Starting point is 00:04:26 Gambling problem, call 1-800 next step. Welcome to Jenkins & Jones on the podcast network. is Wednesday, February 16th, and we got a lot of awesome things to talk about today. As always, Jenkins & Jones is hosted by my good and awake friends, LeJethro Jenkins, aka John. He just woke up five minutes ago. What's that, Bubbus? Dragonfly Jones, aka Tyler.
Starting point is 00:05:01 Hey, everybody, how we going? How we do? I'm Garty B. A.K.A. Mike. Shout out my own girl, Paris from Arch State. You know, she does a lot of good things from the kids. I got her hat on today. So check her out, man.
Starting point is 00:05:18 St. Louis. I've got my, my homie, Dante. I'm wearing his hoodie. Talking with Tay. He's a love for the family today. He freelances with us at the 5-6-2. So Tyler, what minor league baseball team are you wearing a hat from today, Tyler? Oh, this is the motherfucking, the Trent and Thunder and shit.
Starting point is 00:05:35 I love that. I have no idea who they are. That's all it matters. It's cute. I have no connection to these. motherfuckers like y'all do my little cousin owns the quick flex yeah um okay let's talk about uh first of all i want to talk about the brawn commercial that aired during the super bowl did both you guys see that of him talking to a younger version of him what'd you think of the commercial and and what do
Starting point is 00:06:06 you think he was saying the young brawn off camera i thought it was a an amazing premise. And then when I saw the end, the payoff, and it was for like crypto. I was like, oh, what the fuck? Like, you know what I say? Like, you know, I thought it was a beautiful touching moment of, you know,
Starting point is 00:06:22 you know, a supremely accomplished older man looking back at, at the younger him who had the whole world in front of him and was, you know, eager to take it on, but a bit nervous about it he would be successful. And then you're going to throw this fucking, this Ponzi scheme ass currency in at the end. I was like, oh, what the fuck.
Starting point is 00:06:41 You know what I'm saying? That's kind of where I was at. Like, you know, I thought it was a great premise, but the land is not stick, man. I thought it was beautiful until the end. The end didn't really move me like that. And why did we ever say crunk? Like, the term crook, it's, when he said, I'm like, lame-ass dick. But you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:06:57 I was like, oh, we used to say that. You feel me? I was like, that wasn't the word. That wasn't it back then. But even though it was at that point. You're so right about the crypto thing because they had the Larry David commercial that was the same that, like, I love the whole commercial. and then it turned out it was for crypto
Starting point is 00:07:15 and I like audibly I was like, oh like fuck, come on bro. Larry David is trying to sell us crypto right now. Fuck. What would you say to your younger self if you go back and talk to yourself
Starting point is 00:07:30 as a fucking high school? He's 17 in the commercial when he goes back and talks to himself or some shit. Funny answer or serious answer. It's too early to box you in. I would say it's going to be okay. I would just say, bro, just do you.
Starting point is 00:07:45 It's going to be okay. There will be times when you feel like it's not, you know what I mean? You'll be very confused, but you'll be all right. Just follow your heart, gee. And that's some really corny-ass shit to say, but that's actually what the fuck I did. You know what I mean? So, and shit has turned out good so far.
Starting point is 00:08:04 I'm just continue to do that. But yeah, that's what I would tell him. That's what I would tell my shorty, like, you're going to be all right, my jeep. You know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah. I'd say something along those lines too.
Starting point is 00:08:16 I'd probably tell younger me just enjoy every moment because I feel like so many times when I was younger, I was just looking forward to what was next. You know what I mean? I was like, this is like the worst time of my life. I can't wait till I blah, blah, blah, right? I was fucking 24 scrambling, making, you know, 25,000 a year. I was like, God, I can't wait until I make my one.
Starting point is 00:08:34 And thank God I did make more money. But I look back on those years, like, that was fun as fuck. You know what I'm saying? Being broke as hell, just being the homies, you know, scrambling together and eating hot. hot dogs and talking shit and all that you know what I'm saying and I look back on those years finally even though I fucking hated them while I was there I like my 20s G I like my teens too but there were just moments which just felt like what the I have no idea what I'm doing there
Starting point is 00:08:59 was many moments you know I mean like that we're like you know right right right right country like I'd have access to a lot of stuff you feel me like I would love to be in st. Louis right now but I literally cannot be in st. Louis doing what I'm doing you know I mean so shaking St. Louis, like, I cried like I never cried before, bro. I was like 34, too. Like, I'm crying until I'm, in the car, because I'm leaving everybody I love. You feel what I'm saying? I'm like, it's a real cry.
