I had to bless my boy at Dreamville.
It was going through it.
It was rough.
I'll never forget us walking through Dreamville.
A homie was laid out on the grass
with the black forces and the white laces.
I don't think that was from the festival.
Whatever he did before the festival
is what made him tired.
I think it was Alcove too and it was 88 degrees.
I ain't never slept in no heat like this.
I ain't never slept on nobody's grass.
Yeah, if I ever got to sleep on grass, that's when I'm-
That's very valid.
I think I'm gonna start robbing if I got to sleep on grass.
I always talk about that with homeless people too.
How y'all sleep on this concrete, bro?
This yard, bro.
Bro, you know what's funny?
I still think about our old episodes
because they are so fucking hilarious.
You just asking Jeff, how's a nigga halfway homeless
is still one of my favorite 520 moments.
Yeah bro, because I mean he overthinks about shit
and puts bullshit and nerdy hills together,
but either you are or you ain't.
So I'm talking about super happiness man.
One of my favorite debates man.
You can't just be halfway in it bro.
You can't bro, lock in it, bro. You can't, bro.
Lock it.
For sure.
Because I would never sleep under a bridge, bro.
Bro, some people mean.
They don't have options.
They do?
Listen, listen.
When you homeless, for real, y'all, when you homeless,
you have your whole city that you're in.
Why?
It's like, damn, YouTube don't know,
but where we had our Black Expo, the free concert at.
Yes, sir.
Bro, all that yard, bro.
I'm not sleeping on no concrete, bro.
All that grass, bro.
Bro, they call the police and say you can't sleep here.
They sleep under the bridge
because it rains and shit, bro.
That limits.
I'd rather lay on that grass, bro.
Let it rain, it can't get no worse.
I'm not fucking with you, dog. I'm not fucking with you, dog.
I'm not fucking with you today, bro.
Thunderstorm on me, bro.
I've been trying to take off these nasty ass clothes anyway.
Give me a reason.
He ain't got no shit clothes to take.
They don't have awesome uniforms, bro.
They getting to how they live, bro.
Bro, they're closing, they're trying to close.
Listen, I don't know to start a kid to be homeless,
but I swear to God, I feel like when most people are homeless,
they, when they have to get put,
when they get put out of their house,
they take all their clothes with them in the trash bag.
So you have plenty of gear, bro, to change it.
But over top things, admit it's because you can only take
so many things, so you gotta have the essentials, bro.
Now I only can have three outfits,
cause I gotta take.
Nah, bro, get in the gym, bro.
What's your homeless starter kid?
What you, you get kicked out, what you taking with you?
Okay, let's do a better conversation.
If you had to take three essential things with you
for your life, what would you take?
Cause like a homeless starter kit is crazy.
Just in case.
It's not, yeah, but that's real shit though bro.
I'm taking all my shit bro.
Shit does get wicked, of course.
I'm taking both of my phones.
I'm taking.
You're not going home with your phone.
It's quiet bro.
I'm taking all my clothes, all my shoes, bro.
How are you getting around with it?
I really, and I hate, I love y'all, bro,
cause y'all smarter than this.
When your first day of being homeless, bro,
you literally have everything but the house.
You got your car, you got everything, bro.
Get yourself together, bro. Put together a plan, bro. Pack all you got everything, bro. Get yourself together, bro.
Put together a plan, bro.
Pack all your shit up, bro.
Park at your, that's why I'm like, damn,
homie, what y'all doing on your first day out, bro?
Y'all just left everything at the house?
You don't think they tried to sell their car
before they left the house?
They lost the house?
Yeah, but the phone calls have turned into a house, bro.
Ah, bro, see, you putting niggas with drugs.
I'm not about to be homeless and sober nigga, you crazy.
I'm selling this car for 1500, I'm trying to keep my house.
You're a loser.
I mean, I saved my house.
You're a loser.
I mean, what you want me to do?
No nigga, I'm sleeping in my car bro.
For you to sell your car and then go sleep under somebody,
under the nearest bridge, you're a fucking loser.
Why would you sell your car to do that?
Because they gonna tow it anyway.
I'm gonna put all my clothes, all my shit in my trunk.
They gonna repo your car.
They gonna repo your car, bro.
What if it's paid off?
Now you got a paid off car to wait.
You can sell it, but for real, for real now.
You need a financial advisor if you have a paid off car.
If you dudes do not have a house,
y'all are going to sell your car to have some money and not keep the car and leaving off car and you can't afford to rent. If you dudes do not have a house, y'all are going to sell y'all a car to have some money
and not keep the car and live in your car.
I'm saying, I'm selling my car before I lose the house.
I can sell my car for a month, two months.
If I know this bitch is really about to go,
I'm keeping the wood.
Y'all crazy.
Well, at least go get an apartment
or a studio somewhere else, bro.
You gotta make a play if you got a vehicle.
Y'all want niggas to move and get a new lease?
It's crazy. I want people to have shelter.
That's it.
I can sell the car, have some cash,
and let me hear a couple hundred,
let me stay with you for a couple weeks.
You can make a play.
Flip some.
I'm glad I'm neither one of you niggas' kids,
because we'll be fucked.
My dad just sold the car, nigga.
We gotta go sleep on 38th Street.
Nah, bro, we don't have the house, bro.
We getting showered and shit, bro.
We gonna have to live. See, what's happening is, bro, he gonna have the house bro. We getting showered and shit bro.
See what happened is bro, he had a plate bro.
Stay down bro.
And we made that flip bro, we up.

you really took that nigga to get right.
I gotta sell my car bro.

