Yeah, that's my dog. I know it. I know it. So much. Yeah. You do so much, Charlie. Now, I actually see that just last night you did a live set. Um, and you was playing your saxophone, Charlie. Now, do you do this every Wednesday? And if so, where so?

SPEAKER_06 4:08

So, first of all, the clip and the confusion, because I know there's gonna be a lot of confusion. Um, Charlie G does not play saxophone. Okay. Chandler St. Laurent plays saxophone. We are not the same person, we are just two niggas that look alike. Charlie G. And Chandler St. Laurent.

SPEAKER_09 4:24

Chandler St. Laurent. Chandler did play.

SPEAKER_06 4:26

Yeah, he played saxophone playing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But Charlie G is the okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like Martin and Roscoe, right? Like you don't never see them in the same place at the same time.

SPEAKER_09 4:36

I actually get it because I was gonna ask you, like, what was the reason for the different names?

SPEAKER_06 4:41

Just because, like I understand that they're two different demographics. Um my parents really love the fact that I play saxophone and they really hate the fact that I rile. Really? Oh god.

SPEAKER_09 4:54

What do your parents do? Your parents like professional, professional.

SPEAKER_06 4:57

Um, so my mama worked for child support enforcement.

SPEAKER_09 5:00

Okay.

SPEAKER_06 5:00

Um, my daddy nigga died. Um before he died, he was a pastor.

SPEAKER_09 5:08

Okay.

SPEAKER_06 5:09

Yeah. Two people.

SPEAKER_09 5:12

So you was a church baby.

SPEAKER_06 5:13

Yeah, man.

SPEAKER_09 5:15

You were the church baby.

SPEAKER_06 5:17

Very much so, very much so.

SPEAKER_09 5:19

Okay.

SPEAKER_06 5:19

So yeah, you naturally they wouldn't be happy about their child saying nigga all the time.

SPEAKER_08 5:23

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 5:24

So yeah, they like they they love the fact that I play sex and a lot of I understand that it's something that they could be proud of.

SPEAKER_05 5:31

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 5:31

So I kind of want to keep the name they gave me attached to that. But like, niggas call me Charlie. Like, my whole life, niggas have called me everything but Chandler. And I don't I don't know if this, like, maybe it's just because they just didn't believe that my black ass was saying that my name is Chandler, but I got I got called everything but Chandler. Charlie. Charlie is just a name I wouldn't believe.

SPEAKER_09 5:53

Like you say Chandler. I'm like, Chandler. That's why I say Chandler.

SPEAKER_06 5:57

I done Taylor. I done been everything but Chandler. How the hell do you get the Taylor? That's what I'm saying. Like, I just I just think they'd be surprised at the name. So yeah. Um, a few people called me Charlie, and I was like, you know what? Yes, yes, I am.

SPEAKER_09 6:16

Yeah. And it just stuck. And that's how you got Charlie G.

SPEAKER_06 6:20

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Pretty much.

SPEAKER_09 6:21

Now, when I first saw you at my showcase, and by the way, he won first place, honey. That was my first showcase that I ever did by myself. That was so much fun. Oh my god, thank you. And you won first place, and you sung origami, and then you sung your new song. Did you play that song? Yeah, you sung that song. I didn't show that yep. And listen, everybody loved that song. And Charlie won. Charlie won.

SPEAKER_06 6:46

I wasn't gonna do origami, but like everybody that went before me had a nasty song, and I just didn't want to feel left out. Especially that that old dude from like, where was he? Was he from like Miami or something? Oh my god. He was from St. P. Mr. P. No, not DMs. No, he's talking about Mr. P. Mr. P. Mr. P say, uh He said a lot of stuff.

SPEAKER_09 7:10

That was a fun time. He was actually from Miami. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, him and um the other girl, I can't think of her name right now. She was out, she was a great artist, but she was from um, they was from Miami. They came way down here from Miami to come to Daddy Ben. I was so happy. But Charlie, you dominated the state. Did you feel like it was harder for you because it was like no violence, no drug? But your music really don't have that to it. Yeah, yeah, right, right.

