Jax: Bro, I was like, my- Greg: It really might be over, nigga. What you be paying? Like sweats. Jax: Yeah, it was like the sweats I was wearing or whatever too thing. like our, what's it called? The shorts we had didn't have pockets. So I was wearing pants over that. And then like, I left them on the chair when we started playing. And then when everything was over, I went to go pack up all my stuff. Cause like my stuff was scattered throughout the gym. Cause I was just moving around and I went to go grab my pants and they were not there. We caught the nigga in the first place. Like. We didn't catch him in the act, but we figured out like ⁓ it was him who took my fucking pants So he called and now he's ducking Claude's calls and everything. I'm just like my nigga Yes, bro, like give me my fucking pants back Greg: ⁓ my God. Over some pants? You know what brand it was? I'm trying to figure this out. Like, why was that nigga so pressed? Jax: Well, I didn't get it. No? It was just like the mad pants. Huh? Greg: ⁓ BCG? You said the BCG, the Academy, the Academy bread. Jax: No, it was like the mad pants I wear. They're like the black ones that have, it was just those, like, they're nice pants, but like, this is my pants, my niggas like, give me my pants, like. It's very, very annoying. Greg: ⁓ okay. ⁓ okay.

Is it like a full chord, half chord thing? Jax: No, court, was how many teams? Four? And like, we all ended up playing each other and everything. It might take one of course, but I digress. It really could be at Sherman Bear and they're taller than everybody else, so. Greg: ⁓ you had to say with sure. That was that was a bucket. No, that was that was easy. Jax: Yeah, okay. Yeah. Greg: Yeah, I'm. No, man, I was. Our company does a does like the same thing. They do like intramural stuff. I signed up for that last like two, three weeks ago. The motherfucker was full court.

Look, if I was a if I was a guard, for real, I would have been cooked. Jax: Yes. Do y'all be practicing this stuff? Greg: Hell no. We don't. We just all go out there. like it's it's just mad employees and they just do it at like random times of the day because our work niggas work niggas work all types of hours. So my shit was like Wednesday Wednesday at like 1 p.m. Mind you I got like a meeting at like two thirty. All right bro. Let's get this. ⁓ hell yeah. Jax: Okay, so I'm gonna just go out there. Yes. That is awesome. Did you play, Steve? Greg: I still play, bro. I still play. got buckets. I'm so glad I'm a big man. Because I was the last I was definitely the last to go walking down on court like jogging down that court. Trey. Yeah, it's a common. Yeah, it's like. Everybody has at least, I would say, at least played. Jax: You That's a dude. That's very funny. Are people actually good? Or? Greg: some form of high school basketball. Like if you're if you're a white guy, I could tell ⁓ you're one of those AAU white schools that just shot threes. Everybody looks very stereotypical. There's there's niggas that dunk, but that doesn't matter in this era of basketball. I could just shoot a three and we still win. But that athletic shit don't mean nothing in the intermurals. We got like a real ref. Wait, damn. You be they be giving out tax. So I know I ain't signed up to watch city basketball and get disrespected tech. I was fair. Fair nigga. That's fair. Jax: You what I Excuse me, I guess, you know. Yeah, I guess. Greg: anyway, it's the podcast for casuals. If you are a casual, this is the show for you. Tap in. You're dropping reels again. The Tic Tocs are running again. It's a long time coming. ⁓ Jax: Yeah. Greg: Almost posted another one, but I was back when Jack's had hair. I said, is going to. I said, this is a little dated. Jax: No. Greg: But before we get into all the things we need to do, we can't forget to pay bills. And you know I gotta pay bills because this soundboard out here tweaking. Where are you at? There we go. Donations. Donations. Here we go. Yeah, man, let's go ahead and get into a link down below. A little graphic we got down below. Oh, yeah, Jackson, go ahead and get into the things that we just we do not care. Do not care about. Tiger was arrested again. They said it was for D-E-U-R. ⁓ Jax: He got DUI. Yeah. And his car rolled over and everything like that. And respectfully, this be happening to Tiger. Unfortunately, every decade, once every 10 years or something like that, you average it out, this just be happening to Tiger. Ain't nothing wrong with Tiger. He just like to have fun a little bit. He blew zero on the, what you call it, on the little breathalyzer, but. Greg: and I bet the laser. Jax: You know, the picture, I'm not gonna show the mug shot, but he looked a little, he could have been a little geeked, I don't know, but other than that. Tiger, no it's just Tiger. You playing good too actually. You playing good too. Greg: That was hooping. his son up next. And his son up next. I ain't gonna hold you. What's his name? Charlie? That nigga's a hooper. Jax: for he's son up next to like geek or to do good and go? Greg: I was talking about golf, nigga. Jax: How old can you be to start professional growth? Because I don't tiger with young. Greg: I mean, he could look he started 13, I think. Jax: That's all this song is? Oh, this song is Seventeen, nevermind. Greg: ⁓ yeah. Jax: or his son's finna, whatever. No matter what his son is finna start hooping soon, so. Greg: I mean, could he geek? mean, possibly. Possibly. I wouldn't wish that on him, it wouldn't surprise me if he geeked. I'll put it to you. Jax: He says he's going to Florida State for ⁓ golf. Is Florida State a party school? I don't know nothing about Florida State for real. It seemed like a party school. Greg: Florida State. And Florida State where that one QB came from? On that show Last Chance U? Jax: James? What's your favorite thing? Greg: Oh, yeah, for Enby, Malik something. I forgot his name. He was a light-skinned ass, man. Jax: Either he came from Florida State or he went to Florida State after. can't remember, but I'm pretty sure. Greg: I think he started at Florida State, went to Indy, and then he like transferred to like Utah State or some other state. Some other places and still got caught up. Well, his first stop, he got caught up with cocaine. He could get geeked out. It is Florida. It is Florida. You are close to Miami. Who knows, Who knows? But, know, I just... Jax: Yeah, something like that. into that. Greg: I'd be feeling bad because what if this is like his only two like. Car accidents in life. Now you are now you are car cat, now you're a car crash or. Jax: He's been in like three. He's been in like three. And they've all been like, no, this is like his third. Greg: I thought it was the second one. ⁓ shit, I don't remember the second one then. Jax: No, because the first one was when the girl or his wife like beat up his car. Yeah. And then like, think, okay, I think, I think it has been like every 10 years or something like that. Like I think like 2020 or something like that, he got in another car accident. Cause like he had her in a jack or something like that. Greg: Yeah, I know the infamous one. Yeah, I know that one. See, I don't remember the 2021. ⁓ I don't know, man. I get it. I don't know. It sounds like the average American to me. Stay away from Houston. I'll tell you that much. We do not care. We're from that city. Next, Stephen A. Smith and Jason Woodlock. Even again, I'm be honest with you. This all stemmed Cam Newton of all people. Jax: Yeah, this is Tiger being Tiger. I can't believe it. I don't even know how this started. just know, I just saw a video of Stephen A like, don't like, he like started the GoFundMe called like the, what do call it? He was like, it's the fat bastard GoFundMe. And he threw like a hundred dollars in there, something like that. And like, that's, that's all I really know about it. Greg: Yeah, think originally this was first of all, was Cam. Cam Newton had this bright idea to platform Jason Whitlock and question him about like the bad takes that he's had or like the, you know, I like, you know, I forgot what you would call them, but basically like not chastising them, but just kind of like confronting him like, OK. These are the things you said, or like, you we don't we don't fuck with certain things that Jews that are ex-women or whatever the case may be. And at some point, they lean into like, all right, be honest. Like this, this even a shit just feels very personal. Like, like what what is it with you? Like what's like? Because obviously, this is not for show. And basically, long story short, what I was just like, oh. Jax: Yeah. Greg: Lowkey, Jason Willow was really going down play. He was like, you know, this is your show. I'm really not trying to. You know, I didn't already say what I said is on the Internet. He's not