Starting point is 00:00:00 All right, boys. Welcome back to another full send podcast. We got MPJ Michael Porter Jr. on the pod today. Guys, in absolute beauty. You guys, if you don't know about prize picks by now, I don't know where the hell you've been. You've probably been... Some have been Laden in the cave. Prize picks is by far the best app to fire on sports. There's no questions. I have tried them all. You guys know me. I've been firing on sports for a long time. What I like about prize picks is it's fun. It's easy to use. And it's a little spin on... Instead of choosing teams, you're choosing individual players. So, if you know what players are going to perform on what nights, this is the app for you. Each player is a set projection, and you either go more or less than that set projection. You put a minimum of two together. You can go three, you can go four. It's going to boost your payout depending on how many you do. And bang, that's how it works.
Starting point is 00:00:49 It's really, really fun, but you've got to be smart with sports, and you got to know what players are going to perform on what nights. We also got a code for you boys. Code Nelk is going to get you a 100% deposit bonus for first-time users. So if you've never tried the app, download it and use code nilk. And then if you put in $100, you're going to get that $100 matched with code. So take advantage of that code. That's for you, boys.
Starting point is 00:01:10 NBA playoffs is on. We're watching sports every night. And we got NHL, Go, Leavesco, 34 is the f***. Stay tuned to our IG stories, too. Make sure you ride with us because we're posting picks. Gambles helps me with my picks a lot. We're the prize picks champs. We beat everyone else that's sponsored by prize picks.
Starting point is 00:01:26 So if you're riding with someone, ride with us. Prize picks, download it, use code Nelk. I want that trophy prize picks, dude. Let's get him in the pot. M.B.J. How the fucking big been on the site? Excuse me. Did you guys do Coach Farm? Thursday. Thursday. So you're out here until Thursday?
Starting point is 00:01:44 Yeah. How do you guys know each other? We literally met at a restaurant the other day of the day because he had all these baddies sitting with him. Yeah. Oh, dude. Did he pay this day? I'll tell you what happened, bro. surprised how we hit it off i was after the sketch pod me and sketch went to the nice guy uh we had five
Starting point is 00:02:06 like our most five line we ever had and sketch saw him walk in here and i was like oh shit and you can't you walked over the table you remember what you said the man what i said like these chicks with you two they were like and then and uh tribs's house was there and i was like yo we're fucked uh look he you up, we'll let you get to the table. Yeah, he was protective over that one. I boxed you out. But I didn't even know who sketch was. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:37 Because I'm not big into the streaming world or anything, but, um, bro, on my TikTok, like, I just downloaded a Twitter play a week ago, he's all that comes up on my TikTok. Yeah, he's everywhere. Yeah. So, that was cool. But, um, no, we ended up going out. We were with us all night. Yeah, we had a good night.
Starting point is 00:02:52 A good night. A good night. I got stuck with the bill. I don't know how that's possible. At the class Forum I remember signing the bills I mean she just won't the fucker make a year
Starting point is 00:03:02 Yeah I would definitely split it with you Yeah If I would not I'm sorry, bro Who laid better at grammar on Drives as us Dude I was playing defensive I couldn't get with him with your team I couldn't talk to her, bro
Starting point is 00:03:16 Yeah, that's crazy I was a fun time How's the series, bro? Yeah, I mean Yesterday's games I was crazy. I didn't, I was looking for you. Where were you sitting at? On the floor with the away bench. Okay, yeah. I mean, it's going good. The Lakers are our great team. They were up 20 yesterday. We came back second half. And then Jamal out of
Starting point is 00:03:43 60 game whenever. That was a big win because going to L.A. tomorrow, up to 2-0 is a lot different than tied up on one. So yeah. You had a big community, too. I was going to say, I've never seen you play live but you have what top three jumper are you thinking of NBA yeah i would say in my opinion um me step i still think plays up there i knew he had a tough a tough little into the season but his jumpers picture perfect i think deep look amazing shooter um who else obviously got to like katie katie's in it a shot maker yeah and really i think jamaal you know the way he hit shots, he was impressed too. I feel like he was playing kind of slow
Starting point is 00:04:27 and it was kind of on and you to step up. Yesterday, Jamal, he, that's one thing that I respect in the players. Like, Jamal was missing shots all the game. And then in the fourth quarter, you know, five, six minutes left he took over and, you know, hit the game winner.
Starting point is 00:04:44 So you can, like, have a bad game all game and still kind of have the mental strength and confidence to keep shooting. That's like a sign of a great player. Yeah. How do you see your best? this year's playing out because you guys came back from 20 right yeah we came back from 20 um that's definitely a heartbreaking loss for the lakers um but going to l-a tomorrow i mean hopefully we can sweep them again but like they're a really good team um yeah it's it's it's it's it's gonna be
Starting point is 00:05:13 tough to sweep those guys you know lebron one of the best players ever they got a lot of pride over there but we'll see how it goes what's your thoughts on what lebron said about the replay center did you see that? Yeah, I did see it. I'm not really on Instagram, but I think I saw it on my ESPN app. Yeah, and he said that it was a foul. I don't know, because he's a little bit from their perspective. I definitely hit DeLo, like, a little bit, but the rest of it was like marginal contact. But yeah, it is frustrating when, when, you know, because you just not be able to challenge calls in the NBA. It was just like a lot of time, and the refs had to either get the call right or not, but now that they have a replay center,
Starting point is 00:05:52 when a ref does miss a call after, like, watching it from every angle, that's frustrating. It may have been a foul, but it was barely in contact. I don't know. All the old players always say, like, none of the players now, none of the new guys, like, fear playing LeBron. Does it hate you different when you're actually, like, knowing you're going to play him at this point in his age?
Starting point is 00:06:14 I don't think the word is fear. Like, I don't fear playing. anyone but I think people still have like a healthy respect for that dude you know because he is like the epitome of like greatness in the game of basketball but I think like when you talk about LeBron maybe 10 years ago who just the whole game not even 10 years ago five or six years ago just the whole game just etch you and didn't have to play in spurs you know right now I think he's kind of playing in spurs he's trying to take over the game late fourth quarter you know but like five six years ago he could do that all the game jump from the free throw line that probably was a little
Starting point is 00:06:53 different you know i didn't really see him during that time i mean he just match up so well against him joker it seemed like he was a little frustrated last night ad putting up when he had thirty four me a d was hooping um early on in in joker's career i used to think ad was like the perfect matcher form a d always gave him a tough like a tough night defensively and offensively but uh jokers continue to get better and better probably going to be the MVP again this year and you know no one really I feel like challenges him anymore at the center position you know Joel does a little bit AD is obviously very talented but he did get cooking last night at 32 in the first three quarters and then we switched we put Aaron onto AD and we put Joker onto Ruby and that kind of
Starting point is 00:07:46 slowed AD down a little bit. do you think about him not being a finalist for like defense to play over here uh who's the finalist is it rudy gobert what he's a he's a presence for sure but i can't believe you guys come back that i'm 20 bro yeah no he was pissed after that shot in the post game in review too who did he he was he was sick yeah all the whole team all the whole team was a damn for night he just knew on your guys bench i don't know i know he contested the shot and fell back on the bench And we're all, yeah, I know he was, I know he was, man. Are you guys as Lakers fans, or what do you guys?
Starting point is 00:08:23 I'm a rapist. I'm from Toronto. Oh, really? They're weak right now. I don't know. They stick, bro. Man. I mean, we had our time.
Starting point is 00:08:29 That's it. It's probably gone. Yeah, when Kauai went and got to all the championship. A lot of shit going on in the six right now. What else? The Rick's got rap with everybody. Oh, yeah. You been following that?
Starting point is 00:08:41 It's crazy, bro. I just, like, listen to the, to the disc tracks. I know, I listen to Drake's, and I listen to Rick What do you think of push-ups? I think it's fire. It's fucking hard. It's so hard, though. It's gonna be hard to beat Drake and like a rap beat.
Starting point is 00:08:56 I watched this video on YouTube, too, where this guy, like, breaks down every line. It's fucking, that guy's so, like, deep. Yeah. Yeah, he's, like, he's like, he's really, like, a lyrical, like, putting stuff together crazy. I saw him, Rick Ross's diss track it back to him. Did he Kendrick come out with one yet or no?
