IT IS WHAT IT IS - It Is What It Is Episode 2

Episode Date: April 27, 2023

Welcome back to It Is What It Is. It's your girl Esmeralda. I am here with your host Cameron and your host Mace. First and foremost, I just want to say thank you guys for watching the first episode. Everybody loved it. We appreciate you guys. We'll start with that. Okay, first question. We're going to go right into it. John Morant can't stay out of trouble. He was caught flashing a gun on IG Live and now he is out for two games.

He sent out a message stating that he will go through a healing process, but now he is being investigated by Colorado police after multiple incidents. What is he healing from? That was going to be my first question.

First, I wanted to finish it. That was my first question. The fuck is a healing process? See, you know what happens? You know what happens on some G shit? You know what happens? And I'm not being funny in none of this shit because, you know, because you know what it is?

They'll sit there and say that we insensitive because we grew up in another era and all that other shit. Niggas got to stop playing with this mental health shit. For real. When niggas get in trouble and niggas ain't doing shit right, niggas just run into that. Yo, you know what? I bugged out and my brain ain't been working right.

But when he get the money from it, there's no mental issue. He's really not supposed to pay somebody a lot that got mental issues. But I think he just got goals. I think he's trying to make it out the league and make it to the hood. Sound about right. I mean, you want to elaborate?

Because I got a few things to say about it. I think when he first started, the thing that happened with the kid, that was kind of crazy. The 17-year-old? Yeah, boxing with the kid or the kid hitting him with a ball. They stomped him. We actually have a list of all the shit that he did.

Yeah. One was with the mall head of security. What happened with the mall security? No, could you run down everything he did in the last month or so? Yes, one with a 17-year-old and an altercation with the Indiana Pacers. It was also claimed he was throwing gang signs. What happened with the Indiana Pacers? Would you like to elaborate on that?

Oh, be honest with you. Was that the thing with the infrared? With the laser. Yeah, nigga. And my thing is, how he getting all these guns on the road? He was in Indiana with a laser on niggas. How would you get all these guns on the road? Oh, my goodness.

E4KT or something. EOTF or something. Yes, people. Well, listen, this is my thing on the whole thing, on the situation. I love John as a player, though. Maybe that's what make him so aggressive going to the basket. The whole shit is this, bro. You know, and I've seen that happen a lot with the last few years,

even with some peak players for the Raiders. Yeah. They were speeding a few years ago, killed somebody. It was like three players on the Raiders like three years or two years ago that got kicked off for killing and speeding and drinking and driving. And what I call it is I call it the Gary Coleman syndrome. Seriously. What is Gary Coleman?

Gary Coleman never played sports. Nah, he never played sports, but I call it the Gary Coleman syndrome. You went through the Gary Coleman syndrome? No, I went through the Gary Coleman. Yes. Then you went through the Gary Coleman. What was my Gary Coleman moment? All, I went through the Gary Coleman. Yes. Then you went through the Gary Coleman. What was my Gary Coleman moment? All of us went, not all of us.

All of us. What happened is with the Gary Coleman, you may still have the Gary Coleman syndrome. For real, but we older and now we know the Gary. That's crazy. No, with the Gary. That's crazy. I'm trying to tell you what the Gary Coleman syndrome is. Tell me what the Gary Coleman syndrome is.

The Gary Coleman syndrome is when you get money at a young age and you got more money than the niggas around you. So when the niggas older than you, they got some knowledge. You don't want to hear that. You only listen to the niggas who be like, word, you doing the right thing. Gary Coleman is crazy. Yeah, because Gary was eight years old

when I was playing. That's the nigga. Gary Coleman syndrome is when you're the youngest nigga with the most money. That's a lot of people in entertainment. Right. Gary couldn't touch his money? Yeah, but at the end of the day, he had the money. I'm talking about when you're the youngest nigga

with the most money. Yeah, don't get it fucked up. Different strokes were still coming on when Gary was 18 he just had that disease he wasn't growing Gary's parents was jerking I'm just saying when you the youngest nigga with the most money that's the Gary Coleman syndrome so what I'm saying is this though

realistically all jokes aside is that John Morant has more money than everybody in his circle and a lot of is probably yes man in them instead of telling them and then the ones who probably may be telling them the right thing may be like don't get the out of here you spoiling the fun yeah because i really love him as a player but i just don't understand i've seen this story on how he got to the nba Nobody drafted him. You know, he had that one scholarship offered to D1. The one guy

came in the gym and saw him playing and said, we're going to give you a scholarship. Right. I never seen all this gangster shit. And I said, I don't want to say he ain't. I seen his E60 on ESPN story. And this was all backyard shit with

your father. You grew up with your parents and everything else. It was no gangster shit on the way. I'm not saying that you wasn't because maybe I missed something, but you don't get a $230 million deal to start throwing up gang signs and brand just guns in the club. Would you want to elaborate on that?

I think a thing that happened with the young athletes the most is that they break them trying to make them great. Like, you know, being in a park all the time. Breaking their will, almost breaking them down mentally. So that's why a lot of kids that end up really great, they malfunction in the mind. Yeah, but not only that, a lot of athletes,

you got to realize a lot of professional athletes you got to realize, a lot of professional athletes as well have been super sore since they was eight. The average basketball... That's what I'm talking about. Right, absolutely. That's what I'm agreeing with you. The average athlete who's in the pros didn't start when they was 17.

