Episode 143: Your Work Wife Cannot Be Famous! · Play 4 Keeps Podcast

• Greg: Man, welcome back to another episode of the Play for Keys podcast. The only podcast where we do something different every single day, not an hour, not an episode. This is a daily thing. Podcast for casuals. If you're a casual, this is the show for you. Early in the morning. Fucking 844, Jesus. Mind you, this is always Jackson's fault. Always Jackson's. Jax: I mean, like... Greg: We do mornings only because of him. Jax: Is it? I feel like it's because of you. Greg: I'm saying if there's a if we have to pick between doing this shit in the morning or doing this shit in the evening, you're picking morning every time. And and you're going to complain about it and you know, I guess we got to hit this eight. Jax: ⁓ it's good, whoa. Bro, because I'm not gonna be here in the afternoon. So we had to do it in the morning. Greg: Fair, this one makes sense. But them other ones, you had options, nigga. I'd be like, hey, yo, I work from here to here. He said, damn, I guess we gotta do, hey, I mean, we don't have to. We can do the late. Jax: Because you begin off it like, you begin off it like, late. Exactly, it's late. Greg: 9 a.m. See you'll take an 8 a.m. over at 8 p.m. Jax: Yeah. To get out the way faster. Is that not crazy? Greg: Ha ha! That's not all I'm saying is that's not crazy. But what is crazy is telling you the information and then you text me. Damn, do you hate me? That's that's crazy when you had two options, nigga. Jax: Hahaha Hahaha Greg: I'm sick, bro. I'm sick. I'm in the, ⁓ shit. Hey, in the midst of us recording, ⁓ shout out to Jordan Booker for donating, hitting that donation link. Donations. Donations. Donations. Donations. Here we go. Money talk. Jax: You Greg: Yeah, shout out the book man. Crazy. What you doing up this early? ⁓ he's probably at work. Let me stop. I'm tripping. Jax: It's not that, like it's early, but it's not really early. Like people be up at 8.40, four or whatever. Greg: Yeah, I ain't worked a normal job in years, I only I haven't seen I don't remember the last time I drove through. Morning traffic. Work traffic, school traffic. That's never been the I've never I don't think I've done that in years. I think I was still in Houston doing that. I can't believe I get stuck in fucking. Lunch traffic. I think it's only lunch break. They just start. Jax: Fair. That's fair. You I hate that. Greg: Like, damn, where the fuck y'all at? And why y'all at the grocery store? The fuck? Jax: I think that's worse. What's traffic worse? Now coming back is worse. That traffic is always worse. Coming back, so off-road traffic is worse than, then I guess going to work traffic, morning traffic. mean, then lunch traffic sucks. Lunch traffic is terrible. All day on the road terrible. Cause just drive. Greg: lunch traffic lunch traffic, especially if you're off and you just trying to go like go to a little drive through real quick. This bitch wrapped around. Whoa, bitch. I know some of y'all got 30 minute lunch breaks. I can't enjoy this. It picks up nails. There's no way there's no way, but I know y'all don't care about that. So we made a second for you. Jax: You You Greg: called We Do Not Care. Feature of my time. If this button were do not care. First things first. Baseball is cooking back up again. Another brawl. I don't know if I have that video. I don't think I put it up. ⁓ But niggas was going blow for blow. ⁓ I think it's in our chat. Jax: But yeah, this fight happened between the angels and the braids, between Reynaldo Lopez and Jorge Soler. This is uncooked raisin. So later he was upset that a couple of pitches were like high inside and a little bit too close to his head. And he had something to say. Greg: Yeah. ⁓ my god, is that the ball? Jax: Yeah, he never let go of the phone. It was very funny. Now, granted, fight, it's not as good as the, who was it? It was Anderson and, yeah. The fight's not as crazy as that one, but it is still very funny, especially because he ain't let go of the ball. Greg: Tim Anderson and Jose Ramirez. Crazy. I'm thinking this is one of the first ones where I couldn't see where it was brewing. Like even with the Tim Anderson Jose, like they were like talking and you could see them talking before niggas got the box. And these niggas look like they just stared at each other and they Jax: Yeah. Now it was cause Lowe said he had thrown like a couple of pitches I was just like a little too close to head, to Buddy's head and he was like, no, we're going. But I don't know what they were saying to each other back and forth, but know, Salera clearly wanted, you know, that action. But I mean, to encourage him like that. Greg: No. No, but I'm saying I'm saying I'm saying in the sense of like they weren't animated in their talking before fighting. It was just like they looked at each other. looked like a understood thing. You know, we fit in it. We don't square. You might as well get ready and we're just staring at each other. But. The one and the second funniest thing about like stuff like this is when. Jax: And that's exactly what I Greg: The bullpens like 30 seconds or 40 seconds later, like they all trot out in unison with no sense of urgency. They're just trotting out like it's like a slight jog pace. I'm just like, ⁓ you're just. know by the time I get there, everything's calmed down. It really didn't take 50 niggas for you to clear the bench. Jax: It didn't like, I don't get it. That fight, didn't really feel as, I don't know, it didn't feel that bad to me. It was a real fight, he would have to let go of that ball, feel like. And I actually like tried to punch him for real, but he didn't, so. Greg: Yeah, I don't need 50 niggas. Yeah, well... But that is a shout out to Tim Edison, the only nigga to get the last nigga to get hit, get a real connected hit, get a hit off. He ain't been the same since, man. Jax: I was gonna say change that man's career. Greg: Change that nigga trajectory. Fuck. I Jose Ramirez went to a World Series after that. Fuck. But moving on before I start reminiscing about the Montgomery brawl, let's go into some NFL. We do not care. Everybody hates Lamar Jackson. OK, now. If you would have asked me, does everybody hates Lamar, if you would have told me this last season, maybe even two seasons ago, I'd have been like, OK, like he has his haters, but. It's really not that bad for it. Like, it's just like, you know, some of you, you know, it's just some extremist, you know, a.k.a. Ash, a.k.a. Brad. You know, you have some of those people that just you're just trying to get it off. I don't I don't pay attention to them. And even some of the media has like, know who it is. But it's now getting to a point where I'm just like, OK, now we're lying. Like now we're not accurately reporting just off of the hate. ⁓ Jax: soon. Greg: For people that don't know what the fuck I'm talking about, Lamar Jackson, was this voluntary workouts if I'm not mistaken? Yeah, voluntary workouts with the team. And before people got a real notification of who was all there and who wasn't, Dan Arlovski, not a friend of the show, was just going crazy. I forgot the clip. Jax: Yeah, it was voluntary workouts. Greg: But he, you know, going crazy, basically saying, you know, it's crazy that Lamar Jackson's not there. I like just talking this pure nonsense because. Jax: I'm saying he wasn't a real leader because he didn't show up to the off-season workouts and everything. They're like, ⁓ he's done this in years past as well. And it's like, that's not true. That's also true, but still. Greg: That's not true. And then 20 minutes later, Lamar Jackson, there's footage of him doing drills with everybody. And on the internet standpoint, the clip of Dan Olansky, they took that off. They that clip off the internet. They scrubbed it. They know how to. Jax: ESPN had clicked that and put it on their, what was it? What show was it? First Haker? Get Up? Or whatever. was on there, ESPN. But they clicked it or whatever and they put it on their social media pages because they knew it was going to go viral. And then boom, it turned out that was wrong the whole time. Lamar was there. The Ravens posted him walking into practice. They posted him doing drills, working out. So