BEN BALLER: Yo, Shaun, what's good, buddy? SHAUN NEFF: What's up, Ben? You good? BEN BALLER: Yeah, I'm good, dog. I'm just chilling, man. SHAUN NEFF: Cool, man. Good to hear your voice. I was just calling you. I know we sent out [INAUDIBLE] box of watches. You should be seeing that in a couple days. BEN BALLER: OK, word, dude. I need that. That's great. I'll look out for that. Everything else good with you? SHAUN NEFF: Yeah, all is well, man. Just [INAUDIBLE]. BEN BALLER: You have a blessed day, brother. SHAUN NEFF: Thank you, man. Peace. BEN BALLER: All right, [INAUDIBLE]. My name is Ben Baller, and you probably recognize me pushing fancy whips, stunting in the nightclubs, or sitting courtside at the Laker games. But the rest of the world knows me as the Jeweler to the Stars, Ben Baller. So I'm heading out to go see Andy Milonakis. I haven't seen him in a while. People think he's, like, *** 14. But really is I think he's 57. The crazy thing is I just saw a picture him the other day. And he looks like Roseanne Barr meets Chunk from "The Goonies," dude. It's *** crazy. ANDY MILONAKIS: Five. BEN BALLER: And this is a boar? ANDY MILONAKIS: I don't know. BEN BALLER: Is it an upside-down ***? ANDY MILONAKIS: Looks like my grandma's mouth. BEN BALLER: Where are you taking me, dude? Are we going to-- ANDY MILONAKIS: We're going to the roof of the Hollywood Tower. BEN BALLER: *** is this, [INAUDIBLE]? ANDY MILONAKIS: This is like Rorschach [INAUDIBLE]. You see a butterfly sucking a moose ***. Or you could just see your childhood dreams in there. BEN BALLER: This reminds me of the *** Willy Wonka Chocolate Factory secret door. ANDY MILONAKIS: I want a feast. I want a bean feast. BEN BALLER: Maniac. ANDY MILONAKIS: Welcome to our world of toys. Old school Hollywood tower. This is where we get drunk, slap *** up. Ever been up here? BEN BALLER: Yeah, dude, when I *** your mom. ANDY MILONAKIS: Oh, she didn't tell me that. BEN BALLER: This is sick, dude. ANDY MILONAKIS: Yo, check this out, though. We got a kumquat tree. There's something so natural all picking something off a tree and actually getting to eat it. I just get hella high up here and just eat kumquats. BEN BALLER: This *** is *** nasty as ***, dude. *** a ***. ANDY MILONAKIS: *** your diamond supply. BEN BALLER: *** is wrong with you, man? ANDY MILONAKIS: Can I call you kumquat? BEN BALLER: ***. ANDY MILONAKIS: You get really drunk up here and just try to *** hit cars. I think I just hit that car. BEN BALLER: I got a question, dude. I just want you to be honest. How many men have you slept with, dude? ANDY MILONAKIS: Including you? Zero. You crazy Asian. So what have you got going on today? You going to Justin Bieber's sweet sixteen, or something? BEN BALLER: I'm actually going to head downtown to Goodie Mob. They're doing a video. They're coming back. ANDY MILONAKIS: Goodie Mob? BEN BALLER: Cee Lo-- ANDY MILONAKIS: Yo. BEN BALLER: I'm heading down there and do that. And then I'm going to go to *** Victoria's Secret and get you a *** bra you [INAUDIBLE]. ANDY MILONAKIS: I am going to *** your ***. I'm going to *** the *** out of your ***. BEN BALLER: All right, buddy. It was good to see you, man. ANDY MILONAKIS: Yeah, you too, man. BEN BALLER: Hey, dude. ANDY MILONAKIS: And stay out. BEN BALLER: Just left Andy Milonakis. He's a *** maniac, man. That kid is funny. I'm going to really kick his *** when I see him next time. I'm headed to go see my boys, the Goodie Mob off right now. *** Cee Lo and Big Gipp, those are my boys. They reunited, got back together. I guess this is their first coming back video that they're shooting in downtown Los Angeles this right now. I'm going to go show support, you know what I'm saying? Show some love. Another day in the life of Mister Benjamin Baller. -[INAUDIBLE] CEE LO: Come see, man. Look at Gipp. [INAUDIBLE]. Let me see what you're doing, man. BIG GIPP: [INAUDIBLE]. CEE LO: That's a $50,000 alligator jacket. BEN BALLER: Just so you guys understand, this is a BMW M3 on him. [INTERPOSING VOICES] CEE LO: Go get [INAUDIBLE]. BEN BALLER: I remember going to see you guys perform with the Fugees when they were selling [INAUDIBLE] records. And you guys did (SINGING) Who's that peeping through my window-- I was like, live band, it was *** crazy. So you know I've always been a fan. So I just want to let people know that you guys are coming back. And everyone's talking about it. It's buzzing. CEE LO: [INAUDIBLE] your store. We want to do an on location edition. BEN BALLER: We'll do that. [INAUDIBLE] crazy *** trying to buy the whole ***. Almost put us out of business. CEE LO: [INAUDIBLE] earlier today doing the grilles. We're going to bring them shizz