I ain't had nowhere to stay at so I was really sleeping in my pond of dorm float because I had wind up losing my apartment dorm float. Because I didn't want to lose my apartment and shit like that. He out there, I was sleeping in their dorm. You know, in the dorm when we got the common area. Outside everybody room.

There was dirt, there was a motherfucker there. But I was just sleeping in that every night. I would get a cover or something, go put my shit on. That's crazy that that happened like that for me. But you know what's dope, though? They still with you. And that was before that. So, you know, that's family.

They ain't no new niggas. They been around. Nah, they're my niggas for sure. And to think like that, because I remember I went to college and I had the moments. I ain't sleep where you at the commons area. I had a dorm. But to see them moments and then to see where you at now, you go on stage and it's... If you imagine that,

like, you can imagine it because you know where the common area is. In the dorm room, like, and the beat is like, man, hell nah. Nah, that's what I'm saying. Like, if I would have seen you and I walked by, I'm like, what this nigga doing? And then a couple years later, I'm like, probably at your concert, like like I wouldn't be believing

that's the nigga that was sleeping on the door like yeah that's crazy and that's exactly how life went yeah when was that time

that you like felt like you finally made it though I don't I never did I never I still don't right now we got so much more to go

it's 2% of 100 yeah yeah real talk you know it's funny when they ask me like man you want to do I'm like man% of 100. Yeah. Yeah. Real talk. You know, it's funny when they ask me, like, man,

you want to do it? I'm like, man, like, they want me to? Like, I don't want to go there if they really don't want me to.

You know what I'm saying? So you probably don't remember, you did a concert here and you came, that's when I was like, we was like, and we fucked that nigga, you came,

like, you was late. Oh, yeah, at the fairgrounds. And you still came. It was like, people was leaving, you was like, fuck we fucked that nigga. You came, you was late. Oh, yeah, at the fairgrounds. And you still came. It was like, people was leaving.

You was like, fuck it, I'm late. And they ran back in when they heard your voice. We was there. We was standing right there. We like, you was actually,

obviously you was rushing. So we was like, man, we gonna get this nigga attention. We fuck with his music. We gonna holla at him. But you came on stage. We stayed there.

They was like, he on his way. He coming, he pulling up. We like, we ain't gonna leave. We gonna wait till bro came on stage. We stayed there. They was like, he on his way. He coming. He pulling up. We like, shit, we ain't going to leave. We're going to wait till bro get on stage. We got to see what bro talk about. We fucked with it.

It was a crazy day because that's the first day we linked with Skillet, too. So we was like, oh, yeah, we're going to get on it. Like, that's crazy. That's when I knew you was the one, though. Because, like, this is a tough city, bro. And they get shitty when artists don't pull up. So when they found out, they like, damn,

we done waited on Rob. As soon as you came out doing your shit, they was running, sprinting back to get that. I was like, damn,

It's AAU season. I wanted to ask, how y'all feel about the state of summer basketball? Because it's so crazy now. You got more famous kids in AAU than people actually going to the league or going D1. What's it like? I know you pull up to every event. I know you've been live with as a coach.

How do you like keep your kids heads? Like, okay, I know this is summer basketball. I know it's lit. I know it's amazing, but stay locked the fuck in. I love it.

Uh, I was a kid growing up. So I play, I love it. And I know that a user where you get recruited for real, for real. Yeah. You're going to play high level talent.

You're going to play people the same size as you if you're 6'8", 6'10", whatever it is. I love it. The only thing that I hate about AAU basketball is that for Indiana high school basketball, it don't translate because we don't got shot clocks and all that shit or whatever. But I love it, though. I love seeing these kids be able to go out there, be entertaining, be stars,

build you a brand. Because now in college, you got to be a brand. Facts. So if you can learn how to do that early at an early age in high school, you still got to put in the work. That's the part I don't get. People become famous and they don't put in the work. Not to discredit Mikey Williams or nothing. He playing for my dog, Mike Bibby, in Sacramento State.

Yeah. Shout out to Mikey Williams. Hope. He playing for my dog, Mike Bibby at Sacramento state. Yeah. Shout out to Mikey Williams. Hope you get everything going, but to have that much fame and not live up to it right now, you know, cause he going in, even though he got into some trouble and shit or whatever, but that's the kind of shit that can happen.

Cause you got so much fame. Like you start feeling yourself a little more and you feel invincible. It's like being in the NBA at a, at a young age. Cause when you feeling you in the NBA and you feel invincible. It's like being in the NBA at a young age. Because when you're in the NBA, you feel invincible. Like, nothing can go wrong. Can't nobody fuck with me.

Can't nobody do nothing. And that's when you get into that shit. And if you're getting that at a high school age, it's tough. Because a lot of shit go wrong in high school.

