Starting point is 00:01:01 the term that we always hear from our audience is that they feel seen. Listen to Good Company on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Runs in the Family, an incredible true story of football, fatherhood, and belonging, written with and about Las Vegas Raiders running backs coach Dillon McCullough. It's the story of a football coach and father of four who sees his life forever changed by the unsealing of his adoption records. And it's got a twist you won't believe. Based on the viral ESPN story I did a few years ago, this book will blow your mind and bring you to tears. Buy Runs in the Family wherever books are sold. I know a lot of cops.

Starting point is 00:03:07 How y'all doing? Cool, bro. Yeah, y'all seen Travis Hunter, girl. Check B here. She dropped an eight-minute video just to be here. Check B here. I'm not going to do that. I'm going to stand on what I said yesterday.
Starting point is 00:03:24 I don't care about the eight minute video, but out of respect, cause I fuck with Trey. I'm a, I'm a stand down, but I, I know what that was about. So I get it.
Starting point is 00:03:35 The pressure was on. Yeah. It ain't nothing worse. Boy, he got been in a group chat with just one other person. Cause he got in that car where she was going crazy. Hey, defend me.
Starting point is 00:03:44 And then you had to get in that car and look at his face. He's like, I don't want to do this. See, but the crazy thing is he was just on the pivot. He was like, you know, everybody, it was before all this shit
Starting point is 00:03:52 went down. He's like, yeah, everybody be on my girl. Like, I love her, all that. I'm going to troll everybody back. That's how I knew this was something because he was just saying
Starting point is 00:04:00 he was a troll. He don't care what nobody say. So to see her get an eight minute video, I know he like, now this shit coming live. Then he said she's drinking. We don't want nobody. Amy Winehouse and this motherfucker.
Starting point is 00:04:14 I was supposed to go to rehab. We'll relax on her. Shout out to Trav, man. Love who you want to love, King. We're going to leave it there, man. This is good basketball. Yesterday, Yolkish doing what Yolkish does. Another trippy dub.
Starting point is 00:04:28 Yesterday, Nuggets got the one-point victory over the Kings. Yesterday, it was a crazy game. Super crazy ending, man. We've been talking about Jamal Murray showing up. He went crazy yesterday. 15-4. Smooth 28 with the go-ahead bucket. Yolkish 20-14-13.
Starting point is 00:04:42 Westbrook almost a triple dub. 18-10-9. D-Fox 29-7. Sabonis 2014-13. Westbrook almost a triple-dub, 18-10-9. D-Fox 29-7. Sabonis 28-14. Please tell me y'all caught some of that game yesterday, man. That was a good game. That's what they need Jamal Murray to do, though. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:54 They can't have him slack. He can't be scoring just 15-period. They need them big nights from him. Joker been holding it down so long. That boy tired, boy. Holding it down, boy. Ain't even Christmas yet, boy. He putting the team away.
Starting point is 00:05:05 He's back already. But like you said, Jamal Murray does what we expect him to do for sure. Yeah, I mean, we fell in love with this Jamal Murray. Big fourth quarter, big moments. I think that's when he became a fan favorite. You know, that bubble moment. We always talk about him going crazy in the bubble. And these was kind of moments he was having.
Starting point is 00:05:22 Big fourth quarters, 30-point games, 50-point games, things like that. So we expect this from him. For sure, man. It was a good matchup to see him and Fox going at it for sure.
Starting point is 00:05:32 I'll skip to the end of the game. Man, that's tough, tough, tough situation for Deebo, man. Had a nice little drop-off pass, opportunity to win the game, fumbled it, then had to get a tough shot around
Starting point is 00:05:41 to get the game going. It's a sucky way to lose a game, man. It's part of it, to lose a game, man. It's part of it, though. Shit happens. I was just glad to see Russell Westbrook out there looking like his old self. For sure, man.
Starting point is 00:05:53 Russell's been having a good year, man. You was early on to say it was going to fit with the Nuggets. Everybody was trying to see how it was going to work out. Yeah, I was. But it didn't seem it so far. Bro, he be fitting in with every team. It's just about. It's just the Lakers. Yeah, low key.
