You know what I'm saying, Well, hopefully we'll be looking
like your skin.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
Will well below it was glowing baby for sure.

Speaker 4 (03:43):
Yes, but we let's get into the show.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
It's a lot going on, guys, all.

Speaker 4 (03:47):
Right, Jess in case you missed it.

Speaker 5 (03:49):
All right, guys, what do you feel about presidential candidates
on streaming platforms with the twitters, the streamers.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
It's important generation z man, you gotta go where they're at.
I think it's genius.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
I think it's a great innovative idea to get young
adults to vote for you because streaming is a new platform,
but it's also a platform that has a lot of
young people. What a president's trying to get you to do,
they're trying to get the black vote, and they're trying
to get young people to vote right.

Speaker 1 (04:20):
And I also think, you know, yeah, remember shout out
to Charlemagne. Someone turns eighteen every day. Their potential new voters,
and you got to go meet them where they're at.
And I believe Trump is very smart, or the person
around Trump is very smart. He's doing what he did
to be Hillary. He's doing he's thinking outside the box.
I've never seen the presidential candidate even acknowledge a streamer before,

(04:44):
so this in itself to me is just I was like, wow, okay,
I'm a what you gonna do?

Speaker 5 (04:49):
But what do you also think about the backlash that
people are giving her for like, don't bring into social media.

Speaker 1 (04:56):
That's stupid social media? Here, man, ain't going nowhere.

Speaker 2 (04:59):
Yeah, I was just now, those are just older people
that are not thinking about the youth. The youth controls
the world, and that's what people don't understand. It's like,
if you are running for office, you want to be
You want to be there to have a second term.
You don't just want to get in office and become
the president and then get beat your next term. So
you need these young people who, like Roy said, is

(05:19):
going to turn eighteen. You need to get these youths.
You need to get people are on the internet.

Speaker 1 (05:24):
I will throw this out there and I will say this,
I'm not really really big in politics myself, but when
it's time to vote, I do educate myself on who
these people are, and I find the person who I
can identify with and I vote for that person. So
I employ implore people to do the same especially the
young folks who you may get turned off because it's

(05:47):
a lot of terms and things that are being said
that you be like, what are they talking about? What's bipartisan?
What's this? And you got to look these things up
and you gotta do the research. So take some time
on the weekend or on your off time and look
up these candidates. Look up there, what they're known for,
what they support, who they are and generations one thing
about generations Z and the end of there, they gonna

(06:08):
find out. They're gonna they gonna dig deep. So who
we just uh not we, but who Kamaa just added
Tim Walls, Tim Tim Wallas. We won't find out if
he is as clean as it shows that he is
so far he is. Well one thing and if y'all
get elected, come on get this, uh, come on, get
this we legalize in Georgia.

Speaker 2 (06:30):
I'm glad you said that because I'm a segue to this. Also,
keep in mind that it's important to vote for your mayor,
to vote for the governor, because those are the people
that have the most.

Speaker 4 (06:39):
Local elections matter.

Speaker 1 (06:41):
For sure, that might be that might be even that
that will that will affect you more than you even know.

Speaker 5 (06:49):
Sure they matter most, you know and affect you more.
Facts Cardi being Offset, damn the divorce.

Speaker 1 (06:59):
Damn wait wait wait the pregnancy.

Speaker 4 (07:02):
The pregnancy.

Speaker 1 (07:03):
Thath boy, my boy then dropped the package off and
then they got about it though. Man, Look, I just
hope I love off Set. That's my brother, that's my guy.
I've only met Cardi once, yeah, once, but I've known
Offset since for a very long time. I just hope.

(07:23):
I just hope they have a good cold parenting situation
and maybe they can work their marriage out. Doesn't look
like they will, but let's just hope for good cold parenting.
They have three beautiful kids, well two but about to
be three beautiful kids together, and let's just hope for
good cold parents because that shit could get nasty.

Speaker 5 (07:40):
Man.

Speaker 1 (07:40):
We won't want no nasty cold parents. Yeah, I mean,
I hope. I hope they can figure it out too.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
I think the first time we could see that there
was actually effort into making a relationship work.

Speaker 1 (07:51):
The marriage worked. But I feel like this time it
looks like it's kind of done. It looks like it's
done this time. Last time, I kept saying, get your
wife back, because.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
You remember, all Set was going on stay age and
bringing rolls.

