All is well, what's going on with you, man?
Starting point is 00:01:47 Hold on, before we start the show, man, I got a few questions. The Huskies must have won. Did them motherfuckers win? Cause I ain't see you wearing Huskies in a little minute, Mo. Today is the first day of the tournament, so I gotta represent for my dogs, right?
Starting point is 00:02:01 Did y'all play yesterday? Did y'all play? Or y'all play tonight? We played today. No, we played today. I'm gonna tell you one thing and for sure two things for certain. You ain't been up to Connecticut since Ohio State when you back home.
Starting point is 00:02:13 I ain't see you up there one day for practice or nothing. Connecticut ain't doing good this year. You ain't been up there to visit the team. I don't even know if you did a Zoom call because Ohio State is back in the loop. What's going on? What do you have to say to that? If you would have joined us last week on the show,
Starting point is 00:02:32 you would have seen I was in New York City. I was actually in your hometown going to visit my guys at Madison Square Garden. So I was with my dogs last weekend. Yes, you were absent. That's not Connecticut. That's not Connecticut. What? It's close, said- It's not Connecticut. What it is?
Starting point is 00:02:45 It's close, right? It's not Connecticut. You took a trip to do your thing like you was gonna see your niggas from Connecticut. Yeah. Lord, I don't believe it. That sound like a nigga like me, like, yo, I'm gonna get ready to go to Cincinnati
Starting point is 00:03:00 to go check out my niggas from Cleveland. Even though it's the same state, you wasn't even in the same state, Mo. What you talking about? You was in MasterSquid going to go check out my niggas from Cleveland. Even though it's the same state, you wasn't even in the same state, Mo. What you talking about? You was in Master Square going to go. I used to see you in the gym in Connecticut. That's where I used to see you. I ain't seen you there one time this year. Have you been to gym in Connecticut this season?
Starting point is 00:03:17 Oh, they not looking like they gonna treat, they don't look like they going 3P, huh? They don't look good. You don't like about being around the winners, huh? They don't look good. You don't like it without being around the winners. You on some murder shit, man. Title Town is on the move. No, he tried to do it without me. This is what happened when you tried to do it without me.
Starting point is 00:03:35 Yeah, Title Town is on the move this year, the DC double A, and Mo ain't been keeping it funky. He tried to throw down that hat the day of the tournament. Yeah, all right, bro. Yeah, go ahead, get more finished telling me about your Masters Square Garden story, a host three hours away from where motherfucking you can't play. Go ahead, tell me about it since I wasn't here.
Starting point is 00:03:56 Yeah, like I said, since you wasn't here, and I know you heard it in the comments, the people missed you, but since you wasn't here, I was with my dogs last week up in New York and I usually go, but we was on a playoff run with Ohio State. So the times I usually go to Connecticut, we was busy winning titles here in Columbus. So that was what happened.
Starting point is 00:04:15 Yeah, you conveniently at all the right places at all the right times, man. Year after year after year. Well look, I'm up here. I'm with Winters. Oh yeah, oh no, Moe. Listen, you very much appreciated here. And listen, we wouldn't have invited you
Starting point is 00:04:28 if we didn't think you was one of them niggas, but I'm talking about since you've been on the show, the niggas you've been promoting and everything. I see you with Connecticut two years in a row, title tear. Ohio State, title tear. Connecticut don't look good this year. Throw a little hat the first day at NCAA. Act like you showing your support.
Starting point is 00:04:47 You ain't been in that gym with them niggas, Mo. You ain't low Mo. We need the t-shirt that say you ain't low Mo. Yeah, man. Wow. That's a day. Day. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:02 I'm here for you, Murray. But it's all good. Who are you talking to about the transition to the show? No, no, no, listen, man. You are doing this all set. Listen, listen, I'm going to be honest with you, with you Mo. And listen, I'm a nigga my whole life, my whole life. Now, I ain't going to say my whole life. I can't say my whole life.
Starting point is 00:05:22 The majority of my adult life, I know how they influence people. I know how to make niggas wanna wear square earrings, wear pink, hat to the side, this, cause I'm a fly nigga. Like look, you see this right here? You see this dash of pink in this shirt? You probably can't see it. I can see it.
Starting point is 00:05:40 Boom. Gucci. Off the dab. It's just a dab. It's a little bit of pink, but I splashed it with the Gucci. Off the dab, it's just a dab, it's a little bit of pink, but I splash it with the Gucci. Not only is that Gucci, it's that they only make that in women's size, that color. So I had to buy the 12 in women
Starting point is 00:05:55 and take the soul out the shoe to coordinate all this. I'm an influencer. And what I'm realizing that my influence is not heavier than Mesa's influence on this show. Stat does whatever she wants to do, start following. Sid May say, you title towns on the move. I don't have the influence that I have on the rest of the world on this panel.
Starting point is 00:06:17 And it's fine, because it's my brother. It's cool, but he can't swerve me. I know him. I know him like that. I know this nigga. He can't fool me. I remember the nigga was drinking 22 ounce deuces. So he can't tell me anything. Like I said, it was a time on the show when the nigga was telling me one time, I told you he went true platinum.
Starting point is 00:06:37 He told me, yeah, what it was meant to be. I walked off on it and it wasn't meant to be. It was not guaranteed. So I get it, it's all good, but it's power on the show is a little bit more than mine. Title towns on the move, and Moe is throwing on a hat to act like he's showing support. It's all love.
Starting point is 00:06:54 No problem, you ain't even gotta answer. Go ahead, go ahead. Here we go, so it's kinda disrespectful to say you got no influence on the show. I'm wearing a pink shirt, right? That's an honor of you, right? You gotta, you gotta, come on, you gotta give me some credit with that.
Starting point is 00:07:08 No, the thing about it, Mo, is this, that we all, everybody up here holds their own, so I dig it. But now you finessing. I know finessing. I know a nigga finessing. Hey, stay, hold me up. I usually do, but hey, there ain't no commercial breaks at the beginning.
Starting point is 00:07:31 Hey, listen, yo, Mo, I love you. Yo, Mo, I love you. Call him now. Yeah, listen, Mo, I love Mo, it don't matter. Cause listen, I dig it. If you're with the college champions, you're with the football champions in college, I ain't knocking down.
Starting point is 00:07:43 I'm just letting you know that I'm aware. And if I'm aware, somebody else out there is aware. We'll transition from that to this real quick. Murda, Mo, let me ask your opinion. Stats going to Howard homecoming to talk- It's not homecoming. It's going to Howard, it's homecoming weekend? Or is it- No.
Starting point is 00:07:58 Whatever. No. She's going to Howard to talk for free. I told her when I used to go to Howard, I used to get paid. I'm going to Howard to talk for free. I told her when I used to go to Howard, I used to get paid. I'm going to talk. I mean, I'm going to perform in front of a crowd. She says she doesn't take money from Capa,
Starting point is 00:08:12 AKA these niggas. Like that's her crew. No disrespect to the gangs. There's all them sisters gangs. It's like this. You can't do all that. You can't do that. I just did it.
Starting point is 00:08:22 I went there, somebody come get me. Whatever, she't do that. I just get it. I wonder if somebody's gonna come get me. Whatever, she can be mad. My lawyer's this. My lawyer, Matt Middleton. I don't know. I see him do this. Omega Syph. He's this.
