To my right, my dog, young Nacho, young T. How you up, man? I was playing a post today in practice, man, against the kids,

so I had to pull out the heavy duties. Yeah, why you ain't wear the penny threes? Them was super heavy, dudes. I like to take my comment back. The penny threes is the worst pennies. They just take a shoe and put, just fucking,

just put a wave on the side of the bitch. They put a Pat Ewing shoe with Penny name on it. Damn, that's out of pocket. Man, them motherfuckers

is big as shit, but now I'm a Penny Hardaway fan, so decided to, we talked about him last episode. And that's funny you brought up Pat Ewing. I like,

I feel this way about like Steph and other like co-players that have like weak ass signature shoes like especially in like big cities

like damn like I wish I could've been Orlando cause I would've been geeked to wear a pair of pennies. In New York I don't want them Ewing's bro.

I had the Ewing's. They came back for a year and a half. I'll rock some next episode. Remind me. I got some Ewing's. I got the Georgetown

ones too. Shout out to my nigga Phil Cole. You got some. I got the Georgetown ones too. Matter of fact. Shout out to my nigga Phil Cole. You had him? Yeah. We had them in the Matumbos. Nah, the Team Teague Matumbo wave was crazy.

Nuts, bro. Adidas show, too much love. Yeah. Them Matumbos was, I don't know. Fuck them,

bro. Me and Phillip Blue, we wore the shit out of them hoes. Facts. That was the official hoop show when I seen them shows I was like oh yeah

my niggas on the hoop session them black matumbos yeah that's the TNT hoop session right there alright man

but hey trade deadline took place today couple wild shit took off not any marquee names to say but I always

want to ask you obviously you've been a part of this you played in the league for a long time trade deadline how was that when you feel like I might fucking get traded today like what's that feeling But I always wanted to ask you, obviously you've been a part of this. You played in the league for a long time. Trade deadline. How was that when you feel like I might fucking get traded today? Like, what's that feeling?

I only felt that, shit, twice. One time I was like, shit, I hope I don't get traded. Then I got traded. That's when I was in Boston. But the other times it was like, I ain't never really think I was going to get traded. Minnesota, it kind of caught me by surprise but I kind of asked

for that trade I was ready to get out of there but I wasn't there I ain't never really cared because it's banks everywhere that's a bar that's a bar

like shit you get your check on the first and the 15th it's banks everywhere so I ain't never really cared that's real I mean I be feeling bad for certain players

like I be shit if I went from a cold ass team to like damn this team about to not be in the playoffs these niggas is louder like my whole move

fucked up nah the worst is get traded from a sad team to another sad team nah that's what I'm saying that's when you know your time is almost up when you start going

a weak team the weak team is like yeah I'm about to go ahead and get up out of here. You start hitting that chitlin' circuit, niggas start sending you to San Antonio. When they sent me from Minnesota to Atlanta on a rebuild, I was like, yeah, I probably ain't going to have too many more years than this motherfucker.

They was like, yeah, we about to have a backcourt of Jeff Teague and Trey Young. 5'10". I be wondering if niggas be trying to figure out, like, damn, bro, when they go to that sad-ass team, like, what's next? I wonder if they be hitting their agents up, bro, what we got in the chamber, bro. Trying to be a, especially if you got

like 10 or 12, 10 or more years in there, you be like, man, if you, man, nah, I'ma say, bro, you got like 12 or 13, you start thinking, like, let me finesse it and be a good vet so I can stay around a little longer. Yeah. Especially if you don't have no plans outside of hoop.

Because that's a real decision. Like, you say that casually, but, like, for real, when you see them people who be like, alright, now I got to be a vet. Like, no matter how I was, alright, I got to adjust because if I'm about to be a coach, I got to start being honest now. Yeah, I wish I would have had the Udonis Haslam. Like, he held them niggas hostage because of that big three deal.

They owe that nigga money. He said, I'm going to get every cent. Nah, man. That nigga played a long game for sure. That nigga didn't play for like seven years straight. Shout out to him. I wish I could have held the Hawks or somebody hostage like that. Nah, bro, that's chess.

