Transcript

Speaker 1 You know, 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.

Speaker 1 We're gonna sign him to a max contract. In that max contract, he is entitled to one NBA championship of a shoe deal and multi-millions of dollars.

Speaker 1 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 it's like WWE, 100%. Everything's scripted.

Speaker 1 Anything that makes quantillions of bajillions of quantillions of dollars is scripted.

Speaker 1 Okay, guys, we got a Vegas local on today. We got Grady.
I've played some hoots with him a few times, right? Yes, sir. Yeah, it's good to see you in a podcast setting.

Speaker 1 You've been balling a lot lately? You know, I've been balling here and there. Try to keep my body right.
You know, I don't want to just show up one day and not be able to shoot the same.

Speaker 1 You know, I don't want to do that. That's what you're known for, shooting.
I mean, and that's what pays the bills.

Speaker 1 Like, my jump shot, like, people in high school would never say this, but Grady Farrick, your jump shot pays the bills.

Speaker 1 So I'm just happy to be here, man. Honestly, I'm just happy.
I'm just stoked. Yeah, thanks for coming on, man.
You've been hooping for a while, though, like your whole life.

Speaker 1 I've been hooping since I was in fifth grade, man. I've been hoping since I'm in fifth grade, bleeding.

Speaker 1 Yeah, so it's in my DNA, bro. You got to a good level.
I looked you up. You played in high school, right? I played in high school.
My high school team won the Section 6 championship during COVID.

Speaker 1 Like, we would have gone to States and probably won, but just COVID shut it down. Was that a private school or public? Public.
Oh, so we were playing against everybody. Playing against everybody.

Speaker 1 And were you a starter?

Speaker 1 No comments?

Speaker 1 I started occasionally. Okay.
You know, when I wasn't in trouble or when I wasn't,

Speaker 1 you know,

Speaker 1 not showing up to practice or whatever the case may be. Oh, so you were a little bit of a troublemaker.
I try to, dude, I feel like I was never a troublemaker, but trouble was just drawn to me, bro.

Speaker 1 I feel like trouble was just like...

Speaker 1 Like anytime like I was just having fun every the whole school could be having fun, but they're gonna be like yo Grady

Speaker 1 Let's make let's make a scapegoat out of you and get you in trouble. And that happened a lot, honestly.
You were the fall guy? Always the fall guy. Always the fall guy.

Speaker 1 And it never made sense to me, bro. It wasn't fair.
So you didn't speak up for yourself. Bro, you know what? I should have.

Speaker 1 I should have spoken up more when I younger Grady should have been like, yo, get all them too.

Speaker 1 They're all screwing off, you know? What's the worst thing you did? I pulled a fire alarm when I was in high school. You pulled a fire alarm? Got suspended for five days.

Speaker 1 I had to pass a drug test to get back into school. Oh, you're crazy.
Yeah. I never did anything like that.
I got a restraining order from the librarian. Damn.
That's it.

Speaker 1 That's all i got so you were annoying her ass here's the thing uh i would get in trouble at lunch and me and my buddy pate uh calling the leader and we would go up to the library uh after getting kicked out of lunch and we would like just hang out there was spinny chairs just like this we'd play mario kart run her like drive around the library uh we played we didn't like the library we played jaws music like the bona

Speaker 1 we're like following her around uh she didn't like that man so she had she got tired of it and uh

Speaker 1 got her her got some paperwork done i feel like librarians are hard to please

Speaker 1 but i also feel like they're the easiest to please too well you have the only way to please them is to stay silent really so if you're loud you're just naturally gonna piss them off true wow i didn't even think about that i was the

Speaker 1 i was like the the biggest predator for a librarian's piece exactly damn because you you seem like someone that's pretty active i was i was very active bro you need a lot of stimulation right dude if i wasn't getting the stimulation bro I was, I think I might have been causing trouble, honestly.

Speaker 1 You might have had ADHD or something. Oh, no, no, I don't think it's a might.
I definitely 100% have ADHD. You never got diagnosed? No,

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Honestly, respect. Yeah, like, I appreciate it.
Cause like, I didn't want medication to, because I've known kids that had ADHD and they were just like,

Speaker 1 when they were on medication, they just weren't the same. Like, they just weren't the same, like, like, kid.
I mean, yeah, it numbs you out. Literally, like, um, but there was one kid.

Speaker 1 It was actually funny. Um,

Speaker 1 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,

Speaker 1 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.
Damn. Yeah, he was crazy, man.

Speaker 1 Holy crap. He threw a kid in the trash can, by the way.
Damn. And let me tell you, this is why it's BS to me.
I'm in the lunchroom.

