Episode 149: Why Are You Surprised That WHITE Man Is MAGA? · Play 4 Keeps Podcast

• Greg: this. 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. I'm your host, Greg. My host, Jax. Y'all don't know. Jax: Whoa, you introduced it wrong. You introduced it wrong. I'm Jax the host. This is not, that's Greg. That's not just Greg. That's Silver, ⁓ what's the award called? I can't remember. Silver Telly award winning, Greg Goods. He's one of Telly, he's one of Emmy. He's like, man, people aren't even celebrating my first Emmy. I'm like, your first? He flexed on me, he didn't even realize. Greg: Silver Telly Award. Jax: getting all these awards. I haven't even, that's, he introduced us wrong. I'm Jack. That is award winning, Greg, my fault. But you can, can take a look. Greg: Somebody is so some somebody even say Mr. Worldwide crazy. It's crazy. literally some international shit going on, bro. Damn, this is the podcast for casuals. If you're a casual, this is the show for you. You know. You know, I know casuals don't win an award, but this casual does. I'm on for all the casual niggas. Jax: Pfft. Literally, literally. Greg: You can win at any time. ⁓ you can win any time. I mean, he's a tug of five threes. But before we, you know, we do actually have things to talk about. So let me not waste your time. Donations, donations. Here comes the. Jax: I'm sorry. You to. Greg: Man, make sure y'all y'all hit that link down below. ⁓ Every every penny counts, every dollar counts. It is it is what it is. But now that we're here, let's go ahead and just get into the things that quite frankly, we do not care. We don't care about. Again. The Drake album. Jax: Of course we are. You Greg: We first dropped. It was just a leak. Now we have a full album and actually, Jackson, I actually am grateful. That we didn't have the podcast the day after. The drop, we allowed a week of marination period. I don't like initial reactions when it comes to a Drake album or any album in general, but specifically with Drake, because I know how some niggas be. Literally, I could just pinpoint like three niggas at my job. When it first the day it dropped and how they're talking now, those are two different conversations being had right now. But before we even get into the X, let's talk about it. Let's talk about these three. Well, I don't know how many albums you listen to. I listen to all three of them at least once for sure. Jax: I listen to all of them. Yeah, least the album is the one. Like the, who was it? The Maid of Wanna One? That one was terrible. I've never listened to that one again. ⁓ Greg: I Jax: the Habibi album. I liked that one. That one's cool. I like a lot of those. I don't know how many songs. When I first heard it, I didn't like it. But then I lowered my expectations and came back and I was like, you know what? Fine. I enjoyed it. But Iceman, I told people that I gave it a six and a half and they were like, look at me, I was crazy. But it's like. Cause like the rapping is good. I think it's a good album, but it's just like, I don't like some of the stuff you're saying. Like I don't like it coming from you, bro. that's why, that's why I had to give this thing. Greg: It's like the LeBron. It's like the LeBron ⁓ meme. It's like not not you. Anybody else? Jax: sent that video to IO, we was talking about that. I literally sent that to him. I just don't like it coming from him. Like the rapping is excellent. Great rapping. He can still do that for sure. But he's like, when did you like, when did you become this mob boss that's twisting up the O and the C and the T and the throwing up all these gang signs and this, that, and like, when did that become you? Like we, we know you, you said you not like that, bro. Yeah, but I still listen to it. I like it, but it's just like, I don't like the stuff you're saying. Greg: I'll go in order from least liked to my favorite. The Beatty. Cool album. Respectfully. When I seek out R &B, Drake is not the nigga I'm here to go see. So anything that has a slope, anything that deals with a slow beat or some singing, I don't, I don't want it. I really don't want to hear it. Jax: you That's right. He can't. He can't sing anymore. That's one of the things that's one of my biggest say like he cannot sing at all That's why I had to lower my expectations then come back to be you know, they know what I do like it like cuz I just realized ⁓ he can't sing no more so like for a nigga who can't sing like I'm dead ass he can't Like what's that one song like who's like? my god. What is it called? I think there's a classic on that. Like people like that song a lot. And when I first heard it, I was like, this is fucking horrible. He can't sing. But then I came back with lowered expectations. I was like, you know what? It's fine. But I don't know what happened. I think he needed to, I think all musicians that do some type of like melodic anything need to have like a singing coach or a vocal coach. But like then he can't sing no more at all. Greg: I was I think what was the song on her beauty that was listened to for worth? I think it's like. Jax: Yeah, that sounds good. Greg: the that nigga brought up Connecticut in that, I was like, wow, this is. He said, I'm getting booked for Little Rock, Arkansas, New Haven, Connecticut. Mind you, this is a literal, hey, this is a liberal state. This nigga would talk about Confederate flags right after. I was just like. Jax: I to song call four words is what? Greg: Yeah, I don't want to see this. I don't want to hear this thing sing. So that was my ⁓ my least favorite album or the one that I only played once. Then made of honor. ⁓ jacks. I understand that you find it terrible. ⁓ respectfully, if I didn't have a girlfriend, I would relate to you. I saw my girl throw ass. Thank you, Drake. I love this album. Jax: Hahaha Like he just made like, I get the album is like an album for like partying and like, cause I said this about all the album, like really about all the songs I ain't like, like it's probably sounds crazy. Like in a live setting with like people and dancing and all that, it probably sounds insane, but like just listening to it, no, this is stupid. So like, get the point of it, but like, I'm not saying that. I don't care about that. Greg: Absolutely. Absolutely. And they could save my fuck ass like they could change my fuck ass life last weekend. I'll say thank you, Drake. ⁓ my God. Bay, if you you listen to this skip past 45 seconds, I'm about to uplift you in the worst way possible. ⁓ my God. That was amazing. That was amazing. I'm not going hold you. My God. She know I love her anyway. Jax: you Greg: I probably give that album if I'm not being biased. I'm not being biased. I want to give it a nine. It's not a nine, but. My girl made it in the night, but respectfully, it'll probably be like five, five or six. Like, there's probably like two songs that I kind of like enjoyed without anything extracurricular from my partner happening. But. Jax: See Mm-hmm. Greg: Then I get the Iceman. Not gonna lie. I started when off the first listen, I gave Iceman probably like seven and a half. As I listened to it more, bumped that bitch up to eight and a half. Not gonna lie. I was like, ⁓ my God. it was just like, I refuse to believe like if niggas don't like Drake, fine. What a nigga can't tell me. Jax: You know, that he was was rapping on that hood. Like that's why I like like. Greg: was that he was rapping. That nigga was rapping. That nigga's bars was... ⁓ my God, there was some shit I had to break down. was some shit that I didn't even catch. I'm like, whoa. Jax: There was, there was that, then there was some shit that was like, he snuck some Big Sean ass bars in there a lot. And that's honestly, that's Drake has always been a big Sean. Drake and Big Sean have always been the same nigga, if we're being completely honest, as far as rapping. Like they always say the same type of corny shit, but Drake just get away with it. Niggas be on Big Sean ass, Drake just get away with it for some reason. But not. Greg: No, because they don't like how big someone says, boy, boy. Jax: But outside of that though, he was rapping his ass off though, I will say that much. I just don't read all the stuff he has. And then respectfully, I don't know this nigga's relationship, but bro, get off LeBron. Leave LeBron alone, And leave the... Leave the fuck with it. Greg: No, was actually actually that was one of my favorite things that he did. I'm not going to lie. And I fuck with LeBron. I fuck with LeBron heavy. That is the goal to be. He's the best basketball player of all time. One of the most one of the most entertaining things and my favorite thing in the album is how hard that nigga went on Drake, him and DJ Khaled. I like the Calibre. I'm not going to Jax: Demar DeRozan. Leave Demar DeRozan. He fucking hates that. Like that was like, he was on Demar DeRozan. Granted he was like one song, but he was on his ass that entire song. I'm like, my nigga. But Logan, I get it. Greg: He was on that thing. But now now with LeBron, LeBron earned that one. I don't go for when nobody say LeBron earned that one. ⁓ my God. That thing turned out. It wasn't even the car. Honestly, the concert wasn't the one that did it for me when I saw that photo of him dancing his ass off at this random on beach thing. Like I have to. Jax: How? Can