Bro. I like your Pacers, man, like I like y'all. Man.
Speaker 6 (03:06):
Shout to Halleburn. You know what I'm saying, We Halle Holley.
Uh talk about them Pacers? Man, do they actually define
the city as a hardworking team? Play every they play
really hard?
Speaker 1 (03:18):
They do?
Speaker 2 (03:18):
They do?
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Man?
Speaker 3 (03:19):
You know you know the Pacers. We we we we
always been a a third leg team or not not
considered a big league team, big market, big market. Yeah,
but but we but we are part of definitely part
of basketball history.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
You know.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
We had, we had great teams, great legacies throughout all
of our years. We never got the big ring. Last
year was probably the closest in a long time. But man,
I gotta say, Man, they're a good team to the
root for.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Man.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Yeah, they on the up and up to man, especially
how the league being built. It's been built, huh for
the league being built? Like, Okay, let's take Okay, see
because they won it right right. That team we're watching
was built like five years ago. They put Lou Dork
on that they win got shaved. They put those five years,
they had to put all those pieces together. And then
last year we saw that.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
And then and everybody and everybody just thought they came
out of nowhere. Everybody thought they came out of nowhere.
Speaker 6 (04:19):
But if you've been watching basketball for the last like
four or five years, you saw that team.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Oh yeah, right, not today, but they're gonna be something.
Speaker 5 (04:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
You couldn't really pay attention to him. You really couldn't
see him during the season. They kind of just popped up.
But like you said, they was already hitting at him.
I like that, though y'all got something. I like nim
hard man, he go hard. Don't like you'all team bro.
Speaker 6 (04:40):
I didn't like that y'all got rid of Miles though.
Man ain't like our Miles went the Milwaukee. I thought
he fit perfectly with that group. Man, they seem and
you know, I'm a big Siakam fan. Like I love
how y'allays Billy. He had been there a long time.
Speaker 7 (04:53):
Yeah, he was.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
He was your oldest vet right.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
The oldest bet. Yeah, and you know how they do
in them games. Man, if you don't show up in
the playoffs certain games, ass is out of there.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
I don't care how good you being them. Then certain
games they like, oh hell no, his ass gotta go.
I mean, I don't I don't hear him saying that,
but that's what they say, that sports man, that sports sports.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
So you think that.
Speaker 6 (05:18):
Yeah, I see them in Milwaukee, and actually when I
watch him, I actually like them better than Indiana.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
That's all I was saying. You know what I'm saying, Yeah,
because that was his team. Like I said, he was
a veteran.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
He's been he's been there for eleven twelve years, and
he was teaching and leading a lot of them guys.
But I think Indiana after last year, they trying to
they want that team to look like that. They don't
want they don't. I don't think they want the veteran look.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
They want a younger team.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Man. They want to because that's what beat them last year,
you know what I mean. And that's kind of where
Miles kind of they they they put the youth on it.
Them two dudes was killing him in there.
Speaker 6 (05:58):
You know, it's crazy, know, what since you said that,
I see it totally see I see why they did that.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Well, that's the pattern of the league. You know what
I'm saying, That's the pattern of the league. What about
them coachs though them coats is not playing, ain't y'all
just got sauce.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
I knew they was gonna get beat by up the
stealers though you did. Yeah, because it because this ship
is all matchups. This whole league is matchups.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Man.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
It blows my mind how they beat some teams and
then something they get to some teams like I think
Pittsburgh got their number. I don't know what it is
about Pittsburgh, but they got their number, always have had it. Well,
we beat them last year. But that's one of them
teams like the Jaguars. That's another team.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
I don't care how many teams men games they lose
a win. They beat us. Wow. So you think, oh,
you think's and you think it's matchups. It's got to be. Yes,
it's gotta be matchups, you know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (06:50):
And and and the cheating ass rest but.
Speaker 1 (06:54):

(10:41):

nineties top the eighties, the nineties, the two thousand top
the nineties.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Now this shit ain't tapping. It's like going back. I
want to go back to the ages. You gotta go
back to the eighties to get them to get.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
Some good ship.
Speaker 6 (11:00):
Well, when I watched the wire, it speaks to the
time in which the wire came out.
Speaker 1 (11:05):

corner on no motherfucking corner, no more. Many young kids
ain't even outside. And if they outside, got damn. You
don't want to be outside of the You.
Speaker 3 (11:15):

