incredible Ricky Smiley, my brother, my young brother, my friend brother.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Hey, what's up big bro? Hey?
Speaker 5 (01:41):
First of all, I know you're trying to get the
intro and stuff right. A lot of people don't know.
Had it not been for you, it would not be
the Ricky Smider Morning Show. Thanks to you and your
influence and talking to Alfred and Missus Hughes when they
asked a question, who would be great to fill in
(02:03):
because y'alls going to another company'll and y'all said Ricky Snouley.
So I really appreciate the opportunity, and I just try
to take advantage of every opportunity that y'all have ever
provided for me.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
So I appreciate you were shigning for everything.
Speaker 5 (02:16):
Well, thank you, Ricky, thank you for being a mentor
and thank you for being a big brother.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Well, first of all.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
Thank you because a lot of people get opportunities, Ricky,
you know that, and they don't understand the work that's involved,
because getting up every day all these years since we
gave you the opportunity can be challenging, can be frustrating,
and people walk away and go give half effort.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
But you've established your brand in radio.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
Tell the importanness of branding through the radio and how
you impact the community other than just being a funny guy.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Yeah, Brandon is important.
Speaker 5 (02:51):
One thing that does reshine to keep your name out there,
keep your brand out there. If you're lucky and blessed
enough to get stations like DL Steve myself different ones
every hour, at least two or three times an hour
your name is mentioned on the radio station. Somebody dropped
in the car, they hear your name. You know that's
(03:13):
that's good for your Brand's good for your social media.
That keep your your name presence with people. At the
top of the hour when they do the station I
d a home of the Ricky Smiley Morning Show or whatever,
and then they might play a clip or whatever. These
are in cars while people driving to work getting off work,
dropping the kids, or you know, when they're flipping radio station,
(03:34):
they hear your name. So when you show up at
a comedy club or whatever, it hurts your name so
much and it's a build up. People pay money and
they stand the line and they come out to see you.
Because it's not a lot of people that do radio
that still perform other than d L and myself that.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Have their own show, syndicated show.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
Now, that's that's important that the business side see. I've
met Ricky Smiley.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
Web back when he was just a young comedian that
wanted to be on stage to tell Joe. Now I'm
here Ricky Smile and the business man.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
When did that part of Ricky Smile has started going
in front of the comedian.
Speaker 5 (04:14):
People like you cussing people out on the phone every
other week. Yah yeah, yeah. I want everybody that's watching
this interview to see that this a very classy and
pleasant interview. As a matter of fact, when I came
on the interview, I had on a Nike T shirt
and Rashaan cursed at me and told me I need
(04:37):
to go put on a suit coat. Tired or told
them that, so I had to run run back to
my room and get dressed. People don't understand the relationship
without listen. You have to have somebody to coach you,
and coaching don't have to be kind. Nick Saban holler
at those guys all day, cussing out all week, but
then they.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Hold up the SEC championship at the end of the day. Day.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
And if you don't have anybody mentoring you, somebody saying, hey,
go put on a shirt. Hey, okay, this is a
real this is an interview of our business. Go put
on a shirt and tie. You know what I'm saying.
I wasn't thinking or whatever, but I just appreciate. I
appreciate the correction. And Rashaana know I'm not sensitive. Get
in my face, curse me. I'll tell me what I
need to know. Don't let me walk around the party
(05:20):
with nothing in my nose. Give me some tissue, tell
me to go in the corner and blow my nose.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
You know what I'm saying. That's that's what a real
friend gonna do for you.
Speaker 5 (05:29):
So people like yourself one of my top mentors, getting
at me about certain things and certain stuff on like
you'll call me if you see something on social media
saying hey, you, you should reconsider that you maybe you
should take that down.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Let's talk about that. Hell, you don't know unless you
have a coach. So I just appreciate everything.
