1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:04,560
Speaker 1: Wait that ass up in the morning Breakfast club morning.

2
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:07,920
Speaker 1: Everybody is tj Envy Charlemagne the guy. We are the

3
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 1: breakfast club. We got a special guests in the building. Yes, indeed,

4
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 1: Monty Jones, welcome back. While you get that seat and

5
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 1: I got to sit over here and this joint you know,

6
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 1: y'all y'all are throned out. Y'all are really minimizing your

7
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:22,159
Speaker 1: guests with this whole strategy. How does that work? We

8
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 1: have multiple guests, like and so who gets the throne?

9
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:26,280
Speaker 1: Sound like y'all just need a whole bunch of thrones.

10
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 1: Like I've seen this like Kylie Coward he said that

11
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 1: set up, but his desk was up here and his

12
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,199
Speaker 1: guests would be sitting down there. Lebron always sitting in

13
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:35,519
Speaker 1: the high chair on the shop. Everybody else sitting on

14
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,840
Speaker 1: the ground. I see what this is. Well, Charlemagne, bout

15
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 1: the thrones? Okay? Were about the thrones? I thought because

16
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 1: he was short, he wanted to be a little highest

17
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 1: is the reason I thought. But you just never know.

18
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 1: I just like to set up. I like how it

19
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 1: looks to a camera. But welcome brother, even to a

20
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: game theory? Man, Yeah, man, how are you feeling. Hey man, we're,

21
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 1: you know, out here on the stroll selling these ways

22
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 1: for everybody, anybody that wants me to walk to stroll

23
00:00:58,200 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: to look pretty. That's the end of like the trickiest

24
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: part of it. But doing the show itself, Man, it's

25
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: been great like this. I mean, this is the thing

26
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 1: that I always wanted to do, and now we get

27
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 1: to do it, and we get to keep doing it.

28
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:08,479
Speaker 1: At least we get to keep doing it through this season.

29
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: I don't get to make decisions past that. But we

30
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:11,960
Speaker 1: got a lot to talk about today. So let's jump

31
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: right into Super Bowl this weekend. Who you got and why?

32
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: All right? I'm going with the Chiefs. And I don't

33
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 1: know if the Chiefs are the better team, but I

34
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,320
Speaker 1: just can't pick against my homes. Man. How's his leg though?

35
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: How's his foot? I mean, he got two of them,

36
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Like one of them might

37
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 1: not be as good as the other one was, but

38
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 1: he got to like and I made this mistake the

39
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: last time they had the Super Bowl, Like, I'm not

40
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: picking them because they had my homes because that got

41
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: me in trouble when they lost to the Bucks. But

42
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 1: I can't pick against him. Well, then that Super Bowl

43
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: you probably could have after of who they were playing, well,

44
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,039
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. It wasn't about Tom Brady. It's when I

45
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 1: turned the TV yall and saw they had all them

46
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 1: back up offensive linement, and immediately I was like, I'm

47
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: gonna be wrong on television the ball Like sometimes you

48
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 1: just look up. The game doesn't have to go. I

49
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: just saw to du that left tackle who got Cam Newton.

50
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: Damn they're killed in that Super Bowl. I was just like, up,

51
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 1: sometimes you're wrong. Yeah. Now you did say, Tom Brady,

52
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: what are your thoughts on Brady finally retiring? Dude forty

53
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: six years old? Like, I don't even understand what the delivery.

54
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: He's still competing, He's still competing, But some of the

55
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: dudes that are hitting him into kidneys like this, this

56
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,399
Speaker 1: is just me personally. I would imagine at that age,

57
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: I am forty two, and I know how much you

58
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,239
Speaker 1: can hurt just working out, just waking up. Yeah, yeah,

59
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 1: this dude's out here get getting buy out by everybody,

60
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 1: and it's like, yeah, you know, I think I might

61
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: want to do that, na na na nah. So I

62
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:23,959
Speaker 1: am amazed that he pulled it off for as long

63
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: as he did. And I am glad that he walked

64
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 1: away before it got to be terribly embarrassing because he

65
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: was gonna be out here next year. It was gonna

66
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: be depressing for all of us think oh yeah, yeah, yeah,

67
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 1: what if he don't went to San Francisco or something.

68
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: It's still been looking depressing. Man. Everybody gets old. Like

69
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:39,799
Speaker 1: I know, he got out as a stretching and his

70
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: strawberry ice cream and everything else. But in the end,

71
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 1: I mean, he can't eat strawberries. That's his thing. He

72
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,079
Speaker 1: does not eat strawberries. Everybody gets old. And I think

73
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: Cass like him and Lebron have fooled us into thinking

74
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 1: that you can live forever. Nope, everybody that's thought they

75
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 1: could go forever, it's gone one day too long. And

76
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: me to sit there and cry, well, we never we

77
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: had We really never saw Brady have a decline. I

78
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: just don't think he had the team around him this year. Yeah,

79
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:02,679
Speaker 1: And that's why it's good to get out ahead of

80
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: that clime. It's coming, like no matter who you are,

81
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 1: it's coming. Now. You mentioned Lebron, is Lebron the goat.

