[Miles Turner]

Did you lose any friends? You know, sometimes women go on these friend trips and they don't ever come back as friends.

[Lily Herman / Leigh Ann / Brianna Stewart]

No.

[Miles Turner]

Any further they go, the worse it gets.

[Lily Herman / Leigh Ann / Brianna Stewart]

Yeah. This was the biggest group I've ever been on a trip with, and we didn't have no problems.

[Miles Turner]

Didn't nobody hit on you?

[Lily Herman / Leigh Ann / Brianna Stewart]

Yeah, but I mean, it was like random ass people, like, nobody that I was interested in.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

You ain't want to get your groove back?

[Lily Herman / Leigh Ann / Brianna Stewart]

Nah, it wasn't giving those vibes.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

You have a wild moment on the trip one day. Like how many days I had wild Moments.

What was the best part about the trip? Seem like y' all was drunk every day.

[Lily Herman / Leigh Ann / Brianna Stewart]

We were drunk every day. Every day was good. My favorite thing, it was like a harbor lights, like a beach dinner type thing. And they had like the people on stills, the guy doing the fire, like playing with the fire and stuff like that. And it was just a good time.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

Nurse D. How she sitting on her butt now though?

[Lily Herman / Leigh Ann / Brianna Stewart]

She probably has Uber with my ass to the. I had to make sure I was super comfortable on this flight back. I go first class. The flight back is terrible. I stayed in Miami for a while. I said goodbye to my girl and it was really bittersweet cuz they took good care of the queen. The flight back was going to be fun. If you just had surgery. Make sure you book with. I made sure I wrapped up my health cuz I wasn't trying to go on the flight. See, she's sitting down in her chair. I literally was riding through the airport like this, like, oh, she in the wheelchair. My cousin was pushing me just a new ass. Communication is key. As soon as I let my. You not. You don't want to lose any fat. And then it's going to hurt as well.

[Miles Turner]

Yeah, she's sitting backwards on the plane.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

Oh, she rolled like this.

[Lily Herman / Leigh Ann / Brianna Stewart]

Yeah. So judge your mama. Everybody who was staring at me, I made sure directly in their eyes, they knew I was how much money

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

[Lily Herman / Leigh Ann / Brianna Stewart]

They make you originally sit down with your seat belt on for, like, takeoff. And then after that, you. I was sitting up like I was big mama. Like, I had a fat seat. Imagine landing, holding my abs so my abs do not touch his seat. And as soon as we was up in the air, I immediately got back on my.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

No, why you keep saying, like just not expensive?

[Lily Herman / Leigh Ann / Brianna Stewart]

I would say she has money to buy three things.

When you listen to podcasts about AI and tech and the future of Humanity. The hosts always act like they know what they're talking about. And they are experts at everything. Here at the Nick Dickenpole show, we're not afraid to make mistakes. Mistakes. What Coogler did that I think was so unique. He's the writer director.

[John Green]

Who do you think he is?

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

I don't know.

[Nick Dickenpole / Edwin Castro]

You meet the, like the president.

It's like the old Polish saying, not my monkeys, not my circus. Yep, it was a good one.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

I like that snake.

[John Green]

It's an actual Polish saying.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

It is an actual Polish saying.

[John Green]

Better version of play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

[Miles Turner]

Yes.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

[Daniel Alarcon]

Very debatable.

[John Green]

And I was their most loyal and sometimes only fan. I love this game. I love its history, its hope, its heartbreak, and above all, its beauty.

[Daniel Alarcon]

Together we'll find out why. Of all the unimportant things football, soccer is the most important.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

He called it black pack. That's where you don't. Yeah. If you can afford to get that though.

[Miles Turner]

I never heard of cheese shaming, but I guess you know what I'm saying. It's levels and everything.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

But B, what's your favorite cereal?

[Lily Herman / Leigh Ann / Brianna Stewart]

It's like a banana granola type cereal. I don't even know what it's called, but it's so fire Banana.

[Miles Turner]

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

Yo, daddy made that. It wasn't real.

It is fire. Try it. Will he be as far as cereal or.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

He don't eat cereal.

[Lily Herman / Leigh Ann / Brianna Stewart]

He do. He like. What does he like? I don't know. We don't really eat cereal at our house because I don't like milk, so I only buy specific milk, and if I can't find anything, it's like a. I don't even know what it is. It's not a silk milk. It's called, like, necks or something like that. But it's not dairy.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

This is buying. This Amazon milk.

[Lily Herman / Leigh Ann / Brianna Stewart]

It's plant based. I can't do no dairy.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

Y' all keep saying almond milk for sure.

