To my left, I got my dog.

How you doing, Nasty?
Chilling, man.
Just enjoying my day.
Enjoying my day, bro.
How was your weekend?
Trying not to crash out.
I had a good time, though.
Shout out to Lil' Cuss, Lil' Joe.
He got engaged, you know what I mean, to his lady. Shout out to him and Internet. Okay. Congratulations. Congratulations, though. Shout out to Lil' Cuss, Lil' Joe. He got engaged, you know what I mean, to his lady. Shout out to him
on the internet. Okay. Congratulations.
Congratulations, man. Shout out to the fam
for sure, man. To my right, I got my dog,
Young Nacho, Young T. How you up, brother?
Shit, I was cool
until y'all told me about Twitter.
I was super
cool. I was super cool.
I was like,
damn, I don't like Andrew Reese. It's crazy. I'm going cool. The real allegations. I was like, damn. I don't like Andrew
Reese. It's crazy. I'm going to tell you right
now, if you get that T-Go page
ever back active again, boy, you're going to open it up
to some shit. I ain't worried about it.
It'll never be active.
Yeah, that page is going to explode, bro.
I don't fuck with Twitter, but it's all cool.
Twitter's been a very...
Hey, listen, man. We was coming here to do
a recap of 2024.
Who knew we was going to end our year like this?
I know, right?
I mean, dress the elephant in the room.
I mean, it is what it is.
Nah, so we had a show with Charleston, which was a cool show for the most part.
It was some things on there that was taken out of context.
It was some wild shit.
Yeah.
We can't control what a person say.
So the reason y'all even seen the clips is because the show was live.
Yeah.
Like usually stuff that we don't agree with, we all, so y'all can't see, y'all not hear.
We mark on the board stuff that we don't agree with.
Yes.
So the Angel Reese take and the Brittany Grine or whatever he said, we ain't agree with.
But before that, we ain't agree with the Shannon Sharp take.
Yeah.
Because Shannon my dog.
So we ain't agree with that. So that cause Shannon my dog so we ain't agree with that
so that stuff
wasn't even gonna be on the show
I don't think
it probably wasn't
whenever the show
it wasn't gonna make the show
it wasn't gonna make the show
but
whoever leaked it
from Patreon
from watching it live
they clipped
the Angel Reese shit
I don't know exactly
what it said
cause I don't ever watch it
I mean they clipped
the Angel Reese shit
they clipped the
Shannon Sharp shit
and we you know
we was just telling him a fuck of this to chill you know, we were just telling him to chill out.
But we didn't over tell him to chill out.
You know what I'm saying?
We kind of let him get his shit off.
Again, we can't control what nobody say.
It ain't no disrespect to nobody.
But that ain't us.
The first thing, they were just like, well, first and foremost,
why is he on your platform in the first place?
People asked for it.
Yeah.
We get y'all friends at home. Do it on their Patreon, you know what I'm saying, for the people to first place. People ask for it. Yeah. We get your Patreon.
We get your Patreon.
You know what I'm saying?
For the people who fuck with us.
See what happens.
Obviously, it was a little crazy, right?
Out of hand, maybe.
Everybody saw the raw before it paused, before we got to edit it.
And it happened.
Some of that shit is absolutely crazy.
Things we don't agree with.
But it happened.
Yeah, we ain't calling girls prostitutes on the show.
I Joan on everybody.
Ain't nobody. Yeah, nobody's exempt from getting torched on the show. I Joan on everybody. Ain't nobody.
Yeah, nobody's exempt from getting torched on the show.
Nobody's exempt from getting Joined on.
And that won't change.
And it definitely won't change.
And, you know, women in the WNBA disrespect, you know, NBA players all the time.
So far, it's like them beating them one-on-one.
So we speak on shit like that.
But we ain't never calling nobody no rapist or no.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
We ain't saying Angel Reese selling pussy.
We never said that.
We actually fuck with Angel Reese.
And she know that.
She got the vibe from when we all kicked it.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah.
Before y'all became fans of Angel Reese.
Yeah, for sure.
For sure.
We used to.
She came to the spot we had in Miami.
We took her to live.
We had great times with Angel Reese.
She cool people.
So we don't even look at her like that.
We look at her as a little sister, a little homie.
But we are going to critique her hoop game.
Now, her off the court, whatever she do, man, live your life.
We don't care about that.
You don't even step on that, though.
Yeah, we don't care about none of that.
I think she's doing a great job of giving girls who are straight
that play basketball
a nice little guideline. She want to be pretty.
She want to do whatever she want to do
and enjoy her life off the court. Do it.
The Aja Wilson clip, that's another
thing that kind of went viral for us at the end of the year.
That was just basketball, bro.
That's just basketball.
If you go to your favorite...
You go to LSU,
you'll get the fastest dude
on the track team
going against the fastest girl
on the girls' track team.
Who gonna win?
They run 100.
Probably the guy, right?
That's the reason
the track times
in the Olympics
for the guys
are way faster
than the track times
for the women.
It's just like
there's no genetics, bro.
Like, he's a guy,
