Transcript

[A]

No, LeBron gets another one. It's in his contract. Like he's getting two more because like all these guys, they have contracts, right? So, okay, this guy's gonna be a superstar. We're assigned to a max contract. In that max contract, he is entitled to one NBA championship of a shoe deal and multi millions of dollars. However, in the process, he has to get publicly made fun of in the media. It's all media based, all business. You know what I'm saying? I know.

[B]

It's like WWE 100.

[A]

Everything's scripted. Anything that makes quantillions of bajillions of quandillions of dollars is scripted. Foreign.

[B]

We got a Vegas local on today. We got Grady. I've played, played some hoots with him a few times, right?

[A]

Yes, sir.

[B]

Yeah. It's good to see you in a podcast setting. You've been, you've been balling a lot lately.

[A]

You know, I've been balling here and there, try to get, you know, keep my body right, you know?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I don't want to just show up one day and not be able to shoot the same, you know, I don't, I don't want to do that.

[B]

That's what you're known for, shooting that.

[A]

I mean, and that's what pays the bills. Like my jump shot. Like, like people in high school would never say this, but Grady, fer your jump shot pays the bills. So I'm just happy to be here, man. Honestly, I'm just happy. I'm just stoked.

[B]

Yeah. Thanks for coming on, man. You've been hooping for a while though, like your whole life.

[A]

I've been hooping since I was in fifth grade, man. I've been hooping since I'm in fifth grade.

[B]

Believer old.

[A]

Yeah. So it's in my DNA, bro.

[B]

You got to a good level. You, I, I looked you up. You played in high school, right?

[A]

I played in high school. My high school team won the Section 6 championship during COVID Like we would have went to states and probably won but just Covid shut it down.

[B]

Was that a private school or public?

[A]

Public. Oh, playing against everybody. Playing against everybody, you know.

[B]

And were you a starter? No comment.

[A]

I started occasionally, you know, when I wasn't in trouble or when I wasn't, you know, not showing up to practice or whatever the case may be.

[B]

Oh, so you were a little bit of a troublemaker?

[A]

I tried to, dude. I feel like I was never a troublemaker, but trouble was just drawn to me, bro. I feel like trouble was just like, like anytime, like I was just having fun. The whole school could be having fun, but they're gonna be like, yo, Grady, let's make. Let's make a scapegoat out of you and get you in trouble. And that happened a lot. Honestly.

[B]

You were the fall guy.

[A]

Always the fall guy. Always the fall guy, and I never made sense to me, bro. It wasn't fair.

[B]

So you didn't speak up for yourself, bro.

[A]

You know what? I should have. I should have spoke out more when a younger Grady should have been like, yo, get all them, too. They're all. They're all screwing off.

[B]

You know what's the worst thing you did? I pulled a fire alarm when I was in high school.

[A]

You put a fire alarm?

[B]

Got suspended for five days. I had to pass a drug test to get back into school.

[A]

Oh, you're crazy. Yeah, I never did anything like that. I got a restraining order from the librarian.

[B]

Damn.

[A]

That's it. That's all I got.

[B]

So you were annoying her? Us.

[A]

Here's the thing. I would get in trouble at lunch, and me and my buddy Pate call him the leader. And we would go up to the library after getting kicked out of lunch, and we would, like, just hang out. There was spinny chairs just like this. We play Mario Kart. Run, like, drive around the library. We played. We didn't like the library. We played Jaws music, like, the. Were, like, following her around. She didn't like that, man. So she. She got tired of it and got her. Guess I got some paperwork done.

[B]

I feel like librarians are hard to.

[A]

Please, but I also feel like they're the easiest to please, too.

[B]

Well, you have. The only way to please them is to stay silent.

[A]

Really?

[B]

So if you're loud, you're just naturally going to piss them off?

[A]

True. Wow. I didn't even think about that. I was the. I was, like, the. The biggest predator for a librarian's piece.

[B]

Exactly.

[A]

Damn.

[B]

Because you seem like someone that's pretty active.

[A]

I was. I was very active, bro.

[B]

You need a lot of stimulation, right?

[A]

Dude, if I wasn't getting the stimulation, bro, I was. I think I might have been causing trouble, honestly.

[B]

You might have had ADHD or something?

[A]

Oh, no, no. I don't think it's a might. I definitely 100 have ADHD.

[B]

You never got diagnosed?

[A]

No, I got. I. I got diagnosed. I have. I definitely have adhd, but I never got medicine for it. My parents were just like, yo, like, you got to figure this out.

[B]

So honestly, respect.

[A]

Yeah, like, I appreciate it because, like, I didn't Want medication to. Because I've known kids that had adhd, and they were just like, they. When they were on medication, they just weren't the same. Like, they just weren't the same. Like. Like, kid.

[B]

I mean, yeah, it numbs you out, literally.

[A]

Like. But there was one kid. It was actually funny. His name. We'll call him Brady. We'll call him Brady just for the fun of it. He had adhd. ADHD too. And he was, like, the opposite of me. Like, I. I was not medicated, and I was always, like, happy. Go lucky. Just having fun. He was on medicine, and then he was, like, super angry. Like, beat people up all the time.

[B]

Damn.

[A]

Yeah. He was crazy, man.

[B]

Holy crap.

[A]

He threw a kid in the trash can, by the way. And let me tell you, this is why. It's. It's BS to me. I'm in the lunchroom, I get in trouble for just having a rap battle. This dude, just because he is better than me at sports, gets to throw kids in trash cans, and he doesn't get in trouble at all.

[B]

Was he the star player?

[A]

He was. He was. He was goaded. He was. He was dumb. Nice at sports.

[B]

A ball or football.

[A]

Everything, bro.

[B]

Damn.

[A]

Just a beast.

[B]

It was interesting to see the respect of certain sports in high school.

[A]

True. The. The hierarchy of sports.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah. I was a track athlete. We got no.

[A]

Oh, yeah. You don't get no love, bro.

[B]

Yeah, we get on.

[A]

But you're on the high. But you're the scale.

[B]

We're on the scale. We're above band students, but we're near the bottom of the sports scale.