we go to a concert? Greg: I have to look it up. Jax: See like that's unfair because was LeBron was in a private moment just vibing to a song. now he's gonna record that. It's not like everybody, not like it's a good song. People like that song, bro. You the biggest song in the world, of course LeBron gonna like dance to it a little bit, bro. Like. Greg: Nah, but the way that nigga was car- I'm not saying it's not a good song. We can respect it as a good song. No, it wasn't a little bit, and now we got to look this now. He got to look. Or even maybe look up this bra shit. Jax: These can't have fun in the privacy of wherever they at, bro. Bro, that's what I ain't like. that, Drake, one thing he also did a whole lot on the album, he kept talking about, ⁓ man, I know all these secrets, bro. Should I tell him shit? I'm like, bro, that's whole shit, bro. Don't act like that. Greg: That sounded like Stephen A Smith. Jax: That's whole shit. Don't act like that, bro. Greg: That's right. ⁓ I gotta I gotta break this bitch up Jax: You can't catch a vibe, Greg: And first of all, that nigger said, Hey Drake, I heard him. I heard you liked him young. Jax: You can't sing along to a song. My nigga can't catch a vibe. can't. Bro, leave him alone. He ain't do nothing wrong. Greg: Bro, what? Bro, if there was a nigga right now dissing you, and you saw me, say Jax. I heard him. Whoa, that's crazy. Jax: I feel like, like. Yes, that would be an issue, 1000%. But also like, I feel like we're close enough, like we would have had a conversation about this whole situation already. I don't know how close Drake and LeBron are, or like, I don't know if they've ever like, let me fix that, what you call it. But like, I don't know if they've, how many conversations they've had regarding the whole situation. So, I don't know, I just ain't like that. was. Greg: You're welcome. The Agos. Jax: And going to niggas who can't respond, like LeBron left in a rapid drake. LeBron left in a say nothing to drake, like so. That's why I'm like, nigga, you niggas can't defend themselves. Greg: I will. I will. Nigga bro Drake the way Drake named him in drag these past two years. I don't care niggas can't respond. Should have thought of that. You should have thought of that nigga. Now, if you don't give a fuck about the if you don't give a fuck about the relationship, then you can do it if you want to do. I mean, just for me to act like Drake was never going to respond to that. Crazy. Jax: We eat on anything. Like you can respond to that, but like he was saying shit, he said shit on like four different songs by that name. Like that name, was like, and then he covered it up with a tattoo of Shay, which is crazy, but still. Greg: Yeah bro, he got a tattoo of that nigga. Canadian. Jax: But now like, I gave that one a six and a half, you gave it an eight and a half. It's a album. You could have one of these two and go like, yeah. Greg: ⁓ yeah, I mean, mean, was there a song on Iceman before we move on? There's a song on Iceman that you initially didn't fuck with or initially didn't wasn't gravitating towards. And then as you listen more to it, you're like, actually, I do fuck with this. I lied to myself. Jax: Not really like all the ones I like. All the ones I like are ones that actually no too hard for the radio. I, when I first heard that I fucking hate it. I thought it was the worst song ever. And I still do hate it, but I liked the first part. But then the second part where he liked, cause the first part it was like cool, like a vibe type shit. And then the second part he tried to go all super duper hard on like the Bay area type beat. didn't like that hoe. I don't, so that's, I guess I liked that one a little bit, but for the most part, everything else was. Greg: Yeah. Jax: All the other ones I liked are the ones I liked from the beginning. So yeah. Greg: ⁓ Ran to Atlanta. didn't say I didn't. It's not that I didn't like it at first. It was just. I didn't gravitate towards it. All right. I'll say this. When I first heard it, I liked the second part of the beat better than the first beat as I listened to it more. I do like that first beat better than the second beat, and I wish they would have never did the B switch. I wish they would have just stayed with the first beat and have future rap on that first beat. ⁓ Jax: That one, that that one, that one, Greg: And and I'm and I'm confused on why futures even on here to begin with but I don't know these niggas relationships. It's just I don't know Jax: Bro, exactly. You met at LeBron, but got a few straight out with my nigga. Come on, bro. What are you fucking doing? Greg: Crazy. crazy. I'm crazy. One person that I will say you need to leave alone. At this point, you do need to leave Asap Rocky alone. Please leave that nigga alone. Jax: I'm like, did you like the album version of it in the video version? Have you seen the video for it or no? No, the video makes the song sound better. like, like the album version is just Drake saying it, but in the video it's like Drake and all his like friends like chanting the lady. that makes it one, it sounds better. Cause like everybody's saying it in two. It's so much funnier cause it just seems like they're teasing ASAP Rocky and like, Greg: I've not seen the video for it. Did you see A $AP Rocky's actual single? Did you see him perform it? Jax: Yeah, like, I didn't like- I H.I. Brought you- was just too- I didn't like the album, so like, I'm not surprised they didn't post that bitch, but- Greg: No, no, but did you physically see that single? Like, did you physically see that nigga like perform it? Jax: But I didn't the album was not good. So I didn't I didn't think I think the single would be I think he performed well either so But like the a He doesn't believe a set rocky alone cuz at the end of the day a set one But also it's funny is shit and he's gonna keep missing a set rock cuz you know they said can't better than him I'm like, know what you got a respect. Well, you don't gotta respect it, but I get it Greg: I'll show it to you later. It is funny. Yeah, and finally, Janice Shut the Fuck Up didn't like it at first. After after listening to these lyrics again, these are these are lyrics that I can definitely tell my girl. Jax: You're telling your girl to shut the fuck up? Oh, just make it certain, just make it certain, just make it Greg: No. But I can say I need you. I for sure need you. Um Have no who to foot. I don't know who Janice's people was talking shit about shebang. I love shebang Jax: Who is Jamie? N****, this thing is great. That's my favorite song in the whole... Greg: I love shebang. I saw I saw like that's why I don't be fucking with these hip hop purists. ⁓ my god. Shebang was horrible. I was like, whoa. That's enough. you're seeing that nigga. Jax: That's just the funniest video ever. I watch the hell every time, bro. Greg: That n***a's so funny to me! Jax: But I wanna hear, like, he wasn't dancing to Shevang, he was dancing to some other songs. I wanna hear the original one. I don't know what to fucking look up. I don't know how to find it, but I wanna hear the original. Yeah, that was tough. Greg: You know, yeah, I really do want to hear the original song. I don't even know that niggas name. I don't know the name. But that's funny as fuck. Yeah, I think this is a top. I will say, regardless, if you don't like the album or if you don't like Drake, one thing that's undeniable, this is a top three produced album that is in his catalog. Those beats were fire. Like. It was in his bag. They're in the bag. Jax: Yeah, like my Drake rankings are weird. Cause like niggas like I like the Drake albums that people don't like. So that's why I'm like, I don't know why I'd rank it for real, but I liked y'all. Greg: Yeah. I haven't been I haven't listened to this much Drake album like this much of a Drake album, probably since. Certified lover boy Oliver, I really enjoyed that album. Jax: Yeah, the dog album was terrible. That album was terrible. Greg: I don't think I went all the way through. There's still some songs I haven't listened to from far to those. I don't like them. Jax: Like I got that ho and I was like maybe a girl on me that ho would never be that high. I thought that was sweet. Greg: Honestly, there was more songs on Sexy For You that I listened to more than Brother Dogs. Jax: Yeah, probably. Greg: But you know, that's our that's our musical reaction from two casual sports guys. Jax: We say all that to say we do not care. Greg: We do not give a fuck. We do not care long as we do not care. Talk. I might even say we did care. Somebody will say we did care. ⁓ well, it wasn't sports. It wasn't sports. Now, real quick, real, real, real, real quick. Jesus Christ. Jax: What? Greg: ⁓ We do not care. Yeah, Jalen Brown and Stephen H Smith doing weird shit again. ⁓ Jax: Yeah, then. I don't know. I true like, you know where this beast I get like understand Jaylen Brown's graph of Stephen A because those are the same perhaps I have a lot but like I don't even know where this started. But I don't know who said what to anybody. Greg: ⁓ it started. It started because Stephen, they, know how Stephen may be Stephen, they see some shit. He responds to it and he he takes it up a notch. He goes crazy. ⁓ and basically telling, you know, Jaylen Brown, stop that live streaming and all