Okay, we're back at it. Welcome back to It Is What It Is. I'm Treasure Wilson, aka Stap Baby, along with your host, Mace, and Cam. What's good? What's good, man? What's the word, man? How you doing?

Chill it, man. How are you doing? I'm good, man. I just want to know, like, what's the rule on being late? Because I haven't been late, and everybody's been late but me and then we just all brush off the I've been late thing.

So what's the rule these days or how's it going? Because I don't mind. The rule is 500 a minute late. You're probably at like 2,500. And you just keep using late days and fees and emergency. You. I pay my fees. No, no.

You got more that you just ignore. That was late today. No, if I owe something, I want to pay it. Because if I need to be old, I need to be paid. Nick, what do we got on the tally, Nick? I need to be paid. What's the say? What's that say?

I can't see what the shade's on. Okay, yeah, I'm with all of that. Yeah, yeah, you, yeah. I just don't like being the only one that pays, you know? You're the only one been late until today. Oh, my goodness. I was late today by a minute. It was a few times you didn't come, Cam, I didn't know about it, but, you know what?

That's when you said send an email. I told Nick to send you an email. I'm following protocol. You set these rules. What happens if Nick doesn't give me the pro? Nick, do we dock Nick? Because Nick never sent it to me. I don't know.

I'm just telling me. I just go, Larry. If I don't see it, do I get the doc Nick? If you want, I'm just telling you, you said that week. Okay. I'm for it. I'm for it. You said, send an email.

I thought that was the new format. Then you said you lost your phone. That's not the new format. I'm just trying to follow the rules. No, that was the format. Okay. Because I want a paper trail because Nick, you know, the mix up is just a The mix-up is crazy here, so it's the only way I can know, you know.

That's fine with me. I think we'll just keep a chart on the wall. No, let's settle all our debts. Okay, so I've never been late. Yeah. I miss that. Are you settling? I mean, today was the first day.

Okay, we give you a day. We get your day. I mean, if y'all want to pay up, I can pay up. Oh, she did money. She's getting money. She's getting money. She did money. If you need an avail, she gets money.

I got it. Don't act stupid. That first time I was not. Let's get the... That first time I really put up a fight. I had to put up a fight by first time. Yeah, let's get the paper cuts going this. I'm for it.

How much does Mace own... I don't even know. Yeah. It's tough. The thing you know why... No, I thought you had paid them from the BBC. That money been over with. The PBC was over.

The first two. weeks the new BBC Bing on. PBC Bing on. So you know what you do? Larry, I didn't know. He told me the BBC would cover it. No, I told you when it was up to. You know, this is what he does.

What Mace does is this. He doesn't, he won't even show up to the show. We're sitting there on Zoom sometime and just doesn't show up. And then the next day, he just be like, what up, y'all? No, Nick never sent me the link. He never sent me to link. Oh, that's crazy. That's why. You got a paper trail.

He got a paper trail. I need to see it because some days y'all say it's a show. I mean, if y'all going there, go there. Because Nick, some days I call you and I say, Nick, are we having a show? You said you're waiting to speak to Cam. That's what you tell me. So I'm only going with what I heard. Bro, how are you asking Nick about Cheshaw?

It's your show. Because I can't show up here myself. Stats says she's out of the city. She's somewhere else. So do I come in here by myself and just say, hey. fucking it is what it is. I'm your only host today. Guys, I'm always here.

There's nobody here today. I've actually done that. I actually done that before. I know I should do it. I was actually done that twice. I was just following protocol. I'm just following you. I was just following the brand idea, you know?

My thing is just if we're not going to be on time, I'm going to start strolling in here too. No, I was here. I was here. No, today, yes. I was late today by a minute. And I do take accountability for that because I was running. and it happened sometimes and it happened to be today so that's like if you guys want me to pay up

i've never been late i've never been late and then my thing you just been absent yeah but you've been absent and then what you say is i used an emergency day then you changed the emergency day from a year you said we're getting six of them and you changed it from a year to a season you said that's what you say what is it is a season it's a season okay how many we have in three four seasons so you get 20 you get a most worst for emergency i had to do it's a year i had to do it's a one two three I had three. No, I had three. No, but what I'm saying is we be doing like four seasons in a year, at least three.

Oh, we do? So you get 18, you get a month. I don't understand the seasons then. Sometimes it be like that. What are the seasons? How many shows are the season? It varies. Sometimes we'll go for...

Who comes up with the seasons? We just randomly do it because it'd be enough for a season. Okay. So if you watch a old sitcom, like let's say Martin, it'd be 24 shows in a season, 25. We'd be at like 70 sudden shows. You'd be like, look, the end of this season. No, that's good to understand, you know. I stand corrected.

I'm a, I'm a stick a little for details, you know. Me too. Look, we can move on. Yeah. We got a whole show about this. Stead, where are we going, Seth? I mean, well, first, we are joined with our analyst Trista. Trista, how you doing, how you feeling?

Trish, what's going on? What's up, y'all? I made a mistake. I brought the wrong jersey with me to Boston. I don't even know what I'm doing in Boston. I hope you didn't. I hope you didn't say you brought the wrong jersey because New York is not fooling with you.

Josh Hart himself said, take the jersey off. We don't need them kind of fans. I don't know Josh Hart said it, but I know Josh that comes on the show from time to time. definitely told you that. Yeah, I had the wrong job. I had the wrong job. You know, we can't be joshing around, man.

I don't think he can get into, I don't think he can get into MSG, so I don't think he's the one that's really the arbiter of whether I can wear the Nix jersey. But Mace, are you now fully a Nix fan? He's banned from MSG, absolutely right. What did you say? No, she said that Josh can. Sorry, May, I didn't know if you heard what she said, but you're right. Real quick before you asked Mace, Josh is banned from the garden.

I didn't know that till the other day Hackling Jalen Brown and Jason Tatum They won't let them back in the garden During shoot around Not even when the game started But what you were saying, Trish Sorry about that Are you fully now back

As a Knicks fan now that they're in the finals Because you said we We don't want you We like the Knicks fans Like you are with them Remember I told you I don't know if you watched the show every day, but yesterday I told you all before the game started

that I had the Nixon 6th. I told you this. I said this in front of Kim. It was here. It's okay to make a pick, but a question is we. That was the question. This is nothing wrong with making a prediction. She said, is it we?

That's what she asked you. You did say that, but is it we? You know what? You need to ask me why I got the jacket on. That's the real question. The real question is, why do I have this jacket on? Let me just show you what. Oh, my gosh.

