Iman Amongst Men

"Sports is a marriage that is guaranteed to end in divorce." That's a bar. There's some people that got it out the mud and then there's others who got it off the couch. My boy passed the torch in this podcast game, shout out to ThomaHawk. Kids today don't know nothin' about burning your highlights on a DVD to make an opportunity for yourself. How many 5'7 NFL receivers do you know? Hawk is the real Status Pro. Some of our years in the NFL and NBA overlapped and the social injustice hit us both hard, but we handled it completely differently. I guess "Remember the Titans" isn't the best sports movie of all time if you're a kid. No limits!

Bianca “Taco” Stewart has been one of my closest friends since we met at Georgia Tech. She came on the show to talk about CTE and the toll it takes on the people afflicted and the people around them. This episode is dedicated to Demaryius Thomas. Demaryius and our other guest Mel Brooks started the Gladiator’s Hub, a non-profit that provides a safe space for athletes to deal with traumatic brain injury and head trauma. Support Bianca and Mel, and help honor DT by visiting https://www.gladiatorhub.org/.

His mama named him Cuttino, but Fat Joe nicknamd him Cat Daddy. Fat Joe calls you Cat, ima call you Cat. This man has stories spanning decades. Pip was his vet and he's still out here gettin buckets! Dad's Point of View is what we on now.

I promise you I ate Famous Amos cookies growing up. Hold on, but have you ever had that real "Cookies and Milk" though? I know I give my big brother Ahrii a hard time. I can't imagine being an only child. When you compare being a father to winning a NBA championship or Dancing With The Stars, I feel like there's no real comparison. Being a girl dad is the best feeling in the world, let me tell you. I give much respect to someone who can admit their faults. We're all just a work in progress.

This man Al Harrington is a legend. The color purp, Viola is big business. What if a small collective of NBA players started their own bank? You get a bag, you get a bag, we all get a bag. I promise you the "We Believe" Warriors were like that. Dude told us a crazy story of Stak jumping off couches in the club. Aye man, one of these NBA coaches almost caught my guy Al's hands. He bossed up and forced a trade instead. To go from a sit down with David Stern to partnering with the NBA and running for president, it's wild. Sheesh!

You know what's crazy? Caron Butler was really one of the highest ranked recruits out of high school and had his house raided at the same time. The 180 he did was for his kids and I respect it. Boy, we had a time in Israel. French fries and PJs. I promise you, you have not had that REAL work until you've blacked out with Kobe.

Nick Young or Swaggy P, which one is showing up for his first celebrity boxing match? We have mutual respect because we are the real NBA corner boys. It's crazy, how disrespectful my guy is when it comes to Chicago, but I'm going to show him the real Chi one of these days. I had never heard of a wine bath until I got to New York. We don't follow trends, we shop at thrift stores.

My boy CeeLo came through and dropped some real gems and crazy stories on me and my brother Ahrii. The best music is meant to be misunderstood. Sweet dreams are made of fears in Hollyweird. I think my mans style started even earlier than mine. He really used to pull up to kindergarten in suits with a pocket bible and an iron pipe. Life is all about the peaks and valleys like an EKG!

This episode is dedicated to all the real Bulls fans. Rel is one of those naturally funny people. Only a Chicago kid could sneak into a comedy club pretending to be the cleanup crew and wind up on stage. You know you've made it in Hollywood when you no longer have to audition. But raising kids in the spotlight is crazy man. Junie is already big timing me when she comes on set for a show. Rel's son has his own IMDB page at 12-years-old.

The original Flyboy, Hebru Brantley is making art cool and profitable. Growing up as a 6'8 artist from Chicago presented challenges for my boy. Fast-forward, "House full of some Hebru Brantley's" has a healthy price tag attached. I really tried to wrap my mind around why cartoons and comic books are so popular. I definitely lost that argument. We both went to college in ATL. There may or may not be a super stripper character in development after this conversation. What exactly is a splendiferous butt?
