The Volume Good morning. Happy Monday. 520. The Morning, your favorite sports show. Here to keep you up to date in everything in the sports world related. I am DJ Wells, the host joined this morning by my two brothers to my left, Bishop to my right,

my brother T, but listen, it's March Madness, so it's only right. We got the expert college basketball, man. 520 MOOC pulled up this morning, brother, how you doing, man? And I'm good, y'all know I had to come in, man, stop with the fan one time. For sure, man, listen, man,

March Madness is officially started, man. We got the conference tournaments took place. Selection Sunday was yesterday, man. Let's just talk about it, man. How you feeling so far with the tournament? I feel like they starting off on their own foot, letting North Carolina in, bro. Just cause they, AD is the head of the selection,

Sunday thing, that's crazy, bro. Yeah, North Carolina being 11 play in is absolutely disgusting. If you watch anything about North Carolina this year, I know my dog, I know that's your squad, but y'all should definitely be in NIT this year for sure. I mean this is mook first day, I'm gonna let him get his shit out.

That's nasty work. Where you gonna start off, we always arguing, I'm gonna let him do your college shit boy. Man that is nasty work. I would've took IU over to him bro. Never, never. Comparable seasons. Never bro.

And if you look at the UNC schedule, boy they don't have no big wins. They have like one big win. Lost to Duke three times. My schedule heavy, bro. They do got a super, super, super strength to schedule, but their wins are no qualities. At all.

It don't matter, bro. You gotta get something. Now I'm about to get on the same hay train because Louisville is in the same conference as them, and we are AFC, and we played a decent schedule out of conference as well, bro. Yeah, I got the ACC was down. ACC was terrible this year.

ACC was so bad that y'all good wins, that's usually good wins, aren't good wins. Like beating Virginia usually is a good win. Virginia was awful. It was a bad win this year. This is definitely one of the worst years of ACC history. It is the worst year, literally the worst year. Like Florida State used to be a quality,

when there was always a quality tournament game. Tech, all that. Hey, when they come to Florida State, they say, hey, pay them kids. He's like, yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and retire. Yeah, he says so. That's why they had a bad year. He was trying to get out of there.

Like Miami usually was a tournament thing. It was just a bad, bad year for the ACC. For sure, man, that's crazy. Your collabing and the playing is crazy as well. We talked about a little bit on the pod, but Texas is a game as a playing gonna be far too So now my boy Ryan Conwell come on like I feel like they gonna get that win to mm-hmm I like Johnson be tough, but I feel like a Xavier's got a better team than them bro. Okay, I really do. Yeah Mmm interesting game. I hope Ryan plays well, but I think Texas is going to win.

For sure. All right, now we got the bracket up here. What are you feeling like? Number one seed, did they get it right? Yeah, I like Duke a lot. I like Auburn. Respectable number one seed. Houston is the one seed.

I like Houston. And Florida. Florida tough. So St. John's got one of those one seeds? I wouldn't have been mad. I wouldn't have been mad at it. They could have took Florida's spot, I think. I wouldn't have been mad at it.

Okay. I think Florida, they're going to at least do at least eight. Okay. They got a good team. Florida got bigs at Supermobile. With the bigs that they got, they make it difficult to play. I watched them play Auburn one time. And Auburn was trying to switch these small dudes on their bigs and their bigs that they got, they make it difficult to play. I watched them play Auburn one time.

And Auburn was trying to switch these small dudes on their bigs and their bigs could handle the ball, crashing the glass. It just was a bad fit. And they coach said, I only recruit bigs that can dribble past you. So they put you in the bind. I'm talking about their bigs at 6'10, 6'11, able to handle pressure. So they got a perfect team to make a deep run in the tournament Oh, it's definitely a little bit of foreshadowing here because like you said Florida's right there to one seat

They would have to play the winner between Yukon Oklahoma, which could be a trap game because you kind is a AC right now But they got championship pedigree. I know they got the same rosters there No, you know they can't you know today give a challenge. No, okay No, but so far if you get up if you know say accelerate a little bit You could possibly get Maryland vs Florida that be tight and That'd be a great yeah Talk about one of the best premier big man in the nation to get that big team before. Yeah He was an overseas white guy. He would be the number one pick bro. Fuck your shit, Mo. He would bro. He really good

He's cold. I went and watched him play the other day. He's cold bro. I agree with that. He can shoot Mm-hmm, he been shooting but he can shoot the ball, bro. He's cold. The only thing about if they meet up with Florida, Florida got so many big. They do. They just got good athletes. He's not the most athletic player. He's a very, very skilled player. But the people around him, they're solid.

They're not overly great. They're good. But he's just special. But I think Florida would be a tough matchup for him. That's a good point, you can't be black and be built like that. Hey bro, I ain't holdin' against you bro. If you black you gotta be athletic bro.