Speaker 1 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.
Was he the star player?

Speaker 1 He was. He was, he was goaded.
He was, he was dumb nice at sports. At ball or football? Everything, bro.
Damn. Jesus beast.
It was interesting to see the respect of certain sports in high school.

Speaker 1 True. The hierarchy of sports.
Yeah. Yeah, I was a track athlete.
We got no respect. Oh, yeah, you don't get no love, bro.
Yeah, we get shit on it.

Speaker 1 But you're on the scale. We're on the scale.
we're above band students but we're near the bottom of the sports scale oh i i think you're way above band students bro track and field

Speaker 1 i mean we're just known as running around a track how fast were you though i was a distance runner so we got the least respect sprinters get more yeah like spritz yeah sprint day 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 5k no one's watching that no one's giving you flowers exactly no one's coming to the game no one's wearing your jersey for that even i respect sprinters more than distance runners and i'm a distance runner it's a cold world we we live in, bro.

Speaker 1 We gotta do, we gotta, we gotta change things up around here. Yeah, I mean, the girls are attracted to what they are,

Speaker 1 um, you know, they don't, dude. The feet, the, the, uh, the male gaze, um,

Speaker 1 it's it or the female gaze, whatever, whatever gaze, bro, it's just like, um, you just gotta rock what you're doing. I feel like that's what it is.

Speaker 1 I feel like whatever you're doing, you just gotta, like,

Speaker 1 really, like, like, ball out. Like, Noah Lyles, like, he's a, he's a, he's a sprinter, though.
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 So, not totally the same, but like, he has, 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 aura because he was like i saw a clip of him he was like like noah what was the what was the most uh 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 hopefully can catch up like that's trash bro no one that does that that 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 backboard and and like get that shit out of here and that's way more tough yeah I feel way more tough like you can't compete bro are you a big trash hawker on the court i let my game speak bro i don't like to talk before games um 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 yeah and then it's like yo i gotta get involved bro so when you were playing without shoes did you speak up uh no bro i dude rod waiver leak kicked me out of the event they they booted me from the venue i don't i'm not sure why.

Speaker 1 I'll have to speak to Cam Wilder about that personally.

Speaker 1 But yeah, they kicked me out. So I threw my shoes into the crowd because I'm here for the kids, bro.

Speaker 1 Like, if I can't go out there and troll and make someone laugh in the crowd, then I'm getting kicked out. Then I'll just give you some shoes.

Speaker 1 I don't care. And you just stayed silent while you were playing without shoes? 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.
Damn.

Speaker 1 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.
Yeah, I mean, you can't really say much, I guess. No, not at all.

Speaker 1 So, because you can't jump as high, your shots are off. No, oh my god, my feet hurt so bad.
My bad,

Speaker 1 you're not in bone on floor, not good. I mean, I don't, I'm not jumping too much, so you know, I save myself a little bit.
Can you dunk, dude? I can dunk

Speaker 1 on a smaller rim, eight-foot rim, but I have dunked before, I've dunked on 10 before.

Speaker 1 No way.

Speaker 1 When I 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

Speaker 1 so nine and a half that's awful and that's and and and then to be honest

Speaker 1 like that means a lot to me bro

Speaker 1 dunking feels good dude

Speaker 1 i'm sorry sean

Speaker 1 because dunking to me man like as a white man it's my dream bro So I get emotional talking about like, I do, bro.

Speaker 1 I get emotional talking about dunking because like, like the air is different up there. You've dunked.
Everyone remembers their first dunk. You've dunked.
I've dunked. How does the air taste?

Speaker 1 It's different. It tastes different.
And I've never, I've never tasted it.

Speaker 1 Maybe one day, man.

Speaker 1 You got to work on your vert, my man. I showed Speed just did a vert test.
He's jumping 40 inches, man. Dude, I showed Speed came to Vegas and he didn't check in with any of us.

Speaker 1 How are you not going to check in?

Speaker 1 He did a lot in Vegas in that 24-hour period. And he didn't come on the pod? Nah.
Speed, bro.

Speaker 1 Darren. Is that his name?

Speaker 1 Darren Watkins. Damn, Doc.

Speaker 1 Why are you not coming to the pod, bro? One day, one day. One day.
He's on another level.

Speaker 1 Day.

Speaker 1 I don't know if I ever want to be on that level. He different.
He is different. When you got to move with that much security, it's almost like, shit, do I want to be that famous? I don't.

Speaker 1 You don't want to be that famous? Kanye level? Kanye level? I would like to be Kanye level success, but I don't want the fame that comes with it, bro.

