My nigga, I like fitted murder.
I like fitted murder.
I like, that's my man right there.
I like fitted murder.
I ain't saying I don't like suit murder, but fitted murder, that's my, that's my man right there.
Fitted murder.
I like fitted murder.
We might got to do, we might got to figure out
for the rest of the year,
like,
we might got to lay off.
I'm not saying we can't win.
I like myself.
You know,
I look kind of dapper than myself today,
I must say.
Tie and all that,
but.
Yeah,
you got a lot of,
you got a lot of Gator Blue on,
killer.
Listen,
yo,
murder,
murder,
man.
What's up with that Gator Blue?
Murder,
I used to sell water, nigga. I think yo, murder. Murder, man. What's up with that gator blue? Murder, I used to sell water,
nigga.
I think it's going off that water. Water,
nigga. They got nothing to do with
the gators, blue. Shout out to the gators
and all. I like fitting murder.
I'm not saying I don't like suit murder,
but fitting murder giving me
a flashback of what we used
to be.
So for everybody that doesn't know,
Mace, the next week or two,
or maybe three, I'm not sure right now, maybe
two and a half weeks, he's
on tour in Australia
doing his thing. So any
of our fans
Australia
or nearby New Zealand, anything like that,
you want to go check Mace out.
He's performing on Juicy Fest tours.
Is that what it's called?
Oh, that was crazy.
I want to know what you're a part of.
That's what I asked.
That's what you're a part of.
That's what I was checking.
Are you a part of something called Juicy Fest?
That's the name of the tour you're on?
He's talking about you.
Yo, episode one and you already going crazy.
No, bro.
I'm only asking the name of the tour that you are on.
Matter of fact, I won't say nothing.
Tell people where they can see you at if they're in the New Zealand, Australia area
where they can come see you at.
I see you pause when I asked you too.
I was just trying to tell people
where they can come see you at.
You're going to be in that continent
for two to three weeks
if anybody wants to come see you perform.
What was the name of the
festival that you're a part of
yeah
pause as Killers say
it was called Juicy Fest
and Cam's right
about it
pause
pause on
pause
I'm not going to pause you.
I just want people to know, because we got fans all over the world.
If they want to come see you, just let them know a little bit about the tour, where they could come see you at.
Yeah, the tour is called Juicy Festival.
And it's just sound crazy.
We're in Wellington tomorrow.
We already did
what was that called?
Christ Church. That city
was crazy. And we got about
you know, eight or ten,
eight to nine more to go.
That's what's up. Pause.
Alright, now we're back. I just wanted to
let niggas know because a lot of times
you don't get over there often.
A lot of us from America don't.
So might as well take a chance and take the opportunity.
If you're a Mace fan or anybody else that's on the tour,
make sure you Google the tour and try and check the fellas out.
Facts.
And that's super, super dope.
Yeah.
Well, it's glad to, I'm glad to be back.
And I'm happy that we're celebrating a new year,
but we're entering the final week of the NFL regular season.
So there is a lot on the line.
The Ravens clinched the number one seed in the AFC after a 56 to 19 win over the Dolphins.
How did you feel about Lamar Jackson's performance?
And then do you see him as a strong MVP candidate now?
I mean, I think Lamar is definitely a candidate is pause. It's hard for
me to say it, but when you get 321 yards, then you get 18 for 21. He played a spectacular game.
Got six rushes, 35 yards, you know, and only sackacked once. So, I mean, the front line is playing really great.
And to beat the Dolphins,
I don't know if I really could blame this on the Dolphins
because they played kind of cool, but this is crazy.
I think he definitely could get MVP.
I think after beating the 49ers and now beating the Dolphins,
he's definitely set up to get MVP.
Mason,
what the fuck are you talking about? The Dolphins
play cool. They got beat
56-19.
What you mean they play cool?
You've been over there sipping that
Australian water too long, nigga. You've only
been there four or five days, nigga.
They play cool.
Now you
on your G'day May shit. G'day, man.
Yo, they did not play cool, nigga.
Them niggas lost
56 to 19.
To 19, yeah.
What you mean they played cool, man?
You having too much of a good time. You told me
it's summertime over there, niggas wearing shorts.
You need to get back to the...
For everything that Tyreek Hill is going through, this is cool.
They really wasn't supposed to have any points.
Tyreek Hill didn't even get 100 yards.
I mean, you know, he has 75, 76 yards,
which is good for an all-right receiver,
not for top five receiver in the NFL.
Look, man, I'm going to let Mace catch up because he's 21 hours ahead of us, actually.
No, I'm saying when you got three people pregnant,
allegedly, this is as close as the game was going to get.
So you're saying that they're doomed moving forward
because Tyreek Hill's off the field activities?
Is that what you're saying?
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
I'm not saying 56-19 is good.
I'm saying because of what he got going on,
he would be lucky if they got 14 points.
This is a debacle, for real.
First of all, look, I don't like the sun shining on you like that.
You got the glow to like Bruce Leroy right now.
You got too much of a good time.
You need to buckle down and get back to what we've been doing, man.
It's too much touring.
I'm going to chime in and let Murda catch up on the next topic.
The Miami Heat, pardon me, Miami Heat,
the Miami Dolphins did not look good whatsoever.
They played trash.
Now you're in one game.
It's one game left in
the season to where I think
I'm not sure, but
it's a bunch of different scenarios for the
Buffalo Bills to clinch a playoff
berth, but they're actually only one game behind you
in the division. If they end up tying,
I don't know who the tiebreaker goes to.
I believe it goes to
Miami. But
the original question that Statt asked is,
Lamar the MVP?
Yes, he's the MVP.
Hands down.
Brock Purdy, last week, this week, Tua,
he showed up and showed out both games.
This game, he actually had over 300 passing yards.
The game coming up against the Steelers, I believe,
he's not even playing.
I've seen that earlier.
Pardon me, not today, yesterday, I've seen that.
He's not even playing.
That's how confident that the Ravens are
in him not saying getting MVP.
Of course, you don't want them to get hurt in a game
that's meaningless,
and they have playoff business to take care of,
but I think it's a foregone conclusion.
These are the two games that he needed to win,
and win convincingly.
He didn't just win, he bust ass.
They put the 49ers on their ass,
and then they put,
pause for Mace Go Crazy
and then they put
uh
um
the Dolphins on the ass
pause
against two
really great quarterbacks
and
Brock Purdy
was the leading contender
to get MVP
before
Lamar Jackson
walked up in
uh
the 49ers stadium
and took that shit
from that nigga
with all black on
yeah so uh yeah I know a nigga run up to you with braids on the 49ers stadium and took that shit from that nigga. With all black on. Yeah, so...