You know, they might win what they want to win. You know, came over there trolling me. I'm an expert. This is my shirt. My shirt says, I'm a. I got a shirt on the day on my ex-work. So a little birdie told me he's going to wear that shirt. So let's go there, Statt.

Wow. I'm like, where you find that one at? I have never, ever, ever seen you wear this T-shirt. Statt, they sent it to me, Statt. I told them I'll get him my blessing. My blessing work. They won by 10. We'll get into it.

But, you know, in Title Town back something, and it's official. That's all I'm going to say. Now, if y'all want me to take the t-shirt off, I won't be responsible for the upcoming six games. So y'all let me know how y'all want to play this. Okay. Well, let's see if Mace continues to wear the shirt

or Nix gear in general throughout the series. We'll see if that remains consistent. But game won, y'all. So the Spurs lost the Knicks 105-295. And the Knicks keep their playoff winning streak, winning 12 games. So Trista, well. are your takeaways from game one?

Just a gritty fucking performance. Really? Like this is the kind of basketball that I was hoping I would see after game one in the Western Conference finals. It wasn't the best offensive game,

but it had all the things that we want in an exciting series. You had the battle between Wemby and Brunson. Brunson wasn't playing well for most of the game. He tweaks his knee. He tweaks his ankle. And then I think he said this at the end of the game after they won. Everybody thinks they're better than Jalen Brunson. Everybody is better than Jalen Brunson until it's time to be better than Jalen Brunson. And that's fucking right. Like he is so clutch. He

had 13 fourth quarter points. He had a crucial three to end that 11-0 run, 50% from the field in the fourth quarter when he was on two bum wheels. And then Wemby, I just felt like Wembe didn't really have it tonight. You look at the stat sheet and you think he has a good game. But what we saw with our eyes is that he was struggling out there. And the biggest reason is Carl Anthony Towns. What a performance for him. I thought he was the best player out there. He was getting crucial offensive rebounds and putbacks. He was moving Wemby outside of the perimeter. I just thought like he has so much heart. He's changed really a lot about his game, his reputation. He was the reason that they changed the offense for him to be the hub.

He also said after the game that he got Mike Brown to have them run more five on five after their series, last series before this finals so they could remain fresh. I just feel like Carl Anthony Towns has done so much to help his legacy and to help this next team win a title. Just a phenomenal. There's so many things that you can take away from that. But I'll let the rest of the guys handle that. Oh, yes.

When it comes to this game, I would have to say, you know, we did our thing, you know. It was a sloppy game when we saw the game. Why are you laughing? We did our thing. No, all jokes and sorry. It was a real sloppy first quarter. It seemed like both of these teams, it was. their first time in the championship, which it was. It seemed like they had really no composure.

They were just running back and forth. It seemed like, you know, they was just turning over the ball as the game started. But it seemed like somewhere in that second quarter, when San Antonio went up, I think about 10 or 9, that's when the game changed. It was a play when Dylan Harper, and I like the nickname that gave his dad, Five Ring Ron, you know, Five Rings Ron, that he started chanting in Jalen Brunson face. And that was when the game turned for a basketball player because Dylan Harper started talking to Jalen Brunson as if he was better than him.

And that's how he was playing it. So then that's when Jalen Brunson started going crazy. And I'm telling you, when I saw this game, when I was looking at the way the offense is being run, it seemed like the Knicks came out on a full speed and they're playing a tempo that's going to force Wemby out of the pitch. pitcher. And whenever you got a big man on the floor, you got to play that fast. And it seemed like they made it their business to keep this as an uptempo game. Jalen Brunson was getting a shots

that he wanted. It seemed like they was keeping Wimby to a minimum of what he could do. And this is what they're going to have to do in order to keep this series in a place where the Nix can stay dangerous. I said the Nixen 6, but if they win the next one, we might have to bring the broom out. I'm just going to talk reckless today. If they win another game, they're not leaving New York. I'm just letting y'all know. So make sure all you San Antonio fans can include it. If they win the next game, I might have to ask Josh to buy me a brook for real.

Bandwagon of this highest form. Highest form of a person that's my niggas is really close. standards. The standards are absolutely low. But that's what you get up here lately. That's what you actually get up here lately. Look, when I watch this game, right? Yeah.

And this is what I've seen. I'm going to go backwards when I'm talking about this game. The Knicks would have actually won this game by more points. This is exactly what happened, my opinion, in game one, even a little bit worse, when they played Cleveland and they was down 18. team in game one and they ended up coming back, coming back, and Cleveland never recovered the rest of the series.

This is exactly what happened. I don't know what's up with San Antonio, this whole playoff series, but you cannot do this with the next. Every series, starting with Portland all the way through Oklahoma City, through Minnesota, they have 15-point leads. Now, don't get me wrong, 14, 15-point leads. I'm not saying that's 20-25-point leads, and we know that today's NBA game is faster to three-point shots help you get back quicker.

But these are, you can't be letting up motherfucking 15-point leads in the second half and think it's cool, my nigga, it's just not going to happen. And the best play on the floor tonight is Jalen Brunson. That's just that. I don't know if they drug

Wemby. I don't know what the fuck happened. Wimby, you can sit there and look at the box and go and be like, well, he did, I know the fuck he did not do all right. Jalen Brunson, like Trish said, wasn't playing playing good until it was Kless time. Fourth quarter, the best player started with game one throughout all these playoffs is Jalen Brunson. That's just that.

I have to apologize to him, especially what he did last series to the Cavaliers, Tyrese Maxie. No, I want to count Atlanta. But all these dogs that San Antonio got, they were doing good for three quarters. But unfortunately, the basketball game was not three quarters. It was four quarters. Next thing I like to say is Mitch Johnson, you got our coach. You got our coach. Me and Larry were sitting there watching this shit.

And he's like, yo, Mike Brown is making all the right decisions. You know, it was close in the fourth. You know, I think there's up 11 points, 9 points, something like that, with two minutes left. And the Knicks made a run. And they was up five. Pardon me if I'm getting a look. If you put it like this, the Knicks were up five,

were up like nine, and then they cut it to five. on the Spurs. Mike Brown called a crucial timeout saying, okay, before this shit get out of hand, we got about five minutes left. Jalen Brunson had just scored nine points in a row. Let's take a timeout, get it back in Jalen Brunson's hands and figure this offense out.

Also, towards the end of the game, when it was about 35 seconds left, he didn't waste his challenge. The ball had went out on the New York Knicks. They challenged it, come to find out where on the Spurs, and then that also solidified the game with free throws because they, was already up six.

So Mike Brown definitely out-coached Mitch Johnson. If I'm Mitch Johnson, I'm sitting there and I'm saying I have to change whatever I've been doing. You think about the games that the Spurs played against the Knicks this season. When they came to the Garden, they lost by 25 points.