SPEAKER_06 7:35

So you can have it easy anyway. Um it's always maybe, maybe it's just like a mental thing for me, but I think there's always a challenge of willing acceptance. So, um, yeah, every every showcase, I'm I'm nervous.

SPEAKER_09 7:56

Are you nervous at every showcase?

SPEAKER_06 7:58

All of 'em. All of 'em. All of 'em.

SPEAKER_09 8:01

So when do you feel more free as Chandler or as Charlie?

SPEAKER_06 8:08

It really depends. It really depends. I think I think Chandler might be a bit more widely accepted. So that that does make things easier when I'm in different places. But you know, I think I love Charlie.

SPEAKER_09 8:26

But that versatility has gotten you far because you actually get paid gig for being on your saxophone. That's super dope. Like, and then back to the Wednesday night last night. See, we almost curved to that because you actually perform live at various venues. Um, where were you last night? And kind of tell us, do you do that every Wednesday night?

SPEAKER_06 8:47

Yeah, I was at a place in St. Pete called Black Leaf Cigar Like. Shout out to Black Leaf. Um that's my family over there. Come there every Wednesday from 8 to 10. Uh I got into some dad and they took care of my dad. And I was like, no, you're not playing every week now. So that's what I do. Um yeah, yeah, come too. If if you're in St. Pete. Like if you're not in St. Pete.

SPEAKER_09 9:14

Yeah, anywhere. Tampa, Orlando, Port Charlotte, Brayton. It was super dope. And then you play with a live band, but you're the hairliner.

SPEAKER_06 9:22

So I do play with a band sometimes, and I do want to shout them out as well, because they're they're a group of musicians who are a band in their own in their own right, and they just let me rock with them. So shout out to What About Mama. They're from Tampa. That's super dope. Oh, yeah. Shout out to What About Mama.

SPEAKER_09 9:39

That and that's super, super dope, Charlie, because I would have never known. Like, it seemed as if y'all performed together forever. Like, you just fit in. So, do you prefer to be in solo or would you mind being like in a in a group that travels and stuff?

SPEAKER_06 9:55

I would if if if the group was what about mama, I absolutely would not mind. You would that'd be the only group. So far, yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_09 10:04

Now your music really took you far. And y'all heard a little snippet of that song now. I'm telling you for sure, then it is actually outright now. Now, what was the motivation behind that?

SPEAKER_06 10:16

Um pretty much my entire life has been people telling me that I couldn't or I shouldn't do something. And my answer has pretty much always been initial, okay, alright, uh, I I started writing it on my way to work one day and I was working a job that I absolutely fucking hated. Um the beat was sent to me by quad and listening to it. The first thing I heard was Okay, I'll for sure then. And then the kind of just went.

SPEAKER_09 11:01

How long did it take you right now?

SPEAKER_06 11:06

The first verse took. Alright, so I had already kind of worked out the framework of the first verse and like half of the second verse in my head and was kind of playing around with what words were fit in that space. Um I won another showcase in the prize of studio. So I met it with a free hour, I think an hour or two hours. Um that's why I landed up with my engineer shot, a German engineer. But that's when we first met. Damn. I think I think it took me about maybe 30 minutes to an hour to actually put words to what I was playing with in my head.

SPEAKER_09 11:56

Yeah. But do you ever get to a point because you have a catalog, but your catalog is hidden. And I'm so ticked off about it, okay? And I told you I was gonna tell you on live, your whole catalog is actually hidden. Okay? You gotta catch him live, and he performs enough, and he's out there enough for y'all to catch him. So y'all have to go to Callum Charlie on Instagram and TikTok.

SPEAKER_06 12:21

The thing about it is, it's just like I've I want to become somewhat like my idols. So um I noticed that a lot of them are perfectionists of the crowd. Um I understand that it's early and uh the exposure/slash notoriety part of my career. So perfection don't have to be so paramount in my mind, but it really is. Like, if it's not right, I'm not putting it out. Showden was the one we got right on the first try.