They've been doing this since they was six, seven, eight, nine years old. So they never really got to live. So maybe he's trying to live right now, and this is his form of living. I think that anybody in that 16 to 28-year-old range is all blurred lines between athletes and rappers. Because all the rappers, yo. All the rappers think they can ball, and all the ballers think they can. Stat baby. Stat baby. Stat baby. Come here. Come here. rap yo all the rappers think they can ball and all the ballers think that i'm stat baby stat baby

stat baby come here come here this is my stat baby right here we call her stat baby she got all the stats yeah she got she works for me only you can't use her when you get a chance come back and tell me them knucklehead ass niggas that played for the raiders they ran over some people and killed somebody driving. Yeah. That fucked up their life because they tried to put an album out after they got out the NFL like two years ago. All right?

All right. Thank you. I appreciate it. Please don't ask her to do shit for you. She's not. Stat baby, listen. Yeah, that's that. Put this camera on me.

Stat baby, I need you to find the top 10 most valid athletes. Nah, nah, nah, nah. You got to pay her, man. That's not for me. We can talk about that later, man. But I really just think, we'll find out, but I really think that a lot of times these young kids, you can't tell them nothing.

You can't tell me nothing at 23, 24 years old. Yeah, with $200 million. They couldn't tell me anything with 200,000, so I know 200 million. That's the Gary Coleman. That's what I'm trying to explain to you. So you got the Gary Coleman, too.

I know I had the Gary Coleman. You had it first for my neighborhood, but I'm just trying to tell you, because you got to realize, look, when you go where we grew up at, right? And I'm not even talking about John Moran. I don't know his situation. But when the nigga tell you something, they may have some knowledge.

I'm talking about, I'm not going to speak for a 22-year-old Mase because he got it way before I got it. But I'm talking about a 22, 23-year-old Cam. And nigga be like, yo, what you should do is you should invest some of this in. And you need to put this you need to put this in here young fella because it's going you never have to work again yeah you never have to because Harlem's growing and you sitting there like this with the money and you looking like uh you ain't do it that right why you why you ain't do this with your money if you ever had money so now I can't really go off what you're telling me because you fucked

up. But you got an idea for me. Yeah. I don't know if I could go. That's what my uncle told me. He said, if I had your money in my brain... Your money in my brain is wild Disrespecting That's wild

What are you talking about And then he asked me to buy him a boat Boat Exactly When you young it's hard They may have some knowledge but They ain't got the money to match the knowledge. That shit is going to be like

for me. That's going to make me for me. I'm sorry. That shit's going to have you like, I can't really go with what you're saying. I'm going to keep it honest. He's the main one like that. He doesn't need Gary Coleman. You understand? There's been times where I can't go

into verbatim, but I may be a middle man with somebody who can't talk to him that he may want to talk to but I gotta be a middle man and I'll deliver a message to him and I'll be like yo so and so said X Y Z and he'll be like A B C

D E F G though and I'll be like word that do make sense alright bet let me go tell though. And I'll be like, word, that do make sense. All right, bet. Let me go tell this nigga with me. And he'll be like, listen, man, you know, tell me I ain't really trying to make sense. I'm just trying to bust a move.

Yeah. Sometimes niggas don't want to make sense either. Yeah, they just want the money. Okay. All right, awesome. We're going to take a quick break, and we will be right back. This thing about toxic. Four years of counting. Got you feeling like an option. Maybe I'm my own problem, babe.

She tired of hearing, I don't know. What's happening to me won't fall. Dealing with this thing called trust. But she really thinking about free why am i free i wish somebody told me the rules disagreements let her win even when i'm Okay.

So speaking of... No, wait, wait, wait. No, one minute, one minute. Okay. Was he waving an infrared at the Indiana bus? That was at the Indiana thing, but he's under investigation now in Colorado for... He's throwing up crip signs and he's

having a.25 handgun, they're saying. Was it a real one or a prop? They're saying, like, why would he issue an apology if it was a prop? He wouldn't be issuing an apology. So he's full fledged. I mean, with this, you know, with a stat that I looked at

also murder is that them niggas is like 12 and 22 on the road or some shit. What the fuck going on on the road? That was crazy. I saw that. Right. Steven Adams said every he told him not to go out. Right. And then this happened.

Yeah. And at the end of the day, they were talking about Steven Adams. He could be a voice, but he can't be the leader because he's not that good enough. He's not good enough to be the leader, but them niggas is 12 and 20-something on the road. I have no idea what the fuck going on. They only lost about five or six games

at home. Yeah, exactly. On home, you know, they feel safe. They got them guns on the road, but you know what? This brings me to a point. Who's your top five or top ten dangerous athletes? I want to see who you go with.

Before we do that, another thing is, let me look at the camera, and I'm not holding judgment on nobody. Team Morant, you got to start being a father figure. The sunglasses, the riling out, trying to fight Shannon Sharp. You have a lookalike contestant, you gotta start being a more father figure. The sunglasses, the riling out, trying to fight

Shannon Sharp. You having look-alike contests with Usher talking about y'all looking... I understand you're the new age cool dad, but this is a little too cool. Yeah. You know, Team Morant, we got to set an example. Yeah, you don't want this to go to Iverson. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Listen, Iverson went and fucked up 230. He got 231 million for five years. Starting next year. Yeah, yeah. Big shout out to AI. But far as most dangerous? Yeah, who's your most dangerous athletes?

Give me one. You got to go with that wild ass nigga from New England who killed himself. No disrespect to the nigga. You know my nigga, he was killing he did a drive-by on niggas. Aaron Hernandez. There you go. That was a wild nigga. Because he was into everything. Well, I got Ray

Caruth. If we going that far, I got OJ. You got OJ. You can't go further than OJ, nigga. Wait, wait, nigga. None of this is funny. If you talk about dangerous. Dangerous. Dangerous.