Starting point is 00:08:34 What is that? Omega. I know Matt Middleton. I know that. Shout out to Matt Middleton. He do this. I don't know. Yeah, the people she with,
Starting point is 00:08:41 the guys she would be with, they wear canes and all. Yeah, my thing about it is, the thing that pisses me off, this is gonna piss me off more, cause see, I'm back to her, honey, Murda, stop acting like you from Atlanta. You pissing me off from there.
Starting point is 00:08:53 You went to Clark for three minutes, now you gonna act, you seen School Days, the movie. You seen School Days, the movie. Went to Clark for three minutes, now a nigga trying to talk me. I went to, I went to a HBCU. I went to Clark for three minutes, now a nigga trying to tell me. I went to HBCU, I went to Clark Atlanta. I know, but did you really go? He said you were rolled.
Starting point is 00:09:18 Did you, yeah, that's a good one Mo, you was enrolled in Clark Atlanta, but was you pulling up in Florence? How was you coming to school? Pause. I went to school, come on. I said, how did you, I asked you, how did you pull up? I went to school at Dark Cannon and Layton and all of them.
Starting point is 00:09:38 How did you, how did you pull up to school? I'm asking the question, how did you arrive to school? Was it the bus somebody dropped you off? What car did you pull up to school? I'm asking the question, how did you arrive to school? Was it the bus somebody dropped you off? What car did you pull up to school in? Oh, a 6-Sonic Mercedes. All right, yeah. They can say, what year was the car? Whatever year ahead of the year it was.
Starting point is 00:10:00 I said, yeah, all right, you ain't go to school. He wasn't struggling. You ain't have to go to the mailbox to see if your family member sent you some mail because you couldn't eat. You was all right. I'm pretty sure you were school. Your school wasn't school.
Starting point is 00:10:18 That's why you want to do the movie School Days over so bad because you did it in real life. You was really riding danger field in real life when you went to school. Anyway, what's you guys' opinion? Because I know we gotta get to the show. Stata's going to talk for free for some people at HBCU, which I, shout to HBCUs, don't disrespect, I love HBCUs.
Starting point is 00:10:37 They do a lot. But she's doing it for free. And I told her, talking in front of a crowd, a speaking engagement, et cetera, they have a budget, but she has her rules on why she doesn't do it. What do you guys thought quickly on how you're going to do this for no money? Man, well, all these universities,
Starting point is 00:10:56 I've been speaking at universities for the past 10 or 12 years, and if the organization who you're coming for doesn't have money, they can easily pull in other organizations or other schools to pull their money because every school has an allotted amount of money that they use for programming and they can use you. And sometimes the person who's booking you isn't educated
Starting point is 00:11:17 but you have to educate them on where they can go get the money from or to pay you. So- Educate the book, I like that. That was it. Gavmo, keep it up. Hey Gavmo. Gomo, keep it up. Hey Gadmo. Go on where to get the money, bro.
Starting point is 00:11:28 Educate the book on where to get it. Gadmo, finish talking, Gad, I like this. Nah, yeah, but sometimes they just don't know and they may not be aware. Sometimes they'll have a student who's trying to get their reps up and their skills to basically pay you. And so you just say, hey man,
Starting point is 00:11:43 if you can consolidate a few different agencies and you direct them to where you can go get the money, you just say, Hey man, I want to be paid for my services. So always remember people go on, treat you how you present yourself. And so if you act like it's no big deal, that's basically how they going to treat you. Uh, but you want people treating you like a big deal. So you need to present yourself that way.
Starting point is 00:12:01 Sat. Oh my goodness, Mo you giving back for the cash, Mo? Fuck that, Mo. I'm with you. I'm with you. It's been a long road. You don't give a fuck. Sat, don't listen to Mo. If you giving back to the kids, you got to give back to the kids.
Starting point is 00:12:26 Mo is giving back and getting back. It ain't a give back if you give back. Mo, what is this, the give back or the give back? Hey, I believe it's social entrepreneurship. There is nothing wrong with you rendering your service. Look, so I say this, man. Look, there is nothing wrong with getting paid for rendering services. If you're given information, if you're given direction, information helps you to cut down time.
Starting point is 00:12:57 You're cutting down time on what you're trying to accomplish. So if that is assisting somebody and helping them accomplish that, that is essentially what the school is doing. The school is giving you information to consolidate what you're trying to do. And so I just say, hey man, my time is worth something. Professor Maurice Claret. I'm just gonna- You bashing in on the kids, Mo.
Starting point is 00:13:23 Okay. This is crazy. Listen, kids, Mo. Okay. This is crazy. Listen, listen, listen. I want Stat to tell us why. And listen, I'm being educated on this too, cause I'm not even thinking about what time of year it is. I'm thinking homecoming.
Starting point is 00:13:35 I got booked on homecoming. I actually got shot at homecoming at Howard DC homecoming, but I'm realizing she said it's not homecoming season and it's something going on. I still believe what Mo is saying that, yeah, school the booker on where to find the money because I'm coming here to educate
Starting point is 00:13:54 and I'm coming here to give my services. When the professors teach, they get paid. They're not there to give it for free. I want to start to answer her own words and I don't want to cut her off. I would like to give her time to talk, but I had that one question for Mase. On Sundays, are you rendering your services for free, sir? Mase? I would just like to know, is it the give back or the get back? I'm just wondering how does that work on Sundays?
Starting point is 00:14:31 Is it the give back or the get back? Because you're rendering your services. I want to know how that works. If such a friend in the parmo like this, I was just wondering because you're definitely giving a service to someone you need to give service. Is it for free? Is it a give back or is it the get back on Sundays? How does that work? That's actually a great question. To those that are rich, they're responsible to give back, you know? I love this nigga. I love this nigga.
Starting point is 00:15:27 I love this nigga. Oh, shit. Gay, hold on, because I want to hear this loud and clear. Hold on, hold on, Murda. I'll stop hearing that. Responsible, if you're rich, you're responsible to give back. Gay, let this guy off for me. Gay.
Starting point is 00:15:43 Yeah, I knew you was going to laugh at that. No, no, no, because I know you serious too. You not gonna say no, you don't mean, but I gotta laugh at that after trying to get at Mo. So Mo could be at the richest university in the world. It ain't they responsibility. Okay, I want you to finish. You're gonna finish. Baby time.
Starting point is 00:16:03 Oh, man. I like it. Oh. Okay, okay, Murda, finish this one off. Tell me how this work. You have to finish. You have to finish. You have to finish. You have to finish. You have to finish. You have to finish. You have to finish. You have to finish. Tell me how this work. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:10 To those who are rich, they're responsible to give back, you know? So in my place, I would be responsible at this point in life to give back. If I didn't have, then it would be something that they could do for me, but I'm not in a place where they should be doing something for me. I'm in a place where I should be doing something for them. And anything you do on Sunday, it should always be, from my vantage point, it should be for free. And then whatever people want to do, that's what they should be able to do. But they should never be obligated to give when it's a holy service. Do you ever say, you know what?
Starting point is 00:16:49 Can I say something? One second, bro. I want one more question. I want more to ask this question. Then I want to start to finish off real quick. And then I'll jump out real quick. Do you ever say no thank you? say no thank you.