82
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 1: Now he's about to pass the record in the next school.

83
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: A couple of days, the conversation is coming back. No,

84
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 1: why no, because there's a dude named Jordan. I agree,

85
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,079
Speaker 1: that's what I mean. That's that's no insult to Lebron.

86
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: But like I remember, at one point, it's like fifteen

87
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: years ago and I was doing radio and I would say,

88
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 1: Lebron James is the best player I ever saw, and

89
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 1: I had this whole clinical argument, like he does this

90
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 1: better than Mike, he does this better than Mike, he

91
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: does this better than Mike, and I could go through

92
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: all of that, and then you go to YouTube and

93
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 1: you're like, what was I talking about, Like none of

94
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: this matters. There was that dude, and then there's everybody else,

95
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: like the last dance, which was so funny because it

96
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 1: was so clear that Mike looked around and was like,

97
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: these kids just think I'm about some shoes. I need

98
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: to show them who they are. And then I watched it.

99
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 1: It was like, YO, great idea, Mike, because I don't

100
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: see how they could watch this and think anything other

101
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: than there's never been anything like this before. No insult

102
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 1: to Lebron, you know. But I also think that part

103
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: of the scoring record of what's important to him is

104
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 1: he's still making that case, right, I have a case

105
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: against Jordan, assist and scoring everybody. I'm just here to

106
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: tell you, I don't think you have a cay. It's

107
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:09,119
Speaker 1: cool to be yourself, right. You just gotta realize you're

108
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: not gonna convince us like the people who you have

109
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: not convinced it's over. That decision has been made. The

110
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: ones that know you cool, they're gonna ride with you,

111
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: and they're gonna decide this is your program. Everybody else. Now,

112
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: we made our call. I don't have bron over Kobe,

113
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,480
Speaker 1: and I think it's wild. See I think that's crazy.

114
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 1: I'll tell you why. We always think Kobe is the

115
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,840
Speaker 1: closest thing to Jordan, right, and people don't want to

116
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: give it to Cobe. That's steven Na Smith say. I

117
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 1: don't want to give it the Kobe because all he

118
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 1: did with mimic Jordan. You know how good you gotta

119
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: be the mimic Mine don't know. I give him credit,

120
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: But that's like saying that Shane is better than somebody

121
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 1: because he's the closest thing to Biggie. Now, great, Kobe's

122
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: a lot better than Sean was as a rapper, But

123
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 1: it's just like he reminds me of isn't quite enough.

124
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 1: Lebron got too many victories. Like I know Kobe has

125
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 1: the championships, but that run basically from twenty ten to

126
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen or twenty eighteen, when he's going to the

127
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 1: finals every year and the only thing that's constant is Lebron. James,

128
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: y'all only do that with Braun When it comes to

129
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills, nobody said the Bills one of the

130
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 1: greatest football teams of all time. They went to the

131
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 1: Super Bowl four times, but they didn't go to Super

132
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: Bowl eight times, and they didn't win the four right, right,

133
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,159
Speaker 1: But they didn't. But if they had won a couple

134
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 1: of long the way we could talk about Like I'm

135
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,359
Speaker 1: an Atlanta Braves fan, right, I don't say they're the

136
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,599
Speaker 1: greatest baseball run of it just because they had fifteen

137
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: straight division championships or anything else, but Lebron being the

138
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: constant between two franchises and a whole bunch of different

139
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 1: ways to get this done. Nah, man, you can't. There's

140
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 1: no shade as you can throw on what he I'm

141
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: not throwing shade. I'm just saying he's the person that we,

142
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, we make a concession too when it

143
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: comes to not winning. That's fair. And when Kobe was

144
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,919
Speaker 1: missing the playoffs and out here the last four years

145
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: looking you know, beat down and everything, stay passed problem,

146
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: that's right, but you cut them slack for it, Like,

147
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,559
Speaker 1: that's the thing about it. We cut Kobe a lot

148
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: of slack. He was hurt. I think the one thing

149
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:57,039
Speaker 1: that Braun doesn't have that Kobe has that Jordan has

150
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: is the will to win. There was just something different

151
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: about Jordan when he was on the court in those

152
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: final minutes. You knew he wasn't gonna lose this game.

