You know we do with Cubans.
Oh, okay.
Oh, Miami thing.
So we're going to start there.
What?
Oh, Lord.
Yeah, yeah.
Rip the hometown. Come on, hold it down.
Miami 305, Dade County.
Who the best artist in my career?
It depends.
Well, for you.
You talking about right now, back in the day.
Whoever you wanna go with.
As of right now, I like Rick Ross.
I'm rolling.
That's a solid pick.
That's a good pick.
Accusations!
Like all around though, not just rapping.
He a hustler.
And he motivates, so he ain't like he stingy
with it. We always love that.
For sure.
Lemon pepper.
Extra. Nasty.
That's crazy. Extra.
Rick Ross, ain't nobody else
really, I ain't gonna say nobody else really from Dade County,
but that's a pretty trick.
It's a distance number one.
Yeah, but Trick wasn't Ross, though.
But if you say back in the daytime, Trick would be probably my choice.
For sure.
I would say Uncle Luke.
I'm going to go with Pitbull.
Man, what?
Man, what?
You know, his...
That's universal.
No, that's true.
Daddy ain't here. Yeah.
You gonna bring my wife into this?
No, I'm not. I'm just saying.
No, no, no. Shout out to P for educating my nigga
on new music and, you know, broadening your horizons.
For real, bro. I'm proud of you. For real.
He is, bro. He is.
But when was the last time you was somewhere like,
turn on that pitbull?
Hear it on DJ. on the 520 we don't we don't go nowhere to listen to people the miami the miami clubs bump not a miami bump miami clubs do bump pitbull though okay
see look now you're disrespecting it's more it's more, it's more, I can't say that. No, we on the show now.
The clubs that have a broader, you know, audience.
Go ahead and say the Spanish clubs, bro.
Audience.
No, shout out to y'all.
You know what I mean?
Because you're a part of it.
I'm Dominican.
Jeffro.
Everybody, though.
Dominican too.
Cubans, everybody.
They bump Pitbull still.
I fuck with you, bro.
You know, I don't agree with you much, but Pitbull is.
I don't really like Pitbull, but like
I'd probably go with Trick Daddy, though.
That's what I'm saying. If you're talking
about now or back in the day, you're going to go with Trick.
But when you go to the career, you ain't got
your windows down. You ain't never heard no damn Pitbull.
No. Nah, I mean
if I'm going to give me... Flo Rida, though.
Yeah, Flo Rida. Shout out to Flo Rida.

But, you know what I'm saying?
Special guest.
We got to talk about it.
Obviously, we know you from 305.
Yeah.
What got you into basketball?
Like, what was your first time getting a pill in your hands?
Honestly, it wasn't even basketball.
It was football.
Like, I really do love football.
That's some Florida shit.
Yeah.
We love football in Miami
Like that's what we breed
Mainly football players
Versus basketball players
But
You know as you get older
Getting hit by a dude
That shit hurts
That's crazy
You know what I mean
And I play optimist
With shoulder pads
Like
Damn
Yeah all that
It wasn't basketball dog
What position did you play
Receiver
Oh they was trying to kill you.
Oh, they were?
If you came across the middle, bro,
I probably would have floored you.
You got to, because I'm a girl.
Like, think about it.
If I catch the ball on you,
oh, you got to do a ball by a girl.
And if we have this saying,
if, like, you go deep, they blue,
and, like, you get blue by a girl,
we talk about you all week.
So, like, for me, you know you all week so like for me you know they
had it out for me anytime i i got on the field so they have a women's league though you can play
optimist as a girl when you young like that oh wow yeah you start playing well i was 13 13 damn
oh yeah you damn near veteran yeah you was i would say you damn real to play football at 13
as a woman
Like with the dudes
He was on a powder puff team
Niggas was
Niggas really hitting
Little league
Well you gotta think about
The generation now
Versus our generation
These motherfuckers
Coming out seven feet
Yeah
But you played football
In Florida
Yeah
Yeah but what I'm telling you
Is at the time
My height
Was cool
Right now
Like these motherfuckers
Popping out six five
Seven foot right now.
Yeah,
13.
Yeah,
you a vet.
Yeah.
All right.
You better than me.
I quit at 10.
And you playing tackle football.
Yeah,
tackle.
We got to think about,
like,
I ain't really getting hit
like a running back.
Like,
I'm just running routes.
If the ball come my way,
of course,
I'm going to get,
the most I'm going to do
is get hit out of bounds.
Get a little stiff on me.
But I'm going to get off the line.
Ain't nobody going to stiff on me.
I'm going to get off the line. I'm quick to stiff on me I'm going to get off the line
I'm quick
I'm shifty
oh really
oh yeah you ain't going to jam me
oh
yeah
I wish I had footage of like
back in the day
but we ain't
I'm sure you
I'm sure you was nice
but you stopped at 13
for a reason
oh
you know it was
I'm going to tell you why
like what you just said
if I come across the middle
I'm like
that's exactly what happened.
Blindside.
That was a loud day.
A slant route.
This is a regular slant route.
And like I did not see, you know what I mean,
as soon as I caught it.
Wow.
Damn.
Immediately.
Breath gone, everything.
You hit the locker room.
Done up.
I ain't coming back, coach.
I'm done with this shit.
Sound about right.
Yeah.
Leave the pads on the floor.
So you start hooping late. Yeah. I mean, with this shit. Sound about right? Yeah. Leave the past on the front.
So you start hooping late.
Yeah.
I mean, not really late.
As a kid, you know you play, you run track, you play softball, baseball.
I did everything with guys.
I never really played with girls.
Oh, okay.
Up until middle school. I didn't even play middle school basketball because I didn't want to play with girls because
where I'm from, the girls didn't play basketball.
If they did, they wasn't that good.
So I want to go play with the guys.
And, you know, that's where I got my toughness from, honestly.
Damn, that's interesting.
So obviously you got to high school and you had to do it.
AAU.
AAU was, ah.
AAU is what kind of, like, let me know, like, damn, girls is really good.
Because I had never left out of Florida to play basketball.
So my first time playing AAU to go travel was in Ohio.
Got my ass bust by some girls.
Cause I thought,
you know,
I'm playing with dudes and the girls that I'm with that's in Florida ain't
that good.
So me playing with the dudes,
I'm like,
I'm busting dudes.
If I go anywhere else,
I'm going to bust the girls.
Shit me.
Got my ass toe up.
You know,
any of the girls that killed you?