Speaker 3 (11:32):
Man, These young dudes got it twisted. Man.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
They're definitely different. Man, it is.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
It's different.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Could you tell us what's going on in Hollywood? Man?
Speaker 3 (11:39):
What are we watching in Hollywood? Well, you know what,
the social media has a lot to do with why
Hollywood changed. And then they came up with the streaming thing,
and it just it just kind of it kind of
watered it down, man, you know. And one of the
(12:02):
biggest problems everybody's fucking famous that I.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Can have a podcast, anybody can stream.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Yeah, so it kind of just like it kind of
knocked the famous people out, you know. So it ain't
you know now now now you know, the worth ain't
in people who put the work in.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
The worth is in people.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
That's why the streamers and and and and no no
offense to nobody, because people get their money. How they
getting it? Yeah, yeah, the waves changed. But it's funny,
how uh, the people who worked hard to get here don't.
Their value is no good no more. It's like the
people who worked hard to get here, the people who
(12:46):
are didn't work hard to get here are using uh,
the fame of people who worked hard.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
To get there.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
It's piggyback. It is piggyback. And then and then and
and Like I said, everybody wants to be famous. So
a person that is not famous that they damned there
like somebody who's trying to be famous more than the
famous person, because that's speaking to them, you know, that's
(13:16):
speaking to the average person. Is that's why all these
average people are trying to be famous. You know, they
don't have no labels. They don't have an athlete label,
they don't have a rapper label, they don't have a
street label, professional label, no nothing. Motherfucker's just here. Who
the fuck is that get And then you do the
(13:37):
background on them. You're like, this dude is made of nothing,
came out of nowhere. Motherfucker came out of nowhere. You
do a background check on the motherfucker's work, that McDonald's
and all kinds of shit, which ain't nothing wrong with it,
but where's the fucking work at that you put in?
Speaker 6 (13:54):
And quality over quantity. Quality I've always I've always been
a quality the person. Yeah, you don't see a bunch, bunch, bunch.
I never you know, I believe in saying less. I
think less. It's more these days streaming is to me
an abundance.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
It's just it's.
Speaker 6 (14:12):
Almost like overkilled to me, Like I can watch it,
I can sit there. Some of it's funny, you grab
the funny parts out of it. But to sit there, yeah,
like graveyard like three days stream like broh, no life,
mother fucker, Like you just sitting there watching life?
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (14:28):
Yeah, like like the camera is on at that point.
You feel me, and you got to think about it.
Is a lot is more of those people than it
is of us. Is more of those people that all
sit there and watch that ship than it is of
people design. I ain't sitting there watching that ship. So
we kind of outran. We're kind of out done in
that in that aspect.
Speaker 6 (14:48):
So I asked that to say, oh we go into that,
to say where we're going if you gave us linear
and we watched from programming and all that to throwing
it all the way to this extreme to where you're
sitting here watching like where's the where's a media in that?
Speaker 1 (15:01):
So that means the quality really got to be quality.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
For me to you know, I don't think they give
a fuck about quality. I think they don't. I don't
think they care about quality. I mean these dudes is
motherfuckers are shooting movies on their iPhone. So when you
see that, you like, damn and people people prefer to
go and watch TV then to watch.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
You know, are well put together budgeted film. Wow, Hopefully.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
We'll come back. It'll it'll get to the point where
it's the cycle comes back around. Yeah, yeah, it'll come
back to starting to wanting to see the boys in
the Hood movies in there. But again the stories ain't there.
Speaker 6 (15:45):
So well, you do notice about water down ship, there's
water down, get water down, then come back to the
basic comes back around, you know at some point when
you want something that you can feel wanted to come back.
Huh yes, And I think that those are going to
have a bigger value on something. They are things to
have stories, personal feelings.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
That's right, because now there ain't nothing to talk about
with nothing but b bl s and fit.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Now, I'm serious, look at the list of ship that
we got the it ain't it ain't a lot to
talk about, right, you know what I mean, it's it's
I don't like some of the narratives.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
But these new grandma's gonna be fucked up and granddaddy's.
Your granddaddy gonna have tight ass jeans on with tattoos.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
All on his neck.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
And you ain't gonna listen to that.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Nigga.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
Man, we used to really listen to our grandfather. I'm
not listening to these motherfuckers grand grandfather.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Hell no, nigga walk around man on a pill and
talk and tell me old whan.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Yeah, oh, the old booty showing and everything. Nigga, granddaddy
great braids, niggas some tight ass geez over and he's
still saying the ship that they saying. Now you know
what I'm saying. Y'all don't know nothing about being lit.
But this is thirty years man, I.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Know what time it is. It's price packs time. Friday.
We got the Nuggets where.
Speaker 8 (17:17):
In Houston face the Rockets.
Speaker 6 (17:19):
Ooh, just the first time, just the first shin dig
to Hunt. This they first meeting out of the year.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Hunt. That's gonna be a get on.
Speaker 8 (17:26):
So let's look at assists. He's number one in the league.
Speaker 7 (17:30):
Obviously, he's going against the Rockets, who have been hot
this year more or less on Yo Kic assists Friday.
Speaker 8 (17:35):
Night more or less his average eleven eleven point one.
Speaker 6 (17:44):
So if if the Nuggets are going to beat Houston,
they're gonna have to share the ball, and he has
a big on him, they're gonna have Steven Adams on him,
cutting man, give me more, give me more, because yeah, yeah, yeah,
(18:06):
give me more, give me more.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (18:08):
Whup is telling me say less just because I know
in this game, this is gonna be where everybody can
actually match up with their guy, you know, and yeah,
Gweneye and Steven Adams, I don't I don't know if
they're gonna be abe say yeah, give me more. I
think Joke's gonna have to have a big game two
for them to beat them.
Speaker 7 (18:25):
All right, Let's go to the other side of the
ball and look at Kevin Durant points. He's averaging twenty
five a game this season. Do we have him more
or less on points Friday night against the Nuggets.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
He's averaging twenty five.
Speaker 8 (18:40):
Twenty five point five, Yes, sir, let's say less.
Speaker 6 (18:48):
Denver has the personnel to contain. And I think that
if Denver is going to beat the Rockets in Houston,
They're going to have to contain KD. And they got
players like Gordon. They got some length over there. Over
in Denver, they got Cam Johnson. Not saying they can
(19:08):
stop him or any of that, but they can definitely
slow him down as a unit. Yeah, let me, I'm
gonna say less. I'm gonna say less. And then if
Houston's gonna beat them, Kd's gonna have to have a
big game.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
I really believe that.
Speaker 7 (19:19):
Okay, let's go to another game on Friday. The Wolves
going into Phoenix to play the Sun.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
The Wolves going into the Phoenix.
Speaker 6 (19:28):
Man, Listen, the Suns are better than what most people
giving them credit for. Man, I think they top five
to six in the West, right, they playing well?
Speaker 4 (19:36):
Man?
Speaker 6 (19:36):
They they they are young, scrappy team. You know, Dev's
got some young guns with him, Bro, they got some
I like, I like gun over there. They got some
good pieces over there. I see what they're doing.
Speaker 8 (19:47):
They're on the year and then put them in seventh place.
Speaker 6 (19:50):
In the decent man. I know, I know a couple
of weeks they was like at five. So yeah, they
want them new teams that you don't even want to
see on them back to back.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
You don't want to.
Speaker 6 (19:58):
You know what I'm saying. They play hard. They played
for forty eight minutes. Shout out to the Suns, man,
because they really changed that from last year. That shit
was a whole nother storm last year. Now this year,
it's really good basketball. They got like, they got a
nice little rotation of guys coming in.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
I like Phoenix.
Speaker 7 (20:14):
Speaking of the Suns, let's look at Devin Booker points.
He's at basically twenty eight a game this year. Do
you have a more or less Friday against the Timberwolves?
Booker points.
Speaker 6 (20:25):
Booker points, and they're tough at home, and yeah, you
got it man in town, any time you got it
and the Tea Wolves in town, Randall in town, it's
gonna be oh man, Yeah, I'm gonna having more. I'ma
have hav him more because the one thing I don't like,
they put Devon at the I don't like Devon at
the point. I like that he has the ability to
(20:48):
go at any time where he's at the point. But
when he's at the point, he's decision making, he's thinking.
He's at that too, man, he just gunned. He coming
off that mall. He see his shot. He go to
his shot, like, I like that. I like that Devin Booker.
I understand they probably need him to come down and
