Comedian and 85 South Show star Chico Bean joins The Fumble for a hilarious and unfiltered conversation about the state of modern sports. Chico weighs in on the dangers of sports betting, saying “everything’s rigged if I lose,” and calls out fans who gamble on Chinese ping pong and scream at their families over busted parlays . He also shares his thoughts on Jake Paul’s impact on boxing, why he respects the hustle, and how social media is rewriting the business side of the sport.From athlete scandals to cultural commentary, Chico dives deep into why some players risk everything, the psychology of fame, and what happens when athletes grow up shielded from real-world consequences. He also talks about DC vs. North Carolina hoopers, Matt Rife’s comedy influence, and why he’d pick Ray J over Tyrese and Soulja Boy on a 15-hour road trip.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
That's why I do on sports bet Everything rigged.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
If I lose, if I put my money down, everything rigged.
But I blame I say this all the time the
dudes man like, stop with the sports betting. Like you,
that's your financial plan for the future. You're parlay hitting.
Now you walk around the house mad at everybody in
the house because you ain't win ten million.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Dollars off of fifteen dollar bet. Come on, Slim.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
We have a very special guest on the show with
us today. He's a comedian and actor best known for
his impact on the hit show Wilding Out. You can
also catch him right now on the eighty five South Show.
Please welcome the one and only Chico Bean to the Fumble.
Thank you so much for coming on with us.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Thank you for having me. I appreciate you.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
Yeah, we appreciate you, g brother. I'm a huge fan
of your comedy style. Man. I miss the days where
you could cut ass on somebody and get away.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
From us.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
Calls. But you know what I mean. You know we
say that in Jersey you cut ass. You gotta cut
asshen you on that stage, mister crowd work. You know
what I'm saying. People are very sensitive today so the
fact that you can do it, get away with it,
and be masterful at it, it's a blessing to.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
See man research brother for show for show.
Speaker 4 (01:09):
It feels like not just your generation, but your immediate
circle has changed comedy forever. Do you think that what
you guys have built can ever be duplicated or was
this like the perfect time for this kind of thing
to culmini.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
I don't know about being duplicated, because you know, everything
is original when it's something like what we've done. But
I think that we've laid a blueprint to where people
could follow it and do something very similar. That was
the purpose, just opening the door that had never been
opened before. So now people see that it's possible to
actually do the style of comedy that we do, especially
with the eighty five South Show, because you know, comedy
(01:43):
is an individualistic sport. It's like boxing, you know what
I mean. It's usually you and the microphone and the crowd.
But for us to be able to show that they
could be done in a different capacity, I think that
it opens doors for the next generation and the guys
that come after us to be able to do it
in a way that it wasn't done before.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Us, and I think that's probably.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
One one of the pieces that we're the most proud
of is being able to kick in the daughter hadn't
been kicked down in a game that you know, We've
had all kinds of legends come through this game that've
kicked down doors for us, and for us to find
one that was you know, ain't nobody ever went through
this one before, you know what I mean, that's one
of the best possibout what we do.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Yeah, and you were on Wild and Out, Like I
mentioned in your intro, the impact that you had on
that show, Like I really look forward to seeing you
on there. Kind of just talk to us about how
you even got on the show.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Oh man, it was a process. You know, our auditioned.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
I probably was the only person that had to audition
as many times as I had the audition because I
started doing comedy in North Carolina right outside of Winston
Salem in Greensboro, North Carolina. The Greensboro Comedy Z owner
is my home club, and I was doing a show
called the Freestyle Funny Comedy Show, which myself beat out
Darren brand Osama Ben's Drinking a guy named Burpie out
(02:52):
of North Carolina, but doing it every first Sunday.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Of the month. Burkey's my guy.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Yeah, But Nick had a radio show at the time,
and he was doing like his promo run where he
was doing like just stop dates in certain cities, and
he came to North Carolina and did a mock wild'n
out audition. It wasn't even a real audition, I found
out after I went, But I went and did so
well that he invited me to the real audition. Then
I went to the rail audition and auditioned there and
(03:17):
did well and had to come back and audition again
and did well again.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
And that's how I made the show.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
So I went to A and T. You went to
Winsalem State University. So everybody out there who went to
an HBCU, But in North Carolina, all of my guys
swear up and down to y'all are the hoop state.
So where do you rank North Carolina in terms of
the hierarchy of quality basketball in these United States of Americas.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Well, you know, I'm from Washington, d C.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Born and raised, and DC to me is one of
the places where you know, they stole a crossover from US.
But as far as North Carolina, I mean, you know,
you got Duke in North Carolina. Man, that's probably, if
not the biggest rivalry in college basketball all so, you know,
the state is known. It's like North Carolina and to me,
(04:06):
like Indiana would be the two that are the biggest
when it comes to especially college basketball. You know NBA
is a little different. You know, you got the Charlotte
Hornets and all of that, but college and then you
have so many HBCUs in North Carolina. I think it's
the highest concentration of HBCUs in one state.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
So just you know the way that sports impacts the state.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
I would definitely say that basketball has just as much
of an impact as football in North Carolina, which is
a lot of places you can't say that.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
So would you take DC over North Carolina in terms
of hoopers?
Speaker 2 (04:38):
I would we take DC over anybody in terms of hoopers.
I'm taking DC over.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Everybody, over LA, over Chicago.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Over every day. Do you not understand the definition of everybody?
That's everybody?
Speaker 4 (04:49):
But like, listen, everybody, let's be objective. Now, let's not
be a homer.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Think about I have to be objective. Who think about it?
Think about it?
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Make me be objective when it comes that I am biased.
I am taking DC Hoopers over everybody period.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Okay, so you are from DC, So who do you
root for?
Speaker 4 (05:07):
Because I know they do Wizards.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
No, No, I'm not a Wizards fan. I do actually
don't have a basketball team. I'm just a fan of
the sport in general. You know, I have my favorite players.
You know, KD is one of my favorite players. You know,
I love Steph, I love bron you know what I mean,
an ant man and you know it's a bunch of
different players that I rock with. But I don't have
a specific basketball team. You know, Ai is my favorite
(05:30):
basketball player of all time, you know those type of things.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Football.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
I'm a Broncos fan, and the reason I'm a Broncos
fan is I'll explain. The reason I'm a Broncos fan
is because I grew up in Washington, DC watching the
Redskins and the Cowboys cause so much dissension between the
people in my family and in the streets and at
the barbershop. My first job was at the barbershop brushing
people off for dollars.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
And I've saw more fights.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
I mean, people fight over the Cowboys and Redskins more
than they do over anything else in the city.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
So I just didn't want to have anything to do
with either one of those teams.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
So I remember I was sitting at home one day
watching the game and I seen these cream Sigle uniforms
and I was like, that's my team. And it's been
my team ever since then. So I'm a big Broncos fan.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
They're doing well right now too.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Yeah we win it now.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
But you know, that's the thing about football, that's what
makes football such an interesting sport.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Man. It's one and done, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
You can go sixteen to o and lose in the
first round and be done, and it's you know, that's
how I go.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
I don't know if you keep up with college football
at all, but Michigan head coach just got fired and
arrested because he was smashing the stafford got her pregnant.