Starting point is 00:06:03 You know what I mean? He just, he's an energy type of guy. Like, not saying that's how you hoop. I'm just talking about the locker room. He fucking with his teammates heavy. I feel like he play well like that. Yeah, for sure. Remember, they tried to even start the whole year off with the smudge, talking about he couldn't get his number. He's like, hey,
Starting point is 00:06:18 don't start that shit. We cool. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. They be trying to start shit with this thing. He be trying to relax, though. So to see him then get tripped up on that team, that's what I'm saying. They be trying to start shifting the stick. He be trying to relax, though. So to see him then get tripped up on that team, that's fire, bro. Listen, man,
Starting point is 00:06:29 I know we talk about them a lot. They still a contender, man? I'm something. Still something on them? I think they got the best player in the league. So when you got the best player in the league
Starting point is 00:06:36 and he's a champion, you know how to win. They starting to get all their guys back. They got A.G. back. Mm-hmm. I think they got the recipe to be a great team.
Starting point is 00:06:47 With Jokic, anything is possible pretty much. For sure. Now, over to the Kings, you know, like we said, offseason, picking up DeMar DeRosa.
Starting point is 00:06:54 Expectations this year, I know they've been a little bit bothered with injuries, but is that the reason why they've been so inconsistent so far this year? Or do you think
Starting point is 00:07:01 something else is wrong? I don't know. I never really had them. No disrespect, but I never had them really being a contender or nothing. Yeah, I can't get
Starting point is 00:07:10 a good gauge on that team. I know they got capable players. I know Fox is an all-star player, superstar type of player. And we know we all fans of Deebo.
Starting point is 00:07:22 I just can't get a good gauge on that team. I think they got a lot of players that play similar or play the same position. I just think it's kind of like a bad fit. For sure, man. We're looking at some of these pieces from both teams you talk about. That might be, you know, in the transfer report on the NBA,
Starting point is 00:07:38 as we call it, and PJ. You know what I'm saying? They talk about rumor he could be on another team. Might be a piece to help Denver, you know what I'm saying, get back to the championship DeRozan obviously I think it's some time got to pass
Starting point is 00:07:48 but he might be on the block as well because obviously Dixie Spearman hasn't worked out in either one of their favorites so far and then
Starting point is 00:07:54 you gotta look at De'Aaron Fox man you know what I'm saying contract time he might want to test the waters you think that Kings do whatever they gotta do to keep him
Starting point is 00:08:00 yeah he that he that go-to player he's that superstar I mean he's having a hell of a year. Been playing great. You can't let a guy like him leave.
Starting point is 00:08:09 He lost. Yeah, you gave Tyrese Halliburton up for him. And he said this was going to be your guy. Average at 26, 5 and 6. I mean, you're not going to find that
Starting point is 00:08:20 nowhere else. Yeah, I don't know who else is doing that in the league that's not a superstar on the max deal or the guy for their team. Straight up. And even, I mean,
Starting point is 00:08:28 he's on the same level but even giving Davion Mitchell up, like you said, they gave up all their guard routes because we got the one. We can figure the rest
Starting point is 00:08:34 of this shit out. Yeah, facts. They got to be all in on D-Fox because clearly he's an all-star. You think Kevin Hartzell might leave?
Starting point is 00:08:39 You think they might try to hurt him? Yeah. I mean, I think Kevin Hartzell is a good player but they need something else. Yeah, they need another player and I think he Hurd is a good player, but... They need something else.
Starting point is 00:08:46 Yeah, they need another player, and I think he's a good trade piece. Because they still got Malik Monk. They got Deebo and Hurd. They're all shooting guards. I think they can get another piece that can help that team a little more. For sure. You think the Nuggets a piece of white hand? You think they should go get some help?
Starting point is 00:09:02 I mean, you get rid of MPJ, you can probably get something back for him. Most definitely. You can get a good piece back for him. Something unique. You know what I mean? If they give him up, though, they have to get shooting. That's my only thing.
