It's that time to put on your jersey and wave your flag, whoever you root for.
Why do I watch the World Cup?
That's like asking me, why do I breed?
And it's beautiful.
The guys are young and cute and fit.
It's not just a game. It's your culture.
I like watching it with my dad.
It's a connecting force.
From Futuro Studios, I'm Fernanda Chavari, and this is American Football,
a show about soccer culture in the U.S.
and its underdog roots.

Here's something that should not be as complicated as it is, getting a racist statue removed.
And here's something that should be a whole lot easier than it is, getting a new one put up in its place.
I'm Akila Hughes, and Rebel Spirit, season two, is about both of those things.
As I was watching these statues come down, and I was thinking about what it meant that I grew up in a majority black city,
in which there were more homages to enslavers than there were to enslave people.
Listen to Rebel Spirit Season 2 on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
It just came out.
Jeremy, what did you just do?
You just sit yourself up for failure.
I've never heard you tell this story.
I have never told this story.
This must have been tucked deep, deep in the Jeremy Linfile.
My name is MC Jen.
I'm excited to tell you about laugh, but not least.
I'll be chatting with guests from all walks of life about the power of humor when it comes to facing difficult times.
These will be conversations that remind us all, life is hard, laugh harder.
Listen and laugh but not least with MCJent on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.
From daily news to dating fails, conspiracy theories to cooking with celebrities who can't actually cook,
Amazon Music's got the most ad-free top podcasts ready to entertain, included with Prime.
He's front of office is struggling desperately to find a trade partner for Jaa Morant
per Brian Winhorse.
Ja was the future face of the NBA at one point and had his own shoe line with Nike.
Joe, how did we get here?
I can tell you.
Man, due to, uh, we got here, obviously due to Jai's negligence of the things that he does
off the court.
We can't cut it a slice of no other damn way on the Ocho.
You know, the,
the gun situations.
And from that, from that point, yeah, it was twice.
And from that point, it's been downhill for my guy.
I ain't going to lie to you.
You know, I don't know how else to cut it.
It seems like that has affected him to the point to where he hasn't played up to his standards
or what we think his standards are, being that superstar.
Hey, oh, Ocho, he still got one of the hottest damn shoes out here.
His ass ain't even been playing.
And he's about to drop another one.
You know what I mean?
So I don't know about y'all, but for me being a basketball head, I love and enjoy watching that young man play.
I want to see him get back on the court.
I want to see him get back playing and having fun playing.
See, it's a difference.
Man, it's a difference when you play the game and you ain't really worried about all that outside noise and you can just hoop.
You know, at the end of the day, you still, even though you get paid a lot of money for, you still want to enjoy to have fun.
We lose sight of that.
We lose sight of that once we get in these professions because it's so much on.
to be able to contribute and perform on a night-to-night basis.
Right.
And to some degree, a lot of cats ain't ready for that.
Sometimes it comes, it happens a lot too fast, too soon, and next thing you know, you caught
in a heap of trouble.
You feel what I'm saying?
I just want to see the young man get out of the rut.
I want to see him get back to ball and his shoes going to sell here.
It's a hot commodity.
I just want to see him get back to playing the game, bro.
But he's going to get back, Uncle Joe.
He's going to get back.
And listen.
A change of scenery is always great.
It's always great.
And one thing, not just any scenery,
a scenery where they're structure, huh, Joe?
Yeah.
You know, Joe?
Yeah, I'm with you.
I'm with you.
I'm with you.
I'm with you.
I'm with you.
I'm with you.
A place where there's discipline.
You know, the person who's,
the person who sits at the top,
he rules with an iron fist.
So some of the stuff you got away with,
you know, in the past,
that in Memphis,
you know, it ain't on flow here.
This is the great organization
from top to bottom to have a player like Jha.
down here in Miami come on down here
and revive your career
the only thing
go ahead Joe
the only thing about that
Ocho talk to me take your time now
you're going to have too many damn
non-shooters man
oh you know
hey Claire be here
oh my bad
but think about this
if you're saying you're going to have
Jock Greek freaking bam
and I just think
hey man that's Jock can't really play off the ball
he hadn't showed that he can play off the ball
like that
and he hadn't showed he's the
and he hasn't developed a jump shot.
He doesn't have a mid-range shot.
Yeah.
And he doesn't attack the paint like he once did.
Well, he's been hurt.
I'm sure he could.
The likelihood as you get older,
you get healthier.
It ain't happening.
But he ain't out.
Because remember when D. Rose?
It's only, even, even the great,
Michael Jordan didn't attack the paint way.
He had to develop the fade away.
