They pulled me to the side and was like, hey, man, we got a call last night, man. You can't be rolling around the city like this tonight before games.

Will Ferrell's Big Money Players and IHeart Podcasts presents Soccer moms. So I'm Leanne.

A redacted amount of years later, we're still joined at the hip, just a little bit bigger hips. This is a podcast. We're recording it as we tailgate our youth soccer games in the back of my Honda Odyssey.
Starting point is 00:02:33 With all the snacks and drinks. Why did you get hard seltzer instead of beer? Oh, they hit a bogo. Well, then you got them. Listen to soccer moms on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The 76. No, the 76 is beat the magic by the score of 109.97. Behind 31 points from Tyreeze Maxley, fairly advanced to the postseason,
Starting point is 00:02:56 despite a 34 point night from Desmond Bain. The Sixers will now face the number two seed Boston Celtics in the first round. The Magic will face the Charlotte Hornets on Friday with the winner earning the final playoff spot and taking on the Detroit Histons. Joe, Philly. Edgecombe, 19 points.
Starting point is 00:03:19 Tyreez Maxey, 31 points. Ubre Jr., 19 points. PG, 16 points. Andre Drummond gave you a. double double off the bench, 14 and 10. Hold on. Hold on, Joe and Unk.
Starting point is 00:03:32 Hold on. Joe, before you go, Unk. Go ahead. Balfa Bancarro a lot. He talked about how good he was. He was looking for it. And I'm just curious. Tonight he was 7 for 22.
Starting point is 00:03:43 This is a big game. This is a game where you got to have it. You're talking about Uncle? You're talking about Unk? You're talking about Unk. Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. I did.
Starting point is 00:03:50 I did. I'm talking about heavy. So I'm just curious. Joe. I like Paulo. But far too many times he doesn't play like the best player on the team. Desmond Bain does. This was the night Ben-Caro needed to be the all-star that he was two years ago.
Starting point is 00:04:13 Yeah, I agree. One of the most glaring things I see when I watch Ben-Carroll play, Uncan Ocho. He doesn't take advantage of his size, fellas. He's always on the perimeter. handling the ball. He's the ball handling the pick and roll. You know, he out there, he shoot a lot of jump shots. I feel like with that big body he got, he has to learn how to get to his spots, playing that mid-post, play right at there, their elbow to where guys can't really guard you. I just feel like he settled for a lot of tough shots, a lot of jump shots. And he was, I mean,
Starting point is 00:04:48 if you run the switch, you're the ball handling, and Ben Carroll is the ball handling. He run a pick and and you get Maxie on you, and you got Maxi outside of three. Hell, that's an advantage for Maxi. They ain't no damn advantage for Ben Carroll. No. I just thought he got a lot of great mismatches, but he was trying to go around. You too far out to take advantage of him.
Starting point is 00:05:08 Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Like, he wasn't in an area of the way he could be effective with just one dribble or no dribbles, you know, shooting over your man or one power dribble, getting close to the hoop, shooting you a little floater shot or a jump hook. And I feel like it hurt them, man. They settled for a lot of. bad shots. You know, I know Bage
Starting point is 00:05:26 kind of got it going, but when you're on the road, desperation, when to go home, that's why I picked Philly, bro. They got too many guys who can go off the bounce who can create, and I knew that they were going to be resilient tonight. Without Mb playing, I knew Maxis was
Starting point is 00:05:42 going to, you know, play a huge part. Man, you know who got some bounce? That got done edge him. Oh, he can lead a float. Hey, on a fast break, Uncle Ocho, he'll one man fast break, bro. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:55 Because once he, once he jump off that, that, that, that pan with that one leg, he might be going out of the way. That boy fin to finish that. Hey, he liked, that, uh, that basketball game
Starting point is 00:06:06 when you'd be dropping off the trampoline. Hey. Hey, what's the other dude? Hey, Joe, you know, what's the other dude that got bounced like, like him from, uh, from Portland? Oh, you're talking about Sheldon.
Starting point is 00:06:19 Damn sharp. Man. Shade. Shade. Shade. Shade. Shade. They,
Starting point is 00:06:24 me and Shannon Brown with Shannon Brown's with the Lakers, boy. Wow, that boy had bounce, too. I don't know what the hell that boy had in his shoes. That boy had batteries in his legs, I'm telling you. Hey, but Philly, I told you, man, Philly played different when they play a lot faster. I thought. But they ain't got nobody clogging the lane, Joe. They ain't got nobody down the block.
Starting point is 00:06:43 You got to get involved, though, Joe. Hold on, hold on. You seen drumming two for three from the three? Fourteen. Four team, boy team, rebound. I got you double-digit rebounds. I'm going to shoot me two of these things now. Hey, man.
Starting point is 00:07:01 Philly, Philly looks like a hardworking team. I don't know how far they can get, but this set them up for, to play Boston in the first round, right? Yeah, they got Boston. Ooh. That ain't really that bad, though. That's a good matchup.
Starting point is 00:07:16 I can see Philly getting a game or two. Yeah. It's going to be high-scoring. Yeah. I don't think I think it's going to be hard for them to kind of have somebody for Maxie
Starting point is 00:07:29 probably Derek White to start up for Maxie Yeah, but I Oh, you got Jalen Brown You know you got some defenders now Yeah, you got some defenders But see Maxi, he ain't one of them
Starting point is 00:07:41 He ain't one of them guards that You know, he's going to always be able to get by his man Yeah You know what I mean? Like he's going to get paint touches He just going to shoot the majority His paint touches He ain't really kicking out
Starting point is 00:07:52 to know three, they may have liked the scope. Yes. And you look at his numbers, he's increased your scoring for like the last seven years. Yeah. Every year he's gotten better. Even after last year we averaged 26, he averaged 28 this year.
Starting point is 00:08:06 Yeah, and I ain't even mad about the 25 shots he shot tonight because that's what it's going to take. But that's what you're your best player, he's got to be that. He's got to do that. It's going to take him to be aggressive, to put pressure on them guys, to force it at times.
Starting point is 00:08:20 You know what I mean? This is what we're going. You know what? It's kind of like for me, when I watch the Hornets play and LaMello kind of, you know, I know he took a lot of shots other than that. I'm cool with that. I need him to be aggressive because that's going to kind of fuel an engine.
Starting point is 00:08:34 You know what I mean? So I like Maxxie. And the thing is, Joe, look, like you said, we talked about, and this is what we talked about LeBron, because we saw him against the Mavericks, and he passed in the ball around. He ended up he had 30 and 15, but he could have, he had 45 and 15.
