Kayvon is not related to Coach Thibs, but you already knew that. Me and my brother couldn't believe the man we were talking to was only 23 years old. Wise beyond his years fr. Coach Prime said look good feel good pay good play good. I say I wish I could've rolled up to the ACC tournament in a Ferrari. It's different for kids these days. I'm not hating but I am. KT said partnerships not sponsorships and he stood on it!

Big Shot Bob came through and spoke straight from the heart. The basketball stories were incredible, but the perspective he gave about his daughter and how to live a life without fear left the whole studio feeling different. In sports and in life, you have to make the most out of every opportunity and can't take nothing for granted. That's the mindset that makes Robert Horry a living legend. Tap in!

If you see a dude hooping in Venice Beach dressed up like Spiderman, please do not try to defend this man. Or do - so we can all watch you get cooked on YouTube. Hearing all the stories about And1 brought back some deep memories for me and Ahrii. The Professor was a phenom back then, but he's still giving out buckets for free. For the kids at home, where there's a will, there's always a way! Just know that if you throw the ball off of somebody's head, they're gonna take it as disrespect.

I played basketball my whole life, and I've never heard a shooter talk about how quick his pupils dilate. Google Chris Matthews if you want to see how Lethal Shooter used to get down in college. He was a certified bucket fr. In basketball and life, you gotta take your shots and take them with confidence!

Daniel came to the U.S. not knowing anything about American football. Now my dog is an All-American. I swear he's nothing like Spencer James in real life. Hire me and Ahrii to play two British dudes! We got range. He said Americans are more likely to support each other's dreams, but I think he just called us delusional.

Big O aka our dad is a legend. He taught us so much and I still don't know how he raised four boys in that era. He finally admitted to us why he stopped playing us in basketball when we were kids. We had to bring this man on our podcast to learn some major things about our family tree. Thanks for a great season y'all! Happy birthday.

You don't want zero problems Big Fella! His mama still calls him Carlos but Haha might be the funniest man on social media right now. He went from KFC cook to features with Chance and linking with Snoop, so I don't want to hear no excuses!

Kier Gains went to school for 10 plus years to be a licensed therapist and mental health advocate and he knows his ish. People you need to tap into his social media for real advice not just someone's opinion. For men, he is someone you need to check out, sometimes your barber is not enough. My only problem with him is he doesn't like mac and cheese. Like who doesn't like mac and cheese?

Is Max nice? He told us he could get 40 in an NBA game. What y'all think? This man calls everybody twin because he actually has a twin. Y'all gonna have to pay extra for the unedited version of this one.

Former NFL player Matthew Cherry went from being a PA for Tracee Ellis Ross to directing an episode of ‘Blackish'. If that isn't a come-up, I don't know what is. And he breaks down what us girl dad's face doing our daughter's hair in his award-winning short, ‘Hair Love'. The struggle is real y'all but I wouldn't change it for the world.

Just because this man is a chef doesn't mean he needs to walk around with a knife that big. Kwame has jokes for days, but the jerk chicken story really gave me a new appreciation for his craft. Don't mess with a man who has dug a hole the height of him before.

Jordan's album title is a quadruple entendre so you know he ain't playin wit y'all. I can't vouch for the sushi in Chicago but Jordan says it's fire. Shoutout St. Louis they really produced some incredible music over the years. Tap in!

I swear to god Cree is one of the coolest people we eve talked to. The way she flips into the different voices is impressive, but she's been doing it since she was a kid! Next time you see me and Cree we'll be on rum springa!

BJ taught me how to sing from my diaphragm so it's almost over for y'all. A Chicago kid like us singing for President Obama … hit the stunt button one time! Went from the crib to singing background to centerstage and still ain't afraid to see y'all across the street.

How do you go from Agent Zero to No Chill Gill? This man is different. We got real parenting gems from the petty king! I could talk hoops with Gil all day. 3 years minimum for an apology is crazy!