Speaker 5 (05:50):
But that's what turned you into a business, and having
a coach and having correction.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Right.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
Well, you know your hometown guy, you know, and I've
been down to your house and I'm a let everybody
know when you come to Ricky Smiley house, come home, gry,
come homewark because.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
He gets mad if you don't understand that.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
He's you're coming to a hidden chef because if he
didn't do the RICKSI Morning Show, he'd be doing Ricky
Smiley Cooking Show.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Tell us about that. He's gonna walk you through the house.
He gonna take you out in the garage, show you
that extra refrigerator.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
He gonna show you.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
The shelves that looked like walmart Ricky. I love that.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Talk about the chicken and dumplins something I know.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
So what did what did the cooking training come from?
What did that? I know you down home? Both tell
us about that.
Speaker 5 (06:39):
Rason, I'm the oldest grand child, so I had to
help my grandma. You know, people would drop aunts and
uncles would drop their kids at my grandmother's for the summer,
so I had to help my grandmother prepare meals. I
got that kind of figuring out, like, well, why are
you doing that like that? Why don't you do that
like this? And and then this started making sense to
(07:00):
my grandmoma, you know, so I started getting in there.
And then it got to a point where my grandmother
got tired of argument and the kitchen. She said, well,
you where you cook the meal, will you go in
there and take out the part ropes? And I started
adding my own little seasonings and spices and.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Stuff too it.
Speaker 5 (07:16):
And then it got to a point where my grandmother
wouldn't cook anymore. As a matter of fact, when my
grandparents got older, I would cook a lot of food.
At the beginning of the week, my grandparents would come
over with tougher wear bowls.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
And then they would have dinner. For the rest of
the week.
Speaker 5 (07:33):
I would cook for myself and both set for my
grandparents and we would divide the food.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Just before they all passed away, and.
Speaker 5 (07:41):
They just really didn't have to cook anymore, so they
would warm up stuff.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
You know.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
I just love to cook, and I started adding my
own little twisting and flavor to it. So I learned
how to get down and get down. Plus I'm trained
by an executive chef. I am trained Kurt Boudreaux, chef
Gennar Uh. They are giving me some wonderful recipes and
gotten in the kitchen with me and taught me a
(08:08):
lot of techniques and a lot of things about seasoning
and flavoring and making sure that your food is good,
you know, helping me, coaching me in and cooking.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
So but I share a name like pastor body there's
into Burman and market. Not trying to connect the two.
But church church, you are a church boar. You start
your show every day with a gospel song. Why is
that important?
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Ricky?
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Uh? First of all, shout out the past.
Speaker 5 (08:35):
Uh uh uh Pastor Mike, Uh, he lived, he lived
one street over.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Her right there. Let me show Let me show you
where his house here? Now? Uh uh?
Speaker 5 (08:55):
You know you know sign before we eat before black folks,
before we eat, we honor God. Before we travel, we
ask God for traveling grace. And you know, you know,
before you do a morning show, you don't know what
kind of date somebody's having, what kind of morning somebody's having.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
You don't know what somebody went through that night.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
And I always told God, if I ever had my
own morning show, I was gonna always open up and
on him. So those first fifteen minutes on my morning show,
I'm giving you, giving God the praise that he deserved,
woke us up this morning and closed on our right mind.
Things might not be perfect, but we just putting a
lot of hope in people giving you know, and God
(09:38):
honors that, you know when you give him praise like
that every single morning on the syndicated show. Sometimes God
minister the people through you, and I mixed uping new
with the own because I'm gonna have me. You know,
I'll play like all of the up to day artists,
but I promise you, I promise you every morning I'm
(09:59):
gonna have some Plano's tenors in Alto.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
That's the morning show for a repart.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
I get up at four thirty old school and doing
Steve Hard Morning Show all those years, I still get
up like I'm doing the morning show at six and
six am. I get up at four thirty. Ain't nobody
wants to get up before thirty, you know that, Rick? Yeah,
But what gets me rolling? I'm on your social media feed.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
I follow Ricky Smiley feed on Facebook. If you have not.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
Liked him or follow him, you're missing some of the
funniest social media post in the country. In the country, Ricky,
you literally if you don't make me laugh, you make
me smile. Oh, you make me say that boy's a food,
that boy's crazy, that boy's stupid, that boy's ignorant. How
(10:51):
the consistency of them. Sometimes the other day when you
had the lady or the lady the fat feet.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
When I when I put this, just blessed.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
It's just a simple taught process, Ricky. Where is all
this ignorance coming from? Ricky on your Facebook page? And
nikas posting consistently.
