you only move twice exactly when he accepts the new job and it's fucking Hank Scorpio Hank Scorpio the best what a great episode alright let's tell the people what is trending Jill jill biden is trending jill dr jill biden uh she went on colbert with uh her husband not doctor uh president-elect

joe biden uh to talk about that wall street journal not even a doctor i know fuck off wow uh but they they talked about that Wall Street Journal thing and responded like a human would respond. Oh, that was like, she's not a doctor because her dissertation's garbage. Yeah. I mean, they didn't even review the dissertation. They were just like, it's an education. You can't call yourself a doctor. They didn't have a problem calling my grandfather jack ramsey

dr jack he got his dissertation the same exact shit nobody nobody had a problem when it was a sports dude but when it's a woman that makes them scared uh they start to get worried they're like she not can't know more than me anyways like what do you how do you even respond to that she's like okay then don't i don't give a shit. Right. That was kind of her vibe. She was like, yo, he called me kiddo. Are you kidding me?

I'm in my 70s. That's just stupid. Right. Cyberpunk 2077 is trending because this, yeah, now it's trending because it's being removed from platforms for uh failure to have its shit aligned uh correctly oh i didn't i didn't know that they're removing it hey you gotta give it up man you gotta give it up when you take that's a huge ass l i mean wow wow wow wow yeah i don't know i mean that sucks because all of the fucking hours that were put

in by the developers and people working on this game just to fucking put them through that to launch it half-assed and then say we're pulling it so just slap in the face uh yeah so they're apparently facing hostile staff after failed launch that's that's how it's being reported by bloomberg that they're facing a hostile staff i i think it would uh facing a reasonable backlash from treating their staff like crap and then not even being able to pull it together and make their hard, hostile work. Yeah. It's code for,

they know what their worth is. Right. And, and, but that is hostile to a, a place that's supposed to exploit your labor. Yeah. Yeah.

Mandalorian season two finale happened and neither of us saw it. So we'll be moving forward. But I will start watching it because I was waiting for it to end. So I can just sit with my mouth agape and just get, you know, just take it all in. And along with Gina Carano's problematic pandemic takes. Wait, what? Gina Carano, who's in that shit. Yeah.

She's out here fully with her mask plandemic bullshit just it's just a ton of bullshit and i think it you know you shouldn't be surprised because there aren't that many people coming out of the ufc we're like man they're they're really they've really got it together but yeah she's all stopped this deal fuck the masks and everyone's like uh don't have her back anymore. This is it. She was it. She's the MMA fighter who was in the Steven Soderbergh movie, right? Yeah, Haywire.

That was a pretty dope movie. But notably, her lines were not generated from her own brain using her own politics. Yeah. So Mike Pence is trending. own politics yeah so mike pence is trending uh the man the myth the legend uh got his uh vaccine on camera uh convincing exactly zero people uh that it was safe since nobody gives a shit about this man people on the right are not uh respecting him and the people on the left are not respecting him, and the people on the left are not respecting him. You're not even a person. You're like a decomposing corpse, like flies that land on your head for refuge.

Right. Jerry West. Let's get into it, Miles. Jerry West. You've just been itching to talk about this man. I mean... You know, he's an ex. He's an ex of yours as a Lakers fan he's an i mean he brought you guys

toby yes i look i have no problem with jerry west i really don't he's a great laker he's the logo of the nba he is that logo when he left he was it sounds like right now he's trying to do a lot uh apparently you know right now the n NBA is launching an investigation into Jerry West and the Clippers for these allegations surrounding the signing of Kawhi Leonard and how that happened. Where was there under the under the table money being passed around? Was anything happening out of character outside of normal protocols? It's looking like I don't know. Was anything happening out of character, outside of normal protocols? It's looking like, I don't know. It's looking like there's a lot of evidence that seems to, you know, suggest that maybe something was happening.

We don't know quite yet. There's some voicemails where Jerry West is talking to this agent. It's all because this agent is suing Jerry West. Like, yo, you owe me money for all that shit I did to get Kawhi Leonard tip signedard tip signed for the clippers and out of that we're like wait hold on what what's going on what is he what did he promise you and jerry and now i think the thing that that's trending now is aside from that story there's like a leaked voicemail where he's like acknowledging this uh agent and saying like thank you we don't know what for but jerry was trying to pull that like mariah carey i don't know her type shit um so you know not to say like this isn't how sports deals are done because i think in every sport we know there's obviously an element of backroom shit that has that occurs that allows

things to move you know or move quote unquote smoothly but this is like this has the potential to completely fuck over the clippers for the next decade like if they're talking about like oh well we're gonna we're gonna nullify his deal with the clippers uh we're taking draft picks from y'all and good luck with paul george i don't know what i don't know what i don't know what happens so i'm just you know i'm here i'm just trying to play it it's cool i don't want to dance on any graves or anything like that i'm just i'm just watching it unfold and it could be a mess it might not be either way i'm fine because on paper the lakers are will be all right yeah man the kawaii signing like that that seemed

like the peak they had signed the best player in the nba or one of the best players the guy who had just taken the raptors to the title after years of the Raptors being, you know, it's out in the second round, usually at best. Um, and it's just gone so sideways for them ever since the,

the season started basically. Yeah. Um, so, so I don't know. I don't know. It's, but again, I, part of me as a laker fan and you know

born in it angeleno from from a day one laker fan i love this shit because you know fuck the clippers because it's lakers all day but there's just something about like how there's like this mythological greek tragedy dimension to it of this pursuit of comparative greatness to the other team in town that has caused all of this recklessness that could possibly be their destruction. He is, for non-sports fans, he looks like an evil Texas Baptist minister. Yeah, or like a senator. Or a a Senator evil Senator, but he played for the Lakers. He was so good. He is the logo. He's the, his silhouette is the crossover that you see in the NBA logo. He, uh, is one of the only people to ever win finals MVP while losing. Like he,

he was on the losing team, but he was so good that they gave him the finals MVP, and he did win a title with the Lakers. Just a great scorer. And then when he, like his post-playing days, he was a great GM, but yeah, he's had a tough time. He was the dude who pulled off the trade to get Kobe Bryant for Vlade Divac, which at the time, people were like, what are you doing?

