For sure, man. Hey, man, I got to give you some credit, man. You was one of the first people I seen with the P6000s on. Oh, yeah. We had a conversation on Twitter about them. I'm like, them damn are like the new Air Force Ones. You just got to select them out and just swap them out, bro. Hell yeah.

I fuck with these. This is my favorite because they got a bunch of dope colorways, but this is the best one to me. For sure. Now, Ricky Mike, he teamed Romero. Even though I ain't seen him in no Romeros in a long time, I don't know what the beef is. He's 6,000s, T, or the Romeros?

I got both. Because that's a tough colorway. The Romeros feel better, but them look better. I agree. I know. Were you wearing this situation? I'm team Vamiro. I do like to look.

I got that same colorway, but the Vamiro definitely feel better. Show, man. Shout out to the Cozy Shoes. To my right, I got my dog, Young Nacho, Young Teague. How you what? Man, I'm chilling. I ain't on shit. Jordan 9s.

I don't know why. They wasn't about to do it. They wasn't about to do it. They was in a box. I just happened to look at them and grab them. Those are fire to me. I always respected those shoes, but I never understood why they was on the Jordan statue and 9s.

I fucked with them white and blue ones, though. Oh, the French blue with the gray? Yeah, those are very, very tough. That's hard. To me, them is the hardest ones and only like,

the only cool gray shoe I actually fuck with are the nines. I love the cool gray nines. I think they're already elite. My favorite nines is probably the cool gray nines. Yeah, the cool gray nines

are super duper tough. Not in part. Man, we getting into that point of the year, man, we almost close to the tax time. Is that retro five? Is that man, we almost slow. So the tax time, is that retro five, that metallic,

is that going to be the tax Jordan? You know, everybody about to have them. Oh, yeah. I need them. Well, I got them. My mind's already secure.

I just got to pick them up. Shout out to the plug. For sure. We always have a 520 staple shoe. It's probably going to be the metallic five. Last year it was a four. We all wore the plug. For sure. We always have a 520 staple shoe. It's probably going to be the metallic file.

Last year was the 4. We all wore the 4s during All-Star weekend. That'd be hard if we had a sweatsuit with some white stitching. We're asking for a lot. We're just asking for a sweatsuit at this point. Shout out to the new merch, man.

Let me see the sample, man. You got a sample? We are not showing those on air, but I got you. So this episode is up. You can't think that's the one. You said what? I said I think that's the one. That's the one?

That's the one. Oh, well, shit. Since we here, fuck it. That can't be the one. You don't like it? Let's talk about it. I ain't seen it. Let's talk about it. All right.

Mix it, shake it, pour it. It's more like Jewel merch, but respect. It's more like a Sierra song. But I was missing something. Who put the mix it, shake it, pour it on the back of the shirt? The merch lady. Yeah, that one never my quote. touch it, bring it. Who put the Mix and Shake and Port on the back of the shirt? I don't want to.

because my mama would pick up that ho and hear everything. My mom used to pick up the phone and put that bitch down. Just to, you know, turn it up so she could hear. Kids nowadays don't have to worry about that shit at all. Yeah, that's funny as hell. Because now you get to a point to where you're talking about the bees and shit.

when I got in the NBA. I owe $5,000 to T-Mobile. Talk about weight. Nigga, what? We owe five minutes to T-Mobile, nigga. Probably my freshman year. Oh, my God. She just would, like, pay a little bit.

Because I'd call her. I'd be like, yo, mama, my phone. You know, you could, like, you could dial out, but you couldn't accept in or something like that. Mama T had to plug. Nigga, that phone should have been off, nigga. She just kept making payments. Our phone was getting cut off, nigga. If you miss two months, it's over, nigga. She just kept making payments. Our phone was getting cut off, nigga. If you miss two months, it's

over, nigga. Sprint was not right. T-Mobile was showing love. You just had to make payments on it. She would make $20 here, $30 here. Nigga, I got to the league, nigga. It was an outstanding bill. Like, first of all, not to play my mama in there, but we had to refinance our house. So when I bought it,

when she bought it and I had to pay it off, I'm like, why the fuck is this house $230,000? It's a little wee-ass house. That motherfucker, she rented it out. She's on a business. I love her.

I love her to death. Why the hell does this house cost so much money? I'm making shit. That second mortgage is a motherfucker. I love her to death. I was calling some damn money. I was like, make your shit. And then, that second mortgage a motherfucker. I was trash, man. I love her to death. Then she was like,

I went to Verizon. I had got my old phone. I'm like, yeah, I'm going to get me a phone. She was like, well, you might as well pay yours off.

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. Listen to Made for This Mountain on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

I'm Michael Kassin, founder and CEO of 3C Ventures and your guide on Good Company, the podcast where I sit down with the boldest innovators shaping what's next. In this episode, I'm joined by Anjali Sood, CEO of Tubi, for a conversation that's anything but ordinary. We dive into the competitive world of streaming, how she's turning so-called niche

into mainstream gold, connecting audiences with stories that truly make them feel seen. What others dismiss as niche, we embrace as core. It's this idea that there are so many stories out there. And if you can find a way to curate and help the right person discover the right content, the term that we always hear from our audience is that they feel seen. Get a front row seat to where media, marketing, technology, entertainment, and sports collide. And hear how leaders like Anjali are carving out space and shaking things up a bit in the most crowded of markets.

True back. I think he got smoking in Toronto, right? Yeah, it's a little friction up there, but... Ah, fuck it. They still love him. Yeah, the mass majority. But he Drake. Yeah, he's... I know we get carried away with some of this back and forth, like the internet shows,

but Drake is still a very important person, especially in that city, for sure. Man, but Australia just don't hit the same. I just don't know what you do in this kind of beef, though. I don't know what he does to be back up to the... All he had to do was keep it rap. Nigga, after that song drake could have came out with an album we still but when he started suing people and all that

shit yeah he's a little different yeah he prolonged us himself um but like you said all the antics and shit and everybody calling you a karen and it's like all right now you playing the victim real cool but i mean pnd got a situation dropping very very soon i think it's supposed to drop on valent Day, if I'm correct. Yeah, niggas ain't going. I mean, it's going to be hard, though. White people don't care about rap beef. That's why I always think he's straight.