was just like, why are we even? Come on, bro. Greg: It was probably it was probably get up Like, come on, bro. I mean, there are so much. There's so many things you could talk about. Like, literally, the draft is right around the corner. We don't have to. We don't have to, you know, talk about Lamar Jackson right now. Like, we could, but like. You could have waited until the next day to get that shit off. It was confirmed. Didn't. Like. Jax: Thanks. Yeah, yeah, because I was doing that on the absolute first like before before the volunteer work out three even over they were doing Greg: Yet they were doing it as the workouts were going. And I'm just like. Yo, y'all acting like you got a weekly podcast like like us. Where is like, OK, they're not we're not going to talk about it until another seven days. If I get this wrong, we can correct it. But you can even phrase it as if he's if he's not there, that that shows a real leadership. You could have been like, you know, I hope he shows up because this is a new coach that you could have phrased it like that. But you didn't, which is why, nevermind. I'll save it for hot takes. I'll save it hot takes. Anyway, we don't care about it. So we won't put energy on it. But at the end of the day, all this stuff is rage, big man. If you're not the Cowboys, Ravens, the Chiefs, whatever, they're not watching your team anyway until they have to watch your team. So don't take anything that they're saying seriously. They're not watching everybody at the same time. ⁓ Jax: Yeah. Greg: Next, we do not care. White people drama. Don't you love it? Mike Vrabel and Diana Rossini was not on my bingo card ⁓ as of 24 hours ago. But, you know, times have changed. ⁓ Photos leak of them bonding. A lot of team chemistry. ⁓ Based off of the things you know, because I don't know a lot. I just know both of them are married. And I don't know if Dianne Ricini is coachable, but I'll ask you, Jax, what the hell is going on? Jax: ⁓ fuck. Man, I don't even know exactly like, well, is this really a whole bunch of rumors followed by pictures, but ⁓ Mike Vrabel and head coach of the, who's he coaching now? Patrice, him and Diana Rusini, who's a NFL reporter for the athletic and she's been around for a while. She's been famous for a while. Anyways, they got spotted at like some. Greg: Absolutely. Jax: random couples resort or retreat in Arizona, I think like that. And at first I was like, okay, like they could just have, cause they said, people asked them about it, like reporters and everything. And they said, ⁓ we're there with friends at like separate times. We just happened to like meet up there, which you know, seems valid. And I willing to give them like the bench with the doubt because like, why not? But then like it came out about how that resort is low-key like primarily a couple of resorts ⁓ People were other people were there at the resort as well and like wouldn't other reporters asked and they were like, no, it seemed like those two were together and blah, blah. So pictures came out. They was like in a hot tub together. I think there was one of them like holding hands or hugging or something like that. And mind you, these two people are both married to different people. So it just like, ah, that sucks. like normally I would like, I feel like I'm growing like a heart in my old age, even though I'm not old, like, I feel like. Normally I wanna like joke about this, but now I just feel bad for their spouses if they are in fact cheating on them and getting caught. Cause I'm like, damn bro. That sucks. Especially what's her name? What's her name's husband? Because they've just been finding all types of videos. They're like, I'm 1000 % sure that Reseedy is just joking in all of them. like, they just make everything seem so bad. Like, I don't know. Greg: All jokes contain some form of truth. not gonna hold you. Them jokes is funny because there's some truth in them. ⁓ And on top of that, niggas are Eagles for ya. Jax: But that's funny as shit. Man. Ooh. Greg: We're seeing you, Sousman. Jax: So sick. Greg: So that lets me know the type of back and forth they be going through. Those are unhinged niggas. ⁓ So yeah, they probably joke around just like that. That's probably a joke. And it's probably only a joke that she can say. I know that type of vibe. I know what happens when you match energy with certain people. It don't hit the same. Now you watching this just trying to figure out how you could have attacked that better. But Jax, before we get off of that topic, ⁓ is she coachable? Would you would you would you have would you have that kind of presence in your locker room? Jax: I don't even know what an energy looks like. Greg: A more regular white woman than me. She look like a East Coast white woman. Jax: I mean, is she an East Coast white woman? she's just white. I mean, yeah, you're right. She just look like a normal white woman. Greg: I don't know. She looks like a normal, distinct, she probably, and the way she talks, I'm like, okay, like, tell me from the East Coast. Nothing crazy. Jax: Yeah, she's from New York. Greg: Easy. Makes sense. Jax: Get out of soccer. Greg: Yeah, so that may that puts a lot of things in perspective ⁓ because East Coast women are rude by default that's their form of ⁓ flirting. It's talking shit East Coast women are rude by default They're rude by default. ⁓ that's their that's their form of ⁓ flirting. It's talking shit Shut up bitch ass nigga ⁓ She's Shut up bitch ass nigga Jax: I don't know if Diane was calling her husband or my regular bitch ass nigga, but still. I don't know if Diane was calling her husband or my regular bitch ass nigga, but still. Greg: Hahaha ⁓ You're right. You're absolutely right. But, you know, I won't be the judge of that. But speaking of judges, we do not care. Shout out to my nigga Judge Mathis, man. Got his wife back. Got his fucking wife back. ⁓ Man, look, it's been a long time coming. People say that wouldn't happen. People lost faith in the king. They lost faith in my guy. Jax: You're crazy. Greg: Man, look, it's it's a celebration. Now, Jackson, let you know, I just I just I just grabbed the first thing that looked like Judge Matthews. I know they cut it and edited like this. I'm be honest with you. Had I had I known. We would have picked a different video, I promise you that. I was really I was trying to vibe. I was trying to be like, OK, like it'll come back. No. Jax: Thanks. Greg: Absolutely. Actually, I should have I should have shifted this video before I did that. ⁓ But to get back in the business, Judge Mathis, his wife files to dismiss the divorce. They are officially back together. I think this happened, what, two years ago? Jax: I feel like it's been a minute. Yeah. Greg: Yeah, about two years ago and he had that infamous airport stop by TMZ where he was focused on his marriage. He's trying to get his wife back. And some people doubted him. Man, it comes to this combined with BAMS 83, there is nothing in this world you cannot do, brothers. If you put your mind to it, you can do whatever you want in this life. Shout out to, shout out to to real black excellence. Jax: Judge Matthew was 66 getting his wife back. They've been married since 1985. just. Yeah, the same marriage is he was what 25? Greg: ⁓ my god. Also. Jax: Yeah, go ahead and just... You have to get your wife back at that point. I'm not going home. It's been too long, bro. Greg: You gotta get your wife back, because ⁓ two years felt like an eternity for this nigga. ⁓ my God. No, man. That's till death do us part. I mean, it's some people in that in that stage. They do that thing where they get little too cocky with it, where it's like, you know, you're not going nowhere else. No, man. You know how that meme of. That nigga on the video game and he's like laid back and then once the competition said. With Judge Mathis, no way. Hold on. Hold on. I'll play it. You're playing 94 feet. You're playing clutch defense right now. Jax: Oh yeah, when you guys see that. Greg: But that's that's it. Shout out the black excellence. Melinda. We're not even not in the March no more. But. Fuck you, man. Let's get right into it. Let's talk about the women. Real quick. Tennessee women's basketball has zero players on