Starting point is 00:17:07 You guys, you ever say I've done more than enough out here and I feel I've reached my maximum peak? You guys, you know what, just keep it. Do you ever do that? I mean, actually I have, I have many of times. No, I believe you, I just wanted to know. I just wanted to know. My bad, Mo, I know you had something to say. Sorry about that.
Starting point is 00:17:40 No, but now that we, now that we, now that we have a conversation, and Mo's case is probably a service. His service is more of a business service. So when I thought it over he should be getting paid because that's a business service. Right. Well, it's not wrong if people get paid for doing stuff and in a church is just not the part that I do. No, I knew you would give a real answer
Starting point is 00:18:07 and that's why I was asking, but I know one thing for sure, two things for certain, and this is coming from you. I remember, and I'm being totally honest real quick, and we're not gonna dwell on this a long time because this is great conversation before we start the show. But I'll tell you this much, I remember this,
Starting point is 00:18:23 and I wasn't educated enough at the time. And for me, for people that don't know, I'm not specifically tied to a religion, whether it's Baptist, Christian, or anything like that, but I do believe in God and I do believe in the high power and I do believe it's a purpose why everybody walks a path of life. So if you made a left turn instead of a right turn,
Starting point is 00:18:43 I'm very superstitious. I am one of those people. But earlier on in my younger, earlier 20s, my baby mom actually, then I'm sitting here thinking about it, she used to go, you know, Crumflow Dollar used to go different places to preach different cities
Starting point is 00:19:02 and he would come to New York once a week and she would actually go there every week. And I'd be like, I can't fuck with him. I'm just being honest today. Now that I'm older, I kind of learn. And not just Mace learning, you learn through time. Sometimes the best teacher is experienced and watching and learning.
Starting point is 00:19:21 And when you're 20s and coming from Harlem, you're naive, a lot of stuff. And Mace was way more mature than a lot of us was. And when it comes to this, and not just this, a lot of different things. But I remember her, she was going to see him like, yo, why are you going to see this nigga? He got fucking private jets and Ferraris.
Starting point is 00:19:40 And she'd be like, why can't a nigga, you know, in part of my language talking about this, everybody out there, why can't someone that worships God or believes in God or whatever his religion is, have all that? And I'd be like, cause they just can't. And I used to think that you wasn't allowed to have all that if you was in the church,
Starting point is 00:20:02 but then at the same time, it's like, why not? You're praising the highest above, doing the Lord's work, and if that's what he's blessing you with, that's what he's blessing you with. So for a lot of people who's younger who can't get that concept, I just talked to somebody the other day, recently, not the other day, maybe two weeks ago,
Starting point is 00:20:18 and they was like, niggas robbed that motherfucking pastor in Brooklyn. That's the man from Ibiza, we talking about that in Ibiza. We was like, nigga robbed that motherfucking pastor in Brooklyn. That's the man fight visa. We talked about that That's a visa. We thought nigga robbed that nigga out there with all that Louis Vuitton and his damn closet Niggas came and put the pistol in his face in church, even though he's doing some foul shit But if he wasn't why was he able to have all that and that's something that you got to learn along with time Just because somebody worships God or believes in God that doesn't mean they're not allowed to have finite things in life Sorry to take so long to get to you, Stank. This was actually your topic. I mean, all good. This was a good conversation. I'm just going to add before we move on,
Starting point is 00:20:52 there are just a couple things I'm very passionate about. And I talk about how important education was to me. So I have no problem doing this speaking engagement. There has been a lot that I've declined and I've got paid for a lot of different speaking engagements. But again, this is something that I'm passionate about. My mom was an educator, so that has been instilled in me. I knew how it was for me because I was president of a lot of organizations when I attended Miami.
Starting point is 00:21:19 Booking a guest speaker is hard. I think it's different from a performance because it's not a paid event. You're doing fundraisers, doing a lot of things to have a certain budget. They took care of a lot of other things. Everything for me, I have no problem doing this service because that's something that I'm passionate about. So y'all, if you're passionate about something, that's what you want to do. Go ahead and do it.
Starting point is 00:21:41 I've declined a lot of other schools and a lot of other things because I didn't want to do that. This is something that I want to do. And that's that, okay? That's that. Before we move on, the last thing I'll say is this, that Wallo, shout out to Wallo, Gile Wallo. One of the first people he came to talk to about speaking engagements was Maurice Claret.
Starting point is 00:22:01 If I'm not mistaken, Maura, I remember both of you guys telling me about that. Wallo makes $80,000 an hour to talk to people. I'm done. You also, I'm just, I'm gonna move on. You also what? Yeah, you also what? No, I'm just gonna say, like, I just think
Starting point is 00:22:23 we all think differently. And I think, you know, money is important as well, but certain things that I'm doing a service for, I'm not expecting money in return. And something that is a core for me is HBCU, specifically University of Miami. Those are kind of the two things that I have more of a soft spot for because I understand.
Starting point is 00:22:41 And you know, if murder, B. Allen just made a point. Thank you, Larry, for that fact check with Walla. Lose a couple dollars to see how that shit goes. Yeah, you're gonna think about all the money they take. B. Zo made a good point before we started the show and made a conversation. She won't charge the University of Miami, but they charged her for four years,
Starting point is 00:22:57 room board, food, education, books, et cetera, but she won't charge them. I mean, I won't. Well, if you wasn't who you was now, do you think Miami would be asking you to do anything for them? That's with anything anybody does in life. If you're not who you were or a product of something, nobody's going to ask you for anything.
Starting point is 00:23:15 That's just life. So I'm not expecting. If a nigga charges me, I'm charging you. I've had a lot of life lessons and progression and stuff through the University of Miami. So if they ask me to do something, which they have, and I've spoke to those of life lessons and progression and stuff through the University of Miami. So if they asked me to do something, which they have, and I've spoke to those classes and stuff as well, I'm okay with doing that.
Starting point is 00:23:30 Cause I wish I had the guidance when I was in school. So I get it. It's coming from a place of understanding where I completely understand the position that these people were in. Cause I didn't have a representation of anything that I wanted to do. I had to figure it out.
Starting point is 00:23:42 Yo, yo Murda, what that nigga Bad told you? Stupid. Not Stad. I know that. Stad, I'm just joking. Stad's one of the smartest black females. Not black, pardon me, I don't even use the word black. I like to use black because she's on the show. One of the smartest females I ever met, so.
Starting point is 00:24:02 Thanks. Congratulations on what you're doing with that doggy voice. That was backhanded. No, no, no. No, no, no. No, no, no. And not backhanded.
Starting point is 00:24:15 Let me tell you something to you, Stack. He's not wrong. It's still picking on our comments. No, I don't like it when our backhanded comments. Let me clear that up. I'm just making fun, cause there's a nigga on our block who used to make fun of us
Starting point is 00:24:24 and he called me and Mace stupid. This was, the reason I brought that up is You're not wrong. I'm just making fun, cause there's a nigga on our block who used to make fun of us and he called me and Mase stupid. This was the reason I brought that up is cause that's one of the times me and Mase was talking about the show when people didn't believe we were rappers and they called us stupid. And I was using the type of person, if he heard bad heard, what you say?
Starting point is 00:24:38 No, but we're not bad. We are just, look, we made it. Imagine if we didn't make it. That's the reason we can laugh about it. I don't mean backhanded. And definitely I didn't mean black. I like throwing black in there because you're part of this show.