He played chess for sure. So shout out to him. He did it the right way. For sure, man. held the hawks or somebody hostage like that bro that's chess that he played chess for sure so shout out to him he did it the right way for sure man uh a couple of trades that caught me off guard um the detroit pistons ruined eastern conference for no reason i don't know why they had to send bogey and alec burke to the knicks on the team that's already code and gave them even better wings i'm pissed you know how much I love Tibbs, but shit, they ain't about to play. That nigga only play seven people. Now we about, hey, I seen a dude, homie,

on the internet was like, he gonna have to break that rule. I just seen Tibbs' head start shaking when he's subbing eight people. Man, come on. And they gonna lose it. They gonna only play a certain amount of people, so it's gonna be interesting.

Alec might not play, but he like Alec though. Yeah. He his type of player for sure. He ain't play defense. Bogey cold, so you gotta going to be interesting. Alec might not play, but he like Alec though. He's his type of player for sure. He ain't play defense. Bogey cold, so you got to play Bogey. I don't know if he play defense like that. That's where they might clash. Yeah, if you don't play defense because Dante been hooping,

Josh Hart. Yeah, Villanova Nick's been going crazy. Yeah, so it's going to be interesting. I feel like they down there might be the second best team in the East now. Like what? They might be the second best team

in the East, man. Oh, bro. They might have edged Milwaukee out right now. But they just got packed. Man, what the fuck you talking about? They did. And they still

might be the second best team in the East right now. That's a good pickup for them, too. They lost nothing. They wasn't even playing Quinn Grimes. Like, they weren't. Like, Tinsley gave them no run. And I think he a decent player.

I think he going to. Well, he in Detroit. I don't know what he going to do. Prayers up. But to the back. You know you. Sada! Sada, please.

You know you down bad when you wave your lottery pick. Hey, man. Two of them got waved. James Boconite got waved and Killian Hayes got waved. And they said Monty was just like he called off a trade for Killian a couple weeks ago. I'm like, that's interesting. So you DNP Jayden Ivey for 15 fucking games

and then hold him hostage just to let him go. Jayden just killed. He been killing. He had a 30, what, 35, 36, something like. Jalen just killed. He been killing. Yeah, he got a 30, what, a 35, 36, something like that? He just killed. But I think Pat, I ain't saying Pat

gonna make Milwaukee better or not, but that's a good pickup for them. That don't put the Knicks over the Bucs, bro. I just feel like as good as they plan

right now to get two more players that can come off and still shoot at an amazing clip, that Jalen, that Jalen, that double team is gone now. Cause you, that shit open.

Nah, cause Bogey can really score on me. Alec Bergen scored too. When he was with, I thought he was going to start going on his run when he played with Golden State in 2020. Cause that's when he, that was his best year in the NBA. He was averaging like damn near 17, 18 a game. So, I mean, they got a good score, but like Jeff says, I mean, Tibbs got to fuck with them.

Yeah, that's true. They're going to figure out a way to get Pat in the game, some type of way. Pat fit Milwaukee perfectly because he ain't a ball-dominant point guard. He ain't even really a point guard. He could play point guard. He more of a defender. 3 and D type of dude.

So for a Milwaukee like with a Giannis that's the kind of person they need. Cause Giannis always got the ball. Like when Dame out Giannis kind of

control the ball. The backup point guard you don't really get to handle the ball if you play with Giannis. Giannis coming down full head of steam. He want you in the corner

he kick it to you shoot that motherfucker. And that's what Pat do steam. He wants you in the corner. He kick it to you, shoot that motherfucker. And that's what Pat do best. He a great catch and shoot and he gonna guard. And then he gonna hold niggas accountable. Nah, facts.

That's why I think they really need him for sure. I was gonna say in the most underrated thing about Pat, like you said, he know how to facilitate and he know how to play with a star.

