No, no, no, 0:00:38.200 --> 0:00:40.120 It's like I also think there's like an element of 0:00:40.159 --> 0:00:43.479 the sweat in the air and then a little just 0:00:43.479 --> 0:00:45.600 a dash of desperation. 0:00:46.680 --> 0:00:49.879 And I would say the darkness that that nice darkness 0:00:49.920 --> 0:00:52.519 it puts on the wings where you you see some 0:00:52.600 --> 0:00:55.200 titties and then you gotta search a little for the wing. 0:00:55.560 --> 0:00:58.880 It just makes it this romantic sort of experience. 0:00:58.960 --> 0:01:00.920 Oh my god.

Welcome O Mama's and 0:01:45.640 --> 0:01:49.720 gentiles alike to another phenomenal episode of My Mama. 0:01:49.520 --> 0:01:52.800 Told Me, the podcast where we dive deep deep into 0:01:52.840 --> 0:01:55.560 the pockets of black conspiracy theories and. 0:01:55.560 --> 0:01:58.960 We finally worked to prove whatever bullshit we feel about 0:01:59.120 --> 0:02:02.920 talking Today. I said about talking, and it doesn't matter. 0:02:03.560 --> 0:02:04.480 I listen anyways. 0:02:04.520 --> 0:02:07.240 You know, Pig, I wasn't gonna correct his sentence at all. 0:02:07.400 --> 0:02:09.680 I know it. It was just telling me I felt 0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:11.880 bad you you could feel that that's not the way 0:02:11.919 --> 0:02:14.840 you wanted to say it immediately. Uh, you know what 0:02:14.919 --> 0:02:16.600 I've been thinking about though, This is what I came 0:02:16.639 --> 0:02:20.160 and I wanted to talk about those little robots that 0:02:20.200 --> 0:02:22.639 they have all over La. I took a walk this morning. 0:02:23.120 --> 0:02:25.600 I realized, I think they make them look so cute 0:02:25.639 --> 0:02:28.480 and dispatch them in the morning because they want you 0:02:28.560 --> 0:02:30.880 to think about little kids on their way to school 0:02:31.320 --> 0:02:35.360 and feel like they're innocuous. Like because I was looking 0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:37.600 at it and it's just so cute, and it's like 0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:40.160 it's stopped. It looks like a kid with a big 0:02:40.200 --> 0:02:43.600 ass backpack. And big ass glasses walking school. And they 0:02:43.600 --> 0:02:45.880 want you to think that so that you don't understand 0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:49.079 that that's the enemy, so so that you you want 0:02:49.120 --> 0:02:52.160 to protect them. That's it was so cute when I 0:02:52.240 --> 0:02:53.960 was walking, That's all I kept thinking. I was like, 0:02:54.280 --> 0:02:56.240 it was a cute little robot. I want to keep 0:02:56.280 --> 0:02:56.679 him safe. 0:02:56.720 --> 0:02:59.400 Yeah, look, big robot eyes he got stop if you 0:02:59.440 --> 0:03:04.519 can't walk wabbling And that's not we need ugly robots, bro. 0:03:04.760 --> 0:03:07.560 I like that. I think that is like that's the future, 0:03:07.760 --> 0:03:10.280 is like we need laws that robots have to be. 0:03:10.480 --> 0:03:13.240 That is crazy that when they start building sort of 0:03:13.280 --> 0:03:16.680 these humanoid robots and they've already, you know, had versions 0:03:16.720 --> 0:03:20.840 of these things happened, they always make them baddies. They 0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:24.079 don't never make them a little ugly ghoul. That is 0:03:24.160 --> 0:03:28.200 probably frankly more common in the human experience than the 0:03:28.280 --> 0:03:28.919 batties are. 0:03:29.440 --> 0:03:30.920 I'm telling you, they want you to fuck them. They 0:03:30.919 --> 0:03:33.320 want you to think they're c you. They want you 0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:36.200 to want to protect like they don't want Like, Bro, 0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:39.000 if you you get a robot that just looks like 0:03:39.400 --> 0:03:42.440 a manager at Sally's Beauty supply, you're not gonna You're 0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:43.720 not gonna feel any way towards it. 0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:50.640 Yeah, give me that, Sam, Sam Cassell, Robot Bro already 0:03:52.040 --> 0:03:57.360 mind this business, no episode.

