Those risks used to work. Now we did be like, he said some crazy shit about no, okay. What's for breakfast?
Starting point is 00:06:12 It's like, come on, bro. Yeah. But it's cerebral like that. Cause like, when you meet the people, like that's cerebral. We, at one point we would have loved to have Kanye on this platform. Now probably very lucky with that shit would happen. But it's like, man, niggas loved your music, bro.
Starting point is 00:06:24 Yeah. Kanye gonna be saying, like, man, niggas love your music, bro. Yeah. Kanye gonna be saying, we some ho ass niggas and we scared and we puppets and shit. I know what's coming. Yeah, you right. Yeah. We gotta stand down right now, that's true.
Starting point is 00:06:36 Yeah, I'm cool. You gotta get well, bro. Cool. Sit down for about five years and go back and visit. Yeah, I'm cool. Yeah, he definitely got cool off for sure. We always joke about the Porter over here, but y'all see Tennessee quarterback?
Starting point is 00:06:49 Yeah, he set out. Yeah, Friday they had the, you know what I'm saying, quote unquote, spring get together practice, stuff like that. So hold on, I ain't with that citizen, now y'all get right. Yeah, I need two more million before I start practice. Y'all letting these kids cut the fuck up.
Starting point is 00:07:05 That's what's happening. How you holding up nigga like, that's what our boy did. Manny, who is he about to go to? His daddy? Yeah. I gotta get this bread right. And I ain't going to this weak ass thing.
Starting point is 00:07:21 No, our team had to play. He said, ho, ho, ho, Diego. We not doing that broke shit. He said, ho, ho, ho, ho. I said, Diego, we not doing that broke shit. I said, that is crazy. So for this kid to still be in Tennessee and they okay with that, they should've kicked him in the rear of his ass, bro. Get the fuck off my field.
Starting point is 00:07:36 Matter of fact, you're done. Did you see how Mike fucked that chicken wing up? I'm so hungry. I actually hate eating in front of people. Bro, you murdered. Like I know we talking about Tennessee, I'm so hungry. I actually hate eating in front of people. You're not hungry. Bro, you murdered. Like I know we talking about Tennessee, but God damn the wishbone offense.
Starting point is 00:07:51 Why you just fucking that chicken wing up? Niggas is hungry. That shit was crazy. What kind of wings are they, man? From the tap. Oh, okay. Why you holding like that? The tap, you, hey, you.
Starting point is 00:08:03 I'll get some, bro. You hot. You hot today, bro. you high value with the tap, bro. How you supposed to hold a chicken wing? Bro, hold a grip. You want a grip, bro? Hold, hold, hold, hold. I want some chicken wing, y'all. I never call my shit a chicken wing.
Starting point is 00:08:17 Bro, you can't hold, that's how bitches eat. Pick off, you might as well pick off of him. You want me to get all my fingers dirty? Aw, he's cute. Ah! That's crazy. He's sassy fingers dirty? Oh, he's cute. That's crazy. He's sassy with it. Yeah, that's crazy.
Starting point is 00:08:29 It's gonna be some smoke in the rest of the year between the two after my breakdown. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's all for the rest of the year. The neck roll was crazy though. And the ah with the tongue is wow. That was uh, that was just the finisher, y'all.
Starting point is 00:08:45 Y'all fucking up my image. They fucked up your NIL? No, but fact, but to be for real about the NIL, like I think it's smart by him. You know I'm the best quarterback. I'm 2B1. I was, I had a great year last year. Yes.
Starting point is 00:09:02 Rummy my money. And he kinda got him at a standstill. Like you damn near gotta get the money for him. Cause y'all need him. Yeah, they reported this morning, they agreed to part ways cause he held him by the fire. That's what I'm trying to, that port of been closed with football.
Starting point is 00:09:17 So it's kind of tough to go get in the SEC too. And he's getting a lot of recruitment for different places. I've seen Colorado being one of them, Ohio State. Man, these coaches be doing whatever they want to. So all he need to be mad at the kids, these coaches be wilding out. But he might have played himself there. I didn't know they decided to part way.
Starting point is 00:09:32 He played himself. Cause you are known as a QB one somewhere else. And you good. And I know you ain't trying to go to no Marshall, no offense to Marshall or no, you know what I mean? They already got they quarterbacks, I feel like. They got they guys. He said, they ain't got a me up there.
Starting point is 00:09:48 I mean, Ohio State don't. The Colorado, they show, but I mean they- They rocking with that youngster. Yeah, that's right. They rocking with that youngster, yeah. That was in communication, so you never know, but- That boy was just fine. I'm nothing on taking him.
Starting point is 00:10:04 Nothing, bro. Yeah, you're holding the gun to my head like that? No, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, example. Wait for it, definitely. You need that NIL, wait for it. That's crazy, bro. We ain't got the foe. Yeah, I got the two, but we got the two one.
Starting point is 00:10:35 Put the extra hundred on there. He might have to settle, bro. Oh, he's definitely gonna settle. You gotta settle, bro. This is not no NFL shit, bro. No, bro, go get my bread. But that's what I feel like kids forget the biggest goal. It's like, you trying to make it to the league.
Starting point is 00:10:51 Yes. Not playing is not gonna get you to the league. And look how you acting now. The NFL is already damn near shy, Steve, bro, when it come to paying niggas, bro. They already don't want to pay the elite what they paying them. So for you to be cutting up like this
Starting point is 00:11:03 and a goddamn college nigga, you better be a fool them. So for you to be cuttin' up like this and goddamn college nigga, you better be a fool in the NFL for us to even consider paying you some type of money like that, bro. Now, let's play devil's advocate in this situation. What if he was promised a bread and he ain't get it, and now he like, oh, if I don't get my bread by this, it's over?
Starting point is 00:11:18 Yeah, if he was promised to make that known. Like Florida State. Word or video. Like Florida State, how they did Coach Hamilton. Yeah, he ain't pay, exposed. Like for sure. I'm with that. He was just like, you know what?
Starting point is 00:11:32 Fuck all this in y'all, I'm out. I'm out, bro. I ain't paying none of y'all. Get it back in blood. I'm with that in that. If that's the case, the ball in your court, bro. But if you come in there, calls a hill, no way, bro. Somebody gonna draw the line, bro. But if you come in there, it calls a hill. No way, bro. Somebody gotta draw the line, bro.
Starting point is 00:11:46 Man, that's fire that the players like, you could have it hold out in college. Imagine if y'all did that. Oh, hey, we no more in the nation. We all need this bread. Nah, that's what our, my coach came to see our high school team play. He coached at Georgetown.
Starting point is 00:11:57 He was just like, two of them, coach Corbin and coach Battle. They was just like, man, if we had to pay y'all back then, he said, we'd be having to send money every practice. He said, y'all already didn't like the practice. So imagine if you ain't feel like practicing at that. I know you, you would have been like, coach, I need 10,000 to practice.
Starting point is 00:12:15 I was like, I wouldn't have did y'all like that. He was like, you should me. I would have did y'all like that. That's just crazy, bro. I would have been asked for something new every month. Every year, every game we got better. After we beat Duke, I swear I'd been like, y'all need 20,000.
Starting point is 00:12:34 I mean, if they got to spend it, but I just think it's fucking you up in the long run. It would have, but I'm just saying like, we would have been so unlike, we all coming from the west side of NAP. Oh, my mom was a money? Bro, I would have been filthy. Miss Crill would have been cool with the cheese,
Starting point is 00:12:53 but I'm saying I still think you would have had a grounded foundation though, bro. Yeah, but, cause I ain't come from nothing. So you could have probably told me, I'm gonna give you 200,000 for the year. And I would have been like, sweet. Oh, that's fire, actually. Still, for the nigga that's getting there. That's what I'm gonna give you 200,000 for the year. And I would have been like, sweet. That's fire. That's for the nigga that's getting there.
Starting point is 00:13:07 That's what I'm saying. That's just, that's some light cheese now. I know what I'm saying. I would have been like, sweet. That's why they would have had me in a trick bag. Cause they would have got me like, Jeff, we're gonna give you 550. I'm like mama, 500,000.
Starting point is 00:13:21 So I'm probably like, yes sir. We would have filed with your team. Yeah, y'all found out that James was making 2.5 and that's when I would've turned the fucking fool. After every game, hey, we gonna have to get that to 2.5 quick, y'all. See, now you hating. Yeah, I am.
Starting point is 00:13:36 Get out my purse, bro. Now I don't know if I'll practice today since I'm back so much. Since I'm a tip employee, this is how you'll treat me. You got those kids, even if they doing that, promise you say yourself a failure on the next level. You probably ain't gonna make the next level. Yeah, NBA ain't going for that bro.