That's a fact bro. So Bonnie Shaven only works with black people in sports, that's cool. It's not too many people that play like him that's black. Yeah, so damn that's a good call, I ain't talkin' about that. And the funny part about it is in the NBA, we be knowing everybody's name that we talking about

this bill like that, Boris Deol, Oliver Miller, RIP, all the people, Popeye Jones. He not even bill like that, he bill like. He tall. He bill like Luca Jokic. Jokic, he just like them, bro. He just move like them. He move like them.

Yeah. All right, RIP Oliver Miller and them, they was a big thing. Oliver Miller was escalating. No, I'm just talking about, we just know about they them, they was a big, big game. Oliver Miller was Esquire. No, I'm just talking about, we just know about they build as black people, that's crazy. RIP.

Which I don't know where a first-year might go. I like Maryland though, because they kind of like St. John's, bro, they play defense. I like teams that get after it on defense. Can we go back to the bracket real quick? How far you think Maryland can go?

Let's go down a little bit for me. They make Sweet 16, bro. Sweet 16 at least? So we talk about that Florida team, St. John's is a two-seed in that bracket. Their arguably should down a little bit. Make Sweet 16, bro. Sweet 16 at least. So we talk about that Florida team. St. John's is a two seed in that bracket. Their arguably should be the number one. That'd be a hell of a game if it goes to the, yeah. It's gonna be a scrappy game.

Super scrappy. Florida guard too though. Yeah. St. John's defense is elite. Come on, you know Uncle Rick back in the mix. You know what time it is. St. John's can damn near walk to the 16. St. John's can guard,

but I don't know if they can score or not. That bottom half trash over there. Arkansas St. John's game might be crazy. Oh, nah, they'll beat the Bricks over there. That's all I want to think. Yeah, they damn near can walk. They'll have DJ in hell, bro. No faith in the boot?

Nah. They said Boogie even might be playing in tournaments? That'll help, though, but I don't know. Of everything. That'll help a lot. Nah, they guard like, I ain't, I've never seen people guard. Bro, they trying to take the ball from you, they guard like, I ain't never seen people guard.

They trying to take the ball from you, like full court every possession. That's an old school AAU for sure. They can walk to that 16. Okay, now I got to ask you about the alma mater. Kentucky getting a three seed. Let's talk about it. We'll take it.

That's crazy. We'll take it. That is crazy. I know that SEC was a prized possession this year in college basketball, but damn. Three seed Kentucky. Shout out to my guys. SEC was a special conference this year though.

They only got two teams that didn't get in. LSU and South Carolina. Oh, so they earned that three seed then. Yeah, the SEC. Our whole whip fire. Everybody. What, was it 14 teams, something crazy like that? Yeah.

It's tough. Every night you got a great game. Yeah, that's earned. That's earned for sure. Yeah, we'll take it. They got a, I'm going to say a cool road to make it. It's just if they can get past, I think they could beat Illinois.

Yeah, Illinois is trash. Yeah, but I don't think them, I don't know about them beating Tennessee. Tennessee guard like them. That's tough. Nah, we're going to know. But they didn't already beat Tennessee, so it'll be a good one. And that's a them. That's tough, gotta be a tough one. Nah, we're gonna. But they didn't already beat Tennessee, so it'll be a good one.

Yeah, but I don't know twice. And that's a conference matchup too. It'll be a good one. I don't know twice. I ain't worrying about UCLA or none of them. The Kentucky problem is they lost their best player to shoot off, I forgot his name. Yeah, dude got a burner.

They needed him. Can we scroll up a little bit, please? Houston, could they possibly lose a second matchup to either Gonzaga or Georgia? No, they too tough like, Gonzaga too soft for them. They play bully ball. They play like St. John's. St. John's play hard, rebound, all that. Now a lot of people are questioned about Houston. They're like, all right we always put money in the window and every time we get here it gets dicey. I was thinking that too. I think the same thing about Auburn. Okay. I look at them thing about Auburn. Mm, okay.

I look at them the same, bro. You know why Houston, they didn't win last year, they point guard got hurt. Yeah. This year, they can stay healthy. I ain't gonna lie, I got them going to the four for sure. Yeah, I was gonna say, look down at Purdue and Clemson, that might be a good game as well.

Yeah, yeah, Houston in the final four. Yeah. Yeah, if you look at- Houston Colt, bro. If you're looking from that standpoint right there, yeah, I can see that too. I got Houston, St. John's Duke that's my three. I don't know the other ones gonna be a little skeptical now You're gonna say definitely um Duke you look at that right there. Yes looking like they're definitely gonna get to the final four

For sure we need to fill out some bright. I'm gonna probably make it though, to be honest. Okay. They probably will. I'm not a fan of Auburn. Looking at their schedule, they might make it. And their team is 40. Everybody on their team is 20. I mean everybody in college 40 now. You know what I'm saying, they got the oldest NCAA tournament

of all time right here. Bro, they got one doing their team that's 26, bro. That's fine, bro. They said they are older than OKC. Yeah, their team is older than OKC. They is. You got a dude that's 26. You are older than okay see yeah You got a new that you may order the league MVP is crazy. Yeah, I got doing a team that's 26 years old I really got mad Like bro, go home. So so it's literally no. Yeah, they're arguing with kids. It's no age What's the name in college basketball? Yeah, look. It was just eligibility. He got a family, bro.

