Look, I've been kind of

on the fence about this for a while. That's why I've never spoke on it. But with the amount of people that I know recently that have gotten COVID and with like the numbers rising, I think it's important for me to say like, I got the vaccine. I think everybody should. I think it's really important like that. We all do this just as like like citizens as Americans. We have to look out for each other and get this shit under control guys. So like I suggest to all my followers you guys make set an appointment and get the vaccine first thing. Psych

bitch. If it ain't broke don't fix it. I never had COVID. You ain't sticking me with that motherfucking needle. It's the motherfucking flu. Get over it. Okay. If you're sick stay inside. I'm tired of having okay. Why are we working around y'all? If over it okay if you're sick stay inside i'm tired of having okay why are we working around y'all if y'all if you're in danger stay your ass inside i'm tired okay there he goes the god mc has spoken brother chet coming to the pulpit to fucking preach

the gospel motherfucker it's so stupid um he's got ryan locked the eyes he's got the those you got ryan locked the eyes just just nothing going on behind those those yeah behind blue eyes yeah yeah anyway that's cool that's so sick yeah you did that term right yeah that was tight wow that has he has to be like his dad's greatest source of stress right maybe or if at this point he's just like fucking shit i don't even understand where do we go wrong vita she's like let's not talk about it honey right let's not talk he's lost oof um all right let's talk about better products of our lovely city of los angeles uh russell westbrook coming home uh-oh time to talk nba listen

watch out been a drought forward yeah man the the lakers have acquired multi-time MVP Russell Westbrook, right? He won him more than once, didn't he? Maybe only once. But anyways, he won the motherfucking MVP of the NBA has averaged a triple-double is just an all-around next-level

athlete, next-level competitor. I don't love this for the lakers just because of his fit been saying that since i remember that the second the rumors came up you're like i don't know if that's the best but i think the way they look at it is like this gives lebron time on the bench so we can just always have some kind of next level player on the floor to play with ad yeah um because i'm i can only imagine what him and ad are gonna do russell and it like because those lobs they will be served um and the dimes will be dropping

but yeah i don't know i it's i i i like i said buddy healed has always been a thing that i was like man like we we definitely like buddy healed uh but again like most laker fans we will still be like i don't know do we need russell westbrook right do we i'd rather have this do we need carmelo anthony so it's a lot but yeah he's having his first press uh press conference right now and we just saw a journalist ask like the dumbest question to someone who plays basketball and is from la which is you know carm like mellow said like the like the Lakers have always kind of been on his mind as a player and things like that. Is that the case for you?

To the man born in Long Beach, California, went to UCLA? Yes. It's like... And he answered it very politely. Oh, shit, dude, you're from LA? Whoa. Okay, that makes sense.

Oh, wow. He just does that response. He's like dude what the most prepared journalist ever yeah but now we've uh yeah so i don't know we'll see we'll see how the season goes yeah it should be fun though should be fun yeah it'll definitely be fun did you see that hug between marquise morris and joelle and bead no oh my god so you know and beads like i live in this motherfucker's mind rent free like they have their shit like there was a fucking so marquise morris went to the sixers and when he got there he's like dapping up joelle and bead and like the gym and m beads fucking face

is so funny he's he's quite literally like i can't't believe this motherfucker's right now. Look at this picture. That's them hugging. Oh my god. He's spiking the camera like it's the office while he's hugging him. He's giving a gym look to the camera. Damn, man. He's not great at hiding his feelings

about people, which is why Ben Simmons continuing to be on the Sixers is going to be, I think maybe the most awkward, like it might make history as the most awkward situation, a NBA basketball player has ever been in. Cause he has been thrown under the bus by the best player on this team, his coach. Right. They're basically like, yeah, no, he no he's gone like we're we're trading him and then they couldn't get what they wanted for him so it's

gonna be weird um at least the videos the great off-season tradition of ben simmons shooting in the gym videos have come back up again this time it looks like he was practicing with uh rajon rondo on his you know on his three game oh um but you're like oh okay well can you do that in games consistently that'll be cool that's interesting a fellow person who everyone was like there's no way he'll be able to shoot and then he was like got up to like 30 percent yeah like i'll figure something out yeah man it'll be interesting like the sixers i, I don't know if this is inside info or not, but I heard the Sixers sent somebody out to LA to work with him, and they couldn't locate him. Couldn't locate Ben Simmons?