Starting point is 00:24:54 This is a black show and you're doing well for yourself. I didn't mean smart black. I meant smart female, male, human being, period. What? The money part, doggy. No, The money part doggy. No, I would say doggy. I totally get it. Just let me preface. I've learned a lot from y'all about money.
Starting point is 00:25:12 So don't get it twisted. I don't be out here doing shit for free. Listen, I like that stance of that day because even with a conversation there, you got to stand for something, for everything. So I dig it. Just saying my cup of tea. I totally understand. Good conversation. Y'all. Okay. So we're going to actually start with Georgia.
Starting point is 00:25:30 So Georgia wide receiver and freshman offensive lineman were suspended indefinitely from all team activities on Thursday after an arrest on charges of speeding and reckless driving. So we all know this isn't the first rodeo where this has happened with Georgia players specifically in the past couple of years. So Maurice, what do you think is the reasoning for all of these off season issues and what advice would you give these players who are kind of getting into all this trouble off the field? Yeah, this is the shit you get into when you ain't winning. Oh, you got the shriek out.
Starting point is 00:26:02 This is shit you get into when you ain't winning. Oh, you got the three times. Talking about backhand and shit. Mo, talking about backhand and shit. On the top. Laughter Talk, Mo, guy. Right at my nose. Laughter
Starting point is 00:26:23 This is shit that happened. I like that. Let's set this motherfucker on. Yeah, Mo. Nice. Yeah. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Wait, wait, wait.
Starting point is 00:26:33 You got free time. And y'all ass ain't in the weight room and the culture messed up and y'all at a loss and you ain't believing in Kirby Smart no more. Niggas getting drunk, niggas getting high, all that stuff. But I tell you like this, man, what this is a symptom of, and I've seen it,
Starting point is 00:26:49 I kind of seen it at Yukon this year, and I've seen it happen in other places. When you start winning, they say winning attracts shit. Right, so everybody comes when you win, and everybody wants to come to your program. Everybody wants to be down with what you're doing. And sometimes when you're winning, you get too busy enjoying the victory
Starting point is 00:27:09 rather than evaluating who you're letting your door. Because when the do start driving drunk or you keep on having these things every off season, people in the locker room should be self-correcting. If you have leadership, they should be self-correcting. What that's really telling me is that there's no leadership in a locker room. Uh, whatever the coaches are saying to these guys aren't connecting because
Starting point is 00:27:28 this it's been the same things for the past two or three seasons. It really, they embarrassed the program and embarrassed the program and they're making it harder for younger guys to want to come there because it gives people like Ohio state or other programs, easy shots at them and say, Hey man, look, it's Georgia. They're cool, but look at all the dumb shit that they get into in off season and so on and so forth. So that's my take on it.
Starting point is 00:27:49 Okay, Mase. Yeah, I like the take that you just gave, Mo. I think when it comes to Georgia, one of the things this would do is hurt recruitment, and this is something that people don't think about. Like if there's a pattern of people going in and getting into off-field situations, it's gonna make other people not wanna risk their future
Starting point is 00:28:12 with that organization or that institution or whatever you wanna call a university. I think, again, it also goes to the fact that people are not focused because with you know, with victory, like Mo just said, comes the spoils of war. And as you start increasing in those spoils of war, you start having... you think you have time to do these other things, when really you're supposed to be protecting yourself from the future enemies of that conference. Because as people see you winning,
Starting point is 00:28:45 they want to take those victories from you. And you have people that see you now as a rivalry. You have people see you as the game they must win. And it takes even more enthusiasm and work ethic to sustain a victorious program. After you had success, it takes even more to stay at that level because now everybody's gunning for you, everybody's aiming for you week after week.
Starting point is 00:29:13 And I think that's something that's being lost in the leadership, as Mo just stated. So there's time for them to refocus and to have some team meetings, especially the captains on that team, need to start speaking up and reaching out to those players because you've even had some deaths that came from stuff like this.
Starting point is 00:29:33 And things like that happen, people wanna get serious then. So I think after all of the history that I know of and people who know of that know the Georgia program, this is the last thing that somebody should be doing as a part of that program. Driving drunk or speed racing, that should be the end of that they, all the history that they have with this is crazy. I think this shit ain't about nothing.
Starting point is 00:30:15 I think what Mo said is kind of correct. Look, they ain't winning whatever, a lot of free time. This shit ain't, and don't get me wrong, let me make sure I'm clear. I'm not saying what they did isn't about nothing. I think the punishment is about nothing. Ooh, they're suspended from all team activity again. It's fucking March.
Starting point is 00:30:34 Mike's thinking about college football right now. But time to fucking college football come back around, this is gonna get swept under the rug. Whoever the players was, they gonna get back in the mix. They gonna be practicing. If they playing good, they gonna get back in the mix. They gonna be practicing. If they playing good, they gonna be on the field. This shit ain't about, it's March. Oh, we suspended them from all team.
Starting point is 00:30:51 What fucking teammate? Mo, you know better than me. I don't know, I'm asking, and this ain't a rhetorical question, I wanna know. What's going on in March for the football team right now? I don't know, in college. Not, hold on, hold on, hold on. Not the champions.
Starting point is 00:31:06 We know y'all are still on the victory. Yeah. What is going on for the average team that didn't win right now in March? Yeah, just like you said, so today will be my first day back at Ohio State practice, too, but... Okay.
Starting point is 00:31:19 It's spring ball. Yeah, so spring ball is going on right now, but... Oh, they can't play Spring Ball. Ooh. Let them niggas show out in August and get on the field, come back strong. This shit swept under the rug. And then there's going to be one or two reporters,
Starting point is 00:31:34 three reporters, maybe four, and be like, well, what happened back in March when they got caught speed racing and driving drunk and all that? We punished them over the summer. We took it into our own hands. We won't say what exactly what happened, but we took care of that and it won't happen again.
Starting point is 00:31:50 Them niggas playing ball, this is the perfect time. And like I said, no good time for what they did. I'm not cosigning what they did. But if they playing good enough in July, August, get ready to come into September, nobody gonna give a fuck about this. Nobody gonna care nobody died. Nobody gonna give a fuck. If them niggas balling,
Starting point is 00:32:09 they will get there and nobody remembers. Hey, let's hope nobody, they PRT. Let's hope nobody remembers this. Let's keep... Hey, I thought so and so and so and so. I don't probably all know their names off the top of my head. Wasn't they supposed to be suspended from everything? We suspended them from Spring Ball.
Starting point is 00:32:27 Ooh, kill them, Terry-o. Y'all know what I'm saying? Y'all niggas act like y'all did something crazy. Nigga, no, it's March. Nobody gonna give a fucking August, man. This shit ain't about nothing. Them niggas ain't gonna really motherfuck it. Them niggas ain't gonna motherfuck it,
Starting point is 00:32:44 getting no motherfucking trouble behind this shit. It's just, it's quiet. Yeah, you right, you right. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. That niggas forgot about my nigga, Terrio, Terrio probably grown an obese. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:59 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He forgot about Terrio. Yeah. Yeah. Yo, Sat. Yes. He forgot about Charlie. Yo, Seth, it was just only probably like 18 months ago that two people died in Georgia. So this is why I said they should be taking this way overboard.