Starting point is 00:09:25 You feel me? And I'm like, I hope this works out for something because I'm literally leaving my whole life behind me, you know what I mean? And it worked out and thank God, you know what I'm saying? But, bro, like, it was, it was, all these things were scary, you know what I mean? Up until like 30, probably like three, four years ago. Oh, things just, I didn't know what was going to happen in my life, you feel me? So I think like just, yo, it'll be all right, take your time, all of that, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:09:52 Like, I think that's interesting. That's, that's more or less exactly what I tell myself. I was so worried when I was a teenager about everything. You know what I mean? About not making it, about not having the life that I want, about not being able to write for a living, about not finding a woman who is going to be okay with me being broken. as fuck because that was the job I want you know what I mean like all this shit and like you say you look back and it's like it worked out I was stressing at 17 about asking out the woman
Starting point is 00:10:23 I'm currently married to I was stressed because you was asking out she already said no twice like we were asking out but she said she had already said no twice but we were as well me and Tyler were talking to women that we probably was going to break up with three months you know I mean you were this is the woman you's going to marry you should have been nervous my boy that's The big deal. I think what's interesting is, I feel like 20 years from now, we'll probably have a similar perspective on the way we, on the way our mentality is now. I'm like, oh, you were worried about some shit you didn't need to be worried about or you, you know what I mean? But even though we have that perspective now on 20 years ago, we can't like picture what that's going to look like when we're fucking 55 or whatever.
Starting point is 00:11:06 You know what I mean? I think the thing too is, I was really, I was super broke to you. You know what I mean? For like, even in my early 30s. Like, I'm hustling still. You know what I mean? For a minute. And then I realized, like, after not being broke, at least, it's like, you know,
Starting point is 00:11:22 I had a lot of richness in my life that I didn't realize. You know what I mean? I had to leave for career purposes. But there's a bunch of things I miss that I didn't truly take advantage of because I was so caught up in what I needed to do, how to, how to, like, make something to myself in my career. You know what I mean? So.
Starting point is 00:11:39 Handshake emoji. I feel like I did take, I feel like I was aware of it at the time, but just especially because Shard and I knew we wanted to have kids, it was, as you guys know, a very big thing that my kids would not have to go through some of the things that I went through and not have some of the, like, self-esteem issues and hang-ups around money that I had just because of those things. That's a big deal, too. That's hard to shake, gee. That's hard to shake.
Starting point is 00:12:04 You can't, I mean, I still haven't shaken it, and we've been comfortable for a couple years, you know? I feel you. All right. Let's talk about, unfortunately, none of us can be fans of Snoop Dog anymore after seeing that he smoked weed before. Are they trolling? Are they controlling? Is it April? I couldn't figure it out, bro.
Starting point is 00:12:24 But it was like the least newsworthy thing I've ever seen in a headline from a real publication. Shout out to Calhurt. Shut out to Kyle Hur. Shut out to boss there. Talk about all my smoke before I hop on a day, blah. What you talk about? about this California he never misses an and I don't think he even smokes I think he just doesn't miss an opportunity to tell motherfuckers where I met is where you should be at but you
Starting point is 00:12:50 ain't at he just love to stunt I'm mad at do you think they were trolling I think anything that has Colin Cowherd making fun of you cannot be considered a troll though like he you know what I mean I don't I don't think they funny enough to troll like that I think they were they're not funny enough to not be serious in that situation and that is the dumbest as shit I've ever heard in my I was like Snoop Dog doing what Snoop Dog has done ever since we knew Snoop Dog
Starting point is 00:13:20 existed before going on the Super Bowl because he's Snoop Dogg, you know what I mean? Like more people probably associate Snoop Dog with weed than associate him with rap. At this point you know what I mean? Like there are probably people who he's the black Willie Nelson for the most part pretty much. Like you
Starting point is 00:13:37 think of weed first and foremost when you think of his music. But I don't know what people can think they can be accomplished. could be accomplished with that. You think you're going to cancel Snoop? Like, do you not know he's the most bulletproof motherfucker on the planet? Like, bro, he was hosting the puppy bowl earlier that day. Like, that man is untouchable.
Starting point is 00:13:52 Nothing you say is going to bring that man down, bro. He smoked a little weed before the puppy bowl as well, my boy. You know what I mean? Like, that's what he does, gee. Crazy. I don't think you want to talk about talking to yourself as a teenager. I would love to see a commercial of Snoop Dog. trying to explain to 17-year-old him
Starting point is 00:14:15 that everyone is going to know everything he's doing when he was 17 and old white America is still going to love it everyone's going to love it he was the most dangerous young black man to white America in 1993 1994 bro and to see what he's become now like none of us saw this shit come to come to host the puppy boat
Starting point is 00:14:37 like you know what I mean seawking throwing up Crip. I know. It's good. On the Super Bowl. See what? Let me not.
Starting point is 00:14:48 See what? And he had on Rams' colors, but that's also a particular set of crips, the blue and yellow. You know what I'm saying? Those weren't Rams colors, my G. You feel what I'm saying? So like, dog, yeah. Come on, gee. Like, when I was a kid in Long Beach, you were not allowed to, like, people in Long Beach were, like, people in Long Beach were, like,
Starting point is 00:15:08 nerd outside of the black community. people like didn't want to associate snoop dog with Long Beach. It was like a dirty secret. And now the athletic director at Long Beach State tweets at him after every game. Like we've got floor side floor tickets for you for a Long Beach State basketball game. Like the mayor is like the mayor is talking about loving watching him see what. Teach me. Those cool moves.
Starting point is 00:15:34 Mr. Dogg. I'm glad I've been. I'm glad I've been around for the for the 30 year. the 30-year ride. But it's exactly what Tyler said, man. Like, you have to appreciate this man. We will never see another dude like this ever in our life.