Speaker 1 (08:02):
I think that was the first first first time. I
can't remember how many, but that's the public.

Speaker 2 (08:05):
That's the that's the public first time that that we
you know, we knew they had.

Speaker 1 (08:09):
But then the last time, you know, she had publicly said,
you know, I'm gonna I'm gonna smash my husband if
I need something because I'm getting horny. So she kept saying.
And I think that they had a little rendezvous. But
I think now it's past. It looks like it's bad.
It looks bad, So I just want them to hopefully
it could be amicably and they can have a good

(08:31):
positive coparating ship.

Speaker 5 (08:33):
Well, what did not inamicably was the closing of Bird Martini.

Speaker 1 (08:37):
Yeah, R and P Red Martini or Georgia, Yeah one
time for Atlanta, Georgia. The biggest party I believe in
Georgia had became this R and B party, Bart's party
that he does with Brian Michael Coxon. I'm gonna bring
you in. But I want to say it started at
sel Lounge, then it went to Medusa yep. Then it

(08:58):
went Red Martini. Nope. Where went after that? After Medusa
we went to Opera, which they changed the name. I
didn't like that, so I didn't like I didn't like it.
I didn't like that was weird. And then we went
to No No, then we went to we went to Republic.
I remember that. I remember that.

Speaker 2 (09:16):
But it's a it's a it's unfortunate because I just
feel like, you know, just with all the success we've
been having, you know, being able to get R and
B a uh, you know, a party and a platform
of people who love R and B and listen to
R and B.

Speaker 1 (09:29):
You just can't go to the club and hear the trap.

Speaker 2 (09:32):
I know it's a lot of fake R and B
parties too, because people say they're doing the R and
B party, and you will go to the You'll go
to the club and then they lay R and B
for one hour and they play hip.

Speaker 1 (09:40):
Hop music for three straight hours. You're like, yo, what's
going on?

Speaker 2 (09:44):
But I think that it's an unfortunate situation because from
what I was told is that there's some underlying beef
with the owner of the club and the landlord, and
the landlord does not like nightclubs, doesn't like lounges. So
the landlord is pressing hard because it's it's a it's
Red Martini. It's something, isn't it called hole in the wall? Right, yes, yep,

(10:07):
it's right there, yeah, yep. So I think I just
think just that area because you got to understand Atlanta
Whiskey Mistress.

Speaker 5 (10:15):
Yeah, until they kicked them out too, like you just
never know for for the audience. It's Red Martini is
located where yeah, yeah, yeah, and that is like very
close to Linux Mall. And they're cracking down very clearly
on clubs, crime and all of that, because recently I
was I heard on the news that thirty percent crime

(10:35):
is down ever since Lenox Mall, uh you know started
to reinforce, you know, with officers and all that in
the long so I guess they're trying to maybe clean
up the area.

Speaker 2 (10:46):
I mean, I think, uh shout out to uh to
Atlanta PD too, because I haven't been to Lenox Mall
and probably about five years, and I went for the
first time. You did enjoy You enjoyed it, right, Yeah,
I actually enjoyed myself. I actually went shop and it
was actually, you know, a great time time.

Speaker 1 (11:02):
Yeah, yeah, it was.

Speaker 2 (11:03):
I only go during the day during the week I
never go on the weekend because it's just you can't
even part.

Speaker 1 (11:08):
But it was smooth. They had everything you could.

Speaker 2 (11:10):
You could tell they change like they got they got
the Apple store in front of them, all like with
you know, with security police officer like you still I
phone out herd you get popped?

Speaker 5 (11:20):
You know what I'm saying, Uh, what do you call
the detectors?

Speaker 2 (11:25):
Yeah, they got they got metal detectors. They're not playing around.
But I just think this, this attack on night life
in Atlanta needs to stop.

Speaker 4 (11:35):
It was an attack on night life.

Speaker 1 (11:36):
I believe that it's an attack on night life.

Speaker 2 (11:38):
But I also understand that clubs being out at a
certain time is not very safe because there are a
lot of people that are prone to you know, crimes
and things of that nature leaving the club people.

Speaker 1 (11:52):
You know.

Speaker 2 (11:52):
But one thing I will say about our party, our
R and B party, is we never had an incident.
We never had a fight, we never had anything. Now
we're only at that club for one day a week.
That club is open six days a week. So we
don't know what issues they could have with the city
or with the landlord that's causing the landlord to push them.

