Speaker 1: them on your books. You'll be all right. Just you're
Speaker 1: taking Just listen, go there, take your time. You ain't
Speaker 1: gonna get a lot, you know what I'm saying. That's
Speaker 1: how I know you're not built for this. You're all
Speaker 1: here pretending you're not built for this, Like you know what. Listen, now, okay,
Speaker 1: we're finally getting into the show. But you know why,
Speaker 1: you know why I'm not outside like that, Why I'm
Speaker 1: not outside clapping in flamers, talking, talking crazy outside of
Speaker 1: my neighborhood because I'm not built for that, you know saying,
Speaker 1: I know I'm not. You feel me, I'm like, no,
Speaker 1: I will, I'll defend myself. I mean, if you come,
Speaker 1: if you're coming at me, that's different. But like you
Speaker 1: don't see me on the corner, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: Like you, But here's the thing. He own neighbor, he
Speaker 1: bluddy of viols and then like you ain't built for this.
Speaker 1: Somebody where was y'all? Oh geez, that was like you're
Speaker 1: not built for this, like gonna stay home, you know?
Speaker 1: But yeah, no, he looked whatever. So I'm like, so,
Speaker 1: I'm so, I'm like, so, I'm like you, what do
Speaker 1: you do? But politics the Holly Sophie, we're gonna talk
Speaker 1: basketball because, as you know, Laker days, she got her
Speaker 1: T shirt on. I got the back to back yes
Speaker 1: T shirt on. Oh man, yes, this is so doube.
Speaker 1: It's a long time coming man, and y'all know where
Speaker 1: we're going with us as soon as we get into it. Okay, So, Sophie,
Speaker 1: Lakers or not not even just Lakers, let's just talk
Speaker 1: basketball i Q. Period. The question is always whether it
Speaker 1: was like uh Jordan's or any any Larry Bird, any
Speaker 1: team that had a superstar. The question was always like,
Speaker 1: can the superstar by themselves take a team to the
Speaker 1: championship or actually win a ring, and most of us
Speaker 1: believe most of us, I'm I'm weighing the thing. But
Speaker 1: like it wasn't until Scotty Scottie Pippen got like got
Speaker 1: his legs up under them till they started like winning
Speaker 1: real rings. You know what I'm saying. The idea is like,
Speaker 1: you can't just have a point. You have to have
Speaker 1: the point and the post. You gotta have you gotta
Speaker 1: have a center in the game. You gotta have somebody
Speaker 1: else on the team to carry this. Do you do
Speaker 1: you hold to that? To that theory, it's it's a
Speaker 1: team sport. But there definitely are caveats to that, is
Speaker 1: what I would say, Like, definitely a team sport. Definitely
Speaker 1: caveats to that, your honest being one of them in
Speaker 1: the last season, he did take that. I mean caveat caveats,
Speaker 1: lots of injuries, shorter season, less off time, But your
Speaker 1: honest did it. Rannest did do it. Can a team
Speaker 1: win if the point in the center are are in disagreement,
Speaker 1: if they can't figure out whose team it is, can
Speaker 1: a team win? Usually no, they cannot win. Usually I
Speaker 1: gotta give that caveat. Though usually there are caveats, But
Speaker 1: I would say, yes, you It's it's remarkably difficult if
Speaker 1: if Magic and Kareem are not on the same page,
Speaker 1: if they don't understand whose team this is. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Uh, you know if you would like
Speaker 1: you pick pick any generation of basketball, you have to
Speaker 1: ask whose team this is? And there has to be
Speaker 1: an understanding. I think between the point in the post.
Speaker 1: So we're talking like Michael Scottie Shot Kobe type situations,
Speaker 1: who is exactly what we're talking about? Whose team is this?
