And, but a big shout out to olive pop. They were our first sponsor on the tour. So thank you, olive pop for making this possible. That's a new kind of soda that has 90% less sugar than other sodas. We all grew up drinking even better ingredients that supports digestive health. All, you know, I've been drinking soda for all these years, and guess what?

Started drinking Olipop because they do make ginger ale, and I feel so much better. My favorite Olipop favorite is ginger ale, brand new Ridge Rush. Check it out. It's delicious. All right, without any further ado, the guy that's coming to the stage right now,

he's your head coach of the Atlanta Falcons, Mr. Raheem Morris. Yeah. He back there watching on TV when he should have been standing at the side right here. Here he is, ladies and gentlemen, Raheem Morris. And the man changed the script, guys. Before we even start, I just want to know, do you need some fresh legs out there at camp? Say that again.

Do you need some fresh legs? I can still go. I promise you. I tell Uncle all the time. I still got it. Even at, listen, even at 56. I'll tell you this. Ocho definitely can give me a couple of releases.

There we go. And then we're going to stop right there, guys. We got no routes. Coach, how you doing? I'm doing outstanding. I'm in this beautiful city of Atlanta. I got one of the best fan bases in the National Football League. And we about to go out and earn it pretty soon.

And we got so much to prove to the city, for the people. We're bringing this thing back, and it's just an exciting time. Coach, this is your second time being a full-time NFL head coach. What can you take into this experience that you learned from your first time

being a head coach in Tampa? What is the difference between that Raheem Morris and this Raheem Morris? I've said this so many times, Shannon, that the biggest difference when you're 32 years old, you got all the answers. You know, the 47-year-old Raheem Morris, I'm such a better listener, and I can take that into account. I'm able to detail my work. I'm able to surround myself with people that can give me great information. I'm able to listen to those things, take it in, make decisions, be able to sign guys like Justin Simmons, be able to sign Matthew Judon, be able to take this thing

and listen to the people, listen to the fans, you know, innovate and create every single day, be a part of the culture that's here and has been built already. And like all of those things in my life are different because of the experience I was able to go through. I remember you came down and been with us in 2012 in DC. I was with Mike Shanahan. I got a chance to go to L.A. and do these different things and be around different head coaches. And I've just grown so much since that moment. And that was right after becoming a head coach,

listening to you talk and the passion and the energy that you brought trying to get players like you two to come play for me. And that's what I wanted, and that's what we got. You draft the quarterback. Look, you sign Kirk Cousins in free agency. The eighth pick roll around. There's a quarterback available. You take a quarterback.

You've been around the NFL for 25 years. You understand the dynamic with quarterbacks. They're different than any other position. No doubt. So when you sign Kirk, did you think Penix Jr. would be available? And once he was available, you make that decision that we're going to draft him.

What was the conversation like between if you had a conversation with Kurt Cousins or you didn't have a conversation, but you had a conversation with his agent? It goes back well before even a conversation with Kurt. It's when I got the job coming here in the interview process. The process was about Kurt. You come in and you want to get immediate winner right now. And how do you do that? Go get Kurt Cousins. And that was a part of my interview script.

That was a part of my plan. Art the blank. Sell a vision. Sell a dream. Terry Fontenot. Here it is. How do we find a way to go get him? Put him in part of this fold so we can go win football games right now.

And if we go get him, we're going to be in no position to draft the quarterback in the next couple of years. You know, when you talk about quarterbacks, we understand how important that position is. Obviously, in order to sustain a consistent success for any team, if you look at the top teams in the NFL, it always comes down to the quarterback position. Is there a disconnect in any way with the quarterback competing with each other, understanding the pressures that are on Kirk Cousins if he doesn't play well, that his job is in jeopardy? I think the message was clear coming in. It was

open, it was honest, it was clear. Kirk's our starter. Kirk's going to take us to places that we want to go to. Mike is going to come in and he's going to watch what it looks like, what it feels like. He wants to see what it looked like when you had your quarterbacks in your day with John Elway. He wants to see what it looked like. You ain't having the quarterbacks, but what it looked like

to go out there. You've won Super Bowls at two different stops. You've been an assistant on a lot of different head coaches. What is the common denominator between winning and losing? The people. It's a people-first business in everything we do. When you were a Raven, I watched it live in hand. I came into that stadium, and I watched the confidence in the people. I watched Ray Lewis talk smack. I watched you talk smack. And we went in there like, man, we about to beat them.

