• Greg: I'm lie to you. I for sure finessed this nigga at the barbershop. I'm not gonna lie. I came in on a Saturday, no appointment. I just pulled up praying. Jax: walking is crazy, I haven't done that years. I don't know they still do that. Greg: I was like, my shit was so ridiculous. I was like, I'm just I'm just put it in God's hands. I pulled up to that month for you. And it's packed, but it's not as packed as I thought it was going to be. And the nigga that I normally go to, he's running like 10, 15 minutes late, like he finally comes in and he was just like, Oh, you waiting for me? I was like. Yeah, for sure. Like, wait for you. And I got these. OK, come on. All right. But I said, I said, said in that chair and he was about to like put everything on me. He was like. Yeah, you don't want to call me, right? You called me last night. I was like, no, but absolutely not. And then it goes like, ⁓ where you? Jax: That's what I'm talking Greg: He looked around. He was like, fuck it. He got the cut of my hair. As soon as he took like the first little layer off, the nigga that called him last night came in. Nigga K. Bill. And he was dabbing niggas up. He was up. And then he pointed at him and oh, you, the one that called me last night? And he was just like, yeah, yeah, yeah, I called you. you I was going pull up. Okay, cool. You're going be after him. I was like, ah, I know that nigga man. Jax: Yeah. Greg: Let me get out of here before this nigga before this nigga's going to move some furniture to get. I was a real come out here. But he he sound like he looked like a O.G. ⁓ hey, he ain't look like no young nigga. So he was just he was just patient. You said they didn't take long. No way. But I was like, yeah, it's just the way he phrased it. He phrased it weird, like had he said, did you like call me yesterday? Like, you know, had he started off with. Jax: You asshole. You're an asshole. Greg: You You made an appointment with me or like you called me last night about an appointment. I would have been like, ⁓ no, that's not me. You come in, you was like, ⁓ you was waiting for me. I was like, I mean, I normally go to you. I don't go to nobody else. So, of course, I'm for you. So I'm like, yeah, but like I'm thinking. I don't know. I don't know. He could have worded that better. Jax: I feel like you knew what you was doing. Greg: Yes, I did know. Jax: I can't say I respect it, but I can't say I don't respect it. But you just knew what you was doing though. You asshole, you're just an asshole, that's what you are. Greg: I knew what I was doing. man. back to another episode of the Play for Keys podcast, the only podcast where we we pay we pay our barbers 40. Nothing over 40. Nothing over nothing over 40. 40 is the max. Take it or leave it. This is the podcast for casuals. If you're a casual, this is the show for you. Nice shirt, Jax. Nice shirt. Just now realizing what that was. Jax: Sound, sound, dude. I can't. Greg: gonna be an interesting hot take anyway anyway anyway let's go ahead and pay these bills real quick donations donations Jax: You Greg: Here comes the money! Make sure all those links are all down below. know, tap on those those blue letters. Cash app, Zale, Venmo, have it all. Everything except for PayPal, don't do that. I heard they was scamming out there. Jax: I don't think people even use PayPal anymore. I never trusted PayPal. Greg: Yeah. Yeah, I stopped using it in 2017 or 2018. Whenever Venmo was like a thing once I was like, OK, we just gonna stick with this and cash up. And I don't like having all that on them apps on my phone. All these apps specifically for money, I'm like, Jax: No, bro, I'm- I'm tired of downloading new apps in my life. If something needs me to download an app, I'm not doing it, I hate downloading stuff on my phone now, bro. I don't need an app for everything. The apps I have on my phone are going to be the only apps on my phone for like the next however long I get this phone, bro. I don't want to add no more apps to this damn Greg: Yeah. And it's even worse the apps that you like to use frequently. And you say you ain't been on it in a minute. Those are the ones that get the offloading. Now I got a now I got a cloud next to my fucking app. Now I got to wait for that bitch to load up and in a time pressing situation. I'm like, come on, bro. This is crazy. Jax: Exactly. Yeah, right. Greg: But since we're here, let's go ahead and get into the bag of- We do not care. Yes, we just do not. care about first thing first, the JP Morgan incident that started as a crazy story and ended in a fucking lie by the end of the night. ⁓ Jacks, I feel like you're going to formulate this way better than me. And I'm just going to inflate the peak points that baby laugh and then quiver. But I'm going let you go first. I'm a fixer. OK, it's good. Jax: All right, this is the JP Morgan thing. It's a whole lot, but I'm even, I feel bad putting the woman's face on this, cause it turns out she didn't do anything. But this lady right here, her name is Lorna, last name. Her name is Lorna, whatever her last name is. She's a higher up or something at JP Morgan. She was accused by this nigga with this long face of sexual assault and. like sexual harassment and all this other stuff. He claims he reported it to JP Morgan. They did nothing about it. In those claims, they said like, ⁓ She threatened his job security if he didn't have sex with her. He said that she drugged him to force him to have sex. All the other stuff. She appeared at his home and everything. But it turns out every single thing he said was made up completely. He was married. He was trying to cheat on his wife or something like that. It didn't work. I think they also found out he tried to like, he was trying to get money from JP Morgan, obviously with his lawsuit. And I think people found out that he was using like chat GPT or something like that to test out different methods and all this other stuff. But like, it really seems sort of fake once you really got into some of the claims he was making, because he said that the woman was doing all this like racially, I don't know, like race, play, sex and all other weird stuff. And like, I don't know. Anyway, some of the stuff he was saying like. Greg: ⁓ my God. Jax: I don't even know if I can say some of this stuff because there's like slurs as well, but like... Greg: you Jax: I don't know what I can say about it. He said a lot of stuff. So if you're watching this, you can read this paragraph to see what they said. But I don't know, bro. This whole thing, nigga tried to ruin her life. Greg: He said hadini? That's how he say his name? Jax: No, That's the woman. That's the woman's last name. I don't know how to say it. Hadjini or Hadini? I don't know how to say it. But yeah, it was... Greg: Okay. Nigga said, do you want a future at JP Borgen? It's that simple. I don't know why you're fighting this. You see? Nah, that's crazy. Jax: I don't know if I can say these things. Greg: It's not a slur, is it? Jax: I don't know, I'm not Asian. I don't know what these words mean for them, bro. I've never heard that in my life. I've never heard that in life. Greg: Well, first of all, well, first of all, I've never I've never honestly, I haven't heard a woman referred to her breast as cannons in a very long time. honestly, I haven't heard a woman referred to her breast as cannons in a very long time. Jax: That hearing that may be like, okay, maybe this is a little fishy because do people still say that? hearing that may be like, okay, maybe this is a little fishy because do people still say that? Greg: Hahaha Hahaha Like, come on, gang. You know what that sounds like? He sounds like a nigga that says cock. This shit, and that's what makes this fake. That's what makes it fake right there. know what that sounds like? He sounds like a nigga that says cock. that's what makes this fake. That's what makes it fake right Because any man or woman that says that. Jax: That's weird. Yeeeah. I'm gonna have to put this. Greg: Yeah, fuck outta here. Fuck outta here. Fuck outta here. Jax: I think I can say this. says that, yeah, he alleged that, ⁓ this is one of the quotes that he said that the woman said, she said that, I own you, I'll make you pay. Do you think if you're in good standing, do you think you're going to be in good standing if you don't have me in your corner is what she allegedly said. She allegedly continued, you really think management wants some brown boy Indian leading orientations. If you don't redact my brains out tonight, I'm going to sabotage your promotion. Greg: ⁓ for sure. For sure. Jax: She didn't say any of those things, but this is what the guy says she said. But like we said, yeah, this whole, he made his own like porn fan fiction with his super, or not, cause it turned out she wasn't even his supervisor. Like she doesn't even, like she doesn't even control like his bonus or none of the stuff he said that she said. And I know I said, he said, she said a whole lot in this whole thing, but it just cause nigga was lying bro. Like I don't get it. Greg: Nigga, this is fan fiction. Jax: But I mean, now we all know what he looks like. We know he's a weird ass nigga. And hopefully like nothing good comes for him because of this. Like he really, Greg: one of the funniest things I've seen so far, because first, when this first happened, ⁓ I was growing too fast and that woman looked like that woman, that previous woman. ⁓ So it kind of threw me off at first. was like, damn. But then I'm starting to see niggas crop this niggas photo out, he said, and start saying shit like Jax: If you scroll too fast, I see what you're saying. Greg: Yeah, that's right. Chims better not ever have a bad reporting ever in this book. Shams better never say some shit that's not true. Jax: This is just a Sam's and what's the girl name? The girl that like him, the reporter, Sam's and Kate. Yeah, this is Sam's and Kate Adams. Greg: ⁓ OK. Shams and K Adams. This being a budget, Shams and Kat, this the type of shit that you would see on. This is the type of cast you would see on winning time. This is Shams on winning time. It's K Adams on winning time, gay. No cap. Jax: That's just painful as fuck. you Greg: ⁓ I forgot the name of that. that show from Hulu called Clipped about the Clippers. Jax: you ⁓ I forgot about, I forgot about that. They had like somebody is somebody not famous, like, yeah. Greg: Yeah. They have some ridiculous ass niggas. I think they had, ⁓ There's this one nigga from Insecure that was on there that was playing like Blake Griffin or some shit. Jax: They were playing Matt Barnes, I think. Greg: ⁓ they're playing Matt Bournes? Yeah. Jax: I mean, I know exactly, that show was terrible. Or at least the casting was terrible. I don't know about the show, but still. Greg: That was so bad. That that's some of the worst casting I've ever seen in my life. Why? That was disgusting. But for good reason, for good reason, we do not care. We do not care. All right. Next topic. Next thing we do not care about the Atlanta Hawks. V.P. is officially. Jax: I that she exists. Fair, fair, fair. Greg: sentenced to three years in prison. We talked about this Atlanta Hawks person, think, probably about three years ago. No, not three years ago. I'm tripping. Three months ago. Yeah, the Atlanta Hawks ex VP of Finance has been sentenced to three years in prison for embezzling three point seven million dollars with the team's credit cards purchases, concluded one hundred and sixty thousand for concerts and events. One hundred and fifteen thousand dollars on a diamond ring. One singular diamond ring, by the way. One hundred thousand at Saks Fifth Avenue. I've heard of that place. I don't know much about it. Eighty thousand dollars on trips to the Bahamas and Thailand. Oh, this is a free bull. Nobody. Don't nobody ever have like a non a non freaked out experience at Thailand. Jax: Yeah. Nobody goes to Thailand with peer-intention. Greg: That's what I'm saying. I'm like, ⁓ this is. Honestly, you didn't need 80K