fun and time is went fast I always say this when lucky to have these jobs where we get to sit with Incredible people that in all cases we're fans of but we also learn a lot while we're here right yes here's the more great conversations Great Moments and of course great style always great style here's the season 7 Cheers [Music] Cheers best thing about my daughter is that we're similar just just the light just the light just the light that's why we Clash now because she knows how to get she know

what you care about and what she knows what to get out of me and how to go about it you know what I mean like and that's the most just like you mother you through them hard them late teens that when when they like defining themselves like that that that's when you really the most mother first boyfriend she walked in I said who is this little I was talking to her mom it was at my house I said yo who's this little sitting at she said what you think he looks just like you no he doesn't and then I h

ad to step back and I was like damn he looked just like me that's that's I'm in the I it my daughter is like my best friend yeah but when we have our moments we have our moments the thing we've connected now she like Dad thanks for showing up I go to therapy with my daughter I never been to therapy in a relationship the first first time I ever did it with somebody her and I when we sit there and sometimes I'll be like I be like ma don't say it I'll be like you I got to say it don't it be like yo

u're going to say say what the facts this not that's not what happened I'm but then I learned and go but doesn't matter because that's how she feels so I got to appreciate that and understand that's the thing like guys we got to learn to deal with it you know cuz we don't necessarily operate from feelings you know we Stu our somebody feel something you know they like what you what you feel the magic word showing up showing up that's and cuz if you don't somebody else is going to show up right th

at's that's a great point be a little Nelly showing up singing Melodies and everything some waves how tall are you 63 63 he going to be at least 6 ft when he come walking through your door at 1617 for prom I promise you he going to at least be 6 feet a bet on anything and the hair is going to be similar [Laughter] said I want to know what you were doing when you saw the clips or heard the chat like were you just minding your business at home he was man like I'm not really I'm not an internet lov

e everybody got to think about it I'm truly a like I'm not sitting around watching the internet like that's not what I do so everybody was hitting me like yo people start calling me right away hey you know and then people don't know St Louis people are very s oh no you know I hit you yo what's up the to I'm like about what hey what when dud pull up what who bro he said they was like cat I was like oh that's the same it's literally do it's just some it's one of those things for me like comedy is

a is a is definitely a space where we hear we hear jokes sure but for me that was a situation where he was I he was claiming cultural appropriation in my opinion that's all I feel like driving a old car rolling down the window that's 70s that's what anybody any if I ask anybody like how you drive your car that's that you can't say my joke about a spaceship is your joke about driving a car cuz we doing the same gestures that's my opinion about it but been doing them gestures since the and what hy

pocrisy about it is he stole JB smooth joke again for me I I appreciate Young Gun I think he dope and not as not for that he did but I'm talking about as a comedian and so I'm like I been around this dude many times which was my whole point we've never had a personal conversation about that so why is it this right because if we if we rock with each other and I see you and you like that you feel that way then say that to me like don't do that later like then and that's what I didn't really apprec

iate because and you know more than anything like you can have your opinion about the joke his fans his people who love him all that like I I don't wake up worried about that dog i' I've been doing this I I am me by the way coach first off we got to say thank you for having the shop in your house for two straight championships congratulations thank you coach of the NBA now I've won two championship WNBA along the conversation we talking about feelings men how what's the biggest difference coachi

ng men versus women feeling um no uh you know what I I think everybody just has their own personality there's some guys that are a little bit more outgoing there's girls that are more outgoing some that are just you know more reserved and I think it's just getting to know the athlete and I think at the end of the day if you can help them win doesn't matter male female they want to win they want to win and if you know what you're talking about it could be Kermit the Frog telling them they're goin

g to do it if if you've built that trust and that relationship with them so I had a great time the guys are never the problem the players are never the problem and I think for women women care more they're smarter for sure they're SM they care more they care more about the game they care more about women guys we'll just take our check yeah sure after a while you know what I'm saying like a lot of guys we do care we have a lot of guys that care but there are some who don't that's same way you and

what makes women's basketball so great is that they care they they they'll die they'll bust their head they'll do that a guy running towards out of bounds he's like ah executive decision exactly out I on a contract wom I love watching women's I love it too love I mean what Caitlyn Clark WNBA is awesome Caitlyn Clark outr an NBA game her game outr an NBA game you must love that right yeah no it's crazy cuz I I think the evolution of women's basketball like it used to be cool to kind of bash on i