he's a girl. If they play one He's a guy, he's a girl.
If they play one-on-one, he's stronger, faster, quicker.
But if they play basketball at a high level,
he's probably going to be a little better.
But if she go play a dude off the street that ain't that good, she'll probably beat him.
That's all I was saying.
Like that Mara episode when Don
Staley and them beat Martin and Tommy.
They can't hoop. You beat their ass.
I get it.
It's like Bill. Bill Collins. He used to play against the Fever and them. They can't whoop. You beat their ass. I get it.
It's like Bill.
Bill Collins.
He used to play against the Fever and them.
Bill can't whoop.
They probably is a dog, Bill.
And no NBA team would ever invite Bill Collins to come practice.
He couldn't kill our high school team.
But you know what's funny though?
Kelly, shout out to Drake.
We used to be there in 2011 2012 no I wasn't there
I was observing
no
I'm absolutely not
but they used to be there
like
we used to be practicing
that was for Lynn Dunn
shout out to
like Tamika
like
y'all can feel how y'all want to
about those conversations
but we have talked
probably more women's basketball
on this podcast
acknowledgement
from an actual standpoint
not just some blanket statements
about some of the popular players.
We shouted out local players here
who play for prospective colleges
and talked about
how they could have went
to different D1 schools
in this year
and era with NIO.
Yeah.
Have an opinion,
but don't be stupid.
Yeah,
because I think that,
like,
I went to the Pike and LC
girls game the other day
and I damn near like
watching girls.
I think they're way more fundamental than boys.
They are.
I think they learn the game easier and faster.
Obviously, I don't think they're more athletic or whatever,
but I think they're more skilled in high school.
Yeah, in the fundamental standpoint.
Like you said, sometimes the lack of athleticism
and the separation makes the execution that more important.
And we had a whole conversation with Lou about that
at a live show in Atlanta while drinking Hennessy.
Yeah.
Thank you.
I mean, shout out to Girls Basketball.
I'm not taking back shit I said.
I never said it.
I'm taking back everything I said.
I feel how I feel.
Like, our basketball takes
is going to remain the same.
For sure.
Fuck y'all and y'all feelings.
Because girls talk shit every day
on the low.
They talk shit to me every day.
Yeah.
So, you know what I'm saying?
That's just how we feel.
It's just my only take is
with the weird,
with us saying y'all sell pussy
and all that other shit.
Yeah, that shit,
come on, y'all.
I didn't agree with that.
That's off our radar for sure.
I didn't agree with that.
So, yeah, that's what it was.
But what else happened in 2024?
Man, I wanted to say
it started off
as just a breakdown of the year for us.
I mean, a lot of things have happened,
but like,
you know what I'm saying,
we started a year off strong.
All-Star was crazy for us this year.
I was just going back
and thinking about some of the
like interviews and stuff we did.
All-Star was a really big moment for us.
Yeah,
I like the,
my favorite was the All-Star weekend,
Jadakiss.
For sure,
the Jadakiss episode?
Yeah.
Man,
who are we interviewing?
Man,
Jadakiss was definitely like,
shout out to Mitchell and Ned,
shout out to Dexter's help
set that up, T-Mark, my dog. That situation was fire because that was just like, we really in here kicking Man, Jadakiss was definitely like, shout out to Mitchell and Ned, shout out to Dexter's help set that up,
T-Mark, my dog.
That situation was fire
because that was just like,
we really in here kicking it with Jadakiss.
But to kick off the Hennessy Arena Tour
and we didn't have too much information
behind what was going on,
so just walk into that situation
with a re-k and have a lot of jokes.
That's part of Mike too.
Mike's fault.
He didn't prepare us for that.
Oh, you blame Mike on that?
And he left us to swim alone.
Yeah, he did.
For sure. He left us
and went somewhere else. When we walked in there,
though, to see how everybody got instantly
nervous. I swear. Because I swear
the guy got nervous. I'm like, I done played in front of
arenas with thousands and thousands of people.
We walked in there and seen it was
something real. Were you like, first live show?
Yeah. Yes, nigga.
You was not there. I was setting
up the rest of the shows. You know what's crazy?
And look, shout out to the Hennessy team.
Shout out to Volume 2.
It was a busy weekend for everybody.
Information with All Star was like, we knew a little bit.
And then last minute, everybody was like, you got to be here, here, here, here, here.
And niggas was double booked.
So Mike had to go set up the Adidas event while we was doing that.
So we walked into that not knowing what the fuck was going on.
Everybody was like, oh, we about to talk in front of all these people?
That shit was crazy. You got nervous. And the vibes was crazy in there, too. I didn't want to leave. I heard that was the fuck was going on. Everybody was like, oh, we about to talk in front of all these people? That shit was crazy.
And the vibes was crazy in there, too.
I didn't want to leave. I heard that was the best show, too.
It was by far the best set up.
They went crazy.
And we was just kind of like
shell shocked. Hennessy always
do their thing, but y'all did y'all best shit in our
hometown. And I hate that we
didn't do it.
We could have had a crazier even crazier

