What's happening, brother? Let's get to it. Bisho, man. Hey, man, I gotta give you some credit, man.

You was one of the first people I seen with the P6000s on. So we had a conversation on Twitter about them. I'm like, them damn are like the new Air Force Ones. Like, you just gotta slut them out and just swap them out, bro. Hell yeah, I'll fuck with these. This is my favorite color.

They got a bunch of dope colorways, but this is the best one to me. Bisho, no. I'm like, Ricky Mike, he team Vermeiro, even though I ain't seen him in over Vermeiro's a long time, I know what the beef is. He's 6,000s T, or the Vermeiro's? I got both.

Cause that's a tough colorway. The Vermeiro's feel better, but them look better. I agree. I know where you at in this situation. I'm some team Vermeer. I do like, I got the same color way, but the Vermeer definitely feel better. Show me, shout out to Coachy shoes to my right.

I got my dog, young Nacho, young Teague, how you what? Man, I'm chilling. I ain't no shit. Jordan Nines, I don't know why. They wasn't about to die. They wasn't about to die. They was in a box. I just happened to look at them and grab them. Those are about to die. They wasn't about to die. They was in a box. I just happened to look at them and grab them.

So those are fire to me. I always respected those shoes, but I never understood why they was on the Jordan statue in nines. I fucked with them white and blue ones though. All the French blue with the gray? Yeah, those are very, very tough. I'm sorry.

To me, them was the hardest ones, and the only cool gray shoe I actually fucked with are the nines. I love the cool grade nines. Yeah. I think they're very elite. My favorite nines is probably the cool grade nines. Yeah, the cool grade nines are super duper tough.

Not in part. Man, we getting to that point of year, man. We on Basosa. The tax time, is that retro five, that metallic? Is that gonna be the tax Jordan? You know everybody about to head down. Oh yeah, I need them. Well, I got them. My mind's already secure, I just gotta pick them up.

Shout out to the plug. For sure. We always have a 520 staple shoe. It's probably gonna be the metallic file. Last year it was a four. We all wore the fours during All-Star weekend. That'd be hard if we had a sweatsuit with some white stitching.

We asked for a lot. Yeah, that's kind of what we're asking for. We just asking for a sweatsuit at this point. Hey, shout out to the new merch, man. Samples just shut down. Let me see the sample, man. You got a sample? We are not showing those on air,

but I got you, as soon as this episode is up. You can't not think that's the one. You said what? That's how I think that's the one. That's the one? That's the one. Oh, well shit, since we here, fuck it. That can't be the one. You don't think there's one you said what I think that's the one that's the one I was shit as we hear fucking that can't be the one you know, I let's talk about it. Let's talk about it. All right Let's let the chat help us what's that? That's the one for me Yeah. All right, so I'm on the front, sitting on a 520 right here.

Balls on the back. Mix and shake it motherfucking poor, ho. Mix and shake it poor. So, does pants come with that? No. It can if you want it to though. We can do anything. I fuck with that, but I just think we need a regular club

520 sweatsuit with like club 520 on the pants like our OG shit last year. Yeah, those are the staples are staying. We still have those. Oh, okay, cool, cool, cool. That's just a new, another design. Where the staples at? I need a new one.

We got some first turn over right now. We got some child wickets. Well, I hope they ain't come from China because Trump shuts that down. Yeah, I was thinking about it. I was like damn, the OG Balenciaga 527 Elite. Yeah, that shit is a halt on my operations. Yeah, so that motherfucker is over with.

It's pre-orders only. You might not get that bitch on summertime. Tap in for sure. We're the sweatshops at a nap because that's what we need to tap in with. Sweatshop is crazy. I'm not condoning that. I think the price is going to be a little bit different,

but you know. Probably cheaper, but damn man. Don't she come from China? Boy, there's supposed to be some upset people, boy. There ain't not much shit coming from China that motherfuckers are shit about right now, bro. China. Everything come from China. Damnuckers are cheating about right now, bro? China. Everything come from China.

Damn, Trump wilding, bro. I mean, of all the things he's done, that's definitely an important one, but yeah, he's making some moves out here that affects everybody. That nigga about to lay off people in the CIA, that's crazy. The fact that he will allegedly gave up.

You lay me off and I'm in the CIA, I'm letting all the secrets go. You will die. Yeah, you gonna die, but shit. You didn't tell it on here, so shit, the CIA, shit. It's free, it's free, yeah, I'm telling all the secrets, yes, they do have, I know who killed Martin, like I'ma tell it all. Oh, you told Martin, you done.

But he was on that too, he was like, now let's declassify the file, and I was like, all right, Trump, play if you want to. I'ma tell you everything you need to know, you fired me. I think somebody gonna do that though. No, I think they can say it. They gonna fire some of these people they gonna start talking, bro.

Allegedly they offer severance to a lot of people. They're trying to get rid of our message. I've been working in CIA for 28 years. You about to let me go? Damn, you just gonna start telling, fuck it, bro. I'ma die anyway. What is, okay, so what's like something? Like a price, 68, 70, you know my friend. What's something that's in the air

that we really don't know, but we think, you know. John F. Kennedy. All the assassinations, we definitely, there's people who know everything that happened with everything. So y'all gonna get up there and tell them people who did that shit. I don't give a fuck about that.

I mean, respectfully, I ain't going straight for JFK. Who killed Tupac? That's what I want. Let's get that on the west. That nigga's in Aruba. I just realized, just so we get out of this political conversation, it says mix it, shake it, pour it on a nigga's back.

I wasn't gonna diss the merch on there, but I was a little alarmed by the, I don't wanna be walking around a nigga saying mix it, shake it, pour it. Whose idea was that? Mix it, shake it, pour it, dang it, down,, you know. Who's idea was that? Mix it, shake it, pour it. Dang it. It's more like June Merch, but respect.

Sound like a Sierra song. And I was missing something. Touch it, bring it. Who put the mix it, shake it, pour it on the back of the shirt? I don't want to, the merch lady. Respect. Yeah, that wasn't ever my quote. That was a B hand shirt.

We break it down. Stats, analytics, and of course Chris Rose is bringing his perspective on being a pro in the media world as well. Listen to football today on the iHeart radio app, Apple podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts and you will be glad you did. Hope you could join us for the postseason run. It's Julie Stewart Banks. I'm doing a new podcast from iHeart Podcasts and the National Hockey League and I'm paired a new podcast from iHeart Podcasts and the National Hockey League. And I'm paired up with one of my favorite players, the always quotable Nate Thompson.

I wore nine NHL sweaters and I have story after story to share. And believe it or not, I have plenty to say and not just about hockey. Believe me, he does. Energy Line with Nate and JSB is the name of the podcast and it's going to be, well, it's going to be quite the ride. We're officially line mates, Nate. We're the Energy Line. We'll have plenty of folks join us, current players, some of my former teammates, Hall

of Famers, and wait to see some of the connections that Julie has. She has quite the Rolodex. Okay, we'll lean into Nate's playing experience and tap into our interests away from hockey and try to do what Energy energy lines are supposed to do, provide an emotional boost. How do you feel about all that, Nate? I'm vibing, Julie. I'm ready to roll.

Listen to Energy Line with Nate and JSB on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. It was a moment that should have broken me, but just because of how I was raised and my bullishness and arrogance to want to be great hardened me. It gave me a platform to be so singularly focused on greatness. We all have moments like this.

Something happens that's supposed to break us. But it's in these moments that we discover what we're really made of. I promise you, if anyone knows this, it's me. I'm Ashlyn Harris, two-time Women's World Cup champion and goalkeeper for the U.S. Women's National Team. In my new podcast, Wide Open, I'll sit down with trailblazers from sports, music, fashion, entertainment, and politics to explore their toughest moments and the incredible comebacks that followed. Listen to Wide Open with Ashlyn Harris, an iHeart Women's Sports production

on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Presented by Capital One, founding partner of iHeart Women's Sports. If he went to the city and turned back up, like, hey, I'm still that nigga here. I'm the boy, yeah. That'd be crazy.