I'm 0:04:05.440 --> 0:04:07.120 just saying that's what we should be looking at. 0:04:07.240 --> 0:04:09.480 We should be looking at, and I do want to know, 0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:13.560 just for the listenership. I like ugly people better. I 0:04:13.560 --> 0:04:17.320 do think that's cooler. I think it's like a greater 0:04:17.400 --> 0:04:21.920 distance to travel to be successful, especially in media and entertainment. 0:04:21.440 --> 0:04:25.000 If you are ugly.

I'm having a good time. 0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:21.280 Jasiah, you came to us today with the conspiracy that 0:09:21.679 --> 0:09:25.200 I frankly knew about but had never put a lot 0:09:25.200 --> 0:09:27.840 of thought into. You know, it's one of those that 0:09:27.920 --> 0:09:31.440 I think is rumored in such a way as like, oh, 0:09:31.600 --> 0:09:34.679 I don't know how to unpack the truth and not 0:09:34.760 --> 0:09:39.880 truth from this. But you said that my mama told me. 0:09:41.000 --> 0:09:44.520 In nineteen eighty five NBA draft was read. 0:09:49.000 --> 0:09:51.600 Uh, let me use the words wisely because I'm hoping 0:09:51.640 --> 0:09:54.480 to get credential by the NBA some day. The King 0:09:54.640 --> 0:09:57.480 NBA quitter that wasn't very fruitful and actually getting any 0:09:57.480 --> 0:09:59.800 love from the league so long tickets, Yeah. 0:10:00.840 --> 0:10:01.560 Every every time. 0:10:01.679 --> 0:10:04.480 So we put credential requests out and I'm literally at 0:10:04.480 --> 0:10:06.520 this points like two or three days a week before 0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:09.400 the event. So let's says our weekend summerly, whatever it is, 0:10:09.960 --> 0:10:11.160 your credential has been denied. 0:10:11.200 --> 0:10:11.680 I'm like, damn. 0:10:11.679 --> 0:10:13.520 But I see all the people that are there, and 0:10:13.559 --> 0:10:15.040 I know I'm working hard for the league, but I'm 0:10:15.240 --> 0:10:16.160 a big NBA fan. 0:10:16.280 --> 0:10:16.920 I love the league. 0:10:16.920 --> 0:10:18.440 My dad played in the NBA back in the day, 0:10:19.040 --> 0:10:21.240 and for me, it's like you look at leagues like 0:10:21.280 --> 0:10:22.920 the NFL. Right, you're the worst team in the NFL, 0:10:22.960 --> 0:10:24.520 you get the number one pick, as it should be, 0:10:24.559 --> 0:10:26.720 you have the worst record you deserve to have. So 0:10:26.760 --> 0:10:29.000 the NBA has always had this like ping pong lottery 0:10:29.160 --> 0:10:31.800 like as you know, I think eighties was when it 0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:34.679 first started. But they tell this story back in the day, 0:10:34.800 --> 0:10:37.640 David Stern obviously, Nick's you know Patrick Ewing coming out 0:10:37.640 --> 0:10:38.840 of Georgetown. 0:10:38.360 --> 0:10:41.199 And in New Yorker David Stern, which is important and New. 0:10:41.200 --> 0:10:43.240 York or Patrick Ewing if I'm not mistaken. 0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:49.559 From Boston, but then then went to New York by 0:10:49.640 --> 0:10:50.520 way of Jamaica. 0:10:50.760 --> 0:10:53.280 Yeah, he's Jamaica. 0:10:54.600 --> 0:10:57.920 And Jamaica Queens confused but shout out, shout out to 0:10:57.960 --> 0:11:01.440 Patrick Ewing. But number one player in college at that point. 