I haven't been outside, so I haven't been outside, so I really wouldn't know the places. that all the people go because I've been on lockdown, quarantine. It's been a whole lot of things that I ain't even seen. Like, where are the people who used to go to the bars and what happened to the traffic, where are the cars? Oh, my God, it's been crazy. A lot of chicks then had babies.

Since the world got shut down, now it's back open. And now a lot of dudes are just hoping. It didn't really happen, but it did. Now you got the next 18 years to raise this kid. Hey, you know what I did? I was chilling at the crib coming up with ideas, and then I started thinking about some stuff that I ain't thought about.

How about a pancake from the Waffle House? No, that wouldn't work. Maybe I can put the sleeve on a sleeveless shirt. Wait, no, that's stupid, don't do it. Maybe I can turn some ice into some fluid. Then it's water. See? I'm getting smarter.

The rhymes that I'm doing are just get it harder. Like, what's the ice-sacelis triangle? I just wanted to rap about that so I can dangle and hang it in your face to know that I'm better. Hey, you ever sweat in a sweater? Hey, then why they really call it that? Hey, since you're listening, everyone, welcome back. Welcome back.

Welcome back. L. Duncan, you had no idea, did you? I did have an idea, yes. You did? I was just in my head. I was singing along with you. I was just singing like, I am the one that had a quarantine baby.

He knocked me up. I was like, I'm not a lady. So I just decided that I spent my time looking fine, pregnant as fuck, but I don't care because he's gone now. He's out and he's fat. Okay. What do you know about that?

Nothing. I'm nothing. Stop right now. I did not know she was going to take it down. Six bars. I've got six bars in me. Six whole bars. I did not know that you were going to...

Okay, L. Duncan. Hey, welcome back to the Black Excellent Spotlight. Now, check this out. We got a very special guest in the house with us today in the trap house. We're going to put out some of our fancy art and everything for you, El Duncan. It's very fancy. And you gave me your best Capri, son. Come on, man.

We got to make you feel at home. It's ice cold. Come on. This refrigerator works. They think it's just a problem. I see. Got the candles? How you been, first of all?

I'd be good. I'd be good. Yeah, thank you. Clearly, you've had a quarantine baby. I did have a quarantine baby. I have a coronial. He's a little five-month-old guy. Is that what they call it?

Yeah, the coronials. Coronials. Yeah, yeah. Shout out to all of them. A whole generation of people that were like, you know what? Evan, like we're going to be here anyway, so we might as well just have babies. Wow. So I don't advise it because you have to keep them.

Well, past the pandemic when you do want to leave the house. They're still there. They're still there. Hungry. Constantly. He eats a lot. He's like 23 pounds. Really?

So you had a son during this pandemic? I had a son, yeah. That's crazy that it lasted this long that you could have a whole ass baby. An entire child. Like, conceive, have, and now he's still five months old. And we are still in this pandemic. Yeah. Shout out to your husband, man.

He over there smiling like hell right now. He did this on purpose. He did that. It was premeditated. He's like, swish. Swish. One time. One and done.

One and done. No, man, we definitely have a lot of people on our show. You know, a lot of fans that, you know, love sports. And that just happens to be your avenue right now. Yeah, it is. Yeah, I'm a sports center anchor. I work at ESPN. First of all.

Thank you. You know, just for a lady, just going over there putting it down in a male-dominated field. Yeah, it's cool. I like it because friends would tell you that I'm confrontational in one. confrontational in one way, and that is when it comes to sports. So I get paid to kind of do the same thing I'd be doing at a bar, which is clowning dudes and putting them in their place, you know, about sports. When did you fall in love with sports?

Little kid, my whole family is very sports-oriented, so we were actually huge raised fans growing up. I played baseball. My mom knows more about sports than maybe any man I've ever met. And so they just fostered the love of sports and me. I wanted to combine those two things when I got older. Yeah. You know you have a very familiar voice here around Atlanta.

I used to do radio here. Yeah, with Ryan Cameron. Shout out to Ryan Cameron. What up, R.C. The OG. The OG. Yes. On V-103 in Atlanta.

What was that like? Yeah, I mean, it was dope. I met Ryan. I was doing the two live stews, so anybody knows. Shout out to them too. The stews, yeah, yeah. You're dropping them already earlier. You see that?

Yeah, I know, I know. You see these names on the whole thing? I was an intern on their show, and I met Ryan. I needed a job. obviously I was broke and I was working at a hair salon and I would take my lunch break and go do radio with the stews. And so I met Ryan Cameron through them and begged him to give me a chance on his show. And he was like, listen, I'm coming back. He had left to go to D.C. for a little while. He's like, I'm coming back. I need a traffic reporter. Pays like $20,000 a year. I was like that much. It was a lot when you were like, you know, washing hair for a living. I was just going to ask you, what was your career like at the hair salon? Yeah, receptionist in washing hair. Okay.

