20
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 2: Tell you that when when we're recording to early in

21
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 2: the morning, it was Monday morning, we John well, John's

22
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,759
Speaker 2: up earlierway, I woke up early for the podcast. That's

23
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 2: when I said I would do Tyler's name first to

24
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 2: give us a little extra energy. There we go, go,

25
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 2: all right, we've got the matchup for the finals. It's

26
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 2: gonna be Suns Bucks. Obviously we're talking about it with

27
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 2: Langston in a couple of minutes, but I wanted to

28
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 2: get your guys' take on First of all, did we

29
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,839
Speaker 2: call anything right with the Hawks the entire fucking playoffs.

30
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 2: I feel like every single thing we predicted was incorrect.

31
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 6: I don't know if I had them necessarily getting past

32
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 6: the Bucks. I think that's when I when I finally

33
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 6: got it right.

34
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 2: I think when it was to to I think the

35
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 2: podcast was like the Hawks looked because and then they

36
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 2: lost the next to.

37
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 1: Chris Middleton.

38
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 6: Chris Middleton, Chris Middleton became he became the Lebron James

39
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 6: of Chris Middleton.

40
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 7: I'm low key, I have a take, Nigga like, is

41
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 7: this Chris Middleton's team?

42
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,799
Speaker 6: Nigga, Like, we are not going to do that?

43
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: Absolutely not.

44
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 8: No, No lay game, late game, Chris Middleton's one. This

45
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 8: steps up, you know what I mean? But no, obviously

46
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 8: not I was not, but he is. I mean, he's

47
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,639
Speaker 8: become a He's proven himself like any daughters that we

48
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 8: had and doubts we had about Chris Middleton, it's a rap.

49
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 1: The man has looked great.

50
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 2: The funniest thing to me about Jannis not being American

51
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 2: is and this is a really underappreciated part of his

52
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 2: personality when people ask him these questions like Chris Middleton,

53
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 2: you know, being the guy in the fourth quarter. His

54
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 2: inability to understand why certain things are narratives to the

55
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 2: American media is so fucking funny because he's he looks

56
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 2: at it from a collectivist, non American perspective. That's not

57
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 2: like just sucking the dick of the alpha male narrative

58
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 2: like NonStop. He's just like, I have a great teammate

59
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 2: who's playing great in the fourth quarter. Why would I

60
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:21,799
Speaker 2: not be excited about this? But you know what I mean,

61
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,239
Speaker 2: Like he doesn't even get why they're asking him the question.

62
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 6: I was gonna say, like that whole question was the

63
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 6: was the total setup for the whole If you're not

64
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 6: the man late in the game, you're not the man

65
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 6: on your team. And I was like, man, I don't

66
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 6: give a shit, get the ball to the hot guy,

67
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 6: let him cook, like and it was like, you know

68
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 6: what I'm saying, Like the same shit when he said

69
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 6: KD was the best player in the world, like everyone's like, oh,

70
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 6: Yannis has given up, he's rolled over. He went out

71
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 6: there and gave KD that work in that game seven.

72
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 8: I don't I don't even know if it's because he's Greek.

73
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 8: I just think that's gianness. I think if Jannis was

74
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 8: a John, he'd tould be himself, you know what I'm saying.

75
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: I think Jiannis is just an honest dude.

76
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 8: He's just like it seems like his personality, you know

77
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 8: what I mean, more than like where he's from, you

78
00:03:59,440 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 8: know what I mean.

79
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: It's not just there's some other people from.

80
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 8: Like that that would come in from Greek and be

81
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 8: swinging off of somebody's you know, alva narrative, you know.

82
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 2: But it's a but it's a very like you have

83
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 2: to be the best team, you have to be the

84
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 2: best person. It's a very am like no one ever

85
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 2: asks a star soccer player in England like do you

86
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 2: feel threatened by your goalie making a great save? You

87
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:23,919
Speaker 2: know what I mean? It's like a uniquely like and

88
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 2: it's a quarterback. It's a football quarterback driven thing, you

89
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 2: know what I mean That it's like and we we

90
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 2: talked about on the show. Like That's what has always

91
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 2: made Kad so fascinating to me is personality wise, he's

92
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 2: just not I want to be an amazing I want

93
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 2: to be one of the best basketball players in the world.

94
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 2: I don't need to be the fucking guy. I don't

95
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 2: want to talk to the media like, you know what

96
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 2: I mean, Like, personalities of actual people don't always line

97
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 2: up with the narrative that the media wants for that,

98
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 2: you know, especially in the playoffs. That's my feeling about it.

99
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,840
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant just wants to be Kevin Durant, and that's

100
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 1: good enough. I'm Kevin Durant. You heard of me, haven't you? Right,

101
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,239
Speaker 1: Like that's all I gotta be, my nigga.

102
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 2: Kevin Durant got on Twitter on the fourth of July

103
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,359
Speaker 2: to say he's he's deleting tweets because it's part of

104
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 2: his brand.

105
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 1: Yo, he is leaned in and thank god for that.

106
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: But yeah, I just think, yeah, I don't, I don't know.

107
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 1: In soccer, somebody like notoriously was not good in big moments?

108
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 8: Would they not ask you that question overseas because it

109
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 8: seems like it's a similar type of I mean, to

110
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 8: a degree, He's just fairly similar.

111
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 2: In that basketball is a unique sport in that it

112
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 2: can be so dominated by one person, you know what

113
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 2: I mean. Like it's not that uncommon for the top

114
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,039
Speaker 2: soccer player in the world to not score a goal

115
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 2: in a game, for sure.

116
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 8: But I mean, yeah, yeah, but in big games, if

117
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 8: you're just trash, right, you know what I mean, Like

118
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 8: you just you know you're you're underplaying in big games,

119
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 8: big moments, you know what I mean.

120
00:05:56,360 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 2: The personality case, you know what I mean, the personality thing.

121
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 2: The personality thing is is sports media, I feel like

122
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 2: across the world, but it's just more of a tabloid

123
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 2: celebrity thing, and like overseas, whereas here it's like you're

124
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:14,679
Speaker 2: proving your worth as a person. You let someone else shoot.

125
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 2: I mean, we've seen that with Braun's whole career. You

126
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 2: let someone else take the last shot. You know, it's just.

127
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,280
Speaker 1: How dare you earn your thirty seven million away?

128
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 9: The buck?

129
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:27,799
Speaker 2: They're like, I did, so, So what do you guys

130
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,599
Speaker 2: think about Sun's Bucks. Where do you think the series

131
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 2: are going on who you're rooting for.

132
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 6: I mean, it's it's all about Gianness, right, Like Giannis

133
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,559
Speaker 6: tips the scales from me. If if Yiannis was healthy,

134
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 6: I would think that the Bucks, you know, probably take it.

135
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 6: I think this is gonna go six or seven if

136
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 6: we get Yannis at some point in this series. But

137
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 6: now you know I'm leaning. I'm leaning Bucks six if

138
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 6: we don't get Yannis. I mean, not Butt six, Sons

139
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 6: six if we don't.

140
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, let me right that now, because.

141
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 8: But I mean, I think I think Suns regardless even

142
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 8: if the Buck, even if Giannice was playing, I mean

143
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,799
Speaker 8: they you know, I just I think the Sun's I don't.

144
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: Know if there's something about that team guys, you know

145
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: what I mean? Like, yeah, I truly believe they got

146
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: it this year. I think they got it this year.

147
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 8: Booker's been on the down, like he's been, like we

148
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 8: talked about, he's been thinking a lot.

149
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: He hasn't played as well.

150
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 8: As he as he did during the year or series earlier.

151
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 1: So I think he's gonna switch it around this series.

152
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 8: I think he might go fucking off on these motherfuckers,

153
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 8: you know, what I mean, Like, so I don't know,

154
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 8: bro Booker in the finals, not giving a fuck, pull

155
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 8: him up with the old school. I think he's gonna

156
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 8: drag his nuts all over the place. Maybe that's just

157
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 8: what I hope he does, you know what I'm saying.

158
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 8: But I think I think the Sun's got it.

159
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 2: I says, talking with your heart.

160
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean, yeah, it's more fun that way,

161
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 8: you know what I mean.

162
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 2: But I do think Tyler said it literally in the

163
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 2: NBA preview test show we did in fucking November or whatever,

164
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 2: Like Chris Paul is making everything as simple as possible

165
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 2: for DeAndre Ayden. He's just going out there hooping. He's

166
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 2: seventeen and seventeen fucking walking on the court, right guarantee

167
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 2: and and and CP three, you know, narrative whatever whatever

168
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 2: whatever like he's doing. He's accounting for the fact that

169
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 2: Devin Booker is gonna play like it's his first time

170
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 2: this late in the playoffs, like and Monty Williams. Clearly

171
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 2: the game plan is not what the Hawks game plan

172
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 2: ultimately was, which is like Trey's gonna give us forty

173
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 2: and keep us in it no matter what, Like very

174
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 2: clearly they're planning for Devin Booker having some nine of

175
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 2: twenty three nights, you know what I mean.

176
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:34,679
Speaker 8: I mean, like Booker against the like when it matters,

177
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 8: you know what I mean.

178
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 1: Booker has been a fucking animal, you know what I mean.

179
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 8: It's like, Actually, I wouldn't say that because there were

180
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 8: some big moments in certain Yeah, he's.

181
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 2: He's had some games where he struggled, but they also

182
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 2: haven't had a lot of super high pressure shit because

183
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 2: they've been cleaning everybody up.

184
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,680
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, but I guess a two to one game

185
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 8: he wasn't all that, you know anyway, Well, I mean

186
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 8: in the close out games in the series prior, he

187
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:58,679
Speaker 8: was fucking swinging all over the place, you know what

188
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 8: I mean. So whatever, nig and nigga, stop talking about basketball.

Speaker 2: lights come out a little brighter and everything.

244
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 9: No, I mean it really doesn't.

245
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 4: I mean from my standpoint, it doesn't seem like we're

246
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,440
Speaker 4: here yet, like until we start playing, and like the

247
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 4: game is like actually like oppon us and like you're

248
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 4: getting ready pre game.

249
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 9: And all that.

250
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 4: Like right now, it just feels like a normal day,

251
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,679
Speaker 4: like normal one day, like waking up, getting ready for

252
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,079
Speaker 4: the kids to get going. But I think tomorrow when

253
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 4: I wake up, I know I'll be like am I'll

254
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,560
Speaker 4: be ready to go and knowing, hey, look this is

255
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,839
Speaker 4: you know, this really starts to the journey to hey,

256
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 4: winning the championship.

257
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,679
Speaker 6: Sure so, Langston, man, how how has the ride been?

258
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 6: Because you know you came on board, this is your

259
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 6: first season with them, Like, when you signed with Phoenix

260
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,440
Speaker 6: this offseason, I want you to shoot straight with me,

261
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 6: like these weren't the twenty seventeen Warriors. You're like, oh yeah,

262
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 6: finals definitely guaranteed. Like like, how crazy has this ride

263
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:53,839
Speaker 6: been from you signing on board? I mean, did you?

264
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:55,199
Speaker 6: I mean I think a lot of us expect the

265
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 6: Phoenix to take a lead this season. I had him

266
00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 6: being like a five or six seed, you know, maybe

267
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 6: getting to the second round, which would have been a

268
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 6: great lead. But you guys have a chance to win

269
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:04,439
Speaker 6: it all. So how has that ride? Man?

270
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:06,199
Speaker 9: Yeah?

271
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 4: No, from from signing on you know, off season last year,

272
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 4: I was like, all right, let's just make the playoffs.

