I thought they were going to get a little crazy or pause but it was fun. Listen, somebody up next, let's come up there. I'll bring Savage back out. I don't know if he got a reason for it. He can't come out all the time though.

Now I appreciate it. Thank you man. But yeah, Savage come out. I was Randy Savage for like three Halloweens in my life.

I was a ninja when I came to Fortnite. And I was Randy Savage with the towel as the cape. Well, that was great. In the comments down below, make sure you guys let us know who y'all want Savage to speak to next. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's a good one, Stax. Find out where Russell at.

I need to holla at and I have a talk with him. Yeah, we need toughest of the tough, but. But shout out to the street properties for coming through, man. It was man loving. We rooting for y'all tonight, man. Definitely, man. We fuck with y'all. We the street properties for coming through man it was man loving yeah we rooting for y'all tonight man definitely man we folk with y'all we appreciate y'all coming through okay y'all know they say they young niggas too though uh no that's this is my favorite guys but i knew well from um from uh angelo he follows me on twitter. So I had already my guys man. Appreciate th

know, those my guys now. my little, I'm gonna take wrestling, wrestling show in person. That's what's gonna start with Aaron Ro a free agent and we got some insight on his current situation via the internet. So he said, Mereedam,

I had a lot of great conversations with a lot of teams. Not one of those was the Jets because that wasn't a great conversation, but I'm open to anything and attached to nothing. So yeah, retirement could still be a possibility, but right now my focus is on my personal life. He also spoke on the conversation he had in the midst of his exit with the Jets. He spoke with Aaron Glenn and Aaron Glenn actually questioned whether Rogers still

desired to play, then eventually informed him the Jets were going to move in a different direction. So Marie's gonna let you go first. Do you feel like Aaron Rogers has been handled with a sense of disrespect? And then how do you feel about him focusing his energy more in his personal life? I don't know if you call it a respect for disrespect, you know, and it just all comes down to how you view it. You know, when Aaron Rodgers was talking to Pat McAfee, he said that the gentleman Aaron Glenn called him out from California to just inform him in person that they were moving on from him. But he was telling him, hey, I wanted to tell you to your face and talk about how you deliver a

message. And maybe he could have called and said it to him over the phone. But to me, it sounds like Coach Glenn was doing what he thought was right. And he wanted Aaron to have a fair shot at talking about how he was released from the team. And then from Aaron's perspective, he's like, yo, nigga, you could have told me this shit when I was in California. And so we always talk about it. Two things could be right at the same time. Both people from their perspectives could be right.

And so with this whole Aaron Rodgers thing, I think it's like anything. In a moment, everything is cool, is funny, is laugh, is jokes, is I'm trying to basically be a media celebrity and I'm trying to go out here and perform. But I think Aaron Rodgers comes from the era where he actually cares about how he finishes the game. I know we talked a lot about Russell Westbrook or just other players and how they get bounced around and they become journeymen. And I think when he stepped away and he wasn't on Pat McAfee and he wasn't on national TV that he said, Hey man, I don't want to be remembered like that. And you know, when you have money and you get back to why you did something in the first

place, it came from the passion, the love and just how you represented yourself. And I don't think that Aaron Rodgers wants to end his career going out the way he went with the Jets. And so I think if you look at his body language on Pat McAfee, he looked a lot more humble. He looked a lot more sensible. And he's like, yo bro, this ain't really about no money or no bread. I just want my name back. And I think everybody at some point can, at the end of their career can say that like,

hey man, all you wanted your basic respect and you leave on like an honorable note. So that's what I thought about that whole deal. Yeah, that was a great take. And when you talk about stat, about how do we feel about it? How do we feel about Aaron Rodgers right now and his particular position is that he's saying all of the right things and he's saying the right things to A, hold his position so that he can retire or play with the right team that he wants to go to. So he's keeping his options open, but he's also addressing things that make people feel

like they need him on a team, which is to say things like, I don't want to go out like this or, or he's, he's passionate about the game. And, and he's saying all of the right things to let you know, he's still, he still wants to play, but he's, he's not going to play anywhere. If you read between the lines, that's what he's basically saying. He's not going to play anywhere and he's not going to play for just any amount. He didn't sound like Kaepernick when Kaepernick was trying to get back in the league, he sounded like somebody that still understands he had great value and

he can add value to a lot of teams. But it doesn't seem like he's as humble yet as the NFL owners would like him to be, you know, or else he would be on a team right now. You know, when killer always says something like when, if you're good enough, they'll find a way. They haven't found a way yet. So at this point, they don't think he's good enough.

They're looking to see what other teams do. They're looking to see what other quarterbacks are available. And I believe he definitely will land on a team, but this is that part of the career that most people hate no matter what genre you're in, no matter what business you're in at the tail end, that you understand what you've done to the game and the game does not remember that. They're like, right now, this is where you are right now. This is what I'm paying you.