Especially now. You got these kids getting bags in high school. Like, real, real bags. It's different now. Yeah. That's why LeBron say keep the main thing

the main thing, though. That's his main reason for even saying this. He live and die by that. I like it, though, because the kids really, a lot of kids don't really get to showcase

their real skills. Because to me, school ball, it's not whack, but it's a different brand of basketball. Especially when you the star on the team, and there's a bunch of other stars around you, it's kind of, but it's a different brand of basketball. Especially when you the star on the team,

and there's a bunch of other stars around you, it's kind of hard. So to see these kids get their own AU team and rock out, I'm talking about the kids that work hard, not the big stars and shit. Yeah, I fuck with it for that, though. And I credit even for you, because obviously you was cold, but in high school, Pike was loaded. You know what I'm saying?

You played team ball, you did what you're supposed to do, but you got to show, I'm really this, I got to show, like, I'm really this. I got to show my full arsenal. Yeah, AAU is a place where you show your true game. At high school, it's too... System. I ain't going to say system, because some people

let you hoop. Like, my senior year, I got to hoop. You know what I mean? But it's like a pecking order, kind of. Yeah. So, if you play AAU and you getting off at 15U, you doing your thing, you showing your skill set,

you might go to your high school and it's going to be a dude that plays 17, senior, whatever. You might not get that same love. People know you cold, but you might not be able

to get to do all the shit you do in AAU and your 15U team. Because this dude 18, he might play 17U, EYBL, you play 15. It's a difference. So, you know, it's a pick and order in high school, regular high school basketball.

But AAU is just where you get to show your real, true self. You're playing at 8 in the morning, there ain't no practices, there ain't no scout reports. It's just hooping, just seeing who just got raw game. But a lot of it don't translate. That's why the coldest people in AAU, they don't be that good in college. Structure. Structure, scouting reports, force them left, force them right.

That's why it also matters where you choose to go to the next level too. But it also matters what you play high school basketball. Because if you play AAU and you code, right, and then you go to high school basketball and that team lets you do whatever you want to do. We got the best player in the world. And he get to just shoot fadeaway threes. He can do whatever the fuck he want.

They lose. It don't matter. It's a highlight for this kid. When he go to college, college coaches, they going to tell you everything you want to hear to get you there. Once you get there, they don't give a fuck. Yeah.

Some people recruit kids just so they don't got to go against them. That's a learning curve. So then when you get there and it's like, well, you knew how I played. Well, we thought we could mold you. We can't mold you. Fuck it. It's over. You lost a year.

Yeah. And everybody hit that transfer portal and all that shit. Now your career didn't start off on a rocky road because you ain't had no discipline from your high school coach. AAU,

you never going to get that discipline. It ain't enough time. Yeah. Nobody got to hold you accountable. Y'all play at eight in the morning. You play for a team that's based out of California. You live in Utah

or you live in Indiana. Your team based out of Indiana. You live in Utah or you live in Indiana, your team based out of Indiana, you live in Cleveland. You ain't coming to no practice. You pulling up to the games, play, do your shit and leave. No, that's for sure.

And don't by really giving them about the wins and losses. No. It's hard averaging 30 on high school and having to go to college and average four. That could be a humble.

That's what's truly going to happen because your coach lets you do whatever. That's why, and not to even speak on Pike, but that's why we try to simulate college atmosphere and simulate like,

hey, you gotta learn how to play with other good people and do all this stuff because when you get to college, you ain't getting 20 shots. Yeah, it's quiet. Because it's a senior

or a junior or now a 25-year-old who been doing this for six years. That's cold. You ain't about to come in as a freshman and get 20 shots. And NIL, he get paid 1.2 million. He ain't about to come in as a freshman and get 20 shots.

And NIL, he get paid $1.2 million. He's definitely getting 20 shots. Ain't no way you take away from his touches. Let's be realistic. I'll do that. Nah, for sure, man. AU season kicking off, man. Can't wait to pull some events, man.

Yeah, we're going to be out there watching the AU season. Shout out to our, what's our new segment about to be called in the morning show? On the Rise. On the Rise, man. Show these youngins some love, man. It's a lot of talent out here that needs some exposure. We're going to do our best to make sure everybody see it for sure. All right, man.

Yeah, tell them, motherfucker. Barby. You're on a roll. Go ahead. Yeah, Barby's telling them to fuck one nigga 17 times as opposed to telling the girl to fuck 17 niggas. I mean, shit. Yeah, but you tell them to fuck one nigga 17 times as opposed to telling the girl to fuck 17 niggas.

I mean, shit. Yeah, I'm encouraged that, too. Like, I'd rather you fuck one nigga too many times. I mean, no, we do, of course, but I'm saying a lot of girls love choo-choos, bro. All right, well, we out of here?