And then y'all let us know after the game that y'all wasn't. And it was the people that was involved with the organizations, it was all about that. And here we're building a people first business and we're doing it with us, we're doing it with our people, with our fans and like I just think that's just the messaging, like you gotta have that type of mentality. It's gotta be a people first mentality,

it has to be at all times in everything we do. We're talking about with the fans, we're talking about with our community, we're talking about in the building, we're talking about with myself and Terry Fontenot and our relationship, Arthur Blank and how he communicates with everybody, how we go about our whole process. It's the people.

It's the people. It's simple. As a coach, you know, players, we come into a season with a goal in mind. We set goals and goals that we want to hit, standards we want to maintain throughout a season. As a head coach for the Atlanta Falcons, what are your personal goals for this season? You know, it's hard to set goals when you're head coach because everybody's got the same one. It's Super Bowl. We all got the same one, right? And make no mistake about it. And if you don't win it, obviously you don't feel like you reached your ultimate goal. I was fortunate enough to do

it twice. You were fortunate enough to do it three times. And I'm going to lap your ass. I did it. I did it on Madden. I did it. That shit count. Fuck that. We count those two.

I know, but seriously, you had a chance. I remember you and T.O. teamed up. Yeah. We went 4-12 that year. We did. We went 4-12. Me and T.O., I don't know what happened. I don't know what it was.

I know what happened. A young man named Cody Grimm playing safety for Raheem Morris got a pick six on your boy. He walked it in, and we was talking smack. Oh, that's right. That's right. Oh, you know that's right. I'm a reminder. Having played this game as long as I have, having been around it,

when I tell people, and I haven't, I've been to a Falcon game when my brother played. That was many, many years ago at Fulton County Stadium. But from the outside looking in, I say the Falcons are unlike any other stadium because if you go to it and you watch it, it's an experience. It's an experience like no other. And if you convince those it and you watch it it's an experience it's an experience like no other and if you convince those fans that you're gonna win you saw how excited troy was in the in in the green room back there you see how these fans are how do you how do you your message like i'm a winner i've won i know what it takes to win how do you get this fan base behind y'all

and said look we need y'all to show up in Pittsburgh. The first game is Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh travels well. How do you get them to make sure they don't sell them tickets and show up? I could tell you right now, Atlanta's not built that way. We are from everywhere, right? We are from everywhere. We're from New York. We're from Philly.

We're from everywhere. We're from Atlanta. We're from all these places, right? We're all from everywhere. We're from New York. We're from Philly. We're from everywhere. We're from Atlanta, from all these places, right? But Tampa, this is how you do it. I was here in 2016. You got to earn it. And then I know the people that were here in 2016 remember what that dome felt like when we played Green Bay, that last game versus Seattle. They know what that felt like inside that dome, and you got to find a way to earn it and bring that back. Now, you got to go finish the deal. And that's what we're trying to do.

So if you go out there and earn it with these fans, they're going to show up, they're going to show out, and it's going to be just energy in the building that's just unmatched. And they're going to love you for life. Forever. You're a veteran coach now. I mean, like you said, when you first got your head coaching job, you were 32 years of age. Now you're 47. This is your second stop.

