We have merch page. If you would like a hoodie, those hoodies. are comfortable as hell. We both had a couple different versions of those hoodies. They got the sand colored one up. Very comfortable. They got the Jenkins and Jones explicit podcast shirt and sweat shirt. And there's a t-shirt with all three of our faces on it if you want to be a real weird. I'm going to be honest with you. If I see you wearing the t-shirt, I will turn around and walk the other direction. I do not need to see my face on a t-shirt. I'm running up to hugging that person, but I could

never put it on my own body. Also the explicit joint, not mine anymore. Rather took it. She looked way better in it. It's over with. I'll never see this game. Robh those whooping your ass again. Dog, bro. She dropped, hey, bro, this what's crazy is the denim joint she put on on Instagram? I haven't worn that in like six months. I just gave it to her. I'm like here. I never looked that good in that motherfucker, man. I just, you know, I'll come to peace with it. I just come to peace with it, you know? It is what it is.

It's nothing you could do about it. Nothing I could do about it, bro. Charge it to the game. Charge it to the game, dog. And that's an Excel. That's my size, but it's her size. You feel I'm saying, really fucked up. As always, Jenkins and Jones hosted by the gentleman you just heard, Legethro Jenkins, aka John,

aka clothes donor to his wife. You feel me? What's that, Bubba? Help me out, baby. Buy some more of that shit so I can afford my own clothes, nigga. I got a bougham for me and my baby. Dragonfly Jones, aka Tyler. Hey, everybody,

how's it going? I'm Gardy B. A.k.a. Mike. We were talking, I'm not going to set this topic up, I'm going to throw up. Yes, you are. But we were, no, no, we're not. We were talking before the pod and John asked Tyler if there was an amount of money that would get him to alter his vocabulary in a way that I don't believe he would be capable of. So, John, go ahead. Ask your question.

So we started off. Mike used the word wigger. And I said it's unfortunate that it is new woke world that we as niggas lost wigger. We can't really use it like that no more. And so I said, you know, as long as they don't take nigger from us, they're going to have to pry that from my dead ass hands. And I asked Tyler, is there amount of money that people could pay you for you not to say nigger? If somebody said, I think Jackson said, if somebody pays you 100 of them Ms, bro,

could you not say nigger ever again in your entire life, even with your homies? The whole thing is I could absolutely make a conscious effort to not say it, I'm sure I would slip up. Like, am I being, are you paying me to be dedicated to never saying it again? Because I can, I would for sure do that for way less than $100 million. You know what I'm saying? No, no, no. You have, you can't say it ever again.

Well, yeah, there's no. It's so, like, what's an offer? If he, if he accidentally slips up and says it when he's like drunk or high hanging out with the homies, he has to pay a back? Or like you said, it's just you're paying him to like try hard for the rest of his life to not say. I think the thing is like, I think that the trying hard sucks. But like, there's a certain.

number. If you heard at like 30 years and you've already said it 70 times, bro, like, come on. You know what I'm saying? So to slip up, we can't have slipups because you know, you can, you can pimp the system, bro. You know what I mean? No slip ups, no nothing, 100 mils. Now, that's not. There's no way. There's no way I would never slip up. There's no way. You'd have to be sober for the rest of your life, even to have a shot at it. You'd have to not be happy for the rest of your life because you'd be happy as fucking say a nigger. Or you bump your head on the, counter, nigger. You got to call the counter a nigger, because it's acting like a nigger.

You know what I'm saying? You see a squirrel run across the road and stop in front of you? You ain't saying, you can't say niggottie? You know what I'm saying? Like, no. Gee Willickers. There's too many booby traps for it to say nigger out here, brother. You can't do it. It's impossible, bro. I wouldn't even try, man. I wouldn't even try. I would, I would for sure slip up. But, like, I would definitely, there is a price you could pay me to to make a conscious effort to never say it again. I can be bought on a lot of shit. I ain't going to lie to you, man.

I am for sale if the money is worth of the best. Let's get that abundantly clear. But it is for sale, you feel what I'm saying? All right, well, I don't have a transition out of that, but let's talk about baseball for a second. Baseball has a very strong history with that word. There is a segue there. Yeah, there are segues out there, but they are not available to me.

You know what I mean? So let's talk about Tyler is wearing a Yankees hat today. Going from nigger to nigger, we're going to talk about baseball. Aaron Judge on Wednesday morning signing a nine-year, $360 million contract with the New York Yankees had been choosing between them,

the Padres and the Giants. He is a Northern California native. So it had actually been erroneously reported. I don't know. Did you guys see the... Arson Judge, yes. The arson judge tweet on Tuesday, a guy who breaks a lot of baseball news said, hearing arson judge to San Francisco.

Then he deleted it. Retweeted Aaron Judge. Then he was like, oh, I'm sorry, that was not true. Like, just the worst. A comedy of errors laid out before our very eyes. Delete your account. Adam Schefter would never do that. Wows would never do that.