[A]

Oh, I. I think you're way above band students, bro. Track and field, I mean, we're just.

[B]

Known as running around a track.

[A]

How fast were you, though?

[B]

I was a distance runner, so we got the least respect. Sprinters get more.

[A]

Yeah. Like sprint. Yeah. Sprinting is like, oh, I need to see who wins this race. But I don't really care about you running, like, five times around the track.

[B]

5K. No one's watching that.

[A]

No one's giving you flowers.

[B]

Exactly.

[A]

No one's coming to the game. No one's wearing your jersey for that.

[B]

Even. I respect sprinters more than distance runners. And I'm a distance runner.

[A]

It's a cold world we live in, bro. We gotta do. We gotta. We gotta change things up around here.

[B]

Yeah. I mean, the girls are attracted to what they are, you know, they don't.

[A]

Dude, the fee. The. The. The male gaze, it's. It. They're the female gays. Whatever. Whatever, gays, bro. It's just like, you just gotta rock what you're doing. I feel like that's what it is. I feel like whatever you're doing, you just gotta, like, really, like. Like, ball out. Like Noah Lyles, like, he's a. He's. He's a sprinter, though.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah. So not totally the same, but, like, he had. If he had more swag, he'd get a lot more. Like, he'd have a lot more aura, bro. Straight up. He just had more order because he was like. I already saw a clip of him. He was like. Like, Noah, what was the. What was the most, like, the best trash talk you ever did? And he was like, sometimes I look over to my right and I say, hey, buddy, I'm feeling fast today. All they can catch up, like, that's trash, bro. No one that does that.

[B]

That.

[A]

That brings down the track and field respect. Because then you have guys like LeBron that are just like. Like, they block it off the back, burn, like, get that out of here. And that's way more tough.

[B]

Yeah, I feel more tough.

[A]

Like, you can't compete, bro.

[B]

Are you a big trash talker on the court?

[A]

I let my game speak, bro. I don't like to talk before games. I really only stand. I really only speak up when I feel like there's an injust situation, bro. Like, when I feel like there's no. Like, I have to get involved.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And then it's like, yo, I gotta get involved, bro.

[B]

So when you were playing without shoes, did you speak up?

[A]

No, bro. I. Dude, Rod Waverly kicked me out of the event. They. They booted me from the venue. I don't. I'm not sure why. I'll have to speak to Cam Wilder about that personally, but, yeah, they kicked me out. So I threw my shoes into the crowd because I'm. I'm here for the kids, bro. Like, if I can't go out there and troll and, like, make someone laugh in the crowd, then I'm getting kicked out. Then I'll just give you some shoes then. I don't care.

[B]

And you just stayed silent while you were playing without shoes?

[A]

Stay quiet. I didn't say a word, bro. I was mic'd up in the video, and I didn't really talk that much. I didn't even talk, dude. There's not much to say when you're hooping without shoes on, bro. There's not much to say. There's not.

[B]

Yeah. I mean, you can't really say much, I guess.

[A]

No, not at all. So.

[B]

Because you can't jump as high, your shots off?

[A]

No. Oh, my God, my feet hurt so bad.

[B]

Running bone on. On floor, not good.

[A]

I mean, I don't. I'm not jumping too much, so, you know, I saved myself a little bit.

[B]

Can you dunk?

[A]

Dude, I can dunk on a smaller rim, a foot rim, but I have dunked before. I've dunked on 10 before.

[B]

No way.

[A]

Well, listen, okay, there was a court, my. It was my hometown court called Highland. And the court is like, it's like 9.5, low key. And I've dunked there.

[B]

Okay, so nine and a half. That's not bad.

[A]

And that's. And, and to be honest, like, that means a lot to me, bro.

[B]

Duncan feels good. Dude.

[A]

I'm sorry, Sean, because Duncan, to me, man, like, as a white man, it's my dream, bro. So I get emotional talking about, like I do, bro. I get emotional talking about dunking because, like, like, the air is different up there. You've dunked.

[B]

Everyone remembers their first dunk.

[A]

You've dunked.

[B]

I've dunked.

[A]

How does the air taste?

[B]

It's different.

[A]

It tastes different. And I've never. I've never tasted it. Maybe one day.

[B]

Ma', am, you gotta work on your vert, my man. I show Speed just did a vert test. He's jumping 40 inches, man.

[A]

Dude, I show Speed came to Vegas and he didn't check in with any of us. How are you not going to check in?

[B]

He did a lot in Vegas in that 24 hour period and he didn't.

[A]

Come on the podcast?

[B]

Nah.

[A]

Speed, bro. Darren.

[B]

Is that his name?

[A]

Darren. Darren Watkins.

[B]

Damn, Doc, why are you not.

[A]

Why are you not coming to the pod, bro?

[B]

One day. One day. One day he's on another level.

[A]

Day.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I don't know if I ever want to be on that level.

[B]

He different.

[A]

He is different.

[B]

When you got to move with that much security, it's almost like, do I want to be that famous?

[A]

I don't.

[B]

You don't want to be that famous? Level.

[A]

Kanye level. I would like to be Kanye level success, but I don't want the fame that comes with it, bro. I. I feel like that's a. I feel like that's a. It's an antithesis statement or like a oxymoron statement when you want, like, both, but you can't have it or something. Yeah, man. I want. I want the success and I want the. I want, like the respect on your name. Like, yo, that Grady Ferret guy, he cooked with that. But I don't want the, oh, that's Grady Farrick on the street. Let's go mop his ass for photos.

[B]

The fanboy kind of.

[A]

I'm not doing that, bro. I don't want that.

[B]

Yeah, I don't mind people stopping me. It's happening more often. But the fanboy vibe is weird to me.

[A]

I don't. My only thing is, I love supporters that come up and ask for photos and say catchphrases like I'm about whatever, cuz, DNA, whatever, whatever they want to say. Awesome. But yeah, man, when. When they're just looking at you and they're not saying they're like, you're bro. Imagine like you're just walking across the mall and you see a dude just like staring at you. Like you don't know if he's looking at you because maybe he thinks you're sweet and he's going to rob you or maybe he's watched your videos and is scared. As for a photo, there's just a lot of things going through your mind.

