Sometimes the answer is yes.
But there's a company dedicated to
a future where the answer will always be no.

I get right back there and it's bad.

Last year, a lot of the problems of the drug war. This year, a lot of the biggest names in music and sports.
This kind of starts that a little bit, man.
We met them at their homes.
We met them at their recording studios.
Stories matter, and it brings a face to them.
It makes it real.
It really does.
It makes it real.

on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your host. My name is DJ Wells. Joining us this morning are my two brothers to my left, Bishop Henders to my right, my brother T.
Fellas, good morning. How y'all doing? What's happening, brother?
Chilling cool and nasty. Let's get
to it. It's almost that
time of the year. You know what I'm saying? We got the Christmas
set up for the pie dropping today. The production
team going crazy. We got up here for the morning show
as well. So you got some more
heat over there, young Nacho. What you got up there?
Hold on a minute. This is the first shoe
I wore in college.
Okay.
First college shoe right there.
I don't know why I kept them, but my mom gave them to me the other day.
So I thought I'd just bring them here.
Dang, Mama T kept those for nothing making.
Yeah, she kept them.
Which one is this?
What is this?
I don't even know.
Just some team.
Yeah, some Wake Forest shoes.
You know what's crazy? I know they still kind of do it to an extent, but back in the days, people were really used It was just some team shoes. Team shoes. Yeah, some Wake Forest shoes. You know, it's crazy.
I know they still kind of do it to an extent,
but back in the day,
people were really used to having to wear team shoes.
Yeah, they did.
Matter of fact,
I think I'm about to go back to that.
Oh, okay.
Lord Jesus.
T. Bickerstaff.
I think everybody need to get back on the same page.
Damn, David Stern.
One band, one sound.
For real, though.
Do y'all think that works? Do you think that unity
situation actually helps in the locker room? Or was it just
a temporary thing just to catch everybody's
attention? We had to because we was poor in my school.
I don't know if it would help
or not. I ain't going to say it helped.
I mean, because some people's shoes don't feel good
to certain people. So that's the biggest thing.
I just want you to be comfortable when you're playing.
But I think the color. You should that's the biggest thing. I just want you to be comfortable when you're playing. But I think the color.
You should all wear the same color.
Okay.
Like when people be having green
and pink shoes,
I'd be like,
that's wild.
You got to be cold to do shit like that.
That's like in soccer.
If you got the elite cleats on,
you have to be elite, bro.
You can't be wearing the OD cleats
and you riding upon.
Yeah, I think it's OD.
But I mean,
I let people express themselves
how they want.
For sure.
Shout out to Coach Teague, man.
Hey, man. Joker still going crazy. Had his ninth
triple-double of the season. Got the OT
win over the Pills, 132-129.
Joker, 27-13-10.
Jamal Murray been waking up, man. 27-8-4.
Westbrook, 21-5-5.
CJ McCollum, 24-9.
And one of my favorite sophomores, Jordan Hawkins,
25-piece, man. Listen,
is it already Joker's MVP to lose
or is somebody in the race that's a little bit higher right now?
It's his to lose, bro.
It's his to lose?
Shout out to Jamal Murray, though, for coming back, man.
Joker needed you, nasty.
Freaky Ma.
Yeah, he's starting to make a return.
When that dynamic duo get to going,
that's when Denver Nuggets become a player in the West.
I think if they get Nick Groove,
they still got enough capable pieces to make a run
at it, but
I still think they need to make that trade
to get another win.
I agree, because listen, I mean, yes, it was a good win
yesterday, but you had to go to OT to beat a 5-25
Pelicans team.
You know what I'm saying? We know you was killed, but...
Missing two stars.
Missing everybody in that ball. So, you know what I'm saying? We know Yoko's killed, but... Missing two stars. Missing everybody
in that ball.
Yeah.
So,
I mean,
Yoko's just playing
at a all-time level.
I mean,
he does this every year,
but
they need more.
Yeah.
They do.
For sure.
A couple names
we talked about last episode,
but Zach LaVine,
y'all feel a little bit
more confident
in that name pulling up?
Nah.
Still ain't going for that one?
Nah, that's not the one I think they need.
We know you, Cam Johnson.
Yeah, I'm not even, like, people always like,
why you always putting Cam Johnson?
I'm like, I don't even know him.
I just recognize good basketball players that fit.
Talk your shit.
It's like, he just fit that team.
Mm-hmm.
We have been saying, we've said Cam.M. Johnson every day on this bitch.
He fit every team need, though.
Yeah.
He plays basketball at the weight you need to get to.
He's Contavious Caldwell Pope on steroids.