Yeah, you know a nigga run up to you
with braids on and all black.
Pause. He gotta get what he gotta get.
Yeah, I ain't mad at him. I think,
look, at the end of the day, that nigga
ain't even playing coming up Sunday.
The MVP is his.
I tell you one thing, though. I would not be surprised
if they find a way to give it
to Christian McCaffrey on the real racism without the reverse.
Yeah, that would be crazy.
Now, if they find a way to give it to somebody, if they find a way to give it to somebody outside of Lamar Jackson, would you call that racism?
What would you say to that murder?
Yeah, that's definitely going to be that's definitely going to be racism.
Okay, okay.
Now, what did you think about OBJ when he said that going from the top to the bottom was crazy?
Yeah, that's wild.
I mean, it's OBJ.
That's what he said.
He said it's the best team ever
he went from the top
you go from the bottom
to the top
it was something crazy
I just
I pretty much
had to turn the TV off
on that
yeah you know
it's OBJ
you know
people say
you're a little zesty
sometimes
you know
I ain't gonna throw that on them
what
what no comment no comment I definitely time. I ain't going to throw that on him. What?
No comment.
I definitely don't think OBJ is dusty
at all. And he just said it's the best
team he's been on from the top to the bottom.
I know you're going to ask
me too.
I feel like I know what you're going to ask me.
Is it the thing that
he likes to do?
What does he like to do? I don't know what he're going to ask me. I'm going to ask you. Is it the thing that he likes to do? What does he like to do?
I don't know what he likes to do.
Now you're making this sound even crazier.
Never mind.
Tell me what he likes to do.
Never mind.
You're just saying he has like a little fetish,
but like, I don't know if that's true or not.
What's the fetish?
I want to verify it first before I say it.
What I was going to say is that I don't...
What is a...
Nothing about a fetish sound masculine.
What's a fetish?
Yo, I thought about it.
I said, yo, last year, niggas got their nails done.
Niggas wear purses.
Who's going to be the first nigga to get eyelashes?
Who the hell is going to be the first nigga to get eyelashes?
I'll keep it on it, Murdoch. That's a great question. No, I'm going to be the first one to get eyelashes. I'm going to keep it on it, Murdo.
That's a great question.
I'm going to keep it on it.
That is a great question.
If niggas get eyelashes,
are you cool with that set?
No.
Because you're cool with everything else.
Nails is fine.
I feel like nail polish is fine.
Eyelashes is like,
I mean, if that's what you want to do, cool.
Everything is what you want to do, cool. If that's what you want to do everything is what you want to do
now you back now now you back yeah that's what i'm talking about i told a nigga you're not that
you're not that um liberal you ain't got your lashes done i was telling you all stage the nigga on stage.
Yo,
I'm going to keep it on it.
A nigga come in batting their eyes
in the locker room
is wild, yo.
A nigga come in
blinking at a nigga
all crazy
is wild, B.
That is a great
fucking question
and I'm going to be
honest with you.
This is what's going to happen. This this is what's going to happen this is exactly
what's going to happen Mace
you said it
and now somebody's going to do it
just to piss you off
nigga said oh nigga
nigga yo I'm going to get my
lashes done before the game
that was a great
great question my next question is this what does obj like to do
well okay so somebody said and he didn't like talk about it that he likes he has a little like poop
fetish so like i don't know we ain't gonna sit act like we ain't adults. What you mean a poop fetish? He likes to get shitted on?
No, he likes to watch,
I guess, people use the bathroom.
But like, I don't know.
Like, that's what this girl said.
I don't like to put out things.
I'm gonna tell you what I do know.
I ain't gonna tell you
what you heard or fetish.
Yeah, it is wild.
Like, the get off night,
not, you know,
to sit there and be like,
yo, could you go take a shit before we bone and then I watch you?
My dog get my dick rock hard pause.
Like, what are you talking about?
I need to hear the piss hit the water.
What is that?
What is that?
Listen, you don't know speculation.
Fuck the speculation.
OBJ has a picture up.
And let's go to the picture while I talk about it.
Getting tattoos on his ass with two men behind him tattooing his ass.
You see that, Stat?
Maybe.
Exactly.
You've seen that.
It is also.
That is for that.
Yeah.
I also did not say that.
So,
and give me a close-up,
please, real quick, Nick.
He like this, Murda,
with two niggas tattooed on his ass like this.
And listen,
I don't have a problem with BJ.
I see OBJ.
We say what's up.
And my thing is,
I don't care what you're doing.
Not after this.
Look, Murda,
I'm a journalist
and I'm reporting.
I'm not saying
what he,
you got a problem
with niggas do.
When you say
it doesn't matter,
well,
yeah,
you say niggas
is lying.
It does matter.
It does matter.
It does matter.
Like,
who named it on it?
Is he putting
a name on it?
Nah, shout out to OBJ.
Nah, your niggas always do that.
Niggas always say something and be like, nah, shout out.
Niggas say that he tattooed a Roger on his ass cheek.
No, I mean, these days it's different.
He might put his girl.
I don't know.
Time out.
I'm not finished.
I'm not finished.
And listen, I have no problem with OBJ with the things I'm about to go through.
OBJ also, OBJ is also on the football field after the game is over,
giving somebody a five.
And when they walk away, he's looking at their ass.
We could go to that video as well.
Am I right or wrong?
Cam, the man did catch
the man. Yo,
killer, the man did catch a
touchdown. Let's give him some
kind of, you know. What you mean?
Who caught the touchdown?
OBJ? He caught a lot of touchdowns. I mean, he did get
a touchdown.
I mean, he did get a touchdown in the Super Bowl
years ago. Yo,
Murda, let me ask you
this. All right, cool, because I got one more thing
to say after this.
Yeah.
I'm trying to look for some...
I seen you score 40 points before
I've seen you
shake a nigga to the floor
dribbling
I've seen you
sell 5 million records on one album
after any of those achievements
have you ever gave a nigga
a 5 and when they walked off you looked at his ass
and said, damn.
That's all I'm asking.
Yeah.
That nigga said,
you feel me?
The video nigga said,
damn.
That's what the nigga did.
The last video I'd like to go to,
and this is, like I said,
this is all,
we're just reporting what's going on.
OBJ is in the jacuzzi with six niggas chilling,
and out the blue, a nigga come up, pop up under the jacuzzi,
talking about sexual healing with shit drip with the jacuzzi.
Who's under a jacuzzi?
You and Dick's soup pours.