Starting point is 00:08:51 Yeah, yeah, because The next three games, he's ultra-aggressing. He's looking for his shot. Actually, as a matter of fact, he's hunting his shot. He ain't looking for it, he's hunting it. Yeah. Go ahead, Joe. And that's going to help.
Starting point is 00:09:07 You're talking about Brown right now, ain't you? Yes. That's going to help the Lakers because Brown, he's going to have to assert himself, meaning like he's going to need it, he's going to have it to where Houston got to send an extra defender to guard him. because that's the only way
Starting point is 00:09:23 the mother guy is going to really be able to come along to where you get ruined and knock down some shots. You get eating some easy buckets. You know what I mean? To where them guys started to play a little harder for you. Yeah. Yeah, I was, I was, I, but I've kind of been, look, maybe Ben Carroll's been banged up,
Starting point is 00:09:39 but I've kind of been disappointing in him because I think the thing is, Joe, you know, once you get a taste of going to an All-Star game, and don't show you and I experienced this going to the Pro Bowl. Because you look at around and you see it all those other great players there, You're like, I belong. I'm here. Make you work harder.
Starting point is 00:09:56 I'm here. Hey, and just to let y'all know, this wasn't a one-time thing, I'll be back next year. There you go. And the year after. And the year after, if you were tied to the L.C., y'all going for the second spot. First would occupy. Hey, look.
Starting point is 00:10:10 Hey, they're able to. Yeah. I think Ben Carroll definitely dealt with some injuries, but I'm like you. The jump that I was looking for him to make this year, he never made it, bro. He never made it. And I feel like with his size, I'm telling you, man.
Starting point is 00:10:27 Like, I don't mind him playing point powerful from time to time. But man, when it's time to give money, Uncle Ocho down the stretch, under five, six minutes, I need you to have a spot that you go to and we can either get a bucket, a file, or a great shot. Too many times he was turning that ball over the night when he was getting into it. Yeah, he got the ball late in the shot. 38 feet. Bro, I don't want you to take that shot.
Starting point is 00:10:53 I don't either. They got him pinning in the corner. I don't want you to take that shot, bro. Hey, you know what they need? The Orlando manager, they need a guy like A-Cuffer for real. They need a scoring guard. They need a guard because Suggs, you know, he played hard defensively, but he ain't no score like that.
Starting point is 00:11:13 You know what I mean? He ain't put a pressure on him like that. So I feel like he'll be a great guy coming off the bench, but if you can get a young guard like A-cuff to where, you know, you got a point guard who putting pressure. Yeah, I need, but I need, yeah, you're right. So, I need more. In 37 minutes, I need more than four points.
Starting point is 00:11:31 Man of nine from the field, one or six from the three, from the three. No, I can, what I'm going to do with that? I'm going to do with that. Oh, yeah, because for Desmond Bain. They did. For the first round for Desmond Bain. Danvin Bain came to play, though. Hey, he be...
Starting point is 00:11:51 What? Desmond Bain came to play today. He wasn't... Yeah, but I'm saying. Because Orlando gave up those picks to get Desmond Bain, Memphis get that draft pick. Oh, okay, okay. And they're going to get a bunch more.
Starting point is 00:12:04 Because they gave up four first riders for him. And Utah gave up three for Triple J. Hey, hey, Joe. What's adding to? What Bain played? The three of the two. like a two, but he built like a middle linebacker out there. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:27 Hey, hey, boy, him and Dylan Brooks, they're about the same, boy, they'd be pissing people off. And they were on the same, hey, they were on the same team. Same team. In Memphis, you know, when they were making them playoff runs and they got rid of both of them boys. They ain't been nothing there since. Nope. You get rid of muscle? That was, that was, you know, because if you think about it, when they had Zebo.
Starting point is 00:12:48 Hey. When they had Tony Allen. Yeah. You know, when they, when they, when they, when they, when they, when they were, you know, hey, they grew up around. Yeah. That's what that's what they were about. Yeah. You lost your lifeblood.
Starting point is 00:13:01 Yeah. You lose that grittiness, that toughness. That's, that edge, bro. It's hard to win, man. Hey, look, you look at Golden State tonight. You look at Golden State tonight and look at Draymond, bro. Yeah. He was the reason.
Starting point is 00:13:15 I know Steph made shots, Pondham made shots, but Draymond was the reason they won that game. sitting just his defense alone in that just being nasty, just being gritty. Like, you need that, bro. Big time steals. Yeah. Ain't snubbed. Dave and Bay, man, and he'd be making big shot.
Starting point is 00:13:37 Joe, I mean, the Lakers winning the whole game. And all of a sudden, they got broke down. And the day, Bain hit that three from the top. Hey, he didn't scared. He wasn't scared of the moment. Okay, O-Chair. He got, he had. Hey, he cashed with them short arms, boy
Starting point is 00:13:53 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He cashed, but you see how he ain't scared to compete, though? Like, that's exactly what I'm saying. Like, you got guys who compete at a high level, bro, no matter where they're at, where they're at home, those guys can help elevate your team, bro. Hey, when them lights bright, I'm showing up. How many points could I have in the fourth quarter?
Starting point is 00:14:20 None. Huh? I don't think he scored in the fourth quarter. Wow. Oh, that's part of his grade, huh? I don't know. Y'all gave this. Y'all, hey, you passed him.
Starting point is 00:14:32 Man went on to, hey, man went on, went on to the next grade. He had two. Oh, did it? They got it to the next grade. They got it to, oh, Joe got it to the next grade. Hey, so you want to, you want to repeat the grade, huh? Hey, he had the same number of turnover as he had points. he had 14
Starting point is 00:14:51 Now think about it, Joe He had 14 points In the first half I'm telling I look He played he played 40 minutes now I know a guy 41
Starting point is 00:15:06 41 you played 40 something minutes Did he Joe At 40 and 1 Yeah Hey He's going to play 40 something this weekend But I was over here
Starting point is 00:15:17 In my black business Yeah Yeah That man gay Kauai F for his His 10 year A Joe A F
Starting point is 00:15:27 Chad What's a chap Let's be real chat. What y'all get Kauai? His tenure in the clippers. What grade y'all giving it? Be real now. They ain't given no hell, bro.
Starting point is 00:15:42 Ain't nobody going to agree with no F in the chat. Nobody. Even if they get a D and not passing, ain't no way he should get a passing grade. A D might, a D is passing. No hell that ain't. Who you? What? Joe?
Starting point is 00:15:59 You see, you see the grades in the chat, right? I see Fs, I see Bs, D. I see all C's. I see, I see somebody got four F minus. Like that. I see C's D's and L. I ain't going to lie to you. You ain't see that one, I see one B, D minus, D minus, F minus.