[Miles Turner]

Almond milk is fire, y'.

[Lily Herman / Leigh Ann / Brianna Stewart]

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

Coconut milk.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

Oh, that's too sweet, too.

[Lily Herman / Leigh Ann / Brianna Stewart]

It's real thin.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

When I get done sweetening, coconut milk is good.

[Lily Herman / Leigh Ann / Brianna Stewart]

It's just thin.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

Try. Watch his weight.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

My favorite term is also Raisin Bran. Raisin, man.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

That is a nasty race. This eating hot dogs and Raisin Bran. I'm done with this. This eats Raisin Bran.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

But he's more versatile with his palate.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

No, he's not.

[Miles Turner]

I said this is Mike at the game.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

That's crazy.

[Miles Turner]

I'm something.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

Y' all know what? I just eat religiously at my house by itself. Hawaiian bread. Like, I just smack Hawaiian bread. Just walking around the crib. Just grab a roll and go upstairs.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

Yeah, bro.

[Lily Herman / Leigh Ann / Brianna Stewart]

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

Yeah.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

Why don't you just make a sandwich, bro?

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

I don't need it.

[Miles Turner]

I want you to cold.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

I don't even warm that bit up. Nothing.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

A Hawaiian roll, buddy.

[Miles Turner]

People who love Hawaiian rolls, though.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

I've been eating bread like that my whole life, though. I ain't gonna hurt you.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

Yeah, I'm cool.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

I'm amazed I never got fat.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

Yeah, I'm cool. You always been an athlete, though.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

Yeah.

[Miles Turner]

You have an amazing diet, bro. Washing off the pieces and then smacking

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

up a wine roll. Getting mad at me about like y' all had. Really mad at me. Cause I took off of my pizza.

[Miles Turner]

Pizza was writing me like, yo, you

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

But you do play with your food too much, bro.

[Miles Turner]

I just said all go to the car pack. This is crazy. The concept behind this, obviously, is a gentleman is upset at the dealership. He's not happy with his appraisal. I don't know what took place. He decided that y' all gonna praise this one way or another. Apparently, straight in. He didn't get what he wanted. Had a little bit.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

Now you ain't gonna get nothing. I never understood why people destroy their own to prove a point.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

Yeah, I never understood that.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

Like, when girls get mad and they start breaking their own. Yeah. I'll be like, when does that happen like when y'. All. Like when you in an apartment and y' all stay in an apartment together and you rip the TV off the wall?

[Miles Turner]

That's rtv.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

I'll be like, that was our tv.

[Lily Herman / Leigh Ann / Brianna Stewart]

Like, oh, no, I ain't never been that crazy. I don't damage.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

I'm just saying. I used to watch love and hip hop. That's the kind of they used to do.

[Lily Herman / Leigh Ann / Brianna Stewart]

Basically on drugs.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

Yeah, but don't get a no idea. Ripped my TV off the wall. Royal Rumba. Ah. TV is too. TV is too precious. Throw this vase on the ground or something. Oh, you take a TV that's damn near everything in the crib.

[Miles Turner]

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

Yeah, I've never experienced like that. I had a good up.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

No, I had a girl.

[Miles Turner]

My fault.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

I broke up with a girl when I was young and she took all the stuff out of my car and poured soda all on all my, like, hoop gear and. But it wasn't mine. It was Phillips hoop gear.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

Why?

[Lily Herman / Leigh Ann / Brianna Stewart]

Damn.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

She thought she my up. She in front of the car.

[Miles Turner]

Yeah.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

I'm like, that ain't no. How hard call her. You know, it's bad.

[Miles Turner]

It feels like.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

That ain't my. I'm over there rolling. It ain't me, bro. My in the trunk.

[Lily Herman / Leigh Ann / Brianna Stewart]

I don't do that to my. But I've done it to my friends with them, see? Got a whole little case for them.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

Oh, yeah?

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

What you do?

[Lily Herman / Leigh Ann / Brianna Stewart]

We up his car. Well, I guess it ended up being the girl's car. And her daddy was a police officer.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

Wow.

[Lily Herman / Leigh Ann / Brianna Stewart]

They had us on camera. We just sitting there with the lawyers,

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

like that gotta be better. What?

[Lily Herman / Leigh Ann / Brianna Stewart]

The Barbie we left came back. We were hanging out the Jeep, having the time of our life. When we came into the apartments, it was police right there. Out of all four of the in the car, none of us was like, maybe we shouldn't do this. We left, came back, got some more shit to up the car. Just was having the time of our life. So watching it with the lawyers was like, this is crazy, but y' all never do my niggas like that.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

Yeah, okay. And it was her car.