Speaker 5 (11:20):
In the bed waking up in the middle of the
night thinking the stupid stuff, thinking the crazy stuff and
funny stuff. If I laugh out loud in my bedroom,
next thing, you know, I said, Okay, I'm gonna post
this in the morning. Sometimes, yeah, I think I'm posting
around five, between five and six am.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
My first post. I have to hit them hard, something
something real funny.
Speaker 5 (11:40):
But yeah, when I posted that the lady feet and
a lot of time you look at the feet and
you know, you see what the feet is and how
the feet look. You don't have to make fun of
the feat. You just say this just blessed me.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
Oh you know what. This is what a bad day
look like, right right? Right?
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Yeah? Man, rashon social media is so important.
Speaker 5 (12:08):
Keeping your fans and your followers entertained or whatever. Social
media helped to sell out shows post on media that
you're performed somewhere. A lot of gigs that you get
because you got followers. So when you get the followers,
you have to keep them entertained and get your little
help to help you run your social media to make
sure that you don't make any mistakes and get kicked off,
(12:31):
face broken, all that kind of stuff that you're operating correctly.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
But yeah, it's a lot of.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Fun now social media. You could be anywhere you be
in New York.

huge labs that I get every morning. But if you

the three months down loud. It might be funny now
the repercussions of it. I'm not saying you've done anything
disasters like I just try to just get in everybody's
ears that I love, that I believe in. That makes
(15:18):
the difference, because you want of these people can elect presidents,
you want of these people can raise funds for a community.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
You want of the black voices that we.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
Have at the next generation is because you know the
al Sharptons, the Jesse Jackson's and Andrew Young's. That group
either near the grave or their voices irrelevant to the
community that we're.

and walked out the room.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
I was in tears.
Speaker 5 (16:36):
Not the fact that I wasn't laughing at the fact
that they broke up, but the fact that Gary.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Said that they she chopped the transfer see resigning and you.
Speaker 5 (16:46):
Know Brian is my friend, but man, that was funny.
But Prian, I'm sure you're not getting married because Prian
loved Gary. But but for Gary to say that she
jumped in the transfer portal, man, I think everybody this
polity to their headphone long and just went and stepped outside.
Uh and and everybody's just scattered because it was it
(17:07):

let's move out the jokes. Professional, smart, educated, family man, honest.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
Loyal to a fault.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
But more importantly, he don't forget. He don't forget, and
he cared about your kids, even if he doesn't know
your kids. He cared about your family even if he
doesn't know your family. That's why that morning show I
had to fight and get him understand who he was
(18:22):
and what value he was going to bring and has
been bringing to the table the last two decades of
being on the radio.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
He didn't see that back then, but I think he
understands it now.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Yeah, I got it now, and I appreciate it.
Speaker 5 (18:37):
I really really really appreciate it and grateful for the
opportunity we on some of the big stay We're on
a news station in Tampa call the Vibe the Cocks Radio.
Flip the entire format and put us on so you
can hear us now in Tampa, Saint Pete, Bradington.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Sarasota, clear Water. So that's a big station. Of course.
Speaker 5 (18:59):
You know, we're on in Orlando, number one in Miami,
number one in Jacksonville.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Then we have Atlanta, Dallas.
Speaker 5 (19:07):
Louisville, Nashville, really big station there, Cleveland, Baltimore. It leaves
over into the DC area, Chicago, definitely on in the Shire,
were on in in Portland, Oregon. We on in Seattle, Washington.
