Another Rah Rah Guy

This one feels like a group chat that got mic’d up and told the truth. We start where the timeline went wild—Kodak’s rant—and push past outrage into responsibility: who gets to shape the narrative when influence outruns insight? That thread leads into confidence myths (no, Adderall doesn’t manufacture talent), early-career Kanye’s grit, and how labels quietly ration oxygen through budgets, beats, and features. We call out the culture’s obsession with entertaining liars, then lay out a simple code for friends: ask, disclose, and be honest before “the game is the game” blows up your circle.

Football takes the wheel midstream. The Falcons show real pride despite 19 flags, and we dig into what spoiler wins do for a locker room. The Vikings’ 34 points without feeding Justin Jefferson becomes a lesson in scheme vs superstar. Joe Burrow’s situation gets a compassionate look—injuries, organizational strain, and what it means when your “happy place” isn’t healing. Then we zoom out to the Chiefs: a timeline since Eric Bieniemy left, Kelsey’s drops, and the price of living in the margins. We own a Jokic take that aged badly and use it to explore the modern scoring era, role player usage, and why Kobe-in-2025 hypotheticals demand context. Dirk’s quiet greatness, Lamar Odom’s perfect modern fit, and late-game lineup choices (hello, Gobert) round out a sharp NBA segment.

We close with a clip from Rep. Jasmine Crockett and draw a line: history and dignity matter, but so does respecting honest work and immigrant contributions without cliché. Then it’s pick time: bowl games, CFP angles, and an NFL slate built on weather, injuries, and matchups over vibes. If you’re into sports, music, and culture with receipts and zero pandering, this one’s for you.

SPEAKER_05: 0:00

I think it's version of touch it.

SPEAKER_03: 0:40

Hey there, Parlay B. How we doing?

SPEAKER_05: 0:43

We are rolling. How are we doing today, AC? Oh man, not too bad. I know that was probably weird for you to hear because I don't ever call you AC, but you said you're rolling on a bean?

SPEAKER_03: 0:56

No, I said I'm just rolling. Oh, okay. Well, you know, uh, Kodak Black appeared to have been rolling on a bean and tweeted something. Did you did you see that?

SPEAKER_05: 1:06

I did not. I I saw the other rapper with tattoos on his face. It's from well, he's not even from Atlanta technically, but hell's from Atlanta. I saw his tweets. I didn't see Kodak Black's tweets.

SPEAKER_03: 1:18

Oh, Kodak Black said he isn't mad about slavery. Africa should have never sold niggas. Black people, bruh, we pussy as fuck. Oh, oh, actually we have actually we have a video.

SPEAKER_01: 1:33

Black people, bro. We pussy as fuck, bro. I know I know y'all know Africa too. I just hate the Africans who act like we what you call it. Y'all Africa should have never sold niggas, bro. People, bro. Why you think slavery go good, bro? I'm not mad at slavery, bro. White people are slavery people too. You know what, bro? Black people, bro. We pussy as fuck, bro. I'ma say that. Gonna gonna be gonna be y'all too.

SPEAKER_05: 2:04

You know, Malcolm X, he once spoke on this stuff. He said, uh we don't listen to only in the black community people take what the athletes entertainers say as this gospel of some sort. Like him saying this to me is no different than some random person on Twitter tweeting it. I guess is what I'm basically getting at. So you don't but because it's him, obviously people are gonna look at it a little bit differently. And same thing, you know, I'm a big Kanye guy, but like same thing when Kanye said slavery was a choice, with uh in regards to it, but I understood a little bit better where he was trying to come from with it. What he just said didn't make any sense.

SPEAKER_03: 2:49

Well, you know, he has a drug history, and uh, I don't think that Broward County school public school system was was good to him.

SPEAKER_05: 3:01

It probably wasn't there. I mean, that's just the truth, too. Like, that's okay. Like it's okay.

SPEAKER_03: 3:09

Hey, he can rap.

SPEAKER_05: 3:11

Sure. He's got some decent music. I don't know.

SPEAKER_03: 3:15

You don't, but you don't you don't listen to Yak.

SPEAKER_05: 3:18

No, not like that. No, I don't.

SPEAKER_03: 3:20

I I I don't either, but I will listen to Yak, and and Yak can he can go. Yeah, he's okay. Uh this guy uh told me yesterday that like um anybody can rap on Adderall.

SPEAKER_05: 3:39

Is it is it because everybody'll just keep going and flowing and then not stop and like it doesn't really matter? I didn't really like what you're saying, because it's like you got the confidence. Because isn't that what really half the battle? Most people will be too afraid to get up there and say something and then might forget what they're saying. And it's like more of like a demeanor and like confidence type thing more than anything.

SPEAKER_03: 3:59

Oh, absolutely.

SPEAKER_05: 4:01

I mean, that would be my guess. I mean what that means by saying anyone can do it on at all.

SPEAKER_03: 4:07

That's why I'm not a rapper, because I I was just always afraid to to to kick a freestyle. You didn't you didn't want it to be whack. Exactly. Well, I should have said 100.

SPEAKER_05: 4:24

Well, it's funny on uh, and again, hate to bring Kanye up again. I know that I've been doing a good job of no Kanye, no Matt Ryan, no Kobe. But uh in that case, you know, I know you heard last call on college dropout. That's kind of like the story behind it. Like he's like, he's like Dame came in, and he's like, yo, he's like the wax not even rap. He's like the rap's not even wax. He's like, it's kind of tight, like on that record. That's funny, but that's a confident nigga too that's doing it.

SPEAKER_03: 4:55

Uh, I don't think Kanye was a confident rapper early. I don't think he was a confident in the room.

SPEAKER_05: 5:02

You watched Genius?

SPEAKER_03: 5:03

Yeah, I watched it.

SPEAKER_05: 5:04

That nigga was pretty, it seemed like he was confident.

SPEAKER_03: 5:08

Yeah, he wanted everybody to respect the fact that he could do it, and like nobody they didn't they didn't want certainly Jay-Z didn't want him for that, which well Jay-Z doesn't want anybody that can rap well around him. Excuse me, who can compete with him as an artist? I don't want to shit on on Beanie and Freeway and those rappers who I mean, come on, man.

SPEAKER_05: 5:36

He set himself up with Renegade.

SPEAKER_03: 5:41

I mean, I'm not saying it was Eminem's beat.

SPEAKER_05: 5:43

It was M and M's beat anyway. Like, he's not gonna be able to do that.

SPEAKER_03: 5:46

I'm not talking, I'm not talking about like on a feature and stuff, I'm just talking about like on the label. Right, feature, like feature Jay can rap with anybody and not and like not saying that he's won every time. No, niggas have gotten Jay. But I ain't talking about that.

SPEAKER_05: 6:02

I just mean Yeah, just listen to Watch the Throne.

SPEAKER_03: 6:05

I mean, you heard with DMX, you know, no kind of when Jay-Z took over Def Jam, how uh a lot of good artists suffered.

SPEAKER_05: 6:18

Who? Well, I I know he's talking about himself, but like who else? I don't know who else suffered. Because he did it when he retired, right? So that's like oh three, oh two-ish. It's like oh three, because changed clothes came out in 04. And he was the president when the black album dropped, right?

SPEAKER_03: 6:38

Like, yeah, so but you know, Jay-Z Jay-Z, the artist, takes priority over other artists, you know what I mean? Like budgets and beats and features, and you know what I mean.

SPEAKER_05: 6:56

So you're saying that he stacks more paper than you and fucks more holes than you?

SPEAKER_04: 7:02

Sure.

SPEAKER_05: 7:03

I'm in my boondocks, man. No, no, no, no, no. Somebody had put that up with uh in regards to uh Wimby with or no chet with Wimby. And they said that was uh yeah, that that was chet being asked about women. He's like, he's like, he's like, so you're saying he's better than you. He's like, yes. And then he's like, are you saying so you're saying that he fucks more bitches and stacks more paper than you? And he's like, absolutely.

SPEAKER_03: 7:30

Like I mean, but they're they're different players in different situations.

SPEAKER_05: 7:35

But I yeah, but there's obviously this weird rivalry that isn't truly a rivalry that's yes, yes, kind of sparks because of well, and because they're back-to-back drafts, they're the same kind of build of player.

SPEAKER_03: 7:50

Yeah, but it started on the on the uh on the Olympic circuit.

SPEAKER_05: 7:54

Yeah, I'm sure. Because of course that's who they would have guarding each other, you know? Yeah, it fit like a glove like OJ's.

SPEAKER_03: 8:04

Hey, he was not convicted.

SPEAKER_05: 8:10

Sharon was. Or uh will be. Let me not say that he was, because he hasn't been yet. Oh, he's been fired. Yeah, yeah, but I'm talking about his actual, you know.

SPEAKER_03: 8:23

Uh I somebody was talking about that, and I and I and I think they were spot on. It should be treated like a mental health crisis, not a criminal thing.

SPEAKER_05: 8:33

And why do you think that?

SPEAKER_03: 8:36

I mean, a guy gets fired and uh, you know, loses his five million dollar a year salary or whatever it was, and you run the risk of losing your family and this girl who you were messing with and probably are emotionally connected to, and also gave like you know, doubled her salary, uh, spilt the beans on you. I I I could see you not being in the best state of mind. And while yes, the actions are wrong, I I don't think there's a criminal punishment that actually gets to the root of his problem. I I think it would be like anger management, some some counseling, some you know, like stress management stuff, maybe some community service.

SPEAKER_05: 9:20

Are we doing this right now, by the way?

SPEAKER_03: 9:22

I mean, we can.

SPEAKER_05: 9:24

I didn't I well, I know Falcons first normally, but we actually won, so it's kind of like uh, you know, but then yeah, let's just go ahead and hop into this, just to kick this thing off. Because to me, that was the most explosive and biggest story that's happened over the past week, anyways.

SPEAKER_03: 9:39

We talked about it last week.

SPEAKER_05: 9:42

It didn't happen last Wednesday.

SPEAKER_03: 9:45

Did it?

SPEAKER_05: 9:45

Yeah, we talked about it last Wednesday.

SPEAKER_03: 9:48

We talked about it, but we didn't have like all of the other details that we have. I think it happened only.

SPEAKER_05: 9:53

Right. Maybe what it was is he had gotten fired, but like we had we didn't know everything. I think we are speculative of what had happened. Yes, we just knew it was a staffer, and it's like, okay, so he's fucking somebody that he shouldn't be fucking.

SPEAKER_03: 10:08

Yes, right. Hey, um why do you think though she uh dumped him?

SPEAKER_05: 10:16

Did she dump him or I th I thought that he dumped her because he fired her? Oh a lot of it sounded to me like the staff is what dictated it because everybody knew that there's this elephant in the room. He if he's already being investigated about it, they're like, bro, you gotta move her out of here, or like you gotta get rid of her. And maybe there was nowhere else for her to go. And it was like basically I gotta fire you, and then she's like, hey, AD, I've got all this proof. Look, these are the explicit text messages of him talking about what he wants to do to me and what I want to do to him. They could have even recorded or something, like you never know, right? Like, I mean, I highly doubt that that's something she showed, but I mean, but yeah, but you know how niggas are.

SPEAKER_03: 11:04

You want how do you how do you feel about uh the chick that you're you're messing with that you're not supposed to, who you got the the pay raise for, and then everybody around y'all is like, hey man, this shit's getting out of control, you gotta let her go. So you let her go, and then she turns fed on you. Like, shouldn't she understand the situation?

SPEAKER_05: 11:27

I don't know. We need to ask Eric Adams. He's somebody that paid some ass that he shouldn't have been paying. Yeah, he did. That chick she wrote like a whole book on the shit. You believe that book? I do, I 100% believe it. You don't think that Eric Adams is we know he's capable, you don't believe that that's something he would have done? He he walked around like he would have.

SPEAKER_03: 11:54

No, I think Eric Adams. I mean, I think Eric Adams is uh does square business. I trust Eric Adams.

SPEAKER_05: 12:05

I think he's a he's a he's a round peg going into a square hole. Or a square peg going into a round hole, rather.

SPEAKER_03: 12:12

You know what? I put Eric Adams in the same box, you know, with Steve and Gene Deal.

SPEAKER_05: 12:19

No, just liars. Guys that lie about everything that they do. Whatever sounds the best. That's what I take it as what you're saying here. Whatever just sounds the best.

SPEAKER_03: 12:35

Wildly entertaining New Yorkers who I enjoy hearing tell stories that I don't care if they're true or not.

SPEAKER_05: 12:45

Well, and you can't with certainty say that you know if they're true, but you know a lot when you hear a lie, too. You know what? I just like Stogie Boy's a liar. That's another nigga that's like a liar.

SPEAKER_03: 12:58

A great, uh entertaining liar, though.

SPEAKER_05: 13:00

Yeah, but that's what I'm saying. He's a these guys are they're as entertaining as Eddie Guerrero's lies, cheats, and steals. Like, you know what I mean? Like it's that type of entertainment. It's like, oh look, Eddie undid his shoe, so when the ankle lock gets on, he can his his shit comes off, you know, or or you know, he he hit the ground with the steer chair and then threw it to Kurt Angle, and then he fell on the ground and the ref thought he hit him. So he retained his title by fucking uh disqualification.

SPEAKER_03: 13:30

Or or he's about to lose, so then he goes and grabs the title belt and knocks the ref out, and you can't lose your title even if you get disqualified.

SPEAKER_05: 13:41

Yeah, those those type of lies, you know.

SPEAKER_03: 13:45

Maybe it's just a southern person in me. But typically when I hear New Yorkers talk, let's go. That's that's just let's just think you're lying.

SPEAKER_05: 14:00

I mean, and as you know, I've been around a lot of that. And so like you'll hear stories, whether it be from I mean, I don't have a reason to lie about it, whether it be from you know, people you have a child with, and I'm not calling her a liar, but certainly there are a lot of different things I've heard that happen. Now, look, I don't think that it's all untrue, but some of it can be, right? Like it just, you're just like, okay, like, yeah, I really believe that, you know, and then when you get when you're in that neck of the woods, you're like, I can kind of see some of this being true, but you don't know, right?

SPEAKER_03: 14:37

Because you don't know what you don't know, but remind me to tell you after the show why I'm laughing so hard. It's related, though. It's very related.

SPEAKER_01: 14:46

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03: 14:48

Hey, hey, hey, just different, different coast. I think that tells you what made me laugh.