He should have a nice time. Why are you going to class, bro? You're at 26, bro. He's supposed to be in his second building. Now y'all going back. When I was jokin' on these niggas earlier, y'all felt the way. Talkin' about Darby, they let him get they chicken. Let them eat.

I'm stayin' too, as long as I can, bro. They gonna pay me. 26 is crazy, bro. What's dude name that's 26 on Harbin, bro? He a star too. That's him, right? Ice-Can Buddy. Yeah, yeah.

Hell, bro. San Diego 40. How is he that old in college, bro? You go to college. You go to college at 18, bro. 18, bro. Average in 12 and 30. I'm hitting the professors, bro.

I ain't gonna keep it a bean bro, you're definitely sad bro. You're 25 averaged in 12 in college bro. See? I ain't trying to hate him bro. I just took him somewhere who actually played. 25? They ain't gonna say nothing to you because you played. It's okay. What I said is wrong.

25 is crazy. 25 is old. I said if you're supposed to be in college at 25, you're a prom in the league right now. Bro, I said if you're 22, 23 in college, bro, you're damn much supposed to have an average 30. I said that early before this shit started. If I told Nareed he went back to school at 23 a 25

12 at 25, please bro got a career something you live it on campus Okay Least bro got a career, some of them know you're living on campus. They are not allowing him to live on campus. We can't have you out there. Your league time is definitely up. I ain't trying to hate on his journey, but he probably won't make the league. Nah, that's over. You're too old. You already made the league, just the league for him?

Nah, yeah, that's why I'm saying they're getting paid, so it's cool. Super chat called Morose for a guy like Johnny Bruin playing his fifth year in college. Y'all think he deserved a cosplay of the year over Cooper Flag. No. No. No, bro. No, you don't qualify. It's too long, bro. You had eight years to get it, bro.

Sorry, respect. I don't like it. Yeah, that's great. I gotta apologize, Cooper Flag is cold. I hated on him a little bit. He's that cold. I appreciate that, bro. He is cold.

He's still an energy player, but he's cold. I appreciate it. However y'all want to cut it. What, he on their team too? Yeah, their whole team. Oh, they're whole team. He is cold. He's still an energy player, but he's cold. I appreciate it. However y'all want to cut it. What? He on their team too? Yeah, their whole team. Oh, they whole team. Oh, nigga. Well, he after 18 at least.

Yeah, he killed him. He after 18 at least. He won too, yeah. Okay, nice. I think he only like 22 though. He one of the younger ones, but he old. Yeah, he just been around. But he did a fifth year in school.

That's cool. He's a real student. 26 is crazy. He had a cold year. This. Yeah, yeah, that's cool. He's a real student. 26 is crazy. He had a COVID era, yeah. This nigga went straight from high school, you know what I mean, college, this his fifth year, he on his way out. We know he's gonna be crazy.

When that Juco rule get implemented, when boys get that free, two years. Niggas gonna be old as fuck, bro. It's already, it's right now. It's right now. You can do four years. You get two years at Juco, and then four in college. Yeah, niggas can do four years at Joliet,

then another six at UConn. That's crazy. Hey, that's the one that go back for a better tournament. That's fire, bro. Shout out to them, though. They try to bring college back, bro. They had to. By any means.

Before we get off the subject, we talk about NIO all the time, man. Would you possibly be going back to school your sophomore year if they had updated NIO? Definitely, bro. They give me two million, I'm coming back. Why not? I'm coming back, why not? I'm running it back. Damn. Easy choice. That's crazy, because we were talking about

some of the premier guards that are going to be in the portal this year. Someone offer you 2.5, you got to go. Yeah, like dude from Purdue, bro. They going to offer him the bag. He's got to take it, I don't care. They give you three million dollars, you got to go. You transferring from UK too though?

For three million? Yes. Easily. It's not even about schools no more. It's not million dollars, you gotta go. That's like awesome. You transferring from UK too though? For three million? Yes. Easily. It's not even about schools no more. It's not about coaches, none of that. It's about who got the biggest bag, bro. Flat out. Yeah.

But it kind of plays a double edged sword because it could be great, you got the bread, but you gotta look at some of them kids that went to Miami and they the worst team. Some of them had NBA dreams, overseas dreams. They were so bad this year that you didn't even pay attention to Miami and they the worst team. Some of them had NBA dreams, overseas dreams. They were so bad this year, you didn't even pay attention to Miami. Nah, once you give money too early,

it's gonna mess you up. And think about even our young boy that went there, Jalen Blackman. Oh, Jalen Blackman. Like, he had a super year last year. Killed. Went to Miami and not to discredit him, but I ain't heard from him since.