What is it about the white men? Allegedly, but for real,
what is it about the white mid man that makes
these negroes go crazy and risk it all like this?
Speaker 1 (06:52):
It's a thing. He was hitting a white man mid
mid mid me.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
She ain't look good.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
She wasn't white mid oh white.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Give a little bit more backstory.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
I was about to say I need more contacted that
you didn't hear about this.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
I have no idea what you're talking about.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Yeah, he said that he didn't, but she was apparently
his executive assistant.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
He used door dash to order a plan B and
yes we could.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Do that to his office. Listen, man, oh my god,
that's great.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
And he's a this is a black man head.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Football coats now no more.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
No, he's the one that Jim Harbaugh said, this is
who I want to be my successor.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Oh okay, okay, well, I mean what was the question?
Now that I know the detail?
Speaker 4 (07:45):
Do you think that do you think that athletes have
an affinity for white men? Do you do you ever
see a correlation between because I don't see some things. Man,
I'm not worked around the sports industry for a while.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
I don't see white I don't.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
That's just you know, me as a black man, that's
something that I never really understood.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
But I as I.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Kind of matriculated through my own life and became a man,
I can understand where it comes from. Because a lot
of especially star athletes, they have been given their way
for a very long time. And I wouldn't know from experience,
but from what I've been told, it is, you know,
in a white mid as you call it, it's in
(08:27):
their nature to be more you know, just okay, whatever
you say up front. And I think that it makes
it easier for guys to deal with that versus a
black woman who is going to hold you to a standard.
Our women hold us to a standard they see us.
And that's the reason why I personally don't understand it,
because I only think that a white woman can you know,
(08:51):
she can sympathize with you, but she can't empathize with you.
You can never feel me the way that a black
woman is going to be able to feel what I'm
going through. But when you're a star athlete, you've never
really had to have anybody feel what you're going through
because you've been given everything because of your talent. And
I think that's something that makes them, you know, kind
of gravitate towards that side because of the fear of
(09:12):
somebody telling you, you know, we ain't going for that.
I'm not with that, I'm not doing that. You know
what I'm saying, What do you mean you're not doing that?
What do you mean I can't What do you mean
you don't agree. And another big part is you got
to look at guy's relationships with their mothers.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
That's a big part of it as well.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
If a person doesn't have a positive relationship with their mom,
then they're probably going to try to find something that
looks different than what gave them life and gives birth
to them.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
So I think those two things play a big part
in my opinion.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
For me, it's like the risk, you're taking such a
huge risk and you lose everything by doing that. Why
do you think that for some people it's easy to
do that.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
I think it's easy to do it because you know,
all you have had to work at is being talented
at one thing. You got to think a star athletes,
somebody who's really a star has been a star probably
since the sixth grade. Usually guys who are great athletes
through high school and through college, they've been good since
(10:13):
elementary school. So you think, if you've been a star
at something that everybody loves to watch, the whole community
surrounds you when you especially if you like I'm from
the inner city of Washington, DC, if somebody was a
star athlete the city, no matter what the environment of
the city is, it's gonna be guys who shelter you
and keep you away from everything.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
You're going to have to venture out on your own.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
You're going to have to revel to be a part
of the things that the normal percentage.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Of the population is going to have to be a
part of.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
When you're a star athlete, so you're protected so long
that you don't have the ability to be able to
recognize the risk as it comes because you don't know
what that looks like. Everybody around you has shielded you
from that, And when you get into a situation with
a woman, that's the easiest way to get caught up,
because that's when you release all of your protection.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
For the most part, it's just.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
You and this woman laying in this bed, and then
your most intimate details are shared, and who you really
are shared in this space. So I think that they
just don't have the ability to be able to recognize
it because of the shield and that they've been given
for so long. You think, if somebody you know has
been getting protected their whole life, you ain't never had
to get into a fight because everybody fights for you,
(11:26):
and then when it comes time for you to throw
a punch, you don't know how to do it because
you've never had to before. And I think that's how
they get caught. I think it's just a layer of
protection that's put over athletes that you know, if you've
never been an athlete, you couldn't really understand that level
of protection, especially a great athlete.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
It's a lack of development. They lack the development of
interpersonal skills, an understanding of how to read, the room
for lack of better phrasing. There's just a little bit
of lack in certain areas. They pour so much into
being an athlete, and nowadays, because sports is three sixty
five like, there really isn't much room for anything else
other than the development of their professional careers.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Exactly. Yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
Want to transition a little bit because I love comedy
and I love sports, but very rarely, actually never have
I seen a comedian that comes across athletic at all.
You correct me if I'm wrong, But are there any
comedians out there that you think you've seen them shoot
a basketball in a decent way, throw a football and
look adequate?
Speaker 1 (12:21):
In the world of sports, it's some boys that can.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
It's some boys out here that can that can go
You know what, I'm saying me being one of them.
I'm I mean, I'm not anywhere near as good as
I used to be, But I got some footage up
on my Instagram to show you know, Oh yeah, for sure.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
What high school did you go to with DC?
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Dumbbar Dumbbar Senior high School? I graduated high school with
Vernon Davis. Vernon Davis that played for the San Francisco
forty nine ers.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
He's an actor.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Now it's my guy. We graduated high school together. But
you know what I mean, I'm very, very athletic. You
know I still actually this year have you know, went
on a journey of losing weight, found that I had
high blood pressure and had to make some changes.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
So I'm down what forty nine pounds now, you.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Know, I'm running every day and you know I boxed
my whole life too, so you know that's that's my
favorite sport.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Boxing is my favorite sport.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
So you know what I mean, I do that still,
And you know it's some athletic guys out here.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
It's some guys that can play ball.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
Could you put together a start in five or a
competitive five from the world of comedy?
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Oh man, a competitive five from the world to comedy.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
I'm trying to think of who I've seen ball.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
I mean, I put fly down, I've seen flyball, I've
seen los ball lows for sure. I just seen Mike
Epp shoot some jumpers. He got a decent j So
I take Mike he was Yeah, he was a shooter.
Who was another DC guy, which is why I take
the ball is over. That's your guy. But yeah, well
he's gonna be infenditivet the way you tried to make
me not take the balls.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
He know the drill. Listen, he salutes Cash from Jersey
all day. But we ain't gotta do that wing.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
But yeah, like I was saying, so, well, you know what,
I take Lee through Shooter.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Lee through Shooter is a community shooter. He'd be shooting.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Marbles in the water bottles and all that. That's hilarious.