So now, what is your mentorship or leadership role as you give back to coaches that are in their first year? You know, it's awesome because that's what you do consistently throughout this whole business. I see young coaches all the time, and the whole goal is to always give back. consistently throughout this whole business, where I see young coaches all the time, and the whole goal is to always give back. So if we have ways to ever find ways to give back, whether it be youth coaches, whether it be high school coaches,

whether it be college coaches, whether it be coaches from within, that's on the rise. I'm finding that new young Raheem Morris, like Mike Tomlin found me. I'm finding that guy like, rest in peace, Monty Kiffin found me. And be able to bring those guys into your organization and teach them your ways, and then let them go out and branch off a little bit and find their own way. right? And then you find your own identity and what it means to be a coach and how you want to form your script and how you want to touch each and every person out here and the individuals that you coach, right? I've been fortunate enough to be able to

touch people's lives. Whether you're talking about with Rondé Barber from way back in the day when we're the same age and I'm able to touch his life or you're talking about Jalen Ramsey winning a championship out in LA and you're able to touch his life. Or you're talking about Jalen Ramsey winning a championship out in LA and you're able to touch his life and you become a different coach in his eyes just because of the presence that you have every day and the amount of effort that you're giving that one individual to make him better.

And I want to make everybody in my team feel that way that I'm trying to make them better, no matter what the circumstances are. Whether it's competitive, whether it's something I can give him to make him better, whatever the case may be, you got to be willing to go deeper than that because the relationships matter more than anything.

I got a question. That's a good one. Being a head coach, obviously when you started, you were 32. Now that you're 47 and there was just a small issue with Tua and Mr. Brian Flores. As a head coach now, how do you navigate knowing which players you can coach hard and which players you have to push? Yeah, which ones you can push. Like how do you navigate that? the era the era players not is different

I ain't calling nobody soft But you just gotta you gotta navigate a little different. So I'm saying how do you do that in today's era? What the players are making? Who God knows how much my app and really don't take coaching that well, you can't do irregular things with regular ass relationships. Oh, shit. Wow. Hold on. Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Write that down. Write that down, Ojo. Stay with me now. Stay with me. Stay with me. Ain't nobody got no pen? That was a good one, boy. That was a good one.

Give me that one more time. Let me put it in my phone. You can't do irregular things with regular ass relationships i'm gonna use that with real so so when you when you when you live in the era that these players live in right now right and not just at our level right i'm talking like high school your kids right they live in this social media area when they go home and they lose a game they didn't just lose it in front of where just at our level, right? I'm talking like high school, your kids, right? They live in this social

media area. When they go home and they lose a game, they didn't just lose it in front of whoever was at the stadium that night. They lost it in front of the whole state. They lost it in front of across the world, across the nation. And the stuff that's happening with these kids and how they press, that mental health is real because so many people know when you drop that pass. When you dropped it, about 16 people knew. Right? When our high school kids drop the pass now, I mean, the whole world knows. And how do you address that? And how do you go about that business, right? You let them know you in it with them.

Right? I'm going to be right there with them. I remember Jalen Ramsey had a bad game versus the Buffalo Bills in the open after we won the Super Bowl. I went to his house and I told him, I don't give a damn about none of that. We're coming out next week and we're going to show out and we're going to go get it. And I'm going to fight right with you. And I'm going to, I'm going to stay in this lab. Yes, Stephen D's got the best of us that day.

Yeah. Right. But the next guy going to get it on his behalf. Right. They want to know you there for him. Like, and you got to have that type of style. Like, and you can coach people hard. They'll let you coach them hard.

You can. Okay. And you know who you can. You know who want that motivation. You know who want to be driven. You're smart enough to figure it out. You wanted to be driven. You a pit bull, right? That's who you are.

You want to be that guy, right? And then there's guys you got to go pat in the back a little bit and bring them with you. Okay. That's all. Let me ask you this. And we're going to get you out of here

on this one, Raheem. I ain't going nowhere. I'm leading the show. You can stay as long as you want. Obviously, you had other opportunities. How do you convince coaches that look like you that don't feel like that opportunity is ever going to come? Because you had, think about it, there was a 15-year gap between the time that you were the head coach until you got it again. And you had interviews.

And did you ever think, like, man, I don't know if I'm going to ever get another chance to be a head coach again. got it again. And you had interviews. And did you ever think like, man, I don't know if I'm going to ever get another chance to be a head coach again. So you ready, Shannon? It's real simple for me, right? I was a 32-year-old head coach. And I did it again. And people were telling me, you should have had it a long time ago.