Starting point is 00:09:14 Kendrick's been quiet, bro. What's good with Jake Cole? is down. You know how everyone wants to, like, insert himself in the beef? That's not involved. That's because Jay Cole, I think he kind of, he's kind of above this tracks to me. Like, he's not petty like that. Even his brand and that's not his, like who Jake Cole is, I don't think.
Starting point is 00:09:32 Drake is a little petty. Yeah. Drake wants that. Yeah. Yeah, thanks for supporting him. What? The 16-easy, bro. You're second behind him.
Starting point is 00:09:41 I mean, I hope Andrew comes to some shit, but he's been quiet. Like, I didn't even know you guys were basketball fans, but. Overseas, those players, they learn a different style of basketball. So in the NBA, it's very ISO-heavy, you know, players grow up, and you know, the day in the day and age we live in a social media era. Like, kids are growing up with these mixtapes, and, you know, there's all these cameras in the gym, and they're trying to, like, show off their athleticism and all these things. Over there, it's a very, like, team-oriented game and, like, very, like, fundamental. So these guys are coming from overseas, they just have a different style of playing. like Joker, Luca, you know, like Yannis, some of these overseas players, like, just develop
Starting point is 00:10:25 way different than we do over here. I think a lot of it has to do with kind of what the young generation values, like, good basketball players and our younger generation they value the social media. They're trying to just bang on TikTok and shit. Yeah, exactly. So I just think we just grow up different over here. That's interesting. I never went to bed at the after the fucking.
Starting point is 00:10:44 But then Joker would be outside, though. Really? Yeah. like he uh he likes to get loose a little bit sometime it depends on the day like if you were to catch him in Miami he's not you might you might see joker out what about his like uh leadership is he like off the board is he kind of taken that roller is jamal joker is he's a he's a you know he's kind of a leader by example he doesn't do so much talking he will once in a while but uh he's more just man he's like when you look at joker a lot of people think oh he doesn't really care about
Starting point is 00:11:17 That guy's getting by his horses and things like that. That dude is following his routine with tea. Like, anyone who achieves greatness in any area, like, this is a reason for it. And Joker, he, every day is following his routine, getting his treatment in, after he's going upstairs and lifting. So he probably is one of the most disciplined people that I know. So I would say he's more of a lead-by-example type of guy.
Starting point is 00:11:43 Yeah. Oh, wait, what's your contract again, Remundice? contract, like money was? Yeah. I signed a max contract. So you're making 30 a year. A few years ago, signed a max contract a year about 30 or a year. What's that feel like?
Starting point is 00:11:58 You got my money, man. I like that. How does this podcast do? Because we want to count a podcast. I don't know. Is this like you guys' main source of income? There's a few. There's a few.
Starting point is 00:12:11 Really? What's the other ones? I need to put out like just about entry level. Just trying to re-negotiate. I'm on a minute. Yeah, you know when you get that rookie on their three-year for cheap? Yeah. They perform them like that fucking Max.
Starting point is 00:12:22 That's where I'm at right now. That's what you're all on? Yeah, yeah. You love you to go to the Max tonight. Yes. Yeah, make your money, bro. It's obviously a cool thing that's somebody. But I always tell people like that, like I'm no happier.
Starting point is 00:12:36 Like, I'm no happier because I have a lot of money than I was when I was broke. I mean, there's things you can do experiences, but you still get used to those new experiences. and it takes more to like excite you or whatever the best thing about having money to being able to like take care of the people around you I would say but yeah man I uh I forget how I came across to your guys podcast but I was wondering how do you guys get these people that you get out of your but who's the ones of the connections because I think I watched the Donald Trump one that was you guys right yeah the mix it's kind of like a team effort really yeah but like what's the process of reaching out to these people honestly it could happen
Starting point is 00:13:13 just like how you guys went on yeah done that Stuff like that. Reporters with Dane Way because we do a lot of shit with the U.S.D. Okay. So he was the one that got us Trump.
Starting point is 00:13:22 Really? Yeah. That was a big interview, huh? Yeah, that was crazy. Because they pretty much like shut Trump up, right? Well, they deleted the part we did with them. Oh, did that?
Starting point is 00:13:31 Yeah. Like, and you don't know who deleted it? YouTube. Just because why? Just because why do you think they tried to like completely shut Trump up like all together, deleted his Twitter, everything?
Starting point is 00:13:43 Like, what happened to freedom of speech? I don't know. It's far. And he, it's far because in the interview, he's like, yo, they're going to delete this. They're not going to let this stay up. And I was like, no way. I didn't believe them.
Starting point is 00:13:52 But then we put it off about like 12 million 24 hours and they deleted it. Oh, it had 12 million of you in 24 hours. Yeah, it went like nuts. It was that your biggest one or was the Eamon? Elon is the biggest. But Trump could have been if it stayed up. You guys, can you put it up anywhere where it would stay up? Like, isn't there other places?
Starting point is 00:14:09 I think we put it on like Twitter and like rumble and shit like that. You two is the best option. It was dope. Honestly, because then he, like, it made a lot of noise. It made him remember us. Yeah. And then he went on Fox News and, like, showed us out. And, like, he showed us out every time we're there out of rallies and shit.
Starting point is 00:14:26 That sucks, though, that they deleted it. It is. Why? I don't understand that. Yeah. You think you'll win this year? I don't know. I don't follow politics, honestly.
Starting point is 00:14:35 I mean, who, that guy is going to be him and Biden? Those are going to be our answer? You're already paid, right? Who is fuck? No, that's one. That's one of the thing about me. people already knock on my own podcast. I don't really have a crazy filter.
Starting point is 00:14:49 If y'all really want to talk about stuff, I would talk about it and share my opinions. But in terms of the politics, I think it's two sides of the same coin, bro. Yeah, I'm curious on that. What made you want to do a podcast? Like, you know, we live in this cancel culture these days. And, like, for us athletes or anyone who has, like,
Starting point is 00:15:10 any type of following, you might put out an Instagram picture or, like, even like a Twitter, whatever it is, and they'll take, like, if it doesn't agree with, like, the social norm or like the social, like the, like the, what they're trying to push or whatever, they'll, like, cancel you or whatever. Or let's take a clip from an interview or, like, a caption you put or a Twitter post, and they'll just crucify you if it's not what follows, like, the social norm. So it happened to me a couple times in different situations, and I was like,
Starting point is 00:15:44 my own podcast. I can talk about what I want to and I can like open, I think it opened conversations, even if it's about delicate subjects or you know, like I think that's important. That's why I appreciate you guys because you guys get out here and
Starting point is 00:16:00 ask questions that some people might think like, oh, they shouldn't ask that or the person on the podcast, they may get canceled or if they answer that in an honest way. But why can't people just talk openly about stuff? You know what I mean? So that's kind of why I start the podcast? I'll have to get you guys on it, though.
Starting point is 00:16:15 What's the call? Curious Mike. Curious Mike. Let's put it in the description. That was an example of, like, an NBA player probably shouldn't have a foreign star on their podcast, you know, but. That's unique, though. For me, like, I didn't want to be an athlete podcast, so I'm just getting normal other
Starting point is 00:16:34 athletes. I don't know we talk about basketball all today. I wanted to get, like, I wanted to try to touch different areas of life. I still, like, have a lot of ideas of different things I want to do on the podcast, but just touch in different areas, having open conversations about whatever it may be and let people talk about it how they will. Like I said, I've never been one to really worry about being canceled by whoever. Did you learn anything you'd want to share with us from Lana?
Starting point is 00:17:01 What did I learn from Lana, man? Well, she's actually a very sweet girl. I would say, like, I think some of these girls, they do the pornography thing but then they like regret it they turn into feminist pretty much they turn into ultimate feminists but like when I was watching the back like as much as I
Starting point is 00:17:26 watching the back like the podcast like I was watching not her video I love watching the podcast but some girls do kind of get coerced into this or whatever but the only fans thing is weird to me because I understand why girls do it because they make bang bro
Starting point is 00:17:41 like only fans yes they make bread they make more money than they would ever make doing a regular job and all they got to do is have their management post pictures that they probably would post on instagram and they're not even the ones typing back to that they're not even the ones talking to these dudes on only fans and they're making hundreds of thousands of dollars a month that's the crazy is talking about society though it is not girls because if you're a fucking sucker you pay for that shit oh but what i'm saying is the girls that are out there working hard and like we need to do those jobs then you have other chicks taking pictures making real bread. Yeah. So now like more more people are going, why would you want to have a real job?