But he got so much, I think he got smoke in Toronto, right? Yeah, it's a little friction up there, but. Fuck it, they still love him. I'm going for Drake. Yeah, they do, the mass majority. Yeah, but he Drake, easy. Yeah, he's, yeah, I know we get carried away with some of this back and forth, like the internet shows,

but Drake is still a very important person, especially in that city, for sure. Yeah, but Australia, just don't hit the sign. I just don't know what you're doing, this kind of beef though. I don't know what he does to be back up to the. All he had to do was keep it right. Nigga, after that song,

Drake could have came out with an album, we still, but when he started suing people and all that shit, now it's a little different. He prolonged us himself. By like you said, other antics and shit, and everybody calling you a Karen, and it's like, all right, now you playing the victim role cool.

But, I mean, PND got a situation dropping very, very soon. I think it's supposed to drop on Valentine's Day, if I'm correct. Yeah, niggas ain't gonna, I mean, it's gonna be hard, though. White people don't care about rap beef. That's why I always think he's straight. Yeah, I don't care about rap beef. Like, they don't care, they don't like,

but you know, it hit our community a little different. Like individually, we might not give a fuck, but as a whole, we kinda charge niggas. If we got a heart out in the mouth, we not gonna care, because nobody care about Kendrick shit no more. I ain't heard not like us. Oh, you're, August, I don't know what you talking about.

GNX still got dumb slaps. Yeah, but I ain't heard not like us. Well, it just went back up, bro. He just won them Grammys. Yeah, yeah. So his heard not like us and. Well, it just went back up, bro. He just won them Grammys. Yeah. So his life is worth it. I'm saying it had got, it ran its course. He did his five billion streams.

But it was over with. The Grammys brought it back up. Super Bowl gonna bring it back up again. After Super Bowl, it's shit gonna be dead. I think the Lawsons brought it back up too. Like the song was already popular, but the antics made the song live even longer. He about to hear it on Sunday,

cause that song was definitely getting played at Super Bowl. But it's dead after that. You think so? You're running by your foot. We don't consume music that long no more. It's dead. All Drake had to do was let him run this course and let him do his shit.

He could have dropped that shit with Party Next Door. The niggas would have been. Oh, Drake, make Drake had to do was let him run this course and let him do his shit. He could have dropped that shit with party next door. Yeah. The niggas would have been. Oh, Drake, make sure what you want. Drake make them hits. He might have lost that battle, but fuck it. He got hits. But now when he do all the suing and shit,

you give people like Joe Bud and all them ammo to keep talking shit. But yeah. And that's interesting that you said that part because you said white people don't care about rap beef. You know who else don't care about rap beef? Women. If it's some slaps and some songs that women can put in their caption on this

or some vibe-y shit, his core audience is gonna be right back where it is. Cause a lot of women fuck with Drake cause Drake make that type of vibe of music. Yeah. He can bounce right back on top. But if he come out with another slap, I mean, shit, it's Drake. I don't know if he can have like another slap, slap, like a hip hop rap slap.

That might be dead. Niggas might not just tune into it. Like even some of the songs he dropped during the beef or after the beef, that was kind of like usually, like that shit with Thug. Yeah, that's normally a slap. Yeah, we've been like, yeah, that's hard. But I don't think people gonna be,

you went the other way, bro. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. That's what I mean like our community, you might've lost us as a whole. Like if he dropped hit like, what was that headlines where he was like, don't make me a, what he says? They miss the old drag girl, don't tempt me.

Yeah, or what'd he say? I might catch a body. What song was that? Yeah, that's the song. Yeah, like he could never drop something like that no more. Yeah, I don't wanna hear that no more. Yeah, it's like. Don't ever wanna hear it again. What song was that? Yeah, that's the song. Yeah. Yeah, like he could never drop something like that. Yeah, I don't want to hear that no more. Yeah. Don't ever want to hear it again. Same way I feel about Cole.

Love Cole to death, but I don't want to hear it. I'm the best and I'll prove it. No, just go rap, bro. That's just take it out there vocabulary. Drake helped Gunna get some light off him. What? Had a fantastic year. Yeah. Drake really helped Gunna like,

whoo, right on my niggas face. But that should give y'all an example that you can bounce back cause Gunna dropped a hardo right on my niggas. But that should give y'all an example that you can bounce back cause Gunna dropped a hard album. Under Nodble, bro. People liked the music. Under tough allegations. They couldn't even say, you couldn't even hate.

He had some songs that I liked. And then the nigga that's hating on you or the niggas that's hating on you is having like, you know, okay albums and niggas is going to jail. It's kind of like, hey. Yeah, and I hate Gunna. Damn, not even, no, I'm saying like, that ain't mine. Cause we used to have a, me and my dog, Keese,

we used to have a battle between him and Lil Baby. Like who better Baby or Gunna? We used to always do that. And this was before Baby started, you know, when Baby was up, I'm like Baby killing Gunna. He used to be like, nah, Gunna gonna age way better than Baby. So like, it made me like, hey Gunna,

like I actually like his songs, but I just couldn't be a fan because I was like a little Baby fan. For the sake of the argument. Yeah, just for the argument. Anytime, you know what I mean? You be on that, yeah, I'm about to say it. A nigga could be cold, but just for my point of view,

so I could be right, I'm gonna hate him. Like the Pacers, I actually like the Pacers. Why you bringing this up? I played for the Pacers. He used to do that to Future a while back. Yeah, like I'm just gonna argue my side to a point where I'm gonna make myself hate him. Even though I like him.

Like you'll catch me listening to some of their songs, but that's how I would be. You're really a Future fan. Oh God. And somebody really said, well, Jeff was a rapper, fuck dirt, he's future. I got hype. Don't get him.

As many times as niggas gonna play 56 nights, yeah, niggas. That was one of my favorite albums, but I was a fan of Baby, and then see Gunna like, just slowly keep doing what he's doing, and having hit after hit after hit after hit. Keys finally called me like,

yo, remember that shit you was talking about Gunna and Baby? I'm like. Little Baby always been hotter, but Gunna always been, I mean, Gunner, shout out to my nigga Gunna. He never been hotter. Nah, but Gunna, Gunna's always been a better artist though, forever.

I just didn't feel that way at that time. R.I.P. to my nigga Rod, he used to say that early on, he was just like, he was like, baby cold. He said, Gun, the music just different. I be like, nigga, you trippin'. I be like, nah, the melodic shit definitely hit different. That's why they was a good group. Lil' baby's hotter though, and he can really spit.

He was making bigger songs. He was a bigger artist, you know what I mean? He was a polarizing figure, but so far as music, nah bro, Gun, undefeated, bro. But look how everybody suffered, not say suffered, use a better word, look how everybody was affected in that situation. If they all could get along,

obviously cases and work, that's different, nigga, street ties, that's different type of politics, but they all would have benefited from still having a relationship. Even Drake from the situation, we probably not gonna go into more Drake in the future. That's a hell of a collaboration. Yeah, and Gunna and Baby was, they had a nice collab too.

That was going crazy, bro. I like Gunna and Thug better. Just me personally. That Gunna and Baby, that was a, Gunna and Thug, yes. That was a dynamic duo, bro. Yeah, bro, they had a run, bro. They did, but bro, that Gunna and Thug different, bro.

When my niggas came out with that ski. But they too. Hey, that motherfucker. They too hard, bro. When my niggas came out with that ski. Hey that motherfucker. I mean Gunna wrote the whole thing. But I'm just saying. You think he wrote Baby Bars? No shade. He didn't know right Baby Bars.

No shade. No. No, he ain't on that. No. Listen, I want niggas to know, this music shit. Listen, listen. Play it, it's, this music shit. Listen, listen. Play it, Drip 2, huh?

He probably wrote the chorus. Yeah, I'm sure he did. But he did not write his verse. He killed me. Niggas gotta give Quavo a little bit more. He killed Gunna on that. Niggas gotta give Quavo a little bit more love too, bro. Like niggas really be behind a lot of this music

that y'all niggas love, bro. Aw, now Quavo gets my utmost respect. You can say how you feel about his solo shit, but the Migos is one of the best rappers of all time. I fuck with Quavo. I remember when we met him and he got on the bus, was like, he had Tory Lanez in there. He was cooking up some shit with Tory Lanez.

Yeah, nah, niggas' pens is a lot different, y'all. That's why I kinda put- But he didn't write Baby Verse. Listen, that's fine. I'm just telling y'all, don't be surprised if some shit come out. Cause you can't. But I just tell niggas like, it's as weird as Lil Yachty is.