Kobe had he developed the fade away.
You ain't going to be above the rim forever.
Yeah.
So that would a great.
but I saw the writing on the wall.
When they traded Bain and they traded Triple J,
oh, you thought they were going to stick with J?
Yeah.
Yeah.
It was just a matter of time.
And John said what he said last year about him.
Oh, they probably thought they'd win more games without me.
When he started speaking, you already saw the buddy go to his.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
What I didn't understand, and I still don't to this day,
I don't know no $150 million thugs.
I don't.
Every thug, they say they're trying to get that paper.
John got the paper and they wanted to be that.
I don't understand it.
I need somebody to explain that to me.
What is the appeal of carrying that steel around you, man?
Because the last thing, you let you give the devil a ride enough.
Eventually he'll drive.
You carry a gun around enough.
Somebody will make you pull it.
Hey, look, look, now, y'all know, y'all know it all goes back to the cats who you're hanging out with outside that damn basketball court.
Hey, come on.
Who your friends are, you know, what they bring to the table, what the hell they're doing every damn day.
You know what I mean?
I think that's what it all, you know, revert back to, you know, kind of some of the ways that he's picked up.
Because he wasn't like this when he came home.
He wasn't like this.
Look, you know, most of us go get our hair cut.
we get out here cutting the hood.
Man, what up, man, Sharp.
How you doing?
Yada, yada, yada.
I'm cool.
Man, you ought to have your boy to a game.
I wish I might.
I like that.
I don't fool around like that.
I'm not going to be riding, right.
I ain't fit to pretend.
That ain't my life.
That ain't the life of people that I hang around with.
So I get to that level
I've never hung around with people like that
Right
So I get to that level
I'm who I am
As visible as I am
I make the kind of money that I make
And now all of a sudden I'm gonna ride around with a bunch of y'all
A bunch of shooters
No, sir
No sir
Make that make sense
And I damn sure ain't gonna have one on me
I ain't now
Hell now
Nah
Yeah, Joe
You ain't gonna have it
Okay
I got something else.
Don't worry about it.
No, I don't think I'm better than anybody,
but I don't want to put myself in a situation
because at the end of the day, I'm the name.
Jock is the name.
Don't nobody know?
I mean, you hear the story that the NBA did it,
what you call him, that somebody in Jaws' car
put a red dot on somebody.
He all in Denver, and he got, he got thinking,
come on, bro, come on now, that's too much.
Hey, hey, that's that young and naive, though, Uncle Ocho.
You know, you think you're invincible, bro, when you're they young.
You're making that type of money?
Come on, man.
We got to try to put ourselves in their young man's shoes a little bit.
You know what I mean?
Like, you got the hottest shoe on the market.
You a damn megastar from when kids see you because they just adore you.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
Hey, you know how we travel as a professional team?
I don't know the type of security it is with football.
but in basketball, bro,
he used to be real easy to get on the plane with a blick.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, because you didn't have to, because what we do,
we just pull right up.
Before now, before 2001,
we just pulled right up to the tarmac, Joe.
Get out and get our ass on the plane.
You absolutely, we never went to the airport.
Oh, Cho, we pulled right up.
We pull right up to the plane.
You ain't got to take more than 10 steps.
Your ass sitting in your seat.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
Yes.
That's how it used to be, bro.
Yeah, everything changed after 9-11.
Yeah.
And then even when they moved airports,
they would drive us,
they would drive us right to the tarmac.
Even at the regular airport,
we didn't go inside.
We drove right to the tarmac.
Got out the bus,
got up, went on.
But here's the problem,
this is what I'm trying to understand.
Joe, sometimes when you come from that environment,
you just say, that ain't what he was.
You wait until you get to the NBA,
the NBA,
You're worth a hundred plus million.
And that's what you want to, that's what you choose to hang with?
Hey, hey, hey, that's that Memphis, boy.
Hey, that's that Memphis.
They got too much Memphis in them, boy.
I just want barbecue.
They're hustling down there.
Yeah, they got some barbecue for you.
That's all I want.
Barbecue.
Real.
They got some barbecue.
Charlie Barrow.
Yeah.
Hey, let me tell you, let me tell you something.
Jock come down and hit a Miami.
You know, he ain't going to be no entourage.
No, he's going to be no entourage.
You're going to have it's going to be a one, two-man show.
Nah, only for, hey, Joe, just me and him.
No, you know how it is, okay, Ocho.
Once you start new, you know, you're on the straight narrow,
then about six months in, you didn't got,
you didn't got used to everything, got acclimated.
You're like, hold on, yeah, let me, you, you know.