like he's I know you work for him. Oh, no. mean, look, this is your words, your words. don't mean it got to be my words. Cam was that initial. Well, I was like, I mean. Jax: Yeah, I'm doing it. It's a very... I hate Zane's world. He's a very messy human being. Like, why you acting like that, bro? He's trying to move on. Let him move on, but... Greg: He is. He's messy. Because look. Like, like for the for the most part, Jason, I mean, Jason was like, is a horrible human being. Like, don't have to sugarcoat it. But in that moment, he really wasn't trying to give it up. But he unraveled it and he was like, you know what? Yeah, I mean, Stephen A Smith's a fraud. I've been researching him. He's a fraud. All the shit he be saying is not true. All the shit he played for college and whatever is not true. Jax: first. Yeah. ⁓ Greg: I'm averaging X, Y, and Z and all this other stuff. It's not true. We did the research. ⁓ He was just like, who you said who you know have a basketball trial the day before a day after a game is none and you shoot 17 straight threes and then break your kneecap the next day. That shouldn't even sound right. That won't even sound. You got a full you got a full scholarship off some shit like that. That's just foley. That's just a fraud. You're fraudulent. And I was just. Jax: Yeah. Greg: Okay. And then that's when he started rambling. That's when he started getting his shit off talking about calling him the R word and him being held back and those high. Okay. Jax: Honestly. Both Stephen A and Whitlock, they're too like, okay, y'all don't like each other, cool, we've moved past the need for Stephen A's take on any of this, for Jason Whitlock's take on any of this, and also for Cam Newman's take on any of this. Society has progressed past the need for those three individuals to give us their opinions on these things, because it's, please just stop it. Please just stop it. Greg: Cam, shut up and dribble. It hurt my heart saying what I just said, but you need to shut up and dribble. And stop platforming them women that you got on them pods too, bro. That shit messy too. I don't like seeing that shit too. I try to ignore it, I try to scroll by it, but I don't like that shit either, nigga. Jax: Yeah. Cam New in his podcast should be the one where, not the one where they're sitting down, but the one where he's, the background is white and he's standing up. I don't know what that one's called. That should be his only podcast. The one where they sit down and he's like smoking a cigar. That's a terrible, stop doing that podcast. Greg: Yes, that is the only acceptable one. And he should. ⁓ He needs to stop that. The one where he where he got the white in the background. There's a video playing specifically about a quarterback. Preferably in college or like or like anybody trying to break down film or whatever. That's when you're in your bag. That's when I tune in. That's when I tune in. And then that's when your co-host does a phenomenal job because he truly is. Jax: Yeah, that's the podcast we need. Greg: Your average audience listener that doesn't know what the fuck goes on in the locker room, football, all these terminologies, and you're breaking it down like a six-year-old not understand it. That's your bag. Stay there. Don't move. Jax: Thank Greg: We don't even you know, mean, like everybody can't be club Shaysay and even we don't even we don't even condone club Shaysay. We don't even condone it. But. Jax: The other time. Yeah, I don't remember the last time I, I don't remember the last club shay-shay interview I saw. You know, it's probably for the best. It's probably for the best. Greg: But we don't need a tier two of it. We we don't need a tier two of it. We don't need a second best of that. No. And yeah, Ryan Clark has some choice worries about it. As Brian said, you see this, why don't get in the space for him? Yes, please. We don't need you. We don't need we don't need none of this. We need none of that. Jax: I don't care about any of the therapy. I don't care about any of the therapy on this. I don't care about anybody's thoughts on this actually, like, shit, man. Greg: Absolutely. It's bad. Yeah. Talked enough about that. We do not care. Real quick. Caleb Williams beefed out with George Gervin, George Iceman Gervin. Not real, not literal beef, but it came to attention to a lot of people that Caleb Williams is trying to trade word Iceman after being I guess that was like his thing this past season as he was, you know, clutching it up, mad touchdowns, having a good season and all. Jax: Yeah. Greg: And George Gervin came on, say, yo, look, Iceman is already. It's already already one Iceman. You pick another shit, you know what mean? Respectfully. And now there's a bunch of Chicago niggas that are trying to retweet this and be like, who the fuck is fucking with George Gervin? Who the fuck got George George Gervin merch? I'm like, I. And you know, I hate the spur. I hate the spurs just like another nigga, but. Jax: to serve him right. Who's George Gervin? Who's his old man in the 1970s? Greg: All right, y'all gotta relax. Iceman. Iceman, they could pick another name. And if I'm being honest, the mass media was not calling Kayla Williams Iceman. This is my first time hearing. Like, where the fuck that come from? Jax: Yeah. like, where did that come from? I've seen my tweets calling him Iceman, but don't know how that started in the first place. He doesn't even, or guess he's trying to call himself Iceman now, but I've never heard him even acknowledge that nickname in any way, shape, or fashion. But maybe he has. I'm gonna be tapped into the bears like that. So maybe he has, but to my knowledge, I don't think this is the first time he's doing it. It's a tough nickname. don't... Greg: Me neither, but like... It is a tough nickname. Jax: I don't necessarily know why it's his nickname, but I mean, he is clutch, but still I don't really, I don't know. I just think y'all both can have the nickname. It's not that big of a deal. Like there's been more than one Superman, although Shaq hated Dwight Howard for it, but like still like. Greg: And I think it hits different for Shaq because that was the same sport. I could understand that a little bit better when you're crossing sports. Jax: There's more than one Slim Reaper too, cause KD's a Slim Reaper, but then they started calling Devontae Smith Slim Reaper. Like that's, that is a thing. They do call any of that. like both of you niggas can have an, it's, of y'all can have a nickname, bro. It's not that serious. It's just, it's just a name. Your name is still Caleb Williams. Your name is still George Gervan. People are still going to call you those things. It does not. It's not that big of a deal. Greg: As long as you not as long as you not packaging packaging this up into some glacier nail polish, I'm going to be fine. Try lightly, nigga. I know how you like the market every relax, relax ice man. And lastly, NFL, that has got embarrassed by these flat football niggas. Now, I remember last year, I think we made a tick tock about NFL niggas. You know that that we would want supporting, you know, flag football and flag football. You know, supposed to hit the Olympics soon, you know, via 2028. We'll get more to Olympics talk later, but. I'm be honest with you, I didn't watch the game. I actually had a friend that was like, yo, I got tickets. Should I hit that? Jax: Yeah. didn't know that. Greg: And I was like, who are going to be there? And then she told me the names like Brady, Gron, Hurts, all that stuff. I was like, you know what? It's a free ticket. I probably would have pulled up. I probably would have pulled up. It's free. Fuck you. Why not? And then she texted me back and was like, I'm so glad I didn't go to that shit. That shit looked so embarrassing. was like, oh, damn, the NFL niggas dominated that bad. I flipped the channel. No, to my behold. Jax: Yeah, it was free. Greg: Them flat football niggas put belt ⁓ to niggas. And I'm using belt very, very, you know, very loosely, cause I did not watch this shit, but I'm looking at the score and I'm like, niggas put belt on you. And now it's a whole bunch of niggas on TikTok, Twitter and TikTok talking about who said these niggas was going to be good at this? I was like, when did we start revisionist history in this? Like, I remember you same niggas saying. Just get our best niggas in the NFL. They're not the same type of athletes. They would dominate. We're not using flag football niggas. We're using NFL niggas because NFL niggas are world class athletes. I remember this conversation. But all of a sudden, since it was built now, I don't hear that anymore. I'm hearing niggas say, why would you ever think that these NFL niggas will be equipped for flag football? I hate you niggas. I hate you. We never consistent on anything. Jax: Thank Greg: We can't even say my bad, my fault, I'm wrong. Weird. Are we putting football niggas in the flag football or not? Will any football niggas be in flag football? Or will it just be the flag football niggas? Jax: Wow. I think they could have like a quarterback maybe, but like, I don't think nobody really cares enough. I don't think any NFL player really cares enough to actually go out and try hard in the Olympics. Cause like they're not going to get paid for that shit for real. ⁓ Flackleball is high key just a completely different game. When you like. like watching it. I didn't watch it, but I saw some like the highlights and I've also just seen flag football. It's probably like intramural and stuff like that. So I know it is like a different game because you can't hit people in like all the different like jukes and stuff they have to not take the flag and everything like you can some of the stuff you can do like where they like dip your knee super low. So like you missed it. Like you can't do that in the NFL because you'll die, but you can you can get away with that in flag football. So it's a it's a whole different game. So I don't I don't think NFL players should even really care enough to want to be in the Olympics, but it's going to be somebody that does. But if anything, like maybe they'll have one, a quarterback because you can, no matter what, if you can throw that hole, you can throw that hole. like that's, I guess I can see some quarterback doing it maybe like a receiver, but that's really, that's really it. I don't think it's. Greg: ⁓ A gold a gold medal is a gold medal man. It'll be somebody. Jax: Yeah, I guess that is fair. Greg: Duvon Duvon tap in tap in for me the exact darker time we looking for. Duvon might make me look patriotic again. I'm not gonna lie to you. I'm not gonna lie to you. But that's that's all of the things we do not care about. I'll shorten those up. I'll cut some shit out. But let's go ahead and get more into Olympic talk Olympics will be in twenty twenty eight. Jax: Yeah. He might be cooking black football. Greg: in Los Angeles, if you did not know, the podcast will be there. If you know, you know, the podcast will be there. We will. We will. We will be in attendance. But that's that's later down the line. ⁓ Somebody that won't be there. Or ⁓ transgender women. They will not be. They were. And I was off the dome, so I didn't know I was going there, but. Jax: That's a crazy way to do it. Greg: Trans women athletes are banned from the Olympics by a new IOC policy on female eligibility. You must be a natural born woman. And it's only I mean they're only really talk this transgenders in general but they're really just talking about the trans women. ⁓ There's it's not the other you don't see a lot of people on some Joanna man types that will not draw the man. That's that's what we're actually talking about. But like the the men turn the women that are. Jax: Yeah. Greg: you know, transforming into men and then trying to go into male dominated fields, sports, but you don't see that a lot. And on top of that, I'm doing some more research is saying it's unclear if like transgenders have been even participating in the Olympics like they didn't they didn't record anybody in 2024. That was actually transgender. I just feel like we just I feel like we Jax: Like that would really be my biggest deal with all like the... Like, we're making a problem out something that's not actually a problem. Like that's my biggest issue with all these trans, like the issue, like they're making, they're banning them. Like they didn't even, I think it was like one person, one transgender person was in the Olympics. Or let me see, it says, there are zero trans women in the Paris Olympics. Greg: You like Jax: There was one trans woman weightlifter in the 2021 Olympics and she didn't win a medal like Like one honestly, I didn't know like transgender people could even participate in the first place I didn't I was that's not even thought that cry but Michael I just simply didn't care but now they're like banning them I just think they're making the problem out of some that's not there doesn't I don't get it it seems very stupid Greg: you Yeah, I think when I saw Donald Trump was pushing for this, was like, I mean, this was not even on my frontal lobe, nigga. And I think there's a lot more things that we need to be focused on as a country right now. ⁓ Why is this nigga so invested in sports? ⁓ Bro, we're, gas is high, nigga. Gas is high, nigga. Gas is high. ⁓ What you call it? ⁓ I don't even know. Jax: Yeah. and I'll talk. Greg: Now, I'm saying like these niggas are banned. why was this? Why was this even? I don't understand. I never did understand. I think this is the only time where. I saw a united front on this decision. Nobody gave real pushback, not even like a commentary I've seen, like everybody's been on the same page like. Yeah, like this shouldn't be a thing. They shouldn't be competed with natural born women. I haven't seen anybody disagree with that yet. And Twitter gets crazy. So I was like, OK, there's always one little crazy as rage better. Literally nobody. I'm like, wow. I've never seen unison like this on Twitter before. This is crazy. I literally have more. Jax: Yeah. because everybody always agrees that, ⁓ men or boys shouldn't play girls. Everybody agrees that that's not true. That's why everybody will always agree on that front. it's just like, there's not even no trend. They're not even participating for real. So the ones that did respectfully weren't, I mean, they were good enough to get the Olympics, but they weren't good enough to medal. So it doesn't matter, bro. I don't know. They just make me feel good. Greg: Hey, well, I'll I'll I'll shoot them some bill and I'll say this. I'm at least glad that they were proactive on something. I'm glad that they were proactive because this country is very reactive about a lot of. So it's just like instead of waiting for a problem to naturally happen and you see this big swole as person dominating in a women's sport and then we have this crazy discourse and because we didn't set a rule. you know, they get a loophole. Jax: I just don't think that was ever gonna happen. I just don't think. Greg: Amen. Jax: Even the what's that one, the Republican girl that was swimming or whatever, and then she started hating trans people. Yeah, it was like some Republican girl, was in college or whatever, she lost, like she was a swimmer and then she lost a race. And then she, it turned out that the person she lost, one of the people she lost a race to was transgender. And she was like, ⁓ my gosh, I hate transgender people now. And she became, she's like famous for that. What's her name? Riley. Greg: Republican group? Jax: What's her Riley Gaines, that's her name. And like, yeah, she was basically doing the same thing, but you come to find out, like she actually like, she got fifth place or whatever. Like the transgender woman that beat her got fifth place and Riley didn't. So it's just like, she wasn't even good. Like nobody was good. I just, that just made it a problem out of stuff that's not, that's not that big of a deal, bro. It's just, I think it's just so stupid. That's like, like. Greg: It's always a Riley. It's always a Riley. Jax: There was freak, who was it? Some politician, I don't know if you saw it, but they just banned strippers in schools or something. And it's like, you don't need to ban that because they don't live in schools. Like, what are we doing? Greg: I don't remember this. I didn't. I didn't know, I didn't know niggas was doing this. Jax: Thank you, bro. Just making promises is not there, Greg: I guess those strippers allow. Were they ever? You got to sign in to school before you come through this bitch like they give you a name sticker and everything like. Parents can't even check their kids out after a certain time. What you talking about the stripper? Jax: There were no strippers in the school in the first place. Thank you, bro. Exactly. But another problem, I guess, another civil rights issue, honestly, is it is a civil rights issue. But now the Florida attorney general, he's challenging the NFL to change the Rooney rule. He released a video. I didn't play the video because I don't care. Greg: That's crazy. ⁓ shit. Yeah. Jax: I can pretty much assume along the lines, he was probably saying, oh, this is a Rooney rule. It's a race-based thing. is racist. We're hiring based off race, and we don't do DEI anymore, and blah, blah, blah. And talking about, it's no longer necessary for the Rooney rule. And low key, I don't agree with him, but the Rooney rule is a joke by the way they use it, because they just interview the first black person they can find and then go hire the white person they really want. So that's really all the rule has become, but it's