Episode 139: My Love Will NEVER Be Blind!! · Play 4 Keeps Podcast

• Greg: I've been going through like deep NBA rabbit holes and it used to be like highlights only, but now it's starting to turn into like... Jax: lights. Greg: No, not even not even just like stories that I just that just haven't been documented yet. Like Greg Oden, like his injuries. Like I learned that, I mean, I think we all don't have like the same like leg height, but like. his legs were like two different sizes, two different, two different lengths, and it got like. Jax: or different length. Greg: I think it got worse because his first surgery was when he was in the sixth grade. Like he had to like replace something like in his hip or something. And from that point forward, it was just like, OK, like this, this can go downhill like very fast. Like I was just going down the lower of like Greg Oden and like literally. Jax: Like, the surgery, I was gonna say, did the surgery make his legs shorter or make the short leg longer? Like, did the surgery try to balance it out or did the surgery mess it up in the first place? Greg: I think... The surgery wasn't even about the size. Like it wasn't even about that. It was just something happened with his hip. I think like a bone like got out of socket or something got out of socket with his hip in the sixth grade. And the way they repaired it, it made the leg length different sizes. I feel like one point they, you know, I forgot how many, I don't know if it was inches, I don't know. I don't want to, I don't want to misquote it. But. once he got to the NBA, Portland Tremblay just noticed that and they tried to like. Like make him some insults or like they tried to like kind of like counterreacted. And whatever they did, injury galore, because it was just like, OK, honestly, probably should have lived well enough alone in hindsight. I feel like they tried to. Jax: Yeah. Would that like, I know, would that, mean, I guess we will never know, but I would think like, you still end up getting, like his career would still end up being the same, because his leg is messed up still like permanently. Greg: Yeah. Yeah. And then I looked at the like the major injury that happened and it was really like he just jumped. He jumped and like his knee, his knee literally cracked and it wasn't from impact. was he just jumped and it cracked midair. So it was just like, damn, like. It wasn't even an impact thing. That was crazy. And then I found out about Yao Ming ⁓ and his parents. He's a lab child. Like, not lab child for real. But the government made Yao Ming. Jax: Like they gave him the super serum like Captain America. Greg: Like this is real document. Yet like they made a basketball woman and a basketball male produce a child. Like the woman was like yo like I don't wanna I don't want to play Chinese basketball. I don't want to play basketball anymore It was like no, you're really good. She's like I don't want to do it I don't care so well if you don't want to do it the only way you can get out this contract Give us a baby and we'll give you the guy that you're gonna reproduce with and at first she refused but at some point the two ended up like Fucking with each other at some point and then they produce yameng That woman was six foot seven or six foot five. She was pretty tall. And then the basketball male was like six foot six. Basically, they forced the band in Asia. If we had to force them in Asia. And it made y'all mean. Yeah, but at the same time, that's Chinese or the Chinese culture. And you have to pray it was a son. You know what they do to the daughters like it's just. Jax: I don't know how I feel about that. I don't know how I feel. Yeah? ⁓ dude. If it wasn't, that'd be crazy. Greg: Like damn, they probably would gave that woman the benefit of the doubt if it was a girl because you would have been banking on it being like, ⁓ like she's a tall ass girl. Like she'd be good for our economy at some point. Jax: good for our economy in some ways. A very crazy thing to say about a child. Greg: I... I... like that was saying I'm just like damn and then like y'all me almost got his ass beat like when he first got into America because the way you say the word ⁓ in China is the same way you say nigga like nigga in China is ⁓ Jax: That one doesn't sound real, because ⁓ Greg: No, that's real. You look it up. Look it up. Jax: Like what do you mean saying like, just a sound. We just say, uh. Greg: Well, it's not it's not it. You don't you don't write the word nigga. No, like when they say, like I said, I was in a deep rabbit hole, I thought it was bullshitting. But then I just had to go through the whole lore of like, ⁓ damn, like they say a whole bunch of Chinese words together. So you don't even really hear a nigga like that. But if you just say it by itself. So, you know, it's like, damn. Bye. Jax: That didn't even sound right, bro. Whatever, Greg: It is what it is bro like it's the Lord it's it's the early 2000s basketball Lord man. It's in respect. Jax: Nah, they just want to beat y'all makeup. They just wanted to because niggas are assholes. Niggas just want to beat y'all makeup for some reason. Greg: Seven foot six. Crazy. Man, welcome back to another episode of the Play for Keys podcast, the only podcast where we do something different every single day. We learn. All right. I mean, we learn. We we get knowledge. I mean, just. It's it's not even it's not even Kobe's 81 BAM's 83. It's BAM's 83. I got 15 in the first. But, ⁓ Jax, man, how we feeling, How we feeling? a long week. Jax: Yeah, it hasn't been long we can not go home. But like we saw the love is blind finale or the reunion so it made up for it. Greg: Also true. I'm so glad that, so glad it happened the way that it happened. I was a little skeptical at first, but yeah, man. Y'all too then, we got a lot to talk about when it comes to that. But before we even get there, let's also pay these bills. Donations. Donations. Donations. Here comes the money! Yeah, we're not replacing the song. ⁓ We're not going to do it. ⁓ It is what it is. Y'all have a purpose. think, honestly, in my mind, I was like, two sounds is enough anyway. Y'all got the point. I feel like three is begging. I feel like three sounds is begging. Two sounds and a link down below. That's all I got for y'all. That's all I got for y'all. Jax: Yeah, it's fine. Y'all get over it. Greg: But before we get into the things that, you know, we care about, we got to hit our mic time and tell you. We do not care. Things we just do not care about first and foremost, the Houston rodeo. I heard y'all turning into whores out there. It's none of my business. It's none of my business, but. Jax: I'm like, this is the same thing. Like this is the rodeo always is. Greg: I wouldn't say always, but. In the social media post covid era, I will agree with you. ⁓ We used to be a proper country, but. you know, you know how Houston be on these were club attire everywhere. Doesn't really matter. But yeah, this spring break in Houston is kind of a I didn't know Houston was a spring break spot for niggas. Didn't know that was like a thing. Jax: Like people are gonna get these and realize it's not that. It's not that. I guess. Greg: Yeah, I mean, look, I my city. I'm wearing a sweatshirt off the strength, but I know my city. I know where to go. I'm just not going to be going anywhere in Houston. I calculated when I get back in my city. It's crazy. Jax: Yeah, same. Greg: Our city, Jacks. Our. Jax: You're from Humble. ⁓ Greg: The H assignment. I don't know how many times I gotta tell you this, but... Jax: Because it's spelled humble, so I'm gonna call it humble. Greg: Oh, wow. You know, city again. Never mind. Never mind that we was forming community. I thought it's a good village. I thought it took a village eggs. I'm not going to lie to you. Oh, damn, why does it work? We do not care. Next, we do not care. Miami, Ohio, and the hate that has been receiving. just not beating good teams, I guess. Jax: you Yeah. Greg: If you don't know anything about Miami, Ohio, it's been a lot of lore with them. ⁓ They're the only team this season to have a undefeated regular season 31 and ⁓ I think they lost their conference game, their conference tournament, but that doesn't really count. ⁓ Some people saying, hey, yeah, they're probably not going to make it to March Madness because they don't have the quad one wins like we like we talking about. Oh, football, SEC football or some shit. I didn't know this translated into the game of basketball. I thought it was just a football college football playoff kind of conversation. But you're bringing that kind of conversation lore into Miami, Ohio, and then saying some some dumbass shit like. And if we do put them in there, them niggas gonna get smacked. They're not that good. Oh, you know what the fuck March Madness is, nigga? Jax: Bro, it's a 64 team tournament. You can't put them as one of those 64 teams. They're undefeated. They don't deserve to be one of those teams. Greg: Yeah. They're under. You act and you act and like small schools ain't never beat big schools. There's a small school that beats a big school every year. Every year. Jax: And you're acting like, oh, is it so bad if a small school gets beat? Because that happens most of the time as well. Like, it's not a big, just don't even turn this. I'm being stupid. Greg: Y'all being pussy is giving y'all scared because if y'all if if y'all wasn't scared, just you would have been like, ⁓ yeah, put it in. But who would you want to see more? You you want to see Vanderbilt or some shit one? I think Vanderbilt is actually going to basketball. But like, I mean, you want to see like some low tier raking as SEC school. Jax: Like what Coastal Carolina or like Appalachian estate or would it like I guess or you can just own the undefeated Miami of Ohio. Like this is that's so stupid to me. It's 64 teams. Just throw them in there. It's not a big deal. Greg: Hey get the fuck out them niggas. I'm Sam bro. Like we don't we don't get we don't get good games like you remember like Florida goes Gulf Coast back in the day like in 2013 like yo like yeah yeah yeah I don't I don't know why niggas are starting to hate ⁓ first of all they're in Ohio there's not a lot of things to talk about in Ohio unless unless you're in love you know I mean we'll get we'll get to them niggas soon but yeah Jax: Yeah. It's still not a lot to talk about. They made Ohio look like a horrible place. I'm not going back to you. Greg: Not as real that's actually real put Miami in there. I don't even care if they're 16 see I don't care What seed they are they need to be in there don't care? Don't and don't do that other bullshit like y'all like to do like take an HBC you team out just to put them niggas in then I will riot Then I will riot We not too far far removed from a black history month. We do not care. No, let's not do that Next Anything else? What's the last thing? I should refresh. I don't even know. I don't even know if I put anything else on there. ⁓ that might be it. My should not refreshed. And if I don't remember it, then it didn't really happen for real. So let's go ahead and get to BAM's 83. Wilt. Bam. Kobe, nigga. I'm going to ask you to notorious because I mean, I know by the time we dropped this episode, Madniks will have mad conversations and dialogues about this. Jax: We didn't make it. Damn. Greg: ⁓ But if you haven't heard Bam Adebayo, yes, the Bam Adebayo of the Miami Heat, Idris Adebayo scored 83 points in a basketball game. Didn't even take overtime. 