the wootie woo. I'm kind of the stuff that we said. But, you know, Stephen, he likes to take it up a notch. It's like, hey, brother. Jax: Of course. Of course. Greg: We're not telling that nigga what to do. We're just saying, whatever. So when Jalen Brown gets back and gets back on stream, he's like, I'll stop streaming. I'll stop streaming when you retire. When you put the mic down, I'll put my mic down. Jax: But like, what was the thing that made Stephen A mad at Jalen Brown at first? Like who, I just wanna, who took the first shot? Like period. That I- Greg: Stephen A. Smith! Well, it depends. Jax: No, but like what was he reacting to? Like what was he reacting to that Jalen Brown said is my question. Because Jalen Brown, because I didn't, Jalen Brown was all like, even though he's being unfair in this guy and the third, but I don't know what even caused all this to happen. Greg: No, it hit the original grapes. I mean, the original gray, the original gripe was like ⁓ Stephen A. Smith when when when Jalen Brown did the initial stream of him breaking down film and the refs and all that shit. Stephen A. was talking. It kind of depends on how you like you, Stephen, like, ⁓ did he take it out of bounds or. Jax: Okay. Greg: Does you know, does his aggressive nature make you feel some type of whatever the case may be? You know, like how Jalen Brown was doing that and you know how you used to, you know, as a brother, whatever, you know, whatever the fuck. And that's when Jalen Brown, I guess you can say Jalen Brown took the shot of like, OK, like you want me off the stream so bad, I can get off the stream. It's not like I've been doing this for years. I'll get off when you retire. ⁓ When you put your mic down, I'll put my mic down because you're not really doing a real journalism for you. You're not really doing a real reporter. And when you question that niggas credentials, And that's when Stephen A starts taking it up a notch and start talking about, you're not marketable. You're not. I'm like, whoa. Jax: Don't let me tell the world what everybody's been saying about you, once again, even goes in line with what Jaylen Brown was saying about how you're unfair and you're doing all sorts of Don't let me expose this. I'm like, nigga, like, Steve and I, he's done so many niggas and nothing happens. Like. Greg: You don't wanna make it. You don't wanna make an enemy out of me. Jax: Yes, I do. Boom. Nothing happened. Like he did that to Kevin, like years ago. Nothing happened. These empty threats, like nigga, what are you talking about? Do it or be quiet. Do it or be quiet. Greg: I'm like, bro, what the fuck? Nothing happens. I don't mean- Know I'm sayin' bro? And what are what is the do it are you talking about? Nick Wright made a great point. If you have information, just say it. If you if you're reporting it, report it. Jax: Do it or shut, do it or shut up. That's, that'd be my biggest issue when they like do something or shut up. That's issue I have with Drake, bro. Do it and shut up. Greg: They get talking about the sources here. Hey, bro, what are we talking about? Like, man, shut your whole ass up and make some drums, nigga. What are we talking about? I never understood. I never understood that. And I think Kendra Perkins piled it on with his with his shit. Let me read his text messages out loud on air. All right, bro. All right. Y'all y'all doing a lot. But all in all. Jax: So I don't. Greg: I think they should both shut up and dribble. Jax: I think they both, honestly, think they should, I think Stephen and should retire. I think Taylor and Russia should stop. I think everybody should do what they want in this situation. Yeah. Greg: there. Yeah, I think we should I think we should meet in the middle and just do what we all said I think we should all I'm michael jackson. putting both guns down. Hey Jax: No. Greg: We're What? How many times? Hey, Stephen, hey, Damon Brown. We're good. We have been now. We have be we have be here. We don't need you. That's just crazy. But you know. Jax: You One day them 520 niggas are going to get on first take and it's going to be terrible. I mean that in the best way possible. Greg: And it's always going to end. And it's never going to be inside. It's never going to be inside studios. It's always going to be on some ⁓ outside of HBCU day or whenever Pat McAfee is out there. Jax: ⁓ yeah. ⁓ yeah. Or like a crazy playoff front. Like this was last year or whatever. Like the players had the same year they had last year. They would for sure have been on that. Greg: Absolutely. So I'm not mad at it. I hope they keep growing. But respectfully. And button push. We do not care. We just we just don't care. And that's that's OK. That's OK. Was that the last one? Oh, we have her. She writes. We have her. She writes. This is this is quick. That niggas stupid. That niggas a word that I can't say on the Internet. Jax: Nah, that... yeah. Yeah. Remember when you tried to say you need to talk to people? That was one of the funniest. That of course never made the air, but that was the funniest thing to ever happen. But no, Racy Rice, he's been in legal trouble basically his whole entire career. His latest thing was he got. Greg: I said it with my full chest too. I was like. Jax: Um, it was like, caused a car crash, a gigantic car crash in Dallas and then he ran away or whatever. ended up getting caught for that and he was on like probation or something and he ended up failing a drug test. So now he's sentenced to 30 days and he's failed it for a week by the way. Now he's sentenced to 30 days in jail while OTAs and all that are starting for the NFL. Oh yeah. And by the way, he just had surgery. So he's literally in jail in like the... at the hospital or whatever in jail with his leg up just not being able to do anything so like my nigga really what do we what really bro Greg: That's so stupid. That's. That's so dumb. right. These these these Kansas City chief ass niggas, man, they just they just do weird shit, Not smart, not smart at all. All time. I'm still thinking about that shit you just brought up. You are a. That's crazy. But, you know. Hopefully, he don't do none stupid in jail. And every time I feel every time I hear stuff like this, I've and this is no no shot to John Wall. I just think about the time John Wall like tore his shit and then in the midst of him recovering like that, they could fell down a flight of stairs into some other shit. Jax: Thank ⁓ yeah. Greg: Like I would hate for like Rashid Rice because he's not in the best care and don't have the best position around him. He just has his surgery and then you fuck up something else because a fight happens in the brawl and niggas just move you out the way by accident. my leg. Jax: Yeah, Greg: And I can't feel bad because why did you put yourself in this position? This is crazy. This is your fault. You made this sandwich. Crazy. We do not care. Absolutely. And one more thing. R.I.P. Kyle Busch. Of course, we are, you know, NSO. But every once in a while, when something impactful happens, we do have to bring up Kyle Busch, one of the greatest. Jax: Literally probably. Greg: NASCAR drivers of all time passed away at age of 41. One of the only. Yeah, there's only like three niggas that there's only like three people that black people know. Jax: He's like one of the only NASCAR drivers I even know. Like that's how you know, that's how you know it. It's like him, him, Dale Earnhardt, Dale Earnhardt Jr. And what do say, Jimmy Johnson, like it's just them. Those are like the only NASCAR drivers that like, know, or not even, the universe is probably too strong, only NASCAR drivers that are known like throughout the nation for real, for real. And Kyle Woods, he's absolutely, after. Greg: That yeah, that that and and Bubba Wallace is an honorable mention because some racist shit happened to him. I mean, I don't even know if the niggas like cold, cold. Like, I know he's good enough to be talked about, but I don't. They don't, know, but basically what I what I've learned about Kyle Bush was that that nigga was basically like, you know, the Kobe Bryant of NASCAR. Jax: Yeah. Greg: from an infamous standpoint of, we root against you, nigga. It's like a whole bunch of whole bunch of red niggas that root against this nigga. ⁓ wow. Jax: And he was still waiting on me. Greg: redneck on redneck crime is just. That's just something I don't want to see. You love to see it. I'm not I'm not here to see it, I could do it. I'll see it. I'm not I'm not actively searching for that, Jax: You love to it. You love to see it. I get this fear. I get this fear. Greg: speaking of rednecks. ⁓ So about that NAACP and how. Jax has a. You know, he has a real insane relationship with NAACP indirectly. ⁓ And I just thought about this in ⁓ the midst this time, because what we're about to talk about NAACP actually agrees with Jax's hot take from last week, but I think about Jax: Shit. Greg: the first time I saw NAACP and Jax together. And that was during like a tweet that that nigga did when he said NAACP do something. And it was in response to Nate Robinson getting his ass beat by Jake Paul. I will never forget that. You have long ties with that shit. Jax: What? That whole thing go by. This is funny. I forgot about that. ⁓ Greg: I just thought about that. was just like, bro, he said he's