At the time,
I think the first person that I can,
I can remember,
I played against Skylar Diggins in Ohio.
Yeah, she fun.
Yeah, she fun.
And gave it to me.
Handed it out to me.
For the crib.
She played with dudes too
growing up though.
Yeah, handed it out to me.
I'm like,
hold on.
Reality check,
like, got my ass.
Man.
Damn.
Like,
like,
all that tough and
talking,
you know,
Miami folks outside
when you playing on concrete,
you talk a lot of shit.
Yeah, for sure.
Man, listen.
Wop, wop, bucket, bucket, bucket.
None of that talking phase.
That's the one thing that everybody from outside of Indiana,
whenever I run the Indiana teams,
we so fundamentally sound that when you play against us,
it's different.
Oh, my God.
Like, you ain't even getting the ball.
You ain't getting it.
Like, they going to do everything right.
Like, she was just doing everything right.
And nothing phased it.
Like, you can tell she kind of had a chip
on her shoulder, but she wasn't
like, I'm hooked.
She was just like,
get these bucks. I'll give you $30 tonight. Bye. Next scene.
Damn. Still like that
to this day. Nah, for real. Nah, she got some greetings.
She got kids now, so she got some
fights now.
We gonna talk about that a little bit later.
So obviously, AAU went to school
so you got back to high school
and then obviously
you was that one on the team
no
really
I played JV my first year
really
I played
listen
my whole route is
ridiculous
like
played JV my first year
my JV coach
was telling the
the head coach
at the
high school thing like
she need to play varsity
he was like
no she's not ready yet.
She's too hood.
Because, like, I was hood.
I was, I ain't really care.
I ain't really listen.
Like, I'm growing up now.
But, like, back then, I was just real hood.
Like, I was in the street, really.
I was around some, you know what you said, Jeff?
When you make two F's, what you doing?
When you make two F's.
Hey,
I thought,
I'm on you.
I thought she said
she wasn't fed.
Drug money.
I'll buy you
what you want.
You know what I mean?
So like,
you know how it go.
Like,
it wasn't really like,
you know,
the focus wasn't really like that.
You know what I mean?
Focus ain't really coming
until like junior year
of high school.
So up until then,
like I was just. What kind of player was you? You talking like you was a bru school. So up until then, like I was just.
What kind of player was you?
You talking like you was a bruiser.
No, I wasn't.
I mean.
You're that motherfucking foul.
What was you kind of hooper?
I just didn't, like you said, like when you come from the hood, you know,
you're going to survive a moment at every moment.
So basketball was not even a priority at that point.
No, man.
Also just like survival.
And then honestly, like basketball was just like to get away from the environment.
Honestly, I mean, because if you around at any point, any given moment, anything can
happen, like wrong place, wrong.
Like anything can happen.
So I just kind of use basketball to kind of get away.
Nice.
You know what I'm saying?
You go crazy in high school and you end up at Rutgers.
You go from Miami to the East
Coast. How was that transition?
It's almost like one of those things, like, if you don't
leave home, you're going to be the same.
You know what I mean? Then you got Vivian Springer,
who's like... The GOAT. Like,
Hall of Fame.
A mother first. And like, my top five,
you know how they do this little top five
in college and shit like that? My top five, you know, they do this little top five, I mean, college and shit like that.
My top five was Rutgers, LSU, Illinois.
Don Staley was at Illinois at the time.
UConn in Georgia.
And I visit UConn.
Gino was like, if you don't commit today, we ain't going to recruit you no more.
Damn.
So I'm like, bye.
I'm gone.
Pew.
And I think the only reason he really recruited me because one of my teammates,
Chelsea Lee and April Sykes, was
getting recruited. So I just think he's just...
I don't even think he really wanted me. You know what I mean?
In my opinion.
I just think I got it because he was watching
my other teammates and I, you know, did
my thing. But I went to LSU.
LSU almost got me. I ain't gonna lie. That football game,
boy, god damn. That shit could have
sold me. What?
Oh my goodness.
Who was there? Was Odell there?
No, not Odell.
What's the dude?
Yeah, Odell.
Matter of fact, he had the goal here.
Listen, that boy, I was like,
Jarvis Landry, they had the whip.
Mm-hmm.
Damn.
At the time, Van Chancellor was the coach for LSU women's basketball.
But it was cool.
The experience was cool.
They went to Rutgers.
It was like, it had nothing to do with basketball.
It was solely about family.
Like, when you come here, this is going to be a family. We're going to teach you
this. We're going to teach you that. And my mom
was the type, I'm not going to tell you what to do.
However you feel, you do it. Because at the
end of the day, it's your life. She ain't never
say, hey, you got to do this or do that.
She's like, look, I'm going to give you, if you
do this, this is the consequence. If you do this, this
is the outcome of this, this, and that. But she never said,
go do this or you're going to get in trouble.
No, I'm going to give you the layout.
You make your choice because at the end of the day,
when I'm gone, you got to figure it out on your own.
So, she was just
like, well, I'm going to give you my advice.
Every school you visit was nice. All the coaches
is talking great, but...
Who care about you?
Vivian Stringer. And everybody
that came and visited Miami, mind you,
I'm in an apartment.
It was a two-two.
It's five of us in there.
We're sleeping on couches.
You know, clothes everywhere.
Vivian said, no, I want to come to your house.
She was just like, I was like, well, I can find a little, you know,
food spot for us to eat.
No, I want your sister to cook.
I heard your sister make good food.
I'm like, okay, what you want?
She was just like, some collard greens,
macaroni and cheese.
And I'm just like,
okay.
So it made me feel comfortable versus like,
you know what I mean?
Trying to act a certain way.
You can try to steal a deal.
This is my ticket out.
So I got to act right.
So my sister made
some macaroni and cheese,
collard greens,
yellow rice,
and we had cornbread.
And we sitting in
literally the plate,
literally the plate on my lap,
and we talking and eating.
So I'm just like, this is Vivian Spreed.
This is a Hall of Fame, one of the most respected coaches in the world.
So I'm like, dang.
So after the visit, it was just cool.
We didn't talk about no basketball at all.
We just had a conversation just about life.
And the one thing she told my mom, she was
just like, basketball going to take care of itself. That's up to her. But what I guarantee you is that
she's going to know how to speak. She's going to know etiquette and she's going to get her degree.
She's not going, she's going to finish in four years. It's not going to take her five years
unless you want her master. And I was like, at the time, I ain't running by no school.