And you need somebody who know how to play with a star and he gonna bring that energy that they need to make a push. But I wanna ask you, like he said, him and Dame got to get that relationship right. You had a little bit of experience with that. How is it getting traded to a team where being on a team with somebody you used to have an issue with? Man, I like this much.

Like, damn, now we got to work together now. Who the fuck I have an issue with? Belly. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I ain't really, I ain't know it was an issue. I was just wild. I was just smacking the motherfucker and moved on with it. You thought it was just over? Yeah, I didn't know it was an issue. I was just, I was just wild. I just smacked the motherfucker and moved on with it.

You thought it was just over? Yeah, I didn't know there was really no pressure with it. I was like, damn, until I walked in the locker room. I'm like, damn,

he really still on that. But, nah, they shit a little different though because they was talking big boy shit. But that's the nature of the beast, man. You got to walk in the locker room. You got to go say what up.

That's on and off the court beef. Yeah, and it's a little different when it's like, yeah, you walk into, yeah. I'm bit dog, bro. Yeah, I'm bit dog, bro. Come on over here and you did, bro. I'm bit dog. Like, it was cool. You were starting to, you could pop shit with him.

Like, you could talk back and forth, but now you in a different position and you got to walk in kind different position and you gotta walk in kinda little more humble not saying Pat ain't gonna be who he is for sure he gonna do that but

I'm gonna whatever you need I got you brother that's what you got yeah you know what I mean Pat I'm about to go get some shots up fuck with me yeah but

he also got to be like nigga you my backup now nigga it's a little different bro yeah you know what I mean humble pie yeah I think Pat I think Pat gonna He also going to be like, nigga, you my backup now, nigga. It's a little different, bro. Yeah. You know what I mean? I'm with Pa.

Yeah. I think Pa going to thrive in that role, bro. Ah, for sure. He going to be a perfect fit. He probably signed a two or three-year deal with them after this year. It's going to be funny in the playoffs. He going to have a couple of them games where he's just hitting threes for no reason. He going to be talking cash shit. Yeah, he going to be gory.

He going to go at Philly. They going to play Philly or something. He going to have cash shit. Yeah, he gonna be going to go at Philly. They gonna play Philly or something. He gonna have a moment. I see it already. He gonna have a moment here like three or four threes.

He gonna start bugging out. Everybody in Milwaukee gonna love that shit. Milwaukee love that kind of shit. Like him and Bobby Portis, they gonna love that combination.

They got a hell of a bench. They gonna love that combo. That's gonna be exciting to see. I'm gonna have to come to the Eastern Conference game. Y'all still got my tickets.

Fear the deer. What the fuck they talking about? Nah, I haven't seen the last episode. That's crazy. Who else y'all think cleaned up today? OKC. OKC cleaned up. What?

Why? Because they got Gordon Hayward. Wow, you gave Gordon some love? Whole nigga's accountable, you two. Man, please do. I said I didn't want no more white people on the Pacers but if that's all it took, god damn. I ain't know the niggas gonna go crazy

like that. My Pacers, we gotta do something, baby. Y'all got Doug McDermott. Plug McDermott back in the city. Yeah, we had to get butt watered up out of here. And they got another mixed breed. Who you say? Corey Joseph. I don't expect Corey Joseph to set foot in 46208

Corey we have room for you yeah I was gonna say hey him and DJ Augustine was two niggas who kept a job yeah

for sure Corey matter of fact Corey Joe come on the podcast man we can talk about how we can go back yeah

this is a podcast to go back we'll definitely love that before they get you up out of here stop by before your deaths are flying definitely podcasts will go back. We'll definitely love that. Before they get you up out of here, stop by. Before your Delta fly.

Definitely enough for you to fly to economy. Get out. Nah, nah. Nah, he first class. Nah, he can play with y'all, bro. He can fit in somewhere, bro. He can get some

bullshit minutes. Y'all not, y'all not strapped, Paul. So like, y'all not like that. Amen. Y'all not a deep squad. I just got rid, y'all not like that. Hey, man.