I don't be in jacuzzi with six niggas.
Listen, I'm not. I never saw that.
Well, matter of fact, we're going to go to the video right now.
When I get that feeling, I won't stop.
I won't get it. Murder.
And I'm not referring to this, but that's like,
that's the same way Shorty came out the water and come into America.
When she said the royal penis is clean.
Yo, bro, it's seven niggas in a jacuzzi
and you just chilling
and you don't know the eighth nigga is there.
Now, 30 seconds into the video,
a nigga just splash up out the water
and say sexual healing.
Now we could go back to what we were saying about
OBJ
you my nigga I don't give a fuck what's got going on
I ain't gonna be in that jacuzzi with y'all
but you know we go to Phoenix games
I might see you you my nigga it's all good
I ain't got no problem with that
Stat definitely don't got a problem with it
it matters to Mace he says I'm lying
when I say it doesn't matter to me
and maybe I am I don't know
you are lying cause if it didn't matter you wouldn't have brought it up bad to be. And maybe I am. I don't know. Yeah. You are
lying because if it didn't matter, you
would have brought it up. No, you
let's keep it on it.
You brought it up. We was talking about
the Ravens and you said, you
brought this up. You said
what was old BJ
talking about when
when he said top to
bottom, you turned the TV off
I say he do be a little bit zesty
I don't think he's zesty if none of that
is zesty to stat
what is she Gen Z?
I don't know
what is she Gen Z?
what's that?
I know a Gen Z I think you Gen Z
she's definitely Gen Z Gen Z is cool with Gen Z I I think you Gen Z. She's definitely Gen Z.
You Gen Z is in school with Gen Z.
I ain't got no problem with it.
I guess if Gen Z don't got no problem with it,
I think me and you Gen X murder.
Yeah, we.
Yeah, for real.
It matters.
It matters.
The more conversations we have are so funny,
but I do just want to note, yeah,
Lamar Jackson in that game threw for five touchdowns,
had 321 passing yards.
He had a phenomenal game.
Back to the Christian McCaffrey MVP race.
I do think it should go to Lamar Jackson,
but people want it to be Christian McCaffrey
because the running back hasn't had it in over 12 years, I think.
But again, Lamar Jackson has been playing phenomenal
and everybody counted them out.
So I think they deserve it.
But not only that, that's a great point.
I like that point because you know why?
Because somebody outside of a quarterback hasn't had the MVP in 12 years, you said?
When it's a black man's turn again to get it they gonna find a reason not to give it
to the black man and say
well a quarterback hasn't
had it in over 12 years
and Lamar Jackson already has an MVP
let's give it to the
running back this year
he beat the same team that
the running back that we're referring to
for our casual listeners
uh plays for the 49ers on the same team they just beat yeah listen murder reason and sometimes i
know we all know but the reason i was just giving a little backstory to it because we have a lot of
listeners that listen to us because they say as much as we do know about sports we give casual
fans an audience as well because
they say, you know how many girls be like,
I understand sports now, Cam.
I was just giving a little back story.
The running back that
people are referring to that should beat
Lamar Jackson is on the same team,
the 49ers, that the
MVP Brock Purdy
was leading before the Ravens
went there and beat them. If you beat Brock Purdy was leading before the Ravens went there and beat them.
So if you beat Brock Purdy, Chris McCaffrey got beat as well.
Pause.
So I think that both them players should be out the conversation.
It was wild.
All right, Murdoch.
I'll let you slide.
You on Juicy Fest.
You on Juicy Fest.
You on Juicy Fest.
Don't talk to me the whole time.
The whole time The whole time
That you're
The whole time
You're in Australia
You're on Juicy Fest
Leave me alone
You're on Juicy
You better leave me alone
All three two weeks
You go
You're on Juicy Fest
For two weeks bro
Leave me alone, bro.
There's a lot of gangster rappers on Juicy Fest, Cam.
I'm not saying their name.
Then why would they name it that?
I've seen a lot of them.
There's definitely some gangsters up there.
I've seen it.
There's definitely some gangsters.
I think that's the wrong name for that lineup.
You absolutely right, man.
Definitely, I've seen gang members
all type of shit out there, man.
Definitely.
If I talk to them niggas, if I talk to them,
now listen, not only the gangsters,
the niggas you talk about is my niggas.
If I talk to T.I., if I talk to Game,
if I talk to YG, them all my niggas, my niggas. Not just like my niggas. I talk to ti if i talk to game if i talk to yg i'm all my nigga my niggas
not just like right like my niggas i'm pretty sure they would be like word up why would they
name that shit that shit good point from both parties okay moving along the chief secured the
number three seed in the afc after beating the Bengals 25-17.
The Bengals are eliminated from playoff contention.
How do you feel about the outcome?
I don't think it's about the Bengals.
We knew where their destiny lied when Joe Burrow got hurt.
It's about Macy's team.
It's about the Chiefs.
Y'all shouldn't feel good about beating the Bengals
without Joe Burrow.
Y'all have not been looking good
the last four to five weeks.
And my question to you,
will this lead into the playoffs
y'all stinking ass play lately?
It looks like y'all are unraveling.
It looks like it's a bunch of
anger on the sidelines,
which I like.
I don't want to use the word unravel. I use the
word unravel because Patrick
Mahomes, we're not used to seeing him
yell at people on the sideline. We're not used
to seeing Travis Kelsey throw his helmet.
We're not used to seeing Andy Reid
bump players on the field
when he has a problem with them.
It was a decent game they won last week
which they should have won, but is this
going to translate in the playoffs?
This is the first time in Patrick Mahomes' career
that he's going to have to play a road playoff game.
What do you think about that, Mr. Titletown?
Well, I'm glad you brought this up
because Titletown is not built in the first 15 games, Cam.
You know, I hate to bring that to the table, but Titletown is not built in the first 15 games, you know.
So we won this game, but the real good part about it, I can't even say we because I'm kind of off.
I'm not really with the Chiefs right now.
I got a new team, but I'm not ready to disclose this yet.
So they were supposed to win that game.
I'm happy to win that game.
I think it's time to tell Taylor Swift to stay home.
I think that I'm going to wreck it.
It's time to tell Taylor Swift to stay home.
I don't like it.
I have the right to my opinion.
I don't like it. I have the right to my opinion. I don't like it.
That's what I'm going to say.
I want to say something about that as well.
I want to say something about that as well.
People told
I seen in the...
They paid me to tell the truth, so I got
to tell the truth. This man got three
receptions, 16 yards.
Come on. Come on. Come on.