83 points. ⁓ Before I even get into the lore and the conversation, I want to say, Jax, number one, where were you when this happened? And number two, Jax: You Greg: At what point did you decide to turn your TV on and go tune into this basketball game? Like at what point, what was the stat line where you were like, let me chime in. Jax: I already knew he had got a 30 in the first quarter. I started watching after halftime though, because I forget what I was doing. I think I was like working on something or typing something or whatever. I was like, so I always knew I was going to tap into it, but I was just like, okay, let me just wait a little bit. I think another game might have been going on as well actually. But I knew I was going to tap into it. I just didn't into it after halftime. So I'm like, okay, can, the game's still going to be on. So I'll just watch the third and fourth quarter to see. Greg: Yeah. Jax: how high he can go. I was like, ⁓ maybe he might hit 60 or something. This nigga scored 80 fucking three points. And it makes no sense. Where were you when you ⁓ heard, when you knew this was happening? Greg: Right. you ⁓ Was at work I was at work they actually put me on another game they put me on like the Rockets game cuz they knew I was a fan and I'm like bro, this is at that time like, know Jax: Oh yeah, I think I was watching the Rockets game. I think I was watching the Rockets game when it started. Greg: And at that time, like I really wasn't even motivated to watch my team. If you know, you know, if you're a fan of the team, you understand why I'm talking the way I'm talking. And I know we're going to win at some point, but. All of a sudden, like there was another nigga like. Around us that was like working on the game, so Bam got 25 in the first quarter. I'm like, damn, 25. That's that's nice. How many minutes left? Four minutes only. ⁓ shit. I was like, damn, OK. ⁓ Jax: Yeah, okay. I see you, man. Whoop it. Greg: He's like, nigga, 31. Oh, shit. Thirty one. I say I got to I got to start to my niggas about this. I started texting and chat. Hey, y'all talking football right now. FYI, because I think that was the time when the Max Crosby thing happened. I was like, y'all talking football shit. Bama, the bio got like 31 in the first. Everybody kind of brushed past it, except for like Wafik, because I think as a fan. So I knew he was going to see that. I OK. Bad cool. Like, he'd be all right. Jax: Yeah. Greg: And then at halftime, it was like 48 or 43 at half. I was like, OK, like this respectable I'm in. I'm in the same mind as you, Jax. And he might hit 60. This is is you can you can get 60. That's fire. That's doable. get. Jax: You get like 43 at that time. Yeah. Greg: Yeah. And I was just like, and in my mind, I was just like, yo, I was like, yo, if you get 60 in my mind, I'm if you get 60, fuck it, just go 62, 63. You can you can surpass bronze, you know, career high there. But I'm thinking that's the cap. That nigga got the 63 so fast. I'm looking at the time. It's like 67 points. I'm like, nigga, it's still a third quarter. I fuck it, go get 70, nigga, go get 70, nigga. Jax: Yeah. When I see how much time I was like, ⁓ my fucking god, he's going to go for 80. He's going to try to get 81. Greg: Yeah. Once he got the 70s, I think once he got the 74, I'm like, yo, you got to score like 19 in a quarter. I'm like, I don't know if he got it because now they triple teaming him. Once he got the 74, 75, say, bro, you're like, you're like eight or nine away, like, hey, fuck it. Go get it, nigga. Go get it, bro. Fuck you. Jax: But yeah, once he got to 70, I was like, yeah, he's going to get that record. I was just like, at first I was like, maybe he'll stop at 81. Maybe, I was like, because I know niggas love Kobe, maybe he'll stop at 81. In the comm, I think, who was on the, I don't remember, but I think one of the commentators was like, oh yeah, he's got 81, it looks like they're gonna take him out. And I was like, okay, I guess. Then they kept that nigga in and I was like, oh, he's trying to beat that though. Greg: And I'm so good. You trying to pass that shit? That's real mamba mentality, nigga. That's real mamba mentality. I don't give a what nobody says. Oh, you know. Jax: And like he got to 83 and then they took him out. I'm not gonna lie. I was like, let me finish the game. Like there was time left. Let me finish the game. Just we're gonna do this. Let see if I can get 85. Greg: I'm saying that nigga probably dog ass tired. Yeah. 85 BAM's 85. That would have hit hard to. That would have hit hard to. I know that I know that nigga was gassed. I know that nigga was gassed and shout out to Eric's poster room. Jax: Yeah, man, listen, shot. Bam, he shot 20 of 43 from the field, seven to 22 from three, 36 of 43 from the free throw line. He also had nine rebounds, two steals and two blocks and five turnovers. But that's you have you have 83 points. You can turn the ball over five times. It's perfectly fine. Greg: Like, yeah, at some point. When we talk about the nastiness of the last three minutes, it was nasty. Of course it was. 83 points is still 83 points, nigga. I had no problem with it. Niggas talk about free throws. I want niggas to understand BAM is not a guard. Free throws are just not a given. All right. I view SG. Jax: I had no problem with the ending of it. But to be honest, he's not that bad of a free throw shooter. He's like an average free throw shooter. So that's why I'm like, I can see 36 to 43, he can do that. He's not terrible at shooting free throws. Greg: Yeah, like he he can he can do that. But at the same time, I'm just like, OK, like, yeah, I view it like I feel like a guard like Donovan Mitchell or somebody getting like certain amount of free throws versus a nigga like Bam or a center. I'm just like, I don't know why niggas were harping on the free throws like this. I'm like, he's still got to make them bitches. He's still he's still got to hit the most. Jax: ⁓ My real, like the biggest issue I have with this whole thing is really the Washington Wizards. It's really what upset me. Because like we like Bam Bam. We both, of us think Bam is a great basketball player and everything. But the whole knock on Bam, his literal entire career. is that he's not a scorer. It'd be like, oh man, that he would be so much better if they just had one more scorer. Because Bam can do all the other stuff. He's just not a good scorer. I think for his career, he averaged 16 points a game. In this season, he's averaged 18 points a game. They let that, Bam out of bio, that guy, who we know is good. y'all let him get 83 points. And then, Greg: Yeah. Jax: At the end y'all try to triple team him and all that so he doesn't score like no y'all should be ashamed of yourself for letting him get bam out of bio getting 83 points. That's like there's no way that should ever happen. There's no way that should have ever happened. I'm happy it happened for bam but the wizards are a joke like that. If I was a Wizards fan, that would've made me so disgusted. That would've made me, I think I'm gonna stop being a fan, in all honesty. Because there's no way you let that happen. Greg: And honestly. Bam could have scored anything outside of 81. And niggas would have let it go. Had he just stayed in the 70s? Yeah, the wizard, sir. Yeah, that was a crazy thing. It was going to, you know, at some point it'll die down. Jax: I'm not gonna lie. If Bam only got to it. Shoot, if Bam had stopped at 50, I still would have been like, y'all let Bam out of Bible get 50, what's wrong with y'all? Because like, it's still, he shouldn't have got that many fucking, 30 in one quarter is like insane. Like, what are y'all doing? Like, the players should be, I don't know who I blame more, if I blame the players or the coaches more. Because like, the coach, he's not out on the court, but. Greg: Yo! Yo, ⁓ Yeah Jax: It's like somebody gotta play for some prize. Somebody gotta have something to them, bro. I really cannot believe they allowed that to happen. I cannot. Greg: Yeah, I think that's fine. I think I understand where you're coming from. I think the shelf life of niggas given a foot would be significantly, significantly lower if he didn't like. Get get to like Colby Heights, even get in 50 like niggas would be like, yeah, wizards, that's fucking crazy. And then the next day we'll keep it pushing because look at that 51 like two days later, even if he got into the 70s. I don't even think niggas will talk about that like past this season. When the last time you heard somebody talk about Donovan Mitchell's 71 point game. Jax: Nah, I feel like niggas talk about that. I feel like niggas talk. Greg: When the last time you heard