like we still need the Rooney rule or something that's like it because there's still only I think what three black head coaches in the NFL right or three minority head coaches in the NFL right now. And you see the ones that do get a chance to be ahead because they don't really get as long a leash as some of other people. they don't, like a lot of them nowadays or a lot of white coaches nowadays fail upwards. Like they're asked somewhere and they get promoted somehow. So that is still the reason why we need the Root in the World. You just diversify the, uh, the candidate pool of coaches and everything. But it's just, why do niggas just be, everyone just be hating bro. I don't get it. Greg: Yeah, I stopped the I stopped giving a fuck about this nigga talking about it once I found out he was white and I started like reading into like what he was actually saying. And I was just like, I was I was I was with you on the headline. Jax: You didn't know he was white? last name is is Uthmayer. You didn't know he was white? Greg: No, I'm saying like when I heard the headline, the headline just said Florida Attorney General. Jax: Okay. I'm sorry. He's a Florida attorney general. You didn't know he was white? ⁓ Greg: Florida Florida threw me off nigga. I'll say Jax: You know how racist Florida politicians have been the last, like, the last, like, decade? I don't expect none of to be black. I don't expect none of them to be black. Greg: Nigga. Nigga could have had wigs. I don't know, bro. I don't know. was was I was being. And I was like, like, no, we we cool off this because this nigga not this nigga not talking about no shit. It was just the fact he was like, we're demanding this. What? I don't know who you are. This. Jax: Who are you? We're saying all this, watch the NFL be like, you know what, he's right. I can 1,000 % see that's what happening too. Greg: Hey, watch this nigga really be Luke Cornel for real. You know what mean? I was talking mad shit about Luke Cornel. Like, stop paying attention. Stop paying him no mind, bro. Like, it's still gonna happen. That nigga got that shit shut down. I'm like, ah, well, that nigga's still a white man. Jax: Yeah, right. I can 1000 % see this happening. It's gonna piss me off. Greg: You at next ESPN notification. ⁓ well. done over. I did the interview to Art Rooney for this and it was just I haven't seen any receipts, but you know, we do want to make sure that we're a body. Not are not the. Not him, I guess, like the nephew of him or like whatever the the kin to him, I forgot if it was son, nephew, whatever. He was basically just come in. Jax: So what? He got a, he got, there's an art, art room in you second. Greg: OK, that's probably what they who they interviewed. He was like, yeah, like, I don't really. I haven't really seen his receipt on anything or his letter or whatever, but, we do want to make sure that we are adjusting, abiding by the times of what's going on. And when we made this rule, you know, things change. So. Want to make sure that we're still following the law. Like, shut up, nigga. Respect, respect. Jax: That was getting cancelled. That was getting cancelled. They're gonna end it. Greg: Respectfully respectfully shut the hell up. I don't want to hear this shit. Jax: That's the worst possible response. Greg: Hey, we want to we want to always abide by the law. Jax: Okay, that's it. The Rooney rule probably got like maybe two more seasons in. Golly, I mean. Greg: I got said bro. No, I'm trying to tell you bro. We We won Aaron Glenn seasoned away for some shit really shaking nigga like he got a lock in bro He got a lock in nigga. He got a dig deep and find a way Jax: Man... I was... I certainly hope so. Golly, man. Greg: ⁓ Bro, Aaron Glenn don't understand how important he is to the league right now. Jax: You don't understand how important he is to black people right now. Greg: This shit can go so far left. I know it's the Jets. Nigga, find a way. And we lost my timeline. Jax: So I know real fast, so I know real fast. Cause that nigga, his name is Art Rene the second. Are you a, do you like the second more or junior more when you name a kid after yourself? Greg: Low-key junior. I don't hear a lot of seconds. That's just me though. I just thought, I just thought in my mind, I thought it was always junior and then second was technically third and it's like second, third, fourth. I thought junior was his own thing and then second started. I didn't know second and junior were the same thing. I could be wrong, but I really Jax: feel like the second is. Don't tell nobody else you thought that. Don't tell nobody else you thought that. Don't tell nobody else you thought that. Moving on to the WNBA. It seems like the team is coming back. The Houston Comic Earth. Greg: Damn. Damn, bro. That's crazy. Jax: The Fertigas reached an agreement to bring the WNBA back to Houston by buying the Connecticut Sun. So it's safe to assume that the Houston comics will be back in the city by what, 2028? Oh, that fast? Greg: 2027. Yeah. 2026 will be the last season for the Connecticut Sun. I'm going there just off of support just to see it, you know, one last time before we bring this this city back. But they said it was projected 2027. I must take. Jax: When is the expansion? That's what I'm trying to see. Or you can keep talking about I'm gonna look at it. Greg: But ⁓ yeah, if I'm not mistaken, Tillman, Tillman paid 300 mil for this. One thing I one thing I can res- I'm going use the word respect lightly. I don't know. I don't know niggas for real. But one thing I can appreciate with Tillman for Tita, that nigga will spend the money necessary for whatever kind of sports shit he want. If you want to upgrade facilities at University of Houston, he going to do it. If you're going to upgrade practice facilities for the Houston Rockets and put some other shit going on, he going to do it. He's been talking about bringing the WNBA back for like two or three years. So I knew he wanted that shit. And ⁓ as a Houston fan, like we said last time, like months ago, always happy nigga, we're back. They should have never left to begin with. I'm glad he brought them niggas back. That being said, I understand. Niggas got hold in the process of this. I understand that. I stand by like I stand with y'all and like, damn, like it shouldn't have happened like this. Jax: Hahahaha! but you're glad it happened. Greg: But that doesn't make me not happy that my niggas are back, bro. My niggas are back and we coming back in 2027 and Juju Watkins comes out in 2027 too. And they don't have a lottery. They don't have a lottery. They don't have enough to have a lottery. The worst record just gets the first pick. Juju, welcome. You are a Houston comment, my nigga. You gonna save us. Jax: My eyes, watch the Connecticut Sun cook this season, cook next season, then how you feel. Okay? Greg: I don't wanna hear that! Low key niggas mad at niggas. I ain't gonna lie. Niggas probably would sign with the Sun right now. But they can be a part of the team like being moved to Houston. will. I could see that. Because it's a difference between moving your team versus you just starting from scratch. Like you about to have an expansion draft with I think Jax: Yeah, that's very true. Toronto in Portland. Portland. Yeah. Greg: Toronto and what Detroit? Or Portland? Yeah. So those those don't even have like teams. They got to do an expansion drill. Us, we already have pretty much a team in place. We're just moving them niggas. So ⁓ that'll that'll be interesting. I'm going to get my Houston Commons merch up. I'm here. I'm rocking with you. And by association, I'm lowkey a son fan right now. I mean, I just feel I'm low key a sun. I got low key a sun fan right now. A Connecticut Sun fan. OK, cool. This is going to be my new. This team is essentially going to turn into Houston. Might as get a chance to. You know. See who's all there. See who's all whooping. think I mean, I'm Marina Mayberry still there. Jax: Yeah, I'm looking at Marina Maybreeze on the team. Aneesa Morrow, Aaliyah Edwards, Tina Charles. Yeah. Greg: Aliya Edwards? Aliya Edwards got traded over there? Damn. Jax: It's AC on the team. That's where I'm looking at the roster right now. I don't know where she came from, but yeah. Greg: She came from the Mystics. ⁓ She was in Angel Reese's draft. Yeah, she was an Angel Richards draft. She was picked by DC and I knew that. I only know it. Jax: Yeah, she was with the me I'm looking yeah, she was with the miss two-thirds, but yeah now she's on Greg: Only only know that because mad DC niggas was trying to, you know, draft Angel because she's from Baltimore and they drafted Leah Edwards instead. They were like, we want an angel. And somebody got fired the year after this. And then you trade that nigga like she was like the fifth pick or the sixth pick or the