What's Right with 0:01:14.640 --> 0:01:18.880 Nick Wright? Episode one thirty two. So glad to be here, 0:01:18.959 --> 0:01:21.640 so much to discuss. We have some good NFL, we 0:01:21.680 --> 0:01:24.560 have a ton of NBA demons. Let's just get right 0:01:24.600 --> 0:01:28.000 to it. Here's what's not on today's show. What has 0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:32.240 missed the cut from today's show. Philip Rivers might want 0:01:32.319 --> 0:01:35.520 to unretire. I hadn't seen that story. It's one of 0:01:35.560 --> 0:01:39.319 the reasons on the show. The Chiefs pour one out 0:01:39.360 --> 0:01:43.520 for the land Shark. Frank Clark came to Kansas City, 0:01:44.080 --> 0:01:48.040 they won a super Bowl. He's leaving Kansas City having 0:01:48.120 --> 0:01:51.880 won another super Bowl. He honestly, they're gonna release him, 0:01:52.760 --> 0:01:54.280 and I'm just spend a second on this. 0:01:54.360 --> 0:01:55.400 Actually, he was. 0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:58.880 Underwhelming in most of his regular seasons and an all 0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:02.400 timer in the playoffs, third most all time playoff sacks. 0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:05.720 Got nothing we love for Frank Clark, and I use 0:02:05.760 --> 0:02:07.920 thirty two million dollars cap it. They had to release him. 0:02:07.920 --> 0:02:08.239 I get it. 0:02:08.280 --> 0:02:11.160 They couldn't get a deal done a renegotiation. Shout out 0:02:11.160 --> 0:02:17.000 to Frank Clark. And then also Lebron's rim cycle. Lebron 0:02:17.080 --> 0:02:19.680 has been watching games and tweeting about it. We'll get 0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:23.959 to that later. He's also been having dreams and tweeting 0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:28.799 about it. This is about watching Duke Carolina with Jordan, 0:02:29.720 --> 0:02:34.600 and then he woke up before it ended and he 0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:36.760 had to go to the bathroom. 0:02:36.880 --> 0:02:42.120 Okay, yeah before we almost like Russell Wilson, Well. 0:02:42.520 --> 0:02:44.720 I wouldn't say it's Russell Wilson asked. 0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:45.960 What I would say is this. 0:02:47.600 --> 0:02:52.880 That's a very specific details of a dream. I find 0:02:52.919 --> 0:02:57.040 that believable because I have dreams like that. I sometimes 0:02:57.120 --> 0:03:01.040 dream about the next day's show, and like actually do 0:03:01.280 --> 0:03:05.040 like topics like halfway topics in my head that I 0:03:05.080 --> 0:03:07.400 then use on the air. But now, part of that's 0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:09.920 because I sleep with a nicotine patron, so like I 0:03:09.960 --> 0:03:15.480 have constant stimulus going yeah, you know, I'm Lebron obviously 0:03:15.480 --> 0:03:17.320 doesn't sleep with a nicotine patron, but he seems to 0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:21.440 have very vivid dreams. Here's the deal, and this is 0:03:21.520 --> 0:03:27.400 something honestly demons could learn as well. And there's no 0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:29.040 shame because Lebron hasn't. 0:03:28.800 --> 0:03:30.320 Learned it yet. 0:03:30.680 --> 0:03:34.440 Nobody won't to hear about your dreams. There's no story 0:03:35.680 --> 0:03:40.080 more boring to the listener than listen to this dream 0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:41.000 I had last. 0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:43.120 Oh wait, what are you to late? Are you saying 0:03:43.120 --> 0:03:44.160 that that's something that I. 0:03:44.080 --> 0:03:49.000 Do occasionally occasionally, Yeah, like, oh my god, I had 0:03:49.040 --> 0:03:52.120 the scariest, craziest dream. And then I'm like, okay, well, 0:03:52.120 --> 0:03:54.640 these next sixteen second in my life, I'm never getting back. 0:03:55.040 --> 0:03:58.080 You at least have the wherewithal to not tweet about 0:03:58.120 --> 0:04:03.040 it to forty million pp. But no, no matter how 0:04:03.200 --> 0:04:06.400 interesting the dream is to the dreamer. 