I mean, Steak and Shake.
If Raleigh's has a bathroom, run.
Oh, Steak and Shake, Walmart, Target,
so many places where you can use the bathroom, bro.
I'm still cool.
I just think you inconvenience yourself
if you homeless and you homeless by,
you're not by no buildings, you're not by no grass,
you're not by nothing.
Like I don't wanna be homeless, bro,
when there's nothing around me.
But I'm still at the point that you wouldn't sell your car.
Like if you sell your car and you can go get an apartment,
you still can do everything.
How the fuck are you gonna pay for the apartment?
Cause you just sold your car for eight bands.
You up?
So all I need is three or four months
to get back right and get a job.
Hopefully.
Yeah, it is tough to get a job right now,
but hopefully in three months you can make a play.
You get made now, so hold it down
for a little couple months.
Well, homeless nigga selling a car for eight bands,
you a cold motherfucker, boy, you got a mouthpiece.
You hear me?
He put that Nissan Altima away.
120,000 miles.
You put your pride to the side.

We played two games before the game got seen on Instagram.
OK, he did miss a shot, but I also did not guard him.
So if that's a loss, it's a loss.
I didn't trust his jump shot.
He shot every time I said I basically let him shoot jumpers
and set in the room and rebound.
So if I lost, I lost.

Okay have you heard about this?
Last year Degree changed the formula for their Cool Rush deodorant.
The fans rebelled at one of the old sent back.
And Degree listened.
And that doesn't happen often.
They admitted they effed up after bringing the original Cool Rush sent back.
And it's exactly how you remember it.
Cool, crisp, and fresh.
There's a reason why it's the number one men's antiperspirant and it's back in Walmart,
Target, and other stores now for under $4.
So try it and see what the fuss is about.
Head to your local Walmart, Target and try the OG cool rush for yourself.

My name is Brendan Patrick Hughes, host of Divine Intervention. This is a story about
radical nuns in combat boots and wild haired priests trading blows with J. Edgar Hoover
in a hell bent effort to sabotage a war.
J. Edgar Hoover was furious somebody violated the FBI and he wanted to bring the Catholic
left to its knees.
The FBI went around to all their neighbors and said to them, do you think these people
are good Americans?
It's got heists, tragedy, a trial of the century, and the
goddamn best love story you've ever heard. I picked up the phone and my
thought was this is the most important phone call I'll ever make in my life. I
couldn't believe it. I mean, Brendan, it was divine intervention. Listen to Divine

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,

We dive into the competitive world of streaming,
how she's turning so-called niche into mainstream gold,
connecting audiences with stories

What others dismiss as niche, we embrace as core.

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.

I'm just hitting it, bro.
It is what it is, bro.
I ain't hurt nobody.
The only thing I have,
the only reason I got questions about Barry Bonds,
like why people hating is because, excuse me,
everybody was on steroids.
So the pitcher was on steroids too.
So he was just better than them niggas.
Like y'all on steroids too.
I'm just better than y'all.
And realistically, the steroid era baseball was the best.

Now they said if he was in a black home,
that would have been a little bit different.
Yeah, I just, I hate that it had to happen to her.
Yeah, I hate that it had to happen to Shadour, though, bro.
But I'm glad I got shit fucking man.
Found him a million.
This is what it is.
Stop playing with me bro.
I just think it's crazy that he got that number for,
that's never happened before.
It's probably happened.
It's just-
They say it happened to somebody else in the drive too,
if I'm correct.
One nigga got a prank call?
Yeah, they say it happened to him.
It happened before, it's just happened that it was Shador
and he was dropping so crazy that it made it like, fast.
Yeah.
You guess cause he's so polarizing this shit.
That's insane.
I couldn't, could you imagine bro,
a motherfucker calling you,
you think you just got drafted bro.
That shit is the best prank I ever seen bro.
Like Shador, for him to still keep it going,
him and Shiloh and they had their parties
and fucking with their family,
bro I would to shut shit down
right then. I'd have been done. That's why I fuck with them.
I do a quarter got pranked. Yeah, which is crazy. Yeah.
So you're Jacksonville trading up for you. Nevermind.
So he probably he probably shut it down after that. All right.
Everybody gets the fuck out.
It was at the drive.
I should do it and then I'm like, keep it rolling. That's why I fuck with them. Yeah. After day one, fuck out. He was at the draft. Like Shadour and him like kept it rolling.
That's why I fuck with them.
Yeah. After day one, get out.
Ain't no more fool.
I don't see nobody.
I hollered child when I-
Yeah, I couldn't believe he had another like gathering
after that.
That would have been done.
And he went out.
I fuck with that.
Yeah.
We have a plan bro.
Yeah.
I really hope they do well in the league, man.
He, he got a lot, a lot up.
He's up against a whole lot, bro.
He might get treated like Brownie.
Damn, he really might get treated like Brownie.
I think he won't get more love than Brownie.
Think so? Because people know he was good.
And like to know that he got he got dropped like that and then draft or whatever.
People don't like championing because he's going to be and then draft or whatever. People gonna like champion it
because he gonna be on the bench
and they gonna be like,
push Shador and I think he gonna get more love.
Like Bronny, people think LeBron.
People didn't think Bronny was good.
I got what you're saying.
You know what I mean?
He was actually good.
I'm rolling with that.
Yeah, I just don't be wrong.
I mean, Bronny still had a co-follower though.
Yeah, I'm just saying,
I hope Shador has an amazing season.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
If he have a bad season, I don't want them to,
you know what I mean?
But that's the beauty for getting drafted in the fifth round.
If he have a bad season, then shit,
he's supposed to be the fifth round pick.
Okay.
Yeah, but I'm saying like how Bronny,
they like this nigga is whatever pick in the draft
and he getting talked more than the Warriors,
I mean, Washington Wizards pick.
Like that shit was tough, bro.
Yeah. I don't know.
For sure.
To this point, they was talking more about him
because obviously he bronze.
But they was saying that like he get talked about more
than him and he can't hoop.
This nigga can actually play.
And I ain't saying Bronny, Bronny can hoop.
But I'm just saying that's what everybody done.
He only average four points at college