Vladi's got another couple good years. This kid just came out of high school? Uh-huh. Whoops. Also, yeah, we're a shit show, huh, Jerry West? Yeah. Yeah. The leaked

audio is him saying, I can't believe he would go join that shit show. That shit show? And then, yeah, he's from West Virginia. A little twang in there. All right. So this next one is not exactly trending as much as it is something that has been trending

that I had completely, not completely wrong, but I was unaware of the fact that... So the Jake Paul is... We paul is racist yes we're racist all white youtubers look the same and i apologize to all white youtubers but uh so the dude who fought nate robinson is jake paul uh the dude who is signed up to fight floyd mayweather is logan paul his brother who looks exactly like him they right i don't know if their parent trapping this i don't know if floyd mayweather knew that but the dude he's fighting is he he's one and one i think he fought k okay, he's a YouTuber. Oh, he's a YouTuber. Okay. Yeah, KSI. So he fought the YouTuber KSI and got beat one time, won one time, notably not a boxer, KSI.

And he's now fighting Floyd Mayweather, who's the greatest boxer of all time. He's not even the dude who beat. I like great. Nate Robbins. Yeah, so here's the thing. Yeah, I don't know. Hmm. I don't know. They're all the same to me. They're all the same.

They have no business doing this and whatever this is. My predictions about these two will stand because we do a predictions episode and i talk specifically about this amorphous duo that i believe is just one entity and what their place will be in culture coming in 2021 but yeah i mean when you see that right is then he's just gonna go in there and just get knocked the fuck out or just or do the thing where he's just gonna be like oh oh i'm sorry i'm gonna have to call the fight. Like he hit me too hard. Like, or is he really going to get in there

and try and go toe to toe with Floyd Mayweather and just fuck around and find out? I would love to see that. It doesn't feel like knowing that if the shittier of the two is like, then you're like, that's a joke. This is not a real, I mean, none of it is a real fight

because they're not boxers, but like. Like does Jake Paul think he's too good to fight Floyd Mayweather? Also, does Floyd Mayweather know who he's fighting? That's what I'm saying. I think they parent-trapped Floyd Mayweather. They just

tricked him into thinking that he was the same dude who fought Nate Robinson. I don't know why anyone would fight Logan Paul or whichever the fuck it is that Mayweather's fighting and then

Jake is still trying to fight Conor McGregor but the women's UFC champion is out here being like yo fight me man I would love to fight you that would be I would love to fight you yeah uh that would be i would love to see that yeah just get tuned up by uh i mean that's the whole thing i i will tune

into these if it's about a cocky dude just getting the smack put down on him that's i love that that's half that's what half of the reality shows that do well are. It's about overconfident people getting torn down. That's why Gordon Ramsay's so popular, Bar Rescue. There's a genre of entertainment, which is overconfident asshole gets a reality check. And give me fights like that. I'll give DAZN or whatever the fuck these new streaming networks are. I'll give you a little bit of cash sure uh let's go out on uh listening to jim jones talk about he he was asked about the the paul boys um yeah i mean look recent episode of the button podcast so for those that don't know jim jones the capo of dip set okay uh og new york York figure and rap,

and I think people know Jim Jones. He's been on Love and Hip Hop. You know him, you love him, you hate him, whatever, but he's out here, and he's Jim Jones. He was on the Joe Budden podcast. They were talking all this stuff because first the conversation was about a versus between Dipset and G-Unit

and who had more hits. And Jim Jones has a good point that it's like, look, if you take 50 Cent out, then what is it really? It's Dipset versus 50 because there aren't that many hits from the Lloyd Banks and Tony Yayos of the world. Although I guess if you want to mix in the game, depending on when you define G-Unit. But that's a whole other podcast to talk about hip hop. In this instance, though, he goes out with joe budden basically being like because hip-hop has been talking about jake paul i mean like what the this guy's really fighting nate robinson it's a meme he thinks he can go toe-to-toe with these other people and joe budden just asked

rapper jim jones what he feels uh what his take is on all this. What are the rappers going to do now that Jake Paul is on the loose, man? We're going to jump that nigga. I know Jake Paul. I ain't going to box him. He's going to get that shit in the ring because these niggas are going to scrape him up. You heard me. He goes on to be like, I'm going to beat him up in front of his grandma and even joe was like oh

he's like all right man we were just messing around and he's like no it's he's like no i'm not i'm not one of these people don't fuck with me he's like okay we get it yes uh and we'll see if if that line is crossed But yes, it's always nice to hear from old surly rappers who are not liking this young breed of confident YouTube people. It's always a great thing. All right, guys, that is going to do it for this week. We are back on Monday with a whole ass episode, the last full episode of the year

before we get into a bunch of year-end stuff, year-end stuff, year-end thoughts, holiday episodes. So tune in for that. Until then, be kind to each other. Be kind to yourselves. Wear a mask. Wash your hands.

Don't do nothing about white supremacy. No. We'll talk to you all on Monday. Bye. Happy holidays. Happy holidays. Kay hasn't heard from her sister in seven years. I have a proposal for you. Come up here and document my project.