They might have their fucked up aspects to him, but they're not going to get the news wrong, to spell the dude's name wrong. Maybe one of the other, but not both. Arson, Judge. Well, shouts to one of the four baseball players that I know by name, happy but a homie. I actually knew about the whole story about him betting on himself this season

and having a whole historic season. I think the Yankees offered him like 230. I actually have this because I wanted to, that's actually what I wanted to talk about is how ludicrous this is. Someone offers you a seven-year contract for $214 million. And you as a plucky young all-star, say, no, I'm going to bet on myself because I don't want to lose out with $214 million

and then you win your bet on yourself. How much that you get black check again? He ran that bitch up to 390, right? 390 million? Nine for 360. So he threw an extra two years for $150 million on the contract. That's, yeah. Dropped his nuts.

Shouts to Aaron Judge, man. Aaron Judge. Aaron Judge is a cool baseball player. We haven't had a lot of cool baseball players. You know, he's fucking seven feet tall. 99 is a cool-ass fucking number. You know, he's a fucking power hitter. Aaron Judge, he might, I don't know baseball, but I know that, you know, as a casual

fan, I'm like, wow, that's a cool baseball player. Have you ever heard him talk? I have not. Is he got some patch of home shit going on? I don't know if he's cool. I've never heard him say anything. That adds to the mystique. I've heard him talk.

He's cool. I do think the folk hero aspect of. him literally being a giant is important, you know, because like, Mighty Casey ass nigger, you know what I mean? Well, and for the kids, you know. Mudville face ass, nigga. Right, like, like many has friends who watch baseball. It is like just a different level of shit with him where it's like everyone thinks he's

the Hulk or whatever because he looks like, if you just see him, I mean, there's always a photos that come out of him standing next to a Altube or whatever. Yeah, you know what I mean? You're just looking at him and you're like, this is, and baseball is a unique sport in that way. You know what I mean? You just never have a dude who's a foot and a half. half taller than someone guarding someone in football or whatever.

So yeah, but happy for him. And like Tyler said, very inspirational to bet on yourself with a $200 million offer on the table and have this shit pay off like that. That's fucking crazy, bro. I heard the Yankees was sweating. Like they had to get a last minute, you know, offering on the phone because he was about to sign with, I think the Padres was it. But yeah, man, good on the Yankees for not letting him get away because they would have never heard the end of that shit, man. The Yankees are not supposed to be the ones who whiff on. guys like that, especially a Yankee who wanted to resign.

What would y'all do with that amount of money? 360. I mean, like, what is the thing that you're like, I'm really excited about this? I mean, I give you a bunch of cheesy answers that would be correct about no kid from Long Beach would ever have to pay for fucking college for quite some time for sure. But the number one thing I would do would be we've had a couple of houses in the neighborhood up for sale lately. and if I had just fuck you money

I'd still want to be in the same neighborhood in Long Beach I wouldn't want to move to like a super rich neighborhood or whatever I'd just whatever I'm comfortable but I'd buy a house for my mom to stay at when she comes down here so she just like she just would have a spot you know what I mean and it was close by we could drop the kids off whenever that that would be number

one on my list for sure I think I'm building a compound on the beach for my whole fucking family everybody even the crazy ass uncles. You heard me. You heard me, Robert. Everybody, dog. We turn in LA to St. Louis.

You feel what I'm saying? Real quick. You dig a channel from the fucking from the Pacific coast to St. Louis. So it was like, you just let enough in to get one beach in St. Louis. Sorry, Montana. We're chattling you out, bro.

Right. Jabari, huh? You know what I'm saying? Demetris, come on through. You know what I mean? I'm Harry and Tubman. You know what I mean? St. Louis niggas. We're bringing everybody in L.A. Fuck me.

We flood this bitch. I'm turning L.A. to St. Louis for real. What about you, Tyler? I, for sure, you know, make sure my people straight. You know, I'd make sure my family and my close circle of friends never had another fucking worry in their life. I would get, I think, of course, getting a crazy-ass crib is the fucking goal

when you get some money like that getting to some ridiculous shit. You know what I'm saying? like on the coast or on a fucking mountain cliff like you know overlooking the beach or some shit so yeah getting a ridiculous house I'm making sure my folks are taking care of that will be the goal there I think that makes sense

hell yeah I also want like a jetpack or some shit too some really dumb shit like Tyler don't do that no put don't be the man that the rich nigga that no no listen if you have a nine figure bank account you have to buy some ludicrously expensive technology

slash gadgets and refer to them as toys. That's part of the fucking thing. You have to be like, I got a couple of toys, referring to like $500,000 cars. That's like mandatory. You have to do that too, John, whether you wanted to or not.

They'd take the money away. What's that dude that was riding out that he invented that machine that you kind of, you know what I'm talking about. Just say it. And he invented some machine like his little scooter shit

that you ride. And he wrote it off to put that. Dude, yeah. Segway, nigga, bro. That's why I, uh-uh. Give me some, I can take a nice, something with some, with four wheels, keep my feet on the ground. You know what I mean?

