That was a warm-up.
That's not true.
That's not true.
All we care about is who won.
He won.
Of course.
We're going to find out.
I'm not ashamed to say that.
He won.
We're going to find out later in the show.
Straight up.
He won.
Of course.
Yeah.
It's a girl.
It's a girl.
Every day.
Oh, shit.
When you see...
That means we're one day closer to getting canceled.
One day closer.
One day.
Every single day.
Every single day we're closer.
And one day closer.
But we're going to start the show off with a little football.
Now, Gil, yesterday you talked about how you regretted giving the Wizards $15 million back
so they could make the team more competitive.
Also recently, Dwayne Wade expressed the same sentiments,
saying he regretted giving up around $20 million to the Heat in the Big 3 era.
But yesterday news broke that Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers has restructured his deal
to give the team back $35 million.
That's a bad picture.
That is a bad, that is a terrible picture.
Somebody said it looked like Aaron Rodgers wearing a Halloween costume of Aaron Rodgers.
Shout out to the internet.
That is a bad photo.
Why does he look like the dude from Napoleon Dynamite?
He does.
Uncle Rico.
Uncle Rico. Uncle Rico.
But according to Tom Pelissero, the Jets signed four-time NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers to a new two-year,
$75 million guaranteed contract through 2024.
Rodgers had nearly $110 million guaranteed remaining on his old deal with the Packers.
He's taking less for a shot at a ring or two in New York.
So Rodgers already has a Super Bowl ring and MVP,
but like Herm Edwards once said, you play to win the game.
Jets fans love the move,
and it will surely endear Rodgers to his teammates.
But let's talk about the other side.
The Jets are currently valued, I want to say, at $4.8 billion,
seventh highest in the NFL,
and their owner, Woody Johnson, currently has a net.
He went to Arizona?
Yeah.
I already know. I already know. He's not intelligent, but he got a net. He went to Arizona? Yeah. I already know.
I already know.
I already know he's not intelligent, but he got a net worth.
Dumb people get bags.
Dumb people get bags, too.
But he currently has a net worth of $3.7 billion, according to Forbes.
So, Gil, I'll start with you.
I know what you're going to say, but I got to ask.
Are you rolling with Aaron Rodgers taking a pay cut to try and help the Jets win a chip?
I don't.
I mean, that's what I said at this point in life.
Knowing what I know, there's no point of a player taking a pay cut for a millionaire taking a pay cut for a billionaire.
It sounds retarded, right?
Like, I'm the millionaire.
I'm trying to get to where you are.
You're telling me to take a pay cut to win.
This is your business.
You take a pay cut to have a winning team.
But we're so convinced and conditioned since we were young that winning was everything
that we don't think about the money.
So it's like, all right, you want these rings?
All right, you worth 20?
Give me 10 so I can get him.
All right, cool, that's my man's.
So I can keep all my money still
Instead of said I'm gonna pay you and then I'm gonna give some to you and I take a pay cut the owner will never
Take a pay cut for that ring. He wants the product to do it, so I mean I agree
So I know how this side of the couch feels
Now let's shift it over well
Let me just say this because there is times where you take we should do it in times where you shouldn't
Most times I would say 90% you should do it and times where you shouldn't.
Most times, I would say 90%, you do not take a pay cut.
You're right.
He's a billionaire.
Figure it out on your own.
I'm an employee.
This is my brand.
I'm building my brand.
I get that.
The reason I said yours was different is because it was $15 million.
You already had $170.
I was like, I could see that happening.
$35 for the Jets?
The stinking Jets?
Are you dumb?
Now, I get him feeling like they can win because that division is weak.
The Dolphins are there, the Patriots are there, and the Bucs.
That division is just, not the Bucs, the Bills.
The Bills is the only team in that division that can actually compete with them. So I can see him feeling like, oh, all I got to do is get in the playoffs.
He's a good player, but still 35 for the Jets,
that's outrageous to me.
Like, that's crazy.
Should I see you over here?
Deep thoughts?
In the flavor of conversation,
I'll say Aaron Rodgers, MVP, champion, bringing the pedigree to New York, right?
And he's attempting to revitalize something that's never been done, which is try to get them to a place where whether he stays or leaves, they can have something to root about, cheer about since, what, Joe Namath, right?
And you look at salary cap, right?
You know, if they don't have enough money to spend around him, he's just going to be
the only one there, and they're just going to stink like the best thinking. So to give
them some leverage to try to get something that can help him get them over those trash
teams that are in that division, that can get them to the playoffs and have the city
root for something outside of the Nets and the Knicks and all that stuff.
I can see that, right?
I see that perspective from Aaron.
But then again, like you said, it's the Jets.
It's just like the Browns.
They fucking suck.
It's like the Clippers.
It's like, what the fuck are we doing, right?
But I see his perspective just because he's already won.
He knows it feels like.
He's a leader.
He's an MVP.
He can go into that situation
and give them something to feel good about. So taking a pay cut gives him that extra confidence
from his teammates. Like, damn, Aaron came in here and took less money. So I see both sides,
but it's just one of those confidence things I think that he's doing. He's inserting himself
from another side or he's
Like I don't really need that 35 right and maybe down the line like we're saying after a while
He'll look back and be like
And we still
Good if they win the Super Bowl honestly if they don't
Know you have to win it. $35 million?
We got to win it.
We got to win it.
We ain't changing.
Where they at now?
Trash, trash, trash.
It's like the Cleveland Browns going to the Super Bowl.
Getting there?
Oh, no.
Like, win.
Oh, no.
Get it?
Yeah.
It's like football.
Football.
I got a paper doing forever.
You'll never get there again.
Just getting there.
That agrees.
It's fair.
It's a fair.
Because Cam Newton had a chance.
Go ahead. Never got back, right?
You all know Thanksgiving, right?
You know how we have all this food on Thanksgiving?
Yeah.
And we pick and choose because it's all there.
And then Christmas, before Christmas comes,
and you're hungry as fuck,
and you start thinking about all the food you didn't eat.
That's what happens when you're done
You you got you your business manager now you becoming a businessman looking at your portfolio
I'm gonna fucking say 125 125
All right, it's like you even had to bump it up to 200 and then you thinking about that damn 35 item
God damn it at 35
You said Thanksgiving food to Christmas Eve, no, no, no. We usually have Christmas Eve dinners, right?
No, no, no, before Christmas.
You know, before Christmas.
But when you're starving, you start thinking about the food that you didn't eat.
I'm going to have a Christmas Eve dinner.
Before Christmas.
The 10th, and then go.
The 10th.
Okay, the 10th.
All right.
You got to move that 10th.
All right, I'm just saying.
You got to move that 10th.
Anything around Christmas, I know we're eating good.
It's around that last.
Before Christmas, when you're hungry, you start thinking about all the stuff you yeah, you didn't eat and that's what happens with when you're done done
You're an athlete you become a businessman
You start thinking about all the mistakes you made that this number could have been a little bit higher
And that's why I say you regret it at the end. Yeah, well, when did the wing way say that a
Couple months ago really recent interview
So so like the 20 million what when he got two rings out of that for that big three?
Take a little less bread
but
That's interesting because it's like he already had one ring
So he probably now looking back at it like the next one next who wasn't really he's looking at 20 million is a lot of money
No, for sure hard to make's hard to make it after.
Right, right.
No, for sure.
A lot of money.
I get it.
He's definitely getting the checks.
This is...
I'm not going to say the player's name, but...
This is bullshit.
No, I'm not going to say the player's name.
Say the player's name, man.
This is Gil's Arena.
What's up?
I'm not going to say the player's name.
Sharunas Marshallonis.
But he is considered a basketball top at least 20 player ever.
Okay.
Right?
And he said, legacy means nothing if it doesn't help you when you're done with your career.
Right?
He says, you know, having two, five rings, what does it really mean when you're done?
If nobody cares about you and the game moves on.
And you're sitting at home, looking at the next generation,
they're talking about how this player's better than you
and this and this, and you're sitting there wishing
that I'll trade all this in for...
For a better manager, for a better PR team.
No, for something you need, brother.
I'm about to say, yeah, I'm about to say, wait, hold on.
Like, if I got five rings.
Yeah, rings can help you make money.
But if I win a championship, like, I just felt like we should be able to tap into other things.
That's what I'm saying.
That's what it is.
Like, I feel like I'm going to be way bigger than I was as a basketball player.
Who's your representation?
With what I'm doing now.
But that's what I'm saying.
That's what you think.
You can still make money with rings.
Your legacy means nothing if no one...
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
Where's your legacy?
It just depends on who you are.
You're sitting behind...
It depends on who you are as a person.
You're sitting behind the bench doing nothing.
You never had a job after that.
Right.
It depends on who you are.
It depends on how active you're trying to...
But that's what I'm saying.
What are you doing with your career once you retire, once you're done?
Those rings can help you make money they can
it's based on what you want to do but but the legacy means nothing if you can't capitalize
right that's what the person said i get it i'll trade it all in i'll trade it all in for a real
opportunity today but the difference is i feel like if you can't capitalize right some can't right the can't isn't won't like are you trying to capitalize yeah
are you out there brand you have a brand yeah that when you walk in the room it's like Isaiah said
the one guy we all bow down to is Kareem Abdul-Jabbar that's the captain like he was the
guy who paid the way for everybody right so it's like if the captain can't capitalize
that's the captain's fault.
Captain, what was you doing to put yourself
out there to be like Joe Lewis,
the boxer? When he finished, that
nigga was like Shaq.
Shaq is the biggest, most capitalized
off of everything he's done.
Why is he not the biggest example of this is how you
go get the bread? Go to Papa John's,
go to the...
General Insurance nigga. Man, what? What. Go to the generous... Man, what?
What?
I see hot.
But it's in you, though.
It's your competitiveness, though.
But that's what I'm saying.
Like, when you're sitting around
watching people explore the world,
and you're sitting there
with five, six, seven rings
on the couch,
talking about,
and I trade all this in
for to be on TNT or ESPN.
You could.
Being an analyst or being a coach or being-
You could.
You can.
You gotta have a better manager.
Get up off your ass and go-
Rob Dory.
Representation.
Get up off your ass and go-
I feel like Rob Dory could make money from the rings he won.
He could do things, but he's not-
He's still doing stuff, but-
Yeah, it's up to you.
He analyze.
I think he's an analyst on Fox Sports.
I think people just be downplaying themselves too though. Yes, it's yeah, it's up to you. We and a lot of things the analysts on Fox Sports
I think people just be downplaying themselves to though
Like it's a lot of downplaying yourselves and you looking at you too busy looking at others when you should just be focused on what?
You got to do. I think that's the thing
It's a lot of insecurity or you just depending on this this game to do it for you
Do it for you say here you go. Come on. We gonna walk you into these millions of dollars
You got to get out
Hey, but if you don't know what door to walk in with this ring on you don't get nothing for it
Like if like we have a little we won
We could walk in any door we wanted to we can go anywhere we wanted to in Chapel Hill
Like we wouldn't know where we couldn't go we were getting the ship free
But if we was stuck on the car we couldn't go. We wasn't getting the shit for free.
But if we was stuck on the couch,
we wasn't going nowhere,
you wasn't getting shit.
You don't walk on the lot,
you're not getting a whip.
We were out here playing.
Every day.
And also, like, that's your fault.
That's your fault for being an asshole.
Burning bridges.
Burning bridges.
Should have been a cool nigga.
Should have been cool.
Let's talk about the flip side of that, though. Should have been, you know,
should have been out here.
If players get praised for taking pay cuts to help the team win,
should teams get criticism for making players do that?
Like, your bum ass couldn't even run your team correctly,
so now you're asking for it.
I mean, that's a good point.
Nobody does that, though.
Nobody talks about the Jets.
Nobody ever talked about that.
Like, ugh, niggas, like, Malone just got 500 mil.
You can't...
How come you keep driving a star-used quarterback every year?
Like, you just can't get it right.
500 mil for 10 years get it right by the way
Hmm, I'm gonna mill for ten years. It's trash. It sounded good at the beginning
That's like magic Johnson signed that one year when you five million dollars for one that was like 30
It was like 28 for 30 with some crazy shit back in those days
Before 90 before was Jerry Stackhouse 94? That was 95 draft? Mm-hmm. Before the 95 draft, whatever Jerry Stackhouse, before that draft, Big Dog signed that $90 million.
It was something wild.
$90 million for 10 years.