Starting point is 00:18:18 Do you golf or no? But you know what I noticed? Carp girls used to be so hot on the golf course. Like every time you go to a golf course, it was like the ball and job for girls to be a cart girl. Yeah. And now I notice they're all of us because they all just be only fans I think now. The other thing is I don't think that always like a lot of these only girls not even like but not even really like that in real life they're not gonna be not super sexual but not like I don't know sluts yeah I know they might the only fans but they might not even be it you know what's funny about that is like I don't know some I'm trying to think every guy has is if you see like a porn star in person you know map automatically you said you
Starting point is 00:18:58 could hit it like everyone talking about man did you did you did you hit Lana after the interview da da da da I'm like I don't even think a lot that really gets around like that yeah you know what I mean yeah yeah would you ever take a lot of Only fans, real seriously? Man, I've gotten this question because I have, like, not talk seriously to some only fans, but I know some, obviously. I don't know. That would be tough for me, bro.
Starting point is 00:19:19 Any girl that's making money, like, selling any pictures of herself, not for, I don't think that'd be for me long time. They can't be their feet picks. I don't think I could do it. For a marriage, like, especially how I don't do it for marriage, bro, because everyone's seen, like, my girl, like. I don't think I do, but I also want to be judgmental because I know I've, you know, done some things in my past, but I don't really, but at the end of the day, like, a girl,
Starting point is 00:19:47 like, if you would take care of her, she probably would put it on fans and... But what about the past, or like... The past, to me matters, bro. Like, I talk to people about this, to me, there's some things that girls do this, kind of unredeemable, bro. Like, I think I was... I don't know to say unredeemable, but... In my opinion, like, I wouldn't wipe a girl if she has too crazy over the past.
Starting point is 00:20:12 Like, for example, I think I saw a podcast with like Andrew Tate and Brinney Rainier. Oh, yeah. And she was like, you know, she actually has a past. She's written a book about all the stuff she's down or whatever. And it's like she was asking why it was pretty much the conversation on that. Like, does the past matter? And for me, it's like, okay, but you're 30 something now. Now you want to relax.
Starting point is 00:20:36 Now you want to chill out from all that stuff But you should have chill out when you were like 22, 23 You would have been a wife by now But now dudes have seen Everything that you've done It's been public So it's going to be hard to forget that But some of those don't care
Starting point is 00:20:49 Like there's someone out there for everyone, man And that's your cup of tea That's your cup of tea Like I know you don't care You don't care about because that's fast I mean, no It depends Marriage is different
Starting point is 00:21:02 But a one night thing Fuck it Yeah that's what I'm saying When I come to the marriage, it's a little bit different. Are you going to tell them what chicks are like there for the wrong reason and shit? I thought I was, but then like, I think these girls are getting slicker and slicker because they have, like, some of these girls are really talented at tricking people. And they'll put off this image like they're like this wholesome, good girl, but then you'll hear some wild stuff about them. And I see it from the other side too, like I'm around.
Starting point is 00:21:36 people and things like that, like, some of these girls that have boyfriends and have husbands or whatever, but they're still partying or not even, like, partying, but they might be in your DMs or whatever, whatever it is, like, but they come off like a good girl, so I see it from the other side, too, and I don't really trust these, I don't really trust these, these girls like that. It's going to take a lot. It's hard. It can also be so nice a person, and then you go to that Instagram, and it's a whole different character. Yeah, Instagram is, it's a whole different character. Yeah, Instagram is ruined too, bro. Why aren't you on and I do? I go on and off. Like, I'll get on. But, like, for me,
Starting point is 00:22:12 social media doesn't make on money. Like, yeah, I can make more money if I was super consistent. Yeah. But I make enough money playing basketball. And for me, like, social media has a lot of cons. So I think the cons for me, I will weigh the pros, but for most people is probably the other way around.
Starting point is 00:22:27 Where are you on any? Huh? What are the cons for you? That, um, I mean, I have thick skin and things like that, but when you're an athlete, bro, when you play 82 games, games every single night you're disappointing someone because someone's betting on your under someone's betting on you're over so every single day you're in comments you're getting DMs that's fuck yeah that's one part of it but that's not the part that really bothers me it's um
Starting point is 00:22:49 I just think like overstimulation of you're like I don't even get it on TikTok I just think I don't know there's a part of it of just being on social media things it's a helping me thing like being on your screen being on your phone all the time i try to take a step back and be more present that's just me yeah yeah no it's bad it's fucking bad what are some other things that you do off the court just in free time right i'm just chill i don't do too much i uh you know i have seven brothers and sisters so i'm always on the phone kicking it with them um i'm a home body for sure uh i'll go to like dinner instead of the couple friends but i don't do too much i watch shows I read a little bit.
Starting point is 00:23:35 I watch you walk in there right now. I'm in the last season. It's like 26. There's literally like 12 seasons. And it's taking me years. It gets stagnant. That show gets stagnant. And if you push through it, it gets better again.
Starting point is 00:23:49 I used to watch it, and then it's just like, fuck. Yeah, it gets kind of boring a little bit. What do you guys doing your free time? We're always on the road. We're always on the move, bro. Really? Yeah. Just doing this.
Starting point is 00:24:00 We got a bunch of different channels. Like, we got the NELCH channel that's more like a lifestyle and pranks so we were just shooting that for six days in a row we were in Miami and then we just had to fly here okay now we got to the pods so we're sacked and three pods this week what was cancun I saw it because I just followed we did the bachelor video with stiny oh really it's like that's one with all the girls yeah I found we shot we didn't find these girls what do you mean we know the same girls oh we had 25 chicks they flew into Miami
Starting point is 00:24:32 So when we rent the mansion and we did like six days. We took them all to Nashville and we took them to Cancun. So does anything ever go down with these girls that they did this props? It's dependent on the situation, but like I have to, the more and more I think about it. He did find him love, right? Yeah, well, watch to see, but yeah. Like, I'm not going to say the name of Burnett that we both know. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:55 That you've slid on, maybe. Like, if you're not, if you're not better enough for her, like that scares the shit out of me because I'm also in me. You know? Who's not a good enough for? Huh? You don't think I'm a good enough for? To succeed in the future of work, forward thinkers use AI to deliver measurable results.
Starting point is 00:25:13 Workday is the AI platform for HR and finance that frees you from the mundane so you can focus on more meaningful work. Workday, moving business forever forward. Oh, that night, like she had told me, like, oh, he had a DM me, and that's when I had to play some deep. Oh, but we chatted on DM. We didn't talk.
Starting point is 00:25:31 What I mean, for you is just, the easiest thing in the world. Nah, nah, no, no. I mean, there's some girls that are... Girls don't really want to meet a DM. They don't want to meet a message. You know, they don't want to... They get a million DMs, you know?
Starting point is 00:25:45 Yeah, I just fire them. You do? Yeah, my street. You say, like, you say something, like, funny, or what's your, like, those two? Fuck, I'm going to die after this spot, but I usually just, like, what's good? Or you know?
Starting point is 00:25:57 Sometimes if I really want to put it in effort. I feel like you would come off like that, like, you would come off like a business thing. Corey, but then use that to, like, get at them. What's your gut to? I'd never DM chicks out, I'm not even lying. Yeah, but you might find that girls
Starting point is 00:26:11 who you think is, like, gorgeous, and you probably wouldn't meet her in real life. It's like to be hard to run out. I think you've got to wait. Really? My thing is, if you don't like to go out, and you also don't like to DM girls,
Starting point is 00:26:24 and how do you even meet girls? Yeah. You got to do one. I'm hanging out with y'all this summer, though. Yeah. But you got mostly in Miami or L.A. Most of Miami, but a little bit of a little bit of, where do you spend in the summers? But I call them Missouri, middle of nowhere, with my family, and then LA, I guess with my time.
