7PM in Brooklyn with Carmelo Anthony

Mojo Brooks pulled up to 7PM in Brooklyn for a wild one with Melo and Kaz.

Mojo talks about building his comedy career his way, touring with Mike Epps, learning from OGs, and why he doesn’t believe in competing with other comedians just to prove a point. He also gets into the new generation of comedy, Druski, Desi Banks, Jack Funny, crowd work, slow grinding until your number is called, and why everybody can’t be the guy at the same time.
Then the conversation turns into Chicago sports, from the Bulls rebuild to Caleb Williams, the Bears’ future, and whether Caleb can really claim the Iceman nickname. Mojo also breaks down being at the Kevin Hart roast, seeing Katt Williams hit the stage, the Tony Hinchcliffe fallout, jokes crossing the line, and what people at home didn’t fully see from inside the room.

Melo, Mero, and Kaz kick things off reacting to a funny All the Smoke clip, which leads to Melo sharing a never-heard story about one of his favorite teammates, Andre Miller (2:45).

Then the guys debate who the best white NBA player in the league is right now (12:30). Even with Detroit’s 3-1 comeback over the Magic, the Pistons still need a real second scoring option, so they get into who should be on their list this summer: Devin Booker, Kawhi Leonard, Michael Porter Jr., or somebody else (33:07). Melo also reacts to Michael Beasley’s all-time one-and-done starting 5 and says he’s swapping one name out (50:42).

Then it gets serious. Melo, Mero, and Kaz go On the Hook for a full hood snacks bracket and argue it all the way down to a winner (1:08:44).

As always, the show closes with a hilarious FWI or FOH (2:07:37), but not before the guys get into the Iceman rollout. Melo does not say whether he has heard any of it yet, but he does talk about what he expects from Drake sonically and why he thinks this could end up being his best album yet (2:17:16).