273
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 4: That's all I was worrying about. Like, hey, look, let

274
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 4: me get on a team make the playoffs. I get

275
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 4: a lot of exposure, be able to you know, get

276
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,439
Speaker 4: my my rep up, everything up, and I can kind

277
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 4: of like, hey, make my situation go get better for

278
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 4: next year. But uh, but yeah, who would have thought

279
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 4: us making it to the finals? Like, I mean, the

280
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 4: team that we have, like a lot of guys just

281
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 4: come together. The chemistry has really been rocking. And I

282
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 4: think ever since we beat the Lakers, like our confidence

283
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 4: has been through the room. Like you know, once you

284
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 4: knock off the champs, like your confidence, uh, just everything

285
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 4: just it feels different. And uh and that's just how

286
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 4: we feel right now. We feel like we're gonna go

287
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 4: outare and win the championship. But at the same time, too,

288
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 4: we gotta take a one game at a time and

289
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:57,679
Speaker 4: take care of you know, all the all the small

290
00:13:57,760 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 4: intangible stuff.

291
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 8: Did you know you had a chance in the finals

292
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 8: before the Lakers and was at the point where it's like, oh, ship,

293
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 8: like we could do this, we could do this, you

294
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 8: know what I mean?

295
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 4: So so so going into the playoff, well, going into

296
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 4: us clinching, I think we all looked at all, right, well,

297
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 4: if we we can match up with either Portland Lakers

298
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 4: or Golden State, then you had to play in game

299
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 4: playing a game happens. You know, it's Lakers versus Golden State.

300
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 4: We'renna play one of those two teams, bang play the Lakers.

301
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 4: So you know, it's a it's a it's a hesitation

302
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 4: because everybody is like, oh, you guys got the Lakers,

303
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 4: like y'all not gonna get past them, Like you know,

304
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 4: that's that everybody like everybody run us off. Like man,

305
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 4: but I told I told somebody this. I was like, man,

306
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 4: it's gonna be the greatest upset in the history of

307
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 4: two and seven seasons.

308
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 9: Like we're a two seeds and we're going to upset

309
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 9: the seven seats. That's really what it was. So everybody,

310
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 9: that's the.

311
00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: Way you look at it.

312
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 4: It's like everybody, it's like, man, y'all about to get

313
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 4: smashed like the Lakers, Like y'all had a great run.

314
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 4: It's like like we're a two ce like we're supposed

315
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 4: to knock them off.

316
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 9: But nobody looked at it like that.

317
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 4: And you know, once we won that series, I feel

318
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 4: like we got a little respect, But it wasn't like, oh, man,

319
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 4: like y'all got a chance to win it all now

320
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 4: then we all right, we beat them. Now we gotta

321
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 4: play against the m v P. It's like all right, no,

322
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 4: like y'all, I don't know if you can be to

323
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 4: get past them.

324
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 9: Man, you know MVP is.

325
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 4: Playing at the high level. Get past them. It's like,

326
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 4: all right, y'all, look them, just the Clippers. It's like

327
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 4: all right, you know PG kawhile like y'all not gonna

328
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 4: get past, like every series has been like, man, there's

329
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 4: no way that the Phoenix Suns can get past them,

330
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 4: and then we get past them, and it's just, you know,

331
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 4: it's just proving proving the dollars wrong. That's all it's

332
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 4: been all season long, and you know there's another opportunity

333
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 4: to do it again.

334
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 2: Well, we're officially I believe we've officially been a Sons

335
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 2: podcast since you beat the Nuggets sore where you can

336
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 2: averted the Jenkins and Jones podcast for sure. You mentioned

337
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 2: kind of the team dynamic. I wanted to ask you

338
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 2: about that. We've been joking like, you guys feel more

339
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 2: like a college team than an NBA. Like the chemistry

340
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 2: is so obvious on that team, with maybe Chris Paul

341
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 2: being like the ra of the dorm or like they

342
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 2: take us inside the locker room, Like what is the

343
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 2: dynamic like on that team? How close are you guys,

344
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 2: And what's the difference between you played for the Knicks

345
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 2: and the Piston. What's the difference, Like, how is it

346
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 2: different having a team that's closer together this year?

347
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 4: No, I think you have from our standpoint, we look

348
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 4: at our whole team, it's like, I guess it quote

349
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 4: unquote young, Like they say, hey, our core is young.

350
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 9: But the way we look at it from the.

351
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 4: Old like I'm an older guy on the team, and

352
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 4: it's like you look at this as an opportunity to

353
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 4: help other guys get better, but then also too they

354
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 4: help us, like, you know, they help the guys that

355
00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 4: have been in the league for a few years now,

356
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 4: like really get what we need to get.

357
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 9: Like it's been fun, it's been it's been a fun

358
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:06,200
Speaker 9: ride thus far.

359
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:09,400
Speaker 4: And uh, it's you know, it's a lot of joking,

360
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 4: a lot of playing. Uh, you know, when you have

361
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 4: a lot of young guys, everybody's clowning each other, everybody

362
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:18,640
Speaker 4: doing you know, everything that you can think of, that

363
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 4: that you know, keeps all the coarateerie, all the the

364
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 4: you know, the the good times rolling like that's that's

365
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 4: that's our team really and uh that's what that's what

366
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,679
Speaker 4: makes us makes us a really fun team when you know,

367
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:31,880
Speaker 4: when when you're around us and uh and see how

368
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 4: special it is.

369
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 6: That's Chris Paul joining with the joke because he definitely

370
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:36,959
Speaker 6: seems like dude steps on the locker like cut all

371
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 6: that noise out.

372
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 1: Shut down, it's past ten.

373
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:46,880
Speaker 4: You know what I mean, no, no, CP. Like I said,

374
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 4: everybody joins it. It's not just one like specific guy

375
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 4: like that. It's everybody. Everybody's you know, clowning on each other.

376
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:54,439
Speaker 4: And it just it just goes back and forth on

377
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 4: a daily basis. So that's what keeps the locker room light.

378
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,920
Speaker 4: And and you know, it's been fun because we look

379
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:04,719
Speaker 4: at we're not built around a big three or anything

380
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:04,959
Speaker 4: like that.

381
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 9: We're just a team that just come together throughout the year.

382
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:10,119
Speaker 4: And then like the culmination, everything is like hey, look

383
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 4: we're here, we're at at the finals, and hey we're

384
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 4: trying to win this thing.

385
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 1: What's the difference in the approach?

386
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 8: And uh, you know compared to the team's prior because

387
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 8: like the Kings, Pistons, Nicks when you were playing for them,

388
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 8: you know what I mean, Like this is a totally

389
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 8: different experience right now, Like what's the difference in approach

390
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:30,639
Speaker 8: throughout the year or just like game the game, you

391
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 8: know what I.

392
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:35,639
Speaker 4: Mean, I think the approach would probably be. It's just

393
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 4: it's just like on a daily basis. And and I

394
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 4: give a lot of credit to Moni. It's like he's

395
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:45,159
Speaker 4: he's put in our heads like hey, look, uh we

396
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:46,879
Speaker 4: got to keep getting better or like, hey.

397
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 9: We were going like a four.

398
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,119
Speaker 4: And five game winning streams and hey, we got to

399
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,359
Speaker 4: keep getting better like we were. You know, we're good,

400
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 4: but we're not great, like you know, we still have

401
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:56,399
Speaker 4: a lot of room to grow. And then it's like, uh,

402
00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 4: our mentality too, was we're not gonna lose two and

403
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 4: we're not gonna lose tu in and row. And it's

404
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 4: like that's if you carry a mindset throughout the season.

405
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 4: You look up in your records, you know you're you

406
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:09,160
Speaker 4: have a really good record. So it's like that's how

407
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 4: you have to look at every single game. And I

408
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:15,640
Speaker 4: think that that's that's been the biggest difference between other

409
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 4: team that I've been on compared to this one. It's

410
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 4: like we I don't mean, we might have lost to

411
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 4: in a row maybe once, but I don't I don't

412
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 4: even think we did, like I mean, so it really

413
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 4: has carried over. And that's that's how that's how.

414
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 9: Good we've been this year. That's how good.

415
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 2: We've got some more questions about the suns and the

416
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 2: playoffs and everything, but I wanted to talk about your

417
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:38,399
Speaker 2: story a little bit. I mentioned before we hopped out

418
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,439
Speaker 2: I'm a I'm a local sports writer, so I see,

419
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:42,200
Speaker 2: I see what a big deal it is when a

420
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 2: guy just makes it pro in Europe, you know what

421
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:46,359
Speaker 2: I mean, Like coming from the inner city, Like I

422
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 2: know those guys aren't seen by national media as a success,

423
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:51,639
Speaker 2: but I see how that could change the whole family's

424
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 2: courts and everything. You have one of the craziest stories

425
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 2: I've seen. You go from undrafted to back to back

426
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,879
Speaker 2: ten day contracts with the Knicks and ended up making

427
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:05,440
Speaker 2: the All NBA Rookie Team. What was that? I want

428
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 2: to know about the pressure of those ten day contracts

429
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 2: of like, man, I was the man in high school,

430
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 2: I was the man in college, and now I'm like

431
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 2: I'm right here on the edge doing the D League stuff,

432
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 2: and then you get that opportunity, Like what was that

433
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 2: like for you? And and kind of how crazy was

434
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 2: that like busting through and then and then getting to

435
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 2: sign that contract.

436
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, you know, the first couple of games

437
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 4: is definitely nerve wracking, just because I was like so

438
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 4: amped up because I you know, I've reached my dream.

439
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 9: But it's like, hey, I want to stay here. I

440
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 9: don't want to go back to.

441
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 4: Playing in the d League at the time, and.

442
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 1: Right, how many games is that?

443
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 9: That's a Stow win though.

444
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 4: I think I think the ten day ended up being

445
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 4: like four or five games, like that was it? That

446
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:50,879
Speaker 4: was four or five games, But it was like it

447
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 4: was it was weird because you know, I think it

448
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 4: was the first ten days with ten days with six

449
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:00,880
Speaker 4: games because we had a got there was a back

450
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 4: to back, so we played the Wizards and we played

451
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,160
Speaker 4: the Houston Rockets on the back to back, so that

452
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:06,920
Speaker 4: that like that helped me out because I had two

453
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 4: games like like bang bang like it, and it got

454
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:12,160
Speaker 4: my jitters and got everything out of there. So it's

455
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 4: like first game, really nervous, scored a couple of points. Cool,

456
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:19,880
Speaker 4: all right, now jit is are going and I didn't

457
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 4: even have a day of practice. I went right back

458
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:23,400
Speaker 4: into the next game. All right, we got to play.

459
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:27,719
Speaker 4: So next the next day plays Houston Rockets. I think

460
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 4: it was a TNT game and we ain't. I have

461
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:32,639
Speaker 4: no chance like to think of like, hey, look the

462
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:34,399
Speaker 4: the hypeness of the game anything like that. I was

463
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 4: just like, hey, look at my head. Let me just

464
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:37,880
Speaker 4: got to try to hoop. And I actually had a

465
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 4: you know, a heck of a performance. So that was

466
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,199
Speaker 4: like it kind of like relaxed me. You know, all

467
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 4: my friends talking at home and calling about it.

468
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 1: Yeah.

469
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 9: So that so that that that eased me.

470
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 4: That eased me in Uh, it just threw me in

471
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 4: the ringer and I just had, you know, I had

472
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,879
Speaker 4: to either survive or you know. So uh that that

473
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,119
Speaker 4: was that was a huge thing. And once I got

474
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 4: past those two games, it was like everything else.

475
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 9: Like I had two vets in the locker room that

476
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:04,879
Speaker 9: were behind me.

477
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,920
Speaker 4: Uh, you know, I had lou Allmsson and uh Lance

478
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 4: Thomas and they both were like in my ear like

479
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 4: they've been through situations like that with me.

480
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 9: Uh, like the same situation that.

481
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 4: I was going through, and it was like, hey, look,

482
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:20,359
Speaker 4: don't worry about don't get the big hand, like just

483
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 4: stay the course.