Starting point is 00:26:42 Yeah, we'll pop out in LA. Let's talk about this guy. I feel like you're a slick with a few mouths. What do you want to? You're like, you have no deal with me. I mean, I'll find a lot of good interest. Really? I mean, not.
Starting point is 00:26:55 Sometimes, bro, honestly, right now, when I do talk to a girl, they don't really not anything to say. I'm being serious, bro. So then I just get, I'm just like, should I try to say? Like, there's nothing interesting conversations. Like, and then I think to myself, like, well, I really want to put an effort in bang this girl and then have those shitty hours and then it's just the same overall. Like, yeah, but it's been years now since. You think you're asking your questions? I mean, it's every question to stay.
Starting point is 00:27:26 It's like, oh, are you from this is that. So I try to switch it up. But then when I do switch it up, it's like they don't got nothing to say. like not really you know what I mean it's not yeah I don't know I'm a deep daughter person so I like asking like really just like deep questions and shit but like not in a bad way like off the jump but like I like to get into interesting things like you know what I mean rather than just stale questions so not be surface level yeah but I mean if I do find a girl attractive yeah I'll put in work a little bit she got to be born
Starting point is 00:27:57 man you got to put it in work and then pull back right but you got to pull back more than you're putting in work. So it's like, it's such a, I don't know, it's interesting. Pull and take. Yeah, it's going to take. And then what happens, it happens. Like, I'm not a guy that's going to be like, like, like, we don't like all, like, like, trying to get, like, if you know, but if I really like you, then I will, you know what I mean, but. It's a tricky dilemma these days. It is. It really is. It is. Because you can't trust them, right? Yeah, but I saw a clip the other day that I thought about it. I thought about it. Yeah, that's true.
Starting point is 00:28:33 You might find a good girl, but you never know because she hangs out with a bunch of a host. It's not all in the same group, so you can't differentiate between the two because it's just hard on. They all hang around. Yeah, it's simple. So on the women's topic,
Starting point is 00:28:47 what do you think about the women's basketball Killing Clark? I saw a Nike or 20 amps. Dude, she's cold, though, bro. I never watched, like, her play until the tournament. Yeah. And I was actually, like, in shock that she was. Yeah, me too.
Starting point is 00:29:06 Like, the way she moves and in the range she has, like, she's like the female, Steph Curry. Let me not say female, because I said female on a podcast before when all these girls killed me, these feminists. I guess it's women. She's one of the best women I've ever seen. They get mad at it when you say female. They say, I don't know. The correct term in this day is a woman. Huh.
Starting point is 00:29:28 I couldn't believe it, but, yeah. Women are starting to hate men. It's probably because male is in female. You know what I mean? I thought female and woman was the same thing. I guess a man's and woman. I don't know, bro. The shit's over my head.
Starting point is 00:29:40 Can you believe that they got mad to me for saying? That's right. That's what I was. You think she'd be in a three-point contest? Nah. But it'd be good. It'd be close. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:49 What about Sabrina? That'd be close, too. I mean, she can shoot, bro. Did you watch the three-point? She didn't miss, like, her first 15 years. That's pretty crazy. I was going to be mad, too, if she beat Steph. I didn't want to do.
Starting point is 00:30:02 You literally shoot the most contested shots ever. What's the thing they call you never? Yeah, man. They sound swing the rock. Never swinging the rock. Mike will never swing the rock. I mean, there's really guys arms in your head and you're switching. You have a 6-10 though.
Starting point is 00:30:18 I know. So people think it might look like a bad shot, but I don't see that. When's the last time you've been blocked on the 3-point shot? I think Derek White blocked my shot when we played Boston in Boston. But it was like he blocked it from behind. like you like I was coming off the screened right here and he came from behind it but right in your face then yeah that's not you're confident in it so we would agree you just have the full green light you can shoot the rock whenever i just feel like i can make tough shots so it doesn't feel like bad
Starting point is 00:30:46 shot to me but i might look at it later on on camera and be like oh i see what they call me when i could never swing the rock who do you think are some of the better defenders you face or where you have to shut you down man i don't like one those like not sure short dudes but like the stockier guys that like six four six five and just get up on the like lewd dork he's a good defender um there's a lot of good defenders i think i never realized how the good defender rudy over was until i played them this year and like what makes the timbrel so good is they have good on ball defenders with jaden mcdaniels anthony edwards but then if you beat those guys you just have rudy right there like they're a tough
Starting point is 00:31:28 team to beat. Yeah. I think Phoenix and Timber was about to plan a little bit, so. It wasn't game one. Yeah. I think that would be a good scene. Anthony Edwards is a baller, huh? Yeah, he's, uh...
Starting point is 00:31:39 You know, like, too cold. He's really, he's really crazy, bro. He's a crazy athlete, right? Yeah. Like, he's so explosive and athletic and strong, but then he also, like, has footwork. Like, he's nice. Yeah, I think MJ is just complimented him or something. Yeah, he said that's ambitious.
Starting point is 00:31:57 Yeah. Everyone did it because I'm going to say on them. Yeah, absolutely. You watch in, like, other games, turn in the, like, when you're playing in the class, are you watching, like, other club games? Yeah. Yeah. I don't really want, like, in a regular season, if I'm not playing, I don't watch a ton of games, but in the playoffs, I'm locked in. I'm watching as many games as I can.
Starting point is 00:32:16 You don't do too much talking out there, either, I know it's pretty quiet. Yeah, I'd be telling. Just don't want to get involved in that? No, I could. I just don't. I'm not worried about, like, I've never been a super big child. never been a super big trash soccer. Yeah, I don't do too much.
Starting point is 00:32:32 There's no one that's ever a strategy. Honestly, bro, the Nuggets, the Lakers talk a lot, bro. The only guy that talks to the Nuggets is Aaron Gorman. On our team? Yeah. Sometimes. We have a pretty kind of like even-keeled team, but we don't do too much talking, I wouldn't say. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:51 But the Lakers are a lot. You heard in Tritman? I mean, I hate Sakes. I'm a die-hard of LeBron fan. but like, bro, he says something after every possession, to the ref or somebody. Yeah, you can have your opinion on that, you don't have to say anything,
Starting point is 00:33:03 but I was, like, surprised. I was like, bro, every possession, every take, he's got to say something. To the ref? Yeah. Yeah, there's a fuse that complained to the rest a lot in the league. All right, boys, so we're going to get up the talk real quick,
Starting point is 00:33:18 but I'm not to let you guys know about Manscape, all right? I don't advertise anything on the pod that I don't actually use when I fucking love Manscape, all right? Everything they got on the website is designed to just keep you fresh from head to toe. There's so much different shit. It's a one-stop shock. I don't go to a bunch of different websites. I fucking love the Razor so much.
Starting point is 00:33:38 It's fire. They used it on my sack, and I use it on my face. I don't know if you're supposed to do that, but I do it anyway. It literally looks like Elon Musk made this razor. It looks like the fucking test of the razor. This is fucking incredible. It's got all the different triggers too. You probably keep your butt pretty game, right?
Starting point is 00:33:54 You don't like it out of control, right? But if you did, like animals, it's got the lungs for, like, the fucking forest, or if you keep, you know, if you sit on top of it, it's about the different measurements. And then they got so many different shit, like they have ball of deodorant, so, you know, me, I've been dialed, I don't really wheel or get girls, but if I want to go to the gym and I got a call to get a kill, you don't have time to shower, that's when you grab the ball deodorant. They're on a sack.
Starting point is 00:34:18 You know, it's not as good as a shower, but it's great for emergencies. And then they got the crop suit or two. Boys, you can't be shaving in the top of the bush and then leaving the sack fucking hairy, dude, that's just us. So to shave the balls and then after that, use the props suzer. Toss it on the little boys down there. They're gonna fucking love you for it. You could probably toss it on your face, dude. Honestly, that's just fire.
Starting point is 00:34:38 I do it. Just fucking go like this. Everywhere. Fucking lit. But you gotta code for you, boys. Code nalk on manseats.com is going to get you guys 20% off the entire website and free shipping. Boy, summer's coming up. Stay fresh, stay in shape, maniscape.com, code no.
