Starting point is 00:03:31 I'm the host. My name is DJ Wills. This is the second intro for the show. If you watch Patreon, you might get related to the show. I actually started.
Starting point is 00:03:38 I left my dog, Bishop B, here, out to prayer leaves. How you doing? Cool, Nash. Let's get to it. Fuck Mike. This is for YouTube
Starting point is 00:03:44 and Patreon. We's get to it. And fuck Mike. This is for YouTube and Patreon. We're going to get into a while later. To my right, my dog, Young Nacho, Young Teague. How you what?
Starting point is 00:03:54 I'm good, man. Chilling. Still in my 90s era. 95. The bubble's about to pop any time now. I got some shit I got to get off my chest
Starting point is 00:04:03 first, though. Ice hockey, really? So, I coached at Pike High to get off my chest first, though. Ice Hockey M, really? So I coached at Pike High School this past year, which was cool. I'm looking forward to the next year. We're going to be way better than we were last year. But I also want to say shout out to my seniors, Corey L, Langston, Tony, Elijah, Kev, all y'all.
Starting point is 00:04:24 I wish y'all well. Going forward in life, I'm always got y'all. I wish y'all well. Going forward in life, I'm always got y'all back. Y'all always can hit me up. Coach Teague, always going to rock with y'all forever, whatever. But I also want to say, when we podcast, it's a lot of sarcasm that we use on here. So when I talk about Pike or coaching, say we sad or whatever, it's just us joking about it.
Starting point is 00:04:46 Everybody here know how much I love the kids, how much I love coaching the kids. And I take a lot of my time out from doing the podcast, other stuff I got to do in my life to make time for that team, to coach. They have to practice shoot with the guys or whatever it is. So it means a lot to me. So when people say, oh, is he going to coach next year? Are you going to do this or do that or whatever? Nah, I'm going to do that. And for all the parents who got something to say like, oh, he he going to coach next year? Are you going to do this or do that or whatever? Nah, I'm going to do that. And for all the parents who got something to say like, oh,
Starting point is 00:05:08 he talks like this on his podcast. Listen, when I tell you I'm going to do it my way, I'm going to do it my way. I've been fired from the best job in the world. Like, I got waived from the NBA. I've been fired. So when I say, yo, what they going to do, fire me? I mean that
Starting point is 00:05:24 as in, I'm going to do it my way. Like, I'm going to play who I think can help us win. I'm going to coach how we're going to coach. We're going to rock Jordans on the sideline. We're going to do what's comfortable for us. But we're doing it for the best. We want our kids to be great. We want them to all go to college.
Starting point is 00:05:36 We want them to all play hard, be coached well, and grow into society and be really good men. Like, we're trying to groom really good men. So it might not be traditional to some of y'all people, but it works because we've been doing it with AAU for years, and a lot of our kids went to college and been successful. We just seen Tracy dunk on Wimbyana. Caught a body.
Starting point is 00:05:56 So, it works, but that was just for all the people who had something to say in the backgrounds. And I'll talk about the other stuff later because I got, I get at people that's weird. I get at them. It's cool.
Starting point is 00:06:10 We can just move on. Before I get mad for real. Don't mess up a good thing. Yeah. And not to be funny, like, not just because of my nigga, but like, realistically,
Starting point is 00:06:18 how many times do you have somebody who has been successful in your community come back and give their time, energy, and effort? As B.A. can attest, there's a lot of things we reschedule around that because that's what's important to him.
Starting point is 00:06:29 And also to us. We have ties with the community. Don't ruin a good thing overthinking. Just let it happen. Now, back to y'all beef. Y'all made me redo it. Back to the real shit. What's up, Beef with Mike, man? Nah, man. Fuck him.

John Wall came back after the—that's when John Wall first year. Gilbert had some good players that he played with. Oh, yeah, he had some dogs. For sure.
Starting point is 00:11:37 Hey, man, a lot of wild shit happened in sports over the weekend. Like we've been talking about it for the longest. Man, the Women's Final Four is about to be crazy this year. The whole entire tournament. That shit with LSU and South Carolina is funny as hell. Because why the hell did an old boy brother hop on the floor? Like he was about to pop. You call an old boy, old boy is nuts.
