Jeannie Bus might not be done with the Lakers as team governor just yet, guys, the beneficiaries of the Bus family trust, which is made up of six of Jerry Bus's children,
Starting point is 00:07:34 Jeannie, Jim, Johnny, Janie, Joey, and Jesse conducted a vote last week regarding the selling, received four votes necessary to approve the intent to sell. That would mean the three trustees, Jeannie, Janie, and Joey, must enact the actual sale. But after hours of the trust plans to sell, they were revealed attorney for Jeannie Bus sent a letter to the lawyers of the other bus siblings demanded the client's name,
Starting point is 00:07:58 be named publicly as the organization controlling owner that the trust shall take no action on this supposed sale to final 17.8% state. The lawyer denied that a vote had taken place and claimed the trust could not legally sell its shares in the team. If the trust was successfully execute the sale, Genie Bus would not be able to remain as a team's governor
Starting point is 00:08:21 as the league rules requires at least 15% ownership to serve in that role. Bus retained her governorship for a period of at least five years as part of the deal to sell the controlling ownership of the Lakers to Walter last summer. Joe, this drama, I don't think we're surprised by this
Starting point is 00:08:40 considering how she handled the situation last year when she sold the team, she ended up firing her brothers, and this was their opportunity to get their revenge back. Joe, how do you think this thing plays out? I think it's going to be ugly. Okay, Ocho, you know what it takes?
Starting point is 00:08:53 It takes me to when I heard Mark Cuban say he didn't want to leave, you know, the Mavericks to his kids for reasons kind of similar to this right here. Because it'll divide you, bro. It'll divide you. You know what I mean? different portions. So I don't know, I think it's going to get ugly before it can get worse,
Starting point is 00:09:09 bro. I think because Jeannie being the governor and their dad, Jerry Buss, I think this was his dream and plan, not his kids. So therefore, you know, they willing to sell it off and get what they can get from. But I think Jenny still wants to be involved with the Lakers, but I think it's going to be ugly. I think so too, Joe. And I think you're right. I think it gets ugly before it gets better. I think the thing is, remind me a very similar situation with the Broncos. and how that situation played out last year. I think the thing is for Jeannie. See, Jeannie doesn't want to sell because she's
Starting point is 00:09:39 in an advantageous situation. Yeah. She's a governor. Yeah. Nobody knows who the other other. You might know their name if you're familiar. You die hard Lakers. You know the other siblings.
Starting point is 00:09:49 But only Jeannie is front and center. Yep. And when she sold it, she fired her brothers. How do you, oh Joe, let that be a situation. Y'all got something. Your grandma left y'all something. Okay. You're like, you know what?
Starting point is 00:10:03 I'm gonna sell my thing and then I'm gonna fire Chauncey. Chancy gets an opportunity in that revenge, especially if y'all not close. Yeah. He's like, okay, oh, you want to sell you want to sell to cut your boy out on Joe? Okay, I appreciate that track honk, but I got some for you. Yeah, yeah, but also, Uncle, you got to understand too. When we talk about that kind of money, when you talk about pride, you talk about
Starting point is 00:10:25 egos, $750,000,000, maybe more. And we talk about something like that that's left of people, especially if it's not your, your vision. you know, it was someone else's vision that you inherited, you don't, you don't cherish it the same. You don't have a passion for it, you know, the way the person who had that dream. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:45 Yeah, it left it to you. So it's tough. And most of the time when it comes to sibling to Joe, Uncle Joe, you know how it is. You know how it is. Listen, sometimes it's as small as not a grand on the front seat, a shotgun. Could you imagine the Lakers, a team with that kind of money involved?
Starting point is 00:11:03 that kind of money at stake, it's hard for everybody be in liming and agree on one thing. I just, you know what? I'd rather sell than fire my brother and sister. I just would.
Starting point is 00:11:16 I can't. I can't. Because this organization, I refuse to allow this organization to tear the very fabric of the sharp foundation away. This is why a lot of the stuff that I have, I'm gonna leave my kids.
Starting point is 00:11:27 But it's like memorabilia and stuff like that, you got to get up off it. Because somebody's going to say, well, I wanted this, not that. Well, I wanted that and not this. Well, how come he got this and she didn't get that? And then you get other people chirping in their ears.
Starting point is 00:11:43 You know, look, it might be, it could be the family, but it might be family, it might be wives and husbands. Like, hold on. Why she always, why she always did everybody videos? Why she always getting the trophy? Why they're always showing the camera on her? We ain't get no shine. We just, he's just as much as our dad as it is.