0:04:06.880 --> 0:04:09.200 Yeah, you'd if you just had to be there. You 0:04:09.280 --> 0:04:09.800 had to be. 0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:13.720 There and no one else was there. The only here 0:04:13.840 --> 0:04:18.440 is the only exception to the rule. If you sleep 0:04:18.560 --> 0:04:22.279 next to a person and you wake up from a 0:04:22.360 --> 0:04:26.040 dream like frightened or excited or whatever, they're like, baby, 0:04:26.080 --> 0:04:28.680 what's wrong. You're like, oh my god, I just had 0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:32.480 the scariest dream, or it's the craziest You have like 0:04:32.520 --> 0:04:35.880 a fifteen second window to give the most cliffs notes 0:04:36.000 --> 0:04:40.600 version of it. Yeah, that's okay, But like three in 0:04:40.640 --> 0:04:43.960 the afternoon the next day, you'd be like, hey, man, 0:04:45.000 --> 0:04:47.800 you won't believe this dream I had. I will believe it. 0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:50.360 I won't be interested in it. All right, let's get 0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:52.720 to the actual show. We got a serious topic. Start 0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:53.040 the show. 0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:55.760 Go ahead to all right, man, John Morant's been in 0:04:55.800 --> 0:04:58.400 the news a lot the last couple of months. Yeah, 0:04:58.400 --> 0:05:00.839 he was sidelined for two games by Memphis, but there's 0:05:00.880 --> 0:05:02.440 no timetable for his return. 0:05:03.160 --> 0:05:06.240 Are you optimistic that Jaw will turn things around? 0:05:06.320 --> 0:05:09.520 Okay, so let's give it the full timeline of just 0:05:09.680 --> 0:05:10.880 things we know about. 0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:12.320 Okay. 0:05:12.920 --> 0:05:16.400 We know that allegedly he was having a basketball game 0:05:16.440 --> 0:05:20.320 at his house involving a seventeen year old from the neighborhood. 0:05:20.800 --> 0:05:24.919 They got into a confrontation and he is alleged to 0:05:25.040 --> 0:05:28.000 have punched the kid and then alleged to have gone 0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:31.080 in the house and put a gun in his waistband 0:05:31.320 --> 0:05:34.200 and not necessarily not like pointed the. 0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:35.960 Gun, but just made it so they could see it. 0:05:36.200 --> 0:05:36.320 Right. 0:05:36.720 --> 0:05:43.360 We know that's alleged. We know that his mom is 0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:47.920 reported to have gotten into a dispute at finish line. 0:05:48.000 --> 0:05:52.640 She called Jah and he showed up with nine other 0:05:53.120 --> 0:05:57.360 guys to the finish line, well to the mall parking lot, 0:05:57.640 --> 0:05:59.960 and then a guy who did not sign up for this. 0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:03.360 The mall security guard had to be like, I think 0:06:03.400 --> 0:06:08.520 this is a bad idea, to which Job allegedly said, 0:06:08.560 --> 0:06:11.560 I want to know what time he gets off. We 0:06:11.640 --> 0:06:15.680 know that's been reported. We also know that the Grizzlies 0:06:15.680 --> 0:06:19.160 got into some confrontation with some of