Starting point is 00:33:23 This is nowhere near what should be happening, because the institution was just being sued over 18 months ago because a football player died and a personal part of the recruitment staff died in this same particular way. So for them to do that says that they value football over people's lives. And that's crazy. I might just stop wearing my Georgia stuff over this, for real. Well, let me ask you a question, Mase. What were the consequences behind that?
Starting point is 00:33:56 When the God crashed. When the people died. That's what I'm saying. They sued the university, I think it was for about 1.5 million, and then, but a person's life is way more than $1.5 million, and to think about that, it nothing really happened, a misdemeanor, if that. That's my point.
Starting point is 00:34:21 It was misdemeanor, which shows that they value football over people's lives. And I said this, that's why I said this may hurt the recruitment because when you send your kid off to college, you're not thinking about them being injured, let alone dying on that campus. And they went there to play football. So the leadership got to step in and take this a little bit more serious because you're playing with people lies If you start tapping people on a wrist for what they're doing Something something could really go wrong again. And the first time you could act like that's a mistake
Starting point is 00:34:54 But what parents want the mistake to be their child? That's what I'm saying that no I'm not disagreeing with you I just don't think that yeah not gonna be a big deal because we haven't talked about that car crash since it happened. They swept that under the rug. You're bringing that up because of this situation. We ain't been like, yo, what happened with that situation? We ain't check up on it.
Starting point is 00:35:15 Not us, not even heard any other outlets checking up on it either. I'm not disagreeing with you. I'm totally in the grids with you. Let me tell you. Sorry, go ahead. Yeah, I was saying that's why I'm totally in the grids with you. Let me tell you, sorry. Yeah, I was saying that's why I'm putting that's why I'm putting like the real focus on it
Starting point is 00:35:30 so other people can take that serious because this is like the third, fourth time. The one time was when they crashed and somebody died but there's been several other times. I mean, this is the ongoing thing. Maybe it's the openness, pause of the roads up there in Athens or something that's causing people, maybe they got this straightaway driving lane that people just drag race through,
Starting point is 00:35:56 but it always comes up to a real problem. And people value football so much in the Athens, Georgia area that the cops are probably even leaning towards it. That's what I'm more so speaking of. Like if you get caught in Kentucky, but you played for Kentucky, they're probably going to let you go. You know, it's like that in Athens, Georgia. Well, let me tell you this Mason, this isn't my words and I don't agree with this statement
Starting point is 00:36:20 when I'm about to say, well, this is something Michael Irvin told me. And I know we're not talking about Sundays, we're talking about Saturdays, but Michael Irvin said that America stole Sunday from God. That's how much they love football. That's how much niggas in America love football. And you're correct. They're putting things over priority when it comes to certain sport.
Starting point is 00:36:43 It's the same thing we talked about last season, well, the season before last now, when Andy Reid's son killed somebody, a three-year-old or four-year-old, if I'm not mistaken, I don't want him to get the information. It started like the week before the Super Bowl. When it comes to football in America, they'll find a way to sweep shit under the rug.
Starting point is 00:37:01 And you're 100% right. Somebody needs to put the hammer down on the situation if that's what's going on in Athens, Georgia. But Athens, Georgia, and I'm not familiar with the area, it sounds like, and from the way the stadium looks, it sounds like Columbus, Ohio. It's a city that doesn't have a professional team and this is their professional team.
Starting point is 00:37:21 And if, right, you know what I'm saying Mo? Like when it comes to- Yeah, it is. Everything up there revolves around that football. So it's definitely- And that's the point in this. And if, and I'm not gonna listen, everything I'm saying,
Starting point is 00:37:36 I have to always say this cause they'll take the clip and act like this is what I'm saying, even though they'll still do it. I'm not in agreement with any of this. I'm just giving you some people's mentality. It was kind of like Skip Bayless and this is to me part of the reason that Skip Bayless career kind of plummeted from not saying it's over but besides the way he treated Shannon Sharp when I'm sorry I can't think of that young man's name the place for the Buffalo Bills who caught that heart attack.
Starting point is 00:38:04 DeMar Hamlin. DeMar heart attack. DeMar Hamlin. DeMar Hamlin. DeMar Hamlin. Yeah, DeMar Hamlin. Yeah, DeMar Hamlin. Thank you guys. When he caught that situation and it was going on second by second on the field, Skip Bill was just tweeting like, why is it taking so long for the game to go on?
Starting point is 00:38:18 I wish they would hurry up. What's going on? Why is everybody taking so long? It's a football game. Move them off the field. And he got scrutinized for weeks behind that because he was very insensitive to that situation. But not, you know, I don't know if he knew exactly what was going on. None of us really did. But he was so insensitive by during not even just the next day, why I was going on, tweeting.
Starting point is 00:38:42 why I was going on, tweeting. And we have to be more sensitive as humans and humanity. But some cities, when it comes to football, they just lose their fucking mind and nothing's above it. So I totally agree with you, Mace. I was just giving the other side of the equation, but Cameron agrees with what you're talking about. And then- And one of the guys, they gave them 12 months probation and a thousand dollar
Starting point is 00:39:08 fine. So that's my point. How serious was it? Cause they needed to put the program back to the old baby. That's what they're saying. That's what they're saying. Yeah. It's definitely an unfortunate situation.
Starting point is 00:39:21 And then to both of y'all's points, that deadly crash that did happen last year. So they were racing. Both of the players in the car are both currently in the league. The female staffer driving the other car, she passed away. And then the other female staffer in the car who took part of the activity, she was actually fired. So that's kind of what happened to the people involved. That's a great point step
Starting point is 00:39:52 They can say you good now. We want to draft you. We know I know we know a females dead and our girl She can't play football. So we just fire y'all to still healthy. Come on to the NFL. That's what I'm You gave only me to be funny about this shit, but that's what they say it basically that's how much we bugging about football and makes many great points basically. Okay. A new NBA record was broken against the Knicks. We will discuss who after the break. I said they go like that. Got you feeling like a option Maybe I'm my own problem, babe She tired of hearing, I don't know What's up in it, me won't fall, oh, oh Dealing with this thing called trust But she ain't really thinking about us Welcome back. So Spurs Sandro Mamou sets an NBA record with 34 points in 19 minutes. Those were the most points scored in fewer than 20 minutes since the NBA started officially tracking minutes played in 1951 and 1952.
Starting point is 00:41:37 The Spurs then went on to beat the Knicks 120 to 105, which is crazy because that's just what we had some positivity for them. Maurice thought thoughts on him breaking that record and then the Knicks loss. Oh, one thing that I thought of like the immediate thing I was like, man, how many Knickers are real good in the NBA who just don't get a chance because they play on a team where they have a superstar and they have to suffer in silence. Right. And I was like, man, to score that many buckets in that short of a window. That means you had to have been working, you had to be phenomenal at some point in your life. Just to even make it to the NBA is one thing. And then I thought to myself about how many niggas believe that they could actually play
Starting point is 00:42:21 with NBA players. And I said, niggas are out of their fucking mind because it's some niggas that are sitting on the bench that are real fucking good. And so shout outs to the guy. I don't even know how to pronounce his last name for taking advantage while Wimby's out. Hopefully the guy, you know, gets more playing time if he doesn't get any playing time. But for anybody to score that many points
Starting point is 00:42:39 in that time frame in the NBA is a phenomenal accomplishment. Mase? Yeah, that was an excellent point that proves how great offensively he is, but it was able to showcase it because three other superstars probably weren't there, Chris, Paul.