it though, when, who talks about that? Who talks about, who talks about, who talks about that 71 point game? And the only reason I remember that 71 point game is because that nigga decided to get it when Damar Hamlin died. Jax: When people bring it up, every time somebody scores a lot in the NBA, bring up, oh, they bring up Book, Luca, and Mitchell, and and Dame as well. When they talk about like 70 pointers and stuff. When somebody gets to like 55 or whatever, that's when they start talking about it. Like, oh, remember? That's when they start talking about it. I mean, that's what I've seen. Greg: Yeah, that's fair. When when another nigga get when another nigga gets high, they'll talk, you know, they'll talk about that shit or whenever they do the 70 points, they'll mention the player. But the real conversation that they'll start having is like. Who do you think is the closest that could that that could surpass Kobe's 81 like don't harp on Donovan Mitchell, but then be like, OK, like. Jax: Yeah. Greg: Since Donovan Mitchell got 71, who you think, what player you think he can get there? It's like, all right, nigga, okay. Y'all just using that nigga as a stepping stone for like a bigger conversation. was like, all right, man, cool. But because that nigga Bam, because that nigga Bam scored 83, first of all, I'm glad he scored 83. I'm glad he scored 83 because... Jax: It's very funny. Greg: It's very funny. think I think it helps like. I think it helps like the the basketball economy when it comes to like discourse. ⁓ Like everything it makes Kobe fans mad like I'm just in a happy place right now. I don't fucking like Kobe fans like Kobe Stairs. I don't like them niggas. I've never liked them niggas. And I've grew to hate them ever since they died. Like ever since Kobe died, like I've started to grow even more hate for them because like they be talking ridiculous sometimes or like they'll just be like pressing over shit that just don't fucking matter. We're not going to erase Kobe's legacy because Bam had 83 Kobe like Kobe's 81 is just like how white people think about 9-11. We will never forget Kobe's 81. They got is not going nowhere. I promise it's not going nowhere. Jax: They do. Greg: You can you can say you can say bam, but you can congratulate BAM and keep it pushing if BAM can score 83 We can do we can do it. Hey, man, we can do whatever we want in this life, We can achieve heights We can achieve heights that we ain't ⁓ Jax: That's really a big takeaway from all this. You can achieve anything you want. A BAM can score 83. Greg: You know, mean, if BAM can score 80, you know, like BAM score 83 and I started I started seeing things and saying, you know what? Maybe we'll do score on it. Maybe maybe we'll do score 100. I'm starting to get started now. Jax: That's the part that was killing me. I believe the Will 100 thing happened, but now since Bam got 18, y'all like, ⁓ okay, if he can do it, then sure, Will could have got it. Y'all knew good and damn well Will scored that 100 points, bro, stop it. Greg: They just needed to see footage of what a ⁓ non-shot creator looked like scoring 70 plus points. And bam was the closest thing niggas could get to. Because you know what wasn't tween tween, Hezzy niggas? What wasn't doing that shit? Jax: I mean, Will didn't have, he's just bigger than niggas, bro. He just walked to the back, did turn around, passed me that note and lay it in probably. Or just run by them. Or jump over them, Greg: Absolutely. Yeah, what was it? What was a crazy nigga, though? Like I started to hurt like remember the. Because, you know, as GA, he surpassed will in like 20 point whatever. 20 point games, because I could have been I found out the reason why his streak stopped was because that nigga got ejected four minutes into the first quarter of that following game. I was like, damn, what was a dickhead like that? And then I saw Jax: Yeah, most consecutive 20 point game. Sounds about right. Greg: An interview of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar saying, yeah, we was in an elevator one time and there was this guy. was like, hey, how's the weather up there? Like all jokingly and that nigga will spit in that nigga's face and said, it's raining. I was like, that's a crazy way to go about ⁓ white America. That's a crazy way as a black man to go about white America, bro. Jax: Yeah. ⁓ Greg: World is insane. Jax: Will was not a normal human being. Will was never a normal human being. Greg: B-Hands said he fucked 10,000. Well, B-Hands said, Will Chamberlain fucked 10,000 bitches and no kids. That's a crazy stat. No kids? Jax: It's probably for the best he didn't have. It's probably for the best he didn't procreate. I'm not gonna lie. Greg: ⁓ absolutely. You know how I feel about that, man. Jax: Like we have no idea what if that person, cause maybe he's going to have willed genes with that person have used those genes for good or evil. have no clue. We don't need, we don't need to know. Greg: What does evil look like? What does evil look like in a Wilt Chamberlain, like in a Chamberlain household? I don't know. Jax: The thing I don't wanna know. I don't wanna know. That's why I'm like, you know, it might be for the best. It will probably just for the best, I don't wanna know. Greg: That is so fair. That is so fair. But ⁓ like the age old and on top of that, I'm so glad we have a coach that was allowing a nigga to say, hey, yo, go get that shit. We were robbed so many performances of like, like James Harden had 60 and three quarters one time. Steph Curry had. Jax: ⁓ yeah, they were asking. Greg: You know, there was times where he that nigga got up high. I think we are finally Jax: When Karray got hit, when Karray had his moments where he was like, with like three dribbles, had 60 or something crazy like that, and they sat him like, we could have seen, we could have seen this record be broken by now. But I like, I did also like Tespo. He was like, we're going to leave him in. And then since they started playing all crazy, he like, you know what, go for the 83. I don't care. And like he's, he didn't apologize or anything like that, which is good. Cause I'm tired of people talking, oh, this is unethical. I was like. Greg: Yes, bro. ⁓ Good. Jax: If you get 83, you can't say anything. 83 is anything. There's nothing nobody can say about that. 83 in a win, if they would have lost, that would have been a lot worse. I'm not gonna lie. But 83 in a win, you can't tell me anything. So I like that's probably why you're there. Greg: I'm saying 83. Yeah. You can't tell you can't tell that nigga. You can't tell that nigga nothing. He been getting a Hall of Fame. Jax: Yes, the basketball hall of fame is easy. Man was always into the hall of fame. He has Olympic gold medal. Greg: Why why why why just just up to gold medals? Jax: Yeah, you got the gold medals. He's going to have the accolades and like the all-stars, all defenses. That's easily, he's going to all of that. Greg: two finals. Yeah, you can't score. Jax: Like respectfully, you're like Vince Carter, Vince Carter's in the Hall of Fame, Bam's in the Hall of Fame. And Vince Carter, don't think his accolades wasn't that crazy in comparison to Bam. Like Bam got two gold medals. Greg: ⁓ yeah. I don't even think of this car as a gold medal. Jax: like, yeah, so. Greg: Yeah, he's in the old four shit. Yeah, you right. You right. You right. You right. down. Down to that nigga. Damn, bro. Jax: Like, Griffin, Blake Griffin's going in the Hall of Fame. Bam's going in Hall of Fame. Like, what are you talking about? Greg: Yeah I didn't know Blake Griffin was. Jax: Exactly, so that's why I'll claim this. It's not a joke, but like, it's low-key sort of easy to get in, so. Greg: I think playing people. We thought it was a joke and then we started downplaying it too crazy. I remember we had that conversation with Jamal Crawford and Luel. I was like, on now, All right. All right, hold on. Jax: Me personally, I think they both should be in, but like, I digress. Greg: Hell no, nigga. Let's have some sort of decorum, nigga. ⁓ Jax: I think they should both get in just because of how they impacted. They were two of the best six men ever, bro. I think they should get in. But I understand why they won't. I do understand why they won't get in. But I'm just saying. But ⁓ let's go ahead and transition to football because there was a lot of deals that happened because it's free agency, of course. ⁓ Let's start with the quarterback deals and we can sort of, it's a lot so we can sort of breeze through some of these. But first on the board. Malik Willis, was a free agent from the Packers. He was their backup for a while. He signed to be the franchise quarterback with the Miami Dolphins. This one I'm sort of surprised just cause the Dolphins suck in general and don't got nothing going on. But then I remember that the Dolphin, they got a new head coach and that head coach used to, was a defensive coordinator for Green Bay. And then Miami, their general manager was one of the people that brought Malik Willis over to the Packers when he left the Titans. So like there's that familiarity. So hearing that, it all makes sense why he went there. But. Sucks to suck for him. mean, it wouldn't suck to suck because he's getting $67 million, but it's just like, the offense is not good. So I hope, I hope, I hope he can be successful there, but I don't know. Greg: Um, you know how I feel about Malik Willis. I hope he does well. I'm not banking on it, I'm not I'm not banking on it. I remember I said Brock Oswalt or type of a deal. It sounds just it sound this sound like exactly what Brock Oswalt or God. OK. Jax: Exactly. I was like this, and Brock Oswalt, made this, this, Brock Oswalt made this back when this was a whole lot of money. the fact that Brock. Greg: He made that in a different economy, nigga. was... Yeah, that's... the post-recession. Jax: Bro, I all this contract, now it's like, probably the equivalent now of like a hundred million dollar deal. Greg: Yeah. That it there. Because if Malik will is out of a hundred a hundred million. I feel like I'm doing a lot right