Master. Pete, Pete, what it do? I'm good, brother. How you doing? I'm great, man. Hey, congratulations, president of basketball operations at the University of New Orleans. How did this position come about and explain your role to our chat, Pete? Yeah, so coach Tim Floyd, he's one of the greats from the University of New Orleans.

He put a lot of guys in the NBA and he didn't got older, he retired. I mean a year or something ago I told him, I said, man, I'm thinking about coaching in college. And then I didn't hear nothing from him. Then a couple months ago, he said, man, I got a position for you to go take over the University of New Orleans. And man, the rest was history. It's nothing but God. Like I said, this is a town where I grew up at.

This school, the University of New Orleans has always been about privateer nation and for a black man to get this, you know, I definitely got to salute Dion Sanders for opening the doors, man, showing us that we could do it. So, and I just love me and him got on the phone call. I was saying, coach, how do you think I should go about this? You're like, man, take this first step. The rest is his. And man, Shannon, it's a blessing, my brother. I'm telling you, it's a blessing because,

especially me coming from hip hop, this history to be able to, I'm running a whole program, basketball operations, everything. So it's like, now'm running a whole program, you know, basketball operations, everything. So it's like, now they gotta listen to us, but you know, the program was in, Sham was too. So think about it, they ain't gonna give us a plan. Oh yeah. You gotta build it up, you ain't gonna start,

I can't let you start from the top of the mountain, I gotta make you climb up the mountain. Yeah, so think about it, and you know, it goes with my business model. I always find a problem, and if I find a problem, then I know what the solution is and I could be a part of fixing it. And so the game had changed. Look at Rick Pitino. He done turned St. John's all the way around. Everywhere he goes, he turns it around.

Yeah. And think about it, right? This NIL stuff is now like, my thing is catching the billionaires, the millionaires, the alumni from the University of New Orleans and saying, look, I caught them all yesterday. We got in the room, you know, we need y'all to make some deposits so we can go get the best players. Yeah. The best players. And I mean, the job is easy from there because a lot of guys want to play for me. You know, I've been throwing this for a while.

I coached Demarja Rosen, Lance Stevens, Brandon Jennings. So I come from a program, my P. Melo Ballas of creating dogs. And so I know what that looked like. And I got dogs coming already. They want to be with this program. And so when the portal come, I told them no puppies allowed. Oh, dog. Hey, Avery. Oh, dog, we gotta win, man.

So thanks for the chat. My thing is we won four games last year. This is a division one university. Oh, no, that's unacceptable. Yes, sir. So you know what I'm gonna do. Like, it's only up from there. And so I'm humble, I'm hungry, I'm letting God lead me on this journey.

I mean, I just got to keep climbing from there. Man, listen, that's a beautiful thing, man. To honestly, to get a position like that in your hometown, despite your background in being a rapper, because I know about your basketball game. I know about your IQ when it comes to that. So be able to be passionate about something else that wasn't your main focus, but it was something that you love. And now you get to actually live that dream.

Like I got chills because I have things that I want to do where I've never been presented the opportunity to do it. And now that's motivating to me. Cause I'm like, man, if, I'm like, man, if P could do it, I know. Yes, and that's what I want all of us to feel like. Because think about it, we already stereo-tying. Yeah, yeah. So, you know, in this position where I'm at,

it's not like a lot of us in these positions. And so the school that I'm at, you're not gonna see a lot of us in his position. And so the school that I'm at, you not gonna see a lot of us at these positions. And so now it's about me doing the right thing, being able to do this under the NCA rules, show them that the same way Deion Sanders did, like he did it. And now we can do it in basketball.

And it don't bring, so when you come to our games, I done learned from the go-to already, when you come to these games in New Orleans we the coach it's gonna be turned all the way up so you know I'm bringing y'all out man it's yeah it's gonna but but you're gonna see some of the best basketball that you could see and basketball changed my life and saved my life and I went from Master P to Coach P. I mean, it's a blessing. The CEO P. Yes, yes.