Starting point is 00:43:01 I mean, Chris Paul probably played, but then you don't have Wimby and you don't have Fox. And when you don't have those people in place, then he was able to showcase that talent. And but this more about the Knicks. Remember what I was saying this a few days ago. It looked like they had the easiest schedule. They still managed to mess that up. So I don't want to overlook that. This was one of the games that we would say they're managed to mess that up. So I don't want to overcook that. This was one of the games that we would say they're gonna win.
Starting point is 00:43:28 So I really hope the Knicks turn this around, even though it's one game, they have the history of having it right in pause in their hands and they mess it up. So that's more so what I'm focused on. The points are great. What Mo said is excellent, but I'm more concerned with the Knicks.
Starting point is 00:43:48 And is this the debacle that we was all thinking about? Yeah, that's a great point. We were saying that the Knicks had the fourth easiest schedule remaining in the NBA. And Mason's 100% correct. I try to get the Knicks a little bit of credit and look what happens. It's exactly what happens.
Starting point is 00:44:07 This is what happens when we give you credit, Sid. You wanna be talked about? Good, niggas send records on you. Niggas, we can't pronounce his last name. Send records on y'all niggas. You happy? Hope y'all hold on to third tight, Murder Said. That's exactly what he said,
Starting point is 00:44:21 cause he's looking shaky, nigga. He's looking shaky. Back to Mo's point. That's a great point, Moe. I always say this about God Bless the Dead. What if Drozden Petrovic never made it to the Nets? Drozden Petrovic was so fucking nice, God Bless the Dead, and he didn't get to showcase his talent to where he was one of them niggas
Starting point is 00:44:39 overseas in his country. Ended up playing for the Portland Trail Blazers, didn't get any burn, didn't get to showcase his talent. Luckily he got traded to the Nets, and you're like, who the fuck is this? This nigga was giving Jordan headaches some nights. And that was a great point, Mo. Sometimes you're not in a good system,
Starting point is 00:44:58 sometimes you don't have a good coach, sometimes you don't have a good teammate, and you sit there and, and you feel like, or us as fans feel like a nigga ain't shit. Nigga ain't get there for not being shit. You know what I'm saying? So I like that point you made Mo, but yeah. Congratulations to him.
Starting point is 00:45:19 The craziest shit, it just seemed like that game the other night, it was just all over the place. It seemed like it was no coup for him. When he did his after the court, pardon me, not after the court, on court interview after the game, flavor flav was in the interview. Like what was flavor flav in the interview?
Starting point is 00:45:36 How the fuck, flav my man, shout out to flav. Flav live out here with us, flav my nigga. Flav, I gotta come on Flavr Chef too. I'm a chef, we supposed to have a cook-off and all, shout out to Flavr. But how the fuck did Flav, Flav live out here with us. Flav my nigga, Flav, I gotta come on Flav a chef too. I'm a chef, we supposed to have a cook off the door. Shout out to Flav. But how the fuck did Flav, first of all, what was Flav doing in San Antonio? Let's start with that.
Starting point is 00:45:53 And then secondly, how did Flav get in the interview about after the game? That was the most amazing shit to me the whole night. You know what I'm saying? No, he'd be everywhere. We were in the same suite for the Super Bowl, and I was sitting next to him. Him and his girl came next to me for dinner.
Starting point is 00:46:11 Like, just randomly. No, no, no. Flay be out and about. Flay introduced Wu-Tang when I went to see the Wu-Tang concert. Flay be everywhere. But to be on NBA TV, where the nigga would probably never go out and do an interview again, or this was his first interview.
Starting point is 00:46:27 I'm not talking about flavors in the background, Flav- like, yeah, boy, they killed him. That's amazing. That was the most amazing shit I've seen about the whole situation. Shut up, Flav-o-Flaver, for sure. Okay, so tonight, the Spurs will play the Sixers. For sure. Okay. So tonight the Spurs will play the Sixers. Underdog has Chris Paul at eight and a half assists Mace. Do you have him higher or lower? Yeah, I'm gonna go higher. Chris Paul going out, you know,
Starting point is 00:46:56 this is his retirement seat. So I'm gonna give him the benefit. Okay, Cam. He should have one at eight. I'm gonna go higher. Okay, Jeremy Sohans at fifteen and one of eight. I'm gonna go higher. Okay, Jeremy Sohan's at 15 and a half points. Do you have him higher or lower? Higher.
Starting point is 00:47:09 Mace? Higher. Okay, and Quentin Grimes is at 25 and a half points. Do you have him higher or lower? Mace? Lower. I'm gonna lower. Okay.
Starting point is 00:47:23 Quentin, you gotta chill. Okay. Make sure out of chill. Make sure you all download the underdog app and you can make your picks too. So the Celtics, they were sold for $6.1 billion to an investment group led by William Chisholm. This is a record for a North American sports team surpassing the $6.5 billion Josh Harris paid for the NFL's commander. So Maurice, what do you think of this $6.1 billion purchase?
Starting point is 00:47:50 Let me talk about it real quick. How's 6.1 more than 6.5? 6.05. Oh, 6.05, I thought you said 6.5. I was like, maybe we'll catch it, but yeah. All right, gotcha, let's be clear. Yeah, I was about to say, these new kids got a new way to count.
Starting point is 00:48:06 Yeah. My fault, y'all. Nah, you good. Maurice. The first thing I did, I was like, man, where the fuck did they get this money from? I just started looking into the ownership group of who bought the team. I'm interested to find out, you know, six point, whatever billion dollars, just saying like some indiscriminate sum of money. And I went to the
Starting point is 00:48:34 guy's website and see that this man owned all types of software companies. And I was looking to see if it was something I was familiar with. And if you go to his website, or the company's website, I'm pretty sure you'll see about 45 companies you've never heard. But I was thinking to myself like, it got to be a shit ton of money in the software industry that I know, but know about. And it made me inquisitive to figure out the software world, software world, if I could. But that was my initial thought, like who the fuck has all this money to just pay six point whatever, a billion 14? Yeah, this, my first point goes back to something you said earlier, Mo. They could find the money. People can find the money when it's,
Starting point is 00:49:16 if you direct them to what they need to get, they could find the money. So, stat, you might need to get paid. For the whole thing. money so stat you might need to get paid. He's finding $6.05 billion dollars. The money is out here. Somebody's getting paid, you know. And the next thing I thought about was he sold it at a perfect time. It's perfect timing. Soon as they win the championship, he puts it on the market, because that's the difference. The difference is, you're selling a championship franchise. That's why the value is so high. It's not just because it was the Boston Celtics. I think it has something also to do with it being a previous championship team
Starting point is 00:50:05 or the present day championship Boston Celtics. And I think that's what got them the money. So, you know, when you're a winner, Title Town, we get the money. Well, I write this, I was just thinking like, yo, it'd be games beyond the games, man. We losing. We losing bad, man.
Starting point is 00:50:31 Just sick of it. You know why? Cause we sit there and be like, Oprah got two billion. Jay-Z got a bill. Then Kanye get 1.7 billion. Yeah, them niggas got billion. Them niggas, look at we ain't got no fucking money out here. None of us, none of us. They ain't got no damn money.