None of this. I'm not laughing at the situation. No, no. Brittany Griner. That might be too soon, bro. It might be too soon. What do you mean dangerous, though? She might be in my honorable mention.

But for what? Why would she do this dangerous? Domestic. She do be the wife. She might be in my honorable mention. But for what? Why would she do this dangerous? Domestic. She do be the wife. Sprewell. Sprewell. Vernon Maxwell. Vernon Maxwell.

Ron Artest slapped the shit out of the crowd. Ron Artest said, don't disrespect me nowhere. No type of way. In the arena, we'll do it right here. Right here in the middle of the game almost over. And then change the name to Metta World Peace. Yeah, then change it to Panda World Peace. The name, shout out to Art, shout out to Mike. But the name, change it to Panda right now.

Violence is not funny. At all. It's not funny. Not at all. We were just saying who is our top dangerous artists. I mean, athletes. And beware of those. And beware of those.

Yeah, and look out for any signs if you're around certain people like that. Yeah, if you're around a basketball player, but every time he loses, he comes home. And he leaves the gas on. It might be time to leave the house. There you go. All right. So speaking of basketball players that are off the court, we can't ignore the players who might have cost themselves playtime on the field.

Top NFL draft prospect Jalen Carter turned himself in after a warrant for a crash that resulted in a teammate's death. This happened the day he was supposed to speak at the NFL Combine. He posted Bond for reckless driving in relation to a fatal crash in Georgia that returned to the Combine. Oh, sorry. This was right after they won that. This is the guy that this happened right after they won the national championship.

So he was drag racing. Yeah. Yeah, he was racing against his friends in another car or another teammate. And when he crashed, what did he do? So he didn't crash the other car crash. The other car crash, but he started it? Basically, they don't know who started it, but they got footage of him racing with the car with the people who died in it.

And he wasn't truthful at the scene of the crime. So basically, he was at the Columbine. if I'm saying it right, the Combine. And when he was about to do his interviews, they issued a warrant for his arrest. So he had to fly back, turn himself in, then he ended up flying back to the Combine. What I will say about this, it's the same thing and even worse than the John Morant situation because he didn't get his money yet like it's a bunch of dumb shit i did that i always say thank god yeah because this is you you already know it's a bunch of shit and then you could be like yo because if i would

have got caught doing this or caught doing that shit could have went a whole different way and these kids got to realize y'all are only one night for fucking up millions, if not tens of millions, hundreds of millions of dollars. So do you think he's still going to get drafted? It depends on how much... His charges was misdemeanors. He got caught... I forget what the exact charges, but

they were misdemeanors. Reckless driving and speeding, something else. Why do you think so much violence is surrounding the athletes? Do you think it's the music? That might have could have been liquor, music. They won a national championship. They feeling they self. A lot of them

are going pro. This kid that died arrested is a top 10 prospect. Speaking of that, there's another guy from Alabama who took the gun to a guy who killed someone. And he should be in the lottery. Absolutely.

What's going on with that? Then you got to realize, I'm thinking it was New Mexico shut their season down for too much hazing. That hazing shit is wild too. I don't know what's going on with the hazing where they just want niggas naked. Niggas on the

paint and all type of crazy shit. What college is that? It ain't a black college. I don't know. It ain't a black college. It's New Mexico State, I believe. I don't want to be the state of the wrong school and they be like, it ain't our school, but it was one of them Mexico schools. It's one of those schools that black people, a lot of black people.

Whatever it was, they said, did you shut down for the season? Whatever the fuck they was doing. There was a number where the school said, y'all didn't even finish the season. That's crazy. But not only athletes, what I will say is this, a lot of people say stuff about athletes

and adults also and coaches are not saying that being held responsible, but a lot of this stuff gets swept under the rug. It was last year, the year before last, when Kansas City was going to the Super Bowl and Andy Reid's son was drunk and crashed into a car that killed like a three-year-old kid.

Wow. And they didn't let him go to the Super Bowl and coach, but I haven't heard about that case since it happened. And they did a blood test. He was over the limit of being intoxicated. Honestly, I think the pressure I think is constant. The constant

pressure of people drilling their kids to be great, that's breaking them mentally when they're young and when they get older. They're looking for outlets to have fun and it's just costing them a lot. I think that's part of it, but I think it's a lot of what they see, too. You gotta realize

everything is drill, drill, drill. You're getting NIL deals at 16, 17, 18 years old. So now you got a 17-year-old who ain't been to college yet who got a million dollars who's like, I'm gonna get a Lamborghini. And I'm gonna go follow my family. And he can't do that horsepower. He's been driving

Toyotas up to this point. Yeah, that's a fact. And Avis rentals. And then he get a Lamborghini and he can't get a Lamborghini. But what I really think is like, you give, and not even being funny like with the Gary Comer shit, you give

a nigga mad bread. And I tell niggas, and I tell niggas, but I tell niggas all the time, right? Mm-hmm. Right now, right? For instance, I know a nigga right now who's,

and I'm talking about a friend of mine. Yeah. Who's 32 years old. Yeah. If you give him $2 million right now, he gonna go crazy.

Yeah. I'm talking about he gonna fuck off. And chop off. Yeah. We at 1.4 fucked up by Friday. And ito crazy. Yeah. We at 1.4 fucked up by Friday. And it's Tuesday.