484
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 9: So it's gonna be day by day, keep doing what

485
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 9: you're doing, and everything gonna work out.

486
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 4: And uh, it's so funny because they text me the

487
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 4: other day we made the championship.

488
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 9: He's like, man, I've been I've been, you know, thinking you're.

489
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:33,360
Speaker 4: Gonna win one out the whole time, like knowing that

490
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 4: from that point to now, like it's crazy how you

491
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,119
Speaker 4: know seven years are gone by, but it's cool to

492
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 4: you know, see that that culmination.

493
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:42,640
Speaker 2: Can let me, let me, let me, let me sneak

494
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:44,159
Speaker 2: one more And what what's that like at the end,

495
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 2: So your ten days ten days, which is again we

496
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 2: just said it. It's a real short window. It's like

497
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 2: your whole life, all the dreams up to that window,

498
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:53,920
Speaker 2: and then you signed, I believe, a two year deal

499
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 2: after the second ten day. So all of a sudden,

500
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 2: you go from I'm trying to make it in I'm

501
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:00,199
Speaker 2: trying to make it. I'm trying to make it into

502
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:02,679
Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean, I know a little. I

503
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 2: know a couple of dudes from Baton Rouge, and I

504
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 2: know the contract you signed probably would go as far

505
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:08,920
Speaker 2: as Baton Rouge as it would go in Long Beach

506
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,400
Speaker 2: where I'm from. That's funny, right, I mean, that's life

507
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 2: changing contract right there. Like what was that moment? Like

508
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:16,360
Speaker 2: you go from I'm trying to make it. I'm trying

509
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 2: to make it too. They put the paper in front

510
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:18,920
Speaker 2: of you and it's like.

511
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:25,920
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, really exciting everybody in my you know, and

512
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 4: Mama is calling me, texting me like yo, man, congrats,

513
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,120
Speaker 4: this and that but at the same time too, it's

514
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 4: like I knew that, you know, if I wanted to

515
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 4: make it this league, I had to make him make

516
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 4: a statement. And I think that that was my mindset

517
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 4: the whole time getting that contract. But it's like, all right,

518
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 4: you know, I've gotten here, but like I don't want

519
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 4: to go back.

520
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 9: And you know, that's how fast.

521
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 4: The league is, Like you'll be in there for a

522
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:51,879
Speaker 4: minute and guys are going to next. So it's like,

523
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 4: all right, let me just keep going, keep chipping away.

524
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:55,879
Speaker 4: And then all of a sudden you look up and

525
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 4: I make the All Rookie team and it's like wow,

526
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:00,679
Speaker 4: like you know, that's it's hard to come, but you know,

527
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 4: I made it that year.

528
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 9: So it was just very very very fortunate, very blessed.

529
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 8: How do you prepare for a ten day like you

530
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 8: don't even know the sets yet, you know what I mean? Like, like,

531
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 8: how do how do you even prepare for that, you know,

532
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 8: to be able to play when you know, when you

533
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 8: haven't had a practice.

534
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 9: Uh yeah, I think that. Uh.

535
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 4: Playing with the Knicks, like the organization, like the smaller unit.

536
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:27,679
Speaker 4: I understood what they were trying to do, so it

537
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:29,920
Speaker 4: wasn't it wasn't like I was like throwing into something

538
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 4: completely different, but it was like I knew similar sets, calls,

539
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:38,960
Speaker 4: defensive schemes, all that. So it made it made it

540
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 4: an easier adjustment. I say easier. It wasn't easy, but

541
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:44,200
Speaker 4: it was an easier adjustment.

542
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 1: I have one important question. What did Chris Paul say

543
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 1: to Pat bad? What? What? What? I heard what was saying,

544
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 1: But I don't know if I heard what was actually.

545
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 4: Saying, you've been so so let me let me let

546
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 4: me like rephrase the whole question, because it wasn't that

547
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 4: he said anything in that moment right when he pushed

548
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 4: him or everythhing like that. It was it was like

549
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:11,120
Speaker 4: the culmination of the series.

550
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:11,400
Speaker 9: Right.

551
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 4: So Game five, like they were talking all cash like

552
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,119
Speaker 4: trying to like just just roll us up, like it

553
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:19,359
Speaker 4: was just it was just crazy because he was like, oh,

554
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 4: we about to come back.

555
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:21,400
Speaker 9: Just y'all ain't got it.

556
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:23,440
Speaker 4: Like it's just it was just too much stuff like everybody,

557
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:26,879
Speaker 4: Like it wasn't just him, it was everybody, like the

558
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,199
Speaker 4: Clippers in general, like they all just talk trash and

559
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:30,400
Speaker 4: just like it is what it is.

560
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 9: But then Game five came and they.

561
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,400
Speaker 4: Took it to a whole nother level where like we're

562
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 4: going to going back to La, We're gonna stomp y'all this,

563
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:40,359
Speaker 4: like you know, it was just a lot of you know,

564
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:42,199
Speaker 4: a lot of other words said. But it's just like

565
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 4: that's that was how it went. And so when we

566
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:48,920
Speaker 4: got the game six, you can start seeing it pull away,

567
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 4: pull away, pull away, And then we started talking talking talking,

568
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 4: and they just you know, they feel it like all right,

569
00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:59,160
Speaker 4: well this this is it, Like you know what I mean,

570
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 4: like I see this old When then you know, a

571
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 4: couple of couple of shots here and there.

572
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 9: And dudes like looking at each other. Hey, just we

573
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 9: just got the best of them, and they was they

574
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:10,359
Speaker 9: were just you know, they were like little kids.

575
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:12,440
Speaker 1: I love I love it even for.

576
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:15,160
Speaker 6: But but I.

577
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:16,680
Speaker 4: Will say that I will say that we don't remember

578
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 4: that for the rest of our life, our team and

579
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 4: like every individual like not saying that we can go

580
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 4: back and push nobody in the in the in the

581
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 4: back and that like that, but we don't remember that,

582
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 4: like you know what I mean, Like that's that's gonna

583
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 4: something that's gonna stick with everybody on our team for

584
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 4: the rest of our careers going forward.

585
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 9: And you know how we look at people differently.

586
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:39,119
Speaker 6: Yeah, I love the game by game breakdown of how

587
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 6: the Clippers fuck around and found out like that was

588
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 6: the breakdown, right, but you know, going to to to

589
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 6: game six, that close out game with Chris Paul just

590
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 6: put on a fucking performance of the ages, right, forty

591
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:55,239
Speaker 6: one ran off four to sixteen points. When when when

592
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:57,360
Speaker 6: the Clippers made it close, when they got to within eight,

593
00:26:57,920 --> 00:26:59,880
Speaker 6: you know, it's it's kind of a running joke onto

594
00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:02,160
Speaker 6: it or that you know, they give all the credit

595
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 6: to Chris Paul even went on ship that he didn't

596
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:06,120
Speaker 6: have his hands in. But you know, for someone who's

597
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 6: in that locker room, like what would you say, Chris

598
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 6: Paul's impact is, Oh.

599
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 9: It's huge. It's huge because you know that.

600
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 4: Uh, sometimes it's like it's to scoring, sometimes it's to assist.

601
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 4: Sometimes it's just him taking care of the ball. For

602
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 4: some games it's like you know what I mean, like

603
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:22,440
Speaker 4: if you could take care of the ball, not turn

604
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:24,639
Speaker 4: it over, have a couple of assists here and there, Like,

605
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:27,679
Speaker 4: that's huge and that goes a long way and it

606
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:30,880
Speaker 4: carries over to everybody else. And then also too, it's

607
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 4: like the confidence building, like he is He's a culmination

608
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 4: of like keeping everybody together, keeping the confidence like real high,

609
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,359
Speaker 4: like everybody go out here, we about to you know,

610
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 4: just it's just how we look at each and every game.

611
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:48,919
Speaker 4: So I mean he's been he's been steady year round,

612
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 4: and I don't think it's I don't see it changing,

613
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:52,920
Speaker 4: you know, no time soon.

614
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:56,359
Speaker 2: If you guys are able to win four more games

615
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:59,680
Speaker 2: this season. I think one of the defining moments and

616
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 2: a that will go down really in NBA history was

617
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:08,199
Speaker 2: the vallet oop to win that game. What was that moment, Like,

618
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 2: I mean, you're down one with that little time left,

619
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 2: it's tough, you know what what what what's the bench thinking?

620
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:16,879
Speaker 2: You see the play get drawn up? And then what

621
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,440
Speaker 2: was that moment like when the ball went through you realize,

622
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 2: oh my god, that's like one of.

623
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:23,920
Speaker 4: The crazy At first, like everybody was kind of upset

624
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:26,399
Speaker 4: because they were like is that Goltenant?

625
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 9: But then you know, you had to think back real fast, you.

626
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 4: Know, when you got to get your yeah, your rule

627
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:34,399
Speaker 4: book out, like oh no, you can you can do that.

628
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:35,680
Speaker 9: You can do that at the end of the game.

629
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 9: That's it. That's just the rule that they ate.

630
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 6: And said he didn't know either. He said he just

631
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 6: trusted money on that one. So yeah, right right, he

632
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 6: was gonna blame.

633
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 4: And it's like, what's crazy because it almost could have

634
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:52,959
Speaker 4: went in the angle that he shot it. It literally

635
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 4: was going in the basket and just luckily that Da

636
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 4: touched it. It worked out because that ball would have

637
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 4: went in if if you know, if win the test.

638
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 4: But yeah, that was That was a great play. And

639
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 4: everybody says, oh man, we walked and walked through that

640
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 4: and we never walked through that play like that, but

641
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 4: it was.

642
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:11,720
Speaker 9: It was something that we had worked on. It was

643
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 9: a fake alley.

644
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 4: Opening, like like somebody was coming off to the corner

645
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 4: for for three. I think it was Book coming off

646
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 4: for a three. That was the play, but DA just

647
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 4: happened to know it was a Jay.

648
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 9: Who was coming off.

649
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 4: No, No, that was some whoever went up to the corner.

650
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 4: I forgot who went to the corner. But uh that

651
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 4: ended up being a perfect setup because Books at the

652
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 4: rear screen and uh, I mean hey, right right right.

653
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 2: Right Books a real screen.

654
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, that was real.

655
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 2: I mean that was the unsung hero of that moment.

656
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 2: So Jay, I mean, because I think the underrated part

657
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 2: of that play. We talked about it a lot on

658
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 2: the pod. Was we told everyone go to any part

659
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 2: near you stand where Jay Crowder was standing and try

660
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 2: and throw that pass. No, you don't get it once

661
00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 2: in a hundred times. So he never he didn't work

662
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 2: on that, Like, that's not that wasn't part of the plan. Hey,

663
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 2: if we're in this situation, he just had that.

664
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 9: Put it right there right then.

665
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 4: And that's what we kept looking at the clock, like

666
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 4: all right, you know it's point nine on the clock,

667
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 4: Like if you throw it by the rim, like, hey,

668
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 4: some if D eight most of the times can out

669
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:18,240
Speaker 4: jump whoever is guarding them. So hey, look that that

670
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 4: we're gonna trust in that that that'd be the idea

671
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 4: of playing and especially to win that game like that

672
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 4: without CP, like especially the first two games, Like that's huge.

673
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 9: That was huge. That was huge.

674
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 1: What is seeing CP play meant for you?

675
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 8: Like what if you taken personally from like watching him

676
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 8: do what he's doing at this age, you know what

677
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 8: I mean, it's pretty insane for us, Like, but that's

678
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 8: a point guard in the league.

679
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 1: What does it mean for you?

680
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 9: No, it's huge.

681
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 4: It's huge because I have a lot of stuff to

682
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 4: work on the summer and uh and you know throughout

683
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 4: this year it's like I've been working on stuff while he's.