It depends on what hotel we in.
You know, some of our hotels that mic bookers, they don't have cable.
The last one, what the fuck was that?
We went to this ancient ass hotel,
we got in there, it was a fucking jukebox.
No shame to Mike, but.
It was a red jukebox with a TV in it.
That was the fuck it is.
The elevator had carpet,
and that's when I knew shit was gonna get real dicey.
It gave like New Orleans vibe.
Don't just do it in my favorite city.
They would never do no bullshit like that.
No, it was real.
It was freaky, more fancy, about that place.
It looked like a clown was gonna pop out.
Swear to God, bro.
A swing might be in the closet.

I wasn't laying in that bed.
I sat on the edge and said-
That moment I got there, I said,

My name is Brendan Patrick Hughes, host of Divine Intervention.
This is a story about radical nuns in combat boots and wild haired priests trading blows
with J. Edgar Hoover
in a hell-bent effort to sabotage a war.
J. Edgar Hoover was furious.
Somebody violated the FBI,
and he wanted to bring the Catholic left to its knees.
The FBI went around to all their neighbors
and said to them,
do you think these people are good Americans?
It's got heists, tragedy, a trial of the century,
and the God damnest love story you've ever heard.
I picked up the phone and my thought was,
this is the most important phone call
I'll ever make in my life.
I couldn't believe it.
I mean, Brendan, it was divine intervention.
Listen to Divine Intervention on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your

Are you ready to fight?
I'm ready to fight.
Is that what I thought it was?
Oh, this is fighting words.
Okay.
I'll put the hammer back.
Hi, I'm George M. Johnson, a bestselling author with the second most banned book in
America.
Now, more than ever, we need to use our voices to fight back.
And that's what we're doing on Fighting Words.
We're not going to let anyone silence us.
That's the reason why they're banning books like yours, George.
That's the reason why they're trying to stop the teaching of Black history or queer history,
any history that challenges the whitewash norm.
Or put us in a box.
Black people never, ever depended on the so-called mainstream to support us.
That's why we are great.
We are the greatest culture makers in world history.
Listen to Fighting Words on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Nah, but if we could open the show with that,
that would be crazy, y'all.
Got it?
We gonna think about it, B.
While we're thinking about it,
let's just make it official here. Are y'all gonna come and try to about it B. Why are we thinking about it? Let's just make it official here.
Are y'all gonna come and try to date Barbie for the love of Barbie?
But when we announce the guest, I think we're gonna have a lot of women pull up.
Okay, you know women date women.
So what might get?
Well, I gotta bring B money?
What's that? Hell nah.
That's my stud.
Nah.
It's me.

Matter of fact, fuck all that.
Fuck all that.
I was working the door the other day
at the Hendrix Experience
and the little light skin stud came in.
Oh, with the blue shirt.
And you had a strap on,
and the security nigga said,
hey man, lift your shirt up.
And she lifted up, it's like, what you mean?
He was like, ah, damn, bro, you know all that.
I was, bro, I was getting tears, bro.
Who did I tell you?
I told everybody.
She had a royal blue shirt on.
Everybody that walked by me, I said,

You didn't bring her backpack in so she didn't see you.
Nah, nah, nah, bitch stay home.
Don't come back.
She had a Gucci belt on.
She had a Gucci belt on.
She had a Gucci belt on.
So y'all be thinking I be lying about these hoes, bro.
She's one of somebody's fourth-graders.
She had the goofy strap.