fourth pick, actually, I'm treading. Jax: Hope. Bro, this team is tall as hell. Everybody's 6'1", 6'4". Greg: ⁓ Now, also, when it comes to New England, for people that are not caught up about like the stuff that was going on, basically, basically, they were not able to sell the team to the people that they wanted to sell the team to. ⁓ The commissioner kept blocking it because if you sell it through. who they wanted to, you you're kind of avoiding the transfer fees and all that stuff. They could have gotten more money, you know, sending it to who they wanted to send it to versus Houston. And Boston was pretty much a lock to have it. And now Boston or the New England area wouldn't even be eligible. The earliest they could even be in the running for a new team is 2031. You gotta wait. Jax: Yeah. Terrible. Is there a WNBA team that's in that area anymore or no? Or is it the Connecticut Suns only when that was in the New England? Greg: No. It was only Connecticut. So the closest one would be New York, the New York Liberty. That would probably be their closest one, which is an hour away, on if you, depending on what side of Connecticut you're in. Jax: See, like, that's close to me. that's close to me. You can support the New York Liberty. That counts as New England to me. Our way is not crazy far, bro. I've driven an hour and still in the same city. Greg: Yeah, dude. That's fine. That's fine. But like the problem, the problem with it being the New England area is that Connecticut is like. It's just one part of the New England area. So if you're Boston, yeah, that's three hours away. Or if you're Rhode Island or if you're all these other places like you kind of like. It's not a little bit further away, but if you're Connecticut. The only thing about Connecticut is Connecticut has, you know, I will admit Connecticut does have a very loyal fan base. They do so. They were loyal to like the Connecticut Sun, so I don't even really see them niggas transferring to New York Liberty. I don't really see that happening. Like I'm behind this like like it's I don't want to say it's just. Jax: Thank you. . This is gonna go back to you call women's basketball and you comments because you come in also good. ⁓ Greg: Yeah. Yeah, honestly, look, they lost the Connecticut Sun. But at the end of the day, as New England, you have the Patriots, the Boston Celtics, and Yukon men and women that win championships every year. If it's not the women, then it's the men. They will be fine. Houston. Jax: They'll be fine. They'll be fine. Greg: Stand the fuck up whenever whenever too much bad shit happens. I know something good about that. You know what mean? Like when we lose two games in a row, three games in a row, niggas talking crazy niggas out here acting delusional and I. You know, I mean, then I get this news. Use the comments a bit. I can't complain. And I complain, Jax: With Dawn Staley as the head coach, I could see the vision. Greg: her bag. Bring her bag. Bring her bag. Jax: but let's go ahead and touch on one more, or not even one more, two more basketball related topics. But the first one though is NBA. ⁓ Adam Silver, or somebody leaked the NBA's new plan to address tanking, which is probably Adam Silver, because he leaks everything to Twitter and gets our reaction and then chooses based off the reaction that people have. But ⁓ these are three ideas that. comprehensive anti-ticking concepts that the NBA presented to its board of governors. ⁓ I don't really like any of these to be honest, but here are the three options. The first one is there are 18 teams in the draft lottery, which is to see seven through 15 at each conference. Flatten odds with the bottom 10 teams having an 8 % chance and the remaining 20 % odds distributed in decreasing order for 11 through 18 in a lottery drawing for all 18 picks. The second option will be 22 teams in the lottery using two years records and that would be seats 7 through 15 plus the four playoff first round exits in both conferences. The lottery team would reach a minimum win total floor in each season, such as 25 wins. If a team falls short of the floor, it gets slotted to meet the floor of the top four drawn as part of the lottery how it is currently. And then the third option, the 18 teams in a five by five lottery with the bottom five teams have an equal odds with the top pick with the lottery form for picks one through five. Bottom five teams have a floor at 10. Those that fall out of the top five get sorted in separate drawings. Now I know I read all that and it's also on the screen, but to break everything down, all the ideas suck. That's my breakdown. That's my breakdown. Everything. All these ideas are stupid. I think all of these are bad ideas. Greg: You Jax: Why do I think they're bad ideas? Just because like, just because they are, honest with you. I don't know if there's anything that can be done to solve tanking, although tanking is annoying, especially when you see somebody like Bam Otterbio get 83 points. And I like Bam, but it still upsets me he got 83 because he's not even a scorer for real. And he only did that because it's tanking teams. And that's what bothers me. But the solution to tanking is just players having more fucking pride. coaches having pride and not wanting to get any viewpoints scored on it. That's the only solution there is to taking it. Greg: be honest. the you're right there is no none of this shit I'll say this all three of these options is not gonna stop tanking no matter what they implemented Jax: ⁓ and the second one is the worst option, at all. Using two-year, I think that's stupid. I think that one's the worst one. But continue. Yeah. Because what you fucking doing? Thank you. Like, no. Greg: Yeah, that's horrible. Because what like what would that look like for the Indiana Pacers? Like, that's great. I'm saying all three of these, no matter how you do it, when it comes to percentages and draft odds and whatever like, well, it. It's not going to stop niggas from intentionally fucking losing. Honestly. Things would look. I wouldn't say it. It's for me to say a little better. Actually, no, I take that back because at first I was going to say. It probably you probably do more justice doing it like the NFL worst worker just gives the first big and, you know, side by side, but it's just no. I thought about that. I'm just like, no, it would just be mad niggas that you would see more Andre Ingram's very quickly. And that's not good for it's not good for basketball either. There will be a nigga that surpasses BAM. ⁓ Fuck. Yeah, don't, I don't look, I'm gonna be honest with you. I don't know how to fix tanking because honestly, I don't think tanking has been that big of a deal where we have to enforce certain rules because none of these rules look like they good enough to even fix the problem. I think we're over blowing like what tanking is going on. But some of these niggas do genuinely just suck. And then there's some niggas that are like trying to tamper with the rules and stuff. But it's taking a problem. Yes. I don't think it's a problem to the point where the GM and the commissioner has to step in and make all these immediate moves. And you still can't tell me about. trees being planted, you know what mean? Or gambling that's being done. Like there's so many, it's like what I talk about with Donald Trump, there's just certain things that you're very invested in. And I feel like there's bigger issues to tackle right now. But of course, it's the leak method where you leak information, see if niggas vibe, vout, rock with it, see how the reception is, and then move accordingly. Jax: Yeah, I love it. Greg: Like those niggas that do skits and then low-key start rapping on them in a funny way. it's like, nigga, you're just trying to like soft launch, nigga. Like we know what you're trying to do. You're trying to see if we fuck with the low-key vocal. Nigga, just go out and just do it. Jax: And one thing like we both said that we do think taking is an issue, but like one thing that I also don't feel like it doesn't need to like these big sweeping reforms around and everything is like every year it's only like there are a lot of teams tank, but it's really only like four or five teams that are just like outright, like all the way taking. Well, we want to win zero games this year. It's only like a couple of teams that are acting like this year of like the wizards. The Pacers, but they're doing that because Haliburn's hurt and we all sort of knew they were going to do that. ⁓ The Nets, who else is on that? We just want to suck forever. I said the Wizards, said Pacers, I said Nets. Yeah, Sacramento, yeah Sacramento and the Kicks. But like everybody else and the Grizzlies too actually. I think the Grizzlies, because the Grizzlies just shut down John Moran. So they're trying to take. Greg: Sacramento. and Utah for sure. Sacramento and Utah. They just shut down job I'm beyond Jax: It's only like, it's only about five that are actively like trying to know let's win zero games this year. And the Green League didn't even start to feel like that. Greg: No, did this. Yeah, like I think, yeah, I think every year is always going to be four, four or five teams that are just trying to race for, you know, purgatory. And I also feel like there would be more teams tanking if there wasn't a plan. I think a lot of people don't realize why the plan was a thing. Because if you have the 10th seed. Like what like what benefit is the 10th seed? So like when games, if there is no plan, is your two spots away from eight, you know, from the eight spot. And if there's a significant gap, you're not touching it. So you do better just. losing out. That's what we got to Andre Ingrams and stuff like that. And if you're the 11 seed and you're young and upcoming, nigga, like the the hornets. It's like, OK, we we low key can get that 10 spot. So now you have an 11 seed. That's fighting for that 10 spot to potentially be in a play in. So now instead of what you have, what three extra teams on each side, you have six teams that would probably normally be taking. that aren't because they're in like they have a puncher's chance of just making some noise in the playoffs, ⁓ especially in the East, because, know, Tempsies over there, they end up making the NBA Finals if you're you're not too careful. So as much as I talk shit about Adam Silver and stuff like that, honestly, I don't really be talking shit about him. But, you know, for as much criticism as he got, he's tried in his own ethical way to stop some of this egregious ass-tanking. But it's just kind of hard to just stop Jax: Yeah. Greg: Zero tanking full stop. Because niggas be tanking in the NFL. Niggas be tanking in the NFL for sure. It's just we understand that there's more pride in the NFL. There's more, you know, it's just harder to organically tank with 52 niggas. It's just you got niggas fighting for their jobs. You know it is what it is. I'm not mad. Jax: Yeah. Yeah, anyways, ⁓ one last basketball thing, because apparently Wimby has taken over the lead as far as like odds wise for the MVP. So we're like, you know what? It's two weeks left in the season. Let's go ahead and get a look at some of the awards races, because even if he has taken the lead, he's not going win the MVP. let's get to some of the award races. ⁓ Let's start with. Rookie of the Year. Now they have Khan Knipple winning Rookie of the Year with Cooper Flag being second. And I think VJ Edgecombe is third. How do you feel about that? I think Khan should win it. I know a lot of people have been pushing for Cooper Flag, but Khan has been, it took Cooper a while to ramp up to being as good as he is right now. Khan was good from the jump. So that's why I picked him as Rookie of the Year. Greg: ⁓ I am 1000 % behind the con canable hype train He was like the I think he was the quickest quickest player to hit a hundred threes ⁓ Jax: I think someone like that. And I think he's like the youngest, they hit 250 too, or 250 as well. Greg: Yeah, he's a solid. He's a solid, uh, solid guy. I think the more I see a Colin Caniple and Cooper Flagg the more I'm just like, damn, like, how did y'all not dominate super crazy a dude? You have both of them niggas on the same team. That's crazy. And they both white. You don't really see that a lot. When the last time we had two white niggas lead the rookie of the year like this, does that ever happen? Jax: Yes. Greg: ⁓ Post segregation? Post segregation hoops? We're not talking about Bob Cousy or anything. Jax: I'm trying to think of like, who was the last like... I'm trying to think who is the last like white rookie of year? Was it Luca? I Luca's, Luca's, are we talking about like American white and also what's Luca's rookie of like? Greg: That is also true. I was talking about American. I was really talking about American way. Jax: Yeah, I don't know about no American way. I can't even think of any terms. Greg: Larry Bird. of the Magic Johnson winner. Jax: I have no idea. I don't even know who's in the running for that. yeah, so this might be record-breaking, civil rights even, but who will win defensive play of year? The answer is Wimby. If he plays all, because I think he has... Greg: I have no clue, like. I'm sorry. you Jax: I think he's at 56 or 58 games played and he has nine games left. So it's, can assume that he's going to make that 65 game threshold, but defensively, like it's going to be Wimby. Nobody else really even has a, has a chance of winning. think if anything, I think if he's, Wimby doesn't get it cause he doesn't make the, if he doesn't make the threshold, I think they'd give it to check. Cause I think he's second in blocks and stuff like that. But Wimby is going to win deep boy. That's, this is how. Greg: When be my break records on how many deep poise he wins ⁓ when it's all said and done? Injuries is the only thing that could really stop this obtaining this goal. Jax: You don't think they could do they could give like voter fatigue like how they do with go bear. Because go bear won like. Three in a row or something like that. Greg: Yeah, that's fine. That's fine. But they ain't they're going to have that much fatigue to be like, ⁓ Rudy Gobert is going to be like the last dead and they get to get four. Like I can see this thing again, seven or eight. Easy, ⁓ easy throughout his career, even if he had only if he even if he had like a 15 year career, like none of those should be his. Jax: You Prop so let's see what's next. Coach of the year. ⁓ They have the candidates as JB Bickerstaff of the Pistons, Mitch Johnson of the Spurs, and Joe Mazzullo of the Celtics. This one is tougher. I'm leaning towards Mazzullo though, cause he's been without Jason Tatum for... 97 % of the year. I know Jason Tainton is back, he's clearly not the Jason Tainton we're used to. And everybody thought the Celtics were going to tank or be trashed, and they've done the complete opposite of that. I think they're second in the Eastern Conference right now. So I have Joe Masula as my coach of the year. Greg: Yeah, I mean. Honestly. I don't agree with any three of the honest. If I'm being honest, bro. And Tyronn Lue really and turn that shit around, bro. Like them niggas was dead in the fucking water. ⁓ Back in December, Roe and that's when they had James Harden and Kawhi and. Jax: Who would you have? Greg: The fact that them niggas was like six and 31 or some shit like some crazy shit. And Tyronn Lue was like, all we need to do is just end the season 32 and 20. We just got to go 32 and 20 to end the season for us to kind of turn this around. I think they're currently 33 and 15. The fact that they turned it, he turned it around another in the playoff hunt. Like I think they're like the eighth seed right now. I understand that we don't. Jax: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I hate to see you right now. Greg: I understand that we don't give coaches, you know, coach of the year to like ⁓ teams that are like lower of seed. But ⁓ it speaks volumes when I could because I judge a coach on how well. You know how good their role players are, if you can make your role players. Exceed expectations. I think you're a good coach. And outside of Kawhi and Kawhi has been playing a decent amount, I don't think he missed a lot of games this year, but. Yeah, it's like with the exception of that, like, you know, you have role players there and you got rid of James Harden. ⁓ It got controversial with Chris Paul. That's why niggas don't really talk about the Clippers because they hold that nigga Chris Paul and I get it and I understand it. But God damn, bro. I understand. Look, I understand it. But like if if I was unbiased about it. He should at least be in the convo, bro, like I would at least put that nigga for. Jax: That's why he's not going home for a few years. That's not bad. That's fair. That's fair. I like the ice cream thing. Greg: Because nobody had them niggas in the playoffs after that bullshit. Like after that turmoil, bro. Clippers had a bad PR for like a good month and a half. Jax: I would still take ⁓ Missoula, but that is a really good argument for Tyron Moon, so I can't hit on that. ⁓ Six men of the year, they're saying is between Jaime Hakek Jr. and Kelden Johnson. Greg: Two niggas I really haven't been watching for real, to be honest with you. I mean, even with him, and I'm gonna be honest with you, well, mean, it's one of those situations where every time I try to tune in with the Miami Heat, that nigga always out. I was like, how many games this nigga play? Jax: Yeah, to be honest with you. Other ⁓ people who are on the odd seat are Reed Shepard, Nas Reed, AJ Mitchell, Isaiah