That's good. Let me judge them instead. Their trash and their so-called supporters are misguided.

[@krissaca09]

When Cam asked them if their fathers were present, and the young man on the end said, “ I’m my own father.” That almost tore me up and down 😭😭

[@235j5]

You might not get what he saying or know what he meant by it but other young men who know and feel the same way know what he's talking about

[@jackjackrvaglobal365]

🔥🔥🔥 again this proves Cam worth to Atlanta and the black youth across America! Great content. Wishing these young kings the best!

[@GeorgiaWhisper]

My heart goes out to the young man who said he didnt have a father. The fact that he struggled to name a positive role to look up to and guide him speaks volumes. I wish their role models were people they could reah out to. I think with the right guidance they'll be ok.❤

With Cam already knowing that these young brothers are hungry and motivated to get some money it would be dope as hell if he could keep mentoring them and find a way to get them employed with some of his many business ventures. Each one teach one is a quote I love and Cam is definitely on a good start with doing that with these young men. I hope they stay down and motivated and make a great life for their selves.

[@tamaramccaskill]

Thank you for sitting down with these young brothers 👏🏽👏🏾👏🏿

[@Blessed2bhere34]

TheFalcons should hire these kids as water boys.I used to see them everyday leaving work and they were respectful and I gave what I could when I could. They selling water not drugs. Ppl really need to see!

[@Rvdpapii]

This is the type of content the people need!! Great Work Cam

[@OnlyDanyelle]

I LOVE this interview so much that I had to grab my 14yr & make her watch it with me. I would love to see these young men get the proper education & mentor to help them achieve all their dreams & goals. Cam is trying to give them a different perspective & mindset without telling them. He’s trying to see if they will catch what’s he’s giving them. I believe they can get it. They just need the right people in their lives ❤

[@jhackk]

I hope to see them on other podcast. Cam blessed them big by giving them his platform

[@markuswilliams6316]

Cam been doing this. I’m happy he is finally giving us a chance to see what he does in real Life.

[@janise4156]

When I tell you that this was one of the BEST, and REALIST interviews to date that you have shown. Don't get me wrong, the celebrities are great to see how authentic they are off camera, but to see you interview these young fellas in their true form with Atlanta dialect, is my absolute favorite video so far. To see their mindset, to hear your questions and that they really could not understand what you were asking, because they grew up on the streets of Atlanta. I understood them. As a teacher in Atlanta for 19 years in East Point, I appreciate this interview more than your others. To the gentleman that is 19 years old, you don't have a role model because no man has stepped up and guided you outside your environment, but you know what you can do and want in life. That's commendable. ♥️ Cam I would love to see more regular people like these young men, average pay check to pay check people like myself on your channel.

[@lindaadams1008]

Cam, you need to do a part (2) to this interview... Excellent...😊

[@meganharris583]

Facts!!!!! With the mothers! We have to talk about the lack of male influence and it’s cyclical curse.

[@greglouch]

Man!...I can break this down in so many ways. smh..The best thing I can say is ...1st ..that I'm proud that these young men aren't robbing or killing...2nd....BE A FATHER TO YOUR CHILD!!!! These young men need Positive Fathers and Father Figures. I'm glad that Cam took it down to their level to let them know.." I'm hip too lil Jit I'm from where y'all From".

[@creolela]

I started this video kinda iffy because I thought this would be a projecting video from Cam. A lot of time adults can hate on children. But I’m happy I watched this. These kids needed to have their eyes open so they can stay on the right track. These kids are smart as hell too. I wish them nothing but the best. And thank you for being patient / understanding with them ❤️

[@sweetdiva590]

Cams whole speech changed😂. These kids are bosses. But without direction they won't go too far.

[@elizabethgodfrey1033]

Cam, I love u gave these young men a chance on your show. This is a great blessing to our world that u were gutsy enough to do this. I hope the Gen Z Generation appreciates this, too! Cam, u won’t only just be remembered as a Great NFL Quarterback, but, also as a real strong caring man in our world. I thank God for you, and what you’ve done, and continues to do! Eventually, u will select ur future wife. Pray to God, and let him do the selection. May God continues to anoint your whole family! ☮️💕❤️💪🏼🔥🙏

[@joithediva]

Great interview. With the proper mentorship, education and support, these young men can tap into and unlock each of their greatness.

[@shelbyrobinson-xz1ur]

GE Mr Newton, I am old and not on social media. I have never never commented on anything but I saw this podcast on Sunday morning at 9:00 am. I was so proud of you to tell these the right things to say and do. I’m proud of you for getting on them and letting them know what they could become. I loved this article and if you possibly can stay on them and guide them also check on them from time to time. This is what I needed this morning. I was talking and yelling to the tv go to college please. Thank You Mr Newton this is what our boys need.

[@justincase4516]

Shoutout to Cam for keeping it all the way funky💯🫡 Giving deez young guys free advice to success on your platform, is definitely a great way towards the goal of motivating and saving our youth🚫🧢💪🏾✊🏾

[@ravensfan410]

Big props to you Cam by bringing in the youngins! It's clear to me that most of these kids want to work, they just want to do it in a different way. Not everybody wants to go to college or work a 9 to 5 in some office building.

[@mimiwins1]

Really enjoyed this interview! Especially letting them know you cannot force anyone to give money or buy anything. Even if they promise to buy next time - you cannot force anyone. 17:30 Behavior and Tone is everything ❤ 💯

[@jamesredding9410]

Great interview Cam! It’s all about GUIDANCE & Environment ! These young brothers are products of their environment - in the household, community, ect . Cam I appreciate you doing this & im sure they do too because they matter! A lot of times at this age you can feel like you don’t , no one cares so u gotta do what you gotta do, & like the other young bro said he’s his own father! We can’t have our kids out there like that man gotta be real men! Continue being a role model for them & much success with their business! Respect 💯

CAM, Great interview! It was really something when you asked the boys about male role models and fathers. They struggled to answer. The suggestion of using their money to see other cities and travel was so smart. You shared lots of valuable insights. You are so talented and your vibe has always been so magnetic. We sure do miss you here in Charlotte. You were so good to this community. Love your show!! Thanks for giving ppl the chance to hear different perspectives! 🙏❤

[@Tooreallibra]

They are sooooo intelligent they just need proper guidance thank you Cam for giving them this exposure.

🎉🎉 This interview had me on a serious rollercoaster ride I went from smiling ear to ear to tearing up to lol.. This was a five star plus interview.. I never purchased any water from any of the water boys.. I always just blessed them with the money instead. Salute to Cam and to the 3 Young Kings.. I can see a movie being made about them…

Yea I was tearing up too. Cam got something going here. All due respect and I mean that with all my heart

Best episode to me because of what this is doing for these young men & the other young men in the world that have similar struggles, experiences and desires to excel/“make it.”

[@Natural_920]

This episode was everything! The way Cam mentored while applauding their efforts was major 👏🏽…. This is how you give back. There are so many Gen Z’s that need this type of guidance and encouragement. I like the way Cam had them see finances from and outside perspective(example: the Jordans) Which has had a chokehold on the Blk community for a long time. I wish these young men reach their goals, achieve in life and become the examples they never had! Here’s to #Atlantawaterboyz and #thesingleladies😅😂😂

[@renshoota]

I'm happy you put some perspective on how to see these young men. I'm from the Caribbean, and for us, a lot of times, this type of image speaks to ghetto, uneducated, and a poor mindset. So you, being from the culture, can relate while outside the culture sees them very differently.