Starting point is 00:12:03 hers. Yeah. And he gave them all the Jay name all of him. His name is Dr. Jerry. Everybody got a Jay in their name. Jesse, Janie, Joey. So it's, I'm not surprised by this. I'm not surprised. You knew this like, because when the father passed, the brothers became a general managers and they ran into the ground. They were terrible at it. She ended up getting enough of the vote. She ousted them. And then they had other days, so they had different roles. And when she sold the team last year to Mark Walters, she ended up finding them. Yeah. And it's like, you're no longer employed here.
Starting point is 00:12:39 Come on, that ain't, that ain't how you treat no family now. Come on now. I understand a job is a job, but family, you, I don't, I don't get it. Ojo, you got to look at it like, you know, everybody ain't going to have the same relationship like you, your brother and your sisters and them have. You know what I mean? We don't know how this thing has tore them apart as a family and what their, you know, what their considerations are because the males in the family,
Starting point is 00:13:05 maybe they felt they wanted control that Jeannie has. You know what I mean? So it's probably divided them to where, man, they probably don't speak. They probably damn they don't talk. You know, it's probably real ugly, bro. I'm sure it is. I'm sure it is because like you said,
Starting point is 00:13:19 and see, Joe, you mentioned it earlier. When I had the thing with Mark Cuban, what did he say? He said, I'm selling it. Yeah, yeah. He says, I already know, I know what it is due to a family. Yeah. Because somebody is going to want, control, Ocho. Somebody is going to want 51%.
Starting point is 00:13:35 And the other's like, hold on, why we got to divide up 49 and you get the lion's share. Even if you divide up with 100%, somebody's going to have more and then somebody's going to swing their weight around. But you're right, Joe, everybody doesn't have the same type of relationship. And you might have had the same type of relationship as Sterling and Shera and Shannon Sharp. But all of a sudden, money comes into play. Power comes into play. That kind of real estate.
Starting point is 00:14:02 comes into play. We ain't talking about a couple of hundred thousand dollars. We're talking about $12.5 billion. Yeah. Yeah. Well, she sold what she sold to the rest of the rest of it went for the two and a half billion, but they sold the rest of it. I mean, I would have just done everything. You're never going to get this opportunity again. It's 12.5 billion. You sold it for 12.5 billion in 2026. What you think is going to be worth in 2036, 2046, 66. So normally when you said get off property like this, you're never, never going to be in a situation unless you obey, unless you want to the top 10 richest people in the world.
Starting point is 00:14:37 Yeah. You're never going to be able to buy this again. And I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure, Jerry is like, hold on. Hey, Gerald, Stephen, Charlotte. We ain't going to have this kind of problem, are we? We, we're not going to have this because this supposed to be, this supposed to be passed down from generation.
Starting point is 00:14:59 This is supposed to be like Riggly. This is supposed to be like, uh, M&M Mars company. This supposed to be generations, Ford. This thing ain't supposed to stop at three generations. This thing's supposed to be seven generations. If they're still playing football in 2200.
Starting point is 00:15:16 Hey. They talk about the great, great, great, great. Jerry Jones founded this, Bucke purchased this team in 1989. It's just, I hate, I honestly do guys. I hate when families fight. Yeah, hey, because think about it, when the head huncho goes down, you know, it's a death in the family or whatever the case may be.
Starting point is 00:15:36 And this is left to his kids. Bro, we ain't just talking about N's. We're talking about bees. You feel what I'm saying? And that can divide a family, Uncle, Ocho. Hell yeah. Hey, what are we talking about? Hey, you got to understand.
Starting point is 00:15:49 Think about this, right? I'm sure you've had issues like this. Joe, I'm sure you've had issues like this. It is our family get divided when it come to money. Hello. Hello. We're talking about most of the time. Hey, you know, so if you think about it like that in terms of sometimes we have issues with our own people, our own loved ones, you know, on a much, much, much smaller scale as opposed to what they dealing with. So you can imagine they still human. They have feelings as well. But when you had that kind of money at stake, when you had that kind of power owning and having access to that kind of money, it makes it even, it makes it 20 times worse.
Starting point is 00:16:26 What happens is a lot of times, and I don't know how their trust is written, but it's someone that's written a trust, okay, let's just say for the sake of argument, Ocho, your kids, you got X amount of dollars. What happens if one of your kids were to pay us? Now, does the money revert to the other kids? How do it go to your daughter's husband?
Starting point is 00:16:49 Does it go to your grandkids? So it might be a situation in that trust where something happens. Guess what? That money goes to the other. other kids. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:58 And not to the, not to the original family kids or why. Right. How is it written? How is the trust written? They're like, hold on. We're getting older.