Starting point is 00:34:56 20% off the entire site and free shipping. I probably love that it's free shipping, too. Thank you, Maniscape. I fucking love Maniscape. I fucking love Maniscape, I'm back in the time. How do you think Bernie Jr. will do the NBA? I didn't get to watch him in college, but he has the genetics to obviously develop into a good player.
Starting point is 00:35:13 I think he's still probably a little raw, and then people forget he had that whole thing. So he was coming back from that. But I think in the NBA, like, it's not always the most talented guys that make it. It's the guys who can, like, find a role. So, like, you know, there's a ton of talented players that never make the NBA because they're ball-dominant players. They need ball in their hands to really, like, do well.
Starting point is 00:35:39 But if you can, like, find a role in the team, play defense, not down in corner threes and things like that, you can find a role so I can kind of see Brownie doing that early on. And he can, like, develop from there. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's like with the Bron. He got so many people paid
Starting point is 00:35:53 because they could be one thing. Yeah. I mean, look at PJ Tucker. Yeah. He's had an amazing career. And this dude, this dude, like, he's a great defender and he shoots corner threes.
Starting point is 00:36:05 You know, he's made a lot of money. He's helped teams win championships because he's done those two things at a high level. Yeah. So. What do you think is different about me
Starting point is 00:36:14 coming off a championship from last year? Anything feel like superiorly different this year? I think, you know, we know we're a good team, and I think the difference is once you win, like, teams, they, like, they kind of, like, know you're good, like, you become the hunted instead of the hunter. Like, we were kind of like the under the radar and just play a good basketball. Now it's like every team is preparing for us. I think they're even, like, building their teams around, like, trying to beat us or be Boston, whoever, like, the top teams are. so it's a little bit different
Starting point is 00:36:50 yeah we should we should we should be going to this year it's the goal what do you think of joker's brother to punch and I
Starting point is 00:36:56 guy did you see that bro I just saw that this morning the guy ate it though we did and have you seen joker's brother
Starting point is 00:37:04 yes he's humonged yeah why didn't he they said like one of the fans was like talk
Starting point is 00:37:14 like a Lakers fan was like talking to him whatever chatting a little bit and then Juggers were like came over the bleachers and just like punched those dudes don't play they might have said them without shit talk about yeah yeah yeah people be saying like fuck up shit but usually you wouldn't see like people come at like that dude hit him hard right
Starting point is 00:37:34 yeah he did kind of eat it but they said he was like he was a little drunk so he might not have felt it probably made it easier yeah you think the fans get too out of line with the players that get too much freedom to start over they want yeah especially certain places bro like Like, if you go to Utah, I don't know, have you guys been to Utah before? Oh. All the Mormons. Yeah, yeah. But they're racist, dog.
Starting point is 00:37:55 Yeah? Like, you look at the standards, you don't see one black person. It's all white people, and they're definitely racist over there. There's a few, there's a few, uh, raise you going. There's just yelling shit? But there's a few fan bases that get out of pocket. Philly, New York. Brons talked about Boston, too.
Starting point is 00:38:12 Boston. Boston's really bad. Yeah, but, I mean, that's part of the game. But it's a good thing that, like, If a player gets disrespect to too much, you can get a fan kicked out. Sometimes players, sometimes players like take advantage of that, I think, and if they get more good mode with a fan of trying to get kicked out. I think in this series, the deciding factor, I'll tear it now.
Starting point is 00:38:32 I don't know if coaches just told you, but it's DeAngelo Russell. Would you agree with that? He's the next factor, but he played really good yesterday. But that's what I'm saying. If he plays good, you guys might lose the series. We're not going to lose the series. If he's on fire. If he plays good, they have a better chance to it at a way.
Starting point is 00:38:46 he's uh for them you know you know what you're going to go at a lebron you know most nights a d will uh he'll bring it um for them to win like ad needs to like match choker in production and then lebron's gonna do what lebron does you probably need like d low or austin reeves to like really really have a good game yeah and then even then even then like it's it's it's tough I mean, they got a really good team, bro. They got a really good team. I think Jared Vanderbilt's coming back next game. I think Christian Wood, he'll give them a little boost.
Starting point is 00:39:24 But, man, the Lakers, bro, they hate us. They needed that win last night. I'm not going to lie, but that's going to complete them, to be honest, because that was us going to us to L.A., like up 2-0 is so much different than their 1-1, and then be feeling confident. Like, that was a big win for us. That was my favorite win since being a Denver night. That I win yesterday.
Starting point is 00:39:44 I think you guys can, honestly, in my opinion, sweet when we can, based off that I win, like, that's the pleading, bro. Like, if we get in game three, like, if we go in there and get game three. Oh, it's just like, fuck. You're like, oh, we actually got it up so much better than I'm like, I just want to be a fly on the wall in their locker. And just see how wrong. So our equipment manager, you know, they go in there and like make sure they're, he said he went in there and they were so, like, just down. I mean, who wouldn't be?
Starting point is 00:40:12 You're up 20. playoff game and then you lose like that but like he said they were they were distraught so you everybody's equipment manager gets to go in there
Starting point is 00:40:22 and like our ball boys and stuff like that we'll go in and like take care of them and they're kind of like they don't let go and tell us what happened and they were down after that after that
Starting point is 00:40:32 I've ever seen the parody videos Supreme Adams or some does him like he's acts like LeBron after the loss oh yeah he goes crazy and he's like oh I have 40 and you can just hit one shot.
Starting point is 00:40:44 Yeah, that dude is funny. That's all you did to do. But I did notice that, Braun had that wide-opened three at the end of the game to win. Yeah, he missed it, but that stuff happens. He was killing before, he had those two days back-to-back than that animal and that dunk. Like, he was going crazy in the fourth quarter. He had a miss shot to happen.
Starting point is 00:41:05 There was just too much time. We got the ball, coach, didn't call time out, and then Jamal came down, and, you know, he got busy. Yeah, AD was. AD was sick after that. I wonder how long LeBron's going to be playing for them. This is...
Starting point is 00:41:17 I don't know what's wrong with that guy. I don't know how he's still like... He's like, warning, bro, and moving like that. Like, like, carrying an organization. Like, that dude is amazing. He really wants that fifth.
Starting point is 00:41:29 Yeah. He really wants it. He wants it. Yeah. At least one below every day, I think. Yeah, the Lakers are good. They probably need a little bit more. I wonder, like,
Starting point is 00:41:39 if they were to lose first round. I don't think Braun's ever lost the first round What I wonder what they would do I wonder who they would try to move Or who they would try to I saw Treyown That's like one of my best friends You know we grew up playing A you together
Starting point is 00:41:54 You and Trey Young? Yeah we won Like we're the number one team in the country He was me and him And we were crazy But yeah he I've heard his name Going over that would be
Starting point is 00:42:06 He's really good Yeah he's really good It's crazy now With these A you kids how fucking famous like Cooper flags everywhere you know him and Mikey Williams
Starting point is 00:42:17 like they're 15 years old and they're like actual celebrities making millions of dollars yeah Michael Williams he signed a MoMA he signed a Puma contract for some millions and he's what 17?
Starting point is 00:42:29 Yeah and the NIL stuff That should change the game because now you don't even have to be that's the thing with social media in the era that we're going to you don't even have to be the best player to make the money now Now, just because of your name and you grew a big Instagram, a college is willing to pay you a bunch of money in NIL, because it boosts their program, even if you're not like the best player.
Starting point is 00:42:53 Like, it's just weird now. It wasn't like that even when I was, you know, coming up. You still didn't get paid in college. You know, you only have a lot of followers on Instagram if you really were like the best players. Now it's like if you post some cool pictures and you, you know. What do you think about the dude on, well, sit him on Duke. He did a TikTok, like, a lot of TikToks. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:17 You know what I was talking about? Uh-uh. Did you see those? His TikTok is big? I mean, no, but he would post like three or four a dance. Like, dude, what are you doing? Like, you know, you know? You got a lot, like, person, I lose respect for a little bit for those guys.
Starting point is 00:43:28 It's supposed to be hooping. That's the thing. That's what I'm saying about social media earlier. Like, if TikTok is your job or you're, like, an influencer, and that's literally your job, like, okay, like, go crazy on TikTok or Instagram, and make as much money as you can. But if you're an athlete and you're doing all that extra stuff, it definitely comes off as corny.