So I'm taking Lee through Shooter too, and me. Yeah,
that's the five right there.
Speaker 4 (14:15):
Okay, you said that you are a boxer. Do you
watch boxing right now?
Speaker 1 (14:20):
I love boxing, yes, So I want to.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
Ask you, like your thoughts on a guy like Jake
Paul kind of infiltrating the sport of boxing in the
way that he has.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
I mean, you gotta respect it because boxing is not
a sport that you can pretend. You gotta get hit,
you gotta get punched, you gotta get in the ring.
That's the beauty of boxing to me. Like you go
through this whole process of training, three four months of
training camp, and you go through all of this conditioning
and not eating his skin off chicken and just everything
that you gotta do to prepare yourself for a boxing match.
(14:50):
But when that bell ring, it's just you an opponent.
And that's what makes the sweet sign so beautiful to watch.
And somebody like Jake Paul, you gotta respect that, not
even just the skill. He might not be as skilled
as somebody who's dedicated their life to it, but his business,
the business of boxing, which has always kind of had
a black eye with how the boxes get done and
(15:11):
how they get cheated out all their money, and then
all of those things for him to be provided the
type of opportunities financially for boxes that he's been able
to provide in a short amount of time through social
media and the advent of you know, all of these
different platforms that you can use to promote yourself. You
gotta love it, you know, what I'm saying. I love
anything that is expanding. You know, you might not understand it,
(15:33):
but I tell people all the time, don't get left behind.
One of the things that I try to make people
look at when it comes to progression is at one point,
the Eedger sketch was the iPad, and eventually the iPad
is going to be just as irrelevant as the Edger sketch.
And if you don't want to stay stuck on the
edge of sketch, you better start figuring out how to
use what's popular and what's going on now. And that's
what Jake Paul is doing. He's updating the algorithm in
(15:56):
regards to boxing. So I have no problems with what
it is that he's doing. You know, I personally think
that it's cool that he's fighting Anthony Joshua because one
of my only knocks was, you know what I mean,
you can't be fighting anybody Slim, Like, come on, man,
you why is come on? Why is you fighting Al
Roker Slim Like stop?
Speaker 1 (16:15):
You know what I mean? You can't do that fight
some real fighters.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
So Anthony Joshua is a real fighter, So I'm definitely
looking forward to seeing how he does with this, and
I think that if he wins this fight, you gotta
respect him as a real boxer.
Speaker 4 (16:28):
Even if I did hear I did hear there might
be a clause in Anthony Joshua's contract that states that
he can't he can't go full out. But we'll see
whatever the fight happens.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
That's that's that's just that's what I mean. Like, even
if it is you had to pay me for that.
If you put that in my complex, in my contract
that I can't go all out, then pay me not
to go all out. And I'm all for that, man.
I'm all for you know, dudes getting their money. And
if you create a lane like that, then there might
be places for people who didn't get their money doing
(16:59):
their regular career to be able to jump back in
the ring and get a payday.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Man. So there ain't nothing wrong with that.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
And if you don't in the beauty of life that
I think people don't grasp is if you don't like it,
don't watch it, you know what I mean, Like it's
that simple.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
You don't have to tune in, you know.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
I never you know, I never understood that perspective when
it comes to people, like people being mad at things
they don't have anything to do with. Like I can't
stand bananas. I hate them eat yuck. They are nasty.
But if I see you eating one, I'm not gonna
walk up to you like, hey, man, no, you ain't
over eating a monkey grizzy?
Speaker 1 (17:31):
What are you doing? Oh? What is what is you?
What's up with you? Man? How dare you eat a
monkey glizzy in my presence?
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Like, it's just don't tune in if you don't want
to watch it, man, But you know what I mean
as a fan of the sport, if as a boxing purist,
I can understand why you feel frustrated.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
But it's just all perspective. It's all in how you
look at it.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
So then as a boxing periost, I'd be remiss if
I didn't ask. It's especially you being from DC. Now
we obviously saw Jake Paul was sled with the take
on Tim Davis. That fight didn't happen, but that fight
actually got in the way of Lamar Roach getting his
rematch with Tank Davis. What did you think about Tank
kind of leaving the traditional structure of boxing to fight
Jake Paul and then just talk about Lamar Roach as
a boxing general.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Just and Lamont roach man like, I don't know what
it is with my youngin man, but they need to
stop doing Slim like this. They got him thirty, won
both fights. I'm sorry he I mean, you can say
what you want to say. He beat Tank and he
beat pit Bull and for some reason they want to
short this man and he putting in all of that
(18:33):
hard work. Slim work, hard man. He's a hard working fighter.
I've seen him. He worked his ass off and most
people doubted that he would be able to do what
he did against Tank. And then if you watch the
fight and you have two eyes, you saw what he
did against pit Bull. I mean eight four seven five
if you being gracious, and for them to call it
(18:55):
a majority draw and the first judge, whoever the first
judge was that order for Pitbull. It's like, Slim, come on, man,
you must have had the prize pick in because it
ain't nowhere in the world, like ain't nowhere in the world.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
Man.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
So so, and we've been talking about this a lot lately.
The integration of gambling into the sports world corrupts the
ability to trust the outcomes of certain certain events.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Yeah, everything rigged.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
If I lose what's everything rigged? That's why I don't
sports bet. Everything rigged. If I lose, if I put
my money down, everything rigged. But I blame I say
this all the time the dudes, man, like, stop with
the sports betting. Like you, that's your financial plan for
the future. You're parlay hitting.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Now you walk around the house mad at everybody in
the house.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Because you ain't win ten million dollars off of fifteen
dollar bet.
Speaker 4 (19:45):
Come on, Slim, that's the new Robin Hood. That's the
new stock exchange for a lot of people. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Man, it's ridiculous, man, it's a Ponzi scheme. Like, ain't
nowhere in the world.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
You in there now, you that rode a message the
lebron James cussing them out because you and he ain't
get ten points and you bet on the sh You
talking about this man family and all types of stuff. Man,
you terrible slim like dad man, miss ridiculous man, You
not gonna listen. Stop letting that be your financial plan
for the future. Man, get some health insurances and some insurance.
(20:15):
That's real plans for the future. Stop betting twenty five
dollars and now you in the house yelling at your baby,

You're from Atlanta. Okay, cool, that's what it is.
Speaker 3 (21:06):

Speaker 1 (21:13):
Because they're not getting Yeah, you're walking out, man.
Speaker 2 (21:17):

You betting on anything. Dudes be betting on anything. When
I seen my man betting on Chinese ping pong, I said.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Oh, Slim, that's real.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
No, that's a true story. He was betting on Chinese
ping pong. He was like, man, he was you know
what his strategy was. He was betting on the people
who had the name it was hardest to pronounce. He
was like, if I can't pronounce their name, they probably good.
