doing health things that make people healthy. So
I'm meeting so many people through social media, which is awesome,
I mean, and they want to be on the show,
So I try to make it eclectic I love, and
(11:33):
then I get funny stuff out of because you know,
I'm always thinking comedy. Yeah, always think of comedy. So
you're right, I do for.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
You because also as a VJ and a host, you've
done that, so you have experienced there, because there's an
art for speaking to people and making them feel comfortable
enough to platable. But then coming from the comedy side,
having that aspect where it is funny, yes, and you
know women love funny guys.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
And I'm very funny, yeah, very Truman.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
And you've lived a life now you yes. You also
when your book talked about Janet Jackson.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Yes, yeah, you want to talk about Jennet.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Yes, let's talk about I can't even imagine.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Is there can I can't wait to tell you this
go ahead?
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Is there ever? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (12:14):
Because imagine being cool and Janet Jackson calls you and
you're just like vibe a little bit, and then.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
You know, what's so crazy? I probably could have been
with Janet Jackson if I wanted to.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
I was just so weak, Yo.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
There was a there was a mutual like, there was
a mutual energy that I just didn't understand because I
was kind of like, she's super duper famous right now,
she's super number one, She's number one woman in the world.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
I'm mister VJ.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
But she was flirty as fuck with me, like all
the time, and I was just like, it was so funny,
Like if a dude flirt with a girl, you know,
it's kind of cool because you know, that's what we're
supposed to do before the famous for a famous woman
in the world that you admired like for your whole life,
and she's like, oh, Bill and put her hand on
(13:08):
your chest.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
That's kind of crazy you. I'm just like, oh, you
kind of dropped the ball. I dropped the book because
because that's when I saw Jermaine do it. I was like,
I was at the Magic Tap and I fumbled the ball.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
God damn it, that's hilarious.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
I swear to God, what Jamain gut. I was like,
I had the whole I was there and I'm taller.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
But you know, it was a good time.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
And I think things happen the way that's sometimes relationships
have destroyed people's reputations.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
In the public eye too, and then we were better friends.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Shadow things, right, because I feel like Jamaine can't do
no interviews without people being.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Like, how'd you fuck that up? Your every everything?
Speaker 4 (13:54):
But this is the craziest thing when I think back
in my life because I'm you know, I'm kind of
you to Hollywood, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Just think about this music.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
MTV made me hot in the music game, so I'm
you know, I know all the artists, white people, white people,
suburban kids love Bill Bellamy.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Oh my god, he's my favorite VJA. Right, So it's
like all this new, new, new, new, new new.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
I'm I'm having lunch with Tony Braxon about her album.
Shanice Wilson, Jane and Jackson stopped by the beach House.
So I'm getting I'm getting a super duper invite to everything.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Cool in music.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
So when you when you you sitting there with one
of the most famous women in the world and she's
walking around the crib with like, you know, just a
little bikini top born and a little you know, sexy little.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Rap and You're like, I'm not looking.

heart to be a flare, Like, I'm gonna tell you
one more funny, real quick, real quick, please. So this
is so, this is so funny. Right.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
So I'm on tour with Janet and I'm opening up, right,
So something happened with men condition they jumped off, jumped
on another show, and then she called me and I'm
on I'm on the road with Janet, right, And.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
So she had this part of her show where.
Speaker 5 (15:19):
Doom Doom, Doom, anytime any place, bom bom boom boom, right,
and they would grab some dude from random dude and
tie him to this thing, right, and so his arms
is tied to this like thing and she can ride
him like she could get she could get on the
(15:42):
the handleboard like the foot pedal stoops.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
So imagine he's like this like a cross. She crawls
in front of him and she's on top of him
and it spins upside down. They turn slow, right, and
I'm like, yo, she just walked right by me. Picked
me because none of the dudes was really responded like
screaming right, they shaking. I'm like, I would give it.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
To you, and but she never picked me because she
knew I was gonna be and you also were opening.
She brought you out on tour.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
She wasn't gonna let me be on the board, right, No,
I can't work and be on the.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
You can't you be like, what's wrong with him?