I washed Kenny Rogers' hair once. Hey, that's dope. Yeah. That's dope. Yeah. I was like, what are these in the hair? Got it. Got it.

The hair line. That's where you can tell. The work gets done. And it was a buckhead salon. So we saw a lot of that. But yeah, and the rest of his history, he gave me a chance to do traffic. And we, you know, we had a nice rapport for 10, 11 years on the radio here. That's a nice run.

Really nice run. Yeah. That's dope. Yeah. So what was it like just, you know, being a part of the hip-hop scene in Atlanta, just seeing it change so many different times. And you're like right there at the number one radio station as it's happening every morning, somebody there. Yeah, I was like right on the like the beginning of the AG takeover, the Alex Gidawan takeover, right? Like he had just basically owned like...

The valet room. Yeah, yeah. He had just like upgraded from owning parking lots. And, you know, he wasn't that removed from being a valet. I mean, I think that's what's so remarkable about AG's story. Despite the fact that like, is he still pulling that bullshit where he sells t-shirts outside or sells shirts outside of the club for $100 and tells you you you're not up to code on the dress code? Everybody gets a clean slate. Do they?

So he's wearing t-shirts out? Alex, are you still pulling that? He would tell you that you were underdress and he'd be like, but I've got a shirt here for you for $100. And he would make you change into a collared shirt that was from like Walmart so that he could get you for a hundo because you drove all the way out to the velvet room and yo, as was not turning. back a wrap. So it was a nice hustle. Especially if you had a parking spot. You remember the parking? Oh my God. That was crazy. It was awful. I have to cross the street.

So yeah, no, it was cool. I don't go out anymore here. I've heard it's changed quite a bit. But it was dope sort of being I was a little young for like ESO. You're young for ESO. Esso was not your thing, right? Like that's not caught the end of it. Yeah, yeah.

So I was much more a velvet room compound. Yeah, I didn't really like going. out too tough back in those days. It was a lot going on in the streets and too many rich people in the club, just throwing away money. That was insane to me. I remember having a party with Alex

where he had Diddy coming and he sold a table next to Diddy to some dude for like $20,000 because the guy just wanted proximity to Diddy. And yes, that excess of money was wildly uncomfortable for someone like me. It was making $22,000 a year. Yeah.

But it was cool to sort of see what Atlanta was like then compared to sort of what it feels like now, which is a little too Hollywood for my taste, right? Like it feels like. I wanted to get a little bit more Hollywood. Do you? Just a tad bit more. Where you riding down the street

and you see a helicopter with a camera and they're shooting like a car chasing. Got you. Yeah. You want O.J. Simpson light here in Atlanta all the time. Yeah, but it's over when they say cut. Got you. Yeah.

That makes total sense. All right, back to traffic, everybody. Now, where are you originally from? Atlanta. I grew up, I say Atlanta adjacent. She's giving my husband's giving me the look. He's from East Point, so he can really say Atlanta. I'm from.

East Pern. You know where Marietta is? Yeah. Okay, well, I'm from the town next to it called Powder Springs, Georgia. Okay. A little suburb, and someone said, ooh, you know where that is? Yeah, you couldn't catch a ride to Powder Springs. Hell no.

No, it's at least 45 minutes from here. Yeah. It's the country. But I moved to the city when I was 22 and was there until I moved to pursue my sports career. See, that's what people don't know, though. All the cities that's around the city

lit, too, bro. Pala Springs got their own drum out there. Marietta. Yep. Atworth. Br, you don't know about them late nights and Agworth. Shit get real around there.

We used to have this place called the Dirty Bird Cafe. You can guess when the year was. I'm aging myself. And it would go down in there. I mean, it was just like some little place in a strip mall. But we would go in there.

They had Jamal Anderson's pictures everywhere. And we would just go in there and they would play his stupid song once a night and everyone would get a free round of shots, which was bad because we were 17. They would just serve underage kids. It was fantastic. It was fantastic.

Yeah, those were the days. Those were the days. Yeah, man. What happened? We got old and responsible. Man, now look at you. You're all responsible and professional and working at sports center.