And right now, this is how I'm going to handle you unless you pull out one of those performances, pause from your heyday. And that's what he's going to have to do. And I think that's great for Aaron Rodgers, cause it's going to bring out the best Aaron Rodgers and he's gonna have to play Like he got Paul's fire under his helmet Let me ask you a question mo Because Mason made some great points I was a great take but what I want to know was is it more about

Aaron Rodgers not being wanted an Aaron Rodgers just holding niggas up and not telling them what they want, what they want, what he wants to do just yet? I think it's people just don't want them. I honestly think, yeah, just like, you know, so when you're an owner of a team, you want the guys, you want to have some level of control over dudes, you know what I'm saying? And you want the person who's in your locker room to be totally committed to that. And if you get a younger dude in there for a lot less money, who has a lot less personality, who feel like he has to prove himself, he's not worried about going on Pat McAfee.

He's not worried about being a celebrity. He's not worried about like, when you actually look at Aaron Rodgers' handle under the Pat McAfee show, it was a and I know I'm a must this word of Oshkow expert or whatever it was, right? Like you're known for all these other things or all these other things are important. And so if you if you got somebody like if you got somebody who's just committed to football, like that's the dude you want to invest your money to because they're not distracted. So I think like when Aaron Glenn looks at Aaron Rodgers, he's saying that, and I think a lot of coaches feel this way,

you're not living, dying and breathing. And it's saying how you feed yourself. So you're not going to give me what I need out of this. And I think that's where people are coming from. That's just my opinion. Right. Now that's what I'm genuinely asking because I know that Pittsburgh was interested in him and I know it was some talks about Minnesota, but I haven't heard much outside of that. I haven't, you know, I'm not gonna say act like I've been watching the Aaron Rogers story the fucking last two months. So I didn't know if any other teams besides those two teams even wanted him. And this goes back to a little bit about, uh, what we said the other day about attitudes and, and, and the way you carry yourself when you're pushing your head

coach off, off you after he's trying to embrace you for, you know, basically scoring a touchdown, uh, when you're sitting there saying you want this person on the team, etc. All this stuff that, and like you said, his personality might be bigger than the team. And this goes back to something, I don't know if we're talking about this today, just let me know for y'all because like I said, I don't really even like looking at the topics with most of them. I just like to, you know, because this isn't about stats or anything else. I like to give my honest opinion without thinking about it. But this goes back to something similar the other day

when we were talking about the kid that's leaving Tennessee. Are we talking about that today or no? Yeah, we'll make some weeks to have it. Yeah, well, maybe we can lead into this. But anyway, what I was gonna say is the kid in Tennessee is still in college and he's holding out. He held out, won it 4 million, was getting 2 million,

and now getting 1.75 million at UCLA, if I'm not mistaken. Correct. He's building up an Aaron Rodgers scenario from college. When you get to, you got to have to perform half the perform bro you doing this in college but time if you're halfway decent and NFL they not dealing with that you got to be Aaron Rodgers and his prime or Tom Brady and Tom Brady never acted like this but this is what I'm trying to say when you get this

reputation when you get this reputation this is what happens when it doesn't matter how good you used to be. Because they're waiting for you to have the season you had last year because they want you been giving niggas their ass to kiss. They even got the season you just had. They like, might be over. You ain't Tom Brady. You can't play team 44 and all that nigga. You ain't one of them niggas. Take what we give you. Go about your business. Now to the last, my last point is the part he was talking about when flying across the country, for them to tell him that he is not gonna play

for them anymore. It's two sides to look at that. I wouldn't wanna be flown across the country. Aaron Rodgers, I agree with him. Me personally, is when he said, you could have told me that show on the phone. I remember LeBron made Pat Riley fly to LA to see if he's gonna sign with the heat then they get told I'm not good. I'm going to the Lakers or

back to whatever the fuck you were back to Cleveland or whatever. So then, but he made a flight to the other side of the country and back and niggas be doing shit out of spite a lot of time So I don't know if this was revenge for making a fly back or whatever But situations like that you ain't never gonna win beat it just say because this will happen If I just did fly over there and they told me on the phone Nigga would have been like they got the heart to tell me face to face. Face to face. Yeah.

You're never gonna win in that situation. So if you tell me, if you go there, you could have told me down the phone. So either way you lose. Me, you could have told me down the phone. So me, 10 hours of flying back and forth, private or not. And that's basically what I take from that, man. I was getting information from y'all to be honest with you, to see if anybody wants to be on the phone with me.

And I was like, I'm not gonna do that. I'm not gonna do that. I'm not gonna do that. I'm not gonna do that. I'm not gonna do that. I'm not gonna do that. I'm not gonna do that. I'm not gonna do that.

I'm not gonna do that. I'm not gonna do that. I'm not gonna do that. I'm not gonna do that. I'm not gonna do that. I'm not. And that's basically what I take from that, man. I always get information from y'all, to be honest with you, to see if anybody want to n***a decide the two teams that I made. Yeah, they probably flew the n***a to the West Coast killer.

And then when he got over there, you flew some ice wind and you'd be like, yeah, this n***a attitude, I'm not going to deal with this. You know, I'm going to give it one last chance to make sure it's not me. And then he'd get off the plane. Where's his coffee at and all that. Yeah. We're going to let them go.

I'm going to tell you, you made a great point. Uh, I totally forgot about when he pushed the coach. And sometimes people don't like people like to be selective about what consequences they want to deal with. And you may not deal with the direct consequence of that moment from doing some bullshit. But somebody remember that you push the coach. And you may have coaches who may feel like the day in the fraternity. And you dog my nigga, you know, you should have

done my nigga on national TV. achieving. And so we get in our get back and you don't really have that discretion. And so that was a great point. I totally forgot that he had pushed the dude off and this may be, hey, call him out here and waste his fucking time. He did it for us. Yeah. And not to say the player name that choked the coach, but they hold on to that. They're like, okay, I'm gonna remember that. We're not gonna deal with that today. We ain't gonna deal with it when you wanna deal with it.