We know he writes. Chantin' my nigga die, he know. I just say it all the time, bro. That weird shit, bro. Niggas didn't know that City Girl shit, bro. That nigga, them niggas' pens is crazy, bro. So that's a little bit more respected as an artist. Like Lil Baby was just, Gunna was never a street nigga.

Gunna was a, I mean Lil Baby when COVID came out and he dropped that song, that's when his career took off. Cause he was able to play both sides, he was able to appease to both people. Like it always seemed like, to me it always seemed like Gunna needed a thug or a baby to, when in retrospect he was the better artist the whole time, bro.

But Gunna don't got, that's my dog, so. He don't have a freestyle. That's my dog. Everybody freestyle on the hard. Listen, y'all, those are bigger records. Nobody has a Ice Ice Baby either. Who? Vanilla Ice.

Nobody has an Ice Ice Baby either, bro. No, bro. They probably records, but. What's better, Ice Ice Baby either. Who? Vanilla Ice. Nobody has an Ice Ice Baby either, bro. No, bro. They totally be records, but. What's better, Ice Ice Baby or Tweaker? Ice Ice Baby. Ice Ice Baby or Tweaker. Ice Ice Baby, bro. It's forever.

I mean, yeah. And you're limited. I'm gonna take Ice Ice Baby. Yeah, but I'm saying Gunna is like, that first album when he got out of jail, no nigga ever had an album like that. Niggas had songs and impact on the album. When Bootsy got out, when Gucci got out,

them niggas didn't have albums like that, bro. He the biggest ever, bro. That nigga was in jail for 30 days. He got out, he did a song. He was in jail? No, nigga, nigga, nigga, nigga. Look, it's always niggas that never been to jail talking about he was only in there for a little bit. No, nigga, he did a song? He was sick of that, man. No, not a nigga. No, a nigga did. Hey, look, it's always niggas that never been to jail. Talk about, he was only in there for a little bit.

No, nigga, he did a song. I was the dude with the L-nigga. Hey, when you tell a nigga, my time is my time. How did he get there? He talking about, Booty locked him up on fire, he was on death row. He was beating a murder charge against him. Booty wasn't supposed to get there.

Sick with the county for 30 days. Booty locked him up for years. I'm just saying. They be a birders all the time. They be if they compare, they be it. I'm not comparing, they be it. I'm just saying. When Higgs went to jail under the Rico's.

When I got out, my album was better than all y'all. Respect, though. I'll be doing six months of wherever he did. Shout out to that man. More than I can do, salute. Yeah, for sure. Y'all put a need to smoke. Cause I put the juke out for a minute and I was sick.

Baby my bar, bar code would get me up I cry. You were stealing? Nah, somebody was fighting on the bus and they just took the whole back of the bus. Damn, they put y'all in a Rico and a fist fight? Y'all niggas on Keystone for that? Nah that's what I was doing. You was a, T was a little bit part of everything.

I was going this one out in the 42. He was, T was a part of, turn it up. T is an OG Rico civilian. A civilian Rico is crazy. I gotta be fucked up. I wouldn't even fight the audience effect though. Niggas got his head thrown through the window and the glass came down, like scratched my face.

And I ain't know, you know how you don't know. You like damn, they fight, you know, I was just looking. And they like't know, you like damn they fight and I was just looking and they like, nigga you bleeding, I'm like, damn for real? Police came out the back of that bus like, you with me? Yo, I was like, I ain't fight. Everybody like, he ain't fighting. He's like, look at his face.

I'm like, oh, I'm just gonna cry instantly. What the fuck? Prereferential. Scared his head, I ain't did a crime since. Well, I'm still stealing, but. These hands still work. These hands ain't bleeding. I still get some Hot Cheetos out of there.

Ticks his hands. Some Carmack Hot Cheetos in the honey bun. Lethal. Boosted the honey bun, it's crazy. It's on God. I'm stupid. That's funny, man. Shout out to Drake, man.

I think the music was going to slap. I want to ask y'all a question. Halftime Superbowl, y'all think Kendrick gonna drop an album? Cause he knew G&X was just supposed to be the project, but before the album, he's going on tour, obviously. Good time to capitalize. We seen this done before.

Do you think we got a good chance of that happening? I don't, I ain't a Kendrick fan like this. I'm with T. Like I look, Kendrick makes great music. But after that, Good Kid, Mad City, when he went like left, I kind of really slowed down on paying attention. So if he did, I think if he do drop an album, that'd be cold, though. His fans is going to definitely step forward.

I think he's still got a wave, actually. I don't even think it fell off. Nah, I was going to say, Drake, like we said, doing what he did helped the wave continue currently with the situation. He dropped out of Super Bowl. That's tough. Yeah, I ain't even. Especially if it's fire. I ain't even tap into the last drink.

Ah, G&X is fire, bro. That's cool. It is, it is. That ain't really my type of music. It ain't, it ain't. It's on brand. Yeah, it's definitely not mine. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, what's the head, a Squabble up or something? The Wiz freestyle of a Squabble up is fire too.

That is, shout out to Wiz. He slid on that bitch. Wiz went crazy on that. I'm just, I'm more of a future. Wiz been doing freestyles, he just did, I think it's Black Boy Max or whatever his name is, respect to him fucking name up, but he doing freestyle. I think my nigga Wiz back outside this year.

Hey Wiz, man, drop a cushion orange juice too or something. Don't do that, but just drop another fire tape. I don't want it to be a sequel because it's gonna ruin it. Just bring that kind of energy back. Yeah, bitch, say something like that on the track, man. I came my nigga back single again, so it probably, that energy probably there.

Yeah, I need that Wiz, man. I don't like the USC fighter Wiz. I think Wiz to me is like the biggest underground artist ever, though. I like the, I smoke all day Wiz. Like I really. He still smoke all day, but I don't like working out Wiz. I remember Kendrick Lamar.

You like helping church with Wiz? No, I don't like that. 2012, Kendrick Lamar was open enough for Wiz, bro. That's how much Wiz been on. That's how long Wiz been on, bro. Bro, Wiz has been doing- Rick Ross opened up for Wiz Khalifa too here. He did.

Wiz has been doing like festival tours, those type of tours. Yeah. Hard to take it's self. White, big ass menu concerts since his inception. I have never seen an underground artist grow like that. I remember he started off at IU, not saying that was his first summer grounds,

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

He that era. I mean, he's one of the only few of them who could tour big cities by himself, where he was always in their venues by himself. He was doing those type of arenas and for theaters. Everybody else needed kind of help, he did too, but he was always on different type of time. At the clips, he was the only nigga putting 20,000, nigga.

Come on, bro. Drake and Wayne came, he still put more people in their dolo than him when they came here. Yeah, underrated, bro. He didn't do that in Atlanta. No, I'm just saying here. That motherfucking Atlanta boy, that motherfucker was to the sky. That's a different environment, too.

Yeah, Drake and Wayne, that shit was to the sky. Yeah, that's a different environment, too, but damn, shout out to environment too though. Yeah, Drake and Wayne, that shit was to the sky. That's a different environment too, but damn, shout out to Wiz though. Out of that class, he really won the only ones, bro, that superseded like now. Cause Wale was in that era, Bishan was in that era. Yeah, a lot of people. Meek Mill was in that era.

A lot of niggas had up and down seasons, bro. He the only one. Grancy, Currency, like a lot of them. Nipsey, Dom, like a lot of them was good. It was different. It was, he was in the era, bro. He's in the era, though. That's what happened.

I ain't gonna do DJ like that. Dom was in the era. All right, listen, I don't got no problem. I've never heard Dom Kennedy's songs. You have, bro. You have. Somebody gave me a song. I'll play you the Slash, bro.

But at the time, I'll play you the Slash. He never played me a Slash. That's between y'all, That's y'all relationship. I'm a Balfour DJ. I've been waiting for a slap. I've been telling people to comment, can y'all please give me a talk. I'm about to just play a yellow album, bro.

All the way through. Yellow album. I'm Balfour DJ. Dom got some good songs, but it's just different. And you gotta be like in that cult following, bro. It's like, what's your boy with all the cars? Currency. Yeah, it's a different thing.