consolidate and help with you know, consolidation every there and
then I know Grayson Allen was out for a little bit.
(21:08):
I don't nor if he's back, but yeah, I know
they share both of the responsibilities of consolidating the ball.
So yeah, it'd be interesting to see how you do.
But yeah, I know if they're gonna have any chance
against Minnesota, yeah, Devin Bok's gonna have to shoot the ball.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
So I'm gonna say more.
Speaker 8 (21:22):
What if you liked about Devin Booker so far in
this early year.
Speaker 7 (21:25):
He's obviously had Kevin Durant in the past, Chris Paul
in the past, Bradley Beal in the past. Now it
seems like it's solidified as kind of his team. Now,
what do you like about him this season?
Speaker 6 (21:36):
Yeah, I think it's been in his team for a minute.
But I could say, I can't say this, he's a
bit mature this year. I haven't heard I haven't heard
any of the rumblings or any of the anything. I've
just been hearing positive things come out of there. I
know they trying to turn the thing around. You know,
they got some really good pieces over there with Jalen Green,
Dylan Brooks. I like that team. They're a scrappy team.
(21:58):
They play with energy on both sides of the ball.
I love the kid Done. They got a big he
got a crazy name. I can't even pronounce his name,
but uh, you know the big fellow they got over
there in the Suns man. Yeah, I like him. They played,
they play hard. That's what I like about him. They
played hard for forty eight minutes, whether they up or down.
(22:19):
But yeah, yeah, I like Devin. He's become more of
a leader. You know, when I watch him play. In
the years past, I used to watch him go to
the bench and kind of pout, be at the end,
or just being very neutral when give much energy. Now
see him in huddles, I see him, you know, giving direction.
So yeah, it's about time.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
You know. You know, players don't, you know, stay in
the same state the whole time.
Speaker 6 (22:40):
So at some point you you got to anticipate him,
you know, stepping up and being kind of the face
not just for the franchise, but you know, the voice
in the locker room and the leader of the team.
Speaker 7 (22:52):
Well, look, at the other side of the court with
Anthony Edwards. K A, Yes, sir, his second shoe just
came out.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Yes, sir, shout that Anthony Ede was in the second shoe.
Adida right, the ant Man two. What's his average?
Speaker 8 (23:08):
His average is twenty five on the year.
Speaker 6 (23:09):
Oh yeah, listen, yeah, because he I think he likes
playing in Yeah, it's sunshine too, you know, you get
around some sun and man, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
I mean.
Speaker 6 (23:21):
Yeah, him and Devin Book. I'm anticipating this being like
a shootout. You forget Jalen Green over there too. You
know what I'm saying. It's gonna be a lot though,
because they got a lot of bodies they can throw
at at ant Man. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Dealing over there race Yeah, yeah, I say more. I
say more.
Speaker 6 (23:40):
It's gonna be like a little This should be a
good old Western shootout, you know what I'm saying. First
to play defense wins the game.
Speaker 8 (23:46):
And if we remember, we rewind the clock.
Speaker 7 (23:48):
In twenty twenty four, Anthony Edwards went up against one
of his favorite players, Kevin Durant the Sons in the
playoffs and took him out.
Speaker 6 (23:55):
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. He likes playing the Suns.
I he's playing in that building, so yeah, should be
some good energy. And then these two totally new teams.
Not to totally, but the Phoenix Suns got a whole
new look on their team, their young vibrant. Be good
to see two young teams go at it with young energy,
you know what I'm saying. This would be a hot
This would be a hot paced game too, a lot
(24:16):
of Yeah, there's gonna be a lot of cheapiness in
this one. Watching Anthony Edwards each year, I can say
of his time in the league, this is his sixth year, right,
He's gotten better each year in particularly the one year,
whether it was before the Olympics or yeah, I think
(24:36):
it was right before the Olympics where he was just
really really adamant in the summer. I kept seeing a
bunch of footage of him working out shooting. I don't
know what he was doing, on on what his kent
was doing, on on why they did it like that,
but that was dope because the next year he turned
into what we know now. I told you I don't
like him shooting so many threes because it takes away
(24:58):
from him going downhill.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
See how I will say this.
Speaker 6 (25:04):
With Shaye emerging as the midi king right shape, you know,
Sga is by far the mini king. So now I'm
watching players watch how he has mixed the midi with
the three ball and it's getting them layups. I'm watching
how other players are now tapping into that. Anthony Edwards
(25:26):
can get another six to ten points by just posting
up or just taking the midi the mini jumper out
of the out of the pick and roll. And it's
nice to see him actually continue to put parts to
his game, which I think every young player should be doing.
This is this is the this is how, this is
the this is the roadmap right here, man, because he's
obviously going into summer working on things and then coming
(25:49):
back to the season putting them into the season.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
This this, this is the this is it right here.
Speaker 6 (25:53):
This is if you're a coach, this is what I
would setting my superstar down and show them how to
This is how you developed yourself right here, how they're
developing each year. They got something new and that's hard
es central at the same time. Yeah, and that's shit, baby,
And those are the ticks prospects for the week. Yes, sir,
what do you watch on TV, Like, what's some of
(26:15):
the stuff that you like watching when you sit down settling,
this is your evening.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
I like watching documentaries really because this is real, because
it's real information, it's real information. It didn't take a
lot for me to watch a good film or a
good television show because, like you said, the way, it's
just very watered down now. And the generation that is
in charge of these productions they don't have the history either.
(26:41):
So you got to think about people who are running
these production production companies. They young as hell. Man, you
have to inform them on some of this shit. Back
in the day, you can go in a meeting and
talk to some execs and y'all be looking out of eye. Yeah, yeah,
y'all talking about good times together and all is Now
you gotta these young execs now, they're like, I'm gonna
(27:03):
go watch that because they ain't ever seen it.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
So, you know, so you think that the paletteut here
is gonna be a little different than what we used
to it is.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
And everybody's gonna have to start figuring out different ways
to get money versus now, see now our careers, your
basketball career, my comedy career, our careers have become commercials
to this other bullshit. We gotta make money too, now,
you know you think so, yeah, it's it's a commercial.
(27:33):
It's our because we're not making money off of what
we Yeah, you're not making money off playing basketball, no
more so your your history has become a brand commercial like, look,
it's KG. But then but I'm doing this over here
and I'm making money over here, you know, So we're
just using that ship to I say that to say.
Speaker 6 (27:53):
Because I'm watching so much, you know, linear come off TV.
I watch a lot of documentaries. I just watched Alan
Evason's new joint Shout the A. I thought it showed
another sight of them.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
It was good too.
Speaker 6 (28:07):
It showed more of a personal side his family sha,
which was kind of the difference when you watched the
first one.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Would you ever do a doc of yourself? Yeah, I've been.
I've been trying to do one.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
It's really hard, man, because i feel like I'm still
living my story. So you know, when you go to
shooting your life story, it is crazy.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
You know.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
I got a pretty cool life story, I know. And
you gotta first you got listen. You can be in
the president, but you got a first half that got
you here, So you're right, you know I got it. Yeah,
you're right, I got a first half. It was hell
getting here, man, it's hell getting anywhere you're trying to
get you. You know what I'm talking man, jump through them.
You know it was hell for you getting here. Yeah,
(28:50):
the NBA got here.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
It didn't look like it though. I seen your high
school tap year. See where I was living at what
I was going through, and I've seen that.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Yeah, I seen that story.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
I needed that though.
Speaker 6 (29:02):
I needed that though to get to where I was going.
When I got there, I was like, man, I'm glad
I went through that. Yeah, because I wasn't. Yeah, I wasn't.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
I wasn't fell an edge on the other players going
through what you was going through. I felt, I felt it,
and it was it was.
Speaker 6 (29:16):
It was a fifty to fifty I can feel when
guys was looking at me kind of like the fuck
he doing it here this high school?
Speaker 1 (29:21):
And yeah, I remember.
Speaker 6 (29:23):
You know, it's crazy when you say that to some
of what you're saying about some of the New Wave,
and you know, guys just had to get it a
certain way. Guys that went four years of college that
you know, started from freshman then had to go three
for you and then you know it didn't really get
paid then. And there I felt those players, the Lou Rose,
the Scottie Thurman's, the guys that went through university for
(29:45):
four five years and you know, here I am a
high school then man.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
Hell like Survivors of Mores a little bit on a
little bit. But if I'm being honest, you it it's
two ways to go that either ate you or you.
I made you fuck niggas. Yeah, like you had to
have a because you was like a young nigga coming
in prison, like a young nigga in the pin.
Speaker 6 (30:07):