Starting point is 00:13:54 NFL for damn sure. Most likely you probably ain't gonna make it though to the next level. But I think that's probably the point you making too. It's like some of the kids ain't gonna make it, so I need all that now. Oh, if you want to do it, I'm talking about the kids who really have a legit chance of making it to the NFL
Starting point is 00:14:10 and the NBA, don't fuck yourself so. They ain't worried about that though. Like AJ DeVance ain't worried about this BYU money. Yeah, I'm sure he's not bro, but I'm saying he ain't holding out either. He ain't doing all this extra shit either. Nah, like he ain't worried about that. The people that might not make it to the NFL
Starting point is 00:14:25 are the ones worrying about that. Like this kid from Tennessee, he talented. He probably will make it. He could, but he probably not. You know what I'm saying? But he could, but he probably not. Because when your mind is focused on money, and ain't nothing wrong with trying to earn money,
Starting point is 00:14:39 but when your mind is focused on making a dollar amount, your skill kind of takes it, diminish a little bit cause you start focusing on the wrong thing. Like it's cool to know your worth, like yeah, I'm worth this, but keep the main thing, the main thing. That's one thing I actually respect about Brian. He used to always say that. Like even though I'm making all this bread,
Starting point is 00:14:57 the main thing is the main thing. I want to be great at the sport. Keep the main thing, the main thing. All right, they ain't working out the bread right now. You trying to get four million, they ain't got it. Whatever, they playing. You feel like you're getting played two million. Well, should go out and kill.
Starting point is 00:15:11 Cause I only support the walk-ons who grown up in NIL. Oh, see you support the manager transfer. Yes, I support that because you know, we not supposed to be here anyway. So we got blessed with a bag. You feel me? They paying for a bag. You feel me? They paying for their college. You feel me?
Starting point is 00:15:26 Cause I feel like they still know like, I'm working after this. I was never the number five player in the country. And just keep the mind thing, the mind thing, man. That's real. Get to the league, man. Speaking of Braun, you see how I said Thomas Hayden. I said, oh, yeah, I said Thomas.
Starting point is 00:15:40 Yeah, OG. What did he say? Man, Braun was at the shoot around early in the game. It was early in the day. He thought it was like main shoot around early in the game. It was early in the day, I thought it was like main shoot around time, but he had his shirt off and the durag on. I said, Thomas, like, man, this is just unprofessional. Like, what we doing?
Starting point is 00:15:52 And then everybody was just like, Isaiah, we fuck with you, but you were the wrong person to be talking about what's professional in a professional setting, you're not a brother. Yeah, on my soul. And you set the play up for a nigga hurt. Yeah, and New York Knicks Isaiah Thomas. Yeah, I was gonna say.
Starting point is 00:16:07 Chill out fam. You gotta get off Bron. Now y'all just pick it with nasty. But then Bron said, you know what? He just had a tweet saying, I was gonna say something, but nevermind. Shout out to us, 50 wins, hurt. I'm like, that person is a Bron alone bro.
Starting point is 00:16:22 He about to start eating the clip because he clearly don't give a fuck. Nah, not no more. I'm on my way out. I's a broad a law bro. He about to start eating the clip because he clearly don't give a fuck. Nah, not no more. I'm on my way out. I can say anything I want to say now. I done set the records. I done did all that shit. Now it's time to do-
Starting point is 00:16:31 Them old heads gotta chill. Cause that's literally, you just bothered me at this point, bro. I'm warming up. I do this in every city, bro. I ain't trying to do this for the hoes or nothing, bro. I'm on YouTube. I'm on TikTok, Instagram, working out
Starting point is 00:16:44 with my shirt off in the do-it-own, bro. This is what I know. You are legit hating on me, bro. We have been okay with LeBron with the do-it-act. You know, it's probably for no reason to this point. We just let my boy rock out anyway, so it's cool. But let that go, bro. Yeah, unprofessional is crazy.
Starting point is 00:16:59 Yeah, bro, you can't say that. We speak highly of you, you know, you a legend, bro. Let it ride, bro. Yeah. I think he's getting too old, bro. Damn, Bron can't say that. We speak holiday, you know, you a legend, bro. One of the goats. Let it ride, bro. Yeah. Niggas getting too old, bro. Damn, Bron can't do nothing. He's saying, what's the boy named Collins he sent on that dummy mission against Denver Nuggets?
Starting point is 00:17:14 What's his name, Marty Collins? Yeah. He sent him on a dummy mission, man. That wasn't professional. What's up, everyone? It's Greg Rosenthal, and I'm teaming up with the king of spring, Daniel Jeremiah.
Starting point is 00:17:27 He requires me to say that. We're going to be bringing you 40s and free agents, the only podcast you'll need this NFL draft season from DJ's mock drafts to my top one on one free agents. We'll have it covered for you with all new episodes every Thursday, keeping you up to date as we head to the NFL draft. Listen to 40s and free agents 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
Starting point is 00:17:54 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.
Starting point is 00:18:17 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 iHeart radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Israel Gutierrez and I'm hosting
Starting point is 00:18:52 a new podcast, Dub Dynasty, the story of how the Golden State Warriors have dominated the NBA for over a decade. The Golden State Warriors once again are NBA champions. From the building of the core that included Clay Thompson and Draymond Green to one of the boldest coaching decisions in the history of the sport. I just felt like the biggest thing was to earn the trust of the players and let the players know that we were here to try to help them take the next step, not tear anything down. Today, the Warriors dynasty remains alive,
Starting point is 00:19:24 in large part because of a scrawny 6'2' hooper who everyone seems to love. For what Steph has done for the game, he's certainly on that Mount Rushmore for guys that have changed it. Come revisit this magical Warriors ride. This is Dubb Dynasty. The Dubb's dynasty is still very much alive.
Starting point is 00:19:42 Listen to Dubb Dynasty 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
Starting point is 00:20:16 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.
Starting point is 00:20:36 I couldn't believe it. I mean, Brendan, it was divine intervention. Listen to Divine Intervention on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. He was an original crash out. Yeah. Bro, y'all were clothesline of people playing basketball, bro.
Starting point is 00:21:04 Nothing about that squad home professional, bro. That's one of the worst championship teams ever, bro. I swear, I don't fuck with them. But he did the internship. But she was so cold. He did the internship with the Celtics as they was on the Western Finals, bro. That's crazy.
Starting point is 00:21:17 You don't like the bad boy pisses? No, bro, that four and five will not make it today in the four. That's one four and five, prior four in the center that I know for sure wouldn't be able to play in today's game. Sleep on Bill Lambert and who else? Who was that four?
Starting point is 00:21:31 Okay, Robbie was that four for a minute, but you probably got something about him. Oh, I'm talking about your boy who- Rick Mahorn? Yes, bro. Them two in the court at the same time, it's Christmas, bro. Ah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:41 It's Christmas, bro. They can't play at the same time now. Like, that's impossible. You cannot play them two at the same time.. Like that's impossible, you cannot play them two at the same time. Niggas, it was one time they had Rick Mahorn, Dennis Rodman, and Bill Lindbergh on the court. That's some nasty sportsmanship, bro.
Starting point is 00:21:54 That was a championship. That's why I think the Hot In the Top is one of the best guards in every basketball, because he got to back to back at a time where people wasn't doing that, and he went against everybody with that roster. Yeah, bro, he had some certified, legit body guards bro, white one and a black one bro. Yeah bro, and Robin in the cut.
Starting point is 00:22:10 And John Sly. Yeah. Come on now. John was on that team, Joe was nice though. Joe Dumars? Joe Dumars was nice. Isaiah was nice bro. Cause you think at that era bro, he had to get out, I mean, honestly they was beating the sleeves off the bulls.
Starting point is 00:22:24 I ain't gonna say get past him, but they was handling them. But Larry Celtic scene was crazy. And then you had to go do a magic team in the finals, bro. And you got two back to back, that's tough. Yeah, he won some tough championships. I ain't gonna hold him. He's up there with Dirk.
Starting point is 00:22:39 Yeah, but you can't, nobody, you can't talk about Brown. But I do respect him because he always said Brown was better than Mike. But we knew that came from hate. But yeah It's sure. Yeah It came from hate. I was gonna talk about this It's a lot of you know saying Dwight Howard is Shaq you know say in their few which I thought was dope Dwight said he wanted him to walk him out of his hall of fame. I thought that was fire I'm surprised about it. I am too
Starting point is 00:23:04 But then I thought about this year earlier and Dwight by that. I am too. But then I thought about it this year earlier and Dwight was just like, hey Shaq, you want to throw these hands? And Shaq was like, I'm an old man, why you say this to me now? And I'm like, okay. At that point, this has to be resolved. He asked Shaq the bump.
Starting point is 00:23:13 Yeah, he said he wanted to sell me boxes. Yeah, I like that. Shaq said, you talking to mom now? He's like, oh, no, it's been talking a long time. What's up with it? Bro, that's crazy. I don't care how old you are. Yeah, don't say you old, man.