Like, KCP is good, but KCP ain't never the average in getting 28, 30 back-to-back nights.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
He's a good player, but Cam Johnson is like,
he's a hell of a wing.
Especially on the contract he's on.
So that's one thing
I think people are missing.
Like his,
you get Cam Johnson,
you can go get another player
as well to complete that roster.
His contract got great value.
And for what he's,
for his production,
I don't,
I ain't even,
I don't know him.
But shit,
at this point,
Cam Johnson, you need to fuck with me. Pause. Nah, tap in, bro. Yeah, yeah. I just drew know him, but shit, at this point, Cam Johnson, you need to fuck with me,
Paul. Nah, tap in, bro. We locked in. I'd do it in a jersey or something, but it's just the truth.
It just fits everybody we need right now. For sure. Listen, man, we talked about some help for
that team. If you go across the board and look for the Nuggets situation, what they need to do
to contend in the West, they definitely need another wing. But also, is there anything else
you think that team needs to do? A lot of people
are just like, hey, you got a great,
great player in his prime.
Don't waste this shit. I mean, they got
a championship, so I don't think it's a waste.
Okay.
I mean, shit. Everybody ain't going to win.
Only one team win a year.
Yeah, that's true, bro.
They still for, like,
I don't know.
They right there in the hunt. They fifth in the West. Like, I don't know. They right there in the hunt.
They fifth in the West.
Like, I don't think it's a waste.
Now, other side of this game, we talk about the Pelicans.
They have a lot of players that could help another team.
We talk about another possible moving around.
Who do you think the first person off the Pelicans is going to be going this?
You got CJ.
You got B.I.
You got Zion.
B.I.
B.I. first one gone?
Yeah.
I'm going to put in a call today because I don't know.
I missed the team call to the Christmas parties.
You missed the Pelicans Christmas party?
No, I missed the team call.
Oh, okay.
My bad, my bad.
The team FaceTime that we usually do.
So I think B.I.
Last time we talked, shout out to Jim over there.
Yeah, I don't know him, but that's my guy.
You the real Del Dips now.
Yeah, shout out to
my boy Jim Long, man.
You hear how he cuss
for about Del Dips.
But nah, B.I.
probably on the move
first, though.
Nah, I was gonna say,
did they ever let you
and Zion link up
on any of them calls?
Nah, me and Zion,
we'll link up after.
You know what I mean?
They both about to meet up
with Derrick Long.
Me, him, and Malcolm
go to a lure.
You, Malcolm, and Zion,
it's a crazy link up, man.
That's a vibe.
Drinks on Zion for sure.
Yeah, man.
They got a win yesterday.
Yoko's doing Yoko's things, man.
We ain't surprised at all.
You know what I'm saying?
Pacers took care of the Kings yesterday.
We scored 70 in the second half yesterday.
Built an ass situation.
Shout out to Siakam, 19-19.
Halliburton, 14-8.
The Fox had
23-75
man
listen
with the recent struggles
of the Kings
man we've been talking about it
should we be really
paying a lot of attention
to him possibly moving on
I know we talked about
a lot on the pod
some good
conversation for sure
but should we look into
that a little bit more now
since they're struggling
right now
I don't know
I just like it
that he ain't vocal about it
I think he just hooping I fuck. I think he just hooping.
I fuck with that.
Yeah, he just hooping, bro.
Doing what he can.
I mean, he had 23-7 yesterday,
and it ain't his fault why they not good right now at all.
I don't think I talked a lot about it on the pod.
I just...
I don't know.
I just have to watch the pod to understand how I feel about...
Great breakdown.
Yeah, people leaving cities and things like that.
But,
I mean,
they're struggling right now.
I just think that team,
they got a lot of the same players.
We say that every week.
Mm-hmm. And you starting to see, like,
they got a lot of
shooting guards.
For sure.
I want to talk about my patients
on the four-game winning streak.
I know Tyreason had
the craziest numbers yesterday,
but we beat the sleeves
off him yesterday.
Hey, we looking promising again.
We looking promising again. We back up.
We back up,
baby.
What are they?
Make the call.
What's wrong with you?
Yeah.
Eighth in the East.
Right.
Comfortable.
That's promising.
Listen,
we had three game win streak away from being up top,
baby.
We good money.
Now we have a hell of a week coming up.
We play a lot of contenders.
We will see tonight's win. You know what I'm saying?
That will kind of help me see where we're going to gauge at. But we play
some hitters next
two weeks. We play the Thunders.
Yeah, we play the Thunders. We play the Celtics.
Yeah, we got...