At that moment in time, it sounded good.
It looked crazy, yeah.
That was the end of his contract.
Yeah.
That was it.
Was it all guaranteed, though?
Yeah.
It was?
But, I mean, everybody else, there's players in that same draft made 200-something million
with the same numbers.
Wow.
But he was in such a long deal that after the...
You know, you play your four years, you could have...
He was 10 years 68 million.
Stuff like that in baseball sounds good.
His agent should have been responsible.
But as a rookie coming in, somebody said, you got a 10-year 68 million dollar deal.
You coming from Purdue.
But that's still your fault.
I mean, it's the Scottie Pippen deal.
That's still your fault.
Yeah.
The Pippen deal was a bad deal.
It was nasty.
Yeah.
But they're looking at that.
When you're coming as a rookie, you're looking at that longevity.
That's what I'm saying.
Championships are made off of bad contracts.
Bad contracts makes dynasties.
You can't be a dynasty if everyone is being paid to their potential.
You can't afford it.
So you... there has to be someone that gets fucked over.
So Magic got fucked over.
Magic got fucked over.
Then it became a dynasty.
But look at Magic now.
Think about this Aaron Rodgers thing.
Is it a bad contract that could potentially put them into a situation?
He got...
You talking about the younger back?
Like the Steph shit, like the Steph?
Like with Steph, you know, they got him for pennies on the dollars compared to his
talent.
So, was it 65 million?
Steph, I thought was like four for 44 or something.
Yeah, something like that.
Yeah, horrible deal.
Right for him, for his talent.
No, but that was the market though at that time.
And he was injured.
No, it wasn't the market.
And he was injured.
Yeah, but it was the market.
That's when Ty Lawson had got 48. Everybody was getting 40 and 44. And he was injured. No, it wasn't the market. And he was injured. Yeah, but it was the market. That's when Ty Lawson
had got 48.
Everybody was getting 40
and 44.
Everybody was right there,
so no.
Because nobody took off.
Yeah, nobody took off.
Drew Holiday was
all-star.
No, James took off.
James took off the next year
when he got traded
from OKC
and he got that
80 for 5
from Houston.
That's what took off.
They had them Jordaneras.
Then you look at the Spurs.
All those guys are underpaid. Yep. That's what I mean. But they them Jordaneras. Then you look at the Spurs. All those guys are underpaid.
Yep.
But they won.
Huh?
James had it cracked.
Because when you're underpaid, you can keep adding all these other pieces.
And you can lock it.
And the franchise gets to keep making their money.
Yeah, you helping my valuation play, boys and girls.
Like, I'll tell you this.
When Boston won that championship, they said for them to break even, they had to win the championship.
And they did. That might, look. That to break even they had to win the championship and it did
Make me feel like the Jets might actually cuz as the owner think about see what they do with that
Ticket prices taking that 35 back. I know you're raising ticket prices. Mm-hmm. You get more national games there
Already everything's going up if the price of everything Jersey sales being there think about ownership, right?
If I own a building and you're paying rent you pay your rent on time. What does that do to my credit?
Make me good. Thank you. Go pay your rent on time nigga
helping me when you show up and I pay you as an owner and
I give you what I give you and you take it
Come show up play good for me for sure and we go win and when we win I
win yeah I get my evaluation we keep going up but if you don't take it and you you demand more
you're like hey man I'm not paying that high ass man you need to bring this shit down
no you need you're gonna have to move get out of the game so as a star player how hard is it to
balance the love of the game and we talked about this yesterday how hard is it to balance the love of the game? And we talked about this yesterday. How hard is it to balance the love of the game versus the business of the game?
Like, we talked about this before the show.
You're on a championship team, right?
You might be a loser.
But you're one of those 12 guys.
You get a chip.
Now you're automatically seen as a winner versus you might be a winner on a losing team.
You're doing everything you need to do.
Showing up early, putting in the work.
Numbers, everything.
But you're going to get the blame if that team is trashed.
Ownership rarely is going to get that blame.
It's rarely going to trickle all the way up to the top.
As players, we know who the winners are and who the losers are.
Yeah, for sure. Exactly.
And I think that's kind of Gil's point he made on my post.
It's like, there are loser-ass niggas on winning teams that are still just losers.
Right. But they got credit as a winner.
But we know that if they go on another team, they're not going to go lead that team to a win.
They just got credit for it.
And that's the dynamic of the conversation that needs to be understood is that winning is a pedigree.
It's a mentality. But you can get credit for being on a winning team just like being in a
winning company or a successful company and you didn't do shit just like you were talking about
when we do the group project and i did all the work and we all got an a turn it in right we all
got an a like i i literally did all the work but you can go and say i i'm an a plus student too
yep i got that and then just to shift it back to basketball, James Harden, right? Harden takes a pay cut
with the Sixers. I want to win.
They get bounced second round.
He opts back in. That'll all surprise us,
but it seems like they have some type of handshake
deal going into that.
Like, all right, just take this pay cut now. We're going
to break you off. Then you don't get that.
And now you're basically fucked. You got to wait
another year now to sign an extension.
He deserves it.
I'm not taking no pay cut.
I'm not taking no pay cut.
Fuck all that.
You see how it backfires.
Nah, I see what you're saying.
I'm not taking no pay cut.
Not from no billionaire.
No, yeah, we were.
Like, not from no billionaire.
That's like that theory when rich people go get free shit.
Right?
It's the same thing.
We're going into a business, and then we're expecting for you to give get free shit. Right? It's the same thing. We're going into a business
and then we're expecting for you
to give us free shit.
Yeah, the dinner's on y'all, right?
My presence is here.
That's the same thing how the owners are.
It's like there's this,
we should be grateful
that they're offering this type of thing.
But it's one thing like,
say a designer or whatever
sends you some gear, you wear that.
Now people see that.
Like, Brandon sent me some Tough Crowd,
and I wear that somewhere.
I'm going to get a bunch of publicity.
Now people ask, that's one side of it.
But yeah, I understand what you're saying.
Like, I don't know, it's hope.
The owner's like, I'm going to give you this.
I mean...
Now I need you to go.
I mean, you should be grateful.
I mean, you should be grateful, though,
because God is putting you in that position.
I mean, you are talented.
A lot of people don't get an opportunity
to be around billionaires and get paid.
So to me, I feel like, yeah, you should be grateful.
If they are, like, you know,
they are helping you change your life.
I mean, I can't help that he's, you know,
he put himself in a position to be able to pay others
and be able to have a business.
So I think you should be grateful, too,
at the same time
I learned I learned I learned from the chick that I was dating
She said, you know, we used to pay for the bottles at the club went to the club with her one night
And she was like, uh, you paying for this
They supposed to be giving you free shit when you walk up in here, because you are the life of the party.
People are coming to this club now because you are here.
And I was like,
Talk to them.
Points were made.
I said, wait, what?
She said, oh yeah, we don't come into no club
without the motherfucking whole booth paid for,
any bottle we want.
We ain't paying for shit.
Because we here.
I don't say her name, but that changed my dynamic
of how shit is done when you rich.
And you got money, and it's like, hey, man,
we got the value in our presence here.
It should be that we're bringing more value to the place.
Okay.
Hold on.
So that means y'all wouldn't take no pay cut.
Because taking pay cut is getting you paying for those bottles.
What you mean?
You know how you said you would take a pay cut for the business?
That's the same thing.
No, we said take it for the rings.
For the rings.
It's the same concept.
If you're buying your own bottles, you're helping the club.
If they pay you to come in club if they pay you
To come in here. They give you bottles out of their pocket
It's not the same concept. It's the same concept. It's ring cuz it's technically range is a reward
The ring is and you get drunk and take 15 You was a reward you were saying that if you would say that the club has the reward as the girls something else is like
I get it, but remember they're paying either you're gonna pay you're going to come out of pocket, which is a pay cut.
I'm going to come out of pocket to have a good time.
Or they're going to pay for you to have that same good time.
So you wouldn't take a pay cut for that club.
So she has you see it.
But they're not necessarily paying.
They're just giving us free bottles.
They bought it.
They're giving us free shit. No, they bought it even though it's pennies on the dollar
They bought it with their own money
So even though it's up charge I bought it for 20, you know 50 bucks and I'm charging 150 now
I'm giving you and that's the reason why it's not a big deal for them to give us free shit
Compared to us paying no
For it, right, but the conversation yesterday was about those five rings.
It's a championship.
Yeah, it's a whole experience.
I'm coming with the...
If Beyonce and Rihanna is at the end of that night...
The bottle's not a championship.
No, the bottle's not a championship.
Wait, the club?
Yeah, I'm saying...
That's what comes home with you.
That's what I'm saying.
If B and Rihanna, one of the things I want, J-Lo, one of them things is coming home with me at the end of that night, that's a championship.
There we go.
That's a championship.
Yeah, man, if I'm in the club, I'm getting free bottles and it's being all that.
I'm definitely going home with a win up in there.
That's a fact.
That's a fact.
That's not a fact.
That's a fact.
That's a fact.
Not to your land.
That's a fact. Not to your land. You's a fact that that's a good name. That's
You get three bottles you get
Party in my prime and I'm in a club with and they've given me free bottles and all this I'm going home with something that night. What if you got a girl in my prime, huh?
No, I'm gonna know
No win for everybody in there. I'm just talking about like it. No, I'm talking one
Shut up. You know, need is one. As a win.
I mean but if I go to the club and I'm by myself. If they find out that you're in town, like you're
sink, like you're definitely going home. If I go to the club right now and you're giving me ten free
bottles, I'm taking, I'm trying to take all ten home. They're all coming back with you.
Party at the crib. That's what I'm saying. They're all coming back regardless.
Everybody can handle 10 women now.
Heard it.
Got it.
Who's that?
I can handle it.
I can look at 10.
I just like it.
I can look at 10.
You see what?
What's happening?
What's happening?
What's happening?
So we got this side that feels one way, this side feels the other way.
Are we going to meet in the middle at all?
Mine relates to where you are.
No, we can agree on this.
I don't know.
Where you are in your career, how much
money you've already made.
That all depends
for me on where you are. For you,
I felt like 15
for a ring for you was worth it.
That's just my opinion.
For you. As an investment
to try to win something.
It didn't pan out.
I personally feel like
if you win a ring, if you're a champion,
me personally,
and I don't know this, maybe you would still have been an idiot
and bring those guns into the damn arena.
But I feel like maybe you don't do that
when you're a champion. Maybe you're like...
I think it gets worse.
I think if he win a ring, it get worse.
It get worse.
I hope he changes his whole perspective what the hell he would be.
I hope he changes his whole perspective on his job, on his career.
If you are a champion, you move differently.
You're trying to get another one.
But I could be wrong.
When you're done playing, right?
You're done playing.
You got your bag, right?
Everything is good.
Your next thing to do is what?
Be a business person, right?
Right.
Right?
Now you're trying to sit here
and try to figure out real estate
or investments and this and this.
Now you're trying to build money.
Yeah.
Once you realize that it is hard
to make a million, two million,
three million a year,
you start thinking about the 40 and 50 million dollars
you got rid of for this
But you see keep adding money because it would take 15 don't it don't matter
It don't matter how much it is. It don't matter because that yes team to have one year
Yes, it's gonna take you 15 million probably five six seven years to make the same 15 million
You're missing is that's the problem. I wouldn't say 40 and 50 million already covered this 15
We didn't already covered. So I'm gonna go 20 minutes into this. How much how much I
Most of these players when they're done how much money did if they made 15 million dollars since they've been done playing He got two rings. I'm not arguing with that. I mean, he got three rings. I'm not arguing that, though. That's not what it is. And he marketable.
It is.
Let's keep this thing moving because we got Cam Thomas has pulled up.
He did.
Oh, yeah.
So we got a special guest making his first appearance at Gills Arena,
entering his third season with the Nets,
prolific bucket getter since high school,
setting the scoring record at Oak Hill,
branding your alma mater as well.
Ain't shit funny.
Led the SEC in scoring as a freshman at LSU.
And he's the youngest player
in NBA history
to drop three straight 40-point games.
Cam Thomas, welcome to Gil's Arena.
We got him?
We figuring it out right now.
We're a black show.