Starting point is 00:50:48 Oprah and Jay-Z put their money together, still can't afford the Boston South. Throw all my money in with it. We still can't get to the fucking Boston South. They ain't got losing out here, man. I'm sick of it, man. I am sick of it. I'm sick of it.
Starting point is 00:51:04 And this is what I be talking about. I'm sick of it, man. I am sick of it. I'm sick of it. And this is what I be talking about. I had this conversation recently, man. And niggas be laughing when I be talking and it don't be fucking funny. You have to invent things that people need. And when it, and don't get me wrong,
Starting point is 00:51:19 software is not necessarily a necessity, but almost is. They took away pay phones. They took away 411, where you could call for information. They made it where you have to have some type of technology in your pocket. Now the software company that bought it, I'm not sure what kind of software they evolved in, but obviously it's some lucrative shit
Starting point is 00:51:39 to where they have a spare $6.1 billion. That's first and foremost. But I'd just be like, yo bro, is Gainsby on the games and we ain't even in the fucking arena, let alone on the bench or the back burner. We are losing. We be sitting hyped over, and another B, and another B, and another B.
Starting point is 00:52:01 Ain't enough Bs, man. It's not enough to get the Celtics, man. And don't get me wrong, that's a nigga, and I'm not talking about Jay-Z because the reason why I respect Jay-Z is a hustler and a businessman, so everything else, because you watched him actually grind and get that same thing like with Floyd Mayweather.
Starting point is 00:52:19 You sat there and watched Floyd grind and get his money. Floyd literally had to fight for his money, fight. But all the people I just named combined all their money still can't get the Celtics. This is what I'm trying to say. All the money combined still can't get the Celtics. And like I said, I got pockets changed compared to these niggas.
Starting point is 00:52:39 We can't get the, I'm throwing myself at it. We can't get the Celtics. We can't do nothing about it. When are they going to let us play? When are we going to be able to get some of this chicken to where we can get something? There's no black owners in the NFL. Not one. And they ain't letting us in. I'll tell you that right now. We ain't going to see it. None of us in this room going to see it. We ain't going to be allowed to see us in the, oh, no, no, no, you can forget about that.
Starting point is 00:53:06 We gonna be dead and gone with Thomas, the NFL owner that's black. No. No fucking no. You might get a little sprinkle in the NBA, a little Michael Jordan here and there, like, but no, no, no, no, NFL, you can, that's the real- You leave majority on him? Who?
Starting point is 00:53:20 You leave majority on him? You gonna be a punch baller. Majority on me? I mean, you didn't write me, Majority. Don't, listen, man, don't say and talk about no damn Magic Johnson with 1%. No disrespect to Magic, that's my nigga. I know you wasn't about to throw Magic in there. You better not, Murda. Now we pumping Magic, Magic my man, that 1.5%.
Starting point is 00:53:41 Let's cut it the fuck out. Stop. Magic might got a hot 6%. Let's cut it out Murda. We sit there saying that. I knew where you was going. Cause look I like- You gotta start with six to get to 51 though.
Starting point is 00:53:59 What happened? You gotta start with six to get to 51. Listen Murda, I'm up here with Magic. You know we up here, look, I promote Magic. I say the command is turned around because of Bob Mayans, Magic Johnson, Magic Johnson ought to win, Magic Johnson on the, we ain't no Magic, got two and a half percent.
Starting point is 00:54:16 We, hey, listen, it's a start. It's a start. I'm with it. I'm with it, it's a start. But Magic can't make a call and be like, yo, listen, I don't want no more parquet floors in the room. Hey, Magic, you wild. Yo, you gonna be in the house?
Starting point is 00:54:34 I'll see you later. Click, nigga, Magic can't bust no moves with the Dodgers. He can make suggestions with the committee. And listen, I would love for Magic to come on the show. Come on, Magic, tell me I don't know what the fuck I'm talking about. I would love for you to come to Magic, tell me I don't know what the fuck I'm talking about. I would love for you to come to me and tell me I don't know what the fuck I'm talking about.
Starting point is 00:54:48 I get it, because I'm not in that room. I would love to get schooled and learn and, well, we know how much percentage you got in the joint. We know what you said. I give you a great example, right? Let's use another example. Let's take- Are you calling them a token?
Starting point is 00:55:04 Are you saying there's a token? No, no, no. Magic, I heard Magic. I forget how much it was. So don't quote me. Magic got to take 80 million out to get that percentage. He ain't go in with the token. He wasn't he wasn't the face of so it could be a black magic with his pocket. Cool. 80, 100 million. I forget. It was something like 80 million for like 5%, some crazy number. And I'm like, damn, 80 M's for five? But Magic ain't stupid.
Starting point is 00:55:31 He probably figure out, all right, this is gonna, yeah, I'm gonna grab on 110 after the next year and a half. I don't know the math, I'm just speculating, but he didn't get ownership of that team for free. He had to put money in. So I'm not gonna say Magic's a toga, absolutely not. But what I was gonna say is this, we know what majority means.
Starting point is 00:55:50 Majority means when you win, you make the moves. Absolutely, you make the moves, but not just make the moves. You sit there and you get to hold the trophy. You get to say, we are the Western Conference final champions. Mark Cuban, you stay over there.
Starting point is 00:56:08 You're not the majority owner anymore. Hey, I know y'all guys don't know me, but I own the Mavericks now. And yes, we are the Western Conference champions. Ta-da! Mark Cuban over there drinking a beer because Mark Cuban took 200, pardon me, $2.3 million and he's not the majority owner anymore.
Starting point is 00:56:25 So you just relax. You think if Mark Cuban was the majority owner of the marriage, that Luca Donitz would be in LA right now? Absolutely not. So let's get majority and minority clear. Minority, you can stick around, but you can't bust the moves. Let's be clear.
Starting point is 00:56:44 That's first and foremost but I want to play the games me I want to get in the games we can we I don't know if we're gonna make it we gotta come up fast with a pocket rocket a phone dazzler I don't fucking know we need to come up with something real quick to get in the game because we're out the game we think we killed him like oh you know he caught a hundred they caught two hundred they caught a billy oh he caught two billy what can you get you you you the hood is rich a hood rich you can walk in with white trash and not just white trash people who's wealthy i don't want to get and play damn play a billion dollars or damn play two billion dollars
Starting point is 00:57:26 What is it going to get you in the in the upper extra large room? Is it going to get you up there with the owners? And be like yo these niggas own shit, you know niggas with niggas like robert craff and them laughing certain niggas Oh, yeah, y'all have a billion. That's cute That's nice. I, you have half a billion, that's cute. That's nice. I remember I had my first half a billion. I wanna get in the game, man. Congratulations to whoever bought the Boston Celtics, but let's think about this, right?
Starting point is 00:57:53 Let's think about it. And that's the second part to my answer for this question. Is that. Think about it, right? Do the people, now me, if I own the Boston Celtics and I wanna sell it. I get it. If I own a Boston Celtics and I wanna sell it. If I own a Boston Celtics and I wanna sell it, I need to keep my floor seats forever if I sell this to you.
Starting point is 00:58:14 Cause I don't know what the person with the Boston Celtics doing their off time, maybe they sick of going to the game. We won the chip to center. What are you doing your off time if you own a Boston Celtics? Well, I need my tickets for that. I need some skybox joints.