(12:14):
Only thing I know is we look on social media
and they got bottles and sections and everything outside furniture,
bottles like hookahs.

Speaker 1 (12:22):
Everything was on the side. Yeah, so they emptied the
entire club.

Speaker 2 (12:26):
But to say this, like, if you realize Buckhead is
doing away with a lot of the clubs, look at
buckhn Saloon, you know, the first buck Buckhare Saloon. You know,
they made everybody okay, everybody on Sunday got a close
at twelve.

Speaker 1 (12:40):
Now, yeah, you know they kind of messed up the party.
They knew that was gonna happen that.

Speaker 2 (12:44):
But Atlanta was known for partying on Sundays. Everybody knows
because all the celebrities will be in town on Sundays.
So that's how you can get the bang for your buck. Right,
So if you can't open up on Sundays and then
you're telling people, well, people need to come to your
club at seven or eight o clock, man, nobody's coming
to the club.

Speaker 1 (13:01):
You had a party, you had me DJ and that
was misfit. Yeah, I had misfits. Mann.

Speaker 2 (13:06):
Misfits was one of those things, man, about that the
most fun part of that you ever. We played hip hop,
we play Spanish music, we play ed M music, and
around the corner it was around the corner for Buckhea
saloonis in Bucket.

Speaker 1 (13:21):
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (13:21):
So when I love buck Care salon Head theater I had,
I started misfitsing. I told Fri, like, yo, bro, this
is a fun party, and it was. It was a
diverse party.

Speaker 1 (13:29):
To this day. That was my favorite party. That was
my favorite party too.

Speaker 2 (13:32):
So I think the nightlife in Atlanta is just being ruined, man,
And it's like, it's just sad to see, like your favorite.

Speaker 1 (13:41):
Why do you think. I just feel like it's changed now.
I don't. I don't think it's just one thing, but
I do know it's not the time closing early heard
it for sure. A lot of sections, not a damn
floor hurt. I feel like that having the dance floor helped,

(14:04):
But then you know you can't get a bang for
your buck. I see both sides. You know, the consumer
wants to dance, but the owner and the promoter makes
money off of a section, so dancing your section, I think.
I think.

Speaker 2 (14:16):
I think the I think the way they cracking down
on these clubs, like the way the city and the committees,
because people don't understand there's a Buckhead committee, there's people committee, people.

Speaker 1 (14:28):
Vote, That's how I learned when I worked at MEDUSA
they shut us down. And then I believe it was
after MEDUSA got shut down they shut down Man, it
was one Excess x x xx lounge. Yes, it was directly.
It was directly mister Ruggs man. I was his host.
And then yeah, it was in Beaufer Highway that that positive.
Them folks voted and they shut all that down. That's

(14:49):
what people don't understand.

Speaker 2 (14:50):
There's a there's literally a committee of people that decides
what they want in their community.

Speaker 1 (14:55):
And this was gonna say because I know we talk
a little kind of we kind of talk forever on this, but.

Speaker 4 (14:59):
It's because the people need to know, like you guys.

Speaker 1 (15:01):
Are nine life work Now, this is crazy Buckhead, I
mean not Buckheat, Medusa, Excess Lounge, Josephine Lounges, Right, that's Brookhaven.
When breakings and shootings and stuff happened. That's crime that
makes your property values go down. Yep. The people who
vote their own property in that vicinity like hell no, nah,

(15:23):
And they be like, nah, we're voting to shut this
thing down. At twelve o'clock. That was the first strike.
We was like, what they close at twelve? I ain't
even leave it my house till twelve thirty. That first
it went to two, then it went to twelve, and
then after that I knew it was over because Atlanta
don't show up until two am.

Speaker 2 (15:40):
But keep in mind the committee. These people are not
just homeowners. These people are business owners as well. So
they're looking like I don't own a night life.

Speaker 1 (15:49):
They could sit there and say I own a pizza
hood or those plazas when THEY'SE was in that plaza,
it's a whole bunch of other things in that plaza.
And then make your property value go down when it's
a shooting in the parking lot, someone may have got
murdered or r man, what nobody think about it?

Speaker 2 (16:04):
If you think about if you home, If you owned
a home close to a club and a shooting or
incident happens and you're trying to sell your property, but
your your property value goes down, you probably gonna talk
to somebody on the committee like a need to clean it.