I'm glad it's a trial run because I got somebody that I want to have as a guest on there too.
At least the connection look good.

Look at it. He hasn't spoken yet.
Say something. What if he can hear us? He's just
not fucking with us. Yo, can you hear us?
Fuck, that's my guy. We're just not

I heard something.
Yeah, we can't hear you. I heard it. Y'all gotta turn
our shit up. I heard it in there.
What's up, Cam? Can you hear us?
He can hear us. Can you hear us?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So you got to turn our mics up.
Turn it in here.

This is why you fire white folks when you can.
When you can fire white folks, you fire white folks, man.
Just do it in February.
February 1st through the 29th.
Yeah, stay here.
All right, so ask him a question.
So, Cam, what's going on, man?
It's still early in your career.
You've shown what you're capable of doing when you get the opportunity.
What are you focusing on this summer to get you right for next season?
Yeah, I'm really just focusing on, like, really just getting my body right.
Conditioning.
Louder.
I expect that.
You need to cut his phone up.
Turn your mic up, Cam, so we can see.
No, no, no.
It's not him.
It's our speakers.
They need to push it out here. I said my shit loud as hell the chat can hear we
just can't yeah I can hear him on this
hold on can't bear with us for one we got baby we're trying to get this thing
right we live ours ours need to come all right go ahead camp sorry let me ask you again what are
you focusing on this summer to get right for the season yeah i'm just really just focusing on like
just really like just getting my body right condition ass but i mean obviously the all
court stuff is there you know you know we all who but we just gonna keep working on everything
but really just getting my body right and just being in more, like, better shape, better condition.
For sure. Now,
Gil and Cam, I know y'all got a relationship.
Gil, early in your career, you weren't playing a lot,
but made the most of your opportunities. What advice
would you give Cam going into this season?
You know, me and Cam talked, you know,
I watched him before, was it pre-draft?
He was working out for, he was with
moms, you know, over at the district.
And I just, you know, love the mindset, the work ethic, how he got his shot off.
So I said he was gonna be good.
It's just sometimes our careers don't start off the way we want them to, but it's never
about in real time.
You still gotta work, train, be professional because you don't know who's looking.
You don't know what team is looking, what team needs what. So you still have to go out there
and just get better. Sometimes we get into our, I did it myself. I got depressed. I wasn't playing.
I'm looking at players play. I technically mentally gave up, physically gave up. And you can't do it, right?
You just got to keep working and working and working.
And when they call your name, you ready.
Shit, when they called your name, you was ready.
Yeah.
We can't take that.
You was ready.
Yeah, yeah.
Had to be.
Had to be.
Because we was, like, transitioning from, like, the super team to, like, you know, getting those guys out of there.
Because that was when Kyle got traded, again, like, the day after.
And then K got traded, like, two days after.
So it was like we was starting to transition a little bit.
So I was like, shit, I mean, they got to play me now.
You know, KD ain't playing.
Kyle ain't playing.
So I'm like, hey, you might as well go out there and kill.
Yeah.
So let's talk a little bit about that.
You play with, obviously, KD and Kyrie, both future Hall of Famers.
What did you learn from them about manipulating defenses
to be able to get buckets?
Yeah, really just, like, really everything, really.
When I was in my rookie year, K told me just, like,
always get closer to the hoop.
Because sometimes, you know, when you first come in,
you take, like, long, long,, like long twos, long middies.
And then Eli told me just, you know, try to get in like the paint area to get to your middies.
Because, you know, it's always there, honestly.
So he was like, start from inside out.
Because, you know, kids now, they try to go three ball, then to the hoops.
You know, because K got like an old school game as as far as inside out middies, pull ups, and
then he'll go out to three. Because K don't shoot a lot of threes for everybody doing
today's game. So that's really the main thing. And Kai just caught me. Left hand, right hand.
He got everything, literally everything. So I learned so much from know, I learned so much from them, and, you know, they really helped me in my career so far.
So let me piggyback on that.
So you believe that KD and Kai helped you become a better player,
just watching them, being around them, even that what you just said,
that little bit of information that KD,
did that help you become a better player?
Oh, no.
I mean, really just, you know, it's just good info to know about the league.
Because, you know, coming in, you don't really know too much about the league, really.
You don't really prepare, especially when I came in.
It was like a cold year, so it wasn't really like a whole lot of runs in the summer.
It was just like working out and stuff.
I didn't really have a real fall season.
So I went straight from summer league.
We played summer league into like training camp damn near basically
So it was like I really have a chance to prepare for the season like I wanted to
But really just you know, I made that I mean, you know, definitely definitely good info. So that's probably the main thing
I'll take home. Yeah, so basically, you know, thank you for the info, but I'm him. Yeah.
Hey, he tried to set it up and got rejected again.
Who got rejected?
No, no, no, no, no.
Who got rejected?
He tried to come in with the backslide and got it.
He said the information.
What's the information?
But he had to go do the work.
What's the information?
You went to go do the work, right?
You had to go put in on your own game, right?
Oh, yeah, for sure.
Did the information help you do that?
Did the information help you?
What's the same?
No, he was built.
He's been doing this. What is the same?
What is the same?
All right, I got a question.
So how was your experience at Oak Hill and also your top, your starting five ever out of Oak Hill.
Oh, say that again.
So tell me about your experience at Oak Hill.
I mean, you went there a different time than I did.
And also your starting five at Oak Hill ever.
Yeah, the sound went out.
Sound went out?
Can you hear me? Yo, can you hear out? Cam, can you hear me?
Yo, can you hear me?
Yo, can you hear me?
Yo, yo.
Yo.
Yo, Cam, can you hear us?
That means that last answer was capped.
Oh my God.
Hello?
Damn. Damn, what happened? Oh my God. That's all that means. Hello? That's all that means. We lost the audio.
Damn.
Damn, what happened?
We'll get back to you.
Get back to you.
All right.
Okay.
Can you hear us or no?
Nope.
Clearly can't.
All right.
Well, let's try and figure that out.
Again, Black Show, Tubi's finest.
Tubi watching live.
We headed right to Tubi.
Say this live.
Oh, those arena.
We do shit on the arena.
No, no, we're not going to put that on the Blacks.
Put the Blacks on the arena.
Put the Blacks on the arena. Put the Blacks on the arena. Put the Blacks on the arena. Put the Blacks on the arena. Put the be watching on the blacks they wouldn't do this to skip to Skip Bandis. We know where this is coming from.
Skip don't have these problems.
He said the blacks.
Is he back yet?
Can you hear us yet?
Can you hear us yet, Cam?
A Wi-Fi, man.
Ladies and gentlemen,
this is Gil Zerino.
This show is live.
As always, let me remind you this is brought to you
by Underdog Fantasy.
If you have not done so already,
go out and download the app. Use promo code GILZERINO and we can get better Wi-, this is brought to you by Underdog Fantasy. If you have not done so already, go out and download the app.
Use promo code GILSARENA.
We can get better Wi-Fi.
If you go to the Underdog Fantasy app
and you use promo code GILSARENA
and we get enough sign-ups,
we can get better Wi-Fi.
We can bring y'all better quality interviews.
We get the audio right.
But we're working on it right now.
But just amongst yourselves,
Brandon, for you,
what was your experience like?
Oak Hill. Just that lineage. Stepping in. What have you, what was your experience like Oak Hill?
Just that lineage, stepping in.
And what have you seen from when you were there to now?
I just visited Oak Hill about probably like two years ago.
I mean, they definitely have better Wi-Fi service now.
They can definitely get off campus more.
But I think when I first got there, I played with Nolan Smith my first year.
And, you know,
he was there to help me out a lot.
Just get adjusted, being the way
California kid coming all the way to Virginia
to play ball. And I think the nearest
thing was like a McDonald's and
a gas station, like 45 minutes.
But I think...
From the school? Yeah, from the school.
Oak Hill's like up in the mountains.
Who's your top five?
So, that's why I was about to say,
you give us your top five O'Kill.
My top five O'Kill?
I just saw Jerry Sackhouse top five O'Kill
and I wasn't in it.
Not that personal,
but I probably wouldn't have passed it to him.
Is it beef?
No, no, no, no, no.
Who was his top five then?
He picked Rondo at the point,
but I understand because Rondo would pass the ball.
Me, I averaged 35.
I wasn't passing.
But my top five would have to be myself,
Nolan Smith,
I'm going to go with Cam
Thomas, I'm going to go with Melo,
and I'm going to go with Josh Smith.
No Stack Jack? No Jerry
Stackhouse? No Stack Jack?
Because I don't know if Stack...
Wait, did Stack Jack finish?
Yeah. At Oak Hill?
Oh, he graduated?
I think so, yeah.
So I guess that would be hard because, you know,
once the player gets to the NBA,
he's not going back looking at his high school.
And it also depends on how many years you were there too, right?
Does that matter?
Yeah, like a lot of guys came like one year.
I came twice.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
I went two years,
and then guys started doing like three years now.
Like they're starting to go three years.
Right. But like it's usually like you get them on their last year.
So it's kind of hard to be like, yo, if he's the best there.
Because it's like, well, sometimes they just go in there for their last year.
I'm hearing something.
We got Cam.
Cam, you hear us?
Still figuring it out.
Yeah.
That's why I just host, okay?
I don't do none of that other shit.
None of the shenanigans.
But we don't play for state.
Like a state championship.
Y'all got fifth years there too, right?
No, no.
You have your own individual division that you're in, right?
No, no.
You could play again?
Y'all don't play for state?
Do y'all play for national?
No, we just play for the national.
So if we don't beat, if our whole schedule, if we don't go undefeated, we don't win nothing.
Yeah.
So we don't play for no state championship, like none of that.
We don't have no division. Because don't win nothing yeah so we don't play for no state championship like none of that we'll have no division because because i think i think because
the way it's set up like because we recruit from everywhere so it's like you know us like like like
us playing for the virginia state championship every i mean we'll have one every year so it's
like we only play for the national like finley prep right in vegas yeah same thing it's a super
it's a super prep team yes everybody else step else step your game up. It's so funny
But we don't have 15 years. We don't play for Nationals
No, California. Yeah, we don't get that's retarded. But that's stupid. We are the news. What have you done?
I'm one team. Is that why just so good? It's not fair to other states. This is a basketball dominant state though
Well, that's crazy
But that's a but if you're allowed to recruit if you're allowed to recruit and build a team, how come we can't?
Because y'all got the most players that go for fifth years to go to other prep schools.
A lot of California players that don't come out that senior year, they go to the East Coast.
We got about a year.
Who the hell wants to do a fifth year?
In high school?
Yeah.
Sometimes you have to because you don't get the grades.
Yeah.
Or you get hurt.
MCL tear.
You want to get another year.
Oh.
I just feel like, hey, I'm going to come back again for my fifth year.
I'm ready to get the hell up out of here.
I'd rather you do fifth year versus hold back.
Yeah.
No, I hold back.
No, I'd rather hold back when he's in middle school. That's what I did. You stay back? Yeah. No, I hold back. No, I'd rather hold back when he's in middle school.
That's what I did.
You stay back?
Yeah.
The reason-
Because I got put back into my right grade.
Okay.
Because I was always playing up.
Yeah, so if my mom didn't put me back into sixth grade, I would have graduated in 07,
and I would have been 17.
Okay.
So that's not for me, and that's not like-
Like, yeah, so I was always playing up until my mom, my mom held me back and I was playing my right great
They had that ruling Cali, right? You couldn't play past like 19 some of those dudes. Yeah, we're so close to
Everybody so the camera's over what we doing think they're still working it out
Is that the first time you guys have had one on on me? No, it's a second second. I think the first one go first one was good. He was white
First time madam I try to give him the white handshake. He did I was like, I didn't know but I'm sorry. I'm sorry. He thought she was white too
I know we can do
We can talk about how you got your ass hooked on that golf course Oh Segway
You know, you don't fucked up right? I mean, I know he's texting me

I know I mean we clip is showing you're not telling what this really is what
would really what the clip that you're play. You're not saying what really happened in that clip.
We know what happened.
Yeah, I missed the ball, but you're not saying what led to it.
You can talk after.
You want to do it now or we want to do it?
Play that clip right now.
Let Gil run the show.
Let Gil produce the show.
Gil's Arena presents the first annual Gil's Arena Open.
Let's show the clip.
I'll show you the 400. Like, it's literally we drove to the thing. Oh, and look, if y'all golf game like that, I'm going to pro-compete y'all.

But you're a girl.
But, yeah, I know I'm a girl.

You don't want to go give a girl another...
I hit 300. You got to...
It's going to take you three hits just to get to one hit.
But you don't...
You act like you hitting a hole in one or something.
Like, are you doing a hole in one?
You still got a putt, you still got a chip,
you still got to do all those other parts of golf.
We ready to get it?
I don't know.
Trev, you're peeping, man.
Oh, no.
I'm proud.

but you're a pure woman. You're scared. You're not feminist at all. I'm scared scared I don't know if this is feminist weird
Not feminist at all
Hit the ball every 30 yards how what am I fucking my skin at folks? I think I'm gonna one hit 300 yards is gonna take you all day to get there. The funny part is that's where the fourth sweet
That's where Forbes swing. That's where Forbes swing.
There's no taker all day to get 300 yards.
Nobody worry about you.
You think because you can hit further than me, you can beat me, that's it?
You know, there's like chipping, there's putting, there's other parts of the game.
Unless you're hitting hole-in-ones, you still got to complete the process of getting the ball in the hole.
That sounds cute in theory, right?
I'm not losing.
I'm not losing the dog to no girl.
You're crazy.
If I hit it 300 yards and it it takes you three hits to do that,
I can fuck up all day.
It's not going to take me.
I can fuck up all day before you get to the first hit.
All right, I'm not worrying about it.
We on the par five.
It'll take you 25 shots to get there.
No, no.
But what was the competition?
She can't handle the pressure.
She missed twice and then hit it four feet.
Look at that.
She's picking up both her balls, right?
Right here.

But if you lose...
No, no, no, it can't be that.