He's big time now. He's got Chipotle deals. He's got good for him, man. Yeah. Big companies. So shout out to him. Who would have thought you could do that off Tick Tock?

[A]

I didn't. When Tick Tock first got invented or, like, was dropped and like, I was like a freshman in high school and I was feeling like, yo, like, this could be the next. I swear to. Swear to goodness, I thought it was going to be huge. I knew it was going to be huge, but I was too scared to post my video.

[B]

Damn.

[A]

Too scared. I was too scared, bro. And I wish now. Now that I'm like, a content creator, like, officially, now that I'm like, literally a guy that is producing, like, content online. I wish I would have started when I was that. That young.

[B]

I was scared, too, to be honest, bro.

[A]

It's scary to post your stuff, bro.

[B]

You're still in school. People are judging you.

[A]

Oh, school is the worst. We were talking about the hierarchy of sports in school. No, no, no. The hierarchy of school in general is awful.

[B]

It was. Where were you on that hierarchy?

[A]

I was. I was he. Him, bro. I was him, kind of, sort of. I had my. I had my moments of him. Yeah. And then I had my moments of the jokester, the loser, you know, I just like everyone. I feel like, all right.

[B]

Es and flows.

[A]

Yeah. I feel like in high School. I definitely was. I, at least I try to be friends with. Majority anyone, Majority everybody. Like, I hung out with, obviously the kids on the basketball team and then the kids that stayed up all night playing video games. And, you know, those are, those are. I just, I went home a couple, like a couple weeks ago, said hello to those guys, you know. Still friends to this day. I feel like throughout my whole life, and I'm sure about this, about you, don't mean to speak for you, but feel like we surround ourselves with good people.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And that's like a talent within itself.

[B]

You have to. Yeah, it's important. I mean, that's why you live with the guys you live with now, right? You're trying to get to that top level.

[A]

Yeah. I live with YPK and Mecca and Armani and Connection Productions. He got dope. Let me tell you something about Connection Productions, right? This kid, he's from Baton Rouge. Like, he's from like, literally, like, like from nowhere, right? He comes here first week, he's like, yo, dude, I gotta do something crazy. He gets his own logo tatted on his wrist. So like, like he's like. Because he's a graphic designer.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

So every time he's with like a celebrity or someone, he just holds up his hand, he just puts his logo up, bro. It's so smart. And he will, dude. And what he wants to do is he wants to, like, digitize it to make it like a QR code that you can scan.

[B]

Oh, my God.

[A]

So like that anyone that like sees him can like, go into his, like, go to his website and like, like, like order, work or whatever.

[B]

That's savage. Yeah. QR code, a tattoo.

[A]

And it's huge, bro. Huge.

[B]

Oh, my God. I feel like that over time. You'd have to keep getting it done, though.

[A]

Oh, yeah. He needs a touch up for surely he need. Yo, Peyton, you gotta get a touch up, bro. You gotta get a touch up.

[B]

So you play in the league in la. You're playing out here in the runs. What's the main focus these days?

[A]

Main focus is definitely expanding the Grady brand. So playing basketball. I love basketball. Like I said, it's part of my life, but working on my music, working on my design. My girlfriend is a beautiful model. Justice Reality. She's going to be in LA Fashion Week this week. She got it. Yeah. She got invited to New York Fashion Week the other week. I, bro, one day I would like to design clothes for, you know, one day I, I, I, I'm surrounded with creative people. Like Mecca. He Wants to do clothes, collaborate with him. Like, just combine stuff, make ideas and just honestly just make. Just make as much cool stuff as possible. Whether that's a song, whether that's a piece of piece of clothing, whether that's. Whether that's a funny skit, comedy skit.

[B]

I don't know that maybe walk me through the fit right now.

[A]

Well, so I'm feeling like, I'm feeling the old feeling nostalgia today. So I got my old money fit on. I got, you know, turtleneck, true eye vitamins, chain man. Shout out the brand. I got my little sweater on because it's a little nippy out. And I got my. I got my slacks on. I got my slacks on right here.

[B]

You went all out.

[A]

Hey, man. And I got. And I got the lemon pepper. Where my lemon pepper suppers at, man?

[B]

Let's go.

[A]

Camera's at. But if y' all can see, I got them on.

[B]

So fashion's a big part of your life, dude.

[A]

I feel like. I feel like I'm not the best. Like the best. I'm not the best dress like, like YPK Ray, man, he comes out the house and he's trim. Yeah, he comes out the house and he's trim. He's got a, like a fresh fit on. But like, when you're like, like, the thing is like, I live with this dude, right? So I'm probably not going to out drip him just because he got more money than me. He's got more swag. And he's. And he's black. It's hard for a white dude to out swag a black.

[B]

I didn't want to say it, but.

[A]

And it's. And I will say it because I understand now, with that being said, if I can't be the best, then I'm either. I might as well just put on whatever the hell I want. Whatever. So honestly, that's. That's the. Explains the grandpa fit today. But as long as I got the chain on, bro, this is real rose gold, man.

[B]

Really?

[A]

This is my first brand. This is my first brand I ever worked with, bro. Like, ever. They worked with me when I had 500 followers on tick tock, bro.

[B]

Holy crap.

[A]

500 followers? No, dude, your grandma could get 500 followers on tick Tock and True. And they. And they took a chance on me and they got me a chain, bro. So, man, true eye vitamins, man. They're my damn respect, like, you know what I'm saying?

[B]

How much you add on Tick Tock.

[A]

Now I'm at like 300000 on tick tock and. But am I. I met 350k on IG.

[B]

Solid. You just hit 5 million views this week.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

On a video.

[A]

See that's the thing man, about these videos, man. You gotta be careful what you go famous for. Because in this situation of this video that you had just recently went viral. I'm just getting my dick grabbed. And that's. Is that good?

[B]

So you were just filming by chance and it.

[A]

Oh yeah. My boy Mecca. He's always clowning me. He's like. He's like the friend in high school that like something's embarrassing's happening to you. And he's just like. Has his phone out and he's like yo, dude. Like. You know what I'm saying? He's just trolling you. So he was just trolling me. And now that video is going. That goes. That going crazy. Damn.