Couldn't locate him. Couldn't find him. Like, he was just, like, not answering their calls. Wow. Wow, wow, wow. But, wow i mean live your best life bean yeah also like fuck them i would be so mad at the at the sixers if like after uh yeah someone from your work's calling you like hey man where you at right now i'm like i'm fucking no i'm not doing this but also just the way they threw him under the bus after the after the series it's like

doc maybe you should have made some adjustments i don't know uh but yes he is very limited uh we knew it was going to be a problem heading into the playoffs that continues to be a problem and the sixers have not dealt with it yeah but like an injection molded school chair. Doc Rivers does not make adjustments. That's right. Cyber symposium. Yeah, baby. Mike Lindell, baby. The MyPillow guy. The thing that he was getting all mad at Fox for not promoting because he's like, I'm having my cyber symposium where I will fucking reveal all the stolen facts about the election it's it's an

absolute mess um there's like there's first of all there's like over a hundred thousand people fucking live streaming it um and that's just on one platform um but this whole thing is about like him just claiming that the 2020 election is stolen he says he has evidence like on cnn i don't know if you saw this thing earlier in the week um cnn took like he's like can you show us some of this evidence like here's the metadata from the thing and they sent it to like a ton of experts and they're like this is the most rudimentary metadata like we've ever seen has nothing to do with anything like this is just metadata and he keeps saying he's gonna prove it as of right now he hasn't proved a single thing,

except for the fact that he doesn't like people that break for lunch during long lectures. I'm just going to play this thing for you where he's like, I ain't going to lunch. He's getting mad that people are like, yo, you've been saying nonsense for hours. Can we get some food real quick? You think about that? I got something I want to show you offstage. OK, I guess we have something offstage. We're live streaming though.

So, you want to talk? I think we're set up for a break. And maybe we're going to talk a little bit right when we get back there. We're going to go into... No, we're not going on a break. Put up that movie again. Run the movie. There's no breaks.

We're streaming 72 hours. Is this The Godfather? So around the world, this never stops. You guys can guys can go eat that's fine but i ain't eating i'm staying up here for 72 hours before they ruin our signal okay uh-huh cool so that'll prove that you don't have evidence even more because the whole thing is he's just pump baking with his supposed evidence that he doesn't show anyone it's all a grift yeah yeah i'm just meant to keep this fucking disaster rolling nothing says uh tech savvy like people who still use the word cyber um when talking about things related to the computer yeah if you're not in literal cyber

security you're like this is my cyber wife wait All right, let's take a quick break. We'll be right back. Some people won't give you the real talk on drugs, but it's time we know the facts.

Listen to the Amber and Lacey Lacey and Amber show on Will Ferrell's Big Money Players Network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcast or wherever you get your podcasts. and we're back uh and there is big news in the world of lionel messi uh and i don't know what it means there's a lot of acronyms a lot of uh initials being thrown around uh he he left one

club and went to another yep the he this man who's played his entire career for barcelona barcelona um he mesquite club as their motto is more than a club um is basically they completely fucked up their finances they were deficit spending into oblivion without actually riding the ship financially and they got to this place where they they couldn't even if messi wanted to play for free they couldn't keep him on the roster because all the other bloated contracts that they had that was keeping them like just sort of in this calculation that they weren't spending within their their means essentially so it sounds like they tried everything to keep him there and

he had like this really sad press conference where he's like saying farewell to barcelona and like i kind of i'm not a barcelona supporter but i kind of got mad at them for like this guy was clearly going to be a lifer like he had no interest playing anywhere else but through their terrible financial management they had no choice but to fucking send him along so now he's playing for uh you know the wonderful qatari investment firms uh that that back paris saint germain uh so he's playing for psg now which has like a lineup of neymar and kilian mbappe from france oh wow and now lionel messi yeah so they're pretty stacked. They're pretty stacked. And it's just going to be,

for anyone who loves the beautiful game, it's going to be really strange to see him wear anything except the Blaugrana of Barcelona. And in a way, I'm kind of, I don't know, again, I'm not a supporter, but it felt like that was the one thing that was nailed on, is that he would play for Barcelona. And that's just, that's where we are. It was like g to go into the red socks or something exactly right

exactly what uh it does the his new team play like within the same league as no they play in france so they're in league uh so they so which is he's gonna be fucking scoring a fuck ton of goals like yeah it's the leagues don't even i mean the french league is fine but psg is the strongest team i have a feeling he's gonna be putting on a show um but they will potentially could face each other in the champions league uh when you know other top international or european clubs play each other damn um but the fans were losing their minds because he's like the greatest fucking player like living player uh and yeah the screams were like it's like beetle mania because of course they have god as some people refer to him well shout out shout out to the