now. I don't know. But as far as Malik will is. It could work as long as they are still focusing his office around you know the one H.R. Jax: What's in problem? that be. Yeah. Yeah. Greg: Cause in the game, you got to do nothing too crazy. All you need is a competent quarterback that can move his hips. That's all y'all really needed. So we'll see how it goes. Jax: Yeah, quarterback who can throw with a strong. He has a stronger arm than to a he can run more than to allow. I don't know. We I think there's a chance for him to do fine, but it's just the Dolphins just suck because they have no line. Their defense is sort of old. Tyreek Hill is no longer there, although when Tyree Hill was there, he was only good for like one season, but they still got Jalen Waddle. So I mean. We will see, but I'm happy he's getting a chance to start. Greg: Yeah. Jax: ⁓ next deal that happened was sort of in relation to this one because tool attack of ILO for whatever reason, the Falcons decided to sign him. And since he's getting a, he's getting a whole lot of guaranteed money from Miami. I don't actually remember how much it was. So like he's able to sign with Atlanta for the minimum. So he's not breaking the bank with them. Confused at first I was confused why they would do this but then I remembered that Michael Pinnix is a left-handed quarterback and tools one as well and that apparently has like a whole lot of Relevance to football teams the wide receivers and everything cuz like the way the ball spins and all this other crazy stuff So they wanted another left-handed quarterback. So it's just like I fucking guess That you want if you want this to be A quarterback battle between Tua and Michael Benix. don't like if you want that to be your reality, I guess. Like, I guess, bro. Greg: God damn. Them gang signs always fuck me up, man. They always fuck me up. I'm not gonna lie to you. God damn. Yeah, man, they both left handed. One with bad knees, one with a bad hip and head. ⁓ Jax: Don't. Greg: Look, at end of the day, it's ATL, ATL just does ATL things, all right? I don't know who to root for in this situation. I don't know who I want to start. Jax: I don't know who the Falcons want to start, honestly. Greg: Yeah, honestly, I don't know, Honestly, I thought this is where Kyle Murray was going to go. Jax: I thought somebody like Geno Smith or something would have went there, but I don't, man, CT, CTE, that like, GZ, when GZ used to CTE, he saw it in the future, bro. He knew this was gonna happen. Like, he was ahead of his time, I guess, I really guess, man. It doesn't make sense to me, because Atlanta has so many weapons, but we're going to see if it works out for this. Greg: N***a was ahead of his time. ⁓ man, look. Jax: I don't really think it will. Greg: Matt Ryan, Matt Ryan, I'm looking at you, nigga. I'm gonna lie to you. Your first couple weeks in office, I'm not moved by any decisions you did make. I'm not gonna lie to you. Jax: Yeah man, Ryan. ⁓ You're looking a little funny in the light, I hope you can bounce back. Next deal, we got triple. Greg: He bounced back since 28 ⁓ god he has him. Jax: Remember when you played for the Colts for that one year? one, the Colts were just doing anything, but two, Matt Ryan was also just doing anything, because you know you should have retired, bro. You know you should have retired. Greg: Their head coach was also Jeff Saturday, so I think that's more on the coast than Matt Ryan. I'm gonna be honest with you. Jax: You're right, you gotta be there. But ⁓ next deal we have. Greg: But your owner was Jim Mersey. And that nigga was crazy too. Jax: Rest in peace, Rest in peace, it's him right here. Wild major. Greg: Rest in peace, rest in peace. Jax: Next deal we have though the Raiders they're trading Gino Smith to the Jets where his career all began before you know, he got his jaw broke and then got excommunicated to various different teams and then revived his career and then he went to the Raiders and they Tried to destroy his career again. This one surprised me because me but I thought you know, he's just never gonna go back to the Jets, but then I guess when you know the team that you're on is going to draft the number one overall quarterback, you just have to go wherever they tell you to be honest with you. I think on Instagram he posted, was like, oh, this is going to be a full circle moment and blah, blah, was like, brother, do you want that? Do you want that circle? It wasn't a full circle. Like it was bad at the start and it might be bad when you come back. I don't know if you want that, Gino, but I guess, you know. But he's gonna be the best quarterback they've had since. Since Gino Smith, to be honest, they have had a good quarterback. So we'll see. We'll see who wins. Greg: Yeah, full circle moment, nigga. Full circle indeed, nigga. This one definitely surprised me. And when I heard this news, two things came into my mind. One. What happened? I just want to know where that nigga is now. The nigga that hit that nigga in the jaw. I want to know what that nigga does now. ⁓ I don't know what he does. Jax: feel like he's an analyst or something. No, wait, no. I think he's a college coach. Greg: That would make sense. Jax: me. Let me see. Greg: Yeah, that would. I think he's a African last name, I think. Jax: Yeah, his name is IKNM Kapali. I probably said that horribly, but it'd be like that. It's not, it just says former football player. I'm typing now, where is he now? Greg: don't think they're nothing. I think I that nigga back to the motherland. Now that's enough right there. Jax: I don't know, it doesn't really say where he went. So I don't know where he is, but I guess, man. Greg: Low profile. Jax: But I mean I know Garrett Wilson's probably a little bit excited because like I say he's getting the competent quarterback because I think we all think that you know He's not he had a terrible season last season, but I think we were all more along the line that that was more of the Raiders fault than his fault So we're gonna see if he got another chance to sort of resurrect his career one last time finish it off, right? And also it's probably Aaron Glenn's last chance because they you already know They already don't like black head coaches and then they're bad last season sort of embarrassingly bad because they didn't get like an interception or anything. now I see like videos of him at the combine with his eyes closed and people are like, oh my gosh, he was sleeping and blah, blah, blah. Like now people are like hating on him. So this is probably going to be Aaron Glenn's last chance as well. So hope it works out for both of them. Greg: ⁓ yeah, look, I hope it works out for both of them. Me personally, man, Yeah, yeah, yeah, still could have like. Because if they cut Justin Fields here. Jax: Nah, just feel so 19. Greg: You still on the team? Jax: Yeah. Greg: But all they need to do is just change his position, bro. He don't have to. He can still be on the team, bro. Like, there's still athleticism in that body, bro. He can really turn into like a, I forgot the nigga name. The New Orleans Saints nigga. I forgot his name. Jax: He'd be a better Tayser because he's faster than like Tayser Miller is solid for what he is. Just feels like a 4-3. ⁓ Greg: He can do that, I have that nigga in the backfield having a brief hall and Justin fields in the backfield niggas not using their brains enough for me nigga. And I've seen it and I've seen that nigga in Chicago. Jax: I mean, they tried that, but they just tried to let Justin feel the stroke. Greg: He's a wimp. Jax: I was like, they had both of them in the backfield. They just tried to let Justin Fields throw and it didn't work. Greg: Now, how that nigga deeper in the backfield, they're like, don't put that nigga in the center and don't wildcat that nigga either. Have them have them in a two point stands just like the other running backs. Come on now. Well, I'm pro turn these quarterbacks in the running backs if they big enough. Jax: ⁓ Next deal this is one probably the biggest I don't even probably the biggest but it is the biggest quarterback deal well Daniel Jones also he got resigned by the Colts I didn't feel like talking about that they resigned him for a hundred million dollars though which is very stupid but like I said Daniel Jones I don't know I don't feel like talking about that so ⁓ next deal though Kyler Murray I thought he was I was admiring about him going to the Jets I thought he would go to the Jets but He's signing a one year deal with the Minnesota Vikings. He's owed 36.8 million from Arizona. So his one year contract with the Vikings will be for the vet minimum because Arizona is going to pay him the rest of the money. So good work if you can find it, to be honest. ⁓ There are other reports that he was thinking about going to LA to like back up Matthew Stafford for a year and then take over as a starter once Matthew Stafford retires. But he's going here after this season, he's going to be a complete free agent. Greg: All right. Jax: So this is really like a chance for him to set up the rest of his career because he's going to be making a lot of money even though it's going to be paid by Arizona. of like, not even sorry, it is a good situation because you got Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, you got a defense that's led by Brian Flores who's crazy. So they got a really good opportunity for Kyler if he can take that next step or if he can like just return back to form because Kyler, I don't think he was. A lot of people hate Kyler. I don't think he was ever bad. He just got in weird situations and the Cardinals around him were bad. But I don't think Kyler was ever a bad quarterback to me. Greg: Not necessarily a bad quarterback. ⁓ He just wasn't. He was just never considered the lead. But. Jax: It is easy to make fun of Calamari, too, because it used to work. Greg: Yeah, I just think everything went downhill when they leaked out that damn. I didn't play Call of Duty. I was actually kind of crazy. Jax: Yeah, nah, that didn't mess up his, that messed up his perception. That messed up his