Speaker 5 (16:17):
Totally get the committee thing. But it's just like opera.
Like you said, it's called something else, but it was
called opera. That girl got date raped in the club.

Speaker 1 (16:23):
Yep, yell, and changed into domain yup, Like imagine us
for one, shout out to MJ Octavia BT Ferrari and MJ.
MJ has a nightclub and MJ nightclub has nothing but crime.
Us three gonna be like, hey, bro, damn you got
going on over there? Nah that sit down? Two pm. Yeah,

(16:45):
We'll be right back with more of the Baller Alert Show.

Speaker 4 (16:51):
So do you encourage people to get involved in their communities.

Speaker 2 (16:54):
Yeah, People gotta get involved in their community because the
people on social media. People on social media things that
social media is the committee. They think social media is the.

Speaker 1 (17:03):
Community to vote.

Speaker 2 (17:05):
You gotta vote, You gotta go talk to people. You
gotta figure out who's runs the committee in your community.

Speaker 1 (17:10):
People are so fixated on who's over here, who's your
mayor in your district, Who's this, who's that? When other
meeting there are meetings that you can go to. I
didn't know that meeting is in americab County. I am
the mayor of Atlanta. There's a mayor of Cobb. There's
a mayor in South Fulton. By the way, I just
learned that South Fulton is the most highest populated African

(17:33):
Amerfrican American county in the country. I didn't know that.
I didn't know that either. The most black people in
the country the United States of America live in the
South Fulton. I know the idea.

Speaker 4 (17:44):
So, in conclusion, where do you feel like knife like
nightlife will be in the next five years.

Speaker 1 (17:49):
It's just going to be. It's just gonna be restaurants
and lounges, and it's gonna be peaceful. It's gonna be chill.
It's not going to be like the older way that
I saw. I saw, not being Ferrari, just being Sean
and patron. How it was clubs and.

Speaker 4 (18:03):
It was turned up when you first got here, When I.

Speaker 1 (18:05):
First came to Atlanta, when I graduated college two thousand
and nine, and then be coming into the light life,
it was still doing good. But then it started changing.
What year was that, I'd say seventeen eighteen. More sections
started popping up, more things started happening. I feel like
more people started moving here too.

Speaker 4 (18:24):
When you say the sections start popping up, what do
you mean?

Speaker 1 (18:27):
So it used to be a dance floor. I remember
seeing a large dance floor in parties and people dancing
me too. But I can't name one place that has
a dance floor that's a club.

Speaker 4 (18:39):
Can changed it with the sections.

Speaker 1 (18:41):
Ag Ag introduced sections, but I don't think it was
him because he had a dance floor and then everyone
else started doing sections, and then he just started doing
he I remember he opened a lounge and the lounge
was nothing but sections. So I think those things started happening,
and now you have a smaller amount of people. And
then that also changed the way that DJ got paid
because if it's only three hundred people in here, why

(19:03):
would I pay you one thousand dollars when my overhead
is less than that. So I'm thinking of the economics.
I'm thinking about all these things. They're making all their
money off bottle service. So if I could sell a
section for fifteen hundred, I'm gonna put ten of them
in there. Do the math well, keep in mind too,

(19:23):
that's just a night.

Speaker 2 (19:24):
Another thing too, is that the economy isn't where it
used to be.

Speaker 1 (19:28):
People have to understand.

Speaker 2 (19:29):
It's like you go to a club, right, think about
how much it costs before you even walk into the club.
Valet before you get to the club, starting at home outfit,
you get to the club, you gotta pay the valet.

Speaker 1 (19:43):
Got a valet? Guy wants fifty.

Speaker 2 (19:45):
Dollars, you put off the part you're gonna spend more
money on parking, and you put in your gas tank
for the some people won't.

Speaker 1 (19:50):
Then you'll park your car in the area that it
may get broken into. Wow, that's just how You're gonna
park your car on the side of the street, or
you're gonna park maybe a blockdown. They'll charge you ten dollars.
They'll look over it for an hour and then walk away,
because then you'll come back to your car be like,
where's the the person I paid?

Speaker 2 (20:07):
And then think about how much it costs. When you
get into the club, then you have to pay.

Speaker 1 (20:11):
Don't let nobody left their I d Now you got
to pay one hundred dollars to get in. This is
just Atlanta. And then you get in and you don't
want to buy some.