for time. As far as I heard. I know. OK, 70K Bahamas, 10K time. OK, I see what's going on here. I see. All right. Right. Yeah. ⁓ Honestly. This the only reason why this got swept out on the rug was mainly because Trey Young is gone. Jax: No, Bahamas and Thailand. So he probably went crazy. Exactly. Greg: And the fact that the trailblazers are just quite frankly, louder. They're just a louder red and black team right now. And we'll we'll tell you why. We'll tell you why in a few more topics. We'll tell you why. But. ⁓ Jax, your initial thoughts to all of this. Jax: Very true. It's just like, bro, like, embezzling crime, all this stuff is wrong, but like, if you're gonna do it, the team, embezzling $3.7 million with the team's credit card is what I'm focused on. Because yes, you're going to get caught, dumbass. You're using the team's credit card. So it's just like, Greg: But you remember we went in depth like he was like making like head like like fake on receipts, credit card receipts and shit like that. Like he was he was in this motherfucker deep. Hold on. Is this Jeff T? Jax: Why is he using a picture of Jeff Teague? When did he last, he ain't played for the Hawks in like 10 years. Greg: He hasn't played in like well over decade. This is nasty. Like I would have been tripped out if you use Trey Young because Trey Young not there no more. But at least Trey Young was there. Trey Young makes sense because he was there during the tenure. This this nigga Jeff T. I can't even tell who this Boston Celtics defender is. Terry Rosie. This is crazy. ⁓ What a fucking crazy foreshadow. Insane. ⁓ Jax: But triumph makes sense. Who's there this season? Is that Terry? you Greg: Alright, I guess everything goes full circle these days. I'm gonna fix this look But that's that's crazy. They just begin on the media and I get it what I get it. That's nasty Jax: That's funny shit. Greg: We do not care. Last and certainly certainly not loose Donald Donald Trump Get shot at for a third time no assassinations ⁓ He's taking dodging bullets to a whole nother level. It all came from a correspondence dinner, if I'm not mistaken. Yeah, I think this is the first one he's ever done or ever been to. Jax: to White House correspondent dinner. Yeah. the first one he's ever attended. Greg: First one he's ever attended. And they was trying to up the ante. And needless to say, niggas keep failing. Jax: He's not even like, you say he's dodging, but he's not even dodging. I don't think he's ever, he hasn't dodged anything. The niggas don't get a chance to shoot him. except with the first nigga, but the first nigga missed, but all the other people, they just don't even get the chance, bro, don't even get the opportunity. But I think this shit was fake. Because as soon as that happened, one, like, one of the shooter black man, okay, there's that, and he's a black man who's alive, okay, that wouldn't happen in real life. Greg: Okay, you know what? Okay, you got me there. Yeah, follow now. I'll follow. All right. I'm on board now. Jax: Then there was a White House dinner. They were talking about, I think like before, a lot of people were talking about how there was like lack security and all this other stuff. And this nigga, walked, this black man walked in, black man with an afro, he's a light skinned but light skinned nigga with an afro, he walked in with a gun. He was able to get relatively close before he got shot. this is the, like, it's the president. There's a whole bunch of other like important niggas there. Like, if this was real, this would have never happened. And then, like immediately after that, they gave like a press conference and that nigga Trump was like, oh man, see, this is why I need my ballroom, because it's gonna be like a bunker just in case for security and all this other stuff. And then every other Republican came out and was like, yeah, this is why we need the presidential ballroom. We've needed it for years and blah, blah, blah. And nigga, these niggas make me sick, bro. These niggas think we're stupid. Greg: Never. I Yeah, because at first, like even to say these all three of these attempts were genuine attempts. ⁓ I just feel like you were doing something wrong as a president. If there's an attack on you three separate times in a term. Jax: And nobody's ever really that pissed off about it. Greg: Like, I think I think Mark Lamont Hill said the best, you know, normal niggas just vote. They just vote them out. If they're mad, they just gonna vote them out. They trying to off you, my nigga. That's such that's such a great point. When they shot Abraham. I understood because white people not not me. Like the logic made sense. Jax: That's WHAT?! Greg: because you're taking slaves away and white people, they just they just got to keep their slaves like, ⁓ we got to get somebody else. The assassination of JFK. I don't agree with any of these, obviously, but the timeline made sense like they don't like this thing empowering black people or supporting black people. This nigga here. Then damn he will probably be the first assassination on the wrong side of history, right? Jax: What do you mean? Greg: Like we kind of like. Championed the assassination like the like the presidents that were assassinated, like we hold them in like good elk or whatever to a degree like, OK, they don't have no real. They don't have no real beef with Abraham Lincoln unless you're a fucking racist. Same with JFK. I feel like this would be the first assassination that. Jax: I see what you're saying. You're saying things will be like, you know it. Maybe we'll be right in now. Greg: I get it. Like, that's crazy. That's crazy. Jax: The first idea, assassination is crazy. But like, mean, what can you say? I don't think, I think he's gonna kick the bucket before anybody gets him. I think it's gonna happen soon, I feel it. Cause he just, he looked terrible. So I think that's what's gonna happen relatively soon. But I've also been saying this for like six months and he's still kicking. So we'll see. Greg: He's not kicking it. That's the problem. He's not kicking it. He's. He's not kicking the bitch. Jax: But he's not kicking the book fair enough, fair enough. Greg: getting the scary. ⁓ Jax: ⁓ we forgot one more thing we don't care about. And that's how much that's how little we care about. But Taylor Jenkins, he got hired to the books. Greg: ⁓ ⁓ shit. We do not care. He for sure got hired by the Bucks. He got he was we meant to talk about that last week. ⁓ Unfortunately, we had bigger ⁓ things, you know, bigger opinions and topics to talk about. But yes, he is the new head coach for the Milwaukee Bucks. Yannis is gone. We said it all the time. ⁓ Do you feel like Taylor Jenkins would? recruit Joe knowing that Memphis don't want his ass no more. Jax: thoughts on the situation that's how much I do not care I was I told you I didn't know this happened I seen that one I seen like a tweet at like midnight or something I was like oh he's been hired for like three days I didn't fucking know so I have no thoughts on the situation maybe I thought he was good for the Grizzlies but the Grizzlies didn't think he was good for them and they fired him so we'll see Greg: Look at their record now. Jax: They really fight, they fight anyway for no reason. They deserve what they get. Whatever it is they get, they deserve it. Greg: It low key fire Michael Lone for no reason. I'm talking about the muggies, but you know, just in general. These be getting fired for no reason. That's why all these coaches, the issue that should don't matter, bro. It don't matter at all, bro, is bullshit. But now that we got that out the way. Skins is some some scary business, scary Terry Rosier and Damon Jones. Jax: Yeah, I should have kept that nigga too, but... Greg: We'll talk about Terry Rosier. Well, actually, we'll talk about Damon Jones first because he's the first one to plead guilty to I forgot what it was called. Was it? Jax: Yeah. Greg: I forgot the actual charge. Please guilty to a $10 million sports betting and poker and poker scams. And his role in it involved was using insider information to. Relate to people, letting people know, if LeBron James or Anthony Davis would be sitting out. Or playing or whatever the case may be. Jax: I believe it was wire. Greg: And he was just kind of using this NBA likeness. I think it was part of the Lakers organization at the time, Yeah. Jax: I don't even know if he was officially part, but I know he was like, he talked to them on the side of the, but I don't think he was like ever officially on the coaching staff, but he was close with them. Or at least close with LeBron. Greg: Yeah, it was close with LeBron due to them being old teammates and shit like that. So it was just like, that doesn't necessarily help anybody's case or hurt anybody's case, but the reason why Scary Terry is now involved, Scary Terry initially got his gambling stuff dropped. Jax: Yeah. Greg: or was in the process of getting a lot of these charges dropped. And then they added more charges in there. Those charges I don't know, I don't have off the top of my head, but it is a part of the gambling scheme. Jax: Good thing they're right here. They said they're wanting to file additional charges for sports bribery and wire fraud against ⁓ Terry Rozier. They're trying to get this done by mid-May. And with Terry Rozier, because I read this article before we got on, they said that they think he actually was soliciting people to like, hey. Will throw this game for you or hey we can bet here do this that and they're like he was going out and like hey I will do this for you guys That's why that's why they want to bring in more charges against them and drop some of the other ones cuz they're trying to bring more serious charges and like I like Terry Rosier I had no problem him as a player but he was actually going out and being like hey I'll throw this game for you or hey we can bet if you were going out of your way to solicit this stuff from these people Come on Greg: Yeah. Jax: Seriously, my nigga, do we, let me see Terry Gershir's career earnings. Greg: He's he's gotten he's gotten his fair share of bag before with the horn with the hornets Celtics shit even the heat Jax: Thank you, Laif. He's been in the league for 10 years and career earnings through 2026 is $160 million. Brother, what are we fucking doing? Honestly, what are we doing? And then the years that he was alleged to have done this wire fraud thing, which was, think it started, I think they said it started in 2023, maybe 2022, but regardless from 2022 through 2025, he was making over $20 million a year. Like so he didn't. Greg: That was with the Charlotte Hornets, if I'm not mistaken, Jax: Yeah, it started with the Hornets into the Heat, but like each year he was making over 20 million dollars. Like you didn't, well, I don't know what he got going on personally, but squandering 20 million dollars, that seems very hard to do, Greg: I mean, it's easy when you taking care of niggas besides yourself. Jax: Wow, 20, he was making 20 every single year, Greg: It doesn't matter. Jax: That's fucking crazy. now the fact that you, like I we don't know his personal finances, but if he were to squander all that, and now you're in such a bad place that, hey, let's gamble on this. Hey, let's bet on this. Nigga. Come on. Greg: And it's like, damn, it's just like, it's so, it's so weird to do this. ⁓ when you know, your games is nationally televised. Well, it's a Charlotte Hornet. So in their defense, it wasn't natural televised, but they were on television. So it's on footage. It's not like you doing some discrete gambling under the, I mean, niggas can see me. Jax: But you went to the world. All right. And I've seen videos of people like posting his low likes during the whole like tenure where he was a led shift game. And they would have like tripping and losing the ball and breaking threes and air ball. And I'm just like, come on dog. what are we? Greg: Damn, like it's just you see shit like this and it's like, damn, bro, like, come