Speaker 1: We have an update on Andrew Wiggins. I avoided discussing
Speaker 1: the situation in detail because it's a personal matter and
Speaker 1: I didn't want to get into it. I did a TikTok.
Speaker 1: There's a bunch of rumors about what happened with him
Speaker 1: and his girlfriend. There's a bunch of floating rumors circulating
Speaker 1: that were bullshit. Even Andrew Wiggins's girlfriend was responding to
Speaker 1: my TikTok videos, which was wild, saying that these were
Speaker 1: one hundred percent falls. I'm not even gonna mention what
Speaker 1: the rumors are anyway. Now we kind of have an
Speaker 1: honest update on what's happening with Wiggins. He's now back
Speaker 1: with the team.
Speaker 2: We even got a boom. This is the bomb. This
Speaker 2: is the sound of the woes bomb on it.
Speaker 1: Golden State Warriors All Star forward Andrew Wiggins is nearing
Speaker 1: a return to the team and is expecting to be
Speaker 1: back this week. Wiggins is missed twenty one games attending
Speaker 1: to a family member matter.
Speaker 2: Excuse me.
Speaker 1: Huge boost for the defending champions and the sixth seed
Speaker 1: in the West. This was followed by the first bits
Speaker 1: of real information about why Wiggins has missed the past
Speaker 1: twenty five games.
Speaker 2: What was the personal matter.
Speaker 1: According to Shams, who always gives us more information than WOAJ,
Speaker 1: Andrew Wiggins's father is currently dealing with a serious medical condition.
Speaker 1: And Andrew Wiggins plans to attend Warriors Thunder on Tuesday.
Speaker 1: The reason for wiggins leave of absence since mid February
Speaker 1: is his father, Mitchell Wiggins, has been dealing with a
Speaker 1: serious medical condition situation. Sources close to the situation say
Speaker 1: it's rumored that Andrew Wiggins will be back before the
Speaker 1: play in tournament, which the Warriors inevitably will be in.
Speaker 1: That's a kind of a tune up for Andrew Wiggins,
Speaker 1: actually a plan in game. Maybe it's actually better for
Speaker 1: them and the Dubs need him more. Our Dubs need him,
Speaker 1: probably more than they ever had before.
Speaker 2: Let's be honest.
Speaker 1: Big prayers up for Wiggs, his pop, his entire family.
Speaker 1: It is great to have you back.
Speaker 2: Let's move on. We got to talk about this.
Speaker 1: Women's Final four championship game really quickly because the game
Speaker 1: was incredible. My mom was texting me every other second.
Speaker 1: She had so many thoughts about Angel Reese and Alexis
Speaker 1: Morris and Caitlin Clark. She was just breaking down their game,
Speaker 1: talking about how incredible the post play was. The game,
Speaker 1: let's be honest, wasn't nearly as fun probably as it
Speaker 1: should have been, because of the refs. The refs fucked
Speaker 1: everything up. They put Kaitlyn Clark in a foul trouble.
Speaker 1: They put Angel recent foul trouble. They put Alectionis Morris
Speaker 1: into four O foul trouble. They put Sisano Monica Sizano.
Speaker 2: In foul trouble.
Speaker 1: It was probably the worst ref game I've ever seen
Speaker 1: in my life. And it was trending on Twitter. Of course,
Speaker 1: it's anytime you have, you know, trending the refs on Twitter,
Speaker 1: that's never good, right, But really, it was the aftermath
Speaker 1: of it that I want to talk about for a
Speaker 1: few minutes, specifically the reaction to Angel Reese and her
Speaker 1: trash talking. I love Angel Rees I do. I did
Speaker 1: my fair share of trash talking on the court. I
Speaker 1: did my fair share of trash talking when the game
Speaker 1: was over on the court. Nothing would stop me from
Speaker 1: coming to someone who was anointed.
Speaker 2: As the future of college basketball if.
Speaker 1: I slayed her and I got to tell her, yo,
Speaker 1: you forgot about the Tigers.
Speaker 2: I love how many eyeballs were on the game.
Speaker 1: I think five point five million for the Iowa South
Speaker 1: Carolina semifinal alone, which is twice as many viewers as
Speaker 1: any NBA game on ESPN this year.
Speaker 2: But here's the thing.
Speaker 1: I understand that Angel Reese was quote unquote taunting Caitlin Clark.
Speaker 2: Makes sense. She came right up into her face, did
Speaker 2: the ring, did can't see me? John Cena.
Speaker 1: But let's be real, if the tables were turned and
Speaker 1: Kitlyn Clark did that to Angel Reese's face, same way,
Speaker 1: would people have called Caitlyn Clark a classless piece of shit.
Speaker 2: The answer is, think about it in your head.
Speaker 1: Do not immediately say yes, because if you immediately say yes.
Speaker 2: You're lying. You're lying.
Speaker 1: People who are willing to go on the record and
Speaker 1: tweet out that any twenty year old kid in the
Speaker 1: height of their most important moment of their basketball career
Speaker 1: is a piece of shit needs to look at themselves
Speaker 1: in the mirror and say I am out of pocket.
Speaker 1: There is a lot going on there. There is a
Speaker 1: racial undertone to the entire women's basketball tournament. Could not
Speaker 1: be more whier blacker matchup than Iowa versus Louisiana State.
Speaker 1: Look at the rosters, and I like the Angel Rees said,
Speaker 1: I am unapologetically myself. I do not care if you
Speaker 1: think that I am hood. I do not care if
Speaker 1: you think that I am not the typical player. I
Speaker 1: am gonna do me and they need to put some
Speaker 1: respect on my name.
Speaker 2: So that's really it.
Speaker 1: I'm excited that people are interested in women's basketball next year.
Speaker 1: Let's stop saying anything out of pocket about kids.
Speaker 2: Let's just not.
Speaker 1: Maybe you think that it was a classless move, but
Speaker 1: don't call her personally classless. Maybe you think it was
Speaker 1: shitty in how she did it, don't call her a
Speaker 1: piece of shit.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. Don't do that. Let's concentrate
Speaker 2: on what's good.
Speaker 1: Caitlyn Clark, Angel Reese, Hayley van Lyth, Zia Cook. By
Speaker 1: the way, Caitlyn Clark and Angel Reese both juniors, who
Speaker 1: We're gonna get some more of this, baby. We are
Speaker 1: gonna get a little Film Night Invitational November twenty fifth,
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three, in Portland, Oregon. Another and I bet
Speaker 1: they played one another. First game of the PKI women's
Speaker 1: basketball is blowing up.
Speaker 2: I love it.
Speaker 1: I'm here for it, but don't be a bad person
Speaker 1: when you're commenting on the game.