Speaker 8 (19:25):
Yeah, don't forget my hometown in Houston now, yes, yes,
we're definitely in Houston on a big station in Houston.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
As a matter of.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
Fact, Now, book are rumors that Ricky Smileley wants to
be an author. I said it in the credits for
the Next Level talk about that I wrote one.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
Book called stand By Your Truth. I just wrote another book.
I'm so excited about it. And if I'm not mistaking
this topic that I mean, the title is going to
be side Show. Uh you remember show step step right
up her Hey can't afford to pass it by, but guaranteed.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
So it shows the happy side and the sad side.
Speaker 5 (20:19):
Considering that twenty twenty twenty three, I had something to
go on with all.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Of my kids.
Speaker 5 (20:29):
My oldest son passed away, my daughter gave birth, and
both of my younger two kids graduated college in one
graduate college and pledge.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
AKA.
Speaker 5 (20:41):
So it's been it's been twenty twenty three has been.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
It's been like that.
Speaker 5 (20:46):
I've been dealing with depression, sadness, anxiety.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Losing a child is.
Speaker 5 (20:53):
Something I would never wish on anybody. This time of year,
you know, the holidays are are really hard. I've been
getting therapy twice a week, learning how to sit in
my feelings instead of just finding something to do and
blocking it out of my head.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Because it's still there.
Speaker 5 (21:12):
It's a possible, and it's gonna come out one way
or the other. So I had to learn how to
sit in my feelings and just sit right here in
this chair about this fireplace and cry it out.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
And I'm talking about sitting in this house.
Speaker 5 (21:25):
If you was a fly on the wall and saw
me sit by myself at this table and cry for
hours in hours and just just cry, you know, trying
(21:46):
to get that, get that out of my system. Because
losing a kid or shunning the bills don't stop coming.
I still got to get up the new radio because
other people have lost kids.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Also. My son was thirty two.
Speaker 5 (22:01):
But I did carry ok last night and there was
a lady and her husband sitting in the audience just
trying to enjoy the husband's birthday because they got to
bury there of twenty five year old son Saturday. So
who are you, Who are you not to get up
and get on the radio and inspire somebody just because
you suffered the loss from people going through worse twenty
(22:22):
five my son, God gave me.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
I look at it like God gave me.
Speaker 5 (22:26):
Extra years because my son could have died when he
was twenty five.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
He could have died when he was seventeen, you know,
And a lot of time.
Speaker 5 (22:33):
Man, God, all of this stuff, at the end of
the day is a test. How are you going to
handle this situation?
Speaker 3 (22:39):
Now?
Speaker 5 (22:39):
You gonna make this situation about you? Are you gonna
use the situation to get better, to get close of
the God, bring other people close to the God, and
help other people with their situation. And so my son
died on a Sunday. They told me to take as
much time as I need. That Wednesday, I was back
on the air and I cried in between the songs.
I cried doing Mercy Break, but I thugged it out
(23:02):
and I stayed on the radio and did what I.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Had to do.
Speaker 5 (23:04):
And I went and served the homes at the Salvation
Army that Wednesday before his funeral. I thank God for
carrying me. I thank God for keeping me. I thank God.
If I never knew God.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
A day of my life, I knew him January.
Speaker 5 (23:18):
To twenty ninth, twenty twenty three. Because I didn't do
it by myself. God was carrying me. I couldn't walk
down the hall to get to the elevator to get
on the plane to get the Birnham.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
I said God, if I can make it.
Speaker 5 (23:30):
Down the hall, from my door to the elevator at
my apartment Complax in Dallas.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
If you let me make it to the elevator.
Speaker 5 (23:38):
I can make it because I promised God I was
about to pass out, and that's a fact.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
I'm glad he allowed me that honest moment.
Speaker 4 (23:45):
That's why I didn't want to interrupt, because our relationship
is about honesty. Our relationship about the truth. Let me
tell you the truth about this man. Incredible family, incredible father, parent.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
I love it. Hey, Ricky, smile again.