talking about the NAACP. Where is he? I was like, oh, Jake Paul. Robinson. Pandemic was a crazy time. I'll say, wow. Jax: Nigga, we just doing anything, man. God, that pandemic, it don't feel real. It do not. Greg: Man, that's a weird time. But for people that don't know Jax on Take Jax, take it away. Jax: All right, well, the NAACP, I'm not gonna rehash my whole hot take, because it's basically right here, but the NAACP, they're starting to urge athletes and fans as well to boycott over voting rights. They're calling all black athletes and fans, like I said, to boycott athletic programs or schools that are in state that are taking steps to ⁓ take away some of black people's voting rights and are restricting our civil rights and things like that. And that's basically what I said last week. Problem? I sort of have with that. I think, this was my hot take last week. I do 100,000 % agree with this. the problem I have, like in the actual official announcement, because this isn't an official announcement, it's just like, someone from ESPN. But I believe it was like Cory Booker or something like that. He was one of, he's politician or whatever. And one of the things he said, he was like, we need to stop these SEC schools and blah, blah, blah. And it's like. Yes, we do need to stop these SEC schools, but also it's not just them. It's, you know, North Carolina, ACC, it's other schools as well. And then another thing that is sort of hard to reconcile with is like, it feels weird to be like, ⁓ black kid, don't go to this, don't go to Georgia, go to another state that loves you like fucking, I don't know, Oregon, who notoriously do not like black people. It's it's sort of weird because everywhere hates us, but I still do agree that with the NAACP on this one because something needs to happen. Something needs to happen that affects somebody's pocketbooks or makes people realize that some change somewhere needs to happen. So yeah. Greg: Yeah, it's going to be it's going to be difficult. Like. Jax: Especially now in IELTS, because Disney is throwing like, here's $7 million. Like, it's hard to tell somebody, no, they're throwing that much money at you. And you're only 18. Greg: Yeah, only 18 and your parents are. Jax: Your engine might not be coming from the best situation, like, for real, so. Greg: Yeah, your parents' eyes is just as big as yours when they see certain figures that they've never seen in their lifetime. So it's just, and it's hard for me to be, know, what am I supposed to do? Call you a coon? Over going? Jax: Later, bro. Like some of y'all are coons, but you're not a coon for going. You're a coon for your other actions, but you need to hang out with me. Yeah. Greg: For sure. You plenty of other actions that we can you know condemn you for but You know, how am I how am I supposed to just if old missus the one that's giving you the most money and you live in a fucking shack I It's kind of like it's hard for me to be like ⁓ Jamis you can't go to Florida State Look where that nigga used to live Respectfully, obviously, but like bro, these niggas coming up kind of crazy And I think a lot of people don't talk about we talked about this last time A lot of people don't bring this up as much or as as often because NIO NIO dominates everything and it gives you this false perception that it's like the justice the same as basketball culture where only nepotism is the one that's surviving and in football. That's just not the case. There are still niggas getting it out the mud. These are still broke as well. I don't want to disrespect people, but you know, mean like living as you know, VJ edge comb type stories living off a generator for seven years, but Jax: Yeah, no, good saying though. Greg: because NIL is being thrown in niggas faces and stuff like that, like or the perception around it. And we look at all the great cases of somebody making 42 mil or 17 mil or whatever the fuck's going on. You think that. The second string running back is is up there. ⁓ you got it. No, you don't. And this shit can get cut at any time because he's a second string running back. So is what it is, man, like it's going to take a lot. Jax: Yeah. Greg: But I think this is a this is a this is a step in the right direction because I'm still under the notion that overcorrection. I'm I'm not opposed to overcorrection just to get to a middle ground. If you overcorrect it and it doesn't work, I'm at least at least we're getting somewhere instead of just, oh, well, what do you do? We can't fix it. We're just going to keep it how it is and don't change shit. I don't know. Jax: That's a good point by you. if these athletes even listen to this, who knows? But like you said, it could be a step in the right direction. Now, a step in the wrong direction is, well, I mean, I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but Jackson Dart. Greg: Could be. Yikes. Jax: He introduced Donald Trump ahead of a speech in New York City. Of course he did. We shouldn't have been surprised by this. This fuck ass music. Greg: Hey, hey, hey, respectfully, respectfully, that nigga was on dick. Why did you have to say the initial to Donald J. Trump? Nobody told you to say that. That's crazy. Get off your knees. Jax: SMH's bro. But like, he tricked people because he wear chains and he dance to Youngboy and stuff. This is still, and he went to, where he go? The Ole Miss or whatever, all them black people. Like this is still a white boy from Utah, Like we shouldn't have been surprised. And honestly. Greg: That nigga went to school in Ole Miss. Voluntarily. Did not have to get it out the butt. Jax: But I do like that Abdul Carter, his teammate who was also drafted last year, the good teammate, the actual successful teammate, he went and quoted his, I thought that he was AI, what are we doing? He said, what? Greg: Let's let's settle down. He said the good teammate was so down that he has his own issue. He has his own issues. The niggas been. Jax: The better teammate, the better teammate. The one, I think teammate who actually has a chance to be good, because keeping it being Jackson Dark, like, well, I mean, I've been saying he's not even good for real. So he's doing all this extra shit, whatever, dog. Greg: Better than both. OK, I just to I just. No, I'm saying I just I test your you know, your ass meter based off of the bonus bonus is like my like my. My test of OK, how bad is he? On them. Jax: They're both it. Don't get me wrong. Both of them are good. He just got here, so he's still a little bit. He's still like rookie bad. Bon X, he's bad, but like. Greg: Think a bone next just got here two years ago. Jax: Bonix is 37 years old. Greg: Well, okay. You put it like that. Jax: So. Bonix has been bad everywhere, but Jackson was serviceable at Ole Miss. Bonix was bad everywhere, even as a pro though, Jackson is still not better than Bonix. And I don't like any of those quarterbacks, but yeah, it's just, what are we doing? That's all I got to say. What are we fucking doing, bro? And this comes after what? Trump. He tried to sue the IRS for $10 billion in the IRS, was like, no. So then the attorney general was like, you know what, we'll just drop this whole case and instead just use $2 billion of taxpayer money to personally give to Donald Trump so he can do whatever he wants. It's just, I don't fucking get it, bro. I don't get it. I hate these niggas, man. I can't stand it. Greg: Yeah, gas prices is too damn high for me to be pissed off about shit like this. Like I, I never first of all, I don't I don't invite white people to the cookout. So this was never going to be a surprise to me. Like that nigga plays football is from Utah and was a quarterback for Ole Miss and his name is Jackson with an S. And you think I'm supposed to like, ⁓ trust him? No. I don't trust any Jackson with an S. If you have an S in your Jackson, I'm not with it. Look, I'll here. ⁓ Jax: Exactly. Greg: This yeah, I'm not I'm not I'm not with it ⁓ And Abdul Carter is Muslim. So he's gonna keep this tweet. He's not deleting He's not he's not deleting this at all actually ⁓ So he'll probably have a conversation with Jackson or or not Actually, I don't actually don't give a fuck about the Giants enough to care ⁓ Jax: you I hope we don't. Yeah, hopefully this causes the downfall of their organization. Hopefully it causes some infighting. I don't fucking like that. Greg: Yeah, like, I don't get fucking hardballed there, nigga. Who cares? NFC East, let's call the truce real quick and let's dedicate beating these niggas. Like blowing these niggas out by 50. Jax: Have you seen or? That would I'm going to be the worst team in the division. Greg: They will be the worst team in the division. Because why would they be better than the commanders? Why would they ever be there? Jax: Peace. I Commander was a a** last season too. Greg: Yeah, but Jaden Daniels was going through injury. Jax: there. Greg: And that's just well, I mean you believe in cam scatable all of a sudden like what's going on? Okay, so what's the issue? Malik maybe is coming off an ACL. Yeah Jax: Oh, heaven's no, heaven's no. And honestly, believe neighbors, still hurt. He hasn't been cleared yet, which is frightening for him, damn, you tore that shit a long time ago. You haven't been cleared for nothing yet. So that's crazy for him. But that's also the