153
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: The same thing with Kobe. Brun not so much. See,

154
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 1: I disagree. I think Kobe had the will to take

155
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 1: shots every time. Like when we talk about the mama

156
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: mentality stuff like it's it's been long enough now that

157
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: we can have an honest reassessment of Kobe. And so

158
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: the thing for me about that is every time you

159
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: hear about Kobe and the drive and the passion and

160
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,599
Speaker 1: everything else, it's all about one man. Kobe's thing is

161
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 1: I am going to get myself all the way right,

162
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: and if the rest of y'all do it, we're gonna

163
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: be cool. Right. What made Braun different than Kobe was

164
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 1: I can take Braun out here with four dudes that

165
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:37,599
Speaker 1: we get off a fifth avenue, and he'll be like

166
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:39,720
Speaker 1: Buddy from the sand Life. If you go stand over

167
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 1: there and hold your glove up and just stand right there,

168
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,479
Speaker 1: the ball's gonna come to you. That's what Lebron's got,

169
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: what Kobe's guy is. Man. If y'allould just give me

170
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 1: the ball and just let me get these buckets, this

171
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 1: will be our best chance. I don't see that as

172
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: the will to win. I see that as the will

173
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 1: to be the person who does the thing. Jordan was

174
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 1: like that, Jordan. I think part of that's the North

175
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: Carolina thing, where now then you had to get a

176
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:02,840
Speaker 1: ball to somebody else and then go figure it out.

177
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 1: But Jordan had a better understanding the team dynamics. They look, man,

178
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: I'm not an only child, but I grew up kind

179
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 1: of as an only child playing basketball in a driveway.

180
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 1: That's Kobe. Kobe got a driveway game, right. He got

181
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: all by himself, moves all that stuff. When you imagine

182
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: you ain't got to think about nobody else. He's shoot

183
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: doing crazy fall aways. And everything else because you're playing

184
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: in the driveway by yourself and then he gets out

185
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: with other people. And that was the whole thing with Kobe.

186
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 1: The whole way was like figuring out how to interact

187
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: with other people. It was a human thing. But I

188
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 1: also think it was a basketball thing. And I go

189
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 1: with Lebron for that reason. Over that, like when Lebron

190
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 1: had that squad and No. Seven, Kobe can't get that

191
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: team to the finals in the East or either way,

192
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 1: because that's not how Kobe gets down. Lebron out here,

193
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: got Jeff McKennis out here looking like something that he

194
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 1: never could be. Yeah, now, Kyrie, Irvy, that was just mean,

195
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 1: that's what I do. Now he just got traded to

196
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: the Mavericks. What's your thoughts on on Kyrie? Does that

197
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 1: make that team better, worse or it doesn't matter. I

198
00:07:56,080 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: have no idea, and I don't think anybody. I don't

199
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: think anybody has no no. But he's another dude that's

200
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 1: in a similar place where his individual game is just

201
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 1: so incredible, like saying, he's the best ball handler that

202
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: I've ever seen, not even close, right, But how many

203
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 1: games he gonna play? He got all kinds to not

204
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 1: show up, not coming to work. Now he's dealing with

205
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 1: a dude who's not accustomed to give him the ball

206
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: to anybody else. Neither one of them plays especially well

207
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: off the ball, But I don't But with the nets,

208
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 1: I don't feel like they got better either. Like this

209
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: is the rare time I look at the trade and

210
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,559
Speaker 1: be like, oh, everybody wanted to do words. Huh. Ain't

211
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 1: that so? Because I told Kyrie he was like, you know,

212
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 1: the word was out that he might sit for the

213
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 1: rest of the year if he doesn't get traded. Yeah,

214
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: I bet you want that Max deal. You're gonna get

215
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 1: out here and play because that's all you can do

216
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 1: to get this money. That the worst, I should say,

217
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 1: the worst let down to NBA history ever. James Harden, ever,

218
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 1: Durant ever, Kyrie ever ever doesn't make any sense. First

219
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 1: of all, they played like a game and a half together,

220
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 1: like in some total. But no, ever, I can't think

221
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: of anything. Remember how we thought about that year the

222
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 1: Lakers got Gary Payton and Carl Malone and they were old,

223
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 1: and we thought it was a let down When they

224
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:11,719
Speaker 1: went to the finals. These dudes won a series, one

225
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 1: single solitary series and I'm just waiting to figure out

226
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 1: when they're gonna trade Kevin Durant. But what do you do?

227
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 1: What do you do with Kevin Durant? You to Brooklyn

228
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: nets And if you are Kevin Durant, what do you

229
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 1: want to go? Well, I can't go where it's the

230
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 1: best place for me to Wars she had never left.

231
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 1: I don't blame them for leaving, like I didn't blame

232
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 1: Kyrie for leaving Cleveland, the same way I didn't blame

233
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 1: Durant for leaving Goldstake. I didn't blame Kyrie for leaving

234
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 1: Cleveland because he left Cleveland at the same time that

235
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 1: I left Highly Questionable to go do High Nude High.

236
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,839
Speaker 1: The Questionable was a very successful program. If I want

237
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 1: to do that for the rest of my life, we'd

238
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 1: have been down there making easy money living in Miami.

239
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 1: But I needed more right like it wasn't I was

240
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 1: had a very nice seat in somebody else's car. I

241
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 1: wanted to drive a car, So sometimes you gotta go

242
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,439
Speaker 1: drive a car. Right. That's where ky he was when

243
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 1: he left Cleveland. What if you're not a driver, though,

244
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 1: well he thought he was a driver. I personally believe

245
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: that I was a driver, But I have to say

246
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 1: that car I drove on high dude didn't quite stay

247
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 1: on the road right. Luckily I got another chance to

248
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 1: drive a car, but he wanted to be a driver.