t and it always used to to tick me off because it's like all right come out here and get some then you think you're so good like if we had a dollar for every YMCA guy that came up and was like let's play you going to say bum say I heard it you know like stop stop and I think the uh obviously the visibility but um at the end of the day I'll be real straightforward here NBA gu showing up because when the women's game and I think that's one of the greatest losses you know with Kobe for I think the

women's gay meik he personally popularized that orange hoodie and that that advocacy of like no this is this is legit like game recogniz game recognizes game and at the end of the day you watch what these women do and I'm like they're just and first of all they're getting better and better like they're better than when I play for real and what Becky was talking about like guys okay hold on I have to piss bad is just go it's a Go's going to T there one right out that door what door house that doo

r there's one right out there just turn to the right get my key out let me let you back in by the way Nelly there's no urinals in there no there's men and women we're accepting of everybody use the bedet said does it make you at all sad when you see like cat come out and all these people Monique and everybody in it's all black Comics white Comics don't do that do you does it make you sad at all like that was just us yeah I mean mainly mainly because of the idea that it's just such it the attacks

end up being personal and they end up getting personal and they get more personal to the people that love you more than you right because that's what I feel like in in in both of these situations like I can I can handle the ridicule I can even handle the accusation for me because I wake up being me I don't really worry about it but for the people that love me and you know you you realize it touched them so personally that it's it it hurts folks right that's what I really don't like about it and

then of course it it it causes for the what they call like when people do copycats yes so you got the copycat crime now now everybody got something to say about it is old it's like bringing up stuff like when what happened in 8 and n and said you what we talking fact you've been in the game a long time a super long amazing career yeah in this world of Nell's back oh yeah I ass twice too um in this in this age to your point of internet people like picking apart everything you said and did he off

end this person where comic's job is to make us have fun and laugh is this the hardest time ever to be a comedian I would think so man I mean cancel culture now and all that cancer culture you don't know where the line is and it is and it is an opportunity for so many people to have voices right so any joke anything phrased wrong you know however you phrase it it is a counter side to that triggered somebody and and even the people that get triggered are now offended that you said truthful stuff

too is the stuff that gets canceled I'm like he's saying the exact truth yeah and the thing thing about it is that it is a combination of people just kind of again piling on so that it is but again if you're aor if you're a person that got to say what you got to say when you walk on stage you try to calculate the the risk of what it is you want to say and you say it like if you're a writer of a song and you got a way that you want to phrase it you can only work it work yourself through it 19 tim

es before you say this the way I feel it I don't give a damn it's how this the way I feel it I'm just going to say it no you also had your first joint was one of the biggest in the history of music did you think it was just going to be like that cuz you were young too how old were you no we was just how were you um I was okay here's the thing originally originally you know when you get your deal and we got a deal in the 90s in 99 so back then they had all these things artist development do all o

f this and all of that right so technically when I got my deal I was 20 three I had just you know like 23 the record label just put it out 20-year-old Nelly I said the check cleared I don't give 20y oldy 20y old Nelly but 20y old Nelly I don't give you know what I'm saying they were like no but you look you look like your 20 should I say something or should I not but again the check cleared I didn't care so they said I was 20 when I first came out but I knew and everybody around me and the whole

you City knew man that man graduated in 93 okay whatever it's working back you ever play in the Little League World Series no I didn't because I was just hoping to go gold I go gold I go on tour I can make a little money I'll open up a liquor store Car Wash laundromats Barber Shop yeah you know I'm saying Hey listen straight to it shop cuz our group was naturally created in a barber shop you know what I'm saying like Leroy Barber Shop shout out to Leroy um and that was our whole thing so I'm th

inking yo get this money we open up our own shop get a couple pxs which was liquor stores so and I thought that that would be it and the first day that the album dropped Universal presented me with a gold record and I was like I was damn near in tears and you know we just was for did you not because my point is like your was so massive instantly you were the most famous rapper in the world all a sudden tell you it's so crazy cuz we as said and I know he probably yeah he probably wish he could go

back in a time travel he did the intros on Country Grammar if you listen to the commercials and the skits he did those on Country Grammar but he did those for a little of nothing yeah little little of nothing and I mean hold on and really no on the album he was like we offered everything like yo he was like nah you know y'all just getting started don't worry about it we'll knock it out it's nothing you know y'all from the loop he did it I would love that's goes 10 million he's like yo what the