684
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 9: Been you know, doing this thing and whatnot.

685
00:30:56,080 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 4: But from from afar like okay, on that, like you know,

686
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 4: just mental check notes for me going forward, like all right,

687
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:06,720
Speaker 4: you know, put this in my note bad, put that

688
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 4: in my note pay Okay, I need to work on that.

689
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 9: Okay.

690
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 4: Picking his brain, trying to figure out things that he

691
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 4: looks at us seeds, like we said, mark right next

692
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 4: to each other on the bench. I'm always like asking, hey,

693
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 4: what do you see out there? What do you think

694
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 4: we could be doing better? And you know, his is

695
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:23,480
Speaker 4: his vocal is. I mean, it's it's crazy because he's

696
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 4: able to communicate with the guys like hey, look this

697
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 4: is what I'm seeing out there, or hey look we

698
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 4: need to pull this together, you know. So it's always

699
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:33,959
Speaker 4: something that is really important for us going forward. So

700
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 4: I'm always trying to see, see, hey, how.

701
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 9: Can I learn.

702
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 2: I wanted to ask you about. I mean, the playoffs

703
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 2: are a different animal and this is obviously your first

704
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 2: you know, kind of deep run of this kind that

705
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 2: you've been a part of. But you're having individually, your

706
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 2: shooting percentages are up, you're having your best three point

707
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 2: shooting year. You know, you can obviously see that something

708
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:56,760
Speaker 2: you worked on. But in the playoffs, of minutes tighten up,

709
00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 2: so you go from rotation player contributing scoring every game too.

710
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 2: It's those minutes are harder to come by, obviously, the

711
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 2: deeper you get in the playoffs. Is that difficult on

712
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 2: an individual level or is the team's success so kind

713
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 2: of invigorating that you know what I mean that you

714
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 2: you stay locked in, Like I would just imagine that

715
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 2: practicing knowing every game plan like week after week when

716
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 2: you're not getting in there for twenty minutes is harder. Like,

717
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:24,719
Speaker 2: what's that experience been like for you? Just on an

718
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 2: individual level?

719
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 9: Yeah, no, it's been It's been tough.

720
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 4: I won't say it's been easy, because you know, as

721
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:34,960
Speaker 4: a competitor, you want to be out there playing, and

722
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 4: especially the year that I was having, like you know,

723
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 4: I was playing through a stretching versus you know, averaging

724
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 4: you know, ten points a game, shooting for forty.

725
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 9: Five on a clip.

726
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 4: So I was almost like, if I look at my

727
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 4: stats for the year, like I was at a point

728
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 4: where I was fifty forty ninety, but I was shooting

729
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 4: fifty to fifty one hundred.

730
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:59,280
Speaker 9: Yeah, for most of the year. I missed one at

731
00:32:59,280 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 9: the end.

732
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:05,320
Speaker 4: But it's crazy because you know, as a competitor, I'm

733
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:07,720
Speaker 4: gonna root my team team on and I'm never gonna

734
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 4: have my pride in a way that's going to take

735
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 4: me out of a situation or you know, whatever it's next.

736
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 4: Maybe this might be a situation where I need to

737
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:17,240
Speaker 4: learn from, you know, going forward in my career, and

738
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 4: then when my turn comes, my opportunity comes, you know,

739
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 4: I make the most of it.

740
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 9: So that's that's how I look at everything in my career.

741
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 4: It's like it's an opportunity for me to learn from

742
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 4: it and just continue to prove my you know, it's

743
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 4: a lot of dollars right there right now, like that.

744
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 9: I look at that.

745
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 4: Oh man, this guy's riding the benches and that. But

746
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 4: it's like, you know, it's good. It's motivation for me

747
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 4: going forward in the summertime, knowing that, Okay, when I

748
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 4: get my opportunity, Hey, I don't hear none of that.

749
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 9: So that's that's that's all I look forward to.

750
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 2: Well, you just said, I mean there's usually space anywhere

751
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 2: for a dude wh's shooting fifty fifty nine right right,

752
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 2: right right. You mentioned a little bit at the beginning,

753
00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:00,280
Speaker 2: but I wanted to really ask you about this. What's

754
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:02,480
Speaker 2: the confidence level like for you guys? I mean, is

755
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:04,719
Speaker 2: it just straight up like we are about to go

756
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 2: win the championship? Like it just seems like everyone has

757
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 2: that feeling right now.

758
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:12,839
Speaker 9: Yeah, that's it. That's all we have had on our mind.

759
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 4: I think, like I said, we had the Lakers Series

760
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:20,880
Speaker 4: and we won that series, of confidence went up like

761
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:26,520
Speaker 4: you know, a thousand and then now looking back, like

762
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:29,840
Speaker 4: when we were in Denver Series, we were talking about

763
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:32,360
Speaker 4: this moment like, hey, look, we even got past the

764
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:34,960
Speaker 4: hardest team out there, because you know, going through the

765
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 4: bron going through the defending champions, like that's that's the

766
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:40,239
Speaker 4: hardest team you got to play gainst right there, and

767
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 4: going through them, we just felt like, all right, there's

768
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:45,280
Speaker 4: nobody else here that can stop us.

769
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 9: So we feel like, hey, look least four more.

770
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 4: Like you know, even though it's gonna be battle every

771
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 4: single night, and it's gonna be you know, it's gonna

772
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:55,360
Speaker 4: be a lot of just blood when tears involved in this,

773
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:58,160
Speaker 4: we feel like, hey, we're gonna win this all.

774
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 6: Going back. So you know, you you mentioned it kind

775
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:05,400
Speaker 6: of you know, adjusting from the regular season for the playoffs.

776
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:08,440
Speaker 6: I remember Steve curt said something very interesting in the

777
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 6: last dance that I never really considered all my years

778
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 6: of being a basketball fan. He was like, you know,

779
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:14,239
Speaker 6: of course the pressure is always on the stars in

780
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 6: the playoffs, he said, but rotation, guys, we get four

781
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:19,439
Speaker 6: or five shots a game, and those four or five

782
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:21,839
Speaker 6: shots a game become way bigger in the finals than

783
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 6: like a midseason game versus the Hornets, you know what

784
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,960
Speaker 6: I mean. So that's something that I never considered. But like,

785
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:30,280
Speaker 6: you know, I know you're you're definitely ready for for

786
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:32,200
Speaker 6: for that challenge. But have you guys, like done any

787
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:35,719
Speaker 6: type of scouting so far on the on the Bucks.

806
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:23,720
Speaker 4: be a filling out anyway, So it doesn't even matter

807
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:26,440
Speaker 4: how you know, you come into a game and adjusting

808
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:27,920

809
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:31,000

834
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 2: And we just talked about this ship with Alex Cruso.

835
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:43,759
Speaker 2: Bro like Weed the Devil's lettuce is still like jazz

836
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:49,600
Speaker 2: cigarettes are still upending fucking athletic careers for no reason whatsoever.

837
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:52,760
Speaker 2: How do you guys feel about this ship with Shaki?

838
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:57,640
Speaker 8: Like how insane is this star? Like she's the biggest star.

839
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:00,279
Speaker 8: I mean, I don't is there is there some body

840
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:02,560
Speaker 8: in the Olympics. You're more excited to see compete and

841
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 8: she kids.

842
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:07,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I mean that's that suns you know what

843
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:07,719
Speaker 6: I mean.

844
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:09,600
Speaker 1: But we're talking about her with some own biles.

845
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:14,840
Speaker 10: You feel like literal fucking goat okay, and you're weed

846
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 10: and she's smoking in a place that is legal, Like

847
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:21,960
Speaker 10: come on, like like that's not.

848
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:25,360
Speaker 1: She didn't make the mistake. The rule is the mistake,

849
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:26,200
Speaker 1: you know what I mean?

850
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 11: Like that that is that is insane in me, like

851
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:32,440
Speaker 11: that that we're still dealing with this now when motherfuckers

852
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 11: are making so much fucking money off this ship.

853
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:37,279
Speaker 8: They don't have like liquor on the fucking is it

854
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:38,920
Speaker 8: is it wrong to drink alcohol?

855
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:40,880
Speaker 1: Like that's that's that's the equalent of this.

856
00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:44,880
Speaker 2: I think that I read and I'm listen. I'm a

857
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:47,839
Speaker 2: track guy, but I stay as far away from any

858
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:50,080
Speaker 2: article with us A d A and it as I

859
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:53,400
Speaker 2: fucking can. When she tested positive, they're not They're not

860
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:56,400
Speaker 2: not allowed to smoke weed. They're not allowed to have

861
00:38:56,440 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 2: it pop up as like you smoked weed before you compete.

862
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 2: And I think that there is a similar provision with

863
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:04,799
Speaker 2: alcohol that like you're you're basically not allowed to be

864
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:08,640
Speaker 2: intoxicated while you compete. Now, why that's the case, especially

865
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:11,000
Speaker 2: for weed, I don't. I don't know what the value

866
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:14,680
Speaker 2: of that is. We have hundreds of NFL and NBA

867
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 2: and everybody, you know, players from other sports saying, yeah,

868
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:19,480
Speaker 2: that was how I was dealing with anxiety when I

869
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:21,640
Speaker 2: was going out and competing whatever. Like, I don't know

870
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:24,480
Speaker 2: why that would disqualify her, but I do think like

871
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:26,719
Speaker 2: that is what she tested for, And I do want

872
00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:29,080
Speaker 2: to note that it's they're not like anti weed. There's

873
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 2: plenty of people who are smoking. And a friend of

874
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:33,760
Speaker 2: mine who was an Olympian said, you smoked the night before,

875
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:37,279
Speaker 2: you just you just can't smoke, you know, and have

876
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:39,440
Speaker 2: it pop up as like, oh, it's in the system

877
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:40,640
Speaker 2: at the moment, you know what I mean.

878
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:44,799
Speaker 1: So what's the difference if you smoke the night before,

879
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:45,440
Speaker 1: it's gonna.

880
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:47,840
Speaker 2: Pop up, you know what I mean, Like it's like

881
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:50,440
Speaker 2: a certain amount or something. I don't I mean, I

882
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:54,040
Speaker 2: don't get into the fucking drug testing the specifics on

883
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:58,279
Speaker 2: the ship, but what I know, what I what I

884
00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 2: know is they're not testing people to make sure that

885
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 2: they're not Like it's not like a job check. They're

886
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:06,600
Speaker 2: not seeing if there's anything in your system. It's like

887
00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 2: specifically a day of rate change, which is why whoever

888
00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 2: tweeted this shit about people are gonna get high and

889
00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:15,160
Speaker 2: throw the javelin into the crowd like.

890
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:15,680
Speaker 6: That was.

891
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:21,080
Speaker 2: Rightfully getting killed. But that is basically what they're testing for,

892
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:25,279
Speaker 2: is whether you are on the field with alcohol or

893
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:26,360
Speaker 2: drugs in your system.

894
00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:29,920
Speaker 6: Weed is on the pain killer list, and you know,

895
00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:33,040
Speaker 6: TFC is a pain killer, but it's not a pain

896
00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:35,080
Speaker 6: killer enough to where you can fucking like power do

897
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:37,440
Speaker 6: a sore hammy or some shit if you're a track star,

898
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:39,799
Speaker 6: you know what I mean. We doesn't kill pain that.