And thought they was going to be here. Mind you,
I'm hopping out the black truck. He's like, no, you can't
wear those in there. They said, man, fuck you.
So he took them. He proceeds
to put my shit down and doesn't grapple on the way out.
You know what's funny about that?

Hey, listen, we pulled up to the venue.
We all pulled up.

that have kept them small.
Through raw conversations, real stories, and actionable guidance,
you can learn to face the mountain that is in front of you.
You will never be able to change or grow through the thing that you refuse to identify.
The thing that you refuse to say, hey, this is my mountain.
This is the struggle.
This is the thing that's in front of me.
You can't make that mountain move without actually diving into that.
May is Mental Health Awareness Month,
a time to conquer the things that once felt impossible

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 call this taser the revolution.
But not everyone was convinced it was that simple.
Cops believed everything that taser told them.
From Lava for Good and the team that brought you Bone Valley comes a story about what happened
when a multi-billion dollar company dedicated itself to one visionary mission.

My highlight of the year for us,
man,
I was hyped to see some of the guests that we got,
but to have Derrick Rose after his retirement,
come pull up on us.
Probably one of the highlights of the year for me.
And what's so crazy about that is we give you a little bit of insight to that episode.
Obviously,
if we could have requested or made that happen,
we would have definitely made that happen.
That was not us. We were chosen
for that to happen.
For him to set that up, for him to be tapped in,
for him to give a fuck enough to even pull up.
Man's brought his family.
We planned that out.
Shout out to him for making that happen with us,
bro. We couldn't have made that happen. That was dear gross.
That was a big one.
A surprising one for me that I had fun with when they came was uh i fucked with mojo when he came
i loved all i guess but mojo he was funny yeah he was super back and tap into that one we had
some good time and they really know football for real he's a for real bears fan no for sure man
he's sick right now yeah boy get well soon boy kayla Kayla Williams, she did not have the best 2024.
It was Josh Okogie 2024?
Yeah.
Yeah, that was my surprising guess.
Oh, yeah, man.
Josh Okogie.
JL was hilarious, man.
Yeah.
That was my surprising guess for sure.
And that went, that surfaced back up recently because they were talking about Christmas gifts and they were just like, as a parent out of pocket for getting that kid a refurbished
system.
I thought about you.
Josh Okogie out of pocket for getting me one.
That nigga like $2,000.
He came back with a used Xbox.
That's the craziest shit I think I ever been a part of.
Like, why would you do that shit?
It kept the money.
Another good one we had too was, ah, my boy.
But played my shit, though.
Yeah.
He was playing with the Xbox when he took it to the crib. Like, my shit, though. He was playing with the X-Bite
when he took it to the crib.
Where's my boy that used to play for the Blazers
that we had on?
The Shooter.
Uck. Shungard.
He was cooler than a
motherfucker. For the Blazers?
Oh, my God.
Oh, he's from West? West.
Oh, okay. Yeah, that's a solid episode. I fucked cool. Oh, you talking about Wes? Wes. Oh, yeah. Wes Matthews. Oh, okay.
Yeah, that's a solid episode.
I fucked with that one too.
I was going to say,
we didn't even get to go,
like, first of all,
the Hennessy tour,
I mean, before we got back,
that shit was fun as fuck too.
Because each city,
we had like a really,
really, really fun,
like we started off
in San Francisco
with BD.
That was fire
because we didn't have
no expectations for that episode.
And for BD to pull up
and be super cool, like, that was love.
That was a great-ass episode.
And that vibe.
Like I said, the Hennessy team went so crazy on the tour this year.
Like, every stop we had some fire.
Like, it didn't even matter.
We didn't have to worry about it.
Now, the activations is true.
And they treated us like premium, though.
For real, for real.
Hopefully, we can do that again.
So, the Dallas shit with Sean Marion, that was a funny-ass episode.
It was. That was a funny-ass episode.
He stood on business by his shot.
Yeah, that motherfucker almost went left.
Yeah, he stood on business.
I said, bro, you standing on business by that shot, huh?
He was not fucking with Jeff Tassin.
That episode was going great.
How do you shoot like that?
What you trying to say, nigga?
He said, like,
don't ask me about
no motherfucking seizures. Oh, God.
He was acting like that. I was like, ah, hell no. Y'all know me.
And I was, I'm like,
if we gotta go there,
fuck it. Y'all don't get that attitude.
But I thought Jeff was finna go
haywire.
I thought that was going totally left, too.
I'ma keep that. I fuck with you, nigga, but you're sad
and goddamn, you're really weak, goddamn. I was like, this nigga finna go crazy and we just gonna have to stand on totally left to it. I'm going to keep that. I fuck with you, nigga, but you're sad. God damn it. You're really weak.
God damn it.
I was like, this nigga finna go crazy.
And we just going to have to stand on it.
Fuck it.
We just going to have to turn it up. And I was like, man.
So that's why I act like I do when we do interviews.
Like, I just be like, let me let y'all niggas shine, man.
Because if I don't agree with something, I know me.
I'm just like, controversial.
Well, the last time it happened, it worked for you.
Yeah. Yeah. So I just last time it happened. Yeah.
So I'll just be chilling, bro.
Y'all see I got mad at DJ the other day about her chata. What's it called?

When people give me suggestions in my inbox,
I don't know how they get through

Damn.

Anybody find that tweet?
When Baby Boy came out.
It might have been.
What year was that?
My second year.
It might have been like
2011, 2012.
She was like,
we was playing D. Rose

I was on Twitter.
Damn, Taraji.