Y'all not a deep squad. I just got rid of Buddy. Let me be happy. All right. I'm just saying. Just let me be happy. I got rid of Buddy. Let me be happy.

You love Buddy last year. You did it. It was like Buddy. That was my nigga. Buddy needed to start over Matherin all the time. Oh, me? And then he came out like he was in Space Jam and never got his parents back. Nah, fuck that. And I didn't want him no more.

Y'all was disrespecting me I said, play Matherin. Play the young boy. We got Buddy Hill, bro. Buddy need the shots. Now you trying to shift the nigga first thing out. Hey, listen. I know y'all don't watch Facebook games, but my Facebook niggas feel me. Nobody shed a tear today. When they see it, how does Tyrese feel?

This is why people leave. Get out. Fair weather fans, man. That's crazy, man. I'm a real fan. I'd never do that to the, uh... Luis, clip that! I'd never do that to the Bucs. I can't!

Or the Hawks. Or the Hawks. Clip that, please. That was awesome. Or the Hawks. Clip that, please. What about Minnesota? That was awesome. Never been a fan. That's crazy. I think Gordon Hayward is going to be perfect for it.

Okay, so he's especially playing off run, though. He's going to really help that team because they need somebody who can just catch and shoot. Shit, he about to go crazy. Nah, he just fit. And he more than that.

He fit what they do. Like, they all play with big wings. They don't really play a center like that. I mean, Shet Holmgren was a center, but he ain't really a center. Then they four men are like people like Gore and like Jalen Williams played a four. Another skill player, dribble pass shoot. Not that big. Probably like 6'7", 6'5", 6'6", 6'7", around that area.

Same size as Gore. And then they got Josh Giddey, 6'8". Another wing player, guard, whatever. They play that kind of system. And he fit perfect right there. He going to come off the pitch. Hell yeah. I told y'all.

Switch one through four. He ain't said it. I told y'all before the season started. But you know, y'all got it. Y'all NBA analysts, y'all got it. I let y'all rock. Nah, you can call it that. I mean, they are a good team.

They hard, bro. That young talent, them niggas. I'll say it. Teams that's talented like that, once they figure it out, bro, and niggas like to share the ball, they going to win, bro. Niggas are still getting their numbers, bro. And that's the new way of NBA. Even look what the Knicks is doing.

Like, nobody expected the Knicks to rebuild like this that quick, and they ain't even Do nothing crazy They just got Players who fit their system And they get going crazy Shout out to J.R. Get well soon bro His name is Julius Randle

Get well Julius Randle All star Ah shit I had a thing With fucking J.R. Yeah he gotta stop that I was really thinking Like damn nigga

Y'all done tapped in? Of course. So y'all believe her? She got all the receipts. Y'all believe that, well, she said she got the audio of Tyler Perry saying whatever, that he fucked up her career. Do you believe that he owe her? If he did.

How much you think he owe her? He said he fucked up about $10 million. He'll write it off That's kind of crazy that 10 million just ain't like nothing now All right, big girl here goes 10. I think she said 2 million per year for 10 years. He got that soon She trying to get a fucking mid-level extension like she out of pocket Get some Big Macs, that's how you treatlevel extension.

say fat and shit. You heard her on the interview. She said call me fat and all that. So I'm just saying a big woman with a husband that was a

not a comedian just make her an actress or an entertainer so they won't sue them and just kind of play that role. She feel like

she was getting hated on by the higher ups, the big wigs. Yeah. Make a fire movie out of it. Starring Taraji B. Hinton. You know Taraji

on that one. You gotta be careful. She gonna be the highest up. Boy. She gonna be Oprah in that movie. You think about it, it's a good,

it's a good concept. I feel like this is a movie I'm trying to figure out what movie it is. Now, that ain't a bad idea. It's just crazy how Hollywood be doing motherfuckers, though. Them bigger relationships, if you got them locked in. Shit.

And if she expecting people to go above and beyond and try to fuck up they bag for her, I don't think. What, like Kevin Hart now? Yeah. Yeah, that's like Michael Blackson kind of expounded upon that. And him to say, I don't even really rock with him like that, but still like, hey, he did what he could do for you.

