1
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:05,200
Speaker 1: Welcome back to More to It, to show that takes

2
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:07,720
Speaker 1: a deep dive into the biggest stories in sports, entertainment,

3
00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 1: and culture. Start with headline news, and then we journey

4
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:14,080
Speaker 1: into those deeper conversations, always finding those life lessons that

5
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:15,960
Speaker 1: are presented in every single story.

6
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 2: I'm your host, Marcel Sway, Dad.

7
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:22,319
Speaker 1: Dude, y'all can call me pinky. No, I ain't going

8
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:24,560
Speaker 1: that far, but y'all know me. I don't use the word,

9
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 1: but it seems like people at barstools sports use the word.

10
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:31,160
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that later. But I'm feeling good in

11
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 1: my pinky yop. I think I look chrispy today. I

12
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 1: can't lie. I might can go out there in them

13
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,840
Speaker 1: streets and make my wife a little jealous today. Look

14
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 1: at this crispy but feeling great.

15
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 3: Man.

16
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:45,240
Speaker 1: Love is in the air.

17
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 2: Because my wife is in the air.

18
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 1: She's on her way back finally from her trip to Europe.

19
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 2: So look forward to her coming back to boy A

20
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 2: brother needs some help. Man.

21
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: But you know, we start off every show, what's up

22
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: with that dude? And that ain't with me. That's what's

23
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 1: up with her? She coming back to the family. Leave

24
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 1: me here, Oh empty handed? It got to take care

25
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 1: of the whole damn team. But you know me, my

26
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 1: damn good coach. I got this thing under control. But

27
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 1: yesterday after the show, I went to my social club

28
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 1: and I was writing it down. I was like, let

29
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 1: me tell him, No, don't tell them where it is.

30
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: Because one, I don't want everybody trying to join my

31
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 1: damn social club because it is a private space where

32
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 1: I actually get to just breathe and just be regular

33
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:34,320
Speaker 1: and nothing. No distractions, no bs, no thoughts, no craziness,

34
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: no gangsters. Like, it's just cool to be up in there, right,

35
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 1: So I don't want all y'all flooding it. But more importantly,

36
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 1: I shouldn't just blow up the spot.

37
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 2: It's not on me. But I was walking in.

38
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: I was just gonna have lunch by myself for an

39
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 1: hour before I picked up the kids and do some work. Obviously,

40
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: so I was going to the bathroom. On the way

41
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: to the bathroom got intercepted. So in that moment, you're like, damn,

42
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: I'm at a social club that's supposed to be private,

43
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: and here we go networking up in here, which I

44
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: do enjoy it. The same time, there's a time and

45
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: place for everything. Well, This was a good time actually,

46
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: because I had nothing really on the calendar. Two dudes

47
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 1: who went to more house I find out, were just

48
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 1: sitting there breaking bread. Hey, I seen you here a

49
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 1: couple of times. Want to introduce myself.

50
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 2: I was like, Oh, what's up.

51
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: Let me go to the bathroom right now. When I

52
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 1: come back, we're gonna chop it up right. They bought

53
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 1: me lunch.

54
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 2: We talked.

55
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 1: Man, we had so much in common in terms of experiences,

56
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:30,239
Speaker 1: two well decorated, well off dudes. One of them lived

57
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: in the actual hotel itself right there, which is crazy,

58
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:34,919
Speaker 1: but it was just good to talk to them, and

59
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 1: them being from DC Detroit and me from LA having

60
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 1: similar paths even though we did them obviously in different locales.

61
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 2: So that was cool.

62
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 1: Broke bread with those guys, had a great time. One

63
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: of the dudes actually made a ton of money. Guess

64
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:54,119
Speaker 1: what he did. He invested in some defense contracts. Soon

65
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: as I heard that, I was like, oh my god,

66
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: he in a whole different stratosphere called himself the luckiest

67
00:02:59,200 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: man alive.

68
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 2: I agree.

69
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: Now. After that, took my daughter to gymnastics, actually both

70
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: of my little girls, because my three year old now

71
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 1: is old enough to at least follow the rules. But

72
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: she had to leave early because she pottied on herself.

73
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 1: So that's why they got a certain age minimum. Because

74
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 1: she went in there and just leaking all in the gymnastics,

75
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: pitting on them girls, just flipping in her wet peepee phone.

76
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 2: It was just stupid.

77
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: So I'm laughing, but walking out, a car pulls up

78
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: on me, liking boys in the hood, red Honda style,

79
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: but it was a white Tesla, so I ain't feel

80
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: that damn scared. But it was a white Tesla rolls

81
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,639
Speaker 1: up to me, smoked out, tinted windows right here. I'm

82
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: holding my inny bitties walking to the alley. Next thing

83
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: I know, I'm like, dog nah for real. Window goes

84
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: down and it's two dudes in there, and then the

85
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 1: back window goes down. It's a little girl from the

86
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 1: gymnastis class and she's like hi, and it her and

87
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: my kids just loving each other. Turns out it was

88
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: Mookie Bets, and I was like, oh, it's the first

89
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: time I ever got a chance.

90
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 2: To meet Mooky Bets.

91
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: It was Mookie Bets and Howard, who I assume is

92
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: his roll dog, and their little in our class as well,

93
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: So that was pretty cool to just break bread with him.

94
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: We got a lot of connections and we finally said,

95
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: all right, we're gonna link up. It's actually a neighbor

96
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: of mine too. Didn't even know that. And after that

97
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: man you know, came back to the crib. It was

98
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: really my last night of freedom because the wife, like

99
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: I said, is coming in for that last mile of

100
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,039
Speaker 1: that marathon. She's gonna try and come and act like

101
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: she been running this whole damn thing and then break

102
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 1: the finish line with me. But let's talk about somebody

103
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,919
Speaker 1: who may not cross that finish line. All this smile

104
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 1: is so good because those Los Angeles Lakers lost yesterday. No, no, no,

105
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 1: they ain't lose. They got blowed What did Emmy Smith say?

106
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 1: Blew out, blown out, blood out. They got beat down

107
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 1: in Game two by the Golden State Warriors. Twenty seven

108
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 1: point win for those Warriors. So y'all know me, I

109
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 1: am mister authentic. They say, right, all ourselves, keep it real,

110
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 1: except when I talk about aout Lakers. All my clippers, right,

111
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 1: And I said my Lakers because they represent my but

112
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 1: those fakers.

113
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:03,479
Speaker 2: I love it when I get.

114
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: A moment to troll them because guess what, I will

115
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 1: laugh at my pain, but something makes me feel even

116
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 1: better than that, laughing at their pain and laughing at

117
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: your paying you, Faker fans. So we saw the adjustment

118
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 1: that happened. You saw Golden State go to that small lineup.

119
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 1: Whoa Kevin Looney, All right, big dog, chill out for

120
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 1: a second. Let's just see what Jamichael Green could do.

121
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: And boy, jam went out there and had a jam session.