I mean, the Pacers, they always
are... Regular season?
Yeah, they always are in the pack team, though.
Like, every year since we were little kids, they always just been in the hunt. Borderline 500. Yeah, they always are in the pack team, though. Like, every year
since we were little kids,
they always just been
in the hunt.
Borderline 500.
Yeah, always in the hunt.
Even when I played
on the Pacers,
we were literally 500.
41 and 41.
Like, you always
in the hunt.
For sure.
And I think the difference
with this Pacers team is
watching the last
couple of games,
the energy's been different.
They've been playing
like they enjoy
playing basketball
with each other.
Most of the season you've seen,
especially with injuries and other stuff, they have not looked like a team
that like playing basketball, especially not with each
other. So we're getting a little bit of that chemistry back.
Again, we got to beat up some of these West Coast teams.
I told y'all, Moneyline Sons, y'all laughed at me.
B-Hen, Jeff, they told me I was crazy.
I want somebody to send money, man. I hope y'all tap in with your
boy, you feel me?
I ain't even been watching the players. Who been playing
well, though?
Realistically, you got Siakam.
He's Mr. Consistent.
Tyrese Halliburton has been on Tyrese Halliburton time,
especially these last six games.
He's been killing as well.
Getting people back, more importantly.
Ben Shepard came back.
We got Nimhar back.
We still looking for Nismith.
We were injured early, but our chemistry is trash.
But I think we'll be good the rest of the season.
We got a hell of a stretch, like we said, these next two weeks.
But man, the Kings,
they had high expectations
just like we did.
And man, I feel bad for them.
I feel bad for them
because they spent a lot of money
and they possibly be on the verge
of losing a superstar.
We don't know if it's going to happen or not,
but listen,
as somebody who has lost
his superstar from his team before,
it is not a good feeling
when you're in a small market
because people ain't running to Sacramento
just like they ain't running to Indiana.
But I think he got another year
on his deal, though.
I don't think he even
unrestricted free agent
after this.
I think he got one more year.
I think they were just trying
to get him an extension.
Yeah, but you know how that go.
Yeah.
They don't get locked in
by a certain time period
because it's looking like
this season's already
looking like a scratch.
If you ain't about to make
a crazy move,
you're going to have to do
what you got to do.
They okay rebuilding that Sacramento, bro.
That's all they know.
We'll get another one.
TJ McConnell be hooping, bro.
Hey, TJ Nash be killing it on me.
Maybe getting them FGAs, too.
Bro, and I don't get mad at it, either.
Because, honestly, just like last year,
our second unit was the best part of our team.
Our second unit kept us in games more than our first unit did.
And TJ Nash be killing. Caruso got paid our first unit did. Shout out to Caruso.
TJ Nash be killing.
Caruso got paid, too.
Yeah, shout out to Caruso.
Smooth bag, for sure.
I don't know why I brought him up when I seen a white dude.
That's crazy.
White point guards matter.
I was trying to figure out.
Oh, don't you just pop the butt in there?
All right, so who the best white point guard outside of J. Will?
Are we going pistol Pete or J. Will?
John Stockton is the best white point guard.
Okay.
I wouldn't expect you to go there, but stats don't lie.
I'll take Jason Kidd.
Jason Kidd is not a white man.
He ain't mixed.
Yes, but he not white.
Why is he black?
What?
What?
Did you see the play he drew up for somebody to run into him to get timeout?
That is some nigga shit.
That's a kid's a nigga.
Yeah, I'm going to go with Jerry West.
Y'all got it.
John Stockton.
Shit, Steve Nash.
I'm a Pistol P type name.
Oh, Steve Nash.
That's why I said Pistol.
I was surprised y'all said Pistol.
I like Pistol P.
No, go ahead.
Steve Nash, two-time MVP.
Sleep on Bob Cousy.
Oh, yeah, Bob Cousy had the lowest guy.
Damn, who's a nigga named Slater Martin?
He's probably silly.
He ain't in the top 10.
I'm taking Slater.
Nah, you're not going to take the money.
You don't even got to pitch her up, bro.
That's some bullshit.
That nigga played in 49.
Slater made the All-Star Game seven times to average nine.
Man, he played
during the Great Depression, bro. I'm not giving him no love,
bro. Don't people have these random people?
Give me Slater Morton. Now, that's crazy, bro.
Mark Price was nice, too, though.
Nah, for sure.
Yeah, Mark Price was nice, for sure.
Your son Dick is crazy.
That is, but that's wild, bro.
J. Will is probably the most exciting
McGuire to see.