their roster currently. Jax: Oh wait, before we even get into all that, the college basketball, the seasons are over. Shout out to, who won for the women? UCLA, they won for the women and... Greg: surprising. Jax: Michigan bumper the man and that's all we had to say about that. I do what because the women's game that was a blowout Yeah, they sort of stopped South Carolina real bad not gonna hold you and then the men's You're sort of like the same but the ending was it got a little close to him, but not really Greg: Michigan. Jax: But yes, nothing sad about that. Now in Tennessee, they don't got no, they don't got no players in their roster no more. Greg: Yeah, they don't have anybody on their roster anymore. This is. This is head coach Kim Codwell has been kind of a little bit under the radar because respectfully, it's women basketball. And if you're not South Carolina or if you're not Yukon and Gino or Juju Watkins, nobody's checking for you unless you're talking about your internal fan base. But everybody has started to hit the transfer portal. or they were just seniors. She's been having difficulty with this with this roster. It was turning sour for a long time. think there was something that happened on senior night. She wouldn't play a senior. On senior. Yeah, that was Tennessee. That was to the sea. and on top of that, they're. ⁓ Jax: ⁓ that was, that was in school? What was I saying? ⁓ jeez. Greg: their five star recruit who was, you know, number two in the country also at Jax: There's videos of her like dunking in dunk contests and everything. I was like, what the hell is this? Like yeah, she is. Greg: Yeah, she is on her push ice tea. She asked for her release. She said to sign it. So Kim Carl will hand over those earlobes. We're taking those earrings out. It's crazy. I've just never seen I've never seen a basketball team where it's like, yo, we don't have nobody. don't have anybody. Mind you, this is this is the same college that had Pat Summit. This is the same college that had Candace Parker. This is not like, you would consider this low key one of the blue bloods of women's college basketball. Like they used to hoop the 90s, the 2000s. You know, it was a drop off. to see that and the fact that in any other circumstance, which is any other team, any other company, any other, anything, the coach would have been got fired. Jax: Yeah. Greg: The coach would have been let go. In fact, they've owned, they've, they've, think what yesterday or two days ago, they fired two of their assistant coaches and another coach and another assistant coach took a head coaching job at UCF. So there's one head coach and there's one assistant coach. Nobody else. How is your head coach still employed and you firing assistant coaches? Jax: It's because you need so like you need somebody if you fire the head coach and the end of final assistant coach There's gonna be nobody on that like that woman's locker room is gonna be empty. There'll be no no players No coaches know nothing. So you got to keep somebody but I feel like we're just gonna start seeing more and more stuff like this with with like with the rise of NIO, I mean, I don't even know if you called the rise like we're already in the middle of it, you know, cuz Greg: If all of you Jax: once other teams can just like buy your, literally just buy your players, like what can you do? Greg: They ain't even get bought yet. They're just hitting the transfer portal. Jax: I may see even worse. I'm not gonna lie. Greg: That makes it even worse. That's like somebody quitting a job and saying, hey, I'm quitting. I don't know where I'm going next. But hey, I got to get the fuck out of here. That's different than a nigga saying, hey, won't play with you. You walk in, know, somebody luring your player. I'd give you a little bit more grace if all of your players leave. They can't all it can't be on them. Like if you lose your five star recruit that dunks. Jax: No, like she, she left because she saw, everybody else is gone. There's no one else on this roster. So that's why I have to leave. like that I'll give her grace for that. Cause there was nothing she could do about that one. Greg: You have to get fired! There was something that they could have done because this has been brewing for months. I'm not saying the girl. I'm talking about and I'm not talking about Coach Kim Caldwell. I'm talking about the University of Tennessee. There was something you can do because this wasn't like all of a sudden. ⁓ we're all going to plan to do this. This has been brewing since November. You could have definitely you could have. And you got blown out in ⁓ the first round of March Madness. You could have definitely cut ties with her. You definitely could have, especially when it started brewing a little crazy. Jax: But keep it, be honest though, Tennessee, you fight, like they already got, they had the recruit already. You fired a coach to recruit. Granted, the recruit left anyways, but if you fire that coach that got the recruit, the recruit's probably gonna leave. So that's more than likely another reason they didn't wanna fire her. Greg: You a point. You got a point. you got a point. Damn. Yeah, you right. It is probably a lose-lose. I'll give you that. I'll give you that. You know what? Yeah, it was nothing. Yeah. Yeah. You convinced me to be on your side. There was nothing. That's crazy. Damn. Hate that. Jax: Like there was nothing like it would in that situation. You But I'm sick though, because we got into this college basketball thing first, but we should have talked about another ⁓ major, some more major news in the women's basketball world because Angel Reese got traded. And this, feel like this is a long time coming because we've started to get more and more like into the weeds or whatever for like WNBA basketball and everything. And one thing we always saw was that people hated the Chicago sky and the injuries needed help. So they finally got her the fuck out of there. She was traded to the Atlanta Dream. Dream were trading a 2027 first round pick and a 2028 first round pick. Greg: Yes. ⁓ Jax: for Angel Race and a 2028 second round swap. So she will be on the Atlanta Dream. And that roster is not like, I'm not gonna say that roster is like, you know, the greatest thing ever, but that roster is still subject to change, still the off season and the, the BNBA draft. feel like that's like next week, honestly. Because I know it's like super duper soon after the college basketball season is finished. Hey, let me look that up. I'm pretty sure it is next week. So that roster will be looking different in the coming days. Greg: Yeah, because they already They are actually it may not because those they finished third. They finished third. In the conference. So, you know, they got pieces as long as they're able to retain pieces. I think. Adding Angel Reese to that, could, you know, they could could tend like it is not going to be nothing. Jax: Yeah, the draft is on this upcoming Monday. Greg: Yeah, because they already they did their expansion draft, I think yesterday or two days ago. Not them, but the Toronto tempo. And I forgot if there was somebody else, but yeah, they did their expansion draft not too long ago. And I think they just they probably just tweeted it out or told you like what what players were there. But I don't I don't know. I didn't go into the weaves of that. Jax: I said. ⁓ I didn't realize I was like the official draft. I thought that was just like people were saying, people doing like a mock expansion or whatever. I didn't realize that was But no, that was the official one. I didn't realize that. Greg: Yeah, that was the official one. And the only reason I've been keeping up with the tempo is because I got the girl's name. The head coach over there, she was formerly the New York Liberty's coach. So I know she's good. She had New York rocking for like the last three or four years. Jax: Yeah, was the Toronto Tempo and the Portland Fire. Portland Fire is a terrible name. I'm not gonna hold you. And Toronto Tempo, also a terrible name, but I digress. Greg: Yeah, I don't, yeah, I don't, I don't, these are interesting names. Jax: You know. Greg: You know, I mean, how did you feel about the Golden State Valkyries? Jax: Valkyries are cool, like in mythology and everything. like, I'm not entirely mad at it. Like I see the reason. I think fire is, fire just could be better. Like fire is a cool like element, but it could be better. Like name could be better. then tempo is like the pacer. Those aren't real things. Like it's stupid. Like what's a pacer? That's not a thing. Greg: Okay. we can. Jax: What's a trailblazer? That's also not a thing. what are we? That's why I don't like those names. But other than that, it's fine. Whatever. But talk about the injuries. So let's transition once again back to college. But this time on the men's side, because UNC, they fired their head coach, ⁓ Hubert Davis. And people have been wondering who's going be their head coach. People thought Billy Dodgen was going to get the job, maybe ⁓ Stackhouse, maybe another UNC alum. But no, they got... ⁓ probably the best coach available like in the world maybe because they went ahead and got Michael Malone, former coach of the Denver Nuggets, former championship winning coach, a coach that I think objectively everybody thinks is good. He just got fired from Denver because like. timing and a little bit of message probably growing a little stale but Michael Malone is literally like an amazing like I don't know about him as far as like being a college coach although college has become the pros now but if you want just a good basketball coach that is exactly what you're getting with Michael Malone. Greg: Right. This one this one was interesting to me. I'm not gonna lie because Jax: I didn't know he was on their radar, but I mean, he's the best coach. Greg: I didn't know Mike Malone was like I didn't know that Mike Malone had a radar for the for college. I'm going to be honest with you. I wasn't so like. Jax: Also true. Also very true. Like really, really, I didn't know UNC was on his radar. Like this is really the other way around. Greg: Yeah, like that's really what it is, because I'm just like, ah, look, I didn't know. mean, when Dan, when Dan Hurley got that call from from the Lakers and did the interview, I was like, OK, it kind of makes it still make sense in my mind. I was OK. A two time national champion. Sure. Why not? You know, I could see that this right here. Specifically, because this is North Carolina. I'm just going off of the history of North Carolina. Well, Carolina like doesn't. Necessarily go for coaches that could go back to like the NBA. For sure, like they tend to get somebody that say, know, like the they come in with the mentality like, you know, I'm a retire a tar a Tar Heel coach for the most part. Jax: then. Yeah, they get like, they get alums or people who are like, are like the, cause they're like the big program, they're like the big legendary program in college basketball. So they get like the up and coming hot shot or something like that. Like, you don't, you don't expect this. Greg: Yeah. Yeah, you don't expect this, but the more I linger on it, the more it kind of makes sense for both parties, ⁓ specifically for Mike Malone, because one thing about Mike Malone, like he could have definitely been back in the NBA as an assistant or whatever that first year or whatever. But. ⁓ I don't think he he's I don't think he's in the business of being an assistant. Yeah. Jax: Thank ⁓ no, he seems too good to be an assistant. Greg: You know, I'm a head coach that made it and won an NBA championship. And I don't think he's also in the business of rebuilding something from the ground up either, like from a standpoint of an NBA team. Like, don't think, like, going to the Wizards. Jax: You don't want to be on the next or the Wizards or something like that. Greg: Yeah, the Ness sort of wizard. was going to say Utah, but Will Hardy is over there. And I think Will Hardy, you know, he got some cooking. Yeah. And most contenders, you he's I don't he's not he's not no dark, dark rivers as nigga that's gonna snake somebody that's gonna make somebody's job to get to where they want to be. So I think sometimes you got to look at when you look at it from Mike Malone standpoint, I've done everything in the NBA, technically, you know. Jax: Yeah, he's a kid, man. Yeah. Greg: I won an NBA championship. don't know if he won a coach of the year. He probably has. Like he's one those you can't when it comes to different Nuggets basketball, you can't write different Nuggets basketball history without mentioning Mike Malone because he's tired. Jax: He probably has, ⁓ yeah. He's never wanna go through the year. Crazy. Well, everybody knows he's good, so I mean, it don't really matter. Greg: Interesting. Interesting. Yeah, it doesn't really matter. Nobody, nobody, nobody's telling him that he's a yogic merchant. Like nobody like, you know, I mean, they're not going to treat treat him. Yeah, so like from his standpoint, it's OK. Well, I got the championship. I can go get the bag and maybe I can shape and mold people the way I want to, you know, play basketball and I don't have to deal with egos because even though there's NIO. Jax: We are in San Francisco. Greg: money to be involved is a difference between talking about two million to five million to ⁓ supermax contracts of 300 million. You know, people, you know, trying to convince them why a pin down should work versus something else. You know, just do what I say, nigga. Just do what I say. So it'll be interesting. I don't think this is the first time I've seen this in a while. Like an NBA, like a really good NBA coach. Go down to college. Jax: Yeah. Greg: Did you see Coach K's comment about that? About the hiring? Jax: He was like, ⁓ they hired Bill Belichick and we saw how that worked out or something along those lines. Very, very funny. Because he's not wrong. He's not wrong. Greg: Hahaha He's not wrong. He's not wrong. It should be a it should be a hit. It should be a home run. We'll see if it is. Sometimes niggas get in that booth and sometimes niggas get in that little studio booth for a year. Imagine don't hit the same when they come back and do coaching again. Who knows? I think about Mike McCarthy all the time. The fuck was that? I think I'm I'm really pissed about that. I still be pissed about that. Jax: Bro, this... Greg: Nigga hyped up that little train of film that nigga did. Hot. I watch film every night. Jax: Bro, he was lying about, that's the thing that, he was lying about that. Like he admitted that, yeah, no, I just made that up. like, he lied, like, if I was Jerry Jones, I promise you, as soon as I heard that, I would have fired him. Cause that's so disrespectful. Oh my. Greg: But like at the same time, like from from a nigga that's from from seeing other niggas that do interviews in real life, it's hard for me to handle that man too, because that used to be my bag too. Yeah, that's all I know how to do. Hey, do you know how to code? Just got done coding yesterday. When do I start? I ain't looked at no kind of coding. Jax: You Staying in college though. ⁓ This happened low key like, I think like right after we finished recording our last episode, which is funny, but ⁓ really not funny. Greg: Yeah. Jax: is not funny, but what's his name? Donald Trump. He announced an executive order that placed limits on NCAA eligibility. He was saying that from now on, the new rules shall be five years and one transfer and then another transfer if you're a graduate or whatever, which is sort of what it was. mean, that's exactly what it was before. like. With his executive orders, you never really know what's real and what isn't, because he just says a lot of stuff and calls it an executive order and says this is now a thing, even though it might not be a thing. But after that happened, the NCAA, they're now exploring the significant change to its eligibility rules, saying that... athlete to have five years of eligibility from the 19th birthday or high school graduation with no red shirts or waivers. So this is only being explored right now. I don't know like if it be a thing or not. I don't know what bearing the executive order has on that. Cause like I said, it need just be talking sometimes. So I don't even, I don't even know. That's all I can say. Like we're supposed to tell you about this news that happened, but like I don't even know what to