Starting point is 00:23:26 Ain't the light funniest him. Ask the Sheriff the moment's crazy. Bro, you been disrespecting me for so long. You been picking on that nigga that long? He wanna square up. Sometimes time means everything, bro. Nah, that's a good thing. Floyd Mayweather waited a long time
Starting point is 00:23:40 to fight his opponents for a reason, man. Have an advantage. Hold on, I'll do that to Floyd, though. Floyd is the greatest, bro, but Floyd's having an advantage. Hold on, I'm gonna do that to Floyd though. Floyd is the greatest bro, but Floyd definitely- That was a little shady bro. No Floyd definitely- That was shady as fuck. Floyd did not fight some people in their quote unquote prom.
Starting point is 00:23:54 He ain't fight Pacquiao, because Pacquiao was on steroids. Respect. And then the moment he got off steroids, everybody start whipping Pacquiao ass. They had to almost stop him bro. Quit coming to America andachia. I had to almost stop bro. We're coming to America and cheating bro. Shout out to this hoop league.
Starting point is 00:24:11 That's why he's bludgeoned. No, we can't put no Floyd on. I mean no smut on Floyd jacket. Sometimes man, time to say everything man. But listen, we talking about them interview. How would there to be an interview with Isaiah and MJ? I know it had never happened, but I would love for that to happen, bro. They have to sit down and talk, bro.
Starting point is 00:24:30 I would never. It's over with. They're going to take it to the grave. Yeah, that'd be if I think I don't like always say, you know, safety first. But I'm OK with them two crashing out forever. Yeah, it's way too much disrespect on and off the court for them bro. We too old to be friends. I agree.
Starting point is 00:24:49 I just want them to hate each other in their face because that's going to be prime time TV. Like we both 60, bro. I don't want it. It's over, bro. I've hated you for 30 years. They'll keep hating us. They'll just keep the hate going.
Starting point is 00:24:59 How y'all think, how you feel if you drink though and you seen a goat dancing to They Not Like Us? That's how my relationships ain't real. That's all, you feel me? Like, you know, Demar guy, Demar the only one to me that get a pass, because he grew up with Kendrick. He asked to play in Toronto,
Starting point is 00:25:22 he ended up building a relationship with Drake. So you know what I'm saying? It's kind of different, but everybody else, bro, is kind of, I don't know. If I'm Drake, it's kind of fuck y'all. Wow, but I can't like Kendrick too though? You can, but if you supposed to be my nigga, you can't be out here dancing, bro.
Starting point is 00:25:40 Why, how y'all know Kendrick going my nigga though? That's cool, bro, I ain't see him over here when he's kicking it, bro. I mean, you a little more friendall know Kendrick going my nigga though? That's cool bro, I ain't see him over here when he's kicking it bro. I mean you a little more friendlier than Kendrick, like you like the dude pulling up on niggas and doing all that shit. Only one that kept it solid though, I ain't gonna lie, is KD.
Starting point is 00:25:55 Oh KD was Team Dragon's host. Yeah, yeah, he kept it solid. That's his man. I don't know bro, to me it is just music, but I'm saying if you already in that, like if somebody made a song like about you, talking about you, touching little girls and shit bro, I can't rock with it.
Starting point is 00:26:12 Nah, I feel that. So that's what I'm saying, I don't know the level of people, friendships. Yeah, I about to say I feel like none of them was really like real life friends. Yeah. But I think that was just like cool with Drake. Yeah, but you see them there,
Starting point is 00:26:23 supposed to be like C.R. King, P.T., they're supposed to play Searican, PTO together. They all linked up at the games and stuff. But as you know, a lot of stuff be superficial. Yeah, it all look good. It's all entertainment. I mean, it's music though, at the end of the day. But I'm not mad at Drake for feeling away about LeBron in that situation.
Starting point is 00:26:39 I understand. Regardless of how we may see that relationship, I feel like they had probably a real relationship. Or at least Drake seemed to appear that way. I don't know, bro. After that shop interview, what I told you about that whole shit, you could never let me down. You know, going from shit like that to all,
Starting point is 00:26:54 we wouldn't really want to cook. I don't know, bro, at all. But I just think he just really just fuck with his niggas mainly. Like Mav and them, bro. Aw, man, yeah. Everybody else is kind of interchangeable if they gotta be.
Starting point is 00:27:08 He traded AD. Nah, I'm just kidding. I'm just playing. I mean, but if he did. I'm just playing. You ain't Mav, you ain't the guys. I used to think him and Mo Williams was hella cool. He left him.
Starting point is 00:27:20 So. That's just Ron bro. Imagine if he would have said he cleaved because of my whips. It's all because of my whips. Yeah. Nah, definitely shout out to him. I just think the Brian just like, bro,
Starting point is 00:27:30 he was entertaining, bro. Yeah. I can like what I like. I might bleep out him talking about you, whatever he say about the little girls. I might not say that part, but the song is hard. So respect. And it's a battle shit.
Starting point is 00:27:44 And that niggas be saying the gloves is off. Once we reach a certain point, I can say whatever. So, and Drake's been in multiple glove off moments. So that's why I was a little shaky on why he sued, but I get it. No, you in this sport, stick to the game. Oh, most definitely. All right, be him, man.
Starting point is 00:28:03 I think it's time to turn it up a little bit, man. Oh yeah, Borb. What we got today? Ain't you late, but it's okay. What's happening? What we got today? We got some earthen cherries. Wow.
Starting point is 00:28:18 Chill out. What is this? That earth, that dirt. I'm gonna show you some tequila old fashioned. Tequila old fashioned, okay. What's in a tequila old fashioned. Okay, what's in a tequila old fashioned? What kind of fruit is it? Two ounces of dehydrated orange.
Starting point is 00:28:31 Damn. Two ounces of the green caramelo and a hoe. Orange bitters, and a guy. Okay. I ain't never had tequila old fashioned before. You kicked me out last time, so I'm thinking maybe my spot's doomed. Nah, you good.
Starting point is 00:28:45 Lock in. Now this is a- 520 merch. 520.com. Shop online. This is a dog marriage right here. You know, get you some 520 merch. If I smoke cigars, yeah, I will fuck with this right here.
Starting point is 00:29:00 This is pretty good. This is tequila old fashioned? Hey, it's real solid. Now, in the comments, Barbie, they told us to ask you, you know, I'm saying to how you feel about a nigga based upon what he orders at the bar. So we'll go through a couple of drinks and see how you feel about them. If he goes to a bar and he's alone and he gets a lemon drop, how you feel about this individual?
Starting point is 00:29:18 I tell you, I don't do it. He might just want something sweet. OK, now the lemonade is the same. Hmm. Cat. He is sweet. Okay, now. If you drink a lemonade, it's the same thing. Cap. He just like lemonade. Yeah. They do, but their country time doesn't come with sugar on the rim.
Starting point is 00:29:33 Now he's sitting there licking the rim and going out crazy. That's crazy. That's crazy. So what is- You licking the rim when you drink it like that. I had one lemon drop, Molly. Oh, it was just that one?
Starting point is 00:29:42 Oh, lies. I said that like, that's your drink. No. I never said that. Ain't no diggity that only had one lemon drop order a. Oh, it was just that one. Oh, lies. I was like, that's your drink. No. I never said that. Ain't no nigga that only had one lemon drop order a round for the guy. You said. That mean, but these are good.
Starting point is 00:29:52 I won't try to draw with you. You did, whatever. That was the first time. You did whatever I was. Don't try to put up with your first time, that's wild. But I think you would judge a nigga. If a nigga was at the bar taking shots of E and J, would you judge him? It ain't nothing like the first taking shots of E and J, would you judge him?
Starting point is 00:30:06 But shots of E, I would judge him, yeah, up some shit like that. Cause now, you know, at least some Hennessy, like why are you, or why does the bar have E when you're first in the world? I'm just saying. You just, you don't never know that. You just, you gotta pick a side.
Starting point is 00:30:19 Nah, just kidding. He's trying to pick a piece of the twerk. So a nigga that's a nigga- What's the song called? That hurt, that dirt. T a nigga that's drinking with the song up. That hurt. That's where it'll hurt. What'd he do? What'd he do?
Starting point is 00:30:30 What'd he do? That was hilarious. He hit him with the woof. He hit him with the woof. The referent ad lib of what was crazy. I don't fucking believe you. Like, he built that shit. How many shots did Ian Wharton want you to record?

I'm gonna go with Brandi. I was just thinking like, damn why not do some lit tequila or something?
Starting point is 00:33:06 That would have been crazy. The funniest part about it. Shout out to Brandy. ENJ is like the bot, I mean, little canister of Murr. It's like they never end, they never come fully full. When you get them, they're already pretty used and you never gonna finish them themselves. What's the worst drink you ever had as a youngster, Barbie?