Starting point is 00:43:45 Or like, bro, like, focus on hoop and come make your money playing basketball. Like, I don't listen to these tic-tops. You do your podcast, like, more for fun and it's just to have a platform to speak your opinion, but did, like, any of your teammates have an opinion on you doing that? Nah, I mean, Joker, I'm the only podcast he's ever done. You know, so that was cool. They all like it.
Starting point is 00:44:05 I'm getting some more of my teammates on. but they definitely like when they see people or they see like on Twitter and they're trying to like cancel me or post my pot post a clip and like my teammates are climbing in the locker room. What did you try to get canceled for?
Starting point is 00:44:20 Because I said I said Tranny. I'm not supposed to say transsexual or transgender I think. Same thing with the female thing. I thought Trani meant transgender and I thought female a man, a woman. I guess, brother,
Starting point is 00:44:34 you got to be like really careful with all this stuff. so but i kind of fucked up for that to be honest same train I think that was in the lot of episode we were talking about something and yes the word of training I guess that's a slur these days is that tough with like being the NBA
Starting point is 00:44:50 like today what kind of down like for saying something like that or like I mean bro like I said like I thought this was a freedom of speech country people are so sensitive these days like I'm not like trying to disrespect anyone or
Starting point is 00:45:03 I just and I was why I'm in podcast It's called Curie's Mike. Like, I don't know everything. Teach me. Teach me, like, I didn't know that that was wrong, you know? I'm making, like, a transgender person on there. I'd be like, can you please teach me out of the address you guys? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:18 And things like that. Like, I, like, you know, so. My teammates, if I do, if I do, if they see something, like, going viral on Twitter, they'll definitely, like, clown me on the locker room or, you know, make jokes. You should get Caitlin Jenron. We had her on once. Did you? She's a dope trainee.
Starting point is 00:45:35 She is. Your favorite transgender woman. Really? She's nasty. But like, the thing about that is like, what do you guys think about if you transition and you want to go play like a male sport?
Starting point is 00:45:53 No, that's bullshit. Well, if you want to play it, you'd be the other way. Manil will go to the females. Yeah, male transitions to a female but don't want to go play like women's volleyball. No. But then they're jumping to the sky and it's like a spiked. That's fucking bullshit.
Starting point is 00:46:05 That's the dumb and shit. Anyone that, like, I can't even believe that that. Yeah, and I don't care about it and cancel that. I do agree with that you're a fucking idiot. Yeah, and I'll tell you, and I'll tell you who is an idiot. Is the head coach of the woman in South Carolina team? She said that. It should be allowed.
Starting point is 00:46:20 No, she doesn't. There's no way. Because that means if I transition to a woman right now, then I can go playing in the WMBA in average 50. I'm almost positive. There's much of fact-checking on that, but she said that. I would hope a woman's college coach would not say that. Yes.
Starting point is 00:46:35 If that happens, the women are done. Like, yeah, I mean, I mean, there's no competition. Lack of respect for women is to allow, like, I mean, luckily, I don't think a ton of male athletes would want to transition to a woman
Starting point is 00:46:49 in play, but, like, there's definitely going to be some. Yeah, if you imagine a whole set of a position win if you do that. A full team of transgender women when they just go play, and they've just had a best team in history. They should get them all in the same spot. That's right. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:05 So, so South Carolina, they just won the championship. Yeah, yeah, her. It's the biggest year in women. She said that should be allowed. She said it should be allowed when the women had the biggest year they've ever had. And you're going to go and have that take out. They shouldn't compete with them in because of how good they were. Bro, the best woman to ever play could go into NBA right now and it would be over for it, bro.
Starting point is 00:47:28 Like the worst NBA player, like, it could be a college. It could be a college basketball player and they go to the WNB. And they average 40. Do you think Angel Reese can get one on you? Huh? Do you think Angel Reese can score on you? Caitlin maybe, bro. Kate was told that that's the one girl that I was like,
Starting point is 00:47:46 if she was in the NBA game, yeah, on defense, she would get cooked. But offensively, like, she'll knock down some corner three. They're like a swing, swing, three. Like, she actually would, she can shoot from not far, you know? But no, most women can't compete with men,
Starting point is 00:48:03 and I don't think men should be able to transition. play with women that whole conversation this year that year even the fact of like I guess have you guys
Starting point is 00:48:12 heard of the furries the furries thing yeah so the school I didn't even know this was the thing until I went to Seattle my senior
Starting point is 00:48:20 of high school and the high school I went to had the first transgender bathroom in high schools like in the country what did it say
Starting point is 00:48:27 in the sun it was just like the mixed sign thing of like a man and a woman or whatever but like like Seattle's kind of like more farther along with that type of stuff so I learned about furries and furies are basically these kids that go to school but they think they're like an animal
Starting point is 00:48:46 they think they're a raccoon or they think they're a cat and they'll like the schools will like provide them like litter boxes and things like that and like what the teachers have to you're lying no this is a real thing like litter boxes like litter boxes for this kid but like literally the teachers and stuff I guess is respectful to address them the way they want to be addressed. Like, if they think they're like a raccoon, you have to address them. Like, they're a raccoon.
Starting point is 00:49:11 Like, what's up, raccoon? I don't know. I don't know. You have to, like, literally give them a litter box, and you have to treat them like they're a furry. That's fucking disgusting, one. Where's the litter box go? Look into furries, bro.
Starting point is 00:49:22 That's like a real thing. I think it's weird. That whole conversation, like, I could get deep into that. My kid's not going to be a furry. I'll promise you for that. If you say your kid at a public school of these days, it could,
Starting point is 00:49:35 come back and be like, Dad, I think I'm a cat. My kids are getting homeschooled, bro. Yeah, yeah. That's what, I mean, they're teaching it in school, right? Yeah, like, I don't know who's pushing this agenda like this. I mean, I remember, like, learning about, like, the Seattle's super super like that, though. Seattle, yeah. And it's weird for me, like, because not everyone in the country is like that.
Starting point is 00:50:02 Like, I grew up in Missouri, and. none of this stuff was like this when i just said i was like oh like this is crazy yeah yeah that's why it's weird for me like i didn't grow up with any of this stuff going on yeah that i don't even know how we got here bro i don't even i don't know i'll go down on the craziest drive it holes of random and shit like that's hilarious yeah i got to look into that pretty shit i don't know if i believe that i'm looking into it bro it's a real thing what did you guys think of um i'm like interviewing you guys now at the same time what do you guys think of Garcia Haney fight.
Starting point is 00:50:36 Garcia is a legend, yeah. You know, we had... Did he come off as he was actually... I never thought he was like super crazy. When we met him, I'm not going to lie, it seemed like he was playing an act a little bit. Like, he seemed pretty fucking normal.
Starting point is 00:50:49 Well, we went to a... We had him on the pod, and then we went out to a hockey game after and, like, he cranked a few years. He was definitely drinking during camp. Yeah. I think that happens more than the people think. Yeah, I don't know about that.
Starting point is 00:51:02 People have a different way of preparing. Like, just in the NBA, you got to do I don't think a lot of fighters are drinking during camp. He was loose for that. He was confident going into that fight. He knew he was going to be hanging. That was incredible to watch, man. But what did you think of it?
Starting point is 00:51:15 Like, I kind of wanted to ride away. Conners was talking so much that I wanted him to win so he can keep talking crazy. He's talking about a lot of stuff. And I'm glad he wanted to, like, if people had lost, that would have been bad for the sport, first of all. Yeah. Because there would have been two losses in a row. But now that he won, he can still be talking.
Starting point is 00:51:34 doing the thing so I'm glad the Illuminati right yeah what do you think happens of Devin Haney
Starting point is 00:51:39 after that though oh he's cheese that's gonna be tough to come back from right yeah that's gonna be tough that's gonna be tough but I'm not
Starting point is 00:51:48 I'm not huge in the box I was talking on my friends who is and he said Devin Haney was never really liked that like he beat a couple people he's not like tank
Starting point is 00:51:57 but he's not like tank yeah one of those guys I hope that very much happens yeah yeah Yeah, but the tank is... I like how I see it and make weight, too.