Yeah, I don't care about rap beef. They don't care. They don't. But, you know, it hit our community a little different. Eventually, we might not give a fuck. But as a whole, we kind of charge niggas. If we got a hard album coming out, we not going to care. Because nobody care about Kendrick shit no more

I ain't heard not like us oh you're I don't know what you talking about G and X still got

dumb slaps yeah but I ain't heard not like us and well it just went back up bro he just won them Grammys

yeah his life I'm saying it got it ran it ran his course he did

his five billion streams but it was over with like the Grammys brought it back It ran its course. He did his five billion streams. But it was over with. The Grammys brought it back up. Super Bowl gonna bring it back up again. After Super Bowl that shit gonna be dead. I think the lawsuits brought it back up too. The song was already popular, but

the antics made the song live even longer. He about to hear it on Sunday because that song was definitely getting played at Super Bowl. But it's dead after that. You think so? We don't consume music that long no more. song was definitely getting played at Super Bowl. But it's dead after that. You think so? You're running by your foot. You know, we

don't consume music that long no more. Like, it's dead. Like, Drake, all Drake had to do was let him run his course

and let him do his shit. He could have dropped that shit with Party Next Door. Yeah. The niggas

would have been, oh, Drake, make some of what you want. Drake make them hits. He might have lost that battle,

but fuck it, he got hits. But now when he do all the suing and shit, you give people like Joe Bud and all them ammo to keep talking shit. Yeah. And it's interesting that you said that part

because you said white people don't care about rap beef. You know who else don't care about rap beef? Women. If it's some slaps or some songs that women can put in their caption on this or some vibey shit, his core audience is going to be right back where it is because a lot of women fuck with Drake because Drake make that

type of vibe with music. Yeah, he can bounce right back on top. But if he come out with another slap, I mean, shit, it's Drake. I don't know if he can have another slap slap

like a hip-hop rap slap. That might be dead. Niggas might not just tune into it. Even some of the songs he dropped during the beef or after the beef, that was kind of usually, that shit with Thug,

that's normally a slap. Yeah, we've been like, yeah, that's hard. But I don't think people gonna be... You went the other way, bro. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Our community, you might have lost us as a whole. If he dropped headlines where he was like,

don't make me... What he said? Oh headlines where he was like don't make me what he says that Mr. O'Drager don't tempt me. Or what he say I might catch a body. What song was that? Yeah, that's the song.

Yeah, like he could never drop something like that. Yeah, I don't want to hear that no more. Don't everyone hear it again. Same way I feel about Cole. Love Cole to death, but I don't want to hear

I'm the best and I'll prove it. No, just go rap, bro. Just take out your vocabulary. Drake helped Gunna get some light off him. What? He had a fantastic year. Drake really helped Gunna, like, right on my nigga. But that should give y'all an example that you can bounce

back, because Gunna dropped a horror album. Undeniable, bro. People like the music. Under tough allegations. And they couldn't even say, you couldn't even hate. He had some songs that I liked. And they couldn't even say, you couldn't even hate. He had some songs that I liked. And then the nigga that's hating on you, or the niggas that's hating on you, is having, like, you know, OK albums, and niggas is going to jail. It's kind of like, hey.

Yeah. And I hate Gunna. Damn. Not even, no, I'm saying, like, that ain't my, because we used to have, me and my dog, Keese, we used to have me and my dog Keese we used to have a battle between him and Lil Baby like who better

Baby or Gunna we used to always do that and this was before Baby started you know when Baby was up I'm like Baby killing Gunna he used to be like

nah Gunna gonna age way better than Baby he do so like it made me like hey Gunna I actually like his songs but I just couldn't be a fan

because I was like a Lil Baby fan for the second argument yeah just for the argument anytime you'll be on that yeah i'm about to say it could be cold but just for my point of view so i could be right i'm gonna hate him like the pacers he actually liked the pacers well no why are you bringing this up i played for the past he used to do that the future a while back yeah like i'm just gonna argue my side to a point where I'm going to make myself hate them, even though I like them.

Like, you'll catch me listening to some of their songs, but that's how I was. You're really a Future fan. I'm God. And somebody really said, well, if Jeff was a rapper,

fuck Dirt, he's Future. I got hype. The cat. There's many times Nickiggas gonna play 56 nights yeah that was one of my favorite albums

but I was a fan of Baby and then see Gunna like just slowly keep doing what he's doing and having hit after hit after hit after hit

Keith finally called me like yo remember that shit you was talking about Gunna and Baby I'm like Lil Baby always been hotter but Gutter always been I I mean, Gutter.

Shout out to my nigga, Gutter. He never been hotter. Nah, but Gunna? Gunna's always been a better artist, though. Forever. I just didn't feel that way at that time. R.I.P. to my nigga, Rye. He used to say that early on.

He was just like, he was like, Baby Cole. He said, Gunna music just different. And I'd be like, nigga, you trippin'. And I'd be like, nah, the melodic shit definitely hit different. That's why they was a good group. Lil Baby's hotter, though. And he could really spit. He was making bigger songs.

He was a bigger artist. You know what I mean? He was a polarizing figure. But so far as music, ah, bro, Gunna undefeated, bro. But look how everybody suffered. Not say suffered. It's a better word. Look how everybody was affected in that situation.

If they all could get along, though, obviously, Casey's in work. That's different. Nigga Street Ties, that's a different type of politics. But they all would have benefited from still having a relationship. Even Drake from the situation. If they all could get along, obviously cases and work, that's different. Niggas, street ties, that's a different type of politics. But they all would have benefited from still having a relationship. Even Drake in the situation. We probably not going to get no more Drake in the future. That's a hell of a collaboration. Yeah, and Gunna and Baby

was, they had a nice collab too. Bro, they was going crazy, bro. I liked Gunna and Thug better. Just me personally. That Gunna and Baby, that was a... Gunna and Thug, yes. That was a dynamic duo. Yeah, bro, they had a run, bro. They did, but bro, That Gunna and Baby, that was a... Gunna and Thug, yes. That was a dynamic duo. Yeah, but they had to run, bro. They did, but, bro, that Gunna

and Thug different, bro. But my niggas came out with that ski. But, baby, that motherfucker, bro. I mean, Gunna wrote the whole thing. But I'm just saying. You think he wrote Baby Bars? No shade. He didn't write Baby Bars.

No shade. No. No, yo. Don't just be fake. G.M. Head on that. No. Listen, I want niggas to know with this music shit.

Listen. Listen. Play it. Drip too hard. He probably wrote the chorus. Yeah, I'm sure he did. But he did not write his verse. He killed it.

Niggas got to give Quavo a little bit more. He killed Gunn on that. Niggas got to give Quavo A little bit more He killed Gunn on that Niggas gotta give Quavo A little bit more love too bro Like niggas really be behind A lot of this music That y'all niggas love bro

Oh now Quavo Gets my utmost respect You can say how you feel About his solo shit But the Migos Is one of the best rappers Of all time I fuck with Quavo

I remember when we met him And he got on the bus Pause like He had He had Tory Lanez in there. He was cooking up some shit with Tory Lanez. Niggas' pens is a lot different, y'all. That's why I kind of put... But he didn't write

Baby Verse. Listen, that's fine. I'm just telling y'all, don't be surprised if some shit come out. Because you tell niggas, like, it's weird as little yada is. We know he writes. Chantel, my nigga Don, he know. I used to say it all the time, bro. That weird shit, bro. Niggas didn't know that City Girl shit,

bro. That nigga, them niggas pins is crazy, bro. So that's a little bit more respected as an artist. Like, Lil Baby was just... Gunna was never a street nigga. Gunna was a... I mean, Lil Baby, when COVID came out and he

dropped that song, that's when his career took off. Becausena was a little baby when COVID came out and he dropped that song. That's when his career took off because he was able to play both sides. He was a piece to both people. To me, it always seemed like Gunna needed a thug or a baby. In retrospect, he was the better artist the whole time, bro.

Gunna don't got... That's my dog, y'all. He don't have a freestyle. That's my dog. so. He don't have a freestyle. That's my dog. Everybody freestyles with the heart. Those are, those are bigger records. Nobody,

nobody has a, nobody has an ice, ice baby either. Ooh. Vanilla ice. Nobody has an ice, ice baby either, bro.