I got him.
All right.
I got him.
Well, you taking them to Tutsis ain't going to damn help nothing.
Joe, we're going to Tussies for 30 minutes to get the shit.
seafood, rice, and lobster tail with chocolate cake
and no ice and the latte.
I know the type of tail that you try to get up in there.
It ain't no lobster tail.
No, no, no.
I literally go there for the food.
The food is like a five-star restaurant, Joe.
You go for the wings or the five.
Neither one.
I just told you.
My bag.
My bag.
Seafood, huh?
Seafood, rice and lobster tail.
Yeah, okay.
I get the same thing every time.
Joe, I post it.
I post it every time I'm there, Joe.
I would just there before I left to go to New York.
It's more to see this.
Booty juice?
What season do you use?
What season do you use?
No, no, my booty juice be at home.
I just say, don't you know.
Yeah, I mean, yeah, you know, I just remind you y'all.
Now, I know it's more to see than some damn food in there.
That's what I know, yeah.
Hey, Joe, I go in there.
Let's see, if I go in at 8 o'clock, Joe, the people don't,
the waitress or whoever the waitress is,
don't even take more than she knows what to put in.
Yeah.
Oh, you're a regular?
Yeah, you got to get the food.
You got to get the food before you start getting dancing.
Now, you can't be dancing all over my food.
Now, damn.
Nah, no.
Some guys don't care.
Oh, no, no, I don't know who the, I ain't the son.
Hey, hold on.
I'm the guy to care.
Hey.
You ain't, this ain't on my wings.
Now, come on, Joey, my fries.
That man, I don't care.
Oh, yeah, I know you don't.
Hey, Joe.
I'm not getting no dances, man.
You ain't.
I can't have anybody sitting on my pants and creasing them up.
What about she just standing like a foot in front of you and do it?
Then you block my damn vision to see everybody else in here.
I ain't trying to look at nobody else.
But you ain't got me one eye, you ain't got no great peripheral.
You see what the head you think you're.
That man, he must be thinking you're a superman or the barric man or something.
Yeah, you're blah by your life.
Yeah.
You ain't gonna be able to see what was in front of you anyway.
Hey, the funny thing about it, with this one eye.
You know, I'm, I'm, uh, 2020 now.
Yeah.
Man, please.
Matter of fact, I'm 2010 in my left eye.
Huh?
Snipe vision, huh?
I could have been, I could have been, uh, a Marine, a Navy seal.
Hey, hey.
The way I see with this thing.
Hey, I don't know how one out of you be in a Navy seal.
It probably would hinder you.
No, what you think one out would hinder me playing football?
Look what I did.
Yeah, but, but, you know, but, but, uh, and, uh, and, uh, and, uh, and, uh, and, uh,
military. It ain't like what it used to be when you and I was coming up where they did
drills. They actually sing your ass to fight now. You'll put your ass in a combat zone. So
this motion where you do field work and you have light, lais, and you're actually going to fight. So
I don't know, I don't know if one I really helped you if you really tried to fight. Yeah, I got
I got you. I got you. I got you.
But, uh, no, but I wish y'all the best.
Uh, I just think the thing is, like you said, it's time for them to move on.
I think it's better for both teams to part ways.
Um, sometimes we have to learn about, sometimes we have to bump our own here.
It's really that simple.
It's really that simple.
And, and, it sounds like Memphis is trying to, hey, they're trying to get a bit more
than what they bargain for as far as the price on them.
You know what I mean?
That ain't going to happen, Joe, because y'all want to keep diminishing.
his value, you know, bait, you know, obviously showing the stats, showing
injury, showing how he's declining in certain areas of his game.
He hasn't improved.
He hasn't added anything to his tool bag.
So, I mean, you're not going to get what you think you are.
But I know one thing, once he gets a change in the city with most players or people need,
you know, you get a nice reset, a nice mental reset.
You refresh, you recharge, and you get back at it.
Yeah.
I just, I just worry about it.
When he got the ball in his hand, like an Ocho, he's a little bit.
He gets to his floater.
Obviously, I would like to see his midi get a little better.
His three-point needs to get a little better.
But him driving to the basket and getting to his floater is pretty elite.
He's elite picking a roll.
He can pass.
He can make guys around them better.
But, br, if you're talking about playing with other all-star caliber talent,
you have to learn how to play without their ball, man.
You're going to have to.
Think about how great D-Wade was.
And what did D. Wade have to do?
Learn to play with our off the ball.
Yeah.
Got it.
I mean, that's why LeBron coming here, too.
No, mind.
My bad.
Damn, hold on.