[Lily Herman / Leigh Ann / Brianna Stewart]

It was the girl car.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

Wow.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

Yeah.

[Lily Herman / Leigh Ann / Brianna Stewart]

She put cases on the whore ass.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

Oh, nasty. A police.

[Lily Herman / Leigh Ann / Brianna Stewart]

We was twerking on her car.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

Doing all kind of crazy for that course said.

[Miles Turner]

Yeah.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

Imagine watching yourself twerking. A girl like she's twerking on a car and a lawyer like, you know, you're cooked.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

Did I have to pay for anything?

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

Yeah.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

Hell yeah.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

How much I had to pay?

[Lily Herman / Leigh Ann / Brianna Stewart]

I don't remember exactly. It was only a couple. It was a couple thousand we had to pay. And then like our court fees and all that. It was, yeah.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

She got her whole new whip pulled up in Alexis at that site.

[Lily Herman / Leigh Ann / Brianna Stewart]

Her for real.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

She didn't do nothing.

[Miles Turner]

Respect.

[Lily Herman / Leigh Ann / Brianna Stewart]

She provoked us.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

Well, most how.

[Miles Turner]

That's what happened to carbacks. I guess he was focused. Well, he just ruined all his credit and a chance to get a car for a very long time. Period.

[Lily Herman / Leigh Ann / Brianna Stewart]

That's where our car was from too.

[Miles Turner]

You can play this. I mean, I play. You can show this right here. This is absolutely hilarious, man. This woman, Jones Bros. Got arrested because she was accidentally paid 1650 an hour instead of $16.50 for a 12 hour shift. The total overpayment was 19,000. She refused to return it. Now they try to give her a felony theft charge.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

They overpay her and got mad at her.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

Yeah. Why would she say anything? Look at her.

[Miles Turner]

Yeah, that's messed up. They put that picture up of her. But hey, she did everything right.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

For sure.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

They out of pocket.

[Lily Herman / Leigh Ann / Brianna Stewart]

They had to lock her up.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

She ain't doing nothing wrong. You need to sue them.

[Lily Herman / Leigh Ann / Brianna Stewart]

Take it out her taxes. But don't lock them.

[Miles Turner]

No, don't take it from y' all taxes. Your account, fire hr.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

How am I getting a felony because somebody else's mistake. I just came to work because she wouldn't give it back.

[Lily Herman / Leigh Ann / Brianna Stewart]

I just came to work.

[Miles Turner]

You gave it to me.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

I worked for the 1650.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

She got paid 1650, a thousand I think. She was never leaving that. She about to work 25.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

Where is she working at?

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

First of all, I don't know.

[Miles Turner]

But I ain't gonna lie.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

It needs to be investigated.

[Miles Turner]

If I made 16.50, you run me up 19 ranks and get him blood.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

I wouldn't say the word. I'd have quit.

[Miles Turner]

I smith it the most.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

I would for sure quit.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

I would have quit, right, for going back to work. Oh, God.

[Miles Turner]

Hey, this. This look too sweet.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

Okay, I gotta run this up.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

That was a hell of a HR mistake.

[Miles Turner]

1700. So they catch me, I'm running this hole up.

[Lily Herman / Leigh Ann / Brianna Stewart]

A felon charge is crazy though.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

Yeah, but damn, I'm getting charged, man.

[Miles Turner]

That ain't right, man. All she did was Go to work and get her chicken, man.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

The better.

[Miles Turner]

H.R. all right, man. B. Appreciate you. It's 520 somewhere. Tap in, man. She fresh off vacation, man. We know you was gonna make it or not, man. Shout out to you.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

Shout out to you family for sure.

[Miles Turner]

Behead. This for you, man. Go hello to video. They said this is the day you directors, man, for their first weekend back.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

Oh, niggas, can't wait. For sure. This aucc gonna be wicked too.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

She almost failed.

[Miles Turner]

Yeah, we ain't got an insurance barber.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

Be careful.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

These kids is getting paid. You know they paying these kids all this money. You know these directors is wiping down.

[Miles Turner]

That's what I was about to say.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

Y' all think they take home a tournament.

[Miles Turner]

Oh, I know some numbers too.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

As a ref, what you think of dj? I don't. I don't. I can't even. The fact the kids is getting 20, 10, 30, 40, $50,000 just to hoop in the summer. I know to take home from the top got to be insane.