0:11:01.800 --> 0:11:03.440 So they show the video and if you go through 0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:05.840 and watch it, they basically like have this big like 0:11:05.920 --> 0:11:09.000 tumble thing with all the different envelopes in it. So 0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:10.800 they spend it a couple of times. But you see 0:11:10.840 --> 0:11:13.240 him kind of reaching there, feel around, and there was 0:11:13.280 --> 0:11:15.240 always saying the envelope was frozen or it was a 0:11:15.280 --> 0:11:16.120 little bit lighter, and there. 0:11:16.120 --> 0:11:16.720 Was something going on. 0:11:16.760 --> 0:11:19.040 He just happens to to yank get out. Hey I'm 0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:21.400 not looking, but hey, Yank, get out of here. The 0:11:21.440 --> 0:11:23.360 New York Knicks get the number one pick and they 0:11:23.640 --> 0:11:26.200 end up getting Patrick Ewing obviously, And you talk about 0:11:26.200 --> 0:11:29.640 the league that even nowadays with viewership issues and even 0:11:29.640 --> 0:11:32.960 stuff we saw in contemporary draft lottery time like the 0:11:32.960 --> 0:11:35.719 one that was recent, it always seems to work out 0:11:35.720 --> 0:11:37.640 that way. You got Lebron James coming out of high 0:11:37.640 --> 0:11:40.600 school after in Ohio. What do you know, Cleveland Cavs 0:11:40.600 --> 0:11:41.400 get the number one pick. 0:11:41.520 --> 0:11:44.720 Derrick Grosse has a Denver pers native. Not a great 0:11:44.720 --> 0:11:47.600 time for me. Oh you you thought you had a shot. 0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:50.199 I thought I was like, man. 0:11:50.240 --> 0:11:51.560 I ain't good mellow, so shit. 0:11:51.640 --> 0:11:53.600 I mean, yeah, it was cool, but I was like, 0:11:53.679 --> 0:11:56.280 we're getting new jerseys, We're getting lebron. 0:11:57.160 --> 0:12:00.360 You know what's crazy. I never thought anyone else had 0:12:00.360 --> 0:12:03.000 a shot. I mean because you weren't number two though, 0:12:04.320 --> 0:12:06.520 you know what I mean. It was I feel like 0:12:06.559 --> 0:12:08.720 it was like we were close enough that it was like, no, 0:12:08.840 --> 0:12:09.839 this could really. 0:12:09.679 --> 0:12:13.240 Really you really believed in the possibility of what this 0:12:13.280 --> 0:12:15.079 could be. And then I was like, it's going to 0:12:15.160 --> 0:12:18.600 be that we're gonna have some great colorway that's coming 0:12:18.640 --> 0:12:21.040 out to I was like, the city is gonna change. 0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:25.520 And then they hit us with sky blue. Yeah, that 0:12:25.640 --> 0:12:29.120 was a bad run, brother, it was you know, it's 0:12:29.160 --> 0:12:32.720 like it's like the way my heart sank when I 0:12:32.760 --> 0:12:36.079 saw it, and I'm just like, oh man, that ship 0:12:36.160 --> 0:12:39.400 was really upsetting his baby. Blue is a terrible color, 0:12:39.640 --> 0:12:45.079 especially for fat guys. It's not it's not good. It's 0:12:45.120 --> 0:12:48.160 not flattering. It's not flattering at all. It's like black, 0:12:49.160 --> 0:12:52.280 come on. And then it's like, you had a jersey 0:12:52.400 --> 0:12:54.480 that can make a guy like Kenyon Martin not look 0:12:54.520 --> 0:12:59.640 cool that it was impressive. That's work, that's work. Yeah, 0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:04.199 gonna watch this, oh Man, man look cool and everything. Yeah, 0:13:05.760 --> 0:13:06.160 dug night. 