• Greg: ⁓ Welcome back to another episode of the Play for Keats podcast. The only podcast where we do something different. The only podcast where we boycott Love Island while watching Love Island. You know what I mean? You don't know another podcast that that that that disenfranchises a franchise while still watching that said franchise. You can't do it like us. Jaxon: You This is the worst of everything. This is the worst of everything. Greg: Are we the problem? Yes. Will we stop watching? No. Jaxon: Yes. I mean like, well I the show's gonna be over. So yes, we will stop watching, because it's gonna be over. Greg: But we won't boycott these next you not boycotting tonight. It's a vo i it's a vo we're gonna find out who get eliminated. We're gonna find out who in the top f in the top four. Jaxon: I feel like I already know who's gonna get eliminated, so. Greg: But there's an inkling there's an inkling where you're like, ⁓ Jaxon: Now I already know who the top four is. Greg: Nah, nah, but like I I have a feeling that you're wrong. Nah, like, nah, like I I feel like you're wrong. Jaxon: No, I'm not wrong, actually. Greg: I I I feel like I feel like black people have have been rallying up. Jaxon: you No, no, they're gonna, them two, they're gonna be in the top four, but the one that's leaving is freaking. Greg: ⁓ okay, baby. We're on the same page. Zach and Cater and Kenzie. Jaxon: Yeah, they're leaving because they look like they did like a little preview and they looked like they were sad. So they look like they were leaving. And then, yeah, like they're gonna leave because nobody likes them. That's as simple as easy. Greg: McKinsey. Fair. Absolutely. But this is a podcast for casuals. You are a casual, this is the show for you. Love modeling and sports, where do you get that at? You can't get the best of both worlds, even though we're not talking about that show today. Jaxon: Yeah. Greg: A dialogue will be had. Not today. But it will be. ⁓ but let's go ahead. We do have some things to talk about, but first and foremost, donations. Donations. The bread up. Here comes the money. Here we go. Money talks. Here comes the money. Support us. Jaxon: I've never heard that full song. I don't even actually know what song that is. I don't know where that even from. I'm not gonna lie to you. Greg: It it was It was Jaxon: I've heard it for like two years. don't know where, I have no idea where that's from. I'm not even gonna lie to you. Greg: It's from ⁓ it's it's ⁓ it's WWE so like you know how they all have entrances? Jaxon: Yeah, that's a WV. I thought that was like Will Smith or something. Greg: Like when you walk out No, no, no, no, no, no. That that's somebody's in like WWE entrance. It was actually, ⁓ if we wanna go deeper to the lore, ⁓ it was actually Shane McMahon's ⁓ entrance. ⁓ Vince ⁓ Vince McMahon's ⁓ son. Jaxon: And that's him saying that? Greg: No, but like that's the music that comes out in the background. I have no clue who that is. Jaxon: ⁓ who's saying that? ⁓ I thought that was like movie or something he was in. That's what I've been thinking. Okay. Yeah. Greg: Nah. Actually actually it could be a movie is from, but like it was yeah, it w it happened at WWE and like he was just he was a bad wrestler. didn't have no muscles. He was just there to like show off money. Really, like he he Jaxon: You know I don't know nothing about no race. So I was like, I have no idea. Fair enough, man, what else? Greg: And I was just, you know, at the time I was like, man, I don't like you. But it slaps. The whole, the whole song, when that beat drop, I'm like, okay, I see, I see the vision. But besides that, ⁓ don't let Shane McMahon distract you from donating to some real niggas. You know what I mean? A real black business, real black entrepreneurs. ⁓ but let's go ahead and cleanse out. Jaxon: Fair enough. Greg: And ⁓ put a real black voice on on the man. We do not care. Mike Tomlin. We do not care. We do not care. First thing we do not care about. on with the 49ers? Something going on with the Bay Jaxon: apparently like well I'm pretty sure we've talked I know we've talked about it like one-on-one I'm pretty sure we've mentioned a little bit on the podcast about how that 49ers their practice facility is next to like an electrical substation or whatever and people because of that like 49ers are also like probably the most Them and the Ravens are probably the two most injured teams in the NFL year after year. And people have been saying like, you know, these electrical grids next to it and all these different radiations in the EMF and blah, blah, blah. This is why the 49ers players are getting injured. And now, you know, free agents and other 49ers players are actually starting to believe that. And initially the owner of the 92 was like, man, this is all fake. We don't care. We're not going to move anything. Y'all just need to shut up. But now it sounds like they're like, you know, more than willing and more than open to building a new practice facility in a new location. And I just want to say, if they actually do follow through with that and they also get less and less injured, that's going to be very funny. But. don't think it's gonna affect how much they get injured, I'm not gonna lie. I think it's just a minus, I think they just cursed a little bit. Greg: ⁓ it's football, so you're gonna get injured regardless. Jaxon: Everybody's gonna get hurt. Greg: How much can I really care, man? I I just I That's why we that's what we have on the list. We do not care. We don't care. Other things we do not care about. Infidelity. Don't give a fuck about that. But ⁓ shout out to the Spurs announcer, Toby, for cheating on his girlfriend of six years. And his girlfriend had the great idea to say, you know what? I'm gonna expose you. Expose you on the internet. I'm gonna let the whole world know that you're just one of them ones, one of them ones that cheat, as I share my screen. San Antonio Spurs broadcast. ⁓ I called a nigga. ⁓ his last name is Toby. Jacob Toby is out. Jaxon: That's much better. Toby's a tough name to have. Why would you go by Toby in this day and age? But Jacob Toby is better. Greg: Yeah, yeah. And are you Jake? Jacob Toby is out as a sports broadcaster after his girlfriend of six years accused him of cheating on her with the sister of Spurs player Lindy Walters the third. This was posted on Instagram. This is my girlfriend of six years, but I cheated on her with Lauren Waters. ⁓ added her name. Damn. So feel free to continue following me if you really think I'm a good guy because I'm not. ⁓ first and foremost, I need to know how old Jacob Toby is. Jaxon: You don't look old. Greg: He doesn't look old for sure. ⁓ but six years, that tells me everything I need to know. That woman was ready to get married. That woman was ready. That woman was ready to get married. And he was probably pushing it off. And she was like, why not? Why are you not? You got the money now. What's going on? This is what's going on. ⁓ people are trying to compare this, ⁓ especially at my job, to Mike Vrabel. Jaxon: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Greg: I say no and I say calm down. ⁓ first of all, they're married. There's levels. Second of all, you didn't lead your team to the Super Bowl. There are levels. There are levels. I would have respected it more if you compared them to Tony Parker, even though there are levels to that too. Jaxon: Maybe. you Tony Parker was, I feel like Tony Parker was much worse. That was his teammate. Greg: Much worse, much worse. I'm saying like I'm sa what I'm saying is his whatever he got going on, I feel like he got overcharged. I feel like we didn't need all this. He didn't need to get fired from his job. Jaxon: That is the, I'm surprised. Well, I don't know if I haven't been on Instagram, I haven't followed his account. So I don't know like, I guess he probably does post a lot of Spurs content as far as like, cause he is like an announcer, like the local announcer. So maybe his account is filled with a whole bunch of Spurs stuff and like that's. having that honest story is like unbecoming and all that, but like getting fired for that, I'm not, I do agree that getting fired for that is like, stop cheating 100,000%. But I'm surprised they fired him for it. That's, yeah, I don't know. Like that's surprising. Greg: Damn Sam, like they was treating this shit like Ime Yudoka and it was just like it was just like okay. And and he had like no position of power, so like Jaxon: Yeah. that so that why did they I don't know why did they fire maybe Greg: Yeah. Like it's not like a Sharon Moore incident where it's like, okay, like there's like a power imbalance. If anything, the person that he