Soda cans time, here's your girl soda. What's up? Hey? You play gotta have some real discussions. I need answers. What's you're talking about? So we're talking to Cube today kind of podcasts. Yeah, because you know he's coming to Oakland with that Big Three basketball tournament that he does the three on three. You know, there's the discussion about Caitlin. Yeah, is she gonna be coming, Is she gonna be a part of the squad, because that's you know, a situation. She's a star basketball player in

the sweet sixteen right now. Yeah, but will she come over and be a part of Cubes's league when she's done with that. We're gonna talk about that. Mm hmmm uh. And you know I gotta ask about Diddy oh good, not the Diddler diego, you know. And of course it just celebrate the fact that Cube has been so successful with this Big Three basketball tournament, and you know, first stop is Oakland, so we're gonna have to

stand up and represent. It's about to go down, man. I believe Jude fifteenth is what supposed to pop off out here at the Oakland Arena. Yeah, And tickets went on sale or going on sale March twenty ninth, ten am at Big three dot Com slash tickets, So make sure you hop in there and get that. But let's get O'Shea on the phone. Hey we are Cube over here. Cube, what's up? It was? How were you? Sir? All good? All good as usual, right,

blest. So we're talking about this Big Three coming back to the Bay. Oh hell yeah, you know we're coming back. We can't wait. You know we was Jews man. The last time you was out here, Brad definitely was a spectacle. Yeah, I'm talking about so for this season, bron and see y'all gonna be tipping off and Oakland, Bro, what made you want to go ahead and start out here in the town. Yeah,

I mean, you know we're tipping off out there in the Bay. Like like you said, last time we was there, we had a great time. We just you know, we were just peeping off the Bay and peeping off Oakland and a lot of teams are leaving and we like, yo, let's go show Oakland's love man and start our season there. It's on my birthday, so it's gonna be look at that Big Three birthday baths. You know what I'm saying with it, that's what solo. So that means I'm

assuming Mount Westmore gonna be performing during halftime. Okay, what's up? Only right? You never know, you never know. We's gonna be in the house, you know. You know what I'm saying. Put at the back signal and we'll see who show up. A ton of folks. You know, forty want to be there all day. It's like I'm not telling you without a doubt, you know. Uh yeah, Forty would always come through there, you know, uh too short. But we want everybody from the

Bay, you know what I mean. I love to have Hammer come through, you know and show some love. So we won't. We want, you know, as many OG's from the Bay, the new school from the Bay to just come through. Man, have a good time. Ain't nothing hotter in the summer than us. So it's going down, no, I know. I know last year, bro, you took the Big three you know International, which all first game over there in Europe in London. Man, how was that movement? And like, what can we expect with this

year because I know you're only doing it bigger and better. Yeah, you know, it was great to be able to go and show the world this game. You know, we've been in Toronto. You know, we came to the Bahamas one year. So you know, that's what's great about the Big Three. We can kind of be anywhere. You know, our games are once a week, so all of our games have stakes. And it's cool because you know, we in Oakland week one, were in Tampa week

two. Uh, so we could be anywhere in the world pretty much with this league, and that's what's great about it. It's like a rolland all star game. Right, So you know, we were don't have fun with it, uh, you know, signing new players and just you know, make sure the league is Roland like it's supposed to. And we're gonna have a party without a doubt, so I know, I mean it's clear or why you would pick someone like Caitlyn Clark to be a part of the three

on three. Right, So what's the latest on that five million dollar deal? And I saw people making comments like, oh, if Caitlyn plays, she ain't gonna score one point, blah blah blah, Like there's been a lot of talk around it. I mean that's the debate. Uh. We just happy to be able to to, you know, provide the opportunity. Of course, you know, she moving numbers. If you really look at the games she play in. You know, some of the ratings are bigger

than the NBA. So you know, we it's only right for us to try to get her to elevate the league. You know, everybody gonna eat. You know, she come to the league without a doubt, So it's just a it's just a great offer. I think it's a great time for women in sports, uh, to start elevating this pay. The men get paid a lot, so it's time for the women to start getting paid. So is it still up in the air. Has she agreed, she rejected

her what's happening. It's still up in the air. You know, we uh, we were talking to her agents, and you know this has been in the works for a minute. It kind of just leaked yesterday. So you know we're just uh, you know, trying to get an answer, trying to get some love. Hopefully she'll decide to play. You know, I think it'll be you know, should be taking a big step to me for for women in sports. If she did play, it's gonna be breaking

down some real barriers. Man. You know, maybe maybe let her finish off with the Sweet sixteen. Yeah, that's why we was kind of holding off. You know, she got business at hand, and uh it leaked, so we had we didn't want to deny it and uh lie about it. So we just we confirmed, you know that we made her offer.

And you know what's cool is it's our sponsors. You know, they really want her, so you know we're able to make a generous offer because you know, we know the league will elevate with her being a part of it, right and c double a scoring leader now you know what I'm talking about, knocked off pistol Pete Marrivich and that honestly would make her probably one of the highest, if not the highest bad female athletes in the world. Bro. So you know that's that's big teams right there, BRO, without a

doubt. You know, we know we couldn't come week with it, especially you know, we're trying to convince her to uh to take this historical step, and you know we just you just never know, you know, she's gonna do it or not, but we want to make sure we we showed how much the Big three really wants her to be a part of the league. So how many how many of these interviews you already done for the Big Three moving around the tour? Is this the first one we've done a few?

Okay, yeah, I think we've done one or two, you know, not a lot. Gay, We want to make sure we talk to y'all. You know, you guys have always showed us love up there, and we want to show some love back, and you know, make sure we can get y'all in there and be able to talk about the game, because that's the most important thing. We coming with the Big Three, you know, with or without her, were coming. Yeah, So this is

my question. Let's have a car and I'm trying to be respectful, and I know you probably ain't gonna answer, but when I say, Diddy, you can choose to be silent. You could make a couple of words. You could be like no comment, like you know, or whatever your perspective is on just basically in general, the stuff that goes on in Hollywood that people don't really know about, whether it's true or not, doesn't really matter. It's just like, you know, I know you've seen some stuff,

que so well, you know, I haven't seen that much stuff. You know, I've heard about a lot of stuff, you know, what I'm saying. Yeah, I heard about a lot of stuff, but you know, I think every industry you know, has just outrageous peace people. So you know, you can look at every industry almost and there's people that that do it, you know, on a whole other level everybody ain't really with. So you know, the music industry is no different, movie industry is

no different. It's probably in sports, there's probably some in radio, you know what I mean. Y'all probably got some stories about you know, some of these people behind the scenes who you know, act like they got more power than they really do. And so, you know, I think every industry, especially a money making industry, you know, all the people who don't want to get involved in that extra stuff, you know, just got to look out and be diligent. Right, Yes, it's easy to fall

into. Man, there's a lot of people that have been like I just had to telling no, don't want to party with you. All money ain't good money. Giving up giving up your morals for fame ain't cool in no way, shape or form. So you know, sometimes it's better to stay where you at than always trying to reach and if you know, people want you to do things that you know you ain't supposed to be doing. Man, you gotta you got to back up and try another route. I don't

mind going a long way. I don't need the shortcut. I don't need the shortcuts. I go the long way. That's the truest stuff I'm on here today. Period take the long route sometimes that's shortcut and get you caught up all right. Well, tickets as tomorrow ten am, Big three dot com slash tickets.