[B]

You're gonna follow charges or what?

[A]

Listen bro. Are we gonna follow charges?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Because I don't know. Hey, I, I. Hey. Off camera stuff. Yeah. We both admitted that. We, we, we both had a problem.

[B]

Same guy at the Vegas airport hit me.

[A]

It was like shout out that guy. He's just doing his job, bro.

[B]

It was 5am it totally caught me off guard. My girl was watching. I felt a little embarrassed. I was soft, to be honest. So I don't know what.

[A]

That's good at least. Yeah.

[B]

It could have been weirder.

[A]

Could have been weird. Imagine pop popping something there.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Harrison Man. Gotta control that. Gotta control your brain, fellas.

[B]

Maybe I'll give him the benefit of the dial. Maybe one day he caught someone hiding something there. So he double checks.

[A]

Yeah. Like one day he caught like there was some dude had a huge bomb and he saved the world. So now every time that something alerts he just makes sure to make sure that there's not a bomb in there.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I didn't have a bomb in there.

[B]

Yeah. I didn't have.

[A]

No, I didn't have.

[B]

Was that your most viral video?

[A]

No.

[B]

No.

[A]

My most viral video probably right now is about whatever cuz. Just like Cam Wilder yet again. Me. Cam. Dude, I love Cam Wilder, bro. I, I got a lot of respect for that dude. But I don't know. He's just been moving a little funny recently with me, man. He, you know.

[B]

Did he get too big time for you?

[A]

I think. I think something happened along the line with Cam where you know, the, you know, he just. He, he's just getting too big for his bridges. But I'd be too big for My bridges too. If I was, if I was balling out the way he's balling out. He's balling like he's balling out. He, he. He's balling out so much. Like, I don't think people understand this about basketball. AAU is not that lucrative. Aau. AAU is a pretty good business. But he has not only found his way into that lane, but he's now, he's changed the business. He's pioneered a new path for a bunch of other creators that want to do aau and he's just made impact to the basketball community and culture that I guess he deserves to be a little big for his bridge.

[B]

Yeah, I guess when you revolutionize a whole industry, you get a little.

[A]

You get a little big. But no, I'm just, I'm just a little salty because he kicked me out, man. But I get it though. He doesn't. I don't think he likes the whatever cuz. I don't think he likes whatever cuz. I know D. Adrian Harden liked it. That was cool. He co signed it and then Theo Von co signed the whatever cuz stuff. So yeah, anytime you get like those really big names that had that much respect to like say, hey, this was funny, you know, you're on the right path to, to what you want to do in life.

[B]

I feel like, what did he do for aau? I haven't been following it.

[A]

Cam Wilder, dude. I mean, he's just giving kids so much opportunity and exposure to not only like play at the next level, but to make a personal brand for yourself. Like, dude, you play a Rod Wave elite and you're a three star athlete. You not only might get a college interest, but you might only get some nil sponsorships. You can now do something for your family that might not have been done. He's just giving. He's just giving another option, bro. And that's something that I like. He's. Cam's inspired me because I'm partnering with this guy. He works with this brand called athlete narrative. I don't know how much you know about NCAA sports recruitment, but it's a athlete narrative is like an alternative to that. So it's going to be like a social media platform for athletes that want to go play college or play professionally or play a. Some type of sport that could. Could be basketball, could be football, could be anything. Just play at that next level competitively. And we're just making it like an easier, an easier way to get to that level far. Yeah. So I'm Stoked for that. I'll have my little icon in the app that you can download and be like, grady will help you out. Trying to get recruited, man.

[B]

Scatter.

[A]

Because that's really what I'm here for. I realized like, bro, like, like making content and stuff's cool, but you got to have purpose. And I feel like my purpose is just trying to like help, like just make kids lives better. Like, just like, yeah, if I can make you laugh, I can. If I can make you smile. If I could help you. If I could put you on game to like do what you want to do. Like even this, like doing like a podcast. Like if I were like, bro, putting me on a podcast. That's fire, bro. Now I have a chance to talk.

[B]

And yeah, this is your first one, right?

[A]

It's my first ever podcast, bro.

[B]

Crazy.

[A]

First ever podcast.

[B]

Yeah. Because I was preparing for this episode and I go on YouTube. Look up Grady pods.

[A]

Never, bro.

[B]

First one you definitely been offered though. You turn them down.

[A]

Swear to goodness, bro. You're the only one, dude. I do. Nobody listen. I. The only reason I was like, Jack, like, saying, yo, Trev. I mean like, bro, I'm not sponsored by another brand. I'm not sponsored by anybody else. I don't do any collaborations. All I do is hang out with Mecca Ray, my girlfriend, and make videos and just. Just hang out, bro.

[B]

Damn. I'm surprised you get tens of millions of views.

[A]

I know, I'm underground. I feel like I'm like the. I'm like ken Carson on SoundCloud before PlayBoi Cardi signed him to Opium. Yes.

[B]

Damn, what a good example, right?

[A]

Shout out Ken Carson, by the way. Saddle Ken.

[B]

Shout out to Ken.

[A]

Shout out.

[B]

I got a list of five names here, okay? I want to. Wanna see if you played them one on one. Who do you think would win?

[A]

Okay, cool. I like this.

[B]

So let's start with. We'll start with an easier one because there's some good people on this list. Not so Air Jordan.

[A]

Oh, that's my guy. Cooking him, frying him. You think he's too skinny, man. Love him though. He's a great father. Great father, great husband, great man. Cooking him one on one. I'm sorry, Jordan.

[B]

Julian Newman.

[A]

Julian Newman. Las Vegas Local love. Julian Newman. Too short. Sorry, Jew. Hey, but he can box, so I can't. I can't talk too much. He might piece me up.

[B]

So you can box.

[A]

Oh, Julian Newman can. Julian Newman has hands. People talk. They don't understand that. Like he could really do some damage. To you, bro.

[B]

No wonder you'd be getting in some fights. Yeah, man.

