Welcome back to #TheStoop. Before the launch of the 2026 season of this relaunched Mini-Pod series, I’m going into Throwback mode & releasing a couple of episodes that I recorded back on November 2, 2025. For today’s episode, I’m joined by Author/Therapist Jonathan Boxill as we had a conversation about the pitfalls that some successful & wealthy black men encounter at the peak of their industry; plus we have a conversation about dealing with grief, and more.

Today on The Ave Podcast, I’m joined by SSA Family Member Randall Walter (Founder of Red Rush Ontario AAU Program) and Julian Dunkley (Founder of Difference Makers Basketball program) as we discuss the basketball landscape at this present time. We break down Giannis’s options & where we would like to see him go*; our favorite prospects going into the 2026 NBA Draft; share more love to Jalen Brunson & the New York Knicks; the future of the 76ers (& Raptors); and have a conversation about youth basketball programs, the mentorship within them, plus much more.

*We literally finished this episode, and not 10 minutes later, Giannis gets traded to the Miami Heat. The other side of releasing NBA-Centric episodes every year within this two week window. Yes, you’re still hearing our thoughts on the matter anyway.

Today on The Ave Podcast, we break down and produce a review for Season 2 of Daredevil: Born Again. On Part 1, we discuss our thoughts on the season overall; share our different POVs on the season finale; and pick out our Most Valuable Characters (we’re calling it MVPs because… are we really calling it MPCs??); plus more.