0:13:06.800 --> 0:13:12.439 Yeah, So so you obviously that you're a kid at 0:13:12.440 --> 0:13:14.000 this point, I'm three years old. 0:13:14.000 --> 0:13:15.800 With three years old, it's happening. 0:13:15.840 --> 0:13:18.079 So you're eighty two obviously, Draft eighty five. 0:13:19.000 --> 0:13:21.880 You're you're you're not aware that this is happening. At 0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:24.200 what point does this get on your radar? 0:13:24.440 --> 0:13:27.960 Well, when you just see over the years how convenient 0:13:27.960 --> 0:13:31.440 it is even now twenty twenty five, MAVs trade Luca 0:13:31.679 --> 0:13:33.840 to kick off Black History, Mother, bring him to the Lakers. 0:13:34.040 --> 0:13:38.000 God bless Nico Harrison. Nico gets a lot of heat hated. 0:13:37.800 --> 0:13:40.319 Person in the league. They booing him at medieval times. 0:13:40.240 --> 0:13:42.800 More here you mean just eating him alive. 0:13:44.320 --> 0:13:47.439 He looked like Jafar from Aladdin. What the grill grill look? 0:13:47.520 --> 0:13:51.560 But so Trey Luco away for seemingly not a ton 0:13:51.640 --> 0:13:55.320 of return, right, no disrespect to to Anthony Davis or 0:13:55.320 --> 0:13:57.440 Max Christie or one first round draft pick. But we've 0:13:57.440 --> 0:14:00.200 seen Rudy Gobert go for five six first round Andrew 0:14:00.240 --> 0:14:02.280 saw mchal Bridge is going to the Knicks for five 0:14:02.320 --> 0:14:05.400 first rounders, Like, yeah, good generational talent, you know what 0:14:05.400 --> 0:14:09.400 I mean? All NBA perennial first team all NBA. Yeah, 0:14:09.440 --> 0:14:13.160 we didn't we getting Max Christy in the first round pick. 0:14:13.200 --> 0:14:14.559 We thought it was highway Robberts. 0:14:14.360 --> 0:14:17.240 And Anthony Davis. That don't look even close to the 0:14:17.280 --> 0:14:18.640 Anthony Davis hes. 0:14:19.640 --> 0:14:22.440 It gets hurt, I think before that came back, got hurt. 0:14:22.440 --> 0:14:25.440 But then they end up going they make the playing 0:14:26.120 --> 0:14:28.840 win their first game, and it's like and then I 0:14:28.920 --> 0:14:30.240 do a show with Gill and Gil the whole time, 0:14:30.320 --> 0:14:32.080 like what the fuck y'all doing? Man, Like, like you 0:14:32.120 --> 0:14:33.880 have a chance to now build through the draft, Like 0:14:33.920 --> 0:14:35.680 why would you ever want to go to the playoffs? 0:14:36.000 --> 0:14:37.160 End up, I think they would have got the AC 0:14:37.360 --> 0:14:39.560 end up getting swept by the thunder. You're not gonna 0:14:39.600 --> 0:14:41.760 You're not gonna do anything. So his whole thing, and 0:14:41.800 --> 0:14:43.920 I agree, is like you're not gonna win the championship. 0:14:43.920 --> 0:14:45.320 There's like four or five teams every year that are 0:14:45.360 --> 0:14:46.920 trying to win a championship. If you're not trying to 0:14:46.920 --> 0:14:49.080 win a championship, you might as well not tank it, 0:14:49.160 --> 0:14:51.160 but not just give your best effort whatever whatever's in 0:14:51.200 --> 0:14:51.680 between there. 0:14:51.840 --> 0:14:56.640 Yeah, it feels it feels crazy that the playoff team 0:14:57.520 --> 0:15:03.160 got the pick. Not like objectively that feels nothing where 0:15:03.160 --> 0:15:06.560 like we historically don't ever see that of like you 0:15:06.640 --> 0:15:09.120 went to the playoffs and you still get the best. 0:15:09.200 --> 0:15:11.560 Yeah, that seems it just doesn't. It's not like a 0:15:12.160 --> 0:15:13.720 it's not like a fair situation. 