When it's time to do the deal again, fly them out here, fly them out here. I wanna talk to them. He did this to my own boy and he don't know that's my homeboy. Yeah, yeah. We're going to deal with him. I got something for him. Yeah.

And then you call the nigga when you're about to do it. Yeah, yeah. You know Aaron is on his way out here, right? I got it. Yeah, I got it. Could you put it on speaker for me? Yeah, I got it. Yeah, I got it. Could you put it on speaker for me? Yeah, record it.

Oh yeah, we're gonna be meeting in the club lounge. You'll get the video. Thanks, I owe you one, Bob. Thanks. So let's actually combine the two because Cam brings up both good points. So for people who are a little confused, so Nico Imalieva, he was a quarterback at Tennessee. Him and his team wanted double the NIL price that he was originally getting. So originally he was getting 2 million.

They wanted 4 million. Basically they decided to part ways. He gets picked up by UCLA and to Cam's point, he gets about $1.7 million reported. So when thinking about him and then Aaron Rodgers situation, do you guys feel like being a humble star equates to better success overall in sports? Maurice? All right. That's two.

Well, I'll answer your question. But I think that there's two different scenarios. Um, I think the Nico situation is a little bit tricky because the college system doesn't have a market set. Right. And what I mean by that is that you don't have an environment where you can say, Hey, last year at this position, they pay quarterbacks X, right? And then this year, you know, if you're leading by stats, we're going to pay 10%

more, 20% more stone or so whatever. Right. And then you all, you obviously don't have a professional, the same professional representation. So a lot of people who don't know some of these kids, parents represent them. Some of these kids, friends represent them. Some of these kids, uh, advisors from AAU who just gave you a bunch of money. They represent you.

And so you just don't have the same plan field. And the way I categorize the NICO situation is he should had never been in that situation had the NCAA took action and create an environment to basically dictate the market. And what happened was is that he probably had his father, family, or whoever, just give him some advice and he just wasn't leveraged for it. So I'll, I'll speak to that just because I wanted to give that facts out to the public. Right. But, um, for what all this stuff's that when it comes to Nico,

or when it comes to Aaron Rogers, all this shit is a business and business is a system, right? And when they're creating profiles of who they want to give money to, how they want to give money to them, who they want to advertise, who they want to put in front of the public, there's a profile. And no matter who the fuck you are. And when you start functioning outside of the profile and we can advertise the people, you start doing your own thing, we basically have to put you in your place rather than you, Nico, when you were Samoan. I think he's of Samoan descent. If he's not, you know doing your own thing, we basically have to put you in your place rather than you Nico when you are Samoan.

I think he's a Samoan descent. If he's not, you know, my no offense to him. If you white, if you black, it don't matter. It's a business. And so I don't want to say it's humble, but success looks a certain way and it has to operate a certain way. And that's what I think happens to most guys. Be it you white, you black or whatever, you function outside of the system that somebody's created in order for you to be successful.

And so the old school way of saying it is like play the game until you get the leverage to do what you want. And I think that's what's happening with Nico and obviously I think that's what happened with Aaron Rodgers. Yeah. He definitely thought he had the leverage. Is it correct stat that you just stated that he was getting two million he had an agreed contract for two million at at Tennessee and he goes to

UCLA and now he's getting 1.7 right so is that 1.7 more or 1.7? 1.7. In total that's the report he's gonna make less than that first year. Yeah, so he's going to make less. But who knows? He may feel like 1.7 in California is a better look than 2 million in the middle of Tennessee, but that's going to be his situation. But like we were talking about earlier, all of this type of persona, when you're dealing with big corporations and big institutions, that's sometimes that's bigger

than corporations, institutions. You have these institutions because they're working behind the scenes. They're working in nonprofit status. They're working in areas that you don't even see yet, you know? So this is not where you want somebody to be hating on you at. And I think he's created a lot of hate with a lot of strong people that if he doesn't perform like out of this world, it will come back to be one of those worst than Aaron Rodgers situations.

Because these are people that are on the phone with other people, even when you go to get drafted, people are going to want to know what would the coach back in Tennessee say? What would the athletic director say? And these people are going to have a say in it. It's not going to be statements that are in his favor. So he's going to have to ball out under control. So when you ask, should a guy be humble and how that's going to plan to his career?

I believe you definitely have to be humble. Even if you're confident about yourself, you got to know who to be arrogant with. You got to know where to show your confidence. And we've seen it over and over again from the greatest of athletes, from the Tyrell Owens to the, who else was that, with the blonde hair on top, paws, other black seat, black fade, Beckham, right? All of the flamboyant, super athletic players, when they're too arrogant, it always comes back to their demise. And these are no shot at these people.