But like, as a parent, that's what you want to hear.
Everybody else was just like, oh, she going to be this.
She going to play this man a minute.
And my mom was just, she didn't really know basketball like that.
My mom was a working woman.
So she was just like, you know, everybody that came up in here,
every visit we took, it was about basketball.
This is the only person that said something about your life.
That's real.
So I was just like, you're right.
But the visit kind of just sealed the deal.
I got to ask you, like, the landscape of college basketball now,
especially in the women's market, like, you see it change every, like,
four or five years from a coaching standpoint.
First you had the Tennessee's, then you had the UConn's,
and then you kind of had the Baylor for a quick run,
and now you got South Carolina.
Who you think is next?
Because I feel like LSU is in that situation
to where I don't think they can out-recruit Don,
but they can make that culture a little bit different than Don.
Because South Carolina is still South Carolina.
Facts.
Don's going to bring in what she bring in,
but do I think LSU is up and coming?
Absolutely.
I mean, they made a big statement.
And then Avery Reese is like, she's unapologetic.
You know what I mean?
And like, for the more like...
Shout out to Avery.
Hey, boy.
For the more like, it's certain things that I don't understand
because it's certain things I just wouldn't do,
just out of respect.
But like, this is a generation.
You know what I mean?
It's just like...
You ain't had TikTok growing up.
Hey.
It's different.
Well,
we had MySpace.
I had MySpace.
Hey,
MySpace was legendary.
Listen,
I had MySpace.
My top eight was silly.
Like,
we having conversations,
we getting arguments
because you ain't in my top eight.
Yeah,
that was real beef back then.
You know what I mean?
Like,
we ain't had it.
Like,
we ain't had TikTok,
we ain't have Instagram,
we ain't have like, when you put up a highlight,
it's going to get a couple of likes and then it's going to move on.
People was actually coming to games.
Like, when I was growing up, like, they actually came to games.
Like, my high school games sold out.
Damn.
In Miami.
You know what I mean?
So, these kids different.
They got it made.
It's almost like you can have, like, like they'll say in football,
you have one great great year you set
you have one great year anywhere
and that's gonna go on the internet
you're set oh that's what
like you said all you gotta have is a viral moment now
how many high school kids got mixed tape and don't average
10 points a game yeah but she can really hoop though
I mean y'all goddamn walk so they can run
though they like the new powerhouse
yeah andreese coates
her numbers are retarded.
But you got to understand, like, it's college.
You got some people that just go to school for scholarship.
At the W, this is you trying to survive.
It's on 144 spots.
I'm at you every day in practice, games.
I'm at you.
Like, even now, like, I feel like certain players that be at Boston,
and I don't like it.
You hooking the arm like, yo, what is you doing?
Don't do that.
But she's the number one pick.
I got to welcome to the league.
But as a vet, you just like, you got to try to protect her
any little way you can.
Yes, and we'll get to how you got there.
But obviously, with you being the vet and the W,
how do you see it now with like you see so many draft picks? you might be top four pick and you get released or you get cut and
then you like see how it goes on with like how everything plays out you a vet that seen it how
hard it was to get in when it was really really hard then you see people kind of complaining now
it's like y'all don't really know how hard it was then man listen i tell people if you're on top 10 you should be scared and you go third round
in my opinion third rounds work harder than the first pick because you gotta understand first
picks is like that's guaranteed in the nba nfl that's guaranteed that's not guaranteed you don't
you don't get a guaranteed spot because you gotta understand not too many people retiring so there's
144 spots every year and we have three rounds
of collective of what, like 32,
30-something picks.
You only
going to keep five or seven
because you got to understand, like,
if it's 12 spots on each team
and your core is like seven players
and then you still got players that's already on the team
that got to work against
another rookie.
But if I got you on my team, I don't need you.
If I got an older you, I might need you
because I know this older one is going to be out the door,
so let me bring you in, let me groom you up.
But if I have Erica Willer on my team,
I'm not going to get out of the draft,
even though I know she cold, but I have her already.
It is not enough spots for two Erica Willers.
It's not enough spots for two Brianna Jones or Brianna Stewart.
And that's crazy.
That's like,
even for you,
like draft it.
You came in behind bits.
You had to wait to play.
Imagine if you had to fight through training camp just to keep your,
they'll spot your team,
like your contract.
Yeah.
That's crazy.
But imagine like,
I would have stayed in college. So they get paid more. NIL money. Yeah. That's crazy. But imagine like. I would have stayed in college
so they get paid more.
NIL money.
Yeah.
I would have been like
if I was now
and they made how much money they do
I wouldn't even.
Oh my God.
Chance it.
Like Angel Reese
how much money she get?
She make more than a team
put together.
And I ain't laughing at y'all
but that's like.
That's money but that's just real shit.
But it's just like the thing I love
about it though is like at least
if you gonna pay
if you gonna pay in college
why not pay it to the WNBA
she's showing you that women are worth
this money why not just transfer it over
the marketing
it's the marketing but you also gotta look at the college
how much money
how many people come to the girls' games?
They generate.
Like at LSU games,
they be sold out.
But that's what I'm saying.
Like,
but why they can't follow you?
Why they can't follow you?
It's not because you're not playing.
First of all,
you're not playing in the same city.
The whole time.
The whole time.
And then again,
like a college crowd,
like college kids support their school.
Oh yeah,
I think all the kids that go to that school,
they're attending those games.
The regular working
person in, you know,
it's hard for us to sell out a Pacers game.
You know what I'm saying? So it's different.
That college sport love is different.
Way different. That's why college football,
damn near like the most, the biggest
thing on earth. Yeah, exactly.
And them motherfuckers will hold like 50, 60K.
Look at the Michigan-Ohio State game.
You can't buy tickets to that game.
But I'm saying that's the LSU now,
LSU-South Carolina.
If they pull up in somewhere,
like that's that type of level.
That game did sell out.
Yeah.
So what WNBA game
do you think could do
close to that?
What you mean?
They just did it.
New York and the Aces.
It wasn't no season.
No, I'm talking about in Lucas Oil.
Oh, Lucas Oil.
I mean, that's kind of hard to ask in that venue.
But I mean, in Gainesville, I see what you're saying.
But I think really the problem, not even a problem.
The real thing behind it is people don't understand how marketing works.
And people don't understand how advertising works.
You have to promote your best players that way.
I understand Sabrina got the Nike shoe and she's cold.
No disrespect.
But why is Asia Wilson not on the cover of 2K?