122
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: He balled out more points than Anthony Davis. So we

123
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,280
Speaker 1: saw the Warriors getting into transition more and they were

124
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 1: pushing the pace. Lakers look a little tired. They gave

125
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: up forty point quarters in the second and third quarter

126
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:43,160
Speaker 1: and they haven't done that what the entire season, certainly

127
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 1: the playoffs, and all of a sudden they gave it

128
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,359
Speaker 1: up back to back forty point quarters.

129
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 2: So we saw more.

130
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:54,279
Speaker 1: Spacing on the floor, the three point shooting, the ball movement,

131
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 1: Golden State playing Golden State basketball. Now they had to

132
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 1: come out with that sense of desperation, that sense of intensity,

133
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 1: because guess what, you go down two to the Lakers.

134
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: Lebron has never lost this series where he's been up

135
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,359
Speaker 1: to oh in the playoffs, so that was obviously playing

136
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 1: heavy on the minds and hearts of the Golden State Warriors.

137
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 2: Draymond played as the big man.

138
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: We back to that death lineup again most of the night,

139
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: and he was assigned to Anthony Davis and did a

140
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 1: good job on why Kevin Looney when Anthony Davis was

141
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 1: on him eight for twelve? Anthony Davis was on Kevin

142
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:32,480
Speaker 1: Looney against Draymond four to eight. All right, a little

143
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,919
Speaker 1: better right in terms of, oh, bring those shots selections

144
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: down getting to them on that catch right there in

145
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 1: the block, It looked good. Defense was the key and

146
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 1: they limited the free throws. But that three point ball.

147
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,159
Speaker 1: Let's talk about this gold State twenty one of forty

148
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 1: two from three, the Lakers went ten to thirty four.

149
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 2: That ain't gonna get it.

150
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:54,600
Speaker 1: The Warriors have made forty two three pointers. Listen to

151
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: this fun fact right here so far this series, twenty

152
00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:58,599
Speaker 1: six more than the Lakers.

153
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 2: This is the most over a.

154
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: Two game span and Warriors postseason history, and tied for

155
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 1: the second most over two game span and NBA playoff history.

156
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 2: Did you just hear me?

157
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 1: The Golden State Warriors just from the three point line

158
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 1: performed better in these two games than they ever have

159
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: in their playoff history. Yeah, we're talking about the Splash Brothers, y'all.

160
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: We talking about four championships. We're talking about that dynasty,

161
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 1: and they are now playing at a higher level. So look,

162
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 1: all I'm sitting here with is envy and jealousy because

163
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: I'm mad at the Lakers, because I know the Clippers

164
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 1: are better than the Lakers. They beat them eleven times

165
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: in a row. But the Lakers are still in the playoffs.

166
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: And now they're in the playoffs. We'll see how much

167
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 1: longer than in the playoffs because Golden State is now awake.

168
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 1: We'll see what happens in Game three in La that

169
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: I was invited to go to by my assistant coach

170
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 1: who is one of the owners of the Lakers, and

171
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 1: my boy Jesse Buss. But we got a school gallon

172
00:07:57,920 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: to go to. I got to dress up in my

173
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: disc attire. Well, anything to stay away from those Lakers

174
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: and hopefully, I hate to.

175
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 2: Say this, they lose.

176
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: Thanking you for your viewership on Brings TV and your

177
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: membership while this world on you too, man, sad state

178
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: of affairs. Right here, let's get into this story. Attempted

179
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 1: murder in Maryland. As I said before, the suspects three teenagers.

180
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 1: The crime scene was a school bus, all right. Cops

181
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 1: and Maryland are looking for three teenagers who jumped on

182
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:34,599
Speaker 1: a school bus and confronted a student who they attempted

183
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: to kill. The incident took place on Monday a Courting

184
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:41,839
Speaker 1: to the police report, which claims the three teams hopped

185
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 1: on the bus, which one of them pointy a gun

186
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 1: at a fourteen year rold before pulling the trigger three times,

187
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 1: but the gun was jammed. They pulled the trigger three times,

188
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 1: according to a witness, but for some reason, by the

189
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 1: grace of God, the gun didn't go off and bullets

190
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 1: flew out of the gun. Martin Diggs, who is head

191
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:09,199
Speaker 1: of the bus drivers union, said okay, since one of

192
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 1: the hood of teams failed to shoot the student, he

193
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 1: decided to physically beat him instead, and then rushed off

194
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,199
Speaker 1: the bus with the other two mass boys. As they

195
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 1: fled the scene, fourteen year old who attends Prince Georgia's

196
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 1: County Alternative Middle School, is believed to have questioned him

197
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: on whether he knew who could have been responsible for

198
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:29,680
Speaker 1: the crime.

199
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 2: But so far, law enforcement.

200
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: Officers are still piecing together enough evidence to make any arrest.

201
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: Dix has since called for more security on the school

202
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 1: buses falling the attack, saying they're terrified. One driver is

203
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 1: so terrified doesn't want to come back to work, doesn't

204
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 1: even want to leave his house. Police are still trying

205
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 1: to determine the motive for the attempt to kill him,

206
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:56,839
Speaker 1: and the investigation remains ongoing. So much to unpack right here,

207
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:00,839
Speaker 1: Let's just start here. As you guys know, I am

208
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 1: a partner in an organization called Our Goal, and it's

209
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 1: an alliance for responsible gun ownership, and our efforts are

210
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:13,959
Speaker 1: to change the conversation and hopefully change the outcomes around

211
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 1: gun culture. Right, Let's just start from the obvious that

212
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 1: guns are in America, and guns are easily accessible, not

213
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 1: always easily legally, but certainly with the black market. And

214
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 1: as you can see what fourteen year old kids guns

215
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 1: are accessible. We have to change that conversation, We have

216
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 1: to change that reality.

217
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 2: Right.

218
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: We have to meet in the middle because there are

219
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:42,680
Speaker 1: two factions that seem very extreme. Therefore not enough is

220
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 1: being done about this issue. One sets get rid of

221
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 1: all guns, right, ban the guns. But then the people

222
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 1: who oppose that obviously say well, then all the bad

223
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 1: guys are going to just have the gun because they're

224
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 1: not going to follow the law. So you ban the

225
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 1: guns legally, what about the illegal? What about the black market?

226
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,119
Speaker 2: Right? Okay, now let's talk about.

227
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 1: The other extreme, but those have oh man, you gotta

228
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 1: just say not bad guns, but you know, loose guns

229
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 1: and make people responsible Second Amendment.

230
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 2: Right.

231
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 1: And then the people who fight that and say, look, one,

232
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 1: we don't need all these guns. Two, we don't need

233
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 1: these assault weapons, and three why do you need that

234
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 1: access to guns?

235
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 2: Because we know the result.