These are all phenomenal athletes, phenomenal talents, but the list will go on. We could probably name about 70 guys that just their personality played into the fact of why they didn't get certain things laid on in life. So when you say a career, it could have turned into broadcasting. It could have turned into movies. But remember that phone call is still being made behind your back. No, no, just like, you know, I wouldn't say his name, but a guy who used to coach can't seem to get a coaching job

because that call is still being made behind the scenes. They call it black ball or pause blacklisted when somebody's just making that call. No. Well, it's been 12 years. 13, 14. You like when is this ever going to change? 15. You think you did all of this for what? It actually hurts you and your family in the long run.

So I wouldn't do it. You know what's crazy is that, I don't know if people are familiar with the story of white boy Rick up there in Detroit. And he tried to get the feds to lock the police up. The chief of police, I believe his title was in Detroit because they were doing illegal shit supposedly or whatever. And he got the feds involved to basically do investigate them niggas and try and charge them niggas. But to make a long story short, the chief won. He didn't get locked up.

And white boy Rick was still in jail. And it was up to him to get out of jail. And he never got out of jail until that nigga died. It was niggas who was getting off for murder like now they need to let Rick out. They need to let deny like, come on now I did I caught three bodies. Bricks is working for y'all niggas he's still in jail. But that goes to your point, Mason. The niggas make behind the scenes. It's like, come on. He did 27. He only had three ounces.

Give him another year. So 100%. What I will say about the topic is this. Look, first of all, fire whoever the fuck is working that deal out for you. Your father, your agents, I don't know who the fuck it is. Fire them niggas first and foremost. Cause first of all, you going to get 1.7, he really even getting 2.2, he's getting 1.75. So he's getting close to $500,000 less. In the state of California where the taxes is crazy. Yo bro, you're not going to even have like 700,000 when it's all over. You're going to stay in Tennessee and motherfucking and probably

kept about 60, 70 percent of your shit at a 2.2. Now you're gonna get taxed, crazy. So you're not even gonna make it. You probably make a million, maybe. Maybe. They do all types of shit in LA. Work in tax, this tax. As I do a show in LA, it's seven different taxes, I'm looking at my check. Is it supposed to be 100, shit motherfucking, turned out 69, wait a minute, I'm not signing off on that. I signed 100, we'll figure it out later. You know what I'm saying?

The whole point is, that was stupid, that's first and foremost. Secondly, let's not act like he wanted to leave. The nigga motherfucking basically stuck a gun up to Tennessee and said, yo, Homeboy just gone from Georgia just got four million, I'm better than him. He just left and got four, I need four. Tennessee said, nobody's bigger than the program.

Pack your bags and we wish you luck he didn't really think they was going to do that yeah yeah correct yeah he didn't plan on that he's like it's really kicking me out so now you're scrambling you throw the ucla not paying attention to the taxes and he looks the shit whoever is fine i'm gonna tell you something it was a time you know a mace remember. Mace asked me, he was getting fed up with management and everything. You know, he just fucking, I don't know if his eye

was about to come out, whatever, because he was popping a little before his arm came out. And he was like, Cam, you might as well just manage me. I'm like, I don't know what the fuck to do. I don't know what's going on. Dude, I don't know what's going on. I'm starting to feel around. You need Benny Medina, one of them niggas. You know what I'm saying?

You think about this, right? You think about this, right? You think about Maverick. You think about Rich Paul or whoever under, I'm not going to say under, partners with LeBron James, right? Them niggas was hanging out with LeBron, scheming on Leon Rose, who was doing LeBron shit for two years, going in the meetings with him,

learning everything he doing. Oh, he doing, that's how he choked a Pepsi. Hey man, let me get your number, guy, I'm LeBron man. Yo, going in the Gatorade. Let me get your number, man. Getting all the data, getting all the information, two and a half years later, finally on the road, them niggas learned what to do and then they became the businessmen that they are today.

They didn't just jump in there like, yo, we gonna do this, we gonna do this, it took them time to learn and they quick learning and them niggas hustling so that shit worked out quick. But they didn't just jump in there, niggas just think they can do anything. It's gonna cost the kid some money in the beginning. He ought to pay. Yeah, I think and they set him up because in LA if he get a baby mother that's gonna be another 60% killer. Yeah. So he may not end up with $300. Yeah, man. That's a good point. That's a great point. Don't ever go raw in LA. You may not end up with with

three hundred. Yeah, man. That's a good point. It's a great point. Don't ever go ruin that leg. You gotta get niggas game. Don't ever let a woman move you to LA and tell you y'all starting over. Okay. So I know, yes, Nico and Aaron Rodgers are two different situations, but I want to go back to Aaron Rodgers real quick before we go to break. So we were on the topic of

pay cuts. Basically, Aaron Rodgers said he wouldn't mind playing for 10 million, which would make him the lowest paid starting quarterback in the NFL. Other than those on rookie contracts. Maurice, how do you feel about him playing as potentially the lowest paid quarterback for somebody at Aaron Rodgers' stature? I just have my tits, man. I'm just tired of niggas talking like 10 million ain't 10 million. You know what a nigga said.

I just don't know. Like, man, get the fuck out of here. Like, I'll do it for 10. You know what I'm saying? Like we just got to a place in 2025 where niggas just be talking about money. Like, I'll be like nigga nigga, we all grew up together, I'm 41. You know what I'm saying?