Yeah. I think you got heard too, cause I was watching the games, I ain't seen him playing. I mean, see, he could have got hurt, but that's my point. Like, we ain't even checking in. Yeah, grass ain't always greener. Yeah, we ain't even checking in.

So you can get the money and I understand the money. At least you got three million to sit on though. I mean like, it's better than, some people crash out and don't get nothing. Yeah I mean, but if your main thing is the main thing is like trying to get to where you want to be in this NBA overseas. Yeah, I get it. But if it ain't ain't your thing a lot of trying to get some bread and Whatever happen happen. Hey, I don't have to and I've been to these campuses, that's what they own. They don't care about none of the hoop stuff no more. That's what scared me though,

because when you get this money, shit, what if you don't really know how to save it and spend it? That's gonna happen to some people. That's part of it. That's part of it. It's life. Some people go crash out. Because you get three million,

and your mama ain't never had none. We working on that three million right now. That's up. You know what I'm saying? That three million being spent. Also also you get that three million, you better perform. Cause you see what they on now, boys, is all you did average for 10 years.

We ain't getting this payment. But it ain't even that. Not giving me my payment is crazy. That's overseas. They going to get paid, but the thing is it's even worse. Cause once your value get up to three, like you got three million.

If you don't perform, your value shoots all the way back down. So let's just say you're a sophomore and they offer you three million, you got it, and you ain't hoop, you're not getting that no more. Now your value that went down, you back to 800,000. It's like, boy, your life is like this. Yeah. And your confidence is shot.

You not take the money? I'm not, you take the money, but just, I'd rather, I'd rather take is shot. You not take the money? I don't know, you take the money, but I'd rather take the basketball decision. Me, personally. I would too. Me, but knowing how these kids is, they taking whatever bad coming their way. I think Ryan Conwell, not to speak on his personal money, I know he got offered more money to go to different schools.

Great choice. And he could have went to NC State for more money money and look how bad NC State was this year. And he made a basketball choice. It might not have been the most money he could've got, but made a basketball choice. And he having a good year. He just had 40. Out there hooping, most of Big E's tournament for sure.

Super Chat to a reporter asks, I've been getting killed for saying Cooper flagged not a number one option on the NBA team. Was I tripping? Be here? What? Can't be, can't capture the flag, can't be a number one option?

Not right now. Okay. Not right now. Y'all see it check? Nah, he a utility guy. He gonna work hard, play defense, run the floor, get dunks, hit an occasional three. If you watch him play, he don't just,

he score in a variety of ways. Like pickin' rows, he might hit a three, crash the glass, run the floor. That's not like first option buckets. He not a Zion, he don't have that Zion Williams in effect right now. But he'll make a team really good. He'll make a team good, but he,

a first option effect is when you see somebody play, you'd be like, oh, I give him the ball, he's gonna go crazy. Like, when you used to see Brandon Miller when he was in college, you'd be like, yeah. Gays coach. Yeah, yeah. How y'all feel about Ace Bailey and Harper like being top 10 picks but Rucker was terrible this year?

It's deep in the red, bro. We was preparing for the NBA, bro. I get it, but like y'all gotta have some type of effect on winning, bro. You're not supposed to be this good. We've been speaking on them all year, bro. We getting out the mud, bro. It's open jail.

No, they should've let them in the tournament for GP. They should have made them a full on player. You can't put young dudes like that around some, y'all team was ass last year. So you can't just be like, we're about to bring in two dudes that. I ain't saying they had to be the best team, but they could have been cool. 15 to 17 is crazy. Yeah, but you guys think y'all gotta bring some,

it gotta be somebody else there that's like. Cole get a couple 24 year olds. Yeah. They've been around a way. True, they gave them all the money. I was gonna say, they took all the NAO budget. It's no ruckus, they ain't had no bread, bro. No matter, bro.

That's what I'm saying. Give me some vets around here, bro. I need a little help. That's why if I was a college coach I would never take this route. Cause my job is up. Like nobody's going to Rutgers next year. It's dead.

Yeah it's over. It's over. So now you had your one year of shine and it was terrible so you about to be fired. Gotta take the Latino method bro. Go get the older guys bro. Shout out to Rick. Mix them in though. I will just mix them in.

That's what I would do. I wouldn't go get seven freshmen, for what? I get one. I get one. I get one. Them was two quality ones though. I know, I'm just saying they couldn't, they couldn't give me a positive record.

This is a 30 year old white boy with a burner in the portal. I'm going to get it. I'm going to get it. I get two, I get one or two freshmen. I get one super cold freshman and I get one that was like number 40 in the country or something. It's going to be the one that's good.

Yeah, and then I get all old dudes that was on their way out, not making it to the league, but it was going to be good overseas and offer them more money to overseas contract Oh, she's both fuckers like Greg Paulus like I'm bringing them type of it College is now you're getting on them overage guards Jeff is right though about that coach bro. You put yourself in a bond. He put himself in a bond. Yeah he get wicked for sure. Super chat, Momo Mike, 23 eggs, Jeff and Moog,

which I ever considered coaching college basketball. Definitely. Okay. Definitely. Shout out to Luke, that's hard. Miami, that's fire. Elite. Yeah, that's dope shit.