I'm talking about the Spurs. When they played in the Cup, they lost to the Spurs, I mean, the Spurs lost to the Knicks, convincingly in the Cup. The one win that the Spurs did have, against the Knicks this season. At home, they only won by two points.

Before the series started, I said that it would be a better matchup, Nick Wise, for them to play OKC because it seems like this season, the New York Knicks have to San Antonio Spurs number. Now, look, we have time to see what happens, but don't go down to New York O&2. And Mace is right about that.

Do not go back there, O&2, nigger. Now, the next thing I'll say, as far as coaching is concerned, We understand the Spurs played by committee. This person has the high hand. This person doing a second half. This person doing third quarter. Look, man, you see what the Knicks do?

Run the ball through fucking Jalen Brunson, man. I don't give a fuck if Alvarado hit three threes, nigger. I don't care if Shared Petty, get the ball in Jalen Brunson's hand. Shian Penny. Yeah, not Shepenny. Champany on our team Shammy Shammy

Shammy Chamette I don't get Pardon me Pardon me I don't get a fuck I'm 8 3 Shamming

I don't give a fucking Muffin Alvarado hit this man get the ball and Jalen Bruns his hands

And last with San Antonio falls apart from You got Champini with 15

points in the first half Only take two shots in the second half and hit one free throw

He was on fire the first half Dylan Harper was on fire the first half Why would you

go away from that Now swing the ball Rotate. Nah, nigga, ice cream. Yeah. Ice cream, man. I don't know if y'all know ice cream.

I don't know if y'all know ice cream me. Ice creamie, nigga, nigger, wave away picks. Yeah, I got this. Niggin, nigger. Chill murder. God, I got one. I got one.

Dance time, nigga. You're on the dance floor, nigga. Why go away from that? Swing the ball. Let's rotate the ball. Next thing. See, they told you,

y'all are way too comfortable with letting Victor Wimberiana run the office. Niggins gets the rebound and he starts dribble up the court and y'all niggas just start running down the court. He gets pockets picked, he's getting the ball swiped away from him, period.

I don't know what's going on and like I said, I haven't played basketball in a long time, but if my son, I know the game's changed. But if my son to get the ball, I'm running up to him. Give me the ball, bro. Yeah, he can't be spinning in the lanes with niggas, 5-11, 6-3. Dude, this man gets the rebound

and the rest of the team just be running up the floor. Nah, damn, come get the ball. ball. Now, my nigga, we can't. Did you see this shit is not working with him always bring the ball up? Now, don't get me wrong. It looks amazing when he comes up and hits the three like, oh, nah, nigger, nah, that is not the move. And Ms. Johnson needs to check that. You were too comfortable as a coach with that. Yeah, he got him spinning in the lanes and the Knicks was looking for that. They're getting all of that. Pause. We run in the other way. Nigel, as a coach, you guys say, hold the ball and let the guards come get it.

That's first and foremost. Next thing, Deer & Fox, you're the weakest link. Sorry, you're the weakest link. Three for 13. I'm glad you brought that up. Mace, you had your turn. You just the ninth line stuff. You had the ninth line stuff.

Tim, your takes are like 10 minutes. If you choose to give it. Okay, go ahead. Listen, it's not my fault because you want to wear a shirt and just troll. I'm giving you facts about the game. Okay. You can talk for as long as you want. It's your show.

I'm just giving you actual facts. about the whole game. I watched the game, so I'm giving you my mind as I see the game. I'm sorry if my takes a long, but all this shit happened. And like I said, I'm looking at the mistakes, but if we could come back to you, I appreciate you chiming and no. I want to seem

like I'm ungrateful. I appreciate the timing. But if you go on with we and all that, I need to break down what really happened from the other perspective. Deere and Fox, you're the weakest link. You are in the paint, open and you keep missing buddies, bro.

You are right there. I'm not blaming that on your ankle. I'm not blaming three for 13 at your ankle. Secondly, stop falling in love with the three. Y'all hit a three and y'all think it's three point time. Not just San Antonio Spurs the next two. They're troubleshooting from three as well. Better than San Antonio, but you hit two threes and that right thing.

Oh, three point time. Three point time. No, it's not three point time, bro. It's not. I'm sorry, it's just not. And it didn't work out for you. Fox, come sit next to me if I'm Mitch. Come sit it out because you're not producing

and you haven't been producing for a while. I know you're injured, but everybody's injured. Next, Sephora Castle, you got to stop being indecisive. It's niggas who be talking about you can make first team all-MBA next year. You could be one of these niggas like SGA. You know what SGA ain't going to do?

Getting that mid-range game and look the pass to the three-point line, he's going to turn around and he's going to shoot. I'd rather you shoot the ball to make the turnover and make a bad pass. Yo, you know, you, Mace, I never see so many niggas in the paint. Look the pass. I just never seen it.

I've never seen, niggas make their way in the paint. And I'd be like, looking around, you're in the paint. Referees, y'all need to start calling three seconds. Because niggas be camping out. They bought a sleeping bag and everything else. A canteen, all that shit. They just be living in the three-point land. But I don't know a dollar.

They don't fucking call three-second. like they used to. These are all the mistakes that they made. Champany on fire, hop on fire. You don't go back to them in the second half. Castle, you're very indecisive. The Air Fox, I don't know, your weakest link. Wimby, you look drugged.

And the Knicks, I'm telling you right now, the Knicks didn't even play good, and they won by 10 points. They just set an NBA record, most consecutive double-digit leads, double-digit wins, and the playoffs, period. year. Nick setting records on all you

niggins. All you niggins. So get it together or forget it forever. Sorry, I was long with it. Nope. Don't even apologize. That was good. I already watched the whole game and I felt like I'm rewatching. Yeah, that's the breakdown that I like. Yeah, that's exactly what happened. Yeah, it's crazy.

So I know you went through all the things that you didn't like from the Spurs. And Trist, I'm going to let you go first. But how concerned should Spurs fans be from this game one? And then what are some other adjustments that you would like to see that could potentially, you know, change gears for them for game two. Well, I'm very concerned because Deeron Fox hasn't been himself since that ankle injury. And I think Cam is 100% right. We're not going to just allow him to rest on the ankle injury.