Starting point is 00:17:12 We get, oh, Joe, it ain't like they, ain't like they in the 20s. Hello. Joe, they're not 20 now. They own up there. I think Jenny probably like 61, 62.
Starting point is 00:17:22 She's not, I don't think she's the oldest. So you started getting up there in age and you start looking at your own mortality. Yeah. Like, hold on. If something happens to me, all this money, I didn't get an opportunity. I want to enjoy myself.
Starting point is 00:17:35 Let me go ahead and take, let me go ahead and take my cut. Like Ocho, go ahead and get this private jet since he won't do it. So I can fly everywhere I want to go. I ain't got to worry about no lines. I ain't got to worry about nothing. I can go anywhere I want to go.
Starting point is 00:17:49 That's the thing. It's very important because the last thing you want anything to do is the tie up in probate. Because when it comes to probate, don't nobody get wealthy, but the state and the lawyers. Mm-hmm. That's it. And that's what I tried to explain.
Starting point is 00:18:02 My kids, we're going to, we go into a, they call it child modification. I don't know if, I don't know if that was the term that they used with you guys, but that's what they told me it was, it was child modification. When the modification was, I wasn't getting no modification down. I was always, they was getting a modification up. At the end of the day, bro, look here. I told my kids, Mom, I said, look here. At the end of the day, only three people, only two people,
Starting point is 00:18:29 walking out of here going to be still millionaires, me and the lawyers, what you doing? What you doing? What you doing? Only three of us, Ocho, your lawyer, my lawyer, and me. What you do with? That's, A, that's a good line right there, right? But I'm being, I'm being true.
Starting point is 00:18:50 I said, I've been over back before you. You say you want a down payment on this, I got it. You wanted furniture for that, I got it. You wanted to send the kid to $15, $20,000 private school? I did it. I've done everything. you ask what more do you want? Hello. Hello.
Starting point is 00:19:03 What more can I give you? I really, we had what we had, but it's over. And it took us a while to get to the point where you know, we dropped the kids off don't nobody saying anything. I was like, what are we doing? You think you hurt me, I think I'm hurting you, we're hurting them.
Starting point is 00:19:25 Let's do it right, we can do better than this. I know we better than this. You educated, I'm educated. Hey, it takes it. Hey, I got lucky. You got extremely lucky. I want to consider it. Look, I'm just saying we, everybody was aligned with the same vision, the same goals, the
Starting point is 00:19:44 same long-term goals, you know. So I got lucky. And obviously with that situation, is we didn't want to, we didn't want to take anything that route. You know, we ain't trying to give money away, huh? We're trying to keep, we trying to keep that money, you know, circulating through us in, in general, just like you just said, hey, Joe, anytime anybody need anything. Oh, you know, you good.
Starting point is 00:20:04 You know, you go. I'm talking about, I'm talking emergencies, you know? Yeah, but I don't have to be. Don't be used to call. That was what I'm saying. And see, listen, you know, you know, you know, it's funny. I also don't get that. It has to be, hey, Joe, they have to be in dire need.
Starting point is 00:20:18 Because I'm the last option. They definitely, they don't want, they don't want to come to me first. If they call me and say, boy, I need you, boy. I know it's, I know it's serious. And they've, they've exhausted all. all opportunities. Hey, I know,
Starting point is 00:20:31 I know exactly, I know exactly what you're talking about, especially what Unk talking about. Hey, man, it takes a while, it takes a while to get to that point unc talking about to where y'all really,
Starting point is 00:20:41 it did, Joe. To where y'all can. 10, 10 years. Yeah, for y'all to really cope in and make sure everything. It takes a minute to get to that point,

Listen to Joy 101 with Hoda Kotby on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Nancy Glass, host of the Burden of Guilt Season 3 podcast. This is a story about a horrendous situation that destroyed two families. It started more than seven years ago when Cindy and Kenny were two 40-somethings who had just gotten engaged. Days later, they walked into a scorched earth war they never saw coming. Turn around and place your hands by your back.
Starting point is 00:24:52 The cops given to my house and threw me in jail. And to Cindy's surprise, her fiance, Kenner, Kenny was charged with abusing one of her children. I never once doubted Kenny, and I always doubted the accusation. On season three of Burden of Guilt, you'll hear a story about the length someone will go to in order to get what they want. This case has got to be one of the most despicable. Listen to season three of Burden of Guilt on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Joe, you got to think
Starting point is 00:25:29 every time I get a raise, they go back they want child modification. If somebody think that somebody's making more than the other, they want more. So I'm going through this every two years. Yeah. That's why people talk about oh, Shedda got 10 cases in court.