249
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 1: You deserve a chance to see if you can do that,

250
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 1: if somebody would give you that opportunity. With Durant, can

251
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 1: you imagine being possibly the best player on planet Earth?

252
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 1: And they'll never love he as much as this other

253
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 1: dude right here, And everybody loves Steff right, So if

254
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 1: it comes down to a battle of like who side

255
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:31,679
Speaker 1: we got, you're never gonna win over Stepp. And in

256
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 1: fairness to Steff, always say this, we don't let that

257
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 1: man be a person. And so we act like, oh,

258
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 1: step will have no problem with Kevin Durant being very

259
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 1: you know, it'll be easy. I assure you. It was

260
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 1: not right. That man's got an ego, just like everybody

261
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: else has an ego. So you on somebody else's team,

262
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 1: you and somebody else's city, you're the best player in

263
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 1: the world, and nobody cares because it's his And so

264
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,079
Speaker 1: he I felt like Durant one of something that was

265
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 1: more his own. Except the problem was he brought his

266
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,319
Speaker 1: fuck up homeboy with him, and it became his team

267
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 1: because when you're the one that messes everything up, it

268
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 1: becomes your team because you're the one that we got

269
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 1: to worry about all the time. And Kevin Durant, that dude,

270
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 1: he's so cold that you never have to worry about him,

271
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 1: and that gets old, man. That's right, that's right. Speaking

272
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 1: of Steph, I love talking spots. You know what, we

273
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 1: can talk about so many other stuff. And I asked Stephen,

274
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 1: they the same question when you talk about generations, right,

275
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 1: when you look at Stephan Braun over the last ten

276
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 1: fifteen years objectively, who who whose error really wasn't This

277
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 1: is a this is a spicy one that I've been

278
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 1: dealing with and trying to figure out myself, because the

279
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 1: truth is Steph Curry won four championships on Lebron's watch,

280
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 1: that's right, and beat Broun twice, beat him twice three

281
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 1: times actually yes, three times, three times. Yeah, And there's

282
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 1: no way around that he beat him on his watch

283
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: while Lebron was still in his project. Let's say the Warriors,

284
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:52,199
Speaker 1: and I don't think this is going to happen, but

285
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,079
Speaker 1: let's say the Warriors won a championship, this year, and

286
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 1: that would mean that Steph had five championships and Lebron

287
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 1: has four. Okay, I could say Lebron's a better player

288
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 1: than Stuff. How could I say that the era did

289
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:09,439
Speaker 1: not belong to step step changed the game. He revolutionized

290
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: the game of basketball and ways Braun didn't everybody played

291
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,679
Speaker 1: like stuff. Yeah, it's tricky though, Lebron couldn't revolutionize it

292
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 1: because you look at Broun and you're like, oh, I

293
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 1: can't do that, right, Like it just it's just not

294
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,080
Speaker 1: an option, right, Like I can't. I can't, Like there's

295
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 1: no way that I could ever look in the mirror

296
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: and be like, yeah, I got that, No, and I

297
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 1: was not happening. You feel like abouteff shooting, right, But

298
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 1: that's the problem. People feel like that they can't do

299
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 1: that shit either, Like I can't imagine coaching a youth

300
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 1: league basketball team right now. For Yeah, I thought he

301
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 1: was chucking. I was like, he has to be chucking.

302
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 1: The way he was shot looked like he was chucking.

303
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 1: Let me tell you, man, I was that year that

304
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 1: Steph killed the NC double A tournament I covered. I

305
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,559
Speaker 1: was in the building for the first two rounds. I

306
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: even told him because It kind of like changed the

307
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 1: trajectory of my life because I was there and in

308
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,320
Speaker 1: between jobs, and I was watching that and I was like, no,

309
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 1: I gotta be around this forever. Like it was that

310
00:12:58,080 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 1: big a thing. But he was out there, He's like

311
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 1: a hundred four five pounds. The jersey was falling off

312
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 1: of him and dog, he was just demolished. And then

313
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 1: they played gonzag in the first round. They had a

314
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,199
Speaker 1: couple of NBA players. He's just doing it to him playing,

315
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 1: you know, just playing with regular old dudes who could

316
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:14,319
Speaker 1: get into Davidson. Right. Then they played Georgetown the next round.

317
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 1: Georgetown was the number two seed, and Georgetown should have

318
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 1: won day game. But that's a whole nother discussion. And

319
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,199
Speaker 1: Steph's doing all that and you watch it and you're like, well,

320
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 1: he can't do that in the NBA because he's just

321
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 1: too small. That was all it is. And then you

322
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,680
Speaker 1: realize after they changed the rules in the NBA, actually

323
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,199
Speaker 1: he can do this in the NBA. Right, So he's

324
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 1: one of these dudes we question really just because the size.