Like he's got to be better. Other than Champaign, the rest of the spurs went six for 33 from three. This has been the Achilles heel for this team all year. They can get hot and they can get super. cold and cam is right like just because you hit one three doesn't mean that that's all you need to be doing for your offense the offense looks i wouldn't say like broken at times it looks very stagnant it looks like wemby is playing as a guard instead of being a seven foot five center i don't know why he's not in the fucking paint right like lobs dunks use your body go at carl anthony towns get carl anthony towns into foul trouble what the fuck, Wemby. I think he's doing this whole thing where he wants to be, you know, pulling up from three and hitting that big clutch shot. And so to me, that's the main thing that Ms. Johnson needs to focus on is like, Wembe, you're a center. We have guards. They're really good.

And the guards are going to do guard things. And we're going to play inside out. You're going to hit some threes. But that's not going to be all we do. So I'm very concerned. I think in general, you had the Knicks, like Cam and baseball said, didn't play a great game at all. There's a lot more room for them to put their foot on the gas, right? OG didn't play well. Josh Hart only have five points, but he was still a game high plus 22. Mitchell Robinson was a non-factor. So, like, there's a bunch of, Mikhail Bridges didn't even play that well.

You got role players that are going to play really well at the garden. I think they just need to figure it the fuck out. Yeah, I think you're absolutely right when it comes to how Wimby is playing. But I think more than anything, they need a better offense. Like the offense that they're running is almost like ISO ball. They can run a motion. It's like three other style of technique they could run that. Every time with the slashes they have, if they would just spread the floor and just pass

and go through, pass and pick, if they were just doing that and then setting up the high screens, they would get so many pick and rolls with Wimby to the basket. And any time that they got these guards that could make it to the basket, whether it's castle, whether it's Harper, like what he was doing in the beginning, every time they miss, Wimby would be right there. But the style of play that they're doing now is also going to get them in foul trouble because the floor is not spread. There's not enough space. But this is what I was talking about the last two playoff series when I keep talking about the importance of a point guard. When you got a point guard versus a combo guard, the floor is spaced. I don't know if you remember

when that time when Al, how you said, Alvarado first got in the game and he starts spacing the floor and then he goes to the basket. He swings it back out. Josh missed the three, but then somebody else hit the three and then they just started picking up because you got a floor general on the floor. And this is going to be important for this series. And another thing that I saw that was very vital with San Antonio is just they turned the ball over too much. When you got, when you get high double digits, I mean, when you start getting in the double digits of turnovers, you're not going to win against a great team, especially if that team can have transitional points.

And then Nick showed that last night. And what's the question? Yeah, basically what, I mean, you talked about the things that you didn't like, but what adjustments are you expecting to see? I disagree with what May said, and not in a bad way. I think, I just think that they too unselfish. You're trying to run the office. You got to realize this is offense is being passed down from,

And you don't have the personnel yet. They could grow to be the personnel of a Tony Parker of a Bruce Bowen of a man who Genobley and of a Tim Duncan. But this is the indecisiveness of Sephora Castle. You're running a plate, you're in the paint, and you're passing. And don't get me wrong, they're cutting.

And I see the ISO that you're talking about, but it drives me crazy when they're passing too much. Yo, bro, I understand. Yo, you're running the office. Okay, cool, running the office. Fuck that offense. Fuck that. Yeah, when you're in the paint, get a basket, bro.

Get up your, fuck that. Let coach be mad at me. And when you say ISO, you're right. When it's Wemby, it's like, they think it's just go over here. And like Wembe be at the fucking key bringing the ball up. What are you doing? What is that?

That's definitely a bunch of ISO for Wendy. I have to agree with that part. I do. But when I'm talking about when I see fucking, when I see fucking, no, it was cool when Harper was doing it because he was getting basket.

Yeah, yeah, absolutely. But when I see Deer in Fox, get past his man, and it's not defending within two and a half, three feet of him, and he passes the board, drives me crazy. Seferrin Castle drives me

all the way fucking crazy with that shit. You're in the paint, because we see him when he does shoot, he get a basket. But just plain times you get in the paint and you're looking for this wide open three point, or looking for somebody

who you think may be wide. open and you can just make the layups and you pass it. Sometimes you get the ball to him and they miss. Look, I'd rather you take a one-on-one contest this shot in the paint then throw it to somebody in the corner for three who's not shooting over 30% or 35% from three. That's just my opinion. So the answer to the question is what am I can, should, whether the Spurs should be

concerned about, the exact question? Should Spurs fans be concerned and then adjustments for game two that year? You're done right that you should be concerned. Because I'll tell you this much, bro. I said it in the last take. The Knicks are coming off of playing, I believe, four games in 23 days or some shit like that. And they didn't look good until the fourth,

not even the fourth, the middle of the fourth. The middle of the fourth. And this is exactly what happened with Cleveland. They was cold. Cleveland was up 18 points. And they went on some wild run and ended up beating Cleveland and Cleveland never recovered. This was looking like deja,

And I'm not going to say the Spurs looked bad at Cleveland, but this is deja vu. Do not get caught up and lose game too. I'm telling you that right now. I don't know what Wembe was doing. I don't know if the moment was too big, but that is a coach's job to get your superstar under control and run your office correctly. It is too, listen, I know I'm going off about it. I am not comfortable with Wemby getting a rebound and everybody running up the floor. I'm just not

I'm just not I've been plenty of times and like I said we know the big man has changed and me and mates being guards were runs sprint to a fucking son of forward

to come get the ball to bring it up not saying when we can't dribble not saying what happened but we've seen the spin around we've seen them all fucking him his footing look weird

like his legs look weird and shit on the spins and so and so for. But then again, when you got Josh Hart picking the Aaron Fox pockets, what else? I guess what do you do? What do you do? Stefan Castle is not a

traditional point guard. You know what I'm saying? Listen, man, they're in trouble. And they better fix the next game. And you're not and if they do one, it better be convincingly. Seriously. Because the Knicks already did what they need to do. All they need to do is when

one game is still home court events. And that's it. So they did their job already in day one. Yeah, it is looking a little scary. No, Macy said a sweep, which doesn't sound right, but. Man. At this point out. When you got Mitchell Robinson getting the Oop and the N1 dunk, it's looking like it

could be a sweep. That would be crazy. That would be crazy. You talking about New York will never be the same again. They get a sweet. Oh, my goodness. And the chip, might be a gentleman. Might be a gentleman.

They might get one. Who knows? We'll see. Last thing, just concerning the game, because obviously we'll see the breakdown as we watch the series. There was a moment where we saw how a fan ran on to the court, and I don't even know how he was able to do. I know it happens all the time, but finals game is crazy. And he was actually able to snag a picture with Wemby, and then right now it's like a trending discussion because they feel as if Wemby was smiling.