Giants' fault, because they got that weak ass turf. So they made the sandwich, and they got to make it. Or they got to eat it, rather. But moving on from this disgustingness. Greg: Yes. Jax: Greg, it's finally, the end is here, thank God. Greg: The end is here. Whoa. Jax: And this finally. Greg: Man, say it ain't so. Jax: Aaron Rodgers, four time MVP in future Hall of Famer. He did say he will retire after the 2026 season. He said this is it. This is his last season as a professional football quarterback. Yes. This is it. Aaron Rodgers is a known liar. He's a known liar, but I think he's telling the truth here. ⁓ Greg: Damn. I mean, he could tell the truth. I genuinely, I genuinely believe that Tom Brady really believed that he was going to the first time. And then that Green Goblin mask came up and he said, I wait, I wait. I'm lying. Nigga lost his wife over that. Jax: that Tom Brady's still crazy. Brady's still crazy. Cause he should have retired the last, he should have retired the last Pages for boy. didn't. He damn sure should have retired when he won with the bucks and he didn't. And then he lost his family because of that. is yikes. Greg: them stands. Jesus bro like ⁓ It's nuts out here, man. Jax: And I don't know if there's been a, or maybe this is just recency bias, but like a perception fall of like an all time great has like taken such a nose dive as like Aaron Rodgers. like, even like, like before the pandemic, everybody loved Aaron Rodgers. And then the pandemic came and he started talking a little too much and everybody just got fed up with him and completely annoyed with him. And now nobody really likes him. Greg: Nose dive. I don't know. Well, when you say nobody, are you talking about like fans? OK. I was like, feel like Aaron Rodgers has been the same nigga his whole life. And there was always like those always players that used to come out and say, oh, this nigga's a dickhead, this nigga's an asshole, X, Z. But. Jax: Yeah, fans. I'm pretty sure players are... But we just didn't know it for good. Greg: Well, mean, we knew it is just the fact that that was a generational talent and that was extremely good at football. And the way that nigga throws a hell Mary pass. Yeah, I don't give a fuck that a wide receiver ⁓ is pissed off right now. We can just blame that with just being the diva wide receiver. I don't care if he's not cool with his family. Kobe Bryant was a cool with his family. I mean, generational talent. But once your talent. Jax: It's magnificent place. I'm sick, you Greg: falls off a little bit or you're not as good as you once are. Then the shit that we kept glossing over is actually. We're just I don't know if I don't know if I like this guy. You never did like this guy. You just like this play. That's cool. The Steelers will have a conversation, though, about just I might have to do a blind ranking of all time great quarterbacks. that in their career with the Steelers or put on a Steelers uniform on the back end of their career. Because. Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson, Michael Vick, like this, like I'm like, man, like I'm like, man, y'all love y'all love going to Pittsburgh as your your second to last stop your last stop. You be having some moments and not like they're just all the way as. Jax: I just was like. Greg: But you're obviously not your peak version of yourself when you get to the Pittsburgh. Jax: Realistically, like before we move on from this, like, I don't, what was the sealer thought process behind it? Like they didn't do anything to get a quarterback in any draft, didn't do anything in free agent. They even had like Malik Willis they didn't do. We don't know if he's gonna be good yet, but like still they didn't get him, their head coaching certs, they got Mike McCarthy of all people. And I was a mic cry didn't even like each other for at the end of Green Bay. Like I don't their defense is still like the oldest defense in the NFL. They didn't get younger. They the receiving core just added Michael Pittman who no disrespects Michael Pittman, but like niggas Michael Pittman. Like he not he cool sometimes sort of kind of this is like and they're in detail like arguably the toughest division in NFL. I don't get why they did it. They got the brown so it's not Greg: I mean Yeah. Jax: can't be that tough for real. like, what are we, what the hell are we doing Steelers? Like I'm, I'm glad I'm not a Steelers fan because I would be, I'd be pissed off with this whole off season. I don't think they made, they haven't made any good moves out in my opinion. Greg: Uh-oh. Why stop there? Call Greg, Greg Jennings. Call Eddie Lacey while we're at it. Let's just make the 2010s Green Bay Packers. Let's just do it. Fuck it. That's what y'all doing. You got Mike McCarthy, you got Aaron Rodgers. Why stop there? You got everything else. I'm just going to appreciate ⁓ or at least attempt to appreciate till he pisses me off. Jax: Thank Greg: You know, Aaron Rodgers, he might give me one of those Joe Flacco games again. You know, I might get a little vintage Aaron Rodgers here and there. Jax: I think for sure we're gonna have like, out of 17 games, at least three of them are gonna be like, he's gonna do some cold shit in at least three of them. like, still there's still nothing to be good. If they make the, they're not gonna win anything if they make the playoffs. They're gonna get bounced. Like, I don't even think they're making the playoffs. I I haven't looked at their schedule or nothing, but I just, I don't think they're gonna make the fucking playoffs. So, this is the whole, I don't get it, but fuck it. Greg: Ugh, you know, fuck it, why not? Jax: Why not? Should just tank. Should just tank. Really? Yeah. That's why, that's why they got rid of Mike Tomlin. Cause they're like, he won't tank them. Let's get Mike McCarthy. Mike McCarthy, I don't think he's a good coach, but like he's not really a tanker either. So I don't know, man. I guess bro, but let's move on to basketball. Cause some more confusing stuff happens. Greg: I don't know how to do that. Really. Jax: Jason Kidd is out as head coach of Dallas Mavericks. New Mavericks, President Masayu Jerry, who came from the Raptors, decided, you know what? I don't need Jason Kidd no more. And that feels very crazy to me, because I don't think Jason Kidd is a bad coach. Like I know everybody, like there's so many stories about how he's an asshole and everybody doesn't like him. So I guess that played a huge factor into it. Cause like he's notoriously unliked in NBA circles, but it's just like, damn, really? One year in the Cooper flag thing, you just fired the head coach. And who was the, who are you going to hire? So. Greg: ⁓ Yeah, who who they who they're going to hire is probably going to be the bigger question. But after looking up a lot of stuff. Yeah, Jason Kidd was probably going to get let go even before Masai Ujiri got there because he was a plot like I think he when I'm mistaken, he. Interviewed for, I think, like, I don't know if it was basketball operations at one of those like a one of those jobs, I know if it's like GM or whatever, but one of the jobs that's above him ⁓ with the Mavericks and he didn't get it. ⁓ And most of the time when a coach doesn't get something that's, know, that he's trying to go for above within the organization, most of the time they don't stay too much longer after being told, hey, no, we don't want you to move up. I don't know a successful coach that's. gotten denied a position like that and then still kept coaching. It just doesn't happen like that. So when Masai Ujiri came in, I don't know his relationship with Jason Kidd at all or whatever. I don't think they have one for real. I think when it comes to like a Masai Ujiri, I think with him, he's just like, yo, it's a new spot. This is a new. Jax: Yeah. Greg: thing, the only thing that's for certain and all of this is I can't change my owners and we're not moving off of Cooper flag. Those are the only stationary things that are not moving. Everything else can get changed. I might as well just start fresh with things that I want off rip. Versus getting here and he's not bad, but he's not my guy. I'm just going to to trust him. And then we waste two years and then I got to blame the coach and use you as a scapegoat anyway, just to buy myself some more time. ⁓ because we don't agree with the vision that we're both trying to go for. not on the same. We we may both have ⁓ successful ideologies, but they're in separate, completely different, you know, different ways of thinking. So that can that can also strain, ⁓ you know, that can also hinder our process, especially when you're dealing with young players. So I'm I'm just I'm just a little surprised. Jax: here. Greg: on who the next person is going to be. I think that's why people are kind of scratching their heads. If there was like a I wouldn't even want. Jax: There's like a standout name. Honestly, I can't think of one right now. I can't think of any. There was a crazy. Greg: Like, honestly, like. Like if Jamal, if Jamal Moseley was still out there, maybe because he's a great developmental coach. So I can understand that aspect, but he got picked. He got swooped up by New Orleans so fucking quick. Oh, shit. I ain't seen the coach get picked up that quick in a minute. Shit, even Mike Malone stayed