What's this whole experience? Yeah, it's cool. I mean, I get to talk about sports for a living and that's cool, but I think that most importantly, I'm trying to, on a serious note, represent, you know, have representation because I knew I could do this because I saw Robin Roberts do it. And so I'm trying to pave as many ways as I can. So the next generation of like young black females that want to, to your point, exist in male dominated spaces feel empowered to do it. What advice would you give them? Yeah, to use all of the things that make you uniquely female to your advantage. I think women are sort of conditioned to believe that everything that they do is antithical to what they need, right? Act like a man, be tough, don't use your compassion or your emotion or you'll be deemed as weak. But I think that women are so good at things, we overcomplicate it, and it's not so complicated. Speak up for yourself, advocate for yourself.

use your voice and most importantly lean on your intuition and all the things that make you uniquely female because it's the one thing we've got over men, you know, and it's been weaponized, but it's a strength. That's dope. You really said a mouthful

right now. I've been known to do that. I don't know if you just summoned all the women to form Voltron or what, but I just felt like that needed an extra moment. Unite. Use your womanness. I was like, what is she saying right now?

All of it, you know. Look outside, there's going to be women flying and shit. If you've got womanness, then you know what I mean. You know. I don't, I have no idea. You recognize it. I have manness. What's manness involved?

I can break shit, open shit, lose shit, fall asleep fast. That's your superpower? And at this point, you wouldn't believe how good I am at leaving. Like, all you have, you don't have to tell me twice, I'm ready to go. Always. Uh-uh. We can leave as soon as we get there. So are you one of those people that, like, are already sort of thinking of your excuse to leave?

Or do you Irish goodbye? I'm so used to leaving. I don't even make excuses. Nice. I just leave. You just go. What do I need an excuse for? You don't.

You're a grown-ass man. I'm not making no excuses. I came. I didn't say I was going to stay. So you do, like, a drive-by appearance. Most of the time. And people should understand that. Sure.

Yeah. You're a busy man. Exactly. So what would predicate you staying for a long time at something? How good would that event party or scene have to be? It would have to be fun. Like, not like people doing stuff fun. Like, this is just fun.

Yeah. I think that's one of the most underrated things where people overlook fun. Like you turn into an adult and then you get all serious about life and you forget to have some Have some fun. Yes. Gotta have some fun, man. That's why it's so dope to have people like you that can come through and do, you know, that are actually in the field that they want to be in, doing what they want to do, and having fun with it.

That's the key to life, Lowe's, is sheer joy. Like, I know it sounds super corny. I was talking to a colleague recently about this, and I would like to believe, I'm joking about superpowers being womanness, but I'd like to believe that my superpower is trying to be a joyful person and bring joy to other people. I appreciate being here because I love your show and I think what you guys do here is great. I love how much it's grown, sort of seeing... Come on.

Well, you guys are like what Atlanta is about, right? Creative people coming together, believing in something, speaking to a certain group of people who has largely been ignored. And then those people rally and they give you your flowers and they respond to you and to see what you guys have done and how much you're growing. I think it's amazing.

So I'm really glad that you had me because we've been planning this. You know, I've talked to Chad, months ago. We've been planning this for months the ability for me to come and hang out with you guys so I do appreciate this. Yeah. I appreciate it. Because you've got come and give us some updates. Who you think going to get Julio Jones?

I saw something the other day and I was like, I was like, this makes so much sense. No, not Dallas. Julio wants to win. He willio wants to win. And he needs to win soon because we all know Julio got about 25 games left in and I don't know how many, that's probably going to take

four seasons to get to. But he don't have much time left with that foot. It could be very interesting if the Packers can't work this thing out with Aaron Rogers. They make a trade for Julio Jones and they give Jordan Love to the Falcons. The Falcons then maybe have their heir to parents to Matt Ryan. They give up Julio. They get something in return. So I could see that happening as a way to pacify Aaron Rogers.

You give him Julio and you get rid of the dude that made him feel some type of way. Stranger things have happened. Stranger things have happened. Do you want Julio to do? I want you to really think about it though. I know you love Julio. Yes, that's what I was saying. But do you think that his better days are behind him?

No. You still think... Yes. You think that if Julio Jones is on the Falcons this year, they can win a championship. Julio is not the problem. I know that. He is definitely not the problem.

He has done everything and some other shit that they have asked him to do. Absolutely. No, he is definitely not the problem. But as a fan of Julio Jones, Julio Jones. I understand. He needs to go. He has given his best. Yes. They have wasted his talent. He don't owe Atlanta nothing. And he will forever be one of the greatest. He made one of the, that catch in the Super Bowl was one of the greatest catches that I've ever

seen. It's as if Julio was trying to will that team to a championship. But Matt Ryan was like, not today, devil, not today. I am going to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. And that's exactly what happened. He got in the way of what should have been Julio's moment. He was going to be an MVP in the Super Bowl and you're right. He don't know Atlanta anything. He's given us a lot of years. He tried to wait it out as long as he could because I think he thought that Matt would go first. In 2020, a group of young woman in a tidy suburb of New York City found themselves in an AI-fueled nightmare. Someone was posting photos. It was just me naked. Well, not me, but But me with someone else's body parts on my body parts that looked exactly like my own.