Yeah, she was like,

I was like, damn, I'm about to slide.
I was about to slide.
The real Tyrese.
I used to watch that baby boy
that scene every day.
Tyrese Thompson.
I hate you.
I hate you. I hate you.
I hate you too.
Next thing you know, he's in the skin.
That's how I be though, bro.
That's some real shit though.
I don't like that shit.
I don't apply it to my life.
Motherfucker, they're arguing so hard, ready to crash out.
They're ready to end it all.
Motherfucker, get up out that char?
All that going up out the window.
You know what's funny? I'm still laughing at the fact that Jody got rims for
a car that wasn't his.
He's a legend for this.
He put rims on our car and then took them back.
You know what? Speaking of Jody, that's another
nigga who had a hell of a 2024.
Tyrese easily
easily
what he
him and Orlando
Brown
they had a crazy
he made a comeback
this year
2024 was a good
for my cousin
my cuz
2025 he might be
getting some real
chicken
2024 was a good
comeback for cuz
he made a great
who else had a
good 2024
young thug came
home in 2024.
He did.
Good to see Thug free.
Thug is free.
Definitely be the case.
Anybody else in 2024?
We got to speak on Kendrick and Drake.
K-Dot had a hell of a year.
K-Dot had a great year.
In music, K-Dot and Future probably on the rap side,
I'd probably say some of the bigger artists probably dominated the year.
Yeah, Pluto started a mega beef
and had a great solo year.
That album dropped
on my birthday.
It's home forever.
So,
we say music,
who had a bigger year,
K-Dot or Future?
Oh,
Kendrick.
Kendrick.
Yeah,
he had the biggest year.
He had the biggest album.
But Future dropped
three projects.
I mean,
you feel how you feel
about the last one,
but to drop those two albums
with him and Metro
was crazy.
Like,
those were staple albums.
And a lot of people
didn't drop.
I know a lot of stuff going on this year music were staple albums and a lot of people didn't drop.
I know a lot of stuff going on this year music wise
but a lot of people
kind of shied away
from putting out
even I mean
regardless if it wasn't
Albinaut like we got
oh shit on DSPs
like you got Wayne
uploading the classics
on there.
J. Cole his series
went crazy
the Madison Square Garden
like he had a great year too
regardless of how people
felt about him
backing out of the situation.
We had tickets to that.
What?
To the Madison Square Garden.
Are you fucking serious?
Yeah, I just didn't tell you.
So you bought a mic.
Oh, another thing that happened in 2024.
What happened?
Apparently Kamala Harris wanted to come on
and Mike said we wasn't good enough to pod
freaking much. That is clearly. I almost released
him from the label.
We're going through a tough time right now. I almost released him from the label. We're going through a tough time right now.
I almost released him from the label, but
that's our guy. We're in this together.
We're a team.
I'm hilarious. Trust the light.
So that's pretty much it.
That's where we are.
We took Charles Lewis.
Everybody has a lane.
Now you're like Dave.
We told Dave
to go book for it no more.
Just to pass from
college to Charles.
So that is
Freaky Mike's fault.
Y'all can clip that also.
Yes.
Freaky Mike had
Camilla Harris
offer on the table
and refused that.
It was an interest.
It wasn't no interest. But he peaked
the Charleston White interview
for sure.
We do everything as a unit.
Mike said, no, you guys are doing this.
And clearly they loved it.
You know what I mean?
He definitely said, this is it.
That's cool. He booked stuff.
I'm with the gang.
My bad, though.
I should have told you about them tickets, but I couldn't go, so I didn't even, like,
tell you.
See, that's what happens.
I was like, y'all niggas ain't going.
I can't go.
What the hell is this?
Yeah, shout out to my dog, Farouk.
Man, Farouk, he a DJ for Dreamville.
His best friend, a DJ for Dreamville.
And he was like, man, they'd love to have y'all at the show, man.