I don't give a damn what you people were saying. I'm going to work for it. I'm going to work for it. I'm going to go get it. And when it happens, I'm going to be ready. So I'm going to keep developing my skill set that when it happens again, there's going to be no denying on what you can and how you're going to be able to do it and go about your business. And I don't give a damn what color I am. Results don't know color. I like it. I like it.

I like it. You look at what you've done. You've got Grady Jarrett. You bring him back. You sign Justin Simmons. You sign Matthew Judon. You just gave A.J. Terrell a boatload of money. You locked him up.

I drafted him, too. Don't forget. You did. You did draft him. So what are the expectations of this defense considering you've got guys that have been pro bowls that have been to the all pro aj terrell is one of the better young corners in the league and we know gertie jared is one of the outstanding defensive linemen in the league what is the expectation that's your area of expertise as you know as you know it's really simple right

stats are for losers yes their expectations that go out there and beat dogs, right? We got to find ways to affect the quarterback and make them just feel uncomfortable at all times. And once you find a way to make them uncomfortable and you dominate rundowns and you get the ball back, then just go watch our offense shine, right? That's what winning teams do. That's how you form your identity.

That's how you make things move. That's how the needle moves. And the next thing you talking about it on your shows about the stats. We don't care about none of that. We care about the dog mentality it's going to take to get there. That's what our goal is. That's what the expectations are. I like it.

Ladies and gentlemen, Atlanta Falcons head coach, your head coach, Raheem Barnes. Go for that. Oh, man. I see y'all. All right. Raheem Barnes. What time practice in the morning? They got me working. They got me getting the mic. All right, guys.

How do you balance the two? Because obviously you're good at this rap game. You play basketball at an elite level. What's the schedule? How do you find time to... Because basketball, you're on a basketball scholarship. Yeah. But you still, this is your passion also. So how do you find time to because basketball you're on a basketball scholarship yeah and but you still this is your passion also so how do you balance that I mean it is hard but I mean it's not impossible right you just gotta it's just time management but I know in the summer

I gotta take full advantage of my time in music you know what I'm saying so I just try to go full throttle while still working out and trying to get better in the offseason. Because, like, during the season, Coach Mokey like, all right, this is my time. You know what I'm saying? That was kind of our, like, you know, that was kind of our deal. Like, you know, you give me everything you got in the season. And in the summer, I'm going to let you rock and do your music. So, yeah.

Tell us the story. I saw you over at Cairns. And you was telling the story that you had a concert one night. You had to do the concert, but you had to fly back, got back early in the morning. You was sleeping. You was tired, but you know you had to get it because Coach Mulkey was going to be on your you-know-what had you not. Yeah, no, so what happened was Rod Wave, he gave me the chance to open up for him in Atlanta. So we had a game that night. The next day after games games we always have off days

so I flew to Atlanta on my off day and then I drove back seven hours to go to BR right and like I'm already knowing it's a stigma of like nah she can't do both for real like you know what I'm saying so I don't even want to give people a thought to even be like oh she came to practice and she was tired no when I came to practice I was like bouncing off the walls for real like because I knew that I had to come in and kill you know what I'm saying and she was tired. No, when I came to practice, I was like bouncing off the walls for real. Because I knew that I had to come in and kill. You know what I'm saying? And I was the first one in the gym, last one out, like always.

So, I mean, my mindset, you know what I'm saying? I think it's more mind over matter. I think your mind can make you do things that your body sometimes won't allow when you determine. And that's how I feel like I work all the time. You know what? We all have dreams when we're growing up as kids. Obviously, my dream, I want to be an NFL player. One of your dreams, I'm sure, is to play in the WNBA. Will you continue your path as far as, I don't want to word the right way,

actually wanting to rap as well and be able to balance both at the highest level yeah i think it'll be easier honestly because you know i don't have as much commitment yeah like oh my gosh with school you got you got school first of all then you got tutoring sessions and all of that and you got weights and you got all the other you know requirements of an athlete practice everything so i think it'll be easier you know'm saying, to be able to build my schedule and how I want to do. My goal is to, like, play in an arena during the day and then sell out that same arena at night, like, playing basketball.