Jos's friends. I'm 0:06:19.200 --> 0:06:23.160 sorry the Pacers did with some of Jos's friends. And 0:06:23.200 --> 0:06:27.200 then there were a couple cars. Job was in one 0:06:27.240 --> 0:06:31.080 of them. This we know this part. They were around 0:06:31.120 --> 0:06:34.880 the pacers loading area to the bus, and then from 0:06:34.960 --> 0:06:38.719 one of the cars supposedly that job was in, a 0:06:38.839 --> 0:06:46.000 laser pointer started going pacer by pacer and they're Obviously 0:06:46.040 --> 0:06:51.480 was speculation that these guys didn't have a laser pointer 0:06:51.640 --> 0:06:56.120 on them, that it was a laser sighted pistol, but 0:06:56.360 --> 0:06:58.640 they weren't able to figure that out for sure. We 0:06:58.800 --> 0:07:03.240 also know that Jav's dad and some of the Grizzlies 0:07:03.520 --> 0:07:07.640 got into it with Shannon Sharp, and we know unequivocally 0:07:08.760 --> 0:07:12.840 that Jab and this part is critical on his own 0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:19.440 Instagram feed, was shirtless in some club with a very 0:07:19.480 --> 0:07:26.960 small gun. Those are things we know. We tautology. We 0:07:27.040 --> 0:07:29.440 don't know what we don't know, We don't know what 0:07:29.560 --> 0:07:33.960 hasn't been reported. But as any parent knows, and I'm 0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:36.160 not trying to be printal towards Job, I'm just using 0:07:36.160 --> 0:07:41.800 his analogy for every time your kid gets caught doing 0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:45.000 something idiotic, it's like, oh, They've probably done that seven 0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:48.680 other times and I just didn't know or they got 0:07:48.720 --> 0:07:52.360 away with it. It's very very rare that every time you 0:07:52.400 --> 0:07:54.440 act a fool you get caught. 0:07:54.720 --> 0:07:54.880 Right. 0:07:55.720 --> 0:07:59.680 So it's the same reason why again I'm mixing metaphors here. 0:08:01.400 --> 0:08:06.880 Anyone I'm not trying to take this lightly, but almost 0:08:06.920 --> 0:08:13.320 anyone could theoretically get a dui. But the moment someone 0:08:13.360 --> 0:08:17.240 gets too, it's like, oh, they're an alcoholic. Because it's 0:08:17.480 --> 0:08:21.480 possible that the first time you ever drank too much 0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:24.360 and drove you got pulled over. It's impossible it happened 0:08:24.400 --> 0:08:28.440 to you twice, and so it's likely your first dui. 0:08:28.600 --> 0:08:31.480 You've probably done it one hundred times, but it's not 0:08:31.600 --> 0:08:34.000 you don't know it. But as soon as it happens 0:08:34.040 --> 0:08:36.640 more than once, it's like, oh, this happens all the time, 0:08:36.720 --> 0:08:39.000 and you just haven't gotten caught. So we have five 0:08:39.120 --> 0:08:43.720 reported incidents of something early with job. You then have 0:08:43.800 --> 0:08:47.160 this part of it, which I don't think enough people 0:08:47.280 --> 0:08:53.480 have made have focused in on. This is a slightly 0:08:53.679 --> 0:08:58.200 different story if it is John Morant shirtless with a 0:08:58.240 --> 0:09:03.360 gun and a club that someone else video tapes. And 0:09:03.400 --> 0:09:11.040 here's why it's still terrible dangerous decision making. But it's 0:09:11.080 --> 0:09:15.080 theoretically terrible dangerous decision making that he wouldn't have wanted 0:09:15.120 --> 0:09:19.800 out there. Oh, I didn't think anyone on your own 0:09:20.040 --> 0:09:27.480 ig Live is a different set of circumstances. I don't listen, 0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:30.160 I don't smoke weed, and smoking weed is again I'm 0:09:30.160 --> 0:09:31.439 mixing all these metaphors. 