Starting point is 00:09:14 If they decide to move up from him, they have to get shooting for that team. Yeah, because they let a boy go to... Yeah, losing KCP was a big deal for them as far as on the perimeter. You're going to have to get somebody else who can shoot the basketball. I think this is just me.
Starting point is 00:09:25 Maybe I'm his biggest fan, but if they traded MPJ for Cam Johnson, I think it'll be a seamless fit. I think he's a way... Obviously, he's a better defender. He shoots the ball just as good. And I think he'll play great cutting off Jokic.
Starting point is 00:09:41 He moves great without the ball. I think they can get a nice package back from Brooklyn for him. For sure. And obviously, he's played with stars as well, so he knows being in that type of environment, winning environment, went to the finals. That's a hell of a situation, T. I ain't mad at it, but I'm going to tell you right now,
Starting point is 00:09:56 Cam Thomas and MPJ as a two or three for the Nets, ain't nobody else getting shot up. Oh, no. Nigga, they not swinging nothing. They tanking, so it don't even matter. So it don't even matter. You get the no limit tank rolling.
Starting point is 00:10:07 MPJ, yeah, he can go to Brooklyn. Go swag out, man. Go average 30, bro. Yeah. All right, man, I see him playing the pickup game
Starting point is 00:10:13 with Trae Young and Steph Curry. He looked them off. I said, oh yeah, he don't give a fuck. He did that at AU with them. He was the best player in that class.
Starting point is 00:10:21 Yeah. Paul, if it wasn't for his back injury, bro, he was the number one player in the class, bro injury, bro, he was the number one pick. He was going to be the number one pick. He didn't get hurt. What school was that? Iowa?
Starting point is 00:10:29 Where'd they go? No, he went to Missouri. Missouri, I mean. That's Pop's situation. Yeah. He got a lineage, too, over there. Yeah. They breeding him over there.
Starting point is 00:10:39 God, he's going to be the number one pick. That's a good find right there, boy. Now they found Pop to say, hey, we need him here. Go get a job. Come on, Rick Brunson, you know the vibes. 76ers, man. Jesus, they got a win. It felt like a holiday.
Starting point is 00:10:54 Tyrese Maxey had 40. PG had 33. They got the dub off of the Hornets yesterday, man. Listen, man. You said it's what we need for PG to be aggressive. Maxey doing what Maxey does best, 40 ball. Yeah, I did it to the Hornets. I ain't hating, but that's a good dub for the team.
Starting point is 00:11:09 Shout out to my boy, Maxie, with the 40 piece. PG, you been supposed to do that. Oh, don't do that, man. We going to respect 33, bro. 33 is tough. No, I'm saying I'm expecting you to do that. I'm fucked with PG. Like, nigga, you know, but Tyrese Maxey, we need you, Dasty.
Starting point is 00:11:25 Don't let him run you to the ground, man. So that 40 piece was needed. Come on, man. No Joel Embiid, no Jerry McCain. Like, listen, that team is a skeleton. Man, I'm shitting Jerry McCain injured too, though. That might be over for that rookie of the year. Yo, who you think gonna get it now? Somebody who's healthy, bro. That's at the top.
Starting point is 00:11:41 It's been going up and down, man. For real, at this point, I'm trying to think. They had a couple people who they said Mike can get it, but that's kind of fucked up that he won't get it because he probably should get it, bro. Yeah. He was on his way.
Starting point is 00:11:53 Yeah, I know James Wells in Memphis is hot, too. He's been killing, too, but I don't know, man. But, man, Miles Bridges, 24-6, and Mello had 15-11 first game back,
Starting point is 00:12:01 but, man, this is sad for the Sixers. Like, we happy that they got a dub, but you see Embiid out. He got hurt in the Pacers game. He's going to be out for probably another week or so. It's like, damn, man. What is this team going to do? Nothing, bro. I think they're going to find their groove, man. Once
Starting point is 00:12:15 Embiid get back. You still believing? Yeah, PG. Getting 33 seemed like he finding his groove a little bit. And getting Maxey playing at a high level, I think they're going to peak at the right time. I think they're starting to build a little steam. Getting this dub might trigger something.