That's what I'm talking about. That's live. You have to work that out with the coach. I don't know if she's going to be going for that one. She better go. Flage, you just dropped your project called Best of Both Worlds in July. It's a nine-song studio EP.

What was your process? Have you always wanted to do an album? Well, yeah, it's an EP, not really an album. You know, I want to save the album title for when I do my big one. Okay. But, yeah, I mean, just putting together a body of work, you know what I'm saying, that's always been a goal of mine. putting together a body of work, you know what I'm saying? That's always been a goal of mine.

And, like, you know, having Lil Wayne on it was just, like, I knew I needed that big stamp, that big cosign, right? Like, this girl, she dropped a project. Okay, it's cool. Like, she go to LSU. That's a vibe. But, like, when you got Lil Wayne on it, it kind of holds some weight. You know what I'm saying? And so it was just important for me to put that out,

and the title was important because it was just, like, I really got the best of both worlds. When did you realize that you could rap? When I was on America's Got Talent. I was on America's Got Talent when I was about 14, and I got the golden buzzer. Simon Cowell came to the back, and he was like, one day you could be a superstar. And I'm like, bro, that's Simon Cowell. He don't even like singers for real. Like, so him telling like a young black girl that she can like, he sees some type of superstar power in her.

That kind of just, you know, just gave me the confidence that I could do it. Because like right before America's Got Talent, I was on a rap game with Jermaine Dupri and I lost. And so that was like when I lost that, I went into my room and I just wrote all day. And then America's Got Talent called and I was ready for the opportunity. And I got that validation that I kind of needed as a 14-year-old. And ever since then, nobody could tell me nothing for sure. Who are some of the artists, as you continue to grow in your career, who are some of the female artists or male that you would like to collab with?

Man, I don't want to just do rap like i have an r&b project out i don't know if y'all heard that it's called for the lovers y'all go listen to that it's dope but um i want to work with like adele uh like i said i want to work with rod wave um i want to work with meg it's a lot of people i want to work with kaylani scissor a lot of different people in the industry. But people really love the craft. That's who I want to work with. That's life. That's life.

You've already won a national championship. So what would mean more to you, winning a Grammy in rap or winning a WNBA title? Ooh, that's a good one. I think being, I've done that, being an Olympic gold medalist. Oh, you want to be on, okay, 2028? 2028. Okay. Yeah.

I think, and don't, you know, the WNBA, they're like the best players in the world to me, but I think like, you know, when I sat down on my podcast with Kalia Copper, she was telling me like, that's elite, you know, playing the best players in the world and saying that you're one of the best in the world. Like, you know, when I sat down on my podcast with Clea Copper, she was telling me, like, that's elite, you know, playing the best players in the world and saying that you're one of the best in the world. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, that's dope. But that Grammy is something that's special to me only because I got into music because of the man on my shirt, my dad. So, you know, I always felt like music was our bond.

And, you know, he was murdered before I was born. And I felt like, you know, his legacy got cut short. And it was it was always like my job to continue the legacy and make sure people know his name and so getting that Grammy would kind of just be like that that way to just cement his legacy off season what is Flage working on what is she doing to improve her basketball game yeah for me for me, this offseason, I mean, I've been working on it a lot, but, like, I keep getting better. Like, it's crazy. Like, you know the process of you seeing that leap you take? Like, from my freshman to my sophomore year, I took a beautiful leap.

And, you know, it was more so my confidence. And then this year I just learned that it's more, it's like 90% mental and 10% physical, right? But it's just been getting my cardio together, just getting my ball handling together, and just being more consistent on my shooting. I think I've become a better, a smarter player just watching film. But for me, it's been my cardio, just been working on that. Because last year I feel like I was kind of out of shape.