on. Come on, nigga. But I think when it comes to Damon Jones and I think one thing that I read about the Damon Jones thing, he's not he's not like cooperating with the police, though. He's not like he's not there like testifying. He's not going to testify about, you know, certain things, especially when it comes to like Chauncey Billups and the Chauncey Billups aspect of all of this. Jax: I still want to know what's going on with him too. Because I haven't seen nothing about Dr. Miller. Greg: Yeah, but what whatever happens with this Damon Jones thing is either going to help our hurt Chauncey Billups case on whatever the fuck is going on. So the fact that he pled guilty, they were just trying to get it. Jax: You won't be on the file, shout out to him. He might be a real nigga, I don't know. No, can't call niggas real niggas for that. He's still doing criminal things, let me not. Greg: enough. I mean, it's a criminal at the end of the day. You squandered money at the end of the day. But specifically when it comes to Chauncey Billers, I I... I was trying to say that it was laying low, then you sent me that reply. Then they randomly replied to somebody. ⁓ I think it was stuff. Too many elephants under your comment section, don't I don't want to see this. Address me. Hey, no cap. I need next time this nigga. Jax: Are you tweeting this shit? We can stop tweeting. Get off the internet. That everything is funny to say. Greg: Chauncey Billups says anything on the internet. I swear I need somebody to put that goddamn video of that monkey saying, talk to me, talk to me, talk to me. ⁓ You It's too niche because I don't see a lot of niggas talk about it, but God damn it. Jax: That's the point of your everything in my fucking life, I don't know if people have seen it, because apparently that video is from something that came out like last year. But if y'all have not seen it, I'm not going to put it. This is a long ass video, Loki. So I'm not going to play it. But there's a video on Twitter of some nigga pretending to be Michael Jackson's monkey and giving an interview. And that's the funniest shit I've ever seen in my fucking life, Greg: I still have that I still have that recorded from the last part. I'll just put snippets in the midst and post prod. They'll see it. They'll see like what we're talking about. Jax: ⁓ shit. ⁓ I hope this whole situation resolved for everybody I don't necessarily know what's going to happen to any of these people but you know well wishes to all those involved moving on though some more stuff is happening in the sports world ⁓ But let's not go to basketball. Let's go to Saudi Arabia. Let's go to golf. Greg knows a little bit more about this to me because he's been a little bit more tapped in with this because he's had some theories about it forever. And his theories seem to be right so far, so I can't knock it. But... Saudi Arabia's public investment fund is expected to inform all of golf personnel that is ending that is going to end funding at the conclusion of this season. the PGA tour is reportedly not enthusiastic about bringing back the players who jumped ship to go to live golf. And if you guys remember, we talked about this when it first started a long time ago and they were offering a whole bunch of PGA people like crazy bags to come over and golf with them. And most of them. Greg: Yeah. Jax: accepted it because like I said they was giving out like literally like hundreds of millions of dollars for these people so yes they went and the PGA they got mad because like how you gonna take all of our people and now that live golf is like we said it's ending now some of the golfers are trying to come back to the PGA and they're like you know what no low-key like I get it from the PGA standpoint but like relax But you know, that was giving out a crazy bag, bro. You would have done the same thing. This is what I gotta say about it. Greg: Yeah, and I mean, it got to the point where like they became partners at some point, at some point, like they damn near became your equals. So it's never like he was little bro in them niggas. It's just the fact that Saudi Arabia felt like they weren't really gaining anything by pouring so much money into ⁓ live golf, especially for people that don't know. Jax: Yeah, that's true. That is true. I remember that. We talking about that. Greg: They were investing five billion dollars into live golf. Crazy amount of bread. And that's not even, you know, that's not even including what you're, you know, paying your players to come and play. This is a five billion just to, you know, operate it. for something to be five billion dollars worth. I'm not saying that I'm looking for golf. I'm not saying that I'm somebody that's a golf enthusiast, but. I don't know anybody that's ever watched the live golf ⁓ TV event respectfully. Like even. Yeah, I don't know what that was. I know that they were trying to like spice up certain things. I already knew it was going to be bad when I started hearing DJ Khaled a little bit. Like that nigga talking like I see we are coming from, but we the best. That's not really going do it for me, gang. I can't. Jax: I don't know which camera even came on. Greg: I can't do that. No, thank you. And their concept was really great. But from a consumer standpoint, I'm like, where are you all at? Because even when it comes to I don't be looking for PGA golf, but if I don't change the channel fast enough, golf might just hit my screen by accident. And I'll be like, or, you know, I'm looking for NFL game. Oh, golf is on this channel. This go around. They must be on CBS. Jax: No, thank you. It's gonna be there. There is. Greg: supposed to be a CBS game or or another game or whatever. So that was one of the biggest things. But I think two things happen when it came to live golf. One, PGA can't sit here and act like they've been doing the same thing. ever since Live Golf came through. Like y'all have been changing and being innovative ever since Live Golf made y'all step your game up on certain things. Made y'all pay people appropriately. I made people like you try, you was making sure that you was up to date and they kept them niggas up to date. So one, it got y'all together because y'all was, you know, when it comes to rich boys like that, they try to turn their nose up. They try to, you know, if it ain't broke, don't fix it mentality. And who the fuck do you think you are? You just fall in line. Jax: They're trying to keep it up. Yeah. Yeah. Greg: And, you know, had y'all shook for a little bit. The second thing that happened was it proved to people that Saudi Arabia is about that fucking life. They can they can get into any avenue that they want to and be just fine. We we can. And if you put too much power into Saudi Arabia, it will let you know how fast that shit can crumble when they pull. That's very important. Jax: Yeah. Greg: That's so important to let niggas know, hey, especially when it comes to negotiations, I think it's very important to not give them niggas too much power. And what the fuck y'all doing? Jax: That's probably the most important thing you said, Ms. Ose. Just that part right there. That sentence right there. If you get in bed with them and give them a whole lot of power, that's really for anybody. You give them a whole lot of power. Once they take that funding away, you can't do anything. Once you give them all that power, they own you. They own you. Greg: like. anybody. It is it is it gets really spooky. It is on you. It's like, man, this shit is is fucking spooky. It's fucking spooky. So when it comes to the PGA tour, the PGA niggas, they still in their feelings because a lot of niggas, you know, a lot of big niggas left out like a lot of big niggas went to live golf. So they're trying to turn their nose up. And it's kind of I think somebody that's in the PGA or like in the golf sphere, he said is comparable to Lane Kiffin. Jax: Yeah. Greg: coming back to Ole Miss and saying, yo, my bad, I fucked up. Like, please, like, you know, can I come rock with y'all again? And it's just kind of like, yeah, you're a good coach and yeah, you're this, but my nigga, you left a bad taste in our mouth, nigga. Low key, fuck you. But the results are results. So you want to go back to an Addy or you want to stand on business? That just kind of depends on what they want to do in PGA Tour land. So we'll see how it goes, but. Jax: Yeah. Greg: Those are the biggest takeaways about it. is still a win for Saudi Arabia, no matter how you twist and turn it. Them niggas just flex their powers. They just flex their power for real, for real. That's really what it was. Jax: And before we move on from this, fast with that Lane-Kiff analogy, I'm be honest. I feel like if Lane did try to spin back, they'd let him. I feel like they'd let him. And that's what the PGA people gonna do. You're gonna let them back in. ⁓ Greg: Exactly. I was saying like, yeah, I'm gonna have to. Yeah, you're gonna have some mixed emotions. You're gonna feel like I don't like I don't like how I left just like LeBron left Cleveland when the nigga came back. What? Hey. Jax: All open arms and everything. When LeBron go back next season, same thing, but neither here nor there. Greg: Same fucking thing. That's all it is. Them niggas saw them. They just lost to Toronto. It used to be called Lebron. So nigga, of course you coming back. Of course you're going to be open with open arms. Come on, be fucking serious. Jax: Thank All right, stepping into the NCAA world of things with college basketball. The NCAA has began the final steps to expand the men's and women's basketball tournaments to 76 teams. Originally, it's like what, 64, I believe. Yeah, it really is 64. that's the whole March Madness team. That's that tournament is, 64 teams. Now they're going to. Greg: Yeah, and that was and that was added because I mean, once upon a time, we didn't have first fours, first four outs and last four ins. That didn't used to be a thing. Jax: Yeah, so I think apparently a 68 game could do that first four stuff and then again to the field of 64. Greg: Yeah, for sure. Jax: But like I said, now they're changing the 76 teams. Being completely honest with you, I do not get why. I mean, well, more money because they probably they get more games put on TV. So there's that, of course. But like, who's asking for this? Greg: schools. Schools are asking for it because you get paid to play in these. When you see small schools, ⁓ when they play a Michigan, when they play X, Y, and Z, they get bread for that. They get compensated for that. So even though they finna get dog-dwarf by 50 points, this is one of the things where... Jax: Yeah, that's what I'm like, bro. They're gonna get embarrassed. Like, not everybody, but some of these new teams are gonna be like the 70 to 75th team. They're gonna get embarrassed by somebody, bro. Greg: I'm saying like they'll get embarrassed. But for every for every five embarrassments, there's one that keeps up with Duke. And I think Jax: I mean, that's more of a Duke problem than anything. That's not giving them, that's just Duke is stupid sometimes. Greg: It's just Duke being Duke. But I think this is one of the first things where it's just a consumer issue. It's like a consumer. A consumer problem because both sides fuck with the idea because money is involved. The schools are fucking with it because the money is involved. They get money out of this. The March Madness Committee is fucking with it because more money is involved and they get money. It's really just the consumers just kind of like, how are we doing this? Not that. Not that they're not going to watch it because of what's happening, but. I will say, and it's only a certain type of consumer ⁓ that has a problem with this, because small schools, consumers that graduated from small schools. They fuck with the idea that they can finally have their team in a March Madness national televised game for the first time ever. I remember when my dad saw Preview for the first time, like make