236
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: Places around the world that has stricter access to guns

237
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 1: have fewer mass shootings, just that simple, right. But there

238
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 1: is a conversation in the middle that could bring those

239
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: two groups together that com mitigate moments like this, because

240
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:40,680
Speaker 1: you're never gonna get rid of never gonna erase gun

241
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 1: violence to a zero sum, but we can certainly start

242
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 1: to control these numbers and bring it back down. What

243
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:53,439
Speaker 1: responsible conversation about responsible gun ownership. What we're seeing here

244
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 1: is just the reckless behavior of adults that is now

245
00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 1: meeting all these broken kids that are not new Because

246
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: I could give you an example on my will of

247
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: when I was growing up and had to deal with

248
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:10,199
Speaker 1: something horrific, just like this. Okay, So I'm thirteen years

249
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 1: old and I'm on the school bus. And as I'm

250
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: on this bus, I'm on the way to school. Just

251
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 1: in my mind, just a little nervousness because everyone always

252
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 1: talks about some of the issues that happened on this

253
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: bus line, right, So I'm like, all right, I'm on

254
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 1: the way to school. Nothing happened this time. On the

255
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 1: way back, though it did go down, all right. So

256
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 1: I'm on the bus and I used to like to

257
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: sit right behind the bus driver. Why because he was

258
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 1: like the only adult that I knew I could trust,

259
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 1: the only adult that was representing the bus company. So

260
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 1: I thought he had some authority. I thought if anything

261
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 1: ever went down, he can jump in, right, I thought that.

262
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 1: So I used to always sit in the front. And

263
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 1: I guess maybe I got scoped, maybe I got scouted.

264
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:01,200
Speaker 1: But one time sitting in the front, and then I

265
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 1: look around and there are guys surrounding me. So now

266
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 1: I'm like, dang, what should I do? And I you know,

267
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 1: you can't trip up, you can't run out. You know,

268
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:12,839
Speaker 1: you don't know what these guys are doing. So I'm

269
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,679
Speaker 1: just sitting there terrified, and they just let me go.

270
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 1: So then another time you fast forward, I'm already like whoo,

271
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:21,319
Speaker 1: but I still got to take the bus to get

272
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 1: to school and get back. Now, this one time, for

273
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:28,079
Speaker 1: whatever reason, it seemed a little emptier. I was already

274
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: terrified sitting by by the bus driver who didn't do

275
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 1: a damn thing the last time I was there. So

276
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 1: I was like, well, let me sit in the back,

277
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 1: since it's no safer sitting in the front. That could

278
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: have been a fatal mistake. I'm sitting there. Another group

279
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 1: of guys this time come up. One sits in front

280
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 1: of me, one sits on the other side, and one

281
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 1: cysts right next to me. And then he points out

282
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 1: of his coat and he's pointing at me. He's like,

283
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 1: run that hat, little homie.

284
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:56,440
Speaker 2: And I was like, oh God.

285
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 1: And so I'm terrified because I want to do every thing.

286
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 1: He says, as long as I survived. But then I

287
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 1: was like doing everything. He says, what is he gonna

288
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 1: ask me? And mine's still gonna survive this moment, No

289
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 1: good answers, no great response except hey, Simon says, And

290
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:14,679
Speaker 1: I took the hat off, and I handed to him.

291
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 2: He said, don't have me that shit. He said, throw

292
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 2: it out the window.

293
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 1: And I'm like wow, So I throw the head out

294
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: the window, and I'm sitting there and then they're just

295
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 1: sitting there and really just feeling like they're feeling joyful

296
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: almost They're just enjoying the fact that I'm terrified, Like

297
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 1: they ain't even doing anything. I think it was because

298
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 1: there are other people on the bus, so they ain't

299
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 1: want to cast too much attention. They just like the

300
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 1: fact that they just had them a little hostage right here,

301
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 1: and they just sitting there. And then finally, for whatever reason,

302
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 1: I just finally broke the silence. I said, can I

303
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 1: get off please? And they were like, yeah, you could

304
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 1: get off. And I literally took seven steps to get

305
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 1: to the back exit to get off the bus, and

306
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 1: it felt like I walked like the green mouse, seriously

307
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 1: just terrified and thinking that I'm gonna get shot in

308
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 1: the back on the way out, thinking they're gonna run

309
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 1: off the bus after me. Something something, Nothing happened. Let

310
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 1: me tell you, guys, from that moment, when I was thirteen,

311
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 1: and every single time I ever had to get on

312
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 1: public transportation or school bus, I always think of that moment,

313
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 1: the PTSD, of that moment. Why do I bring that up?

314
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 1: Because we read these reports, we watch these videos. You'll

315
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 1: see me talk about this, and then how much are

316
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 1: we really changing behavior and moving the needle? And that's

317
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 1: why I'm a partner in ourgo and that's why we

318
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 1: have to get more invested in this conversation and not

319
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 1: yelling at the other side, but really trying to respectfully

320
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 1: come to an agreement so we can have safer schools,

321
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 1: safer streets, safer theaters, safer churches, safer school buses. Right

322
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 1: we can't let this situation continue to grow out of

323
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 1: control because we know that right now, with mental health

324
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 1: on the rise and the issues that have come from that,

325
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 1: and then the access fourteen year olds having guns and

326
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 1: not only having guns ready to pull the trigger, that

327
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 1: we have to address this in a much more mature way.

328
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 1: Looking forward to your support on this because I grew

329
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 1: up unfortunately around those type of circumstances.

330
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 2: But it's not just where you're from now.

331
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 1: No matter where you're at, this is a situation that

332
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 1: people have to deal with. Ooh, somebody, I don't know

333
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 1: if I want to be a member of his team

334
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 1: right now is Antonio Brown, who they're calling a nightmare

335
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 1: owner of the Albany Empire. Antonio Brown became owner of

336
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 1: the National Arena Football League's Albany Empire in March, right,

337
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 1: and it said he's already since March.

338
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 2: I was like, man, ain't already running the organization into

339
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 2: the ground, under the ground, right six feet deep.

340
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 1: They are saying, So two former members of the team,

341
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 1: members of the team, here we go, head coach Damon

342
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 1: Ware and quarterback Sam Castro Nova. Damn that last name.

343
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,159
Speaker 1: I know what you're gonna fall back on. That sounds

344
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:14,160
Speaker 1: like you connected who shared their hellish experience, Where said

345
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:18,200
Speaker 1: the biggest problem was getting everyone paid. Getting paid. Yeah,

346
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 1: I think that is the biggest problem in terms of employment.

347
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 1: If you don't get paid, you're like dog, I'm putting

348
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 1: in this work and not getting paid. He said his

349
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 1: conversations with Antonio about this would get so bad, so contested,

350
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 1: so heated that AV would text them violent threats. Gotta

351
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,639
Speaker 1: believe him, right because Munsey said he texted me violent threats.

352
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 1: I think he got receipts right. So AB all bad

353
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:49,639
Speaker 1: so far? Where said beyond that, AB's ego got in

354
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,199
Speaker 1: the way of improving the squad, and he was a

355
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 1: nightmare to deal with.

356
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 2: Quote.

357
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 1: We built a wonderful organization over three years and he

358
00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 1: came in and killed it all.

359
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 2: God Lee.

360
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 1: Players are supposed to get paid the week after each game,

361
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 1: but after two games they were never paid. The players

362
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 1: contemplating sitting out. They about to protests in the NFL.

363
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 1: They're about to go on stripe. Not the League one

364
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 1: team because their owner is not.

365
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 2: Paying the bills.

366
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:21,879
Speaker 1: The same owner that didn't pay his child support. We

367
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:25,160
Speaker 1: had to report about a month ago. Hey, b come on, dog.