I fuck with currency the long way. But it's more, I'm off the court. Currency the spitter, though. Yeah, but I'm more off the court than with currency than on the cars. Currency, yeah. I fuck with currency the long way. But it's more off the court. Currency the spitter though. But I'm more off the court than with currency that on the court. Like I don't play currency music. I just fuck what he do though. Yeah, he do.

He do a lot of cars. He a cool ass nigga too though. I like currency though. It was crazy cause we talk about them. Cause he's a fuck with Wayne though. Yeah, he was definitely, he was at no limit too for a minute. He been around for a lot.

Currency, Don Tripp and all them. But, Lido. Lido. Don't do Tripp and Lido. They, they, they- That's they mans. They too literal, they too, they too like, they- That's they mans though.

I'm not saying they they mans, I'm just saying like- You know what I'm talking about, rapping wise, they up there- Probably different for sure. But, like Don can't touch them. Nah, he can't. Nah, he can't, he can't. But, again-

They can't be in the same room. All right, No, he can't. He can't. But again- They can't be in the same room. All right, no, I won't say that. And Lido my dog. That's what they won't be able to say. Tripp, I'll let you and D. No, I'm just saying, it's similar to the co-follower. I wasn't gonna say that.

That's it. That's your own discussion. I'm just saying. Listen, y'all know how, listen, I got five favorite rappers. Jay-Z and then Tripp like third. I'm gonna go Wayne. Lido come to the city, I swear to God,

we'll come to Tennessee bro, fuck with you. We need that interview ASAP. I'll probably go to the way we point out. I'll fuck with Lido. I like, I swear to God I do. He rap like how- You gonna bring Jamora too. He rap how I will rap, nigga just be talking.

Yeah. But Tripp, different. I don't know. How you feel about baby, that's how I used to feel about Lido though. I remember when, shout out when Jamar first got out of jail. So I started fucking with them or whatever,

but they used to play that shit every day, bro. Yeah, that's how we used to play. Still, bro. Every day, nah, that shit was really hard, but I used to be like, man, these niggas ain't better than Ye. Yeah, bro, they're crazy. Nah, nigga, these niggas harder than Ye.

Like Brandon Beez, all them, they like huge shoes fans. That's all we play. Yeah, so I get it. That's tough to compare to in a situation. While we're here, I wanna ask y'all, y'all could take any three or four artists, rap, R&B, whatever, you get to make your own concert. Who you booking?

We making money off the concert? Nah, just for you, whoever you wanna have as your, we ain't no strategy involved, but this is who I fuck with, it's who I wanna hear. Oh, I about say I bring Taylor Swift. Yeah, that's why I wanna be. Oh, I was about to say, I bring Taylor Swift. Yeah, that's why I say no. Bring Swiftie. Beyonce, yeah, we gonna load it up.

Beyonce concert, we Beyonce. So I'm gonna open, Busey gonna open. Busey gonna open. Webby gonna open for you, bro. That is life. He's next. Busey, Webby, for my auntie and them, I'm gonna bring Mary J. Wait, you got Mary J following Webby? Okay, this is the file 20 run loud by the way. We just-

It's just run loud. Different stages. Yeah, that stage better be to all the way. Cause I'm going to Mary J's stage before I go to Boozy. And those stages better have seats for Mary J. Them, they know me, they're about to say it six hours now.

It's standing on the warrior church shoes. It's standing up. It's standing up. It's standing up. It's standing up. It's standing up. It's standing up. It's standing up. It's standing up. It's stage before I go to Boozy. And those stages better have seats for Mary J. Them, they ain't no moment about to sit at six hours a night. It's standing on the warrior church shoes.

It's standing up. So Boozy, Webby, Mary J. Future is closing by the way. This is a nasty concert. So look, this is for real shit. Boozy, Webby, Mary J, R. Kelly, future is closing. So niggas ain't got cases, all type of shit. You ain't got R. Kelly out of jail.

Oh, just wait, you know on 2K, where you just take everything off, take the energy off and everything. It's just full. You play with no fatigue. You know niggas just cut all the sliders off. I don't know how 2K is. Shout out to my nephew, that's how he beat me one day.

Oh, he put all the sliders up on 99 3-pointer. So this is Malcolm Sliders concert for sure. For you guy DJ. Man, that's what he is. I don't know what particular word like B.H. is in, but I'm definitely, Chris Brown is definitely gonna be involved. Definitely something on future being involved.

Wayne is my ghost, so he definitely got me involved. I gotta get an R&B act in there besides Chris Brown. That's where I'm having to self-park. I low key would get SZA in there, but I can't put SZA in the opening part of a concert because that's too disrespectful. But I need her involved as well. Me, my concert gonna be a little weird.

I'm gonna open up with Beyonce. She gonna be crazy, how it's gonna be going nuts. Then I went over for my street niggas, GZ gonna come out. We gonna go crazy. Thees gonna be going nuts. Then I went over for my street niggas, GZ gonna come out, we gonna go crazy. Beyonce fans are going to leave as soon as they see GZ on that stage, but we're gonna go out there, we're going to get our hoes left afterwards, the boots are out, a pretty little sadidi girl get out.

We're split. Yes sir. And the community probably gonna leave, so then we're gonna have GZ. Having Beyonce open up for GZ is already, so we're clearly not making no money. The money is cool. Oh no, the money is, I'm filthy with Beyonce opening up.

It depends on how you put your flyers. Beyonce is open to that. So I have GZ, and then I got, I have Future. Gotta do a GZ, Future, Back 4 the Street Niggas. And then like y'all said, I got a C-Beezy and then I'm gonna close it out with probably like. Close it out with Kills, bro. Yeah, fucking Kills.

With Kills? Yeah. Close it out with Kills, bro. Kills gonna take it home, bro. It gonna get you right. Where you leave. If I'm on some stoner shit, I'm gonna have a Wiz currency, Dom,

and Larry Joe Constable. Oh, ain't no bitch just coming down. Nah, that motherfucker gonna be empty. That motherfucker gonna be DJing. That shit gonna be lit, but it's gonna be a bunch of punk rock motherfuckers. I wanna kill my mom! It's gonna be a whole bunch of hot motherfuckers.

Concert, ain't nobody gonna talk to that bitch. Hell yeah, that's gonna be Stud City. That's gonna be a WNBA concert. Hey, it's Bobby Bones.

I'm doing a new podcast from iHeart Podcasts and the national hockey league. And I'm paired up with one of my favorite players, the always quotable Nate Thompson. I wore nine NHL sweaters, and I have story after story to share.

And believe it or not, I have plenty to say, and not just about hockey. Believe me, he does. Energy Line with Nate and JSB is the name of the podcast, and it's gonna be, well, it's gonna be quite the ride. We're officially line mates, Nate. We're the Energy Line. We'll have plenty of folks join us, current players,

some of my former teammates, Hall of Famers, and wait to see some of the connections that Julie has. She has quite the Rolodex. OK. We'll lean into Nate's playing experience and tap into our interests away from hockey and try to do what Energy Lines are supposed to do, provide an emotional boost.

How do you feel about all that, Nate? I'm vibing, Julie. I'm ready to roll. Listen to Energy Line with Nate and JSB on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. There was a moment that should have broken me, but just because of how I was raised and my bullishness and arrogance to want to be great, hardened me. It gave me a platform to be so singularly focused on greatness. We all have moments like this. Something happens that's supposed to break us.

But it's in these moments that we discover what we're really made of. I promise you, if anyone knows this, it's me.

The first one? The first Khaled album, raw. Monzy had a song with all the- Lil Wayne used to murder his shit. Uh-huh, I'm on one, that album was, that shit was hard. Nah, he got some classic shit too. He got a lot of songs, like the earlier- You say you be wanting to hate him, Khaled so bad.

Nah, you hate people like we just said, because niggas gas him up. He used to gas Khaled so much that it made me just say, fuck this Khaled. Listen, before Khaled found Twitter and all, and Snapchat, I swear to God, Khaled was the biggest, bro. He had all the biggest singles every summer. Back when he said nigga?

Emi Yoghadi. Did y'all let Fat Joe say nigga? Joe, my man. But he stopped though, I'm just saying he stopped. But the we taking over shit, who, we, nigga, that shit stopped. Did he get some more money? Yeah, I don't know that word anymore.