[A]

Bro, he just beat Gois at the Aiden Ross boxing event. Shout out Aiden Ross.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

If Aiden Ross wants to sponsor a boxing match between me and Sean Kelly, that we can make that happen. I'll. I'll have to cut weight.

[B]

But, you know, Geo wise, that was my next person.

[A]

Geo wise, I'm sorry. I love Geo. I just played with him last week. I was playing barefoot.

[B]

It's cook.

[A]

I'm cooking Geo.

[B]

He could dribble though, right?

[A]

That's about it.

[B]

So let's get a little tougher now. Caitlyn Clark.

[A]

Caitlin Clark. I love my women Hoopers. I love my women Hoopers. I love the WNBI support everything they do. I love how they're grinding. I love Angel Reese. Caitlin Clark. I'm sorry, but you're getting.

[B]

You think you could actually beat her, dude?

[A]

Cause I'm a man. Like, I'm physically stronger. Like, bro, I'm like, backing her down. And I'm not a trash, man. I can really shoot the basketball sometimes. Maybe occasionally. And maybe occasionally that day, I have a good day. So Kaylin Clark, I'm picking. I'm picking me, bro. I love Kaylin Clark, though.

[B]

Okay, what about a bigger woman, like Angel Reese?

[A]

Who? Big mama Angel Reese, man. Dude, she wants it bad, though. Like I say, killing Clark, I'm OB Because I don't think she cares that much. I think injuries cares that much.

[B]

She's got a chip on her shoulder.

[A]

She does. I got me over Angel Reese, bro.

[B]

Close game.

[A]

Close game, though. It's like, that's pay per view. That's not free on YouTube. That's like Devonte Free gets it up on Next Chapter, bro.

[B]

If you're watching this, angel, let us know. We'll set it up.

[A]

Angel, I really don't want the smoke. I'm really not about that. You got it. Keep working, Angel.

[B]

I don't want it now. The king of ones at the moment, mk. You think you could take mk?

[A]

Hey, MK wants that work, bro. He knows where to find me.

[B]

That'd be a good one.

[A]

I would love that. I would fry him, bro, because here's the thing. I feel like mk, he's very talented, but he just plays basketball, like, not the right way. And I just. I have a lot more respect for the game of basketball than he does. And yeah, man, I. I would. I really. I would really like to put that guy in his place.

[B]

You know, he fouls too much.

[A]

Yeah, he follows too much. He's disrespectful. He's got all these fans coming out to his game, supporting him, and. And then. And he has the nerve to disrespect them and treat them all types of ways, man. That's not cool, man. Like, I would if I. If I knew all those folks would come. Rob, bringing water bottles out. No, I'm signing, I'm taking pictures.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I'm. I'm. I'm doing something cool. I'm bring. I'm giving them true. Right. Vitamin supplements. I'm doing something to the. Like to. For the fans, and he's just disrespectful, bro.

[B]

Well, in two weeks, I' ma set that up for you.

[A]

Really?

[B]

Yeah. He'll be in Vegas in two weeks, so by the time this airs, I think you guys will have already played. Okay, mk, what's your score prediction? Because he plays to five.

[A]

I think he gets that. I think. I think five.

[B]

He gets a dunk on you.

[A]

I think it's. I. Well, I think he gets a dunk on me. Five, one. I think it's that dunk gets the crowd all going. And then it goes from, like, you.

[B]

Start lighting it up, like, are you serious, bro?

[A]

You know what I'm saying? Like, it gets serious. So I've seen you get hot.

[B]

I've seen you get hot out there.

[A]

I've seen you get hot out there, man.

[B]

Rarely, but, yeah, it'll happen, dude. Last night, I had a good game.

[A]

Well, how many points you have?

[B]

I went 5 for 5, 10 points.

[A]

Oh, you're lying.

[B]

No, I swear to God. Yeah, lifetime tracks the stat.

[A]

Let me see your arm, bro.

[B]

Yeah, I got scratched on a rebound, and the guy said he didn't follow me. That's the funny part. When you have blood and they're like, yeah, I didn't touch her, bro.

[A]

Chuck Bull.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Yo, what are you talking about? What are you talking about right now, bro? Yeah, literally.

[B]

All right. How many points could you score in an NBA game?

[A]

I think I could score six. I think I could score six in any environment in the world. I feel like my game doesn't change. I feel like I'm so comfortable within myself in my game that I'm just running corner if defense slips off. Because realistically, anyone could score in the NBA. There's this, like, narrative that, like, the NBA is impossible to score on. Like, oh, these guys are too good. These guys are extremely talented. But, dude, they don't play that hard of defense.

[B]

Not in the regular season.

[A]

Yeah, not the regular season, bro. If you, if you subbed in Joe Schmo that from LA Fitness, that can shoot decently, there's a chance that if you subbed him in the game and just said, hey, run to the corner, I'm gonna kick you this. I'm gonna kick out and shoot it. All right. Then he might hit it.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

If any. Hey, by the way, if any other NBA teams are listening that want to try out that theory with me, I am. I'm open for a 10 day contract.

[B]

You should film at a tryout, see how many points you can score.

[A]

I filmed at a Phoenix Sunstrom before me and Mecca did. They were looking into us.

[B]

Did you score?

[A]

Yeah, man, we do. We. We played, we scrimmaged, we shot around, we did a lot of stuff. And at the end of the day, like, they were really thinking about signing Mecca. Mecca actually is a. Like Mecca and Ray literally have gotten offered by the G League. By the NBA? Yeah, they've been offered by the NBA G League to play. They've been offered by pro teams to play. These guys are legit basketball players, man. Like, they, like, they're. They're real Hoopers. I. If I. I just feel like if content wasn't there, if content didn't happen, like, who knows where they could be professional.

[B]

They're probably making more off Content, to be honest. Yeah, right. Like the. Even international, they're not paying anything crazy these days.

[A]

No. I might go playing Russia, though.

[B]

The bag's nice.

[A]

I'm like, dude, my boy Ty Glover.

[B]

I know Ty.

[A]

Yep. He plays in Russia and he's like, yo, Grady, like, I see potential in you. Like, let's go hoop in Russia. And I'm gonna. And I'm gonna get my body right. I'm gonna get my head right. I'm gonna get everything right.