Stewart, and Tim Hardaway Jr. Greg: I mean, think I think resheper starts now, so that might not be. I don't think you probably. Jax: How long has Bones Highland been with the Timberwolves? Because he's been cooking. Greg: He has been he has been whooping, I think, not too long, but I think he was with the Clippers for a little minute. Jax: and he didn't really play for them so I'm trying to see how many games he's played with it. Yeah, but now you like more. Greg: Bones Highland been a bucket though. Been a bucket. It's just... Jax: Where is Where is this freaking basketball reference? He's been with the Timberwolves this entire season. He just hasn't been, they just didn't really give him minutes until recently. Greg: Honestly, he didn't start getting real burned until they traded Rob Dillon. Jax: Mic on. Greg: Well, both of them. Wait, ain't my- Jax: mean, they triggered Mike Conley, then brought him back like the next day, Greg: I was like, my colleague's still there. But yeah, he did get traded. And I'd be forgetting that Bones Highland is not that tall for a Jax: nearly 62 but ⁓ anyways next most improved player ⁓ what is wrong with this they have jaylon duran denny ovdia jaylon johnson and nikele alexander walker Greg: The real answer to this, and granted I understand Jaylen Dern and who been great stat line, a very reliable player. This is something that Deandre Aiden could easily be doing, but he's just not that guy no more. But I will say the reason why there's a big discrepancy between first and second place right now is because niggas do not fuck. with the origins of where second place came from. And on top of that, they don't like that style of play. They do not like how that nigga is giving it up on that court. But I will say that is a noticeable jump. That nigga second place, should not. There shouldn't be that big of a gap. I promise you 50 percent and 20 percent. And for people that don't know and audio listeners, I'm talking about Denny Avya. Avya. Avya. Yeah, I'm talking about him. Jax: Yeah. Greg: And I'm not gonna lie. It need to be a little bit closer than that, but I understand that, you know, when your team is winning. Jax: I don't know. People were saying he's just a foul baiter and he's not even that good. And I get it. I mean, I haven't really watched Portland Trail Wedge basketball, so I will say that much. they're like, ⁓ he's and I have like seen the stat that his he had like the craziest whistle in the NBA and he gets the most fouls. But like, I don't know. And I feel like Ryan Rollins with the Bucks, when the Bucks are bad right now, but he for sure should be in there because he's having like. Greg: They're not watching them, bro. They're not watching. Jax: 18 20 points and he came from literally out of nowhere like nobody expected anything from him this season He's been going crazy relatively speaking, of course Greg: Yeah, I can see that. think. I just when people say, he gets the craziest whistle and he not that good. That's cool and all, but that nigga leads the league and and ones if he ain't that good, the ball still going in when that nigga get fouled, though, like some of the fouls I see that nigga. He said, Jax: That's the crazy wisdom point. That's a crazy whistle part of it. They call him foul and he not even getting hit for real. I'm just saying, like, I don't be watching Denny Avdi to tell you, so I don't know, but that's just what the internet is saying. Greg: Amen. If I defend them any further, they gonna think I'm ⁓ I'm a part of some shit that I'm not a part of. So I'm just I'm about graceful. But he should be at least 30 percent. I think he should be at least 30. ⁓ Jax: I don't think he knew what death was. but Clutch Play of the Year, I just hate the name of this award. It seems stupid, but they have Shay winning it and he had Clutch Play of the Year wrapped up the moment he beat the Nuggets like a couple weeks ago. So that's that on that, to be honest with you. Greg: I don't get that. I don't get I don't get it. What's the difference between clutch player and most valuable? Jax: They just need, I don't know why they made this award. I was gonna say they just need an award for playing, but I don't know what they need this award for. I don't get it. Greg: Because if it's really most clutch or whatever, if it's most clutch, then Kawhi Leonard should be in consideration. Jax: or give it to that nigga, Payton Pritchard, because he's the one who makes, I think he's made the most like buzzer beaters in NBA history. Greg: Or- Or get art or that or a fun shit. You can go Kevin Durant. I didn't seen at least four or four games like four at least four. I don't know their buzzer beaters, but they could be game winners this season alone. Jax: So I don't really get this award, but regardless, think Shae's gonna win because duh. And then, where is the MVP? no, it's right here. Greg: You just passed it is there. Not there. Jax: I don't know why he's doing this. But MVP, they got Shay first in the odds and Wimby second. And I think that's how it is. Like it sucks that K is not really going to get any type of love, but he's not going to make the 65 game threshold unless they try to try to try him out real fast with the collapsing lungs so he can play like a minute and sit down. But that's not going to happen. Of course. It sucks that K seems not really going to get on there, but you said what? Greg: And he got any gotta lose I say and on top of that, he has to log at least 20 minutes in a game for it to count. He can't just sub him. Yeah. The one thing that I think I think what it was. I think there's a rule in the 65 game where they make an exception. I don't know if it's 60 or 62. But if you had 60 anywhere between 60 or 62 games. You could still and you get injured, you could still. Jax: This is disgusting. This is disgusting. Greg: qualify for the awards. Just the problem is it has to be season ended in seizing ending and K is going to be coming back for the playoffs at some point. Like it wouldn't it won't be long enough. So like technically. He'd be still considered, but you know, he's still. At the playoffs thing going on, so that kind of sucks. That's a. It's a trash loophole, but I get it. Like, I think. Jax: This sucks. Greg: Even if you wanted to keep that rule or whatever, I think it should be separate from. Like. Regular season versus playoffs like, OK, like he won't be back for the regular season so he can be considered for these regular season awards versus penalizing him because he's going to make it back in the time for the for the play. That sucks. Jax: Yeah, I think it shouldn't be. He should still be able to get a little something with the regular season aspect of it, so that does suck. But... ⁓ Greg: And honestly, but from a from a front office standpoint, yo, if a nigga not making an all NBA or not being whatever, if that's keeping you from paying Kate Cunningham, well, you're stupid. I don't know if you got to have an accolade attached to some shit to be like, oh, yeah, this is our franchise guy. We're going to pay. Jax: No, but those accolades though, they get in people's contracts. They're oh, if you made first team all NBA, that means you get an extra, you can get like a super max or a super bonus and you can get an extra 50 million or whatever on top of that. And he not gonna be able to get that no more. Greg: Me, me personally, if if an all NBA appearance is keeping you from maxing out that nigga, Kay Cunningham, you're a dumb nigga, bro. Jax: No, I'm saying like they will have stuff in the contracts that because he can like he's if he makes this his max number goes up. Like he can make more money if he gets first team. He won't be able to get more money because he didn't make first team is what I'm saying. Like that's how the contracts are drawn up. Like the escalators can only happen once you reach the first team. So he won't even have access to that extra 50 million or whatever because he didn't make the first team this season, which sucks. Like I said, Greg: Yeah. Either either they're going to change either they're going to change the rule or they're going to change how they do contracts. One of the one of the other. Jax: Then that can save you. Then what? I want to say right now, I don't think any of that's going to change. don't think any of that's going because owners are happy. Owners are happy. They're like, we can be cheaper with our players. They're be so much happier. Greg: Of course. Yeah, they need an excuse to bump it down, I guess. It's above. It's above my pay grade and low key. I hate being a boomer. Sometimes I do agree. We all are making a lot. ⁓ Jax: They think these players are making too much. Also, the life cool. But do you, like, does such and such really need to be making $20 million a Is he a 20 million a year ass player? I don't think so. But