Starting point is 00:52:07 He didn't care about the belt. He's like, fuck you, I have a three-found advantage now. He didn't care about the belt. Because in boxing belts don't mean shit. There's a video of Haney and them celebrating. Have you seen it on that? Oh, really? There's a cake, and like, there's a girl being like, yeah, and still. And he's just sitting there so awkwardly because he took the L.
Starting point is 00:52:24 Yeah. But, yeah. Was it 500K for each top? Yeah, but apparently there's supposed to put two million on himself and one 12 million, or won 10 million. You can do that in boxing? You can bat on yourself, yeah. See, you can't do that in the NBA.
Starting point is 00:52:40 No. Wait, you can literally do that in boxing? Yeah, maybe it was... So you can bet that you can put a bunch of money that you're going to lose, and then lose on first. You can't lose. You're going to bet to win. Oh, really? You can batting yourself to win.
Starting point is 00:52:51 It's also individual score. And that's fine. Yeah. If you could buy yourself to lose, then there would be some weird stuff going on. Do you watch UFC or any other? No, not. really not too much i don't watch not too much just the NBA games who do you think is the scariest team said you guys are now i would say you got to say Boston or or i'd say uh in the west
Starting point is 00:53:16 i'd say in Minnesota it's like they built their team to try to like compete against us almost how do you like how do you look at that team and i'm not taking anything away from them and then look at like the suns and the clippers and like they're not ahead of timber I don't know, I would think that they would be the best. With the amount of talent paper, right? I would think that like Phoenix and most teams that have KD, but all of them, right, would be the best on paper.
Starting point is 00:53:41 The NBA is different because it's like, it's not about having the most talent. Like, we've seen talented teams. You saw Katie, James Hardin, Kyrie over in Brooklyn. You saw, like, some of these guys that just get a bunch of talent. That doesn't really have a worse. You have to have, like, cohesive,
Starting point is 00:53:57 like, cohesive guys that work well together. Like, I think the Timberwolves, I mean, they do have three All-Stars. You have Ant, you have Katty, you have Rudy, who's in an all-star. There's like Jay McDaniels and, you know, and Nasree. Like, this is a really, really, really good team. Phoenix, they're obviously really good. They have the talent that did anyone, but you got a lot of guys who do, like, similar things.
Starting point is 00:54:18 Like, Bradley Bill, he was the leading score, but him in a book are both in the same position. And you don't really have a point guard. Right. So they, it's going to be a good series because they have, bro, Phoenix is so talented, bro. If they start hitting shots, like, they're tough to be. They don't have a facilitator. Nah, like they're at first of all. If you put in poker with them, no offense.
Starting point is 00:54:36 But, like. Joker, yeah, Joker, but they need a point guard, I think. Because right now, Devon Booker's like their point guard, but he, uh, that's wasting too much energy. He needs to be off the ball and just focus on scoring. Yeah. You remember that era of, like, big threes, and it's, like, everyone teamed up together. Yeah, even then, like, those big threes were different.
Starting point is 00:54:56 Like, Braun, D. Wade, and Chris Bosch, they complimented each other. Yeah. all did different things like lebron kind of wanted to pass more and he wanted to get dway going and you know the new christ watch or like uh same thing like kevin love nick kevin love another big three who was another big three like brown matt allen and pierce yeah damn they complimented each other or like who else kbby step yeah yeah katee step and clay and i'm like they all do different things then they have jramon who all like draymond gerald was getting his scores open looks the suns don't really have kind of like that right now.
Starting point is 00:55:32 Yeah. But there's still, there's still a problem. Yeah. What about the Clippers? I think Cleppers are tough, br. They're really deep. People were hating on James Pardon.
Starting point is 00:55:44 I think he's one of the best stories all time. I'm sorry about if the Clippers do they're going on, I don't see anybody being on in these seven inches. That's just my, I'm sorry, you probably heard this a lot, but dude, Pete, bruh. Like, seriously. No, no, the Clippers is cold, but it's cold.
Starting point is 00:56:00 It's cold. though i don't know i don't know what his injury is yeah he isn't very nice i mean defensively though too like that's seen now i'm like shit russ is a great you know i mean no they're cold i think i think we got a good chance to going back to back i feel like they're harder to beat this may sound stupid they'd be harder to beat than the ten bulls i think they'd be equally tough to beat yeah the two balls have the number one defense in the league and then and it's just a problem crazy problem Clippers have Kauai, they're tough, too.
Starting point is 00:56:35 This is one of the best playoffs in recent history. I'm about to go watch these games after this. He's playing. I think it's Minnesota Sons. And then later on, it's, um, Mavis Clippers, I think. What are you supposed to split on the team off the court? I said Aaron Gordon, uh, super sure to do y'all would love him. And then some of the young dudes like Peyton Watson, Julian Straller.
Starting point is 00:57:00 But I'm cool with all of them, man. Me and Joker, we got cool over the years, me and Jamal. I'm cool with, you know, KCP is one of the coolest dudes ever. But we've just got a really dope team, to be honest. And when guys come to our team from other teams, they always say, like, the locker room's way different in our locker room than other teams. We've got a cool team.
Starting point is 00:57:20 What do you think about that, just how everyone gets along all? Yeah, and just, like, personalities. That's the other thing about the NBA. You wouldn't even believe how much personalities, like, locker room affect winning and effect chemistry like if you got some dudes who don't really rock with each other bro that directly correlates to how the your team is for sure yeah I'm sorry I've been in Colorado on the minute bro you got the you got the altitude yeah I do but the altitude hit you like crazy
Starting point is 00:57:56 no bro you just been you just been wilder bro you need to get some sleep leave. You post all these girls on your Snapchat, right? Yeah, the last six days were pretty great.
Starting point is 00:58:07 Where's our girl at right now? Ours? Yeah. Egypt. What did she do on there? She probably messed with some on their trip,
Starting point is 00:58:15 you know, she's probably mess with some Prince or something, like an Egyptian prince. She's Dubai, Egypt all over the place. I saw her posting like,
Starting point is 00:58:23 at Chris Brown and Babes. Like, hashtag Chris Brown and babes. So. That's funny, bro. Yeah. That's sweet. That'd be. going on, too. Do you see that? Chris Brown and Cuevo?
Starting point is 00:58:32 Oh, yeah. That's, that's, that's, that's, Chris Brown talked crazy to quay. Why did they mad at each other? No, bro, this is the thing, like, I think all these rappers be hitting each other as girls, so then they get mad. Yeah, I have to be happy. But like, that would make, I see what they make. Do you think all this beef, like, like, even the Drake shit? They said Drake in future, like, that's what I'm about, right? Yeah, and Drake mentioned Don Moran. I know that's over a girl. I think it's literally all of your girls
Starting point is 00:59:03 and we were talking about this in the locker I think he tried to get his chick Who? I think he tried to get a week and a chick all the time ago This is the thing where we were talking about this in the locker room because like
Starting point is 00:59:13 there's a difference between getting at the same girl if your boy doesn't really mess with the girl she's just like another girl but if it's a girl that you know your guy really messed with at one point that's kind of crazy
Starting point is 00:59:30 Fuck, yeah. To me, but some of my teams are like, nah, bro, these girls are for the street, like, who cares? I mean, not. But everyone also much to say to that. But they really... You know when your boy asked you then,
Starting point is 00:59:39 I don't even really like her, but deep down, like the lecture the whole time. But you can know if your boy lived there or not. Yeah, you should know that. Yeah, there's got to be set of boundaries somewhere. Yeah. It's getting out of hand.
Starting point is 00:59:53 I literally think that's what all this means is about. Wait, so who, uh, Quabo days? I think Quava was with Chris Brown's ex, Grouchet, right? Oh, so that's why he's mad. Yeah. He talked crazy.
Starting point is 01:00:04 He said he smashed sweetie. While he was, while she was with it. Wow. But the thing is, like, like, you can't get on a discharging and say, I want you to die.
Starting point is 01:00:18 Like, Chris Brown said some, he said something like, I wish take off. Yeah, like, that's wild, bro. That's unnecessary, right. Like, I would listen to the It's a hard bar, though.
