7
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:22,240
Speaker 1: That dude over here feeling good because I had a

8
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:23,120
Speaker 1: good day.

9
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:25,080
Speaker 2: Man, so far, so great.

10
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 1: Got to talk to you guys, and let's get right

11
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 1: into it with what's up with that dude?

12
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 2: Well, what's up with that dude is? Man?

13
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: Yesterday I had a meeting with my bank, and I

14
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:37,600
Speaker 1: told you guys, in a long time ago, you got

15
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 1: to start talking to your bank because they got your money.

16
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 1: And everybody got this apprehension and this anxiety of going

17
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 1: into the bank and doing more than just depositing and withdrawing.

18
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 2: Right.

19
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 1: I've been in that place before, but over the years,

20
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: obviously having a CPA financial advisor, whoever you are, I

21
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 1: don't care if you don't have that financial team. You

22
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 1: got five dollars and if you got five dollars in

23
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 1: the bank, you need to have a better relationship with

24
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 1: that bank. So yesterday they took me to lunch why

25
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 1: because I asked them to take me to lunch. Demn,

26
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 1: It's time to talk. What's going on? How do banks

27
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 1: even make money? Like for real, like.

28
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 2: In simple layman's terms and in complex terms.

29
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,559
Speaker 1: I want to know how y'all sitting here building branch

30
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,039
Speaker 1: at the branch just because somebody came in here with

31
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 1: an eighty seven dollars check.

32
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 2: I want to know how it's going down.

33
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: Well, in short, over the lunch, you know that they

34
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 1: paid for with my money.

35
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 2: Long story short, man.

36
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,040
Speaker 1: You know, banks they just take your deposits and then

37
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 1: they invest them in securities, right, and they also loan

38
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 1: that money out and they just play a game on

39
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: the margin, simple as that. And I'm a kid that

40
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: hated Monopoly growing up. I hated all the financial games

41
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: growing up.

42
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 2: I was a.

43
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: Connect for I was a sorry dude, you know, oho

44
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: forever for life. So I was just like, man, I

45
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: ain't trippled on on them games. But one thing I

46
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 1: will say that's a valuable lesson even from those games,

47
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: is just learn how a little can be a lot.

48
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: And that's what banks basically do and aggregate and collective.

49
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 1: They take a little from you, a little from you,

50
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 1: a little few and make it a lot. Loan that out,

51
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: especially to entities and to commerci show investors, etc. And

52
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: next thing you know, they got branches everywhere. You're part

53
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 1: owner of that. You don't even feel that way.

54
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 2: So next time you go to your bank, dammit, even

55
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 2: if it's the check cash you place, you're going down

56
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 2: to Knicks. I don't care ask them to take you

57
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 2: to lunch.

58
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 1: Shoot, they paying for it with your money. All Right

59
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 1: after that, I was in the hot tub chiller with

60
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 1: my son. This is why I love this show because

61
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:37,519
Speaker 1: if I try to pull this on my other networks,

62
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 1: I would have heard a producer my ear say, come

63
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: come on by ourselves. We in a hot tub, dog,

64
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 1: I ain't gonna lie. We playing with a beach ball.

65
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 1: And this is what I love about Fatherhood, not only

66
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 1: this show, but just connecting with y'all. We made up

67
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: a game. Guess what the game is called. We ain't

68
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: make up a name for it. We just start playing it.

69
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: You know what the game was the four borders of

70
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 1: the hot tub. You gott to touch the ball, but

71
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: not let it hit the ball or you lose a point,

72
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 1: or let it go out. Obviously you lose a point

73
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 1: and don't let it hit the water. You lose a point.

74
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's gonna take off like pickleball, but.

75
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 2: Damn it, it was fun to say we was in

76
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 2: that thing. We was in there learning. He was learning

77
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:16,519
Speaker 2: hand eye coordination, he was learning touch. It was so fun, man.

78
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:18,639
Speaker 1: So I just had to let y'all know that sometimes

79
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 1: it takes nothing to do something.

80
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 2: Man, connect with you, Eddie Biddy's.

81
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: And the last thing is, I had a meeting last

82
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: night with somebody, a former NFL player that played longer

83
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 1: than me, that I am hopeful will be the sports

84
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: ambassador for my foundation Project Transition. And he's excited. I'm excited.

