- Thomas: But, Megan Thee Stallion and Klay Thompson. What are your thoughts, man? What are your thoughts? Internet on fire. Malcolm: Man, think this is always one of them things, bro. Like one, it's so many people that are so overly invested in this, bro. Like these people don't know you, they do not care about you, and it's not your relationship. None of us know about what these people have going on behind closed doors. Yes, Megan said he cheated. She said a lot of things about what dudes have done in the past, and they haven't all been true. I'm not sitting here trying to pick a side or decipher or, but I'm like, the amount of time and energy that people spend on celebrity relationships and trying to understand every core detail and what's fabricated and what's not. It's just like, dude, you really, really need a job and a hobby. It's just no way that this is what's top of mind for you. I get it. It's nothing wrong with a little internet discourse, but I'm saying people have like real deal like think pieces over this like, oh, like I'm talking about going on entire rants about men and gender norms and relationship dynamics. You just your Amazon shift starts in two hours bro. Like what are you talking about? You have forklifts to drive and you're talking about like saying people I saw people I said I people in the comments of clay Thompson of clay, a four time NBA champion Hall of Famer second greatest shooter of all time clay Thompson. It was real life humans in there saying we only knew you because of Megan Thee Stallion. It's people in the comments wishing that he tears his ACL, people in the comments saying that he's sorry. I'm like, y'all are ready to flood a dude because your favorite artist posted a story and y'all just like, do y'all not have brains for yourselves? It's just no way. Like I get it, taking sides and I know that I'm sure that most of the women like when you see a black woman, like black woman, I'm sorry, come out and like make a claim like this. I'm sure it's something that is taken very seriously because it's just like. you know, black women supposed to be kind of like protected and nurtured. I understand all that. But these people do not know you. And we do not need to hear your think pieces and your your takes ⁓ on what could really be brewing behind. You don't know these people. They don't know you. So please stop trying to interject yourself and like become like this this relationship. Jeannie and like know all because most of the people I see commenting on this are either a not in a successful relationship themselves in a relationship at all for that matter and two who are you like we don't shut up man we don't care i i smell like i'm like bro and only see our people going in a frenzy for this why bro why Thomas: Distractions. ⁓ Malcolm: Go work. do like go outside. Who cares? These people don't know you, bro. Stop. Thomas: Yeah, think regardless of, you know, what's facts, what's not, first off, everyone who has harsh judgments, I hope that you yourself have never cheated. I hope that you yourself are getting to it because these are two people getting to it. These are both people at the end of the day. They're still millionaires. ⁓ Malcolm: These are multi-millionaires and we are sitting here talking about, Clay didn't deserve her, ⁓ Meg is lying about this. He's doing this, he's... Thomas: Man, people worried about Clay, people worried about Megan. my thing is, yes, okay, on a human level, it suck. I understand that, right? You don't want to see anybody get cheated on, assuming that's happened. I'm not going to say, you know, whether it's real or not. I ⁓ don't know, not in the relationship. I'm not, ⁓ don't know people. Malcolm: None of us are. So no one should have these... Now all of a sudden everyone has this backstage access into Megan Thee Stallion's personal life and Klay Thompson's personal life. Shut up. Thomas: Yeah, and I do understand that once things hit the internet, it becomes everybody business. I understand that. However, it's up to you to, you know, choose what business to mind. I think we should be focused more on if you commit a crime, the federal government says that you did it, you're deserving of the death penalty, you might get shot to death. I think that's a little bit more important. ⁓ Malcolm: Yeah, I think that that that I just think there's a lot more could... That can be, that we can kind of like focus on brother. I mean, we are still in an ongoing nuclear atomic stockpile conflict with a foreign country. In terms of coming up like there's a lot of stuff that I think we can ⁓ in here. Like I said, this doesn't mean that people aren't entitled to have internet discourse and have their own opinions. I just think there should be a bit. better discernment on what we. put our energy and time into reacting and responding and making think pieces about. Because I've never seen anyone go this crazy ⁓ new book came out or a new policy that may help low income Just Megan and Clay, I just, we're bro.