He was like, he was like.
She had designer straps.
But dude, I was like, I wonder why dudes like shout to the young boy

Appreciate you Barbie.
The beautiful thing about this show is shit just go left so fast. For sure. Appreciate you Barbie. The beautiful thing about this show
is shit just go left so fast.
Yeah, shout out to Barbie.
She come in and start the bullshit.
It's on purpose at this point.
I've been peeping.
I've been peeping the chaos.
It's organized for sure.
Hey, can we pull this up?
It was a great conversation I've seen.
I definitely we should talk about this.
Who is the best player to never get a ring?
Obviously gonna hard to make that decision.
We could just name a couple of people we felt like,
I'm saying that deserve a list for sure.
Anybody off here y'all thinking of?
I'm gonna just say T-Mac.
Mello.
Okay, T-Mac Mello.
Carl Malone, John Stock and Charles Barkley.
Okay, Chris Paul.
Okay, list so far I'm seeing right here, we got CP3.
I definitely agree with that.
Reggie Miller.
Vince Carter. Vince Carter for sure. Played that many years in the league seeing right here we got CP3. I definitely agree with that. Reggie Miller. That's Carter.
Vince Carter for sure.
Played that many years in the league.
Definitely should have got a ring.
Wish it could have happened.
Mello for sure.
Dominique Wilkins, that's it.
I'm not mad at Dominique either.
John Stockton, Cook them books.
Yeah.
Pat Ewing should have made the layup.
Steve Nash, Arbison.
Hmm, I would love for Arbison to have a ring.
Damn, that's crazy, man.
I had a better career than them niggas man.
Damn.
Nah I'm just playing let me stop.
You about to clip the shit out that.
But that's crazy though.
A lot of the greats didn't get rings.
I wanna see James Harden Westbrook get rings.
I was gonna say those two people right there for me
is probably high on my list.
Russ and James Harden, I would love for them
to get rings bro.
Yeah. Yeah.
Hall of Famers, people who did a lot for this game bro.
I just think T-Mag, I just say T-Mag,
and you know how I feel about Mello in them games,
but T-Mac was like, I feel like the best player
in the league, bro.
And for him not to even pass the first round,
I think that's the craziest shit ever.
He did.
He passed the first round.
Oh, I didn't think the nigga paid him to pass.
Yeah, he came to the Hawks and they all passed
the first round.
Bro, fuck, no, I'm talking about when he killing, bro,
when he T-Mac. If you have a T-Mac, Hawks jersey, call the first round. Bro, fuck, no, I'm talking about when he killing, bro. When he T-MAC.
If you have a T-MAC, call Jersey, call the holla.
Yeah, this nigga, he ain't like you, nigga,
when he came to the team.
No, I had to carry that nigga.
Oh, you carry T-MAC to the second round.
I'm talking about, I'm talking about.
I said that shit too, nigga.
All the fake stat niggas on YouTube was gonna say that too.
I'm talking about when T-MAC.
That's a fact, though.
Orlando Magic, Houston Rocket T--Mac bro was elite bro.
For sure.
Shitty he never got around.
Nah T-Mac was one of the coldest to ever do it but.
Everybody else was cool but they was never like
the best in the league.
Mello had a case.
Yeah Mello was a premier player in the league for sure.
James Horan.
Hell yeah but I'm saying the best player in the league
though T-Mac was like, n***a Colby was in the league, everybody was in the league. T Mac was like, Nigger Colby was in the league.
Everybody was in the NBA.
Yeah. A lot of people,
for sure.
Mello should have got one though.
That's yeah.
Should have got a rookie out of year two.
Yeah.
That's debatable.
Bro.
That ass team.
25 and five.
Yeah. That is a bra too,
but they didn't make the playoffs too.
Yeah. Come on man.
This team won 17 games.
I would have been mad at Cole.
Yeah, I definitely love Melo,
but I just think teammate,
damn for you to be the best in the league,
like they seeing you the best in the league
and you never even, didn't have no real playoff run,
it's crazy to me.
Yeah man, circumstances got a little wicked for a teammate.
He got dealt with a lot of bad injuries
from his teammates though.
Y'all getting hurt, him getting hurt in Houston,
Grant Hill getting hurt.
Yeah, that time it's tough for him.
Yeah.
He got dealt some bad hands.
I think about that 09 Nuggets team a lot bro.
Like if they didn't have to see Kobe bro,
they had a whip man.
They definitely did.
That's one of my favorite teams of all time.
They had a roster full of crash outs.
I remember everything, but I never remember
playing the 09 Nuggets.
I don't remember them.
I mean, I remember that team, but I don't remember
the game we played them.