SPEAKER_09 12:54

Listen, and then when you working with names like Pusha Premium and Caleb Music, and you see like the big things that they do, it is a lot of pressure. But where did you wait? Before we get any further, um I'm gonna do a lightning round for the people at home, and then I'm gonna let their ass go because the fun shit happens after y'all tune the hell out. Y'all already know how it goes. Y'all gonna have to meet us on InstaVide.

SPEAKER_05 13:18

But before we do this, we finna actually do a lightning round with Charlie, motherfucking G. Let's do it. Um, here we go. All right, so um, I'm gonna give you two words. I'm just gonna throw two words out there, and you gotta think fast. Don't think about it. Ain't no reason why you just gotta say it. Okay. Um, my mom, push your prima caleb. Wow. You got three.

All that shit was on Netflix from the ST5s, the McDonald's joint, uh like everything that been going on that nobody was supposed to know to kind of sweep under the rug and put all that shit on Netflix.

SPEAKER_00 27:22

Yeah, in 2005, a customer claimed to find a several human finger in the hole of Wendy's chili.

SPEAKER_07 27:32

Well, it's something it happened though. That's all that matters. It happened a few times because I remember hearing about it. Yeah, they covered up because it was a situational time. They cover up, they try to cover up the life. It was like all over the states. Yeah, everywhere.

SPEAKER_09 27:48

Now, Charlie, because your mama literally said since a child you was rapping something as simple as the Lord's Prayer. So that goes to show that you was really into church because you said your dad was a pastor, right? So what was it like growing up in a household when your dad, because normally the daddy is the is the iron fist. You get what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_06 28:10

Yeah, and crazy enough, my dad was a very chill person.

SPEAKER_09 28:14

Okay.

SPEAKER_06 28:15

Um maybe, no, no, no. He's all from from what I understand, he's always been a very chill person. Didn't really have a lot to say. Um I guess that's kind of where I get my way with words from, because he didn't speak often, but when he did speak, it's almost like he wanted to make sure his words had impact. Right. And I kind of carried that with me. So yeah, my mom was really the disciplinarian and the the the the loud voice in the house. Um I knew not to fuck with my daddy. Like it wasn't one of them things where I could just like run over my dad. But yeah, like I knew not to fuck with pops. But mom was really the the the disciplinarian, the the one that was really putting that foot down. Um it was loving, you know? I think I think they had an idea of what they what they saw for me as a child. But as as I grew older, I kind of just went my own path. And we still we still you heard it. We still we still close. That's still my dog.

SPEAKER_09 29:33

But it's still gotta be hard because especially when it's something that you're passionate about. Like, let's say for instance, my family wanted me to be a lawyer, right? So I went into my adult life and I've acquired all these little degrees and different things that was putting me on a path to be a lawyer, but I realized that wasn't my passion. You know?

SPEAKER_08 29:51

Yeah.

SPEAKER_09 29:52

Um, so how long did it take for you to really kind of like set your own set your own journey, really? You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_06 30:01

I think my parents kind of knew from junk that I was I was gonna do what I wanted to do.

SPEAKER_09 30:06

What's the worst thing you did that you got in a lot of trouble for?

SPEAKER_06 30:10

It was always some shit I said. Yeah, because you was bad.

SPEAKER_09 30:13

Were you a bad kid?

SPEAKER_06 30:14

I mean, I ain't no killer but don't push me.

SPEAKER_09 30:18

So you was like a nerd.

SPEAKER_06 30:21

I wouldn't even say a nerd. Like I did, I did well enough in school to kind of fly under the radar for a long time. Um I got into my fair share of mischief like kids do. But I don't think I was a bad kid, but I know for damn sure I wasn't no good kid. I wasn't no nerd. Yes, I was. Yes, I was. I wasn't an academic nerd. I was a nerd about music. Anything outside of music, I really didn't care.