Starting point is 00:16:26 The C, the C, it's more C's than any. anything. Nah, hell it ain't. It is. It's a couple, it's a couple Fs and a few Ds. Somebody got like 15 Fs. Hey, boy, y'all are a tough crowd, boy. Hey, yeah, I get it. The NBA is finding lamello ball
Starting point is 00:16:50 35,000 for his trip on Bam by the Bible. Upgrading its action to a flagrant two instead of a flagrant. They didn't give him anything. Plus, he was fined 25,000 for cursing post game. 60,000 and fines. flagrant but no suspension. I'm not surprised they did suspend him.
Starting point is 00:17:07 But had they gave a flagrant two, what would they have done, Joe? They would have kicked him out of the game. Yeah, it would kick them out of the game. So that tells you, they knew his actions were egregious. Because why would you give a flagrant two after the fact, Joe? Yeah. They probably went back and they probably went back and looked at the tape. That's my point.
Starting point is 00:17:28 Hey, Joe, you didn't even have to look at the tape. Joe, you saw what happened. they have replay right there but they didn't review it no cho I'm saying what I'm saying is y'all think it was malicious intent for him to hurt him or y'all think you know he
Starting point is 00:17:41 but but intent only intent only matters to you the bam whether he intended or not is bam still hurt yeah I had a law professor a criminal justice professor he said shed you know the difference between murder
Starting point is 00:17:57 and manslaughter I'm like I'm a first I was like, no. He says intent. He said, but the victim is just as dead. Whether you intended to kill him or not. Whether lamello ball meant to do it or not,
Starting point is 00:18:14 is Bam still just as hurt, Joe? Yeah. So intent only matters to Lamello because the act still called the injury, whether he intended to do it or not. But here's the thing. They showed a clip today that's not the first time Lamello has grabbed somebody's ankle. Did you hear you?
Starting point is 00:18:33 what the Melo said in his press, he said, I may have hit my head on. That bad head ain't a couple. What do he say? What he say, Joe? They asked him about to play. He said, I may have hit my head on the floor. I don't really remember.
Starting point is 00:18:47 That man clearly reached up. Hold on. Who was that? Somebody, you know who it was? You remember when the Patriots played Carolina Ocho and Matt Jones twist Brian Burns ankle
Starting point is 00:19:07 and he said he was he was saying I was just trying to keep him getting the ball and he was rolling him like a gator you know how a gator getting somebody starts death roll that that man was rolling under that man ankle amen where he was worried about bam
Starting point is 00:19:23 talking about well that little trip guys if you off balance it doesn't take much to trip you up Yeah. What little thing you do? I love how non-athletting people that never really played anything could talk about, oh, that ain't hurt.
Starting point is 00:19:39 Yeah, okay. I don't know if you ever fall on a basketball court, but it does hurt. Hey, hold on. Fall on that bone. Yeah. That's why a lot of guys wear pads. They got thigh pads, they got butt pads.
Starting point is 00:19:50 Yeah, yeah. A lot of them were pads, like paddy suits. Like, they have thigh pads. They'll have hip pads. They have a butt pads. Yeah. Because they're falling. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:03 And then you've got to learn how to fall. Okay. But if somebody tripped me accidentally and I'm not expecting it, that's the expectation. It's like a hit, Joe. Ocho knows if I see you coming, I can brace. I can absorb it. But if I don't know you coming, you hit me, I'm relaxed.
Starting point is 00:20:25 Oh, please. Knock your clock on. He already, he already on one foot. You know, one foot is already in the air. Yes. Mello grabbed the other one. I mean, the body's going straight to the ground no matter what. And then you can't break your fault because you're not expecting it.
Starting point is 00:20:42 Yeah. And that was the thing. I think the NBA is like, we can't suspend it. We can't suspend it. But I think the thing is they probably asked the fishers, why didn't you? But the thing is, I don't think Bam, Bam, teammates didn't make a big deal out of it. I think if they had made a big deal out of it and say, man, y'all need to replay that. up the man on purpose.
Starting point is 00:21:02 Y'all have been pointing at it. Pointing up at the board. Look at this. That's a ticket. Look at that. Yeah, they won't. I'm ratting. I'm diving.
Starting point is 00:21:10 I'm snitching. Yeah, they weren't going to kick Lamello out their game, though. Nah. No. Hey, hey, hey, they look. What did they find him, 30K? 60. 60K.
Starting point is 00:21:25 Oh, yeah. 35 and 25. A, Puma. What they find the 25 for cursing post game? Hey, hey, if I'm La Mello. Hey, Puma, y'all going to take care of that because we get money over here with Puma. Yeah, Puma going to take care of that a little fine for me, man.
Starting point is 00:21:37 We run a commercial or something about it or something. You know, what here? Think about it. What you say, Ocho? Y'all boys on the airplane playing $150,000 hands. What's that $60,000 going to do? That ain't, that ain't.
Starting point is 00:21:54 I don't know if he played like that. That ain't, they ain't hurt nobody pockets, especially anybody on the NBA level. I know. Now, them dudes I were playing with, they were reckless, Ocho. I wasn't, you know, I wasn't in on them games. I just used to watch. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:08 Yeah, yeah. The problem that you're going to run into, now the NBA ain't going to be paying attention. Oh, he ain't going to do them. He fought himself running into a situation like Dremont. You remember that Dremont used to do the high leg kick? I'm John Green. You may know me as the author of The Fultonar Stars,

Mommy, do you play basketball? Check out Game Recognized game with Stuy and Miles on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Uh, Joe. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:29 I think this play. Now, if this was a different player, if this was Draymond or if this was Dylan Brooks or somebody, they might have been calling right off the rip. I ain't going to lie to you. Oh, look. I think they kicked Dylan Brooks out of the game in the playoffs against LeBron.
Starting point is 00:26:47 Didn't they kick Brooks out of the game? He may have. I think he did. I don't know if he punched LeBron, but he might have punched somebody. Yeah, but we talk about it. them repeated offenders. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:01 They consistently get into. But they got two instances in which, in which what you call him, has grabbed someone's ankle. Yeah. Two. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:12 And that's why we lost, man. Shoot, man. Oh, man. Hey, Joe, send me that 200 back. No, I can't do that. What? What?
Starting point is 00:27:23 That's an Indian gil ball. What do they do that? Hey, hey, Joe, he tried to change you. That white way it sent it to you. Look, I already know. You know the man got bad juju over that, man. Hold on. Hey, when the Knicks and the Hawks play, man?
Starting point is 00:27:38 Yeah. They probably play Sunday or Monday. Who? The Hawks and Knicks. When the Hawks and Knicks play? They might play Sunday, Joe. Okay. Hey, Joe, you remember Dylan Brooks when he yanked down Gary Payton Jr.