say. That's how confusing this is to me. Because you, they just be saying stuff, bro. So you legit, have no idea what's going on anymore with anything it feels like. Greg: It just... I just don't like... Will it go into effect? mean, because of an executive order. I mean, he said a lot of things. Because of who's in office, I'm just like, OK. Jax: He should be saying stuff. You never know when real road Greg: Yeah, I'm just like, so basically five years of eligibility from their 19th birthday or high school graduation. No red shirts or waivers. I'm just like. I guess like. I mean, if everything is to go as planned, technically. What this improve? College sports. Honestly, we're only talking about football and basketball because, you know, respectfully, nobody's really checking for those other sports like that, but I mean. Jax: Yeah. Greg: Technically, you can go to college at any time. Technically, you can't go to college, you know, at any time. And even when this rule was in place, there was niggas that were older. There was always niggas that was older. Even at University of Houston, there was a nigga named Dan Roy. Nigga was a smooth, 27, 28-year-old nigga putting footballs for ⁓ back in 2014. Jax: Also. Greg: So even when this shit wasn't even egregious, we still had Australian niggas like niggas that come internationally. ⁓ I mean, it's an executive order. It's not necessarily final, because it checks and balances this shit, right? So I mean, somebody could argue this in court, right? Jax: Yeah. Allegedly. There's supposedly checks and balances on stuff. Greg: I mean, yeah, you're supposed to. Other than that, this nigga would have vetoed everything. So I mean, I'm sure there's some checks and balances. I'm just wondering how well this will hold up in court, where it's like, OK, well, mean, college education is free. I don't know, And on top of that, I don't think that, like I said, I don't think that's the real issue, as much as it is the NIL aspect of it. Jax: Exactly. Greg: A lot of this shit. There's a reason why old niggas are staying is not because of the love of the game. That is because NIL is not NIL. You can you can get money from any and everybody and make a living like crazy. So I don't I don't know. This is another thing that we talked about last week or two weeks ago where I feel like I feel like this nigga is just trying to cure. ⁓ Jax: they can do that from anybody. Greg: cure things that didn't have diseases for real. I don't the transgender thing. Now this you're not really attacking the problems. You just put in band-aids over shit that needs surgery. I think that's the. Jax: year. He's not attacking the problem because he's creating the problems for everything. Greg: Yeah, it's not a good person. Insane. But we move on because we won't know how true shit is until probably August nigga. I ain't go why. Jax: Yeah. Shoot, we might not know the outcome of things to August in this next topic too, because Giannis is doing a Giannis thing again. He leaked to the, not leaked to the Bucs, but he leaked to the NCAA, or he self-reported to the NCAA that, this team is not playing me even though I'm healthy. Yeah. Greg: and beer. The NBA. NBA. That nigga don't have college eligibility, NBA. Jax: He gave a quote. He's welcoming the investigation. He gave a quote. He's saying, I've never seen a case of a player of my caliber that's saying publicly that I want to play, you know, I don't think I've seen this. So there needs to be investigation. There should be one. I don't know until we figure something out. And this is off the heels of the big, did you read the Sham Sharanya article? I didn't even really know he wrote for real. I just thought he reported on stuff, but the Sham Sharanya article in ESPN just about the The downfall of the Milwaukee Bucks. Did you read that or no? Greg: No, I didn't. I didn't read that. saw like certain I saw certain like readings of certain certain things got like clipped off or whatever. But no, I haven't I haven't gone in there and read it. Jax: I read it and it's sort of like I'm gonna say sad because everybody in this is a millionaire making a whole lot of money but it just feels like the whole entire team is not I mean, doesn't he feel like the whole entire team is not on the same page? There's Giannis who wants to get traded, but he also wants to play this season because his brothers are there. And this will be the first time he's ever had a chance. He's played with the Mats before, his youngest brother Alex is. Also on the team, he's finally getting some minutes because they're tanking. And this will be the first time that he honestly ever had a chance to play with him because his brother's like eight years younger than him. So they never like teamed up together. So that's why Yonis wants to play. wants to make those memories. The Bucks want him to sit because they can get a higher draft pick if they sit him. Doc Rivers just wants to go home because he never wanted to be the coach there. He told them don't hire me and they hired him anyway. Cause he accepted the job because like it's $40 million. What am I going to do? Not accepted. So. Of course he took it. Bobby Portis is upset in the locker room because he's the only one that's, the story say he's like the only one that's like wants to call things out for what it is. He's like, hey, we need to figure this thing out so we can actually move on as a team. But nobody listening to him. What else? The GMs don't like Yannis anymore after they had a, or Yannis with his last contracts, he signed like a. Handshake agreement saying that hey if you guys ever do end up having to trade me Let's at least go about this amicably so nothing bad happens. That's obviously not happening is this it's just a whole lot of everything going on with you on this right now and they tried to get something done during the ⁓ Trade or rather before the trade deadline in the heat where they were going to trade into the heat at the trade deadline But they're like, know what? Let's just wait until the offseason so we can get a better return. So All signs are pointing to Giannis not being with the Bucs this upcoming ⁓ or this next season. as far as playing ⁓ for the rest of this season, well, granted, only like one more game. So he probably won't play that game. So sucks for Giannis, I guess. But I just, I can't believe they let him get this bad. That's what I got. I can't believe they let him get this bad after reaching such heights as that championship. Greg: Yeah, especially when you're a small market. Damn, they go like. Well, I got the at the end of the day from a Milwaukee standpoint, Some of that stuff just not on them for real. Some of this passive-aggressiveness, it's like, all right, my nigga. We employ your brothers that shouldn't really be employed for real, my nigga. We are doing some things to accommodate you, bro. This is not, it's not like it's like, how much more help does he need? We've tried, okay? We tried to get Dame. Even though I don't agree with Miles Turner, that is a piece, but I'm just like, It's not like we've left you high and dry like on some LeBron shit like we tried. We gave you drew holiday. We gave you some other things. We got you know, and it's been bad ideas and just didn't work. Just have just haven't worked out. Yeah, I'm saying it didn't work out. ⁓ Buddha Hozer, we fired him. I don't know what the real reason was, but normally when somebody was a championship with you. ⁓ Jax: These have been bad ideas. At least, these are bad ideas. We haven't worked out. Because they didn't work out. Greg: The only reason they tend to get fired is if the star players just not fucking with the vibes no more. And you're just doing things to keep him here. So you do that. And then we trade for your guy, Adrian Griffin, because allegedly you wanted that nigga. So we gave him to you and then we had to fire that nigga midseason to the I don't know why. I still don't know why we had to fire that nigga midseason. Jax: They really should just, they weren't bad. just, they weren't bad. Like they just didn't like it. And I'm just like, bro. Yeah. I feel like he he could have figured it out. He could have made y'all figure. He could figure out how to like get y'all to like