Respect your job.
Y'all niggas

without me.
Look at the FaceTimes, bro.
See, these niggas

We couldn't go to J. Cole
because he had to coach.

something crazy.
Nope.
Nah, but I hate this church. Oh, God. I do right now. What the fuck? I was about to say something crazy. Nope. I hate this church.
Oh, God. I do right now.
What the fuck? I was like, y'all ain't gonna

Made for This Mountain is a podcast
that exists to empower listeners
to rise above their struggles break free
from the chains of trauma and silence the negative voices that have kept them small. Through raw conversations,
real stories, and actionable guidance, you can learn to face the mountain that is in front of you.
You will never be able to change or grow through the thing that you refuse to identify. The thing
that you refuse to say, hey, this is my mountain. This is the struggle. This is the thing that's in
front of me. You can't make that mountain move without actually diving into that.
May is Mental Health Awareness Month,
a time to conquer the things that once felt impossible
and step boldly into the best version of yourself
to awaken the unstoppable strength that's inside of us all.
So tune into the podcast, focus on your emotional well-being,
and climb your personal mountain.
Because it's impossible for you to be the most authentic you.
It's impossible for you to love you fully
if all you're doing is living to please people.
Your mountain is that.

Me and bro took a shot at XO before we recorded.
It was like 10 a.m.
He said, I ain't been asleep.
I said, oh, yeah, classic on the way.
That's why he set the energy.
Even DeMar DeRosa, when he said he came in,
he was like, y'all make us comfortable.
Not to compare you to nobody, but y'all remind us
like the hoop drink champs.
Phoenix.
That's where we was, them. Phoenix. Listen.
That's where we was, Phoenix.
We love working. We love doing this shit.
We appreciate y'all because the fact that we get to do this for y'all, man, this mean the world
to us. We really worked in Phoenix.
We was in Phoenix, what, 36 hours
maybe? Yeah.
We worked a whole day straight on some
accidental shit. We pulled up to Dane Kemp.
Shout out to Dane Dollars for making that happen. We couldn't make
All-Star happen, but he a solid nigga
and doubled back with us. And we appreciate Dane for that.
We flew out there to the camp.
Had all access to Adidas