85
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: We just gonna make this happen. And the five pillars

86
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: of our organization family, education, economic empowerment, sports, him, and

87
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: finally experiences. So I'm looking forward to just bringing all

88
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: this to you guys to make sure that we connect

89
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: with those, especially people at the fork in the road

90
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: in their life, those who are underserved and underprivileged. Your

91
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: boy is here for you now speaking of somebody who

92
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 1: was let's just.

93
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 2: Say, not serving up properly. Ben Simmons, you seem underserved

94
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 2: or you certainly underserved Philadelphia when you were there, and

95
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 2: now he's trolling the Sixers. Y'all kiss this.

96
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 1: It was on all the media sites yesterday. Had to

97
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 1: come give it some love. Ben Simmons posted a picture

98
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: of him drinking some murlou I don't know, some wine,

99
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:32,599
Speaker 1: some veno while watching the Sixers get blown out in

100
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 1: that game seven fourth quarter loss to the Celtics. So

101
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 1: we saw it trending everywhere. Big names out there ripping them.

102
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 1: We saw it, and it's funny because of the backstory

103
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: of the Sixers and Ben Simmons relationship.

104
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 2: Y'all.

105
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 1: Remember when I dude was in practice and he had

106
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: a cell phone in his pocket. I was like, I know,

107
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 1: I played football, so you ain't pulling that unless you

108
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 1: want a broken phone and you're gonna be up there

109
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 1: at the Genius Bar tome on.

110
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 2: Nah.

111
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: I don't know what happened to it. You know, they

112
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,280
Speaker 1: could be like dog yo, ask was that practice stopped playing?

113
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 1: But Ben Simmons was at practice in basketball with a

114
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,359
Speaker 1: phone in his damn pocket. You know, his mind in

115
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 1: the parking lot he done checked out. But all of

116
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 1: that stuff that went down between him, I ain't think

117
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,839
Speaker 1: he would have the Koonas to actually go out there

118
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: and just say, look, i'matroll them foods because of how

119
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:21,919
Speaker 1: they treated me.

120
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,839
Speaker 2: Good for him in that respect. So it's also odd.

121
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 1: That him trolling them with his fall from grace that

122
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: occurred when he was there, when everybody's looking at Ben

123
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 1: Simmons still like dog, what happened? You're a once in

124
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 1: a generational talent. You're supposed to have been a Magic

125
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 1: Johnson that was even more nimble or could defend better

126
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: or some and whatever, and now we just see you.

127
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:47,479
Speaker 2: Are you even improving your game? We saw you sit out,

128
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:48,720
Speaker 2: you force the.

129
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: Trail, your neck, in your back, and then your mental health.

130
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 1: When that didn't work, they moved him to the nets.

131
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: I mean, you got to do a Google search sometimes

132
00:05:57,760 --> 00:05:59,600
Speaker 1: when you're like, is he still on the nets? And

133
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,719
Speaker 1: now some people are saying he's so irrelevant and may

134
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 1: not even have job security. Right if a team takes

135
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,840
Speaker 1: a chance on Ben Simmons, we'll see him again next year,

136
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 1: y'all serious?

137
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 2: Right now? This is going on. Ben Simmons number one?

138
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,280
Speaker 2: What was he number one high school prospect, number one

139
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 2: overall pick and Ben Simmons in this position right now.

140
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 1: A lot of questions out there, a lot of questions

141
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:23,839
Speaker 1: coming from the members in why these were a lot

142
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: of you guys chime in, you ask me like, why.

143
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 2: Should he be comfortable trolling?

144
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: Like what gives Ben Simmons the audacity, the audaciousness to

145
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,479
Speaker 1: go out there and troll the sixers? I'll tell you why,

146
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,719
Speaker 1: Because in the athlete's mind, we can do no wrong.

147
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:44,039
Speaker 1: We're always the last one to our retirement party. Y'all know,

148
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 1: we gonna ball till we fall.

149
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 2: And when y'all throwing us a retirement party, you're like,

150
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 2: y'all all right, enough of him. He's still like where

151
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:52,159
Speaker 2: y'all going, What y'all doing?

152
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 1: I don't need no cake. I'm still got gaining me.

153
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 1: So that's part of it too. He lacks himself awareness

154
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: as most athletes. But why didn't he get better? Is

155
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 1: the real question I saw the most. Let me tell

156
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 1: you this, you can't confuse movement with progress as we've

157
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 1: heard before, and doing a lot but not getting a

158
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:16,320

Speaker 1: to lose, right, and they played on Sunday. When the

212
00:09:55,800 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 1: teams across France, they wore rainbow color numbers on their

213
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:07,319

218
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 2: That's crazy.