10 million is 10 million. You know what I'm saying? And a nigga try to say it like, ah, 10 million. My nigga like, fuck out of here. You know what I'm saying? I'm the lowest paid quarterback. We just gotta, I don't know what saying that I can say that's cool, we have to make money respectable again. But nigga just ain't about to talk about 10 million, it's 35 hundred. You know what I saying that I can say that's cool. We have to make money respectable again. But

nigga just ain't about to talk about 10 million like it's 3500. You know what I'm saying? So 10 million is 10 million. That's a lot of fucking money to play with. 10 million is a lot to play any sport. I don't care if you're playing basketball for a whole season, hockey, whatever you're doing. If you're playing a game and playing a sport and somebody's giving you $10 million, it's still a lot of fucking money. Even if other people are making more money, they give you at your position. That's what I'll say. Mo, they say it's all relative.

Some niggas looking at $10 million. Like $3,800 in his pocket, in the room, in the Pele. He ain't getting no shit listen to me. He ain't say go get that 10 for me. He got a lot of money in his career, but we not about to talk like 10 and like 10. You know what I'm saying? Get the fuck out of here nigga. Nigga talking like big dog.

You're like, make the fuck out of here. Nigga 10 million or 10 million? You know what I'm saying? I'm from Youngstown, Ohio. 10 million like a billion nigga. You know what I'm saying? I got hood map. You know you hood map.

It's like nigga a million is 10 million. I'm from Youngstown, Ohio. Ten million like a billion, nigga. You know what I'm saying? I got hood math. You know you hood math. It's like a million is ten. That's what I want to do with my little... You know what I'm saying? So, yeah. Get the fuck out of here.

Nigga be talking like they Jeff Bezos and shit. Ten million. Fuck out here, nigga. Yeah, Moe, 10 million in Jacksonville is like a quarter of a trillion, nigga. A quarter trillion. You can move to the beach if you want wanted to to the other side of the town if you want to. And I know you just finished me. I'll tell you a couple things for this from this. It's like this. Aaron Rodgers, first of all, Aaron Rodgers made a lot of money in his career so it ain't like he need no money. So the first thing I take from that is like, it ain't about the money. Second thing I take from that is, I'm willing to

take that for Aaron Rodgers. And listen, mom, I agree with what you're talking about. I'm just giving Aaron Rodgers perspective. I'm willing to be the lowest paid quarterback in the NFL. Just to show niggas that I'm like that. Yeah, like whatever, whatever. Because what y'all guys are saying ain't a bunch of niggas who I'm like that. Yeah, like whatever, whatever. Because what y'all guys are saying ain't a bunch of niggas who want them from what you guys are saying. That's the case, give me 10 mil and let me show niggas what I can do.

That's how I take that. Because at the end of the day, me personally, I might still, again, last season ain't the season to base it on, but I might still take Aaron Rodgers over to Dak Prescott. Dak getting 60. I still might take him over to Dak. Dak good, but Aaron, we know what Aaron can do. He just didn't work with the Jets. We don't remember yesterday.

So the niggas ain't gonna remember Aaron Rod I remember when I was like two, three seasons ago. Ain't that far off. It just didn't work with the Jets. Why not take eight then? Seven. Cause he already filled that 10 as a discount. You heard that Mo. That's why he can't take the 10.

I get it. I'm not. I'll take 10. What he said, I was like, fuck out of here. Listen, that's a good snap. We come back from break, you know what? Let's Google and find out how much money Aaron Grodge has made his whole career football-wise. I'll find that out. Yeah, because he said I could, he could have come back for the aid,

but he said I'm doing you a favor, bro. You know how much money I get to do this. Okay, let me say this before we go to break. Niggas be acting like they can just step out into the real world and go profit $10 million doing something. Shit don't work like that, my nigga. You know what I'm saying? I'm serious. Like it ain't just too many spaces you can step out into real life America. Like you'll have these moments where you can buy into startups and the valuation of your company goes up. But if you're just going to get into some entrepreneurial endeavor, man, you got to buy a shit ton of real estate, a shit ton of something to produce that number. So sometimes when they could be talking about shit, and they could be talking about shit like this,

this is everyday cash, athletes for the moment that they can play, make shit tons of money in short periods of time. And it's just not easy to produce that, you know what I'm saying? Or reproduce that. That's what I'm saying. Now you're making sense, unless you got a thousand car lots

and 1400 restaurants and Arby's and all of that. So you're right. When it's, when it's time to be an entertainer of any sort, we look at it differently because they used to the money coming so fast. Yo Mo, yo Mo, you know how you coming across the day? You come in the course like the nigga that's on the block who mad and niggas arguing about how much niggas making the NBA

Y'all niggas ain't got no money How much money they got for? You come across as that n***a like that's why y'all n****s still out here. Because y'all n****s can't put shit together. That's exactly why y'all n****s are still here. Y'all ain't about other n****s money. How much they getting? Bro we talking about LeBron and Jordan. What you talking about? That's how you come to the course bro.

I'm just telling y'all. One n***a on the block talking about y'all ain't got 10 million. Why you, why you got 10 million. Why you, yo, why you got 10 million? Why you worried? You talking about the n***a? It's Mo. Yeah, killer. Mo been watching that Earn Your Leisure.

He sounded like Earn Your Leisure. Shout out to Earn Your Leisure. Mo, you been hanging out with them business people. That's what I'm saying. I've had it before. 10 million still, 10 million bad. I agree. I agree with Mason though when he says it's all relative, depending on who you talk to.