That's crazy visually but
I don't know
white point guards
I don't know man
is this just white players period
because there's no reason
why Danny Angel on that list
oh Scott Skiles
crazy assist
damn that's a
that's a wild list
Danny Angel is probably
a top
this is just random facts
that I know
he's like
how you know it's a nigga league
top three
athletes of
ever
okay Danny Angel if you go look at his research bro he's crazy he made How do you know it's the nigga league? Top three athletes ever.
Okay.
Danny Ainge is.
If you go look at his research, bro, he was crazy.
He was All-American in football, All-American in baseball,
went pro in baseball, and then went to the league.
And what college did he go to?
BYU.
Yes, sir. Shout out to the AIL fund.
He helped get AJ for sure.
I didn't know Danny A A's resume was like that.
Yeah, it's crazy. I remember one time I was sitting there
talking to him when I was in Boston, and I'm like,
not knowing. I mean,
I know he played a bunch of sports, but I didn't know he was that
good at every sport. They like, what?
He was like the best at every
sport. What position did he play
in baseball? I can't remember.
But they were just talking about he was damn near better
in baseball than he was basketball.
He said he liked
playing basketball more.
But yeah,
he went to the league.
Blue Jays, that is?
Damn.
That was the Blue Jays?
I ain't surprised by that.
A lot of people
we knew grew up
was elite at baseball
and basketball,
but, you know,
they just chose some hoops.
And he was elite at football, too.
All-American quarterback,
I think.
Show some love to Danny Ainge, man.
That's crazy, though.
That's the reason why
him and Larry got along.
They made him look like
Napoleon.
Right there.
Taylor Chalk King.
He played third base
on the center field
and second base.
I've got social media
checking Danny Ainge,
but they work there.
Yeah, Napoleon, for sure.
You are praising him.
To do that, though,
he said he had got,
I remember he was telling me
he got the signing bonus,
he went there,
got it paid, then he went to the league. That's some different type of chicken. To do that, though, he said he had got, I remember he was telling me he got the signing bonus, he went there, got it paid,
then he went to the league.
That's some different type of chicken.
Yeah, like, you cold, bro.
Nah, he a league for sure, man.
Show some love to Danny Aja, man.
Underrated athlete for sure.
Rockets pick up a win yesterday,
114 to 110.
After Raptors, Dylan Brooks
went crazy with 27.
Jalen Green, 22 of seven.
Chicago, we walked to the rookies,
27th piece again, man.
19-9 and third in the West.
Be here.
You going to believe?
No.
Still ain't believing?
No.
But Jacoby got a clip.
Burner.
My Lord.
6-4, 11-3.
He's putting them FGAs up.
Where he go to school at, Jacoby Watson?
Let's pull that up.
I forgot offhand.
I don't want to disrespect the man lineage.
I'm just saying, like, that's, I don't know what pick he was
or whatever they did.
That's Greg Scouting.
Mm-hmm.
Shit.
You can pick him up.
That's good scouting.
20 years old.
Went to Baylor.
Greg Scouting.
That boy can shoot
that motherfucker.
I don't know too much about him.
I know he got a clip, though.
Speaking of Greg Scouting,
it's crazy because,
like you said,
he was in that row and you understand that, like, when you go of Greg Scouting, it's crazy because, like you said, he was in that row, and you understand that, like,
when you go to those games, you see those players.
And, like, sometimes, obviously, everybody going to be first round.
But where teams really win is when you actually have the real good scouting team
to see in the second round picks with some of the undrafted people
that even you can stash.
And sometimes you might be first round talent,
and they put you away because they don't want to pay you their bread off top
to build a roster.
That's how the good teams really stay good, bro.
Miami's the best at it.
They identify talent better than anybody. That's how the good teams really stay good, bro. Miami's the best at it. They identify talent
better than anybody.
That fit what they do.
Them and Boston.
Boston identifies talent,
but Boston's so top-heavy
that it's hard to see,
like, damn,
they found a gym.
Like, Memphis does a great job.
Memphis always finds
an under-the-radar player
and he comes out
and plays well.
OKC as well.
Yeah, OKC.
Yes. But Miami is the best. LikeC as well. Yeah, OKC. Yes.
But Miami is the best.
Like,
some of the guys like
Hayward,
was it,
how you say,
Highsmith,
whatever his name is?
Hayden Highsmith, yeah.
Yeah, like,
guys like him,
Duncan Robinson,
all these dudes
that were like
not really
highly touted
or high on NBA rosters.
They get them there
and all of a sudden
they become
big name players,
get big deals.
Go to other schools.
I mean, other teams
that make all this money
and don't ever play well again.
I'll give you Miami.