Speaker 1 I feel like that's an antithesis statement or like an oxymoron statement when you want both, but you can't have it or something.

Speaker 1 Yeah, man.

Speaker 1 I want the success and

Speaker 1 I want the respect on your name. Like, yo, that Grady Ferrick guy, he cooked with that.

Speaker 1 But I don't want the, oh, that's Grady Ferrick on the street. Let's go mob his ass for photos.
The fanboy kind of vibe. Not doing that, bro.
I don't want that. Yeah, I don't mind people stopping me.

Speaker 1 It's happening more often, but the fanboy vibe is weird to me.

Speaker 1 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 is awesome. But yeah, man, when

Speaker 1 they're just looking at you and they're not saying anything, like you're a cross, bro, imagine like you're just walking across the mall and you see a dude just like staring at you.

Speaker 1 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 to ask for a photo.

Speaker 1 There's just a lot of things going through your mind.

He's from Flint, I think. Flint, Michigan.
Yeah, so he came. Wait, oh, yeah, Detroit.

Speaker 1 I think he came from the bottom of the the bottom, bro. And he was, and then he started boxing.
And then, bro, I think his highlight of his career, though, was he got to play me in basketball.

Speaker 1 Oh, you played him? Yeah, I fried him, bro. No, you didn't.
Oh, yeah, I fried Keith Lee. You played one-on-one or five-on-five? We played five on five, and I had his number the whole game.

Speaker 1 Me and him were going back and forth. It was like, it was iconic.
It was an iconic matchup, honestly. And yeah, man,

Speaker 1 I got the better of him that day. We're going to have to set it up again.
Was he nice, though?

Speaker 1 He was a nice human. He was a nice human.
Not nice on the court.

Speaker 1 Yeah, man. Keith needs to work on his game.

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.

Speaker 1 Who would have thought you could do that off TikTok?

Speaker 1 I didn't. When TikTok first got invented or was dropped and I was like a freshman in high school, and I was feeling like, yo, like, this could be the next vibe.

Speaker 1 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 videos.
Damn. Too scared.
I was too scared, bro.

Speaker 1 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 content online, I wish I would have started when I was that young.

Speaker 1 I was scared too, to be honest. Bro, it's scary to post your stuff, bro.
You're still in school. People are judging you.
Oh, school is the worst.

Speaker 1 We were talking about the hierarchy of sports in school. No, no, no.
The hierarchy of school in general is awful.

Speaker 1 Where were you on that hierarchy?

Speaker 1 I was him, bro. I was him.

Speaker 1 Kind of, sort of.

Speaker 1 I had my moments of him. Yeah.
And then I had my moments of the jokester, the loser, you know, just like everyone, I feel like. All right.
Ebbs and flows. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I feel like in high school, I definitely was,

Speaker 1 at least I tried to be friends with majority anyone, majority of everybody.

Speaker 1 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,

Speaker 1 I went home a couple, like a couple weeks ago, said hello to those guys, you know, still friends to this day.

Speaker 1 I feel like throughout my whole life, and I'm sure about this about you, don't mean to speak for you, but I feel like we surround ourselves with good people. Yeah.

Speaker 1 And that's like a talent within itself. You have to.
Yeah. It's important.
I mean, that's why you live with the guys you live with now, right? You're driving to get to that top level.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I live with YPK and Mecca and Armani and Connection Productions.

Speaker 1 He got, yo, let me tell you something about Connection Productions, right? This kid, he's from Baton Rouge. Like, he's from, like, literally, like,

Speaker 1 like, from nowhere, right? He comes here. First week, he's like, yo, dude, I gotta do something crazy.

Speaker 1 So like, like, he's like, because he's a graphic designer. Yeah, so every time he's with like a celebrity or someone, he just holds up his hand.
No, like, he just puts his logo up, bro. It's so smart.

Speaker 1 And he, 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. Oh, my God.
So like that anyone that like sees him can like go into his

Speaker 1 like go to his website and like like like order work or whatever. That's savage.
Yeah. Some QR code attached to it.
And it's huge, bro. Second hand.
It's huge. Oh, my God.

Speaker 1 I feel like that over time, you'd have to keep getting it done, though. Oh, yeah.
He needs a touch-up for surely. Yo, Peyton, you got to get a touch-up, bro.
That's nice. You got to get a touch-up.

Speaker 1 So you play in the league in L.A. You're playing out here in the runs.

Speaker 1 probably right now is I'm about whatever cuz.

Speaker 1 Just like Cam Wilder. Yet again, me and Cam, dude, I love Cam Wilder, bro.
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.

Speaker 1 Did he get too big time for you?