Starting point is 00:15:50 I mean, I'll get it. Like, the doggy style cover is crazy. You know what I mean? But like, my mom was like, I'm right. I'm hiding Snoop Dogg albums, you feel me? My mom see that shit? She's tossing that. You're like, what you're doing?
Starting point is 00:16:01 You can't bring it into the crib, gee? You feel me? And then she hits me up today talking about some. I mean, not today, but doing the Super Bowl. You see the Super Bowl show? Best show ever. That's y'all's music. but I don't know I was up dancing.
Starting point is 00:16:12 I'm like, you used to whoop my ass over that, over that music, you know what I mean? Now you up dancing. You know what I mean? I wish I could show my mom my future back in the day when she would whoop my ass, you feel me? Go the opposite way, you was going to be up dancing.
Starting point is 00:16:26 Whop your own ass, mama. Put yourself, mama. God damn. She might listen to this too. She's going to be on my head. She love y'all. That makes me very happy. Honestly, I feel like there's no compliment that actually gets into my heart other than one we'll talk about later with babies.
Starting point is 00:16:56 Like someone telling you that their mom appreciates you. No, she loves y'all. That's my mom too, as you guys know. My mom would just text me out of nowhere. She texted me after the All-Star thing. She texted me like, she texted me like two days later. She said, they were whoop of your ass about the All-Star. She knows it came from love too, though.
Starting point is 00:17:15 She does. She does know that. She does know that because she's seen that before. She's a real one. You see a real. Tyler, what do you think of the halftime show, man? It's kind of hard to imagine.
Starting point is 00:17:24 I feel like rap has been the dominant genre of music in America for like two solid decades at this point. It's kind of hard to imagine that that was the first rap show we actually got at the Super Bowl. Yeah. You know, making a segue from what we were just talking about. You know, I enjoyed it. I thought it was a great show, phenomenal fucking show.
Starting point is 00:17:44 But there was a part of it that was surreal and maybe a bit bittersweet because I was like, I remember when this music was dangerous, bro. You know what I'm saying? Like we were talking about, you know, John was just talking about how we had to hide our albums from our parents. You know what I'm saying? How Snoop was the most fucking dangerous, feared young black man in America in the early 90s. He was a devil. You know, to our parents, you feel me?
Starting point is 00:18:05 Yeah. That was a devil. He was a devil like a mom. Yeah. And it's just, you know, while I enjoyed seeing how far rap has come, there's a part of me that is kind of, I guess, sad that rap will never be dangerous again. You know what I mean? Because that was the thrill of this shit as a kid, man.
Starting point is 00:18:25 Just knowing that you were in on something that, you know, the older people and white America were hated and was railing against and knowing that, you know, that was your thing. You know what I'm saying? You and your homie's fucking making copies of tapes and passing them around to each other, like a fucking underground society. and you know what I'm saying and you're guarding that shit with your life to keep your parents from catching you with it
Starting point is 00:18:45 that shit was exhilarating but you know I'm old now shit doesn't need to be dangerous anymore you know what I'm saying I'm not a risky dangerous dude anymore either so you know it's like I said it was I enjoy seeing how far rap it's came but like I said it was
Starting point is 00:18:59 it was a bit bittersweet knowing that that shit will never be as dangerous it was specifically too for it to be Dre Snoop even Eminem it was specifically the dudes that it was like you couldn't And you, no one could, like, if any adult found out you were listening to any album by any of those people, you know.
Starting point is 00:19:17 And I think there's a, I'm not a things used to be better guy, as you guys know. Like I think almost everything is better than it used to be in this country and around the world, et cetera. But I do think that kids miss something by music not being a physical object anymore. Like, there was something to that I stole this because my mom wouldn't buy it. for me or I trick someone into buying this or I went you know and I helped my I held my thumb over the parental advisory sticker and the old person at the music store but like you know what I mean like now I mean Vincent could on his fucking Vincent can listen to any music he wants like I parents don't even have an idea of trying to hide certain kinds of music or whatever from
Starting point is 00:20:02 their kids and to us that really was like I found something like I have this thing that is like a special secret, you know, forbidden object or whatever. And for them, it's just, you know, it's the, what's the phrase? The whole world at your door, right? Like, it's everything you want all the time. And I do think, I just do think it's different. And I see that in my own kids. Like, it's just a different thing to have everything available whenever you want.
Starting point is 00:20:26 One thing I'm fucked up is rap is still dangerous. People making this amount of money. Corporations are benefiting off off it, but it's still dangerous to the people that are that are rappers, you know what I mean, particularly the younger ones, you know what I'm saying? Yeah. It's a hazardous job, but that's what's up. White America like you used it. We're like, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:20:47 All of the danger is now to the young black people making the music. That's kind of fucked up to me. But also like, have y'all, I wonder when white people are going like, lose the shackles of lose yourself. Have you listen to the lyrics? The actual lyrics. Free yourself.
Starting point is 00:21:03 Bro, the lyrics are stupid. The man throws up spaghetti. on his hoodie. Go home. Once that happens, you just go home. Change your fucking hoodie, dog.
Starting point is 00:21:14 You ain't built. Spaghetti's, spaghetti is one of the worst foods you could throw up to. You know what I mean? That shit's coming out the same way it went in, bro.