out a little a little year before taking that North Carolina job. That nigga got a job in like three days. Jax: Mike Malone, I think he wanted to take that year off though, like, cause he could have, he could have got a job like that if he was Mike Malone. Mike Malone, everybody, he's a relatively good coach. So he just ain't wrong. Greg: Yeah. Yeah, I think but I also think jamal mosley didn't care. ⁓ if it was championship caliber or not So when Jax: When you're black, you really can't care sometimes, You might not get this chance again. Greg: You're right. know, it's yes. You got a point there. But yeah, I'm just. Jax: Well, there's a kid in the black crew, never mind. Technically he's black. I guess so. Greg: I think I think there's still white people in this universe that don't know that chasing kids black and I think that's the problem You're lonely Jax: Brother, I did not know that. I first learned that, was like, I think I was like in middle school or whatever. It was when he was still playing, he was like, he's black. I was like, what are you talking about? I'm looking at a white man on my TV screen. What are you talking about? He's black. He's like, oh no, look at old pictures of him. And I'm like, he just had like the weird Justin Timberlake haircut. I'm like, he's still, he's just doing shit. He put text writer in the hair. There's still a white man, but no, he black. He put some bullshit in his head, bro. He's still white, but no, he black. So, all right, I guess. Greg: He said he put a text around. Niggas say you put s curl in his shit No, I think I've been seeing reports that are you know the usual ⁓ We're gonna interview a woman just to be progressive. We were gonna bring in Dawn Staley for an interview Even though Don Know I'm saying they're not you know, of course, they're not gonna bring it. Of course. They're not gonna ⁓ You know take this, you know, I'm not gonna see taking serious Jax: No way. mean, they might bring her in, but she's not getting fucking- Wait, do you think there will ever be a woman head coach in the NBA? Greg: ⁓ no, no. ⁓ If it does happen, I'll have gray hairs. For sure. I'll have gray hairs. But I think just just Jax: Me, I don't think so. ⁓ Greg: Just off of the rip of like having what ⁓ these interviews to begin with, I guess it pushes the needle to a certain degree. But even Don Staley knows like, yo, like, I'm not, you know, ⁓ I'm not I'm not interviewing thinking that I'm actually getting these jobs like I'm I'm doing it to push this forward. So like the next person behind me actually gets that opportunity because I think she said something a long time ago talking about. Yeah. When you bring in your first woman head coach, you got to prepare for that. Like you got to Jax: Yeah. Greg: have things in place for that. can't just be like, fuck it, we gonna try it. No, like you gotta really, you know, you gotta just, just like, just like everything else. Yeah. Jax: What? That's an undertone. I can't even imagine what that first woman head goes through, to be honest with you. I don't think it's gonna happen, that first woman, you gotta know you walked into a minefield and everybody wants to kill you. Greg: Exactly, you gotta prepare. Yeah. Yeah. There's no sense. So that's why that's why I was like, yeah, I only do it just to progress women in general. I don't come into these interviews thinking I'm actually going to this job, but I'm here to add, you know, ask those tough questions to the other side or to the ownership or whatever, because these are questions that you need to be thinking about, because as a man, you're not thinking about these kind of questions when it pertains to women. It takes a woman's perspective to even, you know, have certain things. Oh, I didn't even think about this. I didn't even a locker room, all this stuff. So all this stuff is fair. So no. And long short answer. No. But, you know, Becky Hammond and and Don Staley, they do their things to keep pushing the game forward. think Becky Hammond was the best, ⁓ the closest we was going to get with the Spurs. Jax: Yes sir. For sure. It's going to for sure be like, it's going to continue to be like women assisting coaches for sure. But just like head coach. Greg: Yeah, it's gonna be, it's gonna be tough. It's gonna be tough. And the dams are not gonna be in New York or some shit like that. Jax: We spoke about it little bit, just to touch on it real fast. Jamal Mosley got fired by Magic just to get hired by the Pelicans really fast. I said, fire your contract. ⁓ I'm not mad at this because I don't think he was necessarily that bad at Orlando. think his message just sort of got a little stale with them. ⁓ And the Pelicans, don't, they should have never gave up their draft pick, but I like Derek Queen. They should never get up that draft pick still, but even so, like, I think the Pelicans do have something. Like I think Jeremiah Feard is good. Derek Queen, needs to, he needs to improve on defense 100,000%. But I do like what he can bring to you on offense. They have promising pieces, I feel like, in New Orleans. So I'm not, and he's known to develop people so I could. Greg: you Jax: I can see it working out a little bit. So hopefully it works, Frank. Greg: We do not care. We do not care. It's like, bro, like you like when you say these things, like we can like turn the clock back every year, every two years, every three years, every four years with this organization and say, yeah, we have promising pieces. They've been having promising pieces since 2019, brother, like. Jax: Also true. Greg: I'm not ⁓ I'm not moved until they start moving pieces until they start trading some pieces and really committing to the young promising pieces that they have. It's not going to work out with Zion. Just just admit it. If Zion should not be a fucking Pelican. No, you're not going to get equal value for this nigga because I don't even know what the real value of this nigga is anymore. ⁓ What is. They need to they need to trade. That's the best. That's the best. ⁓ Jax: The end. is ⁓ ⁓ You think they're gonna trade Trey Murphy? Like that's another thing that people like. Greg: Draft cap, I'm not gonna draft cap, cool. Jax: Cause you'll get stuff back for like, granted people don't really like Zion, or his Q rating is down now for Zion, like, you'll still get something back for Zion, but you're gonna, I feel like you can get a nice little, a little nice little something from him. Greg: You can get something nice. You can get that is your best asset buy for is Trey Murphy trade him trade Trey Murphy and get some pieces back. ⁓ So you can really nobody nobody is what are you talking about? Nobody is healthy. This team is not healthy at the same time Jax: Awesome. No, and that's the whole training staff's fault. It's their ownership's fault because the person who owns the New Orleans Saints is the same person who owns the Pelicans and they be sharing doctors, facilities, all that. It's literally the owner's fault. Greg: Y'all overworking y'all people, This is shit crazy. Jax: I'm trying to see who else is on the Pelicans or Oscar that couldn't get moved. Herb Jones. People would like that. If you came marry people would. They can get some stuff. They could get some stuff. Greg: I mean, Herb, yeah, Herb Jones. ⁓ Yeah, the only two like the only two people that are not going anywhere is. ⁓ Jeremiah Fears and Derek and Derek Queen only because they gave up an unprotected first. He could have definitely been a trading ⁓ a trade bargain, but it's just like now we did too much to come get you and nobody told us to do what we did anyway. We got to live with this. Jax: Is Fears? Yeah, Fears and Queen. Greg: W or L it depends on what you end up becoming but we got it. We got to see you through but design getting rid of Zion Trey Murphy and Herb Jones so you can commit to a true rebuild can get you some nice assets like trade them now they keep losing stock every fucking season. Y'all not going anywhere. Jax: because they keep me the corner. People want these, like, well, like I said, I don't know the market for Zion, people would like, like the Lakers, they would have loved to hurt Jones. They would have loved somebody that could play defense. So yeah, you can get something for these people. So Pelicans, need to figure it out. Don't play in Jamal's ugly face. Now the moment we've all been waiting for though. Greg: The Rock is what loved Trey Murphy, nigga. A shooter? Yes. Jax: It happened again, back to back. Shay Gilder Alexander is your MVP, averaging 31.1 points a game, 6.6 assists, 4.3 rebounds, too consistent. He plays every game like it's the exact same, quite literally. can, like, can just really, he average 30, can book it, he's gonna get 30 or somewhere close to it every single game. Greg: Hmm. Jax: No one can stop him, even Wimby. They're trying real hard. It's not really working for real. The only thing that can stop SGA is SGA himself. If he just have an off game, he don't really have those for real. back to back, well deserved. I believe was Wimby second in voting or was Jokic second in voting? I can't remember, but I know the top three went SGA, Wimby, Jokic in some order. But yeah, are we about to say my vote? Greg: ⁓ yeah. Yeah, I think I think it was Yogi's but who knows Jax: Man, this is your back to back MVP. it, it's not yet