[B]

Learn some Russian, dude.

[A]

I'm gonna be an ambassador for Russia, bro. I'm gonna be an American ambassador and I'm gonna bring. I'm gonna create world peace and bring everyone. Because that's what basketball is, bro. Basketball is literally the great peacemaker. No other sport in the world do you have Crips and Bloods playing together on the same court. You don't have it like that. Listen, it's funny, but it's. Seriously, bro. The Drew League. I love the Drew League. Shout out to Drew League. Shout out, smiley. Shout out the commissioner. Basketball is. It's the only thing that, like, you could literally like, bro, you could be. You could be at each other's throat. And then next week you're Playing against each other or you're on the same team and you're just like. And you're just treating people like human beings, bro. And you're not treating nobody like the color of what they jack or what their political or religious background is. And that's why basketball is great. Because between that. Between those four lines, bro, it's just.

[B]

Hoops, I feel, bro. That's why.

[A]

That's why me and you get to play basketball, bro. And, like, get to have fun, bro. And like, it's all. And nobody is like. But you know what? People still do look at us a little way, like, Asian and white, dude. They're like, we're not giving him the ball.

[B]

I still get picked last.

[A]

Yeah, even.

[B]

Even six.

[A]

Hold on, let me rephrase. You have to be good or good blood in order to get the ball, though, and actually play. So you gotta be nice. But. But my point still stands. True. You know, it's the. It's the culture breaker.

[B]

You ever play street ball and you're like, this is sketchy.

[A]

Yeah, 100. All the time. All the time.

[B]

Where at? In Vegas. Or not.

[A]

I played in Buffalo. I'm from Buffalo, New York. Goldil Shout out the Buffalo Bills. They're running sketchy out there in Buffalo. It gets shiesty, bro. It gets feisty, bro. If you know, bro. If you know. If you know, you know, bro. Buffalo. No, I'm telling you, Buffalo is, bro. It's like a bro. We. We. We. We got murders, bro. We. We got. We. I think we lead. I'm talking, like, it's stats. Like, we lead the league in murders. Nah, but like, nah, we don't lead the league, but we're like top 10.

[B]

Though, like, in Buffalo.

[A]

Yeah, dude, but this is the craziest thing about Buffalo, right? Buffalo has its crime, as every city does, but when the Buffalo Bills win a game. We went on Sunday, we beat the Miami Dolphins, crime rate drops down 50%. When the Buffalo Bills win. When the Buffalo Bills win, dude. Dude, people stop stealing. People stop looting. People stop beating each other up. People stop a lot of shit because they're so happy that Josh Allen just won us the fucking game, dude. Yeah, Buffalo, dude.

[B]

Bill's mafia.

[A]

Bill's Mafia, bro.

[B]

Are you part of that?

[A]

Yes, I'm part of the Bill's mafia. Hell yes, bro. Hell yes, Sean.

[B]

I've seen videos of it.

[A]

Dude, we're winning the Super Bowl. I like, it's. I love. I love the Raiders, but it's Bill.

[B]

Raiders are ass, dude. Let's be Honest. But Bills, they always make it far. Bills are like that. They always make the playoffs.

[A]

Hey, Josh Allen, man, if you know.

[B]

You know he's him.

[A]

He's him. He's him. He's him, bro. He's that guy.

[B]

What'd you think of the Al Horford trade to the Warriors?

[A]

Al Horford trade to the Warriors. I actually didn't hear about that.

[B]

He's 39. He's going to be their starting center.

[A]

L. Horford to the Warriors. I think the warriors are a trash organization ever since they got rid of Jordan Pool. So I really don't give a damn what they do.

[B]

They seem like they never were as.

[A]

Good dude because they got. Because Draymond Green apparently, like, I don't know what he's got going on there. He might. He might have said that he'll punch everyone in the organization's face if they don't do what they want. But this. If I'm Curry, I'm pissed at Draymond because it's like, I feel like you screwed up my chances at another championship.

[B]

Hey, man, I think if they kept pool, they might have won another chip or two.

[A]

Oh, yeah. Jordan Poole's dumb nice, bro. That's the OG baddie effect.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

You know what I'm saying? He's dumb nice.

[B]

Yeah. You think Braun gets another one?

[A]

I know LeBron gets another one. It's in his contract. Yeah, it's in his contract. He's getting two more. LeBron has to win two more. And it's like. Because like, all these guys, they have contracts, right? So boom, like you'll have a dude like, okay, this guy's gonna be a superstar. We're assigned to a max contract. In that max contract, he is entitled to one NBA championship of a shoe deal and multi millions of dollars. However, in the process, he has to get publicly made fun of in the media and scrutinized and, you know, stuff like that. It's all. It's all media based, all business, you know what I'm saying?

[B]

You think it's scripted? I know it's like WWE 100.

[A]

Everything's scripted. Anything that. Bro, anything that makes quantillions of bajillions of quandillions of dollars is scripted. I don't know if people understand this, at least at some. It's regulated. Yeah, it's regulated.

[B]

I mean, ever since sports betting became legal, I feel like there's so much money involved in sports now. Dude, listen, bro, you could bet on the Gatorade color, you could bet on points in the first quarter, you could bet on anything.

[A]

Just. Where's. Where's this the true love of the game? Where's the. Hey, I don't need to put money on it. I just love the game. That's dead.

[B]

That's dead. That's sad. If people are watching, they're betting these days.

[A]

Yeah, bro. I don't bet on the Buffalo Bills, bro. I just. Because I. I love the Buffalo Bills too much. I love them too much, bro. I don't bet.

[B]

You think Kawhi Lennon's gonna have a.

[A]

Good season if he plays, man, if he's healthy. You know, if he's healthy, he'll. He's great.

[B]

LeBron or MJ?

[A]

LeBron James. LeBron Ramon. James.

[B]

You think he's better?