Kelsey, come on, man.
This is definitely a come on
my nigga. And I don't know if we can say
nigga to people
non-black, but this is definitely
a come on my nigga.
We could call people that's non-black
nigga.
A lot of times we want to be called nigga, nigga, and feel accepted. We could call people That's non-black nigger That's my nigger
A lot of times
They be wanting to be called
Nigga nigger
And feel accepted
Yeah Kelsey is my nigger
But if he
You know what I'm saying
He start falling in love
And only getting 16 yards
I can't go with that
This is feeling
Russell Wilson like
You know what I'm saying
And I don't like it
I don't like it
What you think What you think Stat You know what I'm saying? And I don't like it. I don't like it.
What you think?
What you think, Stat?
What do you think?
I mean, y'all know I'm all for love,
but it just might be
a distraction. And Mace, I think
I agree with you today.
That's the first time.
Woo!
Yeah, I was giving a round of applause for it.
It's called growth.
It's called growth in 2024.
I got to bring that dog out.
I'm going to be honest with you.
You don't got to agree with that nigga.
He be bugging half the time.
That's what I was going to say.
That's exactly what I was going to say before he asked you the question.
Mad people question mad people
mad people
seen you last week
and abandoned the Chiefs
and all the Chiefs fans are pissed off with you
in the comments
on our social media
on our feeds
they have a real attitude with you
Mesa said don't come running back
when shit go back our way
they seen what you said last week
and they are very upset with you
trying to abandon
the Chiefs last minute.
I want you to know that
the listeners heard what you said.
You just reiterated
that it's not your team again.
So now you double down on it.
Pause.
And they're going to,
they're really upset with you.
They had a real attitude
and they, you know,
they, I'll sum it up with
them saying,
don't run back
and don't come back here.
And even makes talk about title time and floating around lately.
And then if it end up back in Kansas City, you back there, they mad at you about it.
I just wanted to let you know the Kansas City people have an attitude with you about that.
Well, I'm happy for them.
Tell them tomorrow I will be disclosing
my new team
so you want to see the episode
tomorrow
looking forward to how long is this team
going to last for another week or two
like how long is this going to last
what
who knows he that no don't tell and those that tell don't know okay okay here we go well we are staying
tuned okay so this next part is an important conversation for both teams so first the
Steelers got a much-needed win over the Seahawks, winning 30-23. Do you think the Steelers can make it to the playoffs?
There you go, Steph.
Of course, this is her topic.
I knew this was a Steelers.
They make it in here every week.
Shout out to Mike T.
Listen, the Buffalo Bills, I was looking at it earlier.
Do you know what I'm going to do?
I'm going to get, and this is the last week coming up,
but I'm going to try and get it.
I'm not going to be able to get it by tomorrow because Tito ain't here.
But they have all these scenarios on if this team loses,
this team can make it.
If this team wins and this team, pardon me,
this team loses and this team loses and this team wins,
then they could get in.
Is that a scenario for the Steelers?
Because if, so even if they win, other teams have to lose.
So the Steelers have to win this game,
but the Bills have to, yeah but the Bills have to lose.
So OJ, shout out to you, but I'm not on your side this weekend.
Or I think it's the Titans.
Yeah, the Titans have to beat the Jaguars for the Steelers to make it.
So it's like a whole bunch of different scenarios.
That's why Saturday is very important.
So the whole thing about this stat is you're asking us if you think the Steelers are going to make it.
And it's not even about if they win the game.
A bunch of other shit has to happen.
But like the best scenario.
Well, no.
And that's why it's going to tie into the next question as well.
Because the best scenario would be for the Steelers to win this game versus the Ravens.
That's why it's a pretty big question.
Because we don't know if the Ravens are going to sit their starters or if they're going to have them in. And then that's
going to bring me to my next question about, you know, Texans
versus Colts because we don't really touch them much, but that's
also an important game. So I'm just wondering
overall. You always got a horse in the
race with these bum ass niggas, man.
Bum is crazy!
Y'all, I'm so excited!
I'm so excited!
You got ties to all these people these teams
listen man
anyway
I would really like the Steelers
to win
because it's two things
the Ravens are solidified
getting in
Lamar Jackson's not playing
and I want Mike T
to finish the season
with a winning record that's the reason I want Mike T to finish the season with a winning record.
That's the reason I want the Steelers
to win. Outside
of that...
Is that being racist, though?
What is that?
What you mean exactly?
Just want Mike Tomlin to win
because he's black?
Well, look, at the end of the day, Lamar Jackson's
black. He got the MVP.
Yeah, I mean, whatever. It's all black Jackson's black. He got the MVP. Yeah.
I mean, whatever.
It's all black power, nigga.
If you want to put a fist up, I will.
Whatever you want me to do.
Nigga, yeah.
Whatever.
Yeah, whatever.
Listen, man.
Listen, if you ask me my favorite coach.
I'm just making sure.
Because, you know know when I bring reverse
racism up
I want people to know where it come from
you know no listen at the end of the day
Mike Tomlinson
because he you know he hasn't had
Ben Roethlisberger a great situation
he still finds a way to win
my favorite coach period
basketball football whatever
sports you want to name is Greg Popovich.
Is that reverse racism?
It might be.
I know.
I knew it.
I knew it.
It's like when it's like you like Duke.
It's like a black kid that only like Duke, you know?
What's that mean, Mason?
What does that mean?
He don't really like black people there's some black people that don't like black people
then there might be
people that you know that think that way
there's white people that don't like white people
there's a bunch of same races
that don't like the same
race they are and it may not even be
about race it may just
be about their fucked up
individual look okay i i i i ain't gonna say their name i know a white female to get mad when i call
a white i'm not white you're white yeah yo no i'm not like kanye if you call him black it's like
kanye if you call him black he don't like that if you call him black. He don't like that. Right.
You know, these white girls are like, Kim, could you stop calling me that?
I'm not doing a fly.
I'm not like, yo, white girl.
I'm talking about when we talk about race or anything else.
Yo, I'm not white.
I said, what are you?
I'm Italian.
You're white.
Look, I'm black.
Jamaicans are black.
Haitians are black.
Africans are black. Now, are black. Africans are black.
Now, we could dice them up into
different shit, but we
black. Italians
don't consider theyself the same white as
every other white. And listen, I'm not
disagreeing with the Italians.
I don't want no sauce. I don't got no
time to have no beef with any
ethnicity.
This is giving me a lot of Kanye
vibes, Cam. I think we
should. No, no.
We should leave this alone.
You could go satire all you want.
Am I black or am I brown?
Nigga, you black.