Starting point is 00:25:44 It was child modification. Ten times I got my black-ass drug back to court. I don't made a guy partner in a law firm. Damn. Yeah. So I'm dealing with that in the off season, sometimes during the season,
Starting point is 00:26:01 afraid to go outside because, you know, hey, you go outside, you Sheldon Sharp, yeah, before I knew it, they hand you a piece of paper. Ooh. They didn't care. They didn't even let you know. They didn't get, hold on, they didn't want to want it.
Starting point is 00:26:14 Because they want to embarrass you. Y'all, they got the people coming to my, man, I don't want to get, but I'm just saying. It took me, it took me a while to lose this anger because I was angry, I was hurt. And I didn't blame anybody. I didn't blame anybody but myself because I put myself, my behavior, my reckless behavior,
Starting point is 00:26:32 put myself in here so I couldn't be mad at anybody but myself. But I'm like, damn, man. Hey, hey, hey, uh, Ocho, he showed up to my door. I'm like, damn, how did this dude getting the gate? Who the hell is it? Look, I go to the front door, because you can see, it's got some glance on the front door.
Starting point is 00:26:52 He got his phone right here. It's recording. Recorded. Yeah, he recorded, but it's, you know, I ain't really. really pay that much attention to. I opened a dope. I'm like, damn, what's up, bro?
Starting point is 00:27:02 He said, oh, man, sorry about that, but I got to hurry up and gave me my, hurry up and serve me. Wait, you, Joe, you touched it. He served me in dip, oh, Joe. They got, they got me, he got me on camera. Oh, so that's the show, too, which you actually open the door and get you.
Starting point is 00:27:21 Actually, yes. Damn, man. Oh, Joe, I don't be through it. So, so what? buses are going through the anger and the frustration. We've never, we've always been close. Uh, it was my sister's responsibility to make sure my brother and I. And then when she got, you know, grown and without doing her.
Starting point is 00:27:38 It was my brother's responsibility. So we've always been close. Yeah, we had, we yes, we argued and we fight just like nor. So I'm not finished sitting here and say, oh, we wouldn't, didn't fight. Or I didn't try to bust my sister upside the head. She didn't make me cry and I didn't try to fight my brother. I try to fight everybody. Hey.
Starting point is 00:27:55 Hey. I ain't fit to sit here and tell nobody that we had a perfect upbringing. And we were always like, my brother and I was just like this. But we weren't. But, man, it's tough, bro. It's tough. And so I'm not surprised. I'm really not surprised.
Starting point is 00:28:13 Me neither. Considering how it was moving and we saw this when she had a vote and she ousted the brothers before Joe and Ocho, you know it's just a matter of time. We see it now. Everybody that wrong, the guy that's in this administration, everybody that wronged him, what's he doing? Getting restribution. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:34 Mm-hmm. Yeah. So I'm not surprised at all at this situation. I hate it like this. The Bus family is highly thought of, Dr. Jerry Bus and what he meant to that city and what the Lakers mean to that city. And to have them going, I can assure you, he's rolling over in his grave. Rest his soul, Dr. Bus.
Starting point is 00:28:55 But he rolled over with grace. He did not want his kids to be like this. No, so. No. And it's probably, think about this. It's probably bad during the holidays. They probably don't get together. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:29:08 With this type of money, y'all are into it. Man, please. It's probably hard to be around somebody like that, bro. Hey, Joe. Hey, hold on. Who told the story about, they had to stop people from fighting over $20? Me.
Starting point is 00:29:20 Me. Me. Not. Joe, we took about $20. Oh, Joe. Think about how they were asking. about $20. Can you imagine? Ocho.
Starting point is 00:29:29 Ocho. I'm talking about about to draw guns and everything. Ocho, over 20 bucks, bro. Over 20 bucks. So can you imagine, imagine billions though. What if whatever, whatever. I had two aunts stop, stop speaking for 30 years, because one of them said something about the other one.
Starting point is 00:29:47 Hey, their ego and pride. And they live, they live four blocks with each other for 30 years. And they didn't speak for 30? Yeah. Hey, ego and pride, bro. Man, Joe, I'm too bad. Look here. People on my side of the family, man,
Starting point is 00:30:04 their whole grudges. I mean, I had to get up out of that. I'm like, well, damn. Because I used to be like, I used to be like that. I really was. I really was. You know, if I broke up with somebody, I'm racing everybody.
