Hey guys, hanging out in the Young Hollywood studio with Miles Brown and we're about to play a very fun game called About That Gram. Because you love to wish people happy birthday.
Oh yeah. On your Instagram. Oh, definitely. Yeah, I love doing that.
Well, we got to talk about the first photo here. You and Millie Bobby Brown. So cool. So how did you come about meeting her and Maddie, it looks like?
Oof. Okay. Yeah. Well, I mean, I've been friends with Maddie actually ever since I was like, six years old because of dancing for. Yeah. I think I met Millie at a, uh, at a SAG event, SAG, one of the SAG Awards. Okay. Uh, the after party, I think I've met her there. And then we, we went to like this Katsui or something like that. And then, um,
Oh, the restaurant, right?
Yeah, the yeah, the restaurant. And uh, yeah, we're just hanging out and uh, we had dinner. Yeah, it was super fun. Yeah, I know, right? I know, right? Just hanging out with Millie Bobby Brown. It was her birthday that day. So cool night.
See, it's perfect. Let's let's see the next one here. We've got oh. Oh. Oh, Oprah. Oh yeah. What the heck? Oh Oprah. Okay. Tell me about this.
Okay. This picture, this picture by the way, was not supposed to happen. This was the craziest thing that happened because I was at the NAACP Awards, Blackish was nominated and she, you know, she's, she's up in the front row. Oh yeah. I'm, I'm a few rows back, right? And like during the commercial breaks, me and Marsai, 'cause you know, we're like the kids in the in the whole place. So we're like every commercial break, we're trying to look out for all the celebrities, you know? All the cool people, trying to get pictures of everybody. And then we see Oprah and they're like pushing us back because they're about to go back. I'm like, no. There's no way I'm not getting a picture with Oprah. And yeah, it was just really awesome.
That is pretty cool. Let's check out the next one here. We've got Oh. Michelle and Barack Obama. Yes. Michelle. You're just hanging out with What are you here? Michelle Obama. This is at the White House. You're just hanging out at the White House.
Yeah. I mean. And by the way, the White House is so big. I was like, what the heck? Yeah, as you can tell, my eyes are like as big as the ocean right now. Like I am so happy.
Barack looks really happy too. He's got his hand on your shoulder.
I know he's got his hand on my shoulder. And then I bet he watches the show. He looks like a big fan. And about that, when we were first there and I got to shake hands with him and everything like that. He showed to me that he was an actual fan of the show because he told me that him and Michelle and the and the kids watch the show all the time. And they were quoting lines from certain episodes. I was like, I can't believe the President watches our show. Like that's just super crazy.
That is amazing. Like that would make my day. We got to talk about this one. I don't know how we're gonna top it, but we got some other great ones too.
Oh yeah, definitely. This is, this is my favorite person in the world. This is LeBron James. Yes. This is, I think the second time I've ever met him, but the first time I just, you know, just asked him for a picture. I was like super young. I was like, walking down, I tapped him on the shoulder, super nervous, right? Sweating, sweating, right? I'm super nervous and then I tap him on the shoulder, he turned around and he says, yo, what's up, Miles?
Okay. He knew your name, he just knew who you were.
Okay. So this part, I go off, right? This part, I, it was the awkwardest part I've ever had with a celebrity because I was just standing still just like star struck, just looking at him that he said my name for like 10 seconds. He's all confused like, are you okay? And um, that was probably the coolest moment I've ever had with a celebrity and then that was at the NBA finals.
Okay, next one here. Oh man, oh man. We've got Drake.
Oh man, Drake, Drake, Drake, Drake. This was at the NBA Awards, he was hosting. And uh, Good Morning America had me do like, the Junior NBA type thing where I get to interview some of the people on the red carpet. And by the way, he follows me on Instagram now, which is super lit. Yes. Thank you, Drake. Yeah, super lit, right? And um, if you look closely on my jacket, I have a little Drake pin. I have, I have a face of Drake as a pin on my jacket. And I've got, I've had it for like a year before that and I just never wore it. And I knew he was gonna be there and I wore it and he said, yo, I like your Drake pin. And I was like, it's cool, right? Like, don't you like my Drake pin? I mean, you're Drake, right?
All right, next one here. We've got Oh yeah. Beyonce.
Beyonce, the queen. The queen and her daughter. The queen. Yes. That was NBA All-Star weekend in New Orleans last two years ago. I went up during halftime and um, I got to take a picture and I was speechless. Like, I don't think you have a picture, but John Legend and Denzel Washington share the same birthday as you. And then, so there's some sort of connection here. Can you tell me about that?
Yeah. Yeah. John Legend released his first album on the day I was born, which is his birthday as well. That means something. I know, right? And to go even further, he just named his new son, Miles. This means something. And my name is Miles, right? So like, I, I don't know if he named his son after me. You should just DM him on Instagram and ask if you like my name, just at me. I'm like, dude, can I get some copyright? Like, on this, like, dude, it's my name. You just took the rights to my name, dude.
Well, it's my birthday today. So we're gonna have to go and take a selfie later.
It is?
It's my birthday.
Happy birthday! Everybody clap! Oh, you're the perfect person to be with on my birthday. We gotta get a selfie just for good luck.
Yes. Yes, we we definitely got to get a selfie. Thanks so much. Thanks for playing the game, About That Gram.
Yes.