Starting point is 00:11:55 I'm an old girl brother, my fault. Old boy, I forgot her brother's name, my bad. Wow. No disrespect. First it's him calling them studs. Now you calling them Oh boy This is crazy
Starting point is 00:12:06 Wow Louise Fuck with me Y'all out of pocket I never disrespected Women's games like that Well if you go back To episode
Starting point is 00:12:17 Nah man He was wild For jumping out the stairs Like that bro Cause what you really Gonna to do, bro? Nothing. If you would have swung on one of them girls for real, bro, your ass would be grass. I heard he getting press charges on for, like, touching somebody's head to climb over.
Starting point is 00:12:35 Bro, as he should have, bro. Yeah, I'm like, damn, he getting charged for that? That's crazy. You're just doing too much, my nigga. But that wasn't no nigga in a pickup game jumping on your sister. Like, come on, man. She did push her like Ray Lewis.
Starting point is 00:12:48 She did. Nah, that was a heavy shoulder. Man. She did. She should've touched Angel like that, but... But what you, how y'all feel about
Starting point is 00:12:55 they coach saying that? LSU coach. Can be saying some bullshit and getting away with it, bro. Yeah, I feel like if Don Stanley, I ain't trying to make it a black or white thing,
Starting point is 00:13:03 but if Don Stanley would've said that, everybody would've been like, she out of pocket. Like, the roles was reversed. They, I ain't trying to make it a black or white thing, but if Don Stanley would have said that, everybody would have been like, she out of pocket. Like, the roles was reversed. They'd have been like, why is she promoting that?
Starting point is 00:13:09 Like, she should have been saying both teams should relax. Nah, hell yeah, you right, bro. That ain't part of the game. But,
Starting point is 00:13:14 come on, man. That privilege, and I'm rocking with it, though. She was right. But why would she say Angel's name like that, though?
Starting point is 00:13:21 Because she could have said your own size or anybody like that. Her saying Angel even sounded weird to me anyway cause why would you wanna put your star player in that situation nah she was just like
Starting point is 00:13:29 they been going at it yeah they was going back and forth she wasn't saying it just like that she was saying they been going at it why the fuck why don't you touch her why would you touch
Starting point is 00:13:36 the smallest one on my team yeah touch the big dog my nigga I rock with her I don't give a I fuck with her I feel what she's saying but I'm saying like
Starting point is 00:13:43 if it was reversed. Oh, absolutely. You 100% right. Even if she was right about it. Yeah, they would have been killing her. Like, why is she promoting that? No, you 100% right.
Starting point is 00:13:53 I'm pushing and shoving anyway. She should be like, that ain't part of our game. We don't need that. And normally, I would have given Coach a benefit or a doubt in that situation,
Starting point is 00:14:00 but how she handled Angel earlier this season makes me feel skeptical when she says shit like that. Because it's been proven that it don't me feel skeptical when she says shit like that. Because it's been proven, it don't seem like she really rocked with her like that. Do y'all think if that matchup happened again, the same results?
Starting point is 00:14:13 South Carolina will beat the... I was going to say, ain't nobody beating South Carolina this year, bro. It's up. Man, that was a good game, bro. It was a good game. Great game. I'm rolling with South Carolina, though.
Starting point is 00:14:23 Yeah, nobody really, really want that smoke. I like them because she a black woman, and she, like, so classy. Like, everything is, like, she rock. Joy in. She dress how we dress on the sideline, but she still classy with it. Like, she lose. When she do lose, she lose in a good way. She got good sportsmanship.
Starting point is 00:14:41 When they win, she still get the other team praise. Yeah, and she check her squad. Come on, bro. When they squad come on bro out of pocket i with that yeah i rock with that she do everything the right way yeah that's right and what's what's up about it with her is like if it was any other situation her accomplishments that she's already like accomplished so far she would should be boastful about that and would be no penalty penalty. But because it's her and her situation and what she represents, she got to low-key downplay herself.
Starting point is 00:15:08 I hate that for her because she revitalized that program and got one of the best runs in any type of sport history as a coach. And that don't get
Starting point is 00:15:16 smoked on enough. Nobody going to South Carolina as a girl before she got there. Fuck no. Tennessee, UConn, that was it.
Starting point is 00:15:25 And what's crazy is she's the combination of putting out killers and winning. Because even with Cal, Cal put out a lot of killers, but Cal didn't always win national championships. Yeah. Yeah. He won a lot of motherfucking games, though. Yeah, but they only got one chip to show for it. Which is kind of crazy.