He beat you
You can talk your shit, but what I'm saying is if you lose to me I'm not listening
This is this is she's gonna hit six Oh my Lord.
Mercy.
Gil, why you didn't... Why you didn't...
That's not what actually happened.
Yes, Gil.
Great footage.
You know you done fucked up, right?
Uncle Shook got you.
Gil, did you miss any balls?
Did you shank any balls?
No, you did.
I shanked and still won a hole. I didn't record you, though. I didn't record you because I don't care. No, because you know you did I shank and still want to hold you though I didn't
record you because I don't care no because you seen how good I was let's give that's not true
let's give the true disclaimer of what that clip was do you want to say or you want me to say what
really happened so when we get there I'm playing I'm already four holes in got a par I'm playing
great are you getting there explaining no no no I'm, no. I just want to explain what that is.
I'm teeing from the ladies tee, right?
Gilbert says, and Darrell was like, do not do it.
Do not fall for it.
He goes, let me just see you try to hit from the 500, you know, or whatever, from the men's tee, which is like 500 yards.
And I was like, you know what?
Fuck it.
I'll try.
I know I can't.
I know that's not in my game.
I was going to fuck up my whole swinging technique.
So I just tried it.
That's it.
That's what happened.
But wait.
That's literally what that was.
It was me trying to hit the ball as far and hard as I can just to see.
That wasn't even a part of the game.
That was me just trying something.
Almost like if somebody said to me,
imagine we were shooting a three-point contest
or something, right?
And we're in the midst of the competition
and you say, Miko, let me just see
if you could try to make some four-pointers.
Just for shits and giggles.
That's what that was.
And it's fine.
It's fine.
But your form wouldn't change, though.
You still hit the ball.
I am a brand new golfer. That's where I It's fine. I couldn't do it. But your form wouldn't change, though. You still hit the ball. I am a brand new golfer.
That's where I messed up at.
I'm trying to swing my, like, almost take my shoulder out because it's 500 yards.
It was just me trying something.
You think you would have hit the ball if you were just hitting from the women's tee?
I did.
After that, I did hit from the women's tee.
That was me trying to hit from the men's tee.
That's it.
All right, so look.
Basically, what she's saying is from the yellow tee, right, from the yellow ones, the woman's tee. That was me trying to hit from the men's tee. That's it. Alright, so look. Basically what she's saying is
from the yellow tee, right?
From the yellow ones, the women's ones,
she sucks, right?
She can hit the ball sometimes.
No, that's not true. You move it back a couple more feet
for some reason. That's not a couple more feet.
Blue, she can't even hit the ball. That's not a couple feet.
It's almost a hundred. Did y'all notice she didn't
actually hit the ball in no way. I did too, Gil.
I did. Two different times hit it. I did.
Two different times.
Yes, I did.
You weren't recording then, remember?
I recorded.
No, no, no, no, no.
No, you even said, I wish I was recording.
Recording the first one because you missed the first two.
No, I didn't.
Went to the bushes.
You went to go pick the balls up.
No, you recorded the ones I missed.
No.
I hit those other ones far right.
Those other ones.
I did.
Who won? He won. Bird in. Those other ones. I did.
Who won?
He won.
Bird in the hand.
Listen, if she hit the balls, why are we still?
How can I put?
She was missing.
I was like, oh, shit, I got to record this.
We're still here.
We're still sitting here.
We're still here.
There we go.
I just said that.
I was trying to see if I could hit the ball from the 500-yard mark.
Can't do it. You can't.
It's not successful.
Moral of the story is... We'll see you
next summer. Yeah, but how many
shots did you beat me by?
How many?
I don't know. I wasn't counting.
Because you... Like that right there.
So like that hole right there, I didn't even...
I didn't even... I didn't even...
You did, but you didn't finish that hole.
I hit it, and then I'm like... You didn't finish that hole. I did it, and then I'm like, it took her 12 hits.
I'm good.
No, that was practice.
I can't.
That was practice.
Moral of the story is, I want chicken and broccoli for dinner.
Moral of the story is, I'm not losing.
Get your ass in that kitchen.
Get your ass in that kitchen and cook me something.
I owe him dinner.
I owe him and his kids dinner.
But my point is, you beat me by two.
I can cook non-vegan food.
I fried chicken for my mom and my sister yesterday.
I told you.
Vegan chicken?
No, stop playing.
No, I didn't.
I'm sorry.
First of all, no, I didn't beat you by two.
Yes, you did.
Listen, she didn't even count this video.
More like a story.
There was 12 hits here.
She didn't count it.
Here's how it went.
Here's exactly how the score went.
Gil showed up right after we finished four, okay?
Fourth hole, which I parred. First time
ever. Shout out to me.
Anyway, the fifth hole, we're
getting ready to start the fifth hole. Wait, hold on.
So out of all the golf you've been playing for a month,
that was your first? Okay, go. I've only played twice.
I told you that. It's only my third time playing.
Are you fighting for a loss right now?
No, no, no. I'm just explaining
the score, what happened.
He shows up at the fifth hole, and I say, we're on now.
He goes, no, you're going to try to McCants me.
I need to warm up.
Don't do me like he did me.
Is that what we're calling it now?
That's what he's calling it.
The McCants me?
He said he tried to McCants me.
The McCants me.
You know, the McCants me means, what am I be doing to people?
What am I be doing?
He's already warm, and then he wants to challenge
We told you the tea times 425 in the spirit of him not crying about whatever happened
I said fine this fifth hole doesn't count to you because you need a warm-up hole fine. We'll start at six
He said cool. So fifth hole don't count. What would I do in the fifth hole?
You got par. Okay. I got par still. Okay, so fifth hole don't count sixth hole sixth hole which counts We both bogeyed we both bogeyed Darrell can vouch for this. Okay
Seventh hole is that one that you guys saw right there that he didn't finish. I finished it at a double bogey
What's double bogey. That was the bogey to
Yeah
I just told you that that was just so
You know from the ladies
Listen to what we see her take seven hits
Right now we're gonna add she move to the yellow and double bogey off the yellow
This is yes, that's too much Now we're gonna add she moved to the yellow and double bogeyed off the yellow She don't even get to go the next turn
I was just trying this he wanted to see what look like me hidden from the men's side kicked her
I went from the ladies. Oh, he refused to finish the hole. He goes, you missed too many times. I said, Gilbert, that don't count. That's all I had to do, switch a little league.
The eighth hole we both played, he got par, I got bogey.
You won that hole.
Eighth hole.
That's the first hole he won.
I bogey, which means that one shot he beat me by, right?
The ninth hole, when we get there, Gilbert realizes he left his fucking putter at the eighth hole had to run back to the eighth
Hole to find his putter so he didn't even play the ninth hole. I did play that hole. No you did not you played the tenth
That was the last hole we played
The rail the rail we already talked about this what would I do on a you you part and you won that one
Oh, and then I left. Yes
Me and Darrell played the ninth one. Oh, and then I left? Yes. Oh, okay. And then you left. Oh, then I left.
Me and Darrell played the ninth hole.
Okay.
Okay?
The tenth hole, he caught up to us.
Mm-hmm.
And he parred, and I bogeyed.
So that's one shot win on two holes.
The other one, we both did the same thing.
Okay, so in theory...
Two shots, you beat me by.
So...
Two.
So I won every hole we played.
You didn't get a win.
No, no.
You didn't win one hole.
No, we tied on the sixth. But did you get a win. No, no. You didn't win one hole. No, we tied on the sixth.
But did you win a hole?
No.
Okay.
You tied.
Nobody won that.
Never lost to no girl.
Never lost to no girl.
You won by two shots to someone that's only played golf three times ever in their life.
She was getting her ass whooped so bad that she had to change it to, we're going to play per hole.
We're going to play per hole.
I don't know any other way to play, Gil.
And you agreed to that at the beginning, so stop.
I didn't care.
I don't know another way to play.
Like I said, I'm new.
I'm brand new.
And I said, we're going to go by hole.
That's the L-C.
How many holes can you win?
How many holes can I win?
That's what we did.
We played.
You know the rule.
Y'all should be ashamed of yourselves, ladies out there who voted for the.
That's okay. Two months. 46%. Give me two months. Two there who voted for the that's okay two months
give me two months
give me two months
you won Gil
fair and square you won
fair and square you beat me by two
shots good job you beat a
girl that's only played three times
with her first time playing with her first set of clubs
good job way to go
and you can't hit the ball And you can't hit the ball.
And you can't hit the ball 400 yards.
You can't do that.
Like you said, you lied on that.
That's the problem.
I didn't even...
No.
You can't challenge him and then make it like...
I didn't even get my power off.
But you can't challenge him.
Why can't I just say he won?
But look, you challenged him, right?
I did.
And then you...
Because he said I was sorry.
Now you're making it like him beating a girl is not a thing.
No, it has nothing to do with a girl.
But you're like, oh, he beat a girl.
You challenge him.
He beat somebody's soul.
He beat somebody's soul.
I didn't even get to use my power.
I beat her because my touch was so nice.
He didn't know my touch was nice.
No, Gil.
Remember you said, you can do the power.
How are you going to putt and do all this?
No.
Putt was phenomenal.
Phenomenal.
No, I gave you props on your chipping.
My chipping, my putting was phenomenal. Your chipping was regular. Your chipping was phenomenal. Phenomenal. No, I gave you props on your chipping. My chipping, my putting was phenomenal.
Your chipping was regular.
Your chipping was good.
Your putting was regular.
Your chipping was good.
Your putting was regular.
Your tee was trash.
And you hear from the ladies, too.
Match.
Good shit.
Give me two months.
That's all I got to say. Give me two months. That's all I got to say.
Give me two months.
Before we proceed with this convo, we just want to apologize.
Can we see Gilbert hitting the ball bad, though?
Can we see that?
Because he's trying to act like I'm the only person that shanked ball.
We don't need to.
You know why?
Why?
Because you didn't win a hole.
That's fine.
That's fine.
So what's up?
Before we go any further, we want to apologize to Cam Thomas for your technical difficulties.
Cam, we appreciate you pulling up.
We're going to get you back on the show soon.
Yeah, man, I had a good question, too, bro.
We had a good-ass question for you.
Shit.
I didn't even get to do it.
It's all right.
You should just email him.
See if you can make him just respond.
Email me.
Niggas answer emails?
I don't think niggas answer emails.
All right, can we get back to basketball?
Let's get back.
Let's get back.
All right, let's talk a little bit.
We're going to talk about aliens.
But there's a basketball pegging in this shit.
Do y'all believe in aliens?
Peg?
I'm an alien.
Pause.
I'm an alien.
You want to say pegging?
No, there's a peg to the topic.
But there was a UFO hearing on Capitol Hill Wednesday with the House Oversight Committee
investigating an alleged cover-up by the Pentagon of a program on UAPs, which are unidentified
aerial phenomenon.
But during the hearing, a dude dropped this bomb about some of E.T.'s cousins. Do we have the bodies of the pilots who piloted this craft?
As I've stated publicly already in my News Nation interview, biologics came with
some of these recoveries. Yeah. Were they, I guess, human or non-human biologics?
Non-human biologics?
Non-human, and that was the assessment of people with direct knowledge on the program I talked to
that are currently still on the program.
So we know black people don't take shit seriously,
so the jokes started flying like them.
I believe it. They coming.
Niggas found out it was aliens yesterday.
All we want to do is get the jokes off.
That's why I love us as a human race and people.
Doing this for white folks.
You know what you're turning up?
You sure?
He done finished the wine.
I'm not doing alien talk.