Speaker 1: And Scotty And it's funny seeing him being old and
Speaker 1: bitter now, like, man, this man really really really wants
Speaker 1: to sell his book, and like I get it, but
Speaker 1: also like shut up, Scotty, you sound so mean and
Speaker 1: better so me right now? Man, you think we don't
Speaker 1: look listen, it's cemented you. You're fighting over dry cement
Speaker 1: right now. Bro, it's the legacy is done. We all
Speaker 1: love we all love you, We all you. You had
Speaker 1: a shoe, you carried this team as best as you can,
Speaker 1: got your you got your bag from the Trailblazers, you
Speaker 1: got your bag, you got your rings. I don't understand
Speaker 1: what we're fighting over. This was Jordan's team. I don't
Speaker 1: what are you? I don't understand what we're talking about. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean so like back to Shaq, Kobe, back to
Speaker 1: Michael and Scotty, I have the same I have the
Speaker 1: same stance on those two, even though completely different situations. Yes,
Speaker 1: Scotty and Shaq both did the same motherfucking ship. That
Speaker 1: makes me think to my core and nobody can argue
Speaker 1: with me. Michael, Steve, Kobe, Steam, they both did the
Speaker 1: same thing. You know what I'm talking about? I think
Speaker 1: I do. So it's the company time ship is what
Speaker 1: I'm talking about. I'm talking about the I got injured
Speaker 1: and instead of rehabbing during the summer, getting my getting
Speaker 1: my ship together so that I'm there for my team
Speaker 1: when it matters, I'm gonna enjoy my summer and I'm
Speaker 1: gonna get fixed my injury. Shack quote. I got injured
Speaker 1: on company time, so I'm gonna I'm gonna do my
Speaker 1: rehab on company time. And so you weren't there for
Speaker 1: your guys. You wasn't in the gym. He wasn't in
Speaker 1: the gym exactly. My argument is the same in this sense.
Speaker 1: My thing is like, Okay, you know whose team this
Speaker 1: is when one of y'all leave, Like who's replaceable? That's
Speaker 1: the question to me. And I'm like, Kobe went on
Speaker 1: to win a bunch more rings after Shock left, But
Speaker 1: for a long time there was a question whose team
Speaker 1: is this? Now? I feel like if you was on
Speaker 1: the ground, like you and me in the city, that
Speaker 1: wasn't a question. No, No, really wasn't. And I mean
Speaker 1: like that goes back to like to like work work
Speaker 1: ethic and everything and like and like yeah, they're like, well, Kobe,
Speaker 1: you would have benefited from going to more of those
Speaker 1: team dinners whatever. It's like yeah, but he was in
Speaker 1: the gym. Where were you? Facts, We're where were you?
Speaker 1: Where were you? Yes? So I'm like what what So
Speaker 1: I'm like what what what? What? So? I'm like what
Speaker 1: what what? What? So? I'm like what are you doing? Yeah?
Speaker 1: But like you ask any like real l a person,
Speaker 1: anybody who who who not even anybody who's like an
Speaker 1: actual like Hooper person, Like it's you know, it's Kobe's team.
Speaker 1: And until until everyone got that, when poll came, he
Speaker 1: got he understood. Man, everybody else. I love Parakasol and
Speaker 1: you know what, Powakasol still still still a teammate man,
Speaker 1: like I'm so impressed with I'm so impressed with and
Speaker 1: being there for Vanessa and the girls, like Parkasol, good dude,
Speaker 1: teammate through and through and through. But but but knew
Speaker 1: his role whose team it was, and that's why they
Speaker 1: work so well together because he knew it was Kobe
Speaker 1: seems so we're back. We're back to this now. Now,
Speaker 1: Why are we talking about this problem? Why are we
Speaker 1: talking about this is the best part of this convo.
Speaker 1: If you don't know whose team this is. If y'all,
Speaker 1: if y'all fighting over whose team it is, y'all gonna lose.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, It's not it's not gonna
Speaker 1: work out now, y'all jockey in for a position. We're
Speaker 1: gonna figure at some point, we're gonna figure out who
Speaker 1: the prophet is. We're gonna know whose team it is eventually.
Speaker 1: But during that during that time, y'are fighting over y'all
Speaker 1: take it else? Right, I would like to introduce you
Speaker 1: to the Modern Democratic Party. Oh man, we're supposed to
Speaker 1: have a big three right now, am I right? We're
Speaker 1: supposed to have the Big three. We're supposed to have
Speaker 1: the we're supposed to have, uh, the White House, Congress
Speaker 1: and Senate. We're supposed to have the Big Three. We're
Speaker 1: supposed to have the A, D, Lebron and Russ And
Speaker 1: we know that's not working right now. It ain't working
Speaker 1: because whose team is it? Whose team is it? Y'all
Speaker 1: don't get it, man, y'all gonna keep taking these elves
Speaker 1: because you can't decide, Like I feel like it's a bat.