Like, that's crazy to me.
But you never know what if that was in her deal.
When she signed that deal with Nike a long time ago,
because remember she went to Oregon now.
She's been working Nike since her four years.
Oh, she's been tapping out.
What if that's in her contract?
My contract is I need a shoot D about my second year,
or I need to be on the cover of 2K.
But at the time, if you're the best player,
you almost write your own check.
You don't think she just, me, if that's me,
I'm writing everything down.
I want all that.
But you know, no, Hator's hiring.
She's smart for doing that.
But at the same time, that's the battle.
When you go in between brand marketing and your league.
If the league is heavily in between brand marketing and your league yeah if
the league is heavily relying upon brand marketing then you're gonna have that issue what's the real
thing is she more appealing like no shade at angel wilson or whatever but she not she not
every girl not six five if i'm a little girl playing basketball,
I see that girl, she 5'8".
I probably can be like her.
It's like Steph Curry.
Everybody can't be LeBron, you know what I mean?
But when Steph Curry come along,
you be like, damn, my damn girl can be Steph.
I can shoot.
Yeah, I can shoot.
I ain't that fast.
I don't jump that high.
I could be Steph, but shit, I can't be LeBron.
I ain't 6'9", 280 280 that's why steph i'm not
even saying lebron obviously he's marketable because he's just who he is but more people
can relate to steph so it's like wmba you got to be more related yeah what can the wmba you think
and it's not you ain't we ain't trying to knock them or nothing i'm just saying like what
as a marketing to get more people to view the WNBA, even so watch it on TV.
Like,
what do you think is one thing,
if you could think of something that could help bring more light to the
game?
What you said,
what he said,
promotion,
the promotion.
And then like,
you got to add,
like if people keep saying,
add more teams,
like that's a long and hard process,
but adding two more roster spots to each team,
which is like, that's
easy.
You just fill another roster.
However, maybe that 14 man may not play, but that's better than being at home when I know
I'm fighting this person that's on this team.
But it's taking y'all money though.
But that's fine.
I'd rather, but that's when the investors come in.
You're not going to mess with it.
Look, I'm one of the top players. You ain't going to mess with that look I'm one of the top players
you ain't going to mess with that
we ain't talking about your spot
go crazy
you know what I mean
but it's just like
now we here
we ain't talking about your spot
the money ain't going
when you're a top player
if you've done something for a franchise
your money ain't going to go away but when you're a top player or if you've done something for a franchise,
like, your money ain't going to go away.
You know what I mean?
But then, like, you got to understand, like, investors come along the way.
You know what I mean?
So every year, I think CBA is up, or 2025, they say some big deal is supposed to be coming.
We're supposed to make X amount of money.
So when that deal come, and it ain't taking away no money,
because it's people that want to give money to the WNBA, we stuck in the CBA and you can't do nothing outside the CBA
it's people that want to give
maybe Asia a meal but you can't
because it's like the CBA
that we stuck in
so 2025 I don't know what it's going to be
that's why motherfuckers want to stay in college though
you know what I mean?
it'll be different but at the same time
I tell people they say oh stay in college and get the NIL why mean? But like, it'll be different. But at the same time, like, I tell people like,
they say,
oh,
stay in college
and get the NIL deals.
Why can't that transfer over?
Because it's not like
those brands has ties
to the college itself.
It has ties to the player.
The money's not getting paid
to LSU
and then going to Angel Reese.
No,
the money is getting paid
to Angel Reese
marketing team,
manager,
whoever that deals
with her finance.
So why that shit can't follow you? Oh, it would have followed her. It would have followed team, manager, whoever that deals with her finance. So why that shit can't follow you?
It would have followed her.
It would have followed her, but like she said,
I'm making all this money in college, but I'm having fun also.
Are you having fun?
Yeah, I guarantee she's having fun.
We know she's having fun.
Yeah.
Shout out to Baton Rouge.
She's having fun.
Shout out to Angel Reese.
Shout out to 305 and my yo-yo.
That's what I want to tell people.
Because at the same time, are all these kids taking financial literacy?
Because you touch a two mil, but that two mil going to be gone if you don't got a team.
And not everybody has an Angel Reese team.
But everybody ain't getting Angel Reese money.
Let's keep it.
But even still, if you get somebody who knows nothing about money, 100K, that 100K going to be gone.
Think about when you first set your...
I'm different. I ain't spend no money.
You know what I mean? But think about the average dude that's gonna
say, I'm different.
I mean, that just applies
to life in itself.
But I think they have more help than
what y'all did. Yeah, for sure.
You walked so they could run.
And you got way more people who like
giving out that kind of information. Like
people not hiding that they lost money.
Or like I blew this much money or
nothing. Like people are speaking about it so other people don't do it.
Like when I was growing up
if somebody was broke, they was not telling you
like I lost all my money. They was still acting like they had
money. It was capping.
Yeah, and I get it. But I just think it also
like, think about like, for example, the Josh situation. Yeah. And I get it. But I just think it also like,
think about like,
for example,
the Josh situation.
You know what I mean?
Like,
has somebody like somebody like he knows better.
I'm sure he knows better,
but like early on,
cause now you got so much money.
You feel like you,
whatever I can do,
whatever I want to do. But that's a bump in the road.
He needed.
Yeah.
It didn't matter.
It don't matter.
Like how many bumps you need to avoid that situation. I can do whatever I want to do. But that's a bump in the road he needed. Yeah. It didn't matter. It don't matter. That's what I'm saying.
Like, how many bumps you need to avoid that?
In a situation.
Everybody done told him before that ever happened, like, what the do's and don'ts.
We had meetings.
We do everything.
That nigga, I mean, for real.
His parents.
He come from a good home.
But I'm saying his daddy keep it real.
Like, his daddy came out and said and said like my son didn't do that
shit because his friends that nigga know better bro yeah we can't control what he do he grown
how many people we know get a little bit of notoriety and start wilding okay how many people
we know get a bag and start wild especially if you come from a situation to where you ain't
as popping jaw was cold but jaw wasn't popping until that second year murray state so now how many people you know get to the
w they they in the tunnel getting fist off you're like dang i ain't never seen you act like this
and i feel like y'all more on y'all for real to how i look at it y'all more on a leash than
everybody else like because y'all gotta keep shit really oh yeah yeah angel is like shit
fuck this shit i'm having fun fun. Like, I'm still
handling my business, but shit, bitch, we going
to Miami this week.