Speaker 4 (24:01):

Speaker 2 (01:39):
Hey, what's up big bro? Hey?
Speaker 5 (01:41):
First of all, I know you're trying to get the
intro and stuff right. A lot of people don't know.
Had it not been for you, it would not be
the Ricky Smider Morning Show. Thanks to you and your
influence and talking to Alfred and Missus Hughes when they
asked a question, who would be great to fill in
(02:03):
because y'alls going to another company'll and y'all said Ricky Snouley.
So I really appreciate the opportunity, and I just try
to take advantage of every opportunity that y'all have ever
provided for me.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
So I appreciate you were shigning for everything.
Speaker 5 (02:16):
Well, thank you, Ricky, thank you for being a mentor
and thank you for being a big brother.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Well, first of all.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
Thank you because a lot of people get opportunities, Ricky,
you know that, and they don't understand the work that's involved,
because getting up every day all these years since we
gave you the opportunity can be challenging, can be frustrating,
and people walk away and go give half effort.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
But you've established your brand in radio.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
Tell the importanness of branding through the radio and how
you impact the community other than just being a funny guy.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Yeah, Brandon is important.
Speaker 5 (02:51):
One thing that does reshine to keep your name out there,
keep your brand out there. If you're lucky and blessed
enough to get stations like DL Steve myself different ones
every hour, at least two or three times an hour
your name is mentioned on the radio station. Somebody dropped
in the car, they hear your name. You know that's
(03:13):
that's good for your Brand's good for your social media.
That keep your your name presence with people. At the
top of the hour when they do the station I
d a home of the Ricky Smiley Morning Show or whatever,
and then they might play a clip or whatever. These
are in cars while people driving to work getting off work,
dropping the kids, or you know, when they're flipping radio station,
(03:34):
they hear your name. So when you show up at
a comedy club or whatever, it hurts your name so
much and it's a build up. People pay money and
they stand the line and they come out to see you.
Because it's not a lot of people that do radio
that still perform other than d L and myself that.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Have their own show, syndicated show.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
Now, that's that's important that the business side see. I've
met Ricky Smiley.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
Web back when he was just a young comedian that
wanted to be on stage to tell Joe. Now I'm
here Ricky Smile and the business man.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
When did that part of Ricky Smile has started going
in front of the comedian.
Speaker 5 (04:14):
People like you cussing people out on the phone every
other week. Yah yeah, yeah. I want everybody that's watching
this interview to see that this a very classy and
pleasant interview. As a matter of fact, when I came
on the interview, I had on a Nike T shirt
and Rashaan cursed at me and told me I need
(04:37):
to go put on a suit coat. Tired or told
them that, so I had to run run back to
my room and get dressed. People don't understand the relationship
without listen. You have to have somebody to coach you,
and coaching don't have to be kind. Nick Saban holler
at those guys all day, cussing out all week, but
then they.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Hold up the SEC championship at the end of the day. Day.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
And if you don't have anybody mentoring you, somebody saying, hey,
go put on a shirt. Hey, okay, this is a
real this is an interview of our business. Go put
on a shirt and tie. You know what I'm saying.
I wasn't thinking or whatever, but I just appreciate. I
appreciate the correction. And Rashaana know I'm not sensitive. Get
in my face, curse me. I'll tell me what I
need to know. Don't let me walk around the party
(05:20):
with nothing in my nose. Give me some tissue, tell
me to go in the corner and blow my nose.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
You know what I'm saying. That's that's what a real
friend gonna do for you.
Speaker 5 (05:29):
So people like yourself one of my top mentors, getting
at me about certain things and certain stuff on like
you'll call me if you see something on social media
saying hey, you, you should reconsider that you maybe you
should take that down.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Let's talk about that. Hell, you don't know unless you
have a coach. So I just appreciate everything.