Speaker 2 (20:19):
Drinks regular drink twenty dollars average drink, So you know,
sixteen or twenty dollars.

Speaker 1 (20:24):
You spending some money. Man, you're spending some money. Then
you're gonna be hungry after you leave, or you're gonna
buy some food in there, because a lot of clubs
in Atlanta got good food. That's one thing I will
say that the Chicken Wings is miraculous.

Speaker 4 (20:34):
You think nothing gonn happen to the strip clubs though, right, Nah.

Speaker 2 (20:37):
Nah, the Atlanta but nothing happens at the strip club
You know what I mean, It.

Speaker 1 (20:44):
Should be happening now, but it ain't gonna It ain't
gonna change. But think about this.

Speaker 2 (20:49):
All the strip club areas in Atlanta is not in
the neighborhood.

Speaker 1 (20:54):
Think about it. If you look at Magic City. Look across
the street from Magic City, it's a bus. It's a bus.
Look at look at the flame flame by a gas station.

Speaker 2 (21:03):
Yeah yeah, Look at Onyx.

Speaker 1 (21:06):
Onyx is just in a random.

Speaker 2 (21:07):
Park on the mall Strip. It's next to it's next
to it's next to something Onyx. It's at the corner actually,
and in this way you see that big space that
like yeah, but it's like in strip clubs are like
Grandfather then you know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (21:20):
Like it'd be like a seeing to get rid of
a strip club in Atlanta. Yeah, so what.

Speaker 4 (21:25):
Happens to all the promoters and the nightlife on the
club owners?

Speaker 1 (21:30):
They got to adjust. I know I know a promoter
just right now that ask me for a job, Like,
hey man, they hiring up there.

Speaker 2 (21:36):
I heard but but always tell people this when you
in the night life. This Atlanta is the only city
that I've seen to where promoters have a full time
job being a promoter. When I go to other cities
that's part time, that's say part time job.

Speaker 1 (21:49):
So so I'm always wondering a job. This this fragile.

Speaker 2 (21:53):
Why would you put all your eggs in a in
one you know, a row to just be here when
you go to l A. I know a promoter that's
famous in LA for doing parties, but that's not what
he do for a living.

Speaker 1 (22:06):
I would like to shout out Atlanta and the clubs
and the parties because for about five years of my
life that's all I did. And I was blessed to
be able to do like six different clubs because in
different cities you couldn't do that. You can only club falls.

Speaker 4 (22:20):
For a second, can we talk about that real quick.
The money part of.

Speaker 5 (22:23):
It, it's very lucrative money money like the clubs.

Speaker 1 (22:28):
Well in my day, Damn I sound old, but my day. Yeah,
it was very lucrative for me because I was able
to work for multiple clubs. I was able to work
at Opera, I was able to work for a g
at compound. I was able to do so so on Friday,
I was able to do halo on Wednesday.

Speaker 4 (22:47):
Like, can you give an example of like what you
came home with a week?

Speaker 1 (22:51):
Like you can make up You can make anywhere from
a thousand to possibly three thousand a week cash. It
depends depends on your hustle, who you are, your brand,
how big it is. Then you can you know, you
can make money on the extra stuff too, like hey,
you need you need help. I got six parties, pull
up to me, pull up with me at all my parties,

(23:12):
you walk in with me, I make sure you're good.
I shot you out all night. How much does that cost?

Speaker 2 (23:17):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (23:18):
Yeah, it's a flat feet for this right here. You
know what I'm saying.

Speaker 4 (23:20):
And you're talking about just hosting.

Speaker 1 (23:21):
Yeah, and imagine imagine bottle girls. You know bottle girls.
Are they making a lot of money? A lot of money,
you know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (23:28):
Especially when they get getting tables in the tables that's
fifteen hundred dollars.

Speaker 1 (23:31):
Slow night, So it's empty. You ain't making no money
to see Atlanta. You We were blessed to have moments
where like I'm doing a AG party. It's t I's
birthday and he brings X y Z like it's.

Speaker 4 (23:45):
To other celebrity friends.

Speaker 1 (23:46):
Yeah, man, Atlanta's different. Future just pops up on a
random day if you had a popping party. If he's
in the studio and he leaves, he'll literally say what's
going on tonight? And if someone says, oh, yeah, it's
such and such as POPU to night, He'll just randomly
pull up that. It's hard for artists to get booked
in Atlanta because celebrities spoil you.