a March Madness like tournament ever. It was mad high because I mean for like, I mean, especially back in those days, all like college teams weren't small college schools unless they were playing big schools. They weren't all televised like that. Now we got ESPN plus and shit and HBCU TV. You can watch it anywhere now, but. Jax: Thank You can find the stream for damn near anything now. Greg: Yeah, so like now, like before then, when the HBC made it as a a automatic bid, so I can watch these things with my TV, put some on the fucking grill. So it allows even more schools to do that. Of course, the play is going to drop, you know, you know, this you're going to see some bad hoops in the first round. You know, I can't argue that, but ⁓ I can't I can't really dispute anything because. It seems like a win win on both sides. I feel like nobody's going to lose in this situation. If I don't want to watch it, I'll just watch something else. There's so many games on there. March Badness. I could just flip it to another game if I don't want to fuck with it. I think I think NCAA has a I think football plays a part in this, too. I don't think you expand with honestly, I feel like you don't expand without football expanding first. And I think the fact that football even expanded to 12. Jax: I'm 76 and a bit sad. Greg: raised them the idea of giving them like, ⁓ okay, well, people, know, the consumers didn't like it or XYZ didn't like it, but the amount of money that they got because of it and making it a tournament style shit, fuck it. I mean, we can't do it just like that because that'd be too complicated, but we can we can ask them extra teams. We see the money keep going up and up, you know, every year. So. ⁓ Jax: Yeah. Greg: football in NCAA football tends to be the blueprint for a lot of this stuff. So I was surprised that it was going to be 70. He said 76, right? 70. Yeah, 76. I would love to say to stop it at 76. every time people just at the problem with this, it's like I feel like people keep pushing the needle like of how far they can go with this. And I think that's really where where I may have the issues like damn. Jax: Year 76. It's gonna hit me. Exactly. Greg: teams in this bitch if y'all ⁓ Jax: It's gonna get to 108, and that's going to be disgusting. That's just like the NFL, know, long time ago, they started with 14, then they went to 16. Now they're doing 17, and 17 a weak ass number, but they're only doing that because they want to get to the 18th one soon, which they probably will to the detriment of the players, but I guess. Greg: Yeah. 17 is such an ugly-ass number. will say I will admit 17 would definitely make me want to push for 18 or 16 go back to 16 was a good spot. That was a good spot Maybe it's because that's what I'm accustomed to and what I'm used to but 16 16 makes a lot of sense, honestly Jax: Thank you. They didn't go back to FaceTime, but they never did. This thing just makes sense. but let's tap into the NBA real fast. Because Adam Silver, well, before he gets to play, I think I'll talk about Adam Silver, because he did another thing. I don't know if I like this thing. I don't think I like it. It's just weird, but there are new tanking rules, because tanking is such an organic problem in the NBA now. ⁓ And these are the new. ⁓ Greg: sure. Anti-Taken. Jax: The new lottery system though is gonna run through 2029 because it's gonna be a trial period, but the lottery is expanded from 14 teams to 16 teams. There's a relegation zone with the bottom three teams, they get fewer odds for the number one pick. Teams outside the bottom three get better lottery odds, meaning they have three balls in the lottery set of two. Playing teams will also receive the lottery balls, with those varied by the seed. No team can win the number one pick in back-to-back years. No team can get three straight top five picks. Picks 12 through 15 can no longer be protected, and the NBA can punish tanking by reducing odds or moving picks. How do you feel about these? There's also, once we talk about this a little more, there's another graphic that sort of illustrates this a little better that I'll pull up. But yeah. Greg: ⁓ you're talking about that green graphic. OK, I had that just in case you didn't have it, but if you have it, you can just you can show it on your screen. ⁓ Just so just so that the audience can kind of. The visual makes it a little bit more sense of where they're going, my personal. Jax: Mm-hmm. There we go. Greg: So to the left side was the old odds. Jax: In the old format, the worst record had a 14 % chance of getting the number one pick. Or the first or the worst record, the second worst and third record, they had a 14 % chance of getting the number one pick. The fourth has a 12.5 % chance. have a 10.5 % chance and continue sort of like that. But with these new odds, the worst three teams only have a 5.4 % chance of getting the number one overall pick. Teams four through 10 have a 8 % chance of getting the number one overall pick. Teams 11 through 14 have a 5 % chance of getting the number one pick. And then the playing people have a 2 % chance. It just feels like they're punishing bad teams. I mean, you should punish some of them because tanking and everything. Because some teams are actively tanking, but like. I don't know, don't, taking it as an issue, I guess, but I don't think it's warrants all of this. Like, it feels like he's just doing something for the sake of doing something, you know? Greg: surprisingly. I kind of fuck with it. Not going to worry. I will say when it comes to Adam Silver and when it comes to shit like this, ⁓ everything, everything sucks and everything's terrible until that bitch word. ⁓ the nigga said fixed tanking technically. But what the fuck I'm looking at this for sure going fixed tanking. I'll tell you that much like. There is there literally is no incentive to be bad. And I and I think there's a. There is a what do you call it? There's a conversation to be had that the opposite of crazy is also crazy. I definitely understand that being too polite, being too to the other extreme to try to course correct, like doing the over course correct like that, that can lead to a new set of problems just like the 65 game rule. But. If we're asking a that he fixed tanking, I think he did a fixed tanking that will come with other issues down the line. They will come with other things that you have to address. But I do think that nigga did like if I'm if I'm looking at this shit correctly, like, OK, there is no incentive to tank. And honestly, if I'm being real, because I was listening to the shams, I was listening to a lot of people. ⁓ basically, when he was in those meetings, he was definitely dropping his nose. Jax: Yeah. Greg: He was cursing. He was cursing GM's out. Well, not cursing them out, but like he was throwing a lot of silver silver. But Shams was reporting other people were reporting like in these nausea. Hey, Shams, don't finish. Hey, fuck it. Jax: Something about a silver or gems? ⁓ there. Okay, okay. I was like, what's with the same feeling like? Sam acted like the one we did. Greg: But basically he was in those owners, those owners and GMs meetings and basically saying, losing should be an embarrassment. You should never be proud to fucking lose. ⁓ You know, we should not be, you know, we've, he's basically just changing, like it seems like he was changing the culture, but I can also see that with this format, I think Adam Silver in the past couldn't tell who was actually tanking and who the fuck was really bad. And I think with this new format, you can Jax: That is true. That is true. Mm-hmm. Greg: really tell who's really bad and who's intentionally trying to tank. It's going to be a lot easier to point that out, which is why I feel like that's why they put that little caveat in that they could basically, you know, not manipulate, but they can basically, basically manipulate. Yeah. Jax: Not yet, can move if they find they can punish it by removing or reducing odds of moving picks. Greg: Absolutely. So in my mind, I feel like one or two things. One, feel like I've always said this. I just think they're now public. I feel like they're now public when we're talking about, ⁓ we they're rigging this. We're rigging the draft. When I have those allegations of them niggas rigging the draft, if you manipulate odds, nigga, sound like a rig to me. But I know why they're doing it. And I get that. So That's one thing. But the second thing that people are not talking about a lot. Boy, does this affect first round draft picks like when it went like. Everybody's draft pick just got more valuable. Everybody's first round draft pick just got more valuable because you don't have to be a tanking team to have a really good pick. So you could finish ninth, tenth, ⁓ eighth worst, ninth worst shit like you can like the odds. of because normally these niggas will be like mid round picks, 15th pick, 16th, 17th pick, whatever. And now you have the same you have the same odds. You have the same odds as like what you call it, like like point. Jax: I don't like... But I understand them having the same odds and everything, like 10th, yeah, like people with the 10th worst record, they've gotten the number one picks a lot of times recently. think then, wasn't that why the Hawks got the number one pick. Grand they took Risha's eight, but still like, this is like, I don't know how much more valuable this does. Like I think draft picks, especially lottery picks are going to always have like inherent value, but I don't think this makes them any more valuable though. Greg: They for sure because your odds your odds are better like right now like I'll put it to you like this like if This was to be implemented because this was this draft Jax: I think it will be. I think so. I could be wrong, I think, I believe so. But like I said, I could be, I could just be wrong. I don't know. Greg: Because if it was this draft, that means... ⁓ It wouldn't have mattered if the Clippers had won or lost their playing game. OKC would have had the same odds to get the number one pick than anybody else because they owned that pick versus had they lost originally, that would have been dropped down to like a a ⁓ one percent chance versus more percentages higher. ⁓ It's just a matter of like people are going like people are not going to wait like people don't have to wait to see how bad a team is going to be to start trading first round picks. Jax: Also, I just Googled it real fast. The new rules come into effect in the, not this draft, but the next draft, the 2027 draft. Greg: Okay, 2027 draft. Yeah. You also mentioned about them not, no team can have back to back first round picks. mean, back to back first picks and... ⁓ Jax: Yeah, that I don't know if I like, well, that I don't know if I like that, but no team can get three straight top five picks. That one I really don't like. Cause like sometimes niggas just be ass bro. Sometimes they just be perpetually ass and they end up getting sort of lucky when the lottery balls bounce. So like that, I don't really necessarily like that one. Greg: Yeah I think my arguments, I don't feel bad for anybody. I don't feel bad for teams. If I'm being honest, there's no team that I feel bad for that's gonna be a victim of this. Like if you bring up the Washington Wizards, them niggas, the last time they had a 50 win record was in the 1970s or whatever. They've never won 50 fucking games. And you've had a first round pick before. You've had... Jax: They've never had a 51 team. They've never won 50 games. Greg: You had it at least twice and you squandered them niggas or you didn't capitalize or you didn't do what you needed to do. So it's just kind of or like when it comes to the Sacramento Kings, it's like, OK, I don't feel bad for that fucking organization. Jax: I feel bad for the fans of the Kings. Greg: Oh, for sure. But like, but like for me, it's just like we can't we can't hide because the product I feel like the product is at an all time high of