Welcome back to another ep of history is dank, dude.

I'm your host, Strider Wilson, dude.

We got Aaron Beeston it on the sticks, dude.

What up, Aaron?

What up?

Dude, chilling, dude.

And we got an extra special mother fucking tree in the house right now, maybe you saw his name in the ep description

just maybe that's why you clicked a little extra quick we got the legend in the house dude

j t par what up dudes that was a fucking fire intro man. You sounded like mean Gene from like the WWF days there. Dude, let's day, baby. When you said you made the click extra quick, you didn't know you were going to rhyme. You found that halfway through. Exactly. And I honestly didn't even realize it rhymed till now. But that's when you're like super in sync, you know, flow state. Yes. The things they weave together, they connect. It just happens, dude. It's that accidental beauty. It's just the universe coming together. That's like when you're young and you accidentally make a better joke than the one you intended to make. And then people kind of catch you and they're like, hey, did you mean that? And then you just got to quickly. You need a lie. You got to lie. Always lie. To the young people out there, never say you didn't mean to do it. Always take the credit. Correct. Because you might have meant to do it on a deeper subconscious level. You may not have known you meant to do it, but I believe in you. Yes. And then if they ask you, what did you exactly mean from that? Then you double down and you go, did you not get it? Right. Question them. Or you say an artist never explains. Even better. Look, the muse touched me. I listen. I respond to the touch. The best. I remember growing up, my dad would be like, Strider. Shut up, bitch. Oh, every, 100%. He would go, in the way he would say, he would say, he would say his subtext was shut up, bitch. And it would come out, he go, less is more. Isn't it funnier, too? Like, I always think, especially as I get older and I've become more and more like my father, I'll reflect on things that I perceived as rude or petty or childish from him. Yeah. And then I look back and I go, fucking guy had a point. Oh, dude, yeah. Well, dude, I would be saying too much stupid shit and he'd go, go practice your bounce pass. And I would just go outside and bounce pass the ball against the garage dude good advice from your dad but also you just picking up that

advice and taking it outside and listening yeah and guess what I have fire bounce passes

and a bounce pass is beautiful it is everyone loves like lebron highlights I'm sure there's a whole

highlight on his bounce passing like distance bounce passes there's just something so much cooler about them than your typical pass.

It's so true. It's just the math. It's because it's genius. It's the math you're doing in your mind. Yeah, dude. Like when Jay Kid, who is my favorite point guard growing up, he would sometimes like toss it almost like a rugby ball and put some English on it and you would see it like

bounce to the outside of a defender's knee and then like, you know, take a new angle in to, you know, Kenyon Martin or Richard Jefferson or one of the primo athletes he was being flanked by all athletes, not good basketball players. Like who else was the good basketball? Like that net's team was the worst team to make the in the finals. Probably. Who else was good on that team? Okay, so the starting lineup was Jason Kidd, Kerry Kittles. Kittles. I like Kittles. Keith Van Horn the first, Antonin. And then it was Kenyon Martin at the four. And then I think at the five, it was first

Todd McCullough. And then I think they traded for Dekembe Matumbo. Dekembe. I think he was on that team.

I might be wrong. the five, it was first Todd McCullough, and then I think they traded for Dekembe Matambo.

Dekembe? I think he was on that team. I might be wrong. I know he was on the six. There's 100%, but they traded for him from the Nuggets because they made that push. And then Alan Iverson did. He was the best. I don't think I ever cared about sports more than I did, Because I was like 12 at that time, or maybe like, yeah, I was 13 at that time.