Speaker 5 (05:50):
But that's what turned you into a business, and having
a coach and having correction.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Right.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
Well, you know your hometown guy, you know, and I've
been down to your house and I'm a let everybody
know when you come to Ricky Smiley house, come home, gry,
come homewark because.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
He gets mad if you don't understand that.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
He's you're coming to a hidden chef because if he
didn't do the RICKSI Morning Show, he'd be doing Ricky
Smiley Cooking Show.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Tell us about that. He's gonna walk you through the house.
He gonna take you out in the garage, show you
that extra refrigerator.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
He gonna show you.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
The shelves that looked like walmart Ricky. I love that.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Talk about the chicken and dumplins something I know.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
So what did what did the cooking training come from?
What did that? I know you down home? Both tell
us about that.
Speaker 5 (06:39):
Rason, I'm the oldest grand child, so I had to
help my grandma. You know, people would drop aunts and
uncles would drop their kids at my grandmother's for the summer,
so I had to help my grandmother prepare meals. I
got that kind of figuring out, like, well, why are
you doing that like that? Why don't you do that
like this? And and then this started making sense to
(07:00):
my grandmoma, you know, so I started getting in there.
And then it got to a point where my grandmother
got tired of argument and the kitchen. She said, well,
you where you cook the meal, will you go in
there and take out the part ropes? And I started
adding my own little seasonings and spices and.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Stuff too it.
Speaker 5 (07:16):
And then it got to a point where my grandmother
wouldn't cook anymore. As a matter of fact, when my
grandparents got older, I would cook a lot of food.
At the beginning of the week, my grandparents would come
over with tougher wear bowls.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
And then they would have dinner. For the rest of
the week.
Speaker 5 (07:33):
I would cook for myself and both set for my
grandparents and we would divide the food.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Just before they all passed away, and.
Speaker 5 (07:41):
They just really didn't have to cook anymore, so they
would warm up stuff.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
You know.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
I just love to cook, and I started adding my
own little twisting and flavor to it. So I learned
how to get down and get down. Plus I'm trained
by an executive chef. I am trained Kurt Boudreaux, chef
Gennar Uh. They are giving me some wonderful recipes and
gotten in the kitchen with me and taught me a
(08:08):
lot of techniques and a lot of things about seasoning
and flavoring and making sure that your food is good,
you know, helping me, coaching me in and cooking.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
So but I share a name like pastor body there's
into Burman and market. Not trying to connect the two.
But church church, you are a church boar. You start
your show every day with a gospel song. Why is
that important?
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Ricky?
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Uh? First of all, shout out the past.
Speaker 5 (08:35):
Uh uh uh Pastor Mike, Uh, he lived, he lived
one street over.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Her right there. Let me show Let me show you
where his house here? Now? Uh uh?
Speaker 5 (08:55):
You know you know sign before we eat before black folks,
before we eat, we honor God. Before we travel, we
ask God for traveling grace. And you know, you know,
before you do a morning show, you don't know what
kind of date somebody's having, what kind of morning somebody's having.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
You don't know what somebody went through that night.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
And I always told God, if I ever had my
own morning show, I was gonna always open up and
on him. So those first fifteen minutes on my morning show,
I'm giving you, giving God the praise that he deserved,
woke us up this morning and closed on our right mind.
Things might not be perfect, but we just putting a
lot of hope in people giving you know, and God
(09:38):
honors that, you know when you give him praise like
that every single morning on the syndicated show. Sometimes God
minister the people through you, and I mixed uping new
with the own because I'm gonna have me. You know,
I'll play like all of the up to day artists,
but I promise you, I promise you every morning I'm
(09:59):
gonna have some Plano's tenors in Alto.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
That's the morning show for a repart.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
I get up at four thirty old school and doing
Steve Hard Morning Show all those years, I still get
up like I'm doing the morning show at six and
six am. I get up at four thirty. Ain't nobody
wants to get up before thirty, you know that, Rick? Yeah,
But what gets me rolling? I'm on your social media feed.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
I follow Ricky Smiley feed on Facebook. If you have not.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
Liked him or follow him, you're missing some of the
funniest social media post in the country. In the country, Ricky,
you literally if you don't make me laugh, you make
me smile. Oh, you make me say that boy's a food,
that boy's crazy, that boy's stupid, that boy's ignorant. How
(10:51):
the consistency of them. Sometimes the other day when you
had the lady or the lady the fat feet.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
When I when I put this, just blessed.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
It's just a simple taught process, Ricky. Where is all
this ignorance coming from? Ricky on your Facebook page? And
nikas posting consistently.