Starting point is 00:12:34 Maybe MB might want to come back a little early and play. I don't know. Man, we talked about the Hornets. Obviously, not too much of an expectation. They got some solid young pieces, but what do they need to do to make next steps for this team, man? The Hornets are just... They're just the Hornets, obviously, not too much of an expectation. They got some solid young pieces. But what do they need to do to make next steps for this team, man? Hornets is just. They're just Hornets.
Starting point is 00:12:50 Yeah, it's just a young team, bro. It's kind of because you don't want to get rid of Lamello. You can't do nothing with Brandon Miller. Keep him. He young. Just build. Miles Bridges. All them dudes are still young, bro.
Starting point is 00:13:00 I keep my core. Yeah, they need a a couple like OG veteran. Yeah. On their way out type niggas. You know, because that's, I'm sorry,
Starting point is 00:13:10 go back to Lamello's numbers again. Because that's crazy. Yeah, I mean. Yeah, 30 and 7 and 5 is nuts. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:17 We're not moving you. Nah. Nah, Lamello. You'll be in the Raptors if it's up to me. Lamello's there to stay. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:13:24 you're not. But it's just like me. LaMelo's there to stay. Yeah, you're not in control. But it's just like they need, they need like two better, but like old school, like not old school. They got Tyus Gibson in them. They need like people that could play at like the center.
Starting point is 00:13:38 Yeah. Or the wing position like a defender. Honestly, they need like Dylan Brooks. They need one of them. Yeah, that's a fact, bro. Old Marcus, smart-ass nigga. Yeah, I see what Dylan Brooks did for Houston. They need a player
Starting point is 00:13:54 similar to him. I like that energy. It's unfortunate he had to leave for Green and Precious, but the perfect person to team, they let go. P.J. would have been perfect for that team, but no. He had to go and get into another situation, man. Yeah, but nah. You don't think so?
Starting point is 00:14:07 Nah, you too. I ain't going to say mine, their mine. They all was one and the same, bro. They was all, they all was on the same shit.
Starting point is 00:14:16 He needed to change his senior. He got his change of senior and made him a better player. And now, we like the P.J.
Starting point is 00:14:22 that we see. Oh yeah, he nice. He still was a good player in Charlotte, but now we like, oh. we see. Like, oh, yeah, he nice. Like, he still was a good player in Charlotte, but now we like, oh. Out the light in a negative way. You say that, but it won't be the same PJ in Charlotte? All them young niggas.
Starting point is 00:14:33 Nah, man. Get an old head over there, like bro said, they got enough scoring. Everybody, we got our main nigga averaging 30 and seven, which is crazy to me, but he kill it.
Starting point is 00:14:43 My next young nigga's averaging 21. That's smooth. And then, you know, Miles me, but he kill it. My next young nigga's average is 21. That's smooth. And then, you know, Mavs give you what he give you. They need a hard-nosed type of guy over there. I agree. Couple veterans. A backup that play super hard. They just need more depth on that team. Yeah, I don't know what kind of
Starting point is 00:14:59 backup. What's crazy is, you know, so they had Gordon Hayward as a veteran. He said, hey, I gotta get me up out of here. Yeah, Gordon is a Utah type of guy, though. It's different. Gordon, I mean, he— I don't want to take you guys to bed. I'm going to keep it real. Yeah, that ain't the one they need.
Starting point is 00:15:14 I don't even know— He could be the middle of it. I don't know who— They're going to the Lord to eat. Yeah. That's funny, man. And B, man, you think at some point obviously not this year but if they go into next year and he still had an iffy injury history do you think about moving on from mb or do you

We dive into the competitive world of streaming, how she's turning so-called niche into mainstream gold, connecting audiences with stories that truly make them feel seen. What others dismiss as niche, we embrace as core. It's this idea that there are so many stories out there, and if you can find a way to curate

Get a front row seat to where media, marketing, technology, entertainment, and sports collide, and hear how leaders like Anjali are carving out space and shaking things up a bit in the most crowded of markets.