Yes, it's all relative. That's like when people was like, how do you feel when they ask some of the older athletes? They say, how do you feel in 1972, you was only making two million? Well, two million in 1972 is 200 million today. So that's why it's all relative. So today when he's saying he need the 10, ten is ten is the number that's like what he feel it should be. If you you know if you're not

hanging out with Mo and you know and watching earn your leisure you know. The whole thing about it is this right let me give you let me give you a better example and I know we all got a break in the ministry I'm gonna give you a great example right Mo and I'm asking got to break in the ministry. I'm gonna give you a great example, right? Mo, and I'm asking modus, do you feel like 50,000 is a good amount of money for a regular person? 50,000? For a regular everyday person? Yeah. Exactly. Or if you're gonna make $50,000 over the weekend, right? Or let's just say Friday to Sunday. All right, cool.

Mace turns down 50,000 every weekend for shows. Every weekend, they offer him 50,000 minimum. I'm not being nice with the number. And he says, no, Mace says I will come out for 120,000 for 15 minutes. That's his number. I'm dead ass, I'm not even exaggerating. His number might have went up. I'm not saying I don't know,

but I know he do the festivals and all that. Every weekend niggas make niggas offers, and thank God the niggas is in a position to be like, I ain't got time for that, thank God. But I'm saying, every week that niggas just turn down 75,000, 60,000. And they get in the attitude about it like, why is he even calling me?

Yeah, why is he even asking me that? That's why I'm disrespectful too. Yeah, so this guy, every week that he just asks, I don't even call him no more because niggas been calling me. And I'm like, he not gonna even move for less than a hundred. I know they'd be like, what about 75? I said, I'm not gonna ask him that

because I already know he's not doing it. So to answer, so to make the back to the point, this is for a weekend, I gave you Friday to Sunday. He won't go out for 15 minutes for 70,000. It's not a relative. They just want a little show. They want a 15-minute rap performance. I'm not gonna put his business out there, but the last time you see them was a child of the creator shit. You do the math.

Shout out to that vlog now. You dance better when they pay you more, you know. Shout out to Tyler. I'm gonna get some more, you know, some people are walking nah for real, some people are walking around with a $50,000 watch, you know? So it's relative, you know? A lot of people can't afford to turn down $50,000 for a weekend. A lot of people. A lot of people gonna see this and be like, what you doing? What the hell you doing? What you doing?

What's funny? What you doing? What you doing? What you doing? I said, you turn on the sun. You turn on the sun. You turn on the sun. I'm gonna show you a new trick.

Super cool. Super cool. Super cool. Super cool. Super cool. Super cool. Super cool. No, no, no. No, no, because you know why? And I ain't laughing. I ain't laughing. And then I'll be the YNs and be the old niggas.

I'll be feeling bad when I see them niggas say, yo, come meet me at the bowling alley this week. You know, bowling alley this week. Both of them are karaoke. Yeah. Both of them. Ah. Ah. It's all about karaoke as well. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit.

Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh man. Oh man. Oh man. It's all relative shit.

Oh man. Yeah, man. It's all relative shit. Oh man. It's all relative. You know. Some niggas in church locking the doors for 40 so. It's crazy out here. It's crazy out here.

You almost spoke. You're my spook! to do what they got to do. Yes. Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! It's not telling us the people what to do. Oh, I'm so sorry. Go ahead, Stan.

Go ahead. Yeah. We will discuss it with you after the break. So Aaron Rodgers has actually made the most money in NFL history with career earnings at $381 million over Tom Brady. So we can talk about the relative of that. And we will also talk about how early is too early to retire Jersey. I know you'll have a lot of thoughts we will discuss after the break. She call this thing about toxic Four years and counting

Got you feeling like a option Maybe I'm my own problem, babe She tired of hearing I don't know My stubborn in me won't fall, oh, oh Killing with this thing called trust But she really think it might want to be free. Welcome back.

So it's time to get into our underdog picks of the day. We know it's NBA playoffs on Saturday. The Clippers will play the Nuggets. Underdog has Jokic at 28 and a half points. Do you have him higher or lower mace? Come on, anything with the Joker, you got to go higher. You don't matter if they set 50, I'm going higher. Does he's like that pause?

Yeah, absolutely. More than 28 points. But the set the series off, this will be a great series. So I'm really hyper about this series. The boy that Kawhi Leonard is playing James Hart and looking good Fucking Norman Powell I can't think of a nigga named Zubik. Them niggas is alright The question is is Jamal Murray healthy enough to play?

Higher though, higher. Okay, Kawhi is at 34 and a half points, rebounds and assists. Young, higher Lord Cam. Yeah, I'm gonna go higher with everything. That's all that. Yeah, yeah, higher. And this is gonna be interesting for Russell Westbrook.

This is a make or break for him going against his old team. And then James Harden is at 22 and a half points. You have him higher, Laura Mace. This is going to be a ball out series. He's definitely going to have higher than 22. He's going to need higher than 22 to beat Denver. Yeah, I'm go higher as well. Okay,

dropped their playoff bas the extender, you can play bigger boost each round o start a playoff series by one boost and continue bo game to unlock the next o the series, the bigger th sure y'all get on underdog,

the best place to make picks during playoff basketball and make sure y'all get started now. So previously, we know we were talking about the relative of money, not pocket watching, it's just the facts, it is what it is. So we now know that Aaron Rodgers has made the most money in NFL history in his contracts alone. He has made $381 million in real earnings, more than Tom Brady.