Starting point is 00:27:57 and he dislocated his elbow. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. They suspended for that, and then he came back the following year and hit Brian with a low blow, a low blow. Yeah, yeah. And they got him for that. Yeah, yeah. Ocho, they play Saturday at 6 o'clock right before the Lakers in the Rockets.
Starting point is 00:28:14 Let's double a. Let's double in nothing. What, what, 200 on the first game? Yeah. Where you at? You already 300 in the hole, ain't. I said you 200 already. No. You're another 100 for that.
Starting point is 00:28:27 night. That one's there. We ain't even bet on the night. We didn't even bet on no game. I had Philly. I picked Philly. I ain't pick Orlando. They garbage. Oh, so we're 200. We're 200 in the hole. You're 200 in a hole. Okay, yeah, we're better. We're better back on Saturday. Double it up. Double it up. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:49 Levar Ball calls I spoke for making comments on LaMello's play on BAMP's Posture. Don't be making all these excuses talking about you don't want to make an excuse, then why are you making one? If someone is falling on top of me, you best believe I'm going to put my hands up. That's just how the balls are taught. We do some dangerous stuff. Get out of the way.
Starting point is 00:29:11 We ain't getting stepped on. That man wasn't about to follow him now. That man was going to... Hey, lamello laying here. The man falling back that way. You reach back and ground a bad ankle. Hey, hey, just... Man, Lebar.
Starting point is 00:29:26 Hey, just what a father should do. You know, hey, right or wrong. Hey, look, I got your back, homie. Don't worry about it. Hey, I said, hey, son, look here now. You got to be careful now. We ain't out there trying to injure nobody. Hey, hey, if my son's about to get stepped on,
Starting point is 00:29:42 you best believe it. I told him. Because what I tell him at home and what I say in front of the cameras are entirely two different things. There you go. There you go. I'll just be real.
Starting point is 00:29:54 Hey. Yeah. I just be in the dead. And y'all know how a little bar ride for his three. Oh, yeah. Hey, look, because in the fact that he's been kind of quiet over the past few years, though, Uncle. Yeah, yeah, yeah, he let him play.
Starting point is 00:30:07 Yeah. But he's always said Mello was going to be the best of all three of his boys. He's always said that. He said they ain't close to Mello. Yeah. He's always said that from day one. I mean, from the very first time, when he first came on the show, Lonzo was in college.
Starting point is 00:30:28 Yeah. And he was talking about, yeah, he said that baby boy is going to be better than all of them. Got that it factor. Yep. He got it. Melo scored like 90 points in the game. Hey, look. That's why I'm not watching the game the other night.
Starting point is 00:30:47 I said, hell, Lemelo, he thinks he's still at Chino Hills or something. Yeah. And the way he's shooting ball. Hey. He broke, he broke Lago's record. Man. Hey, he's nice, though. He's nice.
Starting point is 00:30:59 mellow you know mellow play like mellow play like god damn Jason Williams a little bit he got a little flash in his game a little flash a little flare yeah yeah stuff you ain't got no business doing an NBA game yeah hey look you take a coach
Starting point is 00:31:15 you gotta have a coach who let you rock out like that too now you can't hey look you know them them old school tough coaches they ain't they ain't going for all that man man you ain't ain't finish you with all them shots like that man you ain't gonna be on the bitch And them old school coach They didn't let you celebrate that in football either
Starting point is 00:31:32 They don't Boy, they grab you by your face mask And yank your damn head off Yemond Shumpin says LeBron is going to send a messaging game one Versus the Rockets He's going to have to do Andy From Toy Story
Starting point is 00:31:48 Put Andy under everybody's foot And play with your toys People underestimate his willingness To bring out the best in his teammates I understand he's 41 But he's healthy And he's dangerous Joe, what you're thinking?
Starting point is 00:32:01 I agree. Look, typically, I think if Luca and A.R. was playing, I feel like he would kind of come out a little passer. Yes. But the fact that he ain't got them to, he knows he can't get too far behind that eight ball if he wanted to try to win this series. So them first two games at home, especially the game one, you got to try to come out and set the tone.
Starting point is 00:32:26 I don't care if you forced the issue. I need brunch to shoot that thing, 25 times at bare minimum. Unless he hot as fish grease and he goes 16 for 22 or something like that. But I need him to be getting them FGA's up.
Starting point is 00:32:41 I agree. Yeah. I agree. All right. It's time for our final segment of the evening. It's time for Q. And eight. Before we get to the super chat, we've got five video voicemail
Starting point is 00:33:04 from our Discord. Let's take a listen to here. The first one. Yo, what up? Nightcat family coming live from the work scene. What's going on? Freaky Unk. Ocho, King Iso. I got a question for y'all boys. One is for ISO, other one is for all three y'all. The first question is, are we going to see you back in a big three this year? Second question is, what is one thing that a woman has told y'all that really made y'all really sit back and think about it like, dang, like, like, like, damn. like you really hit deep. Appreciate y'all boys. Congrats on two mill. Let's get the three. That's the plan, bro. I'm revving it up.
Starting point is 00:33:49 I'm running. I'm cutting. I'm feeling good. So, you know, that ain't until like the end of June. I think like the first game, Uncle Ocho, was like June 20th. So I'm still gauging it. But yeah, my plan is to play, bro. I train daily as if I'm going to play.
Starting point is 00:34:08 So I'm looking. looking forward to it, yeah. Oh, Joe, what's, what, what, what's, what's, what's, what's, what's, what's, what's, what's, what's, what's, what's, yeah. Hey, that's a, that's a good man right there boy. I got, I got to jog my memory and go on my memory bank, you know, thinking of some things that, that wouldn't have said that made me say damn.
Starting point is 00:34:33 Ooh, yeah. I mean, I don't think I got, it, the, the, the best thing for me, it, it ain't equivalent to what he's saying based on that scenario. Yeah. the worst thing that made me say damn is a chick, you know, instead of letting me know she didn't want to talk to them no more, you know, because
Starting point is 00:34:51 you found somebody else, so she was interested in somebody else. I mean, left me a goddamn voicemail. Who the hell leaves voicemails, you know, and then he gave a voicemail talking, Joe. She played a song. Yeah. She played a song. Yeah. Then let you know that she would love.
Starting point is 00:35:07 Let me know she wants to see somebody. Jasmine Sullivan, in love with another man. What? Yeah, Joe. She left about three minutes of the play. I'm like, you know, and I'm calling like. She wanted you to catch a hint. Yeah, that was that was the hint.
Starting point is 00:35:21 I was like, all right, cool. Bet. Oh, timeout. Hey, Unk. And then got the third to hit me late on like two years later. Like you didn't forget. Man, like, I mean, I'm sorry. My bad, my bad, my bad.