Nah, I'm just saying though, Kelly was the biggest, bro. He was out of pocket for saying nigga though. He used to say it's strong to be. Oh yeah, I never said nothing to Fat Joe about it though. I'm not saying we check nobody, but I'm just saying he stopped doing that was the biggest bro. He was out of Parker Sand nigga though. He used to say it's strong to back. Oh yeah, I never said nothing to Fred Joe about it though. I'm not saying we check nobody, but I'm just saying he stopped doing that. That's when the music changed.

But the I'm So Hood and shit like that, all those old remix songs and shit, that was a slap. Did he stop doing it though because he got checked or he wanted to make a bigger bag? Oh, it was money. He never got checked about it. Yeah, it was always about money for sure. Khaled the biggest bro, he was though.

I fuck with Khaled music. After DJ Drama got locked up bro, it was up. For real. Shout out to Drama for getting all the Gangsta Grills on Apple Music and all the DSPs. I've been seeing a lot of them, like different tapes pop up, that's fire for sure. What's your favorite Gangsta Grills?

Ah, Dedication 2. Yeah. That's not, actually I lied, Trap or Die. Cause we heard that before the album came out. Yeah, Trapper D. And the blending on that shit is immaculate. I gotta go with this. Yeah, I had them songs slow with each other.

Last time I checked, that was, and he was going crazy with the tags and shit. Go to Trapper D, bro. It was one song on there, nigga. I think it might've been a dip set beat. It was a different beat. That motherfucker was so hard. I don't even know who beat it was.

Yeah bro, Trapper Dogg's a crazy type. That's an elite mixtape to me, but Dedication 2. We grew up in some good times, man. We got grown good, man. Cause with that Piff and shit, Sparilla, Sapphire shit, man. Shout out to my nigga, Beano. He had one of the hardest tapes on that Piff, too.

On my mama. That Piff motherfucker. Fly American? Woo! I don't want niggas to sleep. That was our label. See niggas don't know about KI, you know what I mean? Shout out to whatever my nigga doing.

KI, so that song was so hard. You know what I mean? Shout out to the gang. Shout out to Bino. Hey, Bino was nasty, bro. Shout out to my nigga, Freaky Lou. It was a time. KI, so that nigga was nice, bro.

Honestly, bro. He one of the best rappers I ever heard. Swear to God bro. Bro he would go rap with people and niggas would be like, he ain't sign nowhere. We'd be like he from NAP. They'd be like for real.

Every time we used to take him to come fuck with you bro in a studio, everywhere in Atlanta, shout out to Lex Luger. Took that nigga to go fuck with Lex bro. He like, bro I ain't never seen nobody do these one takes like this bro. That nigga was cold. Used to shred big shot. That nigga just didn't wanna fuck with Lex bro. He like, bro, I ain't never seen nobody do these one things like this, bro. That nigga was cold, bro. Used to shred big shot.

That nigga just didn't wanna be a rapper, bro. We couldn't. I think niggas was just, we was before our time. I think that nigga should've ghost rolled for me. I would've did that shit. I would've been Miles. I would've been Mixxake Miles. And Lil' Will, I can't wait till we go to God damn All-Star.

I got something to say about that too. What? How Lou Will tried to overcharge for the Beano verse. He tried to charge Beano? Yeah, he said a crazy feature price. Niggas was just trying to fuck with Lou Will. He put a ticket on there. He put a ticket on that bitch.

Lou? Lou the Gang, we love Lou, shout out to Spank. But yeah, I'm on that, that's the end. He put a ticket on B now? Yeah, I forgot to say something when we was in ATL fucking with him because we was having a good time. We still have a good time,

but I was like, I wanted to ask him if he remembered that. He told us a crazy price. Damn. Yeah. He was rapping then? Yeah. Damn, that's crazy. He had a song with Meek Mill and it was hot.

We was like, damn, that'd be hard if Lil Will come. And I think, nigga, you probably don't even remember. It's crazy you don't remember everything. You had asked him. He like, he was like, wow, Lil Will said this bitch for the 16. Ah, he did it like that. Oh, shit, he had.

We had the hardest, hardest, hardest nigga in goddamn the Midwest for sure. Oh, that nigga had bars, bro. I ain't even a, I ain't ain't cause he my nigga bro. When I first, he wasn't even my homeboy like that. The first time I heard him I said, nigga you rap like this?

When I seen you sitting in the studio I said, he fuck with this nigga. This nigga have bars bro. He had you in his suit? Nah bro. This nigga is cold. This is what me and him got close. I said this nigga can flow bro,

like he really got bars, like nigga, he like Wayne my favorite artist. I'm like bro, you rap better than a lot of people. Every time we brought him around somebody, they'd be like, where's this nigga from man? But his flows and matches get up. Like you would see him, he'd be like, if we was 5'20 now, on my mama we'd have a label.

Oh my God. And we'd have the biggest. That nigga would be. That's a fact. And we done put a K.I. in the 360 dude. All the guys with the new gear. They just like, hold on, you just need to change. We had a throwback moment, throwback Thursday moment with y'all.

Where that nigga at man? Kyle brought it up. I know he's still corrupt. You got back decision now. You would have had to choose between K.I. and Freaky Mike. That's your first artist. I choose to be K.I. Freaky Mike. That's your first artist. I ought to be in K.I.

Freaky Mike is my artist just by default. Yeah, my association. He's still the game, but we really had a million dollar nigga. No cap. That nigga was nice, bro. Shout out to 360 deals, man. That's funny.

That's crazy. What a time period. Listen, man, we in the midst of the NBA trade, and I wanna ask y'all, we see a lot of situations with people like, nah, we ain't going to go to the state, but we see a lot of superstars that we grew up with or in the area that you play with as well,

phasing out. Is it a new NBA now? It gotta be. Like a lot of people ain't fucking with, like we said, gonna say Thirsty, Colin, trying to get somebody. You got other people trading for KD. KD like, nah, I ain't fucking with it. Trying said, don't say thirsty, Collin, trying to get somebody. You got other people trading for KD. KD like, nah, I ain't fucking with it.

Trying to get rid of Jimmy Butler, all of our stars, against your points where they moving toward the end of their career. It's just not a thing no more. I don't think nobody really thirsty to go play with KD and him no more. It'd be cool, but it ain't really a thing. These young niggas is turned.

Jive Morant like, nigga, this my league. Anthony Edwards like, nigga, fuck y'all. Nigga, I wanna bust y'all ass. You know what I mean? The Aaron Fox, all them, they ready to go at these niggas. It ain't no friendly shit. It's like probably the younger players I feel like they wanna play with them, but they ain't really like.

The Superstar young niggas, they don't care, bro. Man, that's all I wanna ask you about, especially you Tig, you look at a lot of young teams like the Rockets, which is like, yeah, these big names are available, we sneezing. We gonna rock with our young talent. And you look at all the teams that's growing, look at the N of young teams like the Rockets, which is like, yeah, these big names are available, we sneezing, we gonna rock with our young talent. And you look at all the teams that's growing, look at the Nuggets in that situation,

yeah, they made a couple moves, but everybody else is like, we just rocking with who we drafted, like we not, star parrot on me, shit to us. Yeah, it just, I love KD, we love Bron, we love Steph. I mean, age, you know, getting older is undefeated, man, for all the time, man. It's gonna get the best of all of us,

and that's all it is. And I mean, KD, Bron, Steph undefeated, man. Father time, it's gonna get the best of all of us in. That's all it is. And I mean, KD, Brian, Steph, they still playing at a high level. But yeah, like you said, these young dudes don't care about that. Like, they trying to get to the chicken, bro. You can make 400 million on a max deal now.

They not worried about if KD on my team or not. It's like, I'm trying to kill. I'm not trying to pass it to him. Now that's a fact, brother. So nobody really care about that no more. So it was just a different league and rightfully so. I mean, that's how we felt about the old heads. Like I was tired of playing with Joe.