[Miles Turner]

So I know some of the numbers that they used to have as a stipend just to pay the rest of the weekend, bro. And it would blow your mind how much money it was, bro. It was some. Some real chicken just to pay the referees. They ain't always get it. They give you your rate. But boy, especially like big events like the brand names and, bro.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

Because It'd be like 50 a week in the head.

[Miles Turner]

Come on, man.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

So what we say up here?

[Miles Turner]

Especially if it's a session too, if it's a big thing like EYBL or three SSB.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

40,000 to 120,200. Yeah. Annually. That's what they get.

[Miles Turner]

That's one of the director, though. That's not even what the people at like Best Choice and like that Alan was out there getting chicken on them events, bro.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

Co directors124.

[Miles Turner]

Because a lot of times, depending upon if it's a brand event, it's already paid for it, right? So the brand is already paying for that. You got teams, some of them paying the entry fees. Then you get in the door too. Unless you have a concession stand.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

Them boys going to work. Okay.

[Miles Turner]

Come on, man.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

You're getting $102,000 for a summer. A lot of a bunch of kids it. That's what it really is, bro. That's right. If you don't play on the eybl, the Adidas, three S's or any of that, bro, you're cooked, bro. Them feet, they damn near cost more to play on These outside tournaments than to do this, bro. I'm not bullshitting, bro.

[Miles Turner]

Yeah, because they like a sponsor. They said we gonna get it one way.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

If you paying for aau, you probably shouldn't be playing AAUD you.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

I feel that hardly on the real.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

But hey, who am I to hate

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

on somebody, all right?

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

Cause get your bread, man.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

Especially that early, though. That early for a kid. You starting him out in fifth grade. You know he horrible. Cause that's the fee to play. You gotta pay, I guess, his yearly fee. Then you gotta pay for when y' all go see this little play, you and his daddy or whoever, that's 25 a day, bare minimum. Then y' all gotta pay for y' all trip, hotel, flight.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

Man, I have a kid, and he. And he hoop or she hoop. And we ain't playing no AAU today in, like, high school. It ain't no point.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

You say ninth grade?

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

Yeah, eighth grade. Ninth grade. Ish. Like, eighth grade would be the first time we play AAU or something. Yeah, it ain't no point you not getting recruited in seventh grade.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

That's true.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

What's the point of being the number one seventh grader? And you ain't hit a growth spur yet. You ain't got no hair on your nuts.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

Yeah, that is true.

[Miles Turner]

And you could be number seven. Grade it, man. I'm marrying Grade because you can still be 5, 10. Everybody else, 6, 4, 9.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

Oh, yeah, we learned about that a lot of growing up. A lot of people that was dead.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

We gonna play around the local area, try to get as good as we can.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

So you'll put them in the league?

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

Oh, we gonna play basketball.

[Miles Turner]

President Lavois Cruisette. God, I love that thing.

[John Green]

I use it all the time. I wrap it in a blanket and sing to it at night.

[Nick Dickenpole / Edwin Castro]

It's like the old Polish saying, not my monkeys, not my circus. Yep, it was a good one. I like that saying.

[John Green]

It's an actual Polish saying.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

It is an actual Polish. Better version of play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Yes.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

For us, soccer football is a story we've shared for over 30 years, since Daniel was the star player on our high school soccer team.

[Daniel Alarcon]

Very debatable.

[John Green]

And I was their most loyal and sometimes only fan. I love this game. I love its history, its hope, its heartbreak, and above all, its beauty.

[Daniel Alarcon]

Together we'll find out why. Of all the unimportant things football, soccer is the most important.

[John Green]

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

Yeah, like you said, if you paying to play, it is kind of.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

Nah. So you get in high school and everything paid for.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

Cause you damn near put that on the kids when they really sad.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

Yeah.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

You start really taking this shit out on them.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

I'm traveling to motherfucking my mom and Daddy paying 100, 200 every tournament, every weekend.

[Miles Turner]

And I'm weak.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

And I'm weak. We getting our ass beat. Or I'm so.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

I used to. When we used to try, I used to be like, damn, you know, your son is trash and ain't playing. And y' all still pulling up.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

Would never.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

Y' all some different kind of parents.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

Would never.

[Miles Turner]

Yo, some average four, you going up to Cincinnati.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

I seen some. I love Bruce to death, but it was times my did not play. Couple of them kids, I'm like, bro, you gotta put them in, gang.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

Yeah, I'm doing all 300. Let's get better, bro. We young guys sit on the bench, bro.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

So what do you advise parents to do if they take the route that you saying? What is the best way to go about developing your kids?

