Kayvon Thibodeaux | Owning Your Narrative

Mon, 08 Apr 2024 20:48:20 -0000

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

Robert Horry | Living Life Without Fear

Tue, 19 Dec 2023 19:51:12 -0000

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

The Professor | Where There's a Will, There's a Way

Tue, 19 Dec 2023 19:45:24 -0000

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

Lethal Shooter aka Chris Matthews | Shooters Shoot

Tue, 19 Dec 2023 19:38:20 -0000

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

Daniel Ezra | Flipping The Script

Tue, 28 Nov 2023 18:30:52 -0000

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

Odis Shumpert | Family Values

Tue, 17 Oct 2023 16:00:00 -0000

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

HaHa Davis | Laugh and the World Laughs With You

Tue, 10 Oct 2023 16:00:00 -0000

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

Kier Gaines | Mental Health is Heath

Tue, 03 Oct 2023 16:00:00 -0000

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

Maxisnicee | Calling Your Own Plays

Tue, 26 Sep 2023 16:00:00 -0000

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

Matthew Cherry | If You See It, You Can Be it

Tue, 19 Sep 2023 16:00:00 -0000

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

Kwame Onwuachi | Cooking with Gas

Tue, 12 Sep 2023 16:00:00 -0000

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

Jordan Ward | The Journey And The Destination

Tue, 05 Sep 2023 16:00:00 -0000

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

Cree Summer | Finding Your Voice

Tue, 29 Aug 2023 16:00:00 -0000

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

BJ The Chicago Kid | Bearing Your Soul

Tue, 22 Aug 2023 16:00:00 -0000

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

Gilbert Arenas | Zero to 100

Tue, 15 Aug 2023 16:00:00 -0000

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

Amber Rose | When You Stop Learning, You Stop Living

Tue, 08 Aug 2023 16:00:00 -0000

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

Tristan Mack Wilds | Becoming Your Alter Ego

Tue, 01 Aug 2023 16:00:00 -0000

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

DeMar Derozan | Never Stop Attacking

Tue, 25 Jul 2023 16:00:00 -0000

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

Vernon Davis | Roles We’re Born To Play

Tue, 18 Jul 2023 16:00:00 -0000

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

Kaitlyn Bristowe | Stepping Outside of the Box

Tue, 11 Jul 2023 16:00:00 -0000

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

Metta Sandiford-Artest | The Evolution of a Man

Tue, 04 Jul 2023 16:00:00 -0000

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

Christian Combs | Carrying On Tradition

Tue, 27 Jun 2023 16:00:00 -0000

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

LaRussell | Free Game

Tue, 20 Jun 2023 16:00:00 -0000

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

KevonStage | Being Undeniable

Tue, 13 Jun 2023 16:00:00 -0000

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

IDK | No Labels

Tue, 06 Jun 2023 16:00:00 -0000

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

Amari Bailey | Manifesting Your Destiny

Tue, 30 May 2023 16:00:00 -0000

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

Mark Phillips | Dreams Money Can’t Buy

Tue, 23 May 2023 16:00:00 -0000

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

Miles Brown | Growing Up On Stage

Tue, 16 May 2023 16:00:00 -0000

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

Tobe Nwigwe | Unapologetically Original

Tue, 09 May 2023 07:01:00 -0000

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

Hit-Boy | Musical Chameleon

Tue, 02 May 2023 07:01:00 -0000

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

Maverick Carter | Betting On Yourself

Thu, 15 Dec 2022 08:01:00 -0000

I've always admired the empire that LeBron has built with his childhood friends. That is so dope to me. We got to sit down with a real boss. Mav had me wanting to play poker so bad. When I look back on creating this podcast with my brother Ahrii, it was intended to be a safe space for people to be vulnerable, tell their story and grow. I didn't realize that it was also going to be therapeutic for me. As we always say, thank y'all for rocking with us on Iman Amongst Men Season 1. Stay tuned because we'll be back before you know it. Happy Holidays! See y'all in 2023. Until then, we are gone!

Ben Baller | Dropping Gems

Thu, 08 Dec 2022 08:01:00 -0000

Now y'all know I like to think of myself as a modern day renaissance man. I think my guy Ben Baller could give me a run for my money. This guy has stories for days being from K-Town. I can't imagine DJing in Denzel's restaurant in front of Dr. Dre. In all seriousness though, I learned that old school Korean dads are a lot like black dads when it comes to raising kids. Come correct when you talk to this man. After all, his name is Ben Baller not Ben Humble.

Curren$y | Fortune + Fame

Thu, 01 Dec 2022 08:01:00 -0000

When you buy kids hot wheels, they might grow up and partner with NASCAR. Start 'em young. Boy I swear if I got a scholarship offer at 9-years-old, I would've committed right then and there. I don't care what Curren$y says, I'm going to stay wrapping my cars so I don't get tired of the same paint job. C'mon and hop on this jet with a legend man.

Jean Elie | Black Boy Joy

Thu, 24 Nov 2022 08:01:00 -0000

Get it right, it's Jean (French pronunciation) E-Lee. There's been a couple times people tried to double back and be cool with me after trying to dismiss my talent. Back then they didn't want me now I'm hot..y'all know the rest. I am all about creators supporting creators. To all my guys out there that are getting ready to move in with their girl for the first time, I've got some advice for y'all. I promise, you will thank me later.

Jay Pharoah | First Impressions

Thu, 17 Nov 2022 08:01:00 -0000

Now I thought we were getting Jay Pharoah on the show, and don't get me wrong, we did. But this was a really dope episode because we got surprise guest appearances by Denzel Washington, T.I., 50 Cent, Shannon Sharpe, and Kevin Hart just to name a few. I also got to know the real Jared Farrow on a deeper level. Comedians are human at the end of the day. I really didn't expect to have a serious moment with this guy but he taught us the value of being authentic with your audience (shoutout Charlie Murphy), and knowing the law if you're black in America. Denzel told us Diddy needs to pay Ma$e his money!