SPEAKER_09 30:49

Right. So were you one of those people? Because I remember I had a classmate in college. He was like sitting in our English class and he'll be writing in his composition book. And one day I just asked him, like, what are you writing? And he was writing lyrics and he wasn't even paying attention to what he was.

SPEAKER_06 31:03

Absolutely, absolutely. And the thing about me is like, I hear what you say as far as being in class, like, I hear what the teacher's saying, but I'm I'm kind of focused on this idea, trying to flesh out this idea. But the thing about me that was so crazy was like teachers would see that I wasn't paying attention and they would try to call on me just to like trick me up. And then I answer it correctly, and then they be mad and they couldn't do shit with me. So that was that was always fun.

SPEAKER_09 31:33

So, like, when did you um so did you start off playing instruments or were you um were you just were you did you start off as a rapper?

SPEAKER_06 31:43

I started off as a rapper. Okay. Um because of my parents just being the people that they are outside of, you know, their professions and religious beliefs. Um just very mature, intelligent people. A lot of the old school music, a lot of jazz music was played when I was growing up. So that's a lot of the stuff I heard. Uh saxophone has kind of always kind of always been a part of like my upbringing. So it was it was kind of a natural thing for me to play it when I eventually started playing it. But like rap was the first thing I I fell in love with. So that was the the first thing I started doing creatively.

SPEAKER_09 32:24

Okay. Now you said that um when you when you putting in your music, you kind of compare it to some of your idols. You want it to sound just as good as your idols when you put it out as far as um the quality of it, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Who are some of your who are some of your idols growing up?

SPEAKER_06 32:43

Growing up. Yeah, like as a child. Funny enough, the the thing that made me wanna rap was I had to be like five years old, four or five years old, and my mama was watching one of them daytime shows. I couldn't tell you which one. One of them daytime talk shows, and it had Lil' Bow Wow on. This is what he was Lil' Bow Wow. He was, you know, rapping doing his shit, and I was like, I can do that. I was going to do that. So, like my earliest influence was Bow Wow. And I got older, of course. I think I think after Bow Wow, I got a little older, Lil Wayne was on the rise, T. I was on the rise, listened to a bit of that. But then T-Pain came out.

SPEAKER_08 33:39

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 33:40

And T Pain so crazy, because the time T Pain came out in the time that I was growing up, it kind of coincided in a way to let me know that like, yeah, you can rap, but like you can also sing too, and it should be smooth.

SPEAKER_09 33:55

Okay.

SPEAKER_06 33:56

So that's that's what opened up the door for me singing. I started singing like after I hit puberty, like 13, 14.

SPEAKER_09 34:02

Okay. Okay, okay. So now since you want to talk about the singing and stuff, and you didn't bring your saxophone, and I gave you a warning outside of what I was gonna ask you to do on live. And I know he thought I forgot, but what I told him, he uh Brown make me remember, tequila made me forget. I keep telling him, if he watched that podcast for real, he'd have known that wasn't a Dewey. Period. Dewey don't want no problems.

SPEAKER_06 34:29

He should have gone back to sleep.

SPEAKER_09 34:33

I was working on how he was. I know that's right. Period. Dewey always working. I'm so proud of you. I can't wait to be one of Dewey's models. Yeah, he chose me, bitches.

SPEAKER_04 34:47

Should have said something. You done went to the uh the Rebel Fest event that was two weeks ago.

SPEAKER_09 34:51

Crop top, crop Rebel Fest.

SPEAKER_04 34:56

Uh agency. They're like a model agency. Uh Jay like the letter and they'll be doing it.

SPEAKER_09 35:02

I just want a model for you. That's it. I don't want to be a model. That'll just take the modeling off my bucket list. Cause I was telling Charlie outside, I have some hell of a story for my children. Like I told my story on this, so I'm not gonna tell you why, but I did a walkthrough in jail a long time ago. And I told Charlie, when I have children, I'm gonna be like, I went to jail. You know, I got caught with a little weed. I'm gonna say, I sold drugs. Make the ass scared as hell. So now when I be a model, you know, I'ma tell the ass. You get what I'm saying? I used to be a drug dealer girl, and I transitioned into a model. Then I turned into a talk show host. But if it wasn't for I am La Dewey who had a dream in me, and Trill who put me in my first movie, I wouldn't be nothing. That's how I'm gonna talk to my children. Then I tell you outside child.