I said, Slim, you got a problem to go see somebody. Man,
got to see the lady. You gotta you gotta see somebody.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Man. You in there betting on ping poul?
Speaker 4 (22:09):
I got. I got a couple more little quick, quick
hitter questions.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
No takeing time, man, Okay, cool.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
These questions are random, sporadic. They ain't make no sense,
no rama reason.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
But okay.
Speaker 4 (22:19):
Do you feel bad for women who be waiting outside
the club in the winter with the summer dress on?
Or do you judge them?
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Do I feel bad for them? No?
Speaker 2 (22:25):
They should have been picked the better club. If you
standing outside as a woman in front of the club.
You went to the wrong club. That's the club. Gotta
let the women in for free. That's been the club
since the club and the club ladies free before you
know what I'm saying. So if you standing outside, baby,
you do with the what the clubs they not let
the right people. They gotta let your cat, so go
to another club. They no reason for no woman to
(22:46):
be standing outside of no club.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
Are you judging, Rodney? Yeah, I judge. When they got
the summer dress on in the winter and they standing
outside coatis hell, open toe shoes, I'm like, you know,
you could wear jeans to the club. Ladies, y'all could
wear boots to the club. Them little ass sheen dresses
is not meant for the fall and winter. That's a
spring in summer attire.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
You're gonna tell somebody not to wear an outfit that
cost nineteen dollars in twenty eight cent that came I.
Speaker 4 (23:08):
Want them to be warm.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
They came with jewry slim That nineteen dollar outfit came
with earrings or watch a chain.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
I'm wearing.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
It was nineteen dollars and take that away from them.
They got a whole nineteen dollar outfit. They came with
all types of accessories. They got a grill, they came
with it everything ninety.
Speaker 4 (23:27):
They got a nineteen dollars dress. They got a twenty
five dollar sweater. You gotta put something on. It's it's
cold out here.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Baby, I'll waste my twenty five.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
You know what if they get off shed for twenty
five dollars, that's both sweaters I got you. They got
a deal on Black Friday, they had sweaters with nineteen
cents slim.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
You can't judge them for that.
Speaker 4 (23:46):
Man, what's worse getting dumped on or making some or
somebody making you fall?
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Somebody making you fall, somebody making you fall, because that's
what I used to be able to do. I had
never been able to dunk. So somebody making you falls
way more embarrassing like somebody dunking on you. Dunking on you.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
They dunk on you is like oha.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
But if somebody make you fall, it's like oh, and
then they still got the ball.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
Once I dunk on you to play over, we get
the ball back, I can.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Hurry up and inbound and throw the ball in and
keep the play moving and try to make him forget
about it. You fall and I can stand there and
look at you on the ground and point and do
all that making somebody falls way worse.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
If you could have any comedian whoever lived open up
for you, who would it.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Be, any comedian that ever lived open up for me?
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Well, since you asked the question in that context, I
will probably say Patrise O'Neill.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Patrise O'Neil.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
Why Patrise?
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Patrise is brilliant the way that he was able to
make the most complex message sound so simplistic. That's a
skill right there, and Patrise was one of the greatest
at that.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
So definitely Patrise O'Neill.
Speaker 4 (24:54):
Having an opener a tricky though, because like if they
too good, it raises, it raises the ball, makes.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
You work, make you work that you gotta love that.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
That's something that we embrace over this side, like we
love to see something different. We love to see you
go out and kill because that's where we come from.
We come from out of the trenches. When it come
to that, like coming in on the wild'ing out in
the area that we were in, it was yeah, it
was doggy dog. So it trains you to be a beast,
you know what I'm saying. And so that that wouldn't
be a problem.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
You know.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
I liked it for dudes to go out and be
hilarious before me because that makes me go out and
do exactly what I was supposed to do. And if
people pay to come see you, then that's your job anyway.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
So and it ain't no pressure.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
If you had to go on a fifteen hour car ride,
who would you rather have in the car with you,
ray J, Soldier Boy or Tyrese?
Speaker 2 (25:39):
Probably ray J, just so I can listen to one
wish over and over again, like I love one wish, bro.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
That's one of my favorites.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
So as a matter of fact, there was the one
who said I love you verse. It was about eight
years ago. Don't act like you don't know. We were
sitting home and your mama's living cause we couldn't be alone.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Because your mama knew I'm something that is crazy.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Then we were in school and then what's your excuse
bringing up? I was the food and I gave my
high miss listen and don't you here thing I needed
about him? With that genie, He's maish I want to create.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
I don't want to keep that. Yeah, definitely ray J.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
Ray J sitting still fifteen hours.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
Sound crazy, man, He so he's not gonna be able
to sit still. We're gonna be singing one wish.
Speaker 4 (26:28):
On a scale of one to ten, how would you
rate Matt Ripe's crowd work?
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Matt Ripe's crowd work?
Speaker 2 (26:32):
Matt is a beast, So you know what I mean,
I say a tend because his the way that he
chose to bring into the game changed the hole scope
of comedy.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
What you see comedy as now.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Were people doing all of those clips and putting up
CrowdWork clips and all of that. Like the format that
Matt started. That's what everybody's doing now. Like you know
what I'm saying. We been doing crowd work. That was
the advent of the five South show. We've been doing it.
But what Matt did was Matt took it and put
it on TikTok and nd it just clips and putting
(27:08):
it out that way.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
And that changed the whole game. That changed comedy.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
You have to do that now, so you gotta give
it a ten because he started it.
Speaker 4 (27:15):
Who has the more interesting fan based comedians or battle rappers?
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Battle rappers?
Speaker 2 (27:20):
I'm gonna say battle rappers just because you know you
from Jersey. Jersey's yeah, because they just the way that
you know, the battle rappers.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
Man, they be in a battle talk to them. You
already know, talk to them.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Talk to him, talk to that, talk to him, talk
to him like that would be annoying to a comedian,
Like every time I told the joke, Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Talk to him, Chico, make him laugh. But dude, you
know battle rappers they in the back. Talk to that. Yeah,
let him know, let m know, let him know. That's
what I'm talking about.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Yo, Like that did Battle Rapper, but for sure, Jersey,
and it's a much more hostile environment.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
And with battle Rappers too, the environment is much more hostile.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
So you gotta be a certain type of person even
want to be on stage with Battle Rappers. Jersey, talk
to him and your son talk to rotany.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
So they.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
So like, oh my god, run that back, run that
back one more time.
Speaker 4 (28:30):
I said, yoh, Jersey, Oh man, I love that. I
love battle.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Man.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
I come from all filing out, I come around some
of the best man, so you know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (30:01):
Up the
Speaker 1 (30:05):
Back.