And I'm surprised, because Mello was one of my guys.
I wore my socks like that because of Mello.
I'm surprised I don't remember them.
That's kind of crazy.
Yeah, that is crazy.
You don't remember that crazy ass team, bro?
I don't remember playing them.
You had a way in a home game versus them niggas.
No, I don't remember playing them.
Wow.
And I was a Mellow fan, and they're like, damn.
Damn, yeah they had a.
I really don't remember playing Mellow in Denver,
I remember him with the Knicks.
Yeah.
But shit.
You had four points. But I don't remember. You have four points.
But I don't remember.
Jeff had four points in 2009.
One for nine.
Damn. Damn.
What was you doing?
You was getting them up, what are you fighting?
What year was that?
That's 09?
That's 09, November 7th, 09.
That's my rookie year?
Damn, we must get blown out.
16 minutes.
I got one.
100 to 125.
I mean, yes, yes. I was about to say it had to be something. I was gonna say, well, you. 16 minutes. I got one. 100 to 125. I was blown out.
Yeah.
I was about to say it had to be something.
I was gonna say, well you got 16 minutes,
you got some playing time.
Two free throws, four assists.
My boy won for nine.
That nigga was nervous.
He was nervous.
Nah, I wasn't nervous.
He didn't think he was gonna get in.
Yeah, I knew I wasn't getting in.
That's probably what it was.
Well, I shot two or three, my boy got comfortable.
He took nine, the motherfucker hit one.
Yeah, he was hoopin'.
Yeah, I ain't never gave a fuck.
Nello gave you out 30,
Constability gave you out 27.
I don't remember, bro.
What did Joe Johnson have?
Joe Johnson had 22.
Damn.
What did Josh Smith have?
22.
Damn.
Marv Williams had 14, Al had 11,
Mike Bibby had 11.
That's crazy, I do not remember that shit.
We must've went out good that night.
I did never yet, because I got to play.
I definitely played.
Right, I'm saying you had a sucky statistical game,
but that was a good day for you.
Yeah, I scored.
Yeah, that was fire.
That's crazy.
Did you shit on that rookie year or what?
Nah, that wasn't a good year for me.
See, that played into your career, show them stats. That's a good year for me. Yeah, see that played into your career show them stats.
The second game you played, seven minutes.
Two points.
One for one.
A little bit more humble.
We lost.
Yeah, we lost.
We must have been in our ass beat.
Yeah, we lost by 20.
Nah, DJ, you right though, bro.
That was an iron race, 100%.
Yeah, bro, they got to it for sure.
But it's crazy, like you said, in NBA,
so many people have historic careers and don't get a ring.
Like, the media overinflates that so much, bro.
I had a co-career, bro.
If I didn't have a ring, bro,
it don't mean my career wasn't shit, bro.
I mean, it didn't work out, bro.
A lot of things have to work out
for people to get championships.
I really think NBA players only give a fuck
what they peers think.
They don't care less what viewers.
I mean, maybe a little bit.
But when you get that love from niggas that you actually want to work with
and work against every day, that's more appreciated.
You know what I mean?
For your mental.
Especially the politics behind it, too.
When you know the politics and what really be happening is just like,
I don't give a fuck about this shit, bro.
The people know I know I was cold. I was cold. I don't give a fuck about this shit, bro. The people know I was cold, I was cold, bro.
I don't give a fuck what I say about them niggas, bro.
This nigga, people like them Jordan said I was cold.
Fuck these niggas, bro.
That's a fact.
Yeah, bro.
And you look at players like,
we talk about all the time on the show,
people who got paid, Joe Johnson, crazy career getting paid.
Even like Tobias here is crazy career.
Cause he got paid and he's still contributing.
Like, I don't give a fuck what y'all talking about, bro. I'm a legend at the bank and I got respect for my peers. Matter of fact, shout out to Tobias here. I career. Cause he got paid and still contributing like, I'm gonna fuck with y'all talking about brahma legend
at the bank and I got respect for my career.
Matter of fact, shout out to Tobias here.
I'm glad you said that.
My nigga had to correct some shit for me.
So now I ain't never seen no ho shit like that.
I said, ah, that's my nigga, I fuck with that.
So she was lying on your name, brother.
I fuck with that.
You know how we ride for you on the show Tobias.
Shout out to Tobias, man.
Shout out to the gang, man.
This is my nigga through and through.
So we had a couple of moments like that
with a couple of you NBA niggas.
So it was just gonna have to be up.
About that.
Somebody puts a smut on Sabaya's name.
Man, that's crazy.
Shortness of line on his name.