Starting point is 00:35:34 I'm like, come on, man. Stop playing with me, man. Man, stop playing me. Reaching out. What did you got over there? Huh? I'm trying to think. Like he's brewing.
Starting point is 00:35:45 He got something in line. Yeah, man. I mean, that up, man. You know, you know, they, man, look here. They should have told me this before I had got bad. They should have a, you know,
Starting point is 00:36:04 they say lead with this. No, no. Because if you wait, if you wait too long, hey, I'm far gone. I don't know. I don't know what to tell you. Man, this is.
Starting point is 00:36:17 It's like, who, I'm trying to think, man. I can't, I ain't got none to top of my head, man. Yeah, that was, that was a tough one. I mean, it is. With that scenario, just having that, that aspect of, like, damn, like, that's the only thing I could think of because that was, that was a damn moment. Like, in a sense, I'm thinking to myself, like, well, damn, you could have just hit my line and be like, man, listen, this, this ain't, you know, whatever you want to do.
Starting point is 00:36:49 You know, I want to see somebody else. Yeah, I'm cool with that. I'm cool with that. I'm cool with that, because you got a thing. man, we got options. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, that's what I'm thinking about. Like, you're not, what we doing?
Starting point is 00:37:02 Like, if you was, like, if I, like, struggled to get you, I mean, if I got you, I can get 20 more like you. There's no pressure. I mean, what's a face card like? Would the face card decline? Who? She had, she had,
Starting point is 00:37:21 the one you talked, the one that left you the voicemail. Oh, hey, hey, hey, she would like that, boy. Yeah. She was a 10. She was the 10. But you got to understand. I know about you. Now, you keep one.
Starting point is 00:37:33 Hey, I keep one on me, don't me? Wait, Joe. The thing about it, Joe and Unp, it's like if you lose one 10, it's a hundred more right behind it. Oh, Joe. Talk to me. Was she light, bright, damn little white?
Starting point is 00:37:46 How old was she? That's the only way he like him. He cloned. No, that's a lie. He cloned him. Timeout, time out, time out, time out. You can't do that. Look at all my kids.
Starting point is 00:37:57 I know what you used to like. I'm talking about what in the last, let's just say the for the last 15 years. It's only been two people like that. Only two people like that. Everybody else. Like Blackberry, baby. Only two people.
Starting point is 00:38:13 I'm telling you. So what is Cambodia? Like caramel. What was the one before Cambodia? Like whipped cream? And the one before that one. Oh, black is here. Oh, oh, oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:38:31 Dog, dog, dog. Hey, Joe, I'm like, hey, listen, one thing about it, Joe, when it's color of me, boy, I'm like Skittles, boy. When I get a bag of Skittles, Joe, I don't pick them out one by one. I eat all of them, Joe. Yeah, yeah. I don't care what color he is. Literally, Joe, literally.
Starting point is 00:38:46 I mean, sometimes we talk figurative speech. He's talking literally. Eat every one of them. Don't need nothing on the plate. Hey, that boy, don't play no games, do it. Hey, I got, this is, I have, I have an eclectic taste. Yeah. You be tasting something.
Starting point is 00:39:06 I know. I can't have ages. Oh, boy, he's just foul, man. He's just foul. Hey, hey, hey, it's not as bad as you think it is, huh? What? Me. It's worse.
Starting point is 00:39:23 No, no, no, no, no, no. It's not, no, no. I could, Joe. when somebody says something, it's always worse. Because if you notice, you watch the first 48. When somebody tells their story, what did they do? They limit their involvement in said act. There you go.
Starting point is 00:39:41 He's telling us this. Well, you know that thing worse. Hold on. No, actually, you have to think about it, right? Anytime I share something, and I'm one of the few people that can actually get away with sharing everything because I do everything publicly anyway. So I have no shame in sharing the life I live. It's okay.
Starting point is 00:40:00 It's always been me, Joe. I always been to look crazy, Joe. So anything I say, it's like, you know what? Ain't nobody tripping because he's always been this way. It's Ocho. It's what we expect. Yeah, well, baby, hey. I ain't seen, you know, since I know you, you know,

I'll put a little buggerty in there. I'll put a little buggerty in the bar. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because you know how I get, this I get it, Joe.

But when it was time to go home and be with the family, it was time to go home to be with the family. But I tell you what, when he saw back there in that cover, too, you wasn't going down the middle. You wouldn't go down that middle.

Starting point is 00:52:38 Hi, boys. This is London calling. Gajda Kittman here with a question for all three of you. Just about getting ready to start work at 6 o'clock in the morning here in London. And my Phoenix son's losing choking, bottling. against the Port and Trailblazers. theoretically speaking, if you were the owner
Starting point is 00:53:04 or the general manager of the Phoenix Suns, what would you take in a trade for Devin Booker? The unthinkable. What would you take in a trade for Devin Booker? Love the show, guys. Appreciate you all. Big shout out to big shout out to Ashley
Starting point is 00:53:27 doing her business in the background now. Great stuff, guys. Take care of hopefully seeing you in London soon. All the best. Nothing. I'm that trade book. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:41 Yeah, if you feel it's all they got. That's it. I'm not a trade book. Because when everybody else has left and gotten out of their books that I'll stay. I ain't great. Unless he comes to me and says, I want to be out.
Starting point is 00:53:58 I'm unhappy. But I don't think he wants to go anywhere. I think he's happy. And I think he wants them to see what they can do to get people around him. I met the owner. Yeah, Matt Ishpa. I met him when they had the WNBA All-Star game out there. He was at the hotel that I was at.
Starting point is 00:54:19 Actually sat down and had a conversation with him. But I don't see I me personally I don't see a scenario where they trade book I think I think they're more apt to build a round book as opposed to trade book and start over again. I think it'll be yeah because trade book will kind of I don't think it'd be a great look I mean you're looking at a we're talking about a guy over the past five six seven years Uncle Ocho who's average 25 plus yeah you know a night so you know, scoring is a premium in the NBA.
Starting point is 00:54:56 You know, you don't just find guys who can put up 25 a night, bro. You know what I mean? So to kind of get off him, I think that would have set the sons back, actually, because you ain't going to get, I don't know if you can get nothing that's going to be comparable to the production that he's given. Right. Now, I think if Devin Booker, if he went to the right situation, like if he did, because I heard the rumors of him,
Starting point is 00:55:21 possibly going to Detroit Pistons, playing with Cade. Oh, yeah. Boy, that'll put them over the top. So you go, you go, you go, uh, uh, you so what do you do, what do you, uh, Thompson? You move him to the three? Well, if you trade Devon, you probably have to give him up.