Starting point is 00:15:41 And he got it. What, 30% of the all-Star team was from Kentucky, right? Come on, bro. Give me that. Give me that over the National Championship. Oh, me too. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:50 We know how we want. My resume? If I got seven kids go D1 out of Pike on my team and we don't win the state, I'm like, hey, we put them in. We get them in college.
Starting point is 00:15:59 We change lives. Yeah, we change lives, bro. But that is kind of scary, though, bro. We ain't hold the ball the whole game. He ain't won more than that. I was watching on ESPN. They was breaking down a list of players he done had, bro.
Starting point is 00:16:11 It's insane, bro. Nah, it's crazy. Killers, bro. And even, like, the mock drafts, like, changing around right now were like, I don't know if it's for real or not, but that was like contemplating Reed Shepard being number one. I'm like, that would be crazy if Kyle accidentally this year get two lottery picks. Well, he will. But he wasn't expecting them two to be the lottery picks. I'm like, that would be crazy if Kyle accidentally this year get two lottery picks.
Starting point is 00:16:25 Well, he will. But he wasn't expecting him to be the lottery picks. Off the bench, though. They both started off the bench. Yeah. That's crazy. Regal on number one
Starting point is 00:16:32 is kind of crazy. That's insane. But he be killing. I'd be so hyped if he won number one. That would be fire. Especially the type of kid he is. Come on, bro.
Starting point is 00:16:40 That would be fire. Y'all got to put his jersey up for sure. It's going up anyway. I can't wait to get one signed. Like, it's just crazy to see him as a little kid. He still play the same way. Ain't nothing changed.
Starting point is 00:16:50 He played just like that when he was in fifth grade. He was so fucking little, man. That's crazy. He always been good. Shout out to Reeve. Hey, man, we was chilling out. You know what I'm saying? We had this conversation when we saved it for this platform for y'all to enjoy with us.
Starting point is 00:17:05 Who played worse defense in their prime, James Harden or Luka Doncic? Because they mix types of them not doing shit on defense is just as good as the ones of them killing people. I'm going to go with Luka. I am too, because I've seen James Harden jump in the passing lines before. I've seen James Harden guard Kobe.
Starting point is 00:17:21 When he was at OKC. I ain't never, and I mean never seen Luka play defense. And I seen James Harden guard Miles Turner. In person, no cap. Here we go, bro. Stop, bro. You never seen that, bro. We did see it.
Starting point is 00:17:39 Okay. Unfortunately, I was there. You ain't lying, bro. Not happy about it, either. I don't like admitting it. This is I was there. John Lee is. You ain't lying, bro. Not happy about it either. I don't like admitting it. This is a Patriots. Oh, no, this is supposed to be. This ain't no slitter to Miles.
Starting point is 00:17:50 Did he lock him up? Of course. Yes. Of course. He did not score that position. But that year in Houston with James Harden, when they was calling him a lousy teammate, it's like he was just killing one pass in the ball.
Starting point is 00:18:04 Bro, he didn't play a lick of defense at the top. But Luka ain't ever played defense his whole time in the league. Like, you can go to highlights of James Harden actually competing against some people. Touche. Luka ain't never played defense. But is that a testament because Luka came in, it was immediately the star of the team?
Starting point is 00:18:21 And, I mean, James Harden was obviously that dude on the team, but he wasn't the star until Houston. Yeah. I mean, James Harden was obviously that dude on the team, but he wasn't the star until Houston. Yeah. I mean, you got to earn your stripes. When he earned them, boy, he earned it. He said, I ain't doing shit. Gave me the ball. Respect.
Starting point is 00:18:35 I forgot to ask Metal World Peace about this. Mind off, he is going to hit me with it, too. When he did the elbow to James Harden. Yeah. And, bro, what was you on? You see how hesitant I was to laugh because his laugh
Starting point is 00:18:47 a little off rhythm. So I'm like, yeah, I blew off. I blew by you. He like, I'm like, oh my God.
Starting point is 00:18:55 I'm like, his laugh a little off rhythm. Nigga, relapse. Let me chill. He went full Mike Tyson? Yeah, I was like.
Starting point is 00:19:03 Hey, I got to say something else too. Hey, why the fuck did y'all use that Hennessy Reed, I was like... Hey, I got to say something else, too. Hey, why the fuck did y'all use that Hennessy read, nigga, when I was spitting like that? Nigga, y'all know I can't motherfucking see. I tell y'all this all day. That boy been in them comments, ain't it? Nah, nah.