368
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:29,400
Speaker 1: Captains decided to confront team officials on their bus ride back.

369
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:31,120
Speaker 2: So you imagine that scenario.

370
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:34,360
Speaker 1: You own the team and you're one of the teammates,

371
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 1: but you're not one of the captains, so you probably

372
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 1: don't feel like you got that flex that power. So

373
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:41,680
Speaker 1: you go to your authority, which is your captain, who

374
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 1: has to not go to the ultimate authority, the team owner.

375
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 1: He has to go to the team officials, who still

376
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:51,159
Speaker 1: have a boss called ab the team owner.

377
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 2: Man which way is up.

378
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 1: When they got to the hotel, they discovered that room

379
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 1: keys did not work, and the hotel workers told them

380
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 1: it was your owners doing.

381
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,640
Speaker 2: So they were about to strike, but he locking them out.

382
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:09,440
Speaker 1: He literally, literally y'all locking them out the hotel room.

383
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 2: I ain't never played for a team like this. Oh.

384
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 1: They had to fight to get their belongings out of

385
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 1: the rooms. They had to get housekeeping to help them.

386
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 1: Had you ever been there, I've been there before. You

387
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 1: walk out your room, you locking the door. Oh damn,

388
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 1: I've left something in there, my kid in there. And

389
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 1: you see the housekeeper. Ladies say excuse me, excuse me.

390
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 1: She's like yes, and You're like, can you let me

391
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 1: my room? And she looking at you like, bruh, I

392
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:34,639
Speaker 1: don't know if that showroom and you're like no, no,

393
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:36,119
Speaker 1: I could prove it. Soon as you let me in.

394
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 1: I go get my wallet and my ID, it's all

395
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 1: in there. She's like, bruh, I don't know if that

396
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 1: show room. And I've been there before, but crazy enough security.

397
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 1: Y'all need to watch the housekeepers. They always let you in.

398
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,160
Speaker 1: I mean, they at least let me in, and I sure,

399
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:51,399
Speaker 1: I struggle, look like I should be getting let in

400
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 1: everybody room, all right. So after that, several key players

401
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 1: said they're fed up with the team and I'm looking

402
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 1: forward to restarting their careers elsewhere.

403
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:01,640
Speaker 2: You think the.

404
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:04,159
Speaker 1: Empire team was back to back champions in the NAL,

405
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,160
Speaker 1: but this season they're off to a one and two

406
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:12,440
Speaker 1: start under AB's ownership. What the hell is going on?

407
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 1: What Antonio Brown? I know what y'all say, and I

408
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:20,199
Speaker 1: know everyone says since they hit by Vonte's perfect, it

409
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 1: ain't been perfect for Antonio. I mean, I hear that.

410
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,440
Speaker 1: I'm starting to hear that louder and louder. But what's

411
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:30,120
Speaker 1: going on with Antonio? What's interesting is he's just off

412
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,360
Speaker 1: the rails right now. I don't like to go into

413
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 1: the mental health department because that's not my department. I

414
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 1: don't have that level of certification. And frankly, I look

415
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,399
Speaker 1: at mental health like I do physical health, which means

416
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:45,879
Speaker 1: are you in mental health shape? Just like in physical health,

417
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 1: we could walk around all day saying somebody, Oh, man,

418
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 1: that person's fat, that person's skinny.

419
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 2: Oh he yoked up?

420
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 1: She in shape? Right, pretty obvious, right, But you also

421
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:56,919
Speaker 1: know when you see somebody in shape, you think the

422
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:00,199
Speaker 1: same things. They work out a lot, they probably eat

423
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 1: right for sure, or they aren't own something that help them, right,

424
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 1: But you know that they're investing in their physical health

425
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 1: and the results are on display.

426
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,640
Speaker 2: In mental health, the results are on display as well.

427
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 1: For Antonio man, what is he doing to invest in

428
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:19,479
Speaker 1: his mental health? No, beyond speculation, just the fact that

429
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 1: the proof is in the pudding, and right now it

430
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 1: seems like nobody in Albany wants to eat that pudding.

431
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 2: Come on, ab do better, my dog yuck.

432
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 1: Thanking you for your viewership on Brings TV and your

433
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:36,359
Speaker 1: membership to Walley's World on YouTube. All right, big story here,

434
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,639
Speaker 1: and it's from my world, you know, that sports media world.

435
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 1: And it's a lot to unwrap here, So let's just

436
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:46,159
Speaker 1: take it line by line and get through this, all right.

437
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 1: Dave Portnoyd worries firing popular hosts Ben mince over the

438
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 1: use of the in word, the word that I don't

439
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:57,160
Speaker 1: even use as a black man. Maybe a death blow

440
00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 1: for Barstool Sports as parent company Penn Entertainment stock price

441
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 1: falls after a high volume of backlash due to the axing.

442
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:10,880
Speaker 1: Oh y'all catching this that was a crazy headline took

443
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:14,359
Speaker 1: me both places. Okay, so someone uses the N word

444
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:19,120
Speaker 1: from Barstool Sports. All right, that's already controversial enough, especially

445
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:22,120
Speaker 1: when you know who Ben Mince is, because then you realize,

446
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 1: oh yeah, in this culture of hypocrisy with the N word,

447
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 1: we all know only black people are supposed to use

448
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:33,719
Speaker 1: the N word, supposedly, even though we know a lot

449
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 1: of Latinos use it and others.

450
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 2: So we'll get to all that later.

451
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:41,639
Speaker 1: But Mints best known as this lovable sports enthusiasts with

452
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 1: that southern charm. There's some people that love him and

453
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:47,639
Speaker 1: some people who don't. But he's a very skilled poker

454
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:52,920
Speaker 1: player and he has made some impressive wins in that world. Yeah,

455
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 1: that show Wake Up Minzi on Monday mornings. And on

456
00:22:56,680 --> 00:23:01,640
Speaker 1: Monday we saw him rapping to bone Thugs and Harmony

457
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 1: right first of the month, and.

458
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,399
Speaker 2: Then the IN word came out, you know.

459
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,400
Speaker 1: And it's funny because when this happens, and I told

460
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 1: you guys the story when I was at the jay

461
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,880
Speaker 1: Z concert and the little kid walked up me, little

462
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 1: white kid, twelve years old. One of the autographs, one

463
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:18,879
Speaker 1: of the picture. All right, we about to do it.

464
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 1: Then Tom Ford comes on, little white dude right there

465
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 1: by me, big black dude, clap for what and he

466
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:28,440
Speaker 1: let the N word go. Now I'm looking like are

467
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:31,119
Speaker 1: you serious? And obviously I'm not gonna do anything to

468
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 1: the little twelve year old because one eighty thousand other

469
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 1: people were screaming it. And as I looked around, let

470
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:42,959
Speaker 1: me just say, I was in the minority in that venue.

471
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,440
Speaker 1: So I was like, that's what the rappers have allowed,

472
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:46,880
Speaker 1: that's what the culture has allowed.

473
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:48,120
Speaker 2: That's where we are.