Marlowe when I hear young marlow and how he was
in Hawaiire.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Yeah, I got school. You got the old again, stand
on it.

in certain places unless you argale Marl Center, anywhere on
the West Side, Ken and King. You can't get in
none of these places unless you feel me.

Yeah. Yeah, So yeah, I had to come in in
and put a stamp down.
Speaker 6 (30:33):
And you know, not saying you won every battle, but
you know what I'm saying, you came in there with
the president where somebody can respect.

Speaker 1 (36:03):
So crazy stories?
Speaker 6 (36:05):
Yeah, how much of material that you do mirrors your
personal life or some things that have happened in your life.
Speaker 3 (36:12):
All of it, all of it, every last bit of it.
Speaker 1 (36:15):
Oh wow. Yeah, so a lot of.
Speaker 6 (36:16):
Your jokes is coming from real, real experiences, real life experience.
Speaker 3 (36:21):
And I tell and I say stuff that like people
love bragging on theyselfs. I could do that all day,
but I tell people all the mishaps that happen to me,
all the misfortunes. I could tell you a million times
how I won and when I won, But I tell
you shit that, you know, the average people don't tell
(36:42):
like if you said a bunch of gang members down,
they ain't gonna tell me time they get their ass whooped,
but they'll tell you how many times they rolled on
a motherfucker. But so that's what I do because I
know if I do that, I automatically win the crowd.
You see what I'm saying, because I'm talking to somebody
that dealt with that, you know, and it becomes intimate, right, yeah,
it becomes unintimate and real.
Speaker 1 (37:03):
Has it ever been a role that you turned down
that you double back and.
Speaker 3 (37:07):
Was like, damn, I should have did that that I
shouldn't have did.
Speaker 6 (37:09):
No, have you ever done a role that you turned
down like, nah, it ain't fit me, And then a
couple maybe years later, you shit, man, I should have
did that.
Speaker 3 (37:19):
Oh it was a movie called Fool's Gold with what
was the white Matthew McConaughey. Yeah, I think, and I
turned that role down and Kevin Hart did it, and
look at the little motherfucker niggas rich and a bitch.
(37:42):
And I'll be just sitting back there to myself, Goddamn,
I said, you know I should have did that, motherfucker.
Speaker 6 (37:49):
Is there any role that do you have like a
like I've never said I wish I played on a
certain team and no shit like that. Uh, but if
if it is some guys that if I had the
opportunity to play with, I would have.
Speaker 1 (38:04):
Is there any one that you would like to do
a movie with that you ain't done a movie with yet?
Speaker 3 (38:11):
NA say, I don't think like that. I want to
work with every motherfucker want to work with me. I
want to work with all the greats.
Speaker 1 (38:18):
Right.
Speaker 3 (38:18):
It ain't not not not nobody specific.

derivative of baby kids.

Yeah you know what I'm saying. Yeah, nobody would even
know what the hell are you talking about? You feel me?
If you are going to talk about Babay kids and
what they didn't know.
Speaker 3 (40:06):
That's what I'm saying. That generation don't know the Boondocks
to even they don't even know the Babay kids. To
compare that today, they wouldn't even know those two nigga.
They would never know them even we do. That's why
I'm saying nothing new up under the sun. If you
show us some ship, we're gonna be able to compare
it to what we used to do.

wasn't that. It was uncut gems. When the Southie brothers
sat me down and talked to me, the first thing
they said to me for for about twelve years, we've
(41:36):
been trying to make this movie, and it was uncut gyms.
And I was looking at them and I was like,
I'm been trying to make a movie for twelve years.
And I was thinking to myself. Now, I'm me, I
don't you know, I don't know how to think, so
I'm just thinking.
Speaker 1 (41:51):
I'm thinking. I'm like, why didn't y'all just go and
do another movie?

So Saftie brothers right, and he couldn't get off it.