It'll be nice, bro. But damn, bro. I ain't trying to get a rocket pack, nigga. I for sure want to do. You risk it all, bro. No, I would only, like, fly that shit, like, over the water in case some, some shit happens where I just crash out. Like, I would still not die. But I would want a rocket pack, dog.

You're saying, ain't a lot to you. We need a rocket pack around these parts. baby. If we got rocket pack money, we need a rocket pack. Hell no. Did y'all see the Rocketeer when you were kids? Hell yeah, watch it 78 times. That's one of them white movies that made it through.

That's one of them movies. Ain't it? You know what I mean? Like, bro, we had, I dubbed that off a pay-per-view. We recorded it. You know what I'm saying? Watch it 100 times. The Booleg Birdie. You're being. That was a good-ass movie. I might tap in. Rocketeer is one of those rare movies that

appealed to white people, black people, and Wiggers. You know what I mean? Wiggers. Yeah. Can we bring Wigger back, dog? Really? Really, man.

It was love. We said it out of love. You know what I'm saying? I said it out of love. You feel me? All right. Let's talk about actually,

I'm going to rearrange this. We can't talk about a serious. We need one goofy topic and then we'll get back to a series talk. Let's talk about Tuesday night inside the NBA, which, by the way, I'm still not used to the Tuesday night inside the NBA. It's still in my heart imprinted that the shit should be on Thursdays.

But let's talk about Kenny shoving Shaq into a tree and Shaq going into the Christmas tree with his fucking feet, his size to 45 shoes wiggling out the bottom of the tree. Looking like the wicked witch of the West, you feel me? Them little tough, the big ass feet, just a kicking. Damn. I just feel like everyone needs to Whether you're recording it, you're watching it live

Watch the next episode of Inside the NBA And just appreciate Just take a moment and appreciate that that show is still on the air And we still get to enjoy it I think it's the best sports TV show ever By fucking far in my opinion It's incredible that it's still on the air And it's just one of those moments

You just like take the mental picture Because at some point is going to go off the air and we will be talking about it for the rest of our lives. You know what I mean? The next time a show is decent, we'll be going, well, it's not inside the NBA. You know what I mean? So you've got to just take a minute and fucking appreciate that shit. That's my homework for everyone listening to the show.

Never seen anything quite like it. The camaraderie is what makes it special. All those guys on that stage are truly friends. Like there's nowhere else where you can have Shaq going just, well, who will just stop his commentary. mid sentence just to tell Chuck that he'll beat his ass if he like interrupts him can't. You know what I'm saying? And be low-key serious but not serious just like how your homies be, you know what I mean? And Chuck, I wanted to beat your ass, but I let you slide that time anyway back to Rudy Bofair.

Like that half, that's a daily occurrence, that's a weekly occurrence on that show. We will never have anything quite like it. So I enjoy it very much. Very much. Jack came into the league averaging like 24 and 12 as a rookie. That's the nigger. that got pushed into a fucking tree. One of the most dominant basketball players, athletes of all time,

gets thrown into a tree, comes out laughing and says, that means war. Like it's fucking loony tuts. It is a perfect fucking show. And I'm so tapped in for the next three weeks to see what he does to Kenny between now and Christmas, bro. Hey, because shit, hey, sweet. Kenny knocked me that.

He's going to get it. He going to get his. Shack, if anybody going to get that issue, it's Shaquille O'Neal. You feel what I'm saying? Bro, dog. It's a perfect fucking show. It's a perfect show, bro.

But you mentioned, obviously, he's like one of the most dominant athletes we've ever seen in any sport in our lifetimes. And what really makes the show before he was on it, but what really makes that show with him to me is that he is so willing to be the dude who gets pushed into the tree.

Trill tweeted, he was absolutely right. He said, nobody sells that shit like Shaq. I don't know that there's a, like, we don't have very. vaudeville comedians anymore. I don't know that anyone sells physical comedy better than Shaq. Slapstick comedy.

A seven-footer falling into a tree. Bro, he got pushed by. Kenny is like, bro, what? 6-2? I mean, he's a big dude. His weight guy. But Shaq probably saw himself

falling into the tree and smiled. If that was different angles, he was probably like, oh yeah, this is my shit. I get to fall into this big-ass tree. You know what I mean? Like, this is why I signed the 10-year contract. You feel me?

For these moments. Bro, it's just a special, it's a special, it's a special, special show. Even the crazy shit when they be talking about, like, dude, Chuck be talking about folks and ain't watched the, like, they be halfway watching the game. I know Chuck be asleep doing part of that shit before he go, come on air. You know, taking a nap. You know what I mean? Did you see him last night when he said, hey, man, we need to talk about this guy in Boston,

Jason Taylor. Did you see that? Jason Taylor? Jason Taylor. Jason Tatum. One of the top five best players in the league this year. He messed up his name. But I can't cap, bro.