325
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 1: It was never a question of whether or not you

326
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 1: had the talent or anything else. But man, if you

327
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 1: put like a couple of tattoos on that dude. We

328
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:41,839
Speaker 1: talk about him like he's Alan Iverson because he's got

329
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 1: handles like that. He had all of it, and at

330
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 1: every turn he's like, I'm better than y'all think, and

331
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 1: we're like, but stuff, we think you're the greatest shooter

332
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,839
Speaker 1: ever because you're really No, No, he was better every year.

333
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 1: I got to wind up coming on the microphone and

334
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:56,200
Speaker 1: being like, guys, I swear I was saying this stuff

335
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 1: was really good, but you were right. I did not

336
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 1: say he was as good. I know the next time

337
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 1: might see him, he gonna have something to say to me,

338
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 1: because he finds out everything everybody says that it's little

339
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 1: bideous slight, and he's gonna say something to He ran

340
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:09,839
Speaker 1: up on one of my homeboys who comes to the

341
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 1: league because we had had a podcast discussion where I

342
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 1: was trying to make the point he's a system player

343
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,319
Speaker 1: but also the system, but all that got heard was

344
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: he's a system player. This is years later. He walks

345
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:24,239
Speaker 1: up to my man. Not bad for a system player, Huh.

346
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 1: I don't think cats understand. I don't think people, Yeah,

347
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 1: I don't think people quite get what kind of dude

348
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: he is he just went to Christ's schools. That's all

349
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 1: it is. But like but otherwise now here like us.

350
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 1: Statement makes all the sense in the world though, because

351
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 1: he is the system, but the system is built around him.

352
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 1: What it is and the point we were trying to

353
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 1: make is there's a lot of guys where you'd be like, yo,

354
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 1: we need to win the game. Put four dudes at

355
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 1: the bottom, you at the top. You gonna make it happen.

356
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 1: He's not the first choice that I make to do that,

357
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 1: which is different than guys that are typically that good.

358
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 1: Ain't nobody trying to hear nothing that came after that though,

359
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 1: shape and then a boy, we're out there one another one.

360
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 1: I'm not dig in the playoffs. I never not sleeping

361
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 1: on golden thing. Never know. That's the Clay Thompson is not.

362
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 1: What Clay Thompson was becomes the hold up. My thing

363
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 1: with the Warriors is it's hard to play for now

364
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 1: and play for later at the same time if you

365
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 1: have the opportunity. My thing is, I trade them young dudes, really, Wiseman,

366
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 1: Moody or Commander Really, if I could get Kevin Durant back,

367
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 1: I'll trade them all. Yeah, I mean of course yes,

368
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 1: but I trade out like one or two. It's hard

369
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 1: to have a bunch of dudes in their thirties and

370
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 1: a bunch of dudes it's like twenty one and like

371
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 1: make your team happen at the same time. That's just me.

372
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 1: I would get the young dudes out of there to

373
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 1: try to win while I got Steff. And if I'm Steph,

374
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 1: I go in there kicking and screaming about it as

375
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 1: the NBA getting too violent. Now, I seem like that

376
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: people are fighting more violent. I've always said, it's not violent.

377
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 1: It's getting back to it. He's getting back to the Detroit,

378
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 1: New York. You know why, because good basketball doesn't make

379
00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 1: people watch. Passion makes people watch. Correct, Like you think

380
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 1: about that terrible basketball or the nineties of the late

381
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 1: two thousands where you got finals games where a team

382
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 1: is scoring in the fifties, But we view that more

383
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 1: nostalgically than the game we watched. Now. We like watching

384
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 1: dudes elbow with each other. We like watching dudes put

385
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 1: each other around. And I said something on Game Theories

386
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 1: the first words the season one where I was like,

387
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 1: you realize, that's a whole generation of NBA fans that

388
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 1: have never seen their favorite players in the fight. We

389
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 1: have seen every single one of our favorite players everything

390
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 1: fight somebody John, all of them top to Bobs, Yea

391
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 1: Kobe ever did we ever? We had never seen any

392
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 1: of these cats fight. So like that level, I'm down

393
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 1: to see some pushing around. Like one of my favorite altercations,

394
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 1: Joe ll NB and Karl Anthony Towns had one because

395
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 1: Karl Anthony Towns was like, look, I know the rest

396
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 1: of y'all think I'm gonna sucker, but I'm not taking

397
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 1: that from you, and finally decided he was gonna fight him.

398
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 1: Now where I get worried, you'll see this story about

399
00:16:55,200 --> 00:17:00,120
Speaker 1: John Morant and the laser beam was gone to ye on,

400
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 1: this is my only thing about that. Okay, now you're

401
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 1: from not too far away where he's from from something. Yeah,

402
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,479
Speaker 1: I don't know what part of South Carolina that is, right,

403
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 1: like in terms of like what it's like on the ground,

404
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 1: but a country country. People don't understand that country got

405
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 1: real also right, I don't know how he rolls, how

406
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 1: he gets down, but I know a lot about Memphis.