Starting point is 00:33:23 Oh, I used to drink Cevaca UV. What's it called? What flavor? It was UV two for five. Every flavor. I'm not as good as drinking that, but the worst thing ever. Two for five.
Starting point is 00:33:33 Scored me for Bombay. Like I can't see the bottle to this day, I still get sick. I'm so fucked up after that. That's Wesley for Aaron. Yeah, that Bombay was shit premium. But that's just great alcohol. And you was drinking the two for five UVs. You definitely had the pink lemonade for sure.
Starting point is 00:33:50 That raspberry used to slap. I can't relate to you, I came in the game with it. Yeah, and the apple. I was gonna say the green apple. The apple used to slap too. Please, we fucked up. Yeah, he came in the game a little bit. Hey Chris, you came in the game a little bit.

Starting point is 00:34:41 That's one of you being there, the regular thing that you get to rock. Do you think like restaurants and bars do that? Yes, bro. I think bars, I don't think restaurants do that. Some bars definitely do. I've had it, I'm like, I know my liquor. This is not what this is.

Starting point is 00:35:19 It was not Grey Goose. It was Saveca. It was crazy, somebody was probably taking pictures of that bottle the whole time. Go ahead, turn it up. I don't know why people, when they get over here and say I stole his part, these people don't have no more. No, this was, hold on, let me remind you,

They don't appreciate it.
Starting point is 00:36:49 And they used to waste it. That's the crazy part. Yeah, cause you would find all the cups around your house and all that. I remember one time we used to have a party at the crib at 520. I woke up, I had a counter, I had 36 cups full of liquor,
Starting point is 00:37:01 like just throughout the house. I'm like, damn. Nah, I ain't never do that. It was over with, I don't know who was kissing and doing one of that, bro. I was like, I don't know. I ain't never. That's too filthy.

I was about to, Mike said don't say no name, but I was about to say a name with some liquor that I sold, so. Unless you was about to, Mike said don't say no name, but I was about to say a name with some liquor that I sold, so.
Starting point is 00:37:47 Unless you're willing to never, ever, ever. A few of these girls, y'all was ineligible for this drink, which I was, God damn it, driving the boat at this nigga party, so. Driving the boat with EJ is crazy. Nah, it wasn't that though, but. It was equivalent to driving the minivan. Nah, for sure.

Yeah, I feel like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I said Barbie be making tremors drinks in this bitch. Fruity tooty, fresh and fruity.
Starting point is 00:38:46 For real though, y'all should be, and then they hit you, like when we leaving this motherfucker. Yeah, it's like niggas in the parking lot get woozy. I be like, as soon as I get home, the headache just, nah, I'm just playing. I'm just playing. I've been with you all the fucking time. Blaine Chaz though, she told me to make y'all from the edge.
Starting point is 00:39:02 She said y'all was some ghetto niggas. Nah, I like this. Look at my ice cube. I feel like a real nigga right now. Yeah, who must got a different budget? My shit be crushed like the hospital, usually. Yeah. I'm sorry, Marv.
Starting point is 00:39:15 Right on, Marv. All right, Pep the Bismarck. Oh shit. All right, man. I know we talk about this a lot, but I have to say, we're gonna do the 520 Awards for the morning show by everybody, NBA's performances this year, but John Morant has been a sleeper these last three weeks. The things that he has done on and off the court,
Starting point is 00:39:40 he has to be considered, bro. His explanation for the grenade toss is fucking hilarious. It's one of the best I've seen though. What'd he say? He said, nah bro, I'm just doing my worst for the haters, bro, and they can't get back to me. I'm blocking the haters out, yeah. That's fire.
Starting point is 00:39:57 Fire explanation. Queen Miller is on the jack for sure. That was a ghost rider. Cause that boy didn't think of that. Somebody else was telling him. Somebody, that was ghost red. Somebody said, John, they're about to find you $250,000. You better explain this shit smooth, bro.
Starting point is 00:40:14 And he came out with that heat. I fuck with it. Childish Jabberer. If that's what he said, that's elite. That was a bar. For sure, for sure. They gotta leave him alone, man. Now it's just time to lock in the hoop though.
Starting point is 00:40:26 Get your team as far as you can, man, and enter the, you know what I mean? Basically, you about to enter the portal. Nah, I think he gonna be straight. He's thinking about he about to enter the portal. I think he gonna be straight. Base support wasn't gonna end there right now. I can't say he won't.
Starting point is 00:40:40 Obviously, I think he's gonna stay there, but man, all best is off, bro. The way that they acting towards everybody, coaching players, everybody's damn very expendable at this point. Yeah, I just can't see who they would trade them for. I think something major would have to happen for them to push ahead.
Starting point is 00:40:54 Yeah, I just can't see who they would trade them for. Players still got more power than the coaches? Than the coaches? Yeah, for sure. Coaches ain't got no power. See Mike Malone got mad fire because they said people ain't like him no more. Yeah, the moral forces coming out about that is
Starting point is 00:41:09 basically saying like the players is kinda like, all right, like he cool type shit. Like they wouldn't really like, oh we gotta have that, like he cool and everything. They got him up out the pain, bro. Damn, man. That's a tough job, bro. He got an extension so he ain't tripping.
Starting point is 00:41:24 Yeah, he got a dumb bag on the way out. Oh, so when they fire you, they still gotta pay you for your whole contract? Yeah, all of the above. Everything guaranteed. Oh man, Mickey, sit down, brother. I didn't know it was like that. That's why Frank Bogle ain't trippin'.
Starting point is 00:41:36 You ain't heard nothing from Frank Bogle. He chillin'. Oh, okay, yeah, I didn't. That's news to me. I didn't know that. That's why Coach Bud ain't trippin'. Fire me, I'ma go, I thought you was gonna put some more accessories
Starting point is 00:41:44 on that boat. Just ride out. Damn didn't know that. That's why Coach Bud ain't tripping. Fire me, I'ma go, I thought you were gonna put some more accessories on that boat. Just ride out. Damn, nah, that's fire. Now you see what Monty Williams is just like, oh, y'all gonna fire me after this crazy deal in year one up in Detroit? He was like, go. I go coach high school.
Starting point is 00:41:55 That boy went to coach high school. Damn, that's a per. Yeah, you straight. I did not know that at all. Yeah, you- Shit, you gotta love the game to wanna come back at something like that. Yeah. you straight. I did not know that at all. Yeah, you. Shit, you gotta love the game and wanna come back at something like that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:08 Sitting down, like the fact that Mark Jackson is still one of the coaches, crazy. I don't know if Mark Jackson's one of the coaches. I mean, cause he ain't got that back though. I mean, I'm just saying like after a while sitting down, it's like, damn, when you just said it. Cause I feel like he getting paper elsewhere though, commentating this shit.
Starting point is 00:42:22 For sure. Yeah, that was the thing that was sucked the longest, even though they had like the best broadcast. I mean, I still think that was sucked the longest. Even though they had like the best broadcast, I still think that him and Jeff and Gundy had the best broadcast. I love your broadcast. And Mike Brea, that shit was A1, but there's like constant playing going back.
Starting point is 00:42:34 Why they bout to leave that good ass job for? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, Jeff and Gundy went back to coaching too though. Yeah. I'm surprised. What's up everyone? It's Greg Rosenthal and I'm teaming up with the king of spring, Daniel Jeremiah.
Starting point is 00:42:49 He requires me to say that. We're going to be bringing you 40s and free agents.

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.
Starting point is 00:43:37 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?
Starting point is 00:44:02 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. I'm Israel Gutierrez and I'm hosting a new podcast, Dub Dynasty, the story of how the Golden State Warriors have dominated the NBA for over a decade. The Golden State Warriors once again are NBA champions. From the building of the core that included
Starting point is 00:44:29 Klay Thompson and Draymond Green, to one of the boldest coaching decisions in the history of the sport. I just felt like the biggest thing was to earn the trust of the players and let the players know that we were here to try to help them take the next step, not tear anything down. Today, the Warriors dynasty remains alive, in large part because of a scrawny 6'2 hooper
Starting point is 00:44:49 who everyone seems to love. For what Steph has done for the game, he's certainly on that Mount Rushmore for guys that have changed it. Come revisit this magical Warriors ride. This is Dubb Dynasty. The Dubb's dynasty is still very much alive. Listen to Dubb Dynasty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. My name is Brendan Patrick Hughes, host of Divine Intervention.
Starting point is 00:45:20 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-damnedest love story you've ever heard. I picked up the phone and my thought was,
Starting point is 00:45:55 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. Listen to Divine Intervention on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. But, you know, I can say he got fired, which is crazy because he's one of the best commentators ever. But to have that as a luxury is still crazy. Yeah. But I want to go through some of these playoff teams, man.