Wow, why why because they turn into my field?
He's a turner the humans right now like I, I know. Them motherfuckers just evolving.
They not doing it though.
There's just shit that just does not register in my brain, so I don't even think about it.
But there's a theory also that dinosaurs is not a real thing anyway.
It was made.
That's not even kidding.
They say last day is a monkey, first day is a human.
People like, yo, you don't go to the pyramid, you don't go sightseeing.
No, I don't believe in none of this shit I see.
None of it.
I don't know none of this.
You're going to die right here.
Go to Italy, watch these buildings.
Man, fuck all that.
That's the end of that shit.
That's why I don't travel.
Nothing to see here, huh?
Do you feel like we're living in a city? Gil, I bet if you travel, your whole life would change.
Your whole life would change if you traveled.
You should stay single, too.
But you went to China, and China didn't do nothing for you
That's see now you on my thing. They didn't have they didn't have like right piping for the
for the sewage system
So the fuck were they doing the last hundred years if it's if it's fucked up today where they've been doing the last hundred years
You see what my brain goes like? Oh, no
Just built like fucking couple years ago If it's fucked up today, what they've been doing the last hundred years. You see where my brain goes? Like, oh, no.
China was just built like fucking a couple years ago.
I ain't trying to get into all this, man. Yo, something's wrong with you.
We're going to do our job today.
Something is wrong with him.
We're going to piss every single person on the planet off,
except for the city of Detroit.
Motherfuckers riding around the country in horses.
Hey, yo, did you, um, did you walk the Great Wall?
Yo, did you, uh, walk the Great Wall of China?
No, it's too long.
I don't do all that just walk on just...
Nothing? Nothing just made you want to go out there?
No.
History?
No.
More than room service looking at the shit that makes sense to me.
Cartoons. Come on, man. What's wrong with y'all? History? No. I'm more than room service looking at the shit that makes sense to me.
Cartoons. Come on, man.
What's wrong with y'all?
It's cartoon.
It's cartoon, makes sense.
Like, what's wrong with you?
Oh, Bugs Bunny is on.
Like, the shit I think about is who came up
with the color yellow and why is it yellow?
That's, you know, like, the shit I can,
yellow, who came up with this?
This is brilliant.
Do they still get paid today?
Damn.
Who's that family member?
Hey, I saw something on Twitter.
It was basically like, why is today
Thursday?
When was the first Thursday? Who's the nigga that
can't track? Yeah. Why do we have
Monday through Sunday? See, that's the shit I be on,
man.
Why does it
have to be morning and night? Why do we
have to go by time? But there are answers to that.
You just got to look for it.
Ancient aliens. By the time I do all that I don't went to a point
I'm good. I mean well, I mean I mean read the Bible read the Bible read the Bible
They're beyond a lot of answers out there like this why I keep my mouth shut about that shit
you ask me why I wear this crown because I'm
superior
So I don't even get into it
Just know I wear cuz because I wear it.
God damn it, I ain't going to call myself the king of shit,
but I'm king of everything.
Yo, what would you do with a billion dollars?
I'd buy a lot of shit.
A million dollars ain't really...
A billion dollars is nothing?
It's debt.
It's debt?
To who?
Why is it debt?
To the...
Because it's paper.
Paper needs to be backed by something valuable why do you care
because I was on gold I'll go buy gold my gold you're gonna buy gold to do what would they do what though it's like where would you live and stuff I'll go buy gold. Buy gold. You're going to buy gold to do what with the gold?
To do what, though?
It's like, where would you live and stuff?
I would go get the gold and then have conversations with my Saudi friends.
So you would move out there?
I wouldn't have to move anywhere.
I would have conversations.
They would actually talk to me.
They don't talk to people with paper.
They talk to people with assets.
Gold is an asset, so the conversation I would be able to have with them would be different
than a Floyd Mayweather would have with them.
If you don't have gold, silver, or anything worth something-
Boy, I got that.
You don't think Floyd got that?
Boy, I'm just confused.
So you're going to use the money to buy a different kind of money?
No, no, no, no.
It's not a- Oh, use the-
It's valuable. It's just it's a value system
Currency is a value. Okay, so what I'm saying paper in the paper is not a value. Take this paper
This is a different way to buy gold boy. I got a whole airport in Dubai like
My own island and have my own family my my own community, my own, you know.
Black welfare.
Yes.
Are they going to get annoying after a while?
Are you going to boot them off?
If I own the land, I'm building the houses.
This is something I'm actually working on now.
I don't have a billion dollars, but it doesn't cost a billion dollars to do this.
But I would like to buy some property in another country and build like 15, 20 houses on that land and sell them to people.
I would choose to be my neighbors
to run this community with.
If I'm buying an island, ain't nobody, can't nobody come on.
No, I'm confused.
But I'm confused.
No, no, no, you can pull up, but...
You need help.
But like, I'm building, that's like a...
Like, if I got an island, it's a private...
Like, I'm doing like, what's that one movie with DiCaprio?
Oh, the island.
The beach.
The beach.
Yeah, the beach.
Like, I'm building something like that.
But you need somebody there.
You need people.
You need someone to feed you.
You need your kids to have education.
You need all kinds of stuff.
What he would use his gold for.
No, no, no.
I don't care what he's going to use the gold for.
It's to get the gold.
So you're going to use paper money that don't mean nothing to buy something that means something.
So instead of using the paper to buy a car,
you're going to buy the gold, and the gold is going to buy the car?
Do you want a history lesson?
No, I'm just saying, like-
You said you don't understand.
Yeah, just-
Do you want to understand?
If I can buy the car with-
Yeah, yeah.
Do you want to understand?
Gio's Arena on a Thursday.
Yeah, I want to understand.
1933, they told people to take in their gold and exchange it for paper, where gold was the standard before the paper.
And when that happened, gold became obsolete because they said, here, we're going to give you this piece of paper that you believe is gold.
It is not.
And you're all going to operate on this paper system.
So now you can take paper to go try to buy gold back, which means that it's more.
It's worth more than the paper.
So I would actually need paper to go get the gold, which I can't just go get the gold by itself
unless I'm mining it. So the whole system that was created with paper, with niggas think they rich
because they have a bunch of paper, is an illusion because you don't have anything behind it.
Gold is the standard. The standard is gold.
That's why they call it the gold standard because that is the metric of value. So if you don't have
gold and you only have paper, you really don't have any value. You just got a bunch of paper.
No, I get that. But that's not true that you don't have any. No, no, no. Listen, I get that.
You can buy gold with your paper, then you have something. I get all...
Listen, I get that.
I'm saying if you have a billion dollars in paper, and then you go take that paper to
buy gold, and then that gold buys you the house and the cars.
No, the gold doesn't buy you anything.
The gold creates a sovereignty, just like this crown creates a sovereignty.
He asked you what you're going to buy.
Yeah.
I'm going to buy gold which which creates my own
Did you have just have gold sittings? No, no
Because now my sovereignty is that I you can't infringe on my area because this is my area
Sovereignty is a different conversation than just being rich and wealthy
No, we're asking you what you are
A billion dollars I want to buy a billion dollars.
I want to buy.
Look, that's too deep for me.
Like I said, you wanted a history lesson?
I'll give you one. I don't know.
I'm just asking.
I'm history.
I'm asking what people would do with a billion dollars.
I mean, I'll give you some different shit.
I would buy some gold, but I'm still going to keep.
I'm getting my own community.
I would buy some gold bricks, but I'm still going to do my own stuff.
I have a billion dollars, and I'm going to buy something, and I now have a billion dollars in gold.
But I can't use the gold to go buy nothing.
You can.
Because gold is worth more than paper.
If I can go take my gold.
You're going to have to exchange it.
I can go take my gold.
No one's taking gold as a.
And go buy a car with my gold bar.
No, you cannot.
Yes, you can.
No, you cannot.
No.
So I can take my gold bar and go buy a house with my gold bar.
Okay.
Okay.
No, they're going to. I've never heard that. They're going to need you to exchange that. They're not going to're gonna need you to exchange they're not gonna tell you what the rate of gold is and they're gonna say this how much
what do you say if you can buy if you can buy a house with a gold bar you gotta just go for it
you gotta try that you can buy listen i mean i've never seen it i'm just saying gold bars are rare
you can buy so one gold bar you can buy a house one gold bar is worth at least
50 million
One gold bar. So like so how big is the gold bar like this like?
Depends it could be this big blue cut get these long to be a small slim
All right, but listen, all right, all right my bad. I'm sorry y'all we got off the rails a little bit
We're trying to buy I'm gonna go get a little bit. I'm going to try to buy...
I'm going to go get a gold bar.
I'm going to try to buy a house with it
and see if it's really accurate.
So you're going to have a whole different...
Chad, we appreciate y'all sticking with us.
But I can also buy that house with the same paper.
Never mind.
Whether it's paper or gold bar,
take it under Dog Fantasy.
Download the app.
I want the result.
I don't give a shit what I get it with. If it can be
dog nuts. I got enough of it to buy this
car I want. There you go.
So let's keep this thing. We'll be back to a basketball
discussion. Then we'll probably go off the rails
again. But you posted
an interesting question on your IG recently.
Do we have that?
So in their primes,
who's the most dangerous
when hot? You had Dame, you had Steph most dangerous with hot when hot you had Dame
you had Steph
you had Melo
you had Clay
it's not even a conversation bro
Steph
when hot right
when hot
Steph
so Gil do you agree with Brandon
I pick
when hot
I pick Clay when hot
why'd you pick Clay
because
out of the three
his hot can it's hard to control his hot because he doesn't
need the ball.
Dribbling, he's, you know, two dribbles, like he scored what, 67 points, less than...
Like 11 dribbles.
11 dribbles, so when he gets hot it's more dangerous because he's moving.
It's hard to double someone who's coming off screens and doing all that.
So it just seemed like I wanted to go with Dame originally,
but I was like, well, Klay is hard because even when he scored 60,
he had Curry and KD on the floor.
But because he shoots so fast and he can get it up so fast,
it just seems like once he gets high, it's hard to go.
So you picked Klay?
I picked Klay.
And who'd you pick?
I haven't picked anybody yet.
Oh.
I'm picking Steph just off the OKC game.
I'm picking Steph.
Like that OKC game,
I feel like that was Steph's coming out part.
That OKC game,
when he hit them threes back to back
and seat walking and uh-uh.
I feel like that hot was like,
that took him to another,
I feel like, another level.
But I understand what you're saying with Klay
because that 63 with 11 dribbles is crazy. And then you him to another, I feel like, another level. But I understand what you're saying with Clay because that 63 with 11 dribbles is crazy.
And then you got to go, to me, I got to go Dame and then Melo after that.
If I'm ranking it.
Who you got, Gil?
Who's order?
You got Clay first.
Who do you pick after that?
In order, Clay, Dame.
Clay, Dame, then Steph, or Mello?
We got to get some more gentlemen's cut on here for you.
It's so hard because it's three different types of hot.
I'm just saying, like, when it pours in, when we're talking about hot,
that means it's boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
It's Steph.
It's got to be Steph because his hotness is like,
if Steph gets hot, right, and he hits all.
Has Steph scored 60 yet?
He don't have to.
He don't even play in the fourth quarter.
A lot of those years.
A lot of those years he didn't even play in the fourth.
I feel like his hot always goes.
It's always going to be.
It's always a momentum to where it's like the team is about to take off now.
His hotness is like.
Steph K to blazer 62 back in 2021.
Where, okay, let me ask you guys a question, okay?
Let me show you.
So between Steph and Klay,
how are they getting the ball to score their buckets?
I don't know.
Steph is bringing it up.
Steph is bringing it up.
Yeah.
So Steph comes down and boom, boom, boom,
shoots the ball.
Yeah.
Right, that's how he gets hot.
Or it comes off screens.
And they come off, you know, all that, yeah.
So someone has to pass Klay and Steph the ball, so he has to screen for them to get them the ball. Yeah. Right, that's how he gets hot. Or it comes off screen. And they come off, you know, all that, yeah. So someone has to pass, play, and step the ball.
So it has to screen for them to get them the ball, right?
So if we can neutralize that, it can stop that hotness, right?
Dame and Melo got the ball in their hands.
They're creating their shots to stay hot.
I believe Dame is one because he's going to come down.
He can get it off the bounce. He can get it off the dribble. He can get it off the step back. He can get it off all of that shit, and he's going to come down. He can get it off the bounce.
He can get it off the dribble.
He can get it off the step back.
He can get it off all of that shit, and it's going to go in, go in, go in.
But Melo is post-up, middie, three-ball, bring it up.
It's a different type of hot that you can't really turn off.
I feel like you could turn clays off.
You could turn plays off
It's never been it's never been turned off with those two
What do you mean it's never been it's never been I mean they're still hot they just won a championship last year so
When they get hot who's when they're hot who is the most dangerous person when that's that yeah, I would say dance
Because you can't because you can stop me. I can bring it up.
He has the ball.
I can pass it off.
You can't stop me.
Yeah, he's hitting it from way more ways than me.
Because if I want to come down and shoot three in a row and make three, I can do that.
You can't stop me.
And Steph goes to the whole...
It's everything.
It's like you said, levels to the game.
Steph has every level.
But we're not talking about who is the best scorer when they're hot.
No, no.
Come on, when he's hot.
Who's the most
dangerous when hot? Dame.
The person who can score 37 in the quarter.
If Dame's hot, he still can't win. That's not Dame.
So it doesn't matter. Dame. There's only
one person who scored 37 points
in the quarter. No, no, no. That's the one person who's done it.
I scored 35. That doesn't mean Dame can't
do it. No, it can't. But it doesn't
mean he can't do it. Not 35 in the third quarter. Oh my lord.
It doesn't mean he can't do it. He can't do it. I mean, I'm just saying like being hot. I just feel like
being when they're hot though, it leads to winning. So it's like, I mean, I mean hot
is okay. Oh shit. I'm hot. Okay. The question is who's the most dangerous? Not least danger.
When you say in danger, what does that mean? Winning, winning. I mean, he's dangerous.
That means when he gets hot, he's going to win.
He can get a win for his team.
I don't care about, like, I don't know.
There's nothing about win.
Who is the hardest motherfucker to guard when they're on fire?
When they're on fire.
When they're on fire.
Who is the person that you don't want to guard when they're on fire?
Does this list?
Because he don't need no dribbles.
He don't need nothing.
You think Steph needs dribbles?
He can just do whatever. Steph don't need dribbles either. He can come up at whatever. Steph don't need dribblesbbles. He don't need nothing
He can come up Down he's doing he doesn't need dribbles
God damn damn God damn