0:09:31.640 --> 0:09:32.560 But let's say I did. 0:09:33.559 --> 0:09:40.280 It's very different if I'm walking our dog smoking weed 0:09:41.080 --> 0:09:44.560 and somebody who recognized me snaps a picture and tweets it. 0:09:45.360 --> 0:09:50.400 Then if I'm walking our dog smoking weed and I 0:09:50.480 --> 0:09:53.319 tweet out a picture of myself thumbs up with the bullet, 0:09:53.320 --> 0:09:56.040 it's like these are You're doing the same thing, but 0:09:56.200 --> 0:09:59.880 your feelings of publicizing it. You follow what I'm saying here. 0:10:00.760 --> 0:10:05.640 It's it is he invited the world to nobles. Okay, 0:10:06.440 --> 0:10:08.400 so that's the timeline of all of it. 0:10:09.000 --> 0:10:09.440 Go ahead. 0:10:09.559 --> 0:10:13.680 The timeline kind of weird him doing the the finger emote, 0:10:14.360 --> 0:10:16.600 the little finger thing on the sideline and then him 0:10:16.600 --> 0:10:18.800 posting the picture and with the gun like two days later. 0:10:19.080 --> 0:10:20.760 Oh so I didn't even gut. 0:10:21.400 --> 0:10:25.960 It's not great. Uh So, here's so I want to 0:10:26.000 --> 0:10:29.760 talk about what Jah has in front of him from 0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:34.120 basketball standpoint. And then I want to talk about why 0:10:34.280 --> 0:10:40.600 I think this is actually a without being media hyperventilating, 0:10:42.840 --> 0:10:46.720 wildly dangerous. Okay, here's what he has in front of him. 0:10:48.160 --> 0:10:54.439 John Moriant legitimately could make a billion dollars. That's not hyperbole. 0:10:55.600 --> 0:10:58.840 The NBA is about signing new television rights deal. There's 0:10:58.920 --> 0:11:02.600 speculation that the new max contract is gonna be almost 0:11:02.600 --> 0:11:05.240 a million a game, that you're gonna have players making 0:11:05.440 --> 0:11:11.360 sixty five to seventy million a year. But Job's got 0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:17.440 what call it conservatively ten good years left. Again, go conservative, 0:11:17.720 --> 0:11:20.640 call it fifty million a year. It's already made one hundred. 0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:24.120 There's another five hundred million. He has a signature shoe. 0:11:25.200 --> 0:11:28.680 That's massive money. Only like six guys have a signature shoe. 0:11:29.160 --> 0:11:31.240 And then there's this part of it. I think people 0:11:31.280 --> 0:11:36.240 are overlooking the value in this demonse. Right now, who 0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:38.240 do you think? Just tell me you think the best 0:11:38.240 --> 0:11:41.720 player in the league is. Just give me a name. Okay, 0:11:41.720 --> 0:11:46.000 give me another guy who's in that conversation. Call it 0:11:46.120 --> 0:11:51.760 Luca Kevin, Luca Durant, Sure, Yo, kicch embiid all fair, right, 0:11:52.559 --> 0:11:55.240 So all of those guys, but Durant have something in common. 0:11:55.600 --> 0:12:01.559 They're not American Yiannis, Luca, yo kicchen Beiid, America Durant Old. 0:12:03.960 --> 0:12:09.040 Jah has a very real chance for a significant portion 0:12:09.120 --> 0:12:13.520 of time to be the best American born NBA player, 0:12:14.640 --> 0:12:16.640 like a five year run of that. So why do 0:12:16.720 --> 0:12:20.040 I bring that up? There is certain and this isn't 0:12:20.040 --> 0:12:24.839 a value judgment. It's just reality. Marketing and endorsements available 0:12:24.880 --> 0:12:29.160 to him that are gonna be unique to be because 0:12:29.760 --> 0:12:33.400 there is a different marketing for American born stars and 0:12:33.480 --> 0:12:36.640 other stars. So even without ever having to be the 0:12:36.679 --> 0:12:39.240 best player in the league, he could get