Starting point is 01:00:29 yeah crazy like but then he sounds like bro come on dog was Quaybo's track was it good was it good
Starting point is 01:00:36 I haven't listened to that I thought I thought it was kind of yeah I thought it was kind of weak Chris Brown went in and then yeah Chris Brown went in Drake went in
Starting point is 01:00:47 the Taylor made free stuff too right who Drake dropped the second one did he he put like the AI what was it was it dope
Starting point is 01:00:54 oh really bro that AI thing is crazy that they can make you can make a rap song AI yeah yeah man ask Elon like how we prepare for this he's scared of it he says really there's probably I think there's gonna be guys at the elites the very top are gonna know how to handle it and they're not gonna sure of it and then it's over they're gonna control it pretty sure yeah I'm building a crib in an unknown location I let's I know but I got a bunker we'll all add some sort of value to it Do you think you have to use it?
Starting point is 01:01:31 In my humble opinion, I think the world is wraps in the next 10 to 20 years. Yeah, I think I was going to say 10. Once AI gets too advanced and then you can't tell the difference between reality and simulation or like, you know, the video games, you can like go in 10, I think all that stuff is in the next 10, 20 years. Look after that. Look after that. Look at the phones like progressed, too, right? But can you even like picture, okay, this is like an iPhone 15. can you imagine like an iPhone 35 or like Apple Vision Pro v10 probably like a contact
Starting point is 01:02:04 you know those things kind of fell off though huh oh that's V1 that's like the first like imagine the first smartphone compared to like I don't even hear about it imagine the first phone is like phone now I'd bonger down to trip his ass two other the chicks and they can believe it but I shall love it Amanda that option is out there 100% you're gonna know down with where? Yeah. Not a bad life.
Starting point is 01:02:30 No, hell no. Yeah, it's not like out of the bunker going on. A Botclos can't cut in a head. I'm not to fake something, yeah. You stay focused when you go to L.A. When you're about to go to L.A. for these two games. Yeah, a lot of it. You get a time to delete that lot.
Starting point is 01:02:44 Definitely keep the ID up. We got the summer to go crazy. We'll be kicking it this summer or some, but, uh, yeah, in the playoffs, I'm locked. I'm not leaving a hotel. I mean, maybe we go get some food, but, no. Can't let these girls. It was draining, man. I suck the life out of you.
Starting point is 01:03:02 Man. I love it. Just kidding. I'm kidding. What do you think, what are you going to try to improve on? I mean, you're such an insane. So, do you say, like, your comparison to Katie? Bro, I had three surgeries, though, like.
Starting point is 01:03:17 Yeah. And we didn't think about that, but I know you played, you got a short season at Missouri because of that. Yeah. You know, growing up, I was the number one player in the world. I remember. I was just growing up, and you had all the hype, and it was crazy when you got hurt. Injuries is crazy, bro. But, I mean, now, like, falling into the Nuggets and being in the situation
Starting point is 01:03:36 and kind of adapting my game to play with these guys, it's an ideal situation. I'm going to keep trying to get better, but injuries are, you know, they're tough, especially the ones that I went through. So, you know, I'm blessed to be able to still be able to hoop at the highest level, and it's the best players in the world. And luckily, I'm on this good team, and hopefully in a month or two, we'll be talking about, you know, back-to-back champion. You know, that's the goal, so I can't complain at all, bro. They've got to give a Joker and beat here.
Starting point is 01:04:09 Can you go get it? Nah. The reason I don't think he'll get it is because he doesn't even really want it, though. Whenever the MVP conversation comes up, he just always like, yeah, I'm playing pretty good at basketball, but there's a couple of other guys that deserve it. He doesn't care all about this stuff, you know. You should watch a podcast with you and what I did with him. Yeah, he, he, he's like a smart dude. Like, his outlook on life, like, is different, though.
Starting point is 01:04:36 I'll say it seems like there's not much ego in the locker. No. Everyone's there for each other. Yeah, for sure. That's 709 leaders. Yeah, but that's partly because of, like, the type of guys, that's why they do, like, before you get drafted, they do interviews, like the interview.
Starting point is 01:04:52 you know the players and that's a big part of it you wouldn't think that you would walk into in a room with like all the presidents and the GMs of these teams and that would mean that much but they care a lot about like your personality because they want to like mix personalities yeah that's actually interesting I think I've ever heard any talk about that what what's that a process like yeah like when you're a young dude going to like rookie the rookie uh the combine and things like that like all the teams will be there and then the teams are looking at you you'll have like interviews with them and you'll go and like sit down and talk to the front office guys and like I didn't really realize how like how important I was these teams but then I heard like you know Tyree's however he got drafted pretty much it was a lot of it was because of his talent but like I heard like he had like one of the best interviews ever and so they really liked him as a person and like how he could fit their team and you know then he went to Sacramento and they loved him and you know he turned up to be an amazing player so um they cared a lot of about personalities because like you've got some talented players who just yeah just it doesn't work
Starting point is 01:05:58 you know they might have too much of ego they might not have to work ethic they might um think they're better than they are uh they might not be willing to accept a role for like the greater of the team because they've always been a man you got to think every NBA player at one point in their life was like the man and now you're in the league of all these alpha dudes who think they're the man but maybe like lowering your ego and playing a role will help you make millions of dollars some players can't do it yeah no i always you can just watch sometimes and tell me like if you're playing at this level and it's just competitive but there are guys out there that just don't give a fuck yeah even about basketball yeah and it's just so crazy to think like just being
Starting point is 01:06:44 that athletic and having that much talent you don't care what win they never figure that out yeah man I mean, some dudes, like, their passion for the game kind of diminishes. And the NBA's hard, bro, say, 82 games. Some of those want the long summer. Yeah. You know, like, if you didn't make the playoffs, you got to be done last week, and you get to have the whole summer to go, show them to do whatever you want. But for, you know, the good teams, you're playing another couple months.
Starting point is 01:07:09 The summer's short, bro. Like, our summer was short last year. Like, you know, it was right back into the season. Like, we're tired, you know what I mean? Yeah. Especially when you went into, too, there's probably a lot of. win. It's a lot of stuff going on, bro. I'm with Taiwan, surely after we won, bro, and like, love you get after winning a championship? Like, it's crazy. It was dope, bro. Like, they were
Starting point is 01:07:32 waiting for me in the airport. Like, I landed in the whole airport filled with people. I didn't even know how I had any fans over there. Was that all you guys or you just wanted? When I was just me, I was going out there for like a couple, like an appearance. Like, I had one dude set up like a little appearance for like some money. So I went out there. And then like a bunch of Taiwan people where in the airport were like waiting on me, it was crazy and they all watched the championship like, it's crazy. It really is. Like the NPA is like a worldwide sport. And when you win, it gets even crazy. The IG just go up, huh? Huh? The IG number goes up like crazy. Yeah. Yeah. I should like five. I've deleted my Instagram so many times. If I would have kept it up, I mean, that probably would have been good for my brand, but. No, stay out of the comments. There need to read anything of shit.
Starting point is 01:08:17 Yeah. I could see one getting to you. you and then you, like, pacing around your penthouse thinking about it. When people say they don't care about people's opinion, like, I'm sure when you guys release a podcast and people are just talking crazy about you guys, like, that's not cool to anyone. Like, people are like, like, if you have money or you have a, whatever, like, you're a robot, but you're still a human, bro. How weird was it not seeing the Warriors in the playoffs? And it's sad, but, like, it's sad, but, like,
Starting point is 01:08:49 it's just sad seeing kind of like the end of an era it seems like and then Clay like looking at the core like that was like sad but what's going on yeah I was sad but I mean Steph is still Steph I mean who knows what I'll be interested to see what they do next year but when you ever see like in an era like that that's what we grew up on you know what I mean so it's kind of crazy yeah yeah all right this is fucking fire no no this is dope man we touch some good topics. Definitely some cancel-worthy topics. Cancel us on Twitter. We'll be waiting, right? And I appreciate you guys. Yeah, I appreciate it. I'm going to end of the
Starting point is 01:09:29 championship. We'll pull up to the party. Yeah. Let's do it for sure. I appreciate you. What's your podcast called again? Here is Mike. Yeah, go check it out. I'll get on there. Let's do it. Next time in the same stadium. I want to interview guys. Let's do it. All right, all. Thank you so much. We already know.