Starting point is 00:46:30 And I want to just see if y'all can give me a player or someone on this team who will be really important for this team to go for on the playoffs. Obviously, let's start off with the Thunder. Outside the SGA, who's that person on the team you think really got to hoop out for this to go for? You want to chat? Yeah. For me, it got to be J-Dub.
Starting point is 00:46:46 Okay. He got to have a playoff series. Remember, he's an all-star and he got to have all-star numbers this whole run. I like that. I'm running with that for sure. Like you said, Chet, I think he's going to be the X-Factor in that situation, but I think J-Dub got to be that consistent 20, 20 plus a night for them. He got to.
Starting point is 00:47:05 To really put some fear in people's hearts. Yeah. Houston. Jaylen Green, gotta show why he a star. Okay. This is basically like announcement day, like I'm here type shit. This my team, this my franchise,
Starting point is 00:47:19 I'm here to stay, build around me. I'ma go with Segon or Segon, whatever his name is, the fucking center. He's an all-star, he's been playing well, but he gotta go against, if he gets stuck against Jokic or whoever they end up playing, he gotta have a moment. He gotta solidify himself as an all-star. He gotta have a moment.
Starting point is 00:47:43 I'm not against Jalen Green. I think he gonna have a breakout playoffs, but he got to be consistent 20 and 10. Most definitely. Los Angeles Lakers. Shit, Luka. Yeah, I agree, Luka. Show him that it can work with you and O'Hare
Starting point is 00:48:00 back there running shit. I take that back. Brian. Brian for me. Because you can kind of expect what Lucas is going to do. We don't know what Brian is going to do. Because we see Brian sometimes. Brian is at 16, 24, 18, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:48:19 And Brian hasn't really played significant basketball really in a while. So what kind of stat line do you think he need to have for them to be successful? For them to win, cause Austin Reeves, he consistently gets 20 points. Next. Luca, for the most part, been pretty consistent. Brian been great, he been good,
Starting point is 00:48:41 but he hasn't had Brian type numbers that we look at. I mean, he is 40 years old, but for them to make it to the chip, Bron gonna have to be 24, six and six. Like, it might not be Superman Bron, but he gonna have to be damn sure, Cavaliers third year Bron, like second year Bron. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:49:02 Like 25 and father, next year, I think he probably was like 25 or something. He gotta be second year of bronze. You know what I mean? Like 25 and father, next year, I think he probably was at like 25. He gotta be second year of bronze. Yeah, I also think they bitch too, gotta prove themselves. They gotta make shots. Yeah. That's interesting you said that.
Starting point is 00:49:15 I was gonna go Osiris, but to your point, it is a bronze situation. Cause we know that Osiris go adapt to whatever in that situation, he gonna do what he gonna do. But if bronze has have two games in series where he just dominates, it's gonna get ugly. Yeah. Cause they run off Braun, like believe it or not,
Starting point is 00:49:32 and I know Luca got the ball the most, but when Braun is special, that team unbeatable damn right. I would love for the Lakers to be that team that Luca just take them three quarters of the way and then fourth quarter, Brian just take over. Brian going to the fourth quarter with 12 points in the game with 22 type shit. Dominate, take him home.
Starting point is 00:49:50 If he could save his body like that, I know he would wanna do it. That'd be crazy. But I seen you pull this girl on again. Yeah. With the aggravated, so. Might be a, might get a little weird in this playoffs. Hey man, we done seen the, like you said,
Starting point is 00:50:04 we done seen the Brian snap his leg, we done seen the bronze snap, he's not gonna tie his shoe up. I'm sure that whatever's necessary, he gonna take a Senso big, bronze will be ready. He 40 now though. Year 22, that's what I'm saying. Yeah, like that. Drugs get better every year though.
Starting point is 00:50:15 But I'm just saying like, if you pull your groin one time, and then you re-aggravated it, it never healing. You need five. Mind still fucked up. Yeah, you need five, six months for, it never healing. You need five. Yeah, mine still fucked up. Yeah, you need five, six months for that thing to heal. All the way. They're growing.
Starting point is 00:50:30 It's like the hamstring. That's why Halliburton always struggle because of that hamstring. You can't gauge them that well. When you start feeling good, one little quick twitch and it's back to day one. Working out with y'all niggas, I felt like I pulled mine. I might be injured for a while
Starting point is 00:50:47 because that motherfucker hurt every day. Well guess what? No calling off. See you Monday. See you Monday, buddy. I had to sit out for them Hemi workouts. It made me comfortable because he was like, I've never been flexible in my Hemis either.
Starting point is 00:51:01 I said, okay, cool. He pulls. Like, what are you on, bro? Why he do his voice? Why he put you in, bro? Why he do his voice like that? Why he do his voice like that? Yeah, did we record the whole thing? The whole thing. I said I never could like pause, touch my toes
Starting point is 00:51:14 cause my hand, I can't, I ain't straight flexible like that. He said it after that. Yeah. But nigga, why you get all like, why you do the voice like that? Like, I ain't never been up through my hammies. He's switching up. Like what the voice like that? Like, I ain't never been up to my hand. He's like, what the fuck, nigga? He got me talking like RuPaul and shit.
Starting point is 00:51:30 The fuck he on? It's just like, my hammies never been flexible before. Nigga, I don't call him hammies. Nigga, I say hamstrings, nigga. Why he give you the cat voice? Yeah, and why you say hammies? Like, nigga, I don't say hammies, nigga. I say your hamstrings. That's right, Lord. You crazy. Shout out to say hammies? Like, nigga, I don't say hammies, nigga. I say your hamstrings.
Starting point is 00:51:46 That's right, Lord. You crazy. Shout out to the hammies. I swear to West. That's right. The nuggets. Jamal Murray for me. Okay.
Starting point is 00:51:58 Yeah. He got approved. We need blood with Jamal Murray. Luca, I mean Luca, Yoke has been holding it on his back, man, pause all year while y'all was injured, taking days off, he played them every game. I feel like we literally talked the whole season
Starting point is 00:52:14 on the morning show about Yoke is every day. Did, yeah. He literally had no break from our show. I feel like Jamal Murray owe him to come through. I agree, nice. I'm gonna go with Eric Gordon. I think Jamar Murray is gonna show up because we've seen it before. I think if Eric Gordon gets back to playing
Starting point is 00:52:32 how he did in the playoffs at Red Run, obviously we know he's capable of it. If he's playing at a high level, that make them a little bit of a problem as a matchup for sure. I'm gonna agree with the Murray. I think he got to play well. Most definitely.
Starting point is 00:52:43 They one of their best scores for sure. Yo team the Clippers. Man, I think Zulu gonna hold it down, but shit James Harden will kind of play he about to be in this first round. So he gonna be PG James Harden or, you know what I mean, where he facilitating or Houston Rockets.
Starting point is 00:53:03 The last game I believe or before this, he had like 34 points or something crazy like that. 35 and 10. Yeah, Sean Niggas, he can still do it. You know what I mean? Offensively heavy. So I'm just waiting to see what kind of player he gonna be. For me it's Kawhi.
Starting point is 00:53:17 There we go. If it's a healthy Kawhi, the Clippers a different team. Obviously you know what Zubik been doing this year. James Harden has the ability to go off and get 20, 10 and 10. We know he had triple, double waiting to happen. And he can also go for 35, but if it's a healthy Kawhi, we know playoff Kawhi is them,
Starting point is 00:53:36 they're one of the best players ever. And if they can get a little bit of that Toronto Kawhi, Clippers might be a scary team. Most definitely, especially at that seat they are now. Believe is they have a playing game correct between them and the Warriors. Obviously we recorded this before, this would come out on Monday,
Starting point is 00:53:52 but I believe it's the winner goes, know what I'm saying, at that sixth spot and the rest goes into the playing between them and the Warriors. And then the next team I was gonna ask was the Warriors, obviously, you know what I'm saying? We ain't doubting stuff, but who's that person on the Warriors
Starting point is 00:54:03 that got a show up for them to be some serious? Jimmy Butler. Okay. He got to shoot the ball. I mean, Jimmy's driving the ball and he doing, giving up layups. He acting like Ben Simmons sometimes. So like Jimmy's super aggressive and he play off Jimmy.
Starting point is 00:54:20 Warriors are top team. Yeah, he had a highlight the other night where he's literally at the back like this and threw that bitch around him in the half court. I'm like, I know you got Stefan, damn. You gotta take that. I actually like the Warriors, but I just, I don't know about them.
Starting point is 00:54:37 They too up and down for me to really mention them. I just don't think they got enough, bro. After Stefan, Jimmy, they get quiet offensively. Like, you praying for Buddy Hill, you praying for BP, you praying for Kaminga, and at playoffs you can't pray. Like, you can't be hoping Draymond hit three threes. You can't, like, you gotta know. Like, like.