407
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 1: And you can play this game with that laser dot

408
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:24,879
Speaker 1: on the team bus with the Paciers. If you want to,

409
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 1: and if you want to play these games with your

410
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 1: NBA friends, go ahead, watch your step in that city

411
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 1: that you live in. And that's my thought about that,

412
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 1: Like if you ride around with your partners and that's

413
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:37,919
Speaker 1: they get down and you still got these dudes around you,

414
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:39,920
Speaker 1: which makes me wonder what you and your daddy be

415
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 1: talking about. He had every single game and you still

416
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:43,679
Speaker 1: riding around the dudes. That's laser beam and strength. Like

417
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:45,919
Speaker 1: people like, like, what exactly are you talking about? But

418
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 1: I hope he's careful. I really hope. There was the

419
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:50,119
Speaker 1: other story. I don't know if you saw that. Somebody

420
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 1: sued him, um basketball playing basketball at the house. Yeah,

421
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 1: you're I was team job. Basically, some young man that

422
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:00,159
Speaker 1: he's known forever was playing ball at his house and

423
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,680
Speaker 1: they had some heated altercation and the young man says

424
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:06,920
Speaker 1: he accidentally threw a ball that whiz passed Jah's head

425
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,639
Speaker 1: and y'all looked around allegedly and said should I do

426
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 1: it to him? And they said yes, and they gave

427
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,440
Speaker 1: that board the beats um, but he was like seventeen.

428
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 1: Oh wow. Now that comes down to a philosophical question

429
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:19,920
Speaker 1: as to like how old how old is old enough

430
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 1: to get your ass kicked for acting like? How b

431
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 1: seventeen year old? Somebody? Seventeen year olds pretty big man.

432
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 1: I think seventeen was enough for me. Like at seventeen,

433
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 1: I recognize the girl. Man, like what my ass? But

434
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 1: then they say the NBA did an investigation and find

435
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 1: out they couldn't confirm the laser star. Yeah, they couldn't

436
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:38,880
Speaker 1: confirm it. But uh, here's what I here's it's sound

437
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 1: like they couldn't confirm they couldn't confirm that the laser

438
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,359
Speaker 1: was tied to a gun. Ridge is fair, and I

439
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 1: think it's in all likelihood and boards are just playing

440
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 1: around in the car with a laser. Reje had one

441
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 1: this morning like that. I think we all like maybe

442
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 1: I'm just from Texas. We don't play like Shannon Sharp.

443
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 1: What's your thoughts? I love Shannon All getting with a

444
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 1: couple of people on the court because at one time,

445
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 1: if you agree with somebody in the corn like that,

446
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:05,680
Speaker 1: you get thrown out. I love Shannon though. Shannon is

447
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,919
Speaker 1: one of my favorite. You're not getting kicked out of

448
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 1: the Staples Center whatever they call it now when you

449
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:14,160
Speaker 1: the number one lebron James fat right, let's go there.

450
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 1: My my favorite thing about that though Dylan Brooks he

451
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 1: was ready for that. Dylan Brooks didn't want that. I

452
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 1: think it was Desmond Baine was the other dude that

453
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 1: came over there. Desmon Vaine. They really want that either.

454
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 1: Steven Adams, Oh, suddenly we have a fair fight. Steven

455
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 1: Adams feels no paid because it perfects to pay, like

456
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:36,879
Speaker 1: like he had to reach on Shannon to mother dudes

457
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 1: who sh had a sharp would to beat the dog

458
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 1: shit out of the listen. You know before you go on, man,

459
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:45,360
Speaker 1: I was talking about game theory. You do game theory

460
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 1: by yourself with talking about Shannon. When you see these

461
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 1: heated altercations that Shannon and Skip Bayler's get into it,

462
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:55,360
Speaker 1: even saw stephen A and Jay get into yesterday. Jay williamsay,

463
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,920
Speaker 1: that's just something that comes with the territory. It kind

464
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,239
Speaker 1: of depends on the dynamic that you have with your

465
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 1: co host. But yeah, that can I mean, you think

466
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,159
Speaker 1: about it, man, Them dudes is up there holling at

467
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:11,360
Speaker 1: each other for two and a half hours day, right

468
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:13,199
Speaker 1: like y'all eat here kicking it right like like the

469
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 1: nature of your show is not antaggonistic. Right, y'all. They

470
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:20,880
Speaker 1: go at it and with the ego the Skip has

471
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 1: and I know Skip, I know, like I don't know

472
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 1: them like real close, but I know them well enough

473
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:28,159
Speaker 1: to talk about it in this context. And what happened

474
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 1: was like I saw another woman with Shannon and Skip,

475
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 1: and I may be out of turn because I don't

476
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:36,200
Speaker 1: work at that network, but Shannon didn't have to say,

477
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:37,919
Speaker 1: you could have took down the tweet. No, no, no,

478
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:39,879
Speaker 1: just let that go. Just let that go. And Skip

479
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 1: didn't have to be like, I'm not gonna take it

480
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 1: down and let me explain why and didn't. Whatever the

481
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:46,640
Speaker 1: old fight was happened right in front of each other.