Y'all getting Jai and LeBron?
Nah, no, no, no, no, no, no.
No.
Hey, Ocho, Ocho, real talk, real talk.
What's up, right?
I wouldn't mind.
I don't know how Ockfield,
but I wouldn't mind seeing Brian in Miami.
I ain't going to lie to you.
What, hey, Joe, I already took, yeah,
considering.
I'm saying, I take Brian
before I take John.
Yeah.
for sure.
Even even a 40, even a 41, 42 year old LeBron,
because he can do both.
He can play on the,
he can play off the ball.
He can have the ball in his hands.
He can defer to Janus.
When Janus need to do his thing,
you know, Janus, he had 30 and 10.
He's the easiest shots he ever had.
Man.
That man going to average, he's going to lead,
he probably going to lead the league and assist,
Bronwell, if he used to go there.
Because all he really have to do for real is facilitate.
And obviously, I think he'll average still 18 to 22 at night.
But him facilitated.
at a high rate, man, he'll make Greek freak look like the best thing in the lead.
You imagine Bron and Bam in the picket road, Brian and Freak in the Pick and Roe?
Man, I couldn't imagine having to listen to damn Ocho ass every damn night behind them playing.
Hey, listen, I ain't going to say nothing, Joe, because all I'm going to say is I told you so.
In matter of fact, you know, you know, Megan Nostalian X going to be there too.
You hear me?
Oh, Clay?
Yeah.
Oh, man.
Yeah. Hey, Joe.
They need Clay.
I ain't going to like to.
Yeah.
Listen, chat.
Y'all better listen to me now.
I ain't telling you what I heard.
I'm telling you what I know.
I'm in those meetings.
I'm behind closed doors.
Well.
With the important figures who make the decisions.
I guess I ain't going to be able to be sitting.
Okay.
Come on, now.
I may act a fool, but I ain't one.
Okay.
Okay.
And Miami too far away to sit courtside, so.
Are you good?
Hey, listen, if you want to get Corside down here in Miami
I have a ticket.
I either get him from Mickey Erison, right?
You know?
I get him from Sposha.
Man, you know how far away is from Vegas to Miami?
You good, you good, unc, you good.
I have my voice send my P.J for you, hear me?
I got a private jet that flat out of Ovalo.
Man, the only PJ I know by the peanut butt and jelly.
You talk about bad.
Hey, I'm trying to accommodate you.
Hey, Uncle coming on.
Man, he's coming on home in the house.
We're going to be right.
I'll go check out.
Yeah.
I used to go to the house all the time, Joe.
Man, come on.
Oh, we back.
They back in business, I'm telling you.
They're back in business.
You know, you know, smooth?
The ticket guy?
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's what I get my ticket from.
But all the concert tickets, any ticket that I need is, smooth with the guy.
Yeah, he, uh, I think I know who, I think I know who.
I think I know who he's talking about.
He got tickets.
He's damn to have tickets any damn thing around here.
Super Bowl, All-Star game, finals game, you name it.
Hey.
Yeah.
Great concert.
Yeah.
I bet you my ticket, man, better than here.
Hey, smooth.
Now when I come, hey, he's on them pricing.
Now, I don't get it.

The buzzing from the stadium,

the announcers calling the place
soccer, football.
It's home.
Why do I watch the World Cup?
That's like asking me, why do I breed?
I inherited that fandom from my mom.
I like watching it with my dad.
It's a connecting force.
From Futuro Studios, I'm Fernanda Chavari, and this is American Football,
a show about soccer culture in the U.S. and its underdog roots.
We go beyond the game to the people and the stories that make it great.
A soccer game is a festival.
It's not just.
as a game. It's your culture.
I took an elbow to my head
which cracked my skull. It is an
American game. The Brazilians don't like
hearing that, though. Are they the only ones that don't like
that? Nobody likes that.
As we get ready for
the Men's World Cup this summer,

Joy 101 with Hoda Kotby.
If you know me, you know this. I'm always searching for inspiration, for support, and useful tools to help maximize joy.
So this podcast lets us uncover all of that together. We're going to have these meaningful conversations with the world's most fascinating people.
Like when actress Olivia Munn shared how she overcame fierce health challenges that she never saw coming.
I've gone through breast cancer and then helped my mother through breast cancer. And that was more difficult.
There's a lot of people who understand postpartum depression.
I was not prepared for postpartum anxiety.
Olympic champ Sean Johnson revealed why she had no choice but to be a gymnast.
There was something about gymnastics that was intoxicating to me.
It's given me a belief that we all have one of those treasures inside of us.