1.4 is gone by Friday. And he's 32, 33 years old. Yeah. And he got me talking about 2 million for 32, 33 years old. What is he doing with the 2 million? Nigga, part of all, he gotta go stay at the ritz for two months off time you gotta fly private he gotta fly the cube gotta go get some tubing like you gotta spend 25 000 one night in the strip club just to save the money sleep just he did this he gotta hold a hundred thousand to his

ear like this off top gotta go get the bracelets and everything. He's fucking that off like Brewster's Millions. Yeah. Immediately. But that's a 33-year-old. You telling a 19-year-old 200 million not to go crazy. Don't go crazy. Don't go crazy. Don't go crazy.

He go 200 million. And he was an underdog. Just don't go crazy. And he ran at the 200. Exactly. What a nigga told me is this. Because it was one of the times, you know, when Kanye was bugging out. You know, we were both mutual friends with Kanye.

And I got another mutual friend with Kanye. And I was like, yo, your man is bugging. And he came to me, Kim. He said, Kim, you was bugging too one time. You know what I'm saying? Well, I'm bugging, right? He said, Kim, it was a time. You came with the pink fur, the pink

headband. The request is bugging because sometimes I listen to niggas request, you know, I won't say which artist, but I know an artist that right now in his dressing room, it got to be 75 degrees temperature and all red Skittles in the bowl. No other color Skittles in the bowl and two

TVs with ESPN. So what happens if they slip an M&M in there? The whole thing is how many packs of Skittles you gotta buy to have a bowl of all red ones. How many packs is that? Stab baby. Stab baby. How many packs does it take?

They probably sell an all red bag. To get an all red bowl of Skittles. But what he was telling me was, he was pulling my coat a little bit. He was like, Cam, I remember we had to do a scene in Miami and you had to be by the water. And you told Vegas, you don't want to walk on the sand. They had to build you a little something. So they had to go to Home Depot and get wood for you to walk across to the water

because you say you don't walk on sand in the summer. This is the Gary Coleman syndrome. Yeah, this is exactly the Gary Coleman syndrome. I mean, I don't know. That sounds hot. A landish request. A request. Can a woman have Gary Coleman syndrome?

Absolutely. I don't know if you got the Gary Coleman syndrome. But the point is, what he said to me was, he said, Ken, don't act like you wasn't crazy. And remind me of that situation. He said, remember this. This game don't come with no instructions, nigga. And it don't.

Because what he go through may not be good what I go through. What this nigga go through may not be good. There's no instructions to this shit. Same thing with athletes. They got a guideline they got to follow, but everybody want, you can get away with certain shit depending on how nice you are.

There's no guidelines, and there's no instructions, but it is what they call a minefields. Yeah. Where you know this happened to this athlete, this happened to that person. And they shouldn't walk down those same paths, especially when you saw what it did to someone else.

Money talks. So you think. So you think. So if you run into a lot of money, get you a counselor, get you an advisor, because you'll need it. Yes, for sure. All right, we're going to take a short break. We will be right back. This thing about toxic. Four years and counting.

Got you feeling like an option. Maybe I'm my own problem, babe. She's out of here and I don't know. My stubborn in me won't fall. Dealing with this thing called trust. But she really thinking about free. Why am I? Welcome back to it is what it is. Let's go ahead and get into our next topic.

Deshaun Watson has over 20 sexual allegations, but he has $230 million secured with the Cleveland Browns. Daniel Jones just secured his contract with the Giants for $160 million. Guaranteed, too. If you're a masseuse, do you double back? You're going to talk about it. And the Seahawks just reassigned Geno Smith for $105 million. But what happens to Lamar Jackson? And how do you feel about the Ravens franchise

tagging him? Is that the same Gino? Gino, he got a third chance. Gino got more chances than me, I know that much. Yeah, Gino got a lot of chances. And for $105 million, he replaced

Russell Wilson in Seattle. He had a decent year. They lost first round to play. $105 million, I don't know. I don't know. That's a lot of money. That's a lot. For Geno, that's a lot.

What team is that? The Seahawks. He took Russell Wilson's spot. Russell Wilson went to Denver. I'm not going with that. What I'll say is this. The Deshaun Watson thing, look, you can't even get mad at Deshaun Watson. If him and his agent leveraged the best deal in NFL history at that time, he ain't got to play for a year, the sexual allegations,

and they still leverage the deal for that much money, all guaranteed. That's the problem now that all the other franchises are probably mad at the cleveland browns like what the fuck are y'all doing now you fucking it up for us setting that precedent yeah because if he gets that money guaranteed everybody money should be guaranteed that's the problem with lamar jackson right now so they franchise tag tagged him today uh it's the soft franchise tag to where basically it's two different type of franchise tags. It's one where they exclusively franchise tag you, meaning that you can't talk to nobody else. And it's the soft one to where you could talk to other people and whatever they offer you, we could match it.

Or you could go to them and we get some assets. They gave them the soft one. The hard one, pause. Pause, nigga. The franchise tag. Pause, nigga. The franchise tag? It's two different franchise tags, but the one where he can't talk to nobody else, he would have got $45 million

this year. The one right now is at $32 million, but he could go negotiate with other teams. I feel Lamar Jackson. He's been an MVP of the league. he hasn't won that many playoff games because he's been injured that's the only question is durability towards the end of the season but he has no off the field allegations about nothing and he's been a league mvp and he's a dual threat for his russian and passing and you're guaranteeing somebody $230 million who got 25 handjob allegations.

He could have gave Lori Harvey the franchise tax. That's right. He might win. So if teams don't want Lamar, why were the Giants afraid that they would want daniel jones my bad okay that's why you gave him a franchise tag yeah listen what happened is this so just so we clear on that situation that now that's some slick shit that daniel jones did with the giants and also because this is what happens.