474
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:52,160
Speaker 1: Okay, let's keep going through this, cause there's the video

475
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 1: of this, which obviously once you got video, asked ray Rice,

476
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 1: everything changes, not just the fact that you said it,

477
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 1: not just the fact that one overheard it. Oh, we

478
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 1: all can't consume it. So let's check out the video

479
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 1: of MINSI using the N word.

480
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:10,439
Speaker 4: Get some yayo, double up, nigga, what you need, what

481
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 4: you need, get some boom.

482
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:17,119
Speaker 1: So then he tweets out this morning, I made an

483
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 1: unforgivable mistake slipping on air while reading a song lyric.

484
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 1: I meant no harm and have never felt worse about anything.

485
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,680
Speaker 1: I apologize for my actions. I am truly sorry and

486
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:34,200
Speaker 1: ashamed of myself. Okay, that apology is not accepted by me,

487
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:38,920
Speaker 1: because like, some things are just avoidable, right, And it's

488
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:44,560
Speaker 1: interesting how everyone has slipped up before, but let's just

489
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,159
Speaker 1: say your slip ups also suggest.

490
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 2: Your comfort level at times.

491
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:51,880
Speaker 1: Right, there are certain things that I just would never

492
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 1: do in front of my mom no matter what. There

493
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 1: were certain things I would never do in front of

494
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,239
Speaker 1: my dad, no matter what. And they all have different codes, right,

495
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:01,119
Speaker 1: Certain things I would never do it work right, Certain

496
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 1: things I would never do around my grandma.

497
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 2: You guys get the point.

498
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 1: And there's certain things that even when you're rapping a

499
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: rap song, that you know where the traps are, right,

500
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 1: You know where the landmines are and rap if you're white,

501
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 1: if you're not black, whoever, the N word probably is

502
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 1: gonna be in it, and just look out for it,

503
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:23,639
Speaker 1: especially if you're rapping a song that you've heard before, right, Like,

504
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,719
Speaker 1: know where the traps are. So the whole slipping up stuff,

505
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 1: I just don't buy that. I know people do that

506
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,439
Speaker 1: for the public apology. Hey, I did my part and

507
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 1: he may be contrite, But how contrite are you when

508
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,439
Speaker 1: you step in and knowing that you took that step

509
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:38,680
Speaker 1: in it? Ah?

510
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 2: I'm not on that side with him, Okay.

511
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 1: So then two days later, on a third Portanoid tweeted

512
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 1: a video he called it an emergency press conference, and

513
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:54,159
Speaker 1: Ben mince has left the building announcing the firing. Okay,

514
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 1: this video is like five and a half minutes, and

515
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:58,199
Speaker 1: I thought I was gonna be able to cut it

516
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 1: up and edit it and say, oh, okay, let's just

517
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,119
Speaker 1: get these parts in these excerpts. Nah, y'all got to

518
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 1: hear this whole video. Check it out.

519
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 5: Okay, emergency press conference time. Uh, bad news. This sucks.

520
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 5: So today we have to fire Ben Mintz. The artists

521
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 5: formerly knows Ben at Mintz.

522
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:18,639
Speaker 3: It stems from his wake up with Minci ironically finally

523
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 3: got it to do him live and he was rapping

524
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 3: lyrics to a rap song, reading the words off his phone,

525
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:29,119
Speaker 3: and and he wrapped a racial slur.

526
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 5: He turned white as a ghost. You could tell.

527
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:35,200
Speaker 3: Instantly he's like, oh my god, what I do. It's

528
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 3: like a Ron Burgundy moment. He read it, he knew

529
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 3: he fucked up. He's been super apologetic, like in shambles basically, and.

530
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 5: Any I think anybody watched the clip, it was like,

531
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:48,399
Speaker 5: there's no way he meant to do that.

532
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:50,479
Speaker 3: He's just not the brightest bull to ever come down

533
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:53,400
Speaker 3: the pipe, and he just screwed up, and he knew

534
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 3: he screwed up and there was no hatred behind him,

535
00:26:56,400 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 3: no nothing, still awful, but not my wildest dreams that

536
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 3: I think I'd be sitting here being like we had

537
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 3: to fire Ben Mince.

538
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:09,200
Speaker 5: Penn felt differently. Penn felt differently.

539
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:14,359
Speaker 3: And I'm stunned by it, and I've been fighting tooth

540
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:18,160
Speaker 3: and nail, as has Erica, as has Dan to keep

541
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:21,360
Speaker 3: Ben and say this is the wrong decision. But Penn

542
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:25,120
Speaker 3: operates in a world that we don't operate in it.

543
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 3: They are highly regulated by the government. They're issued licenses

544
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 3: for gambling that just as easily as they're issued, they.

545
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 5: Can be pulled back.

546
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 3: For anybody who has followed any of the states and

547
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:41,880
Speaker 3: Penn trying to get legalized and things like that, one

548
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 3: thing's clear. A lot of people hate my guts, They

549
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 3: fucking hate me, They hate barstool, and they look for

550
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 3: any lever, any excuse, anything to cause problems for us

551
00:27:54,720 --> 00:28:01,679
Speaker 3: and pull the licenses. Penn is convince and they've been

552
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,879
Speaker 3: very clear Penn since they took over, it's a zero.

553
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 5: Tolerance policy moving forward. You can't do stuff like this.

554
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:12,399
Speaker 3: And really we haven't had an incident like this since

555
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 3: they've taken over, and they believe there's a legitimate chance

556
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 3: lots of the states would pull their licenses because of this.

557
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 3: Depends a billion dollar company, multi billion dollar company without

558
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:33,880
Speaker 3: their licenses, they are a zero dollar company, investors, families, employees,

559
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 3: thousands of people. They feel is their job to protect

560
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 3: all of this, and the only answer is to fire

561
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 3: Ben Mins.

562
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 5: I still disagree with it, and maybe I'm naive.

563
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 3: I'm like, there is just no way anybody can look

564
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 3: at that clip and think the punishment.

565
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 5: Fits the crime.

566
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 3: It makes my skin crawl thinking a guy would lose

567
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 3: their job on an innocent mistake.

568
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 5: Yes, horrible, but clearly no intent.

569
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 3: Clearly is in shambles about it, instantly in shambles.

570
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:12,719
Speaker 5: It just makes my skin. It's everything I've stood against

571
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 5: for twenty years.

572
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 3: And I told Penn and I told Jago, you risk

573
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 3: alienating you're fighting to save, you know, the barstool.

574
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:26,479
Speaker 5: Brand to use. There may be nothing left to protect

575
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 5: if you go through this. But again, Pen's a multi

576
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 5: billion dollar company.

577
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 3: We're a small part of it, and I think the

578
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 3: whole thing was at risk. Bottomlize this. I hate the decision.

579
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 3: I don't agree with the decision, but it's not my

580
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 3: decision to make. And when we sold Penn I mean

581
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:51,720
Speaker 3: Barstool to Pen, we knew what came with it. We

582
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 3: knew the guard lines, we knew you couldn't do what

583
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 3: Ben Mince did. We knew it was a regulated industry,

584
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 3: and we knew if somebody went beyond the guardrails after

585
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:06,960
Speaker 3: they purchased us, these decisions on how to deal with

586
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 3: it would be Pen decisions.