They took over
that San Antonio lineage.
For sure.
Because it was San Antonio
for the longest.
Yeah, San Antonio
drafted well.
They drafted well.
And that's so crazy
to talk about Duncan Robinson.
My man was really on LinkedIn.
Nigga, you are 6'9".
Go hoop. Where was you about to sit on, you are 6'9". Go hoop.
Where was you about
to sit on that desk,

In the fall of 1986, Ronald Reagan found himself at the center of a massive scandal
that looked like it might bring down his presidency.
Did you make a mistake in sending arms to Tehran, sir?
No.
It became known as the Iran-Contra affair.
And I'm not taking any more questions in just a second.
I'm going to ask Attorney General...
I'm Leon Nafok, co-creator of Slow Burn.
In my podcast, Fiasco, Iran Contra,
you'll hear all the unbelievable details of a scandal
that captivated the nation nearly 40 years ago,
but which few of us still remember today.
The things that happened were so bizarre and insane,
I can't begin to tell you.
Please do.
To hear the whole story,
listen to Fiasco,
Iran Contra,
on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts,
or wherever you get
your podcasts.
16th, it's crazy. 610 is crazy.
Yeah, that is.
But I mean, that's true though.
I mean, like you grow that size,
but it's like,
and then you don't make it.
So you got to work.
Sometimes you got to work.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, it don't be
because you really,
for real,
that's why I be feeling sorry
for kids that don't make
because all they know is hoop.
Niggas got to start learning
some trades or something
in between time.
Yeah.
If you're 610
and going to school, especially when we was going to school, like we didn't have no trades or learning in between time. Yeah. If you're 16 and going to school, especially when we was going to school,
like, we didn't have no trades or learning about anything else.
It was school and hoop or nothing.
You know what I mean?
A lot of times it wasn't even school, shit.
Just hoops, hoop or nothing.
That's a great question because, like, me being my size falls,
but it's like I could go do something normal and it just,
I might not get asked
one question.
I can go work
at a desk job
or wherever it is.
Yeah.
And nobody asks me nothing,
but you seven foot.
Yeah, bro.
And you like,
they like, what happened?
Like, you didn't make it?
That's the first thing
people say is what happened.
They don't even ask
what your name is.
What happened?
Did you?
Why didn't you who, my man?
Yeah, you know what I mean?
Did you make it in college?
Like, I played college,
but like, it don't matter.
Even big, tall girls
don't get asked that.
Nah, be careful.
Be careful.
I'm just saying,
this is a big motherfucker
that work at AT&T, too.
Anybody ever ask her if she hoop?
This is a big, tall bitch
that somebody probably
trying to deal with.
Everybody ask her
if she play volleyball.
Yeah, but that's a weak question.
If you ask a big girl,
you damn near flirting, bro. That probably ain't really bothering question. If you ask a big girl, you damn near flirting, bro.
That probably ain't really bothering her.
When you ask a big nigga that's,
I don't care,
with a regular job,
like, bro, why ain't you home?
Well, that's better than asking.
You're kind of offending him.
Yeah, you are.
Damn near gonna say,
I ain't like basketball.
Yeah.
Low key.
But my dad just told.
I got hurt.
Yeah, you gotta say something like that.
But if you ask a nigga,
hey, you told me you just play volleyball,
he might swing on you.
Because everybody not chase Budinger, bro.
Maybe a disrespect.
Is that a professional sport for men?
Yeah, hell yeah.
Olympics, they do.
Oh, okay.
I thought you could play every day.
I don't know about the volleyball league,
excuse me,
but I know they got working on something.
They get paid for it.
Damn.
I'd be mad if I was that tall.
Like, if I'm that,
you have to go be a basketball coach.
Yeah.
If you're 7 foot, you gotta go be a basketball coach.
Because you can't even be a gym teacher.
You can't.
You gotta go straight to whoever
the closest league near you
that to. Disguise that
a little bit. Yeah, I used to
play. I still coach over at...
I got hurt. Yeah, that's always cool. You gotta go lock up. I play in some Mexico league, you know what I'm saying? Get you a little bit. Yeah, I used to play. I still coach over at... I got hurt.
Yeah, that's always cool.
You got to go log up.
I play in some Mexico league,
you know what I'm saying? Get you a little fake jersey.
That's what I got.
I would not have a regular job.
I'd be that slim thug.
You going to wrap it?
Grab the thing.
I'd be on the block.