You can only franchise tag one player from the team. So it was Daniel Jones or Saquon Barkley. So they was like, damn, we're going to franchise the quarterback or we're going to franchise the running back. You can franchise the one player on the team. So the Giants didn't know whether to do the quarterback or the running back. Who would you do? Now, look, the quarterback's most essential, but that running back's special, too.

I would go with the quarterback. Yes, yes, Saquon Barkley. Yeah, I would give it to Barkley. Pause. That's crazy. Yeah, that is crazy, but I'll let you go. Pause. What happened is, we'll let it go, we'll let it slide,

because I want to point this situation out. What happened is, when it was 10 minutes before the franchise tag was about to go they did a deal with daniel jones four-year deal so daniel jones to me he worked with the giants got his deal done so then they franchised saquon barkley today today basically off the strength but but my thing is the reason I'm bringing all this up because Daniel Jones is like, yo, franchise the nigga. He's from Duke.

No, and he's a nigga. He's black. Daniel Jones is white. I'm calling it is what it is. Just a name with a show, nigga. Let's get the if you're white, make it all right, four-year deal. And, yo, you black nigga, take this 10 million a year and be happy with it.

We franchise tagging you. So right before it was all over, the Giants quarterback did a deal with the Giants for four years, and they franchised the nigga Saquon Barkley on some nigga shit. Like, yo yo just sit down we'll get to you when we get to you if we do a long-term deal with you we'll do a long-term deal with you that'll be that all right all right awesome so we're gonna take a short break and we will be right back she called this thing about toxic

four years and counting got you feeling like an option Bye. in cold trust but she really thinking about she wanna be free welcome back to it is what it is we're gonna go ahead and get into our next topic the new york jets they are in talk with aaron rogers he is currently the oldest active quarterback in the league at 39 years old and the packers had an eight and nine record this season would this be a good trade and when is it time for him to give it up in the league at 39 years old. And the Packers had an 8-9 record this season. Would this be a good trade, and when is it time for him to give it up? Aaron Rodgers, that's a hard one to say because I don't got many quarterbacks better than him. Their QBR, everyone's QBR is not higher than his.

And if you're the New York Jets, look at me. Who else are you going to wait on? You got to wait. You're at the bottom of the totem pole. You got to wait. You're at the bottom of the totem pole. You got to wait. You can't call no shots. It is what it is. I was watching porn. I don't give a fuck

about these niggas. Look. I'm a dead ass watching porn. My bad. I don't know what that ad was. My bad. I don't give a fuck about Aaron Rodgers. I don't give a fuck about that. I was more interested

in this than that topic. Aaron Rodgers is a crybaby. He ain't been to a fucking Super Bowl since 2000. He ain't been to one Super Bowl. He only played in February. He's one time in his whole fucking career. He ain't been to the Super Bowl since 2000. That's February. Come on, Joe. One time his whole fucking career. He ain't been to the Super Bowl since 2020. Good quarterback.

I don't care about a regular season quarterback. Fuck I'm going to do with a regular season quarterback, but go to the regular season. Everybody's in the regular season. Who else are you going to wait on then? If you're the Jets? I don't care about the Jets either. Let me tell you something about the Jets. The Jets is worse than the Knicks.

See, we from New York. Yeah, we from New York. I never thought about the Jets. The Jets is worse than the Knicks. See, we from New York. Yeah, we from New York. I never thought about the Jets. The last time the Jets won was 1969 with fucking with Joe Kuhl and all that. But this could turn it all around. I'm tired of Jets.

I'm tired of Knicks. The Knicks and the Jets have not, we ain't been allowed to see them win. We've seen the Giants win. We've seen the Yankees win. The Rangers won. The Knicks haven't won since I've been alive, and the Jets haven't won before that.

I don't give a fuck about Aaron Rodgers. So you don't care about the championship that Phil Jackson won? Yes, in 1973, we wasn't born. Yes, when Phil Jackson was born, we wasn't born. Fuck Aaron Rodgers and your crybaby ass. You go in the tunnel in the dark and want to make these decisions. You hold Green Bay up every fucking year.

If you want to play, play. I would love to see you play. I think you're a great player, but I think you go through too much and get too little. Y'all haven't been to the Super Bowl in a decade and a half, and you've only been to one your whole career. That's crazy. The Jets, y'all had a good season. See, now this is the thing that pisses me off about the Jets. The Jets, y'all niggas had a great season.

And not even a great season, pardon me. It's great to us because they almost made the playoffs. Like, niggas like, whoo, the Jets was one win away from the playoffs. The niggas almost killed it this year. Hey, listen. Y'all want to talk about the Jets and Aaron Rodgers and what happened? They waited on Tim Tebow, though, Cam. They waited on Tim Tebow.

This is the dumb shit that we talk about the Jets do. Yeah. Listen, Aaron Rodgers is still good and all that, but this is the 39-year-old Aaron Rodgers. I'm not saying

he still ain't nice. He just got MVP last year. But I don't care. I mean, you've been the one Super Bowl murder to talk about. What about Tom Brady?

Did he win one in his old age? I know what you up to, man. Huh? Oh. What about Tom Brady? You want to get back? What about Tom Brady?

No, I'm not glad I said that. Where my other ones at? What do you want to talk about with Tom Brady? Yeah, I knew he was going to try to hit. Oh, we're not going to commercial break yet. Come on. Listen. Oh, yeah.

You'll stick with playing with us. Stop, baby. Don't ever in your life get up there. Oh, baby. In your life, you won't get paid. Shaving. Now I'm going super smarter than everybody. Oh, yeah.