In the fall of 1986, Ronald Reagan found himself at the center of a massive scandal that looked like it might bring down his presidency. Did you make a mistake in sending arms to Tehran, sir?
Starting point is 00:20:46 No. No one was let go. It became known as the Iran-Contra affair. And I'm not taking any more questions in just a second. I'm going to ask... I'm Leon Nafok, co-creator of Slow Burn. In my podcast, Fiasco, Iran-Contra, you'll hear all the unbelievable details of a scandal that captivated the nation nearly 40 years ago, but which few of us still remember today. The things that happened were so bizarre and insane, I can't begin to tell you.
Starting point is 00:21:20 Please do. Yesterday against the Heat, that was a really, really solid game, man. K had a trippy dub. 2018 and 11, Jimmy Butler went crazy as well, man. 35-19-10 and a loss. Man, Malik Beasley hit seven threes yesterday. Had a smooth 28. Your favorite white boy had 23. Tyler Hero, man, it was a really solid game. Yeah. Jimmy Butler, 19 rebounds is crazy.
Starting point is 00:22:04 Jimmy, boy. 19 rebounds is insane. He was boy. 19 rebounds is insane. He was really hustling, bro. He was really like. And a guard. And you had 35. You know when it's time for Jimmy to, like, something about to happen, Jimmy start killing.
Starting point is 00:22:16 Oh, crazy, bro. Contract year, he want to get traded. Whatever it is, Jimmy. Like, lock work. He always be like, to the point where you like, damn, we need him. Or damn, we need a pound. Like, he know what he's doing.
Starting point is 00:22:30 He's super calculated, bro. That's crazy he could play in the league like that. Bro, he's so calculated. Also, he's a killer every night, bro. I'm still laughing at the point. Like, he might get traded to the Suns, so he got his braids orange. Like, he be trolling.
Starting point is 00:22:44 He's super trolling. And I'm still going to kill. I don't give a fuck which I'm talking about. That's why I love Jimmy's brother. He going to kill in regards. He a fried individual. Like, too many people can do that in the NBA. If Jimmy want to be top five in the league, he could.
Starting point is 00:22:58 Like, sometimes he just be chilling. Yeah, he pick and choose his battles for sure. He said, I killed him postseason, what matters? Fact, I feel like he truly feels like that. I help everybody get paid on a regular season.

Starting point is 00:23:44 drained, bro. it was over with that nigga they had that Popeye's lady that's forever funny yeah that's forever funny you know what's so crazy about that we really stressing people out over that damn chicken sandwich bro
Starting point is 00:23:55 oh god we messed up a whole lot of people mental health over that damn sandwich that shit mid bro so weak I ain't gonna say Jeff Jeff is a tough critic I ain't gonna say it's weak
Starting point is 00:24:05 well how y'all clown about man that bitch being sold out every day for a week people buying them up for 300 yeah people was reselling chicken sandwiches bro i'm like what i didn't catch on that way chicken would never i didn't get on that way that that damn california burger on 16th was laughing when they first... That was fucking pressure, though. That's how he looks. You phone California burger?
Starting point is 00:24:32 I remember the Popeye's on 86th Street, but that was close. 2 o'clock in the afternoon, they just had signs up. We don't have no more sandwiches. That's the weakest Popeye's in the whole earth. I don't do that. You're not going to disrespect... Orlando Brown and them sisters. Orlando definitely made that chicken sandwich. Orlando don't do that. Nah, you're not going to disrespect the girl's family in there? Orlando Brown and them sisters and working there?
Starting point is 00:24:46 Orlando definitely made that chicken sandwich. Orlando ain't in there. Not in there. These people, they... That's probably the most hype sandwich ever, though. No cap.