Speaker 5 (11:20):
In the bed waking up in the middle of the
night thinking the stupid stuff, thinking the crazy stuff and
funny stuff. If I laugh out loud in my bedroom,
next thing, you know, I said, Okay, I'm gonna post
this in the morning. Sometimes, yeah, I think I'm posting
around five, between five and six am.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
My first post. I have to hit them hard, something
something real funny.
Speaker 5 (11:40):
But yeah, when I posted that the lady feet and
a lot of time you look at the feet and
you know, you see what the feet is and how
the feet look. You don't have to make fun of
the feat. You just say this just blessed me.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
Oh you know what. This is what a bad day
look like, right right? Right?
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Yeah? Man, rashon social media is so important.
Speaker 5 (12:08):
Keeping your fans and your followers entertained or whatever. Social
media helped to sell out shows post on media that
you're performed somewhere. A lot of gigs that you get
because you got followers. So when you get the followers,
you have to keep them entertained and get your little
help to help you run your social media to make
sure that you don't make any mistakes and get kicked off,
(12:31):
face broken, all that kind of stuff that you're operating correctly.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
But yeah, it's a lot of.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Fun now social media. You could be anywhere you be
in New York.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
You can follow them for social media and get those
huge labs that I get every morning. But if you
want to see it for real, the raw version, the
improvisational version, the impromptu talent that shouldn't be on stage,
and a lot of talent that should be on stage,
go to Birmingham, Alabama on a Monday night Stardom and

at that Carraoke Night talk to tell him about it, Ricky,

End, you know, even with Steve Harvey and any else
I'm involved in my life, I understand crisis management. I
understand the next step, the six months down the line,
the three months down loud. It might be funny now
the repercussions of it. I'm not saying you've done anything
disasters like I just try to just get in everybody's
ears that I love, that I believe in. That makes
(15:18):
the difference, because you want of these people can elect presidents,
you want of these people can raise funds for a community.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
You want of the black voices that we.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
Have at the next generation is because you know the
al Sharptons, the Jesse Jackson's and Andrew Young's. That group
either near the grave or their voices irrelevant to the
community that we're.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
Talking to nowadays.

Evans has entered the transferred portal.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (16:31):
Yeah, I threw I threw my headphones and got up
and walked out the room.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
I was in tears.
Speaker 5 (16:36):
Not the fact that I wasn't laughing at the fact
that they broke up, but the fact that Gary.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Said that they she chopped the transfer see resigning and you.
Speaker 5 (16:46):
Know Brian is my friend, but man, that was funny.
But Prian, I'm sure you're not getting married because Prian
loved Gary. But but for Gary to say that she
jumped in the transfer portal, man, I think everybody this
polity to their headphone long and just went and stepped outside.
Uh and and everybody's just scattered because it was it
(17:07):
was that funny. But for him to put it into
that crist But we all will agree she's a five
star recruit.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
We were all.
Speaker 7 (17:18):
Whoam you see them videos with her decorating the Christmas
tree that with that blue dress.

let's move out the jokes. Professional, smart, educated, family man, honest.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
Loyal to a fault.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
But more importantly, he don't forget. He don't forget, and
he cared about your kids, even if he doesn't know
your kids. He cared about your family even if he
doesn't know your family. That's why that morning show I
had to fight and get him understand who he was
(18:22):
and what value he was going to bring and has
been bringing to the table the last two decades of
being on the radio.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
He didn't see that back then, but I think he
understands it now.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Yeah, I got it now, and I appreciate it.