Speaker 1: It's the battle of the Joe's. It's literally the battle
Speaker 1: of the Joe's right now, and the battle of the jokes. Yeah, man,
Speaker 1: And I mean, if you don't know who we're talking about,
Speaker 1: we're talking about buying in the mansion, which is yes,
Speaker 1: and it's and what's crazy is like I just picture
Speaker 1: this this boy Joe mansion like being like, listen, I
Speaker 1: got I got this fossil fuel money. I'm good down here,
Speaker 1: y'all gonna do what the hell I said you're gonna do.
Speaker 1: Picture him like holding and counting money. That's how I
Speaker 1: picture him, like a night instead of counting sheep peace,
Speaker 1: counting money, because like that that's who he is. He
Speaker 1: looking I'm telling you man, he looking at he looking
Speaker 1: at his investors, like, don't worry about it. He's like,
Speaker 1: I got this. Don't worry guys. This is my party,
Speaker 1: this is my team. Don't from the bench. That's what's crazy.
Speaker 1: He doing it from the bench, Like how you control
Speaker 1: the team from the bitch, Like, oh man, it's so true, yo.
Speaker 1: And the reason we notice is the budget reconciliation thing. Right,
Speaker 1: so so we got we got, you know, and like
Speaker 1: the last couple of days and like right now is
Speaker 1: November tenth, just for just two thousand twenty one, just
Speaker 1: for reference for people coming back to it. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's like this Build Back Better bill does not look
Speaker 1: like what it was proposed to be whatsoever. And a
Speaker 1: lot and and a lot of that is because of
Speaker 1: Joe Manchin Man. And it's like it's like, is this
Speaker 1: bill doesn't have me of the original things that that
Speaker 1: that that Biden promised it would have. Really I had
Speaker 1: a couple but like it's crazy because I thought to myself, Okay,
Speaker 1: so I'm thinking Joe moves much more kind of like mobster,
Speaker 1: kind of pimpish to where it's like I'm just gonna
Speaker 1: be nice, like but we're gonna, we're gonna, we're gonna
Speaker 1: do what I want to do. He's like I'm in charge,
Speaker 1: but also like I'll let you have your moment. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Like I'm not gonna yell like I don't you know,
Speaker 1: I don't move like that. Like we're not yelling. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. I'm not gonna be in here
Speaker 1: be a bully. I'm not a bull in the china shop.
Speaker 1: But but we're gonna do what I say we're gonna do.
Speaker 1: That's what That's the way I pictured Joe, right, but
Speaker 1: like like that's not it at all. That's not what's
Speaker 1: happening at all. And I thought he was like my
Speaker 1: thought was what everybody else was was thinking, was that
Speaker 1: this progressive wing was going to pull him that way. No,
Speaker 1: he didn't get pulled to any type of way. He
Speaker 1: just back and watched. He just stepped back and let
Speaker 1: the thing. And I'm looking at I'm looking at what's happening,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh, this is it's Joe Manson's team. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean, like even what happened in the last couple
Speaker 1: of days with them passing being like all right, the
Speaker 1: progressive being like all right, we'll pass your infrastructure bill,
Speaker 1: which is needed, and like definitely not as good as
Speaker 1: it should be. But like America, but America, let me
Speaker 1: say that one more time. But like I just I
Speaker 1: just like like I really want to take uh Cargoggs
Speaker 1: woman gypel and be like listen, like I know they
Speaker 1: there's a written a group whatever. Yeah, I'm not sure
Speaker 1: it's gonna happen. No, no, And it's like when somebody,
Speaker 1: when you run into somebody that's like uh uh the
Speaker 1: type of the type of unreasonable that Joe Mansion is.