a lot 0:12:39.280 --> 0:12:44.400 of those dollars because they're because for Luca and jokicchen 0:12:44.480 --> 0:12:47.360 Embiid and Yannis, it's not that they're not available to them, 0:12:47.360 --> 0:12:50.400 but it's different. It's just and so that's a factor 0:12:50.440 --> 0:12:53.080 that makes Jah. It's what people were hoping for Zion, 0:12:53.840 --> 0:12:56.040 you know what I mean, Like it's a unique lane 0:12:56.080 --> 0:12:59.160 where because so many of the great, great, great great 0:12:59.200 --> 0:13:04.000 players foreign born, he actually could because like if the 0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:07.320 sixth best player in the league typically can get X 0:13:07.360 --> 0:13:09.400 amount of dollars, if the sixth best player in the 0:13:09.480 --> 0:13:12.440 league is the best American born player, they can get 0:13:12.760 --> 0:13:15.960 different types of dollars. So that's the money he's risking. 0:13:17.160 --> 0:13:24.640 Now the actual risk. All right, people won't believe this, 0:13:24.880 --> 0:13:34.880 but this is true. Memphis, Tennessee, is one of the 0:13:35.120 --> 0:13:44.440 most dangerous places in the Western world when it comes 0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:51.559 to gun violence. If we are talking about fully developed nations, 0:13:53.040 --> 0:13:59.560 Memphis has Bloomberg just had the story the third highest 0:13:59.640 --> 0:14:06.720 hum side rate in the country, and the United States 0:14:07.400 --> 0:14:09.680 is about the most dangerous place you can be in 0:14:10.280 --> 0:14:11.720 for gun violence. 0:14:12.360 --> 0:14:13.840 So in the most. 0:14:13.679 --> 0:14:19.359 Dangerous country for guns he lives in, it's Baltimore, Detroit, Memphis. 0:14:19.400 --> 0:14:22.480 For major American cities, if you bring out cities that 0:14:22.560 --> 0:14:27.200 are smaller, New Orleans then jumps up there. And I 0:14:27.200 --> 0:14:29.960 figured out if it was Saint Louis or Kanas City. Actually, unfortunately, 0:14:30.120 --> 0:14:33.120 but Memphis is the third most dangerous big American city. 0:14:33.120 --> 0:14:37.960 Bloomberg just had it. Little context, Memphis has for every 0:14:38.080 --> 0:14:42.400 hundred thousand people, forty five homicides. New York City has 0:14:42.440 --> 0:14:48.720 six nine times higher murder rate. No, New York City 0:14:48.760 --> 0:14:51.520 is actually a low key, very safe city on that regard, 0:14:51.560 --> 0:14:52.560 but nobody thinks of it that way. 0:14:52.600 --> 0:14:53.000 But it is. 0:14:54.360 --> 0:15:00.120 Young Dolph got murdered at a cookie bakery in Memphis, Yes, 0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:08.000 mining his own business. I don't know what Jow's doing. 0:15:08.440 --> 0:15:09.760 I don't know what Jozz. 0:15:09.560 --> 0:15:10.320 Cru is doing. 0:15:11.000 --> 0:15:13.800 I do know that Memphis a city I love. In 0:15:13.840 --> 0:15:17.760 a city I spend time in a city that your 0:15:18.640 --> 0:15:21.600 mom's best friend in the world lives in, your cousin 0:15:21.680 --> 0:15:25.640 lives there. We go there when I was in Memphis 0:15:25.720 --> 0:15:31.240 for the Southern Classic. That night a few months ago, me, 0:15:31.440 --> 0:15:38.640 your mom, and Nicole went out again. Keep in mind 0:15:39.520 --> 0:15:45.360 my level of fame compared to jazz, my level of 0:15:45.520 --> 0:15:51.240 jewelry compared to jozs I wear two chains typically. We 0:15:51.320 --> 0:15:56.200 went the first place we went to the guy who 0:15:56.360 --> 0:16:02.640 was throwing the party. Nicole had told him that we 0:16:02.640 --> 0:16:07.840 were coming. Had when we got there, He's like, hey, Nick, 0:16:07.920 --> 0:16:12.320 nice to meet you. I really appreciate you coming, said 0:16:12.960 --> 0:16:13.960 this is such and such. 0:16:14.240 --> 0:16:18.080 He's gonna be with you tonight. I'm like, huh. He's like, no, 0:16:18.200 --> 0:16:20.040 he's gonna be with you. Make sure you guys are good. 0:16:20.080 --> 0:16:20.800 I'm like, we're good. 0:16:21.360 --> 0:16:26.040 He's like, nah, he's gonna he's gonna be with you tonight. 