perception. Greg: ⁓ Bad PR that being said JJ McCarthy. ⁓ Get ready to learn ⁓ Michigan athletics You're done Yeah, get ready Nah, I don't even need that No, I don't even need that. I've seen enough from him. Get ready to learn OC Jax: Tighten it. You're ready to learn. You're ready to learn. Taste some Hill J.J. McCarty. You Greg: Michigan athletics. Sheron Moore is gone. They need somebody else. Michigan Eastern Center. Jax: As soon as crazy. Greg: Queenie Scouts. Michigan, Michigan needs Michigan needs a lot actually. You're ready to learn Ann Arbor. Go go go go back to where you're loved. It's not Minnesota. Jax: Yeah. But one thing about this though, like... Greg: I think it'll be alright though. think the vikers will be good. Jax: I do too, but they're just saying the NFC North is gonna be a tough division next year. if Minnesota ends up how we think they are, cuz they were good last year, they just had a terrible quarterback. So now you just replace terrible quarterback with Kyle Murray, they should be good. Then you got the Packers who are, they're not a bad team still, they're still good. You have the Bears who made that next up in the playoff, and the Vikings, not the Vikings, but the Lions, Dan Campbell and the Lions. This division is going to be a, I don't know who's going to lose. Like it's going to be, I don't know who's going to win. It's going to be a bloodbath because literally every team was good in this division. Greg: True. I don't know who's going to win that division either. I'm not sure. Honestly. Yeah, there's going to be it's going to be like last year is going to be somebody with a winning record. That doesn't make the playoff. And in that division, I think that was the Detroit Liza, right? Detroit Liza, the winning record, and they couldn't make it. Jax: Yeah. That's what sucks. Yeah. Did they have a winning record? They either had a winning record or like a close to winning record. I don't know. They weren't bad. They just didn't make the fucking playoffs. Greg: Yeah, I think they were. No, I think they were. had a winning record. They just didn't have more winning records than the NFC West that had three niggas go to the playoffs. They were all. Jax: The NFC Greg: Yeah, think a lot of people downplay a lot of people include myself like downplayed the NFC because they don't have like that and that name the quarterback. You know how the quarterbacks, but the elite quarterback severely underperformed in the AFC side or they just didn't make the playoffs. So I get I think we're balanced now. Jax: They don't have the quarterbacks yet. Nancy, I think the best teams in NFC are more like complete teams. The best teams in the AFC are just good quarterback. The NFC got it like all around like the Seahawks, they won the Super Bowl. They had a complete team. Sam Darn is not an elite quarterback. He's just a good quarterback and everybody else is an elite team. I don't know. Next football season is gonna be exciting. I say that about every football season because I like football. So there's that as well. Greg: true. If bias has me Jax: But final ⁓ free agent deal. I'm sorry. But ⁓ we talked on the last episode about the whole Max Crosby deal happening, right? I am going to the right things, Greg: We talked about the deal happening. Yes, we did. Jax: Okay, I'm glad we did that because now the deal did not happen apparently because the Baltimore Ravens they have they the Raiders released a statement the Baltimore Ravens have backed out of our trade agreement with Max Crosby and they had no further comment at this time. Which is very, very, very insane, but here's my sort of my understanding of how like the chain of events or whatever went. So, cause this all happened. ⁓ Max Prodby and the Raiders, or the Raiders and the Ravens agreed to that trade a couple days before free agency officially started because there are always deals that are announced before free agency officially starts. this deal wasn't actually pinned to paper, it wasn't signed through. But anyways, they quote unquote agreed to this deal. But at the same time, they realized that, oh, wait a second, two first round picks, because that's what were trading, that's what the Raids were giving up. They're like, two first round picks is a lot. And Max Crosby, he's still not all the way healthy, because he actually just had knee surgery in January, I believe. So I think they got a better look at him, and were like, you know what? giving them two first round picks for somebody who could not return to form. I don't think we want to do that. So let's go ahead and say he fell as physical because technically he's going to fail a physical. He just had surgery like a couple months ago. He's not going to be good enough to pass a physical. He's not going to be good enough to play football. So they said, oh, boom, he failed his physical. So he can't do this trade. And then they went ahead and signed the other free agent pass rusher on the market, Trey Hendrickson. They signed him. to a four year, $112 million contract because the Max Crosby thing fell through. And a lot of people in the NFL are pretty upset with the Ravens because they're just like, that's not how you do business. You say you're going to accept this contract, you accept the contract. We had the handshake deal. Everybody, this is what normally goes on in the NFL and y'all went back on that. And I'm low key. I'm in agreeance with them. think they, Ravens definitely hold the Raiders because the Raiders, expect Max Crowley not be on their books. So they started signing a whole bunch of free agents and everything. I think they spent the most in free agency actually this season. So now Max Crowley being back sort of puts a... Greg: Yeah. Jax: puts a Max Crosby contract size dead in a lot of their plans. Cuz I don't even know if he's still like, I don't know if they're still gonna try to move him. I don't know if he wants to stay with the Raiders anymore. It's a lot going on, so I think the Ravens hold. I think the Ravens hold. Greg: I think the Raiders need to go ahead and find another, you know, find another destination for that nigga, Get that nigga off your books, Jax: I mean, but who's gonna want him? they're gonna, I mean, well, they won't get the two first round picks that they got from the Ravens again, but. Greg: Come on. ⁓ yeah, you won't get the same offer. You won't get the same offer, but. I'm pretty sure there's going to be an offer worth taking. That's better than just keeping that nigga on your roster. Because you're not ready. Trying to rebuild, trying to bring in a quarterback. I'm not saying, you know, people get so like obsessed with like, like, like the most perfect window. to win is when your quarterback is on a rookie deal, you have to pay him all that goddamn money and shit. And it's like, that's cool. But like, there's a reason why you got a first overall pick in the first place. You're not good. ⁓ like people can't really tell me when the last time a nigga won a Super Bowl and they rookie deal. That's not like a. That's not like an everyday thing. Like it gets you out of poverty. But like you not want to know Super Bowl with that. why do we keep trying to like do like the whole thing? For Super Bowl during the rookie bro, just develop your quarterback like a normal human being. If he pops, he pops. If he doesn't, then you don't have to invest all that goddamn money on him because there's only what three or four year deal or something like that. Like. Yeah, like, I don't I don't know, like, don't even put that that don't even put that expectation on. That's what happened when they did it with CJ Stroud. Jax: Okay. Greg: Great rookie year. Great, great rookie year. Nobody expected that nigga to do that. Second year and third year. ⁓ my God. Who the fuck is this nigga? I don't know who this nigga is no more. Nigga didn't cut his dreads. Y'all out here fucking this nigga up. I don't know what's going on. And I love and I love CJ Stratton. That's a believer in Christ. I just, you know. Jax: You It was tough. But I still thinks he just tried his good. He's just, you know, he has some issues to get through. Greg: I never understood that concept. So they just need to find a way to, you know, still trade him while he still has trade value left. Because the longer you keep him on the squad, the more, you know, niggas are going to start lowballing you like crazy. Especially when the ravers didn't hold you already. Find a destination. There's still somebody that's greedy enough to go get that nigga. And you can at least I thought you can still get at least one first round pick off that nigga. You could probably give him one. You can find you find a team desperate enough to give you at least one to first round to know. One. ⁓ Jax: I don't know. I know, but I feel like Nadya's gonna try to be like, ⁓ we'll give you a second. I think that's what people are gonna try to be like now. Greg: Fuck no. But even that second gonna be better than you just having that nigga on contract. I'm not gonna lie. That's a lot of caps. That nigga holds a lot of caps for you. Jax: Yeah, that's very, very fair. But I don't know. I'm just surprised the Ravens did that. Because normally we don't think about the Ravens as being no slimy organization. We think of them as a competent organization. trying new headcoats, doing some new things. I don't know, I feel like the GM, he got scared ever since the owner did that. He was talking in the off-season. Ever since the owner started talking in the off-season, I feel the GM a little shook. So I don't know, Greg: Why is Daniel Falale so comfortable in his job? Jax: Bro, honestly, I feel like that's why the Ravens were like, you know, we cannot give up those first round pick. We have to get a guard or a receiver or something. Cause the Ravens need help. But I think that first pick, like yes, they need a receiver, but that first pick, has to be a guard. Cause... Greg: That's That is fair. Jax: I'm not a Ravens fan and I know Daniel Flock or whatever. I can't pronounce his name, but I know his name. I shouldn't know his name. I shouldn't know the