SPEAKER_05: 14:56

Yes, yeah, yeah. It happens, yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 15:00

It happens.

SPEAKER_03: 15:02

It's like, oh, sounds believable, but I know you.

SPEAKER_05: 15:09

You know, Lee, and what and that, but then you know, Lee, when I like to tell a story, you know, I normally have some sort of a receipt so that everybody knows, not that anyone thinks I'm a liar, but like even if they do or don't, I like to come up with something and be like, no, no, no, no, like this. Or I'll say, ask such and such. That's my storytelling method.

SPEAKER_03: 15:31

When I call Julian Turner to get validation that you and your brother are corrupt in the fantasy football league, right? Same thing.

SPEAKER_05: 15:40

That type of stuff is theory. Um, it's theory amongst men that that don't understand why all these championships are going one side, it seems like. Even though it's two sides, you guys look at it as one side. We because there's a common, there's a there's a common name in there. And so it's just like, well, why can't we just be great? Like, what the fuck? What nobody says anything about Eli and Peyton Manning winning? They both won two Super Bowls. Nobody's like, oh man, he told Peyton, or Peyton told Eli to tell the defense about Tom Burton. No, that's not the way it works. He's on his own team. I've got my own team. Our success is totally unrelated, even if we grew up together and we're together in our draft rooms. Like you don't have anything to do with anything.

SPEAKER_03: 16:28

You don't think those guys talk about defenses and different looks? And if Peyt played against a team earlier in the year and Eli has them on the schedule, you don't think they're sharing notes?

SPEAKER_05: 16:38

No, they absolutely phone each other.

SPEAKER_03: 16:40

Okay.

SPEAKER_05: 16:40

That's that's I would imagine friends do it, though. I don't think that that's just a brother thing. I mean, people just do that in general. And you can't, and see now the big difference between those two is that in fantasy football, there's nothing that we can do to dictate that. There's been no trade that's happened that would make anyone first of all, congratulations. Because I mean, I'm not even in the he's not in it either.

SPEAKER_03: 17:03

So hey, I don't uh Rudy Giuliani is famous for a reason. He took down the mafia.

SPEAKER_05: 17:11

Uh you know that, and then he's in a lot of Adam Sandler movies.

SPEAKER_03: 17:16

And then, you know, he was part of uh Trump team part one. What was his role again?

SPEAKER_05: 17:22

He wasn't secretary of state, was he? I know he at one point his cabinet position. It was something.

SPEAKER_03: 17:30

I miss Rudy Giuliani being in the national spotlight. Why got rid of him?

SPEAKER_02: 17:39

Uh let's see. He was the associate attorney general of the United States. Really?

SPEAKER_03: 17:47

Let's see. You know, that's one rich bastard.

SPEAKER_05: 17:53

When I think of Rudy Giuliani, I think of uh Joe Pesci and Home Alone. They seem like the same type of character. Does that make any sense? And not just because they're both short and have like kind of that same haircut, but like um, they just seem like they're the same type of character. Because if you remember, since it is Christmas season, we might as well talk about that. I know we got one more show before Christmas, but obviously, I believe Home Alone 2 is the greatest Christmas movie. It's just my opinion. Don't care what anyone else has to say.

SPEAKER_03: 18:24

Hey, that's we talked about that on the Village Vets yesterday. That was uh Adrian's number one Christmas movie.

SPEAKER_05: 18:30

Yeah, Home Alone 2 for sure. Like two's great.

SPEAKER_03: 18:33

Two's like well, I know why you like two. You're your your guys on it.

SPEAKER_05: 18:37

No, it has nothing to do with it. You know what's funny? When you're younger, you didn't even know who that was, right? Like, like when the first time I'm talking about when I was a kid, I didn't know who Donald Trump was. No, but that was that was for our parents. That and then the fun fact of it is is that you know, he only agreed to be in the movie. No, he only agreed for them to use the hotel if he was in the movie because Donald Trump used to own um what's it called? Because it's not Trump Tower. I've stayed there before. Uh it's literally the Plaza Hotel. He used to own it. And um he said that they could use it as long as he's in it. And they still, to this day, by the way, because I've stayed there two or three times. Great hotel. But like it's not like it's not even the best hotel I stayed in, but it's the most expensive, no doubt. Um, to this day, they can you can still do the uh the Macaulay Culkin shit, basically. You can stay in a certain room, they automatically give you a limousine ride, pizza, and like hot fudge Sunday or something.

SPEAKER_03: 19:48

Did you do it?

SPEAKER_05: 19:49

No, fuck no. I don't have that kind of money. I didn't have that kind of money anyway. It's like at the time, I was I'll tell I don't mind sharing this. I paid per night the most expensive one of the three. Times I stay there, I paid like like, and this is with the fees and everything. I paid like$1,100 a night. Now I only stay there two nights, but there was a time where I paid eleven hundred dollars a night. No kizzy.

SPEAKER_03: 20:13

You know, there's a point where I paid eleven hundred dollars a month for rent. You know, actually, I was paying$1200.

SPEAKER_05: 20:20

Look at this.

SPEAKER_03: 20:21

I was paying$1,200 a month for mortgage in Albany.

SPEAKER_05: 20:25

Really?

SPEAKER_03: 20:26

Yeah. Oh, yeah,$6-7.

SPEAKER_05: 20:28

Yeah. Said say six seven. We appreciate the uh viewership, Bailey.

SPEAKER_03: 20:33

But uh yeah, hey guys, give us more comments and and we'll do whatever you tell us to.

SPEAKER_05: 20:38

Well, I don't know about that. This isn't an OnlyFans.

SPEAKER_03: 20:42

I didn't mean like that, you freak.

SPEAKER_05: 20:44

What's it called? Chat roulette? What's that shit? Those pop-ups when you go to porn that pop up. I don't know like these nasty whores that are like doing whatever you tell them to do.

SPEAKER_02: 20:53

We're not doing all that, but why masturbate alone?

SPEAKER_05: 20:56

Yeah, that type of shit. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03: 20:58

Um well, because I've already clicked his video, I've lubed up and I'm rocked up. I'm not waiting.

SPEAKER_05: 21:06

Yeah. Yeah, get on omegle if you want to just be not jacking off alone.

SPEAKER_03: 21:12

But um, who wants to jerk off with company?

SPEAKER_05: 21:17

I don't know, but I'm saying just in general, well, just get on omegle. What's meagle? You know omegle. O-M-E-O-M no omg E-L-E. No, I haven't gotten it.

SPEAKER_03: 21:31

Omegle. No idea.

SPEAKER_05: 21:33

This is how I know. You really you don't know what Omegle is?

SPEAKER_03: 21:36

This is my first time ever hearing it, no bullshit.

SPEAKER_05: 21:39

Okay, so Omegle is like um, we used to do it in high school. Omegle is a website where if you get on, you can get on right now. You will automatically be paired with somebody random from all around the world. Okay, and you can have a conversation with them. Most of the time, it's a bunch of dudes just jerking off, waiting to see like a chick. Like, seriously, if you get on right now, there's a out of the first five slides that you go through, it's like uh uh what's the shit used to be called?

SPEAKER_03: 22:07

Oh, like the chat rooms back in the day, or yeah, that is what it is.

SPEAKER_05: 22:11

It's a chat room, but it's like Skype, right? But random.

SPEAKER_03: 22:18

Now, now you can definitely back in the day, you could definitely uh uh choke the chicken on Skype.

SPEAKER_05: 22:25

Well, but that wasn't random, though. You had to be like friends with people for that. But on there, on there, it's it's it's totally random. Like you can run into any type of that. I mean, it's like anything, you know.

SPEAKER_03: 22:38

Like I'm never doing that.

SPEAKER_05: 22:41

I mean, you shouldn't.

SPEAKER_03: 22:42

I mean, I couldn't imagine just opening up my my phone and I'm looking at William over here jerking it, waiting for Becky. Yeah, yeah, like that's gross. We were talking about Sharon Moore speaking of somebody jerking it for Becky.

SPEAKER_05: 23:06

He was doing a little bit more than jerking it for Becky.

SPEAKER_03: 23:08

He was well, he was jerking off his career for Becky, yeah.

SPEAKER_05: 23:12

Well, he was truly trying to choke the chicken out of her, you know, like that type of stuff.

SPEAKER_03: 23:16

He's raw dogging it. Yeah. Like your boy, you know, hard on a rah-rack guy.

SPEAKER_05: 23:25

What do you think of Raw? Maybe we should just get into the foul.

SPEAKER_03: 23:28

See, I know we're kind of bouncing all over the place here, but you know, I just think we should, you know, but hold on. There's a reason behind that one, I'll tell you later. Um, but I just think we should just kind of let this this puppy flow because we're I think we should just raw dog this episode kind of like Raheem just raw dogs it every every fucking week. Uh like he's raw dogged his career with the Falcons, you know.

SPEAKER_05: 23:54

You gotta edit that title too. You you missed an A in the second raw.

SPEAKER_03: 23:59

I did.

SPEAKER_05: 23:59

Yeah, I'm looking at it right now. You have another raw Rh guy. Come on, Lee. We're trying to run a program here.

SPEAKER_03: 24:07

Man, look, I'm I'm not sitting close and I can't see because like I don't have on my actual well, take your glasses off, then asswipe. No, I mean like my prescription glasses as fuck.

SPEAKER_05: 24:34

Hey, well. But well, since we are kind of just gonna flow with this, um we were on Home Alone 2 being the best movie. I forgot why I brought up uh because of Joe Pesci and his uh comparison to um who was it? I don't even remember, but yeah, great great best home alone, no doubt, that we've ever had. Uh best Christmas movie, rather. Not just best home alone. Oh, you can't even hear a word I'm saying. I just was sitting here talking and I forgot that you didn't have your headphones in.

SPEAKER_03: 25:21

Oh man, what'd you say?

SPEAKER_05: 25:24

Well, I was saying, well, since we're we are just basically kind of raw raw dogging it, that I was like, I guess we were talking about home alone and how I said it was the best, and then you said on Village Vets it was uh Adrian's favorite as well, right? Yeah, yeah. I can you think well, I mean, what would be yours? Since you I didn't realize you guys talked about this yesterday. I didn't realize you were on. I normally get a notification. I didn't get a notification this time.

SPEAKER_03: 25:48

Come on, YouTube, get it together. Uh, what did we talk about yesterday? Uh I mean, what what where am I? I think uh I had Home Alone.

SPEAKER_05: 25:55

No, I'm saying what was your Christmas movie?

SPEAKER_03: 25:56

Yeah, uh I had Home Alone one, Home Alone Two, uh Friday after next, and I guess that is a Christmas movie too, but like and then I had Jingle and Jingle all the way, I think. I think those are like in my top four. Oh no, I had one of those uh like the year without a Christmas, you know. I Mr.

SPEAKER_02: 26:20

I sickle, I'm Mr. Snowboo-boom boo boom, I'm Mr. Code Miser, I'm Mr. Timby Lu. Oh, yeah, I love that movie.

SPEAKER_05: 26:30

You don't like um the one I was thinking more so you don't like um Frosty the Snowman or like uh uh Frosty the Grinch, obviously, like with Jim Carrey. I know a lot of people love that movie.

SPEAKER_02: 26:47

The Grinch is cool.

SPEAKER_05: 26:48

I I like um Ate Crazy Nights by Adam Saylor, the animated one.

SPEAKER_02: 26:54

Yeah, I like uh uh Flintstone's Christmas Carol.

SPEAKER_03: 26:58

Okay, I like uh Yogi's Christmas. Okay. Uh I like a lot of kids' Christmas movies, honestly.

SPEAKER_05: 27:06

I'm really The Little Drummer Boy.

SPEAKER_03: 27:09

Nah, I was never I was never a big fan of that one.

SPEAKER_05: 27:12

Uh what's the one with Scrooge?

SPEAKER_03: 27:14

Christmas Carol.

SPEAKER_05: 27:16

Okay. You know, we I'm sure did y'all get to uh see that at the Fox, like uh for like um field trip. Yeah, like a field trip.

SPEAKER_03: 27:23

We probably went and saw it at uh the grand theater in downtown Cartersville. I mean that's fine too. There is a I think I might start going to shows there sometimes.

SPEAKER_05: 27:35

It's a cool hobby to pick up. Uh be kind of like when we went and saw uh and Ocho.

SPEAKER_03: 27:45

Yeah, I think uh I think it'll help me like grow my uh Cartersfield network, you know.

SPEAKER_05: 27:53

That and then it's just like if somebody like is like, well, what are you up to? It's like man, I'm I'm headed to the theater tonight. You know, as opposed to, oh, I'm about to go get some beer and wings or something, you know. It's like no, I'm headed to the theater.

SPEAKER_03: 28:09

What you going to see? You going to the movies? No, no, the theater. Yeah, watch a show live. You know, not not not only fans, but like sex.

SPEAKER_05: 28:21

Well, you know, you ask them, you know, are you one of those I like art type girls?

SPEAKER_03: 28:28

Yeah, I don't know where you find those women at in Cartersville. The veil. You know what? I know there are some women who are into those things around here. I just wonder where they're at and if I'd be like comfortable being seen in public with them.

SPEAKER_05: 28:47

The the the hoes were laughing. I ain't excuse me. You didn't know you don't get the reference? Uh I was doing Dr. Phil.

SPEAKER_03: 29:06

I don't remember that one.

SPEAKER_05: 29:08

He he said it to uh what's her face before she said um his mouth up. Yeah, that's what he literally had. He's like he's like the the the hoes were laughing.

SPEAKER_03: 29:18

Uh you know, she recently posted something letting y'all know she uh she's still thick.

SPEAKER_05: 29:24

She's still thick or she paid to get thick.

SPEAKER_03: 29:26

Well, I think she paid to get thick a long time ago, and she was just reminding y'all that she paid to get thick a long time ago.

SPEAKER_05: 29:32

To me, it looked like she was saying I paid to get even more thick. That's what it looked like.

SPEAKER_03: 29:38

Oh, you saw it too?

SPEAKER_05: 29:39

Yeah, I I saw the photo. You know Twitter, man. You know how that stuff works.

SPEAKER_03: 29:43

Oh, I figured you subscribe to her page.

SPEAKER_05: 29:45

No, no, no, it was on Twitter.

SPEAKER_03: 29:47

You helped make her rich.

SPEAKER_05: 29:49

Black Twitter, you know. I still I get black Twitter notifications. It's not it's basically nothing but that sports, food, porn. No porn. Um every now and then I'll see a fat ass or two, you know, that'll cross by. And so like I'm you know, bro.

