Welcome to the very first episode of Rory and Maul Don't Know Ball, brought to you by our great guys at the Volume, your new partner. Shout out to everyone over there, our label mats everyone.
You know the dream come true. I've been waiting. I've been waiting for a platform to get my sports shit off on and.
Been waiting for the time I could smoke a wine black and Mouth and sharks all. I podcasted for that. Yeah, you know I was. I was out on the street with the Volume folks uh.
In New Orleans.
Yeah, I was hellow here and there. Yeah yeah, I was trying to scare them, let him know, we here to shake ship.
Yeah.
I wasn't even drunk.
I was just slamming bottles on Bourbon Street floor, just just to see how they reacted, Just let them know. See the emails that came the next day. Well, he can't wait to meet you in personal Yeah, yeah, don't know what you saw Bourbon Street with two great Danes and a bottle of fucking I'm here, Wow, Turkey.
I'm here. Well, this is Don't Know Ball because Rory, we don't know Ball.
Yes, I feel like I love the press release shots of ballroom shots.
Everyone.
I think everyone thought we were about to do a full blown sports show, which isn't the case per se. No, you and I have spent a lot of time around athletes, and every time that they want to talk, they don't want to talk about sports. They want to argue with us about music, group chats, my text Maash, everything is just all about rappers. So we thought maybe we would bring that on air because I can only speak for myself. All athletes have the worst rap takes I've ever heard of my fucking life.
Well that's what I was gonna say, Like, we get killed for our sports takes. And you know, obviously we don't know ball, but athletes don't know music, No, some of them. Some of them surprisingly know more than we expect. But this is why we've created this show to kind of show those contrasts of yeah, we don't know ball, but a lot of these athletes they don't know music either.
So we let's have a conversation with some of our favorite athletes and famous, favorite people from the sports world, and let's see exactly how much we don't know about ballah.
Cause I feel like they go hand in hand. Rappers want to be athletes. Athletes want to be rappers. It's just it's part of the culture, part of it. Forever it goes. I mean shit, even down to the rat beef shit iverson getting brought up in some shit he didn't want to be brought up in every time. I feel like every time there's a rat battle in athlete's name gets brought up somewhere in there, because I was even going back, I think every single battle has that.
Well, you can't have too many hip hop bars without it being a sports reference in it. It's just something that has been in Unison since the beginning. A lot of the basketball in particular basketball culture taking office in large part of hip hop becoming such a worldwide phenomenon. So we here to have some fun talk to some some some athletic guests, talk to some guests from the sports world. Yeah, and let's see how much we can we can share with each other.
Yeah, media, coaches, personalities, not just always athletes all the time. That was a very mature response that you were saying that. Of course there's metaphors and rat bars about sports, some of them sleeping with the same women, because that's what that's what gets brought up in every single battle.
Yeah, that's a whole other conversation that.
Every battle, Yo, there's always a rapper that is bringing up someone that they're Eschobo brothers with.
Yeah.
Absolutely, it happens. They frequent the same places.
And that won't really be the consensus of this show. We're not trying to get messy and do that. No, it may come up every now and then, but you know that'll be in pretty production.
Depending on who we're with and depending on how much they still work out. We don't want to We don't want to start wrestling on the set. We don't want that to happen.
That's when I know shit got really weird when podcasters and athletes that were Eskimo brothers like you too.
Yes, different worlds. It's a whole different world out here now. But I am excited because we get to uh, we get to talk. I get to get off some of my I think I have the best, worst takes. I have the best work for it because I could be because I could be wrong.
But I could be right, you know what I'm saying.
So listen, man, mister Terrence Howard, shit and get Richard I trying.
I could have been right. But I could have been wrong. Yeah, and even if I could have been wrong, I'm I'm still right because.
I could have been still right, but I'm still right exactly. That that's the approach I take the sports exactly. So I think we're ready for our guests. Yeah, first one, let's do it.
Welcome to another episode or a new episode of Don't Know Ball, the show where Rory and Maul don't know Ball, don't know nothing about ball, but we talked to some of our favorite athletes and sports personalities so they can tell us exactly how much we.