Speaker 1: You're put in this position to where you're like, Okay,
Speaker 1: do I match his unreasonable nous? Do? I? Like? I mean,
Speaker 1: like that's what I was expecting Joseph are Biden to
Speaker 1: do exactly. Can give his full name right here, like
Speaker 1: I was expecting him. But it just seems like he's
Speaker 1: sitting back. I mean, like back to basketball. This really
Speaker 1: reminds me. All right, So Lakers got one win, right,
Speaker 1: they won, and then Shock shows up out training camp
Speaker 1: super out of shape. How are you going to win
Speaker 1: the next one? It kind of feels like we're in
Speaker 1: that out of shape training camp situation training camp. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and it's like, okay, it's ten seconds left, this fool
Speaker 1: Shock demand in the ball. You have to be like
Speaker 1: if you code, you're like, here's the thing, bro, I'm
Speaker 1: not giving you the ball. It's not literally Joe Biden
Speaker 1: has to be like and like, listeners, I am not
Speaker 1: comparing Kobe Bryant to Joe Biden. Please don't please, are
Speaker 1: not coming my mentions. This is not happening. Uh, this
Speaker 1: will never happened. Uh. This is morally Uh. But I'm like,
Speaker 1: very fair, but like you have to do. You have
Speaker 1: to be like, this man is injured. He cannot play.
Speaker 1: Stand up. If you're a boss, be a boss and
Speaker 1: just be like, look, Homi, I don't care what the
Speaker 1: funk you say. I don't care what bag you've got.
Speaker 1: This is not what we're doing. Be mad at me.
Speaker 1: You ain't the damn president. I am like, I don't
Speaker 1: where is that? Where is that? You know what I'm
Speaker 1: saying and like and in some senses I'm like, I'm
Speaker 1: I'm I'm looking at the progressive wing where I'm like
Speaker 1: where they're like, well, we can stay in our ground
Speaker 1: as much as we can. But if you already on
Speaker 1: this position to where I'm like, well, this ship's gotta happen, man,
Speaker 1: we gotta do something. Then I see why they were like,
Speaker 1: all right, well, I guess is. But at the same time,
Speaker 1: it's like you just left the park. You just left,
Speaker 1: You just left the playground, that fool just throw your basketball,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying that you just go you
Speaker 1: just go go home. You literally let Joe managed take
Speaker 1: out the family paid leave that we all need in
Speaker 1: this country. Literally, let this one spoiled man, one by
Speaker 1: his damn self, take that out out of the build back,
Speaker 1: which is can we just fell back? But I hate it.
Speaker 1: It's a horrible name. It's a terrible name. And I'm
Speaker 1: so sick of hearing about how it's a once in
Speaker 1: a lifetime investment. You you've taken out so many things
Speaker 1: that made it, made it, I mean no, but like
Speaker 1: you made it somewhat worthy of like a conversation, you
Speaker 1: know what. Yes, So, speaking of which, let's go over
Speaker 1: with so it went from three point five trill to
Speaker 1: one point seven five trill. So and again I'm I'm
Speaker 1: I'm of the same like school of thought. That's like
Speaker 1: once numbers get so hi, they just don't feel real,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. It's like a one quadrillion
Speaker 1: dollars I don't know. It doesn't seem real. All right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: what what is it? What is a trillion? You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying until you start talking about where each
Speaker 1: of these dollars go. So at one point seven five trill,
Speaker 1: what what we're getting. We're getting universal pre K, dope,
Speaker 1: expanded healthcare right uh, thirty five billy towards UM hearing benefits,
Speaker 1: which is dope. Uh. One year extension on the top
Speaker 1: childcare tax credit which is tiny, but it's dope. I
Speaker 1: came front when him checks come in mediocre but dope mediocre,
Speaker 1: but dope, him checks do be coming in, and I do,
Speaker 1: thank you very much. Uh five fifty BILLI on like
Speaker 1: um climate like tax incentives UM, which I understand, but
Speaker 1: I think is a little bit trash. Not enough, not enough. Also,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of other tax incentives that if you like,
Speaker 1: why if I got to choose a tax incentive and
Speaker 1: I'm a earth killing corporation, I'm like, well, I can
Speaker 1: choose other tax incentives. I don't have to take this one.