And to be honest with you, this is a business. Yes, absolutely. And that's what this is right now. Basketball is a business. These kids are making money and now I've got the right NIL deals that I could match anything. I could go after the number one players. You know, we're going to have a spotlight for these kids to where the NBA is going to come to where we are because we're going to put these type of caliber players here and we have them.

We are prepared to compete next year and to grow and get better. Peter, I'm asking you this. Go ahead, Dr. O'Reilly. Listen, I have a question. Now, when it comes to going to get players, will you ever be in a position or ever have to do the part where you go into homes and actually visit the parents and talk to them? Will you ever do that? Yeah, I mean, to be honest with you, a lot of these parents grew up with me,

grew up on my music, and they know I'm gonna take care of their kids. Like, that's the most important thing. And I'm gonna let them understand what hard work is. And I say, I want dogs. You got to be able to be dedicated, put the work in. I know you're going to say, oh, man, Master P, that's my coach. No, it's Coach P.

We want good characters. We want guys that's going to come in here and work hard. And we're going to take it from there. Like, if you got that lead ability, then we're going to make sure that these NBA scouts come in. And right now, I mean, I'm about to sit down with Steph Curry because we are under-armored school, and that's the first thing I said, you know?

For us two black men to come together, we're gonna take this thing and blow it out the wall. Like, we're gonna take this to the next level. Like, you're gonna see even Steph Curry brand. It's like, you know, this is an opportunity that we really can blow this up and we can help each other. D, let me ask you this. How do you get people to see other than what they see?

Knowing because a lot of times where you grew up, how you grew up, okay, he a rapper. Man, he ain't nothing but a rapper. But you parlayed that and said, oh, no, no, no, I can sell product. I can sell cereal. I can sell chips. I can sell soda. Boom, boom, boom. They say, okay, well, no, all you do is rap and all you are a CEO.

How can you lead a basketball program? How can you get in the collective, the NIL? How do you get, how did you, P, get somebody to see other than what they saw? Well, you know what? This is not a traditional business anymore. So you're not gonna find the traditional coaches. I mean, the same way they had to believe

back in Rick Patino. Like for me, I haven't been doing music for over 20 years. So they can't look at me from that perspective. They got to look and say I've been giving back to the community for over 25 years. You can look at my track. I've been doing the right thing for a long time. You know what? Nobody's perfect. I'm not perfect, but I know that I'm letting go of leading on this journey and I'm gonna lead my team. I'm passionate about what I do. I love what I do.

Like this is not about money. This is what I love to do. And I'm able to do that. This is what makes me most happy, being able to help young people, especially through education. Think about it, I've always been on a financial literacy journey. So I've always been on a financial literacy journey. So I've always been teaching and helping the next generation,

the ones that want to listen. I don't want from NFL players to NBA players to major league baseball. I've been helping showing them like, you know what, we have to understand the importance of financial literacy. And now to be able to help brothers in this sport to be successful because everybody's not going to the NBA, right? So now I'm gonna show these kids why they wanna come and play for me

because not only that this is a basketball game, but most of these kids are feeding their families right now in college. It's no more time waiting to get to the league. You know, I know what it is to be hungry. My grandparents sent me to college with $5. Like, go it on, I hope you make it, baby. And guess what?

I came back and made it and brought her a house, brought my grandmother a house. And so I know what these kids feel, what they've been through. Me and Brandon Jennings talked about this last night. I said, what made you so good? Brandon said, man, look, I know the conditions where I was at.

Nobody wasn't gonna outwork me, even though they was bigger than me. You know, I was just with a dog on the court. And then I got a chance to be around UP and see mansions and see all these nice things. And then that even motivated me even more. So imagine these kids around me gonna see that I come from the gutter,

I come from nothing and look where I'm at now. Now they get a chance to touch me and play for the team that I'm coaching. But I'm gonna coach them hard, I'm gonna coach them tough because we're not gonna win if we don't create toughness. And that's what this about for me, and that's off and on the court.

