As much 21 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:08,280 Speaker 1: as we revere athletes and give us love.

It was 51 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 1: a holiday to some of y'all who smoke read every day, 52 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 1: and y'all got into the zone. Maybe I'll met y'all 53 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,799 Speaker 1: of there. Maybe'all didn't. I don't know, but had a 54 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:42,839 Speaker 1: good night. I was watching some Godfather of Harlem. After that. 55 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 1: Three in the morning, I hear big footsteps. Now, my 56 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,520 Speaker 1: son is seven and he got them big legs, so 57 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 1: I know his footstep level. It's like ninety cubic pounds 58 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 1: of pressure right every step, but this one ninety. This 59 00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,520 Speaker 1: is like one ninety or something. I'm like, wait a minute. 60 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 1: I looked up quick. Wife was in the bed too. 61 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 1: I said, oh, look down. My little daughter was there, 62 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 1: who's getting bigger, But she ain't there yet, so I 63 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:07,680 Speaker 1: was like, that ain't hurt. Then I was like, it 64 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:11,080 Speaker 1: ain't Olivia. She's three and her nickname is Eddie Biddy, 65 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 1: so that ain't her. And she zips up her damn. 66 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:16,919 Speaker 1: She zips up her bed every night so she could 67 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,080 Speaker 1: stay in there. So I'm like, I'm ran out of people. 68 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:24,640 Speaker 1: Literally for a split second, a split second, I woke 69 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 1: up like it's time to go, it's time to go 70 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 1: to war, and I was ready for war. And then 71 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 1: I looked down the hallway. It was Biscuit, but he 72 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 1: was sick and he was mad and he was hurt. 73 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 1: The bug that I had to help me lose all 74 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 1: this weight this week is the same bug that my 75 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 1: wife had, The same bug that now Biscuit had, that 76 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 1: Oriah had. So the bug caught him. He threw up 77 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 1: in his bed three four in the morning. I'm cleaning 78 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 1: up throw up, and then of course we all go 79 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 1: to bed in my bed, no room sardines. All right, y'all, 80 00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: let's get this started right now. Talking about Eli Musk, 81 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 1: who I ain't gonna lie. I used to swear by 82 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: for multiple reasons. Max Keller, me and my boy used 83 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 1: to live next door in bel Air, next to Elon Musk. 84 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 1: Elon Musk not only bought one property, bought another property 85 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,679 Speaker 1: and knocked that property down for his helipad or something 86 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 1: crazy like. I was like, Max, what the hell is 87 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,480 Speaker 1: going on up there? So that was cool. I always 88 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,599 Speaker 1: liked him because Max was the first person I ever 89 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 1: met that had a Tesla, and he used to rave 90 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 1: about these teslas too much. Actually, I was like, dog, 91 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,480 Speaker 1: it's just a damn car, like I done had a 92 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,839 Speaker 1: Ferrari or Rose Royce, and I ain't talk that much, 93 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 1: like dog, it's a damn Tesla. And then Corey mcghetty 94 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,359 Speaker 1: was the next person I knew who had won, and 95 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,280 Speaker 1: he kept going on. I was like, oh you acting 96 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 1: like Max. Everybody was brought these cars and this is 97 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,479 Speaker 1: a long time ago. And finally I sat in Corey's 98 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:52,040 Speaker 1: and finally I rolled in Max's. And then I realized, 99 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 1: and now three teslas later, because they cooked me too. 100 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 1: I don't talk about it like that, actually I do. 101 00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 1: But the point is I got love for Elon Musk. Well, listen, 102 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 1: say that love is turned into a lot of like 103 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 1: or kind of like, because I am not liking what's 104 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 1: going on at Twitter right now, let's talk about this 105 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:11,480 Speaker 1: story where Twitter has started getting rid of legacy blue 106 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 1: checks for those who don't pay up. Raise your hand. 107 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 1: If you ain't paying up, I ain't paying up for 108 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 1: that as well, unless you're Lebron James and a couple 109 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 1: other celebrities. Because they extended a complimentary subscription to Lebron James. 110 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 1: They did it to William Shatner, and they did it 111 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,919 Speaker 1: to Stephen King. I'm sure others, but those are the 112 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 1: three headliners. And the craziest thing is, before all we 113 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,279 Speaker 1: get into like the blue check market what it means, 114 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 1: I'm like, what is Elon doing? How did he get 115 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 1: to Twitter and that fast undermine and discredit what the 116 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 1: validation system look like? Like this didn't really matter to 117 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,800 Speaker 1: me from Hello. When I got on Twitter, it was like, oh, 118 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:55,919 Speaker 1: you get a blue check mark if you're somebody a 119 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,359 Speaker 1: public face, And I was like, oh okay, but I 120 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 1: didn't go on Twitter looking for that validation that next tier. 121 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,159 Speaker 1: But when it came, I was like, Okay, this does 122 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 1: make sense because if you're a Lebron James for real, 123 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 1: you don't want Lebron James the fake to get out 124 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 1: there and be newsworthy, because that ain't real, right, So 125 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 1: I thought that was smart. It almost reminded me of 126 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 1: how Amex does it, and Amex has the cleanest lines. 