Speaker 2 (24:05):
Free we spoil you because like even all the situation
happened with Red Martini at that particular time when they
did so all on social media about the club being
evicted and stuff like that.

Speaker 1 (24:18):
We got too big. We had two big artists that
already had a table booked.

Speaker 2 (24:23):
It's just a random you know what I mean, Like
we are so I'm over here, like, okay, we gotta
figure out.

Speaker 1 (24:28):
I want to catch a vibe like Atlanta now has
turned into a good vibe. So I do think the
R and B parties will will continue to flourish. So
that's why I think it's that it's more so.

Speaker 2 (24:39):
Man, I think they need to stop making army parties. Man,
y'all gotta figure something else out. Man, If I see
one more, damn art, it's about that's about five a
week now. But that's another reason why the clubs are suffering,
because everybody's selling the same food. If everybody is selling hamburgers,
how somebody.

Speaker 1 (24:55):
Ain't gonna make it. Somebody business is not gonna make
it good. I know one is your party, but it's
two good R and B parties. It's one. It's the
one on Monday, yep, shout out the break and it's
the one on Wednesday Monday. Is that suite upstairs? And
then what was the other one? You said, R and
B Wednesday? But shit, what the hell y'all gonna go?
I mean, we're gonna figure it out. If there is

(25:16):
ANIBA mention, that's the third the third one a revel
on Thursday. Like yo, y'all shout out Jay, Chris, shout
out bow tie.

Speaker 5 (25:22):
You didn't tell say what the money was today?

Speaker 1 (25:27):
For me?

Speaker 2 (25:27):
For me, it's great, you know, it's just it's really
just based on your brand, honestly, because it's certain times
like I don't do it anymore.

Speaker 1 (25:35):
But when I first started off, I used to do
like three clubs a night. Yeah, me too. So I would.

Speaker 2 (25:41):
I would find a little restaurant that I could go host.
I'll be there, you know, from from ten to twelve.
I'll find me an early party where I can be
the opening host. I'll do that from you know, uh
uh ten, I mean sorry, from uh twelve to like
one thirty, I will run out that club. I'll try
to go get to a c up at one forty five,
beat her to three thirty.

Speaker 1 (26:02):
You know. So for me, it was really good because
I always have to hustle, you know.

Speaker 4 (26:07):
So can you just want to talk to like the
promoter there, Well.

Speaker 1 (26:10):
I would just build my own relationship. Sometimes it's both. Yes,
they'll meet you together or you know, once you you
start bubbling, you know, people start calling. That's why.

Speaker 2 (26:20):
That's why I realize, if you're really good at what
you do, you don't have to call people.

Speaker 1 (26:23):
People gonna call you, they gonna find you. And that's
just out. That's a different thing. Yeah, you just start out.
You gotta try to get you know.

Speaker 5 (26:31):
So you know Joe blow in his in his small
town want to be a hook club host?

Speaker 1 (26:37):
Yeah, so party hosts, I would say, don't do it.
I was gonna say. Usually people hire hosts who are
already established brands and personalities because it's a familiar voice
and a familiar face. You're a host. It's hard to
start out as a host. I would say, get popular
doing something else. I would say I was.

Speaker 2 (26:58):
I would say, have a skill set, be DJing, learn
how to DJ, because a DJ is more valuable. Get
on the radio, Get on the radio, or get a
popping podcast or something something that can gravitate people to say,
oh I know him.

Speaker 1 (27:12):
But we gotta start being honest with people. And this this,
this is this year.

Speaker 2 (27:15):
Whe I'm gonna start well, I'm gonna start being honest
with people. It's too many damn hosts. It's too many
damn DJs. Some of y'all need to.

Speaker 1 (27:22):
Go to school. Quit. Yeah, yeah, listen, man, I'm fine
with y'all quitting.

Speaker 2 (27:26):
So if you asked me for some advice, you said
you feel like giving up, I'm gonna tell you should
probably give up. You should probably go to college. Go
try to be a lord. You go try to be
a doctor, because we need more of those. We don't
need no more DJs. We don't need no more promoters,
we don't need no more hosts. Is oversaturated? Like damn,
can y'all learn how to use Adobe audition?

Speaker 1 (27:47):
Yo?