back. BEN BALLER: [INAUDIBLE]. CEE LO: [INAUDIBLE]. BEN BALLER: [INAUDIBLE] downstairs. Where are we going? [INTERPOSING VOICES] BEN BALLER: What the ***? We really in the dungeon for real. YOUNG DRE: [INAUDIBLE]. CEE LO: See the trans before [INAUDIBLE]. What's next? BEN BALLER: Of course. CEE LO: I know everybody, even me, just rocking smaller pieces. BEN BALLER: The smaller pieces-- CEE LO: Plain Janes is what we call them. BEN BALLER: The one thing that's coming back real heavy right now the curb, the Turkish links, the Cuban bracelets. Obviously gold is huge. The costume *** will eventually die out because everyone's neck is turning green, and all their *** is-- for real, though. CEE LO: Public, people, listen to me. Those are ladies' belts that *** is wearing around they necks. BEN BALLER: 85-year-old women who go to Palm Springs for vacation, that's what kind of *** they wearing. CEE LO: It's cool. BEN BALLER: No, they tripping. CEE LO: [INAUDIBLE] dates back way, way, way back. How did you get into fashion and jewelry? Don't you find empathy for those who don't have it? BEN BALLER: I feel bad for them. CEE LO: [INAUDIBLE] naturally unfashionable. [INTERPOSING VOICES] [MUSIC PLAYING] [INTERPOSING VOICES] -Hi. BEN BALLER: Much love. [INTERPOSING VOICES] BEN BALLER: Just *** tired. Now we'll come to the place called fatherhood. I got to go home and put my son to sleep. He gives zero ***. He don't care about no fame, no celebrity, no money making. Tomorrow I've got to get up with Cee Lo, talking about he wants to do a couple things. Not going to stress him about it. Great day. Great night. Tomorrow. [MUSIC PLAYING] BEN BALLER: Yesterday I was with Andy and Goodie Mob. This morning I got a promo package from Neff. Instead of giving them out to celebrities, I decided to come here to Homeboy Industries, and check out their operation. I'm going to bless five lucky people here that have been putting in a lot of work, and give them these watches. LUIS COLOCIO: Hey, what's up, homeboy? BEN BALLER: What's up, bro? LUIS COLOCIO: Welcome to Homeboy. BEN BALLER: Thank you. I appreciate it, bro. LUIS COLOCIO: We'll start off in the tour, over here on this side. This whole thing with Homeboy Industries is just amazing. You've got kids here. You've got gangsters coming here. You can do community service, outreach, tattoo removal. They got counseling. Good people helping other good people out. They give them a second chance at life. THADDEUS SKILES: So these are our junior staff members here. They work in various departments. Their main thing here is to work on themselves, to work on that change in their life. BEN BALLER: What I do for a living is I'm a celebrity jeweler. I make jewelry for a lot of people. And I have a watch coming out. Most of my promo goes to celebrities, so that when someone sees Justin Bieber wearing my watch, a lot of kids are like, oh, I see that watch that Ben Baller got. I want one, too. Today, I got some watches to gift out to some celebrities. I said, I need to go Homeboy. I want to get five people some watches. Time is money. And it's always good to [INAUDIBLE] time. What's your name? -Katie, my name's Katie. BEN BALLER: OK, well here. -Thank you. BEN BALLER: There's one for you. What's your name? -Jose. BEN BALLER: Jose, here you go. -Thank you. BEN BALLER: [INAUDIBLE], here you go. What's your name? -Tyrone. BEN BALLER: Tyrone, man, here you go. And I couldn't forget about you, bro. -Thank you very much. I appreciate it. BEN BALLER: Here you go, man. -God bless you. BEN BALLER: No problem. -Thank you. BEN BALLER: You know, something about me, I got caught up in gang *** when I was young. I got kicked out of nine schools in three years. There's never been a good story or a good ending for someone's hustling and doing bad in the streets. Even if it's 2%, 3%, I just want to be better every day. -Well, on behalf of Homeboy Industries, we thank you, man. [INTERPOSING VOICES] [MUSIC PLAYING] -Thank you for coming to Homeboy, man. [INTERPOSING VOICES] -You know it's not a lot of people that give back, once they get successful in the game, and he understand where he came from. And that's a blessing. I'm just happy that [INAUDIBLE] gave me one. And I appreciate it, man. Thanks for coming out, Ben. -We got these badass watches. It's good. They giving back to the community, acknowledging us, that we can change. He made a difference in his life as well, bringing smiles to people's faces. BEN BALLER: Today was amazing day. Out of everything I think I've done with regards to this show, today *** me up. We came here to Homeboy Industries. This is the real deal. Thank you everyone at Homeboy Industries, man. [INAUDIBLE].