We just have to find it.
Listen to Joy 101 with Hoda Kotby on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Everyone is a fun of a surprise
Because their new star is J. Torito Hernandez
is from Mexico
He was going to be sure
Everyone sees me as a football player
But before anything else, I'm human
Every single day I'm still learning
How to live with problems, mistakes,
relationships, emotions
ever since I was born
And I still have so many questions
Where do we come from?
What happens after death?
How do you deal with cancellation?
Cristiano or Messi?
Do aliens exist?
What is love?
Real Madrid or Varsa?
From everyday and ordinary
to the deep and extraordinary.
This isn't a normal podcast.
Everything here is spontaneous, real, and genuine.
This podcast is like a deep talk with your closest friends,
where vulnerability comes out.
Conspiracy theories end up on the table,
and goals and lessons are shared.
All in this life has an order perfect and all is just.
Wait me, I'm going to pressur me, but me will go to be done.
We are here to connect.
The Chicharito.
Oh, Javier El Chicharito Hernandez,
and together with IHA Radio,
we're going to make the ordinary, extraordinary,
stay close.
It is a carac.
Listen to Learning to Be Human on IHard Radio, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.
Here's something that should not be as complicated as it is.
Getting a racist statue removed.
And here's something that should be a whole lot easier than it is.
Getting a new one put up in its place.
As long as there's a politics of race in America, there's going to be a politics of remembering the Civil War.
To get to school, I had to go down Robert Lee Boulevard.
Get to the grocery store.
I had to go down Jefferson Davis Parkway.
If you're an historian and you leave out half of what the history is, you're not doing your job.
I'm Akila Hughes, and Rebel Spirit Season 2 goes deep on both of those things.
The fights, the politics, the people who won, and my personal campaign to add something to the Kentucky State House
that's actually worth the wall space.
We are more than our bodies.
We contain essence.
We contain spirit.
How do you represent that?
They are just fueling a fire that is really catching.
You'll see what I mean.
Listen to Rebel Spirit season two on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Hey, you some pub now.
Yeah, yeah.
The Nets and the Spurs are showing interest in Rui Hachemura for Mark Stein and Jake Fisher.
Really.
Brooklyn keeps coming up as a likely suitor, too.
For the Lakers, Rui Hachamora League sources say the Nets and Spurs are the two teams we've heard have interest in adding Hachemura services.
while the spurs are also faced with resolving Harrison Barnes future
as a veteran for heads into unrestricted free agent.
What you mean?
What's the resolve?
Joe, Joe, help me out.
Joe, this is your area expertise.
What are we resolved with Harrison Barnes?
Listen, Harrison Barnes is a great locker room guy.
He keeps those guys in order.
You need that veteran present still.
Who gave you 10, 15 minutes and night.
Let me ask you question.
Was he on the roster when they had that 13 point lead, that 14 point?
point lead, that 29 point lead, that 15 and the 60 point lead.
Yeah, he was.
He was.
Okay, well, he got to go there.
He was.
Yeah.
Listen, experience is the best teacher.
Them young dudes are going to have to go through that.
They was going to have to experience that for them to kind of know and understand what it
takes to be a champion.
They've been through it.
Now, the thing you need, the question you need to be asking is, damn, the Lakers don't
plan on bringing Hachamira back.
They ain't bringing Rui back.
Hey, how could they not, Joe?
Did you see that young bull in the playoffs?
That's what I'm saying, Ocho.
How do you, how do you not bring back after he's shooting?
Somebody, somebody, somebody going,
he's going to probably get $100 million.
He probably going to get $5, $500 million.
Yeah.
$4,400 million.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, they're a hundred million.
And then you got, Keith, oh, Keith, Smart.
Mark is Mark.
You hear Houston sniffing around there.
I made, they got a relationship.
They played, he was his coach in.
And so now you add him and Thompson, two defensive guys,
because you know Shingoon ain't playing no deep.
Man, Lakers are going to be in, they're going to be doing,
they let them two boys get away, especially Markets Smart
because of the way he changes the game, not offensively,
but him coming in defensively doing that dirty work.
I want them to do just a let, do what they do it.
Do what you're, Lakers, do what you.
doing we're gonna see we're gonna see without defensive guys if you could
outscore somebody because you're gonna need to score 150 to beat them because if
you get in the clutch you get in the clutch situation last five minutes of the
game the game within five they're gonna put yeah go back and look at it they put
Luca and they put all the reason to pick and roll every single time
go back look at okay see Thunder who they're picking the pick and roll every
Time.
Yeah.
Go back when Luca was healthy.
Who they put to picky road.