SPEAKER_03: 30:06

I my algorithm is getting like whacked out right now. On Twitter or IG or both? IG. Uh I think it's because of some of that close friends material I've been posting. It's like really whacking out the algorithm.

SPEAKER_05: 30:24

So basically it's just a bunch of don't hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

SPEAKER_03: 30:29

Close friends for a reason, buddy.

SPEAKER_05: 30:32

Oh, well, I'll be quiet.

SPEAKER_03: 30:34

But uh hey, funny thing about that, Zoe responded to uh one of them was like, so this is just a thing now. I'm like, you ignore these posts. You're supposed to just see the political stuff that I'm not gonna share with the rest of the world, even though Meta has it and can share it with the world whenever they want to.

SPEAKER_05: 30:55

No, you could just say you could just be like, what like what thing?

SPEAKER_03: 31:01

Like, I think she's like the only uh well, she's like, what are you talking about? I think she's like the only plus one that actually is is on the close friends.

SPEAKER_05: 31:14

Well, that would make sense. Do you follow Carly? Yeah, okay.

SPEAKER_03: 31:20

But I mean, you haven't really no, I haven't had that many interactions, no, no, and and still, you know, like that's I thought about creating a close friends, I've never had one, and that way I could post a little bit more regularly.

SPEAKER_05: 31:35

Not that I'm just this mysterious nigga that's never on IG, but like I don't post anything, so it's like but I could like do more daily year-ish stuff if I created one.

SPEAKER_03: 31:45

Well, yeah, because I like to get my honest takes off in the close friends, and I don't know if you remember this back uh when I used to do the show by myself. I literally would like build my show off of the most interactive story posts throughout the week.

SPEAKER_05: 32:01

Really?

SPEAKER_03: 32:02

Yeah. I mean, you know, what do the people like what do people care about?

SPEAKER_05: 32:07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03: 32:08

Or what like chum can I throw in the water and see if it like gets a response? Because that's really what I'm doing. I'm just throwing chum underwater.

SPEAKER_05: 32:17

What type of bait are we talking about here, Lee? Sounds like you're trying to talk about a bunch of bait. Like you're saying, all right, man, I'm gonna throw this bait out there.

SPEAKER_02: 32:24

Well, yeah, I mean it just depends on the.

SPEAKER_05: 32:28

What's the real reason you have an Instagram? To connect with my friends. Shut the fuck up. You talk, Nikki. You can text call your friends, you got a group chat for friends. What do you have IG for?

SPEAKER_03: 32:40

To stay connected to my friends because I communicate with most of the people that I communicate with, we communicate most often on IG.

SPEAKER_05: 32:49

That doesn't have anything to do with what you have it for. If there were no hoes on IG, you wouldn't have an Instagram. And it's true, it's okay. I can admit it. I wouldn't have an Instagram if there weren't hoes.

SPEAKER_03: 33:02

I mean, no, uh why why would I do that? Yeah. And you know, that's a funny thing. Like a girl was trying to tell me that more uh more men would go to WNBA games, more women would go to WNBA games if the men went, because women go where the men go, and I'm like, nah, nah, baby.

SPEAKER_05: 33:19

That's a fucking lie.

SPEAKER_03: 33:20

No, no, no, no, no. Because trust and believe, if a nigga could chill in the house, if a nigga could chill at his house, at his nigga's house, uh pretty much every day, and the hoes were around at either one of them places, wouldn't go anywhere else.

SPEAKER_05: 33:36

There's no straight women at WNBA games. It's gay women and probably gay men as well, and straight men. That's who goes to the games. The LBGTQ Plus community and men that do just honestly, like you know, like uh uh Wayne, like you know, like these are the type of people that will go to a WNBA game. I planned to I've been to a WMBA game, I'm sure you have too. Like, I actually haven't, but I planned to really never you never went to one dream game, like even when we were in school? No, they didn't give out free tickets on campus. Yeah, they did because we got some. We went, we nigga, we went to game five of the WNBA finals when it was only a five-game series. We went to game fucking five, and we got free tickets, and I promise you we sat in like roji. And we got and it was six, it was six of us. We got six free tickets, not two, not four, six.

SPEAKER_03: 34:40

That's the biggest game of the year. Literally, yeah, it gets no bigger than that. They gave y'all six high-end tickets to go to the game. I promise you, yeah. And you're again, like I said, when I go up there, call Julian, call it. No, no, no. I know the story, we know the story, but I'm just saying, they gave y'all those premium tickets to go to the game, and you're wondering why I haven't spent my hard-earned money to go to a regular season game.

SPEAKER_05: 35:08

Well, the league's a little different today. I mean, we got to see Skylar Diggins. Uh little Lil Wayne was uh there. Obviously, I think he was kind of a big fan of hers too, because I'm pretty sure he was like wearing a jersey. Yeah, I want to say that they played uh man, it wasn't Maya Moore. Maybe Maya Moore was. I don't remember if it was Minnesota. I forgot who played. I know that Skylar Diggins was there, that's all I remember. But because obviously everybody was, you know, yeah, very much so infatuated with her.

SPEAKER_03: 35:36

But uh, she also would be down there. I'm sure. No, because one of her teammates uh who's one of one of her teammates at Notre Dame is from the east side.

SPEAKER_05: 35:52

I'm gonna have to type this in because I want to see it. Hold on. I want to remember who was playing.

SPEAKER_03: 35:58

Um keep going. And I was just gonna tell this weird story about how uh my nigga Adrian and Boink have a mutual friend.

SPEAKER_05: 36:08

Okay, it was Maya Moore. That's what I figured.

SPEAKER_03: 36:11

Yeah, my more came home.

SPEAKER_05: 36:14

Yeah, it was um I wanna was it because they played them twice, is what it is. They played them twice in 2011, 13. I think it was 13.

SPEAKER_02: 36:25

It was 13.

SPEAKER_05: 36:27

So because all right, so because what it was was uh uh uh what's her face, she was at the game with Lil Wayne, yeah. Is what it was. She wasn't playing, she was at the game. Yeah, uh, I'm pretty sure it was 13 because yeah, I'm looking at this too. Simone Augustus, I was a huge fan of hers at LSU. Um, I couldn't even tell you. No, no, no, no, no. It had to have been 11. It was 11. It wasn't it wasn't it wasn't 13, it was 11.

SPEAKER_03: 36:57

Okay, it's the WNBA. Let's it's not that important. Yeah, it was uh No, no, no, it was 13. It was 13. Yeah, yeah, nigga, I know it's 13. I remember y'all going to the game. Yeah, well no, I'm cuz all right, either way. Yeah, I'm just yeah. Um I uh well yeah, no, I'm gonna go to I'm gonna go to some dream games this year because you know, like I I I should have a job this this year during the WNBA season so I can you know spend money to go watch a game.

SPEAKER_05: 37:30

Yeah. Well, you don't even have to have a job to go to one of those.

SPEAKER_03: 37:34

Well, to sit where I want to sit, you do.

SPEAKER_05: 37:37

Well, yeah, if you want your feet on the wood, but at that point, just uh you come, you kidding.

SPEAKER_03: 37:45

You know, uh you get Hey speaking of my close friends, uh feet on the wood.

SPEAKER_05: 37:56

Well, I'm assuming that that wasn't what Zo was talking about.

SPEAKER_03: 38:00

God no other stuff. Yeah, yeah, no.

SPEAKER_05: 38:04

The stuff that starts with an M.

SPEAKER_03: 38:08

Who a stallion?

SPEAKER_05: 38:10

No, a pig. That stuff. That that that some people could take as you being an M.

SPEAKER_03: 38:20

Oh. A misogynist?

SPEAKER_06: 38:24

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03: 38:25

Oh no, no, no, no. She was she was responding to like asking, like, what's up with your king? Like, why don't you keep posting this?

SPEAKER_05: 38:33

Oh, so she was talking about that then.

SPEAKER_03: 38:35

Yes. Oh. Like, like are you gonna just keep posting this every day? And it's like, hey, you ignore that.

SPEAKER_05: 38:43

This is he's like, like, you should have been like, he's like, why don't you go worry about your husband? Because no, because then she'd be like, is there something I need to be worried about? And that because that's a Zo type response, and it's like, have you seen his close friends? I was like, it's it's right. He's like, it's worse than not. What close friends? He doesn't have a close friend, he doesn't even post it on Instagram, and then you'll get a phone call not too shortly after and be like, you know, and I oh no, this is me doing my boy impression. Adam, what'd you tell Zo?

SPEAKER_03: 39:19

That's how it would go. And he'd just be like, Why? Like, I I don't really care, but like you you realize that I have to sleep with her every night.

SPEAKER_05: 39:28

Yeah, like and she's pregnant, like oh yeah, then yeah, and then you add that into the oh, you better not have just spilt some beans that shouldn't have been spilled. No they don't care that this I she hasn't made no official announcement, so that's why I was saying it. Oh. See? This is what Todd was talking about. Just putting shit out there, man. Now now you get now now either that or you gotta you gotta halt production. On these clips. You gotta go through. You gotta actually, once they're created, you pick and choose what it gets, folks.

SPEAKER_03: 40:06

You know. Oh, I I have to stand on my word, huh?

SPEAKER_05: 40:10

Hey, that's what it sound like to me.

SPEAKER_03: 40:13

I mean, yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 40:20

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05: 40:20

Um she might be trying to do a big reveal.

SPEAKER_02: 40:25

Huh?

SPEAKER_05: 40:26

Said she might be trying to do a big reveal. You gotta remember when we were I guess maybe I should just stop talking about it, but it's not like people when the last time they saw her publicly, you could tell. But it was I mean, I kind of could, because I asked her a question when she was here, and I was like, hmm. I said, I said, you like spindra? She wanted water, she wanted literally, and then that's when she was getting ready to do it. I knew that she knew that I was on to her because I was just like, uh, what's the guy from Dexter, the black guy that they use as a meme? Now that's basically kind of how I looked at it. I said, I said, so you want spindriff? And then when she said, I was like, I was like, yeah, I'm a huge fan of spindrift, she's like, Oh, she's like, nah, I don't really like it. I was like, well then why do you want it? And I was like, okay.

SPEAKER_03: 41:12

So when they were here uh for Labor Day, and like that's all she was drinking, and when it later told me, like she was like, Adam, I wasn't drinking.

SPEAKER_05: 41:26

Wasn't that a dead giveaway?

SPEAKER_03: 41:28

I was like, not really, because it's like maybe you just but you know, I know that she does drink, so I don't pay attention to what my friends' wives drink because I don't care what they do.

SPEAKER_05: 41:41

That's none of your business. But like Yeah, like I'm not gonna be able to do it. But you know, but you know, I saw them that weekend too. No, you didn't. Yeah, I did. We went uh I know, I know. Yeah, we went to Pizza Cafe, and like I did like, I guess I just didn't think twice about it. Because I actually what it is is I kept asking her. I was like, I was like, you don't because Boynt got a beer, and then I'm like, well, you don't want to drink? See, this is gonna definitely get clipped up too, by the way. Because they're gonna be like friends talking about beer, or like this is gonna get clipped up. You gotta catch it. You better catch it.

SPEAKER_03: 42:18

I will review when when I when I schedule. Well, now Instagram has uh Instagram and TikTok has blocked the book, the book scheduling. It violates their community guidelines.

SPEAKER_05: 42:31

I mean that's fine as long as it queues them up. You can I hate to say you can go through all of them.

SPEAKER_03: 42:36

Yeah, I'm gonna have to.

SPEAKER_05: 42:37

You kind of can, yeah, and then just pick and choose, like, yeah, this is the same.

SPEAKER_03: 42:40

Well, I'm all yeah, I'm off the next three days, so I'll get everything like manually scheduled.

SPEAKER_05: 42:44

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03: 42:47

Oh, yeah, I can do that for the other show too, because we did record yesterday. Uh, dude, I don't know.

SPEAKER_05: 42:52

I was gonna say I didn't I thought I thought you guys were almost done. Again, I haven't been getting the notifications, so that's what I was like. I was like, You recorded, I didn't know you recorded yesterday.

SPEAKER_03: 43:00

Man, you know, just different scheduling conflicts, things popping up, you know, and it's tough sometimes.

SPEAKER_05: 43:09

We need to get the culturally inappropriate with uh AC League going.

SPEAKER_03: 43:13

We're gonna get there soon.

SPEAKER_05: 43:14

So that so that uh I know we had spoken about it not to be like a spoiler, but I can do the first person you interview. And yeah, but like I can't wait, especially once this is over. I've got a story to tell.

SPEAKER_03: 43:26

Okay, but yeah, I gotta uh I I uh what am I gonna do? I wanna have like a a set, like I think I want that show to look more like uh Steve's show.

SPEAKER_05: 43:42

So you wouldn't shoot it in there then, obviously. No. You would go into an office type room. See, your office in Albany fits probably more of what.

SPEAKER_03: 43:51

Yeah, because it was so large, I could actually if I had this camera there, I could have a village vet set, a culturally inappropriate set, and a washing winning set all in that same big ass room. All I'm doing is just changing where I'm sitting, and it looks like a totally different, it looks totally different. So I've got to figure out where I'm gonna record it or how I want to do it because I I want to have guests and interviews too. So I I don't want these people coming to my house because I don't I don't want it to be that type of even feel.

SPEAKER_05: 44:26

Did did I tell you that um me and uh Tony Realli are um LinkedIn?

SPEAKER_03: 44:35

Well, he like accepted it?

SPEAKER_05: 44:37

Yeah, he's only got 23 connections. Oh wow. So I could like easily message him and he would like respond. Well, he accepted the connection though. So we're first uh connections, but I because what I did was when I told you that when they had done the thing, I was like, What he was doing it with like you know, freelance slash non. I was like, oh, I need to figure it out. I haven't messaged him. I can low key message him right now while we're on air, but like uh Tony on there.

SPEAKER_03: 45:08

I was thinking about you, man. Hey, what come on this new show, dude?

SPEAKER_05: 45:11

I want to come on this new show. I'm a big big fan of yours, obviously. I was like, I grew up on you, which I'm sure you hear that a lot, that you hear that from a lot of different people. But we come from such a sports-hungry uh city. Because Atlanta, to me, I know that he started having people on there. The dude that kind of is at the paper, uh Harry Lyles. I know that his shit would be Atlanta, but like for the longest, it felt like Atlanta was never represented on that show. And even with him, he's not who I think of when I think of the AJC. I think of Terrence Moore, obviously.