Camera on me. Let's go to the next topic. Exit. Yeah. How you like that? It's great. Aaron Rodgers still been the one Super Bowl, don't matter what glasses. You waited on Tim Tebow. I didn't wait on Tim Tebow. I knew Tim Tebow

was trash. Tim Tebow's just a better analyst than he is baseball player, football player, any player. He was good in college. That shit don't always translate to the pros. I knew you was going to try to one-up me. Hey, listen, I'm doing it with the time. I'm from Harlem. You know I got one

up my sleeve. Hey. Okay, with that being said, we're going to take a short break and we will be right back. Pink horsepower. She called this thing about toxic what's happening baby what's happening why you walking like that that's how that's how i walk and then like you come on breathing on me like that i fucking breathe to live and like you used

to be dark skin and now you act like hella light skinned. You fucking blind? I'm dark skinned! What the fuck? And then like, look at your beard. The fuck is wrong with my beard? Your beard looks stupid. What the fuck are you talking about? No, I don't even like it. The way you breathe in, all of that. Has this ever happened to you? Your girl seems to be mad, angry, upset. She's frustrated.

There's only one way to handle that pink horsepower no no no no no just trying to give you a massage. Plus, have I told you how good your beard looks lately? It looks so good. No. PHP, it works every time. Wait, where are you going? Welcome back to It Is What It Is. Let's go ahead and get into our next topic since joining the Mavs Kyrie has a four and five record and he lost the game winning shot to the

Pacers the Suns are three and oh after Katie's return from his MCL sprain but Booker and Durant have broken a record for the most points in only three games for a duo. And they're up there with Wilt Chamberlain and players. Were any of these trades worth it? I think it was worth it. My genius opinion, I think it was worth it. I think Kyrie and Luka hit 40-40 and hit an official 40-40 club. I don't think Devin Booker and Kevin Durant could make

50-50. You want to wager? You like my new glasses that I just put on? I love them. They're absolutely amazing. Are they better than theirs? Tell the truth. You can be honest about it. I mean, I don't know. I like them both.

I really do like them both. If you had to pick one. If you had to pick one. I mean, those are making a statement. What does it say? Camera, camera, camera. Those are not making a statement. One is making a statement.

You should be making a statement. Look at the detail. On the side, there's a dollar sign. I just asked her if she liked that. there's a dollar sign. And on the side, there's a dollar sign. Which one? If you had the pair. You like money? You like money?

Love it. You like money? Love it. Okay, give me my other glasses. I knew he was going to try that. So I bought a third pair. Just in case. Let's get back to the topic, buddy.

I like those. Yeah, let's get back to the topic, buddy. I like that. Yeah, let's get back to the topic. So the topic was... Oh! Oh! I'm not going to do that one. I kept a third pair, too. I like these. Sneaky, sneaky.

Right. What is the topic? The trades? The trades. The Suns haven't lost yet. The Suns are 3-0 with Kevin Durant is with the Suns. The Kyrie, Luka thing, I don't know if that's definitely going to work. You went to a game recently.

Yeah, I did. The game that you went to, how was it? They won at the last minute. It looked like they were playing for stats, honestly. It looked like they were both trying to get their 40 and their 40, you know. Who do you think is better off after the

trade, the Phoenix Suns or the Dallas Mavericks? I think because Chris Paul listened to me last time. You know? He heard you. Yeah, he heard me. He heard me.

And they had a team meeting. Yeah, okay. And then KD got together. Okay. I think, I think, I want to say Phoenix, but I don't know yet. I don't know yet.

Sometimes the teams that start off the worst end up the best. So you, but I'm going with Phoenix over the Mavericks. In the West period, if up the best. So, I'm going with Phoenix over the Mavericks. In the West period. If they get Dwight Howard.

If they get Dwight Howard and they fly DeMarcus Cousin in to maybe, what's his name? Mark. The guy that, I'm having a brain. You're saying, who's he playing for? If they get Dwight Howard. Phoenix supposed to get Dwight Howard, you're saying? And they get Marcus Cousins. The Marcus Cousins.

Mark Cuban. Mark Cuban, listen to me. Get Dwight Howard, the Marcus Cousins, and y'all are wet. Dwight Howard's my man. I don't necessarily have a relationship with DeMarcus Cousins. I think he's a good player. They could get him for cheap.

Yeah, absolutely. I don't think either one of them equal up to Kevin Durant. I just think Kevin Durant's a different type of player. What I will say is this. I like the way Denver's looking. I like Phoenix.

Only thing that I will say outside of those two teams in the West is look out for Golden State. I think that Golden State could start. Come on, killer. You think Golden State can beat Denver? I want to know. Are you going on a record on this? I need camera.

Camera, look at me. you going on a record on this i need camera camera look at me cam are you going on a record that denver cannot beat golden state in a seven game series i said did you hear what i said maybe he's not listening maybe he's on his own type of time i said i like denver and i like phoenix that's exactly how i started shit off i said i like these like these two teams. I think it's the glasses. You're not seeing it right. And then I said, I like Golden State. What I think happened with Golden State this year is that they had a bad start to the year

when Draymond snuffed Shorty. And Draymond couldn't really beat Draymond. Before All-Star break, they was like an 11th seed. I looked yesterday, they're the fifth seed in the West. And I think right now is the time they're going to turn up. And I think the teams

in the West should be aware of Golden State Warriors. Everybody's, Steph Curry just came back. Everybody's healthy. They know what it takes to win a championship.

I just think they had a really bad start to the season with Draymond and Jordan Poole. So you're putting it on Draymond? I'm not putting it

on Draymond. I'm not putting it on Draymond. I'm putting it Draymond couldn't be Draymond. I think Draymond couldn't. You see during the season, Draymond wows out during the middle season. Draymond been quiet as a church mouse this season. No technical fouls. No yelling at niggas. I don't like that, Draymond.