Yeah that's crazy where are those points that's why wow that's the one you go like that's crazy that's crazy crazy did do your thing yeah that was about 4 million but that's crazy he man but I did you know what I did get a platinum record though I never got the money thank you Nelly I did get something y'all they presented me with the Platinum my name said you did it was no money I was looking in the back to see if it's check but I I got that that's nice man but you was was you expecting like oh

I'm now Nelly like no we didn't know and the thing about it is when you're going through it you still don't know you have no recollection you're just working doing it you're just working and you about to go on tour now right with Janet yeah yeah yeah it's dope it's dope I wasn't going to go but why' you consider not potentially doing the going on tour with her well the only thing I was saying was I had got to a point I wasn't opening for nobody jelli you know what I'm saying well well I was jus

t at that point I mean but it's freaking Janet Jackson she's just a dope person and she's like Nelly you have to go I gotta go you know what saying like we're going to have so much fun it's gonna be okay I love that's Vibe I'm about to do a residency with Tony BR right here in Vegas and that's the fun idea like beautiful right you got the you got the dope music good times together how did that come together has that been done before you know not not in a real way not it was one of the things tha

t you know Vegas has been trying to grow and trying to grow the shows of course you know shout out to ush Usher just made the idea of being here and bringing real like Urban entertainment do but the idea of like doing you know a really great comedian and beautiful love songs and this idea that these are the things that we share as culture you know you like good music we going to love we going to be with our people and then you want a good laugh in that combination we going to do some fun you kno

w sunny and share in a way like we're going to have fun with it you know clothes and doing thing you know people be surprised Tony funny she unique you know these are things that she gets to get out of herself and not necessarily just being super Diva like she can to have fun on stage and we'll do some really cool things together so like even this the skit she going be that's funny are you writing all the are you writing we got a combination yeah I'm WR most of still braxon is not Williams not y

et I don't believe Cedric Cedric how the tour idea come together well uh mainly man a good friend of mine Demetrius he thought of the idea and then uh you know and then her manager they all everybody kind of thought like you know this would be something fun to do so you know it was mainly from the the creative you know the creatives in how did bman feel you know what Birman was like you know respect he respect that's my guy I love oh man that's myy guy got that's the guy right there Nell you've

had a ton of success you have three Grammys three three Grammys yes sir Killer Mike who's been on the show yes sir just won three Grammys congratulations swept itep none of them were televised though right how's that still happening in in 24 uh I don't know you know what I'm saying it's one of those situations to where you you you would just hope that the Grammys get it together when you won all three of yours did you used to go did you used to go to the show all the time first of all I wasn't e

ven nominated for best new artists at the Grammys understand that Country Grammar was 5 million and I didn't even get nominated as Best New Artist because my album came out in 2000 so I wasn't even on the ballad in 200 one the great talented well-deserving Miss Alicia Keys won right and she should have won yeah she should have won in 2001 but I wasn't even how are you not nomin nominated Country Grammar is not even nominated Nelly's not even nominated for Best New Artist ever in how did you feel

about that uh I was I was I was I was pissed I mean you know what I'm saying but what are you going to do because I'm fairly new I don't know if I got the right to even be pissed because these are the Grammys and you put so much stock into what they what they know and what they do when you're a brand new artist until you get to be have the blessings and the knowledge to Someone Like H to be able to get up there take their award and cuss their out at the same time right like you can only hope to

be that Nelly coming from the L did you ever have chip on your shoulder cuz everything was La New York we always talk about that with the Midwest MAV like goddamn right yeah goddamn right but you got to understand my era of music was the toughest era in hip-hop ever ever when I put out songs I had to go against DMX Jay-z Eminem Little Wayne 50 Cent Luda n all of us are fighting yeah for one spot so in from two from 99 to like 20081 it's the hardest era ever Becky you're obviously an incredible