That's that, Murda.
You black.
Your hat is brown, nigga.
You black, nigga.
Listen, not just to wear it.
Now you want to go KRS-One.
Shout out to the t-shirt.
I'm not black, I'm white, I'm brown.
From the boogie there.
You do what I was doing.
Look, if you did technical,
white people ain't white neither.
It just,
it just,
listen,
when you go fill out your,
your license,
what does it say on there?
African American?
White?
My license,
actually,
I don't think it have anything on it.
Okay.
Check it out.
I don't know.
I haven't, I bought my first
license I never even took the test I cheated
on that shit too I had it for
20 something years niggas from
polo grounds were selling licenses I had
a nigga boy bought my license from a nigga
in polo grounds in 97
yo I cheated
my way through a bunch of shit did it have your real name on it
nah my license
is official.
It's official.
You paid them niggas $600.
They did all the shit for you.
You didn't have to go take the test.
They came back.
What they did was back then,
they came back with the paperwork
that you passed the test.
So you take the paperwork,
then you go take your picture
at the DMV.
So I got my paperwork,
then I go take my picture
like I did all the work with it.
And now I got my license. Same license for years.
I ain't never have to
read out his real name.
Who the put me on
in them niggas? Polo ground niggas.
You ain't buy your shit?
You ain't take the test. We always buying them
shits.
Yo, Murder, you took the test in New York.
You took the license test.
You took the test?da, you took the test in New York. You took the license test. You took the test?
Killer, you going to get wild niggas locked up, yo.
Nah, them niggas, if the statute of limitation ain't up on trying to get a license, it's crazy.
That was 97.
I have a license in 97.
First of all, you was a nigga in jail doing three days for doing 103 miles an hour in Virginia.
You was about to do two months for speeding.
Where was your license at that day when they had you locked up and you was bugging out in Virginia talking about, get me out of here.
Did you have your license that day?
I actually did.
I did.
So why was you in jail
for three days?
Just for speeding?
They were racist.
They were racist.
They were racist.
They're real racist
oh shit
alright
well listen
I ain't got no problem
saying
I got my GED
cheated on that shit too
bought my license
I stand here
before you today
a great human being man
a humanitarian actually a philanthropist a mogul A great human being, man. A humanitarian, actually.
A philanthropist.
A mogul.
A tycoon.
The list goes on and on and on.
All from beating the system.
If you want to go the right way,
listen, man.
I'm looking at my license.
It doesn't have a color on it, though.
It doesn't.
Because your face is the color now.
What
year did you get your license?
I don't know. Different states have different stuff.
We don't even got to go into the
license. When you go fill out a test when you're in
school and they ask you
this, that, and the third, this, that, I'm going to be honest with you.
I'm going to be totally honest with you.
And I know we got to get back
to our topics.
We already a few minutes in.
I'd rather fill in black
than African-American
because Africans don't even
fuck with us.
Wow.
Because they don't.
And Americans do?
Well, you're American, Mace.
You're born American.
When you go to the Olympics,
and when I say African American,
you go over there,
they call us Yankees and all that.
They fuck with us,
but we're not from the motherland.
We're from America.
So I would say I'm a black American.
When we go to the Olympics as a country
and somebody black is fighting from the United States,
you don't say African American.
You say American.
You don't even put a color on it.
It's an American fighter fighting a European fighter
or China or Japanese or anything.
You're known in the Olympics as an American.
It doesn't matter what color you are.
You're an American fighting against somebody from Cameroon or Senegal, whatever.
The point being is they don't categorize it when it's world competition,
but when it's other shit, it needs to be categorized.
So I consider myself a black American.
I don't consider myself African American
and shout out to all my niggas in Africa, much love,
but y'all don't consider us real Africans.
Y'all don't.
That's that.
That's that.
Well, my opinion on the Steelers making it to the playoffs,
I'm super optimistic.
I'm hoping that the Ravens,
you know, sit their starters and I'm hoping that their second round kind of just relaxes a little
bit so we can make it. I think that the Bills are going to lose to the Dolphins hot take, but I want
to say it on here. So if it works out, that's great for me. If it doesn't, it is what it is
against the Seahawks. I think they played a really good game. I think Mason Rudolph is doing great at the quarterback position.
We've won our last two games, which people weren't expecting.
Even though we have faith in Kenny Pickett, Mason Rudolph is getting the job done,
and that's keeping Mike Tomlin's winning record, and that's what we want to see.
So shout out the Steelers.
I'm real optimistic.
I'm waiting for Saturday.
And that moves us to our next set of questions.
So the Colts, Texans, and Steelers are all nine and seven and had their games
this Saturday.
The Raiders lost to the Colts 23 to 20 eliminating the Raiders from playoff
contention and the Texans beat the Titans.
Who do you see winning this weekend?
The Colts or the Texans?
CJ playing? Yes. He honestly, or the Texans? You tell us.
Is CJ playing?
Yes.
He honestly, like, he has to.
Yeah, if CJ's playing, I got to go with the Texans.
But I would want to hear what you say,
but I wanted to put my best theory out there
before you say that.
My opinion is,
and to me,
Stat probably has
the most knowledge
on this situation.
If you ask me.
She's got inside scripts
and everything else.
All right,
keep it up,
we'll blow it up.
Keep it up.
We'll blow the whole shit up.
Keep it up.
Keep it up.
Oh, oh, oh, now. Blow the whole shit up. Keep it up. Keep it up.
Oh, now.
I was wondering where that came from. Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.
Anyways, Cam, continue your thought.
I was going to say the same shit Mace was saying.
I'm going to go with Ohio CJ Strout,
but, you know, not being funny or nothing,
like, the Colts have, you know, I haven't, to be honest with you, I haven't been keeping up with the Colts consistently, but week in and week out, for some reason, like, even like this week, they're still in it. because of all the controversy they went through with injuries with their quarterback position.
It's not easy to be where they're at
or the position they're in pause
with the injuries they had at the quarterback position.
So this is a game I probably want to watch more than anything
because these are two young teams
fighting to get into the playoffs
and it all boils down to this week.
So it's very interesting.
It'll be a very interesting game to watch.
Right.
So my analysis,
I guess this is a tough one because I think for the Texans to win this,
CJ Stroud has a lot to prove.
Cause if he can,
if he can beat the Colts,
it's like,
okay,
you're him.
Cause he's the only rookie quarterback to get this far among the ones that
were just drafted last year.
But based off of the stats earlier in the season,
the Colts did beat the Texans and their running back,
Jonathan Taylor is 5-0 against the Texans.