him. But y'all triggered her. Y'all fired him and got Doc Griffiths. ⁓ another thing in the story. ⁓ After like, I think it was like after they lost to. Greg: We like, like BYE Jax: the nets or something like that. They had like a bad loss and Doc Rivers, he went in the locker room and he was like, y'all need to Google me. I take teams who shouldn't make the playoffs into the playoffs. And I thought you are one of those teams. And I'm like, dog, that's not really helping anybody saying, hey, I'm Doc Rivers. like, yes, you're Doc Rivers. Yes, you're going into the hall of fame. Congratulations. But like, niggas Google you, they'll see a lot of, they'll see a lot of bad stuff about you, as far as like the various three one losses. how every time or every team he plays where they end up like just not liking him in general. They'll see a lot of stuff about you dawgs. I don't know if Google means the best response. Greg: Yeah. Yeah. Googling, Googling in general, you find some things out. ⁓ Did you watch that? ⁓ Did you watch that Phoenix game against the Rockets? Jax: No, I said no, I don't want to subject myself to rocket basketball. Greg: Well, not to get off topic, they had this, forgot who this commentator is. It was a white commentator and they had Derek Fisher there. And in the midst of them like talking or whatever, like at some point he's trying to get Derek Fisher's perspective on like, you know. Championship building clicking at the right time looking at the Rockets, know, just trying to make some small talk in between like a challenge review and He was just like who's you know, who was the hardest team, you know you faced or who you think was the toughest matchup in your career and he was like, I think he said something along the lines of he said either Detroit or one of the Boston Celtics in 08 or 09 or whatever and He was just like, he said, OK, bet. Like, you know what I mean? Like, you five time champion. Where you keep your rings these days? And he was just like, uh, he said, LOL, uh, no comment. No comment on that. And at the time, I was like, OK, I'll keep it pushing. But then as I'm Googling Derek Fisher, because I want I kind of I kind of every time you type in Derek Fisher, surprisingly. His OKC jersey comes up like his time in OKC comes up first, which is very weird because I know this nigga is a Laker. And as I'm scrolling, as I'm scrolling, I see an article from 2017 of a nigga breaking into his house and robbing him of all five of his rings. And I was like, ⁓ this is published like this has been reported on. I was like, you asked that nigga about his five rings. That nigga genuinely doesn't know. Jax: Yeah. Greg: So sometimes Google can help. Sometimes when you ask people questions, especially when it's reporting on, man, you ask that nigga on national television where his five rings are, it won't get talked about. Your guess is good as mine. Crazy. But quickly to get back on Yannis real quick before we dive into anything else. Yeah, man. Jax: I don't know, please, can you help me find him? Greg: ⁓ shit's over. Give it up. This is worse than this is worse than when Dame was going through the shit. Don't open your mouth no more until you're treated. I don't give a damn about this. And another thing, how can give shams his respect? Y'all gonna give shams his respect, bro. How many times does shams have to keep doing something? You ought to keep doubting and denying him. When he first reported it. Mad niggas was just like, he not leaving. And then when the when he said, hey, something that the trade deadline should happen. It didn't get done. It's like he shams channel know what the fuck he talking about. Well, he can get traded, bro. Yannis is getting traded. I don't it may not end in a report. It said if not, if not before the trade deadline, by the offseason, he said that in the tweet. But because niggas heard trade deadline, I don't shame so no shit. We miss Wode's. We miss Wode's. Man, look. Jax: Every time somebody comes out and be like, ⁓ man, Sam's wrong, Sam's lying, he like proves them wrong. Like, might take like a moment or two, he'll come out with something that proves them wrong every single time and it's funny. Greg: Like, God damn! Like this shit is funny as fuck. I'm just like, all right, how many times y'all gonna keep testing this niggas gangster? He's not lying. He's not a liar. Stop calling it nigga liar. ⁓ just say you don't like him. But I'm moving on. Jax: Yeah. ⁓ Yeah, with the NBA season ⁓ ending this week, think the final game might be tonight for all the teams. Excuse me, the play. Greg: nah, we still got a few more games. We still got like three more games. Jax: I will not be watching. I will not be watching. what am gonna say? Yeah, with that being said though, most of the playoff standings are set and since the playing will happen before we record next time, let's go ahead. Greg: I'm not gonna lie, it's not said at all. These three games are important for niggas. I'm not gonna lie. East and West. Jax: away. For what? Because I know the western is set, the west is set in the east. Greg: The top two seeds are said. Jax: And what do I see? Greg: Yeah, it's only the OKC thudder and the... I'm talking from a seating perspective. Jax: I'm talking from the perspective of like who's in the play or yeah who's in the play? Yeah. Oh yeah, no, no, no. Greg: ⁓ you talking about playoffs? I'm talking about seeding. Seeding is a final watch. Jax: I'm talking about the current standings, because the playing will be happening by, it's gonna happen before the next time we record. So, I was like, let's go ahead and just at least talk about the standings. Greg: Fish off his own. Jax: So where is right? So like we said, let's start with the West, because that one's more set than the East, because the East is still doing a lot of moving around. But the top two seeds in the West, are we surprised? It's the Thunder and the Spurs, not even a little bit. But the play-in spots have been solidified. Like these teams are locked in the play-in. Greg: Absolutely. Jax: Who is it? Yeah, the Warriors. Yeah, the Warriors and Trailblazers, the Clippers and the Suns. I am very surprised that Trailblazers are even in this conversation. I'm not going to lie to you. They've been low key. think, what's his name, Thiago Splitter. He might need to go to the year vote because going through all of everything that Trailblazers have been through and getting them to the play in like that's an accomplishment in and of itself. Greg: Yeah, tune. Jax: But being realistic though... Greg: That soldier been hooping. Jax: I think the only team is, I think the Suns, I don't really think the Suns are good, but I think the Suns and the Clippers, those are gonna be the teams that make it out of the play-in. Cause the Clippers are gonna make it out because Kauai has been absolutely insane this season. And then the Suns are gonna get out because the Trailblazers and the Warriors, don't think, like I said, I don't think the Suns are good, but those teams are even worse to me. Greg: Ummm, I think... Phoenix could make it. ⁓ Damn. OK, I'll say this, depending on depending on who it is. It depends on if Golden State beats Portland. If Golden State beats Portland. Golden State can threaten a seven or eight seed just off the fact that you got Steph Curry back that that niggas gravity has been insane to watch in real time. He might be able to squeeze the Clippers out maybe or maybe even the Phoenix. Jax: Thank fair. Why you come and go to the playoffs bro? Just go chill. Go chill. Greg: Like that nigga just start amping shit up all of a sudden and now we have a first round matchup of Golden State versus OKC again. But. Realistically, it's probably going to be the Phoenix Suns and the Clippers. And I'm not mad at that, honestly. I'd rather it be the Warriors. Nah, I take it back. Kawaii's there. They got Kawaii. They got Kawaii. Their star power there. Jax: Where is it? Greg: Yeah, that's fine. But honestly, I'll say this. I'm not saying that the sons are going to beat the Spurs, but the sons do match up with the Spurs kind of well. it won't be like a blowout thing. Like I'll actually tune in and watch that. I'll watch that shit. ain't gonna hold you. Them niggas