Gotta get a bucket.

Where do they go to Joel?

A bid process.

Is he gonna come up on top or not?

Let's see.

Hey, what's going on?

Everybody for first we feast.

I'm Sean Evans and you're watching hot ones.

It's the show with hard questions and even hotter wings today I'm joined by six years.

Big man Joel Embiid.

He's an NBA All Star fan favorite in Philadelphia, and you can catch him on the cover of M B.

A live 19 dropping this fall.

But enough chitchat.

How does he handle some of the hottest chicken wings on planet Earth?

We'll find out today, Joe.

Joe, Welcome to the show.

Thank you.

And then I know that used to go to Jefferson's when you're at the University of Kansas and you'd get the double depth turbo wing.

So I take it you're pretty good with spicy food.

Oh, yeah, I'm I'm used to, you know, being from Africa.

There's a lot of spy side there and I saw we eat so pretty used to this excited.

So far, nothing so far.

Chill?

No.

So lately you've been in the headlines for crashing these playground basketball games and then savagely dunking on civilians.

I'm curious.

How does this all come together?

Do you set these things up or you just see people who've been in the playground decided to crash the game?

A lot of times.

I'm kind of tempted because a CZ I'm living the tennis court when I'm done.

Some guys who come in, you know, the trash talk about like and Uncle you I can cost you up.

I can score you.

And usually a lot of people like to the suspect and be a players.

And, uh, I don't like that.

So, you know, at times when I felt like it, I feel like I should teach him a lesson on.

That's why I stopped by and I do my thing and then I leave.

Do you have a favorite play I'd like to call out.

One of mine is when you bounce the ball off that guy's face and the dunk that has to be the one that was pretty good.

I just did it on the fly and the whole time.

The whole time he was kind of going too hard.

I was there for, like, five minutes and it was like really going on me was going the ball in another.

You don't want to get me started.

And then that's when I passed out off his head and we're men on them.

I'm in.

What can you do after that?

You can't really do anything on then There was a lot of people watching, too.

So lie.

But I enjoyed it.

I d n you know, everybody shook hand and I should care about the science.

And I left nothing.

Child's play says we've talked about You've really thrown yourself into Philly life hitting these playground courts and jogging on the street.

Rocky style.

Yo, just the process.

I love you.

Remember the first time you met Allen Iverson to give you any advice?

I do.

That was at the time when I was I was going to my injuries and I wasn't about to play.

And it was always telling me you're gonna be the one.

And then nine days when it sees me, you're so part and he always talks about.

Yet I thought I told everybody I told you I knew you were gonna be die guy.

What do you remember about that night that meat mill rang the 76 years Liberty Bell after his release from prison wasn't in Washington emotional night.

You know him coming out of a job on us being in the important playoff game to close it out at home.

Thought he was a great set up.

We enjoyed having them and celebrated him getting out of a job, and I had a lot of fun.

Have you picked up any filly slang?

People really talk differently over there.

It seems, uh, what's the most common that I always hear Young Bowl Some my back?

Well said, Boy, that said, because the young bull at times I think I catch myself by using it because I've been there for so long.

But so you're on the cover of MBA Live, which also features cameos from complex anchors.

And in last year's game, your player rating was an 88.

What do you expect it to be this year?

Well, if I'm on the carbon, man, you gotta believe that I'm gonna be at least 90 and 95.

Yes, and if I'm not, I'm gonna walk for it and get to 95.

Dear teammate TJ McConnell said that you talked the most crap ever and that he'll never play video games with you again.

What do you remember about the afternoon where he almost threw a controller out of your apartment building window?

Oh, I'm actually really good at everything I do, especially video games related, and I was being a shit out of him.

He was.

He was about to cry, and I was I and I was enjoying it because that's what I like.

Doing my life, kicking people's ass and literally being in the face is letting them know that they're sort their trash on that.

I'm better than that.

Even on the court, he just gets madder by anything I'm like, Dude, just calm down.

And that day it wasn't a good there fall, but it was really bad.

I can understand his frustration because I'm dagger.

Do you ever put on the headset and play Brando's on the Internet?

Yeah, I've done a few times.

Do they know it's you?

I think I've been in one situation where someone actually recognize me because of the way I talk, but is usually is better when they don't recognize, because I can talk the most shit and I can say whatever I want and he's not going be like clip it out, Put it on CNN.

