• 2:15
  Speaker 1: another side of you. There's a business side of you
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: that's what money making conversations is about. I also know
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: that like Tuesday, you know, the reality show the fourth
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: season a Ricky Smiler for a real kick off. We
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: want to talk about that. Because you were shocked that
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: I watched your show. I was colder to start, you know,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: I know you and cooking, you know, with your crazy
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: because I was watching the show, and I'm talking about you.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: You were watching it weekly, and I knew somebody had
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: to be watching because it got really good radio. But
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: when I go through like a Walmart in the on
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: the on the black people walking to Walmart doing the
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: day it because on their security check, all of old
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: people watch the old school home training, the discipline and
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: destruction and the no nonsense and the and the conflict
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: and the resolutions. They just appreciated because because it's just
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: it's a good soul. Man. You can watch this show
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: with your kids. That's what I love about that, because
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: you know, you know I started watching it. You know,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: I always watched the episode here and there, but I
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: got it to the part where, you know, when your
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: daughter was dating that old dude like you and he
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: came to that Birmingham Live Costs Live Live broadcasts we
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: had to shut that down. Also also it was really
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Here's why I like the show because of the fact
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: that it deals with real life reality. Okay, because a
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: lot of reality some people think it's faith. Like your
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: relationship with your son that was really unge last season. Yeah, yeah,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: and uh, and there was a moment that there was
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: a moment you had in that conference room, you know,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: with the psychologist trying to mend everything together. Man, how
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: is it gonna be for season four on Ricky Smiley
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: for real? Well, you're actually, uh, you know, see it,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: see that relationship get better, it's still some steps you know, um,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: towards getting a relationship with my older son where it
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: needs to be. And then you have to see my
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: daughter when they go through stuff because she got pulled
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: out of FIU in Miami and I had to transfer
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: her up to Tennessee State University and said, you're gonna
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: see everything with all of that, because there was a
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: later drama involved on that, because nobody wants to change
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: school and leave Miami and you know and go to Tennessee.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: And just the development and Craig getting older and Malik
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: getting older, and even the stuff with the controversy with
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Malik and some state him that he made on last
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: season that he apologized for him. Yeah. Yeah, and that's
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: gonna be addressed on the first Uh, that's going to
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: be addressed on on the first scene tomorrow night. So
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: we could tell people who don't watch, what was that?
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: What was that moment you were talking about him? Did
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: he needed to apologize about Well, you know, he has
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: made some irresponsible um you know, jokes and and was
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: talking about dating outside of his race, but he uh,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: his approach and uh what he said the way it
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: came out, it was, it was it ted off a
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: lot of women in the world, rightfully, so rightfully, so yeah, yeah,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: it was. It was. It was disrespectful. Uh personally, it
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: never should have aired, you know. Uh So I had
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: some arguments behind the scene, whether they said, well that's
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: how he felt. I said, yeah, but three ye olds
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: one candy for breakfast, but did you give it to him?
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: You know? So uh so, yeah, that was some some
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: real cuss out moment that should have been on cameras,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: you know. But I also had to defend him because
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: the words that each other was wrong and disrespectful. But
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: he does have a right to love who you want
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: to love. And like who you know, like we want
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: to like and he did apologize, so you know, I
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: had to get all these grown folks instead of going
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: on his social media encouraging him. They were going on there,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: you know, dogging himunta and I'm talking about grown what's
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: going out a fifteen yard stuff? Say I got some
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: good advice where you are offering him advice or whatever,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: because he didn't hit nobody or shoot nobody or nobody.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: You know, he said some stuff and just being fifteen
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: and trying to crack a joke that wasn't fun. But
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: let me ask you this, Ricky, is it difficult raising
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: your kids in front of a camera like that as
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: a parent because you're a real engaged and involved parents. Okay,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: so so these moments are caught on camera. That that
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: makes it difficult, doesn't it? Uh no, because uh shouting,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: I'm just being me. I don't have to I don't.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: I don't change when the camera's coming the room. That's true,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: and that's why that's why the show called Rick's Amat
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: for real. And you can't know I met twenty something
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: a year and many arguments and fights, we had nothing
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: and you can't you can't say nothing to sun, because
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: I'm not nothing for another person of you, just like
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: just like you and and and Steve and been around
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: y'all my whole life, growing up under y'all, I have
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: developed y'all ways and y'all fussy and be mad and
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: on the same way. So you know, I just I
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: can't put it on for the camera, even in my
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: stand up, even though I laughed at some of my jokes,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: but all the other is real. I can't do faith,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: I can't do fake nothing. Yeah. When he sent the
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: resume over to me about because I want to get
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: everything in and I know I got one break with you.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: I did not see anything about Cookie and I didn't
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: see anything about the book. Is there something we should
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: be talking about right now? Or you know the book
• 8:04