587
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 5: And it's not just Jay. And by the way, I

588
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 5: love Jay, I trust Jay.

589
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 3: I think Jay and I think about the world very similarly.

590
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 3: A lot of the same views on the world. So

591
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 3: I don't think he's doing his spite or because he

592
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 3: has some perverted or any I think he's doing what

593
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 3: he has to do, and the board is doing what

594
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 3: they have to do to protect PEN entertainment.

595
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 5: I still fucking.

596
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 3: Disagree with it, but that's their decisions to make.

597
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 2: It's their world.

598
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 5: The regulator is dealing with the states, not my world.

599
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 5: My world's gambling.

600
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 3: I told him, I go, if there's me and state

601
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 3: wanted to pull the license because of this, I put

602
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 3: in a blast one hundredfold, and I'd be like, this

603
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 3: is what we're dealing with in our crowded rally we

604
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 3: become stronger, he said. You know what that'll do, They'll

605
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 3: just pull the license everywhere potentially.

606
00:30:56,360 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 5: I hate the decision. I hate, hate, hate, try to.

607
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 3: Convince it to be otherwise as much as I could.

608
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 3: In the end, they know the risks in the downsides,

609
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 3: and they still felt they had to make this decision,

610
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 3: which is a bad decision for everybody involved, but from.

611
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 5: Penn's perspective, better than risking.

612
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 3: The entire livelihood of the company.

613
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 5: On a fuck up from Ben Mince. It sucks. It

614
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 5: makes no sense to me, but.

615
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 3: The world in a lot of respects and how crazy

616
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 3: certain factions are. And if you don't think Emily Steel

617
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 3: is already frothing at the mouth to right about this

618
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:42,960
Speaker 3: and send it to the regulators and be like, what

619
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 3: are you gonna do about it? You're not paying attention.

620
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 5: So it is what it is.

621
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 3: And hopefully I never have to make a press conference

622
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 3: like this ever again.

623
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 5: And it really, really really sucks.

624
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 1: That's all you got, Okay, So that video, Portnoy said.

625
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 2: Mince was highly apologetic. We caught it. He said, Pens a.

626
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 1: Multi billion dollar company, and he doesn't have the final

627
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 1: saying this. He said, he hated the decision. He fought

628
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 1: hard to keep men sie, et cetera, et cetera. He

629
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 1: talked about how he sold his company February twenty twenty

630
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:26,479
Speaker 1: three four combined total of five hundred and fifty one million.

631
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 2: So Penn has full control of B. Stewl. All right,

632
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 2: But that ain't where it's gonna end.

633
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 1: That's where we start, right, because then the community jumps

634
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 1: in and everybody's like, yo, all of the stoolies are

635
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 1: not happy.

636
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 2: Right.

637
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 1: They call him Portanoi a sellout. Okay, all right, the

638
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:50,280
Speaker 1: white dudes are sellouts. Now, let's listen to this. They

639
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:52,560
Speaker 1: call him a sellout for selling the company.

640
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 2: That's right.

641
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 1: And the stock price of Pen Entertainment plungs, all right.

642
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 1: He went from thirty dollars a share to twenty six

643
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 1: dollars a shit, so yo, things are not looking pretty.

644
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 1: So now all of a sudden, it's starting to come

645
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:08,960
Speaker 1: to Dave in different ways. Because he thought that, Okay,

646
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:12,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna address this, Mincey's gonna address this, and this

647
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:15,240
Speaker 1: probably blow over, right, And then even though you don't

648
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 1: have full say and ownership of it anymore, you still

649
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:20,479
Speaker 1: got heavy Sway and pool. So he try to go

650
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:22,760
Speaker 1: to Pen Entertainment behind the scenes, try to work it out.

651
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 2: Not working out.

652
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:27,160
Speaker 1: Now it's not working out behind the scenes. Pressure's on

653
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 1: to get rid of MINSI right, and then on top

654
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 1: of that, all of his support.

655
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 2: Is starting to be split.

656
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 1: It's starting to be splintered between those who are like, yeah,

657
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 1: we get it, it's big business, and those are like, dog,

658
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 1: you are sell out for selling your business and forgetting

659
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 1: your audience, forgetting why.

660
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 2: You are ball school sports.

661
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 1: So all of that starting to get to Dave, and

662
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 1: Dave had to go out there with this animated post

663
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 1: of a video on Twitter and response check that out.

664
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:58,480
Speaker 5: So I get every Tom Dick and Harry says this

665
00:33:58,640 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 5: MISSI thing.

666
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 1: Be like presents out.

667
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 2: You're so out, hey, pres you sold out?

668
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 6: Well as the kids say, no toy, no fucking doy,

669
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 6: I sold out.

670
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 5: You're just figuring that out.

671
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:11,400
Speaker 6: I started a company and I fucking sold at the

672
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:14,440
Speaker 6: fuck out. Made hundreds of millions, made millions for everybody,

673
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 6: grinded a milion.

674
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:17,319
Speaker 5: Yeah, we sold the fuck out.

675
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:19,799
Speaker 6: And that's what you do when you're an entrepreneur. You

676
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:22,319
Speaker 6: start this little company, you dream one day you sell

677
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 6: the fuck out. So no toy still means this decision sucks.

678
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:28,880
Speaker 6: I hate it makes me want to puke. But guess what,

679
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:31,919
Speaker 6: when I sold out a couple of words, a couple

680
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:34,879
Speaker 6: of things, is very clear you say these things, those

681
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:36,239
Speaker 6: decisions are no longer mind.

682
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:37,239
Speaker 5: I can't protect you.

683
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 6: You know why, because I sold out no fucking toy.

684
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 1: All right, So the message is to everybody calling me

685
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:47,399
Speaker 1: a sellout? What did I tell y'all?

686
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 2: The two rules of social media are.

687
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 1: The first rule is to never respond to a negative comment.

688
00:34:56,800 --> 00:35:00,960
Speaker 1: Tell you every single time, and I don't. I have before,

689
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 1: and that's why I have.

690
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 2: It as a rule. Now, I don't.

691
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:06,000
Speaker 1: If you say something negative about me, brouh. I read it,

692
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:08,759
Speaker 1: but I ain't gonna give it more energy. Okay, I'll

693
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:11,279
Speaker 1: take it to heart. I'll take your criticism all of that,

694
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:13,080
Speaker 1: but you're not gonna get me in a tug of

695
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:16,080
Speaker 1: war and the rope is poison. I am not going there.

696
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:18,920
Speaker 1: I don't need the negativity. And the second one is

697
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:25,239
Speaker 1: never clarify yourself never, cause that's just grabbing the invisible

698
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 1: rope that actually has poison on it. And you thought

699
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 1: that was a positive. Oh no, let me just go

700
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 1: out there and make sure everyone knows where I'm really

701
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 1: coming from. And then now who that rope comes to

702
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:37,319
Speaker 1: life and now you're grabbing the negativity again and you're

703
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:40,840
Speaker 1: trapped getting hung by that negativity. The things that stood

704
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:43,760
Speaker 1: out from that video that was kind of like alarming

705
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:46,600
Speaker 1: is the whole no doy stuff like no doy Like

706
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 1: now he's trying to give in to it and say,

707
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:52,520
Speaker 1: what y'all didn't know that this is what a company does,

708
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 1: and this is what we do. We cave into the capitalism.