like talented basketball players. are talented basketball players that are a lot more skilled than they did in the past. And sometimes we can't tell because niggas are intentionally tanking because they're trying to get a good pick to shape their basketball team, i.e. they're they're not looking for a good pick. They're looking for something to say, they franchise or looking for a fucking wimpy that happens once every six or seven years. And I don't think of. Every once every fucking century. But, you know, like the, you know, you design on the world, the powers of the world or, you know, whatever the case may be. You know, no fan base should have to subject themselves to seven years of straight ass because they're trying to get that pick. Jax: wouldn't be happening once every once every century. Greg: in 2033 right and it's just like bro just make a competent just make a competent team this would help a nigga like the Chicago Bulls when they were just flirting with the playing all the time and it's just like okay like you're you know you're either you're genuinely not good so you you make sure your front office make sure that y'all are competent enough to win more games than 12 or ⁓ you're actually better than what your record says it is because we can tell that you're really fucking tanking. I don't really have an issue with this. I just know that there's going to be new problems. I know that. And like I said, but like anybody that is getting that gets punished for their record because they're genuinely ass. I feel bad. I don't feel bad when I say this. I just feel like bitch get better. I don't know. Like Am I a bad person for saying, hey, nigga, just get better? Like. I'm like, because I look at the Houston Rockets, the Houston Rockets didn't need the tank three straight fucking years. They didn't. When we got Jalen Green, not Jalen Green, when we got Jabari Smith the next year and then the next year we got, I think, Amin Thompson, I believe one of those years. We for sure could have won more games. Jax: No, you're not, you're not, Greg: We intentionally sent John Wall home. We intentionally sent John Wall home. We paid that nigga 40 millions to sit on this fucking, sit on a fucking couch. That nigga could have been, I'm not saying that he's like the Chris Paul of teaching or whatever, but that nigga's guidance and discipline could have done something for that young ass group instead of just let the young players play. Jax: Yeah. They would have loved to have a nigga like John Wall, even a nigga like Lake career John Wall right now. Greg: God damn nigga. Like what the fuck are we doing? It's just like, okay. Now we're just in love with the tanking process. it turned into ⁓ it almost felt like it almost feels like the the depth of the power for it. You know how we talk about the depth of the power for it. I think the as almost like it was almost turning like the depth of like the middling, the the meddling team, like the the mid team, the mid level team. Jax: the meeting. I feel like that started to happen because like I remember when the Hornets with Kimball every year would be the eight seed gets the playoff lose every single like I feel like that when when niggas saw like the Hornets or whatever the fuck they were when niggas saw that team just every single year eight seed lose eight seed lose eight seed they were like man it'd be better to they like man it'd be better to ⁓ fucking ⁓ I remember it'd be better to tank than just go through this and like Greg: Try Danlinahogs. Jax: Low key, I see where they are coming from. Cause you don't want to end up like the heat. Greg: You don't want to end up like the heat, but then at the same time, you don't want to turn into a nigga that just fell in love with potential. Jax: You don't want to end up like the heat and you also don't want to end up like the jazz. It was like a weird line to walk, I feel. Greg: But the jazz got picks though. Jax: the jazz. Like the jazz, were bad. I'm truly under the belief that there was no reason for the jazz to have been as bad as they were this season, Like Roy Martin is good. Like try to win games, bro. I think the jazz have plenty of good players. I don't even know why. I don't know why they even tank. I know why they tank because they got some good prospects, but like they should have been much better, bro. That's all. That's what I think about the jazz. It's going to be funny when they don't. Greg: Exactly. Like some of this stuff was like so egregious. And they want AJ DeBonsa. That's what saying. Jax: If they don't get one of those top three picks, that's going to be the funniest thing ever. Greg: That's what I'm saying. I'm just like, oh, like when we do certain shit like this, it's like. It's like, yeah, I want to be I want to be right behind you all and say, fuck Adam Silver. But I'm looking at the landscape and I'm just like. Am I bugging? Because there's too many niggas glorifying loser right now. Everybody got a tank of fun. Everybody. We got the I'm like, damn. Used to be shame and being a fucking loser. Jax: Sam Hink? Sam Hinkie's impact, He changed basketball for the, he's like the Steph Curry of GMs. Greg: Right. Yeah, and I know there's going to be somebody that's probably going to be I think Mark Cuban came out with a statement or something. There's going to be somebody that's going to, you know, reverse engineer it and, know, they're going find a way to poke holes through it and find loopholes because you can find loophole in anything. But for as far as this call it an overcorrection if you want. I guess my little small heartache is sometimes you need little a little overcorrection just to find a middle ground to some shit like, OK, like this didn't work, but. We can we're in a better spot than we were two years ago where we're just intentionally just not putting drama on the fucking floor, not putting Jerry Jackson on the fucking floor. Like niggas are buying tickets to games and people just out. No. No. Such a soccer mindset, relegation. I think a little soccer. Jax: Yeah. But let's go ahead and round it out with some playoff talk. Because a couple series have closed. Some series are still being extended by the hair there, chinny, chin, chin. But let's talk about Thunder Suns first. Because that was an easy series. was a sweep to Thunder, belt to the Suns. Really not much to talk about. So do you have any comments on that series? Greg: We do not care. ⁓ Jax: All right, I want start off like the, the bat, the blowouts first. So the Spurs, Trail, Blazers, Spurs, 4-1 the Blazers. It's good the Blazers were able to get that win. Wimby was hurt, so that's probably why they got it, to be honest. Unfortunately, it seems like Thiago Splitter will not be their head coach this upcoming season, so sucks for them, sucks for him, but he put himself in a relatively good position because he got the team to the playoffs. I did not expect the Blazers to even get this far in the first place. So shout out to them. Greg: Yeah, I'm proud of them. I'm proud of the Trailblazers for Jax: And school he he had a couple he had some bad games, but like he he hooked a couple of games too like I Yeah Um Greg: Yeah, I got to give him his flowers. He hooped. He hooped. I'm not going to lie. He hooped. He hooped. Then he hooped. It'll be exciting to see what this team looks like. Jax: It's telling me how cold Denny was because truthfully I wasn't watching much Blazers games during the regular season, I got to see how Denny, he only goes right, but niggas can't stop him. He's cold. Greg: Yeah, I'm more excited about them and seeing what this team looked like when Dame comes back. Honestly, because them just. Jax: Yeah. He posted a picture of him like dunking over. I don't think, what is the picture? Yeah, it was a picture. It didn't show the dunk, but like, damn, he got up there. He was finna talk like that, dude. So I'm like, oh shit, Damien's finna be back soon. Remember when Damien shit dunk on niggas, bro? Like. Greg: He's in his element. Bro, his rookie year was something crazy. I'm not gonna lie. Dame Dame 2013 Dame. Hey. Jax: Then you win a duck contest or I'm trippin'. Greg: He won a dunk. He's the only player that won a dunk contest in the three point contest. Jax: All of our goats are getting old, bro. He's not doing that shit no more. Greg: Damn, Yeah, you're right. Yeah, you're right. You got a point there. Jax: Staying on the West Minnesota Managed to win the Seahawk. Let's save that one. Let's go to the East. We can talk about the Yokichin them later Going to the East the Knicks 4-2 the Hawks. The last game was a Actual fact the Knicks won that game 140 to 89 and as somebody who watched small portions of that game I will tell you Greg: Yeah, let's let's let... Yeah, let's, yeah, let's, yeah. Jax: The score doesn't do it justice. still would. Like, it wasn't even this close, bro. They were down by like... Wasn't the score like 60 to like 18 or something like that? Greg: It was it was. Yeah, it was like 72 to 20 at halftime or something like that. It was something to agree to. It reminds me of that one Golden State game against the Boston Celtics, like some years back. I don't think it was a playoff game, but it was like on a Sunday and them niggas got worked from tip off like I'm just like, yo, it's a 50 point blowout already. Jax: Yes. Greg: This is crazy. They genuinely could have gone. Now, honestly, the Knicks, had they locked in a little bit more, they could have got the 200 they wanted to the way they was hoping. It just came out of nowhere, though. Jax: Yeah. But I thought the Hawks could, I think we were talking about prediction before the series. I said the Hawks might win this series. I was completely wrong about that. But I mean, shout out to the Hawks for even getting to the playoffs in the first place. Because when the season started, we was like, ⁓ my fucking gosh. Get ready to learn AJ Devansa. Get ready to learn Darren Peterson. And they ended up going to the playoffs. So things are, even with bad loss, but think of looking up for the Hawks, I think. ⁓ Greg: It was bad. Yeah, I hawkness hook. Yeah. Jax: sliding back to the west because the other series in the east are not finished. Do you want to talk about the Nuggets series first or the Rockets Lakers series first? Greg: Get those bums out the way first, man. Get the Rockets out the way. Jax: I was gonna say which bums, but the Rockets, they lost it. The Lakers won this series, they four to the Rockets. It looked like it was gonna be a sweet. The Rockets came back one, not came back, but they ended up winning two games. And all in all, I think this was actually. Greg: My bad. Jax: a good experience. Austin Reeves just started to come back as well. He played the last two games. ⁓ I don't think Lucas is going to be able to come back in the postseason. I think they've said he hasn't even started running or anything like that. So I don't think. Greg: Mm-hmm. Yeah, he's a little ways back and I don't think that... We obviously don't think that the Lakers are going to beat the Thunder, so I think his postseason is done, ⁓ But get ready for next year, I guess. Jax: Y'all think he's a punk. but speaking on the Rockets a little bit more. actually think that like if they would have got swept, this would have been the worst possible outcome ever before too. Like I think this did them some good. They learned how to win the playoffs. They saw some like serious competition. They went through some ups and downs together. I think this all in all would be good for like a lot of the young court. And I don't want to be defending a white man publicly on my platform. Everybody keep talking about ⁓ really was such a bust. He's this he's a like This is his flight Reed is still a rookie granted last year was his rookie season, but he spent that entire year in the fucking G We barely played this was his rookie season getting some real burn against actual NBA athletes NBA strength all that stuff Yes, he's gonna struggle. He's the he's literally the only