You can't be on the block. You're too tall. Niggas going to shoot you a mile away. Niggas make a way. I'd be w the block you can't be on the block
you too tall
niggas gonna shoot you
a mile away
niggas make a way
I'll be walka-flocka
this motherfucker
ain't no way
I'm gonna get a regular job
to the Rockets man
how y'all feel about
this young team
you think they can make
some noise in the playoffs
or you think they just
too young
them young niggas
okay
yeah I think they
I think they got the ability
to make some noise.
I don't know what's noise to them, though.
Like, winning a first-round series, is that noise?
Or going to the championship.
So, if they happy with winning a first-round playoff game,
I think they could do that.
I mean, first round, I think they could do that.
Making it to the conference finals would be, like, overachieving.
Hell yeah.
Overachieving.
But make it to the second round, I think that'll be good for them.
For that startup Rockets team.
For sure.
Like you said, them getting to the playoffs is already elite.
Having some home games.
They win a playoff season, it's a hell of a season for them.
Yeah, yeah.
We get to the conference finals, you maxed out.
You did not expect to be there.
And I think that's too high of expectations.
Because for that following year, they make it to the conference finals this year.
That following year is going to be a disaster.
Yeah.
Season tickets are going
to be lit.
But boy,
they may be having
some headaches down there
in H-Town for sure.
Yeah.
They just proud to be winning, bro.
Get the city back lit again, man.
They've been lit in a while.
Yeah, since James Harden left.
Yeah.
It's been a while.
How smooth are they winning?
That's cool.
For sure, man.
A lot of games today.
I want to see how y'all feel.
Celtics at Magic.
Before we even get to the prediction for this,
I don't know what's going on down there in Orlando.
Get well soon to everybody, bro.
Everybody who produces on this team gets hurt, man.
It's crazy.
The Magic had a hell of a season playing.
I don't know how it's going to end for them,
but damn, everybody keep getting hurt down there, man.
Damn, yeah.
Mo Wagner got hurt.
ACL.
Man. Sorry to hear that. But I do. Mo Wagner got hurt. ACL. Man.
Sorry to hear that.
But I do want to give a shout out to Cole Anthony.
Hooping.
Dog, he got his opportunity.
He was going through a lot not playing up and down.
Mm-hmm.
Used to be a starter, sixth man.
Then he went to not playing at all to get an opportunity to hoop.
And he took the moment.
Went crazy in the fourth quarter the other day.
And it's just a testament
to the work that he's been putting in. Because even when he
came here, he hit us up to use the gym
to get some extra shots up
on an off day for them.
And it's like, damn. He cared.
He already got paid some money.
But the fact that he still put in work,
trying to get better so he can be ready for a number
call, it's an opportunity.
And to see him make the most of it was pretty cool.
For sure, man.
30-piece, you know what I'm saying?
Getting back into the rotation.
Shout out to Cole Anthony.
We all was mad at Cole Anthony for dunking in them teams in a dunk contest.
But other than that, bro, Cole Anthony been in the league since he was a kid.
It was wild for him.
Yeah, that's crazy.
I don't know what's worse, that or the Jericho Sims.
I'm still going to Jericho Sims, bro.
Him holding that piece of shit sign up after that week-ass dunk still pisses me off to this day, bro.
Yeah, I don't even
remember his dunks.
Oh, bro, he held up
that 50-piece
after he did the most
basic dunk in the world
and everybody was just like,
fuck Jericho Sims
after that, bro.
He got so much bounce, though.
Jericho Sims.
Oh, I know who that is.
Yeah, from New York.
Crazy bounce.
Yeah, crazy.
All right, Celtics Magic,

I know a lot of cops, and they get asked all the time,
have you ever had to shoot your gun?
Sometimes the answer is yes.
But there's a company dedicated to a future where the answer will always be no.
Across the country, cops called this taser the revolution.
But not everyone was convinced it was that simple.
Cops believed everything that taser told them.

but which few of us still remember today.
The things that happened were so bizarre and insane,
I can't begin to tell you.
Please do.
To hear the whole story,
listen to Fiasco,
Iran Contra,
on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts,
or wherever you get
your podcasts.
Do y'all feel a ways
about that,
or is it a fear
because the coaches
do the same shit?
It's just more publicized now.
It's been that way, though.
Niggas knew what they was going for.
They like, after this tournament,
after this NCAA tournament, I'm sliding, bro.
But you don't think it's been even worse with the portal now?
Because boys is hopping in the portal like,
all right, listen, season's over.
It's easier now,
but I'm talking about like the thought process.