That's why I do on sports bet Everything rigged.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
If I lose, if I put my money down, everything rigged.
But I blame I say this all the time the
dudes man like, stop with the sports betting. Like you,
that's your financial plan for the future. You're parlay hitting.
Now you walk around the house mad at everybody in
the house because you ain't win ten million.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Dollars off of fifteen dollar bet. Come on, Slim.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
We have a very special guest on the show with
us today. He's a comedian and actor best known for
his impact on the hit show Wilding Out. You can
also catch him right now on the eighty five South Show.
Please welcome the one and only Chico Bean to the Fumble.
Thank you so much for coming on with us.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Thank you for having me. I appreciate you.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
Yeah, we appreciate you, g brother. I'm a huge fan
of your comedy style. Man. I miss the days where
you could cut ass on somebody and get away.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
From us.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
Calls. But you know what I mean. You know we
say that in Jersey you cut ass. You gotta cut
asshen you on that stage, mister crowd work. You know
what I'm saying. People are very sensitive today so the
fact that you can do it, get away with it,
and be masterful at it, it's a blessing to.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
See man research brother for show for show.
Speaker 4 (01:09):
It feels like not just your generation, but your immediate
circle has changed comedy forever. Do you think that what
you guys have built can ever be duplicated or was
this like the perfect time for this kind of thing
to culmini.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
I don't know about being duplicated, because you know, everything
is original when it's something like what we've done. But
I think that we've laid a blueprint to where people
could follow it and do something very similar. That was
the purpose, just opening the door that had never been
opened before. So now people see that it's possible to
actually do the style of comedy that we do, especially
with the eighty five South Show, because you know, comedy
(01:43):
is an individualistic sport. It's like boxing, you know what
I mean. It's usually you and the microphone and the crowd.
But for us to be able to show that they
could be done in a different capacity, I think that
it opens doors for the next generation and the guys
that come after us to be able to do it
in a way that it wasn't done before.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Us, and I think that's probably.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
One one of the pieces that we're the most proud
of is being able to kick in the daughter hadn't
been kicked down in a game that you know, We've
had all kinds of legends come through this game that've
kicked down doors for us, and for us to find
one that was you know, ain't nobody ever went through
this one before, you know what I mean, that's one
of the best possibout what we do.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Yeah, and you were on Wild and Out, Like I
mentioned in your intro, the impact that you had on
that show, Like I really look forward to seeing you
on there. Kind of just talk to us about how
you even got on the show.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Oh man, it was a process. You know, our auditioned.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
I probably was the only person that had to audition
as many times as I had the audition because I
started doing comedy in North Carolina right outside of Winston
Salem in Greensboro, North Carolina. The Greensboro Comedy Z owner
is my home club, and I was doing a show
called the Freestyle Funny Comedy Show, which myself beat out
Darren brand Osama Ben's Drinking a guy named Burpie out
(02:52):
of North Carolina, but doing it every first Sunday.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Of the month. Burkey's my guy.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Yeah, But Nick had a radio show at the time,
and he was doing like his promo run where he
was doing like just stop dates in certain cities, and
he came to North Carolina and did a mock wild'n
out audition. It wasn't even a real audition, I found
out after I went, But I went and did so
well that he invited me to the real audition. Then
I went to the rail audition and auditioned there and
(03:17):
did well and had to come back and audition again
and did well again.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
And that's how I made the show.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
So I went to A and T. You went to
Winsalem State University. So everybody out there who went to
an HBCU, But in North Carolina, all of my guys
swear up and down to y'all are the hoop state.
So where do you rank North Carolina in terms of
the hierarchy of quality basketball in these United States of Americas.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Well, you know, I'm from Washington, d C.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Born and raised, and DC to me is one of
the places where you know, they stole a crossover from US.
But as far as North Carolina, I mean, you know,
you got Duke in North Carolina. Man, that's probably, if
not the biggest rivalry in college basketball all so, you know,
the state is known. It's like North Carolina and to me,
(04:06):
like Indiana would be the two that are the biggest
when it comes to especially college basketball. You know NBA
is a little different. You know, you got the Charlotte
Hornets and all of that, but college and then you
have so many HBCUs in North Carolina. I think it's
the highest concentration of HBCUs in one state.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
So just you know the way that sports impacts the state.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
I would definitely say that basketball has just as much
of an impact as football in North Carolina, which is
a lot of places you can't say that.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
So would you take DC over North Carolina in terms
of hoopers?
Speaker 2 (04:38):
I would we take DC over anybody in terms of hoopers.
I'm taking DC over.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Everybody, over LA, over Chicago.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Over every day. Do you not understand the definition of everybody?
That's everybody?
Speaker 4 (04:49):
But like, listen, everybody, let's be objective. Now, let's not
be a homer.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Think about I have to be objective. Who think about it?
Think about it?
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Make me be objective when it comes that I am biased.
I am taking DC Hoopers over everybody period.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Okay, so you are from DC, So who do you
root for?
Speaker 4 (05:07):
Because I know they do Wizards.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
No, No, I'm not a Wizards fan. I do actually
don't have a basketball team. I'm just a fan of
the sport in general. You know, I have my favorite players.
You know, KD is one of my favorite players. You know,
I love Steph, I love bron you know what I mean,
an ant man and you know it's a bunch of
different players that I rock with. But I don't have
a specific basketball team. You know, Ai is my favorite
(05:30):
basketball player of all time, you know those type of things.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Football.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
I'm a Broncos fan, and the reason I'm a Broncos
fan is I'll explain. The reason I'm a Broncos fan
is because I grew up in Washington, DC watching the
Redskins and the Cowboys cause so much dissension between the
people in my family and in the streets and at
the barbershop. My first job was at the barbershop brushing
people off for dollars.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
And I've saw more fights.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
I mean, people fight over the Cowboys and Redskins more
than they do over anything else in the city.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
So I just didn't want to have anything to do
with either one of those teams.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
So I remember I was sitting at home one day
watching the game and I seen these cream Sigle uniforms
and I was like, that's my team. And it's been
my team ever since then. So I'm a big Broncos fan.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
They're doing well right now too.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Yeah we win it now.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
But you know, that's the thing about football, that's what
makes football such an interesting sport.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Man. It's one and done, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
You can go sixteen to o and lose in the
first round and be done, and it's you know, that's
how I go.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
I don't know if you keep up with college football
at all, but Michigan head coach just got fired and
arrested because he was smashing the stafford got her pregnant.
What is it about the white men? Allegedly, but for real,
what is it about the white mid man that makes
these negroes go crazy and risk it all like this?