coach records numbers speak for themselves there's been convers about there will eventually at some point be a woman head basketball coach in the NBA do you feel there's an unnecessary importance in that meaning like meaning like you've already reached the Pinnacle of coaching You've Won With sitting in your the home you help build right back-to-back championships would that mean that much more to you being an NBA coach than the success you've already had I think it used to okay I think it used

to I think that was the goal I'm so happy here and I have so much joy coming to coach these women every day their Vibe I don't know if you know our group but they're they're I mean being the Champs don't hurt of course back to back problem bus over here but you know what I mean I got calls and I to interview this last year and I just said thank you but no thank you oh really you got calls you didn't even interview you didn't take interviews no I did not but I want to go back to something you sai

d about the Grammys and not being nominated and the cuz here's what people don't see is they see they don't see the pain and the disappointment in these very personal moments there was some moment where it's like I don't need your validation anymore and I guess that's where I I I I land a little bit on the NBA I like challenges but like I don't need it to tell me that I can coach it and just because you're you might be like can do it doesn't mean you should do it all the time right sure but I go

t to push back on that because part of that I think is it's nothing wrong we're humans we care we like to be liked it feels good to be liked so if somebody or something doesn't like you sometimes especially amongst black men we like if I say man that hurt me when he said that or she said that it's like what that hurt you so we don't ever get a why you in your feeling your my dad is like that for sure that's that therapy I'm learning said I'm learning so I say people helping you for real she's re

ally helping me that's my homie that's my friend my daughter everything but it's sometimes people don't always tell the truth about that like like if you lose you know I lost that hurts that sucks if if I went for something a job and I didn't get it I wanted that I didn't get it like I think people can be more forthcoming about that too let me ask you guys this you guys have all been great and are in the legend icon phase of your careers meaning like the amount of success you've had the longevit

y of it when did you guys realize it was a business right you played ball you were an incredible basketball player you love to play you wrapped incredible incredible Community when did you realize oh it's not just about the love this is also a business how soon in your career is that you realize that I would say at about 30 right it's like oh I'm not going to be able to play Forever I better start well that's late yeah think about that I'm saying late as a as a professional athlete that is late

in your career for sure but we weren't making a lot of money either so it was just like the love I love to play basketball like I have loved it I mean if there's two things I love it's basketball and Jesus and then I just go and but I've been a basket seem like that should be in a movie there two things I love is basketball and Jesus we'll be right back after and did you at that moment were you like I'm going to be a coach um and did you say you want to be a coach in the NBA when did that how di

d that no so I was doing some women's broadcasting for like the Pack 12 and and they were walking off we had just called their game and the losing coach was like walking back and the the the analyst was like see that's why like TV is the best you have you never have to leave the gym a loser and I was like yep it's not for me cuz you can't ever win a win you can't leave a winner yes so that was kind of my like aha moment that I was like okay I'm going to get into coaching because at the end of th

e day the people that had impact on me were coaches teammates the relationships that I built so I decided i' I'd much rather be in the business like in it with them than talking about him and how did the coaching in the NBA come about yeah yeah and I and and and to his point did did you feel people were actually when did you you know people were actually taking your criticism to heart and not just listening to you good because I mean obviously you got the shirt on yeah you know what I'm saying b

ut actually feeling like you're getting through to some of the players because I mean you know I know coach and he's a nelly fan so oh I know to in a in a hotel yeah yeah hell yeah oh I love him to death we were like on our third dinner about eight bottles in at that point let drink too he L his wine yeah so um I was coming off a knee inj injury and he called me I so normally I'd be overseas playing in Russia and um I blew my knee out so I was there rehabbing and I asked if I could come to the l

ike all the practices and just kind of watch and he called me and he was like well you why don't you come to all our coaches meetings too so I was like I would do rehab at you know 7:00 in the morning shower go over to spr first facility and go to their coaches meeting and then watch practices fast forward you know 6 seven months they won the championship they beat Miami I was playing he called me offered me the job and I was like yeah I'm yeah yes iately no I I was like let me think about it ye

s you going to play it smoth yeah yeah yeah and then you know I was with him eight years was there any player at first out of the men that you knew that you connected to that was really like horning in on your advice and on your Insight at the time that you felt that helped him well like I was really good friends with Tony Parker like me and him were okay real tight he's like my little brother so respect was never an issue yeah but when you talk about different relationships and trying to connec