Nah, bro. Everybody has an ice, ice baby records, but. What's better, ice, ice baby or tweaker?

Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah. Ice, ice baby.

Ice, ice baby or tweaker? Ice, ice baby, bro. It's forever. I mean, yeah. You're limited. I'm going to take Ice Ice Baby Ice Ice Baby or Tweaker Ice Ice Baby bro it's forever I mean and you're limited I'ma take Ice Ice Baby

yeah but I'm saying Gunna is like that first album when he got out of jail no nigga ever had an album like that niggas had songs and impact

on the album when Boosie got out when Gucci got out them niggas didn't have albums like that, bro. Nah, he came out to a thing. He the biggest ever, bro.

This nigga was in jail for 30 days. He got out, he did a song. He was sick the day he did it. Don't knock a nigga on a nigga's ass. Look, it's always niggas

that never been in jail talking about how he was only in there for a little bit. Nah, nigga, he did a song. Hey, when you tell a nigga my time is my time. What are you talking about? Booty locked up for five years on death row.

Being a murder charge against him. Gucci was supposed to stick with the county for 30 days. Gucci locked up for years. I'm just saying. They be a murderers all the time. No, man, they compare they be it. I'm not comparing niggas with me. I'm just saying.

When niggas went to jail under the Ricohs. When I got out, my album was better than all y'all. Respect, though. I be doing six monthsiggas to me. I'm just saying, when niggas went to jail under the Ricohs, when I got out, my album was better than all y'all. Respect, though. I'd be doing six months of whatever he did. Shout out to that man. More than I could do. Salute.

Yeah, for sure. Yeah, I'm funny as well. Because I was going to do that for a minute, and I was sick. Baby, my barcode would get me. I was about to cry. You was stealing? Nah. Somebody was fighting on the bus, and they just took the whole back of the bus damn

damn put y'all on the fist fight y'all niggas on Keystone for that nah that's what I was T was on the part of everything I was on the 42

T was on the 42 turn up T is an OG Rico civilian a civilian Rico is crazy I gotta be fucked up I wouldn't even fight that is crazy. I got me fucked up. I wouldn't even fight.

That is a fact, though. Nigga got his head thrown through the window and the glass came down and like scratched my face. And I ain't know. You know, you don't know.

You're like, damn, they fighting. I'm just looking. And they like, nigga, you bleeding. I'm like, damn, for real? Police came on the back

of that bus like, you with me? Yo, I was like, I ain't fighting. Everybody like, he ain't fighting everybody like he ain't fighting he's like look at his face i'm like i'm gonna cry instantly scared his head i ain't did a crime since well i'm still stealing but these hands still work these hands ain't bleeding i still get some hot cheetos

out of here teaks his hands some car max hot Cheetos out of there. Tiggs, his hands. Some CarMax hot Cheetos and a honey bun. Lethal. Booster and a honey bun. It's crazy. That's stupid. That's funny. Shout out to Drake, man.

I think the music is going to slap. I want to ask y'all a question. Halftime Super Bowl. Y'all think Kidrick is going to drop an album? Because he knew G-Index was just supposed to be

the project before the album. He's going on tour, obviously. Good time to capitalize. We've seen this done before. Do you think we got a good chance of that happening? I don't, I ain't a Kendrick fan

like that, so. I'm with T. Like, I, I, look, Kendrick makes great music, but after that Good Kid, Mad City, when he went, like, left, I kind of really,

I slowed down on paying attention. Oh, yeah. So if he did, I think if he do drop an album, that'd be cold, though. His fans is going to definitely step for him. I think he's still got a wave. Actually, I don't even think it fell off.

Nah, I'm going to say Drake, like we said, doing what he did, helped the wave continue currently with the situation. He dropped an album, Super Bowl. That's tough. Yeah. Especially if it's fire. I ain't even tap into the last joint. Ah, GNX is fire, bro. That's cool. It is. That ain't really my type of music, though. It ain't even tap into the last joint ah GNX is fire bro

that's cool it is that ain't really my type of music it ain't it's on breath it's definitely not mine like what's the head of squabble up or something

the Wiz the Wiz freestyle of squabble up is fire too that is shout out to Wiz he slid on that bitch he went crazy on that

I'm just I'm more of a future Wiz been doing freestyles he just did I think it's Plight Boy Max Or whatever his name is Respecting him

Fucking name up But he doing freestyles I think my nigga Wiz Back outside this year Hey Wiz man Drop a cushion One of his shoes too Or something

Don't do that But just drop another fire tape I don't want it to be a sequel Cause it's gonna ruin it Just bring that kind of energy back Yeah bitch Say something like that On the track man

I think my nigga back single again So it probably That energy probably there Yeah I need that Wiz man I don't like that on the track, man. I think my nigga back single again, so the energy probably there. Yeah, I need that Wiz, man. I don't like that. I think Wiz to me is like the biggest underground artist ever, though. I like the I Smoke All Day Wiz. He still smoke all day, but I don't like working out Wiz.

I remember Kendrick Lamar. 2012, Kendrick Lamar was opening up for Wiz, bro. That's how much Wiz been on. That's how long Wiz been on, bro. Bro, Wiz has been on. That's how long Wiz has been on, bro. Bro, Wiz has been doing... Rick Ross opened up for Wiz Khalifa, too, here. He did. Wiz has been doing, like, festival tours,

those type of tours. Yeah. Hard ticket sales. White, big-ass venue concerts since his inception. I have never seen an underground artist, like, grow like that. I remember he started off at IU. Not saying that was his first time on the ground, but when people

got familiar with him, he was doing college parties, bro. And for him to keep that same momentum going, I don't know necessarily if he was independent or not, but so far as underground, he the biggest. Look at all those blogger rappers we talk about. We talk about Drake. We talk

about J. Cole. We talk about Big Sean. We talk about Wiz. He that era. He's one of the only few of them who could tour big sites by himself, where he was always in the venues by himself. He was doing those type of arenas, amphitheaters. Everybody else needed kind of help. He did too, but he was always on different types of times. At the Clips, he was the only nigga

putting 20,000, nigga. Come on, bro. Drake and Wayne came, he still put more people in their dolo than them when they came here. Yeah, underrated by that one. He didn't do that in Atlanta. No, I'm just saying here. That's a different environment, too, though. Yeah, Drake and Wayne, that shit was to

the sky. Yeah, that's a different environment, too, but damn. Shout out to Wiz, though. Out of that class, he really one of the only ones, bro, that superseded like now. Because Wale was in that era. Big Sean was in thateded like now. Because Wale was in that era. Big Sean was in that era. Yeah.

Big Mio was in that era. A lot of niggas had up and down seasons, bro. He the only one. Grant C, Currency, like a lot of them. Nipsey, Dom, like a lot of them was good. It was different. It was. He was in that era, bro. He was in that era, though.

That's what happened. I ain't going to do DJ like that. Dom was in that era. All right, listen. I don't got no problem. I've never heard a Dom Kennedy song. You have, you have you have made me a song somebody gave me a song i'll play you just last bro but at the time you never played i played just like he never played me a slap that's between y'all that's y'all relationship i've been waiting for a slap i've

been telling people to comment yeah please give me bro just play yellow album bro all the way i've got some good songs, but it's just different. And you got to be in that cult following, bro. It's like, what's your boy with all the cars? Currency. Yeah, it's a difference. I fuck with Currency the long way. But it's more, I'm off the court.