899
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:42,439
Speaker 2: Much, but the pain killer shit, I think it's more

900
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:44,719
Speaker 2: in there for because it's the same rule for the

901
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:46,719
Speaker 2: whole sport. So I think it's more in there for

902
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:49,359
Speaker 2: the marathon s that people running fifty k's and shit

903
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:52,240
Speaker 2: like that that it's like you're not dulling your system

904
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:54,560
Speaker 2: to go out and do stuff. I don't agree with

905
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:57,480
Speaker 2: the rule or whatever. Obviously, any rule that results in

906
00:40:57,520 --> 00:40:59,880
Speaker 2: your biggest star not competing at the Olympics was a

907
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:03,200
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, like you start at that point,

908
00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:05,319
Speaker 2: but that was the only point that I would make

909
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:07,759
Speaker 2: about it is. I don't think that they give a

910
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:11,040
Speaker 2: fuck whether the hammer thrower is smoking weed to celebrate

911
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:14,440
Speaker 2: becoming an Olympian or not. I think it's just she happened,

912
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:17,759
Speaker 2: and that's why when you saw her come out, what

913
00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:20,760
Speaker 2: she tweeted before the news went public was I'm human,

914
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:24,600
Speaker 2: like she felt like she had fucked up by doing

915
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:27,160
Speaker 2: it so close to when she was competing or whatever

916
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:29,799
Speaker 2: that it got popped because from what I know from

917
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:33,120
Speaker 2: Olympic track people, it's very well known how to be

918
00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:37,480
Speaker 2: a regular smoker whatever you want to do, and not

919
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:39,960
Speaker 2: have it fuck your race day. Test up.

920
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:46,360
Speaker 8: If she fucking did that high off the zign, she's

921
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:48,200
Speaker 8: my favorite person on the Motherfulder.

922
00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:53,319
Speaker 1: She got the system smoking these motherfuckers does.

923
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:55,839
Speaker 5: Her start wasn't the best, her finish was great, so

924
00:41:56,239 --> 00:41:58,600
Speaker 5: she might have had like delayed reaction you know what

925
00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:02,160
Speaker 5: I mean, and smoked the motherfuckers like that.

926
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:03,000
Speaker 6: You feel me?

927
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:06,200
Speaker 1: Come on, gee, hey, put the cake on her. She's

928
00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:06,920
Speaker 1: a superhero.

929
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:09,520
Speaker 8: I think this ship is fucking ridiculous though, it's just

930
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:13,120
Speaker 8: funk all the dumb ship bro Like she should be running.

931
00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:14,160
Speaker 1: She should be running.

932
00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:17,560
Speaker 8: She did not gain anything from smoking fucking weed she had.

933
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:21,359
Speaker 8: No the betit she had was her fucking hard work

934
00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:22,839
Speaker 8: and being blessed by fucking God.

935
00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:25,880
Speaker 1: You know what I mean. And that's not illegal. So

936
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:28,759
Speaker 1: fuck this ship, point fucking blank. You feel me, I'm

937
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:30,560
Speaker 1: not even talking to the mic because this mic doesn't work.

938
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:33,719
Speaker 3: I'm like, paint fucking blank, and Mike's like, I don't

00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:46,000
Speaker 2: Tyler? Are you going on a weed strike to support her?

941
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:46,800
Speaker 1: I am.

942
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:49,040
Speaker 6: I think the correct way to approach this is to

943
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:53,840
Speaker 6: actually increase our smoking of weed and her support. That

944
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:57,319

Speaker 2: Tyler got like five thousand retweets off of not even

978
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:21,920
Speaker 2: posting a word. But it was just someone had tweeted

979
00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:24,960
Speaker 2: we're not smoking weed all summer and some until they

980
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:28,000
Speaker 2: let shit carry run, and Tyler just posted.

981
00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:35,080
Speaker 1: The oh, let's not go that far.

00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:36,200
Speaker 4: My niggas.

983
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:46,200
Speaker 1: Good luck. You know what I mean, but not I.

984
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:46,400
Speaker 2: Someone said, someone quoted Tyler has said, like, we're not

985
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:49,120
Speaker 2: the athletes, We're the supporters.

986
00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:52,640
Speaker 1: Right right, right, right right exactly.

987
00:44:54,360 --> 00:45:00,520
Speaker 2: Oh shit, Okay, let's talk about the story that gripped

988
00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:06,719
Speaker 2: Twitter on the fourth of July, Rachel Nichols Gate New

989
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:10,400
Speaker 2: York Times story came out and I just caught up

990
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:12,880
Speaker 2: on this shit. So let me preface this, which I

991
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:15,359
Speaker 2: always think is important in these conversations, say we don't

992
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:18,560
Speaker 2: know any of these motherfucking people. I don't know any

993
00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:20,720
Speaker 2: of the people, like I don't know who they are.

994
00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:24,120
Speaker 2: I'm gonna I will say that I'm never surprised when

995
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:27,080
Speaker 2: I find out that a white person was talking out

996
00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:30,120
Speaker 2: of both sides of their mouth about diversity, and that

997
00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:32,560
Speaker 2: is something that I believe all three of us agree

998
00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:35,680
Speaker 2: firmly on. But what did you guys think of this story?

999
00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:37,840
Speaker 2: I'm gonna not try and catch everyone up on a

1000
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:40,560
Speaker 2: two thousand word in depth story by the New York Times,

1001
00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:43,160
Speaker 2: but I will say that I would just foreground the

1002
00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:45,120
Speaker 2: conversation by saying all I know about it is what

1003
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:47,919
Speaker 2: was in the story, and that's it. Because I don't

1004
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:49,920
Speaker 2: know these people, and I don't know any of the

1005
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:52,640
Speaker 2: other shit. But what was your reaction to this story, Tyler?

1006
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:56,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, so so Cliff notes version Rachel Nichols was speaking

1007
00:45:57,000 --> 00:46:00,480
Speaker 6: with Lebron's publicist. I believe, yes, I think it says

1008
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:05,120
Speaker 6: Lebron's publicist about how yeah, yeah, and about how you know,

1009
00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:07,600
Speaker 6: Maria Taylor is getting to push and and how they

1010
00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:09,840
Speaker 6: wanted Maria Taylor to do you know Sideline NBA reporting,

1011
00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:11,960
Speaker 6: which is Rachel nichols gig. And then Rachel Nichols went

1012
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:14,719
Speaker 6: on the whole you know, I understand that this this was,

1013
00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:17,080
Speaker 6: this conversation happened last summer. We all remember how last

1014
00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:19,720
Speaker 6: summer was, you know, after the George Floyd and Breonna

1015
00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:25,240
Speaker 6: Taylor tragedies there. But you know, basically, Rachel Nichols implied

1016
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:27,799
Speaker 6: that they were, you know, pushing Maria Taylor because she

1017
00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:32,560
Speaker 6: was black and and and it's it's it. It threw

1018
00:46:32,640 --> 00:46:34,840
Speaker 6: us for a lot because Rachel Nichols has always seemed

1019
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:37,640
Speaker 6: publicly to be on the side of diversity and inclusion, right,

1020
00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:40,319
Speaker 6: and it seems like so many people are on the

1021
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:43,279
Speaker 6: side of diversity inclusion until you have to give something

1022
00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:45,120
Speaker 6: up personally, until you have to make a way for

1023
00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:47,520
Speaker 6: someone right and for and for Rachel Nichols to imply

1024
00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:50,560
Speaker 6: that Maria Taylor, who was, you know, a college basketball athlete,

1025
00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:54,120
Speaker 6: who was who got her starting journalism as a college athlete,

1026
00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:56,399
Speaker 6: you know, who has worked her way up to the top,

1027
00:46:56,480 --> 00:46:59,480
Speaker 6: and you are Diane Sawyer's niece, right.

1028
00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:01,879
Speaker 1: And and we're talking about right and and and and

1029
00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:03,040
Speaker 1: you got the.

1030
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:06,680
Speaker 6: Nerve to act like people are pushing Maria Taylor on on,

1031
00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:09,040
Speaker 6: on her, on us because she didn't deserve she didn't

1032
00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:12,719
Speaker 6: work her way to this, and you are fucking Diane Sawyers, Like,

1033
00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:13,799
Speaker 6: what are we doing here?

1034
00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:14,080
Speaker 10: Man?

1035
00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:18,280
Speaker 1: Does anything else to be saying? Nigga? Does anything else

1036
00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:22,719
Speaker 1: need to be said? Tyler bro I think you just

1037
00:47:22,760 --> 00:47:23,560
Speaker 1: summed this it up.

1038
00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:26,160
Speaker 2: And I've got I've got i have one other thing

1039
00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:28,480
Speaker 2: to say, which is I will I'll say this, I

1040
00:47:28,520 --> 00:47:30,719
Speaker 2: always start at the very top on any of this

1041
00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:33,319
Speaker 2: ship because i will say and I'm not saying this

1042
00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:37,359
Speaker 2: in defensive Rachel Nichols. I think she's probably absolutely right

1043
00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:40,399
Speaker 2: when she said it's a fucking they're they're they're making

1044
00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:41,239
Speaker 2: it woman on woman.

1045
00:47:41,560 --> 00:47:44,319
Speaker 1: Mm hmm, yeah, yeah, okay, okay.

1046
00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:46,840
Speaker 2: And that is outside of the control of Maria Taylor

1047
00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:50,239
Speaker 2: or Rachel Nichols that Hey, first of all, ESPN's basketball

1048
00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:55,040
Speaker 2: coverage fucking sucks. So if you have a Maria Taylor

1049
00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:58,000
Speaker 2: and a Rachel Nichols, why are you making the two

1050
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:01,040
Speaker 2: of them feel like they're competing for the woman's spot?

1051
00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:03,960
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, Like, that's something that I

1052
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:07,719
Speaker 2: think Rachel Nichols reference that I think is probably very

1053
00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:16,160
Speaker 2: true and and that's some mega fuck shit. That's what

1054
00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:19,200
Speaker 2: I'm not saying defense of Rachel Nicholas. I'm saying she's

1055
00:48:19,239 --> 00:48:22,839
Speaker 2: commenting on a situation that it actually doesn't need to

1056
00:48:22,880 --> 00:48:25,360
Speaker 2: be that someone needs to make a way for diversity.

1057
00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:28,480
Speaker 2: They could just hire the best people. Maria Taylor, with

1058
00:48:28,560 --> 00:48:31,320
Speaker 2: all due respect to Rachel Nichols, is the best person

1059
00:48:31,320 --> 00:48:34,560
Speaker 2: that they have for that job. So that's the end

1060
00:48:34,600 --> 00:48:35,880
Speaker 2: all be all of why she did you have it?

1061
00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:39,040
Speaker 2: But like you're making women feel like we have one

1062
00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:42,759
Speaker 2: spot for a woman for who for whose opinion that

1063
00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:46,800
Speaker 2: we needed to hear yes on their garbage ass fucking

1064
00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:47,960
Speaker 2: basketball coverage.

1065
00:48:48,040 --> 00:48:53,120
Speaker 1: Bro, that's who we squos in there.

1066
00:48:56,960 --> 00:49:00,440
Speaker 8: Yeah, I just think it's interesting that it was like

1067
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:04,040
Speaker 8: in the like last year, like she probably just dropped

1068
00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:06,879
Speaker 8: the fucking black box, you know what I mean. I mean,

1069
00:49:06,960 --> 00:49:09,080
Speaker 8: like two minutes ago and then leans and she you know,

1070
00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:10,839
Speaker 8: she was I think in the bubble when she said

1071
00:49:10,840 --> 00:49:12,680
Speaker 8: the ship it was at its peak.

1072
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:15,240
Speaker 1: You know, white people were whiting less at that moment,

1073
00:49:18,520 --> 00:49:19,200
Speaker 1: you know what I mean.

1074
00:49:19,640 --> 00:49:21,799
Speaker 8: Like, I mean, come on now, I'm like, no, man,

1075
00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:23,799
Speaker 8: like what you said, Mike, and you had to say

1076
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:25,360
Speaker 8: that shit, you know, never surprised to.

1077
00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:28,239
Speaker 1: Talking about both into the mouth. But I mean, like

1078
00:49:28,239 --> 00:49:32,080
Speaker 1: you said, Rachel, I was low key surprised. I was surprised,

1079
00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:33,200
Speaker 1: you know what I mean.