was dealing with probably has a little bit more power than them. ⁓ dealing that, you know, you're dealing with a player's sister or some shit like that, but Jaxon: But also that player is a backup player. he's no, that player don't be getting in, so. Greg: Yeah, that nigga can be waived tomorrow and nobody will bat an eye. Jaxon: He used to play for the Thunder. Greg: ⁓ didn't know that. I was like, I've never heard of this. I was like I said, I do not know ball. ⁓ Jaxon: That's how I know who he is. That's how I've heard the name Wendy Wallace before. I love his shit. Yeah, he used to play for OKC. He's like one of the only Native American players in the NBA. Greg: Yeah, I was initially clowning this at the time, ⁓ when it was sent to me, 'cause I was just like, women not women don't be really getting like the the gotchas that they they think they get when they do stuff like this. Then the nigga then he got fired and I was like, Whoa, she kinda cooked. He got exactly what she wanted out that. I I must apologize. I'm familiar with her game. I'm familiar with her game. ⁓ prayers up to that young man. You'll bounce back, you seem young enough. Jaxon: Yes. You know, I would say. Greg: I'm sure with a good lawyer, he can he can he can figure this out. Cause that was kind of crazy. That's that's actually kind of crazy. But of course I don't care. We do not care. Don't care. Real quick, last but certainly not least, OJ Simpson will not be a part of the new wall of fame for the Buffalo Bills. ⁓ for the Buffalo Bills news stadium that's supposed to Jaxon: in the growth. Greg: open up opening night ⁓ this season, they decided, hey, ⁓ we're we're gonna leave him out. A PR decision. I think quote unquote, they're just trying to move past it. Jack's your initial reaction to hearing such news d Jaxon: That's disrespect. That's disrespect. He was the first player in NFL history to run for 2000 yards ever. You know, he ran for 2000 yards in 14 games. No one's ever done that. Like, he did, they, why would you take him out to, I don't know what he didn't do. The only crime he committed was he tried to rob some guys to get his husband back and he went to jail for it. He didn't. Greg: Absolutely. Absolutely. A successful Terry and Arnold, you know what I mean? Jaxon: Yeah, he didn't do anything else. Like, the glove didn't fit. They acquitted him. So I'm confused. I'm confused. Greg: You're confused. You know, I'm confused. One thing I will the silver lining in this for me, I can respect that you waited till the nigga died. You know what I mean? Let him live out his glory. You know what I mean? Let him feel appreciated while he's on this earth. Give people their flowers. Jaxon: I don't think you can appreciate it. I don't think you can appreciate it. Greg: Give people their flowers while they still here. Let records still stay. And if they fall after you die, hey, look. Is what it is. ⁓ I don't condone it. Jaxon: He was on that show with Cameron and Mace, right? I wanna know if they said anything about that. I wanna know if they said anything. Greg: Yeah. I wonder. I wonder. Yeah, because he was he was like a like an unofficial like third member. Like they treated him like ⁓ Yeah, he was kind of like how Joe ⁓ Joe Johnson is for like Chat ⁓ Shannon Sharp and Well like he's an official member now and I feel like OJ was on his way had he not, you know, passed passed away. Jaxon: You're gonna do it a lot, I think Joe, I think Joe Johnson actually on that show now for real. Okay. Thank I Greg: un unfortunately died. ⁓ some might some might say unfort ⁓ fortunately, but it it kinda depends on how you view that man. Jaxon: He died two years ago? I don't know. I don't know that well. Greg: Damn. It's been two years? Wow. Did I I did I didn't I didn't know. I didn't know. Jaxon: Exactly! ⁓ He died in April of 2024. I did not realize that. Greg: Damn. That's actually kind of crazy. Jaxon: And also he was six foot three? I didn't know that either. Greg: A six foot three running back? Jesus. That's scary. Yeah. Someone was like, We gotta start having uncomfortable conversations about OJ. I I think they've all been uncomfortable. I don't think it's ever been a comfortable conversation with this nigga. I'm not gonna lie. Post 94. Nah, that's fucking crazy. But ⁓ that's enough of the we do die cares. ⁓ also, y'all keep your eye out. Y'all keep your eye ⁓ eye out on Mitch McConnell. Just just keep an eye out. We're not even gonna address it. Just keep your eyes out. Keep your ears open. Jaxon: That's the 90s, bro Bro, niggas is scary. Bro, where is it? That's all I'm Greg: Keep your eyes open, ears open. It d you know, we just just in case, just in case. Jaxon: They say he got wheeled to ⁓ a, there was like pictures of him getting wheeled to the hospital this morning. I'm like, he's already, he's been dead for like a week, bro. Let's, let's, why are we still playing? Greg: Some some niggas say y'all gonna be looking stupid when he come back out here with a BBL. Jaxon: you Greg: That's actually kinda crazy. Don't you ever put no bullshit on that nigga like that? That's crazy. Getting stuck with a BBL sounds crazy. Jaxon: you at what 80 something? Greg: Watching it. Watching this nigga freeze? All right, all right, man. All right. Let's get back. Let's get into the topics that we were supposed to ⁓ you know, we do care about. ⁓ the World Cup, USA loss. Whoop deal. Ooh, you know what I mean? Y'all got us. ⁓ not only did we lose, we lost in terrible fashion. Got our ass clapped 4-1 by Belgium. This is the same team that beat us last time. Last time we were ever. qualify for the World Cup. They beat us. So we beat ⁓ you know, we get beat twice. ⁓ yeah, USA not good. Nigga suck. Jaxon: Have you seen all the talk about why the US isn't good at soccer? Greg: I've been seeing lot of theories here and there, but I mean ultimately n everybody everybody's coming up for to me, I feel like everybody's coming to the same conclusions is that there's just more popular sports here. Like there's just more sports that are, you know, popular in the US. Like people talk about ⁓ I forgot. There was this nigga in Norway. I think his name is ⁓ Halen or Haland. Jaxon: I like you. Greg: And niggas was just like, yeah, y'all need a nigga like Christian Haaland. And y'all like, that's the that's the type of nigga that would, you know, thrive in the US or whatever. I was like, nigga, if he was born in the US, that would be a all nigga, that is an all pro tight end, nigga. Like, what are you talking about? And I saw some Jaxon: He's George, that's George Kuhn. Like, that's George Kuhn. Yeah, that's George Killing or like Julio Jones or something like that. Greg: Yeah, like nigga, especially the money that's being made today. Hell, I see that nigga play baseball. I would see that nigga play baseball. ⁓ something crazy. With the motor that he has. I I don't I saw a woman, and I'm not just antagonizing her, but she was just like, I mean, like, it's crazy that, you know, the men's team is just not good. Jaxon: Do you have Aaron's hair? Greg: But the women team be winning mad World Cup. So I'm just like, Well, Title nine. Title nine, nigga. I mean, respectfully like N name name me a a woman sport that's making buku bread. I think a lot of women are like under W WNBA are finally starting to get to that pinnacle. Yeah. But yeah, but if you have if there's not a lot of career options for women when it comes to professional ⁓ athletes, ⁓ and everything is kind of like equal level when it comes to playing ⁓ or to pay, yeah, a lot of these women is is Jaxon: But even then it's still nowhere. They won't touch the NBA money no time soon, I feel like. Greg: playing for the love of game. So they're gonna naturally go to like what their strong suit is instead of what's making them money. ⁓ there's plenty of you know there there's probably plenty of football players that would probably be better basketball players, but they just they are plenty bait are plenty baseball ⁓ that's a bad example. There's plenty of probably yeah probably plenty plenty of baseball players. Yeah there's plenty of baseball players that might be good at football Jaxon: ⁓ I think it'd probably playing basketball players would be good at football. Greg: Or basketball, but they know where that money's at. They're gonna go they're gonna go where money's at. ⁓ Yeah. You know. It i it do get like that. You I know they were talking about ⁓ Christian Polisic or Pulsic, I forgot his name. I guess it's like our best player, but apparently he left ⁓ the game due to injury. I think he tweaked his ankle, something happened. I already sprained his ankle and niggas was just like Why didn't he fight through that? Jaxon: Unless you're Kyle and Murray. Or Russell Wilson. Greg: ⁓ really calling him a bitch ass nigga for real. ⁓ you you you rest you rest in the off season you rest when your career's over, whatever. And ⁓ you know, unfortunately I have to agree. Not not to the defend anybody, but it's just like damn like Jaxon: Really like I've been watching as a soccer aficionado and expert for the past, you know, 17 days. I don't think, think I only, one, I don't think he's the best player for real. And two, I've seen, like I said, I've a lot of the stuff I've been hearing and seeing about why like the U.S. isn't good at soccer is cause like people are saying, ⁓ it's, it's too expensive now for like. ⁓ Greg: Absolutely. Jaxon: for like the average Joe, lot of, because keep to mean like football, a lot of the good players are from quote unquote trenches are not from like good background. Same with a lot of basketball players and like soccer in the U S it's all like to, you got to have like these $5,000 and whatever to play for the travel teams and stuff like that. And you need all this equipment and all these fees and blah, blah, blah. And only like. the upper echelon of like the rich kids can do that when all the as you can see from the World Cup everybody who's actually good at soccer does not does not look like you know Everybody's guess talking the World Cup is black for the most part. That's it. So that's why I feel like that's a lot of the reason Greg: I feel like that's a cop out for the US. Like for the US specifically, bringing up that money talk, ⁓ I feel like it's a cop out in my opinion, 'cause ⁓ hot Jaxon: I don't think that there are other countries don't do it like that. Other countries, everybody plays and it's all like, sub-dubbed. Greg: Yeah, that's that's that's true. That's true and all, but like hockey is fucking expens like hockey is expensive as fuck. We st we still and in the US don't nobody give a fuck about soccer like that. Jaxon: But nobody cared about hockey for real. People care more about soccer than they do hockey. Greg: But we do better in hockey than we do in soccer. Jaxon: especially in the US because it's a soccer or not soccer, but hockey is like an American sport, I feel like. Greg: I don't know what it is actually 'cause I feel like Canadians run this shit. Maybe it's a North American sport. But I mean Jaxon: Shit, American, can he's American again? Where the fuck is hockey from? Greg: I d I have no clue where Augie's from. Jaxon: I'm from the Google doesn't even move on because we've been on the tool ⁓ Greg: Yeah, types of Jaxon: Canada, Montreal, that makes sense. Greg: Yeah, so I mean I I get it, but I mean I think I think we can I think we can start small and work our way up. Like I feel like we can start small and be like, hey, ⁓ put put some put some more fucking goals out in these goddamn streets. Y'all if y'all wanna if y'all wanna push it so much. There's a basketball court on every part. Add add a n add a net, nigga. A add a net to shit. Jaxon: No, what, what's his name? That's what Mom Donnie did in New York. He did like a new law. So now there's like a 24 hour soccer. It's not court. What is it called? Soccer field, soccer pitches or whatever. There's that now in New York. Greg: Yeah. Yeah, for sure. That n Mom don't even been on a roll, so I I I give it to him, but Yeah. I i if the US knows what the fuck to do if they wanna excel in sports. Like any sport that that they wanna compete in for real, for real, they have the resources to figure this shit out. ⁓ to get the your best athletes to do what they need to do. Jaxon: But will they? Greg: You know why? You know why? We do not care. We don't fucking care. We'll see y'all niggas in another four years. ⁓ fan festival was lit though. Fan festival was was lit. For sure. For sure. Now, next, Jaxon: As we lose an embarrassing fashion again. Greg: Brandon Ayu. getting a little weird. ⁓ Jaxon: Know what's wrong with him. I don't think any well I don't think he knows what's wrong. I don't think anybody knows what's wrong with him, but Brandon Ayuk had all of one good season and then lost his ever-loving mind. He got hurt or whatever. Like he had one good season. Was it 2023 or 2024? I can't exactly remember, but he had that one crazy season. Then the following season he got hurt. And Greg: Yeah, yeah. Jaxon: Now he's just on social media crying. Not even crow crying, yes, but just I don't even know what you say. He's just ⁓ I'm just playing the video. Cause he's just on social media. He's just being weird. So I just gotta play the video. You can see my screen, right? Alright, so this is just he's released like multiple videos every single day. I think he dropped another one today. This just this is just on his Instagram story, but this is one of the videos. Brother, this is exactly why you're not getting another job in the NFL. Now, he's made other videos this time. This whole time he's he play he's currently with the 49ers, technically, but he wants to go and play with the Washington Commanders because him and Jaden Daniels were best friends, and these are the type of videos he's been sending Jaden Daniels. Greg: Yeah, that's crazy. Jaxon: Like a lot of his beef seems to be stemming from he got hurt while playing with the 49ers a season ago or maybe a couple seasons ago. And he they say he didn't go through his proper rehab. And because of that, he never like healed properly. This is all what the Niners are saying. And he's obviously disputing that, saying, ⁓ I'm healthy, ⁓ I'm doing this, I'm doing that. And it's just been going back and forth. And now he's on social media saying, no, I will never play for the 49ers again. I'm never going to the facility again. I'm never doing this. I'm never doing that. And it's like, if he wants to play it, and they're also the 49ers, because of that, they're just like, okay, since you're not honoring your contract, you're not playing. We're just not going to pay you because we don't have to pay you because you're doing all this shit. And that seems to be his issue, but it just. For him to get reinstated and play again in the NFL, he has to file like paperwork and all these other things. And he's the like I said, he's posted multiple videos like this on social media. I think one video maybe two or three days ago, he said, No, I'm not filing, I'm not going to the Forty Niners, I'm not filing any paperwork with them, I'm never doing business with them again. And it's just like If you want to play in the NFL, that's literally the first step you have to do to get back to everything so you can get your money again. But he's just adamant on not doing that. And instead just going to social media and lashing out and yelling. And the thing is, like, Antonio Brown, he did this, and he was able to do that for a little bit because, like, he's Antonio Brown, one of the literal, what, top five receivers ever. Brandon, are you you had one good season and you're acting like this, like this is and also the 49ers are successful without you. The commanders were successful without you. Like nobody needs you for real. And you're acting like that. Like you're you're not going to get signed again. Like you've probably played your last down in the NFL. And he's not even old. He's probably like 29 or something. Greg: Yeah, I think he's our age. It's it's pretty bad. It's it's pretty bad. ⁓ Jaxon: Yeah, he tw he's twenty eight. Yeah, he is our age. Greg: Yeah, B B A B A spell backwards is A B. ⁓ But A B didn't B A d I mean, ⁓ what you talk about? A B didn't leave like a hundred million on the table. He may have, you know, fucked around, messed over like ten mil, five mil, but that's after he hadn't already secured a big ass bag. And a lot of people, you know, sometimes they give them a crutch when when they bring this up. They always go back to that Vontez birth kit and be like, ⁓ this is where it all this is where it all went down from here. And I'm not excusing A B's actions, but it it helps when we can tra you know, trace it back to one crazy event. ⁓ Brandon, I you Jaxon: Yeah. Okay. Greg: We don't know when this happened. Like we don't we don't know why you acting like this. Some some some are almost you know they're they're they're kind of on the brinks of calling this performative. Like, ⁓ this really not true for real. You're not crazy for real. Jaxon: Nobody knows why you're acting like this. Everybody's confused. Everyone is confused. If it is performing, it's a bad performance. Greg: I'm just I don't get it. I think my line, or I mean I've been ⁓ it's been I've been over this shit when he fucked over my ⁓ my fantasy football league like two or three seasons ago. I took that nigga thinking he was in the right mindset. Fuck me over. But after that great season, but I'll say that ⁓ moving forward, it just kept getting worse. Jaxon: Ha ha Greg: And people just stopped defending him and then once he started talking about Jane Daniels ⁓ and his mama, I was like, ⁓ you're not playing another down. You talking to a nigga like that that was advocating for you? That's how you talk to your best friend. Don't you ever befriend me, nigga. Don't you ever defend me. Don't you ever befriend me, bitch ass nigga. That's how you talking to people? No. I don't need friends like that. Jaxon: Who s who you say is your best friend? And you talk about his mom? Hmm. You know, with friends Brenda, I who needs enemies? Greg: I don't I don't need a receiver like that either. I didn't I didn't know ACL ACL tears contributed to CTE. I didn't know there was a correlation. Jaxon: I really do want to know what happened exactly, but I don't think we'll we'll never know. We will never know. 