Currency the spit it on. Yeah, but I'm more off the court than with Currency than on the court. I don't play Currency music. I just fuck what he do, though. Yeah, he do. He do a lot of cars. He a cool ass nigga, too, though. I like Cur what he do, though. Yeah, he do. He do that a lot. He a cool-ass nigga, too, though.

I like Currency, though. I used to fuck with him. It was crazy, because we talk about... Because he used to fuck with Wayne, though. Yeah, he was definitely... He was a No Limit, too,

for a minute. He been around for a lot. Currency, Don Tripp and all them. Lito. Don't do Tripp and Lito. That's they mans. They too literal.

They too, like... That's they mans, though. I'm not saying they ain't they mans. I'm just saying, like... You talking about rapping-wise? Yeah. They up there, they too, they too like, hey. That's they mans though. I'm not saying they ain't they mans. I'm just saying like, you talking about rapping wise? Yeah.

They up there. A little bit different for sure. But like, Dom can't touch them. Nah, he can't. Nah,

he can't. He can't. But again, they can't be in the same room. Nah, I won't say that and leave them my dog. That's why they won't be in the same.

Trent! I'll let you in detail. No, I'm just saying, it's similar to the co-fathers. I wasn't going to say that. Trent! That's your discussion. I'm just saying It's similar to the I wasn't gonna say that That's your That's your discussion

I'm just saying Listen Y'all know how Listen I got five favorite rappers Jay-Z And then Tripp like third I'm gonna go Wayne

so I started fucking with them or whatever but they used to play that shit every day bro yeah that's how we used to play that shit every day, bro. Yeah, that's all we used to play. Step up. Nah, that shit was really hard. But I used to be like,

man, these niggas ain't better than Ye. Nah, nigga, these niggas harder than Ye. Brandon Beasley, all them, they like huge shoes fans. That's all we played. Yeah, so I get it. That's tough to compare to in a situation. While we're here, I want to ask y'all. Y'all can take any three or four artists, rap, R&B, whatever. You get to make your own concert.

Who you booking? We making money off the concert? Nah, just for you. Whoever you want to have it, yo. We ain't no strategy, Bob. This is who I fuck with. Oh, I was about to say, I bring Taylor Swift. Yeah, that's why I said, you know, Beyonce. Yeah, we gonna load it up. Beyonce concert. We Beyonce.

auntie and them, I'm going to bring Mary J. Wait, you got Mary J following Webby? This is a 520 roll out, by the way. We just moved on. Yeah, it's a roll out. Different stages. Yeah, that stage better be tough.

All the way. Because I'm going to Mary J. stage before I go to Boosie. And those stages better have seats for Mary J. Them all be about to sit in cigars for that. It's standing up. Wear your church shoes. It's standing up. So, Boosie, Webby, Mary J.

Future is closing, by the way. This is a nasty concert. So look, this is for real shit. Boosie, Webby, Mary J., R. Kelly, Future is closing. So niggas ain't got cases, all types of shit. You done got R. Kelly out of jail.

You know on 2K, where you just take everything off, take the energy off and everything. You play with no fatigue. You know know, they just cut all the sliders off. I don't know how 2K is. Shout out to my nephew. That's how he beat me one day. He put all the sliders up on 99 three-pointer. So this is Malcolm Slider's concert, for sure.

What do you got, DJ? Man, that's funny as hell. I don't know what particular word like B.H. said, but I'm definitely, Chris Brown is definitely going to be involved. Definitely something on Future

being involved. Wayne is my ghost, so he definitely got me involved. I got to get an R&B act in there besides Chris Brown. That's where I'm having the self-park. I low-key would get SZA in there, but I can't put SZA

in the opening part of a concert because that's too disrespectful. But I need her involved as well. Me? My concert going to be a little weird. I'm going to open up with Beyonce. but I can't put SZA in the opening part of a concert because that's too disrespectful but I need her involved as well me my concert gonna be a little weird I'm gonna open up with Beyonce shit gonna be crazy

hoes gonna be going nuts then I'm gonna look for my street niggas Jeezy gonna come out okay we gonna go crazy the Beyonce fans are going to leave

as soon as they see Jeezy on that stage but respect we want the ghetto hoes left afterwards all the pretty little Sadidi girls get out. Respect. And the community probably gonna leave.

So then we're gonna have Jeezy. Having Beyonce open up for Jeezy is already... So we're clearly not making no money. No. All this is cool. Oh, no, the money is... I'm filthy when Beyonce open it up. Now, it depends on however you put your flyer up. Yeah, Beyonce is opening up. Now, independent of however you put your flyers. Yeah, Beyonce opening up.

So, I have Jeezy. And then, you know, I got... I have Future. Gotta do a Jeezy and Future back for the street niggas. And then,

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.

In this episode, I'm joined by Anjali Sood, CEO of Tubi, for a conversation that's anything but ordinary. We dive into the competitive world of streaming, how she's turning so-called niche into mainstream gold, connecting audiences with stories that truly make them feel seen.

What others dismiss as niche, we embrace as core. It's this idea that there are so many stories out there, and if you can find a way to curate and help the right person discover the right content, the term that we always hear from our audience is that they feel seen. Get a front row seat to where media, marketing, technology, entertainment, and sports collide. And hear how leaders like Anjali are carving out space and shaking things up a bit in the most crowded of markets.

They'd be like, for real, man. Every time we used to take him to come fuck with you, bro, in the studio, everywhere in Atlanta, shout out to Lex Luger. Took that nigga to go fuck with Lex, bro. He like, bro, I ain't never seen nobody do these one takes like this, bro. That nigga was cold, right? Used to shred big shot. That nigga just didn't want to be a rapper, bro. We couldn't. I think niggas was just, we was before our time.

I think that nigga should have ghost wrote for me. I would have did that shit. I would have been Miles. I would have been Mixtape Miles. And Lil Will, I can't wait till we go to a goddamn all-star. I got something to say about that, too. What? How Lil Will tried to overcharge for the Beano verse.

Oh. He tried to charge Beano? Yeah, he said a crazy feature price. He was just trying to fuck with Lou Will. He put a ticket on there? He put a ticket on that bitch. Lou? Lou the gang. We love Lou. Shout out to Spain. Well, yeah, I'm on that. That's it.

He put a ticket on Beano? Yeah, I forgot to say something when we was in ATL fucking with him because we was having a good time we still have a good time but I was like I wanted to ask him

if he remembered that he told us a crazy price damn yeah he was rapping then yeah damn that's crazy he had a song with Meek Mill

and it was hot we was like damn that'd be hard if Lil Will come and I think nigga you probably don't even remember it's crazy you don't remember

everything you had asked him he like you was like bro Lil will said it's this for the ah he did it for the 16th hardest hardest artist nigga in goddamn the midwest for sure oh that nigga had bars bro i ain't even uh i ain't because he my nigga bro when i first he wasn't even my homeboy like that the first time i heard him i said nigga you rap like this when I seen you sitting in the studio I said he fuck with this

this nigga had a bar he had you in the suit nah bro this nigga is cold this is when me and him got close I said this nigga can flow bro

like he really got like nigga he like Wayne my favorite artist I'm like bro you rap better than a lot of people every time we brought him

around somebody they'd be like where is this nigga from, man? But his flows and matches get up. Like, you would see him, he'd be like, if we was 5'20", now,

on my mama, we'd have a label. Oh, my God. And we'd have the biggest. That's a fact. And we'd have put K out in the 360 deal. Yeah.