Speaker 1 (16:19):
I was like all the.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
Guys, all the guys that seemed to get picked, was
like they were just so spassed out, like shaking and
acting crazy.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
I was like, pig me, I promised you, I'll be
trying to be too cool.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
I would know I would have kissed her though, because
that would have been my time to cross the line.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
I've been right there.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
I'd be like, oh, my bad, Like, you never did that,
act like it was a mistake. Oh, excuse me, I
put tongue in it.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
No, I've never done that.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
No, never, okay, cool only me.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Most recently, on.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
Your social media page, you told the story about Manny Fresh, Oh.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
My god, and you said did you see it?
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Yes? I did?
Speaker 1 (16:55):
It? Was it funny?
Speaker 2 (16:56):
It was funny. But I was also like, I'm sure
manifest no, is that people say this about him? Yes, and.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
This is funny. This is why I took you.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
I'm just wondering, is he gonna be mad?
Speaker 3 (17:09):
No?
Speaker 1 (17:09):
He started following me afterwards when I met him and everything. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
But here's the thing that's so funny about me as
a person. Most people don't know how tall I am. Right,
you may know what I look like, but you don't
know how tall I am. So it's the same thing
about what people really look like. It's supposed to snapshots
of people, right. So the reason I told the story
because it was so freaking funny. From where I was,
I didn't know it was many Fresh. I kind of
(17:35):
I was like, Yo, that's this stud right there DJing.
I was like, Yo, why's the stud? Like I'm trying
to think like, why's the stud DJ in so long?
Because I'm thinking, like, that's right, Yeah, I'm thinking many
Fresh is my size. I'm thinking many Fresh look like
this and that I don't know it's many Fresh. So
I said, yo, I gotta tell the story because the
whole time I'm upset, I'm like, Yo, I cannot wait
(17:57):
to meet many Fresh DJ killing I said, Yo, this
DJ is killing.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
It, but I want Many Fresh. And so my boy
was like, Yo, be white. You tripping. I'm like, yo, man,
I've been We've been here for you for a minute.
I said, where's many Fresh? He was like, he's right there.
I blacked out because he did from Yo, from a distance,
he do look like a stud like he has you know,
you know that, you know that, you know the ones,
you know, the studs that have no they just have
(18:22):
a certain type of He looked like an uncle Auntie.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Man Am I wrong, I'm wrong, but you tagged him.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
You don't look like Auntie Manny.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
I have no comment. I'm not a comedian.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
I'm a comedian. Let me let me do it.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
I can't because he got like a like. The funny
thing about Manny Fresh in person is it's like he
has zero facial hair, not even a mustache, not a
go to and he doesn't have no eyebrows.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
So he just looked like a stud from from the distance.
My bad. But he's but he's really a guy. My bad.
Shout out to all the studs.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Now, did you have a chance to west Eddie Murphy documentary?
Speaker 1 (19:04):
No, only don't tell me.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
I haven't seen it yet either. I just was wonderful.
Speaker 4 (19:09):
It's a long time coming. I think it's an amazing
thing for us to give him his flowers while he
is here and to document his success because it never
happened before. And so I'm so interested because he totally
influenced me to be a comedian. And you know, every
time that I've met Eddie and talked with him, he's
(19:31):
always been so gracious and always just been like a
big bro, like, yo, man, how's your career?
Speaker 1 (19:37):
This? That and the other.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
And I always told it. I was like, if it
wasn't for you, I didn't think being a comedian could
be cool. He made comedy cool to me.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Yeah, so many people did. I think Richard Pryor was
like the blueprint you know, for a lot of people
to And I got to give it up to a
lot of the women comedians today, because I do feel like,
still all in all, a lot of women that are
hilarious don't get the same opportunity.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Yeah, it is hard.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
I'm always looking for girls like we need the balance
in comedy, you know what I mean, Just like in podcasting,
like I said, we need the perspectives on both angles,
the different lenses and stuff like I want to find,
you know, the next Tiffany Hatish, you know what I mean.
Like when when I saw when I had Tiffany Hadish
on Who's got jokes? Nobody knew who she was and
(20:22):
she had like four jokes but they were bananas. They like,
she didn't have an extensive roster of funny. She was
just funny and physical and like fearless about her stand
up right. And so I always look for girls like
that are funny. I'm like, oh man, I need a
girl that could just bring it, you know what I'm saying.