0:15:14.120 --> 0:15:14.720 It's a bullshit. 0:15:14.840 --> 0:15:17.320 I think there were eleventh overall of the fourteen lottery 0:15:17.360 --> 0:15:19.280 teams in terms of I think it was like one 0:15:19.320 --> 0:15:21.960 point eight percent chance of getting that pick. Meanwhile, you 0:15:22.040 --> 0:15:24.080 got the Hornets who are trash, You got the Jazz 0:15:24.080 --> 0:15:26.360 who are trash. You got the Wizards who are absolutely trashed. 0:15:26.400 --> 0:15:29.320 Don't forget about the Chicago Bulls were always rooting for them. 0:15:29.160 --> 0:15:33.120 But the Bulls got him. That giddy shot still haunts 0:15:33.120 --> 0:15:36.800 me man like watching that. We do Workings Company playback, 0:15:36.880 --> 0:15:38.760 so we stream live game. So we're doing that game, 0:15:38.840 --> 0:15:40.840 going crazy thinking the Lakers go win. The fucker has 0:15:40.840 --> 0:15:41.680 a half quarter. 0:15:43.160 --> 0:15:43.440 Man. 0:15:43.520 --> 0:15:46.120 But the Bulls getting screwed. I think it's the second time, 0:15:46.160 --> 0:15:48.080 if I'm not mistaken. So I want to say the 0:15:48.360 --> 0:15:50.600 Bulls and the MAVs have the same records with basically 0:15:50.600 --> 0:15:52.400 a coin flip to see who got that eleven spot. 0:15:52.440 --> 0:15:54.640 That eleven spot ends up getting the number one overall pick. 0:15:55.200 --> 0:15:56.840 Bulls get kind of screwed out of it. I want 0:15:56.840 --> 0:15:59.320 to say the second time it happened with them in 0:15:59.360 --> 0:16:01.640 the MAVs. Think the last time I have drafted Lucas. 0:16:01.640 --> 0:16:04.440 So it's kind of you know, ship going on. 0:16:04.520 --> 0:16:06.440 Here's my question. I feel like we open it up 0:16:06.480 --> 0:16:08.440 and we just say it. I feel like we've talked 0:16:08.440 --> 0:16:10.600 about it a lot on this podcast. How rig do 0:16:10.640 --> 0:16:12.400 you think the NBA is? I mean, that's what we're 0:16:12.400 --> 0:16:13.400 beating around the bush, right. 0:16:14.240 --> 0:16:18.480 The NBA is entertainment. So the NBA similar to wrestling entertainment. 0:16:18.840 --> 0:16:21.280 They don't really classify themselves as a sportsly we do, 0:16:21.680 --> 0:16:22.560 but I think, you know. 0:16:22.480 --> 0:16:24.320 When you get to you think they don't. 0:16:24.360 --> 0:16:26.160 I think they do it entertainment because it gives a 0:16:26.200 --> 0:16:28.440 little bit more leeway and flexibility in terms of how 0:16:28.440 --> 0:16:34.640 they operate from behind the scenes. It's entertainment rights there 0:16:34.680 --> 0:16:36.040 to entertain Uh. 0:16:36.120 --> 0:16:40.440 That's like lawyer talk. They hired it very powerful lawyers. 0:16:40.480 --> 0:16:42.760 The Crews all lawyers Deaver starting back in the day, 0:16:42.800 --> 0:16:44.680 like successful lawyer I believe worked for the league before 0:16:44.760 --> 0:16:45.680 ended up coming commissioner. 0:16:45.720 --> 0:16:48.640 I want to say. Adam Silver followed a similar trajectory on. 0:16:48.560 --> 0:16:53.040 His I'll tell you Jumping come on, come on, and 0:16:53.080 --> 0:16:54.960 for those who know that one of them boys put 0:16:54.960 --> 0:16:56.800 the ball on the court, not one. 0:16:56.800 --> 0:16:58.760 You talk about behind the scenes ship like you know, 0:16:58.840 --> 0:17:01.440 strong army. You know, Gil's got his dock out on 0:17:01.480 --> 0:17:06.119 Netflix now shooting guards. We were just watching and something 0:17:06.119 --> 0:17:08.000 he said, and I have no problem telling everybody on 0:17:08.040 --> 0:17:10.280 your show. But he said repeatedly, it was like Gil 0:17:10.359 --> 0:17:12.600 is a loophole expert, right, so Gil should. 