[A]

I know he's better. I'm. Bro, come on. I saw a clip the other day. I don't know if we can pull up clips, but Michael Jordan does this, like, over the. Like over the. To the basket, other side, reverse layup. Then the next clip is Grayson Allen doing the same thing. I have never seen Grayson ALLEN do anything LeBron James has done except maybe shoot a wide open. Three facts.

[B]

He does have a nice three these days.

[A]

Grayson. Yeah, yeah, it's from Duke, bro.

[B]

Yeah, no, he. He turned into a sniper, though.

[A]

See, that's what these journey guys. I'm like a. Grayson Allen's like a max level Grady. I consider a lot of these people Grady variants. So, like, Grayson Allen, Grady variant. Who else is a Grady?

[B]

Jimmer for that.

[A]

Jimmer for that. Any white boy. Honestly, I claim all white boys with brown hair as Grady variants. So. Might be. Might be messed up.

[B]

You see a lot of similarities.

[A]

Dude, I just did a skit with a kid that looked just like me, and I made it, like, point of view. You meet your younger self. His name was Grady. His name was Grady Richards, and me and him made a skit, and it was just like, crazy because, like, bro, I see kids like this. I see humans that, like. Like, we have a joke with me, Mecca and Ray, that, like, every person looks like me and I'm like, the most basic white person ever in the world.

[B]

Do you feel that way, dude, right.

[A]

Now with the outfit I'm wearing? I do. I feel like a very basic white man right now.

[B]

Sucks.

[A]

Does. And that's something I have to wake up out of bed with every day. I wake up every day and I look in the mirror and I know I'm a white person. I'm a basic white person.

[B]

So how do you differentiate yourself?

[A]

I don't know. I might. Might dye my hair or something.

[B]

Dye it blue?

[A]

Yeah, maybe dye blue. Give me some diversity.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

You know.

[B]

You ever do anything like that before? No.

[A]

I'm pretty. I'm pretty solid. I don't have earrings. I don't got anything.

[B]

I got hats.

[A]

I got. I got two tats. I got tats on my wrist. I got testameric, so. It's Isaiah 5417. It's no weapon formed against you shall prosper. Just a little Bible verse that my mom says to me every day, like, without fail. Like, wake up in the morning, get ready for school, or go. Go into school. All right, Grady, have a good day. Remember, no weapon for me shall prosper. Just a little reminder that, like, no matter what evil or what, you know what, things go my way or come at me, that it doesn't matter to me, and I'm. I'm protected by. By God, so.

[B]

Damn. I didn't know you had a little Christian side to you. Okay.

[A]

Of course, bro. You can't get this, bro. Listen, you can't have. You can't get to where I'm at and, you know, act and, like, have, like, the mental that I have without being, you know, without. Without. Without. Without God. You know what I'm saying? At least in my opinion.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

You know, everyone else is different, but that. That's. That's what. That's what works for me.

[B]

Do you ever feel like you're misunderstood sometimes?

[A]

No, dude, because I put out exactly what I want. I put out exactly. I have no one telling me what to put out. I put out what I want people to view me as, so I have no complaints.

[B]

Do you think it's. Do you feel like you're putting on a Persona sometimes, though?

[A]

Never. I'm always genuinely myself, like. Like I don't mind, like, when I, like, airball a shot. That's not me pulling out a character. I really stink. I really airballed that three, so I know. I never want people to think, oh, is you trolling? Nah, guys, it's. It's that. I'm sorry. It's like that.

[B]

You're still air balling.

[A]

Still airballing, dude, it's not like a joke, man. It's real. It's real real. It's real, real, real.

[B]

You're putting on reps, though. I'm surprised, dude.

[A]

I'm always gonna stop because I rather go. I rather go 1 for 100 because that means I never stop shooting. 1 for 100 because I never stop Shooting. I'm never going to be the dude that goes over 10. I feel I'm making one before I leave the gym. Every time. Every time. Sean Kelly. You watch the movie Him. You know the movie him that just came out?

[B]

Who is that by Jordan Peele?

[A]

It's by Jordan.

[B]

I didn't see it yet.

[A]

Hey, man, if you know, you know. That's. That's all I'm gonna say.

[B]

Yeah, I want to watch that one.

[A]

It's scary, bro. It's really scary. I'm not even gonna get into it because I'm so scared of it. That's how scared I am of it.

[B]

It's not scary.

[A]

It's that scary. If you know, you know anyone. Hey, cuz. Hey, anyone that watches the movie, bro, just know that shit's. That shit's probably happened.

[B]

Damn.

[A]

At least maybe not. Not probably not with LeBron because LeBron's. LeBron's a goat. LeBron works really hard. LeBron's genuinely the goat. Like, LeBron genuinely, like, could run for president of the United States and get elected. That's how much the goat is.

[B]

He could. On the Democratic side right now.

[A]

You might get some Republicans to vote for LeBron.

[B]

Damn.

[A]

That's how much. That's how good he is at basketball. Basketball is the great culture changer. You could have Crips and Bloods. You could have Republicans and Democrats. You could have everyone and their mama like you. If you can ball out, bro. That's facts.

[B]

It's a worldwide sport.

[A]

That's the hierarchy of school. First thing we talked about, hierarchy of sports. If you're the best, I think, number one, point. I think star point guard is better or like, has more power than high school quarterback. Damn.

[B]

Maybe. Really?

[A]

Depends.

[B]

I would say, yeah, quarterback and starting point guard are maybe. Yeah, point. Which position you think gets the most respect in basketball?

[A]

Dude, I think point guard. Point guard, dude. Cuz, like, quarterback is swag. You have swag. But, like, bro, there's nothing better than Crossbow.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Over, bro. Like, in the crowd, bro. And then, like, the mixtapes. But Josh Allen is really cool. Like, I got, like, I say all that to say that Josh Allen might be the coolest athlete in sports right now.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, he's that guy. For sure.

[A]

He's that guy right now.

[B]

Steph Curry or Kobe?

[A]

Steph Curry. Wow.

[B]

Instant answer.

[A]

Yeah, I love. Rest in Peace, Kobe Bryant. Love you, Kobe Bryant. But it is Stephen Curry.

[B]

Why?