And so I'm not only a coach, I'm gonna be a father to a lot of these kids. The same way Deion Sanders happened to be a father to a bunch of these kids. I'm giving some kids opportunity man, that never had this type of opportunity before. I'm being honest with you, like, because the regular coaches

are being afraid of these type of players. Think about it, I had DeMar DeRozan, he was out of Compton, Brandon Jennings. Think about all these kids from some tough neighborhoods, Lance Stevenson, but I knew how to talk to them. I knew how to, because think about it, you can't talk to everybody the same. No, you cannot.

Because guess what? A lot of players are gonna, they gonna, they gonna. They gonna buck up, they gonna buck up if you talk to them and stuff like that. Yeah, and so you know what my thing is, right? If I could talk to these players and coach them in love, and it's gonna be tough. Sometimes I'm gonna have to talk to them tough but guess what they're gonna know that I'm gonna

be there for them through thick and thin and that's why they want to come be on this program with me. And plus we got a great city, we got a great atmosphere, this is a big city. And so you know my next thing is getting a lot of television time to where we get that time now at the University of New Orleans. It's going to be all about, you know, the privateers now, privateer nations. So getting all these, you know, major channels to zoom in on us because I've got some of the top entertainers in the world coming. We starting off, man, like we starting off, the culture has been built right now.

It's built. Yeah, Pete, one of the things that I tell kids, I said, for me growing up, if I see it, I can be it, I can get it. Yeah, yeah. All I needed to do was see, I saw my brother go to college, well, he went to college, he lived with me. He lived just like I did.

He was poor as I was, I'm doing. He went to the NFL, so if you see it, you should want to, you can be it or you can get it. Yes. Let me ask you this. When you go into what's going to be your sales pitch, because there are a lot of people that's watching this and they're like, OK, let me see what we talking about. When you go into something, let's just say for the sake of argument,

Ocho and I, we're the number one and two recruits in the nation. And we from New Orleans. Let's just say Ocho from New Orleans. I'm from I'm from California. You can come down on my grandma's couch. you gonna go sit on Ocho's couch. What's your pitch? How you gonna get me and Ocho to team up as the number one and number two basketball players

in the country? I ain't just from New Orleans, I'm from Uptown now. So guess what, Ocho, you from Uptown, I know you a dog, and if I'm coming to your house, I'm coming to let your parents know that I'm gonna be a coach that's gonna guide your son all the way through this process. Cause this is a journey.

It's not gonna be easy. I'm gonna be on him, I'm gonna be tough, but I'm also gonna reward him. And I'm gonna put him in a great situation to where he could get the right NIL money, then he could be happy. And also I'm gonna make sure he gets his education, because I know one thing for me,

education has changed my life and saved my life, so if I put you on that right journey, so even if you get hurt, or you go through something now, you can still take care of yourself as a man. I'm creating men. I want you to come here to play for me, but I also want you to love what you're doing, and you gotta wanna be here too.

So if you don't see this the place for you, then it's not the place for you. But it is that I'm not trying to sell nobody because I've been through it all. And I know that I could be there for these kids and show them the right way and then they can learn from my mistakes. But also I could teach them business. I could show them how to create their own products and brands. Also because even the NIL money is nothing to what once you once you make a name for yourself in this college system, you're going to be worth way more than this. And then the end goal

you want to get to the NBA, then guess what, I've got people that that now that's going to bring NBA scouts to our arena to come see you. And so and this is a great city. And if you're from here, you know that. But you also have to be able to police yourself because you've grown. So I'm going to also be looking for your son to be able to police himself, be able to be accountable. And he got to want this because if he don't want this, I can't do nothing else for him. But I could definitely show him everything that I've been through and I could put the right team around him to get to where he need to be at. And that's just going to be my sell pitch because it's not a sell pitch, it's just reality.