127 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 1: You know, you got your blue card, your Green card, 128 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 1: your Platinum card, and then you got your black card, 129 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:28,479 Speaker 1: and you look at somebody who pulls out the black card, 130 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,160 Speaker 1: You're like, yeah, And I used to have a black car. 131 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,279 Speaker 1: But them fees are crazy too, and I used to 132 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 1: do it for the wrong reasons. I actually got rid 133 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,599 Speaker 1: of it, and I felt good about myself. I got 134 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:39,600 Speaker 1: rid of it because I was just using it to 135 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:43,280 Speaker 1: use it, so people saw me using it, and I 136 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 1: was spending way too much money, and I was doing 137 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 1: it to impress ladies. I was getting married. I was like, 138 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 1: I don't need the impress ladies no more. Let me 139 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 1: act broke get away girl. So anyway, it's crazy. It 140 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 1: used to be that it used to beat a black card, 141 00:06:56,520 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 1: that blue check mark. And then he came in said 142 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 1: everybody could buy it, and then he said I'm gonna 143 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:06,159 Speaker 1: wipe him away unless you buy it. And then he said, well, 144 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 1: some people I know don't want to buy it, so 145 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 1: I'm gonna buy it for them. What the hell is 146 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 1: going on with Eli Musk? Like it makes no sense. 147 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 1: I think it's BS. I am not paying for it 148 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 1: because I don't care. And my boy Anthony Mackie, if 149 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 1: you guys don't know who he is, all the way 150 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 1: from eight Mile to he's Captain America. Now, this dude 151 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 1: made a great point. He said, look, let him be 152 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 1: fake accounts. Now, let him be a thousand Anthony Mackie accounts. 153 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 1: You want to know why, because now all these accounts 154 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 1: are propping up the name of Anthony Mackie. Now y'all sit, 155 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,679 Speaker 1: figure it out. What's real from fake?

Oh my god, you knew how 170 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 1: pumped I was for the Los Angeles Clippers when they 171 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 1: got Kawhi Leonard and teamed them up with Paul George. 172 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,840 Speaker 1: Now I'm looking at that situation like that's contention, if 173 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 1: not a championship, right, just be on the court. This 174 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,440 Speaker 1: is Paul George. Remember okac days when Paul George acting 175 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,320 Speaker 1: a fool out there in terms of all around the 176 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 1: indie days, you go back even the injury. He responded 177 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 1: from that, and then Kawhi Leonard san Antonio Spurs Toronto 178 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,440 Speaker 1: one year there. Okay, guess what I'm gonna do. Just 179 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 1: win a championship for y'all. Oh, y'all never won a championship. 180 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 1: That's what Kawhi does. Quiet assassin, always ready for the moment. 181 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 1: But since he's got to the Clippers, let's not lie 182 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,960 Speaker 1: about it, man, he has not been available and what's 183 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 1: the greatest ability of bay love Bill Lati and we 184 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 1: don't have that right now. So I'm looking at Kawhi 185 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,840 Speaker 1: Leondard like, what the hell? How has this happened? Let's 186 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 1: talk about the story first. So we saw him miss 187 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 1: Game three, and obviously the Clippers under man, even though 188 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,720 Speaker 1: they fought, they tried their damness, came up short, losing 189 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 1: that game by five. But let's talk about the two 190 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 1: time finals MVP, who missed all of last season following 191 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:41,319 Speaker 1: his knee surgery, and then he had this recovery plan 192 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 1: and it was real careful, the low management. We get it. 193 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 1: See ka wouldn't see Kawhi on the back to back, 194 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 1: See Kawhi wouldn't see Kawhi for a while. Okay, it 195 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:53,320 Speaker 1: was all good because it was coming together perfectly later 196 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,679 Speaker 1: in this season and for the playoffs. Let's go now. 197 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,200 Speaker 1: They eased him into it and all that was looking good. 198 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:02,480 Speaker 1: And then we saw finally in game one and he 199 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:04,560 Speaker 1: looked like the best player on the court and that 200 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 1: includes Kevin Durant, clused Devin Booker, Right, it was Kawhi 201 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 1: Leonard dropped thirty eight. Clippers go out there and they 202 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:16,079 Speaker 1: surprised Cats and they win game one, we pumped WHOA. Now, 203 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,960 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, we're like, in game two, okay, 204 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 1: we lose that game, but we're coming home with home 205 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,400 Speaker 1: court split series. All right, you take it. You don't 206 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 1: want to say that, but you'll take it in response, 207 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 1: and you come back to LA. Then the conversation started. 