MTV Remote Control Blog › Rob And Big

The year was 2008, and we had just found out that Christopher “Big Black” Boykin (of MTV's hit series, "Rob & Big") was leading a double life. Apparently, when he wasn't keeping company (i.e., causing trouble) with his best friend and partner in odd crimes, Rob Dyrdek, he was taking care of a wife and newborn. And because that's a pretty important gig with all types of grown-up responsibilities, Big decided to part ways with Rob and his sandbox. It was a sad time, and we all cried boo, but something in us stayed positive...something in us knew that Black would one day be back. Or, at least, that's what we're claiming now, because hella-lujah, people: It's all happening!

We're overjoyed to announce that MTV and Rob are welcoming Mr. Big back into the fold for a fourth season of "Fantasy Factory." Some special yet-to-be-seen moments include Big Black designing a line of skinny jeans, Rob and Big fronting a death metal band called The Bleeding Frogs and the whole cast invading Mardi Gras to rebuild a skate plaza and ride a custom-made float.

Oh, and Justin Bieber will be making an appearance, in case you care about that sorta thing.

Make sure to tune in for the "Fantasy Factory" premiere on Monday, April 4 at 10:30/9:30c, and in the meantime, check out a brand-new sneak peek and catch up on the good ole days with some Rob & Big Season 1 highlights!

I'm sad to report that Meaty will be taking an indefinite vacay from writing his weekly reports. It's not just that Rob and Big is over for the season -- Meaty is devastated his uncle Big has moved out of the house and can do nothing but sleep, scowl, and mope. In other words, not much has changed... Meaty is just milking this breakup for all it's worth.

What up dawgs? So now you know Big's secret -- not only does he have a girlfriend (who isn't Rob), but he has a baby. I think it's kinda messed up Big waited 'til the kid was almost cooked before he shared the news, but she turned out pretty cute. I'm happy for him, I guess -- technically I'm Rob's bitch, and it was time for Big to get his own. Thing is, ever since the fay boy packed up, Rob's been slobbering all over me. I miss my "me" time. So, I'm planning a stealth runaway mission. After I dose Rob's Monster drink tonight, I'm outta here for a week or so. Don't worry: I'll leave a note saying I just needed some space and I'll be back after I've sowed some oats. Some things, like taking a road trip and trying Peyote for the first time, you gotta do without your dad.

On tonight's Rob and Big, poor Meaty got caught in a headlock by his tweaked out dad... He's since gained his composure and is ready to tell his side of the story...

See that pretty young thing below? That's what happens to a dude when his dad is bored. I swear, one minute we were playing catch, the next he's massaging my jowls and turning me inside out. And Big, like he's ever any help. He fetches for Rob better than I do.

Just once I'd like to see how those guys would handle a day in the life of Meaty. What if they didn't have all their big toys to play with, forced to survive on just a tennis ball? Such is my life, but I guess I shouldn't complain... While the guys were away in Cancun, I spent all the emergency money on kitty porn and wine coolers.

This week's special message from Meaty the dog:

Grams and Gramps came to town this week, which meant that Master Rob kind of forgot I existed. Guess he'd been starved for attention (we do have a one-sided relationship at times).

I know I sometimes act out -- poop on the oriental, refuse to exercise, rub up against stray ladies -- but Rob has been the real animal lately, driving like O.J. on the freeway and causing Grandma Pat to cry. Though c'mon, she's pretty damn gullible for thinking Rob was going to jail for being a sticker vandal. Anyway, April F-in Fools, suckas!

It was cool and all to have visitors, but I'm kinda glad they're gone now. I was feeling awkward around Aunt Denise (I caught her swiping some of my food late night) and Gramps kept farting when no one was around... except for me, of course. You people have no shame.

A special message from Meaty the dog:

My Super Sweet 14th Birthday Party at Sky Bark was da bomb. Everyone who's anyone was there, including Dick Van Patton, the dad from Eight Is Enough who now makes my food (to be honest, I like the taste of Mini Horse doo-doo much better).

Don't tell Rob, but when he was putting the birthday candles on my cake, I snuck off to bone that cocker spaniel with the cute ass (you know the one... pink bow, seductive stare). Don't worry, she's on the pill.

Rob is the man (literally, I'm the dog) for throwing me such a rager. I really hope those poodles got home OK... talk about sloppy drunks.

Hope to see you next year at my 21st. Dude, I'm almost legal.