219
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 1: Nantes said in a statement on Monday that the egypt

220
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 1: striker was fined an undisclosed amount which will be donated

221
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: to a French charity called so Os Homophobia.

222
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 2: Now y'all see where this story is going. Quote.

223
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,199
Speaker 1: First of all, Nan Tests would like to repeat its

224
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,079
Speaker 1: commitment in the fight against homophobia.

225
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 2: The club said.

226
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 1: Mostafa Muhammad, a striker for FC Nantes, refused to play

227
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 1: in the match against to lose for personal reasons. To

228
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:51,719
Speaker 1: this end, the NATEST directors decided to punish him financially.

229
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:54,079
Speaker 2: Hit them where it hurts in the pockets.

230
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 1: They also said they will continue to fight against all

231
00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: forms of discrimination.

232
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 2: As an always has done. So not only are they

233
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 2: gonna penalize him.

234
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: Financially, but you see the distancing right now in messaging like, Okay,

235
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 1: he does not represent us, right these are his personal beliefs,

236
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: So therefore we're gonna make sure you know to separate

237
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 1: us too.

238
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:21,439
Speaker 2: Got it? Got all that now?

239
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 1: The teams in the top two divisions wore rainbow colored

240
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 1: numbers on their jerseys over the weekend for the third

241
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 1: consecutive season to lose four. Zakaria I would call was

242
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 1: left out of his team for the same game after

243
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 1: also refusing to wear the jersey. Albucall gave his reasons

244
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 1: on social media on Sunday.

245
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 2: Now, y'all want to know the reasons.

246
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: I know you do, Let's talk to it, he said,

247
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: I have made the decision not to take part in

248
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:49,680
Speaker 1: today's game. First and foremost, I wanna emphasize that I

249
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:55,079
Speaker 1: hold the highest regard for every individual, regardless of their

250
00:11:55,120 --> 00:12:00,439
Speaker 1: personal prefaces, gender, religion or background. This is a principle

251
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 1: that cannot be emphasized enough. Sounds like he's setting himself

252
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: up to say what he really wants to say. Here

253
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: it comes Respect is the value that I hold in

254
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: great esteem. It extends to others, but it also here

255
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 1: we go encompasses respect.

256
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 2: For my own personal beliefs any line.

257
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: Hence, I don't believe I am the most suitable person

258
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 1: to participate in this campaign. I sincerely hope that my

259
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: decision will be respected, just as we all desire to

260
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 1: be treated with respect. Zakaria Abukar Wow. He wrote that

261
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 1: first he gave you framework, right, and then he gave

262
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: the acknowledgment in general of how we all should have

263
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 1: a healthy respect. It should be a two way street.

264
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 1: It should be transmission both ways. Then he got into

265
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 1: what he really felt personally about it and said, in

266
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 1: that process of respecting each other, can you respect what

267
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 1: I personally believe?

268
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 2: All right?

269
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 1: So some of the questions were who's in the wrong here.

270
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 1: Some of the questions were is it okay.

271
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 2: For a team to find you or to actually find

272
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 2: you for personal beliefs when it's not really something that

273
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 2: is undermining you?

274
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 1: Doing the work. Okay, he said he's not gonna play. Okay, now,

275
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 1: we are not gonna pay for that game. But to

276
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 1: find you on top of that because of your personal beliefs,

277
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 1: people didn't catch that layer. That's a little interesting, right,

278
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 1: you know we gonna talk to it was the punishment fair.

279
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 1: People were asking, all right, I love when we get

280
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 1: into our world of community, because we is really just

281
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: a breakdown of you and I.

282
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 2: Correct, we all learned that well with the second grade,

283
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 2: third grade? What as we? You and I?

284
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,439
Speaker 1: Okay, but they really got it flipped because in this world,

285
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 1: as much as we promote and say you first, it's

286
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:44,680
Speaker 1: really I first.

287
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 2: Right, selfish, selfless, what's in common? Self?

288
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:52,320
Speaker 1: So in this situation, him and his talents are being

289
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 1: properly displayed when he's playing soccer.

290
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 2: But then they want you to keep separate who you

291
00:13:59,000 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 2: are personally.