Starting point is 00:55:42 Yeah, if I, if I'm Phoenix, if I'm giving up Devon book, I need a young phenone to come back. Yeah, you're going to probably have to give him up. Yep. Huh? Yeah, I ask you like, how did he become a Suns fan in England? I don't know. I guess the Sun was set.
Starting point is 00:55:57 I have no idea. Danny J.R. Danny Jr., Draymond versus Dylan Brooks would be a battle. It's going to be a good one. Yeah. It's going to be a good one. Y'all already know. The killer part is you know they're going to talk to each other.
Starting point is 00:56:19 That's a given. For sure. Now, I don't know if it's going to be. going to get physical to where when they guard each other, they get to, you know, pushing and shoving, but I think it's going to be some, it's going to be some slick stuff going on that you're going to have to pay attention to now.
Starting point is 00:56:31 You know they're going to go at it, Joe. Yeah. Somebody got to set the tone. They're not setting the tone for themselves. They set the tone for their team. Yeah. This is the type of game it's going to be. Somebody will assert themselves early and let people know, this is the type of game it's going to be like this all day.
Starting point is 00:56:47 Yeah. It's going to be much watch now. his erinus only unc finds a way to bring up lebron in the warrior's clipper segment nope Ocho did Ocho asked what grade would I give LeBron yeah so I was like are we talking about this year as a third option or are we going to talk about his entire tenure as a laker I mean you got to give him A because guess what you didn't give up nothing to get him he can't be a freshman
Starting point is 00:57:17 You didn't even have to recruit him. You can't move the goalposts and say because you didn't give up anything for him. We just talk about the tenure in itself alone. He won a championship. He's saying he won a championship, so he's over. If I'm not mistaken, most of the the high level basketball heads
Starting point is 00:57:35 are giving that bubble. They're given an asterisk. I don't get no answer. Are you giving Tom Brady's asterisk? Who? Tom Brady, because he won it in COVID. We're talking basketball. I'm just saying.
Starting point is 00:57:47 So we put an asterisk on COVID championships. The Dodgers. Are you giving them an asterisk for the Dodgers? No, because they came back and did it again in front of people. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. They came back and that. So that one don't count. That one doesn't count, though.
Starting point is 00:58:03 Tamper didn't come back and do it. Listen, I didn't say it. Those that played the game said. I'm just saying that's what they said. No, those that didn't win it said it. Okay, okay. Because from what I hear, just imagine, people couldn't stay in their own homes
Starting point is 00:58:18 you couldn't do anything so you had to be locked down there for 90 days imagine I couldn't leave your house for 90 days he'd go crazy your mind that man go crazy he can't do that you can't go out and smoke your cigars you can't go to uh uh what's the place what's the place that you go to
Starting point is 00:58:36 would a ballet dance a beer you had a cigar but what's the uh heights what's the name of it where you go order when you go order your your lapper your car your mocha or your latte or whatever it is. Oh, the officinado. Just think you couldn't leave for 90 days.
Starting point is 00:58:52 You couldn't go out of your house. All you think you can do is go on your front porch. That's what I did, huh? That's what we all did. No, you did. Boy, the South was not closed down. Boy, Miami was closed down. It was nothing was open.
Starting point is 00:59:05 Man, look here. Atlanta wouldn't. And nowhere in the South. Well, that thing was jumping. Hold on. Hold on. Wait a minute. What was the governor?
Starting point is 00:59:15 DeSantis. That man had everything open. He ain't closed down nothing. Hold on. I must be tripping. You must be tripping. Because my favorite Cuban spot was closed for three months. DeSantis didn't close down anything.
Starting point is 00:59:30 He might have closed it down for a week. L.A. was the only place that shut down, shut down. When I say shut down, shut down, they shut it all the way down. I'm talking about nothing. You're not going up in there. You're not doing... They shut it out. Maestro's doing takeout.
Starting point is 00:59:51 That's how they shut it down. When you ever know Manstros do takeout? State 48 do takeout. Man, Florida. Man, you end up, look here. Those other states, because they were going to, they defying it.
Starting point is 01:00:11 They're not going to do... My hard head jokers. I didn't know. I went home. I bet I ended up going home. I'm like, well, damn. Are we sure in the pandemic in Georgia? It ain't clubbing.
Starting point is 01:00:28 Yes. Hey, hey. Having a good time. Yes. People still going to the restaurant. Yeah. Hey, I don't know. Hey.
Starting point is 01:00:42 OJ underscore Thanos, what's up? Ocho King. Iso. Did you see Paulo Ban Carroll make a next leap to lead the magic past the first round in the near future? Well, in order for them, he's going to have to, No. He's the first pick of the draft.
Starting point is 01:00:56 He's already been an all-star. That's the, that's the, that's the evolution. No, I- Team out of the first round. I think Paulo is a great talent, Uncle Ocho. Absolutely. But I think you, I think he needs,
Starting point is 01:01:09 he need another piece with him, man. I'm, I'm being honest. Like, from what I've seen tonight, they need a, they need a point guard, bro, who can, who can do his thing, who can get to his spots, who can score that ball. I'm telling you, that's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 01:01:25 That's the most glaring part because I was thinking like, man, if Suss could make any of these shots or put some pressure back on Maxi, they might have a chance of winning this game because Pollo kept turning the ball over when he was trying to get into his bag. Yeah, I just felt he was too far away from the basket. Desmond Bain and Apollo had 11 of their 14 turnovers.
Starting point is 01:01:48 Wagner was in and out of the lineup. He had an injury this year. He can play. based on what we saw from here two years ago Joe. Yeah, they heard him. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, but six turnover from Paulo, that ain't going.
Starting point is 01:02:04 And five from Bain. You got to help somebody to make the job easier. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Please be free. Have you ever played 85 in an NFL game? Tell my Ocho? Ocho, yeah. We beat the brace off Ocho now.
Starting point is 01:02:21 I gave you that work. We ain't worried about that. You ever play Ocho? Ocho gave a good work. Ojo gave a place that work. Hey, Joe, you hear me? Joe, there had never been a game. There has never been a game where I played against a friend of mine
Starting point is 01:02:35 where I didn't give them that work. Now, we might have lost. Ocho called a touchdown. They was getting shut out. They ended up losing 27 to 7. Hey, wait, wait, 27 to seven, who school? Who school, huh? You did.
Starting point is 01:02:49 You absolutely right. It don't matter when it happened, I did. I had flip-flops on the sideline. So I don't know what was going on the air by that time. Hey, hey, Joe, ask him how they had to cover me all game. How many people they had on me? How many they had on you? They had somebody over the top, too, Ojo.