Trista, did you see that moment? Did you have an issue with Wempe's reaction, just your initial thoughts on that whole situation? It was wild. I was getting off the plane. I think I was waiting for my lift when that happened. And I mean, I just feel like we have so many more issues with Wemby than that. But a fan being able to jump onto the floor and take a selfie just shows they had no interest in really watching the game. Those tickets were insane prices.

I mean, you're talking about the peak of all basketball and you're trying to jump on the floor in the fourth quarter. I don't know what Wemby was doing. I think he was probably like, what is this dude doing? I don't know what he's up to. It seemed like he was more stunned than into the moment. Yeah. Any final thoughts on the fan jumping on the court? This just reminds me of, honestly, when I think it was Mike Tyson fighting Holyfield in the

guard and somebody landed like in a parrot shoot in the ring. He wasn't in the guard because you're in there and in the garden, but I know in Vegas somewhere. Yeah. Yeah. I just remember somebody landing in the championship fight. And you just know it's going, that's another sign it might be upset. That's what I was thinking when weird stuff happened like that. Yeah.

What I took from it is this. You know, I go to games. And they have people who actually sit in games, right, who don't watch the games. I'm talking about security. Like if this is the court, they actually, the whole game sit like this to watch the audience. Literally, if you ever go to the NBA game, go watch it.

There's people around the court. Seriously, they don't watch the game. They're trained for just to watch the crowd. But I also look at them people and they look about 81 years old. They look old as far. So, you know, it's like one of them things like, you'll let Grady still work here, man.

You know, we don't really have too much trouble. Let's Shirley keep her job. You know what I'm saying? You know, let Phyllis. Yo, you got to have young niggas who fast on the move, man. Because what if that was different? What if they had a bat, a little miniature bat? What if there's a knife?

You know, I'm pretty sure that they have metal detector, so it's not a knife. But this is, you know, it's dangerous. You know, it's dangerous. And I think it wouldn't be handled it well because if he would have did something else, you know, that's why they want to make him the face of NBA. You know, he knows how to handle himself in these situations. I know people like, he was smiling or whatever. But what are you going to do?

Push the nigger and be like, fuck out of it? Other people would. Don't get it fucked up. There's people that would. But, you know, this is why they're trying to, he has great mannerism and so and so forth. But, yeah, you got to get these older people. And no disrespect. I want older people to get their pension, they check.

Pardon me, any way you can work, how you can work. But when player safety, or people's safety is concerned at the events, you almost need off-duty Navy seal. This niggas is getting $100 million. These are $100 million niggas. Hundreds of million-dollar niggas.

They need better protection. Yeah, that's a fact. And he did handle it well because, I mean, we're seeing in football, even there's an incident with D.K. Metcalfe, he wouldn't punch the fan. Like, everybody reacts differently, which you shouldn't do that.

So shout out to Wembe, but hopefully game two, the Spurs can figure it out because the Knicks, definitely started hot. Okay. Moving along. So Steph Curry inked a new 10-year, $400 million deal with Chinese sportswear company Leaning.

This landmark agreement follows his departure from Under Armour and grants him global expansion for his signature Curry brand. So Tristo, what was your initial thoughts to hearing this news? And then do you think NBA stars are at the point where they can start making more from endorsements than from playing contracts? I mean, I was disappointed when I saw the news. news. I mean, not disappointed that Steph got the bag, but the entire career we've been watching Steph, he's been wearing those whack-ass underarmor shoes that nobody wants to buy.

They had no motion, even when he brought other players under him like Deer and Fox, pause. Even those shoes were terrible. The entire reason he left Under Armour is because the brand is whack, and nobody wants to wear them. And so then we have this generational shoe run from Steph Curry. He's got the retro LeBronzon from 2007. We got him wearing Adidas. We got him wearing every single like Kobe, like PEs, exclusives. And I was loving that.

And it's like, well, Steph maybe doesn't even need a shoe deal. Maybe we can see Steph at the end and the tail end of his career just get fits off. Because let's be honest, I feel Steph's swag in general has been diminished as a whole based on being a curry brand, this Under Armour athlete, just based on the types of shoes that you can wear. Because, you know, when it comes to athletes that are endorsed, you can't wear certain shoes that are competitors of the shoe brand that you have, right? So say, for example, Dame Lillard, you're not going to see Dame Lillard in a pair of Jordans ever publicly. He'll have to wear shell toes or he'll have to wear luxury shoes. So when I thought, okay, this is it. Now maybe Steph is going to sign with Nike or he's going to be completely a free agent,

which I would prefer him to be a free agent. I did not expect him to go to another obscure brand that I don't think anybody really wants to wear. And now we've got to watch Steph Curry wear leanings for the rest of his career. But congratulations to Steph because he can, I don't know, do a full golf line and have some other athletes underneath him. But to me, it was a disappointment as a fan. Yeah, I think when it comes to this type of branding that he started with Under Armour, Under Armour should have did everything in their power to keep them there, even though I agree with you that there's a lot of people that don't like the Under Armour.

I think they made a few pairs that people kind of enjoyed as basketball players. Like they had one that Maryland was wearing, that the team, Maryland University was wearing, Those was cool, the yellow, blue, and red ones. And they had probably like two or three, but that's a long time to be with somebody. And only got two or three good shoes, right? So they definitely need a better shoe designer. But when you got somebody the talent of Stefan Curry, you want him to finish his legacy with Under Armour, even though the money that they offered him at Under Armour, it seemed like Lee Ning just started with that from the jump.

Like, we're going to give you as much as they gave you from the jump. And maybe he had to do this over 12 years. But like I said, there's no way around me seeing that. If you got Jordan and a brand of Nike, you don't ever let them get out of Nike. If you got Shaq and Reeboks, you don't ever let them get out of Reeboks. And if you got somebody like Stefan Curry, you'd never let them leave underarmor because Stephen Curry is underarmament, not just the brand of wearing the shoe. when I think of all of the high school games, all of the branding that be on the high school,

his camps, everything over the years, that was the reason why people wore under armor. I don't think if you take Stefan Curry out of underarmor, you even have it on the AAU circuit. So there's a lot of things that's going to be changed by him not being on underarmor. So that was a big major loss for Under Armour. I think what you said, Trish, is correct as far as his swag. And, you know, you're not going to the concert. Like, you'll pass me my stuff. You know, let me get those.

But Mace made a great point as well. As far as basketball is concerned, endorsement's concerned. I'm talking about Under Armour. He put them over the top. I think it was Cam Newton was signing them as well at the same time. And I remember they put underarm, I think, close to a billion. It was some crazy shit a while ago when they both signed there. Cameron left Nike, I believe, and went to underarm.