That's a fact.
So I'm here at PG right now, and I ain't mean to cut you off, but shout out to PG because that's one of my major sponsors that keep my golf game.
Right.
You're smelling no, pat listen.
Man, I gotta I gotta come to PXG. I gotta go in the shopping I need to get every day. I don't have nothing, but I really do want to get into golf. Like we went golf maybe two years ago, and I'm absolutely terrible, but it is something that I do want to get into. So the fact that you at PXG. I got to get the PXG and get my whole golf shit together, and I ain't Bro.
I got some connections though, you know what I'm saying, no more, and I'm starting a golf show getting the damn Hole this summer. I'm gonna be shooting the damn hole. I like that. Get in the damn hole, you know what I mean. We're gonna take four everybody got to take four shots before we start a game. Tom Tom fashion five hole, been big money, smoking a lot of weed and man respecting the culture of golf, but like it's a different culture now when it comes absolutely.
Oh no, I gotta, I gotta see that's my type of show. I gotta.
I gotta be a guest on that show. Bro, four shot, got you, I need you four shots smoke and then we I'm down, Get in then get in the damn hold.
Get the damn I'm down. I'm definitely coming to shoot that with you for sure.
You know, Schoolboy Q said he was going to retire rapping and just golf. Have you connected with him yet?
No, I haven't. I got it. I know schoolboard with you, but I haven't told to him all since he made that statement. But great, dude, though he golf, he golf for really he was him, what do you shoot?
I can't remember what he shot, but we shot out in Calabasas at the Calabasas Club with y'all suck sound like, no, we trashed, But it was some. It was some real golfers out there, like Matt Barnes was there. His golf game look pretty decent.
But it was some real golf it was.
It was some.
It was some golfers out there that really did that thing.
But but but Q actually surprised me, like you know, he was, and he's been talking about how much he's he's jumped into golf obviously Jr.
Smith everything that he's doing in golf.
Golf, Yeah, J Smith could definitely play with That's my boy.
Yeah, So I definitely I want to get into it, man, because I think, like you said, it is it is cool that you know, more of us are getting into golf and kind of bringing our culture into golf and having fun with the sport and just making it our own.
I think anything we touch, we make it our own, and we make it's.
Crazy, bro, Like, where are we at right now? And compared to where we used to be. Like golf was a rich white sport, old rich white. You had to have a lot of money to play golf. Some way, you can compare it to fucking hockey like, well, we grew up down have hockey bro Like the goddamn's hockey skates costs a thousand dollars. Kids in the hood can't pay for that. These titleist balls, these p XG clubs that I'm hitting, you know what I mean, These are
twenty thousand dollars clubs for a set. Damn. So I think now where we're at in the day and the time, it's about what you wanted to do. They making ship affordable for what you want. You get what I'm say. Everybody can't get pggs straight off the riff, but if you're in that ballpark, you can get the pgg's. But like we didn't have we didn't we didn't have the tools. When I grew up from where I'm from, from Bankhead, both Rock Westside, Atlanta, Georgia, uh going and I stayed
right up the street to East Lake. Yeah, we would go up there and pick up balls for money, but it was nowhere near and like we was getting a chance to play right, and so like, yeah, I enjoyed though, Bro, it's it's me competing against myself, you know what I mean, just being that little white ball out that you can't get mad at. Noldbody. Yeah, what's yourself?
When you playing golf? Is your approach to it?
As far as from a music standpoint, on the way to the course, are you listening to the same type of music you will listen to you on your way to the field.
Damn, that's a good course. I do listen. I listened to music the whole time I'm playing golf. Like always got to speak on my car.
What's in your golf car? What's what's one of your playlists for your golf car? A lot of jelly bro, I ain't gonna lie, okay, all right, George, just.
Because I ain't trying to get all round up. You know what?
A different frequency in golf.
Yeah, like a lot of jelly roll.
Is that what made you want to do the country record?
Huh?
Is that what made you want to do the country record?
