  • The Cultural Arts Center is a place

  • where everybody comes together in the community.

  • Wow!

  • Beautiful!

  • The goal is for us to be able to feed the community two days

  • a week for free.

  • What if-- food trailer?

  • It can go anywhere and serve the community at large.

  • Wow!

  • I'm John.

  • And I'm Anthony.

  • We're design and construction experts.

  • Ellen sent us on a mission to help extraordinary people

  • doing amazing things in their community--

  • This is so sweet that you do this.

  • You go back to high school.

  • And you help with an after-school program

  • to help kids.

  • --and then pay it forward with some incredible renovations

  • and life-changing surprises.

  • Oh, my goodness!

  • This is The Build Up.

  • We've been helping Baltimore's Downtown Cultural Arts

  • Center, where it's been owner Renny's dream to be

  • able to feed the community.

  • And it's finally time to make that dream a reality.

  • Guys, why don't you turn around right here.

  • What?

  • What?

  • Goodness!

  • Oh, man!

  • Wow!

  • That is bananas!

  • You wanted to be able to serve more

  • than just this immediate area.

  • Yes.

  • This, you can tow.

  • You can show up at street fairs.

  • And you can get the word out about the Downtown Cultural

  • Arts Center and serve the entire community.

  • Wow!

  • Wow!

  • To have a healthy kitchen for us to be able to feed the people,

  • I've been dreaming this 20 years-plus.

  • John, and Anthony, and Ellen made it come true.

  • The Ellen Show!

  • We are so, so very grateful.

  • We put that dream on wheels.

  • We've got a brand new food trailer.

  • But you're going to need something

  • to tow it with, right?

  • Oh, my goodness, cut it out!

  • What?

  • Your all-new Chevy Silverado!

  • Oh, my God!

  • Oh, my goodness!

  • Oh!

  • Woo!

  • Oh, my goodness.

  • Oh, my goodness.

  • I feel great for giving back to Renny and Carmen

  • because they did so much for us.

  • They deserve everything they have here.

  • What you guys do inspires us.

  • We want you to be able to tow this everywhere

  • around the city.

  • So it's nice and easy.

  • It has its own app.

  • It has a huge screens.

  • It's easy to tow.

  • You pull right up to it.

  • You take the food trailer all over Baltimore.

  • We will definitely make sure that we pay this forward,

  • that the people benefit from this.

  • Yes!

  • Thank you so very much.

  • And this will not stop here.

  • This will not stop here!

  • Today's the day we're going to perform at the Cultural Arts

  • Center.

  • The whole community's going be there.

  • Everybody who is helping us is going to be there.

  • And it's just going to be so amazing.

  • Seeing this space used in the exact way intended,

  • it felt so good.

  • It just felt like we made all the right decisions

  • for the community, for Baltimore.

  • The mayor came.

  • She was thrilled.

  • Oh, my god.

  • So what I want you all to know is that we've been watching.

  • This kind of work really helps put Baltimore on the map.

  • And it also helps our young people

  • to aspire to your greatness.

  • Thank you.

  • Thank you.

  • Thank you.

  • Thank you.

  • Thank you so much!

  • Seeing the mayor come to the Cultural Center Arts Center

  • just means the world to me.

  • It was just, like, wow, this is amazing.

  • [MUSIC - MACKELMORE - "CAN'T HOLD US"]

  • Without further ado, in the new space,

  • The Downtown Cultural Arts Center Courtyard,

  • Timothy and Malik, let's give it up for them, y'all!

  • To see them in front of the entire community,

  • and everybody cheering them on, I

  • couldn't be more proud of them.

  • Return of the Mac, what it is, what it does, what it is,

  • what it isn't.

  • Looking for a better way to get up out of bed

  • instead of getting on the internet and checking

  • hit again.

  • Stay on my craft.

  • And stick around for those pounds.

  • But I do that to pass the torch and put on for my town.

  • And then we go back.

  • They've taken things to another level.

  • And now, they have their own style.

  • And that makes me feel great.

  • --like the ceiling can't hold us!

  • Now, can I kick it?

  • Thank you.

  • Yeah, I'm so damned grateful.

  • I grew up really wanting gold fronts.

  • But that's what you get when Wu-Tang raised you.

  • Why, time to go off.

  • Gone.

  • Deuces, goodbye.

  • I've got a world to see.

  • They wanted to bring the entire community together.

  • And they totally nailed it.

  • This is our moment.

  • Tonight is the night.

  • We're going to fight 'til it's over.

  • So we put our hands up like the ceiling can't hold us,

  • like the ceiling can't hold us.

  • These boys are fire.

  • Yo, they looked great up on the stage, their performance.

  • Everything was beautiful.

  • I've never seen somebody throw a drumstick off the wall and--

  • And catch it!

  • And then play the drums again!

  • And then upside down.

  • Upside down!

  • The drum--

  • That was amazing.

  • It's great to see Timothy and Malik perform,

  • and to see the community come together around them.

  • And I think, for the Cultural Arts Center,

  • it's going to bring a lot exposure

  • to show what the city, Baltimore City, has to offer.

  • It could not have been a better end to an absolutely incredible

  • project.

  • I wanted to say thank you to everybody that's

  • been on the journey with us.

  • It's not--

  • It's not over.

  • It's not over.

  • It's only the beginning.

  • And we're going to definitely continue

  • to work hard, keep moving forward.

  • This is how the cousins always say.

  • Love you.

  • Cheers, man.

  • Love you.

  • Love you.

  • You just keep paying it forward, man.

  • I'm so happy for everybody that came into our lives,

  • and helped changed it, and made it a better place for us,

  • and helped made it better for everybody else.

  • Awesome work.

  • Awesome work, bud.

  • Love you.

  • Love you, buddy.

  • To the future!

  • To the future!

  • Yeah!