Some shit like that, and they killed it. They had underarmament jumping. It was jumping for a minute. But I think this is a great deal for stuff because you think about this, right? It's kind of to your point, Trish. He knows niggas ain't going to go get the stuff. Underarmine kind of fucked his swag up as far as outside of basketball. like, you know, niggas be like, give me the new Jays.

Or you might be like, give me the John Morant's. Or, yo, give me them new KDs or whatever. You know, I'm talking about outside of basketball lifestyle. So I think he knew that. And he's like, let me go get the best money I can get. When you think about sneaker deals, right? You think about somebody like Anthony Edwards. He's getting a little bit more than $10 million a year.

Same thing with John Moran, right? I'm talking about young niggas with swag. They may want to wear their sneakers. John Moran thing's getting $11 million a year. Only people that we know is getting boo-cool fucking money is LeBron signs a billion dollar deal. We don't know a lifetime deal that says work for a billion dollars, but they don't necessarily talk about how much he's getting annually.

But who knows what a lifetime deal means? Kevin Durand also did a lifetime deal with Nike, saying that it's more than $300 million. But we don't know. They didn't give out specifics on it. We just know they're gonna be with Nike long time. To me, this is great for Stuff Curry, like I said, because he's not.

really big outside of basketball with his footwear and this gives him 40 million dollars a year which more than the young niggas is getting right now way after he probably won't even be playing anymore so we're looking at a deal to go to but he's 48 49 years old which most likely he won't be playing and he's still gonna be getting 40 million dollars a year as good as Dwayne Wade was basketball wise I bet nobody can even name the shoe he had because he went to China and did his own shoe deal for like 200, something million. Nobody was out there talking about, yo, you got the Dwayne Wade's because y'all didn't know about it.

Dwayne Wade said, yo, fuck that. Give me that chicken. I ain't got time to have impact on the culture. I need to have more fucking money. They were late names. Yeah, exactly. Something like that. It was the same brand, yeah.

Yeah, but that's my point. Some people learn it for the money. Some people learn it for the culture. Who are you? Well, that's a good question. Now I've got to ask you all. Say it was 100 mil less, right? Like 300 mil with like a notable brand that, you know,

influences the culture and has this big impact versus 400 mil with the foreign company. Trista, which one are you taken? Then Mace, than can. Well, what's crazy about that is that Shom Sharanya said that Steph had a bigger offer with a bigger brand and he turned it down. He had more money from either Adidas or Nike. but the reason that he turned it down was because he wanted to have control over the athletes that were underneath his brand. For me, I would have taken the deal from Adidas or Nike.

I love the Anthony Edwards shoes. I love what Adidas has been doing. Like if it was Adidas, I just, the fact that I now can't wear any other shoes that are Jordans or Nikes publicly for the next 10 years, I already made enough money. I like freedom. I think to me, just being a sneaker-free agent, you guys know how I feel about monogamy. I want to be able to wear whatever shoes I want to wear. And I don't want anybody telling me what shoes I cannot wear when I step out of my house. I don't know.

The 400, the 400, you have to go with the 400. I don't know what she's talking. You're going to get the money from Nike for more money. I like the idea of the idea of the 400 if it came from Lee Ning I'd be winnings I would design them better you know what I'm saying I think there's a we saw that way even people like Kanye right you could take um all of this access to make a shoe and make it a swaggy shoe I think that comes from the people I don't think the people that are making a shoe I don't think the people that are making a shoe that's have the creativity, but I'm taking the 400, and I'll bring my own team in to create a shoe that'll be really nice, you know what I'm saying? That's a tough one, man, because I'm sitting here thinking, right?

I'm always going to go with the money first, and make a great point. Make the shit as fly as possible. But it's tough when you got to go to school and they'll be like, yo, look at them with the leanings. Yeah. That school crowd is tough, man. See, you growing up and you already don't give a fuck no more.

You got to care about your kids, man. You don't care about what your kids wearing. That's what on you. You got to go in the house and your kids tell you, Dad, I'm not wearing those, man. The lilies. Yeah, I'm just not wearing. I tell you making it out town. It's the lilies.

Yeah, the lilies. Listen. And listen, and shout out, shout out to Nike. So I got, you know, I've been talking to Nike lately. Big shout to Nike. Shout to Ditas. Y'all can see the day. I got on.

Cam, you wearing Adidas? I'm designed a shoe for Adidas. That's fine. Yeah, just so, you know, shout to Farrell. And I'm doing the next fishbowls, man. So the reason I'm even bringing that up, because I remember Mesa's son said, what shoes can't care of? He's hard.

He's not going to be a new thing. able to wear no shoes if he's beaver with anybody. I told NEPCI went 360. I'm designing now. And all you want to talk about is going on with Nike, but I got something, and then at the end of the summer to show y'all as well. But, yeah, I just try to think about the family, man.

It's going to be rough for the family. Listen, I remember stuff, stuff, not stuff, Curry, stuff more, you got into a media argument with LeBron James. Because LeBron James said, I don't give a full. I'm not wearing no $17 shoes. Because Steph Marbury had tried to do something for the community, right? So with Steph Marlborough he tried to do it, it was a gracious, it was a gracious attempt on what he tried to do it.

He tried to make sneakers for cheap people, not cheap people. Affordable. Affordable. Thank you, Mace. Affordable sneakers for people who can't afford it. So the sneakers were like $19, $23, some shit like that. And LeBron was like, I'm never going to wear them no $23 sneakers. And what stuff did to me was noble.

But what stuff didn't think about was that even the niggas with no money want the sneakers with the niggas that they can't afford. They'll take them from somebody. They'll cry to their parents. They'll sit there and say, yo, I need these sneakers. These parents may often miss out on lunch. They personal lunch for a while. for their kids crying to get certain sneakers.

I remember God bless the dead. There was these jackets that was real popular in New York called hobo jackets. And they saw them in North Beach. And I couldn't afford it at the time. And, you know, your parents had to have money if you wanted one. And my man, HUD, God bless the dead,

wanted one real bad. Like, Blood had one and HUD had one. For my niggas, I used to them. They were the only two. Yeah, but their parents bought it. you know what I'm saying? But I remember hug, God bless the day.

He won a hobo jacket so bad and his mother went by him. This nicker took a chair. He lived on the sixth floor and threw a chair out of his bedroom window through the glass. His mother said, you really want to have jacket. Because, you know, I will fuck you up right now. But she went and got him

the jacket. That's how bad it is for kids out there when they really want something that they'll lose their mind about it that's what I'm trying to tell you so and cheer out the window yeah out in the bedroom window

mace yo I was like I'm gonna go home from here because I don't know what your mother about to do I'm about to take it on it but I've seen them later that weekend with the jacket but anyway back to what I was saying because I'm deciding if I'm agreeing with

Mace or Trista because you could bring a designer in and design them drinks and you could be like, I don't ever fuck, I'm paid. But you don't want to be outside, niggins. Like, Lang, Lang, Lang. Lang!