(20:42):
And there's a there's a couple out here that's like, No.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
There definitely are like.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Love comedy, you know I do.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Yeah, like Rodriguez, your Dominique.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Who else? I ran and crows? What's a rita? Rita? Brent.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
She's my girl, just Pam. She's hilarious too.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Yeah, y Jersey girl. I got to see her. I've
not seen her instead of yet.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
So what are your holiday plans?
Speaker 4 (21:11):
So holiday plans, kids home, festive as hell. You know
it's hard now that twenty two nineteen, so you know,
everybody got their real schedule, they got their own cars,
so they like.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Real grown folks.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Are they bringing home like the you know already.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
No, my daughter better not bring nobody, but my son can't.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
You know, come on, you can't do that.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
She's grown, she's twenty two. She could bring somebody, but
she's better not.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
I know you've met one of your daughter's boyfriends before.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
I'm just joking, but like you know, it's so fully
I'm not, but I'm not.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
But here we go.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
So when you have for fathers that love their daughters,
there's definitely a double standard. And I'm like real serious
with my daughter.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
No bums allowed. You know what I'm saying. You know
what I mean? You know NBA no bums allowed. So NBA,
no pumps a louse, real talk. So I'm very very
vocal about you know what you are, Dome, don't come
in here. With a nickel. You feel me. She got
her program tight. She right.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
Double standard is real. Because I'm a little sister. My
brother could do whatever he wanted. He's only a year
and three months older than me. I used to be
so mad growing up. I'm like, he's bringing girls up,
he's going to the room closed, close the door. He
could close the door. I was like, I can't even know.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
I want your windows open and the door open. Angela.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
I got to stand outside.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
I want to.
Speaker 4 (22:31):
I'm matter of fact, I'm putting campus in the room.
You better be sitting way over there. You gotta sit
away over there, like nah, but it is. It's funny,
like I'm sure they're gonna bring you know, somebody home.
It's such a good feeling to have the kids in
the house because you know, now me and my wife
are empty nesters, and so you know, it's now it's
about us again, you know, because we we didn't have
kids right away. I think right into year three we
(22:55):
started having kids. You know what I'm saying. It's like
I think, you know, it's time or whatever. And so
we we did three years of us traveling doing everything. Yeah,
and so it was nice. We did it kind of
the right way. But what's cool now to me is
the fact that we still like each other and like
have fun together. You know, because a lot of couples
(23:15):
break up soon as the kids is done.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
They don't have nothing to comment the kids going by, bitch,
you know. But but we we have fun there.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
So now we're doing things that we couldn't do because
we had all these I mean, the kids just take
over your life, like, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
So with the freedom, you know, we get to really
have fun.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Yeah, it has to feel so different though.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
It is like not having that energy in the house, crazy.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Twenty years of not having been alone, and.
Speaker 4 (23:41):
Yeah, the house will be feeling so bugged out, like
no doors slamming, no music playing.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
My house feel like a library, you know, if it
wasn't for the dogs.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
And you are and you even talk about coming from
like your parents were married growing up, and that was
a rare thing for people for us to be like, okay,
there parents, there's mister Bellamy.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Is that your real daddy. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (24:05):
People used to say that, Oh, that's that's a shame,
that's a shame you still got your real daddy. I
was like, yeah, that's my really good what do you.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
Think when I look at some of like my favorite, uh,
you know, stand up comments, because like you know, I
love stand up comedy of course, you know. I love
watching you do your stand up And I always follow
you on your page too, just to see what clips
that you're posting from.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
From back in the day. I always should now if you.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
Do stuff that's current, but it's not a full special,
so I need to see, you know, some things when
you're when you're touring, and I know you still love touring,

But we do this angelae that's so crazy. At the
end of my show, it's turned into a vibe. So
we do the battle of music. We do two thousand
artists versus nineties, and the amount of crowd participation is
(25:14):
staggering because people are people pick their team. So you
got team two thousand that those are all the people
that's forty and down and then forty and up is
super nineties.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
I love it and it is phenomenal. You you should

Speaker 2 (25:31):
Now when I tell you, those are the tours that

just talking about that.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
It's real.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
He was saying that these artists that are from you know,
the older artists are selling out these tours.