Speaker 1 I think something happened along the line with Cam where, you know,

Speaker 1 you know, he just he's 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. He's balling out.

Speaker 1 He's balling out so much. Like, I don't think people understand this about basketball.

Speaker 1 AAU is not that lucrative.

Speaker 1 AAU is a pretty good business, but he has not only

Speaker 1 found his way into that lane, but he's changed the business. He's pioneered a new path for a bunch of other creators that want to do AAU.

Speaker 1 And he's just made so much impact to the basketball community and culture that I guess he deserves to be a little big for his bridge.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I guess when you revolutionize a whole industry, you get a little

Speaker 1 big. But no, I'm just a little salty because he kicked me out, man.
But

Speaker 1 I get it, though. He doesn't, I don't think he liked the whatever cuz.
I don't think he likes the whatever cuz. I know DeAdrian Hardin liked it.
That was cool. He co-signed it.

Speaker 1 And then Theo Vaughn co-signed the whatever cuz stuff.

Speaker 1 So yeah, anytime you get like those really big names that have that much respect to like say, hey, this was funny. You know, you're on the right path to

Speaker 1 what you want to do in life. I feel like.
What did he do for AAU? I haven't been following it. Cam Wilder?

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Like, dude, you play a Raw Wave Valiet and you're a three-star athlete.

Speaker 1 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 you might not have been done.

Speaker 1 He's just giving another option, bro. And that's something that

Speaker 1 Cam's inspired me because I'm partnering with this guy. Uh, he works with this brand called Athlete Narrative.
Uh, I don't know how much you know about NCAA sports recruitment, but it's a

Speaker 1 athlete narrative is like an alternative to that.

Speaker 1 So, it's going to be like a social media platform for athletes that want to go play college or play professionally or play some type of sport that could be basketball, could be football, could be anything.

Speaker 1 Just play at that next level competitively. And we're just making it like

Speaker 1 an easier, an easier way to get to that level. Fire.
Yeah. So, I'm stoked for that.

Speaker 1 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. Scared it.
Because that's really what I'm here for.

Speaker 1 I realized like, bro, like

Speaker 1 making content and stuff is 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.

Speaker 1 It's 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.

Speaker 1 Like if I were to, like, bro, putting me on a podcast, that's fire, bro.

Speaker 1 Now I have a chance to talk. Yeah, this is your first one, right? It's my first ever podcast, bro.
Crazy. First ever podcast.

Speaker 1 Yeah, because I was preparing for this episode and I go on YouTube, look up Grady Pods. Never, bro.
First one. You've definitely been off it, though.
You turned them down. I swear to goodness, bro.

Speaker 1 You're the only one.

Speaker 1 Dude, nobody. Listen, the lawyers I was like, like saying, yo, Trev, I didn't mean to be like, bro, I'm not sponsored by any other brand.
I'm not sponsored by anybody else.

Speaker 1 I don't do any collaborations. All I do is hang out with Mecca, Ray, my girlfriend, and make videos and just hang out, bro.
Damn, I'm surprised. He's going to get tens of of millions of views.
I know.

Speaker 1 I'm underground. I feel like

Speaker 1 I'm like Ken Carson on SoundCloud before Playboy Cardi signed him to opium.

Speaker 1 Yes. Damn, what a good example.
Right.

Speaker 1 Shout out Ken Carson, by the way. Shout out, Ken.
Shout out to Ken. Shout out, Ken.
I got a list of five names here, okay?

Speaker 1 I want to see if you played them one-on-one. Who do you think would win? Okay, cool.
I like this. So let's start with, we'll start with an easier one because there's some good people on this list.

Speaker 1 Not so Air Jordan. Oh, that's my guy cooking him, frying.
You think he's? He's too skinny, man.

Speaker 1 Love him, though. He's a great father.
Great father, great husband, great man. Cooking him one-on-one.
I'm sorry, Jordan. Julian Newman.
Julian Newman, Las Vegas local. Love Julian Newman.
Too short.

Speaker 1 Sorry, Jew.

Speaker 1 Hey, but he can box. So I can't talk too much shit.
He might piece me up. Do you box? Oh, Julian Newman can.
Julian Newman has hands.

Speaker 1 People talk shit. They don't understand that, like, he could really do some damage to you, bro.
No wonder you be getting in some fights on him. Yeah, man, bro.
He just beat G.O.I.s.

Speaker 1 at the Aiden Ross boxing event. Shout out Aiden Ross.