Like man, shit, I ain't trying to pass it to Joe and fucking damn, it's running to the corner for this nigga. He old, like move around nigga. So, you know, by the time I'm defeated. When Joe went to Brooklyn, he was like, whew, finally, or? Yeah, I was hype, I was mad at first because it was my first year starting, it was gonna be my third year, so he like,

I'm going to Brooklyn. I was at his crib, he was like, I'm going to Chicago or Brooklyn, oh, he was going to Chicago, he was about to sign with Chicago or something. Excuse me. In my second year, he ended up coming back to the Hawks, signing a big deal, so my third year

was gonna be my chance, starting like full time. And he got traded to Brooklyn. I went over his crib, I'm like, damn, they traded. You know what I mean? Like I get to play with a real point guard. And at first I was like, damn, man, my first year is starting, Joe ain't going to be there.

It's going to be kind of hard then. When I went home, Terrell was like, thank God, you don't got to pass to that nigga and run to the corner. And I thought about it, I was like, hell yeah. Like what? Fuck that, I don't want him passing this. Watch this nigga dribble a the corner. And I thought about it, I was like, hell yeah. Like what? Fuck that, I don't wanna pass it. Watch this nigga dribble a thousand times. Fuck that.

So I got hype, but you know, Joe was still my dog. So it was different. But as far as hooping, I was hype as fuck. Like, yeah, I ain't gotta worry about giving this nigga the ball all day. And it was more, it probably was funner. You know what I mean? Yeah.

That make a lot of sense, especially like, even, I mean, not to keep talking about this trade, but I'm still surprised that that deal happened behind the tables like that or behind the curtain because everybody's so missing eBay, everybody talking about shit. So for a deal like that to happen,

it's just like, all right, we traded superstar like this, cool. Like you said, all the young niggas is like, shit, I'm just trying to get to a franchise where I can just get these days up, man. Like I've seen Ken Martin talking about his son, like we just want to hoop, bro. We just want to get a chance to play.

That's what young niggas is on now. And I wish I had that kind of mindset when I first came in the league. Cause I was all for trying to learn from the vets and we need old dudes to teach you like, man, fuck that. Getting a chance to play, that's the best learning lesson. Go out there and get a chance to hoop. You can figure it out yourself.

All right, these old niggas might not have the same gift that you got. best learning lesson. Go out there and get a chance to hope you can figure it out yourself. All right, these old niggas might not have the same gift that you got. Luckily you was in a good situation though. Yeah, I mean it worked out. But I'm just saying like as a young dude, you keep, I wanna get around some best that's gonna teach me the game.

Nah, fuck that. You wanna get around some best who ain't playing. Yeah. And they can teach you the game. Not some best that's playing that's gonna teach you. Nah, I want some sad niggas that's, oh geez, in a game that don't get in. But I get to play, that's what I want.

I be trying to think of players. I want Taj Gibson. Yeah, right, right, right. Yeah, you know what I mean. Yeah, he old hit at the end of the bench, talk to him, but he ain't trying to compete with you. He ain't trying to give you no bad advice and take your number, your business, excuse me.

He ain't getting the game. Yeah, I be trying to think of players, I'm like, damn, who a nigga like T that just went from scoring a dub to running to the corner to pick a role type shit. I hear you that. Well, we talk about fresh out of college to the NBA. Yeah, like had them there every. I was gonna say that's.

Anybody who got picked beyond number 10, you damn near go through that. If you top 10, you get a chance to play really. But after top 10, you run to the corner. Look at Reed Shepard. He went number three. He ain't gonna get no tick. G-League game, all type of shit.

Damn, Rob Dillonham. You're gonna say Rob is a good perfect example as well. Yeah, like it's a bunch of niggas. You go through that, but like Rob, all right, I wanna learn from some niggas. I don't wanna learn from Mike right now. Mike still play. Mike a cool nigga, but I want Mike to be

at the end of the bench telling me how to get better. I don't want Mike starting and getting his shit off. And then it's how you run the pick and roll young fella. Fuck that. Tell me when we go to practice and your ass don't get in the game. Talk to me during timeouts. You're not gonna talk to me on the bitch

between your asses. I'm talking to Mike Bivvy. He in the game. He like, you see that pass, you gotta be able to make that. Well, I don't get a chance to make it. Make it in the game. Respect. So fuck that.

Give me five gifts now, that's my OG. For sure. I think the league is gonna be in a good space. I think obviously once LeBron moves on, that's going to be the initial hit. They're trying to change his things. But with so much young talent, he seems to be dedicated and also being cheap as hell, too. That's another thing that plays a factor. They know about young development as much as they say they are,

but they all about sitting under that second tax apron. So you will see a lot more teams, probably more competitive, maybe not the same superstar power at first, but it's still going to be good basketball for sure. We think Brown retired. Over under two years, which I got under under two years. He retired next year. Probably bro. I think he's trying to compete to win like before he retires. I think LeBron is trying to put himself in a position to be a team owner.

If the Lakers get good and he stay, I see I think he stay longer. I think he just trying to put his scoring record so high that he never be in jeopardy. Yeah, cause I think he keep having 28. Yeah, I think. 25, 30. I think he just trying to like put his stats so crazy that it just looks like Michael Jordan can't compete.

Like, you know what I mean? Yeah. No, I can see that. I don't think he think he gonna win another championship in LA. I don't think he think he gonna win another championship in LA. I don't think he think that. So I've been on my conspiracy shit going down to right of the hole because it's my favorite thing to do around

Trey one more time. I definitely think that the next six months for the Lakers, I've seen this a lot of different places. They all think it's the most important, but how they jail the rest of the season, I think that's very gonna be important to what LeBron does. Cause if they fuck around in jail and they get a little bit of wicker room

and add another team, that's going to be a team that can compete. Obviously we not expecting to win the championship, but LeBron can still play at a high level. It ain't got to be Batman no more. Yeah. Batman just pulled up. Yeah, I think.

But I definitely think he's trying to get that Vegas team. Yeah, I think he's trying to do that, but I also just think he's trying to put his stats okay. Like he's trying to get top three in assists or something. He's like, he just trying to do shit. Like, he the greatest player ever. That's what he's trying to solidify himself at. Man, I got my son in the NBA and my son,

I watched my son hit his first three-pointer, man. Y'all can't say nothing to him. Yeah, but like, you see every time he do something, he's like, this is 40. Like, you know what I mean? Everything, like, he great. But he make sure y'all know, like, I'm doing shit that's never been done.

I'm like, I'm unbelievable. You know what I mean? Yeah, we might be dead before another Bron walk through the league. Nobody ever gonna, it'll never be another Bron. Like it's never gonna be another Mike. There'll never be another LeBron. I don't care.

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

and moving on to different spaces. Probably won't see another KD. We'll have top players that play like him but we probably won't see another KD. Probably never see another KD. Not a big that shoot that well off the dribble and play like him. You'll see another KD before Brian.

Yeah, but you will never see another Brian. That is not happening. Somebody stay that healthy that long? Never. And Wendy's a freak and we will never see, he will not, never, he's nothing on bra. He just don't have the impact. And hype is different now these days too.

Hype is different, pressure is different. Pressure and it's heavy as Brian. Nobody else will have the responsibility or pressure that LeBron has had. Brian saved the NBA. Yeah, and they're not expecting Wimby to, they expecting Wimby to advance the NBA. Yeah.

Global marketing. Global, yeah. That's it. But we'll never see another Brian. Cause without LeBron bro, I mean I love Kobe. Kobe, that's it. But we had never seen another Brian. Cause without LeBron, bro, I mean, I love Kobe. Kobe is that nigga, but the league was relying on LeBron James. Yeah, Kobe was cold.

We not like, as a basketball here, he like Kobe was cold, but he couldn't carry the league. Nah, hell nah. Kobe could not have been the face of the league. In an unfortunate time period when LeBron became the face of the league, that's when the allegations shook him too. And Brian, Brian brought being face of the league in an unfortunate time period when LeBron became the face of the league. That's when the allegations were shifted to. And Brian, Brian brought being cool to the league.

He like, man, y'all niggas is too uptight around this bitch. Yeah, but Kobe was more of a, like Jordan made it cool. Jordan had a personality that was fly. Yeah. Like you knew, cause we couldn't, we didn't have social media. Yeah. So we didn't know if he was an asshole or not.

All we know was the commercials, the way he played, the dunks, the shoes was fire. We all wanted to be like Mike. We didn't know he was an asshole. As Kobe started getting better and better, you start hearing stories. You get more media coverage. All this shit is Adidas was ass.