entire city of barcelona uh i'm sure y'all are hurt yo they're fucked they're in a bad way they're booing like other players for like not taking pay cuts to be able to bring the wage bill down to allow messi to stay like there's this one defender samuel and umtiti he's kind of doing like a steph marbury thing where he's like look bro i got a contract like you think i'm gonna fuck it like i don't have another big deal in me so you can boo me that you can boo me the fuck out of here but i need i they have to honor this contract i'm going to take this money um you gotta love it when the fans side with ownership instead of actually like generationally talented human beings that make like the thing that they root for possible that's always great

all right well let's talk about matt gates yeah because you know andrew cuomo has stepped down does the right thing that guy always uh finally steps down and pressure and impending impeachment and people are now saying hey wait wait a second what about this guy who uh is being accused of actually trafficking under i don't know i don't know what that's gonna do um because this guy even when he's directly confronted with it acts like he doesn't understand english or can't hear or doesn't know what the words mean and is uninterested in acknowledging anything but yeah i'm sure maybe Matt Gaetz will do the right thing. I have a feeling he won't.

And I have a feeling if the charges are what they are and they come to pass, he'll just be regular old arrested. Right. Which, yeah. And finally, got Moderna and got Pfizer are trending. Yeah. are trending yeah people are tweeting out their regular ass uh immunity experiences to counteract the bullshit horror stories that you're hearing i like the myths that seem to be spreading most are that you know i know somebody who got it and died i know somebody who got it and became infertile. I know that like a doctor told me that if you get it now, uh, in three years, you'll die or you'll be three years from now, you'll be infertile.

Um, those, those seem to be the big ones, the big four, as we call them in the world of bullshitology. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. Yeah. I, the lot, everything, everything you said has been debunked um also please educate yourself on the technology being used there's no ticking time bomb mechanism

which will suddenly render your organs inert right and which will collapse into a heap um i heard on new year's eve 2024 uh we will all hear a little beep and then our heads will explode like yeah it'll be like uh the leftovers basically but but you'll just see piles of bodies everywhere they're not just going to be like now you see them now you don't type stuff um did their clothes vanish too no yeah i think everything vanished right oh was it was it the clothes too yeah because there weren't just like big piles of clothes left around because otherwise people would have like they just disappeared they would have been naked on the other side then yeah they've been naked on the other side i don't know we don't know what happens to them we don't know what happens at all um but yeah people like you know are trying to really let

sort of out or uh what's what's what i'm like they want to overtake all of the negative posts or like there's only a couple that are just going viral and so they're just saying like please so when people look they know what the fucking experience is like i got moderna and i remember the best thing i did was the person at dodger stadium said ice your fucking arm the second you get home uh because it will help a lot with the injection site paint i did that i was fucking fine the second dose i went i i fucking hit myself with the ice pack i was good money and then i was just super fatigued the rest of the time i i could i barely got through mortal combat on my couch i woke up and i was good and again

you know it people's experiences vary but not to the point where i would ever say like oh god i don't know why i went through that just to have some kind of uh protection against a preventable illness but yeah yeah i have a relative who got a had the vaccine uh got exposed to somebody through work and tested positive but her husband had been vaccinated he never caught it from her so you know those breakthrough uh not only like because people are talking about how well there's these breakthrough uh infections but they make like reinfection and passing it along much, much harder. Yeah.

And also breakthrough cases are such as, yes, they happen. But if you're talking about truly the end game where you, you would want the preventable thing or the unwanted outcome of being in a hospital, those make up barely any, you know,

of the cases. So please just don't be heasy with it. It's okay. I do feel like we're moving more and more towards kind of an understanding of this the the same way that people are starting to come around to the idea that you know it's not our fault for preferring plastic straws to paper straws it's uh you know the big oil company's fault for caught for causing destroying the environment knowingly over the past like three decades i do feel like we need to both shame the people who are refusing to get the vaccine for bad reasons but uh also like just make it mandatory like yeah and slowly a lot of places are moving

towards that yeah and you know and for people who if again like there's there's clearly people who are just anti-vax no matter what there's nothing you can tell them and then there are people who seem confused and scared and things like that yeah if you if if people fall into that column around you that i you know you you can gently tell them there's nothing there's there's nothing to fear go literally speak with your doctor um and ask them straight up is this gonna happen is it they they will give you straight up answers but i i don't know it's uh it's preventable y'all prevent it is preventable all right that is gonna do it for us for this tuesday afternoon we are back tomorrow with a whole ass

episode of the show until then be kind to each other be kind to yourselves get the fucking vaccine don't do nothing about white supremacy we'll talk to y'all tomorrow bye do you ever wonder where your favorite foods come from?