But shout out to, bro, good luck to y'all.
We appreciate you for tuning in to the show every day, bro.
We definitely big fans of your game.
Hopefully we'll get you on one day for sure.
That is funny when girls just start random niggas.
This is the whole time she's random. She did bro. Random niggas day.
That's a random nigger.
It could have started some whole shit for no reason.
You be in all them DMs, that's what he said.
I said that young.
I fuck with him for locking in though.
That mean he really paid attention.
He was like hell nah, he didn't say no shit like that.
We don't play that.
I feel that for real.
She's good at saying anything.
Slaps and booyah shit.
Avery Bradshaw can say any nigger that shit. To be serious. That's crazy. She did. say anything. She's gonna say anything. She's gonna say anything. She's gonna say anything. That's crazy.
That's crazy.
She was lying on that nigga though.
I was like, bro, what?
I don't know, it's crazy, bro.
Yeah.
I think I was probably like 22.
I'm old as hell now.
That was a long time ago, dude.
I wanted to ask you this, obviously at different times
when you first came into the league,
how you feel like you would've adjusted now
for like social media and all that shit is so crazy now.
Like how would you have napped in this era of the NBA?
I ain't do shit.
See, the thing about me,
you had to know me to know my real personality.
Like if you was on my teammate,
then you knew like, man, that nigga really just a fool.
Like he really clown all day.
But if you ain't know me,
you would think I'm probably mean as shit.
Cause I don't talk, I don't try to do no interviews.
I ain't dapping niggas up.
Yeah.
I ain't trying to be in the limelight.
I was there to get the money and go home.
Yeah.
Do what I love, hooping, go home.
When I was at home, old fool.
Maybe y'all know me, so y'all already know the whole time
I'm talking shit.
Yeah. Joking.
But I ain't want nobody to see that side of me.
I remember when I used to come down there to the,
hey nigga, we went to the club and shit,
but you ain't hanging with none of them rap niggas and shit.
Atlanta was a time back then.
You wasn't, you was definitely nigga,
we gonna go out, we going back to the crib type shit.
Yeah, I wasn't.
I always thought it was weird that people like,
hung out with niggas that they ain't growing with.
I always thought that was weird to me, like,
damn, how you cool with that nigga?
Like, that ain't your man, like.
But that was me being immature, like,
I didn't realize, like Courtney Lee said something
to me that was really, really, I kind of stuck with me.
It was like, yo, why you mingling with niggas
and you gotta pay for everything.
At that time I was like, cause it's fun.
These my niggas I want to experience this shit
with my friends cause we all grew up doing it.
But then when you get a little older,
you start realizing like it is kind of cool
when you go to the bar and they get somebody else like,
I got that motherfucker cuss.
You like, damn.
So as I got older, I started looking at it
a little different, but I still wouldn't change
my experiences I had with all my friends.
Nah, hell nah.
Nah, and I just couldn't understand how niggas was like,
like this rap nigga is my homeboy now.
Like, no he's not. You genuinely did not, I'm about, you did not.
I remember a couple of times niggas inviting us play,
you was like nah bro, we're gonna go here
and he's going to the crib.
Yeah, I wish I was more.
More sociable?
Yeah, I wish I was more sociable.
That shit should just be weird to me.
I ain't no groupie, bruh.
But now that you get older, it's like,
they might just been fans of yours,
like you fans of theirs.
And they was, though.
And it's like, it's cool.
It's cool to be a fan of somebody.
At that time, I'm like, nah, he no nigger.
He was not a build a relationship type nigga.
Hell nah, I'm like, no nigga.
That's a fact.
I'm like, no nigga be like T, like my T-ga fan.
Hell nah.
I listen to your shit in private. I'm like, you fuck with that new tape you dropped?
Mm-mm, playing that shit out there, motherfucker, in the court.
It's just so fucked up now,
because like a lot of players, like you see,
they personality be the reason
why they stay certain places, you know?
Like they didn't.
Uh-oh.
Yeah, I knew that drink wasn't good.
Turn over.
Yes. Fuck, nigg't. Uh oh. Yeah, I knew that drink wasn't good. Turn over. Yes.
Fuck, niggas.
It's waterproof.
Hey, no ho shit, bro.
Can you wipe that off?
Thank you, brother.
Come on, DJ, I'm good.
Did you just hear this nigga bite?
Wait, Mike.
Were you about to Clorox him up?
Damn, nigga.
I won't be at the morning shop,
I'll be at ACOT, nigga.