I remember that one time I forgot Jaya Man's name. Yeah. Tom is like, who Jah? Jah? You forgot Jah Moran's name? Yeah, you watch your boy in Jiam Morant. That's true. I rushed your boy Jiam Morant, bro.

So I can't, I ain't too far, bro. That maybe that's charging to his age, you feel me? But yeah. All right. Let's wrap up talking about this, the Dion Sanders news, because I think when we recorded, I think we all three of us said, the only person I'm interested in hearing talk about this is Beaumani. Bomani went on CNN.

I love Bumani on CNN. I'll say that too. I love Bo on CNN. Special Bo. But anytime Beau does a regular media appearance like that, it's such a good thing for sports fans. You know what I mean? He makes us look so good.

He makes us look not like the stupidest pack of idiots in America whenever he makes an appearance to talk about sports. They don't know that the drop off, though, is like 75 stories, though. You know what I mean? But it's like how when Obama was like touring Europe and we were like, oh, I could live with Europeans thinking we're like this. That's not really what we're like, but that's fine with me. He's the only Obama.

And Bo is the only bow on the fucking. planning it, bro. Fact. So, Tyler, you, uh, I feel like you and Bo might have colluded. You know, you really, you were, you were, you were right in step with him even before he came out. What did you think of his appearance on CNN and what he's had to say about this story? Yeah, you know, of course, Bo sees the whole picture at all times and eloquently states shit that I might have crudely stated. But I feel like we're on the same page.

Like, you know, the same shit, you know, I'm on the same shit with Bo where, yeah, no one's mad at him for, you know, taking the move to Colorado. That's what's best for him. That's what's best for his career progression at the moment. That's what's best for his bank account and his family's well-being. Of course, you know, no one's upset at that. College coaches lie. But what was unique about Bose, well, what was unique about Deon is he lied to us in a way we had never quite seen before.

He lied to us in a way where he lied about black people shit to the black masses. We had not seen college coaches do that before. College coaches come and they talk about reviving, you know, the fan base of the other team they're taking over, how they're going to, you know, bring the program back to prominence. Everyone's laughing at us and we're not going to. to be laughed at anymore. Deion said he was in this shit for black people, bro. You know what I mean? We didn't put that on Deion. Deion put that on himself. He had known himself the HBCU Savior.

He said, God sent him there, and then God told him that it was time to go to Colorado. So, yeah, you know, like I said, you know, Bo was kind of, you know, we were on the same page there where, of course, college coaches lie, but this was a very unique lie that we had never seen before. And also, like we talked about in the group chat, I was saying that he hit us with the sweat of God. You know what I'm saying? Sweat for God. And they got sweat for God. You feel me that I'm going to be. Like, I'm a bit. I'm a lot. I'm a I'm gonna be around, you feel me? Like, that's, he lied to us in a way that black people lie.

Like, you will get away with a lie if you are lying-ass nigga, if you say swear to God, because we'll still, even, even me as a guy that hasn't been to church in fucking eight years, you feel me? You say you swear to God, even if I know you a liar, I'll be like, hmm, he might. Bro, I halfway don't even believe that God exists, and if I swear to God, I'm not lying to you.

You know what I'm saying? Flat out, bro. Flat out, bro. I'm like, you know, I believe there's a higher power, but I don't know what it is. I just say it. And if you say that that's some bullshit, I'd be like, yeah, probably some bullshit.

You know, that's why I'm at my belief system. But at the same time, if you say swear to God or I say, I swear for God, my nigga, if I say that shit, I mean that. I am not lying. And he lied in that way. You feel me? So that's what makes it, you know, like we said, dastardly. Diabolical.

Was that he lied about black people's shit in a way that your group, like Tyler, you said this. A grandmother will, that man going to be here. Well, you know what I'm saying? If you say God told me to be, you know what I mean? That's what makes it feel a particular way. But like we said, we all understand the mood. And he did mention in certain articles, I mean, certain interviews.

But the way he got into our hearts was by, you know what I'm saying, doing some shady ass shit. Dion making us believe for a second he wasn't Dion and something wasn't about him. It was about somebody else. You feel what I'm saying? Yeah. I think in summation, you can probably boil it down. this, Jackson State cut him a deal that you cut family, where you let them skip to the front

of the line, no collegiate experience, you give this guy the full, full reign over your program, right? That is a deal that you cut family. And then the first opportunity for Deanna to show them that it was business, he showed them it was business. So I think that's what a lot of people are sour on. I think that's what it really comes down to. Like, he didn't even like, you know what saying, as soon like Colorado? Like, you know what I mean? That's a totally, that's not like the, a great opportunity in a sense. You know what I'm saying? Like nobody's excited about a Colorado job unless you're coming from, you know, you know, the situation he was in as far as money. You know what I mean? Like, that's not like, oh, nobody's going to rush. You went from 300 K to, was it 300 K to 5 mil? To 5Ms, exactly.