All the guys used to do gear and everything. Nigga like, hold on, we just need a change. We started, we just, we just need to change. We just, we got a throwback moment. Throwback Thursday moment, y'all.

Where that nigga at, man? I know he's still correct. I mean, he got back decision. You got back

decision now. You would have had to choose between K.I. and Freaky Mike. That's your first artist. I would have been K.I. K.I. Freaky Mike is my

artist just by default. My association. Yeah, my association. He's still the game. But we really had a million-dollar nigga. No cap. That nigga was nice, bro.

Shout out to 360 Dills, man. Damn, that's funny. That's crazy. What a time period. Listen, man, we in the midst of the NBA trade deadline. I want to ask y'all. We see a lot of situations where people are like, nah, we ain't going to go to state. But we see a lot of superstars that we grew up with

or in the era that you played with as well phasing out. Is it a new NBA now? It's looking like a lot of people ain't fucking with, like we said, don't say thirsty, calling, trying to get somebody. You got other people trading for KD. KD like, nah, I ain't fucking with it. Trying to get rid of Jimmy Butler. All of our stars is getting to a point to where they moving

toward the end of their career. It's just not a thing no more. I don't think nobody really thirsts to go play with KD and him no more. It'll be cool. But it ain't really a thing. These young niggas

is turning. John Morant like, nigga, this my league. Anthony Edwards like, nigga, fuck y'all. Nigga, I want to bust your ass. You know what I mean? Aaron Fox, all them,

they ready to go at these niggas. It ain't no friendly shit. It's like probably the younger players I feel like they want to, all them, they ready to go at these niggas. It ain't no friendly shit. It's like probably the younger players, I feel like, they want to play with them, but they ain't really like the superstar young niggas. They don't care, bro. Yeah, that's what I want to ask you about, especially you, Tig. You look

at a lot of young teams like the Rockets, which is like, yeah, these big names available, but we ain't sneezing. We're going to rock with our young talent. And you look at all the teams that's growing, look at the Nuggets in that situation. Yeah, that made a couple moves, but everybody else is like, we just rocking with who we drafted. Like, we not star-powered on any shit that situation. Yeah, they made a couple moves, but everybody else is like, we just rocking with who we drafted. Like, we not, Star Parade don't mean shit to us. Yeah, it just, I love KD.

We love Bron. We love Steph. I mean, age, you know, getting older is undefeated, man. For all the time, it's going to get the best of all of us. And that's all it is. And I mean, KD, Bron, Steph, they still playing at a high level. But, yeah, like you said, these young dudes don't care about that. They trying to get to the chicken, bro. You can make $400 million on a max deal now.

They not worried about if KD on my team or not. It's like, nigga, I'm trying to kill. I'm not trying to pass it to him. Nah, that's a fact, bro. So nobody really care about that no more. So it's just a different league. And rightfully so. I mean, that's how we felt about the old heads.

Like, I was tired of playing with Joe. Like, man, shit, I ain how we felt about the old heads. Like, I was tired of playing with Joe. Like, man, shit, I ain't trying to pass it to Joe. Damn, running to the corner for this nigga. Yo, move around, nigga. Violet Tom's undefeated. When Joe went to Brooklyn, he was like, finally? Yeah, I was

mad at first because it was my first year of starting. It was going to be my third year. He like, I'm going to Brooklyn. I was at his crib. He was like, I'm going first year of starting. It was going to be my third year. So he like, I'm going to Brooklyn. I was at his crib. He was like, I'm going to Chicago or Brooklyn. Oh, he was going to Chicago. He was about to sign with Chicago or something. Excuse me.

In my second year, he ended up coming back to the Hawks, signing a big deal. So my third year was going to be my chance starting like full time. And he got traded to Brooklyn. And I went over his crib. I'm like, damn, they traded. You know what I mean? I get to play with a real point guard.

And at first, I was like, damn, man. My first year starting, Joe ain't going to be there. It's going to be kind of hard then. When I went home, Terrell was like, thank God. You don't got to pass to that nigga and run to the corner. And I thought about it. I was like, hell yeah. Like, what?

Fuck that. I don't want to pass to this. Watch this nigga dribble 1,000 times. Fuck that. So I got hype. But Joe was still my dog. So it was different. got hype. But you know, Joe was still my dog. So it was different. But as far as hooping,

I was hype as fuck. Like, yeah, I ain't got to worry about giving this nigga the ball all day. And it was more, it probably was funner. You know what I mean? Yeah.

Yeah, that make a lot of sense. Especially like, even, I mean, not to keep talking about this trade, but I'm still surprised that that deal happened behind the tables like that or behind the curtain because everybody's on Missing eBay.

Everybody's talking about shit. So for a deal like that to happen, it's just like, all right, we traded superstars like this. Cool. Like you said, all the young niggas is like, shit, I'm just trying to get to a franchise where I can just get these guys up, bro. Man, like I seen Kenyon Martin talking about his son. Like, we just want to hoop, bro. We just want to get a chance to play. And that's what young niggas is on now.

And I wish I had that kind of mindset when I first came in the league. Because I was all for trying to learn from the beds and you need old dudes to teach you. Like, man, fuck that. Getting a chance to play, that's the best learning lesson. Go out there and get a chance to hoop. You can figure it out yourself. These old niggas might not have the same

gift that you got. Luckily, you was in a good situation, though. Yeah, I mean, it worked out. But I'm just saying, as a young dude, I want to get around some vets that's going to teach me the game. Nah, fuck that. You want to get around some vets who ain't playing. And they can teach you the game. Not some vets that's

playing that's going to teach you. Nah, I want some sad niggas that's OGs in the game that don't get in. But I get to play. That's what I want. I want Taj Gibson. Yeah, right. Old head at the end of the bench, talk to him, but he ain't trying to compete with you. He ain't trying to give you no bad advice

to take your minutes. I be trying to think of players, I'm like, damn, who is a nigga like Teague that just went from scoring a dub to running to the corner to pick a roll? Type shit. I hear you, Dave. We talking about fresh out of college to the NBA to pick a role type shit every day. Well, you talking about fresh out of college to the

NBA? Yeah. I can say that. Anybody who got picked beyond number 10, you damn near go through that. If you top 10, you get a chance to play really, but after top 10, you run to the corner. Look at Reed Shepard.

He went number three. There you go. Okay. He didn't get no tick. G-league him, all type of shit. Damn, Rob doing him. You're going to say Rob is a perfect example as well. It's a bunch of niggas.