Fine, so they got it done.
Speaker 1 (42:15):
Man, til they got it done, and then when they got.
Speaker 3 (42:18):
It done, it flew so all the other ship.
Speaker 6 (42:22):
I don't believe in time. I believe when things are right. Sometimes,
Mike what I'm learning. And sometimes the ideal is in
front of the money. You know, sometimes the money in
front of.
Speaker 1 (42:35):
The ideal, and you got to go get an ideal
and then man, this idea might be in.
Speaker 6 (42:40):
Front of the money on the value or somebody has
a it doesn't like when when I when I hear this,
I'm like, man, the timing for this should be now right,
But I never heard this about two three years right,
we've been Church has bought this, So y'all been talking
about this for a decade.
Speaker 3 (42:59):
You hear what I'm saying to you, and it be
it be all in God's time because and I always
go refer back to the Bible. I'm like, yes, be yes,
me yes, and no me no, you know what I mean.
And when I hear a no, I let that motherfucker
be a no, because I don't know what the hell
(43:19):
the no is for the note could be. You know, hey,
when they wanted me to do it, I'm glad I
didn't do it because I was gonna go all out
and now I'm then got older.
Speaker 1 (43:30):
I realized you ain't got to go all out. All
you gotta do is do good.
Speaker 3 (43:33):
Work quality because your personal life ain't got nothing to
do with what you're gonna do in front of the film.
Speaker 4 (43:39):

Speaker 1 (03:02):
Bro. I like your Pacers, man, like I like y'all. Man.
Speaker 6 (03:06):
Shout to Halleburn. You know what I'm saying, We Halle Holley.
Uh talk about them Pacers? Man, do they actually define
the city as a hardworking team? Play every they play
really hard?
Speaker 1 (03:18):
They do?
Speaker 2 (03:18):
They do?
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Man?
Speaker 3 (03:19):
You know you know the Pacers. We we we we
always been a a third leg team or not not
considered a big league team, big market, big market. Yeah,
but but we but we are part of definitely part
of basketball history.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
You know.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
We had, we had great teams, great legacies throughout all
of our years. We never got the big ring. Last
year was probably the closest in a long time. But man,
I gotta say, Man, they're a good team to the
root for.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Man.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Yeah, they on the up and up to man, especially
how the league being built. It's been built, huh for
the league being built? Like, Okay, let's take Okay, see
because they won it right right. That team we're watching
was built like five years ago. They put Lou Dork
on that they win got shaved. They put those five years,
they had to put all those pieces together. And then
last year we saw that.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
And then and everybody and everybody just thought they came
out of nowhere. Everybody thought they came out of nowhere.
Speaker 6 (04:19):
But if you've been watching basketball for the last like
four or five years, you saw that team.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Oh yeah, right, not today, but they're gonna be something.
Speaker 5 (04:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
You couldn't really pay attention to him. You really couldn't
see him during the season. They kind of just popped up.
But like you said, they was already hitting at him.
I like that, though y'all got something. I like nim
hard man, he go hard. Don't like you'all team bro.
Speaker 6 (04:40):
I didn't like that y'all got rid of Miles though.
Man ain't like our Miles went the Milwaukee. I thought
he fit perfectly with that group. Man, they seem and
you know, I'm a big Siakam fan. Like I love
how y'allays Billy. He had been there a long time.
Speaker 7 (04:53):
Yeah, he was.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
He was your oldest vet right.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
The oldest bet. Yeah, and you know how they do
in them games. Man, if you don't show up in
the playoffs certain games, ass is out of there.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
I don't care how good you being them. Then certain
games they like, oh hell no, his ass gotta go.
I mean, I don't I don't hear him saying that,
but that's what they say, that sports man, that sports sports.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
So you think that.
Speaker 6 (05:18):
Yeah, I see them in Milwaukee, and actually when I
watch him, I actually like them better than Indiana.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
That's all I was saying. You know what I'm saying, Yeah,
because that was his team. Like I said, he was
a veteran.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
He's been he's been there for eleven twelve years, and
he was teaching and leading a lot of them guys.
But I think Indiana after last year, they trying to
they want that team to look like that. They don't
want they don't. I don't think they want the veteran look.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
They want a younger team.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Man. They want to because that's what beat them last year,
you know what I mean. And that's kind of where
Miles kind of they they they put the youth on it.
Them two dudes was killing him in there.
Speaker 6 (05:58):
You know, it's crazy, know, what since you said that,
I see it totally see I see why they did that.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Well, that's the pattern of the league. You know what
I'm saying, That's the pattern of the league. What about
them coachs though them coats is not playing, ain't y'all
just got sauce.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
I knew they was gonna get beat by up the
stealers though you did. Yeah, because it because this ship
is all matchups. This whole league is matchups.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Man.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
It blows my mind how they beat some teams and
then something they get to some teams like I think
Pittsburgh got their number. I don't know what it is
about Pittsburgh, but they got their number, always have had it. Well,
we beat them last year. But that's one of them
teams like the Jaguars. That's another team.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
I don't care how many teams men games they lose
a win. They beat us. Wow. So you think, oh,
you think's and you think it's matchups. It's got to be. Yes,
it's gotta be matchups, you know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (06:50):
And and and the cheating ass rest but.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
You know the cheating like what you man, tell us
what you're work it on?
Speaker 2 (06:59):

our present, more than ever. You know, back in the day,
(10:41):
you you could see the decades like the eighties, the
nineties top the eighties, the nineties, the two thousand top
the nineties.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Now this shit ain't tapping. It's like going back. I
want to go back to the ages. You gotta go
back to the eighties to get them to get.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
Some good ship.
Speaker 6 (11:00):
Well, when I watched the wire, it speaks to the
time in which the wire came out.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
So guys on the corner, I see nobody's on the
corner on no motherfucking corner, no more. Many young kids
ain't even outside. And if they outside, got damn. You
don't want to be outside of the You.
Speaker 3 (11:15):