292
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 1: Most of us can do that. That's called professionalism. However,

293
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 1: when it comes to something that it deeply affects you,

294
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: what do you do in those moments? He did what

295
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 1: he wanted to do and what he felt necessary in

296
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:15,679
Speaker 1: that moment, and they did as well. But when we

297
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 1: talk about community, is this right? Here comes the part

298
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 1: that I don't like. I totally agree with him in

299
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 1: theory in terms of respecting my personal beliefs. But then

300
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 1: when you actually execute that, pragmatically, play that out, it

301
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 1: comes across like this, Oh, I respect everybody, but I

302
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 1: will not be playing against somebody.

303
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 2: I will not be.

304
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 1: Playing to represent something because they are blank. Imagine there

305
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 1: used to be a day my people, black people. Oh

306
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 1: I'm not playing against black people right now, I'm not

307
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: playing against a gay person.

308
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 2: He's not saying that. He said, I'm not playing to.

309
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 1: ZiT or to give amplification to a community like that.

310
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 1: Where do you go then, right, think about it. We

311
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 1: know the evolution of history and of society. You're not

312
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 1: supposed to discriminating. That's why the organization came out like that.

313
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 1: But what do you say when you have these deep

314
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 1: personal beliefs, religious beliefs. That says one thing, and you know,

315
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 1: society standards and us being human beings we together says

316
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 1: something different. I thought, this is a real interesting story

317
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 1: because there is no right or wrong in this one.

318
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 1: But you know what's wrong discriminating, But what's right is

319
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: actually upholding your personal beliefs. Well, we're gonna have to

320
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 1: go to a higher power to get the answer on

321
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 1: this one. Nickering at this one right here?

322
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 2: Whoa man? The hot mic? Hot Mike?

323
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 1: Remind me at the end of this, especially Courtney, our producer, did,

324
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 1: I gotta give y'all my Drake story with a hot

325
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 1: mic is pretty funny. But we got a New York

326
00:15:56,160 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: ABC seven anchor Ken Risotto immediately, hold on, let me

327
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 1: say it like they said, well, Bernie maximum immediately he

328
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 1: got fired after hot mic insult aimed at his co

00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 1: anchor told y'all man that co anchor gang, y'all don't

330
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 1: know how many people really don't like each other, but

331
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 1: they be up there swearing.

332
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 2: And hugging and kicking it. Oh the Jets go win

333
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 2: by three? No, I think by four? Oh, I love

334
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 2: you cut And then they'd be like, man, I can't

335
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 2: stand y it.

336
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 1: It's like, for real, it's just hilarious how people have

337
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 1: to fake chemistry. Well, obviously this was faked, and then

338
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 1: they got real local New York anchor Kim Risotto was

339
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 1: axed give me that from ABC seven for alleged C

340
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 1: word insult.

341
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 2: And it wasn't crip homie. He said something else aimed at.

342
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 1: His co anchor Shirlean allcot Now y'all know what the

343
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 1: SA word was, right, Long time and local Eyewitness News

344
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 1: this morning anchor was immediately fired after he called her

345
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 1: that on a hot mic.

346
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 2: Whoa first of all.

347
00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 1: Eyewitness news in the morning. You were a big time

348
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 1: bruh and in New York. Damn dog, what a way

349
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,880
Speaker 1: to go out out like a sucker. Rosaldo was off

350
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 1: the air even worse. You got fired on your day off.

351
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:11,399
Speaker 1: You weren't even working like that moment.

352
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 2: You weren't even doing nothing. He was off the air

353
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 2: when he allegedly uttered the word uttered the word that

354
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 2: means probably under his breath, right, but that mic, oh,

355
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 2: he catches at all.

356
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 1: He was told by insiders previously that his remark was

357
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 1: picked up on an open mic and that he was

358
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 1: immediately let go.

359
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 2: That was the trial right there.

360
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 1: As soon as they heard it, they said, what he's

361
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 1: Oh he gone, Peace Security, go get him out seven.

362
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 1: Rosalto's rep would not confirm or denied that he referred

363
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 1: to his colleague with the sea word, though his rep

364
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 1: had previously quickly shut down the insider speculation that the

365
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 1: anchor was caught on an open mic making racial remarks,

366
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:50,400
Speaker 1: y'all catch that.

367
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:55,399
Speaker 2: He like, Oh, I said the sea word. I don't know.

368
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 2: I don't know what you're gonna say. I don't know.