Speaker 1: There's plenty other ones. UM hundred fifty billy uh to
Speaker 1: build one million affordable housing units, which all need to
Speaker 1: be in Los Angeles themselves, right, Uh man, yeah, right,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Um and a hundred billy
Speaker 1: in like immigration reform, that's what we're getting. Yeah, but like,
Speaker 1: well we're not getting Yeah, well we're not getting in
Speaker 1: and like things that we're promised is like all right,
Speaker 1: So thank you Joe Manchin for taking out the paid
Speaker 1: family leave. Uh this was like obviously something we needed,
Speaker 1: very popular and polling, and uh this one man cried
Speaker 1: wolf and it's out. Uh the original thing had it
Speaker 1: had it at twelve weeks, then it was four weeks.
Speaker 1: Now it's not even then. There was the two years
Speaker 1: free community college. I can't even express like like like
Speaker 1: how much that would do for people. It would have
Speaker 1: been it really and yeah, it would have been a
Speaker 1: game changer. It would have been a game changer. And
Speaker 1: I don't understand why it's so hard to wrap your
Speaker 1: brain around in the sense that like, well, you know,
Speaker 1: you get twelve years of free school. It makes literally
Speaker 1: no sense years don't It makes literally no sense. And
Speaker 1: you know, just the the amount of lives that would impact, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know. And then and then uh, this ship pissed
Speaker 1: me off because this ship is so expensive and frustrating
Speaker 1: to begin with the dental and vision ship taking that
Speaker 1: auto medicare. Uh, I just like why like that like
Speaker 1: some of that, Like it's like I don't know, Like
Speaker 1: I wish I understood. I wish I could. We gotta
Speaker 1: get miles back in here to attract the dark money
Speaker 1: because I'm like, explain to me, why why why are
Speaker 1: you taking out the teeth man? Like what what do you?
Speaker 1: What do you? What do you? Here's the thing, but
Speaker 1: you don't get this. Here's the thing. Last time I checked,
Speaker 1: my eyes and my mouth were part of my body
Speaker 1: and we're part of my health. So why is it
Speaker 1: I mean like money and uh, drug companies and shady people,
Speaker 1: but you know, like the dark money. But it's like
Speaker 1: really you it was like it was like an eight
Speaker 1: voucher too. Yeah, Like I mean, and even with insurance,
Speaker 1: dental and vision ship is so unnecessarily expensive. Yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't understand why those two are like carve outs
Speaker 1: from just medical insurance. Period. It's it still doesn't the
Speaker 1: concept still doesn't make sense. It's still part of your
Speaker 1: body except for the money. And then the part that
Speaker 1: blows my mind too is like if you big, if
Speaker 1: you big dental, I don't know. If the government pays
Speaker 1: for it, then you're getting your money. Yeah, why do
Speaker 1: you care where that checks coming from? Who do you
Speaker 1: care is on the bottom of it? You know what,
Speaker 1: You still get your money? Does it clear? Does the
Speaker 1: check clear? Sophie, I mean, when the hell you're worried
Speaker 1: about who it comes from. You more a matter of fact,
Speaker 1: you more likely to get your money if it's government
Speaker 1: subsidized then from me, because because there are so many
Speaker 1: people that are like, nah, I can't, I can't, I
Speaker 1: ain't got it. I'm not doing it because you know
Speaker 1: I need that, I need that for for something else.
Speaker 1: And it's terrible because people do need to get do
Speaker 1: need to do dental envision. Yeah, I mean it's horrible. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I wish, I wish, I really wish I understood. I
Speaker 1: wish I could track the logic for this one. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't understand. Bernie. Bernie really championed that one, and
Speaker 1: like and then and then I watched Bernie get played
Speaker 1: like a punk too. He laid like a punk even
Speaker 1: visually that man outside talking to the talking to the
Speaker 1: to the to the to the press. Joe Manson run
Speaker 1: up put itself up under under his arm here like
Speaker 1: let's let's cop this picture, and Bernie not paying attention.
Speaker 1: It was like, okay, Pat Pat Pat, Pat Pat. I'm like, bro,
Speaker 1: he just played you so hard right now because you
Speaker 1: just got played so hard, like I have to stay.
Speaker 1: I'm standing back and looking at Joe Manson and I'm like, well, bravo,
Speaker 1: all right, you were well played, sir, because you just moved.
Speaker 1: You just proved to everybody whose team this is. He
Speaker 1: just proved to everybody whose team this is. And and
Speaker 1: like showing where what what money is worth? What to you? What? Who? Who?