Speaker 1 If Aiden Ross wants to sponsor sponsor a boxing match between me and sean kelly that we can make that happen i'll have to cut weight but you know geo wise that was my next person geo wise i'm sorry i love geo i just played with him last week i was playing barefoot

Speaker 1 told him it's cook i'm cooking geo he could dribble though right that's about it so

Speaker 1 that's how i feel let's get a little tougher now caitlin clark caitlin clark i love my women hoopers i love my women hoopers i love the wnb i support everything they do i love how they're grinding i love angel reese caitlin clark i'm sorry but you're getting cooked you think you you could actually beat her?

Speaker 1 Dude, because 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.

Speaker 1 And maybe occasionally that day, I have a good day. So Kaylin Clark,

Speaker 1 I'm picking me, bro. I love Kaylin Clark, though.
Okay. What about a bigger woman like Angel Reese? Oh,

Speaker 1 big mama, Angel Reese, man.

Speaker 1 Dude, she wants it bad, though. Like, I say Kaylin Clark, I'm going to beat because I don't think she cares that much.
I think Angel Reese cares that much. She's got a chip on her shoulder.

Speaker 1 Yeah, she does.

Speaker 1 I got me over Angel Reese, bro. Close game? Close game, though.

Speaker 1 That's pay-per-view. That's not free on YouTube.
That's like Devontae Freaka. He's set up on next chapter, bro.
If you're watching this, Angel, let us know. We'll set it up.

Speaker 1 Angel, I really don't want the smoke. I'm really about that.

Speaker 1 You got it.

Speaker 1 Hey, keep working, Angel. I don't want it.
Now, the king of ones at the moment, MK. You think you could take MK?

Speaker 1 Hey, MK wants that work, bro. He knows where to find me.
That'd be a good one. I would love that.
I would fry him, bro. Because here's the thing.

Speaker 1 I feel like MK, he's very talented, but he just plays basketball

Speaker 1 not the right way. And I have a lot more respect for the game of basketball than he does.
And

Speaker 1 yeah, man,

Speaker 1 I would really like to put that guy in his place. You don't think he follows too much? Yeah, he follows too much.
He's disrespectful. He's got all these fans coming out to this game, supporting him.

Speaker 1 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 bro i'd bring him water bottles out

Speaker 1 now i'm signing i'm taking pictures yeah i'm i'm doing something cool i'm bringing i'm giving him true right vitamin supplements i'm doing something to the like to for the fans and he's just disrespectful man well in two weeks uh i'm gonna set that up for you really 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 uh

Speaker 1 i think he gets that.

Speaker 1 I think five. I think he gets a dunk on you?

Speaker 1 Well, I think he gets a dunk on me. 5-1.
I think it's that dunk. Gets the crowd all going.
And then it goes show. I'm like.

Speaker 1 You start lighting it up.

Speaker 1 Are you serious, bro?

Speaker 1 You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 1 It gets serious.

Speaker 1 I've seen you get hot. I've seen you get hot out there.
I've seen you get hot out there, man.

Speaker 1 Rarely, but yeah, it'll happen. Dude, last night I had a good game.
How many points do you have?

Speaker 1 I went five for five, 10 points oh you're lying no i swear to god yeah lifetime tracks a stab let me see your arm bro yeah i got scratched

Speaker 1 on a rebound um dude 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 foul in touch bro check ball yeah yo what are you talking about what are you talking about right now bro yeah literally um all right how many points could you score in an nba game i think i could score six I think I could score six in any environment in the world.

Speaker 1 I feel like my game doesn't change. I feel like I'm so comfortable within myself and my game that I'm just running corner if defense slips off.
Because realistically, anyone could score in the NBA.

Speaker 1 There's this like narrative that 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.

Speaker 1 Not in the regular four season. Yeah, not in the regular season.

Speaker 1 Bro, if you subbed in Joe Schmo 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 going to kick you this.

Speaker 1 I'm going to kick out and shoot it. All right, then he might hit it.

Speaker 1 Yeah, if any other, hey, by the way, if any other NBA teams are listening that want to try out that theory with me, I am open for a 10-day contract.

Speaker 1 You should film at a tryout, see how many points you can score. Um, I've filmed at a Phoenix Sunshot before me and Mecca did.
Uh, they were looking into us. Did you score? Yeah, man, we do.

Speaker 1 We, uh, we played up, we scrimmaged, we shot around, we did a lot of stuff. And uh, at the end of the day, like, they were really thinking about signing Mecca.

Speaker 1 No, but Mecca actually is a like Mecca and Ray literally have gotten offered by the G League, by the NBA G League. Yeah, they've been offered by the NBA G League to play.

Speaker 1 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. Um,

Speaker 1 if I just feel like if content wasn't there, if content didn't happen, like, who knows where they could be professionally. They're probably making more off content, to be honest.
Yeah. Right.