SPEAKER_02: 45:45

Like, he's like kind of Terrence Moore was on there before, wasn't he?

SPEAKER_05: 45:48

He but Spotty. And I'm talking, like, if you look it up, he might have been on there three times. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, he wasn't, but he's the Atlanta sports rider. Him, and then there's now uh what's his face? He's been covering the Falcons for a minute. Uh uh the black guy, what's his damn name?

SPEAKER_03: 46:05

Um, I don't read a lot of Falcons me.

SPEAKER_05: 46:10

He's on 92.9 a lot, like him, but like outside of that, there's not because you know, but but the thing is, and that's why I I and it's not over because we're still young enough to continue to do it. I'm surprised you didn't do journalism instead of business. Now it makes some sense to do business, obviously, but like you can get your master's in journalism, or like uh I didn't because the family.

SPEAKER_03: 46:39

Yeah, I mean that ground.

SPEAKER_05: 46:42

Everything's a business too. So, like an NBA kind of can fit almost in any yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_03: 46:46

But the the thing was with the journalism, I wasn't gonna do that online because bro, you gotta go meet your professors, meet your classmates, and all of that stuff. Yeah, and whatever that first job looked like, it probably wasn't gonna look great.

SPEAKER_05: 47:03

But you could have did it, you could have low-key did it and like did it in Albany. Oh, bro, I wouldn't have made shit. I know, but you would have covered like Albany State and I don't know what else is there. You could have done the high school papers. Yeah, like Deerfield, Windsor, and shit. Bro, what I'm gonna make 13,000. I mean, is it a full-time job in reality? Yes.

SPEAKER_03: 47:27

I looked at some of those jobs.

SPEAKER_05: 47:29

They paying you 250 a week.

SPEAKER_03: 47:33

They paid around about 40, 45 a year, like those entry, some of those entry-level jobs into a media. Well, broadcast was 40, 45. I didn't want to cover all Benny, but you know what? I probably should have because I could have found me a football player out of Lee County who would have got me out of here.

SPEAKER_05: 47:54

Yeah. He could have been become a modern day uh Rich Paul, huh? Which let's get on that bastard too.

SPEAKER_03: 48:02

Nah, I would have been a modern day Wendy. I just wouldn't have been a fat fuck.

SPEAKER_05: 48:07

Yeah, but you could have been Rich Paul as well.

SPEAKER_03: 48:11

Oh, the guy who talks too much, yeah.

SPEAKER_05: 48:13

Smooth talker, you fuck a dill. Like, I mean, shit like that, yeah.

SPEAKER_03: 48:18

I mean, the guy we probably can throw in the box with those New Yorkers.

SPEAKER_05: 48:23

Yeah, because I'm guessing is he from Ohio too? I know that they said that he met here. They you know that they met at uh Hartsville. Because apparently, or no, or maybe they didn't meet at Hartsville, but because the jersey is what sparked it, he said that he was getting his jerseys from here. Nigga was going to Lennox and fucking uh South Decad Mall. South Decad Mall used to have the most elite selection of jerseys, like literally. And I told you, we would go we would go there and um not Circuit City, you know what I'm talking about. Value Value City used to have a quiet man when we were over there going practice at the sporting club. My mom, I'm telling you, half the time we're playing basketball with Jordan and Collin. The other half, if my mom's like she's going to Value City, man, we picking out polos, we picking out fucking jerseys, the whole nine.

SPEAKER_03: 49:15

But let's get back to Rich Paul.

SPEAKER_05: 49:18

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03: 49:19

Yeah, Rich Paul. Rich Paul's a hustler from Cleveland who got linked up with the right person and got out of here. You know, he's not much different like at his beginnings than uh uh Ace Bailey's old agent. Same type of guy.

SPEAKER_05: 49:41

I I think their mentality's the same. I don't know if they're the same. No, I'm just saying. That nigga thinks he's Jay-Z. No, but maybe Murch Pollard thinks he's kind of like Jay-Z too.

SPEAKER_03: 49:51

I'm saying like they're they're they're upright, they're they're their roots, like where they their origin story.

SPEAKER_05: 49:56

Okay.

SPEAKER_03: 49:58

You know, the the hustler who you know.

SPEAKER_05: 50:05

Brother, but you know, this is what I will do. I won't knock that hustle anymore. No, not at all. Not because we see it working out for certain people. It worked out for him pretty early because he ran into LeBron James. But there's a guy I know, his kid you not, his name's Barry White. Barry is the manager or and was the manager of both uh YSL Woody and who's the nigga he had beef with.

SPEAKER_03: 50:32

Charleston White?

SPEAKER_05: 50:34

Yes, he used to manage both of them niggas. Dead, dead. Now, how do I know? Barry read it from my dad like a very long time. So like I have Barry's number, like I know Barry, but like I know him because he had this clothing line like that he was trying to push on us called Black Lips. And obviously, you never forget a nigga's name when his name is Barry White, because you're like, nigga, your name's Barry White. Like, you know what I mean? It's like when you meet a Michael Jordan, right? Like or a Michael Jackson or something.

SPEAKER_03: 51:06

Nigga, why don't you get us a Charleston interview for the low?

SPEAKER_05: 51:11

I'm curious. I don't see, I don't know what that would cost in real. I don't know. I mean, he might be willing to do the favor, low-key. Seriously. I look, I used to property manage, and so that nigga, no, I'm not to throw his business out there. I'm glad he's doing well now. But I mean, he'd be late with his renner, like, you know what I'm saying? Like, man, I would almost have to file evictions on a nigga. No, but that's a part of his story, so I'm sure like he wouldn't necessarily mind me saying that it's the truth. Like, and that's okay. He's not there, he's not in that space anymore. Yeah, that's the point. That's why you can look back and laugh at it now, which is why I want to be your first interview. Because I will, I'm gonna honestly give you the most personal interview ever.

SPEAKER_03: 51:51

I'm looking forward to it.

SPEAKER_05: 51:53

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03: 51:54

You know, but we're not gonna send a car for you.

SPEAKER_05: 51:58

Nah, well, we we don't need that. I think that we do need to do it at either that studio I sent you where we could start running, which hopefully once by the time you do get down here, we either do move to that, or but things could change so drastically within that spot where we just have a place to record.

SPEAKER_03: 52:15

I mean, we could do it here, but like and the and depending uh depending on where I live, like there may be a more intentional focus on a room that's dedicated to being a studio, like like at the beginning, with different furniture and not making everything fit into that room, but okay, this is gonna be the studio room. This is what the studio is gonna look like and build it out that way.

SPEAKER_05: 52:47

I want the legit cameras and shit, like you know what I mean, like not just a tripod, but like something that catches the focuses in, focuses in on you, but then gets the wide shot uh portrait or whatever. Yeah, like yeah, I I I want to yeah, like I want it to look like a hurt bay interview, you know what I mean? Yeah, like how they did that with them, yeah.

SPEAKER_03: 53:07

Like like the in-person stuff, like once we actually start doing things in person. Uh I I yeah, I want to have you have your camera, I have my camera, we have our wide, our wide shot camera grabbing everything. Yeah, uh, and it looks like a fucking production, you know? Yeah, that's in due time.

SPEAKER_05: 53:27

Yeah, in due time, though.

SPEAKER_03: 53:29

What were we talking about?

SPEAKER_05: 53:31

A lot. A lot. We didn't even really get on the Falcons, so let's just start here.

SPEAKER_02: 53:35

Uh who cares about them?

SPEAKER_05: 53:37

Well, we know it's it's worth talking about. Okay. Go ahead and we did win. Yeah, and just go ahead and play the music. Because we did win.

SPEAKER_04: 53:46

Uh oh.

SPEAKER_05: 53:53

And rise up, they did. Yeah. Uh some would say refer reverse fortunes because of what happened this week in football in general. Third and 28, ironically. Kyle Pitts gets what, maybe 15 yards or something on the first. But you convert off of a third and 28 and the Steelers blow a 21-point lead. I don't know how much more is it was the curse reversed this week? What do you think?

SPEAKER_03: 54:24

Like, you know, I was really only watching that Falcons game for uh Tampa Bay's offense.

SPEAKER_05: 54:35

Yeah, because you're you're a fantasy football snob these days. Uh you know, and that happens when you earn it, when you earn the right to be able to say, I'm one of the last two people that gives a fuck about what's going on in fantasy football. That's an honor. Well, when this is your second championship appearance, yes. So this will be interesting. We get a new champion. I'm excited.

SPEAKER_03: 54:57

Yeah, so you know, when you have one team playing and their offense's production can lead to you making money versus another team that's playing for nothing and has taken a lot of money from you and has not delivered you a playoff birth.

SPEAKER_05: 55:20

No joy either. No, you something just a personal satisfaction, like fuck money and everything. Just a personal yeah, I feel good about this.

SPEAKER_03: 55:29

No, like there's never been a season as a season Falcon season ticket holder where I walked into games and walked out of games all year feeling good. No, usually left pissed off because we lost a lot of home games. It happens, doesn't it? At the end of the game. A lot. But uh so no man, shout out to the Falcons. Uh I like that the team is still fighting and caring and like having some professional pride. Uh 19 penalties. Yeah, because their coach is out there raw dogging it, man.

SPEAKER_05: 56:08

Well, he's out there kissing Whitworth. He's uh once once once a kick finally does go our way, he's you know, looking at the camera and saying something. I don't even couldn't even tell what he mouthed, but like either way, basically kind of this cockiness. And I'm sure for him, he got fired by Tampa, so he enjoys beating them, probably just a tad bit more than any other team, right? Because he that was his former employer. Um, but and and it does the only thing that non-playoff teams can do now to get hype is play spoiler to a team. And to a degree, it felt like we did because for what three days at least the Panthers were in first place of the division, technically. So yeah, and then they lost to the Saints in dramatic fashion. That I was on the phone with Gambles earlier today, which he asked me, he said, do I think that um I told him I was gonna bring this up. Did I think that you who did uh who did I think was gonna win?

SPEAKER_03: 57:13

I mean it's close. He beat the, you know, like it's close. Like I looked at it today and like I think I'm gonna get like three more points for them this week, like all based off projections.

SPEAKER_05: 57:30

Well, I think that Quinn Ewers being named the quarterback hurts you a little, in my opinion. Uh, because although they're gonna want to run the ball, everybody's gonna know that they're gonna want to run the ball. And then we just don't know how, yeah. I think tight ends and running backs are beneficiaries of rookie quarterbacks because they can either check down or hot route kind of their like tight ends. So there's that, but I also think that now there's not really much of a threat, like the running aspect of it. Like you're gonna almost rely on him like a receiver, and obviously, he's a big part of why you're where you are in reality, and so um remember though, he's got the way that's going.

SPEAKER_02: 58:13

I was like, ooh, and he got C Rice and Kelsey.

SPEAKER_05: 58:16

Yeah, I know. He taught he brought that up, but he's also got Drake London coming back this week, and so it's like, well what does that mean? I think it means a lot.

SPEAKER_03: 58:24

Kirk Cousins is gonna throw him the ball. That's what that means. I mean, he he might, but he might keep throwing it to Kyle Pitts.

SPEAKER_05: 58:31

Well, it's gonna open up for somebody, one way or another. But his biggest thing is he's got Josh Allen and Drake May to a degree. I mean, they're both ranked one and two respectively.

SPEAKER_02: 58:41

Drake May's number two fantasy quarterback.

SPEAKER_03: 58:43

It's crazy, right?

SPEAKER_05: 58:44

Yeah, I don't know, but he is.

SPEAKER_03: 58:47

Like I look at his stats today because you know, Bill Simmons made his quarterback period.

SPEAKER_05: 58:52

He runs a lot, man. He scored two running touchdowns last week.

SPEAKER_03: 58:56

Okay. Okay. Okay, that makes sense then. Because, you know, I don't watch the Patriots. They don't come on well, I don't watch the one o'clock window at all anymore, but yeah, I'm not really watching Drake May, but when I looked at his numbers, I'm like, Bill Simmons, how do you have him as a top three quarterback in the league?

SPEAKER_05: 59:20

Well, fancy-wise, he certainly is. I think he's number one on deep throws. And you gotta remember, he's got kind of a password receiving core. The nigga had a throw for 300 yards.

SPEAKER_03: 59:30

No, no, no, he had to throw had a 300 yard game all season.

SPEAKER_05: 59:33

Yeah, but he's gone for like 250 plus two every time. So it's no, he hasn't.

SPEAKER_03: 59:38

No, bro, but look it up. Look it up.

SPEAKER_05: 59:40

Well, regardless, the point is he scores. He's scoring.

SPEAKER_03: 59:44

But he's not a top three. All I'm saying is he's not a top three quarterback in the league. I'm not even talking about fantasy.

SPEAKER_05: 59:49

Oh, no, I'm talking about fantasy. That's what I'm talking about.

SPEAKER_03: 59:51

I'm talking about Bill Simmons having him as a top three quarterback. I'm not arguing about fantasy points. Like that that's real data. That's not opinion.

SPEAKER_05: 1:00:03

I'd have to look at it. I have not looked at his uh statistics, but what I do know is he's not a top three quarterback in the league. I mean, I agree, but the point is, regardless, he's got Josh Allen and Saquon Barkley with a somewhat soft schedule. And so, granted, the Eagles clench uh playoff berth with one more win and they win the division. So, but remember, there's still three weeks left, and we're not playing into week 17, so it's our week 18 rather.

SPEAKER_03: 1:00:33

And so just tell me you're picking gambles. That's fine.

SPEAKER_05: 1:00:38

No, I do think he's gonna win. It's just cheerily based off of no. Well, if you just look at the teams, I think that he's got a better team because Justin Jefferson, again, he's been non-existent for you. And then again, the A-chan thing, that change it does. It changes things. Like, I don't care what you say. I mean, I hear you. As that is too man, he gives that nigga the ball.

SPEAKER_02: 1:01:02

I I get it.

SPEAKER_03: 1:01:03

You know, I just it's it's just you know it's not the guy, the guy, the guy beats you, and it's like, oh yeah, this guy has a better team, but you know, doesn't have a better record. But it's fine.

SPEAKER_05: 1:01:15

Well, you both beat me um for what it's worth. Now, albeit you want to fumble, but um and and a monster fucking week from H. Hm giving you 37.

SPEAKER_02: 1:01:26

Like, I mean, come on, but I mean he's he's he's been that kind of guy all year.