Speaker 2 (27:48):
Like for real? For real, It's like it's it's oversaturated.
It's like I don't know anybody.

Speaker 4 (27:56):
Just how to feel about podcasts.

Speaker 1 (27:59):
Hey, that's that's what one of the things that I
said on Big Home shout out to our podcast. We've
been doing podcasts way before people podcasts were popular. See
how long have y'all been doing a ball Alert show?
I was on the first ball Alert show in twenty
and sixteen? How long have you been doing seventeen? See?

Speaker 2 (28:16):
And y'all and y'all motherfuckers just start, y'all need to stop. Man, everybody, No,
you don't tell people to stop. Yes, we have to
be honest with people. If they're everybody every good. Continue
if they're not good, But how do you become?

Speaker 1 (28:29):
But listen, that's the problem. Nobody's telling people they suck.
Everybody's telling people that they're good enough to go do something. Man,
come out, let me at Ferrari Simmons. I'll let you know.
If I let you know, if you need work, if
you need to stop, it's gonna cost, it's gonna call.
Oh yeah, I have my PayPal information like he was free.
But you say, how smooth it? That's y'all in the conversation,

(28:51):
y'all just hit me up. I'm gonna see y'all look
on type of drinking man. Want to have a Drinka
for that? Shout out to drinker man, about to have
our skin. Can't wait? Take this to the house to
the wife. We'll be right.

Speaker 3 (29:00):
Stay tuned with more of the Ball or Alert Show.
It's love versus money on the Ball or Alert Show.

Speaker 4 (29:08):
All right today, well of love versus money.

Speaker 5 (29:10):
I'm gonna give the couple and you let me know
if it's love or is it just business.

Speaker 4 (29:16):
Today we have Big Sean and Janey Iyoka.

Speaker 1 (29:18):
Oh that's love. No, that's love. That's love. They are
just they just had you know, it's just a it's
a moment that they haven't. I don't like what Big
Sean said one time for Big Sean's my guy. I
don't like what Big Sean. I don't like what he
said though that marriage. About marriage, I feel like as
a married person you're always gonna go through things regardless.

(29:38):
So you're gonna go through things whether you're married or not.
You can go through things with you in a regular
relationship or not. So to say you want things to
be right before you get married is kind of saying, Okay,
do I really want to be with this person. If
that's your person, marry the person that you want to
be with and go through those things and grow through
those things with that person together. That's what a marriage
actually is, getting through things together and overcoming them together.

(30:02):
That's what marriage is.

Speaker 5 (30:03):
And then deciding factors if you are willing to deal
with that for the rest of your life.

Speaker 1 (30:08):
Yeah, that's that. Be it. I feel like that's what
he had, That's what he needs to say or think
in his mind, like, all right, is that my person
that I want to go through the bullshit with?

Speaker 2 (30:22):
So that's what you saying. So basically what you're saying,
he's not ready to be married.

Speaker 4 (30:25):
Yeah, that's it.

Speaker 1 (30:26):
That's it.

Speaker 2 (30:27):
I would rather just say that matter of fact, just
tell her that she's like, I'm not ready to get
married yet.

Speaker 1 (30:32):
I can tell he don't want to answer that question, but.

Speaker 2 (30:33):
He answered because he kind of went it was like
it was like an eight.

Speaker 1 (30:38):
It was like, dude, what are you doing? What do
you saying? This is actually worse than actually.

Speaker 4 (30:43):
Saying you don't want to marry.

Speaker 1 (30:44):
Yeah, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 5 (30:45):
I know she like what But in the answer, you
can tell that he's not ready.

Speaker 1 (30:51):
That's what I'm saying. We can tell. So I would
just say on me, I know, man, and who's married.
I know it's love though I know he clearly loves
that lady, that woman. I know he loves that woman,
and I know she loves him. But I think that
they're probably they're in a funk. And sometimes couples go
through a funk. See Robby knowing it, Robby knowing relationship.

(31:13):
I'd be laying to say, my marriage with my wife
Tannisia is perfect. We be going through funks too, but
I know I want to be with her. So the
way that I view it is I'm not going to
be mad at her to a point where I hate
you or something like that. It's gonna be all right.
She getting on my nerves, but this is my person.
Let me figure out how to work through this, work
through this with her. She's not feeling me right now,

(31:34):
and it's okay, let's work through this. But you have
to go through it to understand it too.