guard's name of a team I don't like. That's how bad he's been, unfortunately. And the nigga, he's like six, nine, 350 pounds. Like, why are you bad? You're that big. Why are you bad? So there's that too. Greg: you You should never. That is horrible, actually. Jax: Greg, I do think it might be that time. Greg: ⁓ shit, it's about that time. Before we get to there, shout out to that nigga Kenneth Walker, a Super Bowl champion, MVP, signing with the Chiefs. He'll help us God. And they got the number 10 pick. Jax: One thing though about the Chiefs though, act like Mahomes towards ACL like at the end of the season. Will he be back? Is he going to be 100 % at the start? We don't even know. Greg: ⁓ I don't even know who the backup is. Jax: It was Gardner mentioned, but he got, he's not with their team no more. I don't know, who is it? Who is it back? Greg: Yeah, he's not gonna do it. They need to call in my nigga. And he called my nigga James up. If James become in chamber, if James comes back on the center, bro, I might have to be a chiefs fan for like a couple a couple of weeks. They're going to hold you. I don't even like them, it was like that. Jax: Hon? Nah, they need him in New York because they need him New York. Jackson Dart's gonna get hurt again and they hate Russell Wilson so they don't want to put him in. Greg: but I don't fucking know. ⁓ OK, OK. That would have been that would have been a crazy pool. Jax: I think. Often like what is Russell Wilson going to do now cuz I know he still wants to Like what are they doing with that nigga, bro? Greg: You're right, and... I don't think the chiefs is the answer, but I don't know what the hell they going to do. What they doing with that? I mean, I could say the same thing for a few niggas, but. What are they gonna do with him? He might be a, ⁓ I can see him with the coats. Jax: You see, who are the coats? Greg: Russ, I can see them signing him. Daniel Jones is not ready yet. And we don't want Anthony Richardson right now. We'll grab Russ. Jax: They got Anthony Richardson. Greg: Did grab everybody else? Did grab everybody else that's washed? But yeah, man, I think it is about that time. Jax: You can still hear me, Greg: I mean it is about that time. It is about that guy. Hot take of the week. Love is blind edition. Love is blind reunion edition. Honestly, it's just love is blind edition because I'm going to bring up stuff that wasn't necessarily in the reunion just yet. But you know, you can go back and forth, but I'm to leave the floor to you first, Jax. Just let me know. Jax: Go! These aren't even, I don't even think you'd call these hot takes, but to be honest, like, I texted you this too. It's just, I don't know what about, I guess my hot take is Ohio's a horrible place because I just, I don't know what it is about these people, but they all, a lot of them seemed like, a lot of the stuff they did this season was like dishonorable as a person. Like that's not what like real niggas do. Like the. dudes were weird, the girls were weird, like everybody was fucking weird this season, bro. I truly hated the way they acted. I think Ohio's just like, I've never been to Ohio, I never want to. It was a horrible representation of the state. I can't believe it. They did a terrible job. They did a terrible, that's what made the season good. The season was good because they did a terrible job of choosing the people, but no. It was so many I had issues with everyone on the basically everybody on this show. I hated it. These were terrible people except for viking. They were normal. Greg: ⁓ he said he said instead of Vig and Christine. Jax: Yeah, they were normal. They were normal. Greg: Yeah, very normal. But then even people were like acting weird. Victor, they get so attractive. Why is even on the show? It's like, bro. my God. They are starting to throw fan fiction in his mother. People are fucking weird. ⁓ First thing first things first. ⁓ I don't give a fuck about the past. Jax: Cause he wanted to be on the goddamn show. I don't know. You know, yeah. Greg: Leave the past alone. I don't give a fuck about the couples. The past couples. ⁓ I fucking saw Tyler in the I saw a glimpse of Tyler. Like, why did why did you put that degenerate on screen like that's fucking nuts, nigga? That's so crazy. They're like, bro, of all niggas, please. ⁓ Respectfully, I love black women. I don't want to see a D no more either. ⁓ Jax: Yeah You Greg: I don't know why I'll be trying to make her like the face of love is blonde. I don't want to see that shit. Jax: Yeah, those little segments she was doing, I think she did last week. It's not, I don't care about, like, we don't care about the people. Greg: And when it comes to white people like I low-key kind of forgot some of these niggas and some of the names I no longer care Jax: I don't know, like, once the season is over, I forget everybody's fucking name, bro. I don't know any these. Like, next week, I won't remember any of the people from this season's name. Greg: Yeah, bro. I'ma say. ⁓ Literally. And that's OK, because we shouldn't have to hear these niggas ever again unless I want to personally follow. We're in the age of social media. If I want to keep up with them, I will go and look up shit on social media or some shit or they all got Tiktok. I don't care. These little halftime performances you have singing and all that cut that shit out too. Jax: I don't listen, I have no idea who those people are. Greg: I don't know who those niggas are. Now granted, y'all did a good job. I did not bring a basketball court. Y'all did not bring Chris Paul. So we was already on a good start. nigga, I fast forwarded through all of that singing. Please don't do that no more. Don't do none of that shit no more. I hate that. Jax: They're gonna keep doing it, I don't know why they're gonna keep doing it. I did like at the reunion though, everybody in the crowd was a former Love is Blind contest. I thought that was, I was like, okay, that's cool. Greg: Yeah, the way they shaped it, you would have thought like this was like the last season of Love is Blind ever. Like, oh, like this is a real reunion. Oh, but I just feel like they're making too much money. And I think that Vic and Christine, based off of what they're talking about, like based off of their experience and how they talked about them going to Malibu. They brought them to this bag. I don't think it was ever going to make the cut for this show. But once they saw what niggas was doing in fucking Mexico, it was like, hey, I don't think none of these bitch ass niggas getting married. Hey, let's bring you back so we can at least have one nigga married. Y'all born, but we'll keep you. We'll keep you out of the keep the mystique of the show. Maybe love is blowing. But not in the good. I'm trying to figure out what was what was another thing that. Threw me the fuck off. Oh. All of a sudden forcing us to start hearing the word Devo. I ain't heard Devo all season long. And now you're just trying to force me to hear this nigga be pronounced as Devo. That's one of the cringes names I've ever heard in my fucking life. Jax: you Bro, they just started calling him a nickname out of nowhere, Your name has been devised. Nigga was engaged to a woman for like a month maybe or whatever. We never heard her call him Deep. We never heard anybody call that nigga Deep. Greg: Nowhere nigga, I'm like, who? Bye! I was I told somebody this you know what you know what Devo sounds like Devo sounds like a black man that does not date black women Cuz who is calling you Devo Devo That sound like a white person gave you that motherfucker, bro. I'm so sorry Jax: Lokey that off like that's another because like like I said everybody was with Bree that Bree girl. She was weird, bro. I didn't know why ⁓ what's the name? Greg: Very weird. Priyanka's a weird bitch too. Jax: Yeah, they do like Brie, Priyanka and Ashby. They're all weird, Because they were, when, what's the name was talking about? I'm gonna be forgetting that name already, but when Chris, yeah, when he was talking about Jess, they were just there, like, not defending her, like, damn, why didn't you say something to make him stop, when they were not doing that? And then that weird, the girls trip thing with Devo, I don't know, and then like, Greg: Mm. Jax: breathe with like, ⁓ yeah, girls, y'all were there too. And trying to throw it in me. I'm like, this is a weird bitch, why does that nigga like her, bro? She seems like a terrible person. I don't get why he likes her. I'm just like, bro. Greg: And why and why are these Ohio contestants so obsessed with the city of Austin? God damn. I guess cool, but like damn nigga twice, like I heard this shit throughout the season and then even after the season, you're just taking trip. Maybe that's just a Priyanka thing. Maybe Priyanka is just the leader of the group chat. Hey, let's go here. Jax: I've been to Austin multiple times, it's fine, I guess. also like Priyanka, she's pretty beautiful woman. Why are you at the center of every problem, bro? Why is she, she didn't find no match or nothing. Why do we know your name like this? We shouldn't, bro. Greg: Honestly, if I'm being honest, let's wake this bitch up. Why the fuck do they keep bringing like pod niggas to the to like the gatherings like later into the season? Why? Why are you bringing me? I know they always do that. Why? Why? You ain't you ain't get matched. Why? Why are you here? Jax: No, that's what I always do. They always do that though. I mean, because they're friends. They haven't seen them before. No, just one, because they're friends, haven't seen them, and two, because they want to, the producers, want to stir up if there's any drama or whatever the fuck, like, that's why. Greg: I guess, nigga, I fucking guess. One thing I do like about this season of Love is Blind is that ⁓ no real black people, and I said emphasis on no real black people, on where like the center of all the drama or like, ⁓ like they were like the thing to talk about. It's refreshing. Jax: It was for a little bit with Kevin and the freaking here in Thailand. Yeah. ⁓ Greg: Yeah, okay. Okay. One