Flip the boots of twins down to Miami bro, go ahead and make it happen. That ain't gonna happen. I can see it though, but it probably ain't gonna happen. Yeah, their daddy too locked it in bro. He's Duke to Miami, bro. Go ahead, make it happen. That ain't gonna happen. I can see it though, but it probably ain't gonna happen. Yeah, their daddy too locked in, bro. He's Duke to the core. We was talking to him on the bus about it. We always talk to him on the Sprinter.

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, the Sprint face about that. Yeah, he's not playing at all. He said Duke, for sure. Checker bag entertainment, LLC. Boy, you scamming already. As do college kids pay taxes on A.I.L. money, most definitely.

Everybody pay taxes. You don't pay taxes, a lot of money most definitely everybody For show me all right man Let's get to the NBA some couple dope games over the weekend for show the Thunder took care of the books yesterday 121 to 105 31 from SGA yesterday. He went crazy a rebounds as well I was a hard start hooked out with 24 12 and 3 y'all just had a triple double with 21 12 and 10 and Dame had 19 The Thunder man they've been locking up in this in the second half of games more importantly the fourth quarter man 12 and 3, Yannis had a triple double with 21, 12 and 10 and Dame had 19. The Thunder, man, they've been locking up in the second half of games. More importantly, the fourth quarter, man,

is this a good enough defense to give them a championship, y'all? Yep. Okay. I don't know about Yannis and the Bucks. I don't, the way they're playing right now, I'm not a fan of. Dame is really struggling right now. He's been having some tough games. playing right now I'm not a fan of. Dame is really struggling right now.

He's been having some tough games. We just gotta figure out the matchups in the playoffs for the Thunder. Why you think Dame can't figure it out in Milwaukee? I mean I think he's having a hell of a year. Even like last year, he playing good, he gonna play good, but it ain't the same, bro. I mean it's fluid as it should look like.

The team is not built around him. It's built around Yannis. Mm-hmm. So his The way he played like I said the other day. They don't look the same. It don't feel the same pause, but He's still effective But it's just hard to play when you got a you you know, he used to come off pin down screen, ball screens, he had another good dynamic guard with him that he could play off sometime and he don't got that right now. He don't got nobody else he can play off of.

He try to play off Yannis but it's different. Like when you play off another guard, create shots and create open shots for you, it's just different. Even that Patriots game Saturday, that's probably his best game he's had in the last week or so. He killed when Giannis was on the bench. And it was just like, when they staggered their men,

it's like that is cool, but then you have to rely on the role players. And sometimes they don't always be solid for them. Like if he played more with KPJ, cause he can create and he can do some stuff. He like a big point guard. It probably look a little different for Giannis. I mean, for Damon, I'm sure he liked playing with him.

Cause I've watched the game When it was in I think KPJ had a triple double and they was playing together and it looked kind of like not Damon CJ But you can get that little feeling a little bit. Yeah, and that's what he needed another dynamic guard when let him free up and play It's who sometimes open the floor How far you think the Thunder can go? I think they can make a final run I don't think they can win it because I don't think they can beat Boston, but I think they can go to the finals. They got a real superstar. So and then everybody else fall in line where how they supposed to.

Yeah, they role players be playing out of body for show now on NBA.com MVP ladder. They don't put Yoke instead of ahead of SGA. How we feel about that? I think they should just give it to SGA. That's just hating. But okay, Yoke is just having a greatGA. How we feel about that? I think they should just give it to SGA, bro. That's just hatin', but. Okay. Yoke is just having a great year, but it's the matchup stuff.

We talking about, can they make it to the road to the finals? Go back to the standards. If the Thunder have to play, if they say the Warriors fuck up and they got to run into the Warriors. That's tough. I don't know about the Thunder beating the Warriors. That's tough, bro. Yeah, especially with Kaminga back. That is tough. I don't know about the Thunder. That's tough, bro. Yes, that's what Camiga back.

That is tough. And then it's still questionable with like the Timberwolves. Because they playing great right now. Yeah, I think the Lakers going to give somebody trouble. Of course, they got two two dynamic players.

Lakers will beat the Grizzlies. Yeah, yeah, yeah. If it started today. But if it starts today and the Clippers. That's some crazy matchups. The Thunder and the Clippers, I'm gonna take the Thunder. Like that's the easy, I think they can sweep the Clippers. They runnin' the Golden State, that is tough.