stuff. But as we in there, E.T.
walk in. You know what time it is. We on bullshit
when we see E.T. He pull up to the hotel
we all staying in.
We see DeMar DeRozan. Look, we went downstairs
to talk shit to Doc Rivers
on the way out the door.
This nigga DeMar pulled up
like, damn, what's up?
Him and B.H. Inslee
locked in.
Yeah, that's my guy.
Him, Dale and Terry,
they all locked in instantly.
And we just made
that shit happen.
That's my guy.
And OG Mike Bibby pulled up.
I was really like...
Phoenix was a great trip.
Phoenix was a great trip.
That was all within one day.
That was an eight-hour nap.
We came all the way to Phoenix
for Dame Lillard and Mike Bibby
and came out with some more work.
You know what I mean?
That shit was dope.
E.T. for sure.
They all was fire interviews.
E.T., man.
E.T., man.
I'd like for DeMar to recognize us in a way, like the show Love.
Like, damn, y'all just make people comfortable.
That's my biggest thing about doing this.
I just always wanted to have fun.
And actually, you know, we don't depend on guests.
That ain't our thing.
But when we do get guests and they, like, comfortable and they want to chop it up and be like.
Yeah, they ain't want to come on the show.
Yeah, they want to have fun with us
and not make it seem like it's a press run or whatever.
I think that's what make it dope.
And then, like, for the fans, like, when they be like,
man, I watch you, this inspirational.
Like, when we go live with the fans and stuff.
Yeah.
That's what made me, because I was about to quit earlier.
Yeah.
I was almost done.
Wait.
Can we talk about that story?
Okay.
Which one?
The day before.
Which day?
When I was about to quit?
Yeah.
I don't quit by five times.
I said, he's quit multiple times.
What time?
The day before we signed, the first time?
Oh, I was really going to quit that day.
Oh, yeah.
Was that 2024?
No, that was going into 2024.
We almost didn't have a 2024.
Oh, yeah.
I was going to quit that time.
Yesterday, I was going to quit because people were talking about my wife.
I was like, listen, the only thing I care about is Pike's job and my wife.
Yeah.
Don't play with my jobs, bro.
Yeah.
I love them kids.
It's an emotional rollercoaster. Yeah, I love them kids. Don't play with my jobs, bro. I love them kids.
Yeah, I love them kids. Don't do that.
He will show when I'm done, bro.
Yeah, y'all playing with my... I love them kids. Don't do that.
Niggas not there coaching for the financial game or the fame game.
That's because niggas give a fuck.
You really quit a lot of times.
Yeah, I quit five times.
Because y'all niggas be playing around.
But listen.
Paying to be here,
basically.
To the face.
Look, the only time I quit,
because, all right,
so y'all know us,
but y'all know I'm a workaholic.
Like, I'm an OD workaholic, right?
I'm probably OD.
Like, I go OD with a lot of shit.
You don't drink water when you work out.
Nah.
If I start doing something, I just get OD about it.
If I don't feel like it's OD,
if you ain't OD with me, I get feeling weird.
Like, why we ain't podcasting today?