208 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 1: I was hearing the rumblins. I ain't want to believe him. 209 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 1: I ain't want to feed him, I ain't want to 210 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,920 Speaker 1: give that energy that a Kawhi hurt himself, and I 211 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 1: was like, really didn't look like he was hurting. There 212 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,320 Speaker 1: was like, no, he heard himself in game one and 213 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 1: played through it in game two, and then it swelled up. 214 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 1: Shoot around game three morning of they were like, dog, 215 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 1: can't do it, can't risk it. Now here's the thing. 216 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 1: You got a knee spring, and a knee spring's the 217 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 1: same reason why Paul George is ruled out for the 218 00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 1: entire series. So I'm hoping we're not gonna be literal 219 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:04,520 Speaker 1: about this. To say, Nie spraing for Kawhi is the 220 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 1: same knee spring for Paul George. That means we ain't 221 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 1: gonna see Kwhi again. But maybe it was just thee 222 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 1: irritation because it happened in Game one. He still was 223 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,960 Speaker 1: able to play through it. And I've been there before. 224 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 1: Let's talk about that how this team is now prepared, unfortunately, 225 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,720 Speaker 1: to go out there without Kawhi Leonard, without Paul George. 226 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 1: You saw Russell Westbrook trying to do his part. You 227 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 1: saw the team in normal pile trying to do his part. 228 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:33,640 Speaker 1: Point being they were deflated. Tylu even talked about it. 229 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 1: Tyler said, Yo, I mean, be real, you without your 230 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:41,840 Speaker 1: one and you two and your three just got here. 231 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 1: Whatever you want to say about Russell Westbrook, it was 232 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 1: just too tall a task going against a team that 233 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:48,959 Speaker 1: some are saying should come out the West in the 234 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 1: Phoenix Suns. So I'm looking at it like, man, what 235 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 1: the hell does this remind me of? And I think 236 00:11:56,040 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 1: Kevin Durant gave it the best context this appointment, Like, 237 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 1: let's not even talk from the team perspective. Let's just 238 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:06,679 Speaker 1: talk about it from Kawhi Leonard's perspective. Y'all imagine this 239 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:11,720 Speaker 1: and this is for real that you are Kawhi Leonard 240 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 1: in talent, talent, skill work at it. Remember, Kawhi didn't 241 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:20,200 Speaker 1: come into the NBA as projected to be this, that 242 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:24,200 Speaker 1: dude has worked, that dude has accomplished. Kawhi is a beast, right, 243 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:28,440 Speaker 1: especially when't healthy. We see it. But then Kawhi gets 244 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 1: robbed and not robbing himself like some players, like some 245 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 1: people out there questioning Anthony Davis, and they say he 246 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 1: robs himself? Does he really work as hard? Well, that's 247 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 1: not the conversation we have with Kawhi Leonard. You always 248 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 1: have a Kawhi Leonard. Why isn't he available now? Some 249 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 1: of that changed the narrative. It went from oh, he's 250 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 1: staying hurt to oh, he's actually trying to manage his pain, 251 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,080 Speaker 1: manage his injury. And that's when he started to lose 252 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 1: a few of his fans, a few of his followers. 253 00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 1: But what about the robbery, forget if you believe them 254 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 1: or not. Just the fact that Kawhi Game one, thirty eight, 255 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 1: Game two, still ball, Game three wakes up neon fire, 256 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,680 Speaker 1: can't play and this is not the first time, because 257 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 1: he missed all the last season crashing in the Clippers' hopes. 258 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 1: This is not the first time, remember going all the 259 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:19,200 Speaker 1: way back to San Antonio. In part why he does 260 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:22,960 Speaker 1: load manage is because he got misdiagnosed, not once, but 261 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:27,439 Speaker 1: twice because of injury. So now it's crazy because there 262 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:32,959 Speaker 1: is no worse feeling than you having to do something 263 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,560 Speaker 1: and the only thing you need to do it you 264 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 1: can't even possess it, right, that's crazy. You know what 265 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,440 Speaker 1: reminds me of and I'm gonna get into my story, 266 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,480 Speaker 1: but it reminds me of the Homeboy Doc. Y'all know 267 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 1: the DC, the rapper. Remember he got into that car 268 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:51,199 Speaker 1: accident after his first album, classic album, and y'all like, yo, 269 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,840 Speaker 1: DC not only an artist, he could write, he got flavor. 270 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 1: Oh man, he was next level. Gets into a car 271 00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:03,160 Speaker 1: accident and the major damn happens to one area vocal 272 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:07,040 Speaker 1: cords right here. Only thing he needed, right literally, as 273 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 1: a rapper, only thing he needed was to be able 274 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 1: to speak coherently the same way, whatever you want to 275 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:15,640 Speaker 1: call it. And that's what he got robbed of. I 276 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,559 Speaker 1: was like, damn, I mean that felt like intentional from 277 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:22,080 Speaker 1: the universe for real, like coming from a pie message. 278 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 1: And in this situation, Kawhi is not in that space. 