I wanted to throw up. I wanted to scream. It happened in Levittown, New York. But reporting this series took us through the darkest corners of the internet and to the front lines of a global battle against deep fake pornography. This should be illegal, but what is this? This is a story about a technology that's moving faster than the law and about vigilantes trying to stem the tide.

I think he's realized that they have chosen Matt Ryan. He has to go. Good, bad, or indifferent.

And there's nobody else coming. Like, even if they trade Matt Ryan next year, who's coming down the pipeline? His 45-year-old backup just retired. They don't even have any other quarterbacks on the roster. Oh, you got me fired up nowadays. That's what happened when you talk about the Falcons. I'm like, I just don't.

It's, yes, about any Atlanta sports team. Everything they do is nonsensical. I don't know why we keep coming back. It's like we're sadists. It's like we enjoy the pain. Why else do we keep doing this? I keep looking at my phone like, oh my God, I can't wait to watch the hawks tomorrow night. Why?

The hawks have been winning, though. You can't stop. Sure, yes. Those are going to make shit, man. That's exactly what I'm saying, bro. The hawks be catching strays because of the falcons, just because they're the same birds. No, it's because they're in the bird family. They're not the same birds.

I don't want the animal people like, they are not the same. They are in the same house of family of birds of prey. It's just the, it's the battered sports. enemy that knows that this is all a setup. It's like the rug gets pulled out, and the hawks steal one in New York, just like the Braves stole a couple in New York. And then came home and never won another one. That's exactly where I met with this whole Matt Ryan situation.

He's like, you know, like you have a party at your house. It's that dude who's drunk, but he's not like obnoxious. He's just annoying as hell. Like, bro, who friend is this? Who you here with, bro? Like, that's where I'm mad with Matt Ryan. something about him gets under your skin. And I think, listen, he's a nice guy, right?

We don't know that. That's debatable. Yeah, I mean, I know enough people that know him that know, like, he's, you know, he's, you know, he's like, he's like, what was beaver cleaver? But he might not be nice to me, though, after he watched this and be like, yeah, that's how you feel? So I get it. Oh, trust me. He's been catching bullets for me for a long time. So if he's mad at anybody on this couch, it's me.

I just, I get tired of the idea that he's elite. because Matt Ryan has only ever been able to do well when he has had a fantastic running game. And I feel like Michael Turner was completely, he's the reason Matt Ryan was so good at the beginning of his career, right? And then Devante Freeman, like he always has to have a thousand-yard rusher

to do anything. His better days are behind him. That one year was an anomaly. And the fact that Arthur Blank just doesn't think that it's fathomable to move on from him is insane to me. They've got to be related or something because nowhere else could you have. You have a job, man.

You fuck up that much, and they let you keep your job. You just keep coming back. He is like the Homer Simpson of quarterbacks. He really is. I always wish, like, a lot of, like, small inconveniences happen to him. Just on some Atlanta shit. Like, I hope he always in traffic. I hope his Waffle House ain't never hot.

Like, just, you know, I hope his lemon pepper wings ain't never really lemon peppery. Just all types of small inconveniences for man around. I love that you think he gets lemon pepper wings. He probably does. Where does he eat them at? At the stadium. That should be everything he needs to know.

He's definitely not in an American deli. He probably passed. It's an American deli within 20 minutes or wherever he lives. Where does he live? Who knows? We know. Rich people, Atlanta. Buckhead.

They have an underground Atlanta that, like, they just drive and then you go under and it's like a whole world. Oh, no. I just heard about it. This is just some things that you've heard about. Probably. I was in say like, like underground Atlanta? Yeah, no, no, no, like, it's some other shit. I don't know.

I believe it. I don't know where anybody lives in Atlanta. Every time somebody invite me over their house, they got to tell me where it is. It don't matter if I've been there for five years straight. I need you to text me that address. I don't remember where you. I don't know anybody for you live. You put it, like, ways and stuff.

Like, you, like, follow GPS to the letter of the wall? I follow Google, because Google knows exactly where your ass is. Because you know why? Because Facebook told them. Okay. That makes so much sense, doing it. It does. Google is right.

Waze is cute. Police, to the left. Yeah, okay. The police already made a whole video talking about how you can turn that shit off if you want to. Waze has you going through, like, parking lots, and I just think it's completely

unnecessary, to save 26 seconds. Tell you what made me get Waze, though. Remember they had that promo where you can use T-Pain voice? Yes. That's how they got me. The best. They have big mom energy here. They have like a cookie,

Monster one, too. That's actually quite cute. Really? Yeah. No, see, that's some shit. Right? Right? You can roll a cookie. I could definitely see myself Bussing the left. Cookie. It's to the left. Yeah, yeah, it is.