0:17:12.320 --> 0:17:13.880 Have been a lawyer. I could really see that. 0:17:14.000 --> 0:17:16.480 So before he brought guns to the locker room, he researched, 0:17:16.480 --> 0:17:17.960 all right, what's the long as I can get suspended. 0:17:17.960 --> 0:17:20.280 It's like, all right, you know player X brought it in. 0:17:20.320 --> 0:17:22.240 He got two games. This player shot a gun. He 0:17:22.280 --> 0:17:24.400 got three games, like most I'm gonna get his five. 0:17:24.680 --> 0:17:30.440 That this is how he operates the life. 0:17:31.400 --> 0:17:34.399 I thought it was just being a silly billy. He's like, no, 0:17:34.520 --> 0:17:37.080 I'm gonna make sure. I'll put it into everything. 0:17:37.119 --> 0:17:39.280 So I'm like, must get his five games, but I'm 0:17:39.280 --> 0:17:42.600 gonna do it. That's how his mind was. He says. 0:17:42.640 --> 0:17:44.600 The reason he felt like he got punished is because 0:17:44.600 --> 0:17:46.760 they knew he was moving guns around, right. 0:17:46.720 --> 0:17:49.080 So that's what it ended up becoming. But if you 0:17:49.160 --> 0:17:51.280 go back to why he initially got suspended. It wasn't 0:17:51.280 --> 0:17:52.719 because the guns in the locker room, because they can 0:17:52.760 --> 0:17:54.720 never prove anything, right, This thing came out like a 0:17:54.720 --> 0:17:56.760 week or two after the fact. It was kind of 0:17:56.800 --> 0:17:58.880 just going around the locker room. Somebody ended up snitching 0:17:58.880 --> 0:18:01.280 to the press and then it went crazy. But that's 0:18:01.359 --> 0:18:02.919 all these dudes and you guys know, like we might 0:18:02.960 --> 0:18:04.520 have a situation here, we want to fight each other. 0:18:04.600 --> 0:18:04.879 Whatever. 0:18:05.320 --> 0:18:07.440 Now we're cool, but a week from now, we hear 0:18:07.520 --> 0:18:10.000 you know, we've moved on. We passed it. Everybody now 0:18:10.119 --> 0:18:11.679 was like, man, we've heard about that ship that went down. 0:18:11.760 --> 0:18:14.680 It's like, yeah, I forgot all about that. All y'all 0:18:14.720 --> 0:18:16.240 did bring thus in the locker room and I'm tripping, 0:18:16.280 --> 0:18:17.920 But you watch this guy. 0:18:19.480 --> 0:18:21.359 It is not that kind of environment here, though it 0:18:21.359 --> 0:18:25.480 would be crazy. It would fuck us up. Energy two 0:18:25.520 --> 0:18:28.320 guns and put on the couch and said, pick I 0:18:28.520 --> 0:18:30.359 tell on all y'all niggas immediately. 0:18:32.320 --> 0:18:33.000 But then you dig. 0:18:33.520 --> 0:18:35.920 And that's that's even the situation with John, Like John 0:18:36.119 --> 0:18:38.959 really get jammed up for the gun in the strip club, right, 0:18:39.040 --> 0:18:40.600 it was more like, well, how the gun get there? 0:18:40.680 --> 0:18:43.359 And oh really, how did you how did. 0:18:43.280 --> 0:18:44.960 You what's the relationships you. 0:18:44.920 --> 0:18:47.000 Bring that on on a team playing on a team bus, 0:18:47.040 --> 0:18:48.600 because now it becomes something deeper. 0:18:48.640 --> 0:18:50.160 But Guil didn't get suspended for the guns. 0:18:50.160 --> 0:18:52.560 He got suspended because he was in warm ups fucking 0:18:52.560 --> 0:18:54.879 around and he did the the finger guns. And then 0:18:54.960 --> 0:18:56.840