But like the job itself, what you're asked to do is a difficult gig. You know what I mean? Like a lot of coaches. You're saying if you're an established, like if you've been taking a team to the, to the college playoffs, no one's looking at Colorado as a lateral move. I'm running to that. You feel what I'm saying? And he ran. for that he ran immediately you know what I'm saying like so and and something people are pointing out is you know

Shadour his son's whole body language doing that yeah he did not seem happy yeah so like I don't know I don't know I don't know how he feels about this I don't know if he's just you know the moody's slunky teenager who just didn't want to do the glitz and glamour stuff post game shit

but if Jackson State was there to his heart if Jackson State was his type of get down if he loved his time at Jackson State that's going to be an adjustment going to Boulder, bro. Like two completely different worlds. Y'all know I'm an HBCU alum. I cannot imagine leaving my HBCU for Boulder and being happy, bro. Not at all.

I moved from Alabama to Colorado. I was spending most of my time at Alabama A&M where my mom worked, you feel me, kicking it with my niggas at Alabama A&M, you feel me? And went to Boulder immediately because that's what she was working. For a little bit, and then she moved to Brum. Field. I got a, I knew I was going to be there after like a month and a half. Brough. I'm like, this ain't for your boy. Jackson, Mississippi to fucking Boulder. Nigger. Ain't no way. If he enjoyed that experience, you get zero percent of what you saw

in Jackson, Mississippi. Zero. There is nothing similar, bro. So I just, I, I, I would, come on, man. I mean, like, and also, like, I get it, you know, like going to like a big D1 school. if you were like, say like a great program, like this thing with Colorado, it's not a good program. You know what I'm saying? It's not a good program. But like if you go to a good program, your D1 school, you know what I'm saying,

and you, are you a quarterback and you that nigger? Oh, that's dope, right? But being that nigger at an HBC, you feel different. Being that nigger around niggers feels way different. It's a totally different vibe. So yeah, it'll be cool if we go, if he get a chance to go to the league, all that shit, you know,

and this will give them that opportunity, playing against different talent, you feel me? And I understand that from a business side. But from a vibe side, from a cultural experience side, like you said, it's totally different being that nigger around your niggas. And so, like, it's, I understand that that body language

was, he was not super excited from going to, from Jackson, the Boulder. Maybe, maybe Miami or whatever, if it was a big time program. But Boulder, in particular, that's the widest place I, ever been in my entire fucking life. I haven't been to Utah,

so maybe that's why. You know what I mean? That is the widest place. But I've been to Indianapolis. You know what I'm saying? A couple times, bro. Boulder is the literally widest place I've ever been in my life. Wider than Denver. And Denver, you know what I'm saying? It's just a...

It's different, bro. Yeah, and the thing is you doer was a stud, bro. He had LSU offers, Georgia offers, Bama offers. Like, if he wanted to go D1, you know, Power 5. He could have went somewhere way better. D1, capital D1. Right?

He could have been like in the Hizman race that one, you know, at an elite school type shit if that's, if the Power 5 move was the move that he knew that they were going to make. But who knows? Maybe, like I said, I'm not reading too much into the body language. Maybe he was just being a little slunky teenager that they always are. But I don't know. I think that's part of it. I do think his dad told him you were working at the family business here, right?

I mean, like, you know, he set his dad and the rest of his family up with his job. because $5 million a year for an elite player and a coach is a bargain. You know what I mean? I mean, we have kids in high school and make a $5 million a year off NIL shit. You know what I mean? So I don't know if it was Shadur. I know he's got his other son plays for him as well. But y'all saw the video I showed you of the locker room tour or whatever.

Did you see that? Like that to me was the summation of what I talked about on the last pod about the sort of self-servingness of like youth sports culture that I think it's the same thing with coaches and like I talked about I've seen it high school college whatever of like kids all understand a coach says like oh I have to take this opportunity even if it means I lied to you directly to your face for three straight years kids I will be asking kids off the record questions just between you know someone who's known him for a long time and me and they would genuinely be like I understand he has to do what's right for his family like that's so ingrained

in sports culture at this point that that video was everything I was talking about where he's walking his son around the locker room and Dion's looking around like who Jesus, like look at how good the locker room looks and he looks at his son and he says, look at him and he looks at his son's like oh fuck like this is this locker room is nice as fuck

and Dion just rubbed the back of his head and he hasn't had anything like this. Like that's used sports culture right now. Above and beyond any other consideration about cultural identity or family even you have Polynesian kids leaving their families that have no one's left

the state away from their family for generations it's like I got to go to Oregon to earn money for my family you know what I mean like that's the the culture and so that to me I think Tyler you and Beaumani the point about the unique kind of lying and whether you kind of damn yourself

culturally you know you kind of you do more damage to yourself by lying in that specific way when you didn't need to do it but to me it's just that's what for better or worse, that's what sports culture is right now. And that's Aaron Judge took $10 million less, I think, from the Yankees than he could have from the Padres. And people can't believe that.