709
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:58,000
Speaker 1: But people are not questioning capitalism, and it's kind of

710
00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:00,280
Speaker 1: weak for him to fall back on that in this vievideo.

711
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:03,840
Speaker 1: In this moment, we ain't questioning capitalism, We're questioning your character.

712
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:06,440
Speaker 1: Don't try and hide from that. So that was interesting,

713
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:10,160
Speaker 1: just what you do when you're an entrepreneur. Not all entrepreneurs,

714
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:14,239
Speaker 1: not all all right. So then someone tweets out a

715
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 1: video of Dave doing the MINSI, which was crazy enough

716
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:22,640
Speaker 1: because obviously Dave has a different level of significance in

717
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:26,840
Speaker 1: barstool owner than Dave than being Minci. But at the

718
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:30,799
Speaker 1: same time, check this video out video out of him.

719
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 2: This is like a smoking gun.

720
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:34,480
Speaker 1: Video of him doing the same.

721
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:41,239
Speaker 4: Damn thing all my niggas up, watch you to do,

722
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 4: give it all my niggas living it up, watch you.

723
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 2: Okay. So he was singing song lyrics and word in.

724
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 1: It didn't seem like he looked too uncomfortable to me,

725
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:58,719
Speaker 1: didn't seem like he had any issues with it. Okay,

726
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:00,840
Speaker 1: here's my take, because I had to get all the

727
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:03,400
Speaker 1: beats out, especially when it's sensitive topics, topics that we

728
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 1: know a lot of people are gonna be paying attention to.

729
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:08,880
Speaker 2: I like to always get that foundation out there first.

730
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:09,560
Speaker 2: All right.

731
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:13,360
Speaker 1: The first thing is he's forgotten his audience, and he

732
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:17,320
Speaker 1: has not forgotten them in terms of still thinking about

733
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 1: his audience.

734
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:19,360
Speaker 2: Because that's why Dave's like.

735
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:24,600
Speaker 1: Yo, barstool, actually firing MINSI is gonna be looked out

736
00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:27,800
Speaker 1: as a sellout move, which is gonna make our audience

737
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:31,360
Speaker 1: lash out. But he forgot about his audience when he

738
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:34,720
Speaker 1: sold the company, when he gave up all his rights,

739
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:38,839
Speaker 1: and he also knew that he was gonna be part

740
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:40,680
Speaker 1: of a regulated industry.

741
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:41,160
Speaker 2: Right.

742
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:43,880
Speaker 1: So it's okay to get your money boo boo. But

743
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 1: the thing is when you get your money, know what

744
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:49,680
Speaker 1: your purchased and know what they just bought right, and

745
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:52,879
Speaker 1: when they bought it, when they bought your authenticity, when

746
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:55,960
Speaker 1: they bought your strength, they bought your power. You can't

747
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 1: cry about it now. You can't play both sides of

748
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:02,640
Speaker 1: that situation. Contract is more than just dollars, more than

749
00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 1: just words on a piece of paper. You know the

750
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:08,680
Speaker 1: spirit of it as well. You know those executives, and

751
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:10,960
Speaker 1: even if their heart's in the right place, you know

752
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 1: the actions they have to take. He also let people

753
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 1: kind of know how the sausage is made in the

754
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 1: terms of when you talk about having a company that

755
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:24,919
Speaker 1: is acquired, what does it really look like? And people

756
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:27,040
Speaker 1: don't want to know how the sausage is made. People

757
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 1: don't really want to see that barstools sports authentic. Right,

758
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:34,919
Speaker 1: middle finger to the establishment. Power to the people has

759
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:38,360
Speaker 1: now turned into power to the conglomerates, right, power to

760
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:39,840
Speaker 1: the mass media.

761
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:40,400
Speaker 2: Because that's what it is.

762
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:43,480
Speaker 1: What are their six major entities of media in this world,

763
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:46,839
Speaker 1: and the rest are just subsidiaries of it. And then

764
00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:49,520
Speaker 1: if you know what that means in real terms and

765
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:54,440
Speaker 1: layman's terms, that means there are very few people controlling

766
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:58,719
Speaker 1: the messaging that's getting to the masses, very few, and

767
00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:03,920
Speaker 1: their sensibilities tend to be the same, right, very liberal,

768
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:10,839
Speaker 1: are very empathetic, even if they're coss with something that

769
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:14,160
Speaker 1: is different. Right, so they can say we care about everybody.

770
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:17,920
Speaker 1: That's what they say, even though it's capitalism really driving

771
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:21,080
Speaker 1: that force, and they really are trying to take advantage

772
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:26,120
Speaker 1: of situations to get money. That's what capitalism is. Somebody

773
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:28,879
Speaker 1: has to win in these conversations. Someone has to win

774
00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 1: in these endeavors, all right. So I thought it was

775
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:33,080
Speaker 1: kind of weak to fall back on the capitalism. And

776
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:35,799
Speaker 1: that's what entrepreneurs do, not all because I know a

777
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:38,480
Speaker 1: lot of people that have sold companies that have exited,

778
00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 1: and some of them stay with the company and work

779
00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:42,720
Speaker 1: in the company, some of them stay on the board,

780
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:45,840
Speaker 1: some of them stay in power. You can play it anyway.

781
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:48,760
Speaker 1: It's just gonna come at a cost. An opportunity costs

782
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:51,960
Speaker 1: and an acquisition costs. So not a fan of that.

783
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:56,560
Speaker 1: They built their brand off of defiance and authenticity, and

784
00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:59,280
Speaker 1: then they sold their brand just saying hey, we understand

785
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:02,120
Speaker 1: you're gonna regulate all of that. And me in that position,

786
00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:05,239
Speaker 1: I'm not saying he's wrong, I'm just saying, own that.

787
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:07,240
Speaker 2: Position, I would have sold my company.

788
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:09,960
Speaker 1: I don't know what he had in projections and what

789
00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 1: he wanted to do ultimately, But for five hundred and

790
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:15,319
Speaker 1: fifty one million, yeah, you can have never shut Up, right,

791
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:17,279
Speaker 1: And if you take never shut Up, guess what you're

792
00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:20,520
Speaker 1: not buying, Marcellus Whalley. Your buying never shut Up. You

793
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:24,080
Speaker 1: bought Barstool Sports, but you're not gonna buy my authenticity

794
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:27,600
Speaker 1: if I'm Dave. But that's a tough situation to play

795
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:31,959
Speaker 1: both sides. So it's interesting that we're in a world

796
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 1: where he's like, look, I disagree with this decision. I

797
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:40,160
Speaker 1: don't think MENSI did the worst thing, or he's remorseful

798
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:43,120
Speaker 1: he did bad, But at the same time he's contried,

799
00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 1: let's move on from it. We're in a different world,

800
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 1: and Dave knows it. We're in the world where Kyrie

801
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:53,560
Speaker 1: Irving doesn't use a racial slur, just repost an image

802
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:57,200
Speaker 1: from a movie on Amazon and it's called anti semitic

803
00:40:57,360 --> 00:41:01,680
Speaker 1: and loses his Nike deal plus right. So by those standards,

804
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:05,320
Speaker 1: Dave knows that he's fighting the uphill battle that sooner

805
00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:08,000
Speaker 1: or later he's gonna lose, and it's gonna be more

806
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:10,399
Speaker 1: of a loss than just MINSI. It's gonna be more

807
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:13,959
Speaker 1: losses if he continues this fight. You know, it would

808
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:15,880
Speaker 1: have protected them in this moment. It's so interesting in

809
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:22,319
Speaker 1: play diversity on this executive level for Barstool or for

810
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:26,160
Speaker 1: Pen Entertainment, the diversity would have kind of protected them.