'Cause it wasn't even like he took no crazy hit or whatever. It's just he tore his ACL and MCL and then he just Greg: Well don't we won't. Tweet out. Jaxon: Yeah. I don't know, it's I don't know. I have no idea what's going on with Brenda. But maybe he'll get together, he won't, but ⁓ whatever. Greg: Yeah. Yeah, he won't. It's over. Yeah, it's over. Jaxon: I had a good run, I hope. I don't know. And he was in l like he was in line for a big contract too. Like that's the thing. Like he really did leave like damn near a hundred million on the table. Greg: Them niggas don't have no receivers over there in in San Fran. You was gonna be that nigga. They got Redebo, even though he's like a running back hybrid type shit. But like they didn't have anybody. They got Kristen McCaffee playing running back and wide receiver. You would have been, they would have paid you, nigga. Jaxon: Yeah. I'm looking at I'm looking at his career early right. He's made sixty million so far in his work. As far as his contract I don't know if he's been 'cause I I don't think he got paid last year because he just refused to come in. But he's made sixty million for his career is what it says so far. Like you could have made so much like that's that's a a whole lot of money for sure, one hundred percent. You could have added a hundred million on top of that with a new contract, literally. So I don't I'm like, fumbling the bag in this way is I don't get it. I don't get it. Greg: Fumbling in the bag and acting like you didn't fumble the bag is where you're losing me. Take some accountability. Take some accountability, you digger. Jaxon: Yeah, like Fumily fumbling the bag and then acting like everybody else is in the wrong when we can see like we're watching video evidence of you in the wrong. I don't get it. Greg: It's not even a sense. It's like ⁓ what like with A B, it felt like at least when he fumbled his small bag, he came in this bitch acting like, these niggas, these niggas doing me dirty, bro. Like we, they, they, they robbing me, low key. Like they they know my talents. This nigga not even acknowledging, like, he acting like there's nothing happening. This nigga, Brandon IU. He not even addressing it. Jaxon: And the thing with A B, like, A B was old when he was doing this and he still came back and played and helped niggas win the Super Bowl. Greg: And won a sewer bowl, nigga. That nigga cold. ⁓ my god. Jaxon: If he didn't lose his mind, bro, he's being Hall of Fame right now. Greg: Nigga, even if he did lose his mind, all he had to do was just keep his pads on. He would have been a file of favor, nigga. Jaxon: ⁓ He might still end up in if A B like he's not going to, but if A B can just somehow like Greg: Let the right let the right committee let the right committee have him. He might be dead it he might be dead and gone. Jaxon: If he could just like chill for a couple of years If he could chill for a couple of years and just be normal, maybe do a couple of podcast appearances where you seem like apologetic and stuff, he's gonna get into the Hall of Fame. But he's not gonna do that 'cause he's I don't fucking know. Yeah. Greg: ⁓ for sure. He just put that shit on. Yeah, man. I have no words for for a nigga like this. ⁓ get ready to learn Brandon Soresby. That's all I have for you. Jaxon: Okay. Yeah, well let's let's let's go to the NBA for a little bit 'cause it's there's some things happening. ⁓ Mark Cuban, former owner of the Dallas Mavericks, who probab I feel like you think he's probably the most famous NBA or he's not the owner no more, but you think he's probably the most well known NBA owner? Greg: ⁓ from a positive standpoint, yeah, for sure. 'cause we there's there's list. And and they're all in LA. They're all in LA, nigga. Bomber. The nigga before Bomber. Jaxon: Yeah, so But Greg: Hey, hey, hey, that hey, that nigga dun that nigga dunden right up there too. He he getting up there. Jaxon: But ⁓ Mark Cuban, former owner of the Mavericks, he is now suing the current owners of the Mavericks, ⁓ Patrick Dumont, I believe is his name. ⁓ because he said Dum Dumont has violated a handshake agreement that they had. And to that I say, like, Loki, it's sort of your fault for a handshake agreement. Is not you need like Mark Cuban, you're a billionaire. You you're supposed to get shit in writing. So like, come on, bro, be for real. But The whole like the whole argument and everything come from ⁓ Cuban and Dumont. They agreed on terms of the sale to the Mavericks back in ⁓ February 2023. And they like made a handshake on it to agree. And the whole thing was that Cuban, he'd retain authority over the Mavericks basketball operations while Patrick Dumont, he'd oversee it like all the business stuff, including like real estate. Trying to purchase like an integrated casino in the stadium as well and stuff like that. So like that's how that's how Mark Cuban thought everything was gonna go. Like I handle the basketball, you handle the business. But Dubont, he didn't live up to this. And Cuban, he was mad for a lot of stuff, including the Luca trade. And when he like Mark Cuban sort of pressed him on it, ⁓ Dumont he looked at him and he said, Why would I give you control of a four billion dollar asset? Which once again Duh, nigga, get if you want to do some shit like that, get it in writing. Cause yes, that's like if I was practicing my and I wanted to hold Mark Cuban, like I'm not a hoe, but if I wanted to hold somebody, I'd be like, why don't I let you have control over this $4 billion thing that you just sold to me? That's not how that works. So I it's very hard to feel bad for Mark Cuban. Even though I don't agree with most of the stuff. I'm not a Maverick fan, but I don't agree with 97% of the stuff they have done. But it's just like You did to yourself, Mark Cuban. You played yourself. Greg: They could have been in the game long enough to like know this. Jaxon: Yeah, I'm that's that's the surprising part to me. I'm like, why did you how did you let this happen? You know dang dang well. Greg: But yeah, I think maybe you left your guard down. Maybe you see, this what happens when you are, you know, when you're too busy multitasking. When you multitask and you got too many, you know, hands in the jar type shit, like, you know, you you'll let some things slip by you, but I think he all I think it's a combination of he also wasn't dealing with like a a nigga that is known for being in the space too. Like I feel like Him being if he was having a dialogue with like Owners that are in the basketball space, he would approach it differently because he knows how shisty basketball niggas are. I feel like this is like an arrogance, like an arrogance thing where it's just like, ⁓ okay, like this nigga don't know shit about sports. Like, this nigga green for real. If anything, Mark Cuban's like, I could fuck him over at any time I want. Because Jaxon: Yeah. Greg: You don't know the game for real. But I'm not gonna do that, X, Y, and Z. Whole time, that nigga's just a a a shisty nigga in real life. I don't have to know basketball to pull one over it on you. Like the all y'all got rich for a reason. Y'all didn't do it 100% ethically. None of y'all did it 100% ethically. If you can afford a basketball team, you did something that you weren't really supposed to be doing. You got away with some shit. Jaxon: Ha ha. Greg: Something happened under your watch. So I I think that's that's what happened. I think he he got blindsided 'cause he was like, ⁓ shit. ⁓ damn, never mind. Jaxon: I feel like Mark Cuban should have done more research on who exactly he was sell like I understand he did his research, but he should have done like there's certain types of research you should have done to figure out