Police to the left. That'd be hard. It's not bad. So who are some of, like, who are some of your favorite teams to cover these days? What's keeping it interesting over there at the workplace?

Yeah, I mean, well, the pandemic was tough, right? Right. So thank God, Tom Brady. from Boston because that gave us is that what he did talk about yeah man he I think he left yeah he bailed I think he kind of like it was emotional it's like when you walk in and you catch your girls sitting on a dude left like that's what we doing all right bet y'all not the only team and football Tampa Bay really likes me as a person and he left and he won the Super Bowl and he was like yeah

whatever yeah that was I mean but that was nuts you didn't ever think he would really leave Boston. I did. Really? Because that whole team loyalty shit is old school. Nobody does that. It's a business. Go get the money and the happiness. You've been abused up there and all that was cold ass weather. They don't listen

to your opinion. You got to go where you appreciate it. Yeah. I think the nets are keeping us talking. The Lakers per usual are keeping us talking. And finally the Cowboys. Here's a fun fact. It is so much better. Whenever people say things,

like, you know, oh, you guys really push this or you push that or you all want the Cowboys and stuff like that to be good. Hell yeah, we do. When the Cowboys are good, people watch sports, right? When the Knicks are good, people watch basketball. You want some of those sort of flagship tent pole teams to be really, really good. So right now we're doing well because we are seeing our big teams succeed, you know? Like, who's, who, what's your whistle?

Who gets you going? In the sports world? The WMBA? Right? I don't care nothing about what happened. I just like to see those ladies. Ballin? Balling.

I want both teams to win. That's how crazy is. I feel like a father. So a tie? I'm like, they all won. Participation trophy? Now who's got the big mom energy. You're going to bring orange slices after the game?

Every time a lady get her shot block, I'd be like, she didn't have to do her like. She ain't right. Right. Because I saw one chick, she, like, got her shot blocked by Tall Land Cinnage, like, slammed down a little bit. It just... It felt abusive to you. It felt abusive. You know, shout out the WMBA because they're seeing record numbers right now. They're seeing their best ratings in years, yeah.

They should let the rim down a little bit so them ladies can dunk. They don't got to let the rim down. The ladies can dunk. It's only like three. I want it to be like nine and a half feet. So they could at least be like hitting the rim or something. You know. Let them do some Globetter stuff

or like one of them gives them a boost. Like you're allowed to like run up the backs of people? Maybe just the second half or something. Like what are they trying to prove shooting on that high-ass rim? I'm a man and I'd be like, that shit's hot. You gotta be a big motherfucker to shoot this. I'm not one of them short guys

like, I can play ball real good to prove y'all. I can overcome anything. I was like, that shit ain't for me. That's for tall people. It's easier. Look at all these layups the little guy's doing. Nobody wants to see that shit. Little guys will lay up you to death.

You're like, go play with the girls. And then they'll call him a student of the game. They'll be like, technically he's fantastic, fundamentally. Great fundamentals. Great fundamentals. Team guy. We're not on the high school state championship. This is for entertainment.

Nobody want to see no wide open-off layup. You make millions. You better attempt to dump fucking lay up. It's like what people will be like, you know, the Princeton offense is just so compelling, it is not. Watching dudes just pass the ball 30 times and then someone took a spot-up jumper is boring. I don't even understand the whole concept of sports.

Who told old white men they know everything about sports? Who? How can you coach LeBron James? Frank Vogue. This motherfucker was literally born to play basketball. Hey, LeBron, you know, man, you don't shut up, Gary. When did you play in the 50s?

Everybody had on Chuck Taylor's when you played Gary. There's little hot pants, too, the short shorts. Exactly. Well, that's why, you know, when you're a LeBron, you're not listening. Your coach is not doing any of that stuff, right? Your coach is mostly telling everyone else what they need to be doing. That's what I'm saying. Like, how are you going to listen to Luke Walton?

Yeah, well, no, well, he wasn't going to, which is why he wasn't there. We saw Luke in action. We saw Luke. It's like Luke was on the team and then just started wearing suits to the game. I can do this. He retired himself. I heard the coach say a lot of stuff. I remember most of it.

I don't know. It's just the dynamic of that is funny. It's hell to me. Yeah, I. I think that, do you think, what do you think about the Lakers' chances this year? Like, who's your basketball team? I mean, the Lakers always have a chance. They have that LeBron guy.

