Fraternity Service

I'm trying to reach Ricky Smiley.

Yeah, this is he.

Hey, this J Dog from the Alpha Chapter, Howard University.

Yeah.

I talked to your manager uh a couple times, man.

Listen, there's some brothers got some things that we really want to talk to you about.

If you got some if you got some time, brother.

It's going around from nationally as if Ricky Smiley is is is not representing the organization in the manner that we need it represented in, as far as handling community service and giving back to the fraternity and things of that nature.

And I'm reaching out to you, brother, trying to see just where is your head?

I mean, because it's gotta be more than just wearing shirts and stomping on on stage when you do your comedy shows and things of this nature, man.

This ain't this is not what Cooper, Coleman, and Justin Love was all about.

You know what I'm saying?

No, no, wait, what, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Let's bag let's bag up, dog.

Let's let's answer one question at a time.

You say you want to talk about community service.

Now you seem to be hostile.

And you have no you're you don't have no reason to be hostile towards it.

Well, the brother, the the problem the problem that I'm having, man, is I'm angered by this.

I'm angry by this because I'm angered by what?

You know, it seemed like all you doing is stepping on stage, doing your comedy shows and there's ain't nothing but

you don't even know me, dog.

I'm seeing what you're doing, and I'm noticing that you're not doing nothing for the community, brother.

Okay, dog, what let me ask you a question, dog.

Where do you live?

I'm in DC, brother.

Okay, dog.

Well, how can you say that, dog, and you live in DC?

I haven't seen you do anything.

I'm talking about on the national level.

Because you're in DC.

Explain to me what you're doing, brother, because that's what I want to know.

What are you doing with your organization?

Our organization.

Do you got do you got all day, dog?

That's all I do is community service, dawg.

First of all,

most of the bros are saying that you wearing it.

I don't give a f about what the bros say.

It's about what I'm telling you.

Hey, don't raise your voice at me, brother.

You don't want to host them.

I'm trying to answer your question.

You keep cutting me off.

This spring 86, dawg of the Alpha Chapter.

I'm gonna need you to bow down and understand who you're talking to.

No, dawg.

I'm not I'm not gonna bow down, dawg, but I'm gonna be respectful.

We're gonna mutually be respectful.

I don't bow down to nobody but God.

Go ahead, brother.

You know, I listen to you.

Let's have a respectful conversation.

When you talk, I won't interrupt you.

Now, I don't care.

First of all, whatever the brothers say, that's fine.

This is a conversation between me and you, dog.

All right?

Well, I didn't I didn't try to have this conversation quite a few times.

I called your manager several times, trying to get it, trying to get you on the phone.

Go ahead, man.

What?

No, I'd be working.

Around the clock, dog.

But I mean, I mean, what kind of brother is it that if other brothers can't get in touch with you, man?

You know what I'm saying?

I'm not finna give all the cues my cell phone number for them to call me all day and night, wanting me to come and do uh little thing, little things for that for their chapter and stuff and call me cat because I'm not able to do it.

Well, I'm just saying, brother, you know, it just raises the temple of me, man.

What's the problem?

You got the number, dog?

I'm just saying a number.

What I want is more than you just wearing the shirt, more than you just stomping on the stage and all of this here, man.

Let me ask you something.

Didn't you just ask me what kind of community service that I'm doing?

You ain't even giving me a chance to say uh to explain anything.

This one that goes back to my point, dog.

I it's hard to talk to brothers when they hostel.

Like that.

You call and ask me a question.

You really didn't call and ask a question.

You call assuming that that's all I do.

You have treated me as if that's what I'm doing.

And that's not the case, dawg.

Well, maybe what I'm saying, bro.

I got something I want you to do.

Well, dawg, if that's what you want me to do, dawg, then ask me, dawg.

Don't call me and beat me up like that, dawg.

That ain't right, Q.

Alright, you listen, will you come visit my grandmama?

Where your grandma at?

She's here in DC.

Okay, what's what's going on with your grandma?

My grandmama, man, she just

going through right now.

No, the family, we don't.

We don't really know what's

she only

legs.

She only got one crutch.

And she

needs another crutch.

She do.

So we

pitching in for it, you know.

Try to get that other crutch.

It's we need one that's titanium to be able to hold her up.

The wood ones don't.

The wooden ones don't hold up.

And you know the titanium, they don't really make them.

They don't make that many, so you gotta order them.

Oh, Ricky.

Let me say this to you though, man.

And I really, I really mean this.

Can I say something to you?

Yeah.

This is nephew Tommy from the Steve Harvin Morning Show.

You just got bright.

Ricky smiling!

You just got bright!

Man, you know what?

You know what?

I'ma kick.

I'ma kick your ass.

I'ma kick Steve

and chill that.

Tell me that, man.

Y'all know that.

Hey, Steve.

What's Steve at?

Steve ain't here, dog.

Tell me, that ain't right, dawg.

Wait a minute, wait a minute, dawg.

Oh man, you got me so good.

Wait a minute.

I bow down to you.