482
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:48,959
Speaker 1: And what I've said and I hope for them is

483
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 1: this this TV thing that back and forth only works

484
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:54,879
Speaker 1: at the people think you like each other, Like if

485
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 1: they know you don't like each other, feel like you

486
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 1: don't like each other, it doesn't go court has and

487
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:01,200
Speaker 1: will bond scream at each other and may be heated

488
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 1: at each other sometimes but always at the end as

489
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 1: a reminder that they like each other. Stephen Ay and

490
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 1: Jay got a little bit of a different dynamic because

491
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 1: it ain't their show, it's his show, and the last

492
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 1: thing I saw on there, and I haven't talked to

493
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 1: either one of them about this, but Jay did something

494
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 1: that would have got me right there with Steven Ay

495
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 1: with stephen A is like, Yo, you always tell me

496
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 1: what you find interesting. Why don't you just say what

497
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:25,679
Speaker 1: you mean? Like, no, hold on, we're not doing passive

498
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 1: aggressive about this, Like stephen A. Smith is not a

499
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:31,159
Speaker 1: person that's here for your tiptoe. He's right here say

500
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 1: what it is that you think. But on this issue,

501
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 1: they've gotten in these arguments. I was trying to YouTube

502
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:39,680
Speaker 1: the full segment and I found another one and them

503
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:43,400
Speaker 1: holing at each other about Kyrie Irving right, like it's

504
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 1: that one is particular and in ways seems personal to

505
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 1: both of them for different ways. Stephen Ay, he got

506
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 1: contacts with those people over there and talking to them,

507
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 1: and every now and then they'll be like, yo, I

508
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 1: don't care about you or your daddy. So like it's

509
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 1: clear they got their thing. Jay Williams went to do.

510
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:01,399
Speaker 1: Jay Williams is from their New Jersey school Basketball World,

511
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,919
Speaker 1: so they both bringing whatever their things are into this.

512
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:07,679
Speaker 1: But they got shows where people just like arguing each other.

513
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 1: None of the shows I've been on dan ain't Bill

514
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 1: for that. Me and him couldn't hoilight each other like that.

515
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 1: Oh God, if I hollow that poplo like that on television,

516
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,120
Speaker 1: they send me to jail. Like it's just it's not

517
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,640
Speaker 1: or at least I get to tension. It's not. The

518
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 1: dynamic did not allow they stop Asian hate all kind of.

519
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:29,120
Speaker 1: But our dynamic and our interaction didn't work that way.

520
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 1: Skipp and Shannon, when they're on good terms, they can

521
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 1: do it. But now that's the thing, when you got

522
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:35,919
Speaker 1: that we highlight each other television show at sometimes it

523
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 1: ain't gonna it ain't gonna be games, right, So how

524
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 1: do you navigate that hosting your own you know we're

525
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 1: gonna be good with some roll. How do you navigate

526
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 1: that hosting your own show? Oh, I ain't gotta argue

527
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 1: with nobody no more. Yeah, but I'm talking about you know,

528
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 1: we know people like to see some type of conflict. Yeah,

529
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 1: do you feel the need to like stir something? No,

530
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 1: because I can't the kind of conflict that we're talking

531
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 1: about here, Like I feel honest saying this, and I

532
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 1: don't think aybody's gonna look at me for being a

533
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 1: jerk for it, right, would you want to argue with

534
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 1: me on television, No would you? No, Like I wouldn't

535
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:11,400
Speaker 1: want to argue withoud be. I can have a conversation, conversation,

536
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 1: but like y'all bring it to you right now, most

537
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 1: people aren't. Like, that's not a winning proposition for most people.

538
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 1: So you can't approach somebody like BUMI emotionally, I'm gonna

539
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 1: lose everything. But then I can't approach them emotionally because

540
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 1: then I just look like a bullet, right, I don't

541
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,239
Speaker 1: look like like I like it works better, Like if

542
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:28,639
Speaker 1: you saw the thing I had with Jake Paul the

543
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:31,359
Speaker 1: other that back and forth I knew going in if

544
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 1: Jake Paul tried me, I'm gonna just let them do it.

545
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:36,200
Speaker 1: Let's keep going, okay, okay, Like I'm a video game

546
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:38,120
Speaker 1: boss when it comes to arguing stuff like, I don't

547
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:39,879
Speaker 1: have to prove anything to those people, so I can

548
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:41,879
Speaker 1: just lay back and go with it what I find

549
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 1: works better for me. Like when my podcast, people like

550
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 1: to hear me talk to my friends, Like they don't

551
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,360
Speaker 1: want to hear me in conflict. They want to hear

552
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 1: me chilling because that to them is like the refreshing

553
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:53,680
Speaker 1: part of it. It's like, yo, right, Baumney's actually just

554
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 1: like one of our friends. We can just hang out

555
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 1: and talk about this stuff. But other people, I get

556
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 1: why they feel like they gotta And I'm not saying

557
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 1: that the people we talked about a manufacturing conflict, but

558
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:04,120
Speaker 1: I know why a lot of people feel like they

559
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,120
Speaker 1: have to manufacture conflict. But I can just make people

560
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:07,920
Speaker 1: man getting out of bed, like I ain't really got

561
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 1: to try hard to get them to that place. Well,

562
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 1: we appreciate you for stopping through broo game theory. What's

563
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:17,200
Speaker 1: what's the days again? Is it still Sunday? Oh no,

00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 1: be interesting. This is the rare time where I'm like,

569
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 1: what in the world am I gonna do with this interview?