Speaker 1: Who matters to you? Who doesn't matter to you? And
Speaker 1: what pill you're willing to die on? And like low
Speaker 1: balling people? It really okay, So this is some very
Speaker 1: niche basketball here, but this really does remind me to
Speaker 1: the of of of this uh my boy, the ball
Speaker 1: Mamba Alex Cruiser situation right now, where where he wanted
Speaker 1: to stay with the team. He wanted to stay with
Speaker 1: the team this is. He wanted to stay and the
Speaker 1: team would not fund what was deserved, right, I mean,
Speaker 1: like he and he was really really really willing and
Speaker 1: willing to negotiate here. Man, he was okay, so he
Speaker 1: was giving a low ball offer. He was like, uh no,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go see what my options are.
Speaker 1: He came back twice, was willing to take less money
Speaker 1: in the Lakers fun. I can't even like, yeah, CRUs
Speaker 1: could happen, but like that exact thing is what's happening here.
Speaker 1: Why are you willing to fumble the bag on something
Speaker 1: as good as dental envision as paid family leave? Like
Speaker 1: why are you willing to put money into something that
Speaker 1: is not worth the money? Yeah? I don't get it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's I love. That's a great comparison to that. That
Speaker 1: trade was trade was crazy. It's deeply he was coming
Speaker 1: to the Yeah it's a deep cut, but he was
Speaker 1: coming to the table. He was coming to the table,
Speaker 1: and he was willing to say he wanted to work
Speaker 1: with the team, to work with the team, just like
Speaker 1: you know, just like we have these progressives, like we
Speaker 1: have congress Woman AOC she wants she wants these things.
Speaker 1: She knows what and that's why they voted no, because
Speaker 1: they're like listen, man, like we're and then it's just
Speaker 1: like we got to see like fucking nance see Pelosi
Speaker 1: officiating that that that rich people. What It's like, what
Speaker 1: are you? What's happening right now? And and and they're like,
Speaker 1: all right, it's gonna happen by the fifteenth, that's gonna
Speaker 1: happen by all we gotta vote to keep They have
Speaker 1: to vote to keep the government funded. If this ship
Speaker 1: happens like it always does and they go on holiday
Speaker 1: break and leave people without their bread. Yeah, it's just
Speaker 1: it's just very like you are supposed to be the
Speaker 1: Big three right now. Why are you not taking advantage
Speaker 1: of that and getting good ship for good Like come on, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's yes, we all work. You look stupid. Where the stupid?
Speaker 1: You're a team of You're a team of all stars.
Speaker 1: The thing is, it's stacked for you. I don't understand
Speaker 1: this is like, this whole thing is stacked for you.
Speaker 1: Why are you losing and you're gonna keep because it's
Speaker 1: that that Lakers team with the Gary Payton and Karl Malone. Yeah, Yo,
Speaker 1: that's exactly what it is. That's exhaustly that was that
Speaker 1: was Those were the next words coming out of my mouth.
Speaker 1: It's like your old heads that don't know how to
Speaker 1: work together, these old heads that are used to being
Speaker 1: stars and just don't know how to work together. Y'all
Speaker 1: gonna lose. You gonna lose. So I'm like, yo, whose
Speaker 1: team is this? Whose Steavens is? My theory is And
Speaker 1: you're saying this, saying until y'all figure out whose team
Speaker 1: that's really supposed to be, because we don't. Because look,
Speaker 1: look Joe and mentioned him Planet is flag. He's like,
Speaker 1: this is my team. You'll get wrong. Prove me wrong,
Speaker 1: he said. He said, I have you moving for me,
Speaker 1: y'all moving for me, and and it sounds to me
Speaker 1: like he willing to take the l He's like, I'll
Speaker 1: take the team. I'll take I'll put the ring on
Speaker 1: the line. I'll take the team. I don't care. This
Speaker 1: is my squad. He said. Paid family leave. You don't
Speaker 1: need paid family leave. You don't need that, like your
Speaker 1: children literal gradin. I can't suck your children, don't get pregnant. There,
Speaker 1: that's what this fool said. Man got dog and you can't.