I'm a freak athlete, so my endurance, my energy carries me but I still feel like fatigue I don't want to feel like that like because I play both sides of the ball and I want to be you know I want to be defensive player this year defensive player of the year as well this year so I'm gonna have to be in immaculate shape to do both can I ask you this you won the national championship you guys beat Iowa yeah the next year you guys came come back and you played them in the semifinals right and you faced Kaitlyn Clark again was there a difference between her in the national championship game in which you guys won and the semifinal games in which you guys lost um no she's the same player um I feel like a player like Kaitlyn you can only contain her it's not like no we fin to make her score 10 points this game.

Like, that's not going to happen. You know what I'm saying? But it's just like, I feel like our team the year before was just more equipped. Like, you know, I think. To deal with it. Yeah, and we had more of a strategy. We had like a, you know, a better, like a fuller roster. We had a deeper bench. Like, our bench won that championship game for us that first year.

You know what I'm saying? It wasn't even really the starter. So, I think, you know, we needed more depth and we didn't have that, but I feel like we gave it all we had, but this year, you know, we're coming different.

You know, I wish Clark was still here, but she's going dominating the league now, so, you know, this next year, you know, we're coming for it for sure.

If you think about what you're doing with rap, what you're doing with basketball, outside of that, what do you like to do? You got to have something that you enjoy that you would consider. I don't consider you rapping. I don't consider that a hobby. That is something that you can do as a profession.

Right. So what, outside of that, what is your piece, your safe haven? My little brothers. I have four of them. Yeah, I have four little brothers. And just being a good big sister, man. I know I'm a role model for a lot of kids, but those babies in that house, they look at me like I'm just the best person in the world.

But you're queen. Queen Sheva, for real. Just trying to be the best person. I feel like now kids are being raised on social media. You know what I'm saying? And it's true, it's like nothing you can really do about it. All they're doing is on the iPad. So just being that person that they can really look up to. You know what I'm saying? Like off the camera. Because they really know me for real.

So that's just important to me. And I just like to chill. Do regular kid stuff most of the time. But I'm really deep into the community too. Like I got a lot of big stuff planned for the community. So you gave backpacks or something back in Savannah, back in your hometown? Oh my God, yeah. Every year I do like this six-figure giveback,

right? And like all of my NIL partners, I'm like, I tell them, put in the budget. I need all of this. You know what I'm saying? I need JBL. I need speakers, headphones for the kids. Puma, we gave away like a thousand shoes. Jan Sports, we gave away a thousand backpacks. Wow.

That's live. Give it up. That's live. That's amazing. Yeah, and so we do that every year. Sports, we gave away a thousand backpacks. Wow. That's live. Give it up. That's live. That's amazing. Yeah, and so, we do that every year. This year, we gave away thousands and thousands and thousands of stuff for kids

and they were sending me their pictures. It's so important for kids to go to school looking good, like, you know what I'm saying, and having that confidence, like, it means the world and so I know that

and so just doing that for the community, it just does something for me. And also, I just became an ambassador for the K-Y'all Fund. Okay. And, you know, my grandma died from cancer. My cousin died from cancer. And, you know, I was just sitting down with them,

and they were just saying how cancer is three times more likely. It's some type of gene in black women. It's three times more likely to affect black women. So I'm partnering with them, and we're going to send a bus down to Savannah to give away free mammograms for all women and things like that. So certain things in the community, I just try to do. That's amazing. That's awesome. That's awesome.