Starting point is 00:58:28 I mean, they gotta be part of rules because this is my little pastime. I've been dealing with it for however many years that I've been owning it. Secondly, are these new owners even basketball savvy? We see what's going on with the Mavericks. The owner wants to move to Dallas. Pardon me.
Starting point is 00:58:44 The Dallas Maverick owner wants to move to Vegas. The NBA said, you can't move to Vegas. She said, okay, cool. I want to put a casino in the arena in Dallas. They said, well, no, you can't do that in Neva. What you mean? I thought I owned the team. I do what you want.
Starting point is 00:59:00 Yes, you own the team, but there's rules and stipulations to where you gotta have permission from the other owners, permission from the commissioner. It's loops, circles, bells and whistles. You gotta go through it, move a team to a different city. And you just can't throw a casino in the arena. I fuck Luca, y'all. I'm pissing Luca out to the Lakers.
Starting point is 00:59:19 Not saying she said that, she ain't like that to me. Okay, you made a couple points. said that seemed like that to me. Yeah. Okay. You made a couple points. So one, apparently the guy who just bought the team, he is a true diehard Celtics fan. He was born and raised in the Boston area. So he is privy to what Boston's got going on. But hold on, Dr. Couture upset because I want more information. I like your information.
Starting point is 00:59:42 Being a fan and running the organization is two different things, man. You know, you can be the fan, the biggest fan in the world. And listen, if I sat there and owned and bought the Knicks tomorrow, do I really know how to run the whole Knicks organization? No, I would have to sit there and study.
Starting point is 01:00:00 I don't know what James Dohling gotta do. I don't know how much niggas selling popcorn get. I don't know how much it costs to motherfuckin' sweep the floors, keep the lights on, et cetera. It's a lot, and don't know what James Dole got to do. I don't know how much niggas selling popcorn get. I don't know how much it costs to motherfuckers sweep the floors, keep the lights on, et cetera. It's a lot, and don't get me wrong, I'm not acting like it's Chinese checkers, but it's a lot of homework that goes into running the business. We got jersey sales. We got stipulations on different shit you could wear on the court.
Starting point is 01:00:18 It's a lot to be an owner and knowing what's going on. Sorry, Stack, go ahead. I know, all good, because it is interesting, but he basically was saying he understands the role the team plays in the community the owner and knowing what's going on. Sorry, Stack, go ahead. I know, all good, because it is interesting, but he basically was saying he understands the role the team plays in the community, and it's different from any other season. He understands there's a responsibility
Starting point is 01:00:31 as a leader of the organization to the people of Boston. He's up for the challenge, so he seems very... What's the responsibility as the owner? He ain't say his responsibility. But when the time comes, he sounds like, well, the time is now, he sounds like he's ready. I'm sure we're going to hear more interviews from him. Second part with Magic Johnson.
Starting point is 01:00:50 So he actually invested 240 million for a 4% minority stake with the commanders. So that's how much that cost. Look at that. My bad. I didn't even mean to disrespect you, Magic. Sorry, bro. I am so sorry. Caught a Billy for 4%.
Starting point is 01:01:04 We ain't never getting no team. Magic, sorry bro, I am so sorry. Caught a Billy for 4%. We ain't never getting no team. Yeah. No. Damn. We ain't never getting no team. And then the last thing I was gonna add, there are actually no black majority owners
Starting point is 01:01:20 in any of the four major North American professional leagues. So. Well, it was Michael Jordan. Yeah, then he sold it. So there are not. Go ahead, Mo. So just to be clear. Yeah, Mo.
Starting point is 01:01:33 Remember last year, I was telling y'all, I remember this conversation. I remember we had a conversation. You have to have a billion dollars of liquid cash to even be considered to be a billion dollars of liquid cash to even be considered to be a majority owner. And that's what he was talking about, keeping private equity out and you not being able to take loans from private equity to buy your position.
Starting point is 01:01:52 And they, they was trying to stop these Saudi guys, you know, cause you see the Saudi, what they did to golf and the Saudi guys, what they did or what they're trying to do to, um, to boxing and yeah, they were, they were basically saying you can't borrow money from any of them to basically buy your position within football. But to your point, you have to have a billion in cash, which means you have to make a couple billion to get taxed on it to even have the billion for that.
Starting point is 01:02:17 And then you have to be voted in by all these other old white dudes. And so I don't want to say it's impossible, but the ceiling, or the fence is high. The fence is well high mobile because what these niggas is going to do is pass it down to they kids and they kids and they kids and it's going to be like, yo, what the fuck is up?
Starting point is 01:02:35 What the NFL tried to do is appease us and give us the Rooney rule. Well, at least we letting y'all interview for shit. What else y'all want from us? God damn, we made a whole rule for you motherfuckers. So it's gonna be really high. Secondly, to what you just said, Mo, thank you for that knowledge.
Starting point is 01:02:53 If I didn't sell drugs to get my joint or do anything illegal, I ain't rob a bank, don't worry where I'm getting my two billion from. Saudi, China, whatever. Now y'all won't worry about who my friends is. If a nigga won't let me three billion, no, that don't count. Why? What if I fuck with a nigga who got a trillion dollars,
Starting point is 01:03:14 cause there's trillionaires out there, you know, Momoko Duffy, dead and gone, but they got a trillion. What if we be like, yo, that's smart nigga, get that nigga 20 billion. Pat, I wanna go buy the Washington Wizards. No, no, no, no, no. We know you got it from Turkey. Your man, the A-Rab nigga.
Starting point is 01:03:32 What is it? How is that a concern if I was gifted that money? That's crazy. And then last thing. So the family that is selling it to this new person, they originally bought the Celtics back in 2002 for $360 million. Tom, that's gotta be wrong. The Celtics cannot have to be worth more than that in 2002.
Starting point is 01:03:59 That's how much they bought it for. No, I can't jack that. Don't think it's that bad, Chim. That's what it says. That's crazy. No, I can't jack that. That's what it says. That's crazy. No, I gotta do my. You can't. You can't. That's crazy. It's a crazy flip. No, no, no, that's so just is no way we could have got to work. We could have got 360 in 2002 murder. You should have been speaking to me. You could have got it that year, man.
Starting point is 01:04:26 We got to let you fence up. This is verified source. It's just crazy. You hear it, it's like, dang, the flip is crazy. And it's like, no matter how hard we keep trying to keep up, it's just going to keep going more and more and more. So I don't know. Like Mo said, they got the gator, but it's a let you.
Starting point is 01:04:42 360 million, 2002. Crazy. We could have got 360, Marla. Like Mo said, they got the Gator, but it's a let you 360 million 2002 crazy crazy. We could have got 360 murder. Crazy. I don't know. It makes you sick because you're like, dang. Yeah. Cause you know why it's always. Yeah. You know what? Cause 360 isn't out of reach right now, but now the Celtics is out of reach. now, but now the Celtics is out of reach. Crazy, crazy, crazy times.
Starting point is 01:05:10 But hey, that's all the time that we have for today. Maurice, pleasure to have you as always. Stop, get paid. Get paid young nigga, get paid. Get paid young nigga, get paid. Shout out Mo, appreciate you nigga, see you. Shout out Mo, appreciate you, man. Good to see you. Bye, you're Celtics. Yes, sir.