Speaker 1: But you can't be on the other side of that,
Speaker 1: being like, come on, guys, but we're a team. Come on,
Speaker 1: let's do the right thing. I mean it also like
Speaker 1: I was watching uh MSNBC last night. I was watching
Speaker 1: Rachel Maddow and she was showing this stuff. How it's
Speaker 1: like in all these local papers they're applauding in like Louisiana, Florida,
Speaker 1: applauding that all this money is coming to their state
Speaker 1: because this infrastructure bill. Mind you, the Republicans are all
Speaker 1: like pat, Pat Pat, They voted against it. So so
Speaker 1: it's like it just goes back to basketball again, where
Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, you won, but you didn't deserve to win.
Speaker 1: You wasn't post to win, You ain't really win. You
Speaker 1: got an asteris because this ain't really a win. You won,
Speaker 1: but you didn't. You didn't do your part due, and
Speaker 1: you're still gonna be at that ribbon cutting ceremony. You're
Speaker 1: still gonna be there, you ring, I'm looking at I'm
Speaker 1: looking at I'm looking at the Democratic Party during that
Speaker 1: season when Cleveland and Golden State was playing in Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then Foods blew a three one lead. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: like you just you blew a three one lead in
Speaker 1: the in the finals. Y'all blew it? How you? Yeah?
Speaker 1: And and and the JV squad did that too in
Speaker 1: the bubble, and the JV squad did it in the bubble,
Speaker 1: like yeah, y'all blew how you gonna blow this lead?
Speaker 1: Like y'all breathe, y'all breathing, like don't. And the one
Speaker 1: thing I will give them credit for is in this
Speaker 1: ass whoop. And they just got in these like in
Speaker 1: these uh pre pre mid terms. Uh. They wasn't running
Speaker 1: around talking about like, oh yeah the Republicans cheated. No,
Speaker 1: they just took it on the chain, like yeah we yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, the amount of respect I would have lose,
Speaker 1: I mean, like I don't really have respect for the
Speaker 1: Democratic Party, but like even more. But like that's so
Speaker 1: that's so weak. Yeah, that's that's so corny. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: had they I'm glad they took it on the chin.
Speaker 1: And I hope they listening, and I hope they say, Okay, listen, dog.
Speaker 1: But if I'm Biden, I need to get control of
Speaker 1: my team because literally, how you are supposed to be.
Speaker 1: You are supposed to be the Michael Jordan's the you're
Speaker 1: supposed to be that guy you have you. We all
Speaker 1: came out and voted, and like, voting is not obviously
Speaker 1: not the answer to our problems, but it does have
Speaker 1: some type of benefit and help. And we all came
Speaker 1: out and got and we have the Democratic Party has
Speaker 1: control of Congress, Senate, and the White House. Where's my
Speaker 1: r O I, where's my return on investment? So it's
Speaker 1: like voters when it comes to to to to Uh,
Speaker 1: the next section are going to be like, alright, so
Speaker 1: like we got you, but you didn't like where is it? Yes,
Speaker 1: we need to walk into that locker room. It's the
Speaker 1: end of the first half. We need to look at
Speaker 1: him and just be like, if you don't boss up, like,
Speaker 1: go out there and boss up, what the hell are
Speaker 1: you doing? You know what you know? Trade it off
Speaker 1: for you. We drafted your ass. Go boss up. I
Speaker 1: just figured out who he's being. Okay, who is he being?
Speaker 1: Speaking Magic Jobson When he's like I don't want to
Speaker 1: play the fourth quarter's like he's like I don't want
Speaker 1: to play the fourth He's literally madgic Johnson being like
Speaker 1: being like all right, like I've got I got you here,
Speaker 1: all right, y'all figure it out, y'all figure it out.
Speaker 1: I don't want to play the FOURD at the corner.
Speaker 1: I'm just sitting out the fourth and uh, I gotta
Speaker 1: bring like Joe Biden, you're not and you can't do
Speaker 1: that first first and number two. You can't sit out

Speaker 1: You let this man, this man running you right now?