279 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 1: But damn, when are we gonna see the full Kawhi? 280 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 1: I mean, he gonna have to get into that line, 281 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,720 Speaker 1: and there's a lot of guys. Brandon Royd comes to mind, right, 282 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:34,960 Speaker 1: there's a line of guys. Greg Olden comes to mind 283 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 1: where you were like, damn, we never got to see 284 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 1: him all the way. Now, we did get glimpses of Kawhi, 285 00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 1: but not in fullness and not as a Clipper, certainly not. 286 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 1: This is gonna be his first home playoff game in 287 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 1: two years, and still got robbed of that. It's crazy, man, 288 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 1: because when I've been in that position before, My deepest 289 00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:58,520 Speaker 1: prayers were literally not to make it to the NFL. 290 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 1: When I was leaving Colombia. It wasn't to get drafted 291 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 1: at a certain position, you know what it was for real. 292 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 1: Don't get hurt my senior year. Don't get hurt before 293 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:15,920 Speaker 1: the draft. Don't get hurt before the combines. Literally, not 294 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,640 Speaker 1: even how well I could play. God, please don't get hurt. Man. 295 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:23,400 Speaker 1: To get robbed like that, that gotta hurt. Boy. This 296 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 1: story made me smile, and I felt like a gossip 297 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:28,480 Speaker 1: columnist when I read it because I was like, Ooh, 298 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 1: I know I'm gonna talk about this now. Why I'm 299 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:32,560 Speaker 1: gonna talk about this Because I've been in this exact 300 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 1: same position many a times and many a relationships. Never 301 00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 1: when I was married, but certainly before and certainly was 302 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 1: someone I was at least committed to in their eyes. 303 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 1: Let's talk through this right now, because oh my man, 304 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:51,600 Speaker 1: Chance the rapper was reveling. You guys never heard that. 305 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 1: I hope I'm saying that right because it's been a 306 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,200 Speaker 1: while since I've been to Carnival. But yes, reveling. And 307 00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 1: people are saying he's cheating on his wife. Say why, 308 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,320 Speaker 1: all right, Chance to married man? They call them spotted 309 00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 1: grinding and grinding U from the flow.

If you grinding, what's your hand's 312 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:15,400 Speaker 1: supposed to do? It feels awkward? Just fled them in 313 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 1: the air right, slapping on her butt at Carnival. I 314 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 1: so now people trying to clown and criticize him. One 315 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:27,240 Speaker 1: thing about reporting now journalism now, and I guess I 316 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:30,200 Speaker 1: am not fighting this. I'm just observing this that they 317 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 1: will use a tweet from some random dude who just 318 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 1: parked your car, and now that's like a source, and 319 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 1: now that's something that substantiates them writing a full column 320 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:46,280 Speaker 1: and for credible sources, they go to the dude who 321 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,240 Speaker 1: just valais you right and literally listen to some of 322 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:52,480 Speaker 1: these criticisms. It's just some rando out there, and we 323 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:56,200 Speaker 1: all randos unless we actually were there. And they just 324 00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,480 Speaker 1: said I thought he was married and that literally starts 325 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,080 Speaker 1: to call him. I'm like, what, So let's go into 326 00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,440 Speaker 1: it because I'm about to react to the what of this? 327 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,239 Speaker 1: All right? So the videos out there, obviously they got 328 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:10,360 Speaker 1: a bunch of random tweets of people clowning it, and 329 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:13,679 Speaker 1: then you can see in the video like he just 330 00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,720 Speaker 1: leaning back getting it in, doing what you do at carnival. 331 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 1: And I really wanted to talk about this because people 332 00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 1: were saying he was disrespecting his wife, kursed in corley. 333 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:27,040 Speaker 1: So they were like, y'o, you married b What you're 334 00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:30,200 Speaker 1: doing over there doing that with her? Who that that 335 00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:33,880 Speaker 1: ain't wifey? Okay, let's just start from the beginning, cause 336 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 1: this junk bs started. I guess when you had your 337 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,920 Speaker 1: second girlfriend, not your first girlfriend, your second girlfriend? You 338 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,800 Speaker 1: remember that? Who was your second girlfriend? Right? Will? You're 339 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:45,960 Speaker 1: the sixth grade, seventh grade, eighth grade, some of y'all 340 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:49,360 Speaker 1: too fast? Third grade? But whatever, your second girlfriend, and 341 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,560 Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, your second girlfriend started asking 342 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,280 Speaker 1: you those questions about the first girlfriend. Maybe y'all go 343 00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:57,600 Speaker 1: to the same school. Look, you're young, you ain't going 344 00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,159 Speaker 1: that far. You ain't going nowhere, So y'all probably went 345 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:03,840 Speaker 1: to the same school. Oh you still talk to Kim whatever? 