369
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:01,119
Speaker 2: Play back to tape. But you said something that no, no, no, no, no,

370
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,639
Speaker 2: he said in word. He's so crazy. These people in

371
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 2: a different space right now.

372
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 1: Said quote being fired for any racial slurs one hundred

373
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 1: percent inaccurate and untrue. Ken Rizzotto had a benchmark of

374
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 1: twenty years at WABC of supporting all equality. Casts out

375
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 1: here pandering like dall, ain't nobody caring about women being

376
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 1: called seas, but everybody cared about a black person getting

377
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 1: called in word.

378
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 2: So not me.

379
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 1: I'm trying to get another job. Go get another job

380
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,440
Speaker 1: at the Collinger the Sea. Y'all get the point, all right?

381
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 1: So the people at ABC did not return the reporter's cause. Now,

382
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,119
Speaker 1: let me give y'all a road to this, because this

383
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,679
Speaker 1: is crazy. He started working at the station as a

384
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:42,879
Speaker 1: free lance reporter in two thousand and three. He put

385
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 1: twenty on it, two dimes of work on his resume

386
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:49,880
Speaker 1: at this place, later promoted to the morning.

387
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 2: And noon anchored. I mean in New York. Oh, he

388
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 2: eating he was doing all right, girl, and the station.

389
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 1: They haven't announced his public exit just yet, but they

390
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 1: said he's no longer with WABC.

391
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 2: I guess he's out on sick leave forever. That's what

392
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 2: that sounds like. And we thank him for his year

393
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 2: as a service. All right, here we go.

394
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:15,160
Speaker 1: It's been happening a lot lately, these hot mic these

395
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 1: people just from a hot mic to just people actually

396
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 1: on air just saying stuff and slipping up the tongue

397
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 1: or Frodian slips.

398
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 2: We got all those, right.

399
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 1: We also got guys who are just turning on Instagram

400
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 1: live like Jahn Morant, filming themselves doing things that are irresponsible.

401
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:32,880
Speaker 2: All this going on, what's going on?

402
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,360
Speaker 1: Well, one, if you want to look at it from

403
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:41,199
Speaker 1: a sociological perspective, we are getting way too comfortable with

404
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:43,920
Speaker 1: this thing right here, you know. And a guy who's

405
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 1: been twenty years in the game, way too comfortable with

406
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 1: this thing right here. I ain't about to talk on me.

407
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 1: I'm talking about right here. That's called a microphone, right

408
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 1: you start forgetting the lines get blurred. Next thing, you know,

409
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 1: reality and performance are the same thing to you. I

410
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 1: should know that be because I'm going through that in

411
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 1: the episodes that I'm doing.

412
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 2: With my wife. Like you get so casual in your

413
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 2: in your public display.

414
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 1: You forgot nobody is telling everybody everything correct. That's why

415
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 1: we got group text. You really want to keep it real,

416
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 1: do a group text. That's all you gotta do, you know,

417
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 1: go on your group text and hit the sea word.

418
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:22,639
Speaker 1: You ain't gotta go say it all your mouth at

419
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:26,440
Speaker 1: work on a hot mic man. So that's a bad

420
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 1: way to go out. Here we go. Here's another thing

421
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 1: about it. Was it the right decision, like no time wasted?

422
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,159
Speaker 1: Get them out of here? Yes, it was. It's not

423
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 1: so much because of the sea word. Somebody was already

424
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 1: on their keyboard hitting me up.

425
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:44,440
Speaker 2: Why do you gonna lose your whole career over one word?

426
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 1: Come on, calm down, It's not just his whole career

427
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 1: over one word. You gotta think about when you're team

428
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 1: building and they're running a new station, right, that is

429
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 1: built on people in the community trusting them to give

430
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 1: them information. And part of that trust is those people

431
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,639
Speaker 1: up there not only are giving it to me straight,

432
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 1: but also I like that they actually have a dynamic,

433
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:12,159
Speaker 1: They have a respect for each other, some form of

434
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,879
Speaker 1: relationship right because they're forming a relationship with me.

435
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:16,439
Speaker 2: I want to make sure I got.

436
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:19,439
Speaker 1: That triangular effect when you see those co hosts. But

437
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:25,120
Speaker 1: nothing goes well when the bosses catch when that y'all beefing.

438
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:30,440
Speaker 1: I've been several places where I've seen guys get fired

439
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 1: or moved in different directions simply because they ain't get along.