on his shit.

RIP.

About to leave this episode to two new X-Boxes that the creator-
Little Mikey about to get right.
All right.
He say he want to go to Kendrick.
Speaking of that-
I told y'all they don't pay me enough.
Speaking of that, like, you know, like,
y'all got kids or whatever.
What is it like when your kid,
I don't know, y'all finances like that or whatever.
I kind of do, but not really.
Literally not much I can pay.
Yeah, but what is it like when your kid,
what is it like when your kid,
I don't know how y'all shit was before we started potting
or whatever, so I'm not gonna say it like that.
Like, y'all couldn't do for your kids or something,
but I'm saying like when you ask your kid and you like,
yeah, I'm gonna get that shit for you, man.
Like, yeah, man.
Come on, man. Like you, Mike, you wanna go?

Yeah. I don't know if he watched the show or not.
So I'm like, oh, okay.
He wanna go to Kendrick.
You like, man, you gonna get to see Kendrick.
No, we still want to see Kendrick, but the seats we got.
That's what I'm saying.
Now the seats are very different.
Very different.
Yeah.
Thanks to Cleo Fox,
only who sponsored Kendrick Lamar tickets.
I personally can't afford them,
but they did buy my son tickets for his birthday.
So thank you.
Yeah, but I'm saying like,
what's that feeling like?
Like even when you take your girl,
like even like when we went to WrestleMania,
I would never bought those fucking tickets.
That right there.
Yeah, those were the...
You know what I'm saying?
I would've never been in the building.
Yeah.
I ain't gonna hold you, as much as I drove myself,
I feel like I had other people fucked up
because we just walked so close
and I see other people like,
yeah, I can't wait to get my damn,
we just pull this shit off the dribble.
Yeah, like shit like that.
Like I'll be like, damn.
I appreciate those experiences,
but so far it's like, I haven't done nothing yet.
I can say that I don't, that I just, you know, that my kid asked for. I haven't done nothing yet. I can say that I don't, that I just, you know,
that my kid asked for.
I haven't done nothing yet.
Oh, y'all not using the power.
I'm not the power, but like the strings we got.
Like I didn't, I didn't ask for it to go concerts and shit
to take like P and it's like.
But y'all know that's my shit.
Y'all know I do that.
So I really like.
You was gonna do it either way.
Yeah, y'all know I don't use to do that.
But I'm saying like, y'all ain't like asked music head. But I'm saying like, you ain't like,
I have not done shit yet.
Oh, you gotta ask somebody like,
yo, can we go to this so we can get,
and y'all go backstage?
Like y'all be close as hell, like.
Oh, I have, I use all my networking capabilities.
Granted before, my son loves basketball,
so I always used to use my pace and finesse
and my jobs to get him stuff like that.
But, see, OT, y'all was like,
oh yeah, Jess, wanna get OT ticket for the championship?
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I use all my networks yeah, just wanna get OT ticket for the championship. Yeah. Yeah, cause all my network.
We gonna see Kendrick Friday and yeah.
I mean, I pay for him.
See, that's what I'm saying.
I would have asked.
I mean, you probably ain't got no,
but we don't know nobody.
We probably know somebody.
You know what?
But it might be somebody that work with Kendrick.
I did ask.
We did ask.
We can only go to the St. Louis show though.
He said he can only get us at the St. Louis show.
When is this?
I mean it's a little late now, I asked back
when it first dropped.
Oh.
That's what I'm saying though, shit like that.
Follow up.
I mean, I shouldn't have said like money wise.
I mean like just shit doesn't call out resources.
No, it ain't even that money wise.
I really just haven't done nothing.
Shit that we didn't have access to.
I've done all the cool shit with y'all.
I think like the shoes and shit,
like not having to try for the shoes.
That's a blessing.
I ain't gonna lie, my celebrity has helped me
at some shoe stores.
Oh, you're famous.
Most definitely.
Okay, oh boy, baby.
My boy got a Snipes deal in the low.
We gotta address that one.
I don't know, you know, we got other shit lined up.
Ain't nobody eating no deal yet,
but the family, they got other shit lined up. Ain't nobody ain't no deal yet, but the family,
they took care of Snipes, they blessed me and my kids.
So I got you.
For sure.
I just think it's cool, like when we experienced shit,
like we talked about like taking our girls,
families or whatever, cause some of the shit,
cause some of the shit you can't really,
like even playing in the NBA, granted I stayed, cause some of the shit, cause some of the shit you can't really, like even playing in the NBA,
granted I stayed in like some of the best hotels
and went to China and did some fly shit.
But this shit different, cause I don't got no,
I don't gotta do nothing.
Like I had a job when I went there,
like it's a job, but this is like fun.
You had practice.
I had practice, like it was like, damn man,
we gotta do this shit, Appearance, whatever.
Like that WrestleMania shit, I'm like a kid.
Nigga, like you said, when Stone Cold came out,
I'm down there buying shirts and shit.
Like eating donuts, like I was like, I was 10.
And I'm just saying, them experiences was crazy.
So I'm like, damn, I'd be dope to like do that with.
I had kids, I'd be like, shit.
I told them niggas that, I'd be dope to like do that with. When I had kids, I'd be like, shit. I told them niggas that.
I said, honestly, the wrestling world,
those are the most famous people I've ever been around.
I've never seen nobody,
I've been around a lot of motherfuckers,
I've never seen nobody react to wrestlers,
especially celebrities with status.
I've never seen that before in my life, bro.
These niggas don't act like this at basketball games,
football games. Like that shit is different, bro. Yeah,iggas don't act like this at basketball games, football games.
Like that shit is different, bro.
Yeah, you don't gotta be cool at wrestling.
Yeah, you know what I'm saying?
So, I got some respect on wrestling.
But yeah, bro, I haven't,
I really haven't done nothing yet.
I planned to, but I ain't pulled that celebrity card yet.
All right, best hotel we stayed at so far.
I'm going somewhere with this, by the way.
Okay.
Was it Dallas?
Oh. Was it Dallas? Oh.
Was it Dallas?
Was it Dallas?
Was it the company Dallas?
I ain't gonna lie y'all.
I like San Fran y'all.
They all fucked with the V hotel.
San Fran hotel.
Fire.
That's me.
What was that?
That's me.
It's that little.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, Orlando, Orlando.
The, there you go freak Mike. The Ward Off. Orlando, Orlando. There you go, freak, Mike.
The Ward Off.
We was here, the Ward Off.
The Ward Off.
Chant to the Ward Off.
It's a counterpoint, please go watch our episodes
with Etwan Moore and Todd Gibson,