exactly who ⁓ you're selling this team to. Because there's some things about this family that like I want I cannot say on this platform, but like If you understand what I'm implying, Greg, then you understand like, ⁓ you can't you should have you should have known that was gonna happen with some of the We can involve with that we can involve with that family. Greg: Yeah. Yeah. And on top of that, it it it I feel like when it from Mark Cubit's perspective, it kind of feels like when you like built like a like a mod player on 2K, and then you give the controller to your girl and she just started doing random shit. She starts deleting the she start d deleting the whole player. Hold on, wait, wait. You Jaxon: Yeah, no. That's that's what they deleted Luca. That's what they did. Greg: They deleted the fuck out of Luka. Didn't get no money back. And now you started from scratch. Now you started from scratch and and apparently you got mad VC to like, you know, get you a Cooper Flag build or whatever the fuck, but it's just like that nigga ⁓ that nigga Marg and his. Jaxon: Later. But still we we already had we already have the ninety nine overall build. Greg: That nigga Mark was like, I put shit on, like I gave, I put you in a good spot, nigga. Most people like get teams that are in the gutter. Most people inherit, you know, a Charlotte Hornet. Early 2000s. A Trailblazers. Nigga, I gave you damn near the best player in the world, and we had just made it to the finals. Yeah, nigga. That. Jaxon: Yeah. A Portland Trailblazers. Greg: I still don't feel bad for him, but I still don't feel bad for him. And this and this nigga and what wasn't it the same nigga that was out here writing dissertations on Twitter with Pablo Torrey about another billionaire nigga? Come on, bro. Jaxon: Yeah. And also Mark you was We'll we'll get to we'll get to that later. We'll get to that later. But also I don't feel bad because Mark Cuban, he's sort of stupid for selling the team because like, nigga, they just went to the finals. What are you what are doing? Like the team's on top of the world. Why did you do that? Greg: He's probably tired, bro. He's probably tired, bro. He's probably over it. He and he ha and he has a championship under his belt anyway. So two is not gonna make him feel whatever. Like, I didn't have an issue with him like selling the team. Now, had he never won a champ, had he had never won a championship, I would been like, ⁓ okay, like that's pretty stupid. You won one with Dirk. Jaxon: ⁓ no, he's got it. He's so he's a like Mark Human is a diehard Madden. Granted 'cause it's cause he bought the Madison, but he's like a real deal like basketball fan, diehard Madison. So that's why I'm like, why did you Y'all was finna get another chip. Like, yes, you have one under your belt, but I feel like you'd want another one. Greg: Yeah. I was I was more ⁓ I I mean like I said, I was I think I was just more I was more upset of who you sold it to versus you selling it. 'Cause I mean, I'm I'm sure like it there's a lot that goes into just managing or owning a a a team for real. Like there's probably things that he just probably didn't want to do anymore. ⁓ especially as he's getting older in life. ⁓ everybody not gonna be Jerry Jones and just do this shit till the wheels fall off. So I c I can respect just not giving a fuck and just being a a a pure fan. while making money. But who you gave it to, like I said, we're not discussing that right now. Or ever. But if you read between the lines, why did you why them? Huh? Why why them? ⁓ but I mean, it is what it is. Jaxon: Yeah. Yeah. They're billionaires they'll they'll figure it out. They got enough money to figure everything out. Greg: Yeah, for sure. Jaxon: But ⁓ moving on, let's go talk to ⁓ LeBron for a little bit, because LeBron he hasn't made his decision yet, and he's not gonna make his decision until after the World Cup, to be honest with you. Like I feel like I don't know, I just feel like everybody knows that for real. But But ⁓ Rich Paul has been on his podcast, which I'm still confused as to why he has this podcast, but whatever. Anyway, he's been on his podcast, Max Kellerman talking about LeBron's destinations, and these seem to be the top five candidates for LeBron, the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Golden State Warriors, the Miami Heat, the Minnesota Timberwolves, and the Philadelphia 76ers. Like I said, I've been saying it this entire time he's going to the Cavs. So there's that's exactly how I feel on the situation. But I can tell you right now, LeBron is not going to Minnesota. I can tell you that right now. He is not going to Minnesota. Just because it's and not even because it's a bad because Minnesota's probably the best option on here for him. But he's not going to Minnesota just because off the strength of it's it's Minnesota. That's it. That's why he's not going to Minnesota. Greg: Yeah. ⁓ it is with heavy hearts that I must say to Minnesota. We do not care. Don't give a fuck. Okay. You have two Y-Ns, be happy with that. ⁓ let's not get greedy. See what you have. ⁓ that seems like a a horrible comb. Well, I'm not saying that's a horrible combination, but ⁓ Brian at 41. I don't need him next to some twenty three, twenty four year olds that don't know how to drive. Jaxon: No, see, I think they got or they don't know how drive in in the real world, but they can drive to the basket. They know how to do they know how to play basketball. They got sense. Or he's played with Anthony Edwards before. He knows Anthony Edwards has some sense. ⁓ Lamello doesn't have sense, but Lamello can pass very well and he can shoot. So I think that would bode well for LeBron as well. I think that's a good fit for him. But like I said, he's just he's just not living in Minnesota. That's really that's really all there is to it. Greg: If I had to rank it on where he's gonna go, I would say w yeah, where he wanna go. Jaxon: For it'd be in this order right here. Greg: Cleveland, Cle Nah. I'll put Minnesota dead last. I would I would put I would move Miami up to two and then I would put Philly at three, Golden State four, Minnesota five. I don't know where the Golden State pipe is, in my opinion. If you're gonna go to Golden State, you might as well then just stay them in LA. There's n Jaxon: Ha ha. Greg: What are you gonna do in Golden State that you couldn't do in LA? Jaxon: Play with Steph and his best buddy Draymond. Greg: We do not care. See how you see the name you didn't say? Pods. Come on now. Let's be honest with ourselves, man. But like I said, I mean, after one and two, we don't give a fuck about three, four, and five. I think there's a big gap between one and two and then the rest of them niggas. Jaxon: Yeah. I think a big gap between one and then a b I think with one with Cavs, big gap, then two, slightly big gap, and then the rest of them. Greg: Now, if it was up to me, that nigga'd be in Philly. But that's not gonna happen. Cause I know the lore. Jaxon: If it if it was up to me, he'd be at home. Cause what more do you need to accomplish? Like, I get you still want to but it's just like dog, what what more do what more do you want? I don't think you're getting another chip, bro, no matter what. Like you you can get in the playoffs. You can get you might even get to the finals, but I don't think you're gonna be like if you're if you're in the or if you're in the western conference, you're not getting to the finals. If you're in the eastern conference, you might get to the finals, but you're not gonna be able to beat Greg: Yeah. Jaxon: ⁓ improved Wimby. You're not gonna be able to beat the Thunder. You're not gonna be able to beat Minnesota probably if they get there. Like I just I don't see it. I really don't. Greg: Jackson, ⁓ Jackson and Savannah James is is two it's two bad bitches telling each other exactly. She she she doing the exact same thing. I feel like I feel like Savannah James be talking just like this. I feel like I feel like Savannah James has a whiteboard just for a nigga like LeBron. Jaxon: Yeah. I feel like I feel like if Savannah, if Savannah told him I want you to retire, I think he would retire. I think she's been like I think she told him like this is gonna be your last year. But if she if she said like retire, he would retire, I think. Greg: He need to g he she she should have pulled that trigger two years ago. Jaxon: She's a a really after the bubble championship, I'm not gonna lie to you. Greg: Match. Yeah, Covid Covet was taxing on niggas. But I feel like LeBron wasn't expecting for his whole team to disintegrate the next year. Like he thought he had another Jaxon: Only really though? She should have pulled that trigger. Once