Starting point is 01:03:06 And Joe, listen here. I think Kittner was the quarterback. Yeah, he was. He was. Hey, Joe, they ain't had no choice. You better cover me like an umbrella. Because if you don't, you know what's going to happen. It's going to be six.
Starting point is 01:03:18 Man, child, please. You better strike up the motherfucker's getting. Hey, Joe, he gets a little cheap, he gets a little cheap touchdown with like two minutes left in the game. Just to make it look to look good. Normally, we get taken out. It's two minutes left. It's 27 nothing.
Starting point is 01:03:36 What you end up for getting empty calories? Right. You got ice on your knees over there. Yeah, I had an, and a 84A. All I saw was this, 84, which means I'm down. out of out Hey, Hey,
Starting point is 01:03:53 Joe, we was bad We was bad then This before we drafted Carson too, Joe No, Carson was there Oh he had to sit out of year Yeah, he had to sit out of year. Yeah, he, yeah, Ketna started though
Starting point is 01:04:03 Yeah Oh, so that I mean that was only my... You know, because remember Carson was on the bitch that year. Yeah, that was only my second year, Joe, that don't count. Uh, Jay, uh, does it,
Starting point is 01:04:15 Big Dre, Dre, I guess he talked about Dremont. Dreemont played a hell of a game tonight. Preston underscore Prosper. Clippers gag because they have, they have PG. Because they had what? Yeah, there no more.
Starting point is 01:04:31 Well, maybe they did gag because they had PG. You know, PG say he was dealing with stuff. You know, he was going through some things in the bubble. That was really the first time that we had ever heard him talk about the mental health. And he's talked about it again. That's what caused the slip up with he ended up missing. missing some games this year because of a substance that he took. He said he was dealing with some stuff like that.
Starting point is 01:04:55 He wasn't healthy as he wanted to be. He wasn't able to do some of the things that he wanted to do or needed to do. But I don't know what it was. They get the job done. Hey, that's what they had. They had Lou Will. They had Treads. They had Pat Bell.
Starting point is 01:05:13 They had PG. They had some dogs. They had some dogs. They had some dogs. Yeah. They were loaded. Lee Mason Ocho, when you score on ISO
Starting point is 01:05:24 Lay an elbow on him for good measure Like Metal World Peace did Hard and Little Rock Not going to like that Hey listen Hey, you ain't never seen me Ack of fool. No, you don't see me at a fool But you ain't never seen me act a fool fool
Starting point is 01:05:40 When I score a point on that boy there You hear me? I might walk out of the gym That way ain't gonna let you score. Hey, hey, Joe, you might, Joe, you would never hear the end of it. Do you hear me? Hey, look, look, look.
Starting point is 01:05:55 Hey, we'd be like Martin and God damn Eddie Murphy in life. Hey, listen. I still reminded that time I took you to the hole. Hey, listen, because once I get the ball, Joe, you ain't going to even see it no more. I'm just going to keep it 100 with you. Joe. Well, you see that spread, Joe?
Starting point is 01:06:10 That ain't good. It ain't good enough, partner. Hand down, man down. In your face. Hey, Joe. You're going to walk him down, Joe. Man, I ain't going to even post a. them up because they ain't going to be no fun i'm going to shoot these jumpers in his face

Starting point is 01:21:21 I bring in my own just in case. Dang. But I thought the playing games were not good if you let other people tell it. Now listen, these past two nights, these four playing games we don't watch. Phenomenal. Man, they've been great.
Starting point is 01:21:38 But I ain't going to call no name, but I know a guy that's better in the playing games than he won and everybody's talking about how bad they are. And if he was as good as they say he is, he wouldn't have been to play in. And I see guys not losing the playing and everybody's talking about it don't mean of a thing.
Starting point is 01:21:54 But I'm not hearing no, I don't even know why I brought that up, guys. I'm sorry. T.S. Carwatch detail service. My grandpa told me, out of mind is the devil's workshop. It is. Item mine. Yep.
Starting point is 01:22:08 Oh, you got to keep yourself active. You do something. No matter how small, no matter how big. Keep it moving. I'm still debating on where I'm going on my vacation. Hey, we'll be going on.
Starting point is 01:22:25 Far away from you. I got my passport, though. No. You bring attention. So I'm going somewhere. Ain't nobody going to know. Okay. Hey, all right.

Starting point is 01:22:50 Hey, it sounds like, I'm going to have a hostage with him or something. Oh. Yeah, man. Yeah Just hope she ain't got no air tag on them Hey I'll leave it on the next plane
Starting point is 01:23:11 I don't know when I'll be back again Kiss me and say you'll never go away Yeah Sir underscore Kate My guys owe you real quick Two things that certain Death taxes but 85 is still open Nah he can't get open
Starting point is 01:23:29 Mo. Who can't? You. Hey, you go, Hey, Joe, you don't understand. And listen, Joe, I respect everything you did, right? You know, one of the best ever played a game. But you have
Starting point is 01:23:43 never seen the kind of quickness that you're going witness when you line your ass up in front of me and try to go on me, Joe. Hey, you're going to be like, what the hell? It's an, oh, Cho, it's a different when you got a basketball in your hand and you're trying to move them feet at the same time. Hey, Joe, my body,
Starting point is 01:23:59 works in unison, everything, and one accord, one band, one sound. Okay. Well, I look for, hey, I look forward to it, Ocho. I hope you do. Yeah. Real sports talk. Unk is correct. Kauai had the hype coming to L.A. as the new king,
Starting point is 01:24:16 Kauai Town, etc., etc., etc. New balance, hyping him up, and it was a failure. He was hurt more during his tenure than with the clippers than his counterparts. Yo, Joe, you remember, hey, Joe, you remember how they hyped that a new balance shoe up.
Starting point is 01:24:31 Yeah, ain't nobody. Had all kind of colors, too. Hold on, hold, hold, hold. But why are you speaking, though? Did you see Maxie new shoe with a new balance tonight? I do, I like that. They do, too.
Starting point is 01:24:41 They look nice, in the, Ocho. I like them. Yeah, I like them. Yeah, I like it. I wear new balance. Yeah, yeah. Like the 9-95 and stuff like that. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:24:51 But you ain't got none of them Kawhis, though. Them Kauais ain't jumping like that. Nah, no, I ain't got no orthopedics. You're a security or you work in the hospital with them? No, I don't. The goat, 2022. If SGA or Yokic win the ship this year, how far do they go in the all-time rank?
Starting point is 01:25:15 If Wembe wins the title, is he top 25 all-time right now, considering his team he would have to beat. No, hell not. Can't be no top 25. You got so many guys that got multiple championships. and multiple MVP. He ain't just jumping them just because he beat somebody and he won one title.