Yeah. They do. You're not concerned about the injury? What injury? His ankle. Don't believe that, L. Duncan. First of all, if you're going to be over there, let me give you some inside scoop from the street. I got my L. Duncan notes right here.

But let me give you some perspective from the street. Okay. I just said LeBron James was born to play basketball. You think an ankle injury will stop him? Yes. I don't. I don't. No.

I think if he's healthy, you know, no. El Duncan, if you look at every team, they all got about like two or three superhuman. Sure. That are made from a completely different fabric. Yeah. Like LeBron James. He's a dog. Like Coahuy Leonard.

Like Ben Wallace. You get what I'm saying? Like, they made from like another substance. Sure. Like, they just built for this. Yeah, all gravitas. Yeah, I felt like if everything was on the line and LeBron needed to go out there and win the game he could.

Maybe that's just me believing in crazy shit, but he has a great team. He's a clutch shooter. He got the other dude that could score 50 whenever he get ready. Anthony Davis. I just call him the other dude. That's my nickname for him. Oh, the other dude.

Yeah, old boy. Yeah. Oh, what you call. Hey, yeah. Hey, uh, shout-e. Eyebrows. Yeah. You know eyebrow.

The brow guy. The brow. Yeah. Uh, you think that they can take down the nets, though? The nets? The nets can take down the nets. All they take is one argument. They don't even like each other.

They don't even like each other. Are you, do you find these big giant mega super teams to be compelling or do you find it to be? Every team should be a super team. I agree. That's what they had back in the day. Yeah, when Michael Jordan had Scotty Pippen. Sure. It was the team that you wanted to see.

You knew Paxson was going to step in and hit the three on somebody. You get what I'm saying? It's like they had the Pistons. They had the San Antonio Spurs and the Houston Rockets. All these teams had at least two to three superstars. That's what it takes to have a team. I totally agree. I hate these purists that think that somehow they're soft or weak because they want to go play with them.

I'm like, what do you? These dudes grew up together. They spent the night. at each other's house. They're real-life friends. If they want to be on a team together, it only makes sense. Like my mom sit by your mom.

Right. Why wouldn't we be team? We play cousins. Like, your mama came to my house and cooked for your family. Like, you see this on Instagram, so it only makes sense. Yeah.

I don't like the whole idea of like pay one dude a lot of money and just put whoever on the team. I hate that shit. Got you. So basically, like, what these golden parachute type contracts. Yeah. What the Lakers did with Kobe for many, many years. They gave him that money,

but they couldn't put anybody around him towards the end. Nobody wanted to play with him. Yeah. It was just hard dude to deal with. Yeah. A legend. Yep. Michael Jordan Crabb. Did you see that? I did. Yeah. I heard that Kobe had keys made. He'd had to have a special set of keys made from every arena in the NBA because he would beat the crew there. So like his people would have early access so that he could get there at four or five o'clock in the morning to shoot. And he would do this at every arena across the country. Like, that's how dedicated he was to his craft. And this is well, well, well into his career.

You know, post multiple championships, still the guy at five o'clock in the morning at the gym shooting. Yeah, that's different. That's what I'm telling you. You're right. You think the ankle going to stop that? That's fair. Look at that full circle, L.D.D. Bring my dog.

I'm going to tell the people down there. Shoot. You want to come do a sports center? Come on. Y'all needs to at least let me be up in the HBCU division. They got like 11 games that's going to be televised next year. Sure do. Come on.

Let's go. I'll do it. Okay. Hey, what's up? Welcome back. This man, Carlos Miller. I am out here at the HBC. Hold on.

Man, the hot dog good as hell. Man, who's there to make this hot dog? But y'all got to get down here. The game that's tight. But the food is off the chain. We're down here in Tallahasseh, Florida. Back to you, L. Dunkin. Cold Tigers.

Perfect. I'll just pitch that. I'll be like, next time we need a food correspondent, then let's call up Carlos. Atmosphere. You know, like, the people show up before the game. Yeah. And be like, it is nuts out here on the infield, Elle.

I'm telling you, they've got the tailgators out. The grills are out. And guess what, Elle? Them girls are out, too. I get back at you in a minute. They're wilding over here. You're even holding the IFB. Yeah.

Well, nice. I'm reading this off the screen. I put this in the show. my screen. And they are wild, too. I love it. Yeah. In 2020, a group of young woman in a tidy suburb of New York City

found themselves in an AI-fueled nightmare. Someone was posting photos. It was just me naked. Well, not me, but me with someone else's body parts on my body parts that looked exactly like my own. I wanted to throw up. I wanted to scream. It happened in Levitown, New York.

But reporting this series took us through the darkest corners of the internet and to the front lines of a global battle against deepfake pornography. This should be illegal, but what is this?