SPEAKER_06 35:56

You did, you did.

SPEAKER_09 35:57

I told you. In those exact words, in those exact words, I added the Dewey and Trill. See, every time somebody comes, every time somebody comes, I added Uncle Dewey.

SPEAKER_03 36:05

What kind of drinks you sow?

SPEAKER_09 36:06

Big dog Trill, huh?

SPEAKER_03 36:08

What kind of drinks you so?

SPEAKER_09 36:09

Weed pills. I ain't said them, I promise. I did. I did try to be a drug dealer, y'all. But they took me. I did too.

SPEAKER_06 36:21

That shit was I I I that's when I realized I was smoky for Friday. I spent my whole life thinking I was crazy, but I'm smoking for real. Oh, big pearl. I was only shipping the weed so I can have money to buy weed to smoke. It was such a bad business plan, bro.

SPEAKER_09 36:40

No, well, I'm not gonna put all my stuff out there, but I was doing pretty good as a uh a weed lady. I was doing good till I wasn't, you know. That's when you had to go. They took me to jail and I was like, listen, this ain't that. I had to pee so bad. And you know, when you go in the bathroom, they lock the door behind you. You ever experienced that?

SPEAKER_06 37:01

No.

SPEAKER_09 37:02

It's the scariest thing in the world. I bet. Right? And then you have to bang on the for them to let you out. I wasn't in the four hours and I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. Well, I got a few people that maybe not. Don't tell them. Don't wink at me. I'm no, I'm not jinxing you, I'm just telling you. But I really do. I really do. I wouldn't wish that on nobody.

SPEAKER_06 37:26

Who but So you a drum or a flat person?

SPEAKER_09 37:30

I am a flat person.

SPEAKER_06 37:31

Okay.

SPEAKER_09 37:32

What you wait, wait, wait. So we're gonna answer. What you like? Drum sticks? Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 37:38

So, so boom. I understand I understand your POV. I used to be, I used to be I used to be non, I used to be nonpartisan. I used to be equal opportunity. I used to think a wing is a wing. Why are we separating what we could put together? Right, you know? Um, but since everybody wants to fry their shit super hard, give me a flat because I'm not finna cut my mouth on the drone.

unknown 38:03

SPEAKER_09 38:25

SPEAKER_06 47:16

I never found a woman that I felt comfortable enough feeding donuts on camera. And I never got comfortable enough with the concept itself to actually do it. So the OnlyFans is just is just blank.

If you could do, um, and I'm only if you could do a collab with three artists and they could be super famous or they could be up and coming, who would it be? You can only make three.

SPEAKER_06 51:27

Tom G.

SPEAKER_09 51:28

Tom G.

SPEAKER_06 51:28

Andrew Lamar.

SPEAKER_09 51:29

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_06 51:30

Andre 2000.

SPEAKER_09 51:31

Those would be dope. Those would be dope. Those would be dope. Would you do like some um let me see, who would you do like some um country rap type thing, like Big X of Pluto doing right now? You wanna vibe with a country rapper?

SPEAKER_06 51:48

I'm from St. Pete. Ain't really like like we got country shit, but ain't too much country in St. Pete. You feel me? We got country people, we got habits and customs that come from the country. But as far as a real country music presence in St. Pete, I'm not familiar with it.

SPEAKER_09 52:07

How do you feel about that St. Pete rapper list? Because they have a list that they're taking around St. Pete of top rappers. And um, a lot of the rappers I didn't even know exist. Not that I know every rapper and I don't really check into their music, but I realized there wasn't really a lot of um, I don't know. You tell me, because I'm from Tampa.