You know, he took $390 million to play in New York and be a Yankees legend for the rest of his life. And sports culture is still like he could have had $370. I can't believe this. So for better or worse, like I just, I don't know. It seems like this to me, though, is sort of the sports story of 2022 because it does represent so many different facets of sports culture right now. It's been interesting to watch the dialogue unravel and play out for sure.

That's interesting that New York up their offer but didn't, like, I know this man wants to be, I know New York is a better city. I'm offered this man 10 million less. And Tyler was talking about how they were kind of scrambling to kind of get that deal done. Why not give them this offering them the same deal? You know what I mean? like that that's kind of that's kind of a nut drag like san diego trash as fuck he don't want to be there we're gonna drop there give him 10 million less you feel me and i know he'll stay san diegnege

not a bad place to live either my no it's not it's not but it's also not new york it's not being a billionaire in new york i mean there's there's probably there's like three cities that i think are like a city in the states that are incredible globally maybe four you know i mean san diego isn't one of them but new york is you know what i'm saying so For sure, for sure.

Well, Jesus ain't tell me that, nigger. Why ain't tell you and not me? But what's wild to me is, I think you got to have a certain amount of arrogance to say, God told me this. Like, nigga, come on, bro. God told you, you heard God tell you not to pay this man this? Let me, come on, bro. I was in the church a lot.

I felt particular things. I was never confident enough to say, well, God told me. You know what I'm saying? I feel like I felt some. I wasn't all the way. Like, God told me. That's wild. Ain't no way, bro.

God got to tell me, too. And you got to open up the clouds and speak from space for me to believe that you ain't got to pay me my $30. I need God to tell me. You don't want me that $1,000. Even if it's 30. Yeah, so basically, you know, Dion said God sent him to Jackson State. Then God sent him to Colorado.

And Bobotti pulled up a story on Dion using the same God told me defense. You brought this up on the pod on Monday, yeah. I brought that up. I brought it up. But I mixed the dollars up, the money up. I thought it was 25. It was 5K. Okay, gotcha, gotcha.

Yeah. Jesus had him. The owner of the repair. shop said Sanders wanted to pay only 1,500 of the $4,265 bill saying that Jesus had informed him that was all he needed to pay. It's the praise Jesus

discount attorney Edson told the Dallas warning hoops. Edson said he has been trying to collect the bill from Sanders since 2001 on behalf of Phil Compton, the owner of the car repair business. Through court findings, the players says that the accusations are in true. Sanders was in the court

Monday but did not testify. Sanders body parts and house. Hold on. Hold on. Let me pause you. This man was scamming a car repair man named, was it Hal Compton, Phil Compton at a $2,500. And someone's trying to tell me they were surprised he was lying to black people about his priorities. This is why I told you all, man. I can never forget that he did that shit. And I think there was, I think a dude said, well, yeah, go ahead, go ahead. Tyler. When Sanders drove up, he refused to pay the invoice amount. Instead, handing Compton a $1,500 check and saying, praise Jesus, I followed that. I follow what in my heart I'm told to pay.

But also, what he did was too, not to, he like got his bodyguards to block the car in. The wife took the keys, but made sure the car started up first. There was a bunch of shady shit going on before, you know what I'm saying? He even got that $1,500 off. Like, bro, Dion a particular type of dude, bro. You feel me? Yeah. Yeah, see, I mean, and that's the whole thing. I think everyone expected Deion to pull a Dion,

but Deion told us he wasn't going to pull a Dion. And it's like, bro, you didn't have to tell us you weren't going to pull a Dion when we all knew you were going to pull a Dion. But Dion is the one that told you he wasn't going to pull a Dion. You feel me? That's the whole time. Bro, you didn't have to, though. I know.

We knew you were going to pull him. But Dion had to fully sell himself. And as a good sellman, because similarly. line that needed to be told. Because similarly, he could have just rolled up and took his car back from bro, right? But he chose to tell him, Jesus told me to give you $1,500. And that's the difference between a dude like Dion and Dion.

That's the difference. That's high stepping at the 35-yard line, bro. Right, right. I never, I mean, no, and Tyler, you said, I, I was flabbergasted by the God told me not to pay you back. Look, some stereotypes are based on the truth. And Italian people do not fucking play about getting their fucking money back, bro. I told y'all, there's not one member of my family who wouldn't have beat my ass if I'd have borrowed $200 from them and said,

Jesus told me I don't have to pay you back. I mean, niggas don't play about getting their money back either. Like, oh boy, took his ass to court. Don't nobody play about their money. Fuck you mean. Shit. Oh, Lord. All right.

There's good news in America for the second election in a row. This is, I felt this was like some real, we might have to pack it up and fucking just change the name of the country if we had elected Herschel Walker to the United States Senate. Jesus Christ. Still closer than one would have wanted it to be in a sane world, but it was over on Tuesday night,

which I take is a great. thing that we didn't have to have this shit dragged out. Tyler, you tweeted, I think you and Foss were tweeting like, Herschel Walker is about to find out that the people around him do not give a fuck about that man, bro. This got to be the most embarrassing shit for racist white people in the South. The most embarrassing group of people in global history. This is a fucking new low that they really tried this shit with Herschel Walker, bro. Listen, I know racists are shameless. They're a shameless bunch.