Because I'm a Black man that's been through what these Black kids and young men are going through. And I know they're not going to be able to play games with me because I haven't seen it all. And so when they get on this campus, you know, they're going to be held accountable like anybody else, but we're going to win. We're going to get better. We're going to grow together. And that's what it's going to be about. And we're not going to play games with them because a lot of these other coaches are playing games with our kids because this is a business. I'm going to let them know. And guess what? If you get yourself to a position to where you need to go to the league, I'm not I'm not making kids say they need to stay here because I know I can get other kids if I need to. But if you come here and this is where you wanna be and you wanna be in college for right now

until you get an opportunity to go to the NBA, this is the spot for you because we're gonna take care of our kids. And that's what I've been doing all my life. And you could check my record on that. So DeMarge Rose and I had him since seventh DeRozan, I had him since seventh grade. Lance Stevens, I had him since seventh grade. Brandon Jennings, I had him since seventh grade.

I had all these kids all the way through college. So go check my resume. That's a lie, that's a lie. Hey, I have my college coach, Bill Davis, rest his soul. You know what he told me? He said, son, it's after four years, you're not in a better position than you are right now, you don't need to come here. Because if what we have to offer you here is not better than what you have where you are right now, this ain't the place for

you. I'm coming. But, think about this, why go play for them when you can play for us, somebody that really cares about you? Because once you get a part of this system, you're a part of my family. Like think about it. All these other kids you know, if you go ask them about me, they still know me today. Think about it. Look at my track record. My track record right now, right?

I didn't stop Snoop Caree. I let him blossom and grow. Go look at everybody that I didn't create it. I didn't create it guys that they don't, because I tell people all the time it's like finding a used car. And so that's why I say I want to find dogs, because most of the dogs, nobody really want them. Because they probably think they attitude too bad, or maybe they've been through something.

No, I know one thing that we're going to help you get through this if you're serious about being successful. And those are the type of people I want around me. I don't care about what you've been through and like, right? Hey, it's Alec Baldwin. This season on my podcast, Here's the Thing, I speak with California Governor Gavin Newsom. I watch Fox. I pay attention to Newsmax One American News. I don't turn my back to the critics, but there is a sort of California derangement syndrome out there that is just sort of ridiculous. There's notion that this is the only state that has challenges. It's just comedic, but it's damaging. We record-breaking tourism last year. We have a surplus again. We have a state with population growing again. You wouldn't know that.

That's not prevalent. It's not part of the discussion It's been engulfed by the fires. It's been engulfed in the fires. It's you know, it's a failed state, you know, California But for me, you know, it's pride for me again as a guy lives here Who cares about the state is to make a case a new for it and I'm a little clintonia about there's nothing wrong with it It can't be fixed with by what's right with it Listen to the new season of Here's the Thing on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

It's Julie Stewart Banks. 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.

Okay, 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.

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 love 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-damnedest 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 podcasts. Now if you come in here to put that behind you, and you're going to do the schoolwork,

and you're going to put the work in on the court to get better, you're going to put the work in on the court to get better. You're going to put the work in in the summer to get stronger. We're going to make sure you got the right nutrition. We're going to make sure you got the right trainers around you. Then it's going to be on you. You got to have some accountability when you come in here. And if you really don't want it, this ain't the place for you because we're going to push you.

I got a good question. I got a good question, especially when it comes to the young kids, especially today's era, the NIA era, where everything is really a business style. The kids are focused on money They focus on I want to build my brand. I want to look a certain way I want a certain amount of money, but how do you keep the kids focused P especially them dogs, you know that Influence by hip-hop by some of the things that they see. How do you keep them focused on strictly basketball and trying to get to that next level? If your dreams are to be an NBA, how do you keep them locked in when they get the money early?

Well, guess what? If you get the money early, then you need to invest that money in yourself, because that money don't come and go. So if you take that money invested in something, guess what, you need more money. So you're gonna come here and work, you're gonna have a solid focus, you're gonna keep your mind right, because we're gonna show you that. So think about it, right now, a lot of kids go in college. They don't even have the NIL money in a business name.

And in my place, I'm gonna show them that. I don't wanna control them. So if you got your money in a business name, then you can hold on to create your LLC, create your incorporation, right? And so now you have a business so you could go to the bank and invest that money and put it away. Because my whole thing is put this money into escrow, put this money into something where you don't have to touch it right now, unless you need it to help your family or whatever, right? My thing is once we show them that, so by the time next year, they gonna double their money.