You see what's transpired with the WNBA. There are more eyes. The viewership is through the roof. The sponsorship, the advertising, the sales, and you see what's transpired with the WNBA there are more eyes the the viewership is through the roof the sponsorship the advertising the sales and you see what's going on how does that make you feel to see the the transformation great players uh Asia Wilson and we got Stewie and you got Anescu and you got all these and then obviously you get Caitlin Clark and you get Angel Reese and you get Raquel Jackson and Cameron Brink who's injured but that's what you're about to go into in the next year or two yeah no I think it's beautiful and I think it's it's even more beautiful how it's like trickling down like that last weekend I was

coaching overtime select where it's like a bunch of high school girls they get in this national media attention and it's capping them because of what's going on in the WNBA and what we're doing in college is giving them that experience it's going to be a time in the league where a girl is going to go into a league and she's going to have a million dollar deal like that's going to be crazy you know what I'm saying like that's awesome like nobody would have thought of that and it's not probably not going to be me but it's going to be that next generation so I think it's just like about us inspiring the other little girls that's coming like it's beautiful to see I'm excited to be A part of it for sure, but they're the best of the best for real. It's live. I like it short-term goals

long-term goals Short-term goals. I want to leave my team to a national championship. Yeah For sure Short time girls before I graduate graduate I need one of my songs to at least go gold or platinum so I got that yeah

when I say stream I mean that go stream but no yeah just continue to build my music portfolio I think it's just

you know I got to set the bar high you know I feel like I won a national championship and then I got a feature with you know Wheezy so that was like my national championship in music so now I just got to keep

building on that but I definitely want to win another national championship there's no feeling like that like I did it my freshman year right so I didn't lead my team to a national championship although I did start all the games I was freshman of the year but I didn't lead it like you know I said I want to I want to actually lead my team and show that I can be that kind of player. Right. Other than yourself, what's on your playlist? Ooh, Adele. Real bad.

I love Adele. I don't know why. She's unbelievable in concert. You went to a concert? I did. I've seen her several times. You didn't have to do that. There's so many people.

So now it's time for What's Ollie Popping Off?

Ocho, you let me know if there's something or nothing. In a move that has Warrior fans panicking, Steph Curry removed the Warriors from his bio on his Instagram account. His bio, which used to have the line, Guard for the Warriors, has now changed to Olympic gold medalist. Fans immediately started naming the Lakers as potential suitors. Nah. Something or nothing.

I don't think it's anything. I think, obviously, he just won the Olympics. He won a gold medal. So why not change your band to that? I mean, NBA season isn't here right now. You know someone like Steph is really not going anywhere. He's not leaving the Warriors. Right.

So I know LeBron has been playing around on Instagram. Yeah. Tagging him, tagging Curry with the Lakers jersey on. Right. You know, isn't that illegal? No? Or players can play around like that? No, you can't tamper.

Okay. Well, I don't know if that was real on Twitter or not. It was real. Oh, it was real? Yeah. Yeah. But he's going to say he's just playing. He's just playing?

Yeah. But, yeah, Curry. Until he signed with the Lakers, then I wasn't playing. Yeah, Curry ain real? Yeah. But he's going to say he's just playing. He's just playing? Yeah. But, yeah, Curry. Until he signed with the Lakers, then I wasn't playing. Yeah, Curry ain't going nowhere. That's nothing. That's nothing. Just. Yeah, I think LeBron.

I think LeBron changed here. I think he had, I think it was all of them sitting around. Right. I think one, he had a, he changed a couple of times. I think he had him, Steph, and KD. I think he had the entire team sitting out there. Right. So, I'm with you on this one.

I don't think it's a whole lot of nothing. I just don't even see. It doesn't even seem right. I mean, that would be like magic playing for someone else or bird playing for someone else. Because think about how weird it was when you saw Jordan playing for the Wizards. Yeah, but it does happen in sports if you think about it. Everyone at some point leaves. Hell, how weird was it to see Tom Brady with the Bucs?

Yeah. Or how weird was it to see Peyton Man the Bucs? Or how weird was it to see Peyton Manning not in the coach uniform and down in Denver? Well, you see that more in football. You see some of the all-time greats. You saw Emmitt Smith play with the Cardinals. You saw Bruce Smith play with the you saw Deion. So you've seen

Jerry Risely. So we've seen some of the great Johnny Unitas, Joe Namath. We've seen some of the great. Normally the basketball players. Like, now yeah, Ocho in New England, yeah, that was shit. That was shitty as fuck, bro. Yeah, bro.