You go through that. But like Rob, all right, I want to learn from some niggas. I don't want to learn from Mike right now. Mike still play. Mike a cool nigga. But I want Mike to be at the end of the bench telling me how to get better. I don't want Mike starting and

getting his shit off. It's how you run the pick and roll, young fella. Fuck that. Tell me when we go to practice and your ass don't get in the game. Talk to me during timeouts. I'm talking to Mike. I'm talking to Mike Bivy. He in the game. He like, you see that pass? You got to be able to make that pass. Well, I don't get a chance to make it. Not get in the bench. I'm talking to Mike. I'm talking to Mike Bivy. He in the game. He like, you see that pass, you got to be able

to make that pass. Well, I don't get a chance to make it. Not get in the game. Rich Red. So, fuck that.

Give me Tyve Gibson as my OG. For sure. I think the league is going to be in a good space. I think, obviously,

once LeBron moves on, that's going to be the initial hit that's going to change his things. But, with so much young talent, he seems to be dedicated

and also being cheap as hell, too. That's another thing that plays a factor. They ain't all about young development as much as they say they are, but they're trying to change things. But with so much young talent, these teams being dedicated and also being cheap as hell, too, that's another thing that plays a factor. They ain't all about young development as much as they say they are, but they're all about staying under that second tax apron. So you'll see a lot more teams probably more competitive. Maybe not the same superstar power at first, but it's still going to be good basketball for sure. When y'all think

Brown retire? Over or under two years, which I got. Under. Under two years? Can he retire next year? Probably, bro. I think he's trying to compete to win before he retires. I think LeBron just trying to put himself in a position to be a team owner. If the Lakers get good and he stay, I think he stay longer.

I think he just trying to put his scoring record so high that he never be in jeopardy. Yeah, because that man keep having 28. Yeah, I think nigga keep having 28. Yeah, I think... 25, 30. I think he just trying to like put his stats so crazy that it just looks...

Like Michael Jordan can't compete. Like, you know what I mean? Yeah. No, I can see that. I don't think he think he going to win another championship in LA. I don't think he think that. So I've been on my conspiracy shit

going down the rabbit hole because it's my favorite thing to do around trade room or time. I definitely think that the next six months for the Lakers, I've seen this my conspiracy shit going down the rabbit hole because it's my favorite thing to do around trade room or time. I definitely think that the next six months for the Lakers, I've seen this a lot of different places. I don't think it's the most important, but how they deal the rest of the season. I think that's very going to be important to what LeBron does, because if they fuck around in jail and they get a little bit of wiggle room and add another team, that's going to be a team that can compete. Obviously, we're not expecting to win the championship, but LeBron can still play at a high level. It ain't got to be Batman no more.

Batman just pulled up. Yeah, I think. But I definitely think he's trying to get that Vegas team. Yeah, I think he's trying to do that, but I also just think he's trying to put his stats so great. Like, he's trying to get top three in assists or something. Like, he's just trying to do shit. Like, he's the greatest player ever.

That's what he's trying to solidify himself at. Man, I got my son in the NBA and my son, I watched my son hit his first three-pointer, man. Y'all can't say that to him. Yeah, but like,

you see every time he do something, he be like, this is 40. Like, you know what I mean? Everything, like, he great,

but he make sure y'all know, like, I'm doing shit that's never been done. I'm like, I'm unbelievable. You know what I mean? Yeah,

we might be dead before another Bron walk through the league. Nobody ever gonna, there'll never be another Bron. Like, there's never Nobody ever going to. There'll never be another Bron. There's never going to be another Mike. There'll never be another LeBron. I don't care.

Wimby won't be Bron. Wimby can be the most unique player ever. He's a freak. He still won't compete with Bron. He won't do nothing Bron did. Won't come close. Now, that's an interesting point there. We talk about some of these legends going on and moving on to different spaces

probably won't see another KD we'll have top players that play like him but we probably won't see another KD I never see another KD not a big that shoot that well off the dribble you'll see another KD before Brown yeah but you will never see another Brown that is not happening

somebody stay that healthy that long never and when he's a freak and we will never see he will not never he's nothing on Brown stay that healthy that long? Mm-hmm. Never. And Wimby's a freak. And we will never see, he will not, never. He's nothing on Bron.

He just don't have the impact. And hype is different now these days, too. Mm-hmm. Hype is different. Pressure is different. Pressure ain't as heavy as Bron. Mm-mm. Nobody else will have

the responsibilities or pressure that LeBron has had. Bron saved the NBA. Yeah. And they're not expecting Wimby to... They're expecting Wimby to advance the NBA.

Yeah. Global marketing. Global. Yeah, that's it. But we'll never see another LeBron. Because without LeBron, bro, I mean, I love Kobe.

Kobe is that nigga. But the league was relying on LeBron James. Yeah, Kobe was cold. We not like, as a basketball head, he like Kobe was cold, but he couldn't carry the league. Like, Kobe could not have been the face of the league.

In the unfortunate time period when LeBron became the face of the league, that's when the allegations was getting done. LeBron brought being cool to the league. He like, man, y'all niggas is too uptight around this bitch. Yeah, Kobe was more of a, like Jordan made it cool. Jordan had a personality that was fly. Yeah.

Like you knew, because we couldn't, we didn't have social media. Yeah. So we didn't know if he was an asshole or not. Right. All we know was the commercials, the way he played, the dunks, the shoes was fire. We all wanted to be like Mike. We didn't know he was an asshole right

as Kobe started getting better and better you start hearing stories you get more media coverage all this shit his Adidas was ass

like he couldn't we wasn't fucking with them not them crazy A's we like they ain't niggas wore them off the strength

that it was Kobe niggas wasn't looking forward to them we weren't the moon boots and stuff like that we wore them but it wasn't that it was Kobe niggas wasn't looking forward to them we were the moon boots and stuff like that we wore them but it wasn't like we was

it was just Kobe the vibe wasn't the same but when Bron came he on high school his high school game on TV he got the headband his energy

he fucking with Jay-Z he fucking with A.I. got the Hummer nigga we all could relate to that we all like nigga that's us they had Bron at ABC

shout out to my nigga Tyne at ABC. You know what I'm saying? That was lit. That was lit. Kobe, we just didn't feel like we could relate to him. Yeah. We didn't. And Kobe was hella serious, too.

Kobe was like, nigga, you got to work hard to be here. Yeah, and he also, his dad was in the league. Yeah. So it was like, we knew you was born to play basketball. Like, not saying that he didn't have to work hard. No,

obviously he worked hard, but we knew like, damn, you came from. Yeah. A who? Wow, yeah.

A single parent, his mama nigga got the hummer in high school getting trouble. We like, oh, he a trench baby?

Yeah. Nigga ghetto? Absolutely. All my friends in high school. Yeah. So we like, yeah,

so we fucked with that more than for him to, his swag, the way he he play headbands and shit. Like, Kobe ain't had no accessories, nigga. He did. Niggas didn't want the Kobe nappy fro, though. Niggas was all tapped in with that. Nah, nigga, shh.

Hey, good. We talk about bro a lot on the show. Bro had that bitch in seventh grade. Oh, my mama. Old Kobe package was laid. But so far, it's like the impact. Niggas feel like they can relate

to just Brian. Whole story. Fuck his game. Niggas never try to hoop like Brian. It's just like, bro, he is a personable

motherfucker. Yeah, I feel like I feel like I could be Brian because they was mad. Now you was tweaking, but niggas was mad because he was a hell

of a basketball player. But I was tweaking. Yeah, I listen. I know I was tweaking. Yeah. Listen, trust me. I know I was tweaking. Yeah, but. I just felt like, nigga, damn. You hooped in threes, too.