Speaker 1 You know, like, the even international, they're not paying anything crazy these days. No, I might go play in Russia, though.
The bag's nice.

Speaker 1 Dude, my boy Ty Glover. I know Ty.
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 going to get my body right.

Speaker 1 I'm going to get my head right. I'm going to get everything right.
Learn some Russian. Dude, I'm going to be an ambassador for Russia, bro.
I'm going to be an American ambassador, and

Speaker 1 I'm going to create world peace and bring everyone.

Speaker 1 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 fort.

Speaker 1 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 the drew league shout out smiley shout out the commissioner um

Speaker 1 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 uh the color of what they jack or what their political or religious background is and that that's why basketball is great because between that, between those four lines, bro, it's just hoops.

Speaker 1 I feel

Speaker 1 it's hoops, bro.

Speaker 1 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's like, but you know what?

Speaker 1 People still do look at us a little way, like, Asian and white dude. They're like, oh, we're not giving him the ball.
I still get picked lost. Yeah.
Even six seconds. Hold on, let me rephrase.

Speaker 1 You have to be a good crip or good blood in order to get the ball, though, and actually play it. So you got to be nice, but

Speaker 1 my point still stands true. You know, it it's the it's the culture breaker you ever play street ball and you're like shit this is sketchy uh oh uh yeah

Speaker 1 all the time all the uh all the time we're at in vegas or not um i played in buffalo i'm from buffalo new york go bill shout out to the buffalo bills they're one of the super sketchy out there in buffalo it gets sheisty bro it gets sheisty bro if you know bro if you know if you know you know bro buffalo buffalo yo 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

Speaker 1 I'm talking to like its stats. Like we lead the league in murders.
Nah, but like, nah, we don't lead the league, bro. We're like top 10, though.
In Buffalo, yeah, dude.

Speaker 1 But this is the craziest thing about Buffalo, right? Buffalo has its crime, as every city does.

Speaker 1 But when the Buffalo Bills win a game, we win on Sunday. We beat the Miami Dolphins.
Crime rate drops down 50% when the Buffalo Bills win. Holy shit.
When the Buffalo Bills win.

Speaker 1 Dude,

Speaker 1 dude, people stop stealing. People stop looting.
People stop 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.

Speaker 1 Buffalo, dude. Bills Mafia.
Bills Mafia, bro. Are you part of that? Yes, I'm part of the Bills Mafia.
Hell yes, bro. Hell yes, Sean.
I've seen videos of it. Dude, we're winning the Super Bowl.

Speaker 1 I love the Raiders, but it's my favorite players. Raiders are host, dude.
Let's be honest. But Bills, they always make it far.
Bills are like that. They always make the playoffs.
Hey, Josh Allen, man.

Speaker 1 If you know, you know. He's him.
He's him.

Speaker 1 He's him. He's him, bro.
Just that guy. What do you think of the Al Horford trade to the Warriors? Al Horford trade to the Warriors.
I actually didn't hear about that. He's 39.

Speaker 1 He's going to be their starting center. Al Horford to the Warriors.
I think the Warriors are a trash organization ever since they got rid of Jordan Poole, so I really don't give a damn what they do.

Speaker 1 They seem like they never were as good.

Speaker 1 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 that 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

Speaker 1 hey man i don't i think if they kept pool they might have won another chip or two hell yeah jordan poole's dumb nice bro that's the og baddie effect yeah you know what i'm saying he's dumb nice yeah you think braun gets another one i know lebron gets another one it's in his contract yeah it's in his contract he's getting two more you think lebron has to win two more in his It's like, because all these guys, they have contracts, right?

Speaker 1 So boom. Like, you'll have

Speaker 1 a dude, like, okay, this guy's going to be a superstar. We're going to sign him to a max contract.

Speaker 1 In that max contract, he is entitled to one NBA championship, a shoe deal, and multi-millions of dollars.

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 You think it's scripted? I know it's scripted. WWE.
100%. Everything's scripted.
Anything that, bro, anything that makes quantillions of bajillions of quantillions of dollars is scripted.

Speaker 1 I don't know if people understand this. At least

Speaker 1 it's regulated. Yeah.
It's regulated. 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.

Speaker 1 You could bet on points in the first quarter. You could bet on anything.
Just,

Speaker 1 where is 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. That's dead.
That's sad.

Speaker 1 If people are watching, they're betting these days.

Speaker 1 It's sad, bro. I don't bet on the Buffalo Bills, bro.
I just, because I love the Buffalo Bills too much. I love them too much, bro.
I don't bet. You think Kawhi Lenning's going to have a good season?