And, but, and, no offense,
but they get
more attention. Yeah.
Just because of their social media problems.
No, I'm saying the college girls get more
attention. Oh, absolutely. But you gotta think about
it's on ESPN.
It's on ESPN3
It's on the app
So why would I leave that?
Why would I leave that?
I'm getting money
And I'm still getting more attention
That's what I'm telling you
That's what I'm saying to you
Like
The promotion part
You said what would help it
The promotion like
Put us more on TV
Like
If you never seen it
How would you know?
But it'd be the most watched games
Of the year
The college girls games
Be lit.
Yeah, but now.
And they getting them crazy ass recruits.
I don't mean to cut you off, bro.
They getting them crazy ass recruits now.
It's, ugh.
The women's Final Four has been better than the men's Final Four the last five years.
Easily.
Like, what's the girl from Iowa?
She was playing.
Oh, Kaelin.
Clark.
Yeah.
Number one pick.
And then you had like the.
She's not.
Come on, man.
That's the magic verse bird.
Yeah, it was magic verse bird all over again.
Nah, she shouldn't come out.
She's the most...
Can you win?
Can you win like that?
She the most loved person in the country besides Angel Ruiz.
We don't care about winning.
Oh, yeah.
Not on this part.
You know, we don't care about winning.
You want buckets.
Hey, what?
What you said?
Can you have 20?
What you said?
We don't care about championships.
What? We ain't fuck all that. What you said? When? Can you have it? What you said? We don't pay my championship?
What?
Fuck all that.
What you said?
When they go to the court, they not talking about D-Wade.
They talking about Kerry.
Yeah, what's wrong?
Hey, what's your hold, man?
She's trying to get me.
I done got past the D-Wade people, man. They done left me alone now.
They done left you alone?
Yeah, they done left me alone.
Cut that out then.
Cut that out.
Don't do that.
Nah, fuck that.
We out.
Nah, but I think.
The WNBA, y'all can use a little help for real on that side.
I agree.
For sure.
I will say this for real, for real.
And this is the same shit I get on NFL players about.
That CBA.
I don't want to hear shit.
Like I was on the NFL players ass.
Y'all talked all this shit about stuff y'all want to change.
And y'all niggas sold out just to be able to not have drug tests.
The issues for y'all right now,
y'all can't fix.
It is what it is.
We know more money's been poured in
since especially everybody
started fake caring
about diversity and inclusion
in 2020.
Everybody,
then the orange hoodies
start going crazy.
So you got more attention.
You got people
who fake caring the best
and now money's
starting getting thrown.
Cool.
When the CBA come around,
y'all got to have the people
in place to handle that.
And that's why I think the real
conversation is going to start. No, we got our
people in place. Like Nneka Agumake is our
president and like... Smart as hell.
We in a group message where we
sending out, they send
to like, just ask our opinions.
Like, what's like, of course we
have a hundred problems, but what's the priority?
Yeah. You know what I mean? Like, of course
the money is always the priority, and then
it's charter flights. That's the second thing.
That shit's insane. So, no, for me, my three is
money, add two
extra, or even one extra
roster spot, and charter flights.
You do that, man,
it'll be cool. And I think, you know,
and we're going to talk about it,
we were losing earlier, but Skylar,
I think that issue that happened the past year and a half,
especially with her pregnancy and the team handling of it,
I think that's going to be a big deal in the next NBA.
Oh, yeah.
Because that's crazy.
I got to go work out a Planet Fitness dog,
and I'm a member of this team?
I'm losing it.
That's crazy.
I play for the Indiana Fever, though.
That wouldn't happen on your squad. I play for the Indiana Fever, though. That wouldn't happen on your squad.
I play for the Indiana Fever. Oh, absolutely.
I feel that. Boy, you not
putting me in no chokehold like that.
They're going to send you to the factory.
Johnson D1 factory. It's advertisement.
Y'all held
it down for us, though.
Y'all came in there and showed love.
I'll fuck with it.
We got to talk about it. You went crazy.
Still going crazy. We're going to talk about that special. Yeah. I fuck with it. For sure. All right, we got to talk about it. You went crazy. Still going crazy.
We're going to talk about that special, your favorite year, I imagine.
It got to be the 2019 year.
Is that your favorite year in the league?
Man, listen, that shit changed my life.
Like, completely.
Your jewels are shining a little different?
What?
That's when the 17 change come in.
I had this.
This wasn't this big.
I had a little, you know, I was crawling.
I'm running right now. Talk about it. I was crawling. I'm running right now.
Talk about it.
I was crawling.
How was that year for you?
Honestly, man, it just really just transferred from when I was overseas.
I was in Russia at the time.
That was my first big contract.
And Russia changed my life completely for us, just financially,
me and my family.
And it just transferred over.
Like, I was really in a zone.
Like, I just didn't care about shit.
I'm just like, anybody in front of me, I'm going to hoop.
Like, whether we win or not, like, I'm going to be efficient
because I'm in the gym.
I'm working my ass off.
Like, I already took the hardest route in the league.
Some got to show.
Some got to give.
How was that, like, preparing?
Like, W season is only, like, five, four, five months,
especially if you're good. Yeah. To prepare, how long are you overseas? It's only five, four, five months to prepare.
How long are you overseas?
Three or four months?
Eight. It's really a rollover.
For example, the WNBA starts
May.
It can end in September,
October if you're in a championship.
You got a week after that, then you got to go overseas.
Hypothetically,
Seattle and Phoenix just got eliminated.
Once they last game
on September 10th
them teams going to be like
we need you.
Okay, you get your week break
and you got to report.
So it's really year round.
You're playing basketball
for 12 months.
And that's crazy.
But it's damn right
more of a priority
even though you probably
love the W more.
You like the idea of it more.
That's where the real
real chest is. If you don't play in the W,
you can't get the bag overseas.
So, you gotta play in the W.
Even if you don't play,
but you got the W on your resume,
you gonna make a bag overseas.
I mean, I'm at least for my agent.
My agent get me right.
Josh, how you doing? Fabio.
Shout out to my dog, man. That man changed my life.
Hey, Fabio, tap in.
Yeah, subscribe, my boy.
Oh, yeah, yeah, nigga.
No free advertisement here.
No, seriously, though, like,
people don't understand, like, as women,
like, even for me, I'm like,
I don't even know how I did that, like,
because I don't go overseas for the whole time no more.
Like, going from, like, years in a row playing 12 months.