1080
00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:36,640
Speaker 2: But you're surprised just because she I mean, I think

1081
00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:39,360
Speaker 2: Tyler said she's she's appeared to publicly she's more than

1082
00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:42,240
Speaker 2: a peer to She's that's been sort of her brand

1083
00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:45,040
Speaker 2: is like I'm pro diversity and pro new voices. And

1084
00:49:45,360 --> 00:49:48,200
Speaker 2: she had people who she's helped get on the Jump

1085
00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:51,399
Speaker 2: or whatever sticking up for her in that regard, saying, hey,

1086
00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:53,160
Speaker 2: she helped get me on this show or whatever. But

1087
00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:55,560
Speaker 2: that's why you're saying you're a surprised because she's yeah

1088
00:49:56,680 --> 00:49:57,399
Speaker 2: herself that way.

1089
00:49:57,560 --> 00:49:59,799
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, I mean with certain people, I'm not

1090
00:49:59,880 --> 00:50:01,919
Speaker 8: like I'm not you know, like I don't care how

1091
00:50:01,920 --> 00:50:05,000
Speaker 8: you present yourself, but with her, I definitely was.

1092
00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:05,600
Speaker 1: You know what I mean.

1093
00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:09,239
Speaker 8: But yeah, it's it's an unfortunate situation, but I think

1094
00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:12,680
Speaker 8: Tyler's something shit up perfectly, you feel me right.

1095
00:50:13,040 --> 00:50:14,239
Speaker 2: As Tyler tends to do.

1096
00:50:18,520 --> 00:50:21,759
Speaker 6: Mike is like, you're the biggest Tyler fan, Like, I

1097
00:50:21,840 --> 00:50:24,040
Speaker 6: appreciate that's my guy.

1098
00:50:24,440 --> 00:50:26,239
Speaker 1: One and two. You know what I mean? We right,

1099
00:50:28,760 --> 00:50:29,759
Speaker 1: that's Tyler saying that.

1100
00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:42,200
Speaker 2: Anyway, ESPN, fuck you, Rachel Nichols, give me a fucking break, like, uh,

1101
00:50:42,239 --> 00:50:44,960
Speaker 2: but it is interesting the one here's the other thing,

1102
00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:48,400
Speaker 2: was say, the only person who's faced any consequences for

1103
00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:50,960
Speaker 2: this is Kayler Johnson, a black woman who is a

1104
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:55,480
Speaker 2: black female producer at ESPN, who admitted to sharing the

1105
00:50:55,520 --> 00:50:59,440
Speaker 2: clip with Maria Taylor and was suspended. And that's the

1106
00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:01,800
Speaker 2: only person and who's had any kind of punishment whatsoever.

1107
00:51:02,040 --> 00:51:04,320
Speaker 2: And I would add, by the way, Rachel Nichols recorded

1108
00:51:04,360 --> 00:51:09,440
Speaker 2: herself this ship and uploaded it to the ESPN server accidentally,

1109
00:51:09,840 --> 00:51:13,160
Speaker 2: which is not a good time to be arguing that

1110
00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:17,439
Speaker 2: the younger talent shouldn't be getting bigger opportunity when you're

1111
00:51:17,480 --> 00:51:19,000
Speaker 2: struggling to use the new tech.

1112
00:51:19,360 --> 00:51:25,400
Speaker 1: How do you feel, how do you decide?

1113
00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:28,080
Speaker 2: Maria Taylor went to school to know how to.

1114
00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:29,399
Speaker 1: Do the ship that.

1115
00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:31,239
Speaker 2: Young people have to do with technology.

1116
00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:36,880
Speaker 6: Now, how do y'all feel about what mendelsoon said, just

1117
00:51:36,960 --> 00:51:39,319
Speaker 6: going back to you know, springburn off on Mike said

1118
00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:42,880
Speaker 6: about how you never really know with with white people

1119
00:51:42,920 --> 00:51:45,440
Speaker 6: in these issues, like you know, of course with any

1120
00:51:45,520 --> 00:51:48,239
Speaker 6: type of Bron you know, link to any story, there's

1121
00:51:48,239 --> 00:51:50,000
Speaker 6: going to be a crowd blaming Bron for this, and

1122
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:52,400
Speaker 6: we saw people, Oh but Bron needs to vet his

1123
00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:53,000
Speaker 6: people better.

1124
00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:53,160
Speaker 9: Bro.

1125
00:51:54,600 --> 00:51:58,440
Speaker 6: We as black people, we know that white people you

1126
00:51:58,440 --> 00:52:01,040
Speaker 6: think there's no talent. When people get away from us,

1127
00:52:01,080 --> 00:52:02,799
Speaker 6: a lot of them take off the mask here. And

1128
00:52:02,840 --> 00:52:05,359
Speaker 6: I'm never gonna blame a black person because a white

1129
00:52:05,360 --> 00:52:07,879
Speaker 6: person took down there for side in private, Absolutely not never.

1130
00:52:08,040 --> 00:52:10,120
Speaker 8: I mean, how does how does how does brown in

1131
00:52:10,160 --> 00:52:12,320
Speaker 8: any way control what anybody says?

1132
00:52:12,480 --> 00:52:15,040
Speaker 1: Black, white, green, whatever the fuck outside? You know what

1133
00:52:15,040 --> 00:52:17,319
Speaker 1: I mean? Like at any moment, you know what I mean?

1134
00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:20,120
Speaker 1: But like you said, like even in like I wouldn't

1135
00:52:20,160 --> 00:52:22,080
Speaker 1: play the country club golf, you know what I mean?

1136
00:52:23,400 --> 00:52:26,160
Speaker 1: I knew I wasn't enemy territory. You feel me, you know,

1137
00:52:26,239 --> 00:52:28,440
Speaker 1: like not just behind your back, I'm worried, Like, am

1138
00:52:28,480 --> 00:52:30,400
Speaker 1: I gonna have to say some ship like you know

1139
00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:30,799
Speaker 1: what I mean?

1140
00:52:30,880 --> 00:52:33,319
Speaker 8: So like even in front, like we have to like

1141
00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:36,359
Speaker 8: it's uncomfortable at times, you know what I mean. But

1142
00:52:36,400 --> 00:52:38,400
Speaker 8: behind that behind his back, like I don't know what

1143
00:52:38,440 --> 00:52:41,080
Speaker 8: he's supposed to what bron is supposed to do, maybe

1144
00:52:41,120 --> 00:52:44,040
Speaker 8: not fucking on them more after this he got a

1145
00:52:44,080 --> 00:52:45,719
Speaker 8: boot that motherfuckert that Like you know what I'm saying,

1146
00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:50,359
Speaker 8: between Black Lives Matter and me too. You know, I'm exhausted,

1147
00:52:50,480 --> 00:52:52,040
Speaker 8: bitch about.

1148
00:52:51,760 --> 00:52:55,880
Speaker 7: The mask a black life or a woman, the actual

1149
00:52:55,960 --> 00:52:58,040
Speaker 7: woman like that is dealing with the function.

1150
00:52:58,480 --> 00:52:59,400
Speaker 1: I'm exhausted.

1151
00:52:59,640 --> 00:53:03,160
Speaker 2: He's I'm so tired of considering women and black people

1152
00:53:03,239 --> 00:53:06,480
Speaker 2: to simultaneously.

1153
00:53:07,320 --> 00:53:08,480
Speaker 6: Caring about people.

1154
00:53:10,400 --> 00:53:13,640
Speaker 1: Empathy, tympathy, you know what I mean. Like God, Like,

1155
00:53:13,640 --> 00:53:16,600
Speaker 1: get the funk out of here, like he got he

1156
00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:19,200
Speaker 1: got to give him the book that for sure.

1157
00:53:20,760 --> 00:53:22,799
Speaker 6: Yet to get you guys?

1158
00:53:22,880 --> 00:53:25,640
Speaker 2: Are you guys are two of the only people I've

1159
00:53:25,640 --> 00:53:29,560
Speaker 2: seen publicly express what basically every black person I know

1160
00:53:29,719 --> 00:53:34,239
Speaker 2: expresses privately, which is the table stakes are that white

1161
00:53:34,280 --> 00:53:38,040
Speaker 2: people are all racist to some extent, like you know

1162
00:53:38,040 --> 00:53:40,520
Speaker 2: what I mean, Like to some level like there's no

1163
00:53:40,640 --> 00:53:44,120
Speaker 2: surprise when that happens. So, like, I don't think Bron

1164
00:53:44,200 --> 00:53:47,560
Speaker 2: thought Adam Mendelssohn had the perspective of a black person

1165
00:53:47,560 --> 00:53:50,920
Speaker 2: in America. And it doesn't invalidate the work that he

1166
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:54,080
Speaker 2: did with voter registration drives in his school and everything,

1167
00:53:54,120 --> 00:53:56,760
Speaker 2: because it's like, if you're going to ask black people

1168
00:53:57,160 --> 00:54:00,200
Speaker 2: to find perfect white people to help them advance, it's

1169
00:54:00,239 --> 00:54:04,400
Speaker 2: black causes. Good fucking luck, bro I mean, you know,

1170
00:54:04,520 --> 00:54:07,880
Speaker 2: like like who's he gonna hire? Like how do you

1171
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:08,440
Speaker 2: vet that?

1172
00:54:08,560 --> 00:54:08,920
Speaker 9: You see?

1173
00:54:09,200 --> 00:54:12,000
Speaker 2: Like it's exactly what Tyler said, Like, which, there we

1174
00:54:12,040 --> 00:54:16,880
Speaker 2: go again. But it's like, yeah, you you almost assume, right,

1175
00:54:16,880 --> 00:54:20,920
Speaker 2: you you both almost assumed that like Broun's publicist, Adam

1176
00:54:20,960 --> 00:54:24,000
Speaker 2: Mendelssohn would be different on a call with Rachel Nichols

1177
00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:25,279
Speaker 2: than he would be with Maverick Carter.

1178
00:54:25,640 --> 00:54:28,799
Speaker 1: Oh, no doubt, no doubt, no doubt.

1179
00:54:28,960 --> 00:54:30,399
Speaker 9: So but that was hope.

1180
00:54:30,440 --> 00:54:31,720
Speaker 1: They don't prove you right.

1181
00:54:32,400 --> 00:54:34,279
Speaker 8: That's you know what I mean, Like that's why that's

1182
00:54:34,280 --> 00:54:37,319
Speaker 8: how you approach these situations like please don't prove me right.

1183
00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:41,799
Speaker 8: It's not just you know, it happens more than you'd

1184
00:54:41,880 --> 00:54:42,440
Speaker 8: like it to happen.

1185
00:54:43,160 --> 00:54:47,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's remarkable that the black squares on Instagram didn't

1186
00:54:47,560 --> 00:54:50,840
Speaker 2: solve anything. My my my mom says something to me

1187
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:52,880
Speaker 2: last summer that I thought was perfect. She said, well,

1188
00:54:52,880 --> 00:54:55,839
Speaker 2: if all these people really feel this way, I guess

1189
00:54:55,880 --> 00:55:00,120
Speaker 2: we'll actually get some shit changed. Right. Yeah, it's it's

1190
00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:01,800
Speaker 2: a lot easier to post it on his post a

1191
00:55:01,800 --> 00:55:04,640
Speaker 2: black square on Instagram, right, And it is to say

1192
00:55:04,880 --> 00:55:07,120
Speaker 2: than it is for Rachel Nicholas to go to ESPN

1193
00:55:07,160 --> 00:55:10,320
Speaker 2: and say, it's in my contract that I'm on this show.

1194
00:55:10,680 --> 00:55:12,360
Speaker 2: Put her on the fucking show too.

1195
00:55:12,600 --> 00:55:15,160
Speaker 1: Right, right right, right, right right, and we're.