Starting point is 01:25:33 No, not in just one year. But, you know, if he can do it multiple times, I ain't saying he got to win a title back to back, but be dominant for multiple years. Yeah, that'll put him right in now. SGA, they want to win a chip this year. Ooh. I mean, two-time MVP, two titles.
Starting point is 01:25:54 Yeah, I guess you're going to, I think you have to put him in. Top 25, top 20, Joe. Yolk is definitely going to. If Yolk is win a chip? Man, Shay, Shay going to, if Yokic win, he definitely in there. If Shay, if Shay won this year, Uncle Ocho, he going to be in there. For the simple fact, man, from a point guard's perspective, bro, to be shooting 55% from the field is insane. It's only one other guy who's done that.
Starting point is 01:26:24 And that's Michael Jordan. I'm saying from a guard standpoint. Yeah. Ain't no other guards shot no high field goal percentage like that. No, no, no. They talk about Shay all they want to with the foul baiting and all that. That man, they're fishing, bro. Extremely.
Starting point is 01:26:43 Sam LeGrand 89. Laugh my ass off. Ocho tried to use the same-tied bubble championship argument to excuse the fact that Kauai underperform for the clippers in the bubble. The topic wasn't even about LeBron. Y'all brought LeBron into this. Ocho. Oh, whoa.
Starting point is 01:26:59 Whoa, whoa, whoa. He's trying to, he's trying to, he's trying to, he's trying to discount my guy. I'm not trying to discount anything. Now you have to understand. I'm not a talking head when it comes to the game of basketball. So I'm recalling some of the things I heard from those that actually play the game. Yeah. To use it, you know, in the format in which we're talking about where you gave Kauai goddamn F.
Starting point is 01:27:23 That's all. How many, how many was, had an opportunity to do the same thing that the Lakers did, which was winner. championship in the bubble and they didn't. You notice, it's just like when you were in a relationship, when y'all break up, he wasn't that good anyway. He wasn't good in bed, you're a minute man. You wouldn't say that we were together for three years.
Starting point is 01:27:47 Gallo. Could get what? Guess what? If I wasn't doing that, you showed making me think I were doing something. Hey, hey, hey. Yeah. Yeah. So, and while you're at it, you ain't went no ATV award yourself now.
Starting point is 01:28:05 why are you over to bumping your gums? Okay, just, true be told. No, I ain't petty like that. That's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a try to make you feel less than you weren't that good and yada, yada, yada, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, it's all good. I'm sorry, it didn't work for you, but it was, it was very pleasurable for me. All the LeBron talk, but let's not get distracted us from the warriors against the,
Starting point is 01:28:37 The Warriors in five against O KC. Oh, so you said the Warriors going to win in five or OKC's going to win in five? Man, like he said the Warriors in five against OKC. You must be playing NBA 2K. I don't know what he played. I have no idea what he played. Flight attendant, 3654 member one year of 1047. Did I miss the official announcement that King Isol has become a full-time member?
Starting point is 01:29:08 What is that? All right, so best in-game dunker. I got to go with Vince, Braun, MJ, Stroh Miles Swift, Russell Westbrook. Man, hey, hey, hold on. Stroh Miles Swift was something else. I played, hey, I played against Strohmey when we was in college, too. When I was at Arkansas, he was at LSU. Strohmeyer, hey, he probably is one of the best end-game dunkers for sure.
Starting point is 01:29:36 I mean, he ain't no question about Vince. I think Bronn a hell of an in-game dunker. Yes. Yeah. Most power dunkers are really good in-game dunkers. You look at Dominique, you look at Sean Kemp. Yeah. Guy that dunk hard, Shack.
Starting point is 01:29:59 That shit wasn't even fair what Shag was doing. And that point, when Westbrook dunk, he acted like the rim did. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. He definitely tried to pull it down. The OKC, Dave. Hey, uh, was on that Instagram graphic looking like he was going to go home and watch a movie on the radio.
Starting point is 01:30:19 Man, go ahead on, man. Okay, see, getting the Clippers lottery pick, too. This boy, the broke damn game, I ain't even want to play no more. Hey, hey. But Joe, you know when you do, when you do stuff like that, and it's hard for you to build
Starting point is 01:30:39 because they keep taking your, they keep taking your players. Like, maybe you could have drafted. after somebody, but they got them. And it's hard because you were in salary cap, hell. Well, yeah, you're the one made them, them bogus trades, giving up all your draft picks. I don't know what you were thinking.
Starting point is 01:30:56 In five years. What you thought we were going to be doing in five years? Yeah, we need some picks. You say, hey, but Kauai, you said, I'm a roll the dice. I cannot have Kauai. You know they're going to be built into it. How are you going to have LeBron,
Starting point is 01:31:14 Kawhi and AD. And you play, you're already in the basement. At least Kawhi gave you some buzz. But you're in no better shape than what you were before. He brought buzz like Lob City. You remember Lobb City?
Starting point is 01:31:30 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. As I look at the numbers that I think Derek Henry is going to catch Emmett Smith and become the all-time leading Russia. What you guys think? Y'all think he's going to catch Emmett? I don't.
Starting point is 01:31:45 How many more yards he need? Probably about 6,000. Man, that's a lot of yards, bro. Hell yeah, it is. But if it about me, hey, man, you got to have longevity to get the catch. Let's see how he does this year. Because he had, I mean, he was seconded in the NFL in Russia last year.
Starting point is 01:32:11 You know, the year before that he was seconded in the NFL. He had 1900. Kind of dropped back a little bit this year, had 1,500. Let's see if he can keep that pace for a couple of more years. If he can keep that, if he can keep, but even if, even if he probably, he'll be honest, he probably going to be probably going to be probably going to need to need to have like 14, 15, 150, 100 for another two years of guys. That'll put him at, that'll put him at 3,000.
Starting point is 01:32:37 So he'll need 3,000 more. And what year is this for Henry? 11. Then the Ravens would have to. 2016, right? I think he was 2016. And he's in the right situation for it, though, huh? Yes.
Starting point is 01:32:54 It's even more important. Will the Ravens allow him to get close to getting the goddamn record? You might have to extend him again. He's entering year 11. Mm. He can strain together another 13, 14-100-yard seasons. You think he can train together another three, three, four then? Yes.
Starting point is 01:33:17 Baltimore, yeah? You know how that big. Man, Lamello and the Horn is in six. I said it. They're going to be bossing in six. What? They still got to win another game, though, don't they? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:33:37 You got to beat Phoenix. No, they got to be... Who? Orlando, right? Yeah, they got to beat Orlando. Oh. But they're playing in Orlando, too. Might be talk that up as a win.