But if they gotta play Golden State, I don't like the Thunder. Yeah. I don't like them. That experience gonna, it's gonna come out. Yeah, I don't like them. gone it's gonna come out That's a scary Jimmy brother made them a whole different team. Yeah, I don't like it. They gotta run to the woods Yeah, you said coming coming back. Come on, bro. You got SGA League MVP, but that's that's water Oh, boy, is the damage scared now for you? Come on, bro. Draymond back on this bullshit. You seen him with cat Yeah, they had different team for sure. Yeah

Get well soon to the bucks But the Lakers snap before game losing streak yesterday with a win 107 and 96 against the Sun's looking with crazy yesterday 33 11 and 8 also reads bounce back finally with 28 and 6 Katie had 21 and 9 and book had 19 and 11 man Jackson Hay said that Lucas the best PG in the NBA. Hey, I feel about that statement This teammate post to say what else you that statement? It's his teammate. Supposed to. Supposed to say it. Hey, what else you gonna say?

He's about to get me paid. Literally, him about to, Jackson Hayes is having a... He's on his way out. Most definitely. And he's about to get a bag. Jackson Hayes about to get eight million a year. Yeah, celebrate him. Every way you can, game.

But that also ain't a crazy thing to say, it is Lucas. Yeah, it's Luka Donadjus. Yeah, no, we ain't saying nothing wrong, but I'ma say it every day. Yeah, it's Luca Donner. Yeah, no, we ain't saying nothing wrong, but I'm gonna say it every day. It's different coming from Jackson. So I'll show Bob for sure. Yeah. This is us team, I'm trying to talk about them.

They have been trash all season. Everybody's wanting to bounce back. It hasn't happened. Yeah, they showed Bradley Bill dancing on the sideline. Said, yeah, he don't care, bro. Go. He had four points. Yeah.

He was wilder, bro. He had four points. He was wild, bro. You gotta trade. You never gonna be able to trade Bradley Beal. I already told you. I'm not leaving. I'm not leaving. So, KD gotta go. But I wouldn't give up my team for KD.

Not saying KD ain't great. We know he cold. But I don't have a choice. I'm not giving up my team. I can't. He on ain't great, we know he cold. But, y'all don't have a choice. I'm not giving up my team. Like, yeah. I can't, he on his way out, bro. It ain't even that, like y'all suck. I know y'all don't wanna keep him.

Y'all don't wanna keep paying all this money. Ain't no leverage. Yeah, like. And don't let him get to a point to where he say, all right, I'm out, then y'all really gonna be screwed. Yeah, they say give Chad up for him. Would y'all do that? No.

I don't either, I was like, no. I give him three first round picks. You would be here? Oh no, I would say hell no. They know I don't, I don't like all this trading stuff. I let them do that, but I don't really rock with all this trading. I give up three first round picks

and one of them young players, but it wouldn't be Jalen or Shay. Can't do it. Yeah, you got, or Lou Dort, you can't even get Lou Dort. Yeah, you can't get Lou Dort either, he a big get Lou Dort. Yeah, you can't get Lou Dort either. He a big piece for them. Yeah, you can't get Hardenstein, you can't get none of them.

You can't get nobody. Bro, I got Aaron Wick and it's three firsts on this and the second. Tagged it. That ain't what y'all said at first, though. I know, but now the price is going down. I was like, I was like, I was like. DJ didn't say that.

I was like, I was always, I was not. But when I made my bassist training package, it was out of pocket. DJ was sliding Chet to feed. I said, if that's what we gotta do. Hell no. If that's what we gotta do. I ain't going, bro.

I would love KD over there, but not for Chet. I think that the Minnesota Timberwolves can trade Randolph. What is his name, Randolph? What? Julius Randolph. He been hooping up. He been hooping up. Julius Randolph for him. Julius Randolph in the locker room.

Okay, I'm sure he forgot his name, bro. I ain't gonna lie, I'm tired. If all the feedings touch, hey, I know I gotta make a deal, but don't call me by Julius Randolph, my nigga. No. That's your better option. I'm not trading KD for Julius Randolph. For the million dollar. You gonna get a first round. You about to put Julius Randolph with Devin Booker and think you about to get better? No I'm not trading Katie for this rental

You gotta put do this rental with Devin Booker think you bout to get better Not getting anything But you have to pay them oh the sons are gonna have to pay they paying Katie already Julius run up much as you paying Kevin Durant. You think they can fuck about some money at this point? I was just like. Fuck it. They just try to make the deal, yeah. What I'm saying is they about to pay Julius Render how much they paying Kevin Durant.

That's a fact. So you can trade him, make the pieces work, and then Minnesota can get Kevin Durant. Yeah. Or you can go get Rudy Gobert for him. I know they so mad they gave Brad that money, boy. Oh, they mean when got him they are sick. He's hitting a John Wall going to the bench I say yeah, he out of pocket. He played terrible tonight Shouts of Brad Beale go

I pay attention to Newsmax, One American News. I don't turn my back to the critics, but there is a sort of California derangement syndrome out there that is just sort of ridiculous. This notion that this is the only state that has challenges. It's just comedic, but it's damaging.

We record breaking tourism last year. We have a surplus again. We have a state with population growing again. You wouldn't know that. That's not prevalent. It's not part of the discussion. It's been engulfed by the fires. It's been engulfed by the fires.