he broke the scoring record, he'd be like, All right, you've done enough. Like the seas the season, like it was the season everybody realized he was going to get the scoring record, she's gonna be like, All this is gonna be your last one. Get the record. Nobody's ever gonna touch that record and then retire. You're already you've done everything. You don't need to do no more. Greg: play with your son, you did everything. Maybe she likes the peace at the house. Who knows? Who knows, nigga? I don't I don't know. Not my house. Jaxon: Yeah. Yeah. But ⁓ Greg, have you been watching Summer League? Greg: Absolutely. Jaxon: Did you happen to see the AJ DeVanza, Darren Peterson, that game last night? I did catch a little bit of that game. I I I liked what I saw from Darren. Darren Peterson, people say, ⁓ he's like Kobe. I see like Greg: Ha ha ha. Yeah, for sure. Jaxon: He's like I don't know, I feel like he reminds me of like young Ray Allen. Like with the 'cause I don't I w I don't wanna call nobody Kobe because Kobe Kobe. You can't I feel like he just can't really do that. There's some names you can't do. But like young Ray Allen with how he moves, I see like that. AJ Devanza I don't know what I see him as just yet. I don't know exactly. But once he gets a three point shot, I feel like I'll have a better a better ⁓ better handle on like who to compare him to. But they both showed out ⁓ last game where they matched up. ⁓ Devanta had 27, 7 rebounds, 2 assists. Darren Peterson had 24, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, and also nine fouls, because you can do that in the summer league for whatever reason. But no, it was a it was a good showcase of the number one and two picks. I will say that. Greg: Jesus Christ. ⁓ you know what I saw in these two? ⁓ a whole bunch of that boy good, that boy nice. ⁓ that's what I saw ⁓ with these niggas. I I I don't really have a good comp for either of these niggas. ⁓ not that it's something not that they're not not that they're doing something that I've never seen before, but it's just a sense of like, man, I can't really they have such a good blend of like Jaxon: Yeah. Greg: former NBA players that I can't really pinpoint where, you know, where where they lean more towards 'cause they just they they both have like very polished games. I think all four picks, like the top four picks in general, I think all of their games gonna be polished 'cause I think a lot of ⁓ Caleb Wilson, like comp, they keep comparing him to like Kevin Garnett. ⁓ and it's kind of hard to like visualize that because Garnett wasn't allowed to like shoot threes and shit, but Jaxon: Yeah. Yeah. Greg: But if I honestly, anybody that's watching this, pull up some KGI highlights ⁓ on your free on your spare time. I know you won't, but if you get bored enough and go do it. Go pull that bitch up and watch that nigga shoot mid-range threes. That is the most aggravating shit in the world, cause that nigga's foot is just on the line, nigga. Jaxon: Take one step inside. He He I don't know how many points he left on the board 'cause he he'll you'll be at the three point line, open, step inside and splash. I'm just like, if you took one step Greg: I'm like god damn. No, and you know what it'd be infuriating? Because it was him and Glenn Big Baby Davis that were doing the exact same thing. They would take one step out for the three-pointer and clank that bitch hard as fuck. I'm like, ⁓ this is a mental thing for you niggas. Like everything in the mid-range, they're knocking down. They take one step back, clanks both of them. I'm like. Jaxon: It's ca because they grew up in that era. They grew up hearing big men don't shoot threes, big men don't shoot. It's just a mental block. They're like, we don't shoot no matter what. I can't shoot the three. Greg: It was a mental block. I was it's like the mechanics was right there, brother. Fuck. It's just crazy. one thing I one thing I noticed I I didn't realize how close AJ Debanza was to ⁓ my God, what's his name? ⁓ the guy Terrence, the one that passed away like a couple like years ago. Jaxon: ⁓ Clark, I believe Terrence Clark, I believe. Greg: Yeah, Terrence Clark. Did not know they were like that close. And then when you see them side by side, I'm like, damn, I kinda look alike. Low key. Low key. Like ha if you would have lied and said that was your brother, I would've believed you, nigga. Like y'all y'all like resemble each other like very close. Like that's very much. What the fuck? So it was cool seeing like subplot stories and stuff like that. But outside of that, ⁓ the Summer League is everything I expected it to be. Jaxon: Loki. Yeah, no, that's Very, very much. Greg: I think all of these rookies, they're gonna get shut down vr very soon. But I I I think the I think the draft class is already starting off very strong. Yeah. Compared to like the ⁓ twenty twenty four, where we had the the Risha She versus Alex R. Jaxon: It looks like a really good one. Yeah. One thing, one thing about summer league, I will say it's they be showing like people on the like their teammates who come to support them and blah blah blah. And I'm like, some of y'all should be on this court right now. Like, I understand you're saying, but like I saw Derek Queen. Like, I think Derek Queen will be a very good NBA player. You need to be on that fucking court, bro. Like, it's some stuff you can improve on. Mainly your defense. Same with Jeremiah Fear. Like, I thought y'all was good, but like y'all need y'all need to be on that court for real. Greg: Але I ain't gonna lie, I didn't start noticing until ⁓ I saw ⁓ Talon Horton Tucker ⁓ one time just dapping niggas up in Supper League. I'm like, hold on, nigga. Hold on, nigga, wait, wait a minute. What the fuck? You could be hooping. Now, does hooping mean like, okay, like play one game and you drop 35 and then we never see you again? Sure. Jaxon: You you should be you should be here too, brother. Greg: But you need to suit up at least one game, nigga. As a sophomore. Jaxon: Yeah, but it until you do that, like once you do that, like okay, cool. We know you're good. You can you can go back. But if you ain't do that in the summer league, we need to see you do that. Like Derek Queen, if he comes back, if he plays, he dropped 45. Okay, you're too good for that's why Reed I seen people complain, like, why isn't Reed Shepard playing? Like Reed Shepard, he was too good for the G League. Like that's why he Exactly. That's why he's he's too good. He just needs he just needs NBA experience. That's why. Greg: Yeah. That nigga was dropping 55 in the G in the G, nigga. Or niggas that or or niggas that was like on ⁓ yeah, or niggas that was like on ⁓ whatcha? I forgot his name. Jared McCain. I was like, brother, he's good. I Jaxon: We we just we we we just saw what he did. He's okay. Greg: We're w we're good, nigga. We don't have to do all that. But yeah, if you if you were sophomore, yeah, you need some reps, nigga. And you need reasonable reps, like reps that you would actually do on the NBA court. I don't need do his ass offense from the fifteenth man on the bench. I don't need I don't need do his ass offense. I don't need you looking like Kyrie Irving. We have Kyrie. Jaxon: With all due respect, play your role, nigga. Like do what do what you do in the games. Greg: And do it right, nigga. What the fuck? Don't you dare half ass that bitch. Jaxon: Listen. Greg: ⁓ no. Jaxon: But no, we have to we have to talk about the fun the final topic, which is very, very, very, very, very, very, very funny because Kawhi Leonard almost got away with it. If it wasn't for these meddling commissioners and social media journalists and this, that and the third. But the Kawhi Leonard trade to the Toronto Raptors. has officially been put on hold until the NBA finishes investigating the Los Angeles Clippers. Greg: Yeah. Jaxon: He he tried to run off. He thought he thought he got away with it. Greg: Do you think it's wise for you to keep talking? thought he thought he could get away with it. You think it's wise? ⁓ Do you think it's wise for you to keep talking? Let me know. They called my n first of all, they called my nigga a madman. First of all, they they they kept telling they kept telling that nigga Pablo Torre, don't nobody give a fuck. ⁓ Wooty do. Why do you keep telling this information? Why do you keep leaking stuff? ⁓ it doesn't matter. Hold on, bitch. The evidence is right here. All he needed was the platform. Jaxon: I like co on. Yeah. Greg: This is what happens. Jaxon: And the evidence wasn't even hard to find. Honestly, like if you just sort of looked, you would've seen it. Greg: At all, actually. Yeah. If you read Jaxon: But no, the Clippers, they had they