We gonna show them how to do that. And I think nobody else cares as much as me in doing that for my players, because I do it anyway. Look at my Master P Master classes. I do that anyway. And so for me to be able to do that for my players, it's only gonna be 12 or 15 players on my team. And to be able to be that close,

to have a family bond with the people on my team. And to be able to be that close to have a family bond with the people on my team that I wanna see successful. Like I said, everybody is not gonna make it to the NBA. But if somebody come up with something, create a business or something while we're in college, if you look at it, the guy that created Tesla, Elon Musk, he created PayPal while he was in college. I wanna be able to show the athletes on my team.

We could do this while we in college. If we stay focused, but you got to come here. It's not about the money. You know, everybody want to make some money, but this, this little money right now, I'm going to show my players. This is the little money. This the end game is where the real money come in at. Once you get to the league, this money here is nothing but to keep yourself going, keep your family going.

Cause we know most of these players are going to come from hard time. I've got players from York hit me up from Chicago, from Philly, from Maryland. I got players hit me up because the, guess what? They want their spotlight. They want their spotlight knowing that this year, if you play for master P, if you play for person Miller, Coach P, that spotlight is gonna be on you. And if you a real dog and you could play, I wouldn't even care about getting NIL money right now. If I'm a real NBA player and you

come here with me, you're gonna make it because all eyes are gonna be on us. Right. You mentioned something like the people that reached out for you, they come from hard times. You know what create tough men? Hard times. Hard times create tough men. Tough men create easy times. Easy men create easy men. Easy men create hard times. You see that psycho high goals, Pete?

You see what you did is that Pete came from an impoverished situation. A very hard time. It created a very tough-minded and sound, hard individual. Then Pete created easy times. Now, in that easy time in which you created, what are those under you in that time, what are they gonna do? You said something very interesting that set up an LLC, set up a court, set up a trust, because what you can do when you have money, you can borrow money against

what you have in that account. You don't have to spend money see that's where they get ahead of me they don't spend their money they spend other people's money while their money grows. I'm telling you what I don't. We're building credit at the same time. Shannon we're building credit we also understanding that okay, if you got somebody look like us that care about you and want to see you win, why not come play for us? Because guess what the main thing is, if you really can play the NBA, we'll find you. Don't matter where you at. Don't matter where you at.

Don't matter where you at. Think about it. So look at Skyler Pippen, right? Back in, Skyler Pippen was on a team that nobody knew where he was that? But guess what he made it to the league step Curry was in in David Robin. Oh Yep, Dennis Rodman look at right now damn a little like all those people that you see right now Even John man rant like oh you just need to be on a division one Basketball team and they're gonna find you. If you good P, look they went way to Serbia and got Luca, I mean they got Luca from Slovenia, they got

Janic from Greece, they got Wimby from France, they got Jokic from Serbia. If you good at anything and they think you can make money off it, they gonna find you. Yeah. Every time. Well I'm gonna tell yall, we got a great arena, we got a great atmosphere, and we're gonna put the best product on the floor. And we're gonna put the best carrots, because we wanna build carrots at the same time. We want people to come here to, you know, we wanna have those testimonies.

Where now a kid could say, man, I went out there with Coach P, and my whole life changed because he stayed on me. He held me accountable. And now, you know, I'm one of the top players in the NBA right now. Like I wanna create those testimonies. And so I want any kid out there

that's watching this right now, if you're a real basketball player and you're a real dog and you want an opportunity to get to the NBA, you also want an opportunity to get to the NBA. You also want an opportunity to graduate from a great university and also have a great staff of people around you because, you know, that's what it takes too. You want to have a good team, a good team around you, people that really care about you. And that's what this is about.