Speaker 2 (31:40):
But how is how important it is for somebody to
have a kid with somebody's question for both of y'all
and her.

Speaker 1 (31:47):
Parenting is crazy. But I'm saying, but it's like people.

Speaker 4 (31:54):
More commitment to have kids versus marriage.

Speaker 1 (31:56):
Yes, that's it. They're different types of commitments because you
can have a dope cold parenting situation with somebody and
then not be with them. But then you can also
have a difficult one because like someone may have someone
may be super strict, someone may be super not strict,
and then now you, guys, are someone may have religious
beliefs about certain certain things, like cold parenting is very difficult,

(32:19):
or it can be completely opposite and be easy.

Speaker 4 (32:21):
But it's also a commitment.

Speaker 1 (32:23):
It's a call, it's that's a lifelong commitment to share
a child.

Speaker 5 (32:27):
But that's what a lot of the comments will bet saying,
like a lot of people are saying, well, having a
child with somebody is more than of a commitment than
a marriage.

Speaker 1 (32:35):
Well, I would like to say, because I mean, so
my religious beliefs are when I'm committed to my wife
through marriage, this that's a forever commitment for me. Same
thing with the kids and the mothers of my kids.
I have two mothers of my I have two outside
kids of my marriage before my marriage, and I have
a lifelong commitment to them with my child. Now, is

(32:55):
it a lot easier because my kids are older? Hell yeah,
my sixteen year old and my twelve year old by
thirteen year old. It's easy to communicate because I could
just text them, and then of course I still have
to talk to mom about like the very serious things.
But the communication is so easy because I could call
them and they're older. My sixty year old, she's a teenager,
she's in eleventh grade. We can have a complex conversation,

(33:16):
how are you doing? Da da da da, And she'd
be like that da da da da. All right, Well
make sure you talk to your mom about this or
all right, cool, I'll talk to Tanisa about this. Blah
blah blah blah blah. So we having a complex conversation
a baby. You can't talk to the baby. You gotta
talk to the parent. So it it's levels to it.
You gotta take time. This shit takes time.

Speaker 2 (33:34):
So you think it's so you think it's more of
a commitment having a kid than being married.

Speaker 1 (33:39):
I feel like it's different levels, Tom, I feel like, man, yes, man,
I can't answer that because it's it's it's it's so,
it's so deep married all right, it's deep. Pause, it's deep.
Like I could tell that they well from outside looking
there that Big Sean and Janey, I feel like they

(34:00):
each other's person. They look so good together. They look
like they fit. If they're a puzzle in nine years,
so it looks like they're just going together nine years.
It looks like they're going through something. And if you
listen to their joint album, you could tell that there's
something there between both of them, like, oh wow, you
guys make great music together. Also, ye bro that album,

(34:21):
that joint project that they put out was so far.
I listened to that. I don't you know, y'all know me.

Speaker 2 (34:26):
I don't like R and B. But one time of
that acho, I went to the concert, took my daughters
for their birthday, and my wife, I ain't gonna lie.

Speaker 1 (34:32):
She lit it lit. I went to the concert. We
stayed the whole time. Usually I'd be ready to get
up out of there.

Speaker 4 (34:38):
She brought out B two K recently too.

Speaker 1 (34:41):
Yeah she she did. No, I didn't know she had
a full sister, say mama, So I don't know how
o Marion was on her little fizz.

Speaker 5 (34:48):
All right, man, when that leads us to our pep talk,
we need a pep talk out of here, Rory.

Speaker 4 (34:51):
And you've been, you know, speaking love all this time?
You got any love? Pep talk?

Speaker 1 (34:56):
Uh to stop lying? Stop lying to each other like
you know. Sometimes in that sometimes it could be I
ain't talking to the gods talking to the ladies too, Like,
just stop lying, stop lying to yourself, stop lying to
each other, keep it all the way abuck. I feel
like that trims away all the bullshit up front. If

(35:17):
something's going on, you feel away about something, man, please
could overy communicate with the person. This could be in
friendships too, I've learned in friendships sometimes everybody ain't meant
to go with y'all all the way through. Okay. You
could be best friends with somebody for five six years
and then all of a sudden things happen and you
ain't friends like that no more. It's okay, It's okay.

Speaker 4 (35:39):
Ten people grow apart.

Speaker 1 (35:40):
Some people grow apart. Stop lying now, stop lining.