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

Be the best in your city. If you become one of the top players in your city by playing in your city all the time, you're gonna be okay. Cause obviously there's gonna be some people that's going. You only get to play these people once or twice a summer, right?

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

Yeah.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

You playing top teams or whatever it is you're gonna play on once or twice a summer. Oh, that's really gonna make you better.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

Yeah, no, that's true.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

I played against the number one player in the country one time when I was in. Played against OJ Mayo one time when I was in middle school. That didn't do shit for me. Them niggas beat us by fucking 25. I went home and said, damn, he good. Yeah, they ain't do shit for me back in Atlanta.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

They just train every day or three times a week.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

Train workout.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

Cause people really be in game behind that shit, bro.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

Cause train workout. Playing your local leagues, if it's AAU games in your city or, you know, I mean, even if you want to travel to Cincinnati, you're like, we want to play against some different people. People outside of our city.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

Yeah, cool.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

But, like, going these, like. We used to take kids to D.C. and think about all the kids we used to take to DC

[Miles Turner]

Man.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

Yeah, Y' all live that life.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

They don't even hoop. We had kids staying with us, and he stopped hooping the next year.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

That's true. It's a good experience.

[Miles Turner]

Yeah.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

Just money.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

Yeah.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

I'm saying, if you got a sponsor team and y' all not paying for nothing, that's different.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

Oh, yeah. Hell, yeah. That's what we talking about. Two totally different things.

[Miles Turner]

Oh, lock in.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

And you really don't got it. You gonna be upset at the coach.

[Miles Turner]

Yeah, true. And you said the train part. Some kids just need to go play basketball, go to an open gym, go play against older competition where you can't call foul. Go hoop. I've been training all day, and none of the moves translate.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

I agree with that. But to the kids, defense, bro, it'd be hard finding a good run or a decent run. That's the only thing. Besides, when we was growing up in the early 2000s, these could go to the Y, or you can go to your friend's house or you can go to the park.

[Miles Turner]

That's true.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

Kids don't hoop no more. Yeah. They don't just hoop. They gotta be, like, in a real gym or whatever. It gotta be, oh, if this person playing, I'm playing. Yeah.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

If these. At these gyms. A lot of these be 75. Sweaty kids ain't getting another player against a grandpa.

[Miles Turner]

Yeah.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

I wish they had started linking up more. I'm like, damn, I get y' all ride bikes and. But the neighborhoods ain't changed. I don't give a what nobody say. It's still kids in everybody neighborhood play the best to the saddest in the hood. Got to hoop. You know how many stories got with you saying, I played against this and build back or whoever. Backyard like, no.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

Everything.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

Yeah. That just don't happen no more. That's what I hate most about this.

[Miles Turner]

Yeah. I mean, we might sound like the old people being bitter about the time chain, but these are hardwood babies now. They play on hardwood. Yeah.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

Oh, yeah.

[Miles Turner]

They play in gyms with nice lights and benches. They not going to hoop.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

I just be wanting to know when does it click in a parent's head that they know that their kid ain't good? I. I swear to God, I always wanted to know. Cause I'd be like, damn,

[Miles Turner]

I'll do my dog like that. He still.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

Yeah, he's just starting, and he's fairly Young, bro. I'm talking about, like, is it 13, 14? I feel like 13, depending on if you. Now, if you already 6, 5, 6, 6, and you project to be 7 foot, you got a little bit more grace than the. That's a guard. That's five, eight.

[Miles Turner]

Yeah.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

Now, if you projected just to be five eight for the rest of your life, and you only mid, it's gonna be kind of hard for you to surpass some. All right.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

I think it clicked, like, ninth grade. What are y' all gauging is, like, good, though? Like, good enough to do what? Like, high school basketball team.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

Like to play varsity. Fresh out of middle school.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

It's some sad high school varsity. Yeah. If I. I'm be honest, if my kid can't go to college to play basketball, don't waste your time. I'm not doing no training or nothing.

[Miles Turner]

We just gonna.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

You can poop all you want. Like, you can play basketball. I ain't gonna never tell you not to play on your high school team. But some extra shit. And I know, like, I don't care what level of college. That's not the goal. D3, D2, whatever it is.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

Yeah.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

If you can go get a play basketball in college, we can train, we can do all that stuff. But if you just can't make it to college, if you just not good enough, like, nah, ain't nobody with you. I'm not training. You gonna be the smartest in the room. Like, yeah, well, we really get these grades, right? Like, ain't no reason to train, bro. You're not going to college for none of this, bro.