346 00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:06,800 Speaker 1: Or you got a little picture or a letter from remember, 347 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:10,199 Speaker 1: do you like me? Yes? No? Maybe she find a 348 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,320 Speaker 1: letter from Kim and she reading it. Why you still 349 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:17,240 Speaker 1: got that letter? You like her? And that's the time 350 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:21,119 Speaker 1: it started, because man after man has caved in that moment. No, 351 00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:23,639 Speaker 1: don't like her, and ball up the letter. Nah don't 352 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,560 Speaker 1: like her, Remove the picture, Nah don't like her? Take 353 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,320 Speaker 1: it out. And when you started that process, you know 354 00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:32,360 Speaker 1: what you really did to the world. You just basically 355 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,760 Speaker 1: told whoever you wit that you didn't have a life 356 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:39,400 Speaker 1: before me. Right, I didn't have a life before you. 357 00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,800 Speaker 1: And guess what, while we together, no one and nothing 358 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 1: else exists. And that's when that BS started. Right, And 359 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,840 Speaker 1: I used to always be the anti of that. Somehow, 360 00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:51,320 Speaker 1: some way it got in my head young, like I 361 00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 1: am not getting rid of everybody I met before, their letters, 362 00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,840 Speaker 1: their pictures, etc. Look, I ain't got a fat head 363 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,239 Speaker 1: of her. Kim ain't hanging on the wall. But at 364 00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,800 Speaker 1: the same time we dated. It's a rap, But you 365 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:07,359 Speaker 1: want me to just exterminate the damn house because I 366 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:09,720 Speaker 1: used to date there. I'm getting somewhere with this. So 367 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,040 Speaker 1: I used to always be like, nah, I'm not. As 368 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:15,159 Speaker 1: matter of fact, you don't have to either, and that 369 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:17,440 Speaker 1: was liberating to them. They're like, you ain't tripping that 370 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:19,720 Speaker 1: my ex call me. Still, I was like, y'all was 371 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,000 Speaker 1: together for nine years. He never married you, so I 372 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,080 Speaker 1: ain't tripping. I ain't scared that he gonna take you either. 373 00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 1: He had you for nine years. But the point is, no, 374 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:30,080 Speaker 1: like talk to your boy like, my insecurities ain't there. 375 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:33,480 Speaker 1: My insecurities is going against Johnson. I didn't on a Sunday. 376 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:36,800 Speaker 1: It ain't your ex boyfriend calling you. So I saw 377 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:41,800 Speaker 1: that always undermine relationships. People break up just because of 378 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 1: the ex. People break up because of the thought of 379 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:45,879 Speaker 1: what you're doing when you ain't there. And then this 380 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,639 Speaker 1: video hits and I'm like, perfect, because this one is 381 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 1: deeper than that. There's a culture class going on. Not 382 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:54,639 Speaker 1: only is it the relationship stuff. You ain't supposed to 383 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:56,760 Speaker 1: be dancing with no other woman like that. That's a 384 00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:00,200 Speaker 1: damn lie, because one go to Vegas and every till 385 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:02,040 Speaker 1: you go to Vegas, you see all these people dancing, 386 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,679 Speaker 1: a lot of them married, a lot of them in relationships. 387 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,440 Speaker 1: And guess what everybody's saying, It just happened in Vegas 388 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 1: and it stays in Vegas. Part one, It's okay go 389 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,240 Speaker 1: to a wedding. You literally can go to a wedding 390 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 1: and see a married couple split apart and get it 391 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:18,480 Speaker 1: in that night and blame it on the alcohol. Right, 392 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,879 Speaker 1: come on, y'all, it's just a dance. Watch dirty dancing 393 00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 1: if you ain't got a problem. But I love the 394 00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:26,840 Speaker 1: culture class part of this because I've been to carnivals 395 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:31,560 Speaker 1: in Brazil and Trinidad Tobago. Let me just tell you 396 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:35,720 Speaker 1: when you go there, I was single. I went there 397 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 1: with the full intention of we gonna dance like we 398 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,640 Speaker 1: do in America. And that's suggesting we're gonna do more 399 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:46,240 Speaker 1: than dance after this dance. Right, whoa man? When you 400 00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:48,720 Speaker 1: go out there revel with somebody, she could be the 401 00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:52,359 Speaker 1: finest woman in the world, and you like, oh, in 402 00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:54,560 Speaker 1: the show Turn, she just looks back and she just 403 00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 1: going it to you and you're like, oh oh, and 404 00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 1: you're like, oh, film it, Oh yeah, take a pic, 405 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,640 Speaker 1: what you're doing, whatever you want in your head, your 406 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,640 Speaker 1: American ass head. I know what you're thinking. Yo, it's 407 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 1: going damn, it's going damn. Like she didn't do this 408 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,879 Speaker 1: for everybody else. And this was so eye opening to me, 409 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:15,480 Speaker 1: and it happened one hundred percent of the time literally 410 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:18,560 Speaker 1: after I'm like all right, So then I'm like, all right, 411 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,199 Speaker 1: so what's what's your name? What's She has moved on 412 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,920 Speaker 1: to the dude half my size with like three toes 413 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:28,040 Speaker 1: and one leg, and it didn't matter to her because 414 00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:31,679 Speaker 1: her mind was wrapped up in the culture. She was 415 00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:33,880 Speaker 1: wrapped up in a this is what we do. We relaxed, 416 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,119 Speaker 1: we let go, and we just go and next and 417 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,679 Speaker 1: next and next. So all I kept thinking about when 418 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:40,280 Speaker 1: I was watching this video is like, damn, a lot 419 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:43,159 Speaker 1: of people ain't been to these carfuls. That is not 420 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 1: the scene the mac, That is not parking lot pivot. No, 421 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:48,719 Speaker 1: when you dancing with somebody, you don't know they're they 422 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 1: just dancing, even though you may be somewhere else thinking. 