It wasn't his job to save your career, but him even doing what he did should have been applauded. And then Dio Hughley snapped. I don't know if y'all seen that. No, what'd he say? Basically, he called Monique a lying piece of stuff.

He was on her ass basically saying everything she said about him was cat. And he was just like, I did what you asked me to because I guess something happened on the radio show and he was just like, I did what you asked me to because I guess something happened on the radio show and he was just like, I pulled that out of courtesy for you.

He was just like, but the way you talked about me and my family and my stuff, like, why are you even speaking on me? Like, nobody works with you. So your family don't even like you. He was going crazy. D.L. Hughley.

but just where y'all rank Monique in the comedy trying to get her run back. And I ain't mad at her, but just... Where y'all rank Monique? In the comedy with women. Where she at? That's tough for me to even... My favorite is Samora. Yeah, the nasty one. The titties.

I wasn't on that, but I'm saying when she doing her stand-up, I was a fan of when she was in Kevin Hart, That movie that Soul Plane I liked her in Fridays Yeah she was fire She was the new wife

I left Kander I like the Daddy love catch something I like the big old school woman too That be with Cat Williams Lanell Lanell Lanell's hilarious

Lanell's up there But Monique probably number one Just cause of the TV show for me. The Parkers is elite. Yeah. Elite TV show. Where's that TV show? Right.

Shit, it was definitely the top tier of the UPN shows. You think it's a top five black? No. Monique? No. Fuck no. Top ten, not top.

Top five is tough. Because they had Johnny Gil, boyfriend, and that motherfucker, the girl who sung. Her daughter. top 10 not top top 5 is tough cause they had Johnny G a boyfriend and that motherfucker the girl who sung her daughter Professor

he had Professor Ogilvie had some nasty shirts the daughter she was funny Kim Kim Kim was funny

the white girl was thick she was thick she was strapped low key strapped we don't talk about her enough she was thick

that white girl nigga low key had no bars my nigga yeah his rap was ass was thick. She was strapped. Low-key strapped. We don't talk about her enough. She was thick, though. That white girl. Nigga low-key had no bars, too. My nigga, yeah. His rap was ass. T was poop. I'm thinking about

the dynamic of the show, though. Nah, bro. It might be top five. That's a funny-ass show, though. Here's a fire show. It might be top five. So, that's better than Martin? D, come on, T.

Put him, just name, start naming shit. Steve Harvey. Okay. Go ahead, Fox. I might take the Start naming shit Steve Harvey Okay Go ahead I might take the Parker Brothers Wayne Brothers The Cosby's

It's getting spooky Are we just doing The Cosby's out That don't count Nah I wouldn't put that In that category You saying Before the allegations

Cosby's number one Cosby's number one Yeah before the allegations That's in the lead show Okay Family Matters. No, are we just doing straight comedy shows? What are you doing? You're doing good, bro.

Oh, 101 is an elite EPS show. No, you're doing great, bro. That's it. You going crazy. Go crazy. Fuck. You're doing good. Different strokes, different world.

Different world. Oh, I don't like different world. 101. 101. Yeah. All right, damn it. Okay, I don't like different world. One-on-one. Yeah. One-on-one. Oh, yeah. All right.

Okay. So he just named off 10. I said top 10 for sure. It's debatable. I can't give a five. I'm thinking about the dynamic, bro. It's a funny ass show. Monique and her daughter, bro. That's a real black bitch.

Did I say French Prince? That's a single mom. That's a single mom disrespectful my fault I can relate more to the Monisha I had both parents I'm just saying

like my my family dynamic outside of course my household but the Monisha bro is relatable bro niggas ain't even saying Moesha either

y'all fucking Moesha I like Moesha better than I like the Parkers Moesha was weak ooh nah that's a weak actual bro Frank Mitchell is a piece of shit I like Moesha better than I like the Parkers. Moesha was weak. Ooh. Nah, because the daddy was so fucked up that he made me like...