Luca.
Yeah.
That old lay defense.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
And the West too thick, bro.
It takes a special type of team to be built for Luca in AR because they're so defensively deficient.
You need dynamic bigs.
Guys who can run the floor, shot block, rebound.
Do that dirty word.
Ain't that many of them, Joe.
The ones that's good at it,
they already somewhere where they belong,
and they can't, they ain't leaving.
But again,
if you're going to have those kind of guys,
you've got to have at least two wings
that'll lock it down.
Lock it down.
You got to, Joe.
You got to.
Without it.
It ain't but a couple teams who got there.
Exactly.
You ain't but a damn couple teams.
San Antonio's Nick.
That's why they do what they do with Jalen Brunson.
because what do the Knicks have?
They got a guy in Josh Hart that can defend.
They got a guy like OG and McHale Bridges
that can defend at an even high level.
And then you bring the big in
that helps protects the paint Mitchell Robinson
to replace Kat.
You get Landry Shamit, play it unbelievable.
Well, I ain't heard no guys
that Lake is looking like that.
Damn.
But we're going to find out,
we are going to find out
how this thing works out.
it played unbelievable.
You know, sometimes he has a little laps.
Hey, that's the beat.
That's to be expected.
But he shot the cover off the ball in the playoffs.
Ooh.
He shot the cover off the ball.
Yeah, you put him with,
you put them with the right guys, bro,
who can create opportunities for him offensively
and then he ain't got to do a whole damn lot.
He's knocking it down.
And they added Alvarado, another pest.
Oh, did you go on the deep end.
Week two of the big three did not disappoint.
Michael Beasley put the team on his back and upset the Detroit Amps with an exciting comeback.
He had the game winner.
Let's take a look at the video.
Damn, man, hey, hey, hey, my Detroit Amps was controlling the whole game, too, bro.
We was up by like nine or ten points.
At one point, hell, I stopped, I had took a break and watching.
Next thing I know, hell, we were down by damn six.
Damn, Joe.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Good, good, good, good game, though.
Good game. Bees came to play.
He gave us 22 tonight.
Yeah.
He bawled out. He bawled out.
He did his one, two.
He finished with 22 and seven.
Let's listen to Beasley,
walk off reaction.
Oh, yeah, that's, we deserve it.
We deserve it.
That's all we got to showplay basketball.
We're the fucking one.
We can't stop the fucking show.
Now, yeah, I swear, we want the right.
They're going to the right.
You know what I'm saying?
We won't go off until they get the white shit from around their mouth.
That makes sense?
Hey, let me tell you y'all something.
Beasley got antics, bro, but he really a good dude.
Oh, yeah, for sure.
Yeah, he is.
He really, really a good dude.
You know, I don't know if this is just, you know, part of his persona.
You know what I mean?
as far as like to get people to watch and pay attention to the tune in.
But man, he got some good goddamn sense.
He's a good dude for real.
The Dallas power upset the L.A. riot by pretty wide margin.
Elijah Stewart was removed as captain from the riot this season
and drafted by Dallas.
Big revenge game for him.
He dropped 20 points today.
Hey, hey, and if y'all, I know y'all probably didn't see his postgame interview.
He said, listen, they ain't the riot no more.
was the guy who was riding.
I was the guy who got,
who was getting all the hustle points,
the,
the,
the,
the,
second chance effort points.
And he won't line,
bro.
He said he didn't lead countries in school.
Damn.
Yeah,
A.
Elijah,
talk your talk.
Broden boy got rid of you.
And you know,
it's like a team you've been playing for,
Uncle Ocho,
they get rid of you.
What are you going to do when you come back?
Try to get back.
Yeah,
you're going to try to give him hell.
That boy played,
he played his ass out of the day.
Chicago's quicked out of upset win
versus the DMV trilogy.
Amir Johnson and company would not be denied.
Amir Johnson.
Amir finished with 14 points and 10 boards.
Hey, Amir nice.
Amir had 26 and 12 last week.
He had 14 and 10 this week.
They had a great team balance.
Three guys with 14 points.
And Trilogy, you know, they take on Stephen Jackson's persona.
You know what I mean?
He get those gritty, tough guys who like to compete, play.
James Johnson, Earl Clark, Joy McCrae.
I seen my boy Willie Reed out there.
They got some guys who can play.
It's going to be a good season this year, bro.
I thought the ride obviously was in clear front as far as being the best team,
but clearly the Dallas Power has something to say.
But Trilogy is going to be there.
I think the triplets going to be there because these are two teams
who have veteran presence, guys who've been there, guys who won before.
