Give Me the Ball | Episode 3: "YO WAS HOMELESS FOR A NIGHT"

In this episode, Yowan and DJ dive straight into one of the craziest stories yet — Yo breaks down how a routine trip turned into him being straight up homeless for a night. The details, the panic, the decisions that led there — nothing is left out, and DJ makes sure Yo doesn't skip a single embarrassing detail.

From there, the guys switch it up and get into the Celtics trading away their star player. They talk through what the move means for Boston, whether it was the right call, and where the team goes from here.

To close things out, they open the floor for questions — answering what's been sent in and riffing on whatever comes up along the way.

Give Me the Ball | Episode 2: "Kentucky. Layups."

In this episode, Yowan and DJ catch up on their week before diving into everything that's been living in their group chats. They break down the latest from Love Island — who's playing the game right, who's already been benched — before switching gears into a real talk about finance and what it actually looks like to build toward something bigger.

Then things get personal. Yo pulls out a story from his college days that's equal parts chaos and comedy — the kind of story that only makes sense once you hear the whole thing. From there, the conversation opens up into a bigger discussion on African versus American culture: the differences, the overlaps, and what it's like navigating identity between the two worlds.

It's a little bit of everything this week — laughs, layups, and a lot of real conversation.

Lace up. Let's get into it.

Give Me the Ball | Episode 1: "Tip Off"

Every great game starts with a tip off — and so does Give Me the Ball.

In this debut episode, hosts DJ and Yo lace up and step onto the court for the very first time. Before the ball gets rolling, they take a moment to introduce themselves: who they are, where they come from, and what basketball has meant in their lives. From their backgrounds to the story of how they found each other, this episode is equal parts origin story and opening statement.

DJ and Yo also break down exactly why they decided to start the show — what gap they saw, what conversations they felt weren't being had, and what they're bringing to the table that nobody else is. Spoiler: they're not here to just recap box scores.

They close things out with a couple special segments — what to expect week to week, how the show is structured, and why Give Me the Ball isn't your average basketball podcast.

Whether you've been following the game your whole life or you just love good conversation, this is your invitation to run with them.

The ball is in their hands. Let's go.