Starting point is 00:24:53 Yeah, man. Y'all crazy. Listen, you talked about it earlier this season, the Pistons, man. Different team than last year. If you look at the totals from last year,
Starting point is 00:25:01 it's totally different. They're in a great space right now. Even though they ain't winning all these games, they're still competing. What's the difference to you so far? Cade Cunningham's coming into his own. Like last year, it's totally different. They're in a great space right now. Even though they ain't winning all these games, they're still competing. What's the difference to you so far? Cade Cunningham's coming into his own. Like you said, he's a star.
Starting point is 00:25:10 But they also got some more capable veterans, like getting Tobias Harris and, like you said, Malik Beasley and these guys who can play at a high level, can make shots, been around the league for a long time, and helping these young guys develop. They have more, you know, team camaraderie. It seems like everybody on that team like each other.
Starting point is 00:25:29 So, JB Biggestaff doing a good job. I mean, he tried to make it over like an old school team. They got to wear suit and tie type shit
Starting point is 00:25:35 on the bench. But that's crazy. But I guess it's working for him. He said no hoodies. Hey, bro, chill out. Grow that ass man, bro. That's crazy. Fucking my swag, dude.
Starting point is 00:25:46 But he's looking at that shit. Have y'all seen each other last year? Y'all gonna do what the fuck I tell y'all to do. Pretty much, but nah, they a better team now. I think, like you said, K. Cunningham might make the All-Star team. For sure, man. He going crazy as well, man. Look at some of the young talent. That's elite numbers, bro.
Starting point is 00:26:01 23, 10, and 7. That's elite numbers for sure. Man, I think they're the team that they could possibly, maybe not this year, but get another savvy vet or they can get another piece and they can be a dangerous team for real, man. They need another dynamic player, though. Like, K. Cunningham is great. They need another guy that can get a bucket.
Starting point is 00:26:21 I don't know who's another wing. They need DeMar DeRozan. Damn, you're going to send him to Sacramento to Detroit? I mean, they need another player on his last day. Don't send me to Detroit, bro.
Starting point is 00:26:37 I'm saying they need a player like him. They got the bigs. Find a younger Debo, bro. Who a younger Debo? I don't know. Don't send my nigga there. Hey, man. I'm going to let y'all do y'all Detroit thing.
Starting point is 00:26:49 We not sending Bo there. I love Detroit. I'm pissed off on Deebo. If I'm trying to go get a ring, bro, don't send me to Detroit, bro. I mean, I'm just saying what they need to get over the hump. But I don't know who. I'm saying Deebo available. MPJ.
Starting point is 00:27:03 Hell no. Oh, send him to Detroit? No. Oh, it's up. See MPJ some buffs. It's going crazy. He didn't get tightened up anyway. Nah, nah.
Starting point is 00:27:10 He don't fit to what I'm talking about. He didn't get tightened up anyway. I ain't want nobody to just shoot. None of these guys get buckets. Nah, I hope something on him were to throw it at that seat. Let's go. Turn it up.
Starting point is 00:27:19 Nah, nah, nah. Because, no, I'm not no sitting boat. I don't even know who another scorer that you can move over there to play with them niggas though, bro. But you need somebody who a real sc sitting boat. I don't even know who another scorer that you can move over there to play with them niggas, though, bro. But you need somebody who a real scorer, though. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:27:29 Because Cade Cunningham, he getting a lot of buckets in. Jaden Ivey is good, but I don't think he's like a scorer, scorer. Yeah, they need somebody a little bit more aggressive for sure. Like a certified bucket. Like it's a certified bucket. Send your boy Zach Levine to Detroit damn I don't know
Starting point is 00:27:50 if Detroit want that he don't fit the gritty I'm looking for he get out there and shoot more than K bro it's gonna be a problem and you know Zach is on that
Starting point is 00:27:56 I don't know I don't know if he gritty enough like I like Detroit when it's dirty oh okay K like I don't like pretty Detroit gritty enough. I like Detroit when it's dirty. Oh, okay, K. I don't like pretty Detroit shit.
Starting point is 00:28:08 Coney Island, okay. Turn you up. You ought to send Malik Monk over there then. He the only trench baby left out there. He still be putting up buckets. Double L. Shout out to Detroit, man. But he already survived the Hornets, bro.