1196
00:55:15,080 --> 00:55:16,800
Speaker 2: The two best people, and you want us both to

1197
00:55:16,840 --> 00:55:19,239
Speaker 2: be on that put both of us on the fucking show.

1198
00:55:19,960 --> 00:55:23,160
Speaker 2: Like she could have taken that stand instead of the

1199
00:55:23,239 --> 00:55:25,520
Speaker 2: stand that was just about her career. Yeah.

1200
00:55:25,520 --> 00:55:28,280
Speaker 12: Absolutely, And then like they didn't even listen to Maria

1201
00:55:28,280 --> 00:55:30,680
Speaker 12: when they asked her, Hey, you know, I would prefer

1202
00:55:30,840 --> 00:55:33,279
Speaker 12: not to work with the person who doesn't think I'm

1203
00:55:33,320 --> 00:55:35,399
Speaker 12: qualified to have this fucking job, even though I worked

1204
00:55:35,400 --> 00:55:36,160
Speaker 12: fucking hard.

1205
00:55:36,080 --> 00:55:37,920
Speaker 1: And they still try to squeeze her ass.

1206
00:55:37,680 --> 00:55:40,520
Speaker 8: In that motherfucker you know what I mean, Like they

1207
00:55:40,520 --> 00:55:43,200
Speaker 8: haven't even respected her wishes when she's the fucking, you know,

1208
00:55:43,400 --> 00:55:44,520
Speaker 8: victim in this situation.

1209
00:55:44,640 --> 00:55:47,919
Speaker 11: You know what I mean, Like, Oh, it's it's, it's,

1210
00:55:47,960 --> 00:55:51,200
Speaker 11: it's it's the way they're dealing with is absolute fucking bullshit,

1211
00:55:51,840 --> 00:55:55,279
Speaker 11: you know what I'm saying, Like yeah, and and and

1212
00:55:55,400 --> 00:55:57,759
Speaker 11: uh the producer what was your name?

1213
00:55:57,800 --> 00:56:01,040
Speaker 1: That that that that day, Kayla john Kayla Johnson. You

1214
00:56:01,040 --> 00:56:01,399
Speaker 1: know what I mean.

1215
00:56:01,440 --> 00:56:03,799
Speaker 8: She ended up leaving because they were giving her like

1216
00:56:04,120 --> 00:56:06,480
Speaker 8: less than desirable jobs after that.

1217
00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:08,239
Speaker 1: You know what I mean, They're trying to get her

1218
00:56:08,239 --> 00:56:08,640
Speaker 1: out of there.

1219
00:56:08,719 --> 00:56:11,400
Speaker 2: She got the freeze out right, I mean that's like, bro,

1220
00:56:11,719 --> 00:56:12,160
Speaker 2: I love.

1221
00:56:12,360 --> 00:56:16,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I did it. Yeah, I did it. You know

1222
00:56:16,239 --> 00:56:19,560
Speaker 1: what I mean. I mean, mother, come on, man, But like, oh, I.

1223
00:56:19,640 --> 00:56:24,880
Speaker 2: Just this is the issue with corporate media and corporate

1224
00:56:24,880 --> 00:56:28,200
Speaker 2: structure in general. And I know Tyler, I thought, Tyler,

1225
00:56:28,239 --> 00:56:30,640
Speaker 2: I thought I had some really great points about HR

1226
00:56:30,719 --> 00:56:34,000
Speaker 2: and the purpose of HR. But there's basically two ways

1227
00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:37,040
Speaker 2: you can live. You can live like Kayla Johnson by

1228
00:56:37,080 --> 00:56:40,040
Speaker 2: your own by your own actual moral ethical code, and

1229
00:56:40,080 --> 00:56:42,920
Speaker 2: then not bother to lie or cover ship. Say hell yeah,

1230
00:56:43,400 --> 00:56:45,680
Speaker 2: so someone says, someone says some funck shit about her

1231
00:56:45,719 --> 00:56:49,000
Speaker 2: and uploaded it to our server. That I'm on, hell yeah,

1232
00:56:49,040 --> 00:56:50,880
Speaker 2: I told her someone said this shit about you and

1233
00:56:50,920 --> 00:56:54,000
Speaker 2: I showed it to you. Or you could build your

1234
00:56:54,040 --> 00:56:58,440
Speaker 2: brand around diversity and go out there and talk out

1235
00:56:58,440 --> 00:57:01,040
Speaker 2: of both sides in your mouth. And this situation is

1236
00:57:01,080 --> 00:57:04,479
Speaker 2: a great example of which one serves your career better.

1237
00:57:05,239 --> 00:57:07,400
Speaker 2: You could be Rachel Nichols, or you could be a

1238
00:57:07,440 --> 00:57:10,120
Speaker 2: producer who was the only person to get punished and

1239
00:57:10,160 --> 00:57:13,360
Speaker 2: who then got frozen out and quit. Like that's the

1240
00:57:13,360 --> 00:57:16,680
Speaker 2: way that this corporate structure, not just in media, but

1241
00:57:16,760 --> 00:57:18,840
Speaker 2: I feel like in any large corporation, that's the way

1242
00:57:18,840 --> 00:57:22,280
Speaker 2: that it That's the way it's incentivized. Like it's incentivized

1243
00:57:22,280 --> 00:57:23,120
Speaker 2: for you to bullshit.

1244
00:57:24,160 --> 00:57:27,000
Speaker 8: What did she do wrong though, for her to get

1245
00:57:27,040 --> 00:57:30,840
Speaker 8: suspended pulling? I mean, like information that is available to

1246
00:57:31,040 --> 00:57:33,960
Speaker 8: Rachel Nichols or Maria Taylor, you know what I mean?

1247
00:57:35,240 --> 00:57:39,040
Speaker 2: Like that information is she was on the producer's server,

1248
00:57:39,200 --> 00:57:41,320
Speaker 2: so she took something off the server to show it

1249
00:57:41,360 --> 00:57:44,919
Speaker 2: to Maria Taylor, and I think Marie, I don't know, right,

1250
00:57:45,840 --> 00:57:48,560
Speaker 2: I don't think Maria Taylor had access to it, but

1251
00:57:48,600 --> 00:57:48,880
Speaker 2: I don't.

1252
00:57:48,960 --> 00:57:51,920
Speaker 6: I mean, yeah, yeah, there's a technicality. Shit that can

1253
00:57:51,960 --> 00:57:53,920
Speaker 6: always get you. She probably they probably fried her for

1254
00:57:53,920 --> 00:57:56,120
Speaker 6: a for giving access to Maria Taylor for something that

1255
00:57:56,120 --> 00:57:59,800
Speaker 6: you shouldn't have had access to, which is bullshit, but yeah,

1256
00:58:00,040 --> 00:58:02,120
Speaker 6: that's how they do. And like I said in my tweets,

1257
00:58:02,120 --> 00:58:03,760
Speaker 6: don't ever think HR is on your side in these

1258
00:58:04,000 --> 00:58:06,520
Speaker 6: any type of these situations. Like there's a tweet saying

1259
00:58:06,560 --> 00:58:08,600
Speaker 6: this is why I don't go to HR. No, I implore

1260
00:58:08,520 --> 00:58:12,240
Speaker 6: you go to HR with any and everything because you

1261
00:58:12,280 --> 00:58:15,120
Speaker 6: want that timeline established, You want that paper trail established.

1262
00:58:15,360 --> 00:58:17,920
Speaker 6: Email them about everything. If you have in person meetings,

1263
00:58:18,040 --> 00:58:19,960
Speaker 6: make sure you get a follow up email you know

1264
00:58:20,120 --> 00:58:21,959
Speaker 6: that you send out to them detailing what will happen

1265
00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:24,560
Speaker 6: in those in person meetings. Get that paper trail going,

1266
00:58:24,680 --> 00:58:27,160
Speaker 6: get that timeline going. Make sure you see see your

1267
00:58:27,520 --> 00:58:30,840
Speaker 6: your personal email in all of these emails too. BCC

1268
00:58:30,960 --> 00:58:32,720
Speaker 6: yourself if you feel the need to do that. But

1269
00:58:33,160 --> 00:58:35,320
Speaker 6: always go to HR with anything, even though the HR

1270
00:58:35,400 --> 00:58:37,160
Speaker 6: is feudal and you know that they're on the company's

1271
00:58:37,160 --> 00:58:38,920
Speaker 6: side and they're not really going to take any significant

1272
00:58:38,920 --> 00:58:40,720
Speaker 6: action on the employees part of most of the most

1273
00:58:40,760 --> 00:58:43,280
Speaker 6: of these situations. But go to HR with any and everything.

1274
00:58:43,280 --> 00:58:46,480
Speaker 6: Don't let this deter you because HR didn't take action here.

1275
00:58:46,680 --> 00:58:48,680
Speaker 6: HR rarely takes action, But like I said, just get

1276
00:58:48,680 --> 00:58:51,040
Speaker 6: that timeline and payper trail going in case you got

1277
00:58:51,080 --> 00:58:52,200
Speaker 6: to take there. That's the court one day.

1278
00:58:52,600 --> 00:58:55,240
Speaker 2: Your point was basically, HR is not on your side,

1279
00:58:55,280 --> 00:58:57,840
Speaker 2: but that's the agency that's the part of your corporation

1280
00:58:57,960 --> 00:59:01,120
Speaker 2: you work for that will not delete the email about what's.

1281
00:59:00,800 --> 00:59:02,560
Speaker 6: Happening, exactly.

1282
00:59:03,720 --> 00:59:08,280
Speaker 1: Correct the mundo, Oh, this whole system is fucking fuck

1283
00:59:09,200 --> 00:59:12,240
Speaker 1: Like listen, Like going to the people you think are

1284
00:59:12,240 --> 00:59:14,120
Speaker 1: supposed to help you, you know they're not going to

1285
00:59:14,200 --> 00:59:16,160
Speaker 1: fucking help you, but you need them to create a

1286
00:59:16,240 --> 00:59:22,080
Speaker 1: timeline you.

1287
00:59:17,160 --> 00:59:22,360
Speaker 13: Need how Like that is the most roundabout way to

1288
00:59:22,480 --> 00:59:26,760
Speaker 13: getting assistance that you could possibly fucking create on the

1289
00:59:26,800 --> 00:59:28,760
Speaker 13: fucking planet, you know what I mean.

1290
00:59:28,920 --> 00:59:30,200
Speaker 1: Like it's it's Sidney.

1291
00:59:30,480 --> 00:59:34,280
Speaker 6: Jobs are fucking scams. Bro Oh, we've.

1292
00:59:34,080 --> 00:59:37,320
Speaker 1: Really created this. We had so many ways to exist.

1293
00:59:37,520 --> 00:59:40,760
Speaker 1: I would rather be out here boxing a fucking lion and.

1294
00:59:43,160 --> 00:59:46,120
Speaker 13: Thirty thirty three and be out this bitch to be

1295
00:59:46,160 --> 00:59:49,160
Speaker 13: sitting in the office, you know what I'm saying, surrounding

1296
00:59:49,240 --> 00:59:50,200
Speaker 13: my motherfuckers.

1297
00:59:49,800 --> 00:59:51,720
Speaker 1: There don't really fuck with me that I don't fuck

1298
00:59:51,800 --> 00:59:53,560
Speaker 1: with you know what I mean? And if I need

1299
00:59:53,600 --> 00:59:55,760
Speaker 1: help going to people that don't really want to help me.

1300
00:59:56,040 --> 00:59:58,520
Speaker 1: It's all bullshit, all of it, all of it.