440
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 2: Simple as that, y'all. Remember when Nick Wright and Chris.

441
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 1: Carter did not get along, well, they had to go

442
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 1: their separate ways. It's not always a demotion or promotion

443
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 1: or firing, but certainly we gonna separate, y'all. How about

444
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 1: separate but equal. You go there, you go there in

445
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 1: your corner, and you guys go on. That's the dynamic

446
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 1: at place. So beyond the C word, which is I

447
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 1: don't even think it's redeemed, but yeah, you should get

448
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 1: employed again, do your job, morant therapy for a day,

449
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 1: and then.

450
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:07,880
Speaker 2: You know, come back. I'm never gonna say the see

451
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,159
Speaker 2: word again, CUK like you know whatever he gonna do.

452
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:11,640
Speaker 2: But the point being.

453
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 1: For real, you just can't have that dynamic working together,

454
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 1: not when those who are writing the checks and those

455
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:21,479
Speaker 1: who have the authority actually catch witness of that. So

456
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 1: how would she feel going back talking about the next show,

457
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:25,640
Speaker 1: and you know it news.

458
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 2: All it is is murder arson robbery, murder arson robbery.

459
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 1: And then always saved the dog from running across the

460
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:34,919
Speaker 1: street and a cat from a tree.

461
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 2: That's all it is.

462
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 1: So that dynamic was severed as soon as he let

463
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:42,959
Speaker 1: that word out. Cook thanking you for your viewership on

464

Speaker 1: this coming, part of Doc had to see this coming.

470
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:06,360
Speaker 2: But it's okay. They still gonna pay me, that's what

471
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 2: they gonna do. And I'm gonna call the damn NBA

472
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 2: finals on ABC. That's what's happening right now.

473
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 1: Doc Rivers dismissed the team announced some people were already

474
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 1: calling for his head. I mean, look, in any situation

475
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 1: where you underachieved, you come up short. People looking for

476
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:27,920
Speaker 1: somebody's head to roll, and you can't fire the whole team.

477
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,640
Speaker 2: You can't cut the whole team. So they usually look

478
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 2: for the one who's.

479
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:35,359
Speaker 1: A figurehead right the face of grab one of them

480
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:37,680
Speaker 1: instead of trying to grab them all because it wasn't

481
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 1: work that way. So Doc Rivers is now on the

482
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:44,680
Speaker 1: chopping block. Seventy six were eliminated. We saw the Eastern

483
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:50,199
Speaker 1: Conference semifinals for the one two third straight season, and

484
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 1: they lost that game seven to Boston on Sunday.

485
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 2: Now, Doc Rivers recorded his NBA record.

486
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:02,880
Speaker 1: You don't want this record, y'all game seven defeat, including

487
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:06,719
Speaker 1: five in a row. I am just the problem with Google.

488
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:10,159
Speaker 1: This is the problem with analytics and Google. It's some

489
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:12,919
Speaker 1: nerd up there in that Sixers organization, and you know

490
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 1: he over the ears, he's dropping.

491
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:16,160
Speaker 2: You know, he ear hustling. He hear him in there

492
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 2: talking what do you think about Doc? Man? Will you think?

493
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 1: And somebody's like, nah, man, Doc got the room still,

494
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:23,439
Speaker 1: he got the locker room, he got the guys buying in.

495
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,680
Speaker 1: Even the NB went after game seven, is said it's

496
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 1: not Doc Rivers, right, James Harden said his relationship's okay

497
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:30,440
Speaker 1: with him.

498
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:32,120
Speaker 2: I can't say it's Doc Rivers.

499
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:35,199
Speaker 1: And then that little nerd who's sitting there with the

500
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 1: glass to the door listening, said wait a minute. I

501
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:40,679
Speaker 1: don't think they understand Doc Rivers. Let me give it

502
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:43,959
Speaker 1: to them simply in the elevator pitch and when you

503
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 1: read that'sat line that that dude has had ten game

504
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 1: seven losses, include five half of them in a row,

505
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:54,880
Speaker 1: and it's going on right now currently.

506
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:59,639
Speaker 2: Whoa that will switch your head? That will turn your head?