point guard on that him and Aaron holiday the only point guards on that team it's Greg: In the fucking G League. Yeah. Yeah. Jax: He's going through a lot right now. So yes, he's going to struggle. Yes, he's weak right now because he's he just got here. Like he's still incredible athlete, great shooter, although he played or he shot pretty poorly this season, but his first playoff. So I just see a whole lot of like reads playing during this and there was just like he's not a finished product. He's going to get better. I'm pretty I believe he's going to get better. We don't know because we don't know the future, but I think it's safe to Greg: I also believe that. Jax: So what do we even everybody oh my gosh trade rate he's so bad he did that like no he's just young he Greg: They say they say the trade, they say the trade everybody. They say the trade everybody like I think everybody on this Rockets team, including Jayshon Tate have been. They've only been the only valid one I've seen to. But every every Rockets player has gotten high praise and they have gotten insanely slandered throughout the whole season. from single to KD when it comes to odd, they regret. They regret trading for him. No, we don't. We don't. We don't regret that. I just think it sucks that that nigga played 70 foot 78 games or 72 games, whatever that we played. And then he ended up having injuries, freak injury in practice. And I feel like it came from Jason on tape, bro. I just can't prove it. I just can't. They're out here. He was diving for Luke Sunday said he was diving for loose balls and Jax: It's been a free injury in practice. I everything. You Greg: bump knees with somebody. I just feel like it was Jason Tate because that's the only nigga that plays hard for real for real like all the time. I can't prove it though. I can't prove it. But if I find out it's him, send that nigga to send that nigga to China, bro. I don't want to I don't want to see that nigga no more. But to your point, to your point, even even Jabari Smith, I was a little bit of a critic of him throughout the season. There was niggas calling him. Jax: He played well, he played well. He didn't have a good game the last time, but he played well. Greg: Yeah. And it seems like he's a playoff riser because even in the Warriors series last year, that nigger stepped up big time, which honestly, had he not stepped up big time last year, he probably would been a part of that KD package to begin with. But he played so well and Jalen Green didn't play as well. And I think they just swapped it out. But even with him, those mad niggas calling him just sorry, Smith Jr. And I couldn't defend it because it wasn't when hit no shit. But that niggas very resilient. That nigga be, you know, that that that nigga is very grounded, very humble. And he be having his moments. So Katie wasn't lying. But it's just like, damn, like I'd be reminded myself like, damn, this nigga is 22. Jesus. That nigga still young. Jax: This is like, seeing this series made me a little bit higher on Jabari. Like, okay, he's not trash. I'm not even saying I thought he was trash, but like, he's a little bit better than I initially expected. I think the Rockets will, they got a little, they got some stuff they need to handle in the off season, get some shit figured out. But I think Jabari will be a part of that core. think Reed will as well. I'm in Thompson too. Greg: Yeah. ⁓ for sure. Jax: I think Kevin Durant and Fred Manfrey are going to be there, but as far as everybody else, I don't know. ⁓ Greg: Yeah, they need to need to fix. They need to fix the bench. And honestly, I would keep Joshua. I would keep Josh Coge looking. I'll keep him. He just can't be the first nigga off the bench, but I'd keep him. Jax: But going to the, talking about the other bombs, guess, the Timberwolves four to the Nuggets. And the Timberwolves, did this without Anthony Edwards, who has, I think he had, they said he had the bone bruise, I believe, but the way the injury looked on the video, looked like he tore something, he didn't, God. But he's supposed to be back in like two or three weeks, so who knows when he's coming back for real. ⁓ They did without Nadeem Vincenzo who tore his Achilles unfortunately. They also did it without Aya Dissouna who had 40 points in I believe what game? I think he had 40 points but then he couldn't play this late. Greg: Game five. Yeah, and he had 32 the game before that and he was on the little roll for sure. Jax: Yeah. So the Timberwolves managed to do all that without them. They beat the Nuggets 110 to 98. What is next for the Nuggets, to be honest? Because now people are, it's a whole lot of Nuggets been waiting for the day to slander Yokes. They're like, oh, he can't be top 20 no more. He's not doing nothing to play off. He got one chip and he's got his three MVPs. got three. I think I had three MVPs, he got his one chip and then he can't do nothing else after, is sounds like it's really a crazy thing to say about somebody that we can't do anything. Crazy thing to say, But now I will just objectively speaking, he looked a lot worse than he ever has. Probably his worst stretch of right or his worst stretch of postseason basketball he's ever played in my opinion. Rudy Gobert took his lunch, which is something that. Greg: ⁓ that nigga got this free MVP's. All right, nigga. Jax: Normally joke it's destroying go bears. So this is a lot different. People are saying he could have been a little bit hampered by injury or something. I don't know but what do the nuggets do? They got Aaron Gordon who is good and valuable, but he's always hurt. Jamal Murray, gets hurt a lot too. He wasn't hurt just last game, I don't believe he just had a poor game. You got Christian Brown who they signed for like $100 million. It was contract kicking next season, but he gave them nothing. This playoffs like. Greg: Not true. Jax: Is there anything that it can do? Do you think can try to make some moves or stay in pattern? What do think? Greg: I think Stan and Pat is crazy when you lost to a team that did not have Anthony Edwards for like the last two games. ⁓ Like they're the damn know they hold to be talking about injuries for the Nuggets. The whole Timberwolves like disintegrated right before our eyes, they're like. ⁓ my God, and I want to. Yeah. Jax: No, you're the two of us are hurt. Yes. And everyone was hurt coming into the playoffs in the first place. Greg: Like I think had like runner's knee at the time. It's like, ⁓ OK. Like, this is not even the normal that we normally see. You know, shout out to Jaden McDaniels for, my goodness, pooping, pooping and talking fit. That's my favorite kind of nigga. Jax: Yeah, he's, I thought he was cold, but he might be colder than I thought. I knew he was good, but he's much 32 and 10 while locking up Jamal Murray, embarrassing Jamal Murray and calling everybody on the Nuggets trash. Like, I gotta give him props. Yeah. Greg: stand on fucking business. feel it. I have nothing nice to say about Yogesh right now. So I'll stay away from that in this conversation. I'll say that for my heartache. But I do have an issue. And it shouldn't be this way, but unfortunately it is. I do have an issue when you make me praise a nigga like Rudy Gobert. Okay. When I have to come out and say Rudy Gobert did his shit, did his thing. clamped you up. I mean, he's known for being clamps, but like when I got to give high praise to Rudy as a nigga that be talking crazy about Rudy at times, I'm not in a good mood. I'm not going to lie to you, but respect to the respect to the Timberwolves. I would like I I feel like I would be rooting for the Timberwolves a lot more if Anthony Edwards was like still, you know, playing because, you know, I just don't think when you're injured and hampered like this, I just. Jax: He's never claimed. Yeah. Greg: I just want a healthier team playing against the Thunder respectfully. But if everybody was. If everybody was healthy for the Timberwolves, this next matchup against the Spurs would be fucking fire. Like I would like I'll be like, Dan, this might go seven to for sure. And it's just like fully healthy. I feel like Timberlake probably beat these niggas and beat the Timberlake beat the Nuggets in five for real. Lowkey is sweet. Jax: would be like, yeah, they'll give them a run for their money for sure. Greg: Loki is Jax: If he's like 100 % healthy, possibly. Greg: I'm saying because even swept niggas before that's not nothing new. He been he been he been the legend killer for a minute. Sweat, Sweat Braun and Sweat Katie. You think he can't sweep Yogesh nigga? He can. He can't if he healthy enough. So that's the only reason why it's bittersweet for me. Nasri did a really good job too. People don't talk about Nasri enough for me and from from my liking. And oh, that other guy, I forgot his name. Was it names Tarrant? Jax: Yeah. Greg: Terrence Shannon. Jax: Karen Shannon, yeah. Karen Shannon Jr. who every time like last year he did the same thing. Like he gave his moments in the playoffs where he just goes crazy. You're like, ⁓ damn, maybe he should play more. Then he don't really play in the regular season. Then boom, playoffs. He has another moment. Like I remember he did it last year against OKC. So, damn, he's nice. He's nice for sure. Greg: Rock with him too. He is nice and and they got them and they got them black uniforms as go around. I'm fucking with it. I fuck with that. Jax: Yeah, I like their uniforms. staying on the West Roof, well, mean, winning against them, because I assume we're both under the belief that the Thunder and the Spurs will win their respective series. OK. Greg: Yeah, I'm unless the timber wolf do some shocking shit, which I'm I'm not opposed to them doing like I'm not saying that they're incapable of doing it. It could happen because you're. It is going to be an effort, but at the same time, we're talking about the Spurs team. This is a first play. This is a first playoff run. So anything can happen. It's not like this is a season vet going on around here, but. Jax: Yeah, but it's going to be an effort though. You're have to shoot. Yeah. Greg: We'll see how it goes, but I'm looking forward to a healthy Spurs team and a healthy Thunder team playing in the Western Conference finals. That's really what I'm looking forward to. Jax: Well, hopefully they sweep, both these teams like sweep them and they can just like rest until, actually no, I need the Timberwolves and the Spurs to go seven games. I need to go eight games actually. I need the Spurs to lose, how about that? That's much better. But going back to the East, cause there's three matches that have not finished just yet. I would like to talk. Greg: ⁓ Jax: about the Caz Raptors first, four or five. This series tied three, three is going into a game seven. Who do you have taking that series, Greg? Greg: Toronto. Toronto wins it. ⁓ Yes, Toronto wins it. Toronto wins it. Toronto wins it. Toronto wins it. ⁓ First of all, first and foremost, shout out to Jamal Shed. I love seeing Houston Cougars play playoff basketball. I'll shout ⁓ out the other one when we get to that matchup, but we'll focus on Jamal Shed. I thought that nigga, I almost thought that nigga gamed it in the fourth quarter when they passed him. Jax: Really? Go Foos. You Greg: And they passed it to that nigga in the baseline. was like, ain't no way that nigga would've hit that hole. And he didn't, but he didn't. He in fact did not hit that head. I fucked with that. I know they're playing in Cleveland. This is not the same Cleveland with LeBron. I see a trend going on where these niggas is putting the ball and Evan move his hands in the last seconds. And I don't know how I feel about that. He scored the first one. That last one. Jax: I mean, they're not it, though, but... For what is worth, he did score. He did score. Greg: I mean, even if you wanted to be in his hands, ⁓ a deep three pull up was not on my bingo card or a nigga like Evan Mobley, respectfully, when I have a Donovan Mitchell and James Harden. All