are not experienced enough to just not like ⁓ get away from like the chatter of like a Dillon Brooks. Jax: Oh hey! I don't know. Greg: Like, Wimby will get amped up off a nigga like Dillon Brooks, and then I start seeing Wimby do some shit I ain't never seen him do. I'm gonna watch it. There's gonna be a lot of highlight rules. Jax: It's gonna be crazy when the Suns knock off the Spurs and then in the offseason Spurs like, know what? Give us Giannis and trade Dylan Harper to the Bucks. It's not gonna happen, but if it does happen. Greg: That would be a crazy fumble by the fucking Spurs. I would never give a dick. Nigga, you don't know how good Dillon Harper is, nigga. I'd keep that nigga. Jax: What a beautiful but you're getting Ayanna's back. I grant this isn't happening. Greg: Nigga, nigga, you beat OKC three times this year with the roster you have. We don't have to get yandex nigga. Jax: I'm just saying they already have like they are. No, think Dylan Harper is amazing, but I'm just saying they don't like they already have they have already they already have like enough good young players. They could just be like, fuck it. Give us the honest if they want to hit if they want to press the button right now. I'm just saying that. Greg: They don't need y'allness. They don't need, they don't need Yarn is just like y'all didn't y'all niggas didn't need KD. Jax: I'm just saying, but they could press the button if they want to, just saying is all I'm gonna say. But going to the East, I think this last playing spot is still up for grabs, I believe. I couldn't, like the 10th spot, is that still up for grabs or no? Greg: Affairs. What? No, I Miami's locked in. That's like a, I mean, I'm looking at the records. I mean, are those, that's like 10 game jump, nigga. From 10 to 11. Jax: Okay, okay. Are you ready? Greg: Yeah, they're not catching on, they just... Yeah, it's fine, alright. Jax: Oh, it might be these. Okay, now it's the five. Because they all have like five, six and seven and eight all have similar records. So either of these can end up. But regardless. Greg: Yeah, Loki 9. Jax: GNI too. Greg: Yeah, five through five, five through 10, technically five through 10, three games away. No, they're competitive. They're competitive, yo. Jax: Damn, y'all suck. You're getting crazy. But, okay. But, well, since this isn't finalized, who do you think is going to end up in the play? I think the Heat are going to be comfortably a playing team because respectfully it's the Heat. And I also hope they lose because there needs to be some changes happening in the off season. It's going to happen. Greg: you Jax: It'll be easier for it to happen if the Heat lose. ⁓ The Hornets, I feel like they could end up sneaking out of the play-in. And I think the magic, you think you'll be able to out the plane. I can see. Greg: Nah, it'll be in the plan. They'll make it into a 7-0 AC. I saw how they played against the Celtics. They'll be fine. Jax: I just. I could see the Hornets winning a series. I'm not gonna lie to you. Greg: Yeah, bro, if they match up with Detroit, I like the odds. I promise you. Like they do better getting a they do better getting the AFC. Well, actually, I mean, they can't get an AFC like if they well, it just kind of depends on their next their final three games on how seating works. But they do better getting that AFC than trying to go for that seven seat. Get that AFC, go against Detroit. Y'all match up well with them. Boston, it still be like competitive, but it'll be like the Atlanta Hawks. Competitive where you win two games and y'all losing six, but y'all never really had a chance to begin with you know But y'all can really knock off Detroit if y'all want to I think Kate Cunningham comes back tonight surprisingly Or yesterday my bad. ⁓ Still won't be enough to get that 65 games. That's still crazy. ⁓ That sucks, but yeah Jax: Yeah. Nah, he came back yesterday. Yeah. It's still what you're on plus 23. I don't trick me say my magic Greg: Mm. Yeah, so we got, yeah, we got the hornet. Yeah, honestly. People are not talking enough about Philly falling out by accident or Orlando falling off by accident. Those are niggas that are in the plan right now. And literally last week, Orlando Magic was at the 10th seed. Orlando Magic was at the 10th seed literally last week. They just ended up winning a couple games. They could. Jax: Bro, I don't get why the back is so bad. Greg: I don't know, man. I literally don't know. I can't even answer that. Jax: Like the six years it makes sense because Embiid is going through things. When he plays he's great but he hasn't played that much. So I get the six years but like the magic. Greg: And Paul George was out for 25 and on holes too. Jax: But that helped Paul George. Paul George is fresh now. He might go crazy in the playoffs. Greg: Yeah, you right. Yeah, you got a point. But yeah, don't understand them at all. But it's not for me to understand. But if I had to choose somebody that could get knocked out of the plan, I would for sure say Philly. Jax: That's weird. Greg: Philly and Miami. Yeah, Philly and Miami. Those are my two. Jax: I need the heat to, I just need the heat not in the, the heat can make the playing, I just need the not in the playoffs bro, because if band needs to be moved this off season, preferably to the Rockets, but we'll get there when we go. We'll cross that bridge when we get there, Greg. Don't worry. We'll get it figured out. He's Nigerian. There's a lot of Nigerians in Houston. It'll get figured out, trust me. It'll get figured out. Greg: Idris! ⁓ Jax: But I do think it's that time. Greg: It was about that time. you Jax, do you have a hot take for it? Jax: I believe I do in fact. Let me see. All right. My hot take is that it's really especially because we're just sort of talking about college sports and the transfer thing earlier. But like, I understand it's about player empowerment and blah, blah, blah. But like. transfer portal I'm not gonna lie because I feel like for players that are transferring every single year I feel like if you're really good you wouldn't need to do that I think schools need to focus I don't like transport because I feel like you should focus more on your education because you're one of those players that have to transfer every single year like you probably won't make it in whatever league it be whether it be the NFL or the NBA so like You should stay at one school and focus on your education before you transfer. That's why don't like the transfer portal. think you should stay. If you have to transfer every single year, I don't think you're going to make it in whatever league you're trying, which sounds terrible, but still. So just find that school, care about that degree, and yeah, that's my hot say. The transfer portal, you got to keep doing it. It's really not meant for you. Greg: Transfer Portal is for real bag chasers. That's what it's made for. You know you're not making that league. So you trying to get, highest bidder, highest earner, highest nigga that's putting that bread up, that's where I'm going. Do I agree? No, because I do think that, ⁓ you know, chemistry should be built within your organization and whatever, and you only become a better player when you do that. if we're being honest, we don't glorify anybody that does that. For real, for real. The only, people that we talk about from a college football perspective ⁓ are your one year wonders of like, even though you're not a one and done in college, we talk about like the one year you spent. and did some crazy shit. We talk about Cam Newton and he went to Auburn that one year and won an Addy. Same for Joe Burrow, transferred from Ohio State to LSU and won that shit all, you know, won that shit big. We don't really talk about ⁓ a nigga that stayed for four, five years, like a Stetson Bennett or Will Howard. ⁓ Jax: Now, Wilhauer transferred, didn't he? He transferred a good time. Greg: Oh, well, I mean, I kind of forgot about Will Howard. Oh, no, no. Will Howard had a little story. My bad. He went to community college, I think, right? Little bit. I don't know. You he didn't move. He didn't move school. He moved schools. Oh, shit. Even like a CJ Strout. Like you just don't see a lot of like, OK, like we