Starting point is 00:54:59 You don't think Kaminga could give him some shit? Yeah, he can, I'm just saying. Anybody can, but you ain't banking it like, we banking Austin Reeves for 20. Bax. If he have a bad night, we can go to him and be like Austin Reeves had a bad night. We ain't banking, no, we ain't cominga,
Starting point is 00:55:16 if cominga have 20, it's like cominga was hooping, but if cominga got eight, we like, cominga was cominga. Like Austin Reeves got eight, we like, the fuck is Austin Kaminga. Austin Reeves got eight, we like, the fuck is Austin Reeves doing? You know what I mean? Buddy Hill got 15, we like, damn, Buddy Hill was an X-Factor. Buddy Hill got six, okay, Buddy Hill. So they don't got nobody you banking on.
Starting point is 00:55:38 It's just like, whatever. So let's switch it up to the East. Cavaliers, I think I know the answer I'm gonna ask anyway. Well, I mean, y'all got a different one for me. They gonna have to show, they bench gonna have to show something. Okay, you said the bench? Yeah, if they don't go far,
Starting point is 00:55:54 the bench gonna have to give them a little something, bro. My house is Darius Garland. That's how I play. This whole playoff run is based off Darius Garland. We seen what Donovan Mitchell can do in the playoffs. Derrick Garland been in the playoffs the last couple years. He's not had the greatest playoff runs. But for them to beat Boston, he gonna have to,
Starting point is 00:56:18 he got to be on his shit. And he got more, he got the ability, sure. I expect him to do it. I think this is this year where he make that lead and show why he wanted to lead guards in the league. That's definitely, I definitely agree with you on the Derris Gull point. I'm looking at Evan Mobley.
Starting point is 00:56:34 Evan Mobley's been how to do this all year. Evan Mobley gonna have to hoop out. Cause like you said, they gonna play against the championship contender with them Celtics. He gonna have to really, really play good and put pressure on them as well. We know D Hunt gonna score, we know Diamond gonna score, DC's gonna show up, but I think after Mop,
Starting point is 00:56:48 we gotta make that turn to be like one of the best players in the East, but then to make a run for sure. Celtics, I don't even think we need to say nothing about them. They just need to be healthy. They need to be doing what they do. Yeah, it'll be built to ass regardless with them. The Knicks, who was the catalyst? I don't know, everybody bro,
Starting point is 00:57:05 y'all gotta just stay healthy, shit. Okay. Can't nobody go down. I think the only person that they can go down, that they'll be cool with is probably, probably Mike L. Oh, they can't lose nobody. They can't, but I think if they lost him,
Starting point is 00:57:21 they'll be cool. Hell nah. They lose Mike L, they gonna be Mike L to X Factor. Yeah lose Mikel, they gonna be. Mikel to X Factor. Yeah. Mikel, Bridges has to play well for the next to win. Like, I love, I love the team.
Starting point is 00:57:34 I like OG though. OG been hoopin', so I ain't worried about OG. But OG is that guy, he can get 20, he can get 10. Mikel, you need him to be great defensively and offensively. Like he's gonna get the best. He's gonna guard the best player. So he gotta be great on both ends.
Starting point is 00:57:56 He's the X factor for the team. He's good on offense and he can frustrate some of those great offensive players they're gonna play. Who they got in the first round? Pistons. Yeah, if he can make it tough on Cade cutting him, he gotta be great. He gotta make it tough on Cade.
Starting point is 00:58:11 They should beat them for a one. They probably should. They should beat the hell out of the Pistons. I'm gonna go with Cat, man. Cat had a hell of a year, especially beginning year. We spoke very, very highly on Kat. I don't know a lot of things, took twice the season, but we need Kat to get back to that.
Starting point is 00:58:29 Obviously the stats is there, but we need that dominance we seen earlier this season. Cause if Kat's playing like that, it's a problem. We know Jailor Brunson gonna hoop. We know OG can contribute, but when Kat is on that shit, it ain't to me people who can fuck with him. And he definitely gotta set the tone. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:44 I feel you. I just don't see it. I guess I'll see first round, but after that, yeah, it could go a couple of different ways for that team. Even some of the fans. First round with it'll be, after them it'll be what? Well, it just depends upon how do you go in a situation.
Starting point is 00:58:58 They gonna have to play Boston. Yeah. And then who will Milwaukee play? They play. They made a pass or something. I know. And then they play Cavaliers. playing, they playing the Cavaliers. I know. And then they play the Cavaliers. We'll be playing the Cavaliers.
Starting point is 00:59:08 Milwaukee versus the Cavs, that's a good one. Speaking of number four, Indiana Pacers, what's up? What need to happen, B-Hand? Barbies! That's crazy. Tyrese has to be great. That's a fact.
Starting point is 00:59:23 Y'all gotta let Ben rock. Bending Mather? Yeah. I'm not mad at it at all. They gotta let him, they legit, all just so they gotta let him rock. It's rotations, man. I think that's gonna be the key for us.
Starting point is 00:59:35 Rotate, we can't be in love with them bum ass rotations. If somebody not contributing, get their ass out the game. And Jarius Walker has to play. Jarius Walker has been playing great the last couple of weeks, because he got a chance to play without being worried about getting pulled out the game.
Starting point is 00:59:47 And Benning Mathers, our X Factor, he's a bucket. He's probably our best scorer off the outside of Pascal with the ball in his hands. Something got to happen for sure. Milwaukee. Yannis. Yannis has to be, he's always great, but he has to, with no dame.
Starting point is 01:00:03 Yeah. He has to be amazing. Why he's a major player, but now he has to be a triple double every game. He has to be the point forward and lead these guys. You got to do it all. And he's been doing the last couple of games. Yeah, it's got to be a whole playoff series. He got to trust his guys, though.
Starting point is 01:00:22 You have to trust him a little bit more. You got to trust. Yeah, I think that we can win that series, but they are coming guys though. You're gonna have to trust him a little bit more. You gotta trust him. Yeah, I think that we can win that series, but they are coming in hot off of seven game win streak. And Yannis, like you said, has been doing everything for that team with no problem. And he's one of the best to ever do it. That's a scary person to see in the playoffs for sure.
Starting point is 01:00:37 And last, let's turn it all easy, Detroit Pistons. For them to upset the Knicks, man, who gotta come alive? I don't know, bro. It's quiet. I'm just glad y'all made the playoffs and turned that city around, man. Historic year for this. I'm gonna just say, I'm not gonna call them the others because I hate when Shaq used to say that.
Starting point is 01:00:55 I'm gonna say the supporting cast. Yeah. Tobias Harris. Tobias, the rest of the gang. Tim Hardaway Jr. They gotta be good. They gotta make shots. They gotta make shots. They gotta play at a high level.
Starting point is 01:01:08 They gonna be banking on K-Cut again. We gonna get a lot of attention. He gonna get the best defender. So that means Tim Hardaway, Duran, Dern, whatever his name is, Dern, Lee Beasley. All these dudes gotta be good. Tobias Harris, they gotta be good. And they got the ability. They been good all year or so.
Starting point is 01:01:27 Yeah, that is one person I'm excited to see the playoffs. Like you said, that playoff defense is different, especially the schemes and honing in on, hey, come to him, get out and ball, I don't care if they win or lose. If you get out there and hoop out and get to Knicks, it's gonna be time for some conversations, bro. Yeah, he might need a shoe.
Starting point is 01:01:43 Damn, that'd be hard. Who? Cause you know, I love D-Book and D-Book, actually the D-Book one of my favorite shoes right now, but you know how they do, they discontinue people's shit. Yeah. Okay, now that you have necks in line. If y'all had to pick somebody to be next in line
Starting point is 01:02:02 for a shoe, who would y'all pick? John Moran, I mean not John Moran. What was I thinking about? I would take, I think Jalen Green. Jalen Green with Adidas? I'm not mad at that. Yeah. You know what, I was having this conversation,
Starting point is 01:02:17 but it has nothing to do with NBA. I said Lamar Jackson, because I was looking at some of the OG cross trainers and like the old Vicks and stuff like that. And I was just like, Lamar Jackson would have a fire ass shoe. Like if they could lock in and really get the essence of Lamar Jackson in the shoe, people would fuck
Starting point is 01:02:32 with that the long way. I think Jalen Green just got a still strong core, like a fan base that really rock with him. I think his shoe would do well. I think K Cunningham just next in line. He got, he got the ability to score. He gonna be around for a long time. Most definitely.
Starting point is 01:02:49 He gonna be consistent for a long time. This Cade Cunningham we gonna see for the next seven years. And he run the team that was a basketball city back. Detroit is a basketball town. Proud Full Town. Proud Full Town. The kind of personality he got though? I mean, you don't hear from him.
Starting point is 01:03:07 He just puts his head down to work. He cool, he's work. But everybody see him call them? You know people fuck with him. You know what I mean? And Devin Booker got a similar personality. You know what I mean? Yeah, he is residing.