Carrying Monica's up bags. No, she already got a stylist. Okay,
So let me show you how real it is. I
was just in Saint Louis. They were there and that
Sunday night they were performing and there was like eight
women at the bar who came from another city to
see the show. They all grown, I want to say,
they forty five and up. They love Brandy, they love Monica,
(26:25):
and they were like yeah, and then they had Calle
Ruling come out like it's a it's like a woman

he got his tickets, right, man?
Speaker 1 (26:57):
No, man no, may no, may no. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (26:59):
Yeah, it's hard because the women. Here's the thing about
that tour. It's mostly women, and women get what they
want immediately. Don't wait, dudes, be like, yo, man, we'll see.
I ain't gonna be the first. I ain't gonna be
thirsty the first three days. I'm wait and see if
he really coming, you know what I mean? Women be
like I'm going I'm calling Pam, I'm calling Keisha and them,
(27:22):
and we're gonna all go and Felicia. She probably ain't
gonna get a babysitter, but we're gonna see. We're gonna
get her ticket anyway.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
Listen, I have to say I saw you on Sherry
Shepherd also. Oh yes, and one of the things I
think she's y'all were great together. I love that type
of energy. Yes, And so you were talking about like
age and she was saying how everybody's been saying, wow,
Bill Bell and me is sixty years old, he looks
so amazing.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
Yeah, and you were saying, the secret to that is
just that you love what you do. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
I believe that.
Speaker 4 (27:51):
I believe being happy with them and really being passionate
about what you do it takes a lot of stress
off of you. And it doesn't mean and you don't
have bad days and stuff like that. But I feel
like I've always had the energy of like a teenager.
You know what I'm saying my whole life. I've always
looked at life half full as opposed to have empty,
(28:13):
and so I have so much of a passion about stuff.
And I learned that energy from I interviewed this lady.
She was ninety two and she kind of looked like
Lena Hornish, but she looks she had beautiful skin. She
didn't look ninety two at all. I said, miss, what
would you tell me? What is your secret? Why do
you look so good? She said, Baby, don't take life
(28:34):
so serious. People take life so serious and they and
they hold on. She said, if you can't fix it,
let it go.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
You know what.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
I said, Damn, that's amazing.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
And I want to say.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
One thing that's harder today though, I think for the
next generation is social media and all this access, pressure
and pressure.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
Yeah, it's a lot, but also just bullying, like everything.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
I go ahead.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
I saw something that was so dishards It was so
disheartening to see bullying to this level that they were
picking on this girl. So the mom showed up to
protect her daughter, and the girls were so mean that
they start to beat up the girl.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
I seen.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
That was insane.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
That's insane.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
I literally was watching that video. We talked about it
up here.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
It was so sad, and the mother has sickle cell
and it was really sick, and it was her son. Actually,
they were bullying her son, her son. She had a
son and daughter with her, but she had both of
them with her, but they were bullying her son, and
the kids jumped the mom, and she had been talking
to the school about the bullying and everything that was
going on. And now you see like some of the
moms and the kids that jumped her on social media
(29:48):
talking about it.
Speaker 4 (29:49):
What do we do with stuff like that? Like, what
what do we do in a situation when kids are
so desensitized to violence? Like, we would never do that
any First of all, we would never ever talk to
a grown person at that level. We are kids, they
are grown. Another thing, we would never think to harm
(30:11):
an adult, right. And the way that I feel now
is because kids see it so much, they don't think
is real, Like they don't look at it as a
oh my god.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
They just be like, man, let's do this. Man, I
don't care, and they don't have no They.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Want to post it because they see us so much.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
And you know what really hurt when she the mom
did an interview afterward and she said she was having
nightmares about her son, just like yeah, like, what are
you supposed to do after that? And then now you're
on the news and they seen you, They seen your kid.
But a lot of people have been coming together and
trying to like support her. I saw one of the artists,
Little Zayo Sama, was like, I'm gonna fly You'll out
(30:49):
to La take you Christmas shopping.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
They had to go fund me so that the mother
could like move.