Yeah, I said, no, this and that.

It's better that way.

Solid zombie.

Hey, good!

Since moving to the U.

S.

When you're 16 you've been totally immersed in American pop culture.

And, in fact, one of your high school teammates, D'Angelo Russell, said that when you were still developing, your English used to just use Brick Ross quotes to respond to people.

Do you remember any of the lines that you would use?

Those used to be my song, so on listening to a song and then go in their life looking at the lyrics and trying to memorize.

And then that's how I like a lot of wars, just kind of stuck in my mom.

This summer has been one of the more memorable ones in recent history for hip hop.

You have everyone from Kanye Two Knives to Jay Z and Beyonce dropping an album.

And of course, as this episode drops, it's the week of Drakes release.

Who do you think is gonna have the hottest record this summer?

Well, drink is really good at what he does.

Obviously, every time he comes up with the saw is always a hit.

So my guess would be trade.

Still, no problem.

No part of you still feel confident that you'll get through this.

No water, no milk.

There's only farm or so great.

All right.

Bill here will two chains has this reputation for being the best basketball player in hip hop.

Does he live up to that reputation?

That day was a little rusty.

He say that was his first game back since he was injured.

I give him the benefit of the doubt, but he was slow and I couldn't really move.

Get by Nobody.

But he has a nice stroke.

They can shoot us.

Shoot the ball.

You and M J.

That was in you always my first all star.

So and then it just happened to be the party at med, uh, would accosted to go on.

And it has a pretty good resume to be the goal.

So f for life was a great idea to, you know, snap, you know, take a picture with them.

How do you take that?

Sometimes love M J stories where he's a little bit rough about the picture.

It was good.

It was amazing.

There's no problem school.

And I think he wanted it to be Oh, no problem.

Poker face Careful around your eyes, you know?

So in 2012 you tweeted 8 10 cheeseburgers had fun.

Eight Cameroonian food.

Is that just the average cheat meal for you back?

Oh, my, You Sue.

I used to eat a lot, but I could never put on some weight.

And then as soon as I got to the state, uh, I would stay eating a lot.

So and cheeseburgers back in the day with Stephanie away.

Good night from me.

Do you remember the first time you tried Nutella?

That always seems like it's a big moment for a lot of people.

Nutella.

Well, I'm still in love with Tyler.

I don't eat it.

I don't eat it as much as I used to, but I used to literally eat out of the jaw, used my finger and just freaking 81 jaw every day.

Now I'm like, gonna take myself on now responsible.

So have a lot of responsibilities.

So I gotta do a better job.

But back in the day, I used to be savage.

Yeah, you cut across sand and half right, making Nutella sandwich my fingers.

What do you think is your record for the most Nutella sandwiches you've ever eaten in one city?

I know hot on the A lot goes up.

Gotta be responsible.

Listen, I know I know you've turned the page, and now you're eating right and hitting.

I know, I know.

But in your day, you could put away more than five.

To tell.

A sandwich is more than 10 to telecast the case.

They'd do it more than 15 to tell us, man, if those money on the lock and definitely motive Which one's this bun sirs from Australia?

Where is that?

The one Ben was having?

One of my C made Ben was handsome, and there he was having people try some type of hot sauce and it was really, really bad.

You were said it was from Australia and everybody was like I was, Don't do it.

I hope he's not dad.

He's so outside of basketball.

I know that your other great love is soccer.

I've heard you say that if hoops hadn't swept up that maybe you'd play for the camera national team.

Would you say that you're the best soccer player in the N B A.

Why not yet.

Why no.

Yes, Steve Nash when he was in the N b.

A great I start was there and he's really good.

But I would say right now you should be so skill.

I was the best in my neighborhood and then, yeah, I love soccer.

So I'm not sure if you remember.

But back in 2014 I had the pleasure of interviewing you at the beginning of your online courtship with Rihanna, which is only gained momentum in the time since.

And listen, your personal life is your personal life, Joel.

I'm not tryingto I'm not tryingto I'm not trying to pry, but I am curious.

And the tactics, why do you think it was important to express your affection publicly rather than just slide in the d m Z, which most people would do?

Oh, I don't slide India.

Um, something that I've always been scared off.

You know, I'm a joke.

So the whole thing with Rianna is fun.

Oh, so far, what's the best ree ree song to make sweet love to?

Um, good boy.

Because I'm a ward boy.