that sounds like, even though it's not. But it's. Greg: That sound like me when a nigga be like bro, I lost I could have had 25 more million I figured out who it is Jax: Exactly like why is career role player retiring with a hundred million dollars like good for him very very good for you, but like come on Greg: I hate and I got to stand on the hate though. Like I I got to agree like it's hating my stand by it. I Can't sugarcoat a lot. I'm not trying to hate. I'm hating I'm hating and I got to stand by that Jax: Yeah. Fair enough, I guess. But ⁓ I do think it might be about that time, Greg. Greg: But. about that time out Hot take of the Wig Jacks. Do you have a hot take? Jax: I in fact do have a hot take. So I'm just gonna go ahead and say it. Europe is not a continent. That's my hot take. doesn't make sense. Europe and Asia are one land mass. Really Europe and Asia aren't continents, but if I'm going to make one of them a continent, it would be Asia because it's bigger. But Europe and Asia, they are one thing. It's one continent. That is my hot take. was seeing, this came because I was watching some... I think, what was it, like a real Instagram popped up and they were asking like this dad geography questions or whatever. And for some reason he couldn't get it right. And then it went to like his five year old son. He was looking at his dad like his dad was an idiot. And I was like, damn, niggas really don't know geography for real. And then it made me think, cause he was trying to name like something, I think a country or whatever in Europe, I can't exactly remember the whole real or TikTok or whatever, but like he couldn't do it. And I just made me think, I'm like, bro. Niggas don't know geography. And I just started looking at the map again, and I was like, this whole thing is not even a con- this not even a real place for real. Like Europe, like Europe is a real place as in it's like Spain is a real country and all that. But like continent, it's not a real continent. Like the US, that's a con- or not the US, but North America, that's a continent. South America, that's a continent. Like they're two separate landmasses. They got a little, what is that straight called that sort of separates them? But they got that. Greg: Ha! Jax: or the canal rather separately. got that Africa, it's its own plate. Australia, its own plate. Antarctica, its own plate. Eurasia, that's one continent. So Europe is not a continent, bro. It's really, they call it a continent because they want certain people to feel a certain way about themselves, but it's not really a continent. And that's my hot take. Greg: you feel like racism has stopped it from being one continent? Jax: Yes, racism stops everything. Greg: Right. This is what they mean when they say racism is a system. Jax: Everything is impacted by race. Why is there no trains in ⁓ major cities across with races? And they don't want black people to get access to these things. Like, it's racist. Greg: Very true, very true. ⁓ I have no pushback because I've always called it Eurasia. When they said name the continents, I always said North America, South America, Eurasia, Africa, Australia and Antarctica. But yeah, I don't even know how they was able to get that off. We just allowed that to happen. Like I do, just think. Jax: racism. made the they made the global need like you know we want to be separate from these people like Russia is in Asia and Europe like what are we doing this is one is one place this is one country this is one continent stop trying to separate and divide it bro it's one continent so they made the globe and they're like you know we don't want to we don't want to be ⁓ We don't want to be in relation to these people over there. So let's separate it. But like, no, nigga, those are your people. Y'all are all from the Caucus Mountains. Greg: Stop crashing your cars on purpose. Like stop crashing your cars on purpose. What I mean by that is like that notion of like not defensive, like not defensive driving when you're on the road. When you see a nigga that's about to come hit you or whatever, and you saying stupid shit on the side of me, and I'm a passenger and you out here driving, I wish that nigga would, I wish he would crash it to me. I wish he would. He see me here, nigga stop. He's not going out the way. Get out the way bro. Like yo, get out the way. You willing to crash your car? Cause you going, this a payday for me. Nigga, we not gonna make it out alive. to see the check nigga stop crashing your cars to prove a point you crash in your cars to prove a point where you was in the right. OK but now you're now you're paralyzed for the rest of your life. Was it really worth it. And this should be happening in Houston because we already got mad niggas that's trying to do insurance fraud and like and trying to intentionally like backtap you and shit like they do all this weird shit. But every time I see a niggas dash cam more recently, I'm like, yo, low key, you could have prevented this, bro. Like you had enough time to get out the way. Like you just wanted to get into an accident. There's certain people I'm like, yo, like you could have avoided this. You were far enough back behind. Like stop this. You just want to prove a point. I'm like, ⁓ I'm right. I had to right away. Why you want to follow all this police report? Why you want to go through all this? For what? And don't do that shit while I'm in the passenger seat, nigga. Drive safe with me. Defensive drive when I'm in the fucking car, nigga. Don't be proven a fucking point. I can't believe she trying to cut. He can't. He can't cut in. Fuck him. What? Let him in, because he seems like he's going to get in whether you like it or not. Now he just scraped your car. For what? Jax: I agree. Greg: Just learn how to defensive drive. y'all niggas know, all of y'all niggas have the capacity to defensive drive. Like that doesn't make you a pussy. Like just do it bro. If a nigga cut in, he cut in. Yeah, now we start road rage. Stop doing this shit on purpose. I think you're an idiot if you do it on purpose. Jax: I don't know why he just put a name on it. Why he could just say Tiger Woods. I don't know how to drive. I don't know why he didn't put a name on it. Greg: I promise you that nigga was not in the back of my mind. It was just reminded. It was I was just reminiscing about my time in Houston. Now I knew niggas in Houston can't drive, but I'm just like, ⁓ my God, like I saw an accident in real time. Just like. You could have avoided this. Y'all out here. Fucking around on. Jax: Hahaha We'll blame it on Houston then. Okay, we'll blame it on Houston. Greg: I don't want to blame. don't want to blame. And she yeah, yeah, I mean, I think it's time for a photographer with shit to get revoked now to like two things can be true. Jax: I don't know how Rich Tiger was is although I think he made like a whole lot of money from like Saudi Arabia. Did he take the money from Saudi Arabia? I don't remember. But like regardless, I know he's stupid rich. Why you don't got a driver by now? What are you doing? Greg: You're right, I don't know bro. I truly don't, I don't know. Niggas still, I guess niggas don't wanna be normal, I don't know. I don't agree with that shit either. But, you know, that'll wrap it up for this week, Jax, any last words? Jax: and I'm gonna this. ⁓ you know you wanna go change your life, go out and do some life changing. That's how you change your life. Go out do some life changing shit, Greg: Uh, same. Go do something different. Go cut your hair. Cut your beard. If you're a man, go cut it off. Cut your beard off. Jax: Are you gonna cut yours off? Is that what? Greg: ⁓ fuck no. But the other niggas do it before they got to do with me. already did. I did my life changing thing. I did. I did my change it there. I cut the hair off. I'll get it. Go. I'll get it. I'll get a goatee one day. I'll hit the go. Jax: I don't get it. Y'all, y'all make me sick. Y'all make me sick. If you have a beard, you can shave it off whenever because you know it's coming back. Like, you can cut your beard off. Y'all just too afraid to make me sick. Greg: He's a w- Yeah! I want a better draw mom, before I let that hoe loose. Jax: You don't even know what the jawline is. Your jawline could already be better. You don't even know. Greg: ⁓ I got hands. I got hands. could feel I could feel around that motherfucking. We still got some more work to ⁓ do. niggas can't trick me on my spot. I know what this is. I know what fat niggas look like when they don't got the beard. It's not. It don't hit the same. It don't hit the same thing. But. Jax: Thank you. Greg: Make sure y'all like, subscribe, or TikTok's on the way. ⁓ Like we said before, just because you ask doesn't mean we'll do it, but we will keep it in consideration. ⁓ And we'll catch y'all niggas next week.