t like the guys come in they hug me they a hugging no assistant coaches they're they're they're doing this they see me they hug me which is it's just different I'm not saying it's better it's worse it's a different kind of connection and it's a different kind of respect if I'm being honest oh yeah bringing a little full circle we're talk about 99 word on the streets Masters selling Masters you talk about that a little bit like that also I want you to talk about it from two points of view okay th

ere's Nelly the artist there's Coral Hayes the businessman what's the when you how you fil through both through both of those you can never really sell anything like that forever technically at least so in like 30 years it comes back it revers back right so if I ain't took the little 50 mil and made nothing happen in 30 years then I need my whooped anyway you see what I'm saying like but you know you hear a lot of people I would never do it I would never do it why wouldn't you do it that's your

Equity that's your goal like that's why you would never have generational wealth because what you don't understand is that that's what you're Ving for it every time LeBron steps on that Court he's doing the same thing with his body his body is his health sure that's his Equity right yep if he can lease that out for 30 years but what you just said Nelly is a point you can call it economics you can call it Financial engineering it's something we don't get taught and you have to people make these d

ecisions every day you have an asset that generates cash flow it's X cash flow yeah somebody is willing to pay you why the question becomes it's not selling it or not cuz people saying they not selling it to me are always saying it's like a pride and ego thing yeah which if you don't it's like a business it's same thing with a business if you don't want to sell it there's no problem with that but it's a simple math thing can you can I make why worth more than x was paying me year-over-year if yo

u take the money and go buy rolls-royces and jewelry then you made a bad decision exactly if you take the money you pay your taxes and then take the money and turn into more money then you take that cuz he's going to buy other assets go buy buildings what man say pay your taxes that down down is Uncle Sam in one of these cameras he's everywhere but his point is right that we never learned making money it's like cuz we always come up we don't have no money you just want to make some moneyy make m

oney make money you actually realize if you talk to very wealthy people they will tell you money becomes a problem they have assets because if you once you get money you got to pay taxes but if you own the building it gains value you don't pay taxes you can borrow against it you can it's all what he just said is the key what does he do with the 50 no but I think you're taught like you're trying to get to a certain spot and then you think that's going to make you happy and then you get to that sp

ot and you ain't happy at the end of the day you can't snuggle with your $100 bills no like and and and I'll just go back to the you know as a as an athlete you have you have a shelf life yeah you ain't making this money for the rest of your life now if you invest it right and do the right business moves yes it will make money for you but the problem is is we get these big chunks of money as kids and then we don't teach them how to make money off their money 100% And that's a big problem in the

NBA or just professional sports in general you get this big chunk of money and then by the time you're out the league three four years you're broke sure and it's like how and it's because of that I think lack of investment but also just like somebody needs to take these some of these guys under their wings and make hey let's do this business partners business moves and I think you see it more and more it's becoming like popular like you see all the guys dipping in wine dipping in like they becom

e businessmen they're they're they're Enterprises every individual is an Enterprise um on an NBA floor but I was always a hustler yeah of course and I'm I'm not and I don't mean to say that I I I don't know who's watching but statues and limitations are far gone by now but listen but I'm just saying like I think you got calculated risk though you going you on a certain deal you went and bad on yourself because I always know at the end of the day I know how to make money I know I just know I I I

I've always known saving money investing money that's the key to learning making money was never my key to learning I knew how to do that so who taught you how to in like my mom my mom my mom worked I imagine when you first started making a my mom worked in fast food restaurants for 35 to 40 years and if you ever worked at a McDonald's dairy cream rallies or any of that you know how hard work that is and it's constant and my mom did it for over 30 years she got me my first job my first job came

when I was 14 years old um uh homecoming was coming up at high school my mom said I got 50 bucks that's the most I can give you she said but what I can give you cuz she was a manager at the McDonald's in Clayton Missouri shout out to L yeah and she said yo I can't give you a real job but on the weekends they got truck and if you know anything about truck in the morning that's when they come and they stock the freezers and all that other and they be needing people to take it off the thing she sai