So they're always going to be at the time.
Isn't Amir Johnson the last high school?
got to be drafted, come out of
high school to be drafted in the first round?
Yeah, I think he is, huh?
I think he is. He's from like California
somewhere. Yeah, he came out of high school, though.
He came out of high school.
I think so. I think he was the last guy. He might have been the last.
Yeah, you're right. He might have been the last one.
Look that up right quick.
Joe, you see how you said, Joe.
Hey, hey, hey, answer like what you're right, dude.
Hey, um, give you no one, that.
I like the Oracle, man, with information, man.
I do get to store a little information, Ocho.
I get to store a little information.
And finally, the Boston Ballhawks beat the brakes off of the big rig,
the Houston rig hand, 5136.
Joe Pargo, drop the 20 piece.
Man, listen, the boy got it in the market, Ocho.
He just got to come out and assert himself every week, you know,
to be this caliber player.
And, you know, I hate it to see him go, but he always going to have a place to where he can hoop,
bro.
The dude got game, bro.
He laid them the day.
I mean, he makes his mind up.
He tough to guard in this setting because he's so hard to keep in front of.
And, hell, you ain't got but two other damn teammates.
So you get in three on three, you got to give up something.
I don't care what you say.
Unless you got some boys who can keep guys in front, you're going to be giving up something every weekend.
So this don't surprise me, him having 20.
20 points, three assists, four rebounds.
I just want to see it on a consistent basis.
Keep going, my boy.
To an end of the nightcap all season long for our big three
and recap the big three.
So the upset of the day was playing without Lance Stevenson, Michael Beasby's
put the team on his back, got 22 and 7 as they take down Joe's team,
the Detroit amp.
The Dallas Power upset the riot.
Big revenge game for Elijah Stewart, who was the captain last year of the riot,
was drafted this year by the Dallas power.
He dropped 20 piece today.
Amir Johnson and Company.
He had 14.10 board as they took down DMV trilogy.
And the ball hogs, Boston took down the rig hands of Houston.
5136, Jeremy Pargo dropped 20.
Man, look, Uncle Ocho, the hardest part about watching these games is because I can
see myself out there and we'd be sprint through these boys like Carl Lewis.
You hear me?
We'd be sprint through these boys, man.
I ain't going to lie to y'all.
Damn, Joe.
It's the competitor in me, bro.
It's hard for me to watch these games because I'm like, damn, we.
That'd be, you're like, oh, I've made that.
Oh, I'd have got that.
Man, first of all, we'd have been working on being back-to-back champs
because we'd have won it last year.
I ain't even going to go there.
I ain't even going to go to that.
And back the MVP.
You're going to put the MVP.
Peter, you're going to put like,
with like four of them, five of the things of the road, Joe?
Guess what?
God said, you know what?
This shit too easy for you.
I got something else for you.
I'm going to put you on nightcap with Uncle and Ocho.
I'll make your ass talk.
Okay.
I'm going to make your ass talk.
That's going to be a challenge.
Okay.
I took the challenge, okay?
I like that.
I like that, Joe.
Joe, do you understand how many people ask me, man?
Man, how y'all get Joe to talk?
Joe, I said, man, the thing is getting to be quiet.
I mean, bad, Joe.
I said, man, y'all'll be sleeping on Joe.
I said, Joe, I said if he doesn't know you, he don't really talk.
But, boy, if he ever, if he ever, warm up.

That used to be me.
Yeah, yeah, but we have a good time.
We have a good time.
When we share our stuff, he don't feel so bad.

Good people do bad things.
And bad people do good things.
I don't know what you're talking about.
I don't know what y'all got going on.
You follow all 10 commandments, huh?
Listen, Ocho, I'm human.

It used to have a can of oil.
You had to have an oil spot to push down in there
to get it open and pour it out and the oil be leaving everywhere.
Yeah.
So y'all, you see, y'all, y'all had it made.
Who?

The buzzing from the stadium, the chanting from the fans, the announcers calling the place, soccer, football, at home.
Why do I watch the World Cup?
That's like asking me, why do I breed?
I inherited that fandom from my mom.
I like watching it with my dad.
It's a connecting force.
From Futuro Studios, I'm Fernanda Chavari, and this is American Football.

We go beyond the game to the people and the stories that make it great.
A soccer game is a festival. It's not just a game.
It's your culture.
I took an elbow to my head, which cracked my skull.
It is an American game.
The Brazilians don't like hearing that, though.
Are they the only ones that don't like that?
Nobody likes that.

that she never saw coming.
I've gone through breast cancer and then helped my mother through breast cancer,
and that was more difficult.