It's a failed state, California. But you know, it's a failed state, you know, California, but for me, you know, it's a pride for me again, as a guy who lives here and cares about the state is to make a case anew for it. And I'm a little clintonia about it. There's nothing wrong with it. It can't be fixed with what's right with it. Listen to the new season of Here's the Thing on the iHeart Radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

It's Julie Stewart Banks. I'm doing a new podcast from iHeart Podcasts and the National Hockey League, and I'm paired up with one of my favorite players, the always quotable Nate Thompson. I wore nine NHL sweaters, and I have story after story to share. And believe it or not, I have plenty to say, and not just about hockey.

Believe me, he does. Energy Line with Nate and JSB is the name of the podcast and it's gonna be, well, it's gonna be quite the ride. We're officially line mates, Nate. We're the Energy Line. We'll have plenty of folks join us, current players, some of my former teammates, Hall of Famers, and wait to see some of the connections that Julie has.

She has quite the Rolodex. Okay, we'll lean into Nate's playing experience and tap into our interests away from hockey and try to do what energy lines are supposed to do, provide an emotional boost. How do you feel about all that, Nate? I'm vibing, Julie. I'm ready to roll. Listen to Energy Line with Nate and JSB on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. My name is Brendan Patrick Hughes, host of Divine Intervention.

This is a story about radical nuns in combat boots and wild haired priests trading blows with J. Edgar Hoover in a hell bent effort to sabotage a war. J. Edgar Hoover was furious somebody violated the FBI, and he wanted to bring the Catholic left to its knees. The FBI went around to all their neighbors and said to them, do you think these people are good Americans? It's got heists, tragedy, a trial of the century, and the God damnest love story you've ever heard.

I picked up the phone and my thought was, this is the most important phone call I'll ever make in my life. I couldn't believe it. I mean, Brendan, it was divine intervention.

All right, Super Chat R2T in game three of the 2015 Eastern Conference finals.

Tig, Brian, both sat on the court after finding a buzzer. What did that moment feel like? I lost. I don't know, I think I had 30 that game. I don't know, I thought we was supposed to win. Damn. Yeah, all right, hell of a question. The Magic snap to cast Fran Chiles, record 16 straight wins yesterday, 108 to 103.

P5 went crazy, 24, 11 and seven. Final swooped out as well with 22 and 8. Donovan Mitchell had 23 and 6 and Darius Garland had 19 and 6. Man, if this could be a potential first round matchup, this would be entertaining. I still think the Cavs win. But based off last year's, I think this would be a decent first round series

for sure. Magic just got killed by Andrews this year. That's a bad matchup for the Cavaliers. They got all those big wings. And that's where the Cavalaliers. They got all those big wings, and that's where the Cavaliers struggle. They don't have big wings. They got Deandre Hunter, but they come off the bench with

Acura and Struss, whatever the name is, Struss. All those dudes are smaller. P5 in them are 6'10". Franz is 6'10". These are some big old wings. He's like power fours, really. These niggas are eighth in the, Mike, can you go back to the standings?

Just a bad matchup. The East is, man. 32. The East is trash. Go to the West. Trash. Is the Cavs really this good? Man.

Or is this a fluke? Not a fluke, but like, is it not, it's full goat? Bro, they just be whooping shit, bro. I can't even, I don't even know what to say. They just be whooping shit. I feel like they get to the playoffs and they not gonna be like that. I think them getting D-Hunt helped that team, though.

Y'all, that's a good team, y'all. I think they got a good team. I'm just saying, I think it's a bad matchup. Nah, it is. They'll beat the Magic. The Magic, they'll beat them, but it's just like, it's one of them, like I said earlier, all they series is gonna go six or seven games and it's like,

Boston Celtics gonna go five sweeps. All this, so you finally gonna meet up with them, you all done played an extra eight games. And it's like, damn. That might wear in tear. Donovan Mitchell, he misses a lot of playoff games. Like, you know what I mean? He missed playoff games.

So the more games he play, more questions, you know, I got. Now we're starting to rank in the bull boss right now, if you don't mind me asking, cause I'm going to see how many games they could have to possibly smoke if they need to. Which you got seven basically, eight. Ah yeah.

So he could possibly rest out some towards the end of season. I'm talking about it. It don't matter once you get into the playoffs, you gotta play six or seven. If I give you enough cushion in the regular season, bro, you gotta be healthy. I'm just saying that happened last year when they played him. He got hurt or whatever year that was.

It was last year, right? Yeah, you got hurt. That makes a difference, bro. Going six or seven every round. Most definitely. Motherfuckers, I mean, in the finale, play everybody four times. And they get to rest a whole week

before playing us. We get a week off, they chilling. At the crib, too. No travel, yeah. That makes a difference, bro. For sure, man. Shout out to the Magic getting that dub yesterday. Let's see if they go. one eight is Magic first carats.