That's dope, man. I really appreciate you coming through. Yeah, man. I like talking about. Just know, anytime you want to come through and vent and talk

sports or yell at our cameras because you don't get to do all that at your job you have to be professional somewhat somewhat yeah I'm most proud that on a very classy show called around the horn I was able to right this is the most nice arguing isn't it it's very classy what do you think listen listen listen L I don't know what you've been on this morning but I'm telling you LeBron's ankle is not a problem you can sit there all you want and try to say that he's not built for this. This boy has been playing basketball since he was seven months old.

And then my little arrow going to point up and then you can respond. Yeah, you're going to get points, yeah. I watch the show. I like it. But on that classy show with real journalists, I dropped a Trillville reference. And I was very, very proud.

I did. I said some cut. And my producer, who is Caucasian, was like, is that something that is going to get us in trouble, what you just said? And I was like, no, it's just a Trillville song. He was like, I repeat.

Is that something that will get us into trouble? I was like, it was like a top hit. And we're good. And so that's what I'm bringing, Carlos. So if I can do that on SportsCenter. Hold up. We got to talk about women shooting their shot then, Elle Durker. So you saw your husband just chilling.

Yeah. And you was like, what's up? Pretty much. I looked like I was on a date. I was not. But I looked like I was on like a double date. How you look like you're on a date? Because I was with a dude, right?

I had met a friend there who was a guy. and then he had invited a couple friend that he knew. So we were, you know, as guy girl, guy girl, it looked like we were on a date. So I saw him, I thought he was cute. I tried to get his attention. How you do that? He would be right now.

Literally, this is exactly how it was because my table was facing this way and he's right there. And so I'm trying to get his attention and I'm literally like, and it's so embarrassing that the guy that I was with was like, you're embarrassing yourself. I was like, he won't look at me.

And he was just like, so I recognized that we both knew the DJ. What up, DJ Tech, technology? I pretended to not know tech. I walked up to Omar's table. I said, excuse me, what's the DJ's name? And he was like, oh, that's tech. I was like, thank you. That was just so that he would finally see me and be like, she's cute.

And I think it worked. And then I had the DJ introduce us. I was like, who's your friend that you were talking to? He's like, that's Omar. I was like, does he have a girlfriend? He said, I don't think so. I said, is Atlanta. Does he have a girlfriend?

Fellas, you always supposed to say no. What the fuck is this? I think so shit. Bro, I'm mad now. Like, what do you I think so? Go ahead. I ain't mean to cut you off. I just was trying to catch the fellas up.

No. And he introduced us. And, yeah, the rest of his history. We bonded over a tree of lights, like the tree festival that we used to go to his kids in Atlanta. That's just going to show you, bro. The dudes would do anything for a date. The tree of life?

Tree of lights. Yeah, tree of lights. He out there having fun this shit, telling his homework, bro, y'all got to start going to this shit. Man, there's so many women out here, bro. Baby, know it. Yeah, man.

Yeah, but shoot your shot, because this idea that, you know, you got to sit around, if I would have tried to wait on him, he never would have saw me. And he didn't, he'd noticed that I looked like I was on a date. He never would have come up to me.

And frankly, I would have been sort of mortified if he would have. For real? Well, I think it's gross when men hit on women when they clearly are with someone. What if it's not a day, though? You think I'm about to let your boyfriend stop me from meeting my soulmate?

Whatever. No, I'm just playing. This is Atlanta, no, brother. Those will walk up to you in line at a movie theater. You holding hands with your girl. He'll just walk up on the other hand. You would buddy, you would... Y'all together.

No disrespect, homie. No disrespect. No disrespect. No disrespect. Dudes will hit on you while they're holding their girl's hands here in Atlanta at Linux Mall with the red hat on. I remember you still all these years later. He was holding her hand as she's pushing a stroller.

I'm assuming his son in it. And he was like, what's not red? Hey, red, red, red. I was like, she's right next to you. See, just like you weren't on a date that could have been his older sister. Holding his, holding hands. She's emotional. She's been going through something with the baby father.

So he was like, sir, let's get out. So he was whispering just out of respect for her, like he was trying to be... She's been with the baby. She don't need to hear no lot of hollering. Got you. Just keep the tone low and, I got you, okay. And plus, they might have been talking about family business, you know what I'm saying? Got you anything.

Okay. It ain't never what it looked like. I feel like you could write a book of excuses in Atlanta. Not excuses. I'm just saying. I live in Atlanta. And I think that there's a lot of misconceptions going on out here in these streets, and it don't get enough light. Okay.

That's exactly why we have this platform. Yeah. So you guys aren't actually dogs. We're just misunderstood. No, it's not necessarily that we misunderstood, but I think some women just refuse to just... Put up with your bullshit? Not put up... But that's the thing about it.