Starting point is 00:21:22 It's laying across your whole septum. Like it's laying from your throat out your nose. You know what I mean? Gene. If that didn't lose yourself in the moment. They're like, bro, mom spaghetti.
Starting point is 00:21:34 You do what my... First of all, why mom spaghetti? that week to throw that your mama can't cook and spaghetti that bad. You know what I'm saying? But if you're that nervous and you're throwing that up on your hoodie, bro, dog, it's, you know, you don't throw up spaghetti on your hoodie and keep doing what you're doing. That's weird, oh stuff.
Starting point is 00:21:52 Anyway. You know Eminem opened a restaurant in Detroit called Mom Spaghetti, which is fucking gross. If you think about how it's a fucking, you know, talking about and lose yourself. I want that spaghetti good, though. It does make me wonder. He did a pop-up in LA.
Starting point is 00:22:09 He did a mom spaghetti pop up in LA before the two-old. It's part of the run-up to it. Did I drive to the city of Los Angeles to wait in line for pasta? For vomit pasta? I did not. Bommet Puff. Tyler, Tyler,
Starting point is 00:22:25 speaking of lose yourself, tweeted that it's like the fucking punters and the kickers were going crazy. Were they? And literally, literally, literally the fucking. Bengals kicker came out of the locker room and there was a picture of him watching him and him. I bet he was like this too.
Starting point is 00:22:44 Listen, they are never letting lose yourself go, bro. That is younger white Americas don't stop believing. They're not letting that go, bro. I actually was upset that he did lose yourself because given the theme of the rest of the show and who is there, till I collapse has similarly a very strong hold on like middle white America, but has Nate dog in it. And so I thought like that was,
Starting point is 00:23:11 I thought that's what they were going to do, but the pull of lose yourself is too strong, gee. Too strong, man. A world pool from which no ship shall escape. I heard a dude driving by Target the next day. Playing Eminem and him, I'm like, don't, don't, gee. Right, man. They might have started something back up.
Starting point is 00:23:29 Right. Back in business. You know, he had a Honda all souped up. You know what I mean? The exact dude that would play Eminem, driving so uh all right it's all-star weekend uh john is john scale of one to 10 how excited are you to be traveling to the city of cleveland ohio i mean negative eight cleveland bro what am i doing cleveland you know what i'm in and out bro mask on they ain't talking to
Starting point is 00:24:02 nobody doing my gig pium bro what are you guys most excited other than the the culture in Cleveland for John. What are you guys most excited for, you know, this weekend? What do you? I know, you guys know I'm excited for the Skills Challenge. What are you excited for all-star weekend? You still have anything left in your heart for the dunk contest. I love the I, I love the Ilam ending. I haven't said I've enjoyed the game since they put the, the Elm ending. Elim ending. You know, they have the target score. Yeah, yeah. But what are you guys looking forward to? What's the part of the weekend that you're most excited for? I got a feeling that. Jai Moran is going to show the fuck out. I think he's going to be the MVP. That's what I'm looking forward to. I think that he knows this is his, this whole season has been an I'm here moment for Jai, right?
Starting point is 00:24:51 And I think he's going to take the All-Star game in the same vein. I think he's going to ball the fuck out. I think he's winning MVP. He's going to be the dude that everyone's looking at like, oh, you're really playing. Yeah, right, exactly. Fourth quarter is fun. But that's about the only thing I trip off on the All-Star Weekend, G. This shit basically the pro bowl to me now, bro.
Starting point is 00:25:07 You know what I mean? Like, this is a week where I don't have to work as much. because there's not as much basketball going on. That's what it is for me. It's a little vacation. You put up there with the pro. I'm exaggerating. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:25:23 I haven't watched the Pro Bowl. But I mean, as far as like, I don't know, yeah, pro bowl, yeah. But I mean, like, I don't necessarily need to watch the All Star Games. You know what I'll turn it on. You know, I don't even know the Pro Bowl when that airs. I don't even be knowing what the time is on. You know what I'm saying? But I'm kind of on the other than the spectrum here.
Starting point is 00:25:42 I can't, I would never. missing all-sart game, bro. I think showboating basketball is, is fucking super entertaining, bro. Like, like the fucking alley-y-y-bounce that stepped through to the Yannis a few years back, like shit like that. Like, bro, sign me up for that all the time.
Starting point is 00:25:57 I just don't care. I mean, I don't know why. I'm not anti-show-boating. It just don't matter to me, you know what I mean? I think the two, the thing about basketball that's so much better than any other sport to me, is that there are so many ways that it can be played. And it is one of the few sports, like, if you really love football,
Starting point is 00:26:20 you don't necessarily love the idea of writing about and watching high school, junior college, NCAA, and NFL football, right? The NFL is the perfect, it's the perfection of football, et cetera, et cetera. Basketball, to me, on one end of this spectrum is an all-star game, and on the other end of the spectrum is the NBA playoffs, and I love both of those styles. Like, I love freewheeling, let's just have fucking fun and enjoy the fact. celebrate the fact that we have aliens physical gifts that we could do shit that
Starting point is 00:26:48 physically doesn't make any sense to almost every human being that's ever lived and i love locked in diving on the floor going crazy fucking playoff basketball my problem with the NBA is not the all-star game it's the fact that it's the regular season where if you know basketball you know these dudes are not playing most games super locked in whatever but they're also not having fun You know what I mean? So that's what we talked about that in-season tournament, which Adam Silver is probably going to be pitching a lot over the next five days, I would guess.