No I got the collab coming and shit, but goddamn. But goddamn. I didn't even think this was going to be cut. Goddamn, no.
I didn't even think this was going to be cut.
This motherfucker winning.
He's still hot.
He winning fucking golf tournaments.
I mean, he's just hot.
That's not.
We're just talking about when they get hot.
Right.
Who are you scared of?
Steph.
Steph.
You should be scared of somebody who's going to turn that hotness into wins and to a championship.
I'm not about that.
We're talking about individual.
When you have to guard someone, who will you be scared to guard when they're on fire I'm not scared to guard nobody can win a game
when he's hot I don't care where he's getting well get off they meet up be hot
and get off and lose by if you lose and you're hot then you lose you fucking
loser the fuck care about you scoring 70 and
losing Devin Booker was fucking
hot and he fucking scored 70 guaranteed a whole bunch of Boston players that would pick him well
no that one like I don't want to I bet I bet not I mean let's ask the chat who's the hottest
so the chat has a dark horse who's not included in this they're gonna pick Katie probably they
saying Kyrie okay okay I mean I like that one too. He wasn't on there though Yeah, boo's gives arena
Because you gonna get that any type of way so it don't matter. Yes, come on. You want it?
We get to hear right here. Just throw it right here. What's the difference Kyrie Kyrie and Dame?
What's the difference? Yes. Oh the concept of no thought one can shoot from 40 feet pulling up like I
Don't think that you there's only one. there's one person who don't have no concept
of score in time
My dame
Play don't have no concept of scoring time, but he has he's just gonna shoot. Yes. That's not as the ball. No matter
It does nothing with me. I mean somebody else is controlling when don't matter. Okay?
Let's just say you get to pass him the ball a hundred times.
It doesn't matter.
We're saying who don't you want to guard?
Because you got to come off those screens if you're guarding them.
And you got to come off the screens with Steph.
Look, I got Steph and Clay one and two.
Okay.
I mean, after that, you know, y'all can figure around with the mother two.
All right.
Go ahead.
What's yours? I told you.
Name is mine.
Gilbert Arena.
Gilbert Arena. What's the ones like? you. Name my mirror. Name is mine. Gilbert Arena. Gilbert Arena.
Who writes my checks?
My pick is Underdog Fantasy.
50 most dangerous is 40.
I mean.
Is there two different ones?
They got Steph.
Play Steph, Dame, Mello. Hold on. You got to just pick one.
Mello's nine. Dame's 15%. So right now, Steph is winning, Melo. Hold on, you got to just pick one. Melo's nine, Dame's 15%.
So right now, Steph is winning the initial vote.
I mean, because people like it.
If you win it, that's the hottest.
I feel like Steph is always hot.
It just makes sense.
And I'm a LeBron guy, so that means a lot for me to say.
I don't know how the credibility of the chat is supposed to be validated.
We're just merely telling you.
I love the chat.
It's basically an average. I fuck with the chat. It's an average. We're just merely telling you. I love the chat. It's basically an average.
I fuck with the chat.
It's an average.
You're getting everybody in there.
You're getting fans that are not smart.
You're getting fans that are smart.
You're getting haters.
You're getting lovers.
These fans, they all watch the same thing.
They all got two eyes, right?
They ain't stupid.
If you on the street.
If you on the street, though.
I ain't stupid.
I'm watching.
And you see somebody in the chat
and they say, what's up?
They're like, I'm from the Gills Arena chat.
Are you dapping them up?
You said what?
I had a guy.
You don't know if you're dapping them?
What am I doing right now?
What am I doing?
I'm minding my business.
I'm dapping them up in the chat.
I mean, anybody I see.
I'll give you this.
Anybody I see.
Give me up.
I hired a task rabbit to come.
I had, when I was finishing
the third floor of my house,
and I had boxes probably
covered this whole room,
just trash everywhere.
And I hired a task rabbit
to come just basically
take the trash and go.
Soon as he walked in,
he said,
I'm thinking he's talking about Brent,
you know, me being Brent's wife. As soon as he walked in, he was, I'm thinking he's talking about Brent, you know, me being Brent's wife.
As soon as he walked in, he was like,
you're from Gale's Arena.
I watched that show. I'd be in the chat.
I was like, oh, that's dope.
That was kind of dope. And I keep on hiring
him for all kinds of stuff now just because he said that.
Because I can go give anybody money
to do a job, but the fact that he watches
the show. So he goes out there and takes out the trash?
Huh? He goes out and takes out trash?
No, he's his job. He's a task rabbit.
Do you know what that is? No. So that's somebody you can
hire on an app to do whatever job you have.
Maybe you have like... Like a handyman. Handyman.
He's a handyman. A handyman. So I can hire
go on that app and pick anybody
as my handyman. You hired him to take out your trash?
Yes. And you
still had your golf club?
What does that have to do with anything? I'm just saying. I keep Yes. And you still had your golf club. What?
What does that have to do with anything? I'm just saying.
I keep hiring him now just because he watches the show.
I don't like that list.
They should put Kyrie and Katie in there.
It should be other people, yeah.
Like, it should be more than just those four.
Then we will argue more.
Because I think it changes.
I mean, Kyrie, if Kyrie gets hot,
I don't think nobody want to be on a highlight reel
with Kyrie getting hot.
That's scary.
Because you getting...
That's scary.
Oh, that, everything.
And Kate, the fact that Damis has so many different
back-to-back-to-back 60s, 50s, 50s, 50s, 40s,
and you're not even considering the niggas.
We are.
I'm absolutely considering them.
You know who else could get that?
Unbelievable.
You know who else could get that in this era right now?
If he was still playing, Monta Ellis could do what Dame doing.
No, he can't.
He don't have the range.
No, no, no.
What?
He don't have the shooting range.
No.
He don't need the shooting range.
He can score.
He can score, though.
But I'm saying, like, when you can shoot the ball,
it's actually a lot easier to get to the basket
versus we just sit in the lane with you.
So you don't think Monte can do the same thing
that he's doing today in this era?
Monte Ellis.
No.
We're putting up 40, 50 from the...
Pulling up from 40 feet?
From his nickname is what?
Something like that?
His nickname is Logo.
If Monte's playing in this era with the way they're playing now,
I think Monte could.
What? I think Monte could. What?
I think Brandon Roy could, too.
Mid-range middie?
It's just, I mean, I'm not going to stop shooting the mid-range.
I'm going to just get 40 off the mid-range.
What was it?
You said they could do the same thing.
How many jumpers was it?
A lot of jumpers.
I only shot eight free throws.
Now, so imagine, but now you see it because people want to play off you.
Like, we want to see if you can make these.
All right, cool.
This is easy.
I mean, okay, you're 60.
I had 27 free throws.
Okay, so what would you do today then in this area?
That would be 80.
That'd be like 70, 80.
Because, like, I mean, I would have had 60 if I would have scored at least five points in the first quarter.
It's really hard. I mean, it's just depending on how you wanna
I don't I just think this air is more like it's more space like for you to like
You know the shots that you were taking back then wasn't it was looked upon and then I was like so much you value to like
They have different styles different game
You know, I mean like everybody doesn't do the same things.
But they all are bucket getters, that's for sure.
When Steph and Dame are the only two guys, when they come across the half,
it's your ass.
Clay.
Clay, too, though.
When they come across half with the ball,
Clay, too, though.
If your ass is not pushed up on these two specific players,
they're going to shoot that bitch from Bangladesh. Clay, too, though. If yo ass is not pushed up on these two specific players, they're going to shoot that bitch from Bangladesh.
Clay too though.
Clay, he has to make you look somewhere else and he has to-
No, no, no.
He's not like, nah, I don't want to hear that, man.
Clay can do exactly what you said.
When he coming off that bitch and he like how Martell Webster used to get off when he
got that bitch, It's in there.
He's the similar type of player where it's like, nigga, you get that nigga and you leave him open.
It's automatic cash.
I agree 100%. He could come right down off a make, right?
And they could push it up to Clay and Clay's going to shoot that bitch from where he touches.
But that's what I'm saying.
But Steph and Dame, when you're a point guard and you're bringing that bitch up casually,
and you playing back like, all right, we about to guard this.
No, you're not about to guard.
Shit, I'm pulling.
What do you mean?
You don't have a chance.
You know who else got that type of mentality?
Jordan Poole.
With your ass.
Just getting, like, if he just comes down getting hot.
The reason I picked Klay is he's going to use the least amount of energy to score that's what I'm saying he just get off the rip right
here that's it shot he go like he's that's
dangerous or sissy without sweating the other one to go have to get this shit
off so I thought that's why I went with him first play okay that's that was
that's what the reason I went with him I mean I agree with I was going with Dame
that I had like clay burst vs. Steph shooting competition.
Who wins? Clay vs. Steph?
You say it? What is it?
A three-point competition? I don't know.
They both my boys. I've always considered
Clay a better, like... Pin on the boys.
Pin on the boys. Pin on the hot.
Cause general fans, everybody's gonna say Steph.
But the people you talk to that play with you...
He's automatic. Matt Barnes...
He's a machine. Mine is... I play with you, Matt Barnes, he's a machine.
Mine is...
I agree with you, though.
Mine is if they did 10 days of shooting, whoever can hold their concentration the longest.
Yeah, whoever's hot.
What if they did, let's say, like 30 shots?
That shit can be ugly.
No warm-up.
No warm-up.
I'm going Clay.
I'm going Clay. I'm going clay
I'm gonna step is I feel if you go off the dribble with that 100 in a row step foot dribbling
It's that made a hundred threes in a row. Yeah, I ain't saying clay can't do it. I'm sorry, but I
Don't know I
Wouldn't I would put like this I wouldn't be comfortable with my money on yeah anyone. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, I would I bet
As a fan, okay, I'm gonna watch this the one I'm paying to watch I'm not even paying for that one. I'm not I'm not
I mean I can add on this couch
Here you go, here you go shots 30 shots not me. I like myself. I like money like they said like me. Everybody like they said. I like me. I like me. I like myself too. I like me.
I mean, I know who the easy is to beat.
Who?
You.
The person who went, no, the person who went, was it 10 for 32?
Oh.
You going to take that?
You going to take that?
I like me.
You going to hold it?
I'll say, I like me.
10 for 32.
What you got to say?
Next.
I like me.
10 for 32.
When y'all shooting again?
Next.
I know it's 8 for 10, but I know what 10 for 32 looks like.
When y'all shooting again?
That room was janky.
Huh?
That room was janky.
I mean, it took him 22 shots to get warm.
When y'all shooting again?
When's the fade?
Zeke weekend.
We got to do it at Zeke weekend.
We got to do it at Zeke weekend.
I think what's fair is this.
We got to do it at Zeke weekend, man.
He took 22 shots to warm up to do his thing, but he finished 10 for 32.
If you give me 32 shots, I can beat no warm-up though. Yeah, I just know
We got to do it I think weekend telling you is there somewhere we could do it. Yeah Zeke weekend
We got the 32 shot. We got the we gonna show up early. We gonna show up early
We go be in there early. Let's get it before everybody comes. We were there.
He took 22 shots and got his little rhythm.
So if I go take 32 shots,
don't warm up,
the part of the 32,
do you think I can beat 10?
Gilbert Arenas?
Yeah.
You think I can beat 10?
Yes, I do.
Okay.
Do you think I can?
Because he only had 10.
And he has the crown.
Do you think I can beat 10?
The only thing is,
I don't know that he shot out to a to a brand over there
We're in like I was over there working out. No, but I'm Brandon. I'm disappointed
Sia what I do I'm disappointed
Cuz y'all are parading around and this little circus of going y'all got going on right again. I don't want to hear that
Yeah, that's what I want. I don't want it
Happening right now. What you guys are doing for the...
You got your...
What you guys are doing right now...
What you guys are doing for this guy right here,
validating his foolishness.
So, you were there.
You were not jumping on no fucking trampoline, Brandon.
You were not.
You were standing next to me.
You were standing... I was working outoline, Brandon. You were not. You were standing next to me. You were standing.
I was working out.
Josiah.
I was warming up.
Josiah, you were there.
I said we're nothing.
You were there.
I was trying out for the team.
Trev, you were there.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, niggas was there.
Niggas was watching because nobody else was doing it.
Trev was over there like this.
Nobody else was moving.
So the fact that niggas is over here like on Gilbert's.
No.
Like the fact that
Interjection and about there's always the interruption
Like like like he said, oh he went 10 for 32. He went all this warm-up shit
But he's never talking about how he only made one shot.
One warm-up. Your warm-up
you made.
This is what didn't happen.
He didn't just step on the floor and just
we started shooting. That
did not happen. No, you was taking
shots. That did not happen. So he's saying you warmed up.
Yes, he did warm up.
Was I taking shots? Yeah.
Brandon wouldn't be able to say yes or no if he was practicing.
Because I'm videotaping here.
If Brandon was practicing, he wouldn't be able to say.
I don't know.
So you took warm-up shots?
I was trying out with a team.
He took the warm-up shots.
All I'm saying is this.
And he kept saying, oh, he's scared to shoot.
He's scared to shoot.
I'm listening to you.
One, two, three.
I wasn't there.
I was so open.
I'm listening to you guys just sit here and be like, yeah, man, that shit wasn't fair.
Some janky rims.
I never said that. So all I'm going to say. Some janky rims. I never said that.
So all I'm going to say is this. Oh, my God.
If there was a Nerf rim, if there was a
wastebasket, I don't give a fuck if it's
circular and I got something to throw in it.
Nigga, I'm winning. Did you go
20 for 22? And all I know is this.
I don't need no fucking warm-up.
I don't want a fucking excuse.
I ain't got none. I
blasted this nigga. Okay, look.
Okay, cool.
So can we change the fucking subject already?
Can we keep bringing this same shit up for him to keep validating that the fact that you got warm-up shots and all this warm-up shit.
I don't want to fucking hear this shit no more, man.
It's the same thing you did.
Ten, one.
Okay.
You played four rounds.
Ten, one.
You played four rounds.
That's why I said let me give you.
You gave me a warm-up. He did not. I gave you. You played four rounds of golf.
You gave me a warm-up.
He did not. He shot 22 shots. Does Gilbert play
golf for a living? No. What does he do for a
living? Basketball. Okay. He shot 22
shots. Does Gilbert Arenas need
warm-up? I'm going to the rim.
I'm taking 32 shots
first.
No warm-up. I don't need a warm-up because he
didn't. First it was 22. First it was didn't first it was 22 22 then 10 first it was 12
then it was 22 now it's 32 your total shots and none of these niggas in here is talking about how
my stick was going I'm gonna go to my rim right we're not taking 32 shots we're not done with the
show yet y'all do the show we don't need to be done with the show put it on here put it on here
Let's go let's go I want to see
Y'all y'all killing me man. Oh, I got a beat shot killing. I gotta be 10. Let's go. I
Want to see it.
In his backyard where he warms up every day.
It's called witness.
This is what we do.
Hey.
Witness it.
You going to sit up and talk?
No, I'm about to watch it, witness it in person.
I can't believe y'all even entertaining this shit again.
I'm sipping wine.
And it's warm out here.
All I need is a cigar.
Try not to make the shit about me, but God damn it.
Y'all want to make it about me all the time.