You cannot tell me that there weren't sometimes even the racists were like, what the fuck are we doing with this guy? Like the gibberish that this motherfucker would say. Like the cognitive has given him like the cognitive ability of like a three-year-old bro. Like he legit is not coherent. And it ain't no, no, you're making fun of a black man's accent. No, I'm making fun of what the fuck the black man says because none of the shit fucking makes sense. This motherfucker talk about you can call me Kuna.

Kuna is the smartest animal. Everybody know that. I imagine even white people looked at him like That's a touch too far brother in Georgia We don't even use Cooney anymore around these parts Bro that was particularly weird bro That is crazy crazy But I mean that's that's the point they're it

You know what I mean? And that's good for us as people that you know are decently intelligent that they have to rely on this motherfucker to win, you know, or stooping to the point where they're relying on him. It's crazy. I mean, they won with one dumb motherfucker

already in Donald Trump. So, I mean... So the, the, in politics, the prevailing opinion is, like, if you're a Democrat, you want the most extreme Republican to win the primary. Because America is, whether you like it or not,

whether you think it's immoral or not, It's a centrist group of people who by and large are fairly well off compared to people in other countries that don't like change. That's basically the political identity of the country, right? It's a center right or center left country. And so Republicans are rooting for the most extreme left-wing people to win Democratic nominations. And Democrats are rooting for the most extreme right. The problem is, occasionally you elect Donald Trump. Right?

That happened. But since then, at the mid-term. terms after Donald Trump was elected at the next presidential election and at the midterms after that it's been Republicans trying to run crazy people and the moderate Democrat kicking the shit out of it out of the crazy Republican like in California when they were trying to recall Gavin Newsom I knew plenty of people who were on some fuck Gavin Newsom shit for his kids being in private school when everyone in public school's kids were at home but the Republicans ran Larry Elder no one's voting for fucking Larry Elder

bro. Like if they don't ran Mitt Romney, you might have actually had an election in California. If you ran a boring white Republican, the boring white Republican of our youth but they don't have any of those do's yeah, but they don't have any of those dudes left anymore because they're trying to literally hang

them on the steps of the Capitol bro. This shit is fucking crazy. I'm not going to lie. These midterm results took me by surprise. I did not think that there was going to be this strong of a showing for for the Democratic Party. We saw that that Biden had the best midterm showing in the House since George W. Bush's first term,

since the nation was galvanizing against terrorism and standing firm on that. And we just saw last night with the Warnock election that Biden had the best Senate midterm showing since FDR's first term. When the nation was united against the Great Depression, when the nation was like, we trust this guy to get us out of poverty. poverty. So if you're the GOP, if you're the Republican Party and you are looking at at these precedents that are being set, 9-11 and the Great Depression, and you are seeing that voters are mobilizing against you with the urgency of those two scourges of terrorism and the worst poverty crisis that this nation has ever had. And voters are viewing you do that same lens. That has got to be scary as fuck. And I'm very much going to enjoy watching Republican sweat. I hope Trump runs. I hope that he doesn't win the primary. And I hope he's goes independent and sinks that ship even more. I'm room for fucking chaos here. And if I could piggyback on what you just said, George W. Bush's approval rating

in 2001 was like 94% after 9-11. Joe Biden, this happened for Joe Biden with an approval rating at like 44%. It's not even like people are happy. People are broke as fun with inflation and they don't even like Joe Biden and they're still like, but fuck that other side with the shit

they're trying to pull right now. Biden is not a particularly inspiring president. People are not rallying behind them, they are rallying against the Republicans. So yeah. I know they're sweating over there. I hope I, you know, I genuinely, I really fucking hope so. And it's nice to get layup elections against crazy people.

But the country needs them to stop trying to run fascists and insane people. But run some regular, boring, Republican, misogynist, racist, fucking dudes who know out a button a dress shirt at least like you know what I mean but get back to Mitt Romney you know I mean back to Mitt Romney bro but but Obama's been talking about this for like 15 years like you know the fever's gonna break like you waiting on the fever to break and like I like I said these elections it's the first time America has proven me wrong in my lifetime from having low expectation I think really that it was like no no way this ever going to actually happen and it actually happens so fuck it all right uh can we all right uh can we all

all agree, resolved? Can we all agree that Popeye is the most underrated cartoon character after this video that Tyler tweeted on Wednesday. This is the craziest shit I ever seen. That motherfucker was knitting a goddamn anchor chain like, bro. He knitted it out of like a steel beam and then he put it on the ship and then he punched the rest of it into the shape of an anchor. I've never seen anything like that. That shit came out a hundred years ago or whatever. Truly built different. Do y'all remember that cartoon strip of who's the hamburger motherfucker? Blimpy, is that his name?