No? Actually, it just so happened to happen because I'm pretty talented, and man, Jimmy was talking one day and like Jailer Road was my friend, bro, Like we went to college, get like on my couch, like like we're like, I know him, know him?
I didn't know. I never knew he went to West Virginia.
Yes, Jairo went to West Virginia. Why Blanco? Wow, Blanco is like my best friend. He grew up in the same projects I grew up in. That's right.
I had no idea about that.
I heard I heard Gonna do the Two Steps six years before it came out, like that was my boy, Like, yeah, future right up the street.
So now I know who the feature is that you ain't want to say now I know that I have not.
Said anything, but that's a good assumption. Yeah, I know, yeah right there, Yeah.
Yeah, yeah. When you met Jelly rolling West Virginia? Was he was he making music?
Yeah?
Okay, Rapp, were you making music at that time?
Too? Well, I would go in rap, but like I would always like I've always been in the studio and all around the studio. But like them chicks won't like football chicks, Maron, no, y, I ain't none of them chicks Like, no, absolutely not. I'm cool with like no, I'm actually invested in repers and I will not say their name. Okay, that are mainstream artists. Yeah, but them checks are not like them football chicks.
No, absolutely not, not even like I'm.
Making five hundred thousand a week. Like you think I worry.
About rapping really like you think I want Spotify's penny, Like what are we talking about.
I've always enjoyed doing it. Like I had a label that was called NSL when I was in the league and NFL made me like change the name because it was sound to call the same sign as in FL. But it was in SL National Street League. So I've always been dibbing and dabbing in the music. I had the biggest studio in Atlanta. Everybody came through eight oh eight metro. The Future end up selling it in the future. After after I was like I'm done with this, this, this, this,

That music ship is this day and age and time, like we ain't have all these phones, like we had phones like maybe high school, but like you still don't have a phone, Like we had my Space, bro, my Space, what was
the ot ship they had? But like we didn't have the platform of of all this ship that we take this new technology screaming and all that when when we grew up, So like I grew abround like and I ain't trying to be boosting and bragging, but like I grew up trying to stay alive. Like all thing was like I'm gonna keep my head in this football because I go out this don't. I don't want that to
catch up with me, you know what I mean? And basketball all sports, I should say, But like I was different, like mentally driven, like way different than a lot of kids that was in the projects, you get what I'm saying. Like my dad was like d man, Like I've seen my dad get killed right in front of me. So like a lot of things that other people might be
like looking up to, like that wasn't me. Like like I've never had Oh I want to be like Emmy Smith, Like no that that that that like mentally I've just always been like that. Like and then the last time I ever thought that I wanted to be somebody when I was growing which was d one sempers, and that was just more of the person that D is, you know what I mean, as the player. And when I got to meet him, I'm like, Damn, this is who I need to try to fucking be like. And can't
be like him because he don't cuss. I cussed all the time. But like, I took a lot of characteristics from our relationship him, him being in my life and being like a big brother, father figure and tried to implement that and my day to day basis. So I fucking whacking nobody around here.

More so? Season two going in to Atlanta trying to try.
To throw that portion out there, like yeah, you really want to say, bro, Like, come.
On, no, I'm actually more talking about the party scene and everything in Atlanta for that second season. First of all, he did his sign Statute of limitations is over. He did it time he could. We could all talk about it at this point. But when when they arrived did in Atlanta? Was that wave really like that?
The wave was already liked that though, And like you got to realize, like, so I grew up in Atlanta, then I leave West Virginia and go to California, right, I meet TA in California? Okay, do you know what I'm saying? That three two one shit was t shit? Like what if you look on your phone it's BMF on the phone, then you say, right. But like, it wasn't nothing different that I didn't know though, bro, Like I can tell you ten people that was spending just
as much money that was going out every night. They had same amount of cars, same amount of girls. Like it was just he was a little bit more flamboyant with it. I just put it like that.
Yeah that so now it's so about your time in Dallas? Did Jerry Jones or the cal always have any clubhouse rules that you was just absolutely like, how are we supposed to be lose? How were supposed to get ready for gaming? Y'all got all these damn rules in this clubhouse.