SPEAKER_06 52:30

I don't care.

SPEAKER_09 52:31

You don't care?

SPEAKER_06 52:32

I don't care. I love the fact that St. Pete rappers are getting the recognition that we deserve. I absolutely love it. But as far as the discourse and the the oh, I'm not on the list, this person not on the list, I understand the politics behind it, so that kind of that kind of takes the emotion out of it for me.

SPEAKER_09 52:50

Yeah. But do you feel like um between Tampa and St. Pete, do you feel like these are like clout-based cities?

SPEAKER_06 52:59

Show me a city that that's striving for success in the entertainment industry that's not clout-based.

SPEAKER_09 53:05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 53:06

You know? Um, I feel like while it's a very real issue in some cases, it's also a cop out in other cases.

SPEAKER_09 53:17

Why a cop out? Like in what cases?

SPEAKER_06 53:24

So I'm not saying if you feel like the cities are based off of clout, this applies to you. But a lot of people who feel like this, it also applies to. A lot of niggas' music just be trash.

SPEAKER_09 53:37

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ain't nothing wrong with saying that. That's a fact. I think like 75% of the people who are doing music right now are trash, and I think it's a strong 25 who actually pushing something that's worth it.

SPEAKER_06 53:50

The crazy thing is. The artists don't really take the art seriously, but they expect the listener to take it seriously.

SPEAKER_09 53:59

That's right.

SPEAKER_06 54:00

And that shit don't make no sense.

SPEAKER_09 54:01

Exactly.

SPEAKER_06 54:03

Um I felt a lot of the frustrations that other artists have felt. Like, man, they not fucking with me, man. They my name ain't on these lists. I'm not on these shows with these people. But ultimately, what's for you will be for you. And if you spend your time and your energy crying about what's not, then you really neglecting what is for you and what could be for you. And I just don't want to get caught up in that.

SPEAKER_09 54:30

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 54:30

I don't want to get caught up in that.

SPEAKER_09 54:32

And I don't think you should, because I feel like with your lyricism, it stands out. I mean, like you said, you doing a huge feature. You got a new song that's about that's set to drop soon with Pusha Premium. You get what I'm saying? So even without you, you may feel like you may not have all the clout. I think you got the clout. I think you got the juice. I think you got the swag. I think you got the lyrics, I think you got the saxophone and a voice. Sang something for us. So like the thing with being You so fucking I really thought he was gonna say this thing.

SPEAKER_06 55:09

The thing with like with myself, I I consider myself a dope individual, a dope artist. The thing with being dope is like even if you look from a purely literal standpoint from the word dope, cocaine always been cocaine. Niggas ain't you have to like boost up cocaine. All it took was for yeah, uh. Like, if you dope, just be dope, bro. Yeah, you ain't because if you if you try too hard to try and show people how dope you are, you become fit and all.

SPEAKER_09 55:49

Yeah, that's a fact. Now, how do you feel? Because like, let's say Tom G, um, for years everybody was talking about how much Tom G did for the city. Everybody was really vibing with him, but then as of recently, well, I mean, he's starting to build his momentum back up, but you know, for a while, he had a lot of slack um for saying whatever he said on Instagram. I don't want to misquote him, so I don't want to say it wrong. But it was like he said one thing that certain people didn't agree with, and it was like, to me, it feels like if the cer if a certain person says a certain thing, then everybody just kind of follows suit, despite everything that he's done. It was a rapper who got ticked off with Tom G because he didn't help him with the lyric challenge.

SPEAKER_06 56:34

Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_09 56:35

I mean shit. He how you feel about that as an artist, because I'm not an artist, so I don't know how it would feel as how you feel about that.

SPEAKER_06 56:44

Um, I understand that at a certain point artists come with a certain sense of entitlement. Um I I work daily to try and shed that so I don't end up in situations where I look like a jackass. Yeah um Tom is solidified. He is Tom is solidified. I've I've I've had conversations with Tom and I've seen Tom just out and about and ain't nowhere he can't go. Mad at him or not, he sleeps comfortably at home. Period. And there are a lot of artists who have made it to very far places who can't say that same thing. If if if home ain't if if home ain't where you safe at, then what are you actually doing?