811
00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:28,040
Speaker 2: But let's just be real about Barstool.

812
00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:31,880
Speaker 1: There was always that conversation that that company.

813
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:34,000
Speaker 2: Was racial, right racy like ah.

814
00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:38,799
Speaker 1: People always question were they really leaning into independence and

815
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:43,440
Speaker 1: freedom or where there's something else in terms of their attributes.

816
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:45,560
Speaker 2: That was always a conversation, right.

817
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:50,840
Speaker 1: But now you can't have that and have this. The

818
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:54,319
Speaker 1: perception cannot now turn the reality because we got a

819
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:56,360
Speaker 1: video one of the guys using the in word and

820
00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:59,400
Speaker 1: you're gonna keep them employed. Hold on, he uses the

821
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:03,040
Speaker 1: in word and he still works for Barstool that has

822
00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:08,879
Speaker 1: this rumored reputation of ben racy. Yeah, Penn Entertainment saw

823
00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:12,400
Speaker 1: through that one and said, look, we can't have perception

824
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:16,440
Speaker 1: become reality. We can't have rumor become real. Right, So

825
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:19,799
Speaker 1: in this situation, obviously the sacrificial lamb is gonna be

826
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:22,440
Speaker 1: minci and using that slur it should be.

827
00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:23,359
Speaker 2: Let's just be real.

828
00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:25,480
Speaker 1: But the stir of this is not the fact that

829
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:28,440
Speaker 1: he used the N word and he was fired. The

830
00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:32,160
Speaker 1: stir is how they tried to clamor around him, or

831
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:35,000
Speaker 1: at least Dave did, try to keep him employed through

832
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:39,880
Speaker 1: the slip up. Through the slip up, I don't know

833
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:42,439
Speaker 1: if it's a slip up. Now he could have used

834
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:44,520
Speaker 1: in word because he's like, yo, black people use it.

835
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:45,920
Speaker 2: And this is where MISSI gets caught.

836
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:49,920
Speaker 1: He's like, yo, I'm literally quoting somebody who uses that word,

837
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:53,320
Speaker 1: and good luck buying that one, and good luck selling

838
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:55,640
Speaker 1: that one if you're out there in this world. So

839
00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:58,239
Speaker 1: the only other thing about this issue that I thought

840
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:01,959
Speaker 1: was interesting was this is why in part I don't

841
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:05,560
Speaker 1: use the N word. It's just too it's too impossible,

842
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:09,760
Speaker 1: not even too difficult, too impossible to explain the usage

843
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:13,359
Speaker 1: of the word in media in this world right now, right,

844
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:17,480
Speaker 1: it's a hypocritical word in the sense of black people

845
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:20,440
Speaker 1: can use it, right, the insulted, because the word was

846
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:24,120
Speaker 1: initially in America used to insult black people. The insult

847
00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:27,040
Speaker 1: it can use it, but not the one who's the

848
00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:32,120
Speaker 1: insult or, right, all right, So we're saying that punks,

849
00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:37,040
Speaker 1: actual punks can use the word punk, right, like fools

850
00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:40,080
Speaker 1: are the only ones who should say fools, right, because

851
00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:42,439
Speaker 1: it's the one who the insult. Tea is the only

852
00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:44,719
Speaker 1: one who has the power to use that word. This

853
00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:46,840
Speaker 1: doesn't make a lot of sense to me in the culture.

854
00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:52,359
Speaker 1: And what's worse is you see none black people using it.

855
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:55,640
Speaker 1: You see the word used everywhere, you see MENSI using it,

856
00:43:55,840 --> 00:44:00,560
Speaker 1: and the comfort level continues to grow outside of the

857
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:05,000
Speaker 1: protected borders of those who should use the word. I

858
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:07,759
Speaker 1: am having all this conversation so we can have this

859
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:11,640
Speaker 1: conversation and discuss it, because it seems like with the hypocrisy,

860
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:15,719
Speaker 1: the contradiction, the pander, in the fact that all I

861
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:18,680
Speaker 1: sold my company in which you sold your audience out

862
00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:22,400
Speaker 1: to as well, is now all coming to a head.

863
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:25,640
Speaker 1: There's no right answers in this situation. But whatever your

864
00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:29,280
Speaker 1: answer is, stick to it, stick to your guns.

865
00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:30,840
Speaker 2: And own that response.

866
00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:33,239
Speaker 1: All right, y'all, y'all know how we finish every show

867
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:38,480
Speaker 1: with the wily ism. There are no traffic jams along

868
00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:41,120
Speaker 1: the extra mile. Say that again, damn it. If you

869
00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:43,840
Speaker 1: go one hundred and ten percent or you do extra

870
00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:46,360
Speaker 1: work after practice, chesss are.

871
00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:48,200
Speaker 2: You gonna be by yourself?

872
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:50,759
Speaker 1: Chesses are is gonna be a few lone rangers there,

873
00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:54,160
Speaker 1: but there's no traffic jam and doing more than is expected,

874
00:44:54,239 --> 00:44:56,600
Speaker 1: more than it is asked for you, right, that's how

875
00:44:56,640 --> 00:44:59,399
Speaker 1: the game goes. It's crazy because I tell my son

876
00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:01,080
Speaker 1: all the time, he like does.

877
00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:02,480
Speaker 2: His practice, he practices hard.

878
00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:04,359
Speaker 1: And he's like, all right, I'm good, and I'm like, yeah,

879
00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:05,959
Speaker 1: you're gonna be good. But if you want to be great,

880
00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:09,880
Speaker 1: going to do the extra mile, right, And the extra

881
00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:12,840
Speaker 1: mile is not a mile a day. It's just this

882
00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:16,680
Speaker 1: much more than what you were asked to do, and

883
00:45:16,680 --> 00:45:19,480
Speaker 1: it just builds up a psyche, a work habit, and

884
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:23,120
Speaker 1: it also separates you, right because now a little, a little,

885
00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:26,719
Speaker 1: a little, it's like compound interest. It just compounds to

886
00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:29,680
Speaker 1: making you go from good to great. So always remember

887
00:45:29,719 --> 00:45:32,280
Speaker 1: that in all your endeavors, there are no traffic jams

888
00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:33,399
Speaker 1: along the extra mile.

889
00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:34,680
Speaker 2: All right, y'all, that's gonna do it.

890