There's a lot of people who understand postpartner depression.
I was not prepared for postpartum anxiety.
Olympic champ Sean Johnson revealed why she had no choice but to be a gymnast.
There was something about gymnastics that was intoxicating to me.
It's given me a belief that we all have.
one of those treasures inside of us.
We just have to find it.

Because their new star is Javier T. Territo Hernandez.
Everyone sees me as a football player,
but before anything else, I'm human.
Every single day, I'm still learning
how to live with problems, mistakes, relationships,
emotions ever since I was born.
And I still have so many questions.
Where do we come from?
What happens after death?
How do you deal with cancellation?
Cristiano or Messi?
Do aliens exist?
What is love?
Real Madrid or Barza?
From every day and ordinary to the deep and extraordinary.
This isn't a normal podcast.
Everything here is spontaneous, real and genuine.

Here's something that should not be as complicated as it is,
getting a racist statue removed.
And here's something that should be a whole lot easier than it is,
getting a new one put up in its place.
As long as there's a politics of race in America, there's going to be a politics of remembering the Civil War.
To get to school, I had to go down Robert Lee Boulevard.
Get to the grocery store, I had to go down Jefferson Davis Parkway.
If you're an historian and you leave out half of what the history is, you're not doing your job.
I'm Akila Hughes, and Rebel Spirit Season 2 goes deep on both of those things.
The fights, the politics, the people who won, and my personal campaign to add something to the Kentucky State House that's actually worth the wall space.
We are more than our bodies.
We contain essence.
We contain spirit.
How do you represent that?
They are just fueling a fire that is really catching.
You'll see what I mean.

There's a viral video going of Angel Reese given former LSU teammate Flagee
Johnson to Cold Shoulder in their first game against each other.
People are going to say that Angel was being a sore loser.
But Flageet was celebrating.
like it was a championship
and expected to adapt for Angel
with over a minute left of the game
any competitive.
I mean, look, but I don't think
going back and listening to some of the things,
I don't think Blasier and Angel,
even though they're teammates,
I don't think they're close
as people thought they were.
Like they were in college?
Maybe they were.
Maybe I don't want to read too much,
but I know they're not as close as people think.
Right, right.
They've even said that.
I've even heard them say they're not as close
as they were.
We were in college together.
Yeah, when they were teammates in college, it's not like that no more.
So I can, you know, I can see this.
I mean, teachers.
But Flodgett cooked today.
I think Flodget had a monster game tonight.
I think you did.
I mean, I didn't get to see it.
I think she did.
It probably, hey, hey, they were personal.
For sure.
We should probably have 14 to 16, huh?
They probably ain't going to never say it, but it was personal.
Let me see.
Yeah, no, we not.
Damn.
Yeah, 20.
Oh, shoot, long.
How many points you have?
24 11.
Yeah.
Yeah, see.
Yeah, 9 or 12, 2 or 3.
24 1111.
They had 3 20 points.
They had 3 20 points scores.
Bligeet had the best game with the NBA player.
Yeah.
A 11 rebound, 24 point.
Efficiency like that.
9 for 12, 75% from the field.
Hey, man, they gained that were personal.
That girl wanted their win, because they ain't been the best team
and they ain't been one of the best top teams in WNBA.
They only were five games.
They've been awful.
I don't know who's been worse, them of Connecticut Sun,
but I think it's close to them in the Sun being the two worst teams.
I could be wrong, but I think that's it.
Yeah.
Look, I'm not going to be the one,
because you can do that, you can find something,
and a lot of times we've seen this happen
where we make more of a situation
than what really needs to be
because a lot of people, if you don't like,
if you don't like Angel Reese,
anything she does is going to annoy you.
Yep. Yep.
If you don't like Caitlin Clark,
anything that she does will annoy you.
Y'all have, we all have been there.
We all have been in a relationship.
And guess what?
Everything that partner does.
Babe, I pick, how she eat.
I don't get something from the store.
I ain't waiting to put nothing.
I ain't hungry.
Everything they do annoy you.
Everything you do enjoy them.
Why are you smacking?
Why you eat your food like that?
Hey, that's what, hey, that's my stuff be on the tail end,
Joe.
Oh, yeah, how yeah.
It's time to just, hey, listen.
Oh, yeah, you got to let it go.
Just part ways.
Come on that.
Yeah, dabbing up.
Hey, just be the, you know, people going to run,
they're going to show, they're going to show that video.
They go, and then they go back.
You remember when Clayton Clark,
when you were doing, you know, doing the, you know,
doing the John Sina.