I met Amber on “College Hill” and according to her I, was her favorite. Don't be surprised when we start a Halloween business. Amber has beef with the editing but I just wish y'all could see the Ray J outtakes. There's something really profound in minding your own business

My boy, Mack and I can definitely agree that more people need to put some respect on Method Man's name ! And please give Ahrii a producer credit for the Wu Tang TV show because he swears he knows everything. Who knew folks don't consider Staten Island a part of New York? From 'The Wire', to '90210' to' Swagger' the boy be working. 

DeMar and I have been going toe-to-toe since high school. The Crib still holds a grudge from when USC beat Georgia Tech. Compton made a real one. Now he's an honorary Chicagoan. The Kobe Drew League stories go crazy. When you a girl dad, Target is better than the mall!

How many Super Bowl champs can play the villain role like my boy Vern? This man is doing things a lot of actors wouldn't be willing to do to go to that place. I respect the commitment to the craft. Football players are different fr fr. I'm just tryna find a 7-on-7!

Kaitlyn Bristowe is the homie. We met on Dancing With The Stars Live but I need to tap in on her season of The Bachelor. Our stories from touring with DWTS are legendary but you had to be there. She's really my favorite Canadian guest until we get Jim Carey.

Call him Metta Sandiford-Artest everywhere but the airport. Me and Ahrii loved watching this man play for the Bulls way before he was my teammate. Coach Metta is a hilarious dude. Please believe no one else in the league is practicing with a forty pound weight vest on!

Christian King Combs is willing to do whatever it takes to continue the Bad Boy legacy, just don't ask him to walk anywhere for cheesecake. I swear he sounds just like his pops when he do those radio drops. We had a fun trip down memory lane. He does it for his family and with his family, just like me and Ahrii. Just get this man a few more coffee mugs!

LaRussell is not just making great music. He's giving out free game while changing the game while playing his own game! Doing shows in your own backyard is crazy! I really might pull up though. Save me a plate!

Kev said don't try to hit home runs, just try to make contact. This is why I play basketball bc I don't really get down like that, but clearly, it's working for Kev! It's a blessing to have a wife like Kev's who will push you to be better and also give you real advice. If you really rock with someone, make sure you watch their videos until the end!

IDK told us he was in the state penn and public college in the same year. Now he's reimagining education at Harvard in a real way. A true innovator. They were changing this man's shoes at Coachella like tires. Crazy. Ima need to try out this chocolate cake fr fr, but no free product placements!

I've known Amari Bailey since he was a shorty in Chicago. Of course, he knew at age 4 he was going to be in the NBA. He's got all the tools and I can't wait to see him go toe-to-toe with the best in the world. I swear kids these days will never know the struggle before NIL money! I'm not hating but I am.

If you haven't been in an anime fight, have you really lived? And just so guys know as funny as the RDC videos are, their videos had no effect on how we played. Mark Phillips is a legit comedian, writer and director y'all and make sure to put some respect on his name. He is about his team and they go where he goes. I really respect that.

Miles has a dope energy. He gives me faith in home-schooled kids cuz I got 2 of em. Shoutout to him for beating his pops 1-on-1 in hoops. Our father stopped playing against us before we had the chance. I haven't forgotten. Also, it's officially Bron 1 MJ 2 in my book. Don't at me!

Tobe Wee-gwe. It's a W. The way Tobe and Fat balance each other was dope to see in person. My dawg is not lying when he says the sports pep talks don't work with your wife. It takes a different playbook for real. You can really see the growth with his music and his visuals. Him and Ahrii think they're best friends now.

We're back for Season Two y'all! The legend Hit-Boy game thru and dropped some jewels. This man has worked with so many of the greats, but his Jay-Z and Nas stories had us looking for the stunt button. All in all, Hit's a family guy just like me and Ahrii. Even after winning four Grammy Awards he's still learning new ways to master his craft!