SPEAKER_05: 1:01:30

I mean, yeah, I guess. Uh I'm looking at it now because I I've actually got your guys' rosters pulled up. See, you're dependent on Tony Pollard, too. Like, there's just like a lot of stuff on your you got a bad Raiders team that will always be trailing, but in some cases, don't get Brock Barrett as a ball. So it's like I don't I you're like you're starting Jordan Love in Chicago, it looks like you're gonna start that over Baker. I'm not gonna start Baker in Carolina.

SPEAKER_03: 1:01:56

I'm not I'm not committed to my lineup yet. Okay.

SPEAKER_05: 1:02:00

Now I'll say this. He's got to do something with his defense. I don't I don't know why he's got the Cardinals defense, but um Tracy had a huge game for him randomly. Yeah, he's not gonna do that. It was, and so did Olave. We talked about it. Like I said, we were on the phone today, and Olave. Yeah, I know, and uh and Olave had like 1.2 points heading into literally like six minutes left in the game. This somehow he ended up with 17 and a half points, and it's just like, all right, and so and it wasn't like it was a deep touchdown throw or um anything of that magnitude, but he's got Ramondre Stevens who, although has kind of lost his job, still fumbles. Well, he puts up decent numbers, like he can get him to nine points.

SPEAKER_03: 1:02:52

Um okay, enough of this. Can we talk about nine?

SPEAKER_05: 1:02:57

Yeah, why not?

SPEAKER_03: 1:02:58

We might as well get into it.

SPEAKER_05: 1:02:59

I mean, because we are on the subject of yeah, fantasy.

SPEAKER_03: 1:03:02

I yo nine is killing me. I know, and when you lit like I'm watching the game and listening to all of these nice things that they say about him, but he's not looking for Justin Jefferson.

SPEAKER_05: 1:03:24

How does how does the Minnesota Vikings offense score 34 points? By the way, in spots Dallas basically seven on the opening drive because of nine's interception early. How does they were down 14-7 too? Because even once they responded, like they went back down seven. How does how does a team operate and score 34 points with Justin Jefferson and he not getting the ball? Doesn't that sound just a little odd?

SPEAKER_03: 1:03:50

Like, yeah, and like he had that that drop. What was it? It should have I think it was a touchdown. Um, but he had a a drop, but you can tell he's frustrated, he's in his head, and yeah, nine looked for Addison and Rager. And no, Naylor. Naylor, whatever. Same person. But like he it's obvious he's looking for them, and it and we joke about it, but it's like, hey, do they have an issue? Like, is this something bigger than football going on over here? Because Justin Jefferson gets open. He can get open. Yeah, I mean nine, you're not even uh force feeding him, and maybe you're not being taught to force feed him. It's like, hey, go with the progression. But Justin Jefferson's not a guy who you necessarily go uh with the progression. You remember in that comeback against the Colts when he had like that one-handed catch over like three niggas? Like Kirk didn't just read the defense when he threw him the ball. No. He's like, hey, my nigga's better than yours.

SPEAKER_05: 1:05:08

I'm gonna find a way to get him the ball.

SPEAKER_03: 1:05:10

One way, one, one way or another. All I gotta do is put it in the county. He'll he'll he'll he'll he'll do the rest. So as a fantasy owner, it's just super frustrating that JJ McCarthy has so much control over what you do. And I go back to what Justice said. Justin Jefferson's gonna drop, and one of you niggas is gonna take. He dropped to four. And it's can you really leave Justin Jefferson sitting there at four? You could.

SPEAKER_05: 1:05:44

I mean, you could traded him to you, but like and I know I know you could because you're like, what is it? What were your options again? Because Bijan, Saquon, and Chase were gone. So you had any other running back, yeah. And only logical Christian McCaffrey was an high ceiling, but possibly lower floor because of the injuries. Obviously, he stayed healthy this year and probably has been, if not number one, then certainly number two in fantasy.

SPEAKER_03: 1:06:15

He's he's uh he's on my no draft list. And that makes a ton of sense. Yeah, it's just too risky for me. Like, I I I'm not if if he dropped to the last pick of the first round and I have that pick, I'll take him because I'm about to get whoever I really wanted right there, anyways. But I if I'm drafting high, I'm not taking Christian McCaffrey. I'll I'll lose that one every time.

SPEAKER_05: 1:06:45

Right.

SPEAKER_03: 1:06:46

You know what I mean? Like he's just on my no draft list. So um, but I mean, I'm saying all of this and it all worked out. Shout out to Carson Wentz.

SPEAKER_05: 1:06:58

Let it all work out.

SPEAKER_03: 1:06:59

I mean, Carson Wentz made it happen. Let it all work out. I think we're gonna listen to that wallet album, ain't he? Who ain't that what that's wrong? No, that's little Wayne. Oh no.

SPEAKER_05: 1:07:13

I'm uh with uh Samfa. Let it all work out.

SPEAKER_02: 1:07:19

It's a wallet song like that too, I'm pretty sure.

SPEAKER_05: 1:07:22

He might have sampled it. Uh because it's Sampa's song, and then he like did it as the hook for Wayne.

SPEAKER_03: 1:07:30

Talking about uh nine, another nine, it seems like uh he's about to do what the uh wasn't Carson Palmer number nine, too. He was three. Yeah, he's about to pull a Carson Palmer, huh? Who Joe Burrow?

SPEAKER_05: 1:07:51

Uh I mean, I hope so. I want him to come here, but um we don't have the draft capital because they would want to pick this year, you know, to go with it. Um get them niggas Kyle Pitts. But then you'd want to keep Kyle Pitts with him, right? No, no, no, no, no, no, no. He would have to be a piece, but you know, then they wouldn't probably be like, uh, we're getting Jalen Walker or James Pierce too. And Jalen, love you guy. Bye. Sorry, I gotta go. Well, yeah, to get Burrow, you're okay with it. But like, yeah, it'd be so much in a deal to just get him.

SPEAKER_03: 1:08:31

And that may be the thing that makes the James Pierce trade suck instead of him just being the guy we took first. Uh, because with that draft pick being good, it's we don't have the draft cap, we don't have the the trade piece if we if we were to go look for the quarterback this year, you know.

SPEAKER_05: 1:08:53

Yeah, you'd have to give up to. I'm sure Penix would probably need to be in the deal, is what oh god, yeah. Um kick that nigga out the city.

SPEAKER_03: 1:09:03

But back to the bottom of the.

SPEAKER_05: 1:09:12

I tell you what, the baseline for a trade like that is Matt Stafford, Jared Goff, right? So they gave up two firsts with golf going to Detroit, and it's like, well, obviously it worked out, I think, for both teams.

SPEAKER_03: 1:09:26

Today, but see, you can't compare those trades because the Rams were moving off of golf. Who had been to a Super Bowl who was still a decent court, he wasn't as bad as that. Yeah, but but but hold on, just just just just let me tell you just where it's kind of different. The Rams were moving off of golf, and Matthew Stafford was moving off the lions, but they were they were cool. You know what I'm saying? They were like, hey, we're gonna work with you, Matthew, to get you to where you want, to a place that you actually want to go. Whereas Joe Burrow is gonna be on some uh nigga trade me, or I'm retired. Uh so his market's gonna be depressed. Uh it's gonna be it's gonna be a lower market for Joe Burrow because of the threat of retirement. Uh so it's kind of a different uh that compensation package is gonna be high, but it could be lower than we think it is in in the few quarterback trades we've seen, is all I'm saying.

SPEAKER_00: 1:10:28

Right.

SPEAKER_03: 1:10:29

Just because it's bro, that's sad to see you know, two Heisman trophy quarterbacks like being broken down by this organization. And Joe Burrow has had you know success with this organization, went to a Super Bowl, then went to an AFC championship. And you know, uh, what was it? Jamar Chase, the first time he heard, he was like, that gotta be AI. And then he comes back and says, pretty much like, yeah, I talked to my man's. He didn't say that. He was just like, you know, give him it space. He he said the professional thing.

SPEAKER_05: 1:11:08

Joe, look, I don't think, you know, the my thing is the the one thing that I don't think anyone's really looking at is the potential of the retirement aspect of it. And he's been hurt a lot. It would be weird if he did it. And I guess because like the Andrew Luck thing is the freshest on our mind in terms of a player that retired early, especially because they do play the same position. They kind of came in the same way, being these guys that were obviously number one picks. I know that uh Andrew Luck probably had a little bit more hype because Joe Burrow just had to prove himself in one year. I'm saying I think Lucky. Andrew Luck was looked at that way prior to even his second to last year in college.

SPEAKER_03: 1:11:50

He was looked at as the next guy, but like Andrew Luck had a longer hype train and was a better prospect, you know, like high school, college to NFL.

SPEAKER_05: 1:12:01

Right.

SPEAKER_03: 1:12:03

But I I mean Joe Burrow jumped to a who was the hyped up prospect. You know what I mean? It was tank for Tua for two years, and yeah, right. Joe Burrow jumped him. But, anyways, uh sorry, back to you, Joe Burrow.

SPEAKER_05: 1:12:20

Yeah, I just I look at it from that perspective, and so like for me, that's something that nobody's really talking about. Because it sounds like more he's just especially with the game he had. I mean, he cost me a fantasy matchup, obviously. And I should have never uh handcuffed him with the kicker because they didn't score any points, so that really fucked me up. And the sad part was I wanted the 49ers kicker who ended up having 14 points, but he had an injury designation still, and I was like, oh man, a kicker coming off an injury. I don't know, because he was the higher-rated kicker, anyways, and they were playing the Titans, and I didn't do it because I said, you know what, they're playing that Ravens defense, they're at home, they should move the ball, and then he didn't, and like I didn't watch the whole game, but I saw red zone and stuff. Like I saw both of his interceptions, they were so bad, and it was like, damn, it's his like love, like um, what did Kanye say in um champion? He was like uh he said, I wish Lauren's heart was back in rhyming. He's at something, something it's in Zion. Like, you know, and so that's kind of what it felt like. It's just like, damn, like, is this nigga's heart even in it anymore? Like, he keeps getting injured, they're not winning. Maybe he's and he's all he's set, obviously. His house got broken into. They had that personal stuff about the actress or whoever the model that was at his house during, so kind of exposed that. If he did have like a girlfriend that nobody knew about, but like he had like a bat bitch in his house, or maybe that is his girlfriend, and he just didn't want that to be known.

SPEAKER_03: 1:13:53

Bro, it just doesn't matter. Like, don't tell people who the fuck was at my house. My mom was here. I don't care if if Uber Eats was outside, nigga, don't tell nobody who was at my house.

unknown: 1:14:04

Right.

SPEAKER_03: 1:14:05

But he also lives in Cincinnati, okay, and he plays for the Bengals.

SPEAKER_05: 1:14:10

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03: 1:14:11

You know, the team that didn't want to sign their first round pick?

SPEAKER_05: 1:14:14

Yeah, the the Bengals.

SPEAKER_03: 1:14:16

You know, the team that that didn't want to pay their all-pro defensive end, you know, they said, hey, you gotta play better and we'll pay you. And he gets like 17 and a half sacks. And they're like, They said, well, the Bengals said, Trey Henderson, we're good, bro.

SPEAKER_05: 1:14:33

Texas AM DN is here. He's like, You can stay, but we're good, bro. That might be the most classic Colin clip, by the way. But go ahead, I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_03: 1:14:44

And then the Texas AM DN is like, I'm not signing that contract.

SPEAKER_05: 1:14:49

And then he isn't good. They drafted because they thought he was a freak, and we got the freak.

SPEAKER_03: 1:14:58

I I honestly think it's a combination of the organization, his injuries, the the the rot the break-in, like the guys probably burnt the fuck out, dude, and stressed and football probably was his happy place for a long time. And it's not the happy place. So when you when when your happy place isn't your happy place anymore, it probably sucks. And I know your professional like route is is different from a lot of ours, just you know, like not talking shit, like you know, you come from self-employment, small business, and stuff like that, right? Yeah, but dude, when you you can be doing a job that you like to do, but if the culture isn't great or you got a boss or you know, people over you who don't make the environment great or make or making your job more difficult, and it you can feel like they're actively making your job more difficult. You can show up and go through the motions, but that's it.

SPEAKER_05: 1:16:10

Now, for I'll say this much though, for what it's worth, there are cases, it's not the same, but like I still work for people, all right? So I mean, I know, but I but I mean like we'll make things more difficult on you too, like especially during COVID. Like they tried to they stripped it to where they're like, well, no felons, or a certain contract, no felons if they're not vaxxed, if it was like a bunch of stuff to where well, how many people do you think are you gonna find that are gonna work for$16 an hour slinging tires and they're vaxxed, they're vaxxed and right, and they're not felt, they have no rep. And it wasn't just felonies, misdemeanors, too. But it wasn't a no misdemeanor, but I had to run it by them first.

SPEAKER_03: 1:16:55

Like, hey dog, if I gotta run it by you, you should just do the whole damn thing.

SPEAKER_05: 1:16:58

Because it depended on what the misdemeanor was, basically, kind of. And so, like if it was like a petty theft or like Yeah, but DUI, like they were like, But see, I'm more so talking about a or obviously anything domestic is always to know, which they should have known that I wouldn't have hired anyone with any type of demand, because that means that they're a hot head and like people fight in these situations, like so no, like still early? Can you hear me? Can you see me? You're frozen. I can't hear you. Uh let me contact Lee here. Okay, well, it looks like I'm running the show now. Uh he should be back here soon. Uh but again, there's a lot of different ways to look at the business world. I mean, I don't know everything about it. Um, but what I will say is this in in a lot of these cases, okay, his his internet went out. He just kind of let me know. So I guess I'll just carry this thing for a little bit. But in a lot of cases, you could be in business, uh, whether you work for somebody or you work with people, but technically you work for them, especially if you're a small business and you're contracted by Fortune 500 companies like I've been. It's one of those situations where you still you have to comply with what it is that they're doing too. I mean, no, I'm no different than anyone else. Look, I'm not in a mansion right now, you know what I'm saying? So, like, it doesn't really change a lot of um how this stuff works overall. It doesn't, it doesn't change that. And so I think that uh looks like we got Lee back here. I can't hear you. No, I can't hear you. I I see you you're muted now, but I can't hear I couldn't hear you anyways. Can't hear you. Can't hear you.

SPEAKER_03: 1:19:43

Can you hear me now?

SPEAKER_05: 1:19:44

There we go. Now I can.