Once you're part of this family, you're part of our family for life. So everybody that's been around me, we still family forever. It's not like, oh, you coming, because think about it, y'all know, y'all have played professional sports. A lot of these people forget about it. But now you have some people you know that you really know that this is your family. You could call them anytime because you know, man, look, I've been around that person. This is bigger than basketball.

It's bigger than football. And that's what this is for me. This is bigger than that. Like, we're gonna make history together, and that's what this gonna be about. And we're gonna show the world that we could do something positive, we could grow, because you think they want us to be successful in this?

Y'all? They don't want us to be successful in this. Because think about it, now they're gonna realize that, wow, not only they come from entertainment, because even sports now, entertainment and sports, they go together. Think about it. It goes together. And we business people, and we know how to create something from nothing. Like I told y'all, I always find me a used car, put some wheels and some paint on it and fix it up. And that's what I'm doing right now. I'm fixing up this shit and taking it to the next level. You talk about entertainment. What do they do at the biggest event in North America is what? The Super Bowl. What do they have at halftime, Pete? Yes. You go to the RBA All-Star game. What do they have, Pete? They have entertainment. So it goes hand in hand.

Let me ask you this, Pete. I'm gonna get you out of here on this one. When the song's said and done, what do you want people to say about Pete? Well, you know what, my whole thing is I don't want us to wait till it's too late, till it's done. And like, I'm not looking at Junior Bridgman life, right? Me and him was gonna do a lot of things together. And I did a lot of work in Louisville.

But we gotta stop saying, I'm gonna get together tomorrow. I'm gonna do it later. We gotta do it now. Stop procrastinating. You know, we got to do it now Yeah, so so my thing is the most talent and The most wealth is in the graveyard think about it And once we go on somebody else gonna do what they got to do with our wealth I want people to know that Pete did what he need to do for his people now Like we're not waiting and that's why this is so important what I'm doing now

This is bigger than student athletes in a basketball game Y'all this is about changing lives and saving lives at the same time because a lot of these kids that come from here They never would get these type of chances or some of these kids getting second chances You know like basketball college basketball is getting older now when you in that transport portal, a lot of these kids been in college a long time. So now for some of these players, if they're really good, this is going to be the last step of feeding their families, getting on a winning organization to be able to get the real NIL money that they can get. My thing is, I want people to remember me for creating future leaders, putting out

people in a position to win. And that's what this is about with me. Yeah. Pete, congratulations on the opportunity, man. I know you're going to do great things because everything you seemingly have touched has turned to gold. You pull your heart, you pull your heart and you pull your soul into it. But I understand this is what I know about you. You love what you do and it resonates in the kids because once somebody find out that you care about them there isn't much they won't do for you for you yeah once a kid know is anything once a person know that you care once I knew that teacher cared

about me my coach cared about me I would move heaven and earth oh yeah because I never wanted to let that person down. Congratulations on this opportunity. I know you'll make the best of this opportunity. Hold on. Go ahead, Ocho. Before you leave, you in New Orleans right now? Man, I'm gonna be there for Super Sunday, man. I'm gonna be second line and all.

Meet me at the park, man. All right. I'm gonna be at Super Sunday. Come on, man. I'm gonna be there. I ain't playing. I'm going from New York. All right.

I'm going to New York, to New Orleans. I'm gonna march all the way. I'm gonna second. York to New York to New Orleans. I'm from the march all the way. I'm a second. You're going to see me. I'm going to have an inline now. Let's go, man. I got to get you some of this power. Talk to me now.

I'm going to get you stuff. Hey, P. I'm going to hit you up. I need to run something by you anyway, but I'll hit you up tomorrow. OK. All right. Appreciate you. Yep. I need to run something by you anyway, but I'll hit you up tomorrow Okay, I know. Yeah, ma'am. I'm P New general manager of New Orleans University the private ears that's dope Man, you're great, dude One of the first guys that I had on club shades your old show

I didn't I didn't really know who I was gonna get and CJ say yeah, you got anybody You pay whoever you got in your phone that's famous, call them. Oh, I got Floyd Mayweather here. Oh, damn, Rick Ross, Master P. Speak, dog, ice cube. Hey, bro, I need a solid, man, I just started a podcast. Hey, bro, we got you, just let me know when.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, that's how it started. And I appreciate it. Having met P only a handful of times. I had never met Rick Ross. Hey, I did mess. Hey man, let me get your number. Hey, I have my phone in my hand. Just hope he see this.