[Miles Turner]

And we still have a lot of parents living their hoop dreams with their kids. It's like, oh, Lord, that's here because he has, bro, you play Roblox?

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

You know, if your kids, like, you gotta be honest with yourself, bro. He's probably not gonna hoop in college.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

I'll be trying to figure out that age to where parents were. All right, I had enough of this. I'm sick of this. We. We gotta shut it down.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

You never know, though. Cause a might hit a growth spurt at 16, 17, eight juniors in high school might be five change. And he's six, seven now. All of a sudden now. Yeah, now he ready to go to college. Cause I be like, man, I wrote this off, man. He five, ten. He wake up the next morning, he's six one. I'll be like, oh, my God, we back in the lab.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

Yeah, that's true too. Yeah, that's just. That's just a tough. Cause I promise you, bro, the parents, a parent spend all this money on the kid. I know of a situation. That's what I'm speaking on.

[Miles Turner]

They want the roi.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

Well, motherfucker is like, nigga, you got me fucked up. I'm damn near $150,000 in debt because of this basketball shit. From training.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

That's tough.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

From training to traveling. This is, you know him too, Jeff. This is from training, traveling. We just talked about another day training with all the best. You know, this only do premium, so he getting the best of the best.

[Miles Turner]

Okay.

Yeah, but yeah, I was just saying, it's like he kind of like. He don't hate it, so. Of course not. That's still his baby. But he like, we could have did something along something else a long time ago, bro.

[Miles Turner]

Yeah, man.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

they traded you for Luca. I'm like, rich, shut the hell up. What? Like, shut. What do you want? I think he's. I'm thinking. Really be thinking. He's just playing. And he was like. He was like, man, I swear. And at the time, like, wow, Palinka is calling me. I'm like, all right, Rich, I'm gonna call you back. Let me see.

No, I'm sorry. Nico was calling me and I'm like, rich, I'm gonna call you back. Like, hello? Yeah, I told you I was gonna come get you one day. I wanted you. Huh? That's crazy.

[Miles Turner]

That's how he found out he was Maverick. Hearing AD's side of the story about him getting traded is hilarious, man. Also, him getting blindsided to Washington was hilarious. But he said he with the young core out there, man. Shout out to Draymond. Dope pop.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

Yeah, it's wicked, bro.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

Definitely wicked.

[Miles Turner]

To be playing with people lives like that is hilarious, bro. Wake up. And I gotta move to a different city.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

And it's from Lakers to Dallas to Washington.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

Who about to be.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

They sick of me.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

My boy Kyle Cor about to be in Chicago.

[Miles Turner]

Potential candidates take over the Bulls front office job. Yep. Mike Dunleavy Jr. Kyle Corver, Landry Fields, Matt Lloyd and Austin Brown. I thought it was hilarious that they had Kyle Corver and Landry Fields. Opportunity for that situation is funny as hell.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

Give it to Cal, man.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

I can see Kyle being a good potential. That's hard. I wonder if he wants to. I'm asking Mike Dunleavy Jr. He's in Golden State right now, right?

[Miles Turner]

Yeah. That's very interesting.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

He. Yeah, he that shit. Up, up.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

What is the position?

[Miles Turner]

Hey, I want him to do something wild. I want him to it up.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

Yeah, cuz, he. He didn't it up already. Yeah, he lost Jordan pool.

[Miles Turner]

A little bit of conspiracy in his bone. But that's why m. Loki left. He left right before got tricked.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

He was just like.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

He pulled a major job.

[Miles Turner]

He said, I'm not about to deal with this.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

Yeah. He said, I'm out.

[Miles Turner]

And then Mike don't even say, hey, I don't give a what y' all was.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

I'm surprised that he not like, like top for candidate Myers.

[Miles Turner]

Yeah, I don't think he Want that job.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

Oh, he don't want to with that no more.

[Miles Turner]

Yeah, well I think it's the Bulls in particular he's probably not too interested in. That is a tough job right now to sell. They said his old boys they fired they was like they didn't even know they were. Wasn't tapped in with him until after they hired him. I think that that's crazy. Yeah, the Bulls get well soon. A lot going on.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

Would be a good pick.

[Miles Turner]

Yeah, I think so too.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

I wanted to ask y' all how y' all feel about K's return NBA out of pocket or.

[Miles Turner]

I wish he would have came back in enough time to get that 65 game limit so he could have been first seen by NBA. One game shot sucks.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

Lou made a good point, man. If you was good enough to play tomorrow, he probably was good enough to play yesterday.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

Yeah, that's crazy.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

I wish he would have just subbed in.