and then you can let me know how much you like that hotel.
So, but respect, though, respect for sure.
We had the opportunity to stay in Philadelphia.
We could've stayed at the best hotel
in the United States.
Literally, in both seasons.
Everybody said it.
It's literally the best hotel in the United States.
It's the best one in the world, or in the United States.
And these niggas chose the worst hotel in the United States.
We're not gonna say the worst.
This Wild Wild is going.
I'm not gonna say the worst hotel.
Oh, we like Wild Wild, let's go.
No, Wild Wild recommended it to Mike
when we was on the phone.
I just wanted to say that.
When we found out.
I don't know why, but that was the funny part.
I really want y'all to see this hotel.
When somebody says, hey, I got two options for you.
Go to A or B.
You think A and B are similar.
Yeah, very close.
Not A is the best in the world and B is,
No, because that is a far, that was a Michael Jordan
in the shack that looked like Michael Jordan.
The price difference was 1500 a night.
Sword of God.
399.
And boy.
Oh that hotel was 399?
It was 392.
They owe us a hundred dollars.
We owe us the whole thing.
When you said it was 3.8 stars.
All my life we would have stayed at the Hilton. If stars. All my life we were gonna stay at the Hilton.
If that bitch was 400, we gonna stay at the Hilton.
We came back to Sheraton.
Yeah.
Easily.
Wallow said A or B.
Nah, we ain't wrong because we trust Wallow,
but we was probably supposed to stay at the other one.
They were gonna say the problem is that we found out.
We're both on the same street.
It's another one of those.
Knowing how he is, it was the other one.
I'm gonna tell you what's funny,
because I left out for a second
and the Uber took me to the
I pulled up, I said, this is not the hotel
I'm going back in too.
Oh, so it was another one.
That was a leak, yeah.
Bleak, bleak.
That guy here.
So they're never gonna do business with us again.
Oh, we gotta pay anyway.
Oh well.
This isn't a sponsored segment.
Jeff just, you know, Philadelphia Four Seasons
is the best hotel in the world, clearly.
In the service, in the United States.
1,500 a night.
We would love to come to a podcast there.
Yeah, hopefully we can experience that one.
No, what do we say in Chicago?
That was beautiful.
What do we say in Chicago?
Yeah, my room was epic in Chicago.
Noble was crazy.
Noble was nice. It's now fucking with me.
Hey, y'all, I'm telling you, Boston was fire, too.
I'm taking my ward off thing back.
Boston was fire.
What hotel did we stay in Boston with, Big 3?
That was my favorite.
The Newberry.
That hotel was elite.
None of them was fucking with that Four Seasons.
And all these hotels are premium hotels.
They not fucking with that Four Seasons.
All right man, Four Seasons tap in man.
We trying to do a lot of power in Philly.
Let's get it.
I'm going to Elbow.
I'm going to Elbow in Chicago.
All right.
That was a vibe.
Shout out to D-Rose man. Shout out to the team.
What else happened in this world, man?
Tara Easton, mama.
Oh yeah.
Did she have a place?
Nah, she said I raised a killer.
She said she raised a killer.
She said he would start on the Warriors team right now.
And he would.
I think Tara Easton would start for the Warriors.
He would.
I'll take him over to Moses Moody.
Yeah, hell yeah.
Yeah, respect to Moses Moody,
but Tarre Easton is a bucket.
He'd be getting like 23, 24 minutes a game
and he comes in and gets straight to it.
One of the coldest young talents in the league.
Yeah, I fuck with Tarre.
My favorite part about it, she was on Twitter with it
and dude came, gave her some static.
You know what I'm saying, fan club shit.
She said, please show me a picture of you and Steph Curry.
Show me a picture of him, you know what I'm saying?
Like, get off his dick, bro.
My son is cold, don't disrespect me.
And we need more of that.
We need more get backs on Twitter
because we be out of pocket.
Our parents out of pocket right now though,
but you already got Tyrese Halliburton dad pulling up.
You got her tweeting people.
Is our parents too young now?
Like we are.
Nah, because I feel like Ty,
Kevin Durant mom be on the same shit.
She step on shit.
Yeah, but she do it from like a loving place.
Like even when she was talking to PJ,
she was like, I love you baby,
but he about to kill your ass.
Yeah, she checking me.
Yeah.
But I ain't gonna, if my son goes to the league,
I can't tell y'all, I might be,
I might be LeVar Ball.
Reaching it to the league, I'm talking crazy.
I ain't getting on the court, getting people's faces,
but I'm wilding. I'm teaming rap it to the league, I'm talking crazy. I ain't getting on the court getting people's faces, but I'm wilding.
I'm teaming rap.
My hell nah man.
We lit.
You made it to the league, we made it to the league baby.
Turn her up.
I'm just a different kind of nigga though.
I just, I probably chill.
Cause I understand.
I understand.
Growing up in like watching like AAU and shit
like the parents tweaking out, it's kinda,
this shit get bad.
That shit get bad.
And no matter what's going on,
you really don't want to bear a kid
had that spotlight on you.
That's a fact.
Like I know he probably like damn,
nah I mean, you know niggas love they momma,
so he be probably like, my momma rhyming for me,
but like, shit let me just, let me just hoop real quick.
And I don't even want to be in a position
to where I feel like I gotta defend you about none of this
because you know I'm a slob for you.
Your momma tweaking, she in tune nigga.
She locked in.
Yeah, that's different.
When your mama tweeting, that's different.
I don't wanna have to.
She's in the all in the social media world.
His mama prior age.
Nigga, we old, we ain't that motherfucker old.
Shit, Tarik's probably about 21.
I mean, even if she's in her 40s.
Motherfucker just said, they got 21 year olds.
You're right, we out of pocket.
I'm out of pocket.
As of mama, maybe 43.
Yeah.
She's tweeting.
Tweeting is crazy.
But shout out to your mom,
shout out to your support system though.
Nah, she hold it down.
Hopefully that don't just, you know,
hurt you on the back end though, for real.
Cause you don't want mama to start being known for that
and then that gas or the dude even more, even more.
And that'll fuck around, potentially play with your money.
And more or less you don't want nobody coming at your mom
cause these people on the internet is nasty.
You have to, that's what I'm saying,
that'll play with your money
cause you will tweak out about your mom.
Oh God, cause the moment that nigga have a bad game,
they gonna be like, hey, you know, they'll call them out.
Everybody already screenshotted her ad.
They know her now.
Yeah, you know what I'm saying?
You know, they get out of pocket,
start calling her beads, all type of shit.
Yeah, now I got to talk to you.
Don't like miss the game winner or something.