Starting point is 01:03:21 Yeah, he's a similar personality, but with them not going, things going how they supposed to, I can see them being like, because the way they doing his shoes anyway. Yeah. It wasn't like a good. Yeah, D-Bucks, send this nigga another pair, bro. He told me he bought a all white pair for $52
Starting point is 01:03:39 at Shoe Quarantor, and that's crazy. It was at Shoe Quarantor. It was at Snipes. A all white pair of D-Books is crazy. So please send my guy a colorway, at least an orange pair, red pair or something. Well see, I think they- All white Hoopa shoes and bro.
Starting point is 01:03:56 Says the surf curry, the Toulouse. But see my problem with the D-Book situation is, and he addressed it, it's not him. Cause like even with the release of his shoe, it was like in Miami. He couldn't even get them in Phoenix. I know, I know they have like weird restrictions with the signatures and stuff,
Starting point is 01:04:09 but he got a collection now with the Chevy blazer and they got a whole car as far as fuck. But that's what I'm saying tapping in with T and sending him something bro. So it could who bro in a different, them is crazy. D book is no slander bro.
Starting point is 01:04:22 But them, them all white period. I'm sorry, Mike. Yeah. Them is me broander, bro, but them, them all white period, I'm sorry, Mike. Them is me, bro. Put a color on them. He got some fire color on them. That'd be the problem, his PEs are so fucking fire. Like, bro, we wanna buy it, bro. Like, them are crazy.
Starting point is 01:04:36 Them are fire. You see the one piece they got? It's the pass of the multicolors, bro. It's some piv. It's just a Shutter Rack board. Yeah. He got some heat, bro. For a a hoo shoe, I rock with it. Just an all white, no all white hoo shoe is fire. Not an all white phone, not an all white Jordan.
Starting point is 01:04:46 All white phone. I made the dope man, that's hard. Yeah, that's the end. That's crazy. All white phone posits is crazy. It's probably out, I think it is. There's a white phone posits. It's quiet though.
Starting point is 01:04:54 Yeah, it's quiet. It's quiet. It's quiet. It's quiet. It's quiet. It's quiet. It's quiet. It's quiet.
Starting point is 01:05:02 It's quiet. It's quiet. It's quiet. It's quiet. It's quiet. It's quiet. It's crazy. All white foam posits is crazy. They probably, it's probably out. I think it is. There's a white foam posit. Yeah, it's quiet though. Yeah, it's quiet. You wouldn't issue for that.
Starting point is 01:05:11 No, but those shoes real comfortable though. So I mean, they did it. They got the comfort right. But all white, all white hoop shoes. That's why I tell you our Air Force is the greatest white ever, bro. Yeah, I ain't even sure we hoop them white shoes. The white mid white ever, bro. For basketball shoes. I ain't really hooped in white shoes. The white mid Force is elite, bro.
Starting point is 01:05:28 Hooping in a white mid is a choice. You don't have to hoop in it. I'm just telling y'all, that's an all white shoe. I think people underrate how hard it is to find an all white shoe that is just crazy. Honestly, there's no better feeling to get a fresh pair of white Air Force 1s. It is, bro.
Starting point is 01:05:44 It'll change your day around. Yeah, you never wanted an all white pair of boots, all white pair of dress shoes. If you had some all white boots. You know who had some classic all white dress shoes? RMP John Willis from Pops. You know, Tic Tac shoes. Charlie Wilson, nigga. Don't put that smile on Charlie Wilson.
Starting point is 01:06:02 He would never. Charlie Wilson for sure. He said him tic tacs. Yeah, he said him tic tacs. I was talking about tic tacs too. I was like, what's all white? What's the loudest fuck out for you? I used to be rolling at this shit. Damn, man, I'm shitty.
Starting point is 01:06:17 He ain't gonna be in that Friday. Me too. That's what I'm saying. Like, how do you replace those type of, them characters are too stuck in our head. I told you they're gonna have his funeral, bro. Like Felicia, you can replace Felicia. She gonna be back too, she gonna be,

They gonna come out, Felicia gonna be pretty as hell. Cause she a pretty woman. Like House of Pains, old girl. Yeah Felicia gonna be pretty as hell. Cause she wasn't, she a pretty woman. Like House of Pains, old girl. Yeah, she gonna be pretty.
Starting point is 01:06:47 Bro, she's the go, the go bean of all time, bro. She went from the crack house to the courtroom, bro, defending people. She went from being on a pipe to being a lawyer. She was silent too. But Jeff think he already got Friday written. I wrote it already. I'm gonna say a lot of people agree with him in the comments.
Starting point is 01:07:02 It was just like, he owned something. Telling it out, bro. I wrote it already. My boy know the script. That was just like, he owned something. Telling y'all, bro, I didn't wrote it already. My boy know the script. That's happening with your lawyer. Cause when it come out. That boy Cuba pulled a fast one on you. You better pay the big three.
Starting point is 01:07:14 I mean, speaking of Hooper. Better get your rights, boy. Speaking of Hooper, I see Brandon Jennings, he scored what, six, 11 points on me in six minutes. Oh, he busted your ass in, 11 points on me in six minutes. He busted your ass in the second quarter. His rookie year, y'all rookie year. So as soon as you got in, Coach was like,
Starting point is 01:07:31 hey, get this nigga the fuck out of here. I said, all right, this up, man. I see him post that. I was like, damn, that's his all-star year. That's the only fucking year he talk about. Cause I think- Boy, did you play? What he played.
Starting point is 01:07:45 He was good for three years. He just keep talking about them three years. You win in the matchup and more points to him and like wins. Yeah, I know. Somebody had sent me a, matter of fact, I can't remember. I think it was 2014 or 15. It was like November 21st or 24th.
Starting point is 01:08:02 I can't remember. Somebody had sent it to me. I had screen shot it, but I don't even feel like pulling my phone out. And he was splitting time with DJ Augustine at this time. That's when I knew he wasn't shit no more. So I was like, damn, you splitting time with DJ Augustine? No shame to DJ.
Starting point is 01:08:17 DJ was a good player, but best player in their history. Yeah, but like, I think I had 28, I think he had like nine. Damn. I was like, they said that's when I started podcast. I said, this is when Tough Crowd came available. It was a tough night. So he was like, yeah, I'm having a bad moment. It's Tough Crowd, you fucking right.
Starting point is 01:08:39 He turned too close with the designer. It's what, yeah, you know, it's before the Achilles too. He already started thinking Splendid Time with DJ. Yeah, I probably should start looking for my second time, my second career. Shut up, so my boy says, sweatshirt. Yeah, I'm start thinking something else.
Starting point is 01:08:54 Start visiting China and shit. Hey, I went dying this morning when you posted the rig. He said, Bucks legend. Real Bucks legend. Talk your shit. But shout out to him, but after that rookie year, after maybe his third year, nobody was checking for him no more.
Starting point is 01:09:15 Man, I absolutely love this shit. Shout out to Todd Lawson, man. He was just like, hey, I ain't say nothing to Jeff and Luke. They've been too quiet in his own future residence. He said, I'm just keep going to Brandon. He said, that nigga's too quiet. Yeah, he said, Joe, I ain't talking enough. He on, he on BJS.
Starting point is 01:09:30 Oh, Tom, you talking shit? Yeah, he on BJS. Shadz and Ty Lawson, man. I already got footage of him. They made a whole fucking reel about me buzzing his ass. Lord Jesus. College, college in NBA? Nah, I mean, I don't even remember him in the league.
Starting point is 01:09:48 I don't remember playing him in the league. I ain't even trying to throw shade. I know he was good. I know it was good, but I don't remember playing him in the league really, but I remember college. He got busy at Denver for sure. Nah, yeah, he was, he had the biggest, he got the biggest deal out of us
Starting point is 01:10:04 after them first four years. Ty was nice. I just don't remember like having a game with him. Yeah. Cause they team was, you know, it was on the West. Me and Brandon was on the East. So we played more times, but. Yeah. They had a whip boy.
Starting point is 01:10:16 Oh yeah. They had a squad. Ken Free. Yeah. They had a whippy over there for sure. Yeah. They had a squad. I just like the competitive with all about this cause everybody ain't taking the two-seaters, but I like everybody popping that shit. Because at the end of the day, y'all was the best of the best in our class.
Starting point is 01:10:29 And that's the fire shit about it. Yeah, but all that's cute, but niggas gotta get some straightening though. Yeah, we got to. Oh no, but Brandon out of everybody that's talking, he talking the most, but like, he didn't really win at all. Like everybody else played on like winning teams and shit like that. He didn't really win at all.
Starting point is 01:10:45 Everybody else played on winning teams and shit like that. He was pretty much a loser in his whole career. Damn. He was, he was on bum teams all the time. Yeah, he wasn't on any of my reasonable teams. He made the playoffs, that first year they was a 60. After that, he was on bum teams. I was never on bum teams besides I got to Minnesota.