right. ⁓ And on top of that, when it comes to the game seven, ⁓ I still fuck with my nigga. I fuck with my nigga heavy. I know what game sevens look like for a James Harden nigga. He could prove me wrong. He could. Jax: That's what I'm talking Exactly. Yeah. He could. That's the thing with James James Harden does have good game in the playoffs, but when he has a stinker, he has a stinker. Greg: Yeah, and I think he I mean, he's had a stinker in this in the series already. Don't be surprised if he has a 15 point game. It may not be like a you know, it may not be no 30 and it may not be like, oh, he only scored six points. Yeah, probably, you know, 15. It might be a 15 pointer, which means Donovan Mitchell got to step up and not lose, you know, not lose. You know, you I mean, this your team. We honestly we shouldn't be talking about James Horton. Jax: Yeah. Greg: This your fucking team, nigga. Donovan Mitchell been, I ain't gonna lie, Donovan Mitchell been coasting. When it come to niggas that get knocked out the playoffs. Jax: He has trouble too. It's because it's because it's lot of hard hate. it's easy. It's easy for people to latch on to the oh James Harden. He's searching to play up. like James Harden hasn't been too bad. Donovan Mitchell. He also hasn't been like terrible. He doesn't step it up. Me personally though. I still do think the Cavs can pull this off. I think they are the better team. But I mean, we'll see. Yeah, they can. But really is really the biggest thing. next match up, going to talk about Pistons and Magic. Greg: You do need it. ⁓ they can. Jax: Did you watch this game? Greg: I did. I'm not gonna lie. I've been back and forth on who I wanted to win this game. I'm be honest with you. Was that first I came in at first I came in. I'll say first of all, imagine I gonna make this a series. They made it a series and they made that a series really quick. And then it got to the point where I was like, damn, I look he want the Orlando Magic to upset these niggas. I'm not gonna lie. But then K dropped 40 last month. I'm like, damn, okay. I see resilience. Fuck. Jax: Like I would, would walk. I think whoever wins this match, well, I think if the Pistons win this match, because I do want the Pistons to win, think that, because I like Cade, so. But I think if they get to the next round, I think they're just going to get like, not like destroyed, but seeing this, just really makes you realize how much the Pistons need somebody other than Cade to score. And he's literally their only source of offing. Like Jalen Durin hasn't been good this entire series. Nobody else on that, nobody on the team gets you like Ron Holland. He's not playing because he can't shoot. I'm in, I'm in, but Asara Thompson, he can't shoot. He's great on defense. He can't shoot. Nugger Robinson be having off nights and he's only good for shooting. So if he's not doing that, what is he doing? Who else can't shoot? Really the whole thing. It's just Cade is really the only, Cade and Danis Jenkins are the only people who can shoot. And like they just need more. that's why I just, thought the Pizzas were going to this. I thought since they were number one, I thought the Pizzas were going to handily beat the Magic because Magic hate their head coach and everything, but they made it into a battle. So I don't know bro. But I do think that. Greg: Yeah, and Well, I will say to their credit. Well, I'll say this is the only thing I'll say when it comes to the defense of the Pistons to the defense of the Pistons. This is not a normal AC on the Orlando Magic. Talent wise have no business being an AC team to begin with, to begin with. So all this really does all this really lets me know is that one. The Hornets would have made this a series to almost almost cancel. Jax: Yeah I it was the Hornets in the playoffs. Like yesterday, we made us a good series. Like game seven, it's been a nice series, but I wanted to see the Hornets in the playoffs so bad, Greg: I'll you off the road. Yeah, like that. All they really told me was, OK, Orlando is better than their seed, better than their seeding. The Hornets would have gave them niggas a nice little run. It might have been a seven game series with them niggas, too. It would have been more exciting. Oh, I won't say I don't know if it'll be more exciting. I can't tell. It'll definitely be a lot more physical because I'm going to fucking like each other. They they fucking hate each other. And then when it comes to shooters, Jax: Yeah, I would say. They hate each other. Greg: You know, you know who is a good shooter though? Malik Beasley. You know, just wanted to put that shit out in the air because a white man stole his money. I just want to put out in the air. I truly do be feeling bad about that nigga sometimes. Like every time I think about that, I'm like, damn. The first thing I'm like, man, they really hold this nigga and exposed everything about this nigga and nothing came out of it. He didn't get a job and they didn't indict him or arrest this nigga. And then the second thing that comes into my mind is how the fuck. Do you owe a nigga 13K off of some haircuts? And we'll just keep it moving because I still think about that. I just let the barber shop again. I paid that in go 40. Fuck you. Fuck you talking about 13K. Jax: like this It's never getting to that point No, I'm going to stop cutting you because nigga, what are we doing? Greg: Yeah, as a barber, I would never approach you on some 13 game. We would start at a hundred. Honestly, well, a real nigga like me, where's the 40? You ain't got 40 on you right now, bitch? The fuck going on? Where the 40 right now, nigga? But if I let that shit pile up, I think my max is like two haircuts worth, maybe. After the second haircut, I'm like, where the rest? Where is it? Jax: Even if he is like, like if you come and say, oh, I'm gonna be your regular client. And like, mean, and you know he's an NBA player, like, okay, just assuming the money good. But it's like, I know you got some, I know you got Cash App, Venmo's, I know you got one of them apps on your phone. Send me that. Greg: All them apps we were just talking shit about. Jax: I know you got one of them on your phone. Send me my money. Greg: Bitch, I don't care if it's PayPal. Figure it out, nigga. But to get back on this series, ultimately, I kind of want Orlando to win this, only because the Pistons being the number one seed is different than the Thunder being the number one seed. And I think they need the restructures and stuff with the Pistons when it comes to this roster. And I think sometimes when you go a little bit too far in the playoffs, it gives you a false realization of what the fuck's going on. I think that's what happened with the Atlanta Hawks when they went to the conference finals and beat the 76ers. They just started standing back because they just felt like we can get back to this bitch again and it never happened. So you just started playing fool's gold and now they're finally getting back to. You know, relevancy getting back to the playoffs, so I feel like. Orlando. Just. Jax: You went too early. Greg: Ain't nobody tell you to hit the reset button, you know, retool, do some shit. But I feel like there'll be a lot more. Same with the fucking same with the Rockets. Honestly, had they gotten swept, I feel like it would have been an overcorrection. You lost you lost right where you needed to kind of lose. And you can really have an honest conversation about your roster instead of just being emotional. I can't believe we got swept by. Jax: Yeah. Greg: a non-Luca and non-Reeves 41 year old LeBron James basketball team instead of just being objective about it and be like, okay, let's think logically. I think the Pistons can think logically after a seven game series and not be too disappointed. Unless you get blown out like the Atlanta Hawks in that last game, then that's kind of crazy. That's a little crazy, but we don't have to stay on that. We still got one more matchup to talk about. Jax: The last series, the Celtics 76ers. This going into game seven and I'm going to be on it, man. I believe they played today. I need the 76ers to win, bro. Because Joel, I'm just not, because MBE's playing, he's playing sort of well as well as he can. Cause you know, it's just been a whole lot, but I've seen something they said like he's never, he like, he never beat the Celtics in the playoff. And I'm like, you know what, bro? Yes. He's only three against the Celtics. Greg: Yeah, this was not in my book. ⁓ Yeah. Really? I didn't know that. Jax: So I'm just, and be, get your one final send off and then just like give up the ghost, that's your one, your one, your one series beat the Celtics. Be like, yes, I finally did it. Did you want to championship? No. You want to MVP though. You beat your arch and your arch nemesis in the playoffs. can, you can end everything. You can, you can just retire. He's not going to, but he can just retire and be happy. Greg: Honestly, honestly, honestly. Honestly, this could. OK, this is what is one thing. Because now I'm looking at the fucking bracket, honestly. And we've been talking about the Knicks being as all the time, but they keep fucking winning. That's besides the point. I'm just being a hater right now. But I would I would root for Joel and be just off of the strength that you played the Knicks. And that's a team that. Jax: You can't, the sixes can beat the nicks. Greg: You can beat them and then you can go to your first conference finals ever. You you still never made a conference finals ever. You've never made it so complicated ever in your career. You can beat the Knicks, go to the conference finals. I don't give a fuck if you want to lose. But even if you even if you win, you're playing anywhere between the calves, Raptors, Pistons and Magic. All them niggas look beatable to me. Nobody looks hand. Jax: ⁓ that is true. Yeah, respect to me, none of those teams have anything for Embiid. Embiid is up and down. You never know what you're going to get with Embiid because it's his body and everything. like, can't really, if Embiid feeling good, Kat can't guard him. Like, Jared Allen can't, Evan Low can't, nobody on the Raptors can. Wendell Carter can't, Jalen Jarrett, we know he can't. Greg: Nobody looks better than the Boston Celtics, nigga. That's what I'm saying. Right. Can't get my guard down, nigga. And he gon' foul out. We know he can't do it. So I wasn't even I wasn't even turn this into 76 propaganda, but. We'll just focus on the main thing, beat the Celtics. And then once we get to the next, that's a good like you. They're good enough because honestly, y'all got bodies for Jalen Brunson, bro. Jalen Brunson is not unbeatable, bro. I didn't see that to get locked up by both Thompson twins. Jax: Yeah. Yeah. And on the other end, Jalen Brunson can't guard none of y'all. He can't guard Tyrese Maxxie. He can't guard BJ Edgecombe. Greg: One of them. He can't go. Eric about do music, go start playing again if you start garden pause doors. So. Jax: I want the sixes to win. Greg: Like I'm convinced now and also. ⁓ and also shout out. To the Houston Cougars again, Quentin Grimes. Shout out to that brother. I have Rudy interest. I got to see you. I got to see. All I'm saying is if the Boston Celtics lose, that fan base is going to be so pissed because Jalen Brown tried extra hard to like keep the team relevant when they could have, you know, quote unquote tank since. Jax: EW! ⁓ ⁓ yeah. Greg: This is the last time you could ever tank again and get something beneficial. It's like damn, you could have tainted. We could have got AJ the bouncer and be ready with that with a healthy Jason Tatum, Jaylen Brown, one of them other three forwards, whatever. And if you lose you. Jax: Yeah. But that Celtics team is actually not bad though. So even without Jason Tatum, like they're not bad enough to tank. But then again, a lot of teams run bad enough to tank and they tank. So there's that. But another reason I do want the Sixers to win, cause the Celtics, I