It's always like, shit, when you getting,
when you play, I ain't play no college sport,
but I'm sure like,
if you having a rough time with your team, you already been on phone calls trying to get out of there but even
some of these situations you got like starters like quarterbacks and shit that you know i'm
saying they had decent seasons whatever they season ain't over they're like yeah i got one
more game i'm out this motherfucker ain't no way you playing your hardest bro in this situation
if you about to dip out nah it's it's it's janky i ain't gonna lie it's janky like you you take you stealing my player
basically yeah i done built him up and rightfully so he playing well or whatever he probably deserve
a payday since everybody get paid but damn i ain't gonna get his all like you said like he
worrying about not getting hurt because the payday on the way. Yes, Ersky. As soon as this game is over, my NIL sign,
I need to advance.
It should be a rule
that you can't,
you know,
you should get in trouble
if you start reaching out
to different teams
or something
before the season is over
at least.
That's my thing.
At least after your last game,
go ahead and say it, bro.
But I think before,
but to be fair,
these coaches do the same shit
and they've been doing it too.
So, listen,
if the coaches can dip on the job
or leave these kids stuck in the situation, bro,
the game's the game, bro.
You got the means to keep me.
Just pay me if you really like me that much.
Nah, I mean, I get it.
I mean, coaches did.
I mean, coaches made money previous years when players couldn't.
Coaches get to leave when they want.
But no.
You leaving for a better opportunity most of the time.
Yeah, so I get it.
But also coaches get fired.
Yeah.
Straight up.
So that's different.
They get fired and players still get to stay and get their four years.
So or whatever.
That's the big difference.
Yeah.
It's the livelihood of this shit.
So I get it, though.
For sure.
This is too smooth for you to just to if I'm at Michigan and I'm doing my thing,
I'm talking to Ohio State
third game into the season,
bro,
we wilder.
But you can.
I was killing, bro.
It's like,
somebody got to say something
If you go to Michigan,
you definitely ain't going
to Ohio State.
Yeah, you do something like that,
you better play the game.
I know what I'm saying,
but you definitely,
you definitely might die.
They might John Wilkes
move your ass
and you pull up
transfer like that bro
you gonna be like
they gonna put something
in your food

Light day at the office with Joker, but still elite, man.
I'm going to show some love to Olivia Miles up there in Notre Dame, man. Please play the clip. She cold, man. 27-13-10. Light day at the office of Joker, but it's still elite, man. I'm going to show some love to Olivia Miles
up there in Notre Dame, man. Please play the clip.
She cold, though. Elite.
She almost entered this young girl's career.
Okay, we don't have the clip, but if you have seen it,
she almost severed a young woman's
knee yesterday off a simple snatch.
It was vicious yesterday. Keep hooping up there
for sure. But you got to...
I'm going to go with my dog, man. They don't ever give my mans
no love. Defending champ,. I'm going to go with my dog, man. They don't ever give my mans no love.
Defending champ, Jason Tatum.
Went crazy with a triple-double.
I didn't know you could get 10 assists nasty.
I ain't going to lie to you.
Because when I was on your team, you ain't passed for shit.
But 43-16-10, I'm proud of you.
Boy, it's getting better every year.
I mean, what do you call a superstar that's getting better?
That might be his career high, sis.
Come on, man.
Yeah.
I think that is his career high in assists.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
That was a hell of a sacrifice, JT.
I fuck with you for that.
I know he had 43 or 50 points.
Yeah.
Definitely.
He would have took three assists.
Yeah.
He just shaved three assists off of that 50 feet.
It wasn't three assists.
It wouldn't have mattered.
For sure. Shout out to him, man.
Hey, man, listen.
I love the rules we have on this show because 16 rebounds is crazy.
Yeah, fair.
And you're not a big bro.
You was out there playing basketball hard as fuck.
But you know what's so crazy?
I think that's underrated about his game, though.
No funny shit.
He rebounded at a high level, bro.
Nigga, 6'10".
But I'm saying he really be crashing the board, though.
Nah, he do.
But the B6'10", it's so funny because you got, like,
guys, you know,
we see high school kids
and all of them.
We be like, damn,
boy, 610,
boy, he gonna be good.
Then you see Jason Taylor,
he like, damn,
this motherfucker 610.
This what 610 look like now?
I just be confused
when somebody like that
can rebound,
but somebody that actually
plays down low
can't even average 10 rebounds.
I always be confused about that when it comes to NBA players.
Because, you know, when you're a guard,
three people are supposed to get back defensively.
So usually a point guard, two wings, they get back.
And then the bigs are battling for position, trying to box out and stuff.
So usually a small forwards or whoever, they come in and swoop up the rebound.
Unless you just got an animal on the defensive glass
or offensive glass that's a big, that's what I do.
Ben Wallace type dude, I get boards.