Man, you fuckad hot ear motherfucker. You can't even open
the door for somebody no more.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
Man, These young dudes got it twisted. Man.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
They're definitely different. Man, it is.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
It's different.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Could you tell us what's going on in Hollywood? Man?
Speaker 3 (11:39):
What are we watching in Hollywood? Well, you know what,
the social media has a lot to do with why
Hollywood changed. And then they came up with the streaming thing,
and it just it just kind of it kind of
watered it down, man, you know. And one of the
(12:02):
biggest problems everybody's fucking famous that I.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Can have a podcast, anybody can stream.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Yeah, so it kind of just like it kind of
knocked the famous people out, you know. So it ain't
you know now now now you know, the worth ain't
in people who put the work in.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
The worth is in people.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
That's why the streamers and and and and no no
offense to nobody, because people get their money. How they
getting it? Yeah, yeah, the waves changed. But it's funny,
how uh, the people who worked hard to get here don't.
Their value is no good no more. It's like the
people who worked hard to get here, the people who
(12:46):
are didn't work hard to get here are using uh,
the fame of people who worked hard.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
To get there.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
It's piggyback. It is piggyback. And then and then and
and Like I said, everybody wants to be famous. So
a person that is not famous that they damned there
like somebody who's trying to be famous more than the
famous person, because that's speaking to them, you know, that's
(13:16):
speaking to the average person. Is that's why all these
average people are trying to be famous. You know, they
don't have no labels. They don't have an athlete label,
they don't have a rapper label, they don't have a
street label, professional label, no nothing. Motherfucker's just here. Who
the fuck is that get And then you do the
(13:37):
background on them. You're like, this dude is made of nothing,
came out of nowhere. Motherfucker came out of nowhere. You
do a background check on the motherfucker's work, that McDonald's
and all kinds of shit, which ain't nothing wrong with it,
but where's the fucking work at that you put in?
Speaker 6 (13:54):
And quality over quantity. Quality I've always I've always been
a quality the person. Yeah, you don't see a bunch, bunch, bunch.
I never you know, I believe in saying less. I
think less. It's more these days streaming is to me
an abundance.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
It's just it's.
Speaker 6 (14:12):
Almost like overkilled to me, Like I can watch it,
I can sit there. Some of it's funny, you grab
the funny parts out of it. But to sit there, yeah,
like graveyard like three days stream like broh, no life,
mother fucker, Like you just sitting there watching life?
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (14:28):
Yeah, like like the camera is on at that point.
You feel me, and you got to think about it.
Is a lot is more of those people than it
is of us. Is more of those people that all
sit there and watch that ship than it is of
people design. I ain't sitting there watching that ship. So
we kind of outran. We're kind of out done in
that in that aspect.
Speaker 6 (14:48):
So I asked that to say, oh we go into that,
to say where we're going if you gave us linear
and we watched from programming and all that to throwing
it all the way to this extreme to where you're
sitting here watching like where's the where's a media in that?
Speaker 1 (15:01):
So that means the quality really got to be quality.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
For me to you know, I don't think they give
a fuck about quality. I think they don't. I don't
think they care about quality. I mean these dudes is
motherfuckers are shooting movies on their iPhone. So when you
see that, you like, damn and people people prefer to
go and watch TV then to watch.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
You know, are well put together budgeted film. Wow, Hopefully.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
We'll come back. It'll it'll get to the point where
it's the cycle comes back around. Yeah, yeah, it'll come
back to starting to wanting to see the boys in
the Hood movies in there. But again the stories ain't there.
Speaker 6 (15:45):
So well, you do notice about water down ship, there's
water down, get water down, then come back to the
basic comes back around, you know at some point when
you want something that you can feel wanted to come back.
Huh yes, And I think that those are going to
have a bigger value on something. They are things to
have stories, personal feelings.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
That's right, because now there ain't nothing to talk about
with nothing but b bl s and fit.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Now, I'm serious, look at the list of ship that
we got the it ain't it ain't a lot to
talk about, right, you know what I mean, it's it's
I don't like some of the narratives.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
But these new grandma's gonna be fucked up and granddaddy's.
Your granddaddy gonna have tight ass jeans on with tattoos.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
All on his neck.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
And you ain't gonna listen to that.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Nigga.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
Man, we used to really listen to our grandfather. I'm
not listening to these motherfuckers grand grandfather.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Hell no, nigga walk around man on a pill and
talk and tell me old whan.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Yeah, oh, the old booty showing and everything. Nigga, granddaddy
great braids, niggas some tight ass geez over and he's
still saying the ship that they saying. Now you know
what I'm saying. Y'all don't know nothing about being lit.
But this is thirty years man, I.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Know what time it is. It's price packs time. Friday.
We got the Nuggets where.
Speaker 8 (17:17):
In Houston face the Rockets.
Speaker 6 (17:19):
Ooh, just the first time, just the first shin dig
to Hunt. This they first meeting out of the year.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Hunt. That's gonna be a get on.
Speaker 8 (17:26):
So let's look at assists. He's number one in the league.
Speaker 7 (17:30):
Obviously, he's going against the Rockets, who have been hot
this year more or less on Yo Kic assists Friday.
Speaker 8 (17:35):
Night more or less his average eleven eleven point one.
Speaker 6 (17:44):
So if if the Nuggets are going to beat Houston,
they're gonna have to share the ball, and he has
a big on him, they're gonna have Steven Adams on him,
cutting man, give me more, give me more, because yeah, yeah, yeah,
(18:06):
give me more, give me more.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (18:08):
Whup is telling me say less just because I know
in this game, this is gonna be where everybody can
actually match up with their guy, you know, and yeah,
Gweneye and Steven Adams, I don't I don't know if
they're gonna be abe say yeah, give me more. I
think Joke's gonna have to have a big game two
for them to beat them.
Speaker 7 (18:25):
All right, Let's go to the other side of the
ball and look at Kevin Durant points. He's averaging twenty
five a game this season. Do we have him more
or less on points Friday night against the Nuggets.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
He's averaging twenty five.
Speaker 8 (18:40):
Twenty five point five, Yes, sir, let's say less.
Speaker 6 (18:48):
Denver has the personnel to contain. And I think that
if Denver is going to beat the Rockets in Houston,
They're going to have to contain KD. And they got
players like Gordon. They got some length over there. Over
in Denver, they got Cam Johnson. Not saying they can
(19:08):
stop him or any of that, but they can definitely
slow him down as a unit. Yeah, let me, I'm
gonna say less. I'm gonna say less. And then if
Houston's gonna beat them, Kd's gonna have to have a
big game.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
I really believe that.
Speaker 7 (19:19):
Okay, let's go to another game on Friday. The Wolves
going into Phoenix to play the Sun.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
The Wolves going into the Phoenix.
Speaker 6 (19:28):
Man, Listen, the Suns are better than what most people
giving them credit for. Man, I think they top five
to six in the West, right, they playing well?
Speaker 4 (19:36):
Man?
Speaker 6 (19:36):
They they they are young, scrappy team. You know, Dev's
got some young guns with him, Bro, they got some
I like, I like gun over there. They got some
good pieces over there. I see what they're doing.
Speaker 8 (19:47):
They're on the year and then put them in seventh place.
Speaker 6 (19:50):
In the decent man. I know, I know a couple
of weeks they was like at five. So yeah, they
want them new teams that you don't even want to
see on them back to back.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
You don't want to.
Speaker 6 (19:58):
You know what I'm saying. They play hard. They played
for forty eight minutes. Shout out to the Suns, man,
because they really changed that from last year. That shit
was a whole nother storm last year. Now this year,
it's really good basketball. They got like, they got a
nice little rotation of guys coming in.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
I like Phoenix.
Speaker 7 (20:14):
Speaking of the Suns, let's look at Devin Booker points.
He's at basically twenty eight a game this year. Do
you have a more or less Friday against the Timberwolves?
Booker points.
Speaker 6 (20:25):
Booker points, and they're tough at home, and yeah, you
got it man in town, any time you got it
and the Tea Wolves in town, Randall in town, it's
gonna be oh man, Yeah, I'm gonna having more. I'ma
have hav him more because the one thing I don't like,
they put Devon at the I don't like Devon at
the point. I like that he has the ability to
(20:48):
go at any time where he's at the point. But
when he's at the point, he's decision making, he's thinking.
He's at that too, man, he just gunned. He coming
off that mall. He see his shot. He go to
his shot, like, I like that. I like that Devin Booker.
I understand they probably need him to come down and
consolidate and help with you know, consolidation every there and