Like, so you don't really have no
time to like
work on your game
I don't got a month
or two or three
or four
to really be in the gym
just like adding shit
to my game
I'm really just gaming
for 12 months
damn
like just gaming
the whole time
and then when you do
kind of get that break
you don't even look
at a basketball
you know what I mean
like mentally
it's just like
hey I know this you know this is what I mean? Mentally, it's just like,
hey, I know this is what I love,
but I don't even want to play for these little two or three weeks I get.
How many games are you playing over there?
So, for example, if you play in,
so in my opinion,
the top leagues in the world
is the WNBA EuroLeague women's.
Then you got EuroCup,
and then you got all these leagues.
So if you in Russia,
you have Russian Cup. If you in Poland, you have the Polish Cup. then you got all these leagues. So if you in Russia, you have Russian Cup.
If you in Poland, you have the Polish Cup.
So they have their own leagues.
But Euro League is like the WNBA of Europe.
So if you in Euro League and you have a team that plays domestic,
you playing at least three games a week in two different leagues.
Damn.
So you can accumulate almost like 60 games
on top of
a WNBA season of 40.
That's a motherfucking
AU team.
Listen,
this man here.
Y'all working,
working.
No, for real.
Nah, you got some crazy.
That's a motherfucking
gal show.
Yeah, that's a crazy.
That's a crazy schedule.
Nah, it's for sure.
But
that money hit
when it hit
and it ain't coming late,
and it ain't no tax on it.
So if you getting $300, $500, that's $500.
Ain't no tax.
You get $500 here, that $500 go to $253,
depending on where you at in the world.
If you're in LA, you're going to get $100 out of that $500.
Ooh, that's tough.
You know what I mean?
But when you go overseas and you getting a $500 contract,
you're going to get $500.
Love, love. You see the 17 chain for a 500K contract, you going to get 500. Love, love.
You see the 17 chain for a reason?
Nah, man.
Chill out, man.
I work hard for this shit.
I respect you.
You fly anyway.
We're going to talk about it.
I see the feet on, you know what I'm saying?
You Team Adidas.
Yeah, man.
Our co-host here was once Team Adidas, man.
What?
Yeah.
Spend a block.
Cam, fuck with us, man.

What happened with that situation?
Come back, man.
Come back to the family
They don't want me back

Five or six years

You'll probably block.
Yeah.
He got to go back

but I'm sorry.
Nah,
I got tired of wearing them.
So I just put some Nikes
on in the game
and taped everything around them
to try to hide what they was.
The first Kyrie, I told y'all.
Adidas called me and was like,
hey, we seen that.
And I'm like, nah, I ain't do nothing.
So you lied.
So that one was 75K.
And after that, I was like,
fuck that.
I'm out.
You out.
Now you're missing out now.
Oh, I was missing out then.
I don't know what I was thinking.
Was that Ricky Dill too?
I guess you was going crazy.
He was seasoned.

Now you got some comfy shoes.
Nah, they weren't comfortable when I had them.
Well, nah, my first four years they were.
Then they went through like this phase.
They started getting some new designers
and they was hurting my feet.
So I was like, nah, I can't hoop in it.
Shout out to James Harden.
He was crazy.
Shout out to James Harden.
Can't say that name too much in this podcast.
Yeah, he just...
Adidas just had to work on the look of the shoe.
This ain't for you to speak on, E.
Nah, them hard, though.
Yeah, them hard.

But they had niggas out here in pro models at first.
They done got the game right.
What's up with pro models?
I like pro models.

You got a double socket, though, but they solid.
You wasn't going to pull up with that outfit on?
Yeah, yeah.
In some pro models?
You wasn't?
You wasn't going to Wisconsin to wear them?
That's what niggas in Wisconsin wear with the double socks.
If you had no pro models, you would have walked in here sweating.
They were like the strip shoes.
Hey.
Cass, be on fleek.
Don't disrespect the brand like that.
We on point right now.
We on point right now.

All right.
So we got to talk about music.
Obviously, we talked about where you from.
But Mike, shout out to Mike.
Mike sent me some of the wildest shit I ever seen in my life.
What the fuck is wrong with Miguel?
Why is Miguel performing with his skin?
Like, he skin? Man.
What happened?
So he performed.
Everything's about perception.
You got to be different these days to sell them tickets.
Last time we seen Miguel in a crowd, he was leg dropping people.
Now he decided to hook himself by the skin up.
I'm not paying no attention to him.
No, Miguel music is fire, though.
It is, but I'm not paying no attention.
Do you really think it's up to his skin, though?
Do you really think it's pulling to his skin though? Do you really think it's pulling?
Because there's no way.
He's at least 150 at minimum.
From the skin?
There's something up there
that's just making it probably look like that.
But he's not getting pulled.
Have you seen how many times he's been
engaged and unengaged?
I don't trust anything that nigga does.
I have never seen a nigga veto
his own proposal cancel.
You know how cold you gotta be to cancel off the

You know what I mean?
Niggas don't stand on royalty or loyalty.
Niggas.

I done took a lot of shit for this nigga.
Pause.
For real.
That's crazy.
When Pitbull came out, what'd he do?
His wife is up.
No, shouts out to Pia.
I said she's putting you on game.
Let's get back to it, though.
For real, I went to a game.
Seriously.
It was nobody in there, motherfucker.
My only thing was, and I see my family,
I'm like, cuz, don't text me nachos, tenders.
No, but I feel like...
I don't know.
But listen, I feel like you a jokey guy.
No, no, no.
And you knew I was coming.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
And I felt like you had to make a joke with them.
No, no, I swear to God.
It can't be true.
They don't even sell nachos at the game.
That's the joke? Listen, no, listen to what
I'm saying. We talked about this before I even knew
who you were. Seriously.
We talked about this way before.
No, no, it's a true story.
No, I'm dead ass.
I was getting tweeted about this.
We got in trouble for this too much.
No, this is a real thing. I ain't bullshitting, for real.
Jeff Teague hates the WNBA.
I was known as the WNBA hater.
Like, I hate the WNBA.
No facts.
I was getting all that.
Yeah, this ain't.
Jeff do not hate the WNBA.
Thank you.
He cleared my name.
He's a supporter, so get off my man back.
Yeah, he cleared my name.
He got me here, so of course he's, you know,
leaving alone.
And y'all stop lying to y'all Abbies.
Y'all be wearing them orange hoodies
and don't watch games.