Starting point is 00:27:21 But like that to me is what's exciting about that is put some stakes out there, put some money on the table that has dudes playing, you know, early in the season like, oh, okay, this is something that really matters to me. But I think that might be kind of why we've talked about, it seems like a lot of these dudes are miserable, bro. What? Like, I mean, like the NBA, you've never heard so many. stories about so is so is so is so doesn't like the fucking situation they're in on the team
Starting point is 00:27:46 that they built bro you know what i mean it's just it's too many games did you see like where hardin was rolling his eyes i don't know if there's something somebody reported that hardin was rolling his eyes when uh when nash was drawn up plays for kd could you imagine having that much confidence in yourself i mean when the best player in the world is into play drawn up for And you're like, oh, this guy again. This guy is Kevin Durant. The Kevin Durant, maybe the best score we've ever seen. One of the best scores in the world.
Starting point is 00:28:20 Does ever put their feet on the world, touch the basketball, rolling your eyes? That's so weird. And to hear that he wasn't happy to, you know what I mean? It's just, I'm like, bro, it's. We're in the surly era of the NBA right now. You know what I mean? The league is surly as fuck, bro. It's churlish.
Starting point is 00:28:38 I mean, we saw that fucking subliminal Hardin through at Kyrie's. Like, I'm just happy to be here where everyone is willing to do whatever it takes. Except for you when it's time to win, Hardin. Shut up, please. Oh, my God. You great games one through four. You know what I mean? My favorite, because they had a tough game out of the gate, obviously.
Starting point is 00:29:00 But there's a clip of MB trying to cross someone over and then badly missing a three-pointer. And someone just tweeted it and said, one practice with James Harden later. Brough. Come on, man. Crazy. But going back to All-Star, I will say that I don't, I won't say I just don't care. It's just that there's other things that I care about more.
Starting point is 00:29:25 Because when I went to Chicago, and that was a great All-Star game, it's a great slammed-up contest, too. The three-point contest wasn't bad either. I couldn't wait to leave and just go be with my buddies. You know what I mean? So like, it was like, I'm here, but I wasn't, I was more thinking like, yeah, can we get this over with? So I don't, so I just think, I don't think it's bad. I thought that was a good product.
Starting point is 00:29:47 There's just other things that I'd rather be doing. Including. Um, let's, I'm going to tell y'all my flight schedule when we get off here. So you know exactly what time it is with me. Let's talk about, uh, the Bucks, uh, beat the Pacers last night. Janice had 50 I continue to think that the bucks, even though they're the defending
Starting point is 00:30:13 champions, are the team I feel like everyone should think these dudes are winning the championship and I don't feel like people do. But what I really wanted to talk about was Janice continuing to appease bag Twitter had a fucking he had such a nice move.
Starting point is 00:30:30 Jason Maples tweeted the clip and said, has he tween Twitter are you not entertained? bro he had someone with the double-tap crossover step back fade away for a bucket you know what I'm saying he got 50 on what 17 of 21 shooting it was the fourth fewest shots ever needed to get to 50 points that's kD type shit bro come on man hey like you know the bucks were my pick to win it all at the top of the season there's still my pick to win it all this season um you know we've seen how fucking there's a log jam in the east where everyone's separated by like two games and and shit and you know what I'm saying it's about five or six teams there that are going to be a tough out but yeah I still think the bucks I mean the bucks when I saw them live a couple weeks ago and I'm like this is this is a basketball team full of hoopers like they whoop but also like they can they are they play basketball real smart you know I mean like I was I was extremely
Starting point is 00:31:25 impressed with them so I won't be surprised and I mean like it was crazy as it was like I knew yonis was he had like 30 something that night you know what I'm saying but seeing middleton play and how controlled he is I'm like point. You're game is beautiful in person. You really know how to find your spots, play within yourself, all of that. They got dudes that know what they need to be doing, and they do that shit.
Starting point is 00:31:44 You know what I'm saying? They got a team, gee. So I'm not surprised. I'm not surprised. I think that's the difference to me with them is that everyone knows what their job is. And they've accepted it and they're settled into it. And I also think with Janus, what was your experience seeing him?
Starting point is 00:31:59 I've heard Janus is in the Braun, the Braun Hall of Fed, the Braun Mount Rushmore of guys that when you see in person, you're like, oh, this guy evolved from a different branch of the family tree than like, what does this guy come from from? For me, Brian came with the fact that he's brown. Like, I don't, I love Janus, but I, I mean, Brian to me is just like a tear above the highest tier. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:32:23 Seeing Janus is some of the moves he did at his size, like, Sandy has no bag. That's, bro, like, I couldn't even compute how that is done by somebody that big. You know what I mean? And you know how people are bigger when you, the players are always bigger when you see him in person? He is bigger. Like, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:32:44 That's what I've heard. I've heard that when you look at him, it looks like a visual effect. Right, you know what I'm saying? I can't understand it. My brain will allow me to go there for this to make sense, you know what I'm saying? But dog, yeah, I mean, he obviously special.