423 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:56,040 Speaker 1: So I don't see anything wrong with this. My wife 424 00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:59,440 Speaker 1: at her bachelorette party. She showed me some videos and pictures. 425 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:02,399 Speaker 1: I was like, okay, y'all really loved you because she 426 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 1: was out there just dancing grinding dudes over there. You 427 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:09,199 Speaker 1: know that doom doom, doom doom. Once you hear that, 428 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:12,480 Speaker 1: we're going with that ass, I'm like, maybe bit over. No, no, no, 429 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:16,520 Speaker 1: you've been over. So that's it, y'all. Y'all stay all 430 00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:19,680 Speaker 1: chance to Rafford man. He ain't messing up his life. 431 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,840 Speaker 1: He ain't messing up over wife. Not this chance, not 432 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 1: this time. It's time to talk about Phil Jackson. My god, 433 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:30,479 Speaker 1: y'all know who's the goat the Tom Brady are coaching 434 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,800 Speaker 1: in the NBA. Yes, my man, Phil Jackson, who says 435 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 1: he doesn't watch NBA games anymore and doesn't like basketball's evolution. 436 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:43,480 Speaker 1: I said, say what, Wow. Had to read through this one, 437 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:46,040 Speaker 1: and this one caught me off guard. Phil Jackson is 438 00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:49,119 Speaker 1: fully retired, y'all. He bring in one hundred. He said 439 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,439 Speaker 1: that he no longer watches the game due to the 440 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:57,960 Speaker 1: political nature of modern NBA broadcasts, starting with the twenty 441 00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:01,240 Speaker 1: twenty Orlando bubble. Now I read that, I was like, Damn, 442 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:03,960 Speaker 1: you can't just watch on mute, Like, don't most of 443 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,000 Speaker 1: us watch it on mute. Whether you're at home, you're like, Noah, 444 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,280 Speaker 1: I'd rather hear music than hear them talk about it. 445 00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:11,680 Speaker 1: I could see it, or you're just at a sports bar, 446 00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:13,960 Speaker 1: you can't hear anyway, So it's like it's on mute 447 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,080 Speaker 1: if it ain't on mute, right, I was like, damn, Phil, 448 00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:19,040 Speaker 1: it's like that. But he said the bubble, and to me, 449 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:20,800 Speaker 1: that was like one of those trigger words. Once he 450 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,560 Speaker 1: said bubble, I was like, Oh, we might be going there. 451 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,400 Speaker 1: I think we are going there. Let's go. He says, 452 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:30,480 Speaker 1: quote I am not enjoying the game. That's too bad. 453 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:34,159 Speaker 1: That's there's a whole generation that doesn't like the game. No, 454 00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,400 Speaker 1: I don't. I watched the game evolve, and then they 455 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:39,639 Speaker 1: went into the Lockout year and did something that was 456 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,000 Speaker 1: kind of wanky. They did a bubble down in the 457 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:45,280 Speaker 1: Orlando All the teams that could qualify went down there 458 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:48,359 Speaker 1: and stay down there, no audience, and they have things 459 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:52,000 Speaker 1: on their back like Justice, and a funny thing happened 460 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:55,520 Speaker 1: like Justice went to the basket, an equal opportunity knocked 461 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:58,760 Speaker 1: them down. Oh oh, Phil's getting there. Some of my 462 00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,320 Speaker 1: grandkids thought it was pretty funny to play up those names. 463 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:04,560 Speaker 1: I couldn't watch that the Lakers won that year. They 464 00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,080 Speaker 1: even had slogans on the floor. In the baseline, it 465 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:09,240 Speaker 1: was trying to cater to an audience or trying to 466 00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,680 Speaker 1: bring a certain audience to the game, and they didn't 467 00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,080 Speaker 1: know it was turning other people off. People want to 468 00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:17,840 Speaker 1: see sports as non political. Politics stays out of the game. 469 00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:22,040 Speaker 1: It doesn't need to be there. Oh, I said, Phil, 470 00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:25,400 Speaker 1: wont the battle. He wants the war. Okay, let's talk 471 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,439 Speaker 1: about this because I am torn. I hear where Fiel's 472 00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:30,919 Speaker 1: coming from, but I also know where these players are 473 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,720 Speaker 1: coming from. So instead of torn, let me just explain 474 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:38,920 Speaker 1: both sides out the theory and concept. Phil is absolutely correct. 