• 8:26
  Speaker 1: that's coming out. And the stuff with the cooking, you know,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: that would be in the next season too. Because it

• 9:05
  Speaker 1: been so sometimes you gotta like take your own vision
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: into your own hand financially to make it work. That's
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: what you're saying right there, correct, Absolutely, yeah, absolutely. One
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: of the things that uh, you probably do not remember.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: You Stephen Boomerang got on the phone and Triple Team
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: one day and curse me out, like like literally use

  Speaker 1: real curse words to curse me out. He wanted to
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: get me in a better position to get to where
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: I am now. And it was one of the best
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: curse outs I had because I was like, hey, man,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: if you don't do this radio, we're not gonna help
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: you no more. Because gonna because you know you didn't
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: want to. Let's go, Let's go set the story up.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: Let's set the story up. Is that is Ricky Smiley
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: at the time was given the opportunity to come on
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: to Steve Harvard Morning Show. Correct, yeah, no, not to
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: take over the Steve Harvard mon shop. But when I
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: got there and did the morning show with Steve, I
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: wanted to stay on with Stephen. You argue with me
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: and say, hey, you need to do your own show,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: But before that I wasn't willing to leave Berminham. Thank you.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: My biggest story that I tell people now, hey, you
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: got to get out of your own sitting and leave
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: in order to grow. Because a fish don't get bigger
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: as long as inside of that bish boat. This git
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: bigger when you put it in a punt. When we
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: look at all the trees, all of the trees you
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: see some of them was one in a flower pipe.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: But until they got out of the flower pine and
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: was put in the ground, they were able to grow amazing,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: amazing every Yeah, So when you say that you have
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: this nation you have the comedy tour, you have to
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: talk show, I mean the radio show, which is Fact,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: which is the number one hip hop radio syndicated show
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: in the country, by the way, and then you have
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Ricky Smiley for real. Now, the thing I love about
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: this because of one didn't to get up and up
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: root and leave Birminham, Alabama, because had I not moved
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: to Dallas, Texas, I wouldn't have been able to do
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: the things that I'm doing now. And some and and
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: it's just a growing process. Sometimes you have to get
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: out of your own way, in your own comfort zone
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: and offer to growth. And that's something that y'all really
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: busted me and bought home. And now you know it
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: makes and you're you're absolutely right. But here's the far
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: part about it. Because you are successful, you could just
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: spend a lot of time in Birmingham. Absolutely, is that crazy? Absolutely?
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: You had to leave me, Yeah, that you had to.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: You had to leave to become successful. Now you're successful,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: you can dictate where you can spend most of your time.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: Where your conference zone, right, it's in Birmingham, right. You know,
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: I did the morning show one morning, I got some group,
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: I did the morning show one one morning from a
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: funeral home. I'd be embalming on the side and be
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: doing commercial for Uper and everything else while I'm embalming
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: a body and everything. It's just just blessed. I'm just
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: kidding sign you know. You know, it's a whole lot
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: of breaks. Everybody, everybody my broadcast to you win. They
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: just they just started blinking. You know when people you
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: say something crazes about it, they get that rabbit I blink.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: Their eyes were just blinking because they were trying to
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: figure it all out. He broadcasting and doing a UPER
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: commercial and embalming at the same time. Somehow that ain't
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: working out well, I will I will tell you this though.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: I didn't get a chance to go to a you know,
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: I need to get a chance to go to a
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: funeral home. And doubt the man took me in the backup.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: I was just curious and he took me to the
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: back or whatever. And the dude that they get them
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: there body ready. But they were listening to nine and nine.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: Hey man, when you do something that we're doing big
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: my way makeup though, When you know, when you do
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: something on a regular basis, it becomes normal to you,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: you know, it's because like this is this is their
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: normal thing. Something we might stand extreme is normal. Just
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: like when people do surgery on your hospital they turn
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: on music. You know what, I'm thinking, They're back there,
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: They're back there. They do you know, I'm a dangerous
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: man with money in my pocket. Not back then carried
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying now at the funeral, just a thought
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: that they didn't got big Voma ready, but they listen to.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: It's just making yourself, making yourself real. So with all
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: the success that you have it now, first of all,
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: I know you're not stopping. Okay, the machine, the beast
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: has been led out of Birmingham and you see the
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: results of having a good team around you, having all
• 13:53