I'm going to start calling niggas out
because y'all cap. I've been seeing thatbies. Y'all be wearing them orange hoodies and don't watch games. I'm going to start calling niggas out because y'all cap.
I've been seeing that too.
Niggas be wearing them orange hoodies and they be lying.
Oh, I ain't been to a game.
But 520 going to pull up.
Out the game.
For sure.
You can get the tickets.
That's easy.
I was saying, why not?
This is back to our marketing conversation.
I was saying, why not invite every fucking Indiana, Indianapolis girls basketball team to a game
just so they can start feeling.
If the tickets is just $5, man, just invest.
That's the investment.
It was on.
Maybe that was probably where my homegirl was working, but tickets was $5.
Yeah, to come to the game.
And it's like, the Pacers tickets be $5.
They do.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm not for real.
The Pacers ain't selling out either.
The Pacers be $5 either. OK, we cool.
It ain't.
That's like.
I don't like it.
That's what I'm saying.
You got to get to know
what you are thinking.
I mean,
can we ask that question again?
Who's the worst on the show now?
Yeah.
Damn.
No, we all fuck with the W. We're like, yeah, we all fuck. It. Damn, man. Nah, we fuck,
we all fuck with the W, though.
But, like,
yeah, we all fuck with basketball. It's different, though.
Like,
I like girls' college basketball better.
Like, no offense.
But what's the difference, though?
Because it's what?
What's the difference
between the W versus college?
Because half the time,
so now we're going,
this is a whole discussion right here.
Because half the time that
most people that's on these,
like,
not everybody
goes to school to play basketball to be a basketball player. It's more so time that most people that's on these, like, not everybody goes to school to play basketball
to be a basketball player.
It's more so to be something else.
So if you a hooper and you know that WNBA is strictly basketball,
why don't you watch it?
Why don't you love it more than...
I'll put it this way.
When I watch Kaitlyn Clark,
I know she's not going to be able to do that in the WNBA.
Like, I know y'all not going to let her come shoot at half court.
We meet her at the parking lot.
Facts. But that's more entertaining toBA. Like, I know y'all not gonna let her come shoot at half court. We meet her at the parking lot. Facts.
But that's more entertaining to me.
She might. When she doing, I'm just saying,
if she doing, because what's that, Sabrina chick? Yeah.
She was killing the couch like that, too.
She get off, but she don't do it how she was doing it when she was at Oregon.
Like, she's not gonna do what she doing in the league
like she do at Iowa. But it's more
entertaining. Like, to get to shoot 30 times.
Don't talk under your breath over there. No, I'm letting my man go crazy. I'm just saying, if she get to shoot 30 times entertaining. Like to get to shoot 30 times. Don't talk under your breath over there.
No, I'm letting my man go crazy.
I'm just saying,
if she get to shoot 30 times,
she ain't get to shoot 30 times
when she get drafted to the fever.
She gonna have to pass to her.
I don't know if she shoot 30 times.
I'm telling you right now,
Clark come,
she can shoot 30 times.
She come to the fever,
she can shoot 30 times.
I'm gonna give her the rock.
Here we go.
I'm gonna give her the rock.
I fucks with you.
I'm gonna give her the rock. I've been, I've been to give her the rock. I fucks with you. I'm going to give her the rock.
I've been,
I've been sadly praying.
You know what I'm saying?
I've been in every game
for the rest of the season.
And somehow just by the end,
you know what I'm saying,
shit get a little spooky.
Because if we can get
a Kaitlyn Clark,
Aaliyah Boston
pick and roll
for the next five years.
Well,
this is fucking
the favorite employee.
We going to get some stats.
The IF.
Let's get some stats and history.
So last year,
they won six games
Right total
The year before that
They won five
We at 11 right now
So I don't care about
Shit nobody talking about
Oh yeah definitely
For sure
We above two years
And we got five more games
We get one more
I swear to God
You helping the lineage
For sure
Like
Yeah but
Take some rest before
Your next party
You know what I'm saying
I know you gotta go overseas
Just take a couple weeks
You gotta go straight
Straight to the army.
Oh,
I ain't going overseas.
I was trying to get
the tanky here.
I was on the last
with the Pacers.
You hear him?
Yeah,
he's got pockets.
ROTC.
Yo!
But for real though,
you got the black suit?
Clayton Clark.
All the niggas
at ROTC
in high school
was weird as fuck.
Nah,
alright.
That's a good point
I get what you're saying
It's more entertaining
I get that
Cool
But at the same time
Like
I just
So I try
You support the W
You like
I do
And not the hotel
I like watching
That better
Cause I know
My favorite player
Is not gonna be able
To do the same thing
When they go to the league
Like what's the
I forgot my homegirl name.
Plum.
Went to,
when she was in college,
ridiculous.
Ridiculous.
Like,
and then when she got to the league
her first couple years,
she won really,
and I kind of lost track of her.
You know what I'm saying?
Now she got,
now I'm saying,
now she got it back again.
She cold again.
Yeah.
But her first year,
I was like,
you know,
my boy tapped in.
Come on,
bro.
Yeah,
he tapped in. I think Andrew is going I'm kidding. Yeah, he tapped in.
I think Andrew is going to go crazy, though.
I get what you said.
You said who?
Andrew is going to go crazy in the NBA.
You think Andrew Wilson is going to just let her just score on her?
You know what I'm saying?
Ain't nobody left.
Ain't nobody left.
You think Brittany Griner is going to just let her just walk in there?
Who, BG?
No, after she done made the comment, but like...
Look, look.
Shout out to her.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
After she done made the comment about the WNBA,
honestly, I think people
took it out of content
how she said it.
I think it was more so
like an excitement.
Like, y'all making all this money.
I'm getting all this attention
at college.
I'm not rushing to leave this.
I don't think she was just like,
oh, F the WNBA
because like...
Definitely wasn't throwing
y'all on the slide.
I spoke to her
in passing on, you know,
comments and, you know,
she commented on certain things.
But like, I think it was taking out of content. Hell yeah, all of it. Once it's in the air, you know, comments and, you know, she commented on certain things, but like, I think it was taking out of
content. But you know what I mean?
Once it's in the air, they gonna mix it like this.
They do us like that. So fuck them.
But she gonna
average a double-double.
You think Asia Wilson?
I'm just telling you. That's one person.
Candice Parker.