Speaker 1 If he plays, man, if he's healthy,

Speaker 1 you know, if he's healthy,

Speaker 1 he's great.

Speaker 1 LeBron or MJ? LeBron James. LeBron Ramon James.
You think he's better? I know he's better.

Speaker 1 Bro, come on. I saw a clip the other day.

Speaker 1 I don't know if we can pull up clips, but Michael Jordan does this like over the

Speaker 1 to the basket other side reverse layup. Then the next clip is Grayson Allen doing the same thing.

Speaker 1 I have never seen Grayson Allen do anything LeBron James has done except maybe shoot a wide open three.

Speaker 1 Facts. He does have a nice three these days.
Grayson? Yeah. Yeah, it's from Duke, bro.
Yeah. No, he turned into a sniper, though.
See, that's what these journey guy.

Speaker 1 I'm like a, Grayson Allen's like a max level Grady. I consider a lot of these people Grady variants.
So like

Speaker 1 Grayson Allen, Grady variant.

Speaker 1 Who else is a Grady variant? Jimmer Ferdett. Jimmer Ferdett.
Any white boy, honestly, I claim all white boys with brown hair as Grady variants.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 might be messed up.

Speaker 1 You see a lot of similarities. Dude, I just did a skit with a kid that looked just like me.
And I made it like

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.
Do you feel that way?

Speaker 1 Dude, right now, with the outfit I'm wearing,

Speaker 1 I do. I feel like a very basic white man right now.
That sucks. Does.
And that's something I have to wake up out of bed with every day.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 So how do you differentiate yourself? I don't know. I might

Speaker 1 dye my hair hair or something. Dye it blue.
Yeah, it might be dye it blue. Give me some diversity.
Yeah. You know? You ever do anything like that before? No, I'm pretty.
I'm pretty solid.

Speaker 1 I don't have earrings. I don't got anything.

Speaker 1 I got two tats. I got tats on my wrists.
I got tats on my wrists.

Speaker 1 So it's Isaiah 54, 17. 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.

Speaker 1 Like wake up in the morning, get ready for school. Or go into school.
All right, Grady, have a good day. Remember, no weapon formed against you shall prosper.

Speaker 1 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 damn i didn't know you had a little christian side you okay 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 yeah you know everyone else is different but that that's that's what that's what works for me do you ever feel like you're misunderstood sometimes nah dude because i i put out exactly what I want.

Speaker 1 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

Speaker 1 I have no complaints. Do you think it's, do you feel like you're putting on a persona sometimes, though? Never.
I'm always genuinely myself.

Speaker 1 Like, like, I don't, like, when I like airball a shot, that's not me pulling out a character. I really stink.
I really airballed that three.

Speaker 1 So, I know, I never want people to think, oh, is you trolling? Nah, guys, it's, it's that. I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 It's like that. You're still airballing? I'm still airballing, dude.
It's not like a a joke, man. It's real.
It's real, real. It's real, real, real.

Speaker 1 Shit, you're putting on reps, though. I'm surprised.
Dude, I'm always going to stop because

Speaker 1 I'd rather go one for 100 because that means I never stop shooting.

Speaker 1 One for 100 because I never stop shooting. I'm never going to be the dude that goes 0 for 10.
I feel it. I'm making one before I leave the gym every time.

Speaker 1 Every time. Sean Kelly.
You watch the movie him?

Speaker 1 You know the movie him that just came out? Is that by Jordan Peel? It's by Jordan Peel. I didn't see it yet.
Hey, man, if you know, you know. That's that's all I'm gonna say.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I want to watch that one. 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. It's not scary.
It's that scary.

Speaker 1 If you know, you know. Anyone, hey, because hey, anyone that watches the movie, bro, just know that shit's that shit's probably happening.
Damn, at least, maybe not.

Speaker 1 Not probably not with LeBron because

Speaker 1 LeBron's a goat. LeBron works really hard.

Speaker 1 LeBron's genuinely the GOAT. Like, LeBron genuinely, like,

Speaker 1 could run for president of the United States and get elected.

Speaker 1 That's how much of the GOAT is. Yes, he could on the Democratic side right now.
You might get some Republicans to vote for LeBron. Damn.
That's how much, that's how good he is at basketball.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 That's facts. It's a worldwide sport.
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 start point guard

Speaker 1 is better or like has more power than high school quarterback. Damn.
Maybe. Really? Depends.
I would say, yeah, quarterback and starting point guard are maybe.

Speaker 1 Yeah, point.

Speaker 1 Which position you think gets the most respect about? Dude, I think point guard. Point guard? Dude, because like.
Quarterback is swag.