Yeah, me neither. He couldn't be Draymond. I like that Draymond has stepped over LeBron. Yeah, yeah, exactly. And made LeBron go like that. Yeah, exactly. So that's why LeBron. Yeah, yeah, exactly. And made LeBron go like that. Yeah, exactly. So that's, LeBron did that to him also.

But I think Draymond couldn't be himself because they got him basically snuffing the nigga. And I think right now everybody's going to turn around. Golden State is my sleeper. But I'm going with Phoenix.

But Golden State, right now, this time of year, they know what to do. Fifth seed in the West right now. Number five seed. Okay. All right. Well, we're going to do. Fifth seed in the West right now, number five seed. Okay. All right.

Well, we're going to take a quick break, and we will be right back. Welcome back to It Is What It Is. Let's go ahead and get into our next topic. We're talking about LeBron. He is out for a couple games after an injury he could be sidelined for three weeks but ad has only seemed to get more aggressive now averaging 35 ppg 10.7 rpg and 2.7 apg do the lakers need lebron and did lebron stop ad shine guy i hate on lebrron like you usually do. Guy.

Guy. I don't hate on LeBron. I always hate on LeBron. I think LeBron is great. You always hate on him and his son. No, no, no, no. Last show, you hate on the Mikey Williams nigga. Oh, my goodness. Yes, you did.

You did. Guy. I think LeBron is great. I think Jordan is just better. That's my preference, you know? I think Bronny is going to be better than Mikey Williams. He's looking like it now. A week has changed that.

You don't have to explain if you hate niggas to me. No, no. It's not I hate. It's not I hate. It's like this. It's like this. It's like LeBron, some players, when they get with LeBron, they don't play their best.

He diminishes them. Like who? Everybody's not there just to watch him ball. Give me who he diminished. Make your shit up. Look at you. Give me three things he diminished. Kevin Love.

He won a championship with Kevin Love. But he wasn't the same Kevin Love. Yo, listen, because that Kevin Love was an average 30, but he wasn't getting a chip. Okay, but you didn't get you someone, so I just gave you someone. So he diminished the nigga, but got him a championship. No, I'm saying the way he plays is great for him, but it's not great for everybody that played with him. If you want to hate it. Listen, listen, I like LeBron.

She asked you about the Lakers, my nigga. All right, and you know I'm a lifetime Laker fan. My team, the Globetrotters, we don't never lose. I'm not talking about the Lakers. I'm talking about the Globetrotters. Okay. We don't lose nothing. Well, I'm a lifetime Laker fan.

Yeah. Since when? I don't remember this, to be honest with you. Who was my team? I really don't remember you being a Laker fan at all. Magic. I never seen you with no Converse. I cried when Magic left.

So did I, nigga. I cried when he got AIDS. Nigga, what the fuck is you talking about? What the fuck is being a lifetime Laker fan? I'm a lifetime Laker fan. Well, she asked you a question. What do you think about this situation? What do I think about the new look Lakers?

Do you think they need LeBron? Of course they need LeBron, but guys are going to flourish with him. Not me. Niggas. Of course they need LeBron. But what kind of shit is that? Yeah, that's wow. Okay.

That month before I need me in the room. Of course they need LeBron. LeBron is great for the franchise. He's great on their team. It's just, you know, everybody's not there just to watch you ball. Other people want to ball, too. What do you think about that? That wasn't even a question.

That's how much he hate LeBron. He just goes off the whole fucking question. Where do I get a hate? Why do you keep trying to put LeBron hate on me? Because that wasn't the question. We have the same birthday. We're in line. How do you know that?

I did my research. I'm on a show about sports. I got to know what I'm talking about. It's wife by her business. She don't be doing nothing but be home. I know. That's what I'm saying. That's another reason why I like the Lakers.

You got LeBron. I hate it. Did you do some whole shit on LeBron? That wasn't even a question. The actual question is. Do the Lakers need LeBron? I said could. Did you do some whole shit on LeBron? And that wasn't even a question. The actual question is Do the Lakers need LeBron? I said of course they do. And did

LeBron stop AD Shine? You know the answer to that. Everybody, look at me, TV Lynn. You answer the question. Put a poll up right now. Does LeBron stop AD Sean? Does LeBron having a ball make Westbrook less effective? Anybody playing the point knows what it's like to have your three bringing up the ball.

Where does that put you? It just so happened that Paxson can shoot. B.J. Armstrong can shoot. But if Scottie brings the ball up, it puts you down low. It's like when a seven-footer can dribble the ball. Where does it put the guy at six feet? I'm like Kosani. None of this shit. You're not? So growing up, if our big man brought up the ball, where would you be? I'd have to just go on the wing. You'd have to be a spot-up shooter

from the corner with two seconds to go. It's like what Luca does. He does all that and give you the ball with two seconds, and then you got to throw up a helmet. I'm done with this. It is what it is. I didn't even get my go yet. That's how crazy this shit is

with this nigga. It's a luxury to have a big man poise who could bring the ball up. That's a luxury. Now, you know, now he's trying to criticize him. My man do this same shit. Yo, why niggas ain't on the block? Niggas supposed to be doing footwork. Why niggas ain't doing this no more? You want a nigga to be doing

this on the block all day? I'm dangerous over all this. Akeem on the block. Oh, that's great. Yo, listen, I'm missing two murder. I miss all the... No, but if you give me the ball with three seconds to go and I got different layup packages,

you know, different things I can do and you give it to me with three seconds, I can't do nothing like that. So anyway, I think LeBron wants AD to be the man. I think the AD is... The best ability is availability and AD is not always available. I think that LeBron defers the AD. He says be the man kind of how Dwyane Wade did when LeBron was in Miami.