Shout out to my team at been online do ag. Shout out to the pac Man Jones show. I've never had a rub in the rule in the clubhouse.
Bro, you never had a rule in the clubhouse.
Doesn't mean rules, doesn't mean it wasn't rules, but you ain't never had no rules in the clubhouse.
Never, nobody. I've never had a problem at the clubhouse, Okay, not one. Like my problem is when I leave that motherfucker. Yeah, I'm saying all night, you know what I'm saying.
So now you're been what.
Time are we supposed to be in for curfew? Let my coaches be like, we got a night game. We gotta we gotta lock this nigga in the room coming back for curfew. Yeah, I'll never forget it. I was playing, Uh we played the Eagles when I I was with Tennessee in Philly. We had a night game. Coach Fisher was like, man, I need you here. Yeah, at least by twelve o'clock. I'm like, bro, we don't play the eight o'clr. BRO, Like, if you're gonna find me, go ahead and find me. I go. I go up the
script club. I took a couple of teammates with me. He finally ship out of them too. I will say that I got back at like two thirty. I was wasted too. I had a plump for nine eight yards to win the game.
So at that point, just let me do what I du because when it's game time, I'm locked in. Trust my process, I'm locked up.
Let me get relaxed.
So what did the coach? What did the coach after that?
After that?
After that touchdown?
What do you say I want so you can google this player. I ran back to the sideline, threw up, and went back in the game because it was defense time. That was a pump return that I took to the house. That that Eagles game. Yeah, but like coach Fisher, coach Lewis was by far change uh and coach Rod Reguez. I will say that too, my college coach. Okay, they player coaches, you know what I mean, and all that shit. You treat every player the same. That's a lie. Yeah, that's a lot.
So we see, uh, we see coach Coach Sanders and what he did for Colorado as far as bringing the culture there and turning that program around.
Uh.
The newest one, Deshaun Jackson is now going to Delaware State and we'll see, we'll see what he does as far as bringing the coature there.

Man, you could be the goddamn practice squad right man, you're getting a car deal, you're getting closed and holes and holes?
Which one of your former teammates were you most impressed by? Like as far as them making music.
And rapping my teammates that any.
Former teammate that you heard that music was, like damn he all right.
It's a kid named jam J Moo is really good. He played with me in Denver. He got some hot shit. I just think I should have probably signed him now that I'm thinking about it. And it's just people don't realize, like it's content content. So you got a good song, it's still got to be some content with the song
to support it. And that's what I found out early on, Like, all right, you can put out a song on the song good, but like these motherfuckers want to see something that song is going on, you know what I'm saying. That's just where we at right now in the world, Like everything is click boom. I either want to hear or read it. You get what I'm saying. So I think that's the biggest part with him. And yeah, I
think Jamon I will go with jameson. He can he can go, he can sing, bro, And Marvin Jones was good too.
Bro.
Okay, I don't even know Marvin Jones can sing his as so.

So watch how you coming this thing? Why you like really big.
Niggas like you did?
Yeah? That that what we was listening to before the game.
Back then, though, outside of the collapse that you already have for your projects, who is the one artist that you feel like, I have to get a record.
With this artist I have to, oh for sure, okay when it comes in, Like okay.
If I had to pick two people, I'm kind of bised with the because like we're friends, but like I'll be kind of like leaving my music stuff away from him. Yeah, I'm waiting for him to be all right, Bro, that's hard, Like, yeah.
You don't want to use the friend call. You don't want to use the friend Cary.
I don't want to do that. Yeah, I feel I don't do that.
You want to be genuine. You wanted to be genuine, right God?
Like it? Bro? You here and like people here like they got phones, like.
Yeah they can hear you.
And like I was, I was Wayne fan too, Like I opened Wayne up there too, like bro listening to them.
But but Wayne, did you feel like when they obviously they announced the Super Bowl and halftime show. Wayne felt a little slighted being that it was in New Orleans.
Did you feel like a horrible show? Bro?
You didn't. You didn't enjoy the halftime show?
Did you like it? No?
I didn't.