Maurice, are you surprised? Yeah, I was surprised. I was surprised when you said the number so Aaron Rodgers, I apologize. I see why you sneeze at $10 million. And so you got to put respect on the brother's name. But I didn't realize he made that much money in comparison to everybody else. I thought that they just started giving those gargantuan contracts out, you know, within the last three to five years.

And I was thinking about when Deshaun Watson reset the market, but it sounds like he's been getting paid for a long time. So shout out to Mr. Rogers for making all of that money during his NFL career. Yeah. You see our information changes everything. Now it's back relative. You know, the set closed the door. I think, I think, um, when, now that we know the money amount, this is really like he is doing him a favor.

He's doing him a favor by playing for 10 million. I even take back me saying, well, can he do it for seven? He can't do it for seven. He can't do it for eight. And sometimes people that don't know that he's made that much will say, well, you wouldn't even take the meeting if they're not talking 10, 10 is just the number to converse at. We're not even going to have a non-million dollar conversation.

And then when people don't know that level of money, they'll get upset with a person like that for having that type of stance. And really he's, he's probably just thinking 10 will cover my expenses. 10 to cover my expenses and I'll be able to play and they'll get what they need. I won't charge them that much. It'll, it'll cover a few things that need to be covered at this point. Just taxes on different things. Yeah.

I don't really have much to add. I'm just saying, I just want to know how much he made because he kind of said it all last. That's why I asked how much he made because he's telling you, I'm doing your favor. Have you really looked. He's doing a favor. He's doing a favor. Not only that, he's a Super Bowl champion. He's a four time league MVP.

And the niggas don't remember, he had a really bad season last season. The season before that he got hurt. And now niggas don't remember what he did the couple seasons before that. One season he was hurt, he didn't work one season. It didn't work out with the season he played for the Jets. Not just football-wise, but an array of things off the field as well. And now niggas is like, yo, yo Aaron, we good. And I f*****g come back in and you know, that's a f*****g real far down with Aaron and then be in trouble.

We'll see what happens. One thing too, I want to add just because I thought the list was interesting. So it's Aaron Rodgers for all time, then Matthew Stafford, then Tom Brady, then Matt Ryan, then Russ. So for those who wanted to know, now you know they make in. Well they've made a lot of bank over their career. Okay, so tomorrow during Colorado's spring game, Colorado will retire the jerseys of both Chador Sanders and Travis Hunter. This actually sparked controversy.

A lot of people think it's too soon, but y'all know people don't talk regardless. So Coach Prime responded to comments and he said, let's get the elephant out the room. I don't want to talk about this too long. I'm just going to talk briefly and let it go. We're talking about Shador. We ain't talking about nobody else. If his last name wasn't Sanders,

we wouldn't have this discussion. Only reason we're having this discussion is his last name is Sanders and that's it. Maurice, what's your take and how do you feel about what Coach Prima had to say? Oh, just simple. He's just doing what he wants to, you know what I mean? And I think like a lot of people hate Deion just because he does what he wants to. And you know, he's honored his son, he's honored Travis. And when you heard him respond in the media, he tried to. And, you know, he's honored his son, he's honored Travis. And when you heard him respond in the media, he tried to tell them in the nicest way possible, he's just, hey,

I'm not really about to get into all of the older players and older business. I'm about to worry about what I'm doing. Right. But I asked myself, when I seen this, why not getting bad at Colorado I asked myself when I seen this, why not getting bad at Colorado and the people who came before Dion and asked them why didn't they honor their people who were important to them then? They had every right. They could have went to the coach. They could have went to the alumni, to the board of trustees, and they could have said, hey, we're advocating for these other people to be retired. But with Dion, he's just going to catch a lot of hate.

Um, I'll say like this, nobody gave a fuck about Colorado over the last 20 years until Dion came and to Shador came until Travis came and they brought that program, the enrollment, the money, the national attention, um, cam has been up there a thousand times and every other celebrity that you can name, bless you, every other celebrity that you can name has been in that arena. And so Dion wants to honor his son. And this is a lot like the LeBron situation where you have people who are not normally in position of power. And when they get in power, they do things that you've never seen done before. And sometimes we criticize it.

This is the same thing that people hate about Mayweather, where you've never seen somebody take control of their career. And when they take control of their career, since you've never seen black people in power, you've never seen people make decisions other than what's been in power before you. And so anytime somebody gets out there and start to do something other than what they've seen done before, we criticize it because we've only seen the one way. And that's why when these things happen, you get the conery. Niggas just talking about other black people and hating for whatever reason, rather than looking at the flip side of that coin and saying, okay, the guy's honoring his son, good

that he's in a position to honor his son and at least do that. There's a lot of people who are in this college football system only because I know it, they don't have upward mobility. They can't get a head coaching job. They can't get an offensive coordinator job and they end up being pigeonholed into one thing. So shout out to Coach Brown, even though he called with the backpack, my little funky backpack, he's still my man. little funky backpack. He's still my man. Much respect to him and his son. I ain't gonna forget that. You gonna make a call on Deon? I would shout out, my outlist to me, shout out to him and I sincerely mean it because he's doing something. People don't get this part. When somebody who looks like you does

something that you can't do, they create the room and the normal thing for it to be done for you. And so instead of you looking at it, hating on it, just look at it and say, man, this man is creating room for me to be more, but everybody doesn't have that perspective in life. And so that's my perspective. That's a great, that was a great point,. But you, I was listening to you, would you call, you would call on Dion for the backpack? Like when you just talking about Nico?