Starting point is 00:30:17 I'm racing you and everybody that I met while I'm with you. Yeah. They go. Damn. That, whoa. Hold on, hold on, hold on, Ocho. And then, not only at my race, him, but here, when I see you,
Starting point is 00:30:31 I'm acting like we never knew each other before. Yeah. Keep on, yeah. I don't know. Yeah. Wait, so everybody catching a straight because you broke up with the person. Everybody that I met while, everybody that I met while we were together, they're gone.
Starting point is 00:30:46 You go. Man, I'm in the grocery store and I see them and they don't see me. Yeah. I move on. I move on over. Hey, let me, hey, y'all too petty, boy. Y'all pity.
Starting point is 00:31:04 Because you build some great friendships and relationship with your partner's friends, you know, even though y'all don't work out, they still be cool, no. Because I don't want you to break. What, uh, you heard, you heard from such and such? Yeah, yeah. No.
Starting point is 00:31:17 And if I don't hear from her again, that's too soon. Y'all are tough, well, y'all are tough crowd. Tough crowd. But it took me what, now, you know what, now I can make, I'm at peace. I'm at peace. Yes. I'm cool now. Because what I realized, Joe, out in Ocho, I was allowing people to hold my feelings hostage.
Starting point is 00:31:38 They had gone on with their lives, but I was still in bondage. My emotions was tied up into what had happened in the relationship. So I wasn't free. Yeah. Yeah. Mayor Porter used to always tell a boy, there can be no freedom without forgiveness. Mm. Just because you forgive somebody, that don't mean you have to bring.
Starting point is 00:31:56 and bring them in your circle. That don't mean you have to be with them again. Anybody that have wronged you. I'm not just talking about an intimate, a personal relationship. I'm talking about somebody that was a friend. Just because you forgive said individual, that doesn't mean that you invite them back in.
Starting point is 00:32:13 You'll be a big damn fool if you did something like that. Facts. I agree with you on that. You ever thought about this too, Uncle Joe? When it comes to forgiveness and forgiving people for things that they've done, most of the time, whether male or female, most of the time you forgive somebody for doing something, whatever it may be, right?
Starting point is 00:32:34 You know, as you move on in life and deal with other people, you still run into those same problems no matter what. At times, it's still the same thing. Joe, you think about your experience. Yes. You think about your experience with dating in the chat. If you're a woman, if you're a female, you left guys alone for a certain reason or fellas, if you left a girl alone for a certain reason, you do realize you run into the same. problem the same baggage regardless of you go until you find that person who's baggage you're willing to unpack you're never gonna find it as perfect as
Starting point is 00:33:03 you like it but but but Ocho for me it's more patterns for me you know what I mean it's like if we if I develop a pattern and then you start to break that pattern then you know I'm gonna notice that you know what I mean so I'm gonna you know I'm gonna you know I'm gonna bring it to the front by outside of that Or I'll be chilling. Me, look, I'm, my upbringing has a lot to do with how I am. We didn't have much.
Starting point is 00:33:31 That's been documented. What we did have, my grandma said, boy, we ain't got much, but let's try to keep it clean. We got cement floors. I don't know if you ever been in a warehouse with a cement floor, you display water on the floor to try to keep the dust down. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:44 That's what we had to do in our home. So we didn't have much. I remember the coffee table that was broken and we put Sears and Robux and JCPenie books. to keep it from wobbling. I remember that. And so now I got some decent stuff. I'm not, I ain't got nothing that's supposed
Starting point is 00:34:00 to be on lifestyle of the rich and famous. I ain't supposed to be in better homes and garden, but it's nice Florida design, but it's mine. I work my ass off. Yeah. All I come, would you say better home. Better homes and garden. I'm not saying that my home is meticulous.
Starting point is 00:34:21 But yes. I just can't stand clutter. I can't stay in junk. And if you know that, if, if, if, if, if I know something bothers you, I'm gonna go out of my way to make sure I don't do that. Yeah. If I tell you leaving dishes in the sinks bothers me, don't do that. Right.
Starting point is 00:34:41 If I say, don't leave all this stuff. Don't leave cups at the, at the, at the, at the, at the, at the, at the, at the, if I take, don't do that. Because now you said, you basically what you're telling me, you say, F you, I don't care what you say. Yeah, I'm gonna do what I want to do. So, yeah. I don't care what you paid for this house.

I said, man, that's a, hey, I just, I was like I said, I understand, but I just worked so hard and I just, hey, me and my brother tell you the same thing. I just wanted a house with running water and central heating and cool.