Most of the time, small forwards are going to average
six, seven rebounds.
I'd be like, damn, man, you are a par four.
We only getting seven, eight rebounds out of you?
Yeah.
But when you break it down like that, I guess it makes sense.
I guess, yeah, I'm here boxing out and niggas don't pay attention to that.
Yeah, I'm boxing out.
He comes swooping.
It's damn right like a screener.
Like you said, it'd be by team design.
Because if you ever look at the bigs who don't have a lot of rebounds,
just go look at that roster and see how many they guards get.
So you can probably tell us.
I know Brook Lopez be boxing out.
Hey, Brook Lopez.
Giannis go get him.
I was going to say, Giannis be pushing niggas out the way to get the rebounds, bro.
I'm saying Brook Lopez really be.
He's one of the ones that I see actually doing this.
Like Steven Adams.
Steven Adams used to box out everybody.
And then Russ Booker come swooping and grab the board.
True.
Yeah, man.
We got to start looking at some of them stats too, like they did John Stockton.
Some of them rebounds where you tapped it to the person.
No, that's your rebound, bro.
Quit trying to pad their stats, bro.
I only appreciate it when we on DraftKings. Other than that, bro, it's not your reboundounds where you tapped it to the person. No, that's your rebound, bro. Quit trying to pad their stats, bro. I only appreciate it
when we on DraftKings.
Other than that, bro,
it's not your rebound, bro.
It's still crazy
that that man told him
John Stockton liked it.
Yeah, he did.
I know John was pissed.
It was after the COVID stuff, bro.
I be chilling, bro.
I be still walking around my city
and don't nobody bother me.
Nah, you ain't get a COVID shot?
Hey, we cheated for this nigga.
They dropped a dime on him.
I be pissed. And Roderick's still talking about the COVID shit, bro. It ain't ever over for a dime on him. I'll be finished.
And Rodgers still talking about the COVID shit, bro.
It ain't ever over for a lot of people.
I ain't going to lie.
Back in the day,
and shout out to all my youngest
that used to play at HAL.
But them stats at the end of them games.
Oh, my God, bro.
Shout out to PJ.
Nah.

Larry Stone.
His stats used to be like,

One time he had 18 steals.
I said,

12 assists

They all was averaging 26 a game.
I was going to howl, bro.
Terry kept a dub.
I was going to howl, bro.
I said, all my niggas is going to Duke.
Man.
They averaging 110 points a game in 32 minutes.
I remember they beat like a, I don't know who it was. It wasn't the school of death or nothing,
but it was a school that don't nobody really care about, bro.
And he had 18 steals in the paper.
It was on the front of the paper.
I swear.
My pops came home and said, he an animal, man.
He just be going.
My dad was coaching over there.
I said, Dad, he doesn't have 18 steals.
He's like, man, he was out there playing hard.
I said, 18 steals, man.
Man, shout out to that old pal.
You know what's so funny, man?
Shout out to Coach G.
It's hilarious because he
knew how to push out buttons, but
he knew y'all was better than a lot of people. He used to
bring two of y'all face just to pitch all off. Yeah, I'm like,
pops, he did not have 18 steals. He was like, man, he was out there
playing hard, man. He just, he relentless.
Now he's like, you can never get 18 steals. He's definitely relentless.
That's a good word for it. Yeah, he was like, he just
never stopped, man. I'm like, bro.
That's it. Damn, don't know why he want to
dribble up against Lil Larry.
It's over. 18 steals
is great. Best defender I ever seen.
I was the NBA worker for steals. I would love to see
that. In my life. Bro, 18
steals. Bro, they had a nerve to have that in the paper.
Shout out to Hal, man. Shout out to any star.
Y'all the fucking...
I'm sorry bringing that up, but that just
made me think about that shit. The 10 boys
took me out, though.
And the 10 assists.
Larry, like, 5'6", 5'7".
Shout out to Larry, man.
He could hoop, though.
Little Larry definitely was nice.
Oh, he could hoop.
Hell yeah.
Our stats were just fitting.
They was just super out of pocket.
Damn, I ain't know how I was on that John Stockton shit.
That's hilarious, man.
That's definitely great.
Shout out to my man, John.
We got to shout out the guys for that.
That's a real story.
I'm like, how is he averaging 25?
Keon averaging 25.
Larry averaging 25.
And they got 60 points.
That box score was-
Niggas weren't scoring 100 in high school, bro.
I'm like, man, what?
Oh, man, that's amazing, man.
Monday morning, get well soon.
We need to start that week off with some encouragement.
How?
How?
How?
How is that a decision?
Still to this day?
