Roadie Mack, spelled RoadieMack and sometimes Rodie Mac, is a Chicago player whose public record is a run of YouTube interviews. The Real Gully TV has filmed him several times since about 2014. It bills him as "Chicago's finest," a "famous player," an "international player" and the self-proclaimed "King of the Super Bowl." Those segments cover a New York pimping landmark and the history of Hollywood Boulevard. In a 2022 interview with the Digital Soapbox Network he describes more than thirty years "in the game, in the USA and overseas" and talks about friends he lost to AIDS in the 1980s.

The overseas part explains the second name. A music video credited to "Tokyo Roadie Mack," titled "Worldwide Player," was posted about 2018, and he is also called Tokyo Mac. That makes him one of the few players in this archive whose reputation is tied to Asia, alongside Young Dope Man, whose Pimp College videos include updates from Pattaya and Bangkok.

The two men disagree about which of them went international first. It is an open argument, not a settled fact. In December 2022 Roadie Mack sat for a nearly hour-long interview on P Perspective, titled "RoadieMack sets the record straight about being knocked by DopeMan." Young Dope Man tells it the other way. This archive does not rule on it. The dates each man gives for his first trip abroad are claims until a dated video, passport stamp or press item settles them.