SPEAKER_03: 1:19:46

Alright, yeah. My yeah, like my Wi Fi went out or something. I don't know what's going on here. So I'm about to uh unplug the router and plug it back up and see if that gets us something.

SPEAKER_05: 1:19:58

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03: 1:20:00

you to give us a portrait landscape too or landscape rather because the portrait you could do it that way that just it looks cleaner yeah oh I I was just unplugging the thing I'm about to uh I'm about to uh sit back down you know I don't want to be like you know like those guys like Ebro who who just look like they're going live from from some random place yeah somewhere remote which I guess we'll get to Ebro here soon we got hell we only got about 40 minutes but now again I was kind of just picking up where we left off there with um in terms of business and in general even when you're working for somebody like again or you work for yourself you still you kind of everybody kind of works for someone like you have to answer to somebody to a degree like maybe I don't have to be somewhere at a certain time but like you still answer to someone. Yeah yeah yeah I and I went so I was I was literally talking about just culture inside of a building that you have to walk into every day and how that can just drain you and you're just all right I'm here because I have to be here let me do what I have to do let me get out let me get in here as late as I can't be if it's not a problem let me get out as early without it being a problem hey I'm doing my job and I know I'm not performing to the best of my ability but like dog I don't want to be here one of the best parts about this is to to a degree I have it from the other side right because even when I would go into the warehouse I'd get to deal with and talk with some of these people you want to know what the first thing that anyone would ask me like anytime I came whether that be in like Texas California like wherever the first thing I get asked what can I get a raise like that's literally like the first thing that I was asked and like I would tell them I didn't lie I was like I said I'm gonna be honest if you I don't really dictate that.

SPEAKER_05: 1:22:02

Now obviously I could pay them more but then that hurts my bottom line because that's not the agreement that I have with them. They're the ones that pay you that's why you don't see me. That's why you see them because they're the people that are paying they're paying they're paying me to pay you right so it's like um and that's just the world attempts in general so it's like yeah and in some cases I've made you know changes like for to pay somebody I I've made change changes in in certain cases where if a guy I knew deserved to be paid and I couldn't get it approved even if I was only 50 cents to bump them up I mean 50 cent can make a difference in a 40 hour work week that's an extra 20 right and so$20 a week that could help pay something that's a could be half a tank of gas something I know it's not a lot on the surface but over a 52 week span it's an extra thousand dollars a year right 1040 is the exact number but like and after taxes it's really like seven something but depending on you know um what you claim and what your marital status and all this other stuff is but look at that oh there you go all right we might yes we are damn it man that's this is such a cleaner listen to I'm sure it is but uh yeah so um Mahomes tours ACL and the Chiefs uh are eliminated from the playoffs for the first time in Patrick Mahomes' career we were about two years too early on this yeah but you know I I I saw Bomani Jones had a thing out that said the Chiefs' offense hasn't been the same since Eric Bienemy left he's not wrong I'm not saying that Eric Bienemy is the reason like and I didn't listen to his argument yet I just saw it and hadn't watched it. Yeah but as far as the timeline goes it's like yeah yeah I know they were in the Super Bowl the year before but they won a lot of close games they won the Super Bowl the year before that they won a lot of close games and they weren't they had a dominant record but they weren't dominating games yeah because remember shit after Tyreek left they really they stopped covering well and then Mahomes huge stats were gone yeah he was like a 35 touchdown guy not you know 45 you know 4000 yards not 5,050 right so yeah we were early because I also don't think we expected the defense to become as good as it was to balance out the offense's lack of explosion and then the all like Patrick's uh uh hadn't shown the ability to do the Drew Breeze shit yet correct if he needed to correct uh but I mean it was time Travis Kelsey's old and drops passes uh Mahomes is due for I mean it sucks but he hadn't ever really been hurt part of the game you know especially with the way that he plays um yeah they're due for for a season from hell and unfortunately Baltimore is in the middle of their season from hell uh because this would be the year for oh shit we can make a run now mind you they can still win the division and get hot in the playoffs which I do which I absolutely love golly especially if he goes up to Buffalo and beats Josh Allen um goes out to Denver and oh Sean Payton number one seed in the in the what do you think of that Sean Payton's a hell of a coach man like I don't huh say you're a big fan no I come on man he's on my sports interviews I know you know I I know you know I know you're not a big fan come on man I I like that guy less than I like Dabo that's hard to do I know I went back and watched some of our old videos by the way okay some of the most viewed ones and you yeah I saw you were responding this is probably two years ago is the Jokic stuff and I remember thinking obviously when you initially said the Jokic stuff I was always like what the fuck are you talking about? But that's basically what everybody was trying to tell you in those comment sections um maybe we should start doing a flashback segment the more and more I think about it where we bring up an old clip and we talk about whether or not that was washed or it was winning and that was definitely not your brightest moment.

SPEAKER_03: 1:27:19

Yeah but I mean it it didn't age well but and it and this isn't like I was wrong. Yeah I I admit that I'm wrong and I'm not and I and I'm saying it's not from like trying to make myself sound better but based on what I had seen at that point in time based on the way that the NBA had been played and champions had won in recent years based on their roster they had a really good roster but we hadn't seen teams that didn't have more than one all-star win championships in the current era and then the super team era kind of broke up at that time and the game gets played a little bit differently and they have like I mean superstar Jamal Murray is the best non-all-star in the league who may never make an all-star but may average 25 multiple years well well I don't know about 20 maybe in the playoffs but I know I'm saying like a 25 guy no I'm just saying like he has the ability to average 25 multiple years moving forward is what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_06: 1:28:29

Okay.

SPEAKER_03: 1:28:30

I he hasn't done it I'm I but like Aaron Gordon what he was when they won a championship and then who he is now like they had a really good team and they didn't have Aaron Gordon when I made that uh uh take by the way and um yes it did not age well but based on what I saw and how I delivered the take and how I analyze sports that's where I go I'm not a great predictor when it comes to new trends always I I I take historical data and and then I kind of go from there and you basically say take that for data I mean something like that. You remember when uh our man did it he was like take that for data hey superstar Jamal Murray's averaging 25 this year by the way is he 25 you know scoring's up overall in the league I mean Austin Reeves averages almost 29 so it's like not to make an excuse for it or nothing but like I mean but Austin Reeves is a bucket though too like let's not let's he is let's not say it was anyways. Yeah but like let's not say that like I I know the point that you're making but I don't think Austin Reeves is a great example for that because of how he scores.

SPEAKER_05: 1:29:46

Okay.

SPEAKER_03: 1:29:47

Like he really has a no knock to his coach but he has a more well rounded game than JJ Redick. Now JJ Reddick like if you said JJ Redick was averaging almost 30 in the NBA I'd be like okay yeah scoring's up because JJ couldn't get his own bucket in the in the NBA but Austin Reeves is patting that bitch bumping I get off me you know what I mean we didn't think very much of the Kobe thing that I sent you earlier no no I don't like that stuff because you're taking data and you're extrapolating it out and it could be true but because we don't see those types of numbers today we see like the inch up but like Kobe averaged 35 that year. Is anybody averaging is anybody gonna average 35 by the end of the year maybe one maybe two people and I don't think the thing that is not in there is role players get more shots now. Yes so back then Kobe like niggas couldn't shoot if Kobe didn't touch the ball that's correct so that's not that context you you you can't create that type of context in these situations because there's a chemistry aspect to it too that's why I don't like those I'm and I'm okay with that.

SPEAKER_05: 1:31:18

That's fair.

SPEAKER_03: 1:31:21

If Kobe were able to shoot as many times and adapt his game to be a smarter game like a lot of players play today and I mean smarter as in throughout an 82 game season like Kobe took a lot of difficult shots. He made them he made a lot of difficult shots but some of the shots that Kobe took in today's NBA he may not take because it's like hey dog well the dip defense isn't as difficult yeah it's nobody's sniffing his ass like Tony Allen you know what I mean yeah but also with the defense not being as difficult you you're guarding more people too right because like when when Kobe had Mabinga playing center well nobody guard that nigga you know what I mean like some like on some of them teams like bro who's really guarding so much parker so you can more easily triple team somebody but now I mean look at the Lakers if they have LeBron James Luca Austin Reeves Rui and DeAndre Aiden on the court who who do you sag off of so the the it's just different and there's more skilled players in the league more skill more skilled players but also players getting more opportunities to use their skill and there's just it's just a different league like again palgasol today plays but he's not can't get on Pal Gasol's not an all-star in today's NBA unless I mean uh Memphis pal is I don't know about Lakers pal.

SPEAKER_05: 1:33:21

That's what I'm saying like but that's who Kobe played with so it's like I'm like none of those guys are actually like I mean but how Shannon Brown's damn near damn near Bruce Brown today. Yeah right like that's like more of his lot as a player they're like the same dudes Lamar Odom but Lamar Odom's a better player today. Yes but that's why I don't like those comparisons like that because the game is Lamar Odom's an all-star today well yeah because Lamar Odom's allowed to play point guard today on whatever and like Lamar people be forgetting Clipper Lamar like no they don't forget him they didn't see him yeah well Darius Miles Elton Brand yeah but like Cory McGetty fucking uh Lamar when he first got drafted when he was athletic um before that horrific fucking yeah fucking legend Lamar Odom today is doing what we thought Ben Simmons was gonna do. He's doing some of the Giannis he's doing some of the Giannis stuff and I'm not talking about defensively and I'm not saying to Giannis's level but I'm just saying a guy that's I think yeah he sits more Giannis except for low key probably a better shooter I'd say he's a better shooter and he's a lefty but I but I I'd say the Ben Simmons comparison because although Ben Simmons couldn't shoot Ben Simmons got game you know what I mean like he can dribble the ball get he has a bag you know what I'm saying he has skills yeah skilled yes Giannis isn't skilled but neither of them can shoot well Giannis is a better shooter than Ben Simmons but like a more confident shooter yes but he's also more I don't again dominant is such a word I don't want to use but he's more dominant yeah and like Lamar wouldn't have that physical dominance of Giannis but he'd be his offensive production would be closer to Giannis's than Ben Simmons right yeah damn Lamar but again we talked about this guys that would fit in the league Rasheed Wallace obviously would be Rasheed Wallace would be the poster boy him and uh Rashar Lewis like those are like the poster boys for imagine what you stretch stretch fours imagine dirk could not only shoot but like could do like could kind of handle their own drip like yeah dirt I mean but see Dirk's a little different too because Dirk is not somebody he could have he could bring it up he's not running point in a game like I trusted Rashard Lewis's handles more than a Dirk's and Dirk is good in a half court set handling.

SPEAKER_03: 1:36:09

I'm talking about Dirk at the top of the the key like I'm talking about Dirk I'm talking about Dirk in the half court that's all I'm talking about okay okay yeah I ain't talking about Dirk grabbing it off the rim and and and and running the break no I'm talking about just Lamar has the best handles of those type of players in that era yeah I just mean like running the offense through Dirk with him as a primary ball handler.

SPEAKER_05: 1:36:35

Well it would in a weird way almost be not as good a ball handling it'd be kind of Jokic like in a weird way like more scoring less passing yeah well right but that's what I'm saying because Jokic brings the ball he can bring the ball but like and I'm not saying Dirk couldn't but like Dirk would be getting 50 balls regularly though right and that's the biggest thing a lot of that stuff it just it'd be different today in today's like can we just just take a second because I'm happy Dirk's in the media now because if Dirk wasn't in the media I think he could go forgotten because yeah he was one of the better power like one of the top power forwards of all time he's high on the scoring list but his game wasn't loud he wasn't a big personality even though he's funny as hell but you know you got loud kg you got Tim Duncan who's just better than all of them and they'll say it I mean I don't disagree with that but like like yeah I just think Dirk could go for guys Tim Duncan the difference with him will always be is kind of the Brady effect right now with Brady it got proven because of what Bill did without Brady and what Brady didn't oh no no stop no no no I'm not trying to compare them what I'm saying no but I'm saying is that there was such a didn't improve anything but what I'm saying is there was such a system because even post Duncan the Spurs won 67 games so like we got to see it.

SPEAKER_03: 1:38:14

No no but no nobody no nobody they won six they went 40 nobody says that Tim Duncan's a system player nobody I'm not saying he's a system player I'm saying no but nobody I don't think Brady's a system quarterback but like not because we saw it I didn't think that josh mcdaniels and Bill Belichick were the re but I'm just saying it's always because they're they're gonna be they're handbuffed but there but there's never been that conversation around Tim Duncan no there hasn't been that re that conversation of what would he be without pop would like that's not a conversation but well because he played with two alcoholics but Brady and Belichick even before they split that was a conversation that was never a Tim Duncan conversation numbers were never glamorous enough obviously he won two MVPs but like his numbers were never like glamorous enough to cause that debate like Brady had glamorous numbers at one point in his career like because obviously it didn't start off Tim Duncan had more Tim Duncan the reason why Tim Duncan is going to be for one he was just the best power forward but Tim Duncan had but he had more MVPs than his peers he had more championships than his peers so he was good and he had as many or if not more all as many as Steve but Steve like they're not peers. I'm talking about then who's his peers are you talking about his position group his position group okay whether you want to go power like if you go on power forwards he has Garnet yeah he got more MVPs more rings more finals MVPs if you go even if you go to the centers well Shaq I mean yeah he's got more MVPs than Shaq but Shaq yeah yeah yeah you're right yeah he's got more rings than Shaq but but but like he's not like I don't think many people There's not a Tim Duncan versus Shaq argument that exists. And I don't know.

SPEAKER_05: 1:40:05

Yeah, because pop even if you want to look at Popovich, I mean Shaq played with Phil.

SPEAKER_03: 1:40:09

So yeah, but like the the Tim Duncan, his legacy is so solid that he can do and Pat Riley. So it's like Shaq don't have the coach excuses either. Yeah, but like I'm just saying Tim Duncan can ride off into the sunset and he's not forgotten. Dirk, if he rides off into the sunset, I don't know if the younger generation realizes just how cold Dirk was. I don't think they like that 2000.

SPEAKER_05: 1:40:36

He's the best shooting big man of all time. That's why which we get to the NBA Cup. I hate when people were fucking talking like, well, Cat's the best. No, Dirk's the best big shooting big man of all time.

SPEAKER_03: 1:40:46

Yeah, like cat like cat shit is ugly. It don't look fluid. Like he can shoot, he can shoot the piss out the ball. But him getting to like nigga, Dirk is doing one-legged fucking fadeaways. Draws. You want to talk about that NBA Cup?