Speaker 1 (06:52):
It's a thing. He was hitting a white man mid
mid mid me.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
She ain't look good.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
She wasn't white mid oh white.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Give a little bit more backstory.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
I was about to say I need more contacted that
you didn't hear about this.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
I have no idea what you're talking about.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Yeah, he said that he didn't, but she was apparently
his executive assistant.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
He used door dash to order a plan B and
yes we could.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Do that to his office. Listen, man, oh my god,
that's great.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
And he's a this is a black man head.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Football coats now no more.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
No, he's the one that Jim Harbaugh said, this is
who I want to be my successor.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Oh okay, okay, well, I mean what was the question?
Now that I know the detail?
Speaker 4 (07:45):
Do you think that do you think that athletes have
an affinity for white men? Do you do you ever
see a correlation between because I don't see some things. Man,
I'm not worked around the sports industry for a while.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
I don't see white I don't.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
That's just you know, me as a black man, that's
something that I never really understood.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
But I as I.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Kind of matriculated through my own life and became a man,
I can understand where it comes from. Because a lot
of especially star athletes, they have been given their way
for a very long time. And I wouldn't know from experience,
but from what I've been told, it is, you know,
in a white mid as you call it, it's in
(08:27):
their nature to be more you know, just okay, whatever
you say up front. And I think that it makes
it easier for guys to deal with that versus a
black woman who is going to hold you to a standard.
Our women hold us to a standard they see us.
And that's the reason why I personally don't understand it,
because I only think that a white woman can you know,
(08:51):
she can sympathize with you, but she can't empathize with you.
You can never feel me the way that a black
woman is going to be able to feel what I'm
going through. But when you're a star athlete, you've never
really had to have anybody feel what you're going through
because you've been given everything because of your talent. And
I think that's something that makes them, you know, kind
of gravitate towards that side because of the fear of
(09:12):
somebody telling you, you know, we ain't going for that.
I'm not with that, I'm not doing that. You know
what I'm saying, What do you mean you're not doing that?
What do you mean I can't What do you mean
you don't agree. And another big part is you got
to look at guy's relationships with their mothers.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
That's a big part of it as well.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
If a person doesn't have a positive relationship with their mom,
then they're probably going to try to find something that
looks different than what gave them life and gives birth
to them.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
So I think those two things play a big part
in my opinion.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
For me, it's like the risk, you're taking such a
huge risk and you lose everything by doing that. Why
do you think that for some people it's easy to
do that.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
I think it's easy to do it because you know,
all you have had to work at is being talented
at one thing. You got to think a star athletes,
somebody who's really a star has been a star probably
since the sixth grade. Usually guys who are great athletes
through high school and through college, they've been good since
(10:13):
elementary school. So you think, if you've been a star
at something that everybody loves to watch, the whole community
surrounds you when you especially if you like I'm from
the inner city of Washington, DC, if somebody was a
star athlete the city, no matter what the environment of
the city is, it's gonna be guys who shelter you
and keep you away from everything.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
You're going to have to venture out on your own.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
You're going to have to revel to be a part
of the things that the normal percentage.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Of the population is going to have to be a
part of.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
When you're a star athlete, so you're protected so long
that you don't have the ability to be able to
recognize the risk as it comes because you don't know
what that looks like. Everybody around you has shielded you
from that, And when you get into a situation with
a woman, that's the easiest way to get caught up,
because that's when you release all of your protection.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
For the most part, it's just.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
You and this woman laying in this bed, and then
your most intimate details are shared, and who you really
are shared in this space. So I think that they
just don't have the ability to be able to recognize
it because of the shield and that they've been given
for so long. You think, if somebody you know has
been getting protected their whole life, you ain't never had
to get into a fight because everybody fights for you,
(11:26):
and then when it comes time for you to throw
a punch, you don't know how to do it because
you've never had to before. And I think that's how
they get caught. I think it's just a layer of
protection that's put over athletes that you know, if you've
never been an athlete, you couldn't really understand that level
of protection, especially a great athlete.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
It's a lack of development. They lack the development of
interpersonal skills, an understanding of how to read, the room
for lack of better phrasing. There's just a little bit
of lack in certain areas. They pour so much into
being an athlete, and nowadays, because sports is three sixty
five like, there really isn't much room for anything else
other than the development of their professional careers.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Exactly. Yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
Want to transition a little bit because I love comedy
and I love sports, but very rarely, actually never have
I seen a comedian that comes across athletic at all.
You correct me if I'm wrong, But are there any
comedians out there that you think you've seen them shoot
a basketball in a decent way, throw a football and
look adequate?
Speaker 1 (12:21):
In the world of sports, it's some boys that can.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
It's some boys out here that can that can go
You know what, I'm saying me being one of them.
I'm I mean, I'm not anywhere near as good as
I used to be, But I got some footage up
on my Instagram to show you know, Oh yeah, for sure.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
What high school did you go to with DC?
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Dumbbar Dumbbar Senior high School? I graduated high school with
Vernon Davis. Vernon Davis that played for the San Francisco
forty nine ers.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
He's an actor.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Now it's my guy. We graduated high school together. But
you know what I mean, I'm very, very athletic. You
know I still actually this year have you know, went
on a journey of losing weight, found that I had
high blood pressure and had to make some changes.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
So I'm down what forty nine pounds now, you.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Know, I'm running every day and you know I boxed
my whole life too, so you know that's that's my
favorite sport.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Boxing is my favorite sport.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
So you know what I mean, I do that still,
And you know it's some athletic guys out here.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
It's some guys that can play ball.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
Could you put together a start in five or a
competitive five from the world of comedy?
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Oh man, a competitive five from the world to comedy.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
I'm trying to think of who I've seen ball.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
I mean, I put fly down, I've seen flyball, I've
seen los ball lows for sure. I just seen Mike
Epp shoot some jumpers. He got a decent j So
I take Mike he was Yeah, he was a shooter.
Who was another DC guy, which is why I take
the ball is over. That's your guy. But yeah, well
he's gonna be infenditivet the way you tried to make
me not take the balls.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
He know the drill. Listen, he salutes Cash from Jersey
all day. But we ain't gotta do that wing.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
But yeah, like I was saying, so, well, you know what,
I take Lee through Shooter.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Lee through Shooter is a community shooter. He'd be shooting.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Marbles in the water bottles and all that. That's hilarious.
So I'm taking Lee through Shooter too, and me. Yeah,
that's the five right there.
Speaker 4 (14:15):
Okay, you said that you are a boxer. Do you
watch boxing right now?
Speaker 1 (14:20):
I love boxing, yes, So I want to.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
Ask you, like your thoughts on a guy like Jake
Paul kind of infiltrating the sport of boxing in the
way that he has.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
I mean, you gotta respect it because boxing is not
a sport that you can pretend. You gotta get hit,
you gotta get punched, you gotta get in the ring.
That's the beauty of boxing to me. Like you go
through this whole process of training, three four months of
training camp, and you go through all of this conditioning
and not eating his skin off chicken and just everything
that you gotta do to prepare yourself for a boxing match.