Gila no podcast eight times a week.
And then they be like, well, I do got kids.
I don't got kids.
I'll be like, I quit, man. Be with your kids, bro. they'd be like, well, I do got kids. I don't got kids. I'll be like, oh, I quit, man.
Be with your kids, bro.
They'd just be like,
you niggas got families.
Go be with your family. Nigga, I don't need
you to tell me to go be with my family, fuck nigga.
I'm going to be with my family every night.
Fuck out of here, nigga. See you tomorrow, bro.
I got to take my kid to school.
And then I just bounce back and be like,
my fault, y'all. Y'all got kids, man. I love
y'all kids. My steps
are old, bro. He drive.
We gotta raise your kids. I said, well, I'll have to
raise it regardless. You have
this weak-ass Steve Harvey moment
with me, nigga. It's not needed.
Put your hat back on.
The fuck?
And then when I
start coaching out, I be having to ask them hey I gotta go here
they be like oh
oh yeah
oh we almost
didn't go to Dallas cause
had to go to Aruba on the boat
oh wow
if y'all not in Dallas
Dallas
we can't say how much money that was
he's about to fumble.
A nice piece of change.
Yeah.
So, I respect they situations now.
So, that's why I quit a long time.
But yesterday, I almost quit.
But I'm back, though.
We love y'all.
That was funny as hell, bro.
It'd be them days.
It'd be like, man, we have a lot of good evidence.
Them days, it'd be crazy.
It'd be like, God damn.
I just don't ever want us
to take this shit for granted,
y'all.
Hell nah.
We got this moment, man.
Hopefully this shit can go on
as long as we want to,
but this shit.
Nah, and I love it.
I love everybody who love us, man.
It's dope.
Yeah.
Yeah, I think the dopest part
about it is that
at the choice essence,
we are, we really fans.
Like, you talking about
what we haven't guessed on.
Like, we really be fans
of, like, basketball and shit.
So, like, when we get to just,
like, kick it and get out,
like, bro, we had Ice Cube
on his pocket. I fanned out.
Yeah. I was shook.
We had Ice Cube, bro. I was shook.
I met him 10 times. I was
still shook. We about to
ask him about that.
My dad, he was like, nigga, you about to meet Ice Cube?
Yeah, I was shook. Who was I really shook
for? Mike Epps.
I don't know why I was shook for. I met him in 20s, but I got nervous. I don't know. I wish we shook. Ice Cube. Who was I really shook for? Mike Epps. Mike Epps. I don't know why I was shook for.
I met him on Twinkies, but I got nervous.
I don't know.
I wish we could.
I hope not.
I hope we get more entertainers, though, next 2025 on here,
outside of athletes, just to broaden the pot a little bit.
I think they're going to tell us to shut up and dribble for a while.
Get back to basketball!
Entertainers probably.
I mean, we don't have to go Charles the White and Woody and Orlando Brown.
Everybody said Dr. Umar.
That's not happening now.
Yeah.
I don't think it was happening
anyway.
Why?
Because Dr. Umar,
what he did with the money?
Allegedly.
They saying we not going to do
Dr. Umar now because...
Oh.
No, we...
Wait, wait, wait.
That's two totally different things.