time for the, or conversations are getting sort of uncomfortable, but if they end up winning this championship, those uncomfortable conversations are going to happen. Greg: What uncomfortable conversation are you referring to? Jax: I'm saying who is he better than they're going to start putting him in top what top three point guard conversations. Greg: Yeah. I'm not OK. I'm not mad. mean. Well, he. I'm saying he's not. He's not he's not going to Chris Paul or something like was he going. Jax: two championship back to back MVPs. I don't think he's top three point guard, but niggas hate my ranking. ⁓ no, No, that's not like... Niggas gonna hate my rankings. That's why I'm like... They're probably not uncomfortable for me at all. Greg: He knocking up John Stockton or something? Jax: ⁓ for sure, I don't give a fuck. Fuck John Stockton. Greg: Okay, ⁓ you're not gonna have rest or something? Jax: I mean, he already did that respectfully. Greg: Okay, I want to see where your head was at. So it was just it's so it's Steph CP3 and then SGA. Jax: for sure, for sure. I hate to say that too. I hate to say that too. Nah, I'd give it, I think SGA, like I said, if he wins the championship, he could end up being five, because I go like, Steph or Magic is a toss up, but I'd go Steph because I've seen Steph play, so I go Steph, I go Magic. I want to go Chris, you know, it's my ranking, so I'm gonna go Chris Paul, of course. And then I go Isaiah Thomas, because that nigga was like 5'11 winning championships in the 80s. So I do that. And then I probably SGA after that. niggas can't, Steve Nash, don't give a fuck about. Ooh, back back MVP. This nigga, MVP was like 15 and 10, bro. I don't give a fuck about that Steve Nash shit. Greg: Okay. Yeah. Jax: Russ, I love Russ to death, but he just didn't get the, he didn't get the, he got one MVP and he averaged a triple double, but he didn't get the chips. So I can't have him up there. Oscar Robertson. Honestly, that's a valid argument. I don't know enough because I wasn't there. but yeah, could. SGA for short top five if he gets the championship in my opinion. Greg: I mean, I guess I'm not here to argue with you. ⁓ I don't know the right answer because I'm still processing that this nigga is a point guard. So. Jax: Yeah, he's really not a point guard, but there's that. It's crazy because he's not a point guard, but they have him playing point guard. And then James Harden is not the shooting guard, but they have him as like a shooting guard for real. James Harden's probably been a point guard longer in his career than a shooting guard. Greg: I'm saying like they be talking about old him or D way and I'm like these niggas play styles is like this nigga might as well be in point guard conference. I think I've asked my Jax: Well, Dan, Dan Harden has to play point guard in like seven seasons. I mean, he has to play shooting guard in like seven seasons. Greg: That nigga hasn't played shooting guards since they traded Jeremy Lin. Oh, I'll take that back. Chris Paul was there. Well, Chris, had a two year window where Chris... Jax: But even then, was like, niggas was two point cards, bro. He was doing everything like A to Z. Greg: Yeah, true, because they were staggering. They were staggering minutes to hear. But yeah, committing to playmaking. Yeah, he's been committed to playmaking since like 2014. Like this is fucking crazy. Yeah. don't like what like realistically, James Harden should be in these point guard, all time point guard conversations, but we never put him in there. I don't give a fuck about the deal. I don't care. I don't give a fuck about no D way debate where he ranked with the point guards. Jax: Exactly. I don't think we'll ever do it. That's a whole nother, like, that's a whole nother argument to sit with. Greg: That's that's another argument for sure. But like that's that's the kind of show I'm talking about. Like we know as you really ain't no point point guard where he's tackled with the shooting guards, the real scores. Because he's a a he's top score. Jax: You start going with If you do go in with the shooting guards, he's top five shooting guards too as well. Like go MJ, go Kobe. Yeah. Greg: Are you talking about all time? Jax: If you call FDA shooting guard, because you go MJ, you go MJ, go Kobe, you go D-Way. Greg: I was just, I would just, I would just have to go. heart? Jax: You could go James Harden, you could go SGA, either or. I take both of over AI, no disrespect. Who else I'm thinking of? Was Dr. J a shooting guard? I don't think so. But like, yeah, if you have him shooting guard, he's top five shooting guard. Like, who else? Greg: No, I just have to like think about like all the shooting. I have to go back and think about the shooting girls. I have to do my homework on that. Jax: Don't think it's that many good shoes like it's maybe I'm saying it's sort of wrong, but there's not that many Greg: No, we were talking about like there's not a lot of superstar shooting guards. There's not there's not because because you have your drop off and then at some point you get down to like Klay Thompson, which is great. That's not a superstar. Yeah, yeah. Klay Klay Thompson, Monu Janobli, Vince Carter, like you're you're getting into like those kind of rams in the society. OK, cool. Whatever. But that was that wasn't really the conversation. I was here to give SGA his flowers. But, um, you know, shut up down. Jax: Exactly. Who is him? Clayton Hall of Famer, monster, but like he not in the, not these other players. Well deserved, well deserved. And we talking basketball, let's go get to these playoffs, man. That's fitting, because we're gonna talk about the Thunder first. Greg: ⁓ wow. Fitting the thunder Audio listeners gonna think that was the soundboard. No it wasn't. No it was not. Jax: Hahaha But this series has been War. This year have been war to say the least. OKC had a 2-1 lead over the Spurs. They just won last night. Starting with game one, the Spurs. Wimby. They didn't want me to start with game one. They didn't me to start with game one. But not. That was when SGA got the MVP award. Wimby saw that. I'm not gonna. Greg: Cinema. Cinema. Damn, I told you to stay with me. Jax: People were like, oh my gosh, Wimby was so mad when that happened. Just look at his face, like maybe, but I don't, I think people was dragging that out for real. But Wimby went crazy during that game one. He finished with 40 and 20. They won in a double overtime game. Game two, okay, see. You say what? fault? Nigga. He shot that through from the same place Steph Curry shot, I like. Greg: They drug him. Deep three pointer. Deep as three pointer. Hahaha! Jax: Like there was like a candle in my room, whatever like that whole like he shot that thing when I was like what the fuck is going on? It was a magic. It's crazy. But But what was I gonna say? Oh, yeah, but game two. Okay, see came through bill game three Is game to start off here? They still have a team zero as a starting I say I was like that's just a 15-0 but not Coming back winning by 15. Hello Greg: It is. ⁓ So, I'm gonna do it again. You know what mean? Jax: But yeah, SGA, had his most point guard game of the playoff with 12 assists. He was really dicing them up with the passes. But I still, like, I'm going OKC, but I still think he's going seven games because the Spurs are scary, The Spurs are scary. Greg: Yeah, they care like the like with game three. The best thing that happened because I kept going in and out because I was doing some other work, but I was like, man, they just can't crack that. They can't get past that 10 point deficit like they can't overcome that. Like, don't get down and then like they'll start rallying. And once it gets to like eight points or either OKC call that time out or. Jax: Thank Greg: They fix some shit up, whatever happens, happens. Jax: Paul, gonna turn him out. Remember that Kenny Atkinson, you have timeouts. You can use them timeouts. We'll get to him later. We'll get him later. Greg: Yeah, that's fucking us. Yeah, we'll get you. We'll get you all very soon because y'all is getting spooky over there. But ⁓ the problem with. Me have a confidence in OKC like winning this like in dominant fashion is the fact that get a game like this happens and y'all are in San Antonio. So them niggas just went straight to the film room and Coach Pop was there with his cane like. They didn't even get undressed for real. Like they went to just straight watching film and I know they gonna have something for that as on game four. Jax: For what is where Coach Pop was, Coach Pop talked with him before this game, yeah before game three he popped talk with him. Greg: For sure. like Coach Pop saw what happened in this game and said, ⁓ we got you in game four, nigga. Hey, don't worry. And Coach and Pops mind. Yo, we could have overcame this if I was just on the bench. Like there was just some things I saw in real time. Now, he's going to be like, yeah, it's going to be what you got it like, just like the men of field coaches when they are they talking to some people up top and. Jax: He was live in the building. the- the- the- ⁓ ⁓ yeah. Greg: I think out there with the the headphones and shit, whatever, with the whole whatever mic'd up. But, yeah, I'm this is this is the series I've been waiting for. I've been saying this for like two, two