then I know Grayson Allen was out for a little bit.
(21:08):
I don't nor if he's back, but yeah, I know
they share both of the responsibilities of consolidating the ball.
So yeah, it'd be interesting to see how you do.
But yeah, I know if they're gonna have any chance
against Minnesota, yeah, Devin Bok's gonna have to shoot the ball.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
So I'm gonna say more.
Speaker 8 (21:22):
What if you liked about Devin Booker so far in
this early year.
Speaker 7 (21:25):
He's obviously had Kevin Durant in the past, Chris Paul
in the past, Bradley Beal in the past. Now it
seems like it's solidified as kind of his team. Now,
what do you like about him this season?
Speaker 6 (21:36):
Yeah, I think it's been in his team for a minute.
But I could say, I can't say this, he's a
bit mature this year. I haven't heard I haven't heard
any of the rumblings or any of the anything. I've
just been hearing positive things come out of there. I
know they trying to turn the thing around. You know,
they got some really good pieces over there with Jalen Green,
Dylan Brooks. I like that team. They're a scrappy team.
(21:58):
They play with energy on both sides of the ball.
I love the kid Done. They got a big he
got a crazy name. I can't even pronounce his name,
but uh, you know the big fellow they got over
there in the Suns man. Yeah, I like him. They played,
they play hard. That's what I like about him. They
played hard for forty eight minutes, whether they up or down.
(22:19):
But yeah, yeah, I like Devin. He's become more of
a leader. You know, when I watch him play. In
the years past, I used to watch him go to
the bench and kind of pout, be at the end,
or just being very neutral when give much energy. Now
see him in huddles, I see him, you know, giving direction.
So yeah, it's about time.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
You know. You know, players don't, you know, stay in
the same state the whole time.
Speaker 6 (22:40):
So at some point you you got to anticipate him,
you know, stepping up and being kind of the face
not just for the franchise, but you know, the voice
in the locker room and the leader of the team.
Speaker 7 (22:52):
Well, look, at the other side of the court with
Anthony Edwards. K A, Yes, sir, his second shoe just
came out.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Yes, sir, shout that Anthony Ede was in the second shoe.
Adida right, the ant Man two. What's his average?
Speaker 8 (23:08):
His average is twenty five on the year.
Speaker 6 (23:09):
Oh yeah, listen, yeah, because he I think he likes
playing in Yeah, it's sunshine too, you know, you get
around some sun and man, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
I mean.
Speaker 6 (23:21):
Yeah, him and Devin Book. I'm anticipating this being like
a shootout. You forget Jalen Green over there too. You
know what I'm saying. It's gonna be a lot though,
because they got a lot of bodies they can throw
at at ant Man. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Dealing over there race Yeah, yeah, I say more. I
say more.
Speaker 6 (23:40):
It's gonna be like a little This should be a
good old Western shootout, you know what I'm saying. First
to play defense wins the game.
Speaker 8 (23:46):
And if we remember, we rewind the clock.
Speaker 7 (23:48):
In twenty twenty four, Anthony Edwards went up against one
of his favorite players, Kevin Durant the Sons in the
playoffs and took him out.
Speaker 6 (23:55):
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. He likes playing the Suns.
I he's playing in that building, so yeah, should be
some good energy. And then these two totally new teams.
Not to totally, but the Phoenix Suns got a whole
new look on their team, their young vibrant. Be good
to see two young teams go at it with young energy,
you know what I'm saying. This would be a hot
This would be a hot paced game too, a lot
(24:16):
of Yeah, there's gonna be a lot of cheapiness in
this one. Watching Anthony Edwards each year, I can say
of his time in the league, this is his sixth year, right,
He's gotten better each year in particularly the one year,
whether it was before the Olympics or yeah, I think
(24:36):
it was right before the Olympics where he was just
really really adamant in the summer. I kept seeing a
bunch of footage of him working out shooting. I don't
know what he was doing, on on what his kent
was doing, on on why they did it like that,
but that was dope because the next year he turned
into what we know now. I told you I don't
like him shooting so many threes because it takes away
(24:58):
from him going downhill.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
See how I will say this.
Speaker 6 (25:04):
With Shaye emerging as the midi king right shape, you know,
Sga is by far the mini king. So now I'm
watching players watch how he has mixed the midi with
the three ball and it's getting them layups. I'm watching
how other players are now tapping into that. Anthony Edwards
(25:26):
can get another six to ten points by just posting
up or just taking the midi the mini jumper out
of the out of the pick and roll. And it's
nice to see him actually continue to put parts to
his game, which I think every young player should be doing.
This is this is the this is how, this is
the this is the roadmap right here, man, because he's
obviously going into summer working on things and then coming
(25:49):
back to the season putting them into the season.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
This this, this is the this is it right here.
Speaker 6 (25:53):
This is if you're a coach, this is what I
would setting my superstar down and show them how to
This is how you developed yourself right here, how they're
developing each year. They got something new and that's hard
es central at the same time. Yeah, and that's shit, baby,
And those are the ticks prospects for the week. Yes, sir,
what do you watch on TV, Like, what's some of
(26:15):
the stuff that you like watching when you sit down settling,
this is your evening.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
I like watching documentaries really because this is real, because
it's real information, it's real information. It didn't take a
lot for me to watch a good film or a
good television show because, like you said, the way, it's
just very watered down now. And the generation that is
in charge of these productions they don't have the history either.
(26:41):
So you got to think about people who are running
these production production companies. They young as hell. Man, you
have to inform them on some of this shit. Back
in the day, you can go in a meeting and
talk to some execs and y'all be looking out of eye. Yeah, yeah,
y'all talking about good times together and all is Now
you gotta these young execs now, they're like, I'm gonna
(27:03):
go watch that because they ain't ever seen it.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
So, you know, so you think that the paletteut here
is gonna be a little different than what we used
to it is.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
And everybody's gonna have to start figuring out different ways
to get money versus now, see now our careers, your
basketball career, my comedy career, our careers have become commercials
to this other bullshit. We gotta make money too, now,
you know you think so, yeah, it's it's a commercial.
(27:33):
It's our because we're not making money off of what
we Yeah, you're not making money off playing basketball, no
more so your your history has become a brand commercial like, look,
it's KG. But then but I'm doing this over here
and I'm making money over here, you know, So we're
just using that ship to I say that to say.
Speaker 6 (27:53):
Because I'm watching so much, you know, linear come off TV.
I watch a lot of documentaries. I just watched Alan
Evason's new joint Shout the A. I thought it showed
another sight of them.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
It was good too.
Speaker 6 (28:07):
It showed more of a personal side his family sha,
which was kind of the difference when you watched the
first one.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Would you ever do a doc of yourself? Yeah, I've been.
I've been trying to do one.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
It's really hard, man, because i feel like I'm still
living my story. So you know, when you go to
shooting your life story, it is crazy.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
You know.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
I got a pretty cool life story, I know. And
you gotta first you got listen. You can be in
the president, but you got a first half that got
you here, So you're right, you know I got it. Yeah,
you're right, I got a first half. It was hell
getting here, man, it's hell getting anywhere you're trying to
get you. You know what I'm talking man, jump through them.
You know it was hell for you getting here. Yeah,
(28:50):
the NBA got here.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
It didn't look like it though. I seen your high
school tap year. See where I was living at what
I was going through, and I've seen that.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Yeah, I seen that story.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
I needed that though.
Speaker 6 (29:02):
I needed that though to get to where I was going.
When I got there, I was like, man, I'm glad
I went through that. Yeah, because I wasn't. Yeah, I wasn't.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
I wasn't fell an edge on the other players going
through what you was going through. I felt, I felt it,
and it was it was.
Speaker 6 (29:16):
It was a fifty to fifty I can feel when
guys was looking at me kind of like the fuck
he doing it here this high school?
Speaker 1 (29:21):
And yeah, I remember.
Speaker 6 (29:23):
You know, it's crazy when you say that to some
of what you're saying about some of the New Wave,
and you know, guys just had to get it a
certain way. Guys that went four years of college that
you know, started from freshman then had to go three
for you and then you know it didn't really get
paid then. And there I felt those players, the Lou Rose,
the Scottie Thurman's, the guys that went through university for
(29:45):
four five years and you know, here I am a
high school then man.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
Hell like Survivors of Mores a little bit on a
little bit. But if I'm being honest, you it it's
two ways to go that either ate you or you.
I made you fuck niggas. Yeah, like you had to
have a because you was like a young nigga coming
in prison, like a young nigga in the pin.
Speaker 6 (30:07):
I like, I like, I like the description of young
Marlowe when I hear young marlow and how he was
in Hawaiire.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Yeah, I got school. You got the old again, stand
on it.