Starting point is 00:28:20 Don't send him to the business. He a trench baby, though. Detroit got a certain way it got to play. It got to be grimy. Like when you think about the old Pistons team, they play hard. Even when you think about Rip Hamilton, it was like hard.
Starting point is 00:28:34 But they, you right, bro. You're not wrong, but I'm saying like they, all of them had toughness to them. Mm-hmm. Kay Cunningham is damn near drizzy. He ain't. Nah, but if you watch him play, he played with a certain type of toughness to them. K. Cunningham is damn near drizzy.
Starting point is 00:28:45 He ain't. Nah, but if you watch him play, he play with a certain type of toughness. He a big guard. He be running people over. I'm just saying, I don't think he's as like... Nah, you gotta peep him, though. He might be Rip Hamilton of that team. Attitude-wise, bro, I'm not
Starting point is 00:29:01 talking about play. Nah, he's Chauncey Billups, bro. If we're talking about attitude, I might have to give him Rip, bro.

Starting point is 00:30:01 Ron Artest. No, we need you to be productive. Rod Artest was that crazy where Rod Artest averaged 26 at one point in the NBA. So it was okay. He averaged a nine and six. That's off the bench.
Starting point is 00:30:15 Yeah, I'm saying. Nah, I'm sleep. They need one more killer that just... He could be on my team any day. I was there. Got Ross Brewer in there. I'm rolling with that.
Starting point is 00:30:29 I mean, it's a good game. That's good. I'm rolling with that. I see the upside of him. Yeah, bro. He's going to be really good. But around him, the organization and some of the stuff I'm hearing, they don't feel as high as him that they were before.
Starting point is 00:30:40 So that's why I said I could see him being moved in a situation. You got insiders too? A little bit. A little bit. Niggas kill me, boy. I don't know see him being moved in this situation. You got insiders too? A little bit. A little bit. Niggas kill me, boy. I don't know about DJ. DJ speaks for himself.

Starting point is 00:32:02 I might be pulling my jersey back I might get my my jersey back out. I might get my ring. Damn, man. I hate this matchup. Yeah, keep that shit folded. I hate it so fucking cold, man.
Starting point is 00:32:12 I'm going with my guys, though. I'm going with the Thunder, man. It's tough because... Fuck. I've won against the Thunder once. It gets better judgment, right? And they keep showing that they're the same team consistently every night. It's just like you said with the Bucks, bro. When they feel like winning, bro.
Starting point is 00:32:24 When Damian Lillard decides, I'm about to go win this shit in the fourth, bro. It gets spooky's just like you said with the Bucks, bro. When they feel like winning, bro, when Damian Lillard decides I'm about to go win and shouldn't afford, bro, it gets spooky. They just don't have the players I think that can deal with Giannis and deal with him. But they are a great-ass team.
Starting point is 00:32:32 It's going to be a hell of a game tonight. If I had to put my money on it, I'd go with the Bucks just because... I wouldn't be surprised if OKC win. Yeah, I wouldn't either.
Starting point is 00:32:40 They're a great team. They have a great team. And it's the same thing for them. It's going to be a springboard for them to get to the finals. We all had a really good year last year. It was like, can they do it again? And now look at them in the championship game of the play, whatever this is called, the in-season tournament.
Starting point is 00:32:55 This could be a springboard for them getting to the finals. But I feel like the Bucs need this more than the Thunder, though. For sure. Just because of the start that they had. For sure, for sure. These niggas counting them out. I figured than a Thunder, though. For sure. Just because of the start that they had. For sure, for sure. Niggas counting them out. I figured it was early, bro. Hey, that's a scary team when they get to clicking, bro.

Starting point is 00:34:52 Well, I don't know. Zion was special. So Cam, I mean, not Cam, but Barrett should have passed the ball a little more. Oh, he definitely should have passed the ball. He should have passed a little more. Zion was that nigga. He said, bro, I'll mark your beard. Zion. But I thought Cam a little more. Zion was that nigga. He said, bro, I'm RJ Barrett. Zion. But I thought Cam Reddish was better than him.