Starting point is 00:32:56 And I'll say this. I think Katie's the best player in the world, you know what I'm saying? But I think when, when, when Janus is doing what Janus is doing, He's, I mean, he's up there with Katie, and he's, and it seems like it feels more dominant. You know what I mean? It's because he's fucking buff, bro.
Starting point is 00:33:13 I mean, right? Yeah, it's, like, like, I think, I think the best build, the best body comparison you can make to Janus is. I think the best build, the best body comparison you can make to Janus is David Robinson. And imagine David Robinson doing the shit that Yonis does. You know what I'm saying? Like, that's some shit that you just can't wrap your head around. And Yonis is just as good of a defender. maybe even better a defender than Dave Robbins
Starting point is 00:33:37 because David Robbins is going to hop out there on the perimeter like Yonnas can't. You know what I'm saying? And Yonis can hold his own on the post in the block like Admiral could. So he's a one of one. A one of fucking one. David, David Robbins had like 71 in the game right. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:33:50 Like this incredible player. Every time I think of D. Robb, I think of how Elijah Wilde cooked his ass and had him in the post game just like, suppressor. I don't know. I don't know what I could have done. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:34:04 Yeah. Like he had this seven-foot, you know, stud athlete, just confused because he had him hopping all around the court, Gee. You know what I mean? He had him on skates. But, I mean, yeah, D-Rob, great defender, obviously. But I just can't get that presser out after Elijah Wound cooked him for a million points. You know what I mean? Y'all remember that?
Starting point is 00:34:24 Y'all remember that press? Yes. Yeah. During Robbins' MVP season, as a matter of fact, in 95 playoffs. Not a single fuck was given by Ojoin. He was that dude. We don't talk about him enough. Nobody talks about him enough.
Starting point is 00:34:43 You can't talk about Olajuwon enough. But we definitely don't talk about him enough. You said. Oh, yeah. I mean, if you say Olajuwon's the greatest center ever, like, I won't argue with you. Like, that's how high on him on dream I am. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:34:55 Yeah. Yonest final stat line, 50 points on 17 of 21 shooting. Two of three from three, 14 rebounds, four assists. Come on, man. And I think that's why it's more dominant because the rebounds will be insane. The assists will be insane. KD. is generally just buckets. You feel what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:35:14 He'll get you some reads, but not like Elijah. I mean, not like Janus. You know what I'm saying? Janus will rebound like Elijah won't. You feel what I'm saying? Like, in a game where he went 17 for 21. Kevin Duran is like, he's a human poem. I mean, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:35:28 It's just, his game is so beautiful. I mean, you could just, if you're just sitting around, working you could just put a half hour compilation up on the TV and you know you'll end up watching the TV 40 seconds later or some shit but yeah but Janus is because of his build and what's crazy is he was this he was he was he was a skinny fucking kid he was he didn't get big they talked about when he got to the bucks he couldn't bench the fucking bar literally you know what I mean like it happened one someone like he was slim and then all of a sudden And there's pictures of him like he has a head as a bicep now.
Starting point is 00:36:07 You know what I mean? Like his man way came like that. You feel me? I remember they had the same complaints about KD. He wasn't even able to do fucking, you know, one rap, bitch, 135. Yeah, yeah. And he said it's a good thing basketball.
Starting point is 00:36:23 And look how. Yeah. Yeah, and look at where we are. Okay. We don't have a tenable, untenable. We have a serious or unserious. Here's my question. The Celtics have won nine in a row.
Starting point is 00:36:36 It's the longest win streak in the NBA. Serious or unsurious? Half serious? They're not a championship team, but they're going to annoy the fuck out of someone in the playoffs. I think that's where we're at with them. I have nothing else on that. I'm just, I... Imagine an Olympics where doping is not only legal, but encouraged.
Starting point is 00:36:55 It's the enhanced games. Some call it grotesque. Others say it's unleashing human potential. Either way, the podcast's Superhuman documented it all. embedded in the games and with the athletes for a full year. Within probably 10 days, I'd put on 10 pounds. I was having trouble stopping the muscle growth. Listen to Superhuman on the I-Hard Radio app,

Including a recent episode with Mark Lamont Hill waxing all about crack in the 80s. To be clear, 84 is big to me, not just because of crack. I'm down to talk about crack on day, but just so you all know. I mean, at this point, Mark, this is the second episode where we've discussed crack. So I'm starting to see that there's a through line. We also have AIDS on the table right now. Thank you for finishing that sentence.
Starting point is 00:39:38 Yes. I don't think there's a more important year for black people. Really? Yeah. For me, it's one of the most important years for black people in American history. Listen to look back at it on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I can't really be super confident in that team, you know what I'm saying? But I wouldn't be surprised if they got on somebody's nerves and still got outed in the first round.
Starting point is 00:40:02 You know, take it to six, make somebody nervous, you know what I mean? Go home, guys. Go be with your son, Jason. Jackson, any thoughts? Jackson, any thoughts on the Boston Celtics' seriousness? Talking about the fucking point differential. You're so sweet. That's so good.