You, murder, what you? I know you ain't wearing those shits on your personal time. I see you got to do. I know you don't want the nigga to come up to you with the camera and say, what are those? No, that's.

For me, it's a fashion nester. Yeah. It's a hard choice, man. I think I'm going to have to take. Give me 225 and the good sneakers. I can live with 225. Give me 225 and the good sneakers because I can't deal with the public scrutiny. But I will say lastly in this topic closing up, right?

So James Harton had an Adidas deal, right? And there's Adidas deal started in September 1st. I think it's September 1st. All summer James Hart was wearing Jordans. All summer, because people take pictures, you know, James Hart got Jordans on at 30 sign with the Detus. Adidas is going to give his nigga $120 million. He got Jordans on.

James Harton wore Jordans to August 31st. He wore them just every day to August 31st, bro. Because he had to be monogamous, Trish. So he got to be cheated out of way, so to speak. until that date. Yeah, the master party did. But you can Google it, actually. And they'll show all the pictures of him wearing all the Jordans until the date he had to wear Adidas.

Wow. See, and Mace, you're the only one who chose the more money. You stand by that. I'm not mad at the answer, though. Yeah, I think of, I'm listening to what they're saying because I'm thinking about some music people that took the wrong sneaker deal. And they kind of messed their brand. Their brand. Yeah.

He's right. about that. Yeah, certain shoes you can't wear. Not in a fool. Yeah, if you're a cool digger. I think Steph Curry, and I don't know, personally, has accepted the dockers, tuck my shirt in and wear a belt.

Yeah, he's a different brand of guy anyway. Exactly. He can do that. Right, that's what I... He's not clubbing. Right, exactly. I think that he's accepted that. And it's cool for him to wear another hair,

you know, your cardiades may not match those. Yeah, yeah, yeah. If you're going in luxury, you don't go with that brain. It's just for Santa Barbara, Orange County kids are going to have them on Manhattan Beach. They don't care as long as they're shooting threes. Yeah, like, you can't wear the glasses. You wear, Mason, then have those on your. It's just not going to work out.

You're right. The leanings. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know if I could do it. But shout out to Steph, you know, at the same time, but price tag is nice. So shout out to them. Okay, so last thing before we wrap,

we're going to switch gears to tennis. So Serena Williams announces her comeback to tennis after nearly a four-year absent. So she announced she accepted a wildcard invitation to play doubles in next week's HSBC Championships, a 500-level event held at Queens Club in London. Tristo, what do you think motivates an athlete with nothing left to prove to come back

and how do you feel about her return? I think it's sibling rivalry, stat. She saw Venus go and come back and make a return to doubles. And she was pissed as fuck. She was in, I think it was the U.S. Open. Venus was in the doubles. She had this American, but very young doubles partner. And Serena was live tweeting it, basically showing how mad she was.

And I think that was when she decided it's time. Trish, let me ask you, don't mean interrupt. I did see that. I didn't know Serena was mad about that. Like, what kind of mad? What do you mean? Not like really mad, but, like, jealous. Like, you know, she was, like, posting a bunch of memes

and just kind of was getting FOMO, basically. Like, damn. Like, that's my doubles partner. I want to be doing that. Like, Venus was the, you know, the sister that kind of, like, stepped out of the limelight first. Serena was still at the peak of her powers.

So for Venus to make a comeback, just last year in the U.S. Open, I watched her play. I think the gal's name was Fernandez. And they were fired together. And the whole time Serena was like, you could tell, she just kept posting about it. Posting and posting about it. So I think she's going to make her return to Wimbledon. I think this is a Wimbledon tune up. You know, it's the same grass as Wimbledon.

And actually, one of my friends is going to be coaching her, who was one of of the top doubles players in the world. Her name is Renee Stubbs. She's actually out in London training Serena right now. So I think this is great for the sport. I think that you're seeing, you know, older players have to be, older players play in a doubles environment and still have the same juice. When I went to the U.S. Open, it was packed and people were super loud. And you don't have to be as athletically gifted in on your game because there's not nearly as much of that like volley. You know, it's a lot more strategy.

The endurance isn't nearly needing to be as much. So I think this is fire for Serena. My opinion is this is no big deal. I think this is a big deal if it leads to her coming back in singles. There's not a wrong way to getting out there. It's doubles. It's still on two. It's cool.

Not saying doubles don't mean anything. But I'm looking at it if it leads to her coming back, then that's more of a big deal. Because listen, if Serena Williams was coming back singles, everybody would be talking about it. She's, you know, it could be men or women, but definitely women. She's on the Mount Rushmore sports for women, definitely. And if you want to argue about putting with the men's one or just sports in general, it's amazing. But I think what's going on, if I'm pronouncing the name right, just that Sabalinka is out here killing.

You know, Sabalink is, I'm watching a hug. You know, she, I've never seen a poker face like this. in my life. She just looks mean. Like, I wouldn't even want to be in the house with her. She looks mean. For real. I'm a tennis fan. I love tennis. And, you know, Alcatraz, I'll be saying Alcatraz. They'd be saying I'm saying it wrong and shit as far as the number one male tennis player because, you know, we're sitting there. Alcatraz. It's something like Alcatraz. It's close to that. What is it? Google is Alcatraz. It's Alcatraz. It's Alcaraz. Whatever, Nick. I wouldn't know that. I don't got it either.

Yeah, yeah. I'll get track. I'm used to the jail and all that. I'll garage or whatever. You know what I'm saying? And you sit there and watch Djokovic, you know,

if I'll say his name correctly, he's been number one for years. And Sampers and all these people getting older and you see the new players coming in. And I think what we expected to was not happening, even though she won one major. Cocoa Golf is not winning as much as we want to win. She's not having the Serena run yet

Like Serena and her sister had You know, we're thinking when we see Cocoa Golf And I think she has playtime I think she's number four or five player In the country, in the world part of me right now But when we see how Serena came on the scene And we see how her sister Venus came on scene And then we see the next black girl Cocoa Golf

Be like, oh, we back We back, nigga And it has, you know what I'm saying? Dead ass. It's like, oh yeah, nigga, you thought we was out. We back. And it hasn't panned out She won one major

But she hasn't been winning the majors As fast as Serena have And I think people like Serena I said, well let me have a double Let me try little doubles, man See how I feel And I don't know if she could fuck with Svalenka

But, you know, I bet you It'll be fucking millions of people watching To even see something like that You know what I'm saying? To me, it's no big deal. Also, you know, she hasn't won since she had a baby also. So to me, that's probably a mental challenge for her

by herself. They're having one since I have one baby. I'm going to need to get one for the baby, baby. Let me get out there and see if I get one for the baby. Then we think about Naomi Osaka. She was the number one player then. You know, she took off for a while, had mental health issues, which I respect, absolutely.