So I'm going to put it in their hands,
but I think anything is possible.
I think the Texans have a lot to prove right now.
And this is one of those games
where CJ can be like, yo, I'm him.
So that's my thoughts.
We'll see what happens on Saturday.
I think the Colts are going to win
based off of the stats that I know.
But realistically, I'm rooting for,
like, I'm always rooting.
I feel like I'm always rooting for the rookie.
Like Gardner Minshew has been in the game for a little bit longer.
It'd be really dope to have that moment for CJ Stroud to be like,
yeah, you know, I got us to the playoffs.
So that's kind of where my head's at.
But realistically, I think the Colts are going to win.
You always voting for the rookie stuff?
Yeah.
I feel like any time we have conversations,
I'm always going for the younger team because I see potential and I want to
see people win.
I don't want to see the same people win all the time.
That's not fun.
So now you want to see Jacksonville.
Um,
I didn't say I want to see Jacksonville lose,
but at the end of the day,
yes,
that's my hometown,
but the Steelers are still my team.
The Steelers are still my team. The Steelers are still my team
regardless. I just want the Bills
to lose. Jacksonville got to
lose, right? Yes.
The Titans have to win. I think that, but
it can be the Bills, the Bills lose
or Jacksonville lose.
I prefer the Bills to lose.
I
said what I had to say, then I've been
tuned out. I already know
what's going on
a lot of favoritism
I don't think so
I've just been said I wanted the Bills
to lose
because that gives us a better
opportunity to move up
I'm talking about one game
Indiana and Texas
you would rather Jacksonville lose
yeah who would you rather lose One game, Indiana and Texas. She would rather Jacksonville lose.
Yeah.
Who would you rather lose?
One of the other teams.
Jacksonville.
So Jacksonville's your team?
Of course it is.
No, I'm saying I thought you were from Jacksonville.
I thought you were from Jacksonville.
I like when they Jacksonville faces. That's why I don't want them to lose.
Okay.
All right, Mace.
Heard you, heard you, heard you. Okay, last one before we go to break.
The Eagles lost to the Cardinals
35-31, which was
pretty unexpected. Do you still
see the Eagles as a strong team
in the NFC?
Just like that.
I do.
Sorry.
They're definitely getting out of the first round.
I'm not thinking they're going to get
to the first round and get
clipped.
I'm looking. I'm starting to look right now.
And this is why I really
I'm so mad
we need to
we should have been on top of this
I know we just coming back
for season three off break
and everything
but the scenarios
a lot of scenarios matter
right now
this week coming up
I'm looking right here
and I'm so mad
because I was watching it last night
and I should have mad because I was watching it last night,
and I should have wrote it down.
But the Eagles and Cowboys are tied.
I have to see who are they playing stack coming up this week.
Because whoever wins out of the Eagles and Cowboys, or if they both win, or if they both lose,
we need to know who has the exact,
who's going to,
who, and even looking at the
San Francisco 49ers,
they're only a game ahead of both of them.
Yeah, so it's weird because the Eagles play the Giants
and the Cowboys play the Commanders.
Right, and who do the 49ers play?
Let me check.
And if they all finish with the same record,
which they all possibly could,
who's going to get the bye in the NFC?
That's what I'm saying.
Yeah.
Well, the 49ers play the Rams.
The 49ers already clinched their spot.
Yeah, but who's going to get the bye?
Yeah. And that's what I'm saying. I'll answer the question. so yeah but who's going to get the bod and yeah
and that's what
I'm saying
I'll answer the
question I would
I would have
liked to go into
more detail
because
this matters
you know the
team with the
best seed in
the NFC
gets a bod
the Eagles
have not been
looking good
as of late
all year long
even when they
were winning
I was telling
our audience
and people who were listening that the games when they were winning, I was telling our audience and people who were listening
that the games that they were winning were close games.
They could have went either way a bunch of times
earlier in the season.
And then it kind of-
At least eight of those games.
Right, exactly.
So it kind of caught up to them.
I think they're still a good team.
I think that these losses,
I think a lot of teams now,
I'm talking about the 49ers,
not a lot of teams, the 49ers,
the Eagles, Miami,
these are losses that you should
be happy about getting now
instead of getting them in the playoffs.
I think they get a taste of losing, pause,
and now it gives everybody more momentum
saying we don't want to feel like that
because if we lose again,
our season is over in the next couple weeks.
It depends on who the Eagles play,
what it's going to look like in the playoff picture,
but as far as them being a good team,
I think they're a good team,
but is it going to translate in the playoffs again
for them this year is the question,
and I don't have the answer to that.
What I will say is this.
I don't know.
The AFC is always tough.
I wouldn't want to,
and I know we was focused on the Eagles,
but I just want to jump off of that pause for a minute
and talk about the AFC real quick.
Josh Allen is very dangerous in the playoffs.
Patrick Mahomes is very dangerous in the playoffs.
We're going to see what Tua does.
Lamar Jackson doesn't have the best record in the playoffs.
But I will say this.
If some type of way that the Baltimore Ravens do go to the Super Bowl, the NFC might as well just pack it up because Lamar Jackson is 20-1 in his career against the NFC.
The NFC has no answer for Lamar Jackson whatsoever.
that the Baltimore Ravens make it to the Super Bowl,
it doesn't matter if the Eagles are good,
the Cowboys are good, the 49ers are good,
or whoever else makes it,
Lamar Jackson eats the NFC up.
Pause.
That would not be good for anybody in the NFC.
That's what I will say.
Eagles, Cowboys, 49ers, whoever you like.
You better hope Patrick Mahomes, Josh Atwood,
them other niggas get that nigga out of there
before he gets to the Super Bowl.
But right now, to me, NFC, AFC, either or,
the Baltimore Ravens do look like right now
they're the best team in football.
Another team that I will say...
Go ahead, Murdom, I'm sorry.
Yeah. This is
a wild conversation, but
what if the Lions
win it?
What would that do?
Listen, we didn't talk about that.
That was a hell of a game
last week. A hell of a game.
I watched that whole game.
They cheated to fuck out the Lions, watched that whole game. They cheated the
fuck out the Lions, the Dallas Cowboys.
They cheated the fuck out the
motherfuckers. I don't know if you've seen the game or not,
Murda. The niggas checked in,
went to the ref. The ref talking about they
ain't seen it. You know, we'll use basketball terms
for people who don't, you know,
know football. They subbed
in and the ref said that they didn't sub in.
They said, ill-eligible receiver.
There's a lot of little technical shit.
The moral of the story is they both went up to the referee,
scored a touchdown, and then they sit there and say,
it didn't count.