d yo I can give you a job there I said cool I'll take it and the owner would pay me $25 boom boom boom so I wound up getting about $140 by time you know homecoming came which was a lot for me being a Freshman you know what I'm saying so she taught me how to work my mama has never not had a job until I pulled up at rallies after Country Grammar and say yo tell them you done yeah and I'll take some large fries tell them you quit and she's like what are you talking about I said tell them you quit I

was thinking about you Maverick in the sense that you you you've also become known as a prolific deal maker right now people would emulate actors and Comedians and and rappers but now people want to be you guys like you got a whole generation of folks that think it's easy to be the the dealmaker the the Mover and Shaker in the world I don't know if people would know the journey or how you feel when you are the only person in the room when you do have to be creative when you when you do take one

thing and turn it into another right like what just talk about that I would say um I was I got very lucky blessed by God to have one skill I once saw a quote in in life by Albert Einstein it resonated the like more than anything with me which was I have no special talent I'm just passionately curious so I was I've been blessed um I had one of those grandmothers my my family I think I told both of Y from from a little tiny place in Missouri my dad's side called Mexico Missouri you have you ever

heard of Mexico yeah from right there t t is from T from yes exactly so I grew up with a grandmother who ran in after hours that's how I got my name Maverick she was her favorite TV show was ma the 60 show who was a cowboy and a card player wait a minute hold on your mother ran the after hours my grandmother your grandmother ran after hours in Cleveland no she started in in Mexico she started in Mexico so my grandmother and my grandfather my grandfather was a construction worker wait a minute I

know about Mexico she ran a half hours in Mexico for sure she was Popp Miss Carter to the day we had to make her stop statutes of limitations we had to make her stop my grandfather couldn't when you was a construction worker back then as a black man you couldn't keep a job they would hire you for a short time do a job so they went from Mexico to jolad Illinois which is another Little Town out sou Chicago y Racing Wisconsin and then they landed in a where I'm from but the whole way black family s

tyle my grandmother had seven kids in n and a half years talk about hustling yeah my mom would pull up on a Friday and my grandmother's I was like 6 years old front door and she said get out the car and go in there somebody somebody in there before the door got open she be P she go go I look back nobody she burn r and and I would be there until Sunday night yeah my mom was 22 when she had me her and my dad they was out in the streets popping but in that learning that I learned to understand and

Sandler wanted he wanted me to play that role got so I get it and that's probably why I don't I I I don't knock a process for anything if I if I choose not to participate in that Pro in that process it's just like it's just different like going into reading is very humbling very hum you know what I'm saying you're sitting in there and I didn't sit no matter who you are you treated they're like are you sent in you know you're sitting in front of a whiteboard audition tapes and you're reading to y

ourself and you're trying to talk to yourself like what is this this is the most corniest I've ever talked in my life like I'm not talking to anybody I just yeah and who do you think you are Mr Mailman yeah you know you know what mean like and I hate that part of it and I just always do things that are more geared towards knowing that they want Nelly I I I I'm blessed for that I'm not saying that I'm special or anything because I understand that reading it's like wanting to be a rapper but hatin

g to go to the studio yeah you see what I'm saying like no like I love I love being in the studio you know what I mean but I understand that and that's the thing it's just like the most humbling part for me I I commend y'all I don't know how you do it all of these guys they look like set they all sitting out there you're just like well what one of my favorite guilty pleasures I'm doing this show is sitting with people like you know I've been a fan of yours since of Liberty fan of your since they

e that so I'm doing it's like or you looking at where's the opportunity I think it's both I think it's both as you grow and as you have success then you learn to get into things that you love I think when you're starting that's a great Point you'll do whatever the hell you need to do to try and make some money to get yeah because that's what a lot of brothers in the hood quote unquote that hustle a different way they like man it's all I did that's all I'mma do that's all I know no that ain't or

their risk is greater or their risk is greater than their rewarded and you can be much more I I I I don't knock anything I what I don't like a lot of times and we get this in hip-hop a lot and I just hate hypocrisy bro like it's not righteous hypocrisy is not righteous and that's what I was saying about listen I love cat I love cat but I hate the hypocrisy yes yeah cuz when he was rolling you you stole JB smooth's joke bro you stole it your very first Netflix special when you came out talking ab