Oh, he came, he got to me. Hey bro, man, check this out, man. I just started a podcast, man. I wonder if I can get you on. I mean, hey, because he had gone to an HBCU for a minute. I think he went to Albany State for a minute. Albany State's in the SIAC just like we were. Boom, it worked.

So it's great to hear him say how, okay, do things and how we support one another and be there for one another. Hey, they know, so that's why, hey, when he reaches out, him, Snoop, Cube, I'm there. I'm there, cause they were there for me when I didn't have, hey, just starting this thing up and it gave us credibility because we had not a whole lot of podcasts when they start out,

was able to trot out the lineup that I trotted out. I knew the first guest was gonna be my brother, but after that that I was like, man, who the hell I'm gonna get? And, hey, from Master P to Floyd Mayweather, like I said, and Ross. Hey, you been on fire, boy. Why are you guys including Jemar Gives in the top five backs? He is. We just overlooked it, bro. You do realize we're going off the top of our dome. Bro, ain't like we got no zero. Like, okay, guys, let me explain how Ocho and I work. Like, okay, we have the list of the rundown, but when you hear me start naming our players,

that's not on there. That's just off the top of my head. That's off the top of Ocho's head. We have a rundown in which the topics we're going to talk about. I know y'all was talking about, well, hey, Ash is probably feeding them information because I was going back and I was telling you we was talking about the Yankees and I was giving you different errors in which the players played. They were like, well, he recalls, oh, he got, no, I don't because we, I didn't even know

we were going to talk about that until you brought up the Yankees and what made them special and then, okay, we go into this field. Okay, we talk NASCAR. I have no idea we're going to talk NASCAR And then I just because I was a natural, if you're from the South, which I was, NASCAR is in you. You watched it. You watch all of them because NASCAR is not like it was. I think NASCAR used to come on CBS, if I'm not mistaken. And you know, Deron Earnhardt Jr. used to drive the number two Wrangler car before he got the black Monte Carlo, the three and had the Gagoor shades.

And Daryl Waltrip drove the Tide 88 before he got the 11 car. And you had Buddy Baker, you had Bobby and Donny Allison, all those guys, Buddy Baker, all those guys. You know, I watched them. Harry Gant, the Skull Bandit, Neil Bonnet, Austin Bill from Dawsonville. This was before Jeff Gordon and Jimmy Johnson and Dale Earnhardt Jr. and all these guys.

That was before them. So that's why, you know, and I remember I used to sit there, what else you gonna watch? You had three channels, on, off and don't mess with me. So it wasn't like you just like it is now, oh you got 500 channels to choose from. Please. But no, we do not have every back. No, I didn't even know what he was going to talk about this. But the backs came up and don't you like that? So I'm just, we just rattled names off the top of our head. It's an honest mistake. It's not

like we know what Jemera Gibbs is. He was special, sensational. He can run and catch. Boy, you about the closest thing we done seen to Chris Johnson, boy. Dr. Frank L. Bellaby says, fast break, pump fake, big mistake. No legends in fact. Hey, what you say today had me dying, boy. SGA, P dying, boy. S-T-A-P-G-A-U-S-A. USA. Well, I was in tears.

That was funny. Kevin Brooke, I'll get on to it. Build a starting offense and defense using NFL football players that are in the media or used to be in the media. Well, hell, that's easy. Me, Stray Hand, Gra, Brady, Moss, Ocho, Moss,

Fred Taylor, Ryan Clark. Sorry, Dio, you ain't made the cut. First of all, you're not beating out Brady or Troy. So and because of the money, we're limited to only two quarterbacks. So I'm sorry. Who else? Let me try to fake. Hold on. Who else?