Candice Parker. Shout out to, you know
what I mean BG
What you did with BG
What you did
What he did
I ain't did nothing
Shout out to Gizzle
I ain't did nothing
Shout out to her
The real BG
Yeah
No hot boys
That's the first motherfucker
To go topless at the pool party
But
Anyway
All I'm saying is
That's two people
Oh man
That's two people.
That's two people.
When I got the mic right here,
y'all just pass me.
That's just two people.
No, seriously though.
Angel Reese.
You got Stewie.
You got... Shout out to Stew Stew.
We here now.
We here now.
Come on.
Angel Wilson and Brianna Stewart.
Who you going with?
She's copping a flea.
But let me know.
That's what you got to understand.
For me, in my opinion, they're two different players.
All right, what's a better comparison then?
It ain't.
They in the league of their own.
Okay, so give us a better comparison.
Candice Parker in her prime or Brianna Stewart?
Ooh.
I'm going Candice Parker.
What? I fuck with that. I'm going Candice Parker. I like Candice Parker in her prime or Breonna Stewart? Ooh. I'm going Candice Parker. What?
I fuck with that.
I do too.
I'm going Candice Parker because, like, she's been good centuries.
You know what I mean?
Like, of course, Stewie is who she is, but, like,
Candice been that, like, you know what I mean?
Like, everybody knows her.
I ain't going to lie.
My Amore done quit pooping.
She was going to be the best.
Almost.
Most definitely.
I was pissed.
I was pissed My Amore got the role. But you didn't ask me who I think, like, if my- No, I was? Like, everybody knows. I ain't going to lie. My Amore didn't quit pooping. She was going to be the best. Almost. Most definitely. I was pissed. I was pissed my Amore got low.
But you didn't ask me who I think.
No, I was just throwing it out there.
My Amore was tough.
Actually, women might be more durable than men.
Thinking about how long y'all be playing for in the WNBA, that is crazy.
But you got, like, I mean.
Diana Taurasi is still out there.
But it is only 40 games.
No shade to the overseas, love.
Because everybody don't got to play overseas. No, but did you just hear the games No shade to the overseas Cause everybody don't
Gotta play overseas
Did you just hear the schedule bro
I'm saying everybody
Don't do that
Everybody don't
Like Asia Wilson
Don't do that
She don't have to
Cause she make
I don't think
She gotta play overseas
No
Never
How long
Looks like
So your overseas run
Is about what
5-6 years
If you're the best player
In the league
Cause you gotta start
On doing it
Stewie still do it though
But I think In in my opinion,
I don't know how much Stewie make in Fenerbahce.
You know Fenerbahce. Yeah, they paying, though.
They paying. I'm almost certain
she's touching at least an M.
At minimum.
Why would she stop playing?
And it's probably light over there, too.
I just didn't know women played that long. For real, that's a long time.
I seen Diana.
That's what I'm saying. These niggas ain't worth a quarter.
That's six months.
These niggas play six months and be damn near done.
Y'all having babies and shit.
Pool parties and going to the army.
Yo, get off the pool party.
Three games a week.
That pool party scene was ridiculous.
I'm off it.
Hey.
Don't talk to me.
Don't talk to me Don't talk to me But you gotta understand
Y'all making millions
Y'all can take care of y'all buddies
Y'all can get sips
Y'all can
This might be close
This might be close
I'm switching the subject
This the subject
Y'all are terrible on here man
Oh my god Oh man Nah bro I'm serious This the subject, boy. Y'all are terrible on here, man.
Oh, my God.
Oh, man.
Nah, but I'm serious.
No, it's like, it is hard to do it, but like.
No, I commend y'all.
You put me on game today.
Seriously.
And I have fun.
You know, I joke and shit, but I swear to God,
I didn't know y'all played all year round.
No, all year round. I knew a little bit of that.
Yeah, all year round.
But if you on the top team overseas,
you're going to get,
you're going to get taken care of
like almost a WNBA player.
Like you,
they're going to take care of everything.
When you go overseas,
you don't pay for nothing though.
Like you pay for nothing,
but besides food,
if that,
if they,
they may feed you.
And we talked about him
going to Russia too.
How's that over there?
Boy, I ain't never been to Russia.
We talked about you going over there for the bread.
What is it?
Saudi Arabia.
I thought we was talking about Russia. My bad. He's the same shit.
Oh, you think because he's overseas?
He's out of pocket.
That's crazy.
Call of Duty everywhere.
How's it in Russia though?
Bob Tony will never have a Euro tour
thanks to Brendan Hendricks
dang B
my brother played in Russia
he said it's different
no it's different
but when that check hit boy
on the 30th
boy you know why you there
you know why you there
but like
when I played there
I played in
not there's the
that's like
it's not Moscow
that
it ain't that it's dark you probably get 30 minutes
of sun but i'm cool like when i'm overseas like i'm locked in like i know like when i'm over there
i know it's basketball get right get get my money and go to the crib like i don't need no huh
i guess that's how you doing a bit over here mean. That's a Rod Way soundtrack. Russia the Rod Way soundtrack is crazy.
Nah, man.
Because you know when you go to Russia,
you know why you going.
You ain't going to have no fun.
You ain't doing none of that.
You going to get 30 minutes of sun.
It's cold.
But the one thing I do love,
you get a driver and a translator.
You ain't driving nowhere.
They going to drive you everywhere.
And half the time the drivers is ex-Mafia dudes.
So when you walk in the supermarket
and people just start moving out of the way,
my first time it happened to me,
my driver was, I guess, an
ex-Mafia dude. That's what he say. He got the
tattoos. When I walk in the grocery store,
you just see people moving out of the way. And I'm like,
damn, I'm black. They don't want to be by me.
And then when I went
with my teammate that was a Russian,
they was just like,
no,
maybe it's the driver.
So I had to drive like,
you just,
you can stay in the car
because I don't like this shit.
I don't like how this feel like.
I'm already away from my family.
Everybody look at me crazy.
Like,
why the hell are you here?
And when you come in here,
everybody moving out the way?
Nah,
that's hard.
I don't like that.
I would have been shopping
like a motherfucker.
Excuse me.
Look at you. How Excuse me. Why this motherfucker
ain't move?
I want to see him going down.
I'm like, Timofey.
Timofey.
Get him.
Oh, man.
Get him.
You just want to be normal.
Yeah, I'm like, I ain't Hollywood like that.
Nah, I feel that. I ain't none of that
so I gotta ask y'all I don't know if y'all seen this or not
but the KFC Canada had one of the
wildest advertising specials
ever they had utensils
of people eating chicken inside of them
and guess what color those people were