SPEAKER_05: 1:41:03

Yeah, let's go ahead and get into it because I know we're running a little short on time, but what did you think? Did you watch how much of the game did you watch, if any?

SPEAKER_03: 1:41:13

Um, I watched most of it. Um I saw Jordan Clarkson do do what they brought him in there to do.

SPEAKER_05: 1:41:22

Yeah, what about Wimby?

SPEAKER_03: 1:41:24

He on minute restriction and his grandmother passed away yesterday. So uh, you know. I know he had the 10 the 10 in a row, but like he didn't he was on minute restriction, so like we didn't get to see like full Wimby.

SPEAKER_05: 1:41:41

I think the Spurs have something great going. I'd be shocked if they traded for uh Giannis. Now, obviously, you don't well they obviously castle. I think Castle is who they would want more than Harper. You're getting if not both low key. No, no, no. You gotta get their whole bench. You're getting Kelton, you're getting uh Vassille, you're getting and one of those guards, and you're gonna fox is staying put. They might have to do it for money. You know what?

SPEAKER_03: 1:42:12

You know what? No, no, you if you do Vassale, Vasel has a big enough contract. His is like 30. Yeah, so you could do Vasale, some Kelton, some Harrison Barnes and Dylan Harper. I'm I'm I'm I'm gonna I'm listening to the bigger. They're gonna want picks too. So yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_05: 1:42:30

I'm just I'm just talking about players, like the picks, and then they're gonna send you Kuzma back to basically take Kelton Johnson's spot and like yeah, because they're gonna get off his money too, I'm sure. I don't know if he's on an expiring or not, but like that boy plays some bad basketball, man.

SPEAKER_03: 1:42:46

He needed Kuzma have been the same without LeBron.

SPEAKER_05: 1:42:49

Demi's a big fan of uh Kyle Kuzma. Why? Uh she's attracted to him, but you know, close.

SPEAKER_03: 1:43:01

Uh let's see. Kuzma, I mean Kuzma's averaging 13 and a half points per game, four and a half.

SPEAKER_05: 1:43:06

Oh, yeah, that's great, isn't it?

SPEAKER_03: 1:43:08

On 51 and a half percent shooting.

SPEAKER_05: 1:43:10

He got me over here sounding like uh Jim Rome. He's like, that's great. You know, that's rich.

SPEAKER_03: 1:43:16

Let's see. What's his three-point percentage for the year? Uh he's shooting 33% from three when he's shot his whole career. I mean, you know, uh his points is down because he averages 17 on the career, but you know.

SPEAKER_05: 1:43:38

Why is Rudy Gobert in a basketball game with two minutes left and you're down three?

SPEAKER_03: 1:43:45

DPOY, man. Okay.

SPEAKER_05: 1:43:47

Well, I don't know what the heck the ant and jopplay? Uh no, neither of them is playing. Okay now here's the thing. I've got Gobert's under on the rebounds, and he's one away. And I'm like, well, why is Nas Reed not in? Because they need defense. Against who? There's no uh there's no Edie. So I'm I'm I don't know, maybe I'm just confused with how the NBA works in terms of like spacing and like what does he provide offensively? Because defensively, yeah, maybe I guess when people go to the hole, but it's like we saw that Luca's got that nigga dancing, you know, uh he'll have him standing still like like a like the mannequin challenge for one second, and then he'll start fucking, you know, Annie, are you okay, Michael Jackson style? Like it's seen while he's on the floor.

SPEAKER_03: 1:44:38

I wouldn't want Rudy Gobert on my roster.

SPEAKER_05: 1:44:44

Yeah, well Jaron Jackson just put one on him.

SPEAKER_03: 1:44:48

Trey Ball.

SPEAKER_05: 1:44:50

Uh they still have Gobert in. They did put Nas Reed in. Damn, Rudy got the fucking rebound. Fuck me. Um fucking Gobert, boy. Uh, but yes, he missed. Uh Nas Reed, that is.

SPEAKER_03: 1:45:05

How much time we got left? 15 minutes.

SPEAKER_05: 1:45:10

Um We haven't gotten to any culture.

SPEAKER_03: 1:45:15

Yeah, I was about to say, you want to get to any culture since we're we didn't even talk college football playoffs. I mean, they haven't played yet. EMND. I know. We'll watch the games.

SPEAKER_05: 1:45:25

I guess maybe I tell you, we'll break it down more in the picks.

SPEAKER_03: 1:45:30

Yeah, I I I don't I've said I I just want to watch the games, man.

SPEAKER_05: 1:45:35

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03: 1:45:35

Uh yeah, Ian Doza won the irrelevant Heisman.

SPEAKER_05: 1:45:40

Yeah, well, but that's why you wouldn't even think about it.

SPEAKER_03: 1:45:43

That wasn't even something we I mean, I'm sure maybe it was on the docket, but no, I didn't I didn't even I checked, I checked like yeah. I just I just checked it Sunday afternoon. I was like, uh who want the Heisman and Diego Pavio said, fuck the voters.

SPEAKER_05: 1:46:04

Nothing wrong with that.

SPEAKER_03: 1:46:06

I mean he has to know he can't tweet that or put that out, even though that's on brand for him. I feel like he's trying to lean into this Baker Mayfield type persona a little bit, but like because like the stuff with his mom is just kind of out of pocket, you know. You know, yeah, I get it. I'd I'd go in her pocket if she allowed.

SPEAKER_05: 1:46:28

Yeah, they're gonna lose to Memphis, by the way. Minnesota is another team. Yeah, I know we'll get into Christmas Day slate uh next week, but boy, uh I don't know what to think of them. Oh I know there's no Ant-Man tonight, but like they honestly still shouldn't be losing to the Grizzlies without Ja either.

SPEAKER_03: 1:46:49

Like, I mean Ja ain't really doing shit though.

SPEAKER_05: 1:46:52

I know, but it still is also like, should they be losing?

SPEAKER_03: 1:46:56

Yeah, they may be a better team without Ja.

SPEAKER_05: 1:46:59

Yeah, and they kept Rudy Gobier's bitch ass in for this, and now they're gonna take him out because he can't shoot threes and they're down eight with 47.

SPEAKER_03: 1:47:07

Apparently, uh Diego Pavia's mom is in her late 40s, early 50s.

SPEAKER_05: 1:47:11

Oh, would you shmang?

SPEAKER_03: 1:47:14

I mean, if she if she expressed interest, I'd consider it.

SPEAKER_05: 1:47:19

She bangs, she bangs.

SPEAKER_03: 1:47:21

I mean, she's not one that I would just like walk up. She moves, she moves. She's not one I would just like walk up and talk to. But what do you want to talk about in culture, man?

SPEAKER_05: 1:47:32

Well, you know, I brought up the 21 Savage. This is real time today. Him essentially, I guess, calling out the amends he's made along with what people should be doing, whether that be the Migos or Gunner and Young Thug, and then he called out Little Baby to a degree MP. Um, the street, the, the, the street politics of Atlanta.

SPEAKER_03: 1:47:58

Um, it's the rap politics of Atlanta, man.

SPEAKER_05: 1:48:03

Oh, it's not street. You're right. Studio politics of Atlanta.

SPEAKER_03: 1:48:06

It's the street, it's the rap.

SPEAKER_05: 1:48:07

But they're they're they're making it sound like it's street, though, for all of it, in a weird way. Yeah, and it's because obviously Gunner and Baby is street, and then we don't really know what the Quavo offset thing is. We just know everything it's always been assumed he fucks some, like he fucks sweetie or something, but like nobody really knows what the true issue is between them. Men only fall out over money and women, and it wasn't money, I'm sure it wasn't money. No, because it was definitely a woman, but you know that that's why they said Drake and Future 2. I know the metro part of it as well, but like the but it was also something, you know, like the songs even kind of reflected like but dog, I I get it, I get it.

SPEAKER_03: 1:48:52

If if I mess with her, leave her alone. If we cool. Well, why do you want to fuck her anyways? Well, she might be attractive and she may be throwing it at you because she's a skeiser. What would Pluto do? But I and that's the cool thing about our friend group. I think there's a good understanding of who's touchable and who's not. Yeah. And uh also uh there's conversations if there's like any gray area.

SPEAKER_06: 1:49:25

Right.

SPEAKER_03: 1:49:27

Uh I think more guys should do that. And hey, hey, dude, if you're gonna be mad that your friend bangs a girl, even though you're not supposed to be mad because of the rules, tell your friend you're gonna feel some type of way. And be like, hey dog, it isn't it may not even be towards you. I may be being a a tender ass nigga, but I'm gonna be honest. And I'm not telling you to take that into consideration, but I'm just telling you how I feel about it. So, like, I I just think people should do stuff like that instead of just being like, nigga, the game is the game, and now you got your fucking now now. You fall out with your man's over some shit where you said the game is the game.

SPEAKER_05: 1:50:08

Niggas niggas are tender dick about women, though, to a degree. I think it always depends on the relationship between them. Now, look, the world is so big to where nobody should be fucking anyone's, even at any point, side piece or whatever they are. Obviously, we know amongst friends, everybody knows girlfriends, wives, baby mamas, that's us off limits. Like, that's that should be common, but that should be common sense for some. I mean, but but but but but I'm not saying anybody that maybe you possibly fucked at one point that like, or I personally wouldn't do it either way, but obviously I've been in somewhat of a weird situation like that once, and it wasn't even necessarily my man's, right? I was cool with him, and I would have on I would honestly consider him like a friend, and it's like, well, friends don't do that, but it is also the circumstances around that.

SPEAKER_03: 1:51:05

Oh, oh, oh, bro, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, bro. You did nothing wrong there. That wasn't it. Yeah, but I know that a lot of people could look, but some people might look at that and ex that you were cool with and uh ex who threw it at you.

SPEAKER_05: 1:51:19

No, bro, you did nothing wrong, and and and she cheated on that nigga anyway. That ain't got nothing to do with nothing. No, it does. She's you treat a dog like a dog.

SPEAKER_03: 1:51:29

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, you can't do that because then somebody could turn around and say, Oh, you cheated on Shorty too, on Shorty.

SPEAKER_05: 1:51:38

So no, but well, well, then they can believe that, but that isn't what happened.

SPEAKER_03: 1:51:42

No, no, no, no, no, I'm no, I'm not saying in that situation. I'm saying if if you cheat on a if you cheat on a joint and then somebody's response to you is well, bro, you right, you cheated on her. So like what do it matter? Nah, I I don't think the cheating in the conversation that you're having, because you're more so talking about like a loyalty to someone else versus like uh was it morally right or wrong to do this just in a vacuum? Yeah, like I I don't think the cheating matters. Now, if you're just talking about like fucking, if you're just describing her character, then the cheating goes into that conversation. But you messing with that girl and her throwing herself at you, her cheating or not, like you ain't do shit wrong. Like I agree, I agree.

SPEAKER_05: 1:52:37

I'm just saying it can be looked at a certain way.

SPEAKER_03: 1:52:40

Everybody likes to twist it how they want, but like we could talk about a a a real situation uh we'll say a couple months ago, but it wasn't that long ago. You hung out with somebody who you know I have a connection to, even though it's not that deep. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_04: 1:52:56

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03: 1:52:57

But you still gave the heads up, like, hey, this is happening. It ain't that. I'm just letting you know because pretty much because I'm not a fuck nigga. Right. And I don't want it to look like I'm doing XYZ, even though I know it's not that, and we shouldn't even have to have this conversation. But if it comes back to you that we were hanging out, that would just sound weird.

SPEAKER_05: 1:53:21

Well, boy, and then the way that you've painted this picture of what's uh Hey, hey, hey, hey, let's not No, we're not talking about anything. I'm just saying in general, nobody knows what I'm talking about, but yeah. Yeah, that sounds like that's a hurry all the way. Oh, yeah, and I actually I guess when we get off, uh I want to get into that a little bit deeper. But oh oh, you want to update? Yeah, yeah. I mean, we got about six minutes here, but um I don't know.

SPEAKER_03: 1:53:56

I think there was one thing I I did want to like quickly like yell about.

SPEAKER_05: 1:54:00

Go ahead, yeah, because culture. I brought up 21. What was your culture?

SPEAKER_03: 1:54:06

Oh, the Jasmine Crockett soundbite.

SPEAKER_05: 1:54:09

Oh man.

SPEAKER_03: 1:54:11

Like, I I think it's really important for me to respond to this sound bite out of context because I haven't listened to the whole thing and I understand that this is probably a right wing uh page trying to push a certain narrative, yeah. But I don't think putting these words together in any situation is ever okay.

SPEAKER_06: 1:54:31

Okay.

SPEAKER_03: 1:54:32

So here here we go.

SPEAKER_01: 1:54:38

Hold on.

SPEAKER_00: 1:54:42

The question is, the question is go around the country and educate people about what immigrants do for this country or the fact that we are a country of immigrants. The fact is that none of y'all are trying to go inform right now. Okay, so I'm like, raise your raise your hands. You're not you're not we done picking cotton. We are you can pay us enough to find a plantation.

SPEAKER_05: 1:55:19

So I had some you heard the nigga in the background. I know that's right.

SPEAKER_03: 1:55:23

So that was Jasmine Crockett at a hundred and twenty-first, twenty-fifth church uh anniversary speaking. Uh Jasmine Crockett is an African American uh congresswoman for uh representing uh Texas, and um she was speaking to a black crowd, okay? Uh and that's the problem. You can't pay us enough to pick cotton. Do I want to pick cotton? No. But I am I above doing uh manual labor in order to make a living and to provide for myself and provide try to provide for my daughter, you know what I mean? Yeah, and I and that's the problem with so many niggas, and more importantly, these fucking hard R's that we talk about. Like, yeah, we joke about it and laugh, but it's a it's a serious thing. If you're poor, you shouldn't be too good to do anything to make money that's not moral that's not compromising your morals. And picking cotton, although there's a nasty history of black people picking cotton in this country, my nigga, if they're paying you a fair wage to go pick some cotton, go pick that cotton. Also, every immigrant that comes to this country is not a manual laborer who doesn't know shit about shit. Some of our some immigrants come over here to go to fucking school.

SPEAKER_05: 1:56:53

A lot of them are rich as fuck.

SPEAKER_03: 1:56:55

Yes. But dog, I even think about like I think about Cindy's family. You talk about immigrants, and then you want to talk about people who are American citizens who were once illegal immigrants, right? Her dad came over already having gone to school to do construction and like some architecture type shit, right? Like he can draw blueprints.