(14:50):
But when that bell ring, it's just you an opponent.
And that's what makes the sweet sign so beautiful to watch.
And somebody like Jake Paul, you gotta respect that, not
even just the skill. He might not be as skilled
as somebody who's dedicated their life to it, but his business,
the business of boxing, which has always kind of had
a black eye with how the boxes get done and
(15:11):
how they get cheated out all their money, and then
all of those things for him to be provided the
type of opportunities financially for boxes that he's been able
to provide in a short amount of time through social
media and the advent of you know, all of these
different platforms that you can use to promote yourself. You
gotta love it, you know, what I'm saying. I love
anything that is expanding. You know, you might not understand it,
(15:33):
but I tell people all the time, don't get left behind.
One of the things that I try to make people
look at when it comes to progression is at one point,
the Eedger sketch was the iPad, and eventually the iPad
is going to be just as irrelevant as the Edger sketch.
And if you don't want to stay stuck on the
edge of sketch, you better start figuring out how to
use what's popular and what's going on now. And that's
what Jake Paul is doing. He's updating the algorithm in
(15:56):
regards to boxing. So I have no problems with what
it is that he's doing. You know, I personally think
that it's cool that he's fighting Anthony Joshua because one
of my only knocks was, you know what I mean,
you can't be fighting anybody Slim, Like, come on, man,
you why is come on? Why is you fighting Al
Roker Slim Like stop?
Speaker 1 (16:15):
You know what I mean? You can't do that fight
some real fighters.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
So Anthony Joshua is a real fighter, So I'm definitely
looking forward to seeing how he does with this, and
I think that if he wins this fight, you gotta
respect him as a real boxer.
Speaker 4 (16:28):
Even if I did hear I did hear there might
be a clause in Anthony Joshua's contract that states that
he can't he can't go full out. But we'll see
whatever the fight happens.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
That's that's that's just that's what I mean. Like, even
if it is you had to pay me for that.
If you put that in my complex, in my contract
that I can't go all out, then pay me not
to go all out. And I'm all for that, man.
I'm all for you know, dudes getting their money. And
if you create a lane like that, then there might
be places for people who didn't get their money doing
(16:59):
their regular career to be able to jump back in
the ring and get a payday.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Man. So there ain't nothing wrong with that.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
And if you don't in the beauty of life that
I think people don't grasp is if you don't like it,
don't watch it, you know what I mean, Like it's
that simple.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
You don't have to tune in, you know.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
I never you know, I never understood that perspective when
it comes to people, like people being mad at things
they don't have anything to do with. Like I can't
stand bananas. I hate them eat yuck. They are nasty.
But if I see you eating one, I'm not gonna
walk up to you like, hey, man, no, you ain't
over eating a monkey grizzy?
Speaker 1 (17:31):
What are you doing? Oh? What is what is you?
What's up with you? Man? How dare you eat a
monkey glizzy in my presence?
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Like, it's just don't tune in if you don't want
to watch it, man, But you know what I mean
as a fan of the sport, if as a boxing purist,
I can understand why you feel frustrated.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
But it's just all perspective. It's all in how you
look at it.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
So then as a boxing periost, I'd be remiss if
I didn't ask. It's especially you being from DC. Now
we obviously saw Jake Paul was sled with the take
on Tim Davis. That fight didn't happen, but that fight
actually got in the way of Lamar Roach getting his
rematch with Tank Davis. What did you think about Tank
kind of leaving the traditional structure of boxing to fight
Jake Paul and then just talk about Lamar Roach as
a boxing general.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Just and Lamont roach man like, I don't know what
it is with my youngin man, but they need to
stop doing Slim like this. They got him thirty, won
both fights. I'm sorry he I mean, you can say
what you want to say. He beat Tank and he
beat pit Bull and for some reason they want to
short this man and he putting in all of that
(18:33):
hard work. Slim work, hard man. He's a hard working fighter.
I've seen him. He worked his ass off and most
people doubted that he would be able to do what
he did against Tank. And then if you watch the
fight and you have two eyes, you saw what he
did against pit Bull. I mean eight four seven five
if you being gracious, and for them to call it
(18:55):
a majority draw and the first judge, whoever the first
judge was that order for Pitbull. It's like, Slim, come on, man,
you must have had the prize pick in because it
ain't nowhere in the world, like ain't nowhere in the world.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
Man.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
So so, and we've been talking about this a lot lately.
The integration of gambling into the sports world corrupts the
ability to trust the outcomes of certain certain events.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Yeah, everything rigged.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
If I lose what's everything rigged? That's why I don't
sports bet. Everything rigged. If I lose, if I put
my money down, everything rigged. But I blame I say
this all the time the dudes, man, like, stop with
the sports betting. Like you, that's your financial plan for
the future. You're parlay hitting.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Now you walk around the house mad at everybody in
the house.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Because you ain't win ten million dollars off of fifteen
dollar bet.
Speaker 4 (19:45):
Come on, Slim, that's the new Robin Hood. That's the
new stock exchange for a lot of people. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Man, it's ridiculous, man, it's a Ponzi scheme. Like, ain't
nowhere in the world.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
You in there now, you that rode a message the
lebron James cussing them out because you and he ain't
get ten points and you bet on the sh You
talking about this man family and all types of stuff. Man,
you terrible slim like dad man, miss ridiculous man, You
not gonna listen. Stop letting that be your financial plan
for the future. Man, get some health insurances and some insurance.
(20:15):
That's real plans for the future. Stop betting twenty five
dollars and now you in the house yelling at your baby,
because you in there betting.

sense to me, man.
Speaker 4 (20:34):
Yeah, I got it, Smarty, you got more questions.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Maria being there laughing at that dude, she know that
be sports betting because she didn't see them walking around
the house in his draws cussing out the dog. Get
out of here. I can't believe in Lamar Jackson they
throw for three other yard. All I need was three
under yards. Ou would have bought a yachtamorrow, like ip it.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
Man, No, it is bad though it is gotten bad again.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
I'm from Atlanta.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
You're from Atlanta. Okay, cool, that's what it is.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
And we know, Yeah, seen at a game and people
are literally like upset.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Because they're not getting Yeah, you're walking out, man.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
I knew it was rigged. Man, I knew it was rigged.
I watched the documentary on YouTube. They told me it

forty dollars down that I knew. I wouldn't, man, Man,
I never better getting in to ma. You in there

You betting on anything. Dudes be betting on anything. When
I seen my man betting on Chinese ping pong, I said.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Oh, Slim, that's real.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
No, that's a true story. He was betting on Chinese
ping pong. He was like, man, he was you know
what his strategy was. He was betting on the people
who had the name it was hardest to pronounce. He
was like, if I can't pronounce their name, they probably good.