Yeah, nigga, everything. I thought I could, like, Brian. I was like, damn, Brian. I could be like Brian. Yeah. That nigga from, like, Ohio. I'm from Indianapolis, nigga. Why don't you get a fade?

Why you had to like Mike Berry? I thought I could be Iverson, too. Oh, okay. Well. Iverson was my first. That's ary? I thought I could be Iverson too. Okay, well. Iverson was my first. That's a crazy blip. I'm saying Iverson, my older brother put it in my head like, you short. You have to play like this nigga.

I didn't even know who Allen Iverson was. I thought it was a fake name. Damn. I swear to my brother, he used to make up nicknames all the time. Yeah. So he used to call niggas J-Dawg, just make up niggas like he was EBC or something. So he was like, nigga, you going to play like Iverson. I'm like, nigga, ooh, that's hard.

Where you get that nickname from? He like, nigga, you don't know how Iverson is? I'm like, nah. He like, that's a real nigga. For context, like nigga, how old were you? Nigga, it's when Iverson was at Georgetown. I was 96. Oh, okay.

He do this crossover and that's how i started watching so then he get drafted i'm like damn i want to be like this nigga he get braids braids irison and brian is a crazy blend but then i'm saying we got high school you see brian yeah and you like that nigga ain't too far off from my age nigga like yeah because brian your eighth grade year yeah it's like yeah nigga i could be b off from my age nigga like yeah because braun your eighth grade year

yeah it's like nigga i could be braun nigga if i grow like you know i'm saying shit like that i just didn't grow so that's when sebastian when i seen sebastian it was like yeah you were yeah you was more derrick swash than no i was better than him i was better than him you was better than derrick swash i was just from Indiana. Talk your shit. T. Bro, I'm telling you. I went from... I ain't gonna lie, bro. I'm my mama, bro.

I love you, bro. You was raw, bro. But just to say it like that, I just... I'll give it to you, but I don't like how you said it. I'm gonna give you this. Darius Washington,

if you watching, bro, I swear to God. And shout out to my nigga Sauce Tyrone. We used to be on that watching, bro, I swear to God, and shout out to my nigga Sauce, Tyrone, everybody. We used to be on that shit, bro. That nigga Darius Washington was special. When he went to go play Bassey, that was a big fucking deal, bro.

I would've killed him, bro. I was just from Indianapolis. I went to a high school nigga where everybody on the team was fucking raw. Yeah. Like, we ain't had no bum niggas. Nah, that's true. These niggas played with niggas

that was ass. Everybody on my... Nigga, eighth grade, our team was the number two team in the nation. That was right behind St. Vincent, St. Mary's. Yeah.

So, when I got there as a freshman, we had six, seven niggas going deep. We had an NBA... We had Courtney Lee on our team as a freshman. I can't remember who's on D. Washington, but Shabash had some niggas on his team, too. NBA, we had Courtney Lee on our team. I can't remember who's on the Washington, but Shabash has some niggas on his team too.

But I get it. I get it. They had a nigga that went to Villanova. We had two NBA niggas when I walked in school. I was right in Courtney Lee. But I understand that.

You talking about teams, I'm talking about player versus player, bro. Derrick Washington used to hold his own, bro. He was a little nigga, bro. 30 a night, bro. I'm not saying that, bro.

I'm saying I went to a team and a school where nigga you had to show the bar everybody yeah the system was the system was nice san antonio spur so i didn't know like i was nice because our team didn't allow you to be nice like eric gordon as a freshman averaged 20 yeah you know i mean we knew like damn that nigga a problem. Like, but I used to think I was so far off of him because I didn't average 20. I'm like, damn, I'm only getting eight, nigga, nine. But I didn't realize, nigga, I only play 14 minutes.

Nah, I forget. So then when I realized it, like, I go to ABCD camp and I'm ranked zero. I'm not ranked at all. And I go from not ranked to 50 in a weekend. I'm like, hold on. And I go from not ranked to 50 in a weekend. I'm like, hold on. It's not that good. No, you did your thing.

I'm just saying. I'm like, imagine if I wasn't. I played for a mom and pop AAU team. Shout out to No Excuses. And I played with all my friends that I grew up around. I play on a one AAU circuit with Indy Heat one year. Go to ABCD camp. I go from

never ranked to 50. I think also when you ask you, if you would've got to go play in New York City like the way those guards play, the way you play, the fact that you could shoot

and dribble just as good as them, you would've had crazy exposure. I think my nigga would've excelled out there. I'm just saying, I ain't sleeping on Rondo,

Darius Washington, Bassey, what's my other nigga? Who else I'm thinking about? on Rondo, Darius Washington, Bassey. What's my other nigga? Who else I'm thinking about? But Rondo was fire, though. Like, them niggas was cold back then in my high school. Just high school alone, nigga. Raymar Smith and them, they was nice, bro. I played Raymar Smith, though. Like, they was nice.

I'm not saying they wasn't nice, but it say something about it when it happened. Like, Edwin Rios? No! No, I'm not. I'm getting, but that's what we talk about. I gave you that out the gate. I said, bro, you was always good at Edwin.

No, I'm not taking Edwin. I'm not taking Edwin. I'm just telling you, Edwin Rios and him? Nah. Because Corey Lushen had a name, but you was better than them for sure. Yeah, because when I played him, I'm like, nah. Because Corey Luce and them had a name, but you was better than them for sure. Yeah, because when I played them, I'm like, nah. I get that, bro. That's crazy. Corey Fisher, I was like, nah.

I used to think that, but I seen, but they was number 10. They was, absolutely. Number 10, I'm like, damn. But shout out to them, they was good players, but I used to just think they was so much better because you used to read about them. Yeah. And then when I seen Mike Conley, I'm like, Mike is cold.

Mike averaging 11 and 7. I'm like, these niggas averaging 40 points? These niggas not better than Mike? Everyone else was down near Austin Rivers in Florida back in the day. It's different. That's why you said that with Mike too because everybody was just like, when you see everybody else, it's just like, oh yeah, Mike is

fucking way better than them and he'd be chilling. Like, if he really was on that, Mike would really be right out there. No, I think bro would have been, like, I just,

I did like the energy. I'm just telling you. Teague and Lincoln high? But I, I wouldn't, I wouldn't have been, I would have killed New York because I,

like, niggas that killed New York, like Kimba Cole, he killed, them niggas is cold, but the ones that killed, killed, they were really good.

Sebastian's a really good player. Lance Stevenson's really good. Sebastian was thang in high school. Yeah, Kimba's really good. But like, I played against some other dudes that was from New York and I was just like, they famous? Like, Paul Harris, bro.

6'4", 215, bro. Cold. Johnny Flynn, cold. You should dominate niggas, bro. But them niggas are the niggas that went in. Like, Paul Harris was an undersized player, but he was cold. But Johnny Flynn was cold. He went to the league top five pick.

Like, I get it. The niggas that was cold was cold, but it was some niggas that had a lot of hype that it was just okay. Oh, yeah, right. Yeah. Damn, I'm about to have some nerd shit from back in the day.