ended up putting out a statement. And it's a long ass statement. So I'm going to Speed read flash paraphrased a lot of it, but they said for the past ten months, our organization has fully cooperated with the NBA investigation, participating in interviews, providing documents, facilitating access to our staff, and being completely transparent. On June 30th, we reached an agreement to trade Kawhi to the Raptors, and we've been informed that it can only be finalized if the Raptors ownership groups assume the risk of penalties related to Kawhi's contract that could theoretically result from the ongoing investigation. ⁓ at the heart of this investigation are Joe Sandberg and aspirations. We talked about ⁓ we did not fund the money to Kawhi Leonard through aspirations. ⁓ we were victims of fraud initiated by Samberg, who has been convicted of 14 years in prison. We recognize the uncertainties it created and the impact it has for our team and the Raptors organization. We remain confident that while the facts are we remain confident that when the facts are evaluated fairly, the NBA will confirm that we have not done anything that we have been accused of. The craziest thing I feel like in all of this is that The Raptors will be ⁓ liable for the if they if they go through with the trade, that means like the Raptors will have the penalty, like whatever, whatever ⁓ penalty Adam Silver decides to levy on them, it will go to the Raptors, which is absolutely fucking crazy. Cause they've been doing this whole thing for probably a year now, and they still haven't found or they still haven't. They found everybody's found like Pablo Torrey has found out all this stuff. Greg: Absolutely. Jaxon: Like Addison just pretending like, ⁓ we we're still invisible. We don't know what what went on. Like, yes, we do. Everybody knows. Like, I'm sorry. ⁓ what's his name? Steve Bomber. I think he's a cool owner. He seemed like a cool guy. You did that shit. It's okay, bro. You did that shit, though. You got caught. The NBA is trying to pretend like, ⁓ no, we don't know what's going on, so but it's just like. I just think it's crazy because you're gonna push that punishment off onto the Raptors if they do accept Kawhi, like. Greg: I'm putting my tinfoil hat on right now. Do you think this is a this is just me like throwing darts out. Do you think they are trying to blackmail the blackmailer? Jaxon: Okay. What do you mean by that? ⁓ 'cause Greg: When we originally first had this talk, you kinda told me, ⁓ this kinda feels like blackmail. Like it kinda feels like the the the owners of the Raptors, X, Y, and Z. And do you feel like it's now a a backdoor attempt to blackmail the blackmailer, like, ⁓ you trying to blackmail? All right, take this deal if you want to, bitch ass nigga. Now you gonna be responsible for the crimes, nigga. Jaxon: ⁓ yeah, the owner of the raptors, he is the guy. Low key, because I feel like they did that. I think Adam Silver, he sort of saw the play and he was like, Hey man, y'all niggas can't like I see what y'all are trying to do. It can't be so I feel like Adam Silver might have seen the play and like, hey y'all are trying just play with my name, which they've been playing with your name this entire time, Adam Silver. Like your name is eas very easily played with. Very easily. They feel so safe, they're not afraid of you at all. ⁓ Greg: Nigga said I am so safe here. I am so safe. Jaxon: They feel so safe. I'm sorry. You ain't done nothing to these niggas. Greg: Nigga, ⁓ that nigga read the defense like it re nigga. He saw that shit. He was like, wait, hold on, wait a minute. They doing this on me. They trying to do this shit on me, on my watch. ⁓ I mean I'm I'm interested on how this ends. Jaxon: Yeah. Kawhi gotta retire. Not gonna lie, Kawhi gotta retire. He's not going to. He gotta retire. Greg: I feel like the trade is gonna go through regardless. Like at some point, I feel like it's inevitable. I just don't see this nigga Kawhi putting on a Los Angeles Clippers jersey. Like again, I just don't see it. Jaxon: Yeah, I like even if the trade doesn't go through, like I don't think he's gonna he w I he won't Greg: They'll reroute him. Like I don't think like I think they're just trying to cut ties 'cause it's just Jaxon: I don't think there's any cause like no matter where you guys quote unquote reroute him like it's g Adam's gonna be like okay now if they send just for hypothetical they send him to the Grizzlies, Adam Silver's gonna like, all right, bet. Once we find out this investigation, y'all are taking the punishment. Or they send him to the ⁓ Spurs. Once we find out, y'all are taking this punishment. They send him to whoever. Once we find out, like Adams gonna make whoever takes Kawhi take that punishment. So that's why I'm like, I don't I don't know how this I don't I really don't know how this is gonna end, bro. Greg: I ain't gonna lie. Good play by Adam Silver. I'm not gonna hold you. That's a that's a good play. Jaxon: I think he wants to suspend Kawhi, I'm not gonna lie to you. Greg: No, I'm saying, like he he was like, yo, like, the Clippers can't get away from this, from this punishment. They're trying to like find loopholes to like get up out of this. And Adam Silver is just kind of cutting them off and was just like, okay, any team that want to help him, take his punishment. the Clippers can't get away from this, from this punishment. They trying to, like, the Clippers really trying to brand and soresby this shit. They're trying to like find loopholes to like get up out of this. And Adam Silver is just kind of cutting them off and was just like, okay, any team that's that want to help him, take his punishment. Yeah, you beat you beat Jesus for him. You take his sins. You go do it. And nobody's trying to do it. Cause nobody loves nobody loves Steve Ballmer that much. To just, ⁓ I got you big bro. You think you think ⁓ you think Steve Ballmer is ⁓ what's that nigga name? What's that ⁓ who was it, Dirk or Pooh Shisey that was like, I need six informants. who was it, Dirk or Pooh Shisey that was I need six informants. ⁓ Jaxon: No No Greg: ⁓ overstood. ⁓ overstood. Jaxon: They're not Greg: Yeah. Jaxon: ⁓ did they like I no they all love Bomber like that? Greg: ⁓ They all love they they ain't love him like they little push I think. I was looking at that text through it again, I was like overstood. Jaxon: Think it was like when and where what? Greg: Nigga said, overstood. I was like, whoa, y'all was ready. Y'all was ready to kill some shit. Jaxon: Bro, the names and those like the contact names and those tech myths. There was like Freddie, Michael Myers, Jay. I'm like, y'all just all named after these niggas, bro. ⁓ my goodness. Greg: Straight demons. Stray demons, nigga. Hell no, they don't love you. They don't love you like the streets love a Pooh Shistie, nigga. I'm so sorry. ⁓ you you are not safe. You you are not safe at all. but yeah, that's that's all I got from it. I ⁓ they want to suspend him. I and I hope they try to find a way to suspend Balmer. ⁓ but they gotta wait for the investigation to do something. I I I need some I need some resolve though. Jaxon: They for sure I I just like we all like Pablo Torre has given us all the evidence. Like we all know ev did you see like cause he's been making like this whole ⁓ like the whole ⁓ series about on his podcast about this whole thing and one of the th I think it was a couple months ago or something like that, there was a conference that Adam Silver was at and Pablo Torre was also at that conference and like Pablo Torre, he like taped evidence of like the fraud underneath Adam Silver's chair before the conference started. ⁓ just the man, bro. Just just punish him. Greg: Bro, do do the do the right thing, my nigga. We're doing a lot. Jaxon: Greg, I do believe it's about that time. Greg: Bam. Hot take of the week. Jax, what is your hot take? Jaxon: No, I've been seeing a little bit of the summer league stuff. And combine that with my bias for the college that I attended. I'm just going out on the limb and say that Kingston Flemings will be a better pro than Darius Acuff. And I'm standing on that. That was an episode that we didn't drop, remember? Yeah. Greg: Ain't you say this already? ⁓ you're right. Mm. Jaxon: But nah, Kingston Flemings will be better than Darius. I think a lot of the one, they're around the same size for sure, but I think Kingston Flemings is a little more athletic. Not even a little, because he is that nigga's athletic as hell. So I think that's going to benefit him for sure. ⁓ I believe he's Darius Acuff, he can, he's a better scorer as far as offense, although he past few games that he's done in the summer league, he hasn't