I ain't saying RJ did, but that nigga looked like Jordan on the AAU. RJ was number one, though. I don't hear too many niggas speaking on RJ Berry saying they used to kill them
Starting point is 00:35:38 and it was spooky when they played them at 8 a.m. in the morning, bro. Some of them Saturday nights. I mean, Saturday mornings. But respect to RJ. He was. He was a killer. Nah, for sure. Them war stories we all talk about.
Starting point is 00:35:49 Like, I ain't even talking about you lately. I can't read this dog dust, but RJ Barrett was giving everybody in the nation.

We dive into the competitive world of streaming, how she's turning so-called niche into mainstream gold, connecting audiences with stories that truly make them feel seen. What others dismiss as niche, we embrace as core.

Starting point is 00:42:11 Get a front row seat to where media, marketing, technology, entertainment and sports collide. And hear how leaders like Anjali are carving out space and shaking things up a bit in the most crowded of markets.

Starting point is 00:55:06 We ain't ask a question. He's crazy. Who is Noah Clowney? We asked a question. He's a nut ass nigga because the Ben Simmons clocked that nigga in the head. That's his teammate, nigga.
Starting point is 00:55:17 He threw the magic and he ain't playing defense. Ben knew he was supposed to step up. He cuts that nigga in the field, Ben. That's why niggas
Starting point is 00:55:27 don't pass it up in the NBA. These stupid ass niggas ain't paying attention. Fucking up my stats. You got me at that. Now listen, I'm going to tell you right now,
Starting point is 00:55:36 Ben Simmons is crying about his stats. It's a totally different conversation than it used to be had. Ben said, fuck it, I'm not stepping up. Nah, he said,
Starting point is 00:55:43 I'm not rotating, bro. He knew that play was coming. I want Ben Simmons to go to the Celtics. Who my nigga with the fro, though? Right here, running back. There's so many different niggas in the NBA now. Nah, I'm saying, nigga with the fro, he ain't even locked in. You know you the ball.
Starting point is 00:55:57 He ran straight to the corner. He ain't got to load up to the ball. He hit it with that. That ain't my man. Watch me. He ain't load up to the ball. He got his back turned. Oh my God. Yeah, bro. What kind of waffle

Starting point is 00:56:40 Hey, y'all, we never mentioned Ben. There's a reason. I swear we never mentioned Ben That's crazy As a matter of fact I'm going to be respectful Because Ben covered for me Twice last week
Starting point is 00:56:49 I'm going to show some love I need him to get a couple assists He covered the lay for me So no smut on Ben Simmons From my part I want him to go to the Celtics And really hoop bro I want him to go to a contender
Starting point is 00:56:57 And actually play basketball Seriously again I think that would be Fucking hilarious If Ben went to another team This season And started hooping for real Or just being consistent
Starting point is 00:57:03 The NBA world would be In shambles, bro. We probably need to be on a good team. That'll probably happen. He just playing mind games at the NBA. He getting paid, bro. Just fuck it. Might get well soon going to the Utah Jazz
Starting point is 00:57:14 because getting outscored by one person in the quarter is crazy. I know James Harden is a legend, but that's out of pocket, y'all. Yeah, I'm sick of Utah, too.

An all-white team in the NBA would be hilarious. And give us Hardenstein at the final. Nah, he not white, bro. But it only could work if he black.
Starting point is 00:58:28 It could only work in Utah, though. Hardenstein black? Yeah, if daddy black. Oh, my bad, Nasty. You still, you half a half. But it would only work
Starting point is 00:58:36 in Utah, though. It will, yeah. That's what I'm saying. It would only work in Utah. I think you could put seven solid players on the Utah team that are all white
Starting point is 00:58:43 and they'd be decent. All right, who would be your seven? I'd put Peyton Pritchard, Tyler Hero. You're going to put Tyler Hero in Utah? Yeah. That's going to be like Youngboy out there. Nah, nah, nah.