Starting point is 00:19:17 It's my goddamn wife. It ain't none of y'all. I don't read y'all comments. It's my wife. She posted that and was making fun of me. And like, boy, you hooked on phonics. I don't read y'all comments. It's my wife. She posted that and was making fun of me. And like, boy, you hooked on phonics. I can't see, motherfucker.
Starting point is 00:19:29 All right. Back to whatever y'all was talking about. Halfway get it off today. Nah, because we did like three of them. Y'all used the worst one. First of all,
Starting point is 00:19:40 they had that motherfucker all the way back there. They might scooted all the way up where I could see it. So they used the first one where I'm like, the weed. Squinting like a motherfucker looking...

And we was like, who had the best back-to-back run? Him, Free, and OJ, and Snoop Dogg. And I forgot who he was comparing it to. Man, we was talking about rappers who had back-to-back albums or anybody who had two back-to-back crazy years like that. But nothing compares, bro. Nothing compares to Johnny Cochran. Nothing compares, bro. Nothing compares to Johnny Cox. Nothing compares,
Starting point is 00:31:06 bro. He the greatest lawyer ever. He got two murder cases, bro. Bro, Snoop Dogg was not supposed to beat that case after OJ, bro. They were supposed to get somebody, bro. And the fact that they went two and all like that is different. Why can't niggas just be innocent?

Niggas are saying, come on, somebody had to go to jail. That's what niggas are saying. Niggas, to beat the two major cases, you know it ain't that easy, bro. Yeah, that ain't easy, bro. Y'all niggas are silly. You see how bad they got their revenge on OJ?

Starting point is 00:31:54 And niggas been hating on the internet with Lil Wayne and I don't like this. Do you think the Carter 3 is a classic rap album? Yeah. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:32:02 How you feel about that? I do. I do. I think what people forget about that album because even though we know Carter 2 better, dog,
Starting point is 00:32:08 that Carter 3 that we got wasn't the real Carter 3. Yeah. All them mixtapes and all that shit, all them leagues, bro. That was like the fourth version of that album
Starting point is 00:32:15 and it was still heat. It was heat. Nah, yeah, for sure. It was like his biggest selling record album. His biggest selling album, wasn't it? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:21 It was a classic, bro. I'm still taking one, though. I mean, I wouldn't have found a lollipop though well he had to do that yeah the commercial hits and shit yeah
Starting point is 00:32:29 for his other fans and shit but 3P and all that shit come on bro that shit was hard and I didn't even think about this but they was breaking it down it was just like that was at a time period
Starting point is 00:32:37 where everybody was stealing music wasn't nobody paying for shit so for you to sell that much at that time period where everybody burning your shit bro that's crazy you know I stole that month. Shout out to Wayne.
Starting point is 00:32:47 Nah, Wayne. I'm going to take quarter one, though. Oh, that's my favorite quarter, too. Yeah. One of y'all favorite quarter? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:54 Three's almost damn near last, for real. It is last. And it's not an insult because it's still far. Do y'all even count after three, though? Like four, five?
Starting point is 00:33:03 Nah, I don't even count them. Those are Birdman's albums. He was trying to get out of there. Brady Carter, niggas need the Carter. I remember that, bro. Yeah, just give me Mixtape Wayne for sure. Wayne didn't have no great album run. What you mean?
Starting point is 00:33:17 One, one, two, three. That's a hell of an album run, bro. But I'm just saying, like, niggas like Drake. Wayne is, like, one of the best rappers ever, bro. Like, in everybody's top three, five, two. Yeah. So for him not to put out that many great albums, it's kind of, like, says a lot about the nigga flow for real.
Starting point is 00:33:34 I think three great albums is pretty good. Shit, that's tough, bro. I don't know too many people. Because you got Hov. You got Hov, the best. You got Hov. You got Drake. Drake, probably, too You got Hov. You got Drake. Drake, probably two.
Starting point is 00:33:47 One of the best ever. Who else, man? After that, nobody else. Rick Ross, bro. No, Rick Ross. Ross got three classics? Yes, bro. Nah.
Starting point is 00:33:55 Ross don't have better albums than Wayne. Nah, he got one. But he does have classics. He got one... He got a couple hood classics. Oh, here we go. Teflon Don's a classic. That's a classic album,
Starting point is 00:34:06 but after that... Port of Miami's fire, bro. It's fire, but it ain't better than... It's not better than Carter I. Carter I. I'm not comparing it to the Carter.