in certain places unless you argale Marl Center, anywhere on
the West Side, Ken and King. You can't get in
none of these places unless you feel me.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Yeah. Yeah, So yeah, I had to come in in
and put a stamp down.
Speaker 6 (30:33):
And you know, not saying you won every battle, but
you know what I'm saying, you came in there with
the president where somebody can respect.

They look good too, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (36:03):
So crazy stories?
Speaker 6 (36:05):
Yeah, how much of material that you do mirrors your
personal life or some things that have happened in your life.
Speaker 3 (36:12):
All of it, all of it, every last bit of it.
Speaker 1 (36:15):
Oh wow. Yeah, so a lot of.
Speaker 6 (36:16):
Your jokes is coming from real, real experiences, real life experience.
Speaker 3 (36:21):
And I tell and I say stuff that like people
love bragging on theyselfs. I could do that all day,
but I tell people all the mishaps that happen to me,
all the misfortunes. I could tell you a million times
how I won and when I won, But I tell
you shit that, you know, the average people don't tell
(36:42):
like if you said a bunch of gang members down,
they ain't gonna tell me time they get their ass whooped,
but they'll tell you how many times they rolled on
a motherfucker. But so that's what I do because I
know if I do that, I automatically win the crowd.
You see what I'm saying, because I'm talking to somebody
that dealt with that, you know, and it becomes intimate, right, yeah,
it becomes unintimate and real.
Speaker 1 (37:03):
Has it ever been a role that you turned down
that you double back and.
Speaker 3 (37:07):
Was like, damn, I should have did that that I
shouldn't have did.
Speaker 6 (37:09):
No, have you ever done a role that you turned
down like, nah, it ain't fit me, And then a
couple maybe years later, you shit, man, I should have
did that.
Speaker 3 (37:19):
Oh it was a movie called Fool's Gold with what
was the white Matthew McConaughey. Yeah, I think, and I
turned that role down and Kevin Hart did it, and
look at the little motherfucker niggas rich and a bitch.
(37:42):
And I'll be just sitting back there to myself, Goddamn,
I said, you know I should have did that, motherfucker.
Speaker 6 (37:49):
Is there any role that do you have like a
like I've never said I wish I played on a
certain team and no shit like that. Uh, but if
if it is some guys that if I had the
opportunity to play with, I would have.
Speaker 1 (38:04):
Is there any one that you would like to do
a movie with that you ain't done a movie with yet?
Speaker 3 (38:11):
NA say, I don't think like that. I want to
work with every motherfucker want to work with me. I
want to work with all the greats.
Speaker 1 (38:18):
Right.
Speaker 3 (38:18):
It ain't not not not nobody specific.

derivative of baby kids.

Yeah you know what I'm saying. Yeah, nobody would even
know what the hell are you talking about? You feel me?
If you are going to talk about Babay kids and
what they didn't know.

That's what I'm saying. That generation don't know the Boondocks
to even they don't even know the Babay kids. To
compare that today, they wouldn't even know those two nigga.
They would never know them even we do. That's why
I'm saying nothing new up under the sun. If you

it to what we used to do.

(41:36):
been trying to make this movie, and it was uncut gyms.
And I was looking at them and I was like,
I'm been trying to make a movie for twelve years.
And I was thinking to myself. Now, I'm me, I
don't you know, I don't know how to think, so