in them two black women, Tyler and I forgot the other lady's name. Both pretty women. Yeah, like it's refreshing seeing black women say, yo, I'm going to choose myself. I'm going to stop you here. I'm not delusional. I know what's about to go on. You have work to do. And then hey, one like even being mature and I'd be like, yeah, I know. Yeah, yeah, right. You know, I mean, Jax: But at least they got out in time. They got out in time. You know what, y'all are right. Greg: I like I like a you know, a mutual like, OK, like let's go ahead. Bow gracefully. I think I got it here. But. As far as that, I'm like, damn, like, oh. Oh, my God. I didn't like Connor either. I don't need a backbone that good. Connor was just. You let in that was a girl. You let Brie walk all over you, talk crazy shit about you, my nigga, Len Len. Jax: Yeah, that's Bree's girlfriend or boyfriend. Bro, I'm like, she's like, like, one thing that just didn't make sense to me, when, ⁓ when they went to each other, or when she went to his house, she was like, ⁓ my gosh, she's his house is so terrible. It has a keg and blah, like, I guess the keg isn't like, I'm not a beer person. I'm not a keg person. So like, cool. The keg is the issue. Cool. And then like his door, like the lock on his door was fucking crazy. Cause it was just like a hook or some shit like that. He needs to get that fixed as well. But like, Greg: Yeah, that was crazy. I couldn't defend that. I was already bleeding. Jax: How sudden was that? It's like this is so crazy. I'll, and honestly though, outside of that, like his house was fine. Like I have, she just kept insults. And then we got to her house and I'm like, your shit is normal too. Like you did the same. Like what are we fucking doing? But she's just an asshole bro. Like I don't get, I do not get it. I do not get it. Greg: Nothing wrong with that nigga house, bro. I did not I do not get it and you're still with that woman and you keep talking the whole season. You're like Just a normal guy. ⁓ I need like a clicker I'm like a ticker on the fucking like left side of how many times I said Just a moment. I'm just a moment guy. They're gonna stand up for yourself, bro And you let that fuck nigga Chris gap you up after talking to your bitch spicy Jax: Yeah. He said he didn't know about that. He didn't know about it until she told him. But I bet she didn't like, she was entertaining that nigga, bro. Greg: I'm saying like, I'm, I'm, Jax, some real shit. You don't, you don't look at, you don't look at your woman when she talking to another nigga, but you don't glance. Jax: No, bro, that thing, he was like, oh, I saw it. was just, I forget what he said. What he's just used to be like, he was like, oh, I just saw it. I like, oh, she's talking to him for a long time. And I just kept playing like bowling or whatever. Greg: Like come on my nigga like I didn't know what I don't I don't care if you didn't know if my woman's talking to somebody a little lengthy I don't know I don't know cuz it depends if it's money going out but in the context of what's going on here Yeah, y'all y'all y'all exchanged, you know Jax: Yeah, in the context of love is blind, like, no, you can't talk to nobody that long. Because I know what that means. Y'all can have it. We're not doing that. We're not doing that. Greg: Yeah, bitch ass nigga, I know what y'all talking about. That nigga shooting from half court with some of these goddamn shots he's hitting and she's just out there just Jax: Ha ha kiki like no. Greg: ⁓ my God, stop. Stop. Stop, Chris. Shut up, nigga. ⁓ my God. Like the only reason like all that really told me is she's overly going. And the only reason why she didn't overly go is because the fucking cameras was there and she didn't want to come off as like no mean bitch. But you're mean, nigga. Chris talked Chris talks to her because Chris know Chris know how to talk to her like Chris know that's why he was getting all red pill with that girl. Jax: Bro, exactly. And she was eating that shit up too. I was just like, man, bro, this is terrible. I cannot, I can't believe Connor, bro. I can't, he's just a play. Greg: I can't believe Connor either. was like, yo, because I'd be rooting for that. They could come like, bro, I know you're not this delusional. I know you're not this delusional nigga. And then I need you to be in my house and be like, oh, am I am I am I with the liability? Hey, hey, bitch, think relax. Jax: No, nigga, speed. ⁓ I'm like, you don't get to talk to me like... you Greg: Stop talking to me like that because ⁓ my god. ⁓ Do you think it's wise for you to keep talking? What are we talking about? ⁓ Jax: Do you think it's wise? ⁓ my God. then no, but delusional bro, Britney. I didn't like anything she had going on this season. She was obsessed with that nigga who clearly didn't like her. But her dad, after her reunion, that nigga was weird, bro. Like that's what I'm saying. Like Ohio, weird ass place. How is your dad weird too? Like that shit was weird, bro. He was like, did you lie to my, like nigga, yes he lied to your fucking daughter. That's the. Greg: That's crazy. That was weird. That was weird as fuck. You Jax: What in this motherfucking show? Like we know he lied to your daughter. He's like, are you okay? Did you lie? Like, why are you talking to us, bro? Like, I Greg: Who gave that nigga the mic? Who gave this nigga the mic at the reunion? God damn. Jax: you I feel like it was like AD or some shit. weren't they talking? But like, why are we talking to them? Like, we don't give a fuck about this nigga, man. Greg: Like, we don't... You not, obviously. And on top of that, when it came to... I mean, when it came to Alex, I think when Alex was talking to... ⁓ I forgot the girl. What's the girl's name? Jax: Which one? Fight the girl who wins or? Greg: Alex, the girl that Alex was with. Jax: like Amber or Ashley or something. It started with an A. Greg: One of the mazes when he was talking to when he was talking to her dad. Also, OK, this is more in line like it looked like it looked like two scamming ass niggas having a scam off the way they was talking to each other. They both look like scammers. Jax: I don't even know, I don't know nothing about her dad. I hate him. I hate that nigga. I know he's a bad person, Greg: And like, I feel like he saw it. He saw it. He was just like, ⁓ this nigga thinking too much like me. I'm not like, Jax: He was like, I'm a dickhead, so I know he's a dickhead. Greg: He's like, I'm a scammer. Like I see the qualities. I respect your game. You're not doing it with my daughter though. I respect your game though. This is a little too perfect. Jax: And then, was a bad skimmer too, bro. And then, what's her name? One of the hosts, was like, she tried to like give him like, have like a real conversation. She was like, I'm really just trying to talk to you and you keep trying to like have an argument and back talk. And he was like, I understand that. It's just like, he needs some, he needs some, he needs some mental health, bro. Man, what's another thing I got? Greg: and then keep talking about he keep talking about soccer and shit and then let and then let Devo beat him in soccer. Jax: N***a made five out of ten. I thought you was the number one pick or something. You know that n***a don't play. He say he play football, like you know he don't play no goddamn soccer. Greg: think I suck? Like whole personality. I'm trying to tell you whole personality was revolved about that nigga having hoop dreams, failed hoop dreams. And this is how you go out, nigga. Jax: I don't even I really don't even know why they included that in the fucking thing because it just made him look terrible Greg: They couldn't put it. couldn't put a soccer. They couldn't put a soccer net in the in the reunion. They couldn't. They didn't have that pool to get Lionel Messi or Ronaldo at the reunion. Let it be Chris Paul last season. So they was like, you know what? We'll just have an outside thing for y'all niggas. That shit was so fucking pathetic. Jax: He was a man. I didn't like Alex, but the girl he was with either, I didn't like her either. And then when she tried to have like that, the girl Alex was with, the blonde girl. Greg: ⁓ I didn't like her either, but if I I speak too loud, they're going to be like, oh, I'm problematic. Jax: No, that speech she gave it the way like, Alice was tripping, like that speech was OD. Like she could have like. Greg: Yeah, I choose me. And you're a liar. It's almost like James. It's like James. It's like it was almost like James Harden and Darryl Morey at the altar. then they get James Harden being like, Darryl Morey is a liar. And I'll never work with this nigga ever. Ear? I think we both want to say no. didn't. And one thing and one thing I don't that never made sense to me. Niggas that are just agreeing to say, hey, let's just say, let's just agree to say no at the altar. How about we just don't show up? Why are we getting dressed up just to say no mutually? Jax: No. I think they had to like pay niggas back or some shit like that. no, the thing is though, if we agree to say no, why the fuck would you go up there and say yes? That's not the best. Greg: Yeah, Emma on some bullshit Emma was on some bullshit Emma and Mike Cuz I was fucking with Emma Cuz now you trying to make me feel like a bad nigga Jax: I know this nigga, I know this nigga, my nigga, like my nigga. And then you seen the host, she was like, we tell people not to make a decision before the altar because you can get up there and your decision might, and I'm like, that's why you make the decision before the altar. So it can be a logical decision and not an emotional one. But heard them as she said, yes, that thing was like, and then she was like me saying, yes, that means I wanted to have kids. And then could clearly ask at the altar, do you want kids? You could just say, He asked you, yes or no. Greg: What? One kids? Bitch ass nigga, what the fuck are you talking about? Jax: That shit, I was fucking laughing so hard. Dude, like that means yes? I'm like no, that's not how works. Greg: Mike! No, it does not. He asked you