570
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:37,199
Speaker 1: I have this go any direction? So we got that

Speaker 1: getting ready for the super Bowl. You've a good, good,

572
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,120
Speaker 1: good conversation. Though you know one thing other thing's gonna

573
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:43,400
Speaker 1: ask you. People will look at you and they see

574
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,880
Speaker 1: you on HBO and they think, man who some people

575
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:48,479
Speaker 1: might think, but money came out of nowhere, but they

576
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 1: don't realize you've had a long broad got created at

577
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:53,359
Speaker 1: the debate, I was just having in here earlier because

578
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 1: I'm like, you know, there's no point of entry to

579
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 1: to podcast or I have no idea how you do

580
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 1: it anymore, Like I was. I was talking to Jamal

581
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 1: about this yesterday when she was like, if somebody young

582
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:05,399
Speaker 1: came ask you how you get in the game, what

583
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 1: would you tell them? And I would tell them I

584
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:09,920
Speaker 1: don't know. Yeah, turn your compute on because because I

585
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,639
Speaker 1: feel like you haven't skipped any steps. Being that you

586
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 1: haven't skipped any steps, you have the skill set to

587
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 1: sustain where you are. I feel like with these new people,

588
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 1: they just turn on the microphones start their podcasts and

589
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 1: they haven't acquired any skills from the skifferent steps. And

590
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 1: I don't know where you get them, right, Like I

591
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:26,440
Speaker 1: don't know if this podcast school right, Like I don't

592
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 1: know if you know, like if the colleges or whatever

593
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:32,200
Speaker 1: or like teaching people how to get in and do this.

594
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 1: But like I remember when I first got in the game,

595
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 1: I got in writing and I did skip steps, but

596
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,160
Speaker 1: I was working with editors and people who were making

597
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,159
Speaker 1: me better and then gradually, like there were things that

598
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 1: we figured out and we got to the place where

599
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 1: it's like, okay, cool, this is where I am. But

600
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 1: now with the podcast game, when I talk to people

601
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 1: and they asked me like what can they do to

602
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:54,400
Speaker 1: get on? They never asking me how to make they

603
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 1: work better. They're like, hey, so what can I do

604
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,400
Speaker 1: with my Twitter or my TikTok, you know, to get

605
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 1: people to see it? And I'm like, look, network can

606
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 1: sign yeah, and I'm like exposed to get you exposed,

607
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,440
Speaker 1: Like if your work is not ready to be seen,

608
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 1: you don't want This is where people talking about coming

609
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 1: in here just a little bit earlier, like hey man,

610
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 1: people are gonna give you one shot. Like if what

611
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:15,159
Speaker 1: you got ain't there, you don't want to put that

612
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 1: before the world. So you need to do whatever it

613
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 1: takes to make your work better and then hope that

614
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 1: the people who listen to you will share. Like Chuck

615
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,640
Speaker 1: d says something it's like ten years ago online, I'll

616
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:27,440
Speaker 1: never forget, And his point was if you have a

617
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 1: band or a rap group, whatever it is, and you

618
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,400
Speaker 1: got a Facebook fan page, and that Facebook fan page

619
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 1: has ten fans. Your fan page needs to serve those

620
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 1: ten fans. They're all like corporate thinking is I'm gonna

621
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 1: serve all these people who ain't there, serve those ten people,

622
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 1: and then those ten people will tell somebody else about it,

623
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 1: and now your ten might turn to twelve, and then

624
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 1: your twelve might turn to fourteen or whatever it is.

625
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 1: But what they could do is get you your own

626
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 1: little audience and serve it and get better and get better,

627
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 1: and then from there somebody might notice you. But even

628
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 1: like it was ten twelve years ago, like I got

629
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 1: on TV via Twitter, right, I got the attention to

630
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 1: people who made decisions sending tweets. Twitter so overcrowded and

631
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 1: nobody does anything productive there. I don't even know if

632
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 1: you can impress anybody on Twitter to get off. So like,

633
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:16,440
Speaker 1: if you want to do this, you better love it,

634
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:18,640
Speaker 1: because since everybody else is doing it, it ain't gonna

635
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 1: be no money out there for you very long either. Exactly,

636
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 1: this is a tough game right now, that's right, as

637
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 1: you get you exposed Jones, that's right, watch either to