really put up efficient numbers. I think his first game he went like nine for 29 or something crazy like that. Greg: Yeah, it's more. Jaxon: But think Darius Aikop has an easier path to scoring and being like that high scorer. But I think as far as everything else, I think Kingston Flemings is better. Like when it comes to passing, when it comes to defense. Because like I said, they're around the same size, but Flemings is more athletic and he was he was a better defender in c like during the whole pre-draft process, people were like, ⁓ he's too small to play defense. I'm like, what? I was watching the games. He can play defense. I was I was confused when people were saying that. I'm like, what do you all talk about? He can play defense. So that's another thing I think. Greg: Yeah, we was watching this nigga play defense, nigga. You can't even be a part of Kelvin Sampson's system if you're not playing defense, nigga. It don't matter how good you are, nigga. Jaxon: So that's why I think there's another reason he's gonna be better. I think he's in also a better situation than Acuff with the Hawks, 'cause they actually have good players. Like respect to the Kings, but you're the Kings. So I think Yeah, like the Hawks, they have ⁓ he's in a better role, better situation with them, so it's gonna make th his life easier and make it easier for him to like Greg: And that's a playoff turn. Jaxon: improve at a faster rate. I just really do think that King Flemings will be a better pro than Darius Egg. I think Darius Agas will be very good. I'll say that much. I don't think he's gonna be bad at all. Or he might be bad for the Kings. He'll be he'll be good for his next team. 100 when he f when the Kings finally trade him, he's gonna be amazing. But right now I think Derrick I'm not Darius, but I think King Fleming will be the better pro. That's truly just what I see. Greg: Even if you think even if you think his Kingston Flemings was like going to be a bad defender, which he wouldn't, he won't. He won't ever be. Even if you thought that, ⁓ The Atlanta Hawks spent a decade learning how to cover Trey Young's defensive efficiencies, nigga. I think he'll be okay. I think he'll be just fine. Y'all niggas have Dyson Daniels. Y'all have Jalen Johnson. Jaxon: Yeah. And also, like he he's small right now, but he's small because he's he's a rookie. He just got here. He's gonna get bigger, he's gonna get stronger. Like that's another thing, another reason defense is gonna improve as well. And I'm not even saying he's a bad defender because he's not. He's just a little small cause he just got here. Let him grow up. He's nineteen. Greg: Yeah. Yeah, he Niggas want him to be Davion Mitchell so bad. Bipe down, nigga. ⁓ I I agree with it. I agree with it. And with Acuff, ⁓ they better for A Cuff's situation. He better hope he get he better hope he get ⁓ traded before that ⁓ magical number, that magical age. For for his well being. Jaxon: Yeah. That's real. Greg: Maha to I think the Popeye's biscuit has some of the worst PR out of any biscuit ever, bro. Any bread, I think it has the worst PR. That motherfucker is not as dry as niggas want to make it out to be. They be like, ⁓ my God, this bitch so fucking dry. ⁓ my God. Get a really KFC really need to get the smoke that Popeyes get when it comes to a bit when it comes to a dry biscuit, bro. Popeye's low key. Jaxon: Yeah. Yeah. I'm gonna stop you right there. I'm gonna stop you right there. Who's going to KFC? That it don't get it don't get to smoke because nobody go to KFC. That's why I don't get to smoke. I agree with I do agree with their hot take. People going crazy with Popeye's. It's not that bad. But nobody going to KFC to know, bro. Greg: Well Well You're right. You're right. Two shades. Touche, my nigga. Touche. I I shot that with 20 seconds left on that on that shot clock. I just I left that open, nigga. I ain't gonna lie. But but like you keep seeing like when it comes to pop the the Popeye slander, like I I I get when it comes to like the the customer service and all that stuff you want to compare it Waffle House. I'm not here to argue that. I'm here to specifically talk about that biscuit when people like, yeah, I eat the biscuit, no bev. That is not a crazy thing. Well, first of all, I think you need to have a bev with anything that you do. Any, I think with any meal, no bev is crazy. Unless you're dealing with soup or something. But for you to specifically be like, ⁓ my god, Popeye's no bev. Ooh. Yeah, nigga, if you had a nigga, a bacon editor with no bev is crazy. That's what I'm saying. A 10 piece from Wingstop. Jaxon: True. Yeah. Now why would you go to the restaurant and not get a drink? Why'd you go to the restaurant and not get a drink? Like what it goes with. Greg: No bev is crazy, nigga. Why was that? Why was that the the combo for you niggas? That's crazy. I think that's a top three biscuit when it comes to chicken spots. It might be third, but I I think it it's a conversation of like best biscuit biscuit when it comes to the fast food chicken places. ⁓ number one for me is always gonna be church's chickens, ⁓ honey biscuit. I think that honey biscuit is fire. ⁓ outside of that, I kind of forgot. the rest of the biscuits that be out there. I'm not gonna lie, I kind of drawing a blank. But all I'm saying is the fact that I'm drawing a blank that lets me know that Popeye's is a fighting contender. Jaxon: I would have Popeye's number one to be honest. I do like the church's biscuit. Although I ain't been to church in a minute, but I would have Popeye's number one as far as biscuit. Greg: I think churches is like a nostalgia for me. So but I'm not mad at of anybody saying I'm putting the Popeye biscuit as the best biscuit. I'm totally fine. Jaxon: Okay. The thing, like the Popeye's biscuit is this the Popeye's biscuit and the Black Air Force are the same thing. 'Cause everybody's like, ⁓ my gosh, the Popeye's biscuit is so dry, it's like this in the Black Air Force, ⁓ my gosh, you must be a you must be a this and that and have guns and all like it's just it became a meme that got a life of its own and it's stupid for both of them 'cause like Popot nigga just eat the biscuit. It's not crazy. And then with the Air Force to just put on the shoe, it's not crazy. Like it just became a meme. And it's not it became a meme so much so that's not even funny anymore. It's just like, all right, bro. Well other is there any more is there any is there another joke you have? 'Cause I'm not laughing. Like that's all. Greg: you know what the next joke is. The the spicy ass sprite from McDonald's. Like they'll just keep going. They'll just they'll just keep well. But yeah, that that that's my take. ⁓ not too much on the Popeye's biscuit. ⁓ I'm not gonna call you anti black, but at the same time, I'm not not gonna call you that because what was the reason? Jaxon: Yeah, I know. Ha ha good one. I'm not not gonna call you anti black. Greg: Why do y'all keep talking about this fucking why you talking about this this fucking biscuit? Just eat that bitch. God damn. ⁓ but Jackson your last words? Jaxon: ⁓ man, wanna go change your life, go out, do some life changes stuff. Even though it's like a hundred and seventeen degrees outside. Still go outside, touch some grass, do all that. Greg: ⁓ I heard a quote from TikTok or somebody say that, you know, great minds think alike. That's like one part of a full quote. ⁓ like great minds think alike. And I think the part the the but the second part is like, but but ⁓ Jaxon: Yeah. Greg: Poor minds or simple minds never defer, or some shit like that. Basically, along the lines of, yeah, great minds do be thinking alike, but also don't be an echo chamber either. ⁓ don't be two dumb bitches telling each other exactly either. And saying, ⁓ my God, great mind, period, great minds think alike. Jaxon: I don't know. Greg: No. Just f just food for thought. That and go touch grass and ⁓ boycott your peacock subscriptions. ⁓ retired of Love Island. I will be watching tonight. But fuck that show. I'm gonna watch though. Jaxon: Yeah, it's wor worse over. Worse orever. Greg: Worst type worst type of show that I that I will that I will watch. The finale Sunday, I'll watching it too. After Sunday, I'll never watch it again. I'll n I'll I you know what? I'm telling you right now, Jax. This is the last I'll I won't watch another Love Island episode for the rest of the year. How about that? Jaxon: Yeah. Yeah. All right. It's crazy 'cause it's not serious because I know you're gonna watch when they have a reunion or whatever, I know you're gonna watch that too. Greg: Anyhow, we might have to reconvene. But without further ado, we'll catch y'all niggas next week.