507
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:03,640
Speaker 1: No other head coaches more five game seven losses than

508
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,440
Speaker 1: Doc Rivers. Obviously led for most of the first half

509
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 1: of that game, then the second half came out and

510
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:12,360
Speaker 1: they got bum rushed. What happens in the second half

511
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 1: Usually when you get bum rushed, people always attributed to

512
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 1: those halftime moments. Did you get the proper adjustments, did

513
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:22,440
Speaker 1: you get the proper coaching? What happened? Basically you get

514
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:25,199
Speaker 1: out coaching the second half. So now they're expecting to

515
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:29,640
Speaker 1: hire a list of candidates, bring them in for interviews.

516
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 1: Mike Budenholzer, Sam Cassell, Dan tone Man, y'all so stupid, boy,

517
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:40,359
Speaker 1: just be recurgitating names if Mike D'Antoni, Nick Nurse, Frank

518
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:43,399
Speaker 1: vogel Manni Williams. It's so crazy, like you get fired

519
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:45,879
Speaker 1: from there, then you go here, and they expected to

520
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 1: be better there when it was good there, and you

521
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 1: were good there, like Minnie Williams was good there, but

522
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 1: he gonna be better in Philadelphia. I mean, I guess

523
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:57,160
Speaker 1: chemistry does matter. Those are the lists of candidates so far.

524
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,640
Speaker 1: Doc Rivers went out there in this three years sixty

525
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 1: five percent win percentage.

526
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,120
Speaker 2: Gotta love that, and that's the most in the.

527
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:08,919
Speaker 1: Franchise since the AI era two thousand and two thousand

528
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 1: and one. Here's the love that you get from the

529
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 1: organization when they want to just nicely and gently lay

530
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 1: you flat on your back. Doc is one of the

531
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 1: most successful coaches in NBA history. While you fired me,

532
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 1: there a future Hall of Famer and someone I respect immensely.

533
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:29,880
Speaker 2: I'm listening say what you really want to say. We're

534
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 2: grateful for all he.

535
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 1: Did in his three seasons here and thank him for

536
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:35,879
Speaker 1: the important impact he made on our franchise. Can you

537
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 1: hurry up and say what you really mean? After having

538
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:40,439
Speaker 1: a chance, here we go. After having a chance to

539
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:42,640
Speaker 1: reflect upon our season, we decided that.

540
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 2: Certain changes going to Nick, a change.

541
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:50,680
Speaker 1: Are necessary to further our goals of competing for a championship.

542
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 1: Daryl Moury said that d Darryl Mooy, Yeah, Houston guy

543
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 1: Darryl Mory got the power to do that to Doc Rivers.

544
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:03,200
Speaker 2: That crazy game is twisted, y'all. Hilarious.

545
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 1: So now the Sixers joined the Bucks, the Suns, the Raptors,

546
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:15,399
Speaker 1: and the Pistons. All teams would head coach openings and won.

547
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 1: Two of those teams just.

548
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 2: Won a championship and the third one was just in

549
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:24,160
Speaker 2: the championship. Man, the game. Don't wait right now, it

550
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:26,440
Speaker 2: is cut rope out there.

551
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 1: Now, Doc Rivers may not be in that respect because

552
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 1: he didn't win a championship and he didn't even get

553
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 1: the team to a championship. Matter of fact, didn't get

554
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:38,680
Speaker 1: him past the conference semifinals. But still Doc Rivers, y'all,

555
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 1: they don't see it like that. And he just delivered

556
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:47,440
Speaker 1: his sixteenth straight winning season. But is that really a thing?

557
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:50,399
Speaker 1: Because forty one and forty one is five hundred, so

558
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 1: you won forty two games and more?

559
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:53,920
Speaker 2: Are you really that guy?

560
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:56,440
Speaker 1: So people want to know what's the reason why Doc

561
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 1: Rivers got to let go and why is he always

562
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:02,680
Speaker 1: fall short and high pressure high state games? And did

563
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 1: he deserve to be fired? Let me say this, let

564
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 1: me give you a little speculation on this. People who

565
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 1: don't do well in high state games tend to be

566
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 1: two types.

567
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 2: One is somebody who's rapped too tight. Right.

568
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning came to mind early. Peyton Manning right because

569
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 1: he sold them sold THEMN locked in. He sold them

570
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 1: intense in normal situations. He's so intense that when the

571
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 1: situation is actually intense, oh man, he's boiling over right.

572
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:34,879
Speaker 1: He's actually not as efficient. So that was one, But

573
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,199
Speaker 1: that's not doc Rivers. He doesn't seem rap tight. I

574
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 1: know him personally, so I know he's not rap tight.

575
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 1: The other part is attention to detail when it doesn't matter.