Speaker 5 (18:37):
I really really really appreciate it and grateful for the
opportunity we on some of the big stay We're on
a news station in Tampa call the Vibe the Cocks Radio.
Flip the entire format and put us on so you
can hear us now in Tampa, Saint Pete, Bradington.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Sarasota, clear Water. So that's a big station. Of course.
Speaker 5 (18:59):
You know, we're on in Orlando, number one in Miami,
number one in Jacksonville.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Then we have Atlanta, Dallas.
Speaker 5 (19:07):
Louisville, Nashville, really big station there, Cleveland, Baltimore. It leaves
over into the DC area, Chicago, definitely on in the Shire,
were on in in Portland, Oregon. We on in Seattle, Washington.
Speaker 8 (19:25):
Yeah, don't forget my hometown in Houston now, yes, yes,
we're definitely in Houston on a big station in Houston.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
As a matter of.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
Fact, Now, book are rumors that Ricky Smileley wants to
be an author. I said it in the credits for
the Next Level talk about that I wrote one.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
Book called stand By Your Truth. I just wrote another book.
I'm so excited about it. And if I'm not mistaking
this topic that I mean, the title is going to
be side Show. Uh you remember show step step right
up her Hey can't afford to pass it by, but guaranteed.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
So it shows the happy side and the sad side.
Speaker 5 (20:19):
Considering that twenty twenty twenty three, I had something to
go on with all.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Of my kids.
Speaker 5 (20:29):
My oldest son passed away, my daughter gave birth, and
both of my younger two kids graduated college in one
graduate college and pledge.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
AKA.
Speaker 5 (20:41):
So it's been it's been twenty twenty three has been.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
It's been like that.
Speaker 5 (20:46):
I've been dealing with depression, sadness, anxiety.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Losing a child is.
Speaker 5 (20:53):
Something I would never wish on anybody. This time of year,
you know, the holidays are are really hard. I've been
getting therapy twice a week, learning how to sit in
my feelings instead of just finding something to do and
blocking it out of my head.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Because it's still there.
Speaker 5 (21:12):
It's a possible, and it's gonna come out one way
or the other. So I had to learn how to
sit in my feelings and just sit right here in
this chair about this fireplace and cry it out.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
And I'm talking about sitting in this house.
Speaker 5 (21:25):
If you was a fly on the wall and saw
me sit by myself at this table and cry for
hours in hours and just just cry, you know, trying
(21:46):
to get that, get that out of my system. Because
losing a kid or shunning the bills don't stop coming.
I still got to get up the new radio because
other people have lost kids.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Also. My son was thirty two.
Speaker 5 (22:01):
But I did carry ok last night and there was
a lady and her husband sitting in the audience just
trying to enjoy the husband's birthday because they got to
bury there of twenty five year old son Saturday. So
who are you, Who are you not to get up
and get on the radio and inspire somebody just because
you suffered the loss from people going through worse twenty
(22:22):
five my son, God gave me.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
I look at it like God gave me.
Speaker 5 (22:26):
Extra years because my son could have died when he
was twenty five.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
He could have died when he was seventeen, you know,
And a lot of time.
Speaker 5 (22:33):
Man, God, all of this stuff, at the end of
the day is a test. How are you going to
handle this situation?
Speaker 3 (22:39):
Now?
Speaker 5 (22:39):
You gonna make this situation about you? Are you gonna
use the situation to get better, to get close of
the God, bring other people close to the God, and
help other people with their situation. And so my son
died on a Sunday. They told me to take as
much time as I need. That Wednesday, I was back
on the air and I cried in between the songs.
I cried doing Mercy Break, but I thugged it out
(23:02):
and I stayed on the radio and did what I.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Had to do.
Speaker 5 (23:04):
And I went and served the homes at the Salvation
Army that Wednesday before his funeral. I thank God for