0:16:26.360 --> 0:16:28.560 He's like, you guys are good, But I'd feel better 0:16:28.600 --> 0:16:28.920 about it. 0:16:28.960 --> 0:16:29.520 Whatever it is. 0:16:32.200 --> 0:16:37.200 It is a rough city, and I don't mean this 0:16:37.360 --> 0:16:41.440 like I'm no pun intended. John is putting a massive 0:16:41.520 --> 0:16:46.240 target on his back. And now let me talk about 0:16:46.280 --> 0:16:52.440 the kind of more nuanced piece of this. Okay, America 0:16:52.520 --> 0:16:54.360 is the most gun loving country in the world. We 0:16:54.400 --> 0:16:57.600 have more guns than people. People are a big person 0:16:57.600 --> 0:16:59.880 in this country. Second man, and second and second man, 0:17:00.440 --> 0:17:02.040 and then a black guy shows up with a gun 0:17:02.080 --> 0:17:06.359 and everybody freaks out. I understand that frustration. Earl, are 0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:09.320 my dear friend, and you know him. Laslow used to say, 0:17:09.359 --> 0:17:12.760 because he's as anti gun as it gets that we 0:17:12.840 --> 0:17:16.480 actually want gun control in this country. We need every 0:17:16.520 --> 0:17:19.000 eighteen to twenty four year old black man and states 0:17:19.000 --> 0:17:23.080 that have it show up at those NRA gun conventions 0:17:23.400 --> 0:17:27.560 and start start publicly buying up the firearms real quick. 0:17:28.080 --> 0:17:31.680 We'll get some gun control, which, by the way, kind 0:17:31.720 --> 0:17:34.159 of happened. Actually, if you look at the assault weapons 0:17:34.160 --> 0:17:36.560 bands and when those things happened, they had a lot 0:17:36.600 --> 0:17:38.480 to do with fear of the black Panthers and the 0:17:38.520 --> 0:17:40.960 eighties and Reagan and all that set that aside. So 0:17:41.119 --> 0:17:44.480 I understand the folks who are tweeting, what did y'all do? 0:17:47.000 --> 0:17:51.080 It's open carry, It's allowed you don't need a license. 0:17:51.640 --> 0:17:57.520 Oh it's a problem in John. I understand the argument, 0:17:58.480 --> 0:18:00.920 but everyone though, well say it again. 0:18:00.880 --> 0:18:03.800 He's he's too big for that. I think that it's 0:18:03.840 --> 0:18:06.000 just got like a lot of kids watching him and stuff. 0:18:06.000 --> 0:18:06.840 It's not a good look. 0:18:07.080 --> 0:18:08.520 Also your own one. 0:18:10.280 --> 0:18:15.400 And even if technically you're correct, he's not breaking any laws. 0:18:15.800 --> 0:18:20.840 And everybody knows that is reckless. And by the way, 0:18:21.560 --> 0:18:24.480 I'm not certain no matter even in states where you 0:18:24.520 --> 0:18:28.399 can open carry typically, and we don't know if he 0:18:28.440 --> 0:18:29.800 was in Colorado or Tennessee. 0:18:29.960 --> 0:18:31.040 We think it was Colorado. 0:18:31.720 --> 0:18:35.240 Typically there are rules about does the establishment serve alcohol? 