No, he was hating on the backpack when he said I would give somebody a funky little backpack. And so that's not just like my, this is my new jab that goes from for him dog, my funky little backpack. Y'all tried to play me and I had to make a call. That's what happened. That's what happened, man. Yeah, but what I'm basically saying is that you saw that stat, the same way we was talking about

Nico, Mo was holding on to that with the backpack. You didn't even realize that all his time went past and in his heart, he's still thinking about that backpack. So if the phone call comes to him, you're not going to get the job because of that little instance with the backpack. That's what we're trying to tell you. I'm just kidding. Watch how you talk to people, man. backpack. That's what we're trying to tell you. Not only that, Moe, Moe feel they want to chip you, chipping all that. So you know, whatever.

So stat, if something would have went wrong, Moe would have gave Dion a backpack and told him, remember this? Yeah, so we're talking about this whole honoring his son and Travis. It's not just really honoring his son. He's honoring the players that turned the program around. It, like we said, the last person I watched in Colorado was Chauncey Billups that had to be at least, um, 30 years. Yeah.

That was as long as I've watched Colorado. So to bring this kind of notoriety and publicity and money and opportunity. And it, this is like a generational change for Colorado. It's like when we went up there, even though I was sitting on the wrong side, you know, I was sitting over there with, with USC, I did have a cowboy hat on now, but this is the first time they saw a black guy ride the ride the horse. So, you know, to be like, what is he doing? He riding on a horse? That's what Mo is talking about, pause, you know?

It's crazy. It's crazy. I'm riding a black guy riding a horse. It's crazy. I'm riding a horse. Wow. You touching up, man. I didn't say pause. I didn't say pause. up, man. But what I'm saying is this is the people you should be honoring. Who else is there to honor? This is going to bring prestigiousness back to the program of Colorado. And Deion

has to do this now while he's hot, while he's in position to do it. Because later on, you know, people will try to play you. That's what we're talking about on this segment with Aaron Rodgers and different people. It turned right around and say, nah, such and such, the new quarterback should be on it. So before we even get there, let's just get your door out the way and get Travis out of the way. I mean, and if he was feeling like Giannis, throw his other son number up there. If you really want to throw your weight around. We're going to retire. We're gonna retire. We're gonna retire as number two, nigga. Yeah. Yeah, Deon, if you listen to me, I will honor the Deon number two and throw his number up there too,

just for the sake. You do what you want to do when you pop it. Pause. pause. Yeah, this ain't really a big, big, big thing pause for me. It's real easy pause. You, this is how we doing shit now. I like the niggas who was here before me, so who didn't do it for y'all. Talk to the AD, the old coaches, the people who's here. I like them niggas, cause this how we doing shit now.

And we gonna start with these two. Everybody good? We good? Cause I wasn't here for another shit all right back let's keep it moving that's me we're not even gonna get but these not there's a price I'm not it ain't really nothing else to say you can ask me all the questions you want I'm here this is how we're doing it these are the players we're starting with. You can't get mad at me. Talk to the other people who were here before me. I'm not answering any more questions about this guy, Mo. You're forgetting something. There's somebody who approved this, so they felt the same way. That's the point. Yeah. So he had to take this conversation to the board of trustees.

And I'm pretty sure when he went there, they like this man has made us a lot of money. And so that's that's why I get a chance to do this. And that's what people don't understand. So as much as they try to criticize one man, you have to put all the variables into the conversation. I've generated a lot of money when you generate a lot of money for people you have favor with them. And when you have favor with them, they're allowing you to do other stuff that other people can't do and that's why they call him

Prime That's what it is. The show business baby. You're 100% right. Not only that listen I remember when he left Jackson State and was going to Colorado and they did deal for five million dollars and they Asked the athletic director you have the money pair me say no, but we gonna get it We don't get they didn't have the money to get it baby, but we're going to get it. We're going to get it. They lived the deal and didn't have the money to get it. Then he just did a deal for 54 million. You went from winning four games when you supposed to win three to the next season you get a bowl game.

Not only that you got the Heisman trophy winner. Not only that your son is going to go to the second quarterback. We don't know which team yet in the draft. Nigga, they won one game before he got there. Let the nigga do what he do, my nigga. Come on, my nigga. 54 million a lot to you, Mo? To me, yeah.

To me, that's a lot of bread. Listen to me, 54 million at 60. How old is Dion? 60? Yeah. I'll take 54 million at 60. I ain't gonna lie to you. Yeah, I totally agree with all y'all. The other day, people are just mad because they got motion. And if you don't got motion, you're gonna be hating from the outside. So congratulations to Travis and

congratulations to Shador. But that is all the time that we have for today. Maurice, always a pleasure to have you on the show. Mo, take that blue off Mo. See you Mo. Yeah. Like what? Thank y'all for watching. And as always, it is what it is. Killer. Thanks for watching!