Starting point is 00:37:10 If I could just get an air condition and I can get running water, that's all I wanted for a house. I mean, think about that. Let that sink in for a second, chat. You want a house. When you're growing up, you want a house that got running water and got air condition. That's all you want in your house. It ain't got to be no three, four, five bedrooms. and it ain't got to be no six bathrooms,
Starting point is 00:37:29 and it ain't got to have no dead, it ain't got to have all you wanted the house to have indoor plumbing and their condition. Hello. Man. I don't think that's asking too much, Ocho. Don't leave dishes in the scene.
Starting point is 00:37:47 No, they ain't asked for too much, bro. I mean, even though, look, when I do the dishwashers, I do the dishwasher, I put the dishes farther from the back coming forward. Because I don't want to have to pull the thing, keep pulling it further and further out and try to play stuff over.
Starting point is 00:38:00 See, if I just go ahead and do that first, and now I can stack it back to front. Yeah. See, hey, see, Joe, see, unks supposed to be learning for me. What you mean? What you mean? What you mean?

So my brother and I could live out our dreams.

After surprise sales of the Lakers, Josh Kushner and Bob Iger for a record-breaking $12.5 billion, more detail emerged by the former owner Mark Walter's brief tenure. The athletic reported that under Walters 14 months, the leadership, the Lakers conducted multiple rounds of layoff and announced significant increase in season ticket prices, with some raised more than 40%. While these moves were designed to increase profits, they created an air of uncertainty within the organization. It was also, it was, it was weird vibe last year, one well-placed league source said of the team.
Starting point is 00:50:58 It was reported that the initial expectations were for Walters' purchase of the Lakers to lead to lead them from a family ownership post-new era modernization, but few of those changes took hold. Another business decision that raised eyebrows removing a G-League affiliate from Inside El Segundo facility to Coachella near Palm Springs. The move reportedly frustrated Laker basketball executive because it is distanced. from the team is development of players and coaches. Yeah. He's under investigation. Some of his businesses are under, allegedly, and being reported that some of his businesses are under investigation
Starting point is 00:51:32 for illegal loans or something of that nature. I was reading the day where he said by the end of the year that all he could make everything, he can make it right. How are you going to do that? I guess, hey, by paying all these loans back, you know, you sold it for 10, 10 billion, $12 billion, whatever you got. So you got an extra $2.5 billion.
Starting point is 00:51:58 It's being reported that he's looking to sell his stake in Chelsea. That's a nice little chunk of change. Hey, and they jack the ticket prices up? As much as 40% and some say. Hey, 40%, they must be talking about a court side or something. Yeah, it don't even matter. 40% even if you're paying $300 for a ticket, don't you?
Starting point is 00:52:18 30%. Yeah. 40%. That's still, that's not a $300 ticket 420. And you can imagine if you paying thousands. Especially them courtsized seats. I got to call them. I got to call my guy and see, man,
Starting point is 00:52:38 what do them court side here for? I'm going to have to let you have that. Oh, yeah, they didn't want up, partner. You believe that. Yeah. Ooh. Hey, Joe, I can't be, I can't be watching the game thinking about how much I spent. That ain't no fun way to watch something.
Starting point is 00:52:54 Hey, because listen, them boys were paying top dollar for the Knicks, boy, uh, and the garden for the finals. You see how,
Starting point is 00:53:03 you see how much they made, Joe? They've had nine home games. It's reported that they made somewhere between 20 and $21 million per home game. Damn. Wait, per home game, per throughout the playoffs.
Starting point is 00:53:14 They had nine home games in the playoffs. Right. Mm. Mm. Hey, bro. That's crazy. Hey. Now, Jack, Jack's, uh,
Starting point is 00:53:31 Jack's, uh, Jacks are keep those seats. Shock, shock. ESPN reported early today that the NBA has found no evidence showing LA Clippers owner Steve Barmer funneled money through the team sponsored to pay Kaua Leonard in order to circumvent the salary cap. But a few hours later, the NBA spokesman Mike Bass issued a statement saying the ESPN article regarding the LA Clippers investigation for which the NBA declined to cooperate contain numerous and significant inaccuracies.
Starting point is 00:54:03 The result in this matter will be made clear once the investigation is concluded. Well, they got, they got to make up their mind. Now, is it, is it concluded or is it not? Because they did, I tell you what, I tell you one thing. I think this, I'm not sure being the Adam Silver is one that doesn't play, especially when he's different now, he's different to David Stern. Now, he's more of a progressive, he's more friendlier, he's more, he's more, he's more player friendly.