0:18:35.800 --> 0:18:38.119 Have they decided they're a gun for his zone? You 0:18:38.160 --> 0:18:40.359 know what I mean? People think he was at a 0:18:40.400 --> 0:18:44.320 strip club. I I've never heard of a strip club 0:18:44.320 --> 0:18:46.399 in the country. We're allowed to bring your pistol. I 0:18:46.880 --> 0:18:49.360 think even even in Texas, and Texas got a lot 0:18:49.400 --> 0:18:51.240 of them. It's not like, okay, yeah it's Texas, what 0:18:51.280 --> 0:18:51.720 are you gonna do? 0:18:51.880 --> 0:18:52.160 Okay? 0:18:52.320 --> 0:18:57.399 It is usually pretty significant pat downs metal. But even 0:18:57.720 --> 0:19:02.280 I understand the we freak out when black guys have guns. 0:19:02.680 --> 0:19:06.359 When black guys have guns, the cops freak out that 0:19:06.520 --> 0:19:11.159 nobody the all the Second Amendment. Absolutists never show up to, 0:19:11.680 --> 0:19:14.320 you know, argue for the black guy who was legally 0:19:14.359 --> 0:19:16.760 carrying a gun and the cops killed him. I understand 0:19:16.840 --> 0:19:19.399 all of that, and I understand the apocrisy of it. 0:19:19.600 --> 0:19:24.120 That's a different discussion than what we clearly have a 0:19:24.200 --> 0:19:34.639 pattern of wildly dangerous behavior, wildly dangerous that and here's 0:19:34.720 --> 0:19:41.480 my last point on this. Even John, now, even if 0:19:41.560 --> 0:19:47.080 he turns this around, John must be careful. 0:19:48.400 --> 0:19:49.359 He has. 0:19:50.840 --> 0:19:55.080 Put a huge target on his back. And I don't 0:19:55.080 --> 0:19:57.840 know if Jo's friends or gangsters. I don't know if 0:19:57.880 --> 0:19:59.480 Ja's a gangster. I don't know any of it. 0:20:00.119 --> 0:20:03.000 I do know that in. 0:20:02.880 --> 0:20:11.520 Any city, but particularly cities with real gangsters, sometimes even 0:20:11.560 --> 0:20:16.200 if you have matured, they view you a certain way, 0:20:17.720 --> 0:20:23.400 and that shit is dangerous. It is flatly dangerous. And 0:20:24.600 --> 0:20:30.760 I don't think it's like media hand ringing. And I 0:20:30.800 --> 0:20:33.480 feel like some people have been afraid. 0:20:33.880 --> 0:20:34.280 I don't know. 0:20:34.400 --> 0:20:37.040 I'm very confused by how a lot of media talks 0:20:37.040 --> 0:20:40.600 about a lot of things these days. And maybe there 0:20:40.600 --> 0:20:44.240 are some racial components here that I that I am 0:20:44.320 --> 0:20:49.160 not recognizing fully in why people are afraid to say 0:20:49.200 --> 0:20:52.080 what I think is patently obvious. Maybe I feel like 0:20:52.119 --> 0:20:57.919 I give myself more freedom to speak very openly and 0:20:57.960 --> 0:21:00.200 freely about exactly how I feel about this, because people 0:21:00.200 --> 0:21:02.359 can concuse me a lot of things, but being anti 0:21:02.440 --> 0:21:05.960 black is one that I think I'm pretty well insulated. 0:21:05.400 --> 0:21:07.000 On, so I can just be honest. 0:21:07.080 --> 0:21:18.920 I am worried that this could go really terrible, and 0:21:19.960 --> 0:21:23.760 I would be worried about that if he played in 0:21:23.840 --> 0:21:31.800 any city, but in Memphis, I am it is particularly worrisome. 0:21:32.320 --> 0:21:35.600 So I listen, He's got an amazing and I'm gonna 0:21:35.600 --> 0:21:38.200 say one other thing. There's been a lot of speculation 0:21:38.359 --> 0:21:43.520 about his parents. I don't feel totally comfortable joining in 0:21:43.600 --> 0:21:47.240 that speculation. I know the story. Do you know the 0:21:47.280 --> 0:21:49.560 story of him and Tea from when they were when 0:21:49.560 --> 0:21:54.000 he was little tem Martin his dad, Ye Tem tem 0:21:54.040 --> 0:21:57.960 Martin was a quarterback for Tennessee twenty five years He 0:21:58.359 --> 0:22:01.440 followed Peyton Manning Peyton Manning and win a national championship there. 0:22:01.480 --> 0:22:04.320 T Martin then did but set that aside Team Morant. 0:22:05.119 --> 0:22:10.359 Tim Rant was kind of like a version of Earl 0:22:10.400 --> 0:22:14.359 Woods Tiger's dad or Richard Williams. It was johe was 0:22:14.400 --> 0:22:18.359 like four years old, is like my life is you 0:22:18.880 --> 0:22:22.360 and turning you into an NBA player, and built put 0:22:22.359 --> 0:22:26.159 a court in their backyard and was his trainer, his coach, 0:22:26.640 --> 0:22:32.640 and put fifteen years of his life into John Morant 0:22:33.200 --> 0:22:39.040 becoming Ja Morant, right, and it worked. Yeah, And they 0:22:39.080 --> 0:22:44.560 seem to have an amazing relationship. And so I and 0:22:44.600 --> 0:22:49.360 now Tea, I think understandably maybe and getting I guess 0:22:49.359 --> 0:22:49.800 I am going. 