Starting point is 00:40:34 Good luck with that, Bubba. They had, like, the biggest point differential in NBA history over, like, the last three role games, some shit like that, I think. which is a Jesus Watch the pistons beat them because that's just how shit works But that's very Celtics too

Starting point is 00:45:01 for multiple sports in all states on mobile slash web gambling problem call 1-800 next step all right I want to talk about this something John and I were talking about in the group chat why is it that babies are the best judges of character like if i when we had when when vincent was a baby i feel like if someone walked in the house i could pick my infant son up and point him at that person and just based off the face he was making it was always accurate of like what type of a person is this you know what i mean they can smell vibes i don't know i don't know i don't know what it is but but that is the ultimate test. If a baby fucks with you, you are a good person
Starting point is 00:45:42 with the pure heart. I mean, there's studies insane. There's never a time you're more instinctual than as a shorty. You know what I mean? I think babies see the world in a way that we shouldn't see the world.
Starting point is 00:45:58 You know what I mean? Like, the things that they could even peep. You know what I mean? There was like a corner that Somi would look at and she'd be super happy. And then there's a corner place that she would be when she was like, I do not like this place. And it could be just lighting, but it didn't feel like that. It felt kind of spooky. You feel what I'm saying? I think they still tapped into that other world that we come, whatever world we come from or universe we come from, whatever the place in the universe we come from.
Starting point is 00:46:20 I think that. But I think like, bro, for me, if my, if a baby cries when I grew up, I know I need to check my energy. My energy's fucked up. That's how I feel. You know what I mean? And I love babies. I've always loved babies. You feel me? So like, you know, like, but yeah, so I'm like, okay, I need to check my energy because usually that ain't the case. You know what I mean? So I think they just can feel the energy, you know? Because like you said, I've seen babies like our whole, like, like, like Emory. Emory, my, uh, agent had me hold Emory. She was hell of cool with me, passed to somebody else.
Starting point is 00:46:50 And I know that dude, he's kind of the homie, but also I know why she cried when he, when he held her. You feel what I'm saying? Because that ain't the one. You know what I mean? He got, he, you know, he's a little scammy, you know what I'm saying? So I, I definitely agree with that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:09 babies are the best vibe checkers on the planet. You know, I don't think it's even that crazy to think or a conspiracy theory to think that maybe they could like see ORs and shit. You know what I'm saying? Because babies are helpless. You know what I mean? It's something that would have to be kind of, you know, embedded in them due to evolution so they know how to, you know,
Starting point is 00:47:28 kind of protect themselves. Because the only thing a baby can do to protect themselves is cry. You know what I mean? So, yeah. You know, I wish we knew more about what we go through as babies because, no, none of us really know shit. can't talk to a baby none of us remember being a baby like that shit is a mystery babies move as if they know something like you know I'm not outside of just crying when
Starting point is 00:47:48 they have a confidence they have a confidence like you know what I'm saying like it's I can't really truly explain it but I'm like she know what she's saying she know you know you know there's certain things I feel like she knows what she doing but like it's coming from a place that I don't completely understand you know what I mean our doctor explained to us when we had Vincent that like they're like think about how traumatic being born is for the babies we talk about obviously a lot for what the what mothers go through rightfully so but it's like when the baby is born the baby has never experienced gravity hunger direct light breathing you know what I mean it's like all of those things are experiences that a baby has existed with that you know what I mean and they
Starting point is 00:48:36 come into the world and it's like oh you're throwing a lot of me right now. Bro, when I bring somebody outside, I bring it outside, she's like, whoa, what is this? You feel what I'm saying? Like, she just gets quiet and just kind of peeps everything. Like, and then she'll also hug on me a little tighter. But as a, you know, she's starting to, like, get more comfortable. So she's like, you know, looking, looking, looking her head up, looking around more.
Starting point is 00:48:58 But, like, it was like almost like, she'd be, like, you know, crying or a little cranky. You bring her outside and she'd be like, like, you know, it was like all the, all the, the, the new, you know, things. Yeah. Blue her mind, you know what I mean? Do you stimuli. What's gonna, what's gonna trip you out? Dude, that was the first time Vincent ever slept through the night
Starting point is 00:49:18 was we took him to Disneyland when he was a baby. And he was so like, what the fuck is going on? That he fell asleep in the car on the way home. And he slept for like, we're like, we're going to Disneyland every night. We were sleeping in every day. That's why y'all are Disneyland now. You don't start his stuff back in a day,
Starting point is 00:49:34 trying to get him to sleep through the night. But yeah, when she's around a lot of people, too. She likes a few people at a time. When it's a bunch of people she's like, I don't know these niggins. And if I'm being honest, I like it. Because so many, you don't know these nakes. Move careful out here, you feel me?
Starting point is 00:49:51 You know what I mean? She's, she's, your baby's at the age where she's talking and she knows what she's saying, but no one understands her because she's speaking baby language right now. But what's going to trip you out is when she gets old enough to speak, everyone has a story about their kid saying something that just
Starting point is 00:50:07 scared the living fuck out of them about like Maya and Maya had this where she was there was a corner she would look at in the roof and when she was old time to talk we'd be like what are you doing and she'd be like saying hi to the lady you know what I mean everyone has a story like that about I know how I feel about my dog I think she's special gee you feel me I you're gonna get one of the trust me you're gonna get one of those from your daughter that's just like I was just talking to you're like what brother, he got lost in my mom's gig. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:50:42 And my mom couldn't find him. She's like, you know, it's like she looked up, you know, it was, it's an office. So it's like cubicles. It wasn't a big deal. It's like, where does this little boy go? She's looking around for him. Come back and he's in office. And she's like, where'd you go?