I said, Slim, you got a problem to go see somebody. Man,
got to see the lady. You gotta you gotta see somebody.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Man. You in there betting on ping poul?
Speaker 4 (22:09):
I got. I got a couple more little quick, quick
hitter questions.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
No takeing time, man, Okay, cool.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
These questions are random, sporadic. They ain't make no sense,
no rama reason.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
But okay.
Speaker 4 (22:19):
Do you feel bad for women who be waiting outside
the club in the winter with the summer dress on?
Or do you judge them?
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Do I feel bad for them? No?
Speaker 2 (22:25):
They should have been picked the better club. If you
standing outside as a woman in front of the club.
You went to the wrong club. That's the club. Gotta
let the women in for free. That's been the club
since the club and the club ladies free before you
know what I'm saying. So if you standing outside, baby,
you do with the what the clubs they not let
the right people. They gotta let your cat, so go
to another club. They no reason for no woman to
(22:46):
be standing outside of no club.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
Are you judging, Rodney? Yeah, I judge. When they got
the summer dress on in the winter and they standing
outside coatis hell, open toe shoes, I'm like, you know,
you could wear jeans to the club. Ladies, y'all could
wear boots to the club. Them little ass sheen dresses
is not meant for the fall and winter. That's a
spring in summer attire.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
You're gonna tell somebody not to wear an outfit that
cost nineteen dollars in twenty eight cent that came I.
Speaker 4 (23:08):
Want them to be warm.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
They came with jewry slim That nineteen dollar outfit came
with earrings or watch a chain.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
I'm wearing.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
It was nineteen dollars and take that away from them.
They got a whole nineteen dollar outfit. They came with
all types of accessories. They got a grill, they came
with it everything ninety.
Speaker 4 (23:27):
They got a nineteen dollars dress. They got a twenty
five dollar sweater. You gotta put something on. It's it's
cold out here.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Baby, I'll waste my twenty five.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
You know what if they get off shed for twenty
five dollars, that's both sweaters I got you. They got
a deal on Black Friday, they had sweaters with nineteen
cents slim.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
You can't judge them for that.
Speaker 4 (23:46):
Man, what's worse getting dumped on or making some or
somebody making you fall?
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Somebody making you fall, somebody making you fall, because that's
what I used to be able to do. I had
never been able to dunk. So somebody making you falls
way more embarrassing like somebody dunking on you. Dunking on you.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
They dunk on you is like oha.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
But if somebody make you fall, it's like oh, and
then they still got the ball.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
Once I dunk on you to play over, we get
the ball back, I can.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Hurry up and inbound and throw the ball in and
keep the play moving and try to make him forget
about it. You fall and I can stand there and
look at you on the ground and point and do
all that making somebody falls way worse.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
If you could have any comedian whoever lived open up
for you, who would it.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Be, any comedian that ever lived open up for me?
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Well, since you asked the question in that context, I
will probably say Patrise O'Neill.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Patrise O'Neil.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
Why Patrise?
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Patrise is brilliant the way that he was able to
make the most complex message sound so simplistic. That's a
skill right there, and Patrise was one of the greatest
at that.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
So definitely Patrise O'Neill.
Speaker 4 (24:54):
Having an opener a tricky though, because like if they
too good, it raises, it raises the ball, makes.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
You work, make you work that you gotta love that.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
That's something that we embrace over this side, like we
love to see something different. We love to see you
go out and kill because that's where we come from.
We come from out of the trenches. When it come
to that, like coming in on the wild'ing out in
the area that we were in, it was yeah, it
was doggy dog. So it trains you to be a beast,
you know what I'm saying. And so that that wouldn't
be a problem.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
You know.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
I liked it for dudes to go out and be
hilarious before me because that makes me go out and
do exactly what I was supposed to do. And if
people pay to come see you, then that's your job anyway.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
So and it ain't no pressure.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
If you had to go on a fifteen hour car ride,
who would you rather have in the car with you,
ray J, Soldier Boy or Tyrese?
Speaker 2 (25:39):
Probably ray J, just so I can listen to one
wish over and over again, like I love one wish, bro.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
That's one of my favorites.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
So as a matter of fact, there was the one
who said I love you verse. It was about eight
years ago. Don't act like you don't know. We were
sitting home and your mama's living cause we couldn't be alone.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Because your mama knew I'm something that is crazy.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Then we were in school and then what's your excuse
bringing up? I was the food and I gave my
high miss listen and don't you here thing I needed
about him? With that genie, He's maish I want to create.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
I don't want to keep that. Yeah, definitely ray J.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
Ray J sitting still fifteen hours.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
Sound crazy, man, He so he's not gonna be able
to sit still. We're gonna be singing one wish.
Speaker 4 (26:28):
On a scale of one to ten, how would you
rate Matt Ripe's crowd work?
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Matt Ripe's crowd work?
Speaker 2 (26:32):
Matt is a beast, So you know what I mean,
I say a tend because his the way that he
chose to bring into the game changed the hole scope
of comedy.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
What you see comedy as now.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Were people doing all of those clips and putting up
CrowdWork clips and all of that. Like the format that
Matt started. That's what everybody's doing now. Like you know
what I'm saying. We been doing crowd work. That was
the advent of the five South show. We've been doing it.
But what Matt did was Matt took it and put
it on TikTok and nd it just clips and putting
(27:08):
it out that way.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
And that changed the whole game. That changed comedy.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
You have to do that now, so you gotta give
it a ten because he started it.
Speaker 4 (27:15):
Who has the more interesting fan based comedians or battle rappers?
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Battle rappers?
Speaker 2 (27:20):
I'm gonna say battle rappers just because you know you
from Jersey. Jersey's yeah, because they just the way that
you know, the battle rappers.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
Man, they be in a battle talk to them. You
already know, talk to them.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Talk to him, talk to that, talk to him, talk
to him like that would be annoying to a comedian,
Like every time I told the joke, Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Talk to him, Chico, make him laugh. But dude, you
know battle rappers they in the back. Talk to that. Yeah,
let him know, let m know, let him know. That's
what I'm talking about.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Yo, Like that did Battle Rapper, but for sure, Jersey,
and it's a much more hostile environment.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
And with battle Rappers too, the environment is much more hostile.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
So you gotta be a certain type of person even
want to be on stage with Battle Rappers. Jersey, talk
to him and your son talk to rotany.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
So they.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
So like, oh my god, run that back, run that
back one more time.
Speaker 4 (28:30):
I said, yoh, Jersey, Oh man, I love that. I
love battle.

I started this podcast 5 years ago to invite you into conversations and workshops that are designed to help make you happier, healthier and more healed. I believe that when you (yes you) feel seen, heard and understood you’re able to deal with relationship struggles, work challenges and life’s ups and downs with more ease and grace. I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose. I can’t wait for you to listen to your first or 500th episode!