576
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 2: Y'all get that attention to detail when it doesn't matter, because.

577
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 1: When it does matter, guess what, it's too late to

578
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 1: pay attention to detail because they are too and they

579
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 1: might have momentum and talent going for him, as well

580
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 1: as the history of paying attention to those details. So basically,

581
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:09,239
Speaker 1: y'all ever seen the most talented team lose to the

582
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 1: most disciplined team.

583
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 2: We see it all the time. We even racialize it, right.

584
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 1: You always talk about the hood team, the all black

585
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 1: team going out to the suburbs, and the all white team.

586
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 1: Then you be all the hood team got more talent

587
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 1: than the white team, more disciplined. We've seen it, we

588
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 1: generalized it, we stereotyped it, we really actually experienced.

589
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 2: It right, And then as you know, you're like, yoh,

590
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 2: y'all lose because this type fist.

591
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 1: Beats, these fingers played everywhere in different directions. So attention

592
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 1: to detail matters when it doesn't matter.

593
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 2: And I'm not so certain watching the seven footer like

594
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 2: in bad hitting like step back threes and dribbled drive

595
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 2: back pedaling to threes is the best way to play him, right.

596
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 2: I know he's an amazing perimeter player.

597
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 1: I know he's amazing with his back to the basket,

598
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 1: So it's like he can do it all. But those

599
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 1: details get highlighted when you get into the postseason because

600
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 1: now teams are going to put you in your sour spot,

601
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 1: not your sweet spot, in your sour spot, and now

602
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:14,719
Speaker 1: what's your plan be I know this from coaching just

603
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 1: a few years. I've been coaching, like in high intense moments,

604
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 1: who can clearly think.

605
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 2: Through those situations.

606
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 1: Maybe doc gets a little foggy, maybe those adjustments are

607
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 1: so thorough, whatever it is in that moment when the

608
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:32,720
Speaker 1: fire is burning and the temperature is rising. Other coaches

609
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 1: are finding ways, even in the game seven, finding ways

610
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 1: to see clearly the path of here where Doc Rivers

611
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 1: gets bogged down, especially in so many high intense moments.

612
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:47,960
Speaker 1: So I think that's pretty much sums up what Doc

613
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 1: Rivers is going through. Question is if he's trying to

614
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 1: come to your team, if you want Doc Rivers as

615
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:55,960
Speaker 1: your coach, raise your head.

616
00:30:57,680 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 2: I don't see anybody.

617
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 1: Let me stop case, y'all anyway, But the point is,

618
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 1: do you want Doc Rivers as the coach of your

619
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 1: favorite basketball team? Because it looks like people in Philadelphia

620
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 1: have raised their head and they have said, nah, no more,

621
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 1: not us, peace out.

622
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 2: B all right, y'all, y'all. Now we in every show

623
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 2: with a wiy is. This is a good one, but

624
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 2: it's gonna take a second.

625
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 1: By working faithfully eight hours a day, you may eventually

626
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 1: get to be the boss and work twelve hours a day.

627
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:30,520
Speaker 2: Oh. I had to bring that one. I saw that one.

628
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 1: I was like, man, that's a long run a run

629
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 1: on sentence. That's too damn long. Then I was like,

630
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 1: but it's so damn poignant. It's so important to know that,

631
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 1: no matter what level you are, people think that the

632
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 1: higher you get, the less you gotta do.

633
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 2: To a point, you gotta get there first. So to

634
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 2: be the boss, it costs to be the boss, right,

635
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 2: So you was like, oh, man, I'm out here grinding

636
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 2: for him.

637
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 1: That sucker be grinding too, man, cause he gotta watch

638
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 1: over all this and make sure all of this is

639
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 1: still going on that way, and normally it's him having

640
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 1: to make sure that has occurred. And everybody knows that

641
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 1: true power is in you actually delegating. So true power

642
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 1: is having the authority, having the supervision that you can

643
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 1: delegate to others.

644
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 2: But you still got to put in that work, right.

645
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 2: So it's like almost a kid who goes from high

646
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 2: school to college and college to the pros and he

647
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:25,719
Speaker 2: think he made it.

648
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:29,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you made it from having to work on

649
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 1: your game three four hours a day till you better

650
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 1: work on it six and seven hours a day or

651
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 1: else you ain't gonna make it far. So by working

Speaker 1: faithfully eight hours a day, you may eventually get to

653