series ago, even when the Rockets were still playing. I'm like, look, I'm here to see the Spurs and OKC Thunder. They got like I'm I'm I'm waiting for them niggas to meet up. I would hate for them to fall short by the timber wood, because I know I know they don't have enough. They have heart. They don't have enough heart. Jax: Niggas been saying this for too many years. Greg: OK, seeing them. So I do think I do think it will go seven and. I OKC might just pull it out if it does go seven. But I don't know. Jax: The only hindrance I see ⁓ to have this not go seven on the Spurs side is because they've gotten a couple, yes, JW is hurt for OKC, but respectfully, he's been out pretty much the entire season. They've been sort of fine without him. But with the Spurs, what were you about to say? Greg: And I think I think And I would say respectfully, think J. Dub is I think he's done for the scene, to honest with you. Yeah. Jax: I do as well. He probably should be, cause like, Anthony Andrews ain't nothing to play with for real. But, ⁓ Greg: Yes, it's gonna be bad. you, you gotta rest that shit. And they did a good job. Like they rested for like a whole month and some change. But you never know what the hamstring. Jax: But like I saying on the spare side though, ⁓ Darren Fox, he was out the first two games, he came back game three, he played pretty much like the fourth quarter and then he ended up. twisting his ankle going for a loose ball or something like that. So he ended up having to sit out for a little bit and then Dylan Harper is going through some hand string issues as well. So those are the only thing I can see that would make it hard for them to take it to seven, especially because like Stefan Castle as good as we think he is, he's been having a turnover issue like crazy. And that's why they that's why the sort of need De'Aaron Fox back to be that lead guard because Castle he don't got it just yet. So yeah. Greg: Yeah, we'll see. We'll see how it pans out. I just think. The way the Spurs play basketball, it's hard for me to not see them go seven. Like they just they just play a crazy brand of basketball right now, so. Jax: And like, no matter what, you still have that seven foot six sharp shooting ball handler. Greg: That seven foot six, seven foot six nigga monster like that bro like he is different. That's a different. Jax: Like he can't he's a he's a threat to go 40 20 with five blocks every single game. That's really good That's why you can't count them out just cuz they got wimby, bro Greg: and hates that American white man. Jax: I'm starting to that American white man too. Cause like, yes, okay, see his winning, but for what it's worth, is actually like, he hasn't been messed up with Wimby that much. Cause that's also another annoying thing. But when he has been on Wimby, he can actually guard him pretty well. like Chet hasn't really been showing up for, think, what did he have last game? Let me look at the box score real fast before we, I don't think he did. I don't think he did. Yeah, 14. I don't think he's cracked 20 any of these games. Greg: You probably have like 20. ⁓ no. What's this? What is she looking like? Jax: Yeah, like he hasn't really, hasn't really, hasn't really came to play grand. He was five for seven, but like my nigga J-Dub out. Do a little something, something more, but. Greg: Lou Dore, my nigga, what's up? Cardio. Jax: He's there to play defense, bro. You don't need points from Lou Dort when Jaylen Williams got 18, Alex Crusoe got 15, Jarrad McCann got 24. You don't need Lou Dort right now. You just need him to be physical. Greg: Jalen Williams, the real J-Dub. Jax: And then low key, thing, like, I remember, I think I said this last finals, and was like, Alex Caruso should have been finals MVP. And like, of course I was like in jest, but also like, niggas get what I'm saying now. Cause Alex Caruso in the playoffs, is a valuable ass nigga, bro. Like, he do it all. And they're trying to leave him open from three. He's like, you know what? I'ma shoot that motherfucker. And I'ma, he had 30 points first game. Like, what are we talking about, bro? Alex Caruso is valuable as a- Greg: Nah, for real, bro. In the fact... enough and the fact and the fact that the Lakers did not keep this nigga is so insane to me that's so crazy to me nigga look at this nigga Jax: Okay. Shout out to Chicago Bulls, giving everybody these valuable pieces while your team is just terrible. Thank you. From the bottom of my heart. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Greg: niggas just a fire them niggas them niggas have a fire sale once every three years with great assets good good assets to them but great as greater assets to other people damn Jax: It works for everybody. Thank you. But let's go ahead and talk about the Eastern playoff before we wrap this up. And this might go by fast because good Lord, man, I believed in you. Did I believe in the Cavs? I think I believed in the Cavs a little bit. I can't remember who I said was gonna win. But game one, Cavs was up what, 30? Something crazy like that. Greg: Absolutely. I don't know who you said, I don't see. some crazy 27 I think there's something like that. Jax: Yeah, and got walked down by the Knicks. Jalen Brunson went absolutely insane. I think at one point it was like 14 straight points, I believe. I could have that number wrong, but he was... Greg: Yeah, no, it felt like 20 straight points. was I was at the gym when that shit happened. Me, me and another. There's another nigga there. He was a Knicks fan. I did. Well, I just assumed that nigga just said yes after every shot. I just assumed he was a fan. I'm out here doing chess press and I had to like stop my little chess press. Just like, hold on. Just nigga. It was just down to me, too. We down six. Call it timeout. Why y'all just letting this nigga play? Jax: Man, what? There you go! Bro, they came back from that. Like I said, it might've been 27 points or whatever, but like they, the cab didn't call a single timeout, brother. Do something like, do something to stop momentum, bro. I know people like, ⁓ momentum is not real, blah, blah, blah. No, yes it is. Do something to stop that. Greg: I don't like this. Yes it is, bro. What the fuck? Who said that dumbass shit? Jax: No, like that's a lot of things. That's a lot of a lot of analytics. People are say stuff like that because it's not like you can't quantify momentum because it's not a thing. But like it is a thing because it's it's energy. It's an emotion. It's a feeling. It's a it's a whatever you want to call it. Goddamn spirit. I don't know what you want to call it, but it's for sure a thing. And you ain't do nothing to slow down that momentum at all. Like I said, the Knicks got walk. Nothing. The Cavs got walked down at the end. Knicks won that. And Charles Barker, because this is on ESPN, Charles Barker, he said after the game, he was like, they're gonna, he was like, the are gonna lose this series just because after this one game, and you can tell why. And then we get to game two, which was a couple nights ago. Not more of the same thing, but like the game was, Knicks won 109-93, the game wasn't that close. Keep the mean with you, it wasn't that close, regardless. Josh Hardy had 26, Donovan Mitchell, he also had 26, but like. Damn right, like the Cavs ain't been looking too good. Not even Mitchell hasn't really had a good game, especially this last game. Like, cause I was watching that game and I texted you, cause I thought, I thought the Cavs were winning this whole time because like I wasn't really paying that much attention, but like I would see them, they'd be doing good. They cross the nigga up. They'd be getting good shots, but like they literally just missed all of them. And that's why they lost that game. Cause they were doing everything. Like their offense was running smooth. They just missed shots and that's the Cavs problem. So. I think, I hope it don't happen like this, because that's a terrible way to go out and niggas always going to James Harden, but I don't want Donald Mitchell to end up becoming one. Because I just hate when niggas start like narratives about the player and how they're a playoff dropper and you can't win with them anymore. I hate shit like that. But if they get swept, which I think there's a real good chance of that happening, like that's going to be the narrative around Mitchell and James Harden, even though I feel like it's a little bit unfair to Mitchell. Greg: Yeah. I think the I think they'll give that more to James Horton to Donovan Mitchell because people still remember what he used to do in Utah like he'll lose but it'll be awful like a 50 point point. It's definitely not a triple double but like a 50 point loss against fucking Denver but you had 50 or 49 or 48 in an elimination game and you gave it your all. So I think a lot of times with Donovan I think he's a lot. Jax: you Greg: think it's a little too passive sometimes. He just allows like James Harden to like do his thing first. And there'd be time, there'd be time. I'm like, hey, my nigga, take the ball, rotate the ball and go hoop, nigga. Like. Jax: Yeah. I get James the point and everything, but like you be letting Sam Merrill get up shots and he is shooter and all that. like it's it's possessed with Don Mitchell. don't touch that. I'm like brother