and Gilbert is challenging Rashad.
Two for three.
This is a waste of time.
Three for four.
Look, as y'all can see, we got the cameraman out here filming this and everything.
Four for five.
So if he's doing this with his first five shots, why would he need a warm-up at the get-up?
Why would he need 32 warm-up shots?
This just doesn't make any sense.
Listen, don't put me...
It looks like he's doing pretty well right now in his own backyard.

I'm like, damn, where was that at?
How can you not?
Okay, listen.
Remember, no warm-up.
He just went up there.
Real talk.
You were supposed to be a great shooter, but you're trying not to account for the two for 22 you went when you were shooting.
What was the great shooter you're talking about?
Because I wasn't trying to shoot.
I wasn't trying.
The shit you was counting is because you were trying to say,
oh, look at my cans.
I'm like, my nigga, I'm just out here fucking around.
They said you went five for ten on your last ten.
Do you think you can go beat that?
I ain't trying to beat that.
I don't trying to beat that. I done already
beat him. This is what happens
when you lose and you want to try
to get your face back.
This is what happens. I mean, I would. If I was a shooter,
I'm taking that.
Five for 10, right now.
If you was a shooter,
you would take that.
You said you wanted to take the loser, right?
You said you was going to go against the loser.
No, no, no. When we competed, you were like,
I got the loser. So you go against him.

We played basketball. In the first half,
he's 2 for 22.
In the second half, he's 8 for 10.
All he wants to talk about is the
8 for 10. He don't want to talk about
being your
10 for fucking 32.
What counts, though? Does the first
half count or does the second half count?
In theory, no matter what your last 8 went,
in theory, you're 10 for
I'm 17 for 32. Nobody remembers
who lost.
I'm 17 for 32. No matter who lost. I'm 17 for 32.
No matter how you want to do it.
No matter how I want you to laugh. You're one for 10, nigga.
You're not 17 for 30.
You're one for 10.
Okay, can I get the other 22 shots then?