475 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,880 Speaker 1: Politics should be out of sports. Let me tell you why, 476 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:46,800 Speaker 1: because my politics are not your politics, and no two 477 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:49,560 Speaker 1: people's politics are the same. That's why they say don't 478 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:53,360 Speaker 1: bring it up. Because when my cause is being on 479 00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:56,400 Speaker 1: the platform, my cause is being amplified. I feel good. 480 00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:59,640 Speaker 1: But what if you're against my cause, and certainly there's 481 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:03,199 Speaker 1: gonna be an issue or more sooner or later that 482 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:07,040 Speaker 1: you're gonna be against And now you're now watching me 483 00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:11,240 Speaker 1: get amplified. What does that do to you? Deflates you, right, 484 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,560 Speaker 1: discourages you, right, makes you just get a distaste for 485 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,280 Speaker 1: what you're watching because you're like, now you're forcing it 486 00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:19,880 Speaker 1: down my throat something I don't want. Think about it, 487 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:23,480 Speaker 1: forcing it down your throat. If it wasn't something you 488 00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:25,800 Speaker 1: didn't like, they were not to force it, right, So 489 00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,920 Speaker 1: you're already resisting it, and instead of watching the pure 490 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,720 Speaker 1: product what you're there for your team versus some other 491 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,960 Speaker 1: team or just two teams going at it, they've introduced 492 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:38,439 Speaker 1: another opponent. They introduced something that you don't like, and 493 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:40,919 Speaker 1: that ass turned people off to the tune of the 494 00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:47,760 Speaker 1: NBA ratings, ratings, not in attendance, but in ratings has declined. Okay, 495 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,720 Speaker 1: great point. I don't want it to go around where 496 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:54,359 Speaker 1: it's my turn to have to go through something I 497 00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:59,000 Speaker 1: don't desire your politics, and vice versa. So Phil Jackson 498 00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:01,760 Speaker 1: is right in that space. He's also right because sports 499 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:06,080 Speaker 1: was intended to escape all of the politics. You don't 500 00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:08,399 Speaker 1: believe me, That's why I got into sports in park 501 00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:12,560 Speaker 1: when I was eight years old with no brothers, living 502 00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:14,720 Speaker 1: in an all black neighborhood. Then all of a sudden, 503 00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:17,240 Speaker 1: I go down to the park and now I have 504 00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:20,800 Speaker 1: thirty forty fifty brothers. We all put our hands in 505 00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:24,080 Speaker 1: the huddle and the colors look different than mine, and 506 00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:27,320 Speaker 1: I'm like, damn, that's what happens, right. And we were 507 00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:30,600 Speaker 1: supposed to be basing that on how good you are 508 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:34,360 Speaker 1: in football, how committed you are in football? Now, where 509 00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:38,560 Speaker 1: do you live, where are you from? What's your last name? 510 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:44,560 Speaker 1: Who are you? Like? The politics socioeconomic, the politics social status, 511 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:48,720 Speaker 1: and all the politics were supposed to be on the sidelines, 512 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:52,760 Speaker 1: oh here, over here, crossing the white lines. Everything's supposed 513 00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 1: to be about your merit. Who are you and what 514 00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:57,960 Speaker 1: can you do? Right? So I give Phil Jackson that. 515 00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:01,800 Speaker 1: But then I started looking at it from the player's perspective, 516 00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:05,080 Speaker 1: that ones that are active now, that are using their 517 00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:09,440 Speaker 1: platforms to the fullest, and that's real. Think about the 518 00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:12,840 Speaker 1: amplification of any program you have, Like you could be 519 00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,320 Speaker 1: the man of the year. But whatever your cause is 520 00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:19,240 Speaker 1: off the field, why not bring that cause on the field. 521 00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:23,000 Speaker 1: Just because more eyeballs are tuned into you, more ears 522 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:26,679 Speaker 1: are open to you, and you speaking on it, you 523 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:31,720 Speaker 1: actually displaying it, is gonna give more fuel to your message, 524 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:36,320 Speaker 1: give you more opportunities for your message, right, So that 525 00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:39,959 Speaker 1: makes sense as well. The problem is, and it's just simple, 526 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:42,520 Speaker 1: I don't like what you like, and you don't like 527 00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:46,480 Speaker 1: what I like. Not in fullness all of us, I think, 528 00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:49,200 Speaker 1: I think every I've not met a person yet who 529 00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:53,119 Speaker 1: doesn't like tacos, like in some version of it, right, Like, 530 00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:54,600 Speaker 1: all right, give me a shell cool, all right, I 531 00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:56,560 Speaker 1: don't want to shell. I'm trying to stay car free. 532 00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:59,760 Speaker 1: All right, whatever, Now you got you a shell less taco? Right, 533 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,280 Speaker 1: it's basically a toe stoter damn there almost. But the 534 00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:04,800 Speaker 1: point is everybody seems to like them, but not everyone 535 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,520 Speaker 1: likes them the same, right. I know some people just 536 00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:10,840 Speaker 1: want I just want meet shell Cinantra. I'm like, what 537 00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:13,159 Speaker 1: where the food at? Where the rest of the taco? 538 00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:17,159 Speaker 1: And me? I like it fully loaded with ketchup? But 539 00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,800 Speaker 1: imagine now it's time for me to give you a 540 00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,359 Speaker 1: taco and it's got ketchup on it, Gonna have to 541 00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:25,760 Speaker 1: force it down for you. Right, that's where we are 542 00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,480 Speaker 1: right now. Phil Jackson broke it down. And I wonder 543 00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:33,400 Speaker 1: where you guys are. Because most people seem like they 544 00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:38,040 Speaker 1: want these messages out there, because they know how they affect, 545 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:42,240 Speaker 1: how they impact the masses. Right, It's for those who 546 00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:44,719 Speaker 1: need the services, those who need