I think it was watching them drive off with their shit.

When they stole Sierra.

that's crazy
oh shit you know that's some crazy random
shit we didn't bring up shit the morning. That's crazy. Oh, shit. You know what else is crazy? Random shit we didn't bring up.
Shit, the morning show.
That's crazy.
Hell of an addition we've had.
520 in the morning.
Been going crazy the last couple months.
I can't wait until we really get it where we want to, for sure.
I'm glad you brought that up because the whole reason I haven't
Charleston, Hawaii, and all these dudes and entertainers is because
we're trying to show the difference between the night show
and the morning show.
The morning show is basically a sports show.
I know we clown and do other stuff on there, but it's really geared towards sports.
We want this to be more culture entertainment with a dab of sports in it.
So it's two different shows.
I know y'all still probably don't understand it.
I know some people have.
Our core fans, they don't understand it.
So that's why.
And we had that Patreon exclusive because what patreon say
to us they won't trust them they don't get we don't they wanted him and we don't give them
enough love so oh yeah shout out to the patreon yeah went crazy you know but it happens again we
don't agree with everything our guest said but it did happen and it is what it is nah shout out to
the morning show though that's it's about to get bigger and better, y'all, for real.
Man, I love the morning show.
And we got some integrations.
We gonna pop in next year.
We got some guests, some constant people you might see on the show more frequently, man.
The morning show is really, really about the integration.
They getting the audio together.
I fuck with it just because, like, we have to be the only people in the world that started
off at the very beginning and let y'all see all the mistakes.
Yeah.
Yeah.
This shit really should have been a patron exclusive at first.
And then when we got it,
but I fuck with it,
you know what I mean?
We fuck with them.
So we just like,
yeah,
they know us.
We raw.
We real.
It's all in house stuff.
Like we all from here.
We all do all this in house.
We don't got it.
Watching Mike and this nigga Malcolm trying to figure out how to fix the audio.
They still ain't fixed it.
They could put some.
This shit sounds great now.
Yeah, they put some little pads up for the sound.
This nigga put his gym pads up for soundproof.
I said, nah, we got to call somebody.
Yeah, do karate pads up.
I got karate passes.
Karate passes.
Shout out to the wood wall.
I mean, the brick wall.
That Mike put brick by brick
on there. I was going to say, we didn't even get to
the first set.
Y'all just eat half split set and said,
what the fuck is this?
They talk about our chairs. Oh, this nigga lame as fuck.
They talk about our chairs.
Yeah, chairs.
DJ still too little.
In the scene.
We sitting on pads now.
Like we had a motherfucker
our son football game.
Like we on the bleachers at Pike.
Them kiddie booth seats.
So y'all are growing with us for sure.
For sure, for sure.
That's the dope part about it. Like you said, bro, we do all this shit
in real time, man. Listen, y'all done got us
to this point. We ain't tripping off being real about y'all.
That's how it works. We got a production team of
two people. Shout out to the people behind the
scenes who help as well. It's five of us
here. We make that shit happen. I love to see
that shit happen, man. It's fun. We be
having fun. I ain't quitting in 2025. I love to see that shit happen, man. It's fun. We be having fun.
So I ain't quitting in 2025.
I probably quit in the middle of the year,
but I'll be back.
That's crazy.
Listen,
man,
we appreciate y'all.
We going to be here.
Hope to have a great 2025.

the term that we always hear from our audience is that they feel seen.
Listen to Good Company on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hi, I'm Sarah Spain, host of Good Game with Sarah Spain, and the co-author of the new book,
Runs in the Family, an incredible true story of football, fatherhood, and belonging,
written with and about Las Vegas Raiders running backs coach, Dylan McCullough.
It's the story of a football coach and father of four who sees his life forever changed by
the unsealing of his adoption records. And it's got a twist you won't believe.
Based on the
viral ESPN story I did a few years ago, this book will blow your mind and bring you to tears.
Buy Runs in the Family wherever books are sold. This is an iHeart Podcast.
