Episode 19: NBA Finals, USA Basketball, Bronny, and Kobe vs Bron

We sat down to discuss some sports topics that we haven't had the opportunity to speak on like the NBA Finals, USA Basketball, and NBA Summer League. This eventually led us into a debate on Kobe not being in the GOAT debate. Y'all let us know what you think in the comments. We will be inviting others on in the future to have these discussions with us. #USABasketball #Sports #NBAFinals #Kobe #Lebron #CanWeTalkNetwork

Episode 18: HomeGrown Worldwide & Fountain of Youth "3rd Annual Skills Development Camp"

I pulled up to the 3rd Annual Skills Development Camp in Alachua, FL to chop it up with some local NFL and college talent. The Philadelphia Eagles', Quinyon Mitchell, 22nd pick of the NFL draft was present and I had the opportunity to catch up with him and his dad. Overall, this was a great camp for our local youth and I love what the guys are doing for our area. #CanWeTalkNetwork #MenCanWeTalk #DadCanWeTalk #HGWW #FOY #SXC #SupremeLinemen

Episode 17: Newberry High School Football

It's been a long time coming, bt we finally made it happen! There has been a lot going on in the small town of Newberry, but there are some big voices that had something to say concerning the noise. We pulled up on Coach Ed Johnson and his crew to talk all things football and his recent reinstatement as the head football coach. We also got into some of the local rivalries and there plans to knock off the back-to-back state champion Hawthorne Hornets next year. We were able to hear the perspective of two Newberry players on last season and what they're aiming for next season. You don't want to miss this great interview!

Episode 16: 4fmariii & BikeLife

For episode 16, we posted up at Fortitude Gym in east Gainesville. We had the opportunity to sit with two sharp young brothers and discuss the Bike Life. If you live in Gainesville, FL you have probably witnessed Z3 riding around town doing some of the most amazing tricks on his bike. So I reached out to him to hear his story. I must say, this was personally one of my favorite interviews. I love to see young men doing something positive, and he's all about "put the gun down and pick up a bike". I love the message. And the fact that he is taking other young brothers like KShorty under his wing is admirable✊🏽 Y'all go subscribe to his YouTube channel  @4fmariii  [https://studio.youtube.com/channel/UCJg9SRyW73UYpsWCZKikOMg]. We always talk about how these young boys be out here throwing their lives away, well let's support this young brother who's trying to do the opposite. Please excuse our video quality on this one, we had some camera issues. #ChangingTheNarrative #BikeLife #GainesvilleFL #CanWeTalk