But she was probably number one when she left. And she had a baby. And she can't get back. to where she was. So we see these other players signed in when we thought we had projections, we thought we were going to be watching Osaka and golf play

each other for the next decade and things just haven't panned out. So to see Serena come back, I'm not making much of it. I think that it's cool because it's doubles. Let's see what the doubles lead to and turns out to. Yeah, definitely shout out to Serena. I got to ask you, what does someone have to give

for you not to want them to be in the house with you because you were like her her demeanor or whatever like the way she looks mean and stuff so like what does someone have to give what does someone have to do for me not to be in house with like for you to be like uh-uh a lot of times stat i don't mean to be vulgar with you but i bust a nut i don't really want to be in the house with no bitches like that anyway man i kind of be one out of my own space that's how i know you like a chick right you make a chick right You get, you know, what's it called? Postnut Clarity.

I think that's what it's called. You bust another few in a year. Yeah, see? You know, Tristan, no, it's this cool. You'd be like, yo, what the fuck am I doing? But then you get that five minutes. You'd be like, okay. That happens for women as well.

Yeah, right. Right. So then you get that five, ten minutes, you be like, all right, what you want to watch? You watch a little TV, cool. If you bust that second night, they definitely got to go, if you're doing it a second time.

But if that's how I tell you. women, my female friends. If a nigga busts two nuts around you in less than 24 hours and he still want to be with you, he like you man. He liked you a lot. Tell me. Why didn't they give me the close up?

You make it the phone room? Y'all could do that for Knicks versus spurs. Y'all could do that. You know, maybe reacting to her comeback. Like, why y'all got to do all that? Because you probably don't know the faces you make. I know. And I don't need to know. They don't need to know either.

Like, just try to be, you know. I'm telling you, girls may not realize it because the ninger might be like, oh, he went to the store, that's cool. He's going to get a sudden, and then he's going for four hours. He's just thinking of ways to try and get a next nut up or how to tell you.

So what you're going to do? You're leaving? About to be out. There's always something from that. You said from your grandpa sitting in the car for hours, want to go in the house like hey let me let me ask you let me ask you all to let me ask you to a question before we leave this is more of a talk with flea question but i i'll figure i ask you real quick has it ever been somebody that made you act that you like so much that made you

act out of character you be like yo now i'm wow it could be something good something bad a little bit like oh no this ain't even me now i'm bugging has it have you liked somebody that much that you have to sit back and say, now I'm bugging. Yes, but that's rare. Right, right. No, I'm just asking. That's what I'm asking. You ever met somebody like that?

Yeah, it made you say, now I'm bugging the fuck out. I got a chip. Yes. You forget who you are and you're like, hold up. This is not me. And I don't like that. Right. And so then I have to completely disassociate

because it's like, yeah, no, now I'm too attached. And I got to completely avoid that and move forward. Then it's like, now you're acting weird. Yeah, I am. Because I know I'm okay. I don't need to have these feelings. They're good. Trista, thoughts.

Yeah, have you? Yeah, I mean, definitely, I would say more in my 20s. Right. No, definitely. Early 30s. Yeah. No, definitely. Absolutely.

I remember there was somebody at my job that I was, like, super into. And I just started like, oh, he likes yoga? Like, I'm going to start going to yoga now. Just to see if we get like linked up. He's like, oh, yeah. You like this food? Like, I love that food. Right, right.

You know, you're just like, what am I even doing right now? Like, I don't want to be in Beakram yoga. It's 110 degrees in here. Right. And I'm doing it because I want to be, you know, near his punk ass. Right. What about you, Mason? No.

Never out of character, always himself. I will say I love yoga, though, just saying. And that's what I really want to do, Mesa, to see if he would lie because I know him. I know I just want to see me. I just want to see if he were

telling him up here and lie. I'm not talking about adult mates but teenage race. I got it, man. Got it with the bullshit. The cameras are on. It's the cameras. Yeah, right, man.

It's not amazing to lie? I'll say for me, yeah, absolutely. I remember one time, I didn't have a baby, but my baby mom, I called to the house. She had her own phone line. You know, that's a big deal. Like, if you had a girl or anybody at their own phone in their room, like, oh, shit, their parents got money.

And I called her phone and a guy picked up. And I just hung up because I only left two blocks away. And I put a knife in the bag. And I ran there so fast, I probably got there in about 90 seconds. And I banged on that door because I know her mother wasn't on. I said, I ran there, houseport, and I said, where he at? She's like, what are you talking about? She said, that nigga picked that phone up.

Where's he out? He couldn't have got that quick as I got there fast. He said, came to phone lines at Jim. You ain't seen all the telephone sits in the building. And then I looked outside of this, like, nine phone trucks outside. I said, either you good or they jammed that line up, but I didn't find nobody. And then I used to go by there at nighttime and look and see if her light is on. I used to look up.

Why is she still up at one in the morning? She looked on her loving floor, too. So you got to be looking, counting the light one. Yeah, it's one in the morning. Fuck, she's still doing up with our own phone. See, we have different flashouts. Like, mine isn't like that. I've never been like...

No, but no, I'm talking about... This is a 17, 16-year-old. Yeah. No, but even then, like, I think it's always been opposite. Just overly... I don't know. We, we... What's the word?

We show things differently, because I'll either be overly nice. You'll piss yourself off, I feel like, and then notice, and you're like, man, never... No, when I got, as an adult, being honest, as an adult, I'm sitting and thinking. I may have got to the argument, but I ain't.

crashing out. I had a lot to lose since a young age. That'll do it. That changes everything. And that's a whole other topic of a discussion, which we'll get into another episode because a lot of people have a lot to lose and still don't care, but we'll save that for another day. But y'all, that is all the time that we have for today. And I guess in the comments, let us know if y'all have had a crash out or have acted out of character. We want to hear y'all's stories. But Trista, always a pleasure to have you on the show. This is you, Trish. Trish. Thanks for having me.

Mace. Throw away your Nick gear. Good luck to your Knicks. Throw away your Nick, yeah. We don't want you in New York. We don't want you in New York. All right, I'll see y'all next week. All right.

Okay. Thank y'all for watching. And as always, it is what it is.