My fault, y'all. No, I love when y'all get on that type of song, though. Yeah, you definitely deserve the You're right. Damn, I'm about to have some nerd shit from back in the day in my fall show. Nah, I love when y'all get on that type of song, though. Yeah, you definitely deserve the credit, bro. A lot of people are like, I'm looking for it. I'm just saying, like...

You're not looking for it, but you deserve it, bro. But I would have had a good time against Foles, against Darius Washington. I would have felt very comfortable. I don't think you would have. I'm saying this.

Especially my senior year. Teague would have got off his shit. Bro, Darius Washington going to kill, too. I ain't saying he. I played Eric Gore. He was cold, bro. I played Eric Gore my senior year Teague would've got off his shit bro Darius Washington gonna kill too I ain't saying I played Eric Gore I played Eric Gore

my senior year Darius Washington was nowhere near Eric Gore no hell no that's a different prospect that's what I'm saying I was very comfortable in that game

no I don't think you was scared I'm just saying I don't like your energy like no I would've busted his ass he would've got

his shit back he might've killed too I never said I was gonna stop him but he was going he was number one he would've busted his ass, bro. I would've. He'd have got his shit back. He might have killed two. I never said I was going to stop him, but he was going. He was number one. He would have left, like, that little nigga a problem.

That number 80. That nigga a damn man. Yeah, little nigga with the funky braces. All right. You know what I mean? That nigga special. All right, yeah. Shout out to D-Wash, man.

I hope you're doing well, whatever you're doing right now, bro. Love. Yeah, shout out to him, though. For sure, man. Hey, people ask me in the comments, be here on your chef's I want to ask

it's a Super Bowl party what should people whip up they got guests coming over man what's your idea of Super Bowl situation well depending on the build of your family

always sliders always rotel dip for sure always chicken wings any type of assorted chip is good is the baby shark meatballs acceptable For sure. Always. Chicken wings. Any type of assorted chip is good. Is the baby shark meatballs acceptable at the Super Bowl party?

If they're there. Teagan and them had some one year. I don't even eat that shit, but they had some one year that was pretty good. Paul, you don't fuck with the baby shark meatballs? Nah, I don't eat that shit, bro. But the bro and them had some one time at his house at the old 520 that was pretty good. So shit like that, bro. Just finger foods, really. some more time at his house at the old 520 that was pretty good. So shit like that, bro. Just finger foods, really. Any finger foods, you know what I mean? Fruit,

you know what I mean? Keep your pH right, you know what I mean? Eat a pineapple hoe, you know what I mean? Jonas Valanciunas went to Sacramento King. Yeah, for a second round pick. How do you feel about that? They're about to have the Lithuanian national team frontcourt. It's him and Sabonis, I guess. They raw, bro.

You fuck with that? Hell yeah. I'm not mad at it at all. I like that. They might be trying to keep that team together then. Okay. They starting five.

Damn near all right. You got Malik Monk at the one. Zach Levine at the two. D-Ball at the three. Them two at the four and five. Damn, we got no shooting. Besides,

I mean Malik and Zach, but... That's enough. Two bigs. Well, actually, now about to come off the bench because Keegan Murray don't got no shooting. Besides, I mean, Malik and Zach, but... That's enough. Two bigs. Well, actually, now, about to come off the bench because Keegan Murray's

still going to start. Yeah. I like Valanchunas off the bench. Most definitely. Yeah. You think the Kings still trying to have aspirations

of doing something this season or they just saving face? I mean, getting Valanchunas, I mean, they going for it. Because I don't know why you would get him

if he was trying to, like, blow shit up or tanking or whatever you want to call it. But to get Valanchunas and Zach Levine, y'all going for it. Because I don't know why you would get him if you was trying to blow shit up or tanking or whatever you want to call it. But to get Valanchunas and Zach Levine, y'all going for it. Y'all going for it. I see people sort of say, damn, the Kings and Starcy for a first round exit.

They're going to do whatever they want to to get the playoffs and just lose. Nah, shouts to the Kings. Yeah, this trade deadline has been crazy. A lot of stuff we thought was going to happen has not happened yet or may not happen. But we also didn't think that Luka was going to be traded. Also with the Lakers, I've seen they said Maxie Cleaver may not step on the court for them at all.

He might be in other pieces going somewhere else. They need a big, bad... I thought they should have been... I mean, for second-round picks, I don't know why they wasn't in the Valachunas conversations. But I don't know if that fits Luka's gameplay. Like you said, you need a two-foot jumper with him. I don't think Valachunas is at the point in his career where he catching hoops anymore.

Good pickup. For the Kings for sure. I ain't mad at it at all. Good pickup. I thought it was spooky. I thought they was going to start tanking for real, but it seemed like they still trying to

make a little push for something. That's a decent ass team, bro. That's not no Washington River squad, bro. Nah, bro. That's not no Washington River squad, bro. No, bro, that's it. Because losing De'Aaron Fox is a huge hit to your organization. Most definitely. So they still got some valuable pieces.

I'll fuck with it. They got a 2K team. That's a team I want to hoop in a 2K. Everybody is a capable win who can shoot and drop to the basket. But in real life, I don't know how that look. Before we get out of here, trade deadline will It would be a little bit more before it drops. I got any other ideas, conspiracies on what may happen, which I think should happen.

Does Jimmy stay in Miami? Yeah, I don't think he's going to get traded. Okay. Yeah, just sit down, bro. Yeah, I think it's quiet. But it could be a blockbuster. All I'm saying is that Brad Bill said he cool. Yeah, Brad Bill.

Shout out to my homie Black Trey. He was just like, it's crazy that Brad Bill turned into Devin George. If you know, you know. Oh, yeah. Locking the trades. Yeah, I'm cool, bro. Yeah, fuck all that. But they also said it's a possibility, wild theory, that KD could go to Miami for Jimmy.

I don't like that. I don't think it's going to happen, bro. I don't even like that, though, for KD. He might stay where he like. Miami fire if he go there. They lit, but there ain't no championship. I think he just want to win, bro. I think it's better than the Phoenix team.

Oh, he go to Miami. I'm shitty. Because I can fuck the East up. Yeah, I think they better than the Phoenix team. And I think they can compete. They are better than the Phoenix. They can't beat Boston. Shit, they got a better chance than that Phoenix team of beating somebody.

But hypothetically, he go to Miami. Who wins in the series between the Bucs and the Heat? Oh, the Heat. It's a good series. It ain't. That's tough. But I don't even think the Suns going to do anything. I don't see it.

But he might just be comfortable out there. Like, I'm cool. I'm just... Bro, I'm chilling, bro. I don't got time for Pat Riley trying to do body fat. I would not want to go pay for Pat. Not at my big age, bro. Yeah, I ain't trying to do body fat.

I ain't trying to be... Even though I ain't got nothing. ...taking up the shoot around. He said, even though I ain't got nothing. Yeah, he probably like, I ain't got time for that shit, man. Testing KD for body fat is crazy. If Patyan do that he's a real psychopath yeah you see he uh he licensed out the three uh the three p to the uh chiefs so y'all can tap in man that's fire go home bro you through it's a new age bro home and enjoy your life bro enjoy the mob bro y'all need to

I'm getting with the game, bro. Said Pat got a couple more free agents in. Yeah, bro. I don't want to be hanging around these entitled ass niggas, bro. These niggas is entitled, bro.