I'm just playing.
No, like, so it's this tape, too, and I want to get this tape.
Malik's story.
Your dad has this tape, Kenny's story.
He has this tape of me in the seventh grade, 13-year-old.
We won a national championship.
You know, we go AAU, you see everybody.
AAU, Memphis, Tennessee.
I think that was when I knew, like, that's when I first had my first article, my first, I signed my first autograph, but winning the national championship,
and I kind of took over the game, but it was just like, I just knew then, like, all right, like,
you know, like, this is something that I want to take serious, and I can really be good at it and
make money. You know, when you're young, you're just hooping, but like, that was just that moment
at seventh grade, winning the
national championship, and
that was just the moment of me like, yeah, I can
you know, like, yeah, this is
something I really want to pursue and become
make money off of it.
My shit was
Houston Rockets.
I was only playing second quarters, Dwayne Casey,
my rookie year. Dwayne Casey?
Dwayne fucking Casey. He didn't believe in playing rookies in the second half, right?
So I knew this.
We just traded Wally Zerbiak for Ricky Davis and Mark Blunt and Marcus Banks.
So it was their first game.
We were playing in Houston.
And I always knew I had second quarters to play.
But this was a game where I had been talking been talking about doing what doing um for his regiment trying
to like follow him but then like two weeks before that guy rex claimed me and pulled me to the side
like shawty we're gonna do our regiment we're gonna get you ready for your minutes when you're
in the game so for those two weeks i was preparing for just my minutes coming off sets, doing shit. And I scored 18 straight, 18 in the second quarter.
Everything from pin downs, post-ups.
That's why I said David Wesley, Luther Head, lunch meet, post-up, fadeaway, Kobe shit.
And it was like, that was the moment I was like 18 in the second.
And I didn't play the second half.
That's what I was going to ask you.
You feel like it was him? What? And he didn't play the second half? Didn't play I was going to ask you. You feel like it was him?
What?
And he didn't play the second half?
Didn't play me the second half.
And I think we lost that game.
But every game after that, my second quarters was 12 points, 14 points, 16 points.
And I was like, oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
I know I can hoop in this league.
And the people I was getting the points on, like, after a while,
they had to put TMAC on me because it was like, you know, I think it was Jeff Van Gundy
was the coach of Houston at the time.
He was like, what the fuck is going on out here?
He's fucking killing us.
And then I remember I had one possession with TMAC on me,
and it wasn't like he, like, stopped me or anything,
but that let me know.
I'm like, they had put TMAC on me.
It was like, yo, I knew, like, I had some game,
and I had prepared for that moment,
so it was like, that was my arrival,
my rookie year was my arrival.
For sure.
Good times.
Let's keep this moving.
Next question from Chris Lewis.
His underdog name is Ballhead Lou Will.
Yeah, that nigga $55 for that.
That's a dope name.
Hey, y'all got a good name.
We're going to talk to Underdog.
Y'all got a good name.
That makes it look like we got to get y'all some more bread.
But we're going to give you the 50 at least.
Don't come looking at it from me.
I ain't got it.
What did you do with your first NBA check?
My first one?
I gave it back to the agent.
Damn. To your agent yes why because I spit all my money before I got drafted oh dumbass yeah I bought my chain about the
fake chain and Obama escalate had the five TVs boom boom boom right so when my first NBA check came, yeah, that ain't yours no more. That's gone.
Wow.
It's different.
How much did you say?
Do you remember what you did with your first?
How did it come?
Direct deposit, paper you got to take to the bank?
Like, I always, like.
It was direct deposit to his.
So you didn't even see it?
Nah.
You couldn't frame it?
Nah.
I mean, to me, mine is different because I came out of high school and I'm pro in Italy
So I bought my mom a house with the first check. Yeah, it was like a lump sum not to be in your business pocket-watching
But like how do they do that over you like some well?
I mean I got money from the Italian team and then under armor
Okay, that's how I was able to be like 1.5 or 1.2 at that time
But I made sure my mom got a house
Was it a good thing what um no no i mean seriously
like because these are because like your first thing like as a young and when you get in the
league it's like yo buy my mom a house like bye but i feel like i should have bought myself
something first you know um you know i'm saying like at the end of the day like because i'm the
one that's you know making this decision and you know like, because I'm the one that's, you know, making this decision.
And, you know, like, you know, that doesn't mean that I don't love my mom or, like, you know, my family or I don't appreciate it.
It's just that, like, I think we get caught up in, like, okay, when I get this first check, I got to give it back to my family.
When it's like, well, you can get hurt next year.
And then, so it's like, you know, like, if I could have reversed it, I would have bought myself something.
Wait, does she still have the house?
No.
But that's probably why you feel like that.
Maybe?
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, that.
Just, and then, you know, like, I made people comfortable early in my life.
Like, at 18, 19, you know, so I'm 18, 19.
You know, I don't have a father figure.
Like, I'm trying to figure it out.
And, you know, your first thing is like, I got to do for my mom.
Like, you know, my mom is the reason why I'm here.
And it's like, well, yeah, but also, like, I'm the reason why I'm here.
You know what I'm saying?
So it's like, just for youngins, it's just like, you know, maybe you should buy yourself something first to make sure that you're stable.
Because you don't know you're stable because
you don't know what's gonna happen your career luckily I was able to play nine
years and 11 years and buy yourself the house and let her lease it from you at a
discounted rate just or just buy the house and then leave something for your
mom first and to that money is able to build up like you know about I think you
should take care of yourself first my My shit is a little bit different.
Like I tell y'all motherfuckers, I'm different, man.
I got robbed my first check.
Peggy Williams. I heard about that.
Peggy Williams.
No, I watched a documentary on Dennis Rodman and I saw him.
Yeah, it was, you know, she finagled me to become my financial advisor.
I gave a black woman an opportunity because I wanted to do the whole empowerment shit.
And we believed in that as a family.
the story is kind of crazy because
how I found out about it was
weird. I was getting
Ricky Hayes by KG bringing the donuts in
and one day I couldn't bring the donuts
in because my account was
zero. And
this is before I had got paid.
So I went in the locker room and I had a ticket.
He's like, what the fuck them fucking,
what the fuck are donuts at, motherfucker?
I was like, man, I ain't got no bread.
He's like, what the fuck you mean?
You an NBA player, you ain't got no goddamn bread.
I ain't got no bread.
So he was pissed at me.
Whole practice wouldn't talk to me, none of this shit.
And I told him, I'm like, man, I got robbed, bro.
My financial advisor took all my bread. She set up up a trust she did all this shit with our bread came in woo me and my mom and all us
believed on all this family shit and it was about three
350 something like that 350 400 and
I remember just getting the call
Like yeah, man
Peggy goddess my agent Jeff Schwartz
told us like me God like what the fuck you mean she got us she got us now for
those who ever seen the doc I mean great a great with the Ricky Williams but in
still alive yeah she in jail but she isn't they didn't have me in the dock
because I refused to be a part of we have pictures of him and because they
weren't gonna pay me they gonna get paid off of the doc, but they weren't going to pay me for it.
So I was just like, it's cool.
But there's an episode on American Greed.
Talk about it.
I was on that shit.
But, I mean, my first check, I didn't get to do shit with my first check.
You know what I'm saying?
I was in debt my first check.
So Ticket gave me a little loan to keep me afloat for a little bit.
And that's why I always mention him as my vet as you know somebody who gave me a lot of
grace um but when it come down to that first check and being finagled for money and being picked 14th
supposed to be picked higher and David Stern I had to tap that nigga on his shoulder he wasn't
paying attention made the first mistake he ever made in the draft in 20 years. What did you like my story?
goes beyond you know
I got picked 14th and
David Stern made a mistake and didn't shake my hand when I came on stage
What do you mean he didn't shake your hand? He was looking over to the motherfucker. He was just where were you?
I was on stage. I think I had to tap. I had to tap him on the shoulder like yo, what's up, my nigga?
It's my time
This is my day. What are you doing?
Yeah, yeah the turnaround shake my hand. Why was he looking somewhere else? It's my moment
He never fucked up before and never fucked up again after that
So, you know for that and then for me to get robbed and then for me to you know
Go through the shit that I went through in Minnesota and all that shit, I persevere.
That's why I wear the crown.
You know what I'm saying?
It's a symbol of perseverance.
It's a symbol of going through the bottom, rising to the fucking top.
So niggas can't take this shit off my head.
All right, so you went through all that, right?
So what is your perspective now in life?
You know what I'm saying?
You caught a couple L's.
We all catch some L's, right?
We all have it.
Right?
So, like, what is your perspective now?
Like, you know what I'm saying?
Like, how do you view life now and where you're at now in life?
It's all about mentorship and giving back, you know, with the wisdom and knowledge that I have to have it all, to lose it all, to be able to say, damn, I know the mistakes I made and the people I learned from going up,
seeing the shit that's happening,
and be able to say, well, if I'm not an example
of what it is to lose, what it is to survive, right?
I can be around motherfuckers like Gil,
who's always been a beacon of respect.
We look up to the niggas like him.
And for me to be sitting on the couch next to niggas like y'all who's done what y'all have done.
But for me to survive, I've always wanted to just be the example.
Like, yo, you can still wear a crown.
You can still have confidence.
And you can still be a survivor.
You ain't got to be at the top of the top of the top, man.
You can still be the nigga that can walk in a room
full of motherfuckers with billions of dollars, and they
look at you like...
Yeah, make them uncomfortable. Yeah, yeah.
Are you shining? Are you doing...
You would never know, my nigga, because I never
lost that shine. I never lost that glow.
And I want to tell those youngins
it doesn't matter
failure or
not being accepted or being picked on a bully.
You still got to stretch.
You got to stretch.
So do you want more?
Or, like, so I heard you, like, when Gil was talking about, like, the money situation, right?
Like, losing all the money.
And you were saying, like, you don't need all this money and this and that, boom, boom, boom.
Like, so say, like, you do get $10 million, whatever.
Would you want more or are you content with life?
You know what I'm saying?
Because me, I feel like you always want more, right?
And I always want more.
I don't feel like there's no limit.
I feel like if whatever God is showing me,
that means he's making me to the best ability that I can be, right?
So if a certain amount of money or anything success makes you, like,
will make you content and feel like, all right, I'm cool and I don't have to do much?
Or will you want more?
That's a good question because I've learned to have and appreciate the abundance
that I've grown without things to not have to depend on money
to be the thing that makes me feel like I'm more.
I was able to dig deep inside of myself and be like, yo, if I know my worth and I know who I am, the money is a bonus.
If I was to come up and get 20, 50, 50, $60 million, like I wouldn't know what to do with
that shit immediately. I would go back and help motherfuckers who have ideas, who've never got a
second chance, third chance. Like it's not about me going to live a life ideas who've never got a second chance third chance like it's not about me
going to live a life that i've never lived before like i feel like during my 20s i've done shit
around big time motherfuckers that i don't really need it so i can now live and say all right i have
an abundance inside so all that other shit fame and to me. But these young kids has never experienced luxury.
I like to take them on a trip and show them what it is to feel like on a G5 jet,
what it feels like to live in or stay in a five-star hotel, to eat luxury food.
That's the type of shit that I would like to do with my money.
That's why I say when y'all ask the billion-dollar question, all that shit,
it's like I want value because I know know that like a william wesley taught
me the most important thing is your value he was moving around without having money to do it and he
was like these niggas owe me so wherever i want to go stay in this hotel i want to ride in this car
i don't got to pay shit it's already there sitting for me is marriage important to y'all
don't ask gilbert that question no i, I'm not. I'm asking to...
Don't fucking ask somebody
because you said you value, right?
You value certain things, right?
Money, right?
Billion dollars.
So, like, is marriage important to you
for value?
I mean, that's a whole different conversation
because it's like companionship
is something that everyone needs.
You know what I'm saying?
And if a value system
based on somebody
that's, you know,
your significant other
can help you be
a more valuable person,
it should be.
Marriage should be that.
But I don't think
that the concept
of marriage itself
is a value system.
I just think that
two people being able
to trust each other.
Union.
Yeah, like,
I don't think it's
so much about marriage.
Why did God put us
on this earth
with man and woman, then,
if marriage isn't... I don't think the word marriage is did God put us on this earth with man and woman then if marriage isn't I don't think the word marriage is
important it's more about the Union because like the government being in
your business has nothing to do with what type of it's not about it's not
about the government it's more about like finding your purpose and your
partner so why would you need to sign a piece of paper from the government to
find your purpose in your it's not even about sign a piece of paper it's not
about I'm just saying on this earth on this earth that I'm living,
I need to find a partner to make me better.
Right. Yeah, that's not a marriage though.
And it definitely needs to be a woman for me.
So it's like,
like, I'm just saying.
I get it. I understand.
You know?
Don't get it twisted.
So I just feel like if I got,
if I became a billionaire, if I became all this money, I would need a partner to help me, you know, understand different values like praying together.
Like, I want to hear my partner pray.
Like, I feel like that's a big thing to me to hear what she's praying for.
Because I know that we're safe and whatever she's praying for will help us.
Know her intentions.
Yeah, her intentions. Yeah, like, you know, we're being,
you got to find somebody that's,
what they call it?
Equally yoked, is what they call it.
Yeah, you know?
And we're just getting older.
Like, I'm getting older.
I'm 33.
Like, I want to be married when I'm 35.
So it's like, you know, I'm looking for that,
I'm looking for that next chapter.
I want to break the curse.
I want to break the, you know,
I don't see marriage in my family. I only see marriage from
my girl.
She's teaching me.
I'm loving life right now.
That's why I'm just asking.
That's a blessing.
I'm loving life because I'm seeing something different.
I'm not in the NBA. I'm not the
star.
That's why I just asked you. I'm enjoying life too like I don't have like, you know, but I'm just that's why I just asked you because
I'm just I'm enjoying life too because it introduced me to so much different things in life now
This is a he finna say something Gilbert. Don't ruin this moment. Okay, go ahead
Go ahead or they don't mess up. What's wrong with you? You know why you whoop them in sports? I'm glad you added that in sports.
You know what I mean?
You just whoop them in sports.
I'm glad you added that in sports.
Thank you, because that's sharing the shit.
Okay, Mike Turner.
See your ass straightened up, though.
Didn't you see his ass straightened up?
So before you met your girl, right?
Yeah.
That question women always ask men, right?
What do you see in me?
What do you...
Like, you know that concept of...
Yeah.
Does it match now on what you was thinking then?
Or did she show you her value?
I think I had to understand my values.
Like I had to get closer spiritually.
I was out here wilding out.
I got three baby mamas.
I was wild, young.
Couldn't nobody tell me nothing because I was who I was.
But once I got out of the league and I visited and I went to China,
I started my brand, Tough Crowd, I wanted to start changing my circle.
I wanted to start changing everything around me,
and I needed somebody that was compatible with me, that understood understood that think like me or that had the same type of mindset
It wasn't about her having all the money
It was just you know
My girl got more connections than me and it's like and I'm seeing that through my brand and where I'm headed
Like with my brand my brand took me from all right. We're gonna sit in here in this house
We're gonna try to figure it out to my girl walk in boom. Oh, I can put it on this and that person, boom, boom, boom.
So she was teaching me, showing me a value that I've never saw. I'm the breadwinner. I was always
the breadwinner. But now I have somebody that can show me different ways of making money when I
could just sit back and just chill. Minister Farrakhan said a man isn't a man until a woman makes him a man.
And that's what I was getting with because when girls ask that question of like, what's your intentions with me?
I don't know.
That's a stupid question.
It's a dumb question.
It's not a dumb question.
It's a dumb question.
It's not dumb.
Because what were the intentions when they first met?
You don't know. No, you don't know
You're gonna show me what my intentions are when she asked you that question. She met you first meter
Yeah, I'll ask for me but but but but also for the woman that like you watch you
Yeah, like like a woman that like she's gonna watch me. She's gonna watch certain things
She gonna figure out where she can help you what she can add value to your life. So where is my compliment?
Yeah, like my girl. Yeah, so what the intentions are I don't have no intentions. I have none you're gonna have to show me
Your woman you're asking you because we coming from a different point soon as they ask that question
I'm like, I don't know fucking attention at all
But when a woman asks you that.
When a woman asks a man that, it's a dumb.
Are you honest, though?
Are you honest?
No.
You're not honest?
No.
No man can be honest because it's a dumb question.
You can be honest.
You want me to lie.
My intention is I want to be in a relationship.
No, you can be honest.
They want to hear what they want to hear.
How?
You can say, I just want to fuck right now.
That's not the answer.
Yeah, so be honest. That is not intention. That is an intention. You can say I just want to fuck right now
I don't want to marry you but three weeks with you now I want to marry you
He wouldn't know three we this is the
Are you sure are you done?
Your intention will change the problem is you have men up here.
You're asking a question to men.
I don't give a fuck if you don't like it.
We're giving you the answer.
I said you can be honest still.
We don't know the honesty of it. You do know the honesty of that moment.
We don't know because you're...
At that moment...
I don't know who you are to give your answer.
Exactly.
I don't know who you are.
That's an honest answer.
You're asking men.
That's an honest answer. Won't asking men. That's an honest answer.
Won't you listen?
That's an honest answer.
Hey, hey.
The answer is.
That's what they call red pill.
And they wonder why they have a problem with this because they don't want to listen to you.
They don't listen.
You don't want to listen to me.
The answer is I don't know if that's what the answer is.
No, the answer is whatever I give.
It ain't the answer that you give.
It ain't the answer you give.
He just said he don't know.
But he can say I don't know.
I can say something different.
No, I'm saying his answer.
I can say something different.
His answer was I don't know.
No one knows.
My girl made my plea.
No, you cannot know.
No man knows.
Come on, bro.
What my intentions are with you, who are you?
I cannot.
So American asked me what my intentions are for him.
American asked me what my intentions are.
And what your answer is is your answer.
Whatever my answer is,
I can still be honest.
If we're all thinking
the same thing,
right?
Your answer can be...
How can you argue?
You can't.
How can you argue?
You can't interject.
You can't argue.
You can only listen.
You can only listen.
I'm saying to you,
there is an answer.
There isn't.
There is an answer.
He's just telling you that it's not an answer.
How can you tell me that it is?
No matter what you say, you're trying to...
I just feel like, all right, I just feel like it's an art form of knowing women.
Thank you.
Right?
That's all I'm saying.
Art form of knowing women?
There's an art form?
You don't know what I'm getting.
There's an art form to knowing men also.
Yeah, but you don't know.
No, for sure.
It is.
You saying to someone, you meet a woman, right? You meet
a woman. Doesn't matter
what your intentions are a month from now.
You have an intention on that day?
It is not just to fuck,
Nico. I didn't say that was. I said if that's
your intention, just say it.
I say what? Whatever it is.
What is your intention? If you don't know the intention.
How come you can say that?
That's what he just said. He said I say it. I don't know. This is like going to the game and you ask me how much you're going to score. I don't know the intention. How come you can say that? That's what he just said. He said, I say this.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
You asked me how much you're going to score.
I don't fucking know.
I don't fucking know.
I don't know.
You can say that.
I don't know.
I'm not supposed to know.
You can say that.
The end result lets you know.
I can have my intentions to say, I just want to fuck you today when I marry you.
That doesn't mean that's not the intention today.
I'm just giving you an answer.
Okay, that's it.
The answer is a lie.
Yeah.
Because the result, the result is the actual answer.
Yes.
No, it's not.
It is.
No, it's not.
It actually is.
Am I right?
I can meet a guy.
There's a man.
He's telling you.
I'm telling you yes.
He's telling you yes.
On the other side, let me give you an example.
A man can meet me and say, what are your intentions in dating me?
And I can say, right now, I just want to see if you have a big dick and if you eat pussy.
I can say that right now.
I can say that.
And then let's say we fucked that night.
He eats pussy well.
He treats me like I want to be treated.
30 days later, I have more intentions for you now.
That can change is all I'm saying.
You can be honest about what you want right now.
Have you noticed men don't ask you that?
Have you not noticed that?
I'm not going to front though. If a chick asks me
how I'm eating my dick, I'm going to be
like, yo, this is a one-time thing.
But what I'm thinking...
Yes, you can say that.
Nico, are you not listening to the concept?
I am listening to you. There's no man has asked a woman what your intentions are with me.
It's a woman asking a man.
That's not true.
We're giving you the answer.
I don't fucking know all of our answers to things.
You can't just, the same way you can't say.
And it wasn't why women have problems with men.
No, we don't have problems with men.
We have problems with boys.
You force us to lie.
We have problems with boys.
What's your intentions?
Oh, my intentions are to, oh, did you make a mistake?
We have problems with little boys. That's the you make a point? We have problems with little
boys. That's the problem.
Let's see them next week.
Let's see our little boys. Go ahead, Josiah.