What I do say is this.
I like the Lions and the NFC maybe more than Philly, the Cowboys.
And I won't say the 49ers because of what just happened to them.
They felt that they should have beat the Cowboys.
I like they coached.
They coached that nigga.
I don't know if you see how angry he was after the game.
He was pissed the fuck off.
He didn't, yo, I like that nigga.
That nigga got tenacity.
I think they're going to take that game with the Cowboys
and use that as motivation going into the playoffs.
Because, look, they did really well on defense.
They, you know, outside of a hand-grabbing Dak Prescott
and sacking him for safety,
CeeDee Lamb broke free and got a 92-yard touchdown
because the person guarding him fell.
Outside of that, they played really, really well defense.
And they sat down there and ran the two-minute drill to perfection
to get cheated like that.
The end of the game was just preposterous.
But I do like the Lions moving.
And I think they needed that going forward, Murda.
I'm not going to lie.
I think they really need that.
Because if that didn't happen, they would go into the playoffs
and probably lose first round.
Maybe so.
But that's a great analysis.
But what I'll say is this.
That coach is gutsy as fuck, bro.
Because Dave sat there and got the touchdown.
He could have kicked the extra point
to tie the game up.
And then, you know, it was still time left.
The Cowboys had three timeouts left,
23 seconds on the clock.
They could have gotten a field goal range.
They could have just kicked the field goal for 60 yards.
They could have did it in 23 seconds,
but it wasn't guaranteed.
That coach said, we winning or we losing.
It was three different,
there's two penalties,
three different tries, he said
we're going for two. After the
two penalties, he'd be like, you know what, let's kick the
fucking extra point, get
our defense to stop him and go into overtime.
Nah, three plays in a row
that man went for a two-point conversion
down one point when he
could have kicked that
nigga's gutsy as fuck and i really think people should be where you too oj uncle o oj simpson
trying to shit on the lions beware beware oh beware that is a dangerous team going into the
playoffs after what just happened to them all right there's a lot to look forward to this
weekend and we're all going to be tuned in regarding football.
But we're going to go to break and when we return,
we will talk about the Clippers versus the Suns.
Don't go anywhere.
She call this thing about toxic Four years and counting Got you feeling like an option Maybe I'm my own problem, babe
She tired of hearing, I don know my stubborn in me won't fall oh oh dealing with
this thing called trust but she really thinking about she wanna be free
why am i in this one

Download the Underdog Fantasy app and you can make your picks too.
So the Clippers beat the Suns 131 to 122.
So basically, what are your general thoughts on both teams? And then how do you feel about the Clippers beat the Suns 131 to 122 So basically what are your general thoughts
On both teams and then how do you feel about
The Clippers win
You gotta scam that first
Yeah no problem
The Clippers are very
Very impressive I'm very very
Impressed with
Ty Lue
and the job that he's doing over there.
They're actually in fourth place in the West.
I think when they got James Harden,
don't quote me on this,
they could have been ninth or 10th or possibly 11th.
And it looked like it was just,
it looked like it was a terrible decision
to get James Harden.
And now it's looking like a brilliant decision.
We said this three or four times on this show,
Ty Lue act for 10 games.
I don't even think it took him 10 games
because I believe when James Harden got there,
it was like one in six or something.
We was like, this is just hell.
This is going down the drain.
And I have to give a lot of this credit to Ty Lue.
Of course, the ball has to go in the basket.
James Harden, Paul George, Kawhi Leonard,
Russell Westbrook, the rest of the crew over there.
Much credit for you guys pulling this thing together.
And you're in fourth place.
Look, only teams ahead of the Clippers right now
is Denver, Oklahoma City, and Minnesota.
What I will say is this
to the rest of the NBA.
If the Clippers continue to win
or even get to a championship
or close to a championship,
this is going to be bad for the rest of the country
because they're going to say
the best basketball players
are out of the L.A. area.
All four of these players
are from the L.A. area
busting niggas ass.
Killing.
Killing.
Content magic.
Yeah, exactly.
You got Paul George.
You got Kawhi Leonard.
You got Russell Westbrook,
Long Beach,
James Hart, and
LA. And listen, man,
LA, y'all got some good-ass ballers,
man. And I'm really excited
to see where this goes. I'm very
excited
for Clippers fans because year after
year,
they've been let down
since we can't, we don't know
how long. And then, you know, it always seems like it may be a silver lining can't, we don't know how long, but, and then,
you know,
it always seems like it may be a silver lining.
Oh,
we get Chris Paul.
We got Blake Griffin.
We got DeAndre Jordan.
We got love city.
We're going to,
and then you run into the Golden State Warriors.
Damn.
Then these guys get older and older and they're not as good as they used to be.
You know,
you know,
we sit there and I sit there and look at the Andre joy and then nothing
bad.
He's a super duper great backup point,
a point guard backup center,
but he was the,
he was like that nigga is a Sunday at one time.
So it was Blake Griffin.
Do you know Blake Griffin plays for a mace?
Yes.
Who does he play for?
Um,
who is that?
Man.
The nigga was, I know he was at Detroit.
Then he went to the Nets, right?
Then he was in Boston.
He might be with somebody else.
Then he went to Boston.
He's in Boston for a little bit.
Oh, my goodness.
The answer to your question is me neither. I don't know what
Blake Rivers is like. But they had a little
situation where they was them
niggas and it always seems like they may
have something going on. And
hopefully they won't be selling wolf
tickets this time.
Because as much as I like what
LeBron is doing and
with the Lakers,
they're not the best team in Los Angeles right now.
The best team in Los Angeles is the Clippers at the moment.
As far as the Suns,
this is, man, listen.
Hopefully they'll pull it together.
Look, when I look at these standards,
just a couple days ago,
they were in 11th place, 10th place. Now they're in ninth place. Even though they're losing these games
that seem to be important, they're still in playoff contention. Look, at the end of the day,
it's only five teams that don't get a chance to go to the playoffs in each conference. So as long
as you're in the top 10, you have a chance to go to the playoffs. We are
a long way from that. But as far as Riverman is concerned, as far as them looking good is concerned,
it's just not, it's not happening. I don't know if it's Frank Vogel. Me and Mace went to a game
last year. I went to a couple games and it looked like it was something special with Devin Booker and KD outside of them beating the Nuggets.
This year, I don't get that same feeling.
I just don't have it, and I don't know why.
Maybe they're waiting.
Maybe it's a switch that they know they can hit when they want to hit it.
But I don't get the same feeling like when I knew KD was going to FINA.