I did not come to do a Black Power or I don't want I don't give a fuck about what your beliefs is at the middle of fucking halftime, Bro, I want to be entertained. Bro Right, that shit was not entertaining, So the only thing was entertaining was seeing uh Serena Williams with that blue dress on seawalking. But besides that, Like, come on.
Bro, right, do you feel like other players obviously being a player, do you feel like other players probably felt the same way? Like that's not the type of muse we're trying to hear at the halftime?
Yeah, you ain't see all the coming bro. Come on, bro, Rihanna did a fucking performance and she was pregnant, bro running through the air of the motherfucking stadium and you picked up by a goddamn a scream, Bro, Like what are we talking about? Like like, I don't want to see Oh, it's a jail seal, he in the seal, great white and Luke oh this symbol bro. First of all, that's too much thinking for a football players and any fucking fan that is coming to the fucking game to
see the halftime show. You know myself, tickets cost motherfucking tickets twenty thousand dollars.
My boy at the top right away, and one time we got to see Janets titty.
You know what I'm saying, Come on, man, Like I didn't like it, that's just my personal opinion. The halftime show of the Super Bowl we should be entertained.
So you felt like you felt like Wayne Digget slighted in New Orleans fucking.
Right, Like, how do you not bring? Like all right, Kenslam, are you got an hour? You don't bring nobody, you don't bring master p. I mean like it's a whole bunch of fucking New Orleans artists right well on Bourbon Street. These motherfucker like dance and drink. That's what New Orleans about about giving us these complicated songs. And then you only played one fucking song that we know, Okay, right, I would have starked the motherfucker out Paul.
Drinking Super Bowl?
What are we talking about order a hurricane?
Man?
I just looked this dumb though. I just looked at this dumb.
Who would you choose to do the halftime show at at an Atlanta super Bowl at the.
Young Jeezy t I I would, I would go through the whole crew from between. Atlanta is like ninety nine percent of Atlanta rappers. They stick with each other.
Yeah, Atlanta supports Atlanta. That's that's why y'all going on someone.
Right, Like you might have one or two of them that motherfuckers don't fuck with, like one of the ones I just fucking told y'all. But of Atlanta, Like like I ain't nobody coming to Atlanta getting on Atlanta. Like Atlanta niggas put it put together. They wanted to get your ass a body here. That that's how that going in Atlanta. But like I would like to see if its in Atlanta, I would like to see everybody. I would like to see outcast, big boy, what's the name
to come out of retirement? I would like, I'm wanna pass Detroit, Okay till jez Uh Monica? Oh uh? What's Russell Wilson? Girlfriend Sierra Sierra.
Goodies would go crazy at the Super Bowl.
I'm missing one person though, ship t l C.
Luda, what about Luda? No, Luda, Luda, Luda got.
He got from Atlanta. Bro, he's from Chicago, but he got a past. We gave you them a past in Atlanta.
Okay, Chaka too shock for sure? All right, so it's a perfect section of course. No, we know you know, we know you got thugg in there. We know you got thugg in the perfect Seguey. Did you listen to Almaretta's freestyle?

She did, I thought she did.
She broke it down, damn near to the t. Bro.
Yeah, I was surprised. I was surprised that actually at how well she she broke that.
She's really good though, Bro, she's nice.
Yeah, she's nice.
She's really good. Yeah, she got really good word play too. She's smart as hell.
Did you listen to the Larry June and Two Chains Alchemist project that just came out?
Nope, I didn't think so.
But where where does two Chains rank in your your Atlanta Atlanta lists?
But first of all, man to have a relationship. Okay, so like that's my boy. So I ain't trying to ship on ship like that. But like, what are you saying, like in the top rappers out of it?
I think he's one of the most underround And we were saying that he's one of the most underrated rappers out of Atlanta as far from just a skills shot.
How far are you going back? Like when are we starting this play playing circle?
I'll go back, Yeah, I'll go back all the way back to the beginning to Teddy Boy the Dumber Boy.
Yeah, I was in that video. I know.
Do you feel like he's underrated? I feel like, yes, I'm saying I.
Think you get it. I think you get it pretty decent props. Okay, all right, is he top five out of Atlanta?