Speaker 4 (30:54):
Yeah, you know, here's the thing. And it goes back
to parenting. And and I was at my son's basketball
game and one of my friends who hadn't seen my
son play in a long time, and he just out
of nowhere said to me, Bill, you did a fantastic
job with your children. He said, I just wanna give
(31:15):
you whatever it took that you did to you know,
you and your wife whatever to be able to make
two good people. It's parenting because you got to put
in the time with your kids and draw the line
on discipline and right and wrong and this, that and
the other. There's so many of our kids that are wonderful,
(31:37):
that are ambitious, but they just don't have any guidance.
And you're gonna let the internet raise your kids. You're
gonna let the Internet tell your kids what's cool. And
you don't have a you don't have a thinking what
they call a think take at the crib so we
could talk and say, hey, man, that's wrong.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
How you you That perspective is a little skew. Let's
talk about it.
Speaker 4 (32:00):
You gotta have conversations, real conversations with your kids just
so they can deal.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
We didn't have access, like, yeah, that's the highest compliment
somebody could give you. Though you did a fantastic It.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
Was so random and it gave me goosebumps because you
don't think about that, like your kids could be fucked up, Like.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
You're like, I'm just doing my job as a parent.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
I didn't, you know.
Speaker 4 (32:23):
I love, love, love being a dad. Like I waited,
you know, I wanted to have my own kids, Like
I always dreamed of it. And I never was like,
oh I gotta take my kids to school. Oh my god,
they need pants, or my son needs a basketball thing camping,
my daughter wants to get you know, a little this,
(32:44):
that and the other and go to this ballet school.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
I just was in it because I just loved it.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
How did your daughter react once you found out that
Jeezy made it rain on you?
Speaker 1 (32:54):
She was like, daddy, or you're in the strip club.
She was like that, do you really go to strip clubs.
I was like, that's that was a true story.
Speaker 3 (33:05):
Look at bella page if you want to see the
story of Oh Jez Yo, this can I tell you
Grex significant Pa. So if you go to Atlanta, Magic
City is one of my favorite strip clubs. And I'll
never forget. This was when I put on for My
City was big. I put on and that song was crazy,
even with the Kanye remix.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
You remember that absolutely I put on.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
I just remember, like when it came up, when you
see me up with traffic cooking Gez or some other ship,
I was like.
Speaker 4 (33:36):
Damn, whatever this is, it's crazy. And then Jez came in.
He got the hat to the back. He had like
eight dudes with him, and then they standing there. They
got all the bottles and stuff and I got I
got one of two bottles they got like you then
and I didn't.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
Know this was a thing like the making the rain
thing was big.
Speaker 4 (33:54):
So I'm standing in and I'm looking and there's this
black bag, like a black the bag of money, and
I'm like, damn, he just carry money like that. That's
what he wanted to throw up. And so they was
it was breakeed up.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
It was.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
They giving you like a thousand dollars in once, and
they just hitting chicks in their head with it. It
was they throwing it. It was breaking open and they
opened the pack and they was giving.
Speaker 4 (34:23):
And that's when they said, Remember they said Biebel kept
one of the they said, they said, bibee I was
in there. He put one in his pocket. I was
cracking up because I wanted to do that because I
needed to change. I needed to change.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
So I was like, damn, they throwing all this money
away and it was on top of me too away.
Speaker 4 (34:47):
No, but what I'm saying, it felt like because what
was so funny was so much money. It was just
hit me in the head. I felt like it was
raining on me too.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
I felt very good. I was like, I think, I
just I just put I headed. I'm like this, I
just went.
Speaker 4 (35:03):
I said, these strippers must feel good with all this money.
And then they come and scoop it up like you
know what I mean. They Oh, my god, if you
don't go to Medicity, you don't know what I mean.
But like if you like, you go to Magic City,
you go to King of Diamonds. Back in the day,
been there, done, been there, done that.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
Now where is it that people going Miami. I'm forgetting
the name of the booby booby Trap.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
I've never been a booby trap.
Speaker 2 (35:24):
Is that a strip cup in Miami?
Speaker 1 (35:27):
Is it a new version of King of Diamonds?
Speaker 2 (35:30):
I guess King of Diamonds was huge.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
I think it was what was that.
Speaker 4 (35:34):
Two thousand King the Diamonds Monday something some Tuesday. Still outside, y'all,
still outside, Like y'all gotta understand. I'm grown, but I'll
be outside.