[Miles Turner]

Yeah.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

Played one minute, subbed out, got the 64 game, came back, played his last game, got 65. So he can make all NBA.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

Cause don't that play with his money.

[Miles Turner]

Yeah, I mean obviously he's on supermax and he'll probably make another all NBA

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

even on supermax yet he had to make a all NBA team to get Supermax. Right?

[Miles Turner]

Oh, damn.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

Wow.

[Miles Turner]

So it's all NBA or all star

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

or is it both NBA?

[Miles Turner]

Oh, that's tough. Well, he got a little bit of time but yeah, that's tough. I would have as much happens in the NBA. I would have loved for that to happen, bro. Yeah, that all in knowledgeable team is crazy because there a lot of people playing but I mean they had real injuries and it wasn't like it was low management in the past years K

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

Max wiki contract that you get up to 269 make all NBA, huh?

[Miles Turner]

Yeah.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

Yeah. See I need that 269 for Cade, man. He deserved it this year.

[Miles Turner]

Yeah. The deal process 30% of the salary cap if he makes the all NBA team. And he signed the deal in 24, bro.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

No way bro.

[Miles Turner]

To lose off. Oh my God.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

For one game.

[Miles Turner]

I see why they doing that video, bro. That video. Excuse me, please tap in.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

Yeah, they have to, bro. They robbing you Cade.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

All my life, bro.

[Miles Turner]

I have a puncture lung, bro. I swear I'm not bullshitting, bro. This is not a swollen ankle.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

Nah.

[Miles Turner]

Yeah, stomach virus.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

He jammed his finger, bro.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

And it's. We don't know if he can recreate. I'm not saying he can't we don't know if he can recreate this season. Yeah, you know what I mean? We don't know if he'll be the best team in the league and one of the top players in the league. So damn.

[Miles Turner]

You know, that's an interesting point. That's one thing I haven't liked about some of the discourse. People are just like, well, they can try again next year, bro. You can't guarantee that. Well, you don't know what can happen.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

I may go off our team one time time. Because that's true, you know, I mean, you don't know what can happen, bro.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

That is true.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

He could still be killing, but somebody else could be doing way more and make all NBA. Dan Lillard could come back and have a moment's coming back.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

Yeah, bro, it's a lot of, you

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

know what I mean? Steph Curry might play a full season. You never know, you know what I mean? All these dudes.

[Miles Turner]

Yeah, that is tough, man. I don't like how people just acting like people are supposed to be good every year. I know we expect a lot from some of these people, but it is normal that, you know, some people have. Have bad season sometimes, bro, it's. And even some people's bad season, the regular season for most, but still that sucks, man. Get well soon. But moving on. The board of Governors meet in May 28, man. Anti tanking proposal, man. 18 teams the bottom 10 and miss a play in the eight to qualifier part of lottery. Bob T have 8% shot and the other 20% is split amongst the rest. How y' all feel about this? Man, all 18 spots getting drawn for the lottery. They're making it more dramatic, but

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

I ain't mad at it.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

[John Green]

It's an actual Polish saying.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

It is an actual Polish. Better version of Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

[Miles Turner]

For us, soccer football is a story we've shared for over 30 years, since Daniel was the star player on our high school soccer team.

[Daniel Alarcon]

Very debatable.

[John Green]

And I was their most loyal and sometimes only fan. I love this game. I love its history, its hope, its heartbreak and above all, its beauty.

Yeah cuz that a community effect bro. Being in high school bro.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

Yeah that even look bad. It just was how he got probably get popped in front of a convenience

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

store or some like that that they

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

[Miles Turner]

Yeah just off the folklore alone I

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

always got respect all the love he was getting. I'm like he had to be number one player in talking about him.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

That crazy.

[Miles Turner]

Yeah man, that sucks to see but yeah we'll see what they do with the end out taking because I don't think next year's draft is going to be as good as this one. So you probably have teams probably trying to play for real anyway so like yeah who's they might be doing this for no reason.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

Who the potential number one pick next year.

[Miles Turner]

I couldn't tell you off hand because I don't even know who's going to leave or stay. But yeah, it's not too many one and dones as you see in this in this upcoming high school class.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

I think they got predicted number two next year though.

[Miles Turner]

Yeah with this nil shit. It's so crazy.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

It's crazy. For the last two years we knew AJ the Bancer Cooper flag.

[Miles Turner]

He was hooping.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

How old is this?

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

25.

[Miles Turner]

Old enough to have a 2020 double double. That means I need 2 million.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

Yeah.