stayed all four years at this one university. It doesn't even get glorified. Oh, the what? That's the last. What's the last Heisman? Who on the Heisman? Fernando? Jax: I don't know, but know he in Louis schools at least once. I don't know where. Yeah. Yeah. Each other's Greg: Fernando was a transfer to right. mean, get it. You know, I missed the Tim Tebow days. I get it. You know, I used to fuck with the Johnny Menzel's and all that shit. But. Real bag chasers are bag chasing. I can't hate a nigga for bag chasing. Like I said, it's a bigger issue. It's the NIL, nigga. Niggas not portal jumping because I just, I mean, there probably are, but like for the most part, most niggas are not portal jumping talking about some, I can't stand this coach. I don't care how much money they giving me. Jax: I don't know man. Greg: I can't stand this coach. I'll push the money away and I'll go to another school. What's really going on is, hey, they told me I was going to get this kind of money. This money not really adding up to my expectations that I thought it was going somewhere else. And on top of that, I don't fuck with this coach. On top of not fucking with this coach, I'm not getting paid like I thought I was. It reminds me of that, what's the NC, not NC State. that Las Vegas college football team, the Rebels, quarters just like, hey, they told me this. I didn't get it. I'm fucking. Well, that sounds like to me, that sounds like a bagchaser. That sounds like a bagchaser trying to get to the body because he knows he's not going to the league. That nigga from from Las Vegas knew he wasn't going to the league. So every dime counts. Every penny counts. These credits are transferable. Jax: ⁓ I forgot. Yeah. Greg: That money is not. Go get that bread, young man. Jax: I know. I feel like a lot of them aren't even making that bread like that to justify it. And then a lot of that bread will dry up very fast once they get out of college. And then they won't have anything for real. Because they've had to take like, their degrees got, they got a degree in underwater basket weaving because it was the only class that was transferable, all their credits and everything. That's why. Greg: fair? Jax: That's why I'm just like, man, if you're one of those players transferring every year, you know you're not gonna make it. just, you should've just stayed somewhere and got your degree. But yeah, that's my hot take though. Greg: Or at least invest in getting a smart wife. A smart wife that knows how to handle finances. So it's like, okay, can, that you can trust and be like, okay, I got $400,000. How can we maximize this? Because a lot of niggas don't come out of college with 400 grand after walking that stage. So you're already on top. Like you already ahead of the average nigga. ⁓ Jax: Yeah. Greg: You should not be able to fumble that. Unless you're going to Sakai in Houston or some bullshit. Weird shit. All right. Real quick. My hot take. promise this will be the last time I speak on sports media consecutively as a hot take. ⁓ I think I think daily when it comes to sports shows. ⁓ Daily sports shows should not be daily anymore. ⁓ They should not be on TV every day. get why they're on TV every day because money rules everything around us. You know what mean. But. Specifically, it goes back to that Max Kellerman tweet or that Max Kellerman interview where he's just like, you have to be an insane nigga to come up with a hot take every single day. You know why? You know why is a bad idea to have a daily sports show that has controversial opinions because you run you run into shit like Dan Orlovsky. Jax: Thank Greg: you run into shit where it's just like now you're just speculating on shit with no facts instead of letting things brew. Some of y'all really need a weekly podcast, a weekly show and every other week show something that can if you're good at it, if you're really good at what you are good at, niggas will be looking forward to you dropping on a Friday, dropping on a Thursday. There's an anticipation of things, you know, building up over time. Where it's like, OK, like, OK, I can't wait for him to touch on something that happened on Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday. You're just grabbing information that you can have a more interesting show at the end of the week ⁓ versus trying to find something to talk about every single day. Jax, there are times, well Jax knows, there are times on this podcast. We are we record on Friday. Nigga, it's Thursday and we're texting each other. They go, what the fuck are we? What are we going to talk about? And we've had seven days and it's like we're not low key pulling things out of ass. This is a dry week. Imagine if we had to do this shit every single day. At some point, Jackson's going to say something out of pocket just off the strength just to make conversation that wouldn't. So, yes, I think we've we've moved past the point of. Jax: Hahaha Greg: making daily shows, the driving force of media, unless you're just reporting news. If you're news reporting, if you're a sports center or whatever, just alerting us on what is going on. The news happens every day. That's different. But having a controversial opinion, having a show like First Take, Get Up, whatever the case may be. To talk about your opinions on stuff every day. I think we got to cut that out. I think it's time to move past that. ⁓ we're done. We're done with that. I'm on my cowl cow herd. You know what mean? Stephen A. We're good. We got B him. We're good. We got. But that's my heart to get rid of these daily shows, man. It's not working. Y'all would get more views and more people talking about your show if you would just wait. Shit, even if even every other day, even once every three days, instead of doing it every day. Jax: LeBron, we're good. Hahaha And it probably, it'd be easier on the hosts too, because they don't got to go over these crazy opinions every single day. Greg: Ew! I'm saying you save you save stuff like a daily thing for like the playoffs or post seasons or you know when you when you know them first round gonna have like a you know, you know everything but During a spot like this. That's only so much to talk about or shorten your show You should still two hours a Two hours show every day Come on Jax: Yeah. It's gonna be on multiple shows? No. It's not. It's not that serious. Greg: And I was like, what the fuck are we talking about? That's my heart's sake. At least cut that bitch down to 30 minutes. Make that bitch a 30 minute show. With a couple commercial breaks. You'll be all right. But yeah, that's it for me. That's all I got. But next, last words? Jax: You know, weather is getting a little warm and everything. So go outside, go touch some grass. Actually, it was sort of cold last night, but still, go outside, go touch some grass. Greg: I went jogging yesterday. I thought I was trying to beat the rain. I saw some white shit fall off the ground. I said, I know there's no. I know there's no in April. Hey, bitch ass nigga, I took my degree to I was like, it's 41 degrees. No way. It's no way. It was indeed snow. It was just melting on the ground. It was it would just melt as soon as it touched the ground because the ground was too hot to hold it. It's like, ⁓ my God. Get me out of this bitch. ⁓ my God. I can't take it no more. So touch some grass. ⁓ because you some of y'all some of y'all don't know how blessed y'all are to see some grass ⁓ every day. And. ⁓ Like we always say, continue to like, comment, subscribe. TikToks are booming. ⁓ I dropped that boat next video. These niggas is not all right. You know when you start seeing a lot of comments, I yeah, them niggas don't like what we You know, sometimes I'll see like, you know, two, three comments, four. I looted that bitch today. Jax: Hahaha! Greg: Shit, 45. Wow. All right. I ain't looked at him yet, on both platforms, YouTube. Ah shit. Fuck. I forgot to drop it on Instagram. I'm tripping. I dropped it. I'm going to drop it today. But without further ado, like we said before, just because you give us an idea, that doesn't mean we will partake. That won't mean we will do it, but we will keep it in consideration. And without further ado. Jax: We're Greg: We will catch y'all next week.