And AD just can't cash the check. He's always hurt. You're never available. You're doing that. You're not the ability. I don't disagree with that. He has no ability. He not for me ability best ability is availability

and durability he has neither one of those if he was on the court I think that he would be the man I think LeBron would be like yo I'm fucking 38 I could take us to the Baja but I want you to take us to the Baja and I play the wing you supposed to be doing all this shit

and he's not. So do you think he blocked his shine? Answer the question. The answer to the question is I think that he blocks his shine because AD is giving him the ball to block his.

I think the answer to the question is I would say no. Oh my God. I would say no. I say the answer to the question is no. I think AD is blocking

his own shine because he's never available and that puts more pressure on LeBron to make sure that the team tries to have at least a reasonable record to get into the playing. Minimum. So the answer is no, I don't think LeBron is blocking AD's Sean. I think AD not being available is blocking his own Sean. So explain LeBron not being there and him scoring 40.

And when LeBron is present, his numbers go. No, but he scored 40 when LeBron there, too. LeBron gave it to him with the game on the line. You got to watch that shit. If you a Lakers fan. Stat baby. Stat baby. Stat baby.

Stat baby. Stat baby. If you pay him any money, you will not pay him. He said he got his own nigga named Mr. Know-It-All. I just got a little Asian guy saying Mr. Know-It-All. Don't pay him no money. He already plotting to go against you. Mr. Know-It-All. I just got a little Asian guy saying Mr. Know-It-All. Don't pay him no money. He already plotting to go against you. Mr. Know-It-All will be here.

Yeah, well, if you want to go against that, baby, you can pull it up. Let's get it. Okay. Mr. Know-It-All knows it all. Yeah, I thought you was Mr. Know-It-All. How many of y'all there are? It's a group. Yeah, is it?

It's a group. Yeah. It's a conglomerate. Y'all are masons. Yeah. The's a conglomerate. Y'all are masons. Yeah. The masons. Group of know-it-alls. They walk around with their computer and go like this and can give you the stats.

And they're always accurate. You remember I came in and I said, I know everything? Yeah. I got the know-it-alls. Well, listen, when you came here last time, you told me you was going with the Mavericks. Now you like the Suns better because Chris Paul listened to you. Which one is it?

To answer your question, I think that AD needs... Let me look at the camera. AD, get your fucking life together in the offseason. How about that? You always hurt. You ain't played 82 games yet. I think you played 82 games never in 13 seasons, 12 seasons, however many fucking seasons you've been there.

Mind you, LeBron is spending $2.5 million on his body parts in the offseason to make sure he's in shape. Meanwhile, you can't do shit but grow a unibrow. Get your fucking act together in the offseason and stop letting people down. People are depending on you, my nigga. All right? Thank you. All right. So for now, we'll just agree to disagree. Okay. Well, we will be right back.

Welcome back to It Is What It Is. We're going to go ahead and get into our last topic. Travis and Jason Kelsey made headlines for being the first brothers at the Super Bowl. But Travis also made headlines for apparently being cheap with his ex-girlfriend, Kayla Nicole. There were claims that he made her split everything 50-50 throughout their five-year relationship. Wow. But is that okay? Should you treat your girl? What makes them cheap about that?

I mean, teach their own. It depends on what he was doing. You're a female. Do you think he's being cheap? What's your perspective on it? I think it depends on what they're splitting. Do they live together? There's a lot of different factors, I think.

Were they married? You're right. Do they live together? There's a lot of different factors, I think. Were they married? You're right. And who's working, you know? Are there kids involved? There's a lot of different things. Everything's 50-50. Do you have a problem with that? Rent, electricity, dinner, out to the movies?

Do you have a problem? If I'm living with my boyfriend, then yes. You just can't say yes or no, can you? Then yes. Why is that a problem? You have a problem. I don't know problem i just kind of i'm a little old school like yeah you know i'd rather i think that listen i'm not i'm not i'm

just trying to get to the bottom of yeah because listen i bet you majority and he's a he's an all pro nfl player so the majority of any female gonna have a problem with that because he's the breadwinner especially if she came there for the bag. Yeah, she might have came That's a nightmare if she came for the bag. Let me tell you something though. If he was, if he drank Travis Kelsey,

if you drink Pink Horse Power, you wouldn't have to pay for shit. She would be paying for everything. I'm telling you right now, you're breaking this back with this, my nigga. You won't pay for a dollar for nothing, and it won't be a problem, neither. Go to pinkhorsepower.net. You won't ever have

to pay for anything. Well, she'll let him sleep on the couch? No. She'll be licking his toes and all type of everything else. After he hit up, after he drink this and hit her off, he won't pay for nothing. What's in that pink horse power?

After he drink this and hit her off, he won't pay for nothing. What's in that pink horse power? Go to the website and find out, but I promise you, every, listen, the females, I'm telling you now, a lot of females came up to me and been like, yo, Cam,

Tell them how this saved our marriage i promise you on everything i love they tell me yo come over here nigga tell them how this saved our marriage and they'll be like yo this just saved our marriage yo jesus you got what crazy crazy my nigga so you know it's crazy and not to get too deep because we're on travis kelsey but i took this one, and then one time I didn't take it with a female. She wanted me to take it, and she told me, and I never really paid attention to this murder,

is that, you know what she told me? And, you know, I'm growing. She's like, yo, I want you to take that because you kind of roughed me up a little bit when you said that. And I'm like, you want to be roughed up. I was reading the ingredients. My wife put that in my salad.