Kyle Harrison | Representation Matters Pt. II

Thu, 10 Nov 2022 08:02:00 -0000

Kyle Harrison is like the lacrosse version of MJ. You thought the euro step on the hardwood was cold, imagine seeing Kyle do that on turf! I'm a true believer that if you want your kids to get a free Ivy league education, sign them up for lacrosse. I think my favorite part of this conversation was really thinking about who my idols are outside of sports. Who are yours?

SiR | Musical Craftsman

Thu, 03 Nov 2022 16:31:00 -0000

I think of music as a perfect science, but my mans SiR broke it down to me as math. When you're on the same label as someone like K.Dot, it can be hard to stand out. I love how secure SIR is in his music and how real he is about what he has going on in his personal life. I was today years old when I found out that Tupac wasn't from LA. Mind blown. Who are your Top 5 LA rappers? Because mine got annihilated today.

Andrew Hawkins | The Sky's The Limit

Thu, 27 Oct 2022 07:01:00 -0000

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

Bianca Stewart | The Gladiators' Hub

Thu, 20 Oct 2022 17:03:00 -0000

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

Cuttino Mobley | Defining Success

Thu, 13 Oct 2022 16:47:46 -0000

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

Shawn Amos | Jack of All Trades

Thu, 06 Oct 2022 09:40:00 -0000

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

Al Harrington | Generational Wealth

Thu, 29 Sep 2022 07:01:00 -0000

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

Caron Butler | Overcoming Adversity

Thu, 22 Sep 2022 11:49:00 -0000

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

Nick Young | Real Life Trendsetters

Thu, 08 Sep 2022 15:11:00 -0000

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

CeeLo Green | The Art of Expression

Thu, 25 Aug 2022 07:52:00 -0000

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

Lil Rel Howery | 10,000 Hours

Thu, 18 Aug 2022 07:01:00 -0000

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

Hebru Brantley | Representation Matters Pt. I

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

Steelo Brim | Taking A Leap Of Faith

Thu, 04 Aug 2022 07:01:00 -0000

My Chicago brother, Steelo Brim, is seriously more than Ridiculousness. When you step out of your comfort zone, that's when you step into your purpose. I was tired of listening to everyone else telling my story, so I started a podcast. That's where me and Steelo can relate, shout out to the Wine and Weed podcast. Reparations was something I didn't really think was possible, but it's doable. Therapy is not something I really understood. Ahrii told me, I need to go back.

Jacob Latimore | Art Imitates Life

Thu, 28 Jul 2022 07:01:00 -0000

On The Chi, me and Emmett have real beef, but when the director says cut it's all love between me and Jacob. There's child stars, then there's Emmett, I mean Jacob. This man really signed a record deal at 13. I bet y'all didn't know that's my cousin. New York or Chicago pizza? There's only one right answer. I judged people that were homeschooled before I met Teyana, but Jacob confirmed that it might be the way to go.

DJ Hed | Shifting The Culture

Thu, 21 Jul 2022 07:01:00 -0000

Let's be clear, DJ Hed wants no smoke. I respect that his brand is not for sale and he likes disruption in the music industry. There's a lot of DJs but he really understands music and the culture. Weddings, Halloween, and theme parks are just a few of the things he doesn't mess with. We all know Nipsey Hussle is 1 of 1, but he breaks down what made him so special.

Josiah Johnson | Grinding All My Life

Thu, 14 Jul 2022 07:01:00 -0000

Did someone say Twitter fingers? The King of NBA Twitter sets the record straight on Kaepernick, tells us the one tweet he regrets, and his true feelings about cancel culture. He breaks down how he emerged out of his pops shadow, Bucks legend Marques Johnson. I really had to ask myself, what can't this man do? He writes, he produces, and he's building his empire with the next generation of black creatives in mind. The marathon continues!

Eric Dickerson | Generation to Generation

Thu, 07 Jul 2022 07:01:00 -0000

Our OG Eric Dickerson came through and dropped some jewels from his new book "Watch My Smoke". The audiobook is fire! Love the way dude tells a story. I was recruited heavily out of high school. For ED, it was on a whole other level. He was really rolling around in a gold Trans Am in college. We've all heard baby mama drama stories. A real man owns up to his mistakes and tries to make things right with his kids. What would you do if you were the Commissioner of the NFL? Eric Dickerson put us on game in this episode with knowledge and stories that left us speechless.

J.R. Smith | The True Meaning of Brotherhood

Thu, 30 Jun 2022 07:01:00 -0000

I played nearly a decade in the NBA with J.R. Smith, on the Knicks and the Cavs. We won a championship together in 2016 that solidified our brotherhood. That same year, we found out just how gritty the Splash Brothers are. Swish goes to an HBCU and we ride for everybody black with a 4.0. He got to know me my rookie year on the Knicks and told us how Byron Scott son'd him in NOLA. If you're not listening by now, get to it!

Matt Barnes | Crash Course in Media

Thu, 23 Jun 2022 07:01:00 -0000

Aye man, if you're now tuning in it's the first episode of Iman Amongst Men. We sat down with NBA champion Matt Barnes. He gave us the keys to the podcast game. Trust and believe, he has no regrets on moving on from the league. Therapy helped our boy make amends with his ex-wife and his ex-teammate. Won't he do it! Now it's all about the smoke, coaching and raising his boys. Much respect to my OG!