SPEAKER_09 57:28

I actually had Tom G on my podcast and he was absolutely amazing. So I felt something totally different when the boy came out and he was like, oh, Tom will have. I'm like, maybe you ain't wanna. And he don't even charge a lot. Like to get Tom G on a platform, like it's not like he charge an astronomical amount. He just be like, especially if you from Tampa, he always showing.

SPEAKER_06 57:52

But like if you if you look deeper and see exactly what kind of help individuals wanted in them situations, you could kind of you wanted him to help you right up on a challenge, you want to help him.

SPEAKER_09 58:04

On a challenge that him and somebody else created to put rappers on in the city, and you wasn't.

SPEAKER_06 58:10

Shout out Tom G.

SPEAKER_09 58:11

Shout out to Tom G. That's my boy right there. Could you push in on that? Who the hell? My mama from my whole heart. Answer that. Put it on speaker. Hey mama, say hey to everybody. Everybody say hey, mama. Hey mama.

unknown 58:30

Hey everybody.

SPEAKER_09 58:33

What's going on, Mom? We're wrapping it up. Cardi got to go to work. Yeah, you know, she be sleepy in the morning at the podcast. Oh, yeah, but you know, I'm true to this. I ain't new to this system. We had two mamas in one show. Ain't that crazy?

SPEAKER_06 59:02

That is crazy. And it's gonna be Mother's Day.

SPEAKER_09 59:04

And it's gonna be Mother's Day.

SPEAKER_06 59:06

It's gonna be Mother's Day.

SPEAKER_09 59:07

Period, put it there, Charlie. Charlie mama came on the podcast too. Oh, yeah. Charlie mom came on the podcast too to talk to Charlotte. She called him Chandler. Say hi, Chandler. Tell him, Mom.

SPEAKER_06 59:24

You don't have to. Okay, she did. Hey Ma. How you doing? I'm baked in Holly Flavor.

SPEAKER_09 59:43

We're trying to wrap up, Ma. Give me five minutes. I'm gonna call you as soon as I leave. I gotta let them go. We're doing a podcast. Ma, I will call you after. I don't want to hear nothing about Big Eddie. I call you after I finish. I ain't got to talk to Eddie. I call you after I finish it. Let me let these gentlemen go.

unknown 1:00:04

Okay, I'll be safe.

SPEAKER_06 1:00:10

Absolutely.

SPEAKER_09 1:00:11

Okay, love you, sure.

SPEAKER_06 1:00:13

Hallelujah, anyhow.

unknown 1:00:14

Good night.

SPEAKER_09 1:00:15

Good night. Yeah, she was gonna get ready to go wave and brush. She don't give a fuck. Nobody can walk in the door's calling. Like she's gonna keep going. I don't think how many times did I do that?

SPEAKER_04 1:00:38

I feel better. I wasn't gonna ask her how she was feeling because you remember I take care of her. But nah. No. When she hit that button, I'm like, she was feeling better till Eddie.

SPEAKER_09 1:00:54

Yeah. But here we go. Damn, Charlie, she done fucked up the training dog, but that's gonna be good shit. You don't want to answer the fuck because doing though.

SPEAKER_04 1:01:03

He was like hanging up. I'm like, ah, you're like, who is it? I'm like, my mama holds. Oh, answer that. Okay.

SPEAKER_09 1:01:09

Y'all know that's my girl right there. And I don't play by my dude.

SPEAKER_06 1:01:13

I don't blame you. I don't blame him.

SPEAKER_09 1:01:15

I don't play by my girl. Where was we at? But how did you link up with Pusha Pream? And how did that whole collab happen?

SPEAKER_06 1:01:22

That shit crazy because I won that from another showcase. I think, I think at this point, my whole career, the whole start of my career is just gonna be funded by showcases.