They win that, they gonna play the four or five matchup, which will be Bucs or Pacers. That's gonna be another six, seven game series, especially if they play the Bucs. Shit. They'll sweep the Pacers. They might get a four, a four game. You know I'll gladly take your money.

I need some new shoes. They might dust them. They won't sweep shit. They'll beat the Pacers. They'll beat us, but they won't sweep us. All right, I get y'all one. They're going six. They might four one the Pacers.

They're going six. See, look at the pros. Yeah, four one. Oh, now you're a leader of the pros. Ain't that some shit? Let, look at the pros. Yeah, 401. Oh, now you're a leader of the pros. Ain't that some shit? You're a leader of the guys. The Bucs might be a tougher matchup just because Giannis alone, but.

Damn, man. Yeah, man. I don't see the Patriots beating the Bucs. That's crazy. If you've watched the last two Patriots-Bucs games, you know that those games could really go either way because we both played crackhead basketball. I just think, damn, they were gonna turn it up.

The Bucks just got better players, bro. They do, they have two superstars. Y'all just saying, damn, bro, they just better. Well, we played them really, really well, though. That's why it'd be evening out. For whatever reason, we'd be having that number with you. You know how the playoffs coming out to these last couple little possessions.

They got better players, bro. I remember last year, it came down to us when the Childs of the Paisers. I'm rolling. The whole team was here. These was hard, you know, respect. Hey, I'm rolling. That whole team was here. These was hard. You know, respect. Hey, I'm just talking about what happened, bro.

Glory roll, glory roll. Coach, glory roll. Hey, that's some shit. Speaking of T-Woods, man, A straight win yesterday against the Jazz, 128 to 102, belt to ass situation for sure. 41 from A, he went crazy yesterday, man. Yeah, 41 and only two rebounds.

I love them stats. Yeah, bro, no assists. Straight buckets for sure. For sure, I mean, we still sad two rebounds. I love them stats. Yeah bro, no assists. Straight buckets for sure. I mean, we still sad, you know what I'm saying, but we holding it down, man. I'm just glad to see my boy back positive and out of the media talking crazy about his teammates.

Edgar Hoover in a hell-bent effort to sabotage a war. J. Edgar Hoover was furious somebody violated the FBI and he wanted to bring the Catholic left to its knees. The FBI went around to all their neighbors and said to them, do you think these people are good Americans?

It's got heists, tragedy, a trial of the century, and the God damnedest love story you've ever heard. I picked up the phone and my thought was, this is the most important phone call I'll ever make in my life. I couldn't believe it. I mean, Brendan, it was divine intervention.

Oh That wasn't injured for a lot of the year Yeah, I think that might be a part of it,

but I mean, if he's the number one player in New York, like they said, then he should have been. If Brian Son made it, Melo Son should have made it. I wanted to see if that's what y'all thought. Yeah, that's a landslide for me. You know how I feel about Ka'ann, like a real great lay bloomer. Yeah, he can really hoop.

Yeah, so, I don't know. Do y'all think it's disrespectful to Carmelo that he ain't make it? Yeah. Most definitely. That's how he got treated that he ain't make it? Yeah, most definitely. That's how he got treated. You don't hold weight like that. Basically, it's what they saying. So you think they look at Mello differently

than they look at Bronie? Obviously, but they did in the league, shit. I don't see why, but they do. Because Kyon is better than Bronie. Yeah. But you know what, I mean, obviously, you don't want to get slighted in no situation, but that might be his, he might fucking wanna go kill

Syracuse next year, just off the essence of the law. Every off extra slow every little game count. Yeah, I ain't gonna lie. He He that's a bad team Now they bad they are cuz he ain't he ain't getting blessed like his dad that was he don't got a hot king Work walking through there Jerry Mack. Yeah, hello six nine. He gonna make a difference It's just different though. Like the players like bro said it ain't the same. Yeah, he going into a difference. His son is 6'5". He's just different though, like the players, like bro said, it ain't the same. Yeah, he going into a bad situation. Mello didn't play against a 30 year old sophomore.

It was different. But I think Kyan, I think Kyan is good. I think his son is really, really good. I was just like disappointed that he didn't make the game. Cause I was like. Especially in a big city like that. Damn, it's off the strength, like playing in New York. Off the strength, my dad Mello. And he's good. Yeah, because I was like. Especially in a big city like that. Damn, it's off to strength, playing in New York, off to strength, my dad, Mello.

And he's good. Yeah, very capable, for sure. Yeah, I've been like, damn bro, if I'm Mello, I feel like a little disrespectful. I know he don't want him to make the game off his name. But still, show some love. Yeah, bro. They owe him for that.

I'm a legend, bro. Show some love. And my son, Ice. And he good. He was like, no offense, but like, I don't know somebody's son that was like a late bloomer didn't really have no love like that. Then I get it.

And off the strength of that, be sure, like former players love that ain't nowhere close resume as Carmelo Anthony. If you're gonna do that, keep it across the board, for sure. Come on, man.