Right, right. And I just thought about it, I was like, man, Granny, man, Granny probably be, boy, Granny roll over in her grave. I can just hear her now, son,

I could do all things through Christ with strength in me. And I got a tattoo when I came home. Oh, she was pissed. Wow. She was pissed. I was like, well, listen, I just thought about, you know, something I would like, something that would resonate with me

and resonates with you as well, because you're the one who had me in Bible study. You're the one who had me in church every Sunday. Boy, she was hot. Not only was she hot, years later, I got about my senior year in high school, I was probably up to 22 tattoos by that point. What? Yeah. I'm covered up everywhere. I just, you never see it because I'm normally covered up. So if you see some pictures, you can't... Yeah.

Yeah, I almost did my face by accident, too. I'm glad I didn't. Sheesh. Boy, please. No, nothing big, nothing big. You know, small, small, small stuff. But I didn't do it.

Nah, you did the right thing. Don't do that, Ocho. Why would you do that, Ocho? I'm just... I don't know. You thought about it. You ain't have nothing better to do with your time. All you have to say, I really did. I really did think about it.

I did, I did. I was going through a phase. I was going through a phase. What was her name? I was gonna put on my face? Yeah. I was gonna put a little cross. It wasn't no woman. A little tiny cross right here, right here on my face. Yeah. I'm gonna put a little cross. It wouldn't be no woman.

I mean, congratulations to Quin John. I mean, congratulations to, uh, Quin John. I mean, hey bro, Congrats. I mean, first round pick, first rookie season, go to the bowl. You know, a lot of times when you have that level of success, you like, man, that's easy. It ain't. Trust me. It ain't.

There are a lot of guys that play 13, 14, 15 years and never go. Let alone win. I mean, just think about you, you, you're a chief player and you came in three years ago. You don't know nothing about Super Bowls. Yeah. And winning. Yeah. Oh, you played with Tom Brady all those years.

That's a lie. Somebody, somebody Amber Rose. Yeah. Amber Rose got her son's tattooed on her forehead. And she can get rid of that though, right? Because technology is so advanced now you can actually. Yeah, you can get rid of that, but man, nothing hurts. She ain't getting rid of them. I mean, I don't know if you saw the interview, Ocho. She's keeping that. Yeah, I saw it. It was good.

It was good. It was good. I mean, Ocho, for me, I like talking to people like a lot of these people, I had no idea what that would mean. Right, right. Talk to a Tabitha Brown or a Miss Pat or a Amber Rose, people like that. Some of these athletes, man, I'm sitting down,

I'm talking to Magic Johnson. Crazy. Talking to Kat and Donnell Rollins and all these comedians and Gary Owen and Bruce Bruce and LaVelle Crawford. I've seen Bruce Bruce many times before in Atlanta. Waiting and to sit down and talk to him. And you're right, you have a perception.

And then when you get down and talk to the person, and I'm not talking about so much on camera, I'm talking about you get an opportunity to talk to him before and after. I'm not talking about so much on camera. I'm talking about you get an opportunity to talk to them before and after. You know, I like, OK. Hey, it's Alec Baldwin. This season on my podcast, Here's the Thing. I speak with California Governor Gavin Newsom. I watch Fox. I pay attention to Newsmax, One American News.

I don't turn my back to the critics, but there is a sort of California derangement syndrome out there that is just sort of ridiculous. This notion that this is the only state that has challenges, it's just comedic, but it's damaging. We record-breaking tourism last year. We have a surplus again. We have a state with population growing. Again, you wouldn't know that.

That's not prevalent. It's not part of the discussion. It's been engulfed by the fires. It's been engulfed by the fires. It's a failed state, California. But for me, it's not part of the discussion engulfed by the fires. It's been engulfed in the fires. It's you know, it's a failed state You know, California but for me, you know, it's a pride for me again as a guy lives here Who cares about the state is to make a case a new for it and I'm a little clintonia about there's nothing wrong with it They can't be fixed with by what's right with it

Presented by Capital One, founding partner of iHeart Women's Sports. 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. Edgarva 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-damnedest 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.