low key want them to lose. So Jason Tatum could just rest bro. Like you don't need to make it stop bro. Actually recover. Greg: They were good. Yeah, so is-is- He look he is he look he is forcing it. I won't lie. It's like damn. I don't I don't I don't want to do this too. Jax: years. Just just chill bro. You you proved it. come back early but they don't come on bro. Just think about your career dog. Like that's why that's really another reason like he just need to stop playing go rest up and then come back next season. Greg: It's It's funny. Because we're telling this nigga Jason Tate on the rest and we're telling Joel and B ramped his bitch up. Go crazy nigga. Jax: Because MV only got, MV got 15 minutes left. Jason Tatum, he got more than that. MV don't got time for this. MV need to get it. Yes. Greg: Standing on borrowed time. That's real. Jax: We don't know how much more Joel Embi we're gonna get. ⁓ Jason Tatum coming back this early, it proves that, okay, he can play without the Achilles, or not without the Achilles, but he can play after the Achilles. So like, just chill, come back next season. You proved everybody wrong. That's what's up, congratulations. Now just rest, figure it out next season, bro. Greg: You right. but up the Achilles is crazy. ⁓ yeah, for sure. We got Jalen Brown. Jax: I that this is everything we got though. Greg: Yeah, I think that is everything. Is it about that time? Jax: if so. Greg: Absolute fucking Louie. ⁓ actually, OK. ⁓ Since mine is basketball related, I'll go first and we'll end with yours. My high take. It's about your kitchen a negative way and I'm trying my best not to. ⁓ get too personal. I guess I don't want it to be like, ⁓ like this nigga, this nigga going in for no reason. ⁓ and I'm tired of using the dick riding analogy either, you know, but what I will say is I am kind of tired of how you'll get just viewed in the media. ⁓ Specifically, when that nigga gets the gets the tussling or roughhousing or pushing and shoving. Jax: Hahaha Greg: other niggas. I hate how it gets reported. I hate how the commentators react when that nigga gets into shit because the first thing you bitch ass niggas do sometimes is just talk about his fuck ass brothers. I don't give a fuck about his fuck ass brothers. What the fuck are they going to do? Yeah, they're showing them on the TV. Mind you, feel like one of the, mind you, I think one of them got reported. think one of them hit a woman one time. I don't know. I forgot the, the, ⁓ Jax: Nobody think about them niggas bro like they be showing them on the tv and stuff. I'm like, I don't give a fuck Greg: I have to bring it up. It is factually true, though. I'm not lying about that. But I wasn't trying to put that on a nigger jacket, but I'm just like, man, y'all, if his name if his name was Jamal, y'all be talking about that. They could totally different. I talking about his brother like they fucking goons. I don't care. You didn't even come up on the fucking court. They will be arrested. They will be escorted out and be banned from every fucking arena ever. All it all it is is them niggas just standing up. Jax: Exactly. Greg: and yell it. Ooh! Ooh! Jax: Ooh. And also NBA players are big as hell too. Like, Yogi's brothers are also gigantic, but so is everybody else. So everybody on the court. What are we talking about? Greg: I'm saying, I'm saying like when it is just such one of the it's one of the weirdest, weirdest things that I always think, because at least with James Johnson, when they talk about like the myth of James Johnson, a film like Beat Niggas Up or doing whatever the fuck. Yeah, we don't really have no footage of it, but he's an NBA player. So it's relevant and niggas can co-sign and be like, OK, like me, then they go like, I think it don't play. We're talking about a Nick. We're talking about people that will never suit up and play basketball in the NBA and talk. And the first time Yolkis gets in the scrimmage is, oh, you know, you got them brothers. What the fuck they finna do? Who fucking cares? Who fucking cares? That's why niggas like Lebron don't be liking them European niggas because they know they get viewed. The conversation goes different. The amount of times Yolkis granted, you'll get a bad series. And then you got the push in this shoving almost damn near every fucking game. First of all, who you feeling? First of all, who you feeling like? Because you had that you didn't have the energy. Jax: Yeah I'm not gonna lie, DeTemple was trying to bait that nigga into doing it and he fell for every single time. He fell for every single time. Greg: I'm saying bro If you're lat if your last name was Dord if your last name was Brooks You would have been ejected at least one of these games already at least for fucking sure So who you feeling like cuz you didn't have the same energy with the Morris twins You never had to you did not have the same energy for that nigga. Don't give fuck. So That's my hot take ⁓ Stop talking about that niggas brothers. Let that be his own man. It's like I would have respected more if y'all was talking about like, Yoke-age having hands or Yoke-age, like you don't want to mess with Yoke-age. Y'all out here talking about, hey, watch out now. You know you got his brothers. Y'all talking about them niggas like, ⁓ Nick and Joey Bosa's lineage. We talking Big Tuna. Y'all talk about them niggas like, like, if you get, if you left, if you left this arena, like nigga, it might be up. Joey Battas might get you. Man, fuck you. Fuck this. I'm tired of y'all praising this white man for literally anything, bro. Who cares? That's my high take. Jax: I like it. I like it. Greg: you Jax: All right, my hot take. The Michael Jackson movie was bad. I'm gonna say the Michael Jackson movie was bad. That's my hot take. That's my hot take. Yeah, I'm a big Michael Jackson fan. Did not enjoy, like the performances were cool when he did the, what was he performing? Was it Beat It or Billie Jean or one of them? Greg: ⁓ Damn you wanna go easy into it? Damn! Jax: We did the move all like that was cool, know? Yeah, the thrilling part was cool as well. But overall, I the movie was bad. I knew. Greg: Thriller. His Thriller performance was nice. I like Thriller. Jax: I knew a lot of people had dropped out of the film where they use their lawyers to be like, no, you can't portray me in the film. So I already knew coming into it, it wasn't going to be as in-depth as I liked it. But with that movie, the bar was low, but fuck, you did not reach that bar either. This one, can say the least, but I will still be seeing part two because, like I said, does Michael Jackson shit mean something me? I'm actually a big Michael Jackson fan. So I will be seeing part two, even though I did not like part one. You want to hear more about my thoughts on this movie? Go to go watch the redacted show They dropped a YouTube video where we talked about it with them. So you want to go figure out or go here what else I had to say about And also Mike the funny the funniest shit is about the movie though when that nigga Mike came Greg: ⁓ shit. Well, let me step back. Jax: N***a, no! That was the funniest part of the movie. There was like 20 years, there was all in there 20. You're like, hey guys, let's play swiss, it'll be like the old days. It was like, n***a, no! Greg: NIGGA NIGGA NIGGA NO Nigga, no, we getting pussy now nigga. That shit was funny Jax: Thank you. Greg: laugh hard enough at the theater in the theaters when that shit happened. can't believe I did not address that in the fucking in the fucking pod with Dana and Fig. But yeah, that was one of my that was one of the funniest moments for me. My goodness. Jax: Hey, I don't take such a shit! No! I was too good! Greg: It was crazy as they didn't invite that nigga to play basketball. They just said, nigga, no. Jax: Cause you're trying to play some damn twister and then you're like, what are we talking about? Greg: He didn't give him a compromise. You can hoop with us. Nothing. No, no, I've seen it. I've seen footage. Jax: You think Michael Jackson can hoop? You think can hoop? Actually no. Isn't Indiana, that's the basketball. Isn't Indiana, that's the, like that's, you said they got like courts everywhere in Indiana, right? Greg: Yeah, so it's a bad. It's a hoop. It's a hoopstick. It is one. It's a hoopstick. Jax: Yeah, so, okay, might get a Polly Hoop. I might get, sure, a Polly Hoop, bro. Greg: He probably he probably got a little jump shot. But I remember there was a commercial with Michael Jackson and Michael Jordan back in the 90s. And I mean, you know, once you get older, if you don't use it, if you don't use it, you'll lose it. So maybe that's one of those things. But yeah, that can dribble for shit. I was like, God damn, I look like a fucking child. Jax: Fair. really? Well, he more of a he he uses feet more. He don't he don't don't dance with your hands. He dances with his feet. So yeah, post game crazy. Greg: He got mad footwork. He had he had he had the intangible. He he had the skill set. He had the skill set. And then he looked at nothing. We're saying that. Michael probably rather than go for him. You can show rather than go. He had the footwork and technique. Jax: I know niggas trying to press him on the line. Not what happened. These niggas can be dust niggas. Greg: That niggas route trip is probably insane nigga. Look at like a Mario Cooper in it bitch. ⁓ my God. We gotta do a TikTok one day about this shit bro. ⁓ my God. I know he can't throw for sure, but all he would just have to learn how to do is catch the ball. He'd be good. I think his hand eye coordination good enough to do it. The only problem is I think the niggas like five nine. Jax: Bye. You First rate has to be good. He's like 5'9", and we're like 130 pounds, bro. Like, you'd get killed. Greg: Yeah, right. That's the only that's the only thing. But flag football. ⁓ yeah, that nigger. Go, go Olympics. Boy, what? Jax: I'm sorry. The Olympics? If they put Mike Jackson in the moat? Listen, bro. Put Jafar on the team. Put Jafar on the team. ⁓ Also, I will say, Jafar, I thought he did a good job. I don't think it wasn't the acting that was the problem. It was just the script, I guess. I'm gonna ahead. Greg: ⁓ my god! Absolutely. The writing. Yeah. Having a having a nigga say he at the line before they say, it's crazy. Yeah, this shit actually does mean something to me. We're going to make a talk about this soon. But ⁓ I want to just put it out there. I enjoyed the movie, but I also understand Jackson's standpoint. Like Jack said. If you want to learn more about. How how our feelings were about it. I have a link down below to that YouTube video and also, you know, Jackson's hatred for light skinned niggas that portray other ⁓ dark skinned people. It's fine. It's fine. I get where you're coming from. It's fine. No, I understand. I just have to I just have to say it out loud because it's funny when I say it out loud. Because. Jax: Yeah. Okay, okay. Alright, nigga. Greg: but I think that wraps everything up. Jackson, last words. Jax: ⁓ I will still say go see the Michael Jackson movie. It's Michael Jackson. Like you might not feel the same way as me. So I would still say go see that movie. Greg: Absolutely. They won't. promise they won't feel the same way. I promise you. I'm gonna let you know right now. Jax: Ha No, I'm in the minority. Everybody like that. I'm in the minority. So, y'all Greg: Yeah. You do you in line with the with the Rotten Tomatoes review. You have them niggas. The 28 percenters. ⁓ And as far as for me. ⁓ The opposite of crazy is the opposite of crazy is also crazy. OK. Let's keep that in mind. doing the polar opposite to counter react some craziness and some bullshit. Jax: You Yeah, I'll be there. Ahem. Greg: This is bad. That can be with anything. A lottery, NBA lottery draft. Equal rights. List goes on. I won't go any further. But just keep that in the back of your mind. All All right, y'all. We'll catch y'all niggas next week. Jax: I don't know what to say with this.