Speaker 1 You have swag, but like, bro, there's nothing better than, hey, heh, cross butt, heh, yeah, over, bro, like, in the crowd, bro. And then, like, the mixtapes, but Josh Allen is really cool.

Speaker 1 Like, I got, like, I say all that to say that Josh Allen might be the coolest athlete in sports right now. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah. He's that guy for sure.
He's that guy right now. Steph Curry or Kobe?

Speaker 1 Steph Curry. Wow.
Instant answer. Yeah.
I love, rest in peace, Kobe Bryant. Love you, Kobe Bryant, but it is Stephen Curry.

Speaker 1 Why? Because like people talk about like the mama mentality, but people don't understand like the Curry mentality. Like the Curry mentality, bro, like I think Curry works harder than Kobe.
Damn.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 So I got Curry over Kobe. Okay.
You got Curry as a best point guard then. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Over Magic, too? Yeah, Curry's on my Mount Rushmore. It goes like LeBron Curry, Kevin Durant,

Speaker 1 and then, I don't know, throwing like Shaq or something. No MJ?

Speaker 1 Nah. Holy shit.
Not throwing Shaq. Wow.

Speaker 1 Bro, just on my Mount Rushmore. Why do you got? Nah, I'm lying.
I'm lying. I'm lying.

Speaker 1 I'm just a LeBron Glazer, man. I'm just a LeBron Glazer.
I got MJ. I'm going to go.
MJ, LeBron, Curry, Shaq, Katie. KD.

Speaker 1 Dude, KD's so good. He's seven foot tall and he gets you from anywhere, bro.
It's unguardable. He's unguardable.
And he was the first to do it. Like, he's the first.

Speaker 1 Like, no one else was doing it like him. Yeah.
Now,

Speaker 1 I mean, now we got guys out the out the pipe just coming out that are six seven we got wemby now yeah wenby shooting from seven

Speaker 1 seven six i think he is seven six shooting from 35 feet out what the hell that's a yaoming height with a jump shot yeah bro we're living we're living in the crazy yeah that's a cheat card i feel like making the nba now because everyone's just breeding Breeding?

Speaker 1 Like they're selecting tall. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, these kids.

Speaker 1 This is the thing. This is why, like I said, with Cam Wilder and AAU stuff, all this AAU stuff, it is so hard to like, to actually make it to a point where you're making a lot of money.

Speaker 1 Like, dude, these kids are getting hand-picked when they're like six, seven. You know what I'm saying? Yeah.
Like, literally, like,

Speaker 1 the ball is life overtime. All these like youth groups, like, they're recording.
And, like, they're almost like,

Speaker 1 they're like making almost like essentially industry plans, but basketball players. So, unless you're like, unless you're legitimately a five, four-star recruit, you're not getting scouted.

Speaker 1 You're cooked. You're cooked, bro.
It's so hard. It's monopolized.
They've monopolized it. At least they got NIL these days, all right? Yes, that is a savior.
And that's what I'm here for.

Speaker 1 Yeah, they didn't have that when you were playing. I'm here to get you a bag.
Yeah. I'm saying, how old are you, Sean? I'm 28.

Speaker 1 You play college sports? No. So you got four years eligibility? I still do.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Is there an age limit on it? Dude, it don't matter. You could be 40?

Speaker 1 Ever since COVID, you got 30-year-olds playing college. No way.
Hell yes. Wow.
Yes. And that makes another thing.

Speaker 1 If you're like an 18-year-old kid about to go into a 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.
That's wild.

Speaker 1 Yeah, because you're still growing. You're still growing, and you got a grown men that are paying for their wife and kids and family.

Speaker 1 It's not fair, bro. A different level.
Was that always your goal to play Pro Ball? It still is the goal to play Pro Ball. I'm going to Russia.

Speaker 1 Pack your bags. Yeah, I'm going to go.
It's cold out there, bro. I'm saying what's up to Dennis Rodman and Putin, bro.
Rodman's out there, huh? Hell yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he might be out there in North Korea, too. Yeah, he's everywhere, bro.
That's an interesting thing. I wouldn't go over there, though.
I probably would stay clear there. Unless the money's right.

Speaker 1 They offer me $2,500. $2,500,000 to go play in North Korea.
$2,500.

Speaker 1 $250,000. $250,000.
That's enough for you to chill. I'll go to North Korea.
I'll go to North Korea and play basketball. Damn.
I'll go. I'll go.
You heard it here, guys. $250,000.

Speaker 1 Hey, man, Kim Jong, you want to send a 10-day over? You'd see the tallest one over there. I would be elite.