1301
00:59:59,400 --> 01:00:02,200
Speaker 2: That's why whenever we talk about astrophysics or whatever on

1302
01:00:02,240 --> 01:00:05,560
Speaker 2: this show, like that, this is the stupid human shit

1303
01:00:05,680 --> 01:00:08,360
Speaker 2: that I'm thinking about. Like the Earth. Like people like

1304
01:00:08,400 --> 01:00:10,760
Speaker 2: you saw the Gulf of Mexico caught on fire over

1305
01:00:10,800 --> 01:00:13,880
Speaker 2: the weekend. Yeah, and everyone was like, Oh, we're killing

1306
01:00:13,880 --> 01:00:15,880
Speaker 2: the Earth. It's such a The Earth is not gonna

1307
01:00:15,880 --> 01:00:18,680
Speaker 2: fucking notice when we go extinct. Bro, the Earth will

1308
01:00:18,840 --> 01:00:22,320
Speaker 2: kill Like the Earth at one point was covered in

1309
01:00:22,360 --> 01:00:26,280
Speaker 2: a mile and a half of lava across its entire surface. Like,

1310
01:00:26,320 --> 01:00:28,840
Speaker 2: we are here for a blink and the Earth will

1311
01:00:28,880 --> 01:00:31,160
Speaker 2: not notice when we die. The house you're sitting here

1312
01:00:31,240 --> 01:00:34,960
Speaker 2: right now will be deconstructed within thirty years of humanity dying. Yeah.

1313
01:00:34,960 --> 01:00:38,040
Speaker 6: Earth, Earth is not dying. Earth is adjusting to kill us.

1314
01:00:38,320 --> 01:00:41,600
Speaker 6: That's what That's what the planet is doing. Earth is

1315
01:00:41,640 --> 01:00:43,600
Speaker 6: not dying at all. They are evolving to get us

1316
01:00:43,640 --> 01:00:44,439
Speaker 6: the fuck out of here.

1317
01:00:47,480 --> 01:00:51,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's exactly right. It's not gonna hurt It's not

1318
01:00:51,640 --> 01:00:53,840
Speaker 2: ultimately gonna hurt the Earth. I mean it will hurt

1319
01:00:53,880 --> 01:00:56,440
Speaker 2: some other species when the temperature goes up and the

1320
01:00:56,480 --> 01:00:58,640
Speaker 2: water comes up, but it's not The Earth is still

1321
01:00:58,680 --> 01:01:01,080
Speaker 2: gonna be here, bro, there, it's not gonna blow up

1322
01:01:01,080 --> 01:01:04,040
Speaker 2: because the temperature went up two degrees humanity and the

1323
01:01:04,080 --> 01:01:05,400
Speaker 2: power grid is gonna blow up.

1324
01:01:05,560 --> 01:01:08,640
Speaker 8: Like I got like another three hundred million years on

1325
01:01:08,680 --> 01:01:13,280
Speaker 8: this timeline, buddy, it's gonna be gucci this we might

1326
01:01:13,320 --> 01:01:15,200
Speaker 8: have a hundred We'll see you feel me.

1327
01:01:15,440 --> 01:01:19,320
Speaker 2: We have this technology and knowledge and whatever and this

1328
01:01:19,480 --> 01:01:22,040
Speaker 2: opportunity and like, this is the world we built.

1329
01:01:22,400 --> 01:01:24,280
Speaker 8: Like this is you know, That's what trists me out

1330
01:01:24,360 --> 01:01:27,360
Speaker 8: all the time I'm driving around. I mean, I'll say this,

1331
01:01:27,600 --> 01:01:30,760
Speaker 8: flying at night is the one time where I look

1332
01:01:30,800 --> 01:01:33,400
Speaker 8: over the planet. I'm like, damn, I could see if

1333
01:01:33,440 --> 01:01:36,960
Speaker 8: you see the world from this point of view, this

1334
01:01:37,040 --> 01:01:38,440
Speaker 8: is kind of hard, you know what I mean. But

1335
01:01:38,520 --> 01:01:42,400
Speaker 8: the actual existing within what we created all these systems

1336
01:01:42,400 --> 01:01:45,960
Speaker 8: that surround us is fucking trash. We are not good

1337
01:01:46,040 --> 01:01:50,040
Speaker 8: at it. It's not enjoyable. It doesn't halfway work, you

1338
01:01:50,080 --> 01:01:51,560
Speaker 8: know what I mean. I mean, at least not for

1339
01:01:51,680 --> 01:01:56,000
Speaker 8: me as a nigga, you know what I'm saying. In

1340
01:01:56,040 --> 01:01:58,000
Speaker 8: this experiment that we created.

1341
01:01:57,840 --> 01:02:00,760
Speaker 2: But again from the perspective of the jet because you

1342
01:02:00,800 --> 01:02:05,280
Speaker 2: have more melanin than me. Your mortgage rate is gonna

1343
01:02:05,280 --> 01:02:08,040
Speaker 2: be one point five percent higher, and it's gonna try

1344
01:02:08,080 --> 01:02:10,720
Speaker 2: and actively keep your family from owning a house. How

1345
01:02:10,800 --> 01:02:12,600
Speaker 2: does that make any fucking sense?

1346
01:02:13,000 --> 01:02:13,160
Speaker 10: Row?

1347
01:02:13,680 --> 01:02:17,280
Speaker 2: Row, It's like nothing today makes sense unless you explain

1348
01:02:17,360 --> 01:02:19,440
Speaker 2: the whole history of the country argument. You know what

1349
01:02:19,480 --> 01:02:23,360
Speaker 2: I mean? You have though without the previously on. If

1350
01:02:23,440 --> 01:02:25,760
Speaker 2: you were to just show up for this episode of

1351
01:02:25,760 --> 01:02:27,600
Speaker 2: Today on Planet Earth, none of the.

1352
01:02:27,680 --> 01:02:31,439
Speaker 1: Change the channel. I would chose the channel asap. But Mike,

01:02:35,200 --> 01:02:38,240
Speaker 8: You ran up out that ship at like twenty four,

1355
01:02:38,760 --> 01:02:40,600
Speaker 8: you know what I mean? Or twenty six whenever you like,

1356
01:02:40,800 --> 01:02:42,840
Speaker 8: I don't want I don't want to fucking work in

1357
01:02:42,880 --> 01:02:43,880
Speaker 8: this fucking system.

1358
01:02:43,960 --> 01:02:46,200
Speaker 1: Fuck this shit. It doesn't work for anybody.

1359
01:02:46,600 --> 01:02:50,320
Speaker 7: Nobody truly likes it, and we still consistently deal with

1360
01:02:50,320 --> 01:02:52,960
Speaker 7: this throw Like what the fuck, nigga?

1361
01:02:53,040 --> 01:02:53,480
Speaker 6: You know what I mean?

1362
01:02:53,480 --> 01:02:57,040
Speaker 8: Like people are trying to go back into the office, bitch,

1368
01:03:08,600 --> 01:03:10,400
Speaker 2: into the office, And it was like, no one wants

1369
01:03:10,480 --> 01:03:13,160
Speaker 2: to go into the office, but like six percent of

1370
01:03:13,200 --> 01:03:15,560
Speaker 2: black people wanted to go back into the office.

1371
01:03:16,200 --> 01:03:20,160
Speaker 6: I was just like, no, that ain't our type of party, man, Bro,

01:05:13,440 --> 01:05:17,320
Speaker 2: by naming the booker Boy of the week is Mike Gardabassio.

1411
01:05:18,960 --> 01:05:21,240
Speaker 6: No, this is a shocking development.

1412
01:05:23,760 --> 01:05:26,400
Speaker 2: So as a brief history for people who picked us

1413
01:05:26,440 --> 01:05:28,440
Speaker 2: up with the volume, we used to have a podcast

1414
01:05:28,440 --> 01:05:31,800
Speaker 2: that we did on Patreon and we had several hundred people.

1415
01:05:31,880 --> 01:05:34,360
Speaker 2: Several hundred people like a thousand people sign up on

1416
01:05:34,360 --> 01:05:37,600
Speaker 2: the Patreon, they're paying us some money for podcasts every month.

1417
01:05:38,680 --> 01:05:41,200
Speaker 2: When we signed with the Volume, obviously we're going to

1418
01:05:41,200 --> 01:05:42,920
Speaker 2: the Volume, all the shows are free. We were really

1419
01:05:42,960 --> 01:05:45,000
Speaker 2: excited about that people not having to pay for it,

1420
01:05:45,040 --> 01:05:47,160
Speaker 2: et cetera, and us still being able to be paid

1421
01:05:47,160 --> 01:05:49,840
Speaker 2: for it. But we had a bunch of podcasts up

1422
01:05:49,920 --> 01:05:52,360
Speaker 2: on Patreon, many of which we felt were pretty good

1423
01:05:52,600 --> 01:05:54,600
Speaker 2: and people liked, so we didn't want to delete the

1424
01:05:54,600 --> 01:05:57,760
Speaker 2: Patreon and delete all that content. So what we told

1425
01:05:57,800 --> 01:06:01,880
Speaker 2: people was, we're just gonna the billing every month so

1426
01:06:01,880 --> 01:06:03,680
Speaker 2: that you don't get charged for it. But if you

1427
01:06:03,880 --> 01:06:05,640
Speaker 2: if you have signed up, you can still listen to

1428
01:06:05,680 --> 01:06:07,640
Speaker 2: all the podcasts whatever, because there's a lot of non

1429
01:06:07,680 --> 01:06:11,560
Speaker 2: time sensitive shit on there. I forgot to pause the

1430
01:06:11,560 --> 01:06:15,560
Speaker 2: billing for July, which meant that on July first, I

1431
01:06:15,600 --> 01:06:20,640
Speaker 2: woke up and had a fucking heart attack because I

1432
01:06:20,680 --> 01:06:25,520
Speaker 2: saw we charged all of our patreons.

1433
01:06:25,120 --> 01:06:31,720
Speaker 1: Our favorite followers to pockets.

1434
01:06:31,840 --> 01:06:38,160
Speaker 2: I come on, dog, so I am individually. There's no

1435
01:06:38,280 --> 01:06:41,560
Speaker 2: refund all option on Patreon, so I am my booger

1436
01:06:41,600 --> 01:06:43,880
Speaker 2: boy of the week as I am individually looking up

1437
01:06:43,920 --> 01:06:47,440
Speaker 2: every single subscriber to hit refund for the money, and

1438
01:06:47,520 --> 01:06:50,640
Speaker 2: I will never forget to pause the billing again, and

1439
01:06:50,680 --> 01:06:53,360
Speaker 2: we will probably delete the ship because I'm just gonna

1440
01:06:53,400 --> 01:06:56,280
Speaker 2: be too stressed to fuck out about it. But I

1441
01:06:56,320 --> 01:06:58,400
Speaker 2: did already pause the August billings. So if you're on

1442
01:06:58,400 --> 01:07:00,320
Speaker 2: there anyway, that's why I'm the booger boy the week.

1443
01:07:00,800 --> 01:07:02,960
Speaker 2: Thank you to everyone. Everyone's been so nice. It's been

1444
01:07:03,000 --> 01:07:05,160
Speaker 2: making me sick to myself so nice, which.

1445
01:07:05,240 --> 01:07:07,080
Speaker 1: Which doesn't make it bad, like you said, doesn't make

1446
01:07:07,120 --> 01:07:08,760
Speaker 1: it makes me feel worse about it.

1447
01:07:08,800 --> 01:07:11,760
Speaker 7: Everybody, so people like keeping I'm like, I don't want this,

1448
01:07:12,000 --> 01:07:13,320
Speaker 7: it's dirty money.

1449
01:07:14,400 --> 01:07:15,280
Speaker 1: Take your money back.

1450
01:07:15,400 --> 01:07:17,720

1453
01:07:22,640 --> 01:07:24,080
Speaker 2: and I was like, shoot me in the face.

Speaker 1: Did you cry? Did you not?

Speaker 2: Yeah? I was just like, oh my god, I took