No?
No, to get top ten out of Atlanta.
I'd have to sit and think.
All right, now, maybe top fifteen.
He's definitely top fifteen. He's definitely top fifteen. I'd have to sit and there he might be play Top fifteen.
Okay, top ten, bro, Come on, bro, like that's a list that's it's tough to be top ten out of Atlanta. Atlanta got a season Rappids.
If you're going like, yeah, depend on how far are you going back? Like, because if you go from like double Bagges, what two thousand.
And four or five, five or six?
Maybe? Yeah, that was like the second album that they put out.
No, I think it got better as he went though, No, for sure, for sure, I think so. He definitely coming from my listen. This was it was my man, bro, like like they had all the weed. Yeah, they pull up on the nigga boy, I'm talking.
About the cap. Yeah.

Hi Pack.
Have you one of your favorite Chicago albums? Future fifty six nights or Hendricks fifty sixth nights? What okay, I thought you was gonna go Hendricks.

Nah don't. We don't know the real story.
So yeah, let's go we was I mean, oh in Dubai. Yeah, okay, hey, show me a picture of you at this time, this nigga etcho ain't got no pictures on Instagram saying that like he famous somethhing locked his ands up for fifty six nights. They came up with that type.
Okay.
Yeah, see, I know a lot of shit that people don't know.
You know what I'm saying, Well, that's what that's what we got you on the call today.
Man, we're trying to get we don't know ball and obviously we don't know Atlanta Lanta story buying a lot of the music in Atlanta either.
What was one of your favorite memories on in the studio.
Uh really just saying all them make it, you know what I mean, Like like I'm not lying, like eight or eight fucking like that whole list. I just told you, Like all them came through a dark studio, bro. Yeah, yeah, shout out to my arm my best friend Chrissy ran all that shit over there. But like, yeah, twenty one Savage Autumn, everybody who popped off from fucking two thousand
or five, six, eight nine was in our studio. So like the best part was like seeing them, Like you know what I mean, when I first met thug shit, that was really dugging, Like I know, Kiki Ship like real c was on for two three days, you get what I'm saying. Yeah, just to see what it is now, Like it's that's probably the most uh satisfaction I probably got on this studio.
What were some of the big records that came out of it? Oh shit, oh shit, that's crazy.
Everything did twenty one Savage Men, trop Bowman, that ship came out of Dark. That's crazy.
Every fucking record, bro, Damn, that's really what every record, bro, Every.
Last one of the motherfuckers. I'm every last one of them.
So now it makes sense why your music sounds so good, like now I understand it, like you really like you're in the mix, like you're right there next to some legendary sound like because when I like, I said the Ferrari, when I played that, I was I'm not gonna lie bro I was like, oh nah, he this record is dope. Like I was not expecting to hear I see Ferrari kid, I'm like, let me hear what pac Man talking about.
But when it came on, so it didn't sound like somebody that is just trying to do this music ship. It sounds like somebody that's been around it, that has come up into music, has been those what sounds to listen for and those what sounds good way to put what has the right people mixing in and producing it.
So now that you do all that myself to just let you know real, I sit there, record boom clip put boom. Listen boom clip boom.
You record out of protests?
Yeah, pros way.
Way wait wait packed hold on, hold on, you recorded.
They got on the studio and don't know how it happens though, being rich and don't know how to check my fucking statements.
Someone, no, no, no, I get what you get that Rick what you said, But I was not expecting you to say that you record and mix your own ship.
Yeah that is I know. I know, I know how I wanted to sound, and I expect that I don't use other people. But like at my studio at home. Yeah, like this ship that this new ship that I'm dropping right now. Yeah, I wish I could know what I got like do it. You're gonna love this beach.

No no no no no no no no no no no no no no. I am very talented and the things that I do, and I'm not doing nothing if I know I can't do it. Man, it ain't pretty too much of nothing that I can't do when it comes to talking, ship, rapping on the beat, performing or anything when it comes to content like I can do.
Yeah, we just had Leangelo Ball at the NBA All Star Week and performance record.