0:22:49.760 --> 0:22:51.000 To engage some of the speculation. 0:22:52.000 --> 0:22:57.640 It would appear kind of feels like we made it. Yeah, 0:22:58.440 --> 0:23:01.280 I you know what I mean. I dedicated my life 0:23:01.960 --> 0:23:06.119 to you becoming this you have. We did it together. 0:23:06.480 --> 0:23:09.600 John him seemed to have a great relationship, but that 0:23:09.800 --> 0:23:15.880 can become tricky if the kid then starts. 0:23:16.840 --> 0:23:18.960 Acting a fool. 0:23:20.280 --> 0:23:25.960 And he's It's also there's weird dynamics when well, his. 0:23:25.960 --> 0:23:28.000 Dad seems to be a little bit more hands off 0:23:28.040 --> 0:23:31.159 than you think that he is given the circumstances that 0:23:31.200 --> 0:23:31.600 you just said. 0:23:31.680 --> 0:23:34.919 But that's what I think because his dad's court sided 0:23:35.040 --> 0:23:38.560 all these games. His dad lives next door to him, 0:23:39.280 --> 0:23:43.600 so he's there. But the question is like, is he 0:23:43.800 --> 0:23:48.240 just did he just become like part of the the click. 0:23:49.480 --> 0:23:51.480 I didn't want to use that word, but yeah, but yeah, 0:23:51.600 --> 0:23:53.440 you know what I mean, Like, it's a weird thing. 0:23:54.280 --> 0:24:00.560 I don't know, but I also know this the his 0:24:00.720 --> 0:24:02.920 mom calling him saying they're giving me a hard time 0:24:02.960 --> 0:24:06.960 at foot Action their finish line, Hey show up ten deep, 0:24:07.080 --> 0:24:08.560 Like I I don't look. 0:24:09.520 --> 0:24:10.360 The whole thing. 0:24:10.280 --> 0:24:14.399 Strikes me as weird and right, well, what's the problem, Like, 0:24:14.520 --> 0:24:17.840 I don't know, it just strikes me as There's a 0:24:17.880 --> 0:24:21.359 lot of and some people have made this point. I 0:24:21.359 --> 0:24:23.800 didn't mean do twenty minutes on John Moriane, I apologize, 0:24:23.840 --> 0:24:27.680 but I think it's an interesting discussion. Yeah, a lot 0:24:27.720 --> 0:24:32.160 of people have made the point, Uh, he's hanging out 0:24:32.160 --> 0:24:37.080 with the wrong people. Some people, I think, I give 0:24:37.160 --> 0:24:39.919 him credit. I think Ryan Rosillo said this, but I 0:24:39.920 --> 0:24:41.120 think other people did too. 0:24:41.600 --> 0:24:45.520 Some people made the point he might be the wrong person. 0:24:47.200 --> 0:24:50.840 And I don't want to maybe Wild Wild said this 0:24:50.920 --> 0:24:53.399 off the air, but I'll I'm gonna quote him on 0:24:53.440 --> 0:24:56.200 the air now on this. He was like, even if 0:24:56.400 --> 0:24:59.320 you are with the wrong people, like if you're in 0:24:59.440 --> 0:25:04.639 Jamran It's group and Brian is a bad guy and 0:25:04.720 --> 0:25:06.520 a dope and always wants to do the wrong stuff, 0:25:06.600 --> 0:25:10.320 and Brian's like, let's go do this and jazz like no, 0:25:10.440 --> 0:25:11.399 I think we should go do this. 0:25:11.920 --> 0:25:13.720 Where's the group going right there? 0:25:13.880 --> 0:25:15.560 You know what I mean? Like the when you are 0:25:15.680 --> 0:25:20.000 the celebrity and the one funding everything, they're following you, right, 0:25:20.960 --> 0:25:25.760 and so I don't I don't know, but this is 0:25:27.320 --> 0:25:29.760 this has already gone left on him and it could 0:25:29.840 --> 0:25:31.960 go really, really way further left. 0:25:31.960 --> 0:25:32.239 All right. 0:25:32.280 --> 0:25:35.679