Speaker 1: You feel me like I just I can't think of
Speaker 1: any more comparisons to Like if this was my child,
Speaker 1: I would be looking at my son like, son, what
Speaker 1: the hell are you doing? What? What is what's happening
Speaker 1: right now? Are you scared? Are you scared of this
Speaker 1: little boy? Like I would be just like why you

Speaker 1: don't understand? You're in charge? You know? Do you? You
Speaker 1: got older siblings? I got an older sibling. Like if
Speaker 1: my sister was not scared of me, I'm a whole
Speaker 1: foot bigger than her. But that's my big sister. She
Speaker 1: knows she in charge. Yeah. When we was kids, I
Speaker 1: mean I could talk, I could wolf all I want
Speaker 1: she would just be like, uh, huh okay, my brother.
Speaker 1: My brother is a is older and a photot up
Speaker 1: to me, but uh definitely uh Dr Lichtman, absolutely you
Speaker 1: like he's in charge. But it was like I was
Speaker 1: his sister, he was not my brother, Like did you
Speaker 1: do the hierarchy? We do exactly what. We knew whose
Speaker 1: team it was. We knew whose team it was. That's
Speaker 1: my We knew whose team it was. And when you
Speaker 1: know what team it was that, I'll tell you what.
Speaker 1: Me and my sister. That's funny how we moved it
Speaker 1: over here. Me and my sister. We used to have
Speaker 1: like agreements about like hey, uh I won't tell on
Speaker 1: you about this, you won't tell on me about that,
Speaker 1: you feel me? And she would set it up. She
Speaker 1: was in charge. We all had chores and she would
Speaker 1: be like, listen, okay, look it, I'm gonna let you go.
Speaker 1: You can go play with your friends, this, this and this.
Speaker 1: I just need you to make sure if you do
Speaker 1: if you do my if you do my dishes. I'm
Speaker 1: like and I'm like, all right, your team. I can't
Speaker 1: be like I'm not doing your dishes. She's like, okay, nope,
Speaker 1: I knew whose team it was? You set the rules,
Speaker 1: we all win. I didn't tell nobody you snuck out
Speaker 1: and took the cahar, but she had your back, she
Speaker 1: had my back. I ain't telling nobody you snuck out
Speaker 1: to take the car. You ain't telling nobody else. Knuck
Speaker 1: out and wrote my name on the wall. My brother,
Speaker 1: my brother, uh foot taller than me, brilliant, like brilliant,
Speaker 1: like through and through, like basketball captain of the team.
Speaker 1: I mean me too, but like whatever, but like he
Speaker 1: it was his team, right, but he also knew that
Speaker 1: I was on the team and he had to protect me, right,
Speaker 1: So it's like, you know, he brilliant foot taller than me, uh,
Speaker 1: come to the basketball team just like there, but like
Speaker 1: I was on his team, and so if somebody tried
Speaker 1: to mess with me, I was on his team, right.
Speaker 1: We were. I remember we were at one of his
Speaker 1: friend's horses playing basketball and the friend, a little brother
Speaker 1: and a little brother's friend tried to try to mess
Speaker 1: with me during the game because I crossed him over
Speaker 1: and like sorry, Ethan, but like crossed and I crossed
Speaker 1: him and he tried to push me, and my brother
Speaker 1: scared the living ship out of him because he was like,
Speaker 1: he was like, first of all, uh, that's my sister,
Speaker 1: and someone's gonna pick on her, it's gonna be me.
Speaker 1: And second of all, do not disrespect her like that
Speaker 1: because she's on my team. And and like Joe, I
Speaker 1: managine you should be on Joe Biden's team. Yeah, why
Speaker 1: are you not on the squad? I just don't because
Speaker 1: he don't care. He's like either as my squad or
Speaker 1: is Nobody's like you can't work with somebody like that,
Speaker 1: especially somebody like that that got the power enough and
Speaker 1: and the guts inside of them, the balls inside of
Speaker 1: them to just to take it on the chain if
Speaker 1: it if it don't work out to be like I
Speaker 1: mean whatever, I'm cool, and then all of us lose,
Speaker 1: Then we all lose. That's the problem. If you don't know,
Speaker 1: if somebody decides that they team and they're willing to
Speaker 1: tank the team, everybody loses, like Carmelo on the Knicks,
Speaker 1: Like carmelow. We can end it right there, that's perfect,
Speaker 1: Like yeah, you just you just well, I mean, I
Speaker 1: don't know what to tell you dog like this. Yes,