There is no universal bullshit. Every man got his own bullshit. Sure. There's some dudes out here who... who's so faithful that they woman is like, I wish you would find somebody to just get the hell out of my face. There are women like that? There are women like that.

A lot of women don't even want relationships. See, the women who don't want relationships, they have the guys who are trying to be good and they're like, that shit bored. And then we all meeting the wrong people. Yeah. I've been saying that. It's self-destructive behavior. Exactly. Yeah.

Then plus, you know, you gotta factor in. A lot of women not shooting a shot. Fair. Making themselves seen. No, that's totally true. It's ego. Exactly. Take the ego out of the way. Go shoot your shot.

You think it's cute, holler at him. Yeah, especially if you're ugly. Okay. You never know. You never know. You gotta take chances. Hey, excuse me. Hey, I'm just saying.

I know ain't your first choice, but I'm an option. What would, so if an ugly girl came up and shot her shot at you, what would have you, like, looking, past whatever you deem to be ugly and saying, okay, I'm a, I'm a buyer. It depends on what, see, some people can be like. See, sometimes it's not even just ugly. You just have a new look like a unique look.

Sometimes you can be so ugly that you're attractive. That is true. Because you just look different. Like a French bulldog. Exactly. So ugly, it's cute. Like, I don't know if I like this shit, but I'm still trying to figure it out.

I'm intrigued. Right. And then if you're around long, you start like, oh, I like the sound of her voice. She got nice fingers. You start factoring in shit and then we don't even know. You being fucked around and fell in love. With somebody unique, maybe fine as hell to you.

See, that ain't no universal attractiveness. We all fucked up to somebody. That's what I learned. Totally. Hell, yeah. Someone, wise man told me that a long time ago, right? You show me the prettiest woman in the world, and I'll show you a man tired of sleeping with her.

Exactly. I believe it was after Hallie Berry got divorced for the second or third time. Yeah, it was sad. I know. I mean, I mean, I've been on her. She's been tweeting, all reckless. Oh, she's feeling fine in her 50s. I'm loving Hallie Berry in her 50s.

Hey, I'm on her radar. Are you? I got to be. Yeah? Are you a DM slider? Nah, I ain't gonna do all that. Okay. I don't go nowhere.

I ain't welcome. Gotcha. Gotcha. But if she slip up in LOL, or something. Don't follow me back. I'm in that because what you follow me for? Right. I got privileged now. Yeah, so. So as soon as she follows you, then like, then you're allowed to slide in the DMs, that's like a, that's a heads up for you. El Duncan. God got me. Got you. I'm covered. I feel that way. If he get me that far,

yeah. He'd know what I do. He know what I do. He said she would up and you knock them down that's it but if it ain't happened but if it ain't happened like that he ain't ready for it to happen and he don't know how I'm going to add so what I'm doing in the meantime is I'm I'm preparing got you get what I'm saying okay what if it's not Halliberry what if it's a Halliberry type got you like Jennifer Lopez okay Jennifer Lopez slat in my DM right hey Lowe's caught a little clip of the show with L Duncan I love the show come on come on Jenny is that your dream is that your Girl?

Uh-uh. Who's your dream girl? No. I don't even... They don't even apply no more. Knocked off years ago, El Duncan. She's somebody wife now, El Duncan. Knocked my dream girl off three, four times, El Duncan.

It's kind of the game been good to me. If I don't... We'll watch up the next dream girl. If I don't never do nothing else, El Duncan. talking out of the game been good to me oh my yes i'm talking about you hey we would love funny men you're gonna want to read yeah hey the game been good to me you understand me with the tea good if he if god say no more ever for you collo I'd be like thank you lord but everything you didn't did up until this point let me do this missionary work so I can get back in your good grace also

Jesus whips. Telling you, L. Duncan. Do you think that's the quality that women love most in a man is humor? Uh-uh. What do you think it is? Because you could be hilarious, but if you don't have any money,

you got to, hey, you can laugh with a woman, but just know, she ain't gonna never respect you. That's the first thing you got to have as a man. You got to be financially stable. or you'll never be taking serious by one, ever, because all the fun she could have, that's cool, but ain't nobody trying to laugh up in no goddamn dark and shit. Giggling on a futon.

Yeah, man. But that's what I'm saying. They'll laugh with you, but just know that situation. You're not winning in that one. So, human is very important, though, because there's so much shit that'll make you cry. So that's why Well, in the best of both worlds

Do you find a humorous man with money Like you? Uh-uh, I got one of them two You are like the fifth guest in the road To try to come on here and claim I got some money El Duncan If I had much money I would not be in the trap