Starting point is 00:54:29 A little more leaner. David Stern dropped the hammer on owners, players, it don't matter. Yeah, he don't, yeah, he don't care. But I'm just saying for a report to come out today that they found no evidence, right? Then, I mean, at this point, what left is there to talk about in general?
Starting point is 00:54:49 It's Steve Palmer. He's free. He's good to go. So Kauai can now go to Toronto. Yes, but my question, Joe, is, how does a player because what's the likelihood, Ocho, you play for the Bengals. These high-end sponsors,
Starting point is 00:55:09 they're paying you back then $5 million a year. They're paying you $10 million a year. What's the likelihood of that? What's the likelihood of he having deals for $28 million? It's being reported the deal was for $28 million. What's the likelihood of that? And you know what? I know he in L.A.
Starting point is 00:55:29 And that's a huge market. And I know that's possible. But I don't know. I'm trying to think what, unless you are messy. Because here's the thing. It's not like his personality. He's not charismatic.
Starting point is 00:55:45 He's not charmed. Kobe, yes. Magic Johnson, yes. Somebody that's charismatic, that's charming, that can woo that I wanted to have and he's going to come speak and carry on. That's not what Kauai is.
Starting point is 00:55:57 Right. That's not, that doesn't, hey, as Joe would say, that don't make him no bad brother. Right. But I'm saying charismatic and charming is what sells. Yeah. That's why I thought it was fishy in the first place. I did too. I'm like, damn, how they have enough to pay him off the court, $20-some million.
Starting point is 00:56:17 I mean, hey, bro, the type of money balmer got, come on, man, you ain't going to be able to keep over that. No. But here's the thing. If it was an isolated incident, you got to, you got, you got the Toronto Raptors reported that he wanted outside stuff. You got the Lakers reporting it. And now you have a situation where some details that starts to arise and says, okay, look, this company, that company. And there were some emails. I think Pablo Tori dug up some other, somebody sent him some emails or something.
Starting point is 00:56:49 Maybe there's a whistleblower or something going on. And this Daktronic, seemingly it was probably one of the worst kept secrets. in the league, I guess. Oh, man, listen. They had to do a deep dive to try to catch them on this one, boy. Hey, that's way above my pay grade, bro. Man, I don't see nothing. Man, I don't see what you all.
Starting point is 00:57:19 I don't see it. It's right there. Where? Hey, that's a good one. That's a prime example of what's going on right now. If I don't want to find nothing, I ain't going to find it. Hello. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:57:34 Because it's going to be a bad look, but all it does is going to give people because they're going to say we did. All we did was what the Clippers did. Yeah. And now, literally, you got guys that they, if they just go show up, they do an autograph signing.
Starting point is 00:57:49 They go up and take pictures. All you've done is open Pandora's box. Yeah. Yeah. It's just, look, go ahead. Go ahead, don't you know what the good thing is to? You know, the good thing is to, even if you set a president for other teams to be able to do it,
Starting point is 00:58:07 even if you have an open Pandora's box, is you have to understand there are only a handful of players like that that you have to do that with. Only a handful. We talked about Kuwait Linner. Yeah. You know, this is, this is, this is, this is the, this is privilege for the elite of the elite.
Starting point is 00:58:24 Yeah. How many elite of the elite are there in NBA? If I want to get shade a move. Only so. What would I do for Shay? Come on, man. What would I do for Yokech? Come on.
Starting point is 00:58:33 man. What would I do for Yonis? What would I do for Jason Tatum? What would I do for Jason Thompson? Hey, meaning if you're in a bidding war and you know he's, he's teeter tied and from team to team like, man, I want to go here to the Lakers, but I wouldn't mind coming to the clipper. Man, you got to do something to make me feel good, huh? Hey. You got to have, you got to have some kind of sense. Because the home team, you got to have some kind of sense. The home team, Ocho can give you that extra fifth year. might be for $70 million. You take it, you go.
Starting point is 00:59:07 The other team can only give you four years. So how am I going to make a, man, I really want to come, but how am I going to make up 70 million? Hmm. I like the way you think, man. Yeah. Babe, look, if somebody wants you bad enough,
Starting point is 00:59:30 they can find a way to get it done. Oh, yeah. And he got unlimited pockets. When you worked the kind of, $178 billion. I don't know how, but, I mean, think about it. Even one billion,
Starting point is 00:59:43 if I spend $1,000 a day, every day, I started spending it before Christ was born. I still couldn't spend it all in a lifetime. So imagine $178 billion. And what's $28 million to him? Nothing. They ain't now with your.