[Miles Turner]

Pay what you weigh. Shout out to the nil evaluation.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

I'm late to the league. It we got a good start in life.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

I. I probably would have left a High point. I ain't going to hold you. I got guaranteed that seven year. I'm sure you can get some more chicken.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

Oh, yeah, you can go somewhere.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

High point got. High point got. That's a nice school, though. It might have some bread and they

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

probably taking care of that, too.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

Probably got some bread.

[Miles Turner]

I with it when I'm waiting on. It's for somebody to lose to a team in the tournament and then announce that they going there next. That's no way.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

No way. You can't beat me. Somebody I seen that had them in their top.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

That's wild, bro. Oh, boy. It's crazy. I think his last name is Reed from Yukon.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

He played Michigan.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

Played Michigan, yeah. UConn won two times in a row. Next transfer and lose to Michigan.

[Miles Turner]

Yeah, he was at crazy. He spent his whole college at UConn in Michigan some. It was unfortunate to get not get

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

a championship in either one of them.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

Okay, that is insane, bro.

[Miles Turner]

Yeah, man, but like you said, nil, boy. He got paid to go to both of them schools, boy.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

Oh, for sure. The money good, I think.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

Yeah, he green.

[Miles Turner]

Yeah, man. College sport is real now for sure, man. I'm excited, man. We about to have the plays, but the NBA playoffs are on the way, baby. We go from March Madness to the real basketball playoff prediction. Anybody got a bold playoff prediction y' all want to stand on for the playoffs? For a start? Be here. Okay, see, back to back, you something I'm rolling. Not that that's too bold, but you something I'm rolling.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

The Nuggets you got.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

You said who?

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

OKC or the Nuggets?

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

I got the same. It's you out west.

[Miles Turner]

If I had to pick a team to come out the East. Who y'? All? Who y' all picking?

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

Cleveland for me.

[Miles Turner]

Cleveland Four Seagulls.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

I love J.T. to death, but probably Cleveland. They got a strong.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

I got Boston or Detroit.

[Miles Turner]

Boston or Detroit? Yeah, I ain't mad at it. I'm going to sit roll with Detroit, man. I'm locked in K coming back, man. It might take him a little bit of time to get his mars back, but I believe in that team. With that second unit playing the way they playing, that's a scary team. Also, I would not count the Celtics. Like you said, championship pedigree. We've seen JB dominating the fourth, and they need to. JT's only getting better. They got Booch back. I believe in that pedigree to get over the teams in the East. But we will see, man. I think it's going to be a lot of parody, especially in the east with the Lakers being damn. Get well soon. Yeah, I'm a little disappointed at me. I would wanted to see playoff. Luca and Brian man activated for real. We won't get to see that this year, unfortunately. Maybe never again. Probably last year in la. This Rockets team been winning some games too. But I don't know what that looks like. You got your guy Jamie Daniels back and AE should be back hopefully soon on A's behalf. But the Timberwolves, they could be a

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

sleeper if they healthy.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

But I think they just too banged up, bro.

[Miles Turner]

Yeah, bad timing.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

Bad timing, Hunter. It might be ugly.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

Yeah, okay.

[Miles Turner]

I mean we will see, man. NBA playoffs on the way. Also 5:20 day. We're going to announce it coming soon.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

Can I say today, not the date.

[Miles Turner]

Oh, I can't say that either. Hey, we're gonna have a good time, man. It's gonna be interactive during the day, turn up at night. We got merch live. Tap in if you can't pull up, man. We appreciate y' all always support us, man. Fox, we're gonna go up.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

Yeah. We having a field day. We talking about it today, but we got a field day. Yeah, we already got some of the teams picked. You want to special merch?

[Miles Turner]

Yeah. It's gonna be a vibe, man.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

It's gonna be lit, man. It's a familiar place. We all got our own teams. Cause these, these, these and these non athletes are not on my team.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

Oh, don't worry.

[Miles Turner]

Yeah. I'm here to win.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

He don't got no athletes on his team.

[Miles Turner]

You don't know my roster.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

His men's league that he play in, they are not athletic. I watched him play a Butler. We gonna beat them. This don't know an athlete but me ain't good and I'm not athlete no more. Hey, Gun sh probably actually has the scariest team. Beh team is probably the scariest.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

Don't you wait, boy.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

No, that's can't.

[Mike D.J. Wells / Lou]

I think so.

[DJ Wells / Mike D.J. Wells]

He must. He must have joined. But I think me and Mal is gonna win because we created the games. He must have joined the alpha then. No. Oh, he good in them not beating us. He got a longer list than a team.