to help, those who 547 00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:47,840 Speaker 1: need the assistance, So that's worth it, right. The end 548 00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:51,280 Speaker 1: justifies the means. So, yeah, some people are gonna be perturbed, 549 00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:54,200 Speaker 1: gotta watch something they don't care about, gotta see stuff 550 00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:57,400 Speaker 1: on the back of the jerseys like whatever, And you 551 00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:59,560 Speaker 1: gotta go through that endure that because it's for a 552 00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:02,240 Speaker 1: greater mission, greater costs. But at the same time, do 553 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:04,200 Speaker 1: you really have to You're paying your hard earned money, 554 00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:08,520 Speaker 1: You're paying your hard earned time. Your time can be 555 00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:12,040 Speaker 1: spent somewhere else, right, You earned that time, You earned 556 00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:14,880 Speaker 1: that breath. I earned this break for three hours. I 557 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,560 Speaker 1: worked all damn day. I earned three hours to just 558 00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:20,040 Speaker 1: watch sports. Damn it. I don't want to hear messages 559 00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:25,000 Speaker 1: that I don't fully agree with or support. Hmm, both sides. 560 00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:27,080 Speaker 1: I'm looking in the comments to see what you guys think. 561 00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:30,800 Speaker 1: My thing is this, I don't like one part of 562 00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:34,280 Speaker 1: the messaging. The messaging can go so far to look 563 00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:37,440 Speaker 1: off as pandering. Right, you got a message on your 564 00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:40,640 Speaker 1: back of your jersey. Somehow, some way that can give 565 00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:45,800 Speaker 1: the effect that that's enough in terms of mission and execution. Oh, 566 00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:49,480 Speaker 1: I got social justice back here, but that's not it. Now, 567 00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:52,880 Speaker 1: that's a stepping stone to saying I'm talking about social justice, 568 00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:55,080 Speaker 1: and then you may go into deeper parts. But I 569 00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:57,120 Speaker 1: hate it. When I did see these jerseys and the 570 00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:00,360 Speaker 1: stuff on the sideline, I'm like, is that all they're doing? Right? 571 00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:02,840 Speaker 1: You don't want somebody just screaming and then they not 572 00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:06,440 Speaker 1: walking behind those yells. That's what I'm saying. So I 573 00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:08,840 Speaker 1: know they're doing more work than just putting it and 574 00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:11,680 Speaker 1: painting it, but it just came across like that. And 575 00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:14,880 Speaker 1: maybe that's what Phil Jackson's talking about all these messages. Man, 576 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,760 Speaker 1: get to work, get in the neighborhoods, get to the 577 00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:21,440 Speaker 1: places where there needs to be causes and calls for action, 578 00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:23,520 Speaker 1: not just tell me you're doing it and not just 579 00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:25,280 Speaker 1: put it on the back of your jersey. I get 580 00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:28,000 Speaker 1: some of that, but I also get the fact that, hey, 581 00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,280 Speaker 1: these guys are using what they got to get what 582 00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:33,880 Speaker 1: they want. And this is a different world, this is 583 00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,640 Speaker 1: a different NBA, this is different sports. Looking forward to 584 00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:39,640 Speaker 1: see where you guys come down, hopefully nuanced in the middle. 585 00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:41,360 Speaker 1: A little bit of this, a little bit of that, 586 00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:44,200 Speaker 1: but not in this world. It seems like today got 587 00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:46,920 Speaker 1: to pick a side, gotta pick an extreme. All right, y'all, 588 00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,640 Speaker 1: you know all we finish every show? What a wiy is? 589 00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:53,520 Speaker 1: Oh my man, success doesn't come to you. You go 590 00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:57,320 Speaker 1: to it. That's right. What you want? Some boy, don't 591 00:30:57,360 --> 00:30:59,560 Speaker 1: you wish it came to you unless you're a trust 592 00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:05,240 Speaker 1: fun baby inheritance? Right? Nah, seriously, success, man doesn't come 593 00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:08,120 Speaker 1: to you. You gotta go to it. And there's a 594 00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:10,840 Speaker 1: part of me that is glad that happens, because if not, 595 00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:14,120 Speaker 1: it just be so random, it'd be just so like open. 596 00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:17,600 Speaker 1: Everybody can get it, y'all down with that, everybody get 597 00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:22,040 Speaker 1: it that socialism sounds a little different, right. Everybody always 598 00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:23,880 Speaker 1: complain it like we all should have. And I'm like, 599 00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:26,880 Speaker 1: all right, just imagine that we all had the same 600 00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:31,320 Speaker 1: exact thing. Whoa, And then you need it a little 601 00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:34,120 Speaker 1: more than that. What you're gonna do suppress that? Right? 602 00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:38,240 Speaker 1: Sounds good? Do good? Right? Most people ain't gonna want 603 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:40,320 Speaker 1: to deal with that. I want a little more well 604 00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:43,320 Speaker 1: in our world, in our society, at least, you can 605 00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:45,680 Speaker 1: do a little more. But you gotta do it right 606 00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:48,080 Speaker 1: to get more. You gotta do more, and that's what 607 00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:51,480 Speaker 1: it's about. So not mad as success doesn't come to you, 608 00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:53,760 Speaker 1: you go to it. It's like one of those universal 609 00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:56,840 Speaker 1: laws that you gotta make sure start that engine, you 610 00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:58,920 Speaker 1: rev it up, and then you on a mission to 611 00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:01,480 Speaker 1: go get it.