Frank Mitchell is a piece of shit. He made me like that show. Yeah, we already talked about how you get the high worst TV dad. Yeah, for sure. That's Mark. Yeah. But now that's a terrible show to me.

My opinion. It's one more thing. I ain't knocking y'all for liking that dog. They used to come on. But I agree. When they got to college when they was both in the same community

college bro that shit when they caught that stride that show was that Parkers was hilarious oh yeah that ain't going bro did y'all watch Malcolm and Eddie

Malcolm and Eddie Malcolm and Eddie was cool that was it wasn't if it wasn't them I'm fucking with it yeah Malcolm and Eddie was like

I'm working up my foot to last five minutes of the whole show I don't watch this motherfucker I got a good of the whole show. Fuck it, it's on. I don't watch this, motherfucker. I got a good question. The Parkers is top five.

The Parkers is top five. So, bro, it's better than Wayne's Brothers? I'm not saying, it's the bottom of the five. Oh, Wayne's Brothers, I don't.

Is it better than Wayne's Brothers? No. Hey. Is it better than Fresh Prince? Pops, yeah, I'm giving Wayne's Brothers

Pops. Is it better than, no, he's not better than Martin. No. Is it better than Birdie Mack Show? No.

No. It's five. It Martin. No. Is it better than Bernie Mac's show? No. It's five. It's number five. It's five in that fifth spot. I'm not mad at it, but it's debatable. No, I'm putting that over Bernie's show, bro. No, we can't do that, bro. Because Bernie, Bernie a legend.

Did you say Jamie Foxx show was better than the party? Did you say Jamie Foxx show? Yeah, I did. Jamie Foxx show was better than the party. I only watched that show because of Bernie. Fuck them kids, bro. And, oh, girl, she was... She was nice. Hey, respects. But that show because of Bernie. Fuck them kids, bro. And, oh, girl, she was, yeah.

She was nice. Hey, respects. But that show was better than the Parker. I'd be willing to call her Loretta for whatever reason. It's number five. What was her name?

But then where was her name? And Steve Harvey's show low-key better than the Parker's, bro. It is. Nah. I can't go, man. Bullethead, dude,

that show low-key. DJ Wildin, bro. I can't go, man. The Dynamic, yes, bro. Bullethead. It's a great show. Romeo, Steve, Seth, LaVita. LaVita, yeah. Regina can't go, man. The dynamic, yes, bro. Boy, it's a great show. Romeo, Steve, Seth,

LaVita. LaVita, yeah. Regina. The real LaVita. I swear, nah. It's like number six, seven. The dynamic of the show, bro. The characters

is what I'm saying, DJ. Because if we count the Cosby show and shit, she really start going. Cosby was a cheat, bro. Yeah, we can't put them in there. If you're adding shows like that, she's in top three.

Yeah. But if you're just saying comic relief shows and like comedians, she number six. Because I don't think she's better than Jamie Foxx. No, I agree.

Jamie Foxx is funny as fuck. I agree. I don't think she's better than Bernie Mac. That's me. The Bernie Mac show is funny because he really said fucking kids for four seasons

and I love it. But they wasn't. Them kids wasn't shit, bro. Oh, Baby Girl was a real villain in that show and nobody speaks about it. She was the worst kid. You know what show

I used to like, though? It's not better than The Parkers, but it could have been. Hanging with Mr. Cooper. Bro, yes it is. I saw it on the list. On my life,

that's better than... I swear to God, that show was hard. I don't think it had enough seasons, though. But if there's no Hanging with Mr. Cooper, there's, though. But if there's no hanging with Mr. Cooper, there's no Steve Harvey show. Thanks.

Hanging with Mr. Cooper, good shit, bro. Yes. I'm putting that. I don't want to, but I am. That was hard. That show was hard.

That show was nasty, bro. So is that top five? Yes, bro. All right, so she moved to like six or seven. Oh, we wildin'. Who? Smorgasbord.