Starting point is 01:00:04 That's $17,000. Okay, that's $17,000. Okay, that's $17 to the average person. That's what $28 million is. That's crazy. Just thinking about it. Yeah, it is. To have that kind of money that, like, really,
Starting point is 01:00:24 there is nothing in this world that you could not buy. Nothing. And then you got Musk at $700 billion, $240 billion, $250 billion, $2.30, $200. Hey, how Obama make his money? How he make his money? He was the CEO. Oh, Microsoft.
Starting point is 01:00:46 Oh, was it? Yes. Yeah. I only know that because I'm told me. Yeah, if CEOs, because they take the shares. And when the shares exploded, you got to realize, like probably when he took over, Microsoft was probably worth a couple of hundred billion dollars. Now they are a one, two trillion dollar company.
Starting point is 01:01:05 Share is exploded. That's why you get in something at the ground floor. Imagine all those seed people that put that seed money in, $250,000 in a Uber. $250,000 in a door dash. Uber eats. Now you see what it's go. An apple.
Starting point is 01:01:25 That's why you see when you're in Silicon Valley, you're out there all these tech companies, all the Bitcoin. Stock doubles. It doubles. It doubles. It doubles. It doubles. I sit on it for 10, 15 years. My $250,000 is not worth $25 million.
Starting point is 01:01:54 But that's all right. I did coming, Ocho. Oh, I, listen, I tell you that all the time. The tongue is powerful. I always speak in existence. Matter of fact, I pray on the Air Blue Moon. I don't bother the man upstairs too much because he knows my heart already.
Starting point is 01:02:09 Yeah. Joe, let me talk to you. I don't bother him all the time because he's not my heart. He know my heart good because he ain't going to have no issue or no problem blessing all us because he knows we're going to do what we're supposed to do this. Huh? I ain't going, I ain't going, I ain't going flaunt, you know,
Starting point is 01:02:25 but there would there will be signs. Amen. Oh, Cho. Yeah. Hey, hey, hey, hey, there'll be signs. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:34 Yeah. Yeah. That's it. I ain't, I ain't going to say that. I mean, a little conspicuous consumption is okay. If conspicuous consumption, if you have it, flaunted. Mm. Mm.
Starting point is 01:02:45 Just a little bit. But I'm a generous. I'm going to, I'm going to give them. Now I'm going to make Shelton State good. Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Let me get some real, real money. The first thing I'm doing, I'm going to Savannah State.
Starting point is 01:02:59 I'm going to build a weight room. I'm going to spend about $10 million on a wait room. Damn. Hey. Listen. The Sheldon sharp workout. You know, hey, Joe, you know, you know, I'm taking my money. I'm going, I'll take it right down the street in Tallahassee.
Starting point is 01:03:16 Yeah. He's going to fail. What? Boy, we would never have another problem. Another problem, everything. Business, business, football program, basketball program. Oh yeah, NIL, yeah, we're gonna be the best. We might not get the guy that's good.
Starting point is 01:03:33 What? We're gonna get a couple of them guys that might be going to Michigan or Georgia or Ohio State. Oh, they got 200 for you. I got 350. Yeah. They're going with a bang. Come on down here.
Starting point is 01:03:45 Absolutely. Hey, and most of the money going right to the band. You know, you know, I am about that. I love the band, but yeah. But yeah. Hey, boy. Oh, Seattle State, sports. Hey.

Hey, hey, you're talking about that money that's stack. You ain't talking about that money that four, huh?
Starting point is 01:04:44 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, okay, okay, I know exactly what you're talking about. Hey, like that money that in the real, that they're taking, where you're stored it up. Oh yeah, okay, oh yeah, okay, about. I just, I feel like you come, we come across, they got a money. I'm sorry to say chat, but we got to knock Ojo off. We got nothing to me. I just, you know what I mean? Let me tell you something. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Listen, listen, listen. You got a point,
Starting point is 01:05:06 though. I ain't know, Joe, I ain't no bad. Yeah. You hear me? And you got to understand. If we come into that kind of money, I ain't going to say nothing, right? I ain't going to say nothing. I just want to be able, the man upstairs keep blessing me so I can continue being a blessing. Yeah. That's all. You know, Hey, Uncle Joe, you know, when I go to these restaurants and I lead them $1,000 tips everywhere I go, I leave, I make my presence felt in every city I go to, right? You know, if we get running to that kind of money, do you do realize every tip at every restaurant?
Starting point is 01:05:36 I'm going to add another email. So that thousand for the turning to 10, every time I step outside. You're going to have people losing their job, Ocho. Man, hey, Joe, I, man, boy, listen, man, the man upstairs, no, that he's working for me. I'm telling you. I got you.