Starting point is 00:50:54 She was like, he was like, I was just, you know, I was walking around and I got lost. So how did you get back? She was like, the man helped me. She was like, all right. Then kind of like, was just the window back to work and like, that's kind of weird. Let's get out of here. because she was the only person there. She's working late one day with my little brother.
Starting point is 00:51:10 So she's walking out, and there's this picture hanging in the front. And Aaron was like, that's the man. And the man had died years ago. But he had worked in that office building. And I'm like, that's whack as hell to be a ghost and come back to work. But my mom, it was spooky as hell. So she was like, okay, let's go. And she was
Starting point is 00:51:36 You know what I mean Locking the place up and shook But like yeah Like them weird things But I love that about kids Is you don't like He might have Like first of all
Starting point is 00:51:45 Something really might have happened He might have looked at that poster And it might have put him in a place mentally Where he's like Able to walk himself Something about the picture You know what I mean But for us we go straight to you know what I'm saying
Starting point is 00:51:57 You know Yeah You know scary movie or something You know what I mean like Yeah All right well speaking of things that have died. Versus is charging?
Starting point is 00:52:09 Is that what is it versus is charging now? Is that what? Did I see that on Twitter.com? Great segue. Golly. Blah? That's a lot. They were,
Starting point is 00:52:20 they were going to charge, they were going to charge for a Valentine's Day edition, the day after Valentine's Day. On Tuesday? Yeah, on the fucking Tuesday. The day after Valentine's Day, then the fucking internet ate they ass up and Swiss pulled back on that.
Starting point is 00:52:35 He said, I didn't even know this was going to happen. I don't know who did this. I was out of the country. You ain't got a phone. You're going to try to blame this. I was in Belize. I was in the country. I was, you got a cell phone?

Starting point is 00:53:15 I heard you got cooked. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I didn't even watch for free. So you know how bad of an idea that was. And I watch all them joints generally. You feel what I'm saying? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:29 I mean, the reason shit's popular on the Tuesday is because you're not charging. And it's online. You know, it's easy access to it. You feel it? Come on, man.
Starting point is 00:53:38 Some things could just exist to be fun and not exist. Product placement. That would be a great thing if we could just like culturally acknowledge it. Just like come to that point. There's so many ways for them to make money that don't involve them paying. The us paying. Yeah, you have the eyeballs. The eyeballs are the value.
Starting point is 00:53:56 You're going to lose the eyeballs. You know what I'm saying? Right. I mean, the marketing dollars got to be crazy. When you got millions and millions and millions of people tap, You know what I mean? You got more people watching that than most television shows. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:54:10 Right. But also, if you're going to a paywall, you have to do it for the one that Snoop was in. I mean, it has to be for the one that everyone's like, oh, my fucking God. Some people might be like, the Snoop. The Snoop DMX one, like, I would have paid for it. I probably would pay for that. There's people that have watched it consistently, and then you charge me for that one. You're going to lose the people that, you know, you're going to lose the Lord's here.
Starting point is 00:54:29 I think it's just the eyeballs are valuable. Make that. Don't get greedy. Make that money off. you know what I'm saying? And Mark, take the money from these companies, bro. Yeah. Take that motherfuckering Dorito shit.
Starting point is 00:54:42 And that bag is fat as hair. You know what I'm saying? That Syrac ad money. Yeah. Manfuckers get two greenie and fuck everything up. How you are all product placement. Be littered with products in the back of that shit. You feel me?
Starting point is 00:54:56 You know what I mean? Just make that money, gee. I think that's a smarter play. That's like the, that's the story of what's happened to American media. what Tyler just said though like when we worked at the daily newspaper it was explained to us that because like almost all newspapers are owned by hedge funds at this point right in america well a hedge fund does not want to make a 15% profit a hedge fund wants to make a see 15% growth every year so to me if I own a newspaper in my hometown is making 50% money fucking great
Starting point is 00:55:28 that's a more than enough money to get I mean you're rich off that right you feel like great They want to see it go up by 15% every year. So if it only goes up by 10% one year, all three of us would go, oh, wow, this is a fucking great year. They're going, we have to cut 5% of the staff to make up for that 5% that we didn't get on the growth. And also you want. Correct. But that's how we've been, but that's it.
Starting point is 00:55:52 But that is what's happening in our country. Do you know how big of what's 15% is? 15% is not a high number, but a percentage of like business. That is a high number. Every year. For something that's been around for so long and for something that's dying. You know what I'm saying? That's a crazy expectation.
Starting point is 00:56:13 That's great times. I think you could write the history of the last 20 years in America by saying it's been like an 80% reduction in journalists and like 150% increase in public relations employees. You know what I mean? Like that's it. That's it right there to me, bro. Soulist industry. Solace industry. It's a lot of solid soul.
