- These loud, ignorant black people
are my best friends from college.
- It's not about you, it's not about, it's not--
- These are the best friends a girl could have.
But right now, I just need them to shut up!
(groovy music)
Bigger is about a group of friends
that are very close-knit from college
trying to figure out their 30s.
- The transition into adulthood
that we thought we were going to do in our 20s,
but, ah-ha, you're not really an adult
until you're in your 30s.
Is 35 the time when people start randomly dropping dead?
You all remember Sigma Tony?
He died like, three months ago.
- But that was from a drug overdose.
- He could handle his drugs at 25 is the point.
- We always feel like, oh, okay,
when we're growing up, we're in high school,
it's like, man, I'm going to graduate, I'm going to go to college.
And then it's like, when I'm 30 I'm supposed
to be in that great job and be a millionaire.
And it's like, nah.
- Oh my God, if I died right now
all my obit would say is, chick who used to be the shit,
but ended up struggling, that's not cool.
We've all experienced struggle
in certain aspects of our lives.
And we're all trying to utilize our skill set,
and utilize each other and our friendship and our kinship
to take it to the next level.
- Encourage each other and support each other.
And clown each other. (laughs)
Throughout life and life's transitions,
and they're doing it together.
- There also might be a bigger penis involved.
(menacing music)
- Don't judge me.
Layne is this really wonderful, upbeat,
creative, lovely woman.
Excuse me while I fake it.
(man grunting)
- I. - Oh my, oh my goodness.
- Love. - Oh my goodness.
She spent all of her life
doing what everyone else told her to do.
I need a little more time, that's all, okay?
- Time, huh? - Mm-hmm.
- She throws a bomb into her life and fun ensues. (laughs)
To say the least.
He can't just spring such a big question on me like that.
- I think that's literally the definition of a proposal.
- She knows what she wants to do,
but she don't know exactly what she's doing.
- You seem like a nice guy.
- Thank you.
By the way, I accidentally shit in the sink.
- She's very sweet, but she does some things sometimes
that you're just like, oh, Layne, just.
You all saw me, I really just, I tried to tell him.
You know, but that's TV.
We can't have her making good decisions all the time.
Who's going to watch that show?
(rhythmic music)
I can't be here.
What is Jesus sees me?
- Oh girl, Jesus knows your heart.
Bring you ass.
- Veronica is like the super intelligent older sister
that'll give it to you straight.
- Veronica, who is trying to transition
from one part of her career to the next part.
- There she go, yes, Veronica sells Atlanta, baby. (laughs)
She's all about her business, she's a real estate agent.
And she's all about selling her properties
and stacking the monies.
That is what her focus is.
- I've been trying to sell this house for almost a year now.
You stepped in and you do it in less than a month?
- Let's fuck, yeah.
And love is kind of on the back burner.
Right now, I'm juggling three of 'em, okay?
Number one, my knock your head back, align your spine guy.
Number two, my fine wine and dine guy.
Then I got my number three.
My little late night dude who comes by
when number one and number two aren't available.
- Veronica is someone who is straight to the point
and she knows what she wants, apparently,
with her love life, we think.
- Thank you, you're a good listener.
Vince is the trusting down-to-earth,
stuck in the past friend.
- Nah, they like them young DJs
with they Apple Music ass playlists.
You know I'm a purist.
He's the youngest out of the group, he's very stubborn.
And he's a DJ, and so his music tastes
reflects that stubbornness.
- Stop fucking with these whack-ass clubs
and get it poppin'!
And lose this old ass Velour.
- Vince is Layne's cousin, who is just
always in her life like a brother.
He's a little trapped in a different era,
but that's okay, he's figuring it out.
What, you saying something's wrong with my gear?
- First of all, nigga, you said gear.
Everybody's favorite uncle that you're like,
oh, Uncle Joe, he still keep wearin' them shoes.
And we don't know where he buy 'em from.
- You can't kill a man's confidence through a workout, man.
With Deon, he's someone who's very professional.
He is a planner, he's cheap.
- There it is!
- [Customer] Who this nigga?
- If you ain't payin', back the fuck up.
- Forget you then.
That's why your weave stink.
Deon is trying to climb that corporate ladder.
He's in a position where he tries to follow
that blueprint that everybody tries to follow
when you're trying to move up in that world.
- Why are you walkin' like Sam Jackson?
- What, that's how I always walk.
- Nah, it's extra black today. - Yeah.
- Did you have to be extra white at work?
- Yeah, sis, you know, I just need a moment
to reset back to black.
And you're doing everything what you thought was right,
but you found out that there's a couple pieces missing.
- IPAs all around.
- Okay, what flavor?
- I'll have kumquat.
- I want that.
- My character struggles the most with identity.
- [Bartender] And you have the kumquat IPA, right?
- No, man, I had Cognac, that yak.
You know, who we really are in that corporate world.
- Just like my role model, platinum wifey status,
Michelle Obama likes to say, when they go low,
it's cute to take the stairs.
- Tracey is definitely more of that turn-up queen
that we all have in our group.
- And look at that skyline, yes, it's so beautiful.
It's breath-taking.
I need to go twerk in front of this
and record myself, I'll be right back.
Tracey is fun, Tracey is impatient.
Like, she ain't got no patience for the bullshit.
Hey, Atlanta, you missed me, you missed me?
I ain't go nowhere but I'm back, fuck these hoes.
- She's about her image, and we've seen
a lot of that nowadays on social media
and she represents a part of that.
- Oh, you all want to see me hit the chips.
(chips crunching)
Ah, ah, ah, ah, fuck, fuck, this is hot!
This is hot.
(sighs)
- The show is very open
about the different perspectives of dating.
- Trying to have an adult relationship in your 30s
and looking at friends who have babies
and are married and own houses.
And you see it happen all around you
and you're like, why am I failing at my life?
- Nice, right?
- Yes. - All right.
- No.
No.
- I'm in my early 30s
and this is not what I thought it would be.
It's tough.
- Years ago, when you were in your 30s,
it was like, you have a house, you're married,
you have two kids, you got a car,
you're very deep into your career, and your life is so set.
And now just the way we have so much information
about how other people live,
you can just do whatever you want.
- I heard that.
- I got this.
I'll be good.
- She grown.
All right, girl, do you.
- Veronica, can I borrow some money?
- It reminded me that it's okay
to not be exactly where I'm supposed to be.
- It's a real life journey
trying to evolve into your best self.
- We'd rather invest somebody with less followers
but consistent posts and high engagement.
- That's like a job.
- You'll love Bigger if you love sexiness.
- Beautiful black people, comedy.
- If you like to laugh.
- If
you are
lost.
- You'll love this show if you like funny black shit.
- Where you dance at?
- Nigga, I'm a doctor.
- Make sure you watch Bigger.
- Streaming soon.
- On the all new BET+.
- I'm on the show, please watch it.
So I can pay my rent.