[A]

Because, like, people talk about, like, the mama mentality, but people don't understand, like, the Curry mentality. Like, the Korean mentality. I. Bro, like, I think Curry works harder than Kobe. Yeah, I think Curry works harder than Kobe. Like, dude, like, because Kobe, like, I get it. Like, that's the brand and that's the guy. But Curry, bro, works his ass off, bro. His ass off. So I got Curry over Kobe.

[B]

Okay, you got Curry as the best point guard line.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Over Magic, too.

[A]

Yeah. Curry's on my Mount Rushmore. It goes like LeBron Curry, Kevin Durant, and then, I don't know, throwing, like, Shaq or something.

[B]

No, mj.

[A]

Nah.

[B]

Holy.

[A]

Not throwing Shack.

[B]

Wow.

[A]

Oh, God, bro. Just on my Mount Rushmore.

[B]

Why do you got.

[A]

No, I'm lying. I'm lying. I'm lying. I'm just. I'm just. I'm just a LeBron Glazer, man. I'm just a LeBron Glazer. I got MJ. I'm gonna go. MJ. LeBron Curry chat Katie.

[B]

KD.

[A]

Dude, Katie's so good. He's seven foot tall, and he could shoot from anywhere, bro.

[B]

It's unguardable.

[A]

He's unguardable. And he was the first to do it. Like, he's the first. Like, no one else was doing it like him. Yeah, now. Now. I mean, now we got guys out the. Out the pipe just coming out that are 6, 7.

[B]

We got WEMBY now.

[A]

Yeah. WEMBY shooting from 7, 7, 6. 7K is 7, 6. Shooting from 35ft out. What the hell?

[B]

That's a Yao Ming height with a jump shot.

[A]

Yeah, bro, we're living. We're living in the crazy.

[B]

Yeah, that's a Chico. I feel like making the NBA now because everyone's just breeding, breeding. Like, they're selecting tall.

[A]

Oh, yeah. Yeah. Oh, these kids. Oh, I. This is the thing. This is why, like I said with Cam Wilder and AAU stuff, all this a stuff, it is so hard to like, to actually make it to a point where you're making a lot of money. Like, dude, these kids are getting hand picked when they're like, six, seven, you know what I'm saying? Like, literally, like, the ball is life overtime. All these, like, youth groups, like, they're recording and, like, they're almost like. They're they're like. They're like, making almost, like, essentially industry plans, but basketball players. So unless you're like. Unless you're, like, legitimately, like, a five, four star recruit, you're not getting scouted.

[B]

You're cooked.

[A]

You're cooked, bro. It's so hard. It's monopolized.

[B]

They've monopolized at least they got nil these days. All right.

[A]

Yes. That is a savior. And that's what I'm here for.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

They didn't have for me to get you a bag.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I'm saying.

[B]

How old are you, Sean? I'm 28.

[A]

You play college sports?

[B]

No.

[A]

So you got four years eligibility.

[B]

I still do. Yeah.

[A]

Age limit on it. Dude, it don't matter.

[B]

You could be 40. Yeah.

[A]

Ever since. Ever since COVID you got 30 year olds playing college?

[B]

No way.

[A]

Hell yes.

[B]

Wow.

[A]

Yes. And that makes another thing. If you're like an 18 year old kid about to go in your freshman year of high school or college, you're going to be playing against like 25 year olds on your team. It's not fair.

[B]

That's wild. Yeah. Because you're still growing.

[A]

You're still growing and you got a grown men that are paying for their wife and kids and family. It's not fair, bro. Different level.

[B]

Was that always your goal to play pro ball?

[A]

Still is the goal to play pro ball. I'm going to Russia.

[B]

Pack your bags.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I'm cold out there, bro.

[A]

I'm saying, what's up the Dennis Rodman and Putin, bro.

[B]

Rodman's out there, huh?

[A]

Hell yeah.

[B]

Yeah. Money out there in North Korea too.

[A]

Yeah, he's everywhere, bro.

[B]

That's an interesting.

[A]

I wouldn't go over there though. I'll probably stay clear there. Unless the money's right. They offer me 2500. 2500,000 to go play in North 2500-0002-5025-0000.

[B]

That's enough for you to chill.

[A]

I'll go north. I'll go to North Korea and play basketball.

[B]

Damn. I'll go.

[A]

I'll go.

[B]

You heard it here guys. 250.

[A]

Hey man, Kim Jong, you want to send a 10 day over?

[B]

You'd be the tallest one over there.

[A]

I would be elite.

[B]

You're pretty tall.

[A]

I'm like. Yeah, I'm like six. Six, two. It's not about six two. Honestly. Six three in a pair of LeBrons.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah. You wear the insoles to victory. Yeah, I was thinking about buying them.

[A]

Yo, I don't even want to talk about them, bro.

[B]

Well, it's like. Don't you.

[A]

Dude, they don't even mess with me, so.

[B]

Damn.

[A]

That's why I met. Listen, I only mess with Troy vitamins, bro. This is only brand, bro. Because like it's like personal. Like I don't even look at them as like a brand. Look at them as, like, a human being. Like, they really, like, took a chance on the bro. They've helped me out so much, bro. Like, you see Justice's bag over there, man?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

That's true height, bro. That's true vitamins, bro. Bro, shout out true height.

[B]

It's not bad at all. We'll link them in the video, man.

[A]

Link them, bro.

[B]

Shout them out.

[A]

You know what I'm saying? They're the goats. Like, we'll get you tapped in with them, too, because they'll get you. They like, bro, I'm telling you, they're good people over there.

[B]

I wouldn't mind a chain. A little digital source flower chain. Exactly, bro. Well, dude, it's been fun. We're gonna ball with MK in a few weeks. Anything else you want to close off with here?

[A]

Definitely want to say I've been working really hard, me and the guys on music. We've been grinding, we've been making. Making hella songs. Really trying our best. We want to make a generational classic. Want to make a hood hood banger. Want to win a Grammy, want to do a bunch of things. So if you have time today, maybe go stream our music. YPK Ray, Mecca Connection, jkd, kozart, He's a beast. And then Green Grady Farrick on my too. We're all making music, trying to make the world a better place. One song at a time.