Starting point is 00:34:14 I'm saying other niggas with... Just great albums. Yeah. Just great albums. What's just great albums? I'm not comparing them. I'm not comparing them
Starting point is 00:34:20 to, like, classic albums. I think they... Y'all sleeping on Ross, bro. I think y'all sleeping on Ross, bro. I love Ross. No, Ross is talking about I don't think he got three albums that
Starting point is 00:34:31 What? that can compare to them three. No. That's tough for me, bro. We may have had this conversation before. Who y'all think got a better
Starting point is 00:34:41 discography between Ross and Jeezy? I'll wait. See, because Jeezy got that one album that's better than any of Ross' albums. Thug Motivation. But you got a hood classic, too, where you say it's a hood classic or just are we talking about for everybody? Thug Motivation for everybody. I don't know, because when he did his Tiny Desk, people wasn't lit. That Tiny Desk sucks.
Starting point is 00:35:06 Sorry. I'm not going to say that. No, it sucks. But would they be that hype for Teflon Don, though? Yes, bro. But you know why? Because that
Starting point is 00:35:14 is real instruments on a lot of those songs, bro. Yeah, Ross Tiny Desk was fire. Ross's production, bro, is damn near better than majority of niggas' production, bro.
Starting point is 00:35:24 Yeah. Factual. So when you talk about a Tiny Desk, yes, production bro is damn near better than majority of niggas production bro yeah factual so when you do come when you talk about a tiny desk yes Ross would shred that bro he did one right
Starting point is 00:35:32 if he nigga if he do if he do Maybach music nigga but did you just see him perform lord
Starting point is 00:35:38 and that motherfucking crowd was so motherfucking dead I don't know I mean I don't really I don't really just watch the the tiny desk for the people who was on there Jeezy's tiny desk was crowd was so motherfucking dead. I don't know. I mean, I don't really, I don't really just watch the Tiny Desk
Starting point is 00:35:46 for the people who was on there. Jeezy's Tiny Desk was, it was all fucked up. I don't expect it to be a Scarface or Usher. He was in the wrong city or something, because the songs he was dropping
Starting point is 00:35:57 and the beat and the instruments, it was fire, and they like, they not reacting like they should have been. Yeah, so that's what I'm saying. They had Howard kids there that probably don't know his music.
Starting point is 00:36:04 Oh, yeah, he, oh, they young. Yeah, they don't know none of that. Yeah, hell not. And he relied on them Yeah, so that's what I'm saying. They had Howard kids there that probably don't know his music. Oh, yeah. They young. Yeah, they don't know none of that. And he relied on them too much, too. But I'm saying, Jeezy's first album is like a hood classic. I don't think that's a blueprint or a fucking... No. I'm a fucking classic.
Starting point is 00:36:19 Oh, for sure, how I look at it. I'm talking about, like, globally, I don't know. You said how people... Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think a lot of people, especially in our community, receive it like that because that set the trend
Starting point is 00:36:28 for a lot of different stuff because that Gangsta Grills was crazy and then that dropped and then that kind of started the snowman movement. And I seen the whole world wearing snowman t-shirts, so.
Starting point is 00:36:36 Oh, that was crazy. So Drake got the best album run? He ain't put out a bad album besides that bullshit dance shit, whatever he had. The newer ones haven't been my favorites of all time. Yeah, but like, He ain't put out a bad album Besides that Bullshit Dan shit Whatever he had The newer ones Haven't been my favorites
Starting point is 00:36:48 Of all But like The Before the last Drake's first three Is better than Wayne's first three No First
Starting point is 00:36:55 Wayne first three Like Black is Hot and shit Or you talking about Carter We could do the Carter run Yeah When everybody left Is a Carter
Starting point is 00:37:03 One, two, and 3 Better than What is it? Take Care, So Far Gone Thank Me Later Thank Me Later, Take Care And Nothing Was the Same Okay, my bad
Starting point is 00:37:12 Nothing Was the Same I feel like nothing was the same Gotta reel that out for the fans That's tough Cause I think that Carter 1 Is obviously better than Thank Me Later But Thank Me Later

Every time. Now that Carter 2 versus Take Care is tough. Yeah, I'm going to take Take Care for that. I don't know.