SPEAKER_09 1:01:32

And that's super dope because I know a lot of artists, like how you said that with for show there. You went in the studio and you won studio time from a showcase, and a lot of the artists that are up and coming, and babyface, you could probably contest to this when they have these showcases and stuff, and they only offering, okay, they might say $200 an hour studio time, but a lot of artists be like, an hour studio time, but you actually made a whole song with that free studio time.

SPEAKER_06 1:02:01

You know?

SPEAKER_09 1:02:01

You get what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_06 1:02:02

It's really about how you uh how you value time and how seriously you take your crowd.

SPEAKER_09 1:02:08

You dope. You just dope. Oh my god. You ain't cocaine. You was dope. Period. I love you.

SPEAKER_06 1:02:14

You made me blush.

SPEAKER_09 1:02:15

That is it, Charlie. So what's next? Where can we meet you? So Wednesday for sure.

SPEAKER_06 1:02:20

Wednesdays, you can meet a nigga that looks just like me, except he plays saxophone at a place called Black Leaf Cigar Lounge that is in St. Petersburg, Florida. The address is 237 2nd Avenue South St. Petersburg, Florida. I'm there from I'm not there. Uh Chandler is there from 8 to 10 p.m. Um I heard he's a pretty nice guy, so go check him out. Uh as far as me personally, um I got some shows coming up. I'll be dropping them on the Instagram, so follow me over there to find out. Because if I tell you now you won't follow me. So follow me at call on Charlie, that's C-A-L-L-E-M-C-H-A-R-L-I-E.

SPEAKER_09 1:02:59

Um I'm gonna let you finish.

SPEAKER_06 1:03:03

Yeah, man. I'm I'm I'm I'm just trying to make a dollar out of 15 cents for real.

SPEAKER_09 1:03:10

That's why you only own that band app because they got to pay to hear your catalog, huh?

SPEAKER_06 1:03:16

So, my thing with Bandcamp is I don't agree with a lot of the policies of major streaming platforms.

SPEAKER_08 1:03:24

Okay.

SPEAKER_06 1:03:24

I also don't like how I have to submit my music to a distributor in order to be on major streaming platforms.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:31

Okay.

SPEAKER_06 1:03:33

I don't like the concept of my song being played a million times and I get somewhere around a thousand dollars that don't sit right with me. And I also like I like the direct approach of communicating with supporters.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:51

Gotcha.

SPEAKER_06 1:03:52

Um for me playing saxophone or to me being just the the child of my parents, it's my a lot of my interactions have been face to face. Or if not face to face, then then very personal. Like not a lot of not a lot of value up.

SPEAKER_09 1:04:07

You're just keeping that value up. Just say that, Charlie.

SPEAKER_06 1:04:09

Yeah, I just want to keep that connection. I want to keep that connection. Because ultimately, um Ultimately I can be as as dope as I want to be, but if don't if don't nobody listens, then you know listen. Um and then with with streaming platforms, if you don't pay that that $14.99 or whatever, you might not be able to hear Charlie G till you get your shit together. If you buy it through Bandcamp, you got it. You got it. That that one-time purchase, and it you know, just fosters a different relationship with the listener.

SPEAKER_09 1:04:44

That's so amazing. And then it make it gives you that exclusivity. Did I say it right? I'm a little tipsy. I'm a little tipsy right now. But yeah, it gives you that because you're not easily accessible. I can't just go on Apple Music or Spotify and just pull up Charlie G. You get what I'm saying? I have to explore your page. I have to explore your music and see exactly where you're gonna be and pull up on you live in person. And I've experienced the Charlie G experience, and it is amazing. I have not experienced you on the saxophone yet.

SPEAKER_06 1:05:16

That is my course of action. You gotta come out on Wednesday.

SPEAKER_09 1:05:20

And y'all got to come out there with me. Y'all let us know, cousins, when we're going out there to see Charlie G. Do. Do he single?

Hey, man. I'm telling you.

SPEAKER_09 1:05:52