Like he couldn't, we wasn't fucking with them. Not them crazy aces. We like, I ain't hating them. Niggas warm up the shrimp today was ass. Like he couldn't, we wasn't fucking with them. Not them crazy A's. We like, they hating. Niggas wore them off the shrimp, that was Kobe, niggas wasn't looking forward to them. We wasn't fucking with them. Yeah, the moon boots and stuff like that, we wore them, but it wasn't like,

it was just Kobe out there. It was, the vibe wasn't the same. But when Brian came, he on high school, his high school game on TV, he got that headband, his energy, he fucking with Jay-Z. He fucking with N.I. Got the hummer. Nigga, we all could relate to that.

We all like, nigga, that's us. They had Brian at EBC, shout out to my nigga, Tana at EBC. You know what I'm saying? That was lit, that was lit. Kobe, we just didn't feel like we could relate to him. We didn't. And Kobe was hella serious too. Kobe was like, nigga, you gotta work hard to be here.

Yeah, and he also, his dad was in the league. So it was like, we knew you was born to play basketball. Like not saying that he didn't have to work hard. Obviously he worked hard, but we knew like, damn, you came from. Oh, who? Brian came from a single parent, his mama nigga got the hummer in high school,

getting trouble. We like, oh, he a trench baby, nigga ghetto. Absolutely, all my friends in high school. Yeah, so we like. For real. Yeah, so we fucked with that more than for him to swag the way he played, headbands and shit. Like Kobe ain't had no accessories, nigga.

Nah, he didn't. Niggas didn't want the Kobe nappy front on. Niggas was all tapped in with that. Nah, nigga, shut up. Hey, good, we talk about bro a lot on this show. Bro had that bitch in seventh grade on my mama. Old Copi package was laid. But so far it's like the impact niggas feel like they can relate to just Brian.

Whole story. Fuck his game. Niggas never try to hoop like Brian. It's just like, bro, he is a personable motherfucker. Yeah, I feel like I could beat Brian. Because they was mad. Nah, you was tweakin'. But niggas was mad because you was a hell

of a basketball player buddy. I was tweakin'. Yeah. I listened, trust me, I know I was tweakin'. Yeah, but. But I just felt like nigga, damn. You hooped in threes too. Yeah, nigga everything.

I thought I could, like Brown, I was like damn. Brown, I could be like Brown. That nigga from like Ohio. I'm from Indianapolis, nigga. Why didn't you get a fame? Why you had to like Mike Berrys? I thought I could be Iverson too. Oh, okay boss.

Iverson was my first boss. That's a crazy, I'm saying Iverson, I'm out, my older brother put it in my head. Like you short, you have to pull like this nigga. I didn't even know who Allen Iverson was. I thought it was a fake name. Damn, that's where my brother used to get makeup nicknames all the time. Yeah.

So he's called niggas J-Dog, just makeup niggas, like he was EBC or something. So he was like, nigga, you gonna play like Iverson. I'm like, nigga, ooh, that's hard. Where you get that nickname from? He like, nigga, you don't know who Allen Iverson is. I'm like, nah, he like, oh, that's for real. For context, like, nigga, how old were you?

Nigga, it's when Iverson was at Georgetown, so it's 96. Oh, okay, yeah, when Iverson was at Georgetown, I was 96. Oh, okay, yeah, you was baby-teeth. Yeah, he was 96. I ain't, nigga, he like, he gonna play like Iverson, he do this crossover, and that's how I started watching, so then he get drafted. I'm like, damn, I wanna be like this nigga.

He get braids, braids. Iverson and Braun is a crazy blend, bro. But then I'm saying, we got high school, you see Braun, and you like, that nigga ain't too far off from my age, nigga. Cause Bron, your eighth grade year, you seen him. Yeah, it's like, nigga, I could be Bron, nigga, if I grow, like, you know what I'm saying?

Shit like that. I just didn't grow. So that's when Sebastian, when I seen Sebastian, it was like, far. Yeah, you was more Deris Washington, Sebastian. Nah, I was better than him, I was better than him. Yeah, you was more Derris Washington, Sebastian. I was better than him. You was better than Derris Washington in high school?

I just, I was just from Indiana. Talk your shit. Tee. Bro, I'm telling you, I went from- I ain't gonna lie, bro. On my mama, bro, I love you, bro. You was raw, bro. But just to say it like that, I just,

I'll give it to you, but I don't like how you said that. Nah, I'm gonna give you, I'm gonna give you. Darius Washington, if you watching, bro, I swear to God, and shout out to my nigga, Sauce Tyrone, everybody. We used to be on that shit, bro. That nigga Darius Washington was special. When he went to go play Bassey,

bro, that was a big fucking deal, bro. I would have killed them, bro. I was just from Indianapolis. And we ain't, I went to a high school nigga where everybody on the team was fucking raw. Yeah. Like we ain't had no bum niggas. Like these niggas played with niggas that was ass.

Everybody on my, nigga in eighth grade, our team was the number two team in the nation. That was right behind St. Vincent and St. Mary. So at night, when I got there as a freshman, we had six, seven niggas going deep. We had an NBA, we had Courtney Lee on our team. I can't remember who's on D. Washington, but Shabash had some niggas on his team too.

But I get it, I get it. They had a nigga that went to the Lenovo. We had two NBA niggas when I walked in school, right in Courtney Lee. But I understand that. You talking about teams, I'm talking about player versus player, bro. D. Washington used to hold his own, bro.

He was a little nigga, bro. 30 a night, bro. I'm not saying that, bro. I'm saying I went to a team and a school where nigga that system. You had to show the ball, everybody average 10. Yeah, the system was the system. No, absolutely.

Everybody was nice. San Antonio Spurs. So I didn't know I was nice because our team didn't allow you to be nice. Like Eric Gordon as a freshman averaged 20. You know what I mean? We knew like damn that nigga a problem. Like, but I used to think I was so far off of him

because I didn't average 20. I'm like, damn I only getting eight nigga nine, but I didn't realize nigga I only play 14 minutes. Nah, I'll forget it. So then when I realized it, like I go to ABCD camp and I'm ranked zero. I'm not, I'm like, imagine if I was to, I played for a mom and pop AAU team, shout out to No Excuses, and I played with all my friends that I grew up around. I go to, I play on a one AAU circuit with Indy Heat,

one year, one year, one year, and I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like,

I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, out to No Excuses. And I played with all my friends that I grew up around. I go to, I play on a one AAU circuit with Indy Heath, one year, go to ABCD camp. I go from never ranked to 50. I think also on your excuse too, if you would have got to go play in New York City,

like the way that those guards play, the way you play, the fact that you could shoot and dribble just as good as them, you would have had crazy exposure. I think my nigga would've excelled out there. I'm just saying, I ain't sleeping on Rondo, Darius Washington, Bassey, what's my other nigga? Who else I'm thinking about? But Rondo was fired up.

Like them niggas was cold back then. In my high school, just high school alone, nigga. Ray Mar Smith and them, that was nice, bruh. That was nice. I played Ray Mar Smith, though. Like, they was nice. I. They was nice. I played Ray Mar Smith, though. Like, they was nice. I'm not saying they wasn't nice, but they say something about it when it happens.

Like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like,

like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like,

like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, bro, you was always better than Edwin. No, I'm not taking him. They're in Washington, but they older than me. I'm not taking Edwin. I'm just telling you, Edwin Real some damn. When I used to see them, I used to be like, nah. Cause Cory Luce and them had a name, but you was better than them for sure. Yeah, cause when I played them, I'm like, nah. I get that, bro. That's crazy.

Cory Fischer, I was like, nah. Nah, they used to be better than Cory Fischer. But they was number 10. They was, absolutely. They used to be like number 10. I'm like, damn. But shout out to them, they was good players, but I just think they were so much better

because you used to read about them. Yeah. Then when I seen Mike Conley, I'm like, like Mike gets cold, but like he like that. Well, Mike average them 11 and 7. And I'm like, these niggas averaging 40 points, these niggas not better than Mike. Like, you know what I mean?