When Blimpy, when Blimpy rescued Sweetpee, you know, Poppah's baby out of the river when Sweetie was about to drown and gave him back to Popeye and said something like, and that'll be five bucks. Popeye threw Sweet Pete back in the river and just looked at him. Did y'all even see that? I don't remember that. I'm going to drop it in a group chat.

That's like my favorite comic strip ever. I used to be hot at Blendy, though. He seems so disrespectful. You know what I mean? But I gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today. Dionne Sanders ass motherfucker. You know, selling those lies. Selling those hamburger lies, bro.

Oh, fuck. All right. I told you all I checked in on this. I'm not quite done with the book yet, but I'm almost done with it. I'm finishing it tonight. This fire and blood shit. that the house of dragon God damn bro

this book that the house of dragon shit is based on I'm not gonna give y'all one single plot point one iota not a but I say this number one I think you should read it instead of having the shit spoiled for you by some fucking dude on YouTube you know what I mean because I know you're Tyler we talked about it I know you're not waiting until 2024 bro

I have unfortunately stumbled upon a major development stumbled upon that you actually Googled Yeah I did not expect

I did not expect for it to go that route But I tripped up in Google Come on man I'm gonna I am gonna end up reading all the other books

Because this shit's been so good But I would just say like Sharr asked me She's like So how crazy does it get And I was like There's two scenes in there That I think are crazier

Than the Red Wedding Shut the fuck up To where I was literally like, I don't know if they could put this shit on television. Like, I really don't know if they could put it to this extent on television. Sheesh. Yeah, I'm about to cop down. Because there ain't a way to end up Christmas break to 2024. Yeah.

I'm about to read that during Christmas break for sure, bro. All right. John, let's talk about your unmoistrized earlobes. Come on, man. Okay, I'm going to start it off with this. First of all, we was talking about Tyler having. seven braids, like for like five years and how, like, his mom wouldn't let him get braids until he left high school, right?

You know, until he was out the house, you know what I mean? And how he got braids and she loved him. I was like, my mom wouldn't let me get my ears pierced so I loved the house. And I got my ears pierced and I'd be home about to go out on a date, you know what I'm saying, for Christmas break. And she'd be like, where your earrings at? Put your earrings on. You feel what I'm saying?

Like, but I was telling time, I was like, bro, like, yes, you know, parents just be saying shit when you young, ended up liking it. And when you get older, I get tattooed. I got neck tattoos. She hated tattoos and I'm younger. She loved these neck tattoos. She think they're meaningful.

They're beautiful. You know what I mean? She gets the art of them. But when I was leaving, she said about those earrings was true. A nigga looked ashy as fuck without my earrings on, though.

I tried to grow my hair out before, like, you know what I'm saying? Like, my face looked dirty as hell for some reason. With my hair long, my home girls are trying to twist my shit up. You feel me?

Like, they gave me the little puff shit doing like in middle school too. and it just didn't look good on the niggins. So I was a shortcut-ass-niggin. But yeah, I'm just an ashy dick. It's not the earlo's being ashy. My face, I just look ashy, bro. I remember Asian one time.

I didn't have my earrings on one day. He was like, bro, you look different. I don't have my earrings on. I just look totally different. This is in college. I just looked totally different. So I don't know why, bro. I'm an ashy-ass-nigigua.

I look unmoisturized without my earrings for some part. So it's just a part of me, bro. I put in my contacts, my earrings on, I don't leave the house without it. A hat, you know what I mean? It's just who I am, you know what I mean? It's a part, I'm basically bathing hats, you know what I'm saying? I'm a hat nigger. I remember my, my mother-in-law is going to leave the house without a hat on.

And I was like, oh, shit, I've got my hat. She's like, you look good without a hat. I'm like, this the rules, though. I'm a hat guy, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, right, right, right. These are rules I live by. You got to have a hat on, you leave the house. You feel me?

But yeah, you know, certain things. I can't leave the house without him. Here he's one of them. Nigger looking assy out here without him. I also wanted to talk about, this is the last thing I wanted to talk about. This is like my favorite thing that happens on Instagram sometimes, which is when John will record an IG story

where he's trying to make a point. But I could tell that he's doing it while Somi is taking a nap in the other room because he'll be arguing passionately as fuck like John does, but with a whisper. Whisper, yeah. The whisper, yeah. You'll be out there like, they can't do LeBron James like this.

They need to make the trampolini's niggis did this to LeBron James. And you said every time, so many sleep, is she? Isn't that obvious? I think we need a sports network. We need a sports network for people with sleeping kids for people with sleeping kids. You know what I mean?

Because there's probably some people who, you know, like I listen to the podcast, but my baby's asleep. So we need the whisper ESPN from John. The whisper app. All right. I do that all the time. That's all the time we got.

We will be back on Monday. Hope everyone has a great rest of their week and weekend. And we will see y'all soon. Bye. Bye.