point blank. And the music changed to the background for us. So we know it was a serious thing. Like, it was a serious question. What the fuck? ⁓ my God. Jax: You didn't even fucking answer! She is funny as shit. Like she's funny for real. Greg: ⁓ my God. Another another couple that we didn't really harpoon that ⁓ really made waves Amber and Jordan. ⁓ Well, fell bad for Jordan. Well, I kind of felt bad for both sides, but mainly Jordan. You know, I mean, shout out to the plus size men community. You know what mean? Put on for what a big niggas. You don't see a lot of big niggas on Lovers Blind. Carried themselves well. That being said. Jax: I feel bad. ⁓ I think he might be like the first fat nigga. Greg: Yeah. Yeah, because I feel like what they would consider fat nigga is like in the past is like a nigga like Devante. Devante would be like, what do you? ⁓ no, no, no, no. There was a black dude. There was a black dude that was a. That was a Charlotte, I think was Charlotte. Yeah. I remember, I remember that he was a principal and this just started coming out there. ⁓ yeah, that is a gay nigga or he was gay. ⁓ Jax: in. No, that one there has that one, ⁓ the tall black Something like that. one who just kept like, touching my phone or something. So yeah, he was good. Greg: Shout out to North Carolina A &T. Jax: But still, it's, but still Jordan, I like that I felt bad for him, but they both, or not even they both, I think he was sort of normal. She has some stuff she needs to work through. Greg: Bro, she little no disrespect, bro. She do look like she hit niggas, Bro, I can I can see it in her face, bro. I feel like she do hit niggas. Jax: And then like the fucking, after the whole like group meeting or group get together or whatever, when she started like yelling at that nigga like, low key I could see like she has something, cause I think he had said that he was a little bit nervous about meeting her dog. And she like blew it up out of blue like, well if you can't handle it. And I was like, that's not what he said. He just said he was nervous. But I think that was probably like. Yeah, no if you're a single parent you shouldn't be on. Greg: And on top of that I don't even think I don't think single mother should even be on this fucking show anyway Jax: Yeah, you shouldn't be on love with a Black person. Greg: And why you pressing this nigga to move in with you so soon nigga when you live with your daughter? You want your daughter around a nigga that you've only met for like three weeks, a month? Jax: No, that I'm not gonna like that. I get it. I get both side like cuz one 45 minutes like that that drive It's a long drive. But like it's really not that crazy like niggas make that drive, bro She was like my commute's longer than 45. So he could have made that drive but like he didn't of course because she was Mean to him and stuff like that, but like he couldn't move near with her He just didn't want to be in wherever the fuck they were cuz he likes Greg: Come on, bro. Yeah. Jax: He liked wherever he was more. I don't remember the city names, but still. I wouldn't want to move my stuff in there. I get there, he's just always yelling at me. he was like, she was treating him like her exes or whatever. And he hasn't even done nothing wrong to her. Because he didn't, like the whole show, didn't do nothing wrong. He's just a normal ass nigga. So that's how I feel. Greg: Yeah Yeah, yeah. You like I got to I got to be I got to be around. Somebody that. Low key is deflecting, ain't doing no work to get better. And you crashing out on me and you love the drink. Hell no, I'm gonna see you on the weekend, bro, like we we hell no. I don't know. But like, I'm just saying, like, even from like a single parent's perspective, I get that the shit is accelerated. If I was a single parent, yes, we got married or whatever the fuck we going on. It's going to take a little minute before I just say, you won't move in and be around my fucking daughter or son. They're like, I don't know. Jax: But that's further attestment that they shouldn't be, like, if you have a child, you really shouldn't be on this show. The point is they just need to married like that, bro. So I don't. Greg: Yeah, I agree. I don't want them. Cause what the fuck? Like, like you don't know them niggas. You just in love. You can take that risk on yourself. Your love is not blind. ⁓ having, having like a step-parent, that can't be. But outside of that, was there anybody else I was missing? Hit everybody. ⁓ it come. He's a what? Jax: mean, Chris, everybody just hate, Chris, but everybody was just hating on Chris. Greg: Everybody everybody hates Chris. I don't even know why he was there for him be honest with you, but I I respect Shout out to that nigga. Shout out to Nick getting in on that nigga Ohio boy to Ohio boy. Hi, relax Jax: I was surprised but I guess... Bro, both the hoes like, the hoes are like, I don't wanna go there. You know good and damn well, I don't mean nothing. Don't, nigga, don't talk to me. Apparently Ohio boys seem horrible, because I'm watching the goddamn show. Y'all niggas seem like pieces of shit. Greg: What the fuck is an Ohio boy? Yeah, I'm saying. And y'all employ horrible niggas too, Johnny Menzel. Jax: Does that work? Greg: Goddamn. LeBron? Let me stop. Let me get off my billionaires are evil shit. bad. But yeah, nigga. Y'all have not proven anything. You know what? Ohio. Y'all all right. No, nigga. Hell no. Jax: You I don't want to go to Ohio every year. Greg: Never that didn't increase any of my chances of going I know it's not I don't even get I don't even get layovers in Ohio So it must not be popping for real. Um, not for me But that being said I do have one more hot take and my biggest hot take of them all is that Every every season And I'm not just saying just love is blind, but we'll say love is blind too. Every season does not have to have a reunion. ⁓ I stand on that. This season surprised me because in the midst of us having this love is blind, whatever, I was like, ⁓ okay, like. I don't even I don't know if this does this really need to read for real. And it wasn't until it wasn't until the end of the trailer and stuff. That's when I'm like, ⁓ OK, I need to unpack some shit like this. This is great. But before then. Jax: No, this need, need, this need an ender. Yeah. Greg: I'm like, bro, like there's there's certain things that. They don't talk about like big glaring issues like y'all don't really go deep in the depth about certain shit. So it's like. Jax: Now this was like the first reunion where they actually like asked good questions and stuff. Greg: Yeah, like the questions be horrible or like I learn more information via. When they do podcast outside or whatever, then like the actual reunion and if it's like some glaring shit, it's like y'all are very surface level with it. So like there's certain seasons where I'm like last season, didn't I need a reunion the season before that really didn't need no fucking reunion, nor did I care where to have a. Jax: Yeah. Yeah. I think last season needed a ring, but the season before that didn't. Because last season was the one where the girl had took his ring and disappeared or something. Greg: Yeah, but at the same time, it's like. The highlight of that shit, when everybody says, what do you remember about the reunion? Everybody keeps talking about fucking Chris Paul. Why the fuck was he there? Like when y'all got shit to talk about, like y'all don't be doing your jobs. This is the first season. like, okay, Nick, you're doing your job this year. Like I asked him the questions, X, Y, Z. Jax: this week. We should have known after seeing that Chris Paul stuff that he didn't have much longer in the NBA. We should have known. Greg: Yeah, we should have known the writing. The writing was definitely on the wall. But like I'll say like there are there are like clear like you can make a debate for last season. Fair. But there are some that are like, OK, undisputedly, we were always going to need a reunion for this season seven. When before an episode drop, we found out that Tyler was getting lesbians pregnant. We needed a reunion just to see. Jax: Yeah. Yes. Greg: How you finna spin off of that shit? And even then, they didn't go into as much depth as they really needed to to get that shit off. That was crazy. ⁓ shit, even season six probably needed a reunion. I think that was what? Was that the Clay and A.D. Jax: Yeah, but they didn't. Greg: Yeah, that needed a reunion. That needed a reunion. Season four with Colin Zan- Zan- Zan- Zanab or Zanab. That needed a reunion because what the fuck? What do you fuck you mean? You finna gaslight me about some fucking oranges. The fuck you talking about? Jax: to. She was such a bad person, bro. Like, she was. Greg: and still double down on not the no apologies. She just kept lying. Yeah. Those are shits that you need a reunion for. You don't need a reunion for or, you know, the season before or whatever. And I'm not I'm just saying like even if you want to go outside of Love is Blind, like there's a very popular show called Traders. We don't need a reunion for all those either because. Jax: I don't know, they did a reunion. Greg: Some of y'all don't know how to fucking act. ⁓ Married at first sight. The only one that needed a real season was Chicago. For y'all that know, y'all know that was a crazy season. When you cheating with somebody else that's within the cast, you always need a reunion for that. Jax: you Yeah, my laptop died. Greg: Yeah, I heard I heard the dagoon and also. I don't know if you're going to make it is on. I look, I look you better. I made an outro. I look you made an outro just in case that nigga didn't know. I was like, yeah, my my nigga gone, y'all. Who am I had to catch on because later? But no, but but in all seriousness, that was my heartache. But Jackson's last words. Jax: Yeah. Yeah Alright bro, let's just end this whole real fast, cause my shit's fucking up. Man, let's just end this whole. Greg: Yeah. So we'll catch y'all niggas next week. Touch some grass. It snows melted. We'll catch y'all niggas next week.