Yeah, Evan Rios was them there at Austin Rivers in Florida back in the day, so it's different. That's why you said that with Mike too, because everybody was just like, you see everybody I mean? Yeah, Evan Rios was damn near Austin Rivers in Florida back in the day, so it's different. That's why you said that with Mike too, because everybody was just like, when you see everybody else, he's just like, oh yeah, Mike is fucking way better than him, and he'd be chilling. Like, if he really was on that,

Mike would really be right out there. I think bro would have been, like I just, I didn't like the energy. I'm just telling you. Teagan Lincoln high? But I wouldn't have been, I would have killed New York, because I, like, niggas that killed New York, like Kim Bacall York because I like niggas that killed in New York,

like Kimball Cole, he killed, the niggas is Cole, but the ones that killed, killed, they were really good. Sebastian's a really good player. Yeah. Lance Stevenson is really good. Yeah, bro. Sebastian was thing in high school.

Yeah, Kimball's really good. But like, I played against some other dudes that was from New York and I was just like, they famous. Like Paul Harris, bro. 6'4, 215, bro. Cold, Johnny Flynn, cold. You used to dominate niggas, bro. Those niggas are the niggas that went in,

like Paul Harris was a undersized player, but he was cold. But Johnny Flynn was cold. He went to the league, top five pick. Like, I get it, the niggas that was cold was cold, but it was some niggas that had a lot of hype that they was just okay. Yeah, right.

Damn, I'm about to have some nerd shit from back in the day. My fault, y'all. No, I love when y'all get on that type of song though. Yeah, you definitely deserve the credit, bro. A lot of people are like- I'm looking for it, I'm just saying. You're not looking for it, but you deserve it, bro.

I would've had a good time against Falls, against Darius Washington. I would've felt very comfortable. I don't think you would have, I'm saying this. Especially in my senior year. Teague would have got off his shit. Bro, Darius Washington gonna kill too. I ain't saying he, I played Eric Gore.

I played Eric Gore in my senior year. Darius Washington was nowhere near Eric Gore. No, hell no, that's a different prospect, bro. That's what I'm saying. I was very comfortable in that game. No, I don't think you were scared. I'm just saying, I don't like, I just don't like your energy like,

nah, I would've busted his ass, bro. He'd have got his shit back. He might've killed two. I never saw him stop him, but he was going, he was number one, he would've left like, that number, that number of 80. That nigga damn very good. Yeah, that nigga with the funky braces, all right.

You know what I mean? That nigga special. Shout out to D. Watch, man. I hope you're doing well, whatever you're doing right now, bro. Look. Yeah, nigga special. Shout out to D. Watch, man. I hope you're doing well, whatever you're doing right now, bro. Look. Yeah, shout out to him, though. For sure, man.

Hey, people ask me in the comments, be hearing on your chef side, when I ask, they say Super Bowl party, what should people whip up if they got guests coming over, man, what's your idea of Super Bowl situation? Well, depending on the build of your family, always sliders. Always rotel dip.

Always chicken wings. Any type of assorted chip is good. Is the baby shark meatballs acceptable at the Super Bowl party? If they're teagin' them had some one year, I don't even eat that shit, but they had some one year that was pretty good. Are you gonna fuck with,

Paul, you gonna fuck with the baby shark meatballs? Nah, I don't eat that shit, bro. But some one year that was pretty good. Are you gonna fuck with, Paul, you gonna fuck with the Baby Shark meatballs? No, I don't eat that shit, bro. But the bro in them had some one time at his house at the old 520 that was pretty good. Okay. So shit like that, bro, just finger foods, really. Any finger foods, you know what I mean? Fruit, you know what I mean?

Keep your PAs right, you know what I mean? Eat a pineapple hoe, you know what I mean? Jonas Velatunas went to Sacramento King. Yes, for a second round pick. How do you feel about that? They're about to have the Luther Wayan national team front quarters, him and Subonis, I guess.

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

You got Malik Monk at the one, Zach Lavine at the two, D-Boy D boy to three them two at the four and five They don't got no shooting besides. I mean Malik exact but that's enough to big Like actually now about was gonna come up the bitch just King of Mercy gonna start Yeah, I like balancing this off the bench most definitely Yeah, you think the king still trying to have aspirations of doing something this season or they just saving face? I mean getting Valetunas, I mean they going for it. Cause I don't know why you would get him if you was trying to like blow shit up

or tanking or whatever you want to call it. But to get Valetunas and Zach Lavine, y'all going for it. Y'all going for it. I see people who are sitting down, the Kings is thirsty for a first round exit. Cause they gonna do whatever they want to to get in the playoffs and just lose.

Nah, shots of the Kings. Yeah, this trade deadline has been crazy. A lot of stuff we thought was going to happen, has not happened yet or may not happen. But we also didn't think that Luka was going to be traded. Also with the Lakers, I've seen this at Maxie Cleaver may not step on the court for them at all. He might be another piece that's going somewhere else.

Yeah, that's a fact. They need a big bad. I thought they should have been, I mean, for second round picks, I don't know why they wasn't in the Valjicum's Conversations. But I don't know why they wasn't in the Val Tunis conversations. But I don't know if that fits, like fits Luca gameplay. Like you said, you need a two foot jumper with him. I don't think Val Tunis is at the point of his career

where he catching hoops in the war. Good pick up. That's all I got to say. For the Kings for sure, I ain't mad at them at all. Good pick up. Cause I thought it was spooky. I thought that was going to start tanking for real, but it seemed like they still trying to

make a little push for something. That's a decent ass team, bro. That's not no Washington Richard squad, bro. Losing the Aaron Fox is a huge hit to your organization. Most definitely. But they still got some valuable pieces. I fuck with it. They got a 2K team.

That's a team I wanna hoop in a 2K. Everybody is a capable man who can shoot and drop to the basket, but in real life, I don't know how they look. Before we get out of here, trade deadline, probably now it would be a little bit more before it drops. I got any other ideas, conspiracies on what may happen, which I think should happen? Does Jimmy stay in Miami?

Yeah, I don't think he gonna get traded. Okay. Yeah, just sit down, bro. Yeah, I think it's quiet, you know. But it could be a blockbuster. I'm saying it's that Brad Bill said he cool. Yeah, Brad Bill, shout out to my homie Black Tray, he was just like, it's crazy that Brad Bill

turned into Devin George. If you know, you know. Yeah, yeah. Black Trays. Yeah, I'm cool bro. Yeah, fuck all that. But they also said it's a possibility, wild theory that KD could go to Miami for Jimmy. I don't all that. But they also say there's a possibility, wild theory, that KD could go to Miami for Jimmy.

I don't like that. I don't think it's gonna happen, bro. I don't even like that though for KD. See, he might stay where he like. Miami fire if he go there. They lit, but there ain't no championship. I think he was sworn in, bro. I think it's better than the Phoenix team.

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

than that Phoenix team beating somebody. But hypothetically, he go to Miami. Who wins in the series between the Bucks and the Heat? Oh, the Heat. It's a good series. It ain't. It ain't. It ain't. Oh, Sham got.

But I don't even think the sun's gonna go, like do anything, I don't see it. But he might just be comfortable out there, like I'm cool, I'm just, bro, I'm chilling, bro. I don't got time for Pat Riley trying to do body fat. I would not wanna go play for Pat, not at my big age, bro. Yeah, I ain't trying to do body fat,

I ain't trying to be taking up and shoot around. He said, even though I ain't got nothing. Yeah, he probably like, I ain't got time for that shit, man. Tessie KD for body fat is crazy. If Pat Roddy do that, he's a real psychopath. We see he licensed out the three P to the chiefs. See, y'all can tap in.

That's fire. Pat, go home, bro. You through, you through. It's a new age, bro. Home and enjoy your life, bro. Enjoy Pat go home bro. You through. You through. It's a new age bro. Home and enjoy your life bro. Enjoy the mob bro. Y'all need to take some God's trips.

Shit, enjoy the mob y'all off in a die. Go enjoy the mob bro. I'm getting with the game bro. Said Pat got a couple more free ages than Zenny. Yeah bro, I don't wanna be hanging around in these entitled ass niggas bro. These niggas is entitled, bro. Pat is 79 arguing with 30-year-olds.

And still doing this kinda crazy. Yes, bro. How early was it, maybe, what, the 70s? Bro, I'm nothing, I'm arguing with Millennials, bro. Don't like who that much bro. It's probably he probably overstayed his welcome. Yeah. You see coach came in.