I'm like, oh, that's going to be lit.
That's, no, nah.
Now we talking.
Now you're back in championship contention.
And I just don't feel that right now.
I'm not saying it can't happen.
Like I said, the year's just started.
We got another month or so to all-star break
maybe more than a month actually and we can we can make our decisions about the playoffs moving
forward but right now i'm just not getting the feeling that the phoenix suns are going to pull
this together and i picked them to go to the western conference finals with the um Nuggets. Hey.
Yeah, this is the first thing we need to acknowledge is the system.
Are you ready to say that we believe in the system?
Because this is what James Harden was telling Maury, I mean, the guy at the Sixers.
Darryl Maury.
Darryl Maury, right?
Yes.
You believe the system now, Killer?
That's a great question.
Because
we were both kind of
shitting on the system.
Yeah, this nigga Killer
always throw me in it, boy.
Yes, we was
We both
Yeah we
We was kinda
Like a funny
With the system
But um
I'm not gonna say
I'm ready to believe
In the system
Because
It's two things
Two things
You got the system
And you got the
The process
And neither one of them Have won a championship the system and you got the process.
And neither one of them have won a championship.
The system or the process.
So no, I don't believe in it until further notice.
Neither one of them have been the title champ.
So who are you ready to give the credit to other than Ty Lue?
The system or the GOAT?
Because the GOAT said Merry Christmas.
I wanted to tell you that.
The credit I would like to give to besides Ty Lue
is Russell Westbrook.
Russell Westbrook took it upon
himself.
That ass.
Russell Westbrook took it upon himself
to say, you know what?
I don't want this hysteria going on to put people in a position to say who should start, who shouldn't start, who shouldn't work.
Look, we had Jamal Crawford on the show and me and Jamal Crawford agreed that we thought James Harden should come off the bench because nobody at that particular time wanted to come off the bench.
It wasn't Ty Lue that put Russell Westbrook on the bench.
Russell Westbrook took it upon himself to say,
I'm not going to put the,
I think I'm going to come off the bench
for the better of the team
because I want to win a championship.
So the credit to me isn't Paul George,
it isn't Kawhi Leonard, it isn't James Hart,
and it's Russell Westbrook for saying,
let's see if this works if I come off the bench
and then we'll go from there.
Yeah, that's a good thing because Russell Westbrook, you're 100% right.
He deserved the credit more than anybody over there.
More than Ty Lue, Russell Westbrook deserved the credit.
Yeah.
That was a good
player-coach
move.
I think there's Chi-Chi at the
door. Hold on!
My nigga Chi-Chi.
And then to answer you guys' earlier
question, Blake Griffin is a free agent right now.
But I think Russell Westbrook
does deserve all the credit.
Blake Griffin ain't even in the NBA right now, man.
That's crazy.
We've hopped a different, yeah, through a couple of things.
I know, because it's like, where did he go?
Like, there's so many people around, like, dang.
Okay.
So on Tuesday, the Grizzlies beat the Spurs 106-98,
and John Morant made headlines for dunking on one beat.
What are your thoughts?
Did you see?
That dunk was crazy?
That was crazy.
I knew he was going to dunk on him
when I said Jock came back.
I told y'all that, right?
Do y'all remember that?
I like how you feel like you did say that.
Are y'all ready to...
That's something that I think you did say.
I did say that, Jock.
Y'all heard that.
Yeah, if you got paws, you got bunnies,
you got to dunk on a big man.
That goes with the resume.
That's what he needed to complete his GOAT status.
He might be the new GOAT.
I don't know about that because they lost last night.
It was an amazing dunk.
I think
Minnesota
Memphis is
way better
with Ja.
I knew
Ja would
want revenge
after Wimby
blocked the
shot.
Wimby kind
of boarded
him and
Ja didn't
like that.
He would
come back
and seek
revenge but
Mace you
definitely did
say that.
I just
like I said
Wimby numbers say he's doing good
I just with the eye test
I don't see that eye of the tiger
I don't I just see
I see
you think he gonna be like
Grant Hill is you
trying to say that
like where you're super gifted but
it just doesn't pan out
we're not saying anything bad about Grant but you know like you're super gifted, but it just doesn't pan out. We're not saying anything bad about Graham.
No, I think.
But you know, like you're supposed to be very promising,
but you don't live up to it.
I got Graham, hell ahead of him, you know, right now.
I'm trying to think who I can relate it to.
I have no idea who I can relate it to because we've never seen a guy
with his skill set this
tall,
but I don't,
have you seen him get mad?
Have you seen him?
Cam is only,
it's only Ralph Sampson and them niggas that was that tall now,
killer.
It's not a lot.
Yeah,
but I'm just saying,
especially with that skill set.
Absolutely.
Ralph Sampson didn't have the skill set that
he had. I'm just saying it ain't
about the skill set. It ain't about the height.
It's about
the
it's this. Where's this at?
Fuck out of here. Yeah.
Move, move, move. You're that tall.
Can't hide, bro. Yeah. Can't hide.
You gotta. I need this.
Can't be cool. I haven't seen this. Move, move, bro. You can't hide. I need this. I haven't seen this.
Move. Move.
Move.
Move. I got this.
Move.
Move. I don't see that.
I don't see a nigga who want it.
Or you don't get the ball and you
just go, yo, come on.
Yeah, exactly.
Exactly.
That's what I don't see. that's where i'm at with that yeah i think that's a really good analysis um but i i still just feel like i don't
know it looks like he's still trying to figure so much out which i mean he is but i i don't think
it's what people fully expected it's like he has sparks and flashes that shows like okay
he's him and then sometimes it's like a little confused but like i'm gonna give him you know
his credit i know it's gonna take some time and as far as jaw this is exactly what we all want to
see like we want to see people dunk on wimby we want to see people like put some force put something
on the court that's like exciting And it's great to have Ja back
because we're finally seeing that on the court.
We don't want to see scared players.
We want to see people who are going to go for it.
Yeah, that's a nigga who got a problem
if shit ain't going his way, man.
Ja's trying to do the dance, shoot shit out,
dunk on niggas, tell niggas I'm a dog,
father just in the crowd with the hoodie on.
Nigga, nigga shit.
Nigga, the
Iron Tiger.
What happened? Say that again?
You saw the dance
T. Moran hit on the dance floor.
We put it on the is what it is page.
That nigga, T. Moran
had his head with the hoodie on
looking in the sky, nigga, like this, nigga.
Yeah, nigga, fuck wrong with y'all.
We ain't changing shit over here, man.
Fuck they talking about?