Starting point is 01:11:05 After that, every team I was on on bump teams besides I got to Minnesota. After that. Every team I was on was clubbed. I seen my boy Hooper with Ian, the other lefty that was raw when we was kids. He was playing in some little league. Brandon been, he out there really playing basketball again. Like hitting all these tournaments and shit. I said, oh shit, he tried to wheel himself back in shape.
Starting point is 01:11:22 Hey, shit did, man. Shit did, man. Hey Gil been having me die, cause he done said, BCB, then he said, show me these bums, they playing against us. And you say, bums? And Gil, and Gil, cause you can do a lot of talking to Gil.
Starting point is 01:11:37 Yeah. Now I'm about to call your ass out. I'm gonna beat, I'm gonna beat Biggie. I'm gonna blow, first I'm gonna beat Gil last. Then I'm gonna beat Brandon Gil. You gonna be my'm a bro. First I'm a big Gil ass. Then I'm a be Brandon Gil. You gonna be my warmup game. I know that knee don't work. So I ain't gotta do too much.
Starting point is 01:11:51 Then I'm a be Brandon. Matter of fact, Dre, I told him Dre could beat him. Cause he was like, ain't nobody over 40. I don't know how Gil is, whatever. I was like, I got you. Yeah, I was like, Andre can be him. I know Andre can be Gil right now. Well, that's gonna be hell of a game, boy.
Starting point is 01:12:06 Gil can't move for real. We seen this. We seen this. Drake called him out too. Drake was like, we played in the big three, bro. Nah, I mean, respect. You know. We ain't saying, Drake.
Starting point is 01:12:18 We're still. I'm talking about right now. We'll rock with the home team. I'm rocking, I'm rolling. You know what I mean? If need be, you know, always. If need be. What I'm saying, I, damn it, hold on. I'm rolling. You know what I mean? If need be, you know, always. What I'm saying, I, dammit, hold on.
Starting point is 01:12:28 I'm rolling, Dre will be. I'm rolling. Be here for the work cause you know what I'm saying? He just had a match up with Ayo. Yeah, and I mean- He's a year older than, what's his name? And he a year older than Gil. And I'm taking, I'm taking Ayo.
Starting point is 01:12:38 Ayo is in better shape than Gil. Yes. But Gil be playing so much, bro. No he don't. Gil do not play. I think Gil is playing, bro. No he don't. Gil do not play. I think Gil is playing, bro. He baiting him. He pulling a fast one, bro.
Starting point is 01:12:50 Man, I seen that knee. I played Gil when he had number nine. I know, but Gil's on the fourth. I played Gil when he was in Orlando. I was very comfortable. I'm rolling, but I'm saying, Gil got enough money to afford that drug to go on your knee.
Starting point is 01:13:03 He do got enough. Well, he never took questions, there's money. That'll give you a good 40 minutes. I don't think Gil got enough money. I don't think Gil got enough money. Dre, that's the difference, I don't want them cheating against you, Dre, they ain't cheating. We need a PD test before the game. The only one that really got it over there still
Starting point is 01:13:21 is like Rashad McCants. I wouldn't tell nobody play him. Yeah, Rashad is. Cause when he was in the big three, he was active. Yeah, they shot a hollis at him and they going back and forth. Rashad was on the yard at Rikers. For sure.
Starting point is 01:13:36 Yeah, he was on the yard at Rikers. Rest of them over there, Nick Young, the coach now, he don't hoop no more, he quit every time. That's my dog. Coach Swaggy. He do. I just, I don't know, more. He quit every time, that's my dog. He's swaggy. He do. I just, I don't know about it, but I think they can still hoop for sure. Nick Young was cold.
Starting point is 01:13:49 This type shit. He probably still can get buckets, but. Yeah, one on one. Yeah, that's his. That's why I was like, what the fuck is saying J.R.R. Smith? Nah, Nick's one on ones, that's different, bro. You got that skill for skill.
Starting point is 01:14:01 Yeah, Nick Young was nasty. Yeah, so that's why I'm like, niggas like him and shit, Nick Young was nasty. Yeah, so that's why I'm like, Nick is like him and, shit, who else is colder than one on one? And they probably who went in the ones between Nick and JR Smith. That's a dream matchup for me. It's two of my favorite players,
Starting point is 01:14:13 but who went in that? Probably JR. I'm gonna go with JR. I don't know. Nick Young was cold. That'd be a hell of a game, bro. It would, but I think Nick is gonna settle for the J. JR gonna shoot a lot of them motherfuckers, too. I'm gonna say, it ain't gonna be no drop. This is gonna be all hell of a game. It would, but I think Nick is gonna settle for the J. JR gonna shoot a lot of them motherfuckers too.
Starting point is 01:14:26 It ain't gonna be no drive. This is gonna be all pull back threes. But I think JR gives more effort on defense. And I think JR beat Nick off the dribble and punch on his ass. Even though Nick Young is a freak athlete for sure, that's very underrated about his game, by the way, he was a freak athlete coming up.
Starting point is 01:14:43 But his game is way more chilled than JR's bro. JR going to the hole and Winn-Miller under the rim bro. That'd be a great matchup man. That'd be a hell of a matchup. That's something I would see. I would honestly rather see that than Beasley and Lance. I just see but I'll never forget that Chris today game bro when Nick Young was icing on the run and them bro.
Starting point is 01:15:04 That's all I was like, yeah, if he could do that against them bro, he'd, Jerm might have a tough time. Nick Young was on it though. Nah, he could score that bitch. Just a lot of one-on-one players doing the league that was, really didn't look like they can get 30 a night, but on that one-on-one shit, it's an open gym.
Starting point is 01:15:19 They'd be the best nigga out there. Somebody brought up Monta Ellis recently, I said yeah, Monta Ellis is somebody a lot of people would not want them to run with, especially his prom. Yeah. I remember I seen that nigga all the way back when we was in high school, bro. Score 52 in the AAU game.
Starting point is 01:15:32 All to know that this nigga averaged 50 in high school. He's so fast. This nigga averaged 50 in high school. You want to hear something funny that'll make y'all laugh? You know how you do your NBA comp? I had my interview, right? And you do the draft and interview process. It was like, who you think you play like?
Starting point is 01:15:50 It's so funny. I was like, yeah, I'm like a Lou Williams and a Monte Ellis type of player. Ain't that some shit? How the fuck would I compare myself to these two niggas? Crash out. I was like, why Monte? All right, Lou is a year older than me.
Starting point is 01:16:03 Lou, yeah, and Monte, nigga, Lou is a year older than me. Lou, yeah, and Monta, nigga. And Monta a week older than me. Yeah, Monta. I'm talking about Monta Ellis, Lou. It's how long them niggas in the league. Yeah, that's crazy. But I'm thinking they that much older. They was already best by the time you got there.
Starting point is 01:16:14 I'm thinking they that much older than me. These niggas is a year older than me. Yeah, they was already best. They was already four years in. Yeah, and I'm talking about you. I'm a Lou Williams, Monta Ellis type of player. But kinda though. In high school, I mean in college, I wasn't. I played'm a Lou Williams, Monte Ellis type of player. But kinda though. In high school, I mean in college I wasn't.
Starting point is 01:16:26 I played like them. Oh for sure, Monte. But I'm like, when I met him, he like, yeah, I'm, nigga, I'm 38. I'm like, what the fuck, man, I'm 36. What the fuck? What the fuck? My player cop is somebody in my same grade.
Starting point is 01:16:39 Not for real. The same age as me. That's some shit. Yeah, both of them shit. Lou, old five. I thought Monte was old four, but he might age as me? That's a shit. Yeah, both of them shit. Lu, old five, I thought Montae was old four, but he might be old five too. JR is old four.
Starting point is 01:16:49 They the same year. Yeah. That's a hell of a comparison though. But to say that and not realize when you say it like- And they just played in high school together. Yeah, nigga, like when I thought about it, like after it was over, like years later, I'm like, damn, these niggas the same age as me.
Starting point is 01:17:04 But did they say, oh, okay T-Wiz, you get a call. They were just like, when I said it, I'm like, damn these niggas the same age as me. But did they say, oh, okay T, we'll give you a call. When I said it, I was thinking, I wasn't even thinking they was like, I thought they was five, six years older than me. You know what I mean? They like, when I said the man was like, well you definitely gonna see them for a long time coming. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 01:17:18 And I was like, damn. I don't know if you scared them when they hit you with the, oh, we'll give you a call. Nah, nah, nah, nah. That's solid. Man, that's crazy. Montaels and Steph was underrated back court. Obviously it had to change.
Starting point is 01:17:30 It had to change, but they was crazy, man. Montaels was a verified bucket, bro. Yeah, then he went to go play with Brandon. He did. Yup. And they ain't went and shit. Full circle moment. They ain't went and shit. Well sir, come on man. I ain't winning shit.