SPEAKER_05: 1:57:21

Yeah, better uh opportunities, anyway. Right.

SPEAKER_03: 1:57:24

But like yes, he's a Hispanic working in construction, but he's not just driving a fucking nail into a goddamn wall, you know what I mean? Yeah, he's managing multi big projects.

SPEAKER_06: 1:57:39

Yep.

SPEAKER_03: 1:57:40

Her mom came over, yes, she started off cleaning houses, but she did that to, you know, put food on the table and pay her way through school. And now she's a fucking nurse. So don't misrepresent what black people should be doing if they're unskilled and uneducated and and and and poor. But don't also don't dim the light on the great contributions that immigrants have brought to this country. And an issue that I have with a lot of the loud black Democrat voices is that they only talk about the black side of everything. And if you're talking about America, you can like I'm pro-black. But part of me being pro-black is understanding and appreciating the contributions of other groups. Because without those other groups, we can't coexist in a society, and you can't get the support behind the pro-black stuff you want to do if you can't get other people to buy into it who aren't black.

SPEAKER_05: 1:58:41

Correct.

SPEAKER_04: 1:58:42

But ladies and gentlemen, it is time for parlay peace college football playoffs.

SPEAKER_05: 1:58:57

666. Uh, I'll run through these quickly, but um it also includes one bowl game that Austin.

SPEAKER_03: 1:59:04

I know, I know. I just see I couldn't add bowl into that too. It's okay.

SPEAKER_05: 1:59:09

I know we're gonna go over this minute. Well, you can five minutes is okay. Um, anyways, we'll start off with the hometown team. We got Kennesaw State versus Western Michigan. I have no idea the name of this bowl game, but Kennesaw State's the dog here, 10-2 off of a uh 2-10 season the season prior. Give me Kennesaw State to be fun with this. Obviously, there's been a huge turnaround there. They just extended their coach. Uh, I like them to beat a team from the Mac. Uh, so let's go Kennesaw State as a dog. Next, let's get into the real action. We've got Alabama at Oklahoma. So Oklahoma played Alabama earlier this year. Oklahoma did win that game uh in Tuscaloosa, if I'm not mistaken. I believe that game was in Tuscaloosa. Uh this time it's in Oklahoma, out in Norman. I like Alabama to win. As bad as the showing was, the reality is. The situation is that Kalen DeBore kind of needs to win this game. And I don't think Oklahoma's got a pulse offensively. And so to me, Alabama's got the better offense. I think Oklahoma has the better defense, but Alabama has proven that they can have a stout enough defense to stand up to these challenges on the road. They beat Georgia on the road. I expect them to do the same here. We're going to go with Alabama on the money line. And then in the same breath, in that same game, I'm also going to take over 40 and a half. I was teetering between, wow, this game could be a 21-20 type or 21-17 or a 2017 game, because realistically it really can be. But I think 40 and a half is a little low. I like the over. Let's take over 40 and a half. Next, we got the game that's going to kick the whole thing off. We got Miami at Texas AM. I like AM at home. Carson Beck going to Kyle Field. I don't see that really turning out that well, honestly. So I'm going to go with AM on the money line. This is not an SEC bias, by the way. I just think AM lost one game all year. They played one bad half of football against Texas, and that is the difference between them playing Florida versus having a buy. So yeah, we'll go ahead and go with them. Then next, we got two A Ole Miss. Maybe the most interesting game of them all. I didn't like the spread here. It was like 17.5, so I stayed away from it. We like the under. I like under 57 and a half. I expect it's a playoff game. I don't expect it to look like a normal college football game and it'd be high score. These two teams played earlier this year. It was like 45-10, which went under that total too. I expect the same to kind of happen here. So give me under 57 and a half. And then finally, we've got James Madison at Oregon. Now, this is the one I do love. We're going to take Oregon minus 20 and a half. I got to watch James Madison at their Coffers Championship game because, you know, that gives you a spotlight to kind of look at some of these teams. They're not very good, in my opinion. I mean, like they're well coached, but that's Signetti's old team for those that don't know. He built that program up to be the powerhouse that it is to a degree. I like Oregon at home to definitely Molly Walk them.

SPEAKER_03: 2:02:06

All right, so we got KSU on the money line, Bama on the money line. We got that Bama OU game going over 40 and a half. We got AM on the money line. We got Tulane and Ole Miss under 57.5 and Oregon minus 20 and a half.

SPEAKER_05: 2:02:21

Yep, that's correct.

SPEAKER_04: 2:02:23

Oh, ladies and gentlemen, it is time for Parlay Beats. NFL six.

SPEAKER_05: 2:02:35

Sixers. Um, all right. We'll go ahead and get into this, and we'll start off with the it's a Saturday game. Uh for those that don't know, the NFL is gonna be on this Saturday. We get two games, one of them not so good, the other one should be a treat. So we're gonna go with the treat first. We got the Green Bay Packers at the Chicago Bears. I I teetered between this. This game's a pick'em. Um, so I didn't pick a winner. Instead, I looked at the weather and I said, you know what? I don't expect there to be a ton of points scored here. Give me the under 47 and a half. Uh, I think 27 to 20 is very reasonable, even and that's if one of the teams scores a little bit more. I think that this game is gonna be a slow pace type of game. I know what the Bears want to do, and we know how the Packers will play. It's interesting because obviously we didn't even talk about this earlier, but obviously uh Michael Parsons out for the season. Another ACL injury that happened this past week. Devastating to me for their Super Bowl chances. Um, I still like Green Bay, though, as a team, but I like the under here. So we're gonna go under 47 and a half. Next, they fucked me in the fantasy playoffs. Hopefully they don't fuck me on this six pack. We got the Cincinnati Bengals at the Miami Dolphins. Now, I put this stuff together yesterday, honestly. I screenshot this stuff. I have no idea what the odds are now, but I'm gonna go with what I saw. They had the Bengals at minus two and a half at the time. I'm sure it's probably up to three or four and a half now, possibly even five and a half, but I got it at two and a half. So we're gonna go Bengals minus two and a half. Uh, I like them whether Tua played or didn't play, but I'm certain that with Quinn Ears playing that that number is probably a little bit higher. So, but we'll still go Bengals two and a half.

SPEAKER_03: 2:04:14

Uh worst case, huh? Troy was pissed in the 40s.

SPEAKER_05: 2:04:21

He's probably cold, you know, in those booths. Sometimes those guys are still cold.

SPEAKER_03: 2:04:25

Man, listen to him talk about Miami and that final drive. Troy wasn't happy.

SPEAKER_05: 2:04:36

Look, Troy Troy wasn't happy about the money he spent at UCLA. That that shit left a bad taste in his mouth because Dante Moore left. But I digress on that. Uh next, so I actually I scratched this one out because Drake London's playing. I was gonna take the Cardinals against the Falcons. We're not doing that. We're just not gonna touch a Falcons game. But I did like the Cardinals prior to that, but with Drake London playing, I'm not touching it. Um so I'm gonna sub it out because there was another game I really liked. It's actually the game that's on tomorrow.

SPEAKER_03: 2:05:05

Since he minus four and a half now.

SPEAKER_05: 2:05:07

Four and a half. Yeah, I still like that too. I mean, you could it doesn't matter. I still like that too. Um, but either way, tomorrow's game, we got the uh St. Louis, not St. Louis, LA Rams at the Seattle Seahawks. So there's no Devontae Adams. The Seahawks look kind of shaky against old man Rivers, and in my opinion. So I watched a lot of that game in the latest. Well, I just I mean walk-off sixty-yarder. Yeah, but man, they did not look good. I think Sam Darnold's gonna be an issue for them, but I don't think he will be tomorrow. He already played really, really bad against them in week, uh, whatever week they played. He threw four interceptions and they still almost had a chance to win that game. They missed the game, winning field goal. I like the Seahawks. It's a pick'em in this game. I like Seattle at home. I think that they do get it done and they take control of the top of the NFC, which could smell such bad news for the Rams. Um, plus, that would mean if the Rams, when they swept them, they're two competitive, they're both 10-3 teams. I don't think that they're better enough to the point of where they sweep them. So give me Seattle on the money. Then next, we got Tampa Bay at Carolina. Obviously, we're familiar with both of these teams as they are NFC South foes. Uh Tampa looks like they're reeling. Carolina can't beat the Saints. This thing is a shit bowl. But in the shit bowl, I like Tampa Bay. They are still just so much more talented, and I don't believe in Carolina. Give me Tampa minus two and a half. I really expect them to cover this spread. I think that's kind of light, even on the road, and I get it, like they're just so much better than them.

SPEAKER_03: 2:06:46

Overall, Bryce Young's not good.

SPEAKER_05: 2:06:48

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. And I I'll never understand, I'll lay the points happily against the Panthers anytime.

SPEAKER_03: 2:06:53

Oh, I had a conversation today, and somebody was telling me uh how good Bryce Young was. I'm like, no, he's not. Yeah, at Alabama, and he was like, bruh, he's better than he was last year. He's improving. I said, okay, he improved. You know, he basically said nigga, and yeah, nigga, F students become fucking C students, nigga. Yeah, still not accepting into my university, right?

SPEAKER_05: 2:07:20

And so that's exactly why I love them at two and a half. Um, you know, that's just my expectation there. Uh next, we got the Jacksonville Jaguars at the Denver Broncos. Maybe the game of the week, sneakily. Certainly the game of Sunday, I feel like. I mean, I know Patriots Ravens should be solid, but uh this is arguably maybe the best game of the week. Uh, Jaguars at Broncos. So they've got this over-under at 47 and a half. I like the under. I don't think that uh the boy from Cardsville is gonna be as explosive, certainly on the road in mile high as he was against the Jets. Remember, that was the Jets that he played, guys. Uh, and I also think that the Jaguars defense is good enough to where Bo Knicks just doesn't cook. 47.5 seems really high. I like the under here. So give me under 47.5 in that game. And then finally, to close out the week, we got a Monday night football game with Phillip Rivers. Wasn't on my bingo card uh in 2025, but we got the 49ers at the Colts. They're laying a lot of points with the Colts. And honestly, what I saw out of Phillip Rivers was it was an A plus performance for circumstance, but even for normal quarterback, and it was honestly a C plus. So he wasn't bad.

SPEAKER_03: 2:08:38

And the even you want to hear some context on that?

SPEAKER_05: 2:08:41

Go ahead.

SPEAKER_03: 2:08:42

So Zaire Franklin is does uh 520 in the morning once a week. And he was talking about it. He was like, yo, like feel and style and talk every week. And when they were with the Chargers, he was like, they created this offense. So like when Phillips showed up day one, he knew all the play, like he knew the whole playbook. There was just uh some verbiage that he didn't know that had changed, uh but conceptually, he knew the entire playbook. Yeah, so between him creating the offense with the coach, still being able to throw football, not being mobile, and being in constant communication with the coach because they have a great relationship, it makes sense why he came in instead of bringing in Colin Kaepernick and start, stop fucking putting this stupid ass lib narrative. Cam Newton, sorry, I'm taking over this shit. Cam Newton, no, nobody's bringing you in. You don't know the offense. You have a game built on your physical abilities, not your fucking mind and your arm. We haven't changed too much shit for you. If AR-15 was a starter and got hurt, different conversation. Uh uh, but nigga, you don't know this offense. You haven't been in this locker room.

SPEAKER_05: 2:09:56

And we need you to play immediately. Like it this isn't an early in the season thing. This is a we really need to win football games right now.

SPEAKER_03: 2:10:04

Yeah, and will Steve even let you will let you out of the deal?

SPEAKER_05: 2:10:08

Ain't no telling. Look, and no telling. Uh, but for the pick itself, I like the Colts plus seven and a half. I think that they're giving them a lot of points at home. That's a lot. Don't you think that's a lot? Yeah. A full fucking over a touchdown, low-key. Like, that's a lot of points. So and the Colts are at home. I expect that crowd to be even more fired up. They still have a path to the playoffs. Give me uh the Colts uh plus seven and a half to finish this thing off.

SPEAKER_03: 2:10:36

All right. So we got Green Bant the Bears under 47 and a half since he. Uh we got we're taking you took the Bengals at minus two and a half. That line.

SPEAKER_05: 2:10:43

That's what they were at. So four, I mean, if it's I with the youers' news, I still like the four and a half too.

SPEAKER_03: 2:10:50

But with but the Lions now at four and a half according to ESPN betting, you'll take that. Uh well, whoever ESPN gets their odds from. Uh Seattle on the money line, Tampa Bay minus two and a half. Uh Jags at Broncos under 47.5, and the Colts plus seven and a half.

SPEAKER_05: 2:11:06

Yeah, and I know that you like it. Or no, I like it, but I know that you love it.

SPEAKER_04: 2:11:11

So that means it's time for lead three. Lead three.

SPEAKER_03: 2:11:18

All right, so I'm gonna give uh college football a little bit more love than uh I usually would. Uh yo, Oregon minus 20 and a half. Sweet. Pound it. I mean, pound it. All right.

SPEAKER_05: 2:11:32

I'm out of town, thugging with my rounds, that type of pound.

SPEAKER_03: 2:11:36

Yeah, absolutely. Give me uh Bama on the money line, too. Uh I'm happy Venables got into the playoffs because he bought himself two two more years, maybe three. Yeah, Cal Hart was trying to fire him. Uh he should be worried about Kinky Link. Uh, but anyways, but Bama, come on, man. Come on. And uh then my one NFL pick this week. Uh give me Tampa Bay minus two and a half. I really like Tampa Bay minus two and a half. I think that the offense is gonna come out firing um on all cylinders and uh Baker, uh Meko Buka, and Mike Evans are gonna have a hell of a day.

SPEAKER_05: 2:12:15

Yeah. You know, you can pick up Kate Otten too, he's sitting out there.

SPEAKER_03: 2:12:19

I I I wouldn't start him over Brock Bowers.

SPEAKER_05: 2:12:21

Oh, well, yeah. Duh. Like, like the the potential of what Brock Bowers can do I supersedes even a great game from Kate Otten.

SPEAKER_03: 2:12:32

Yeah, because I mean I got like a 30 ball out of Brock Bowers one week. Yeah. Uh and parlay Pete. I'm gonna uh hang this up and uh call you.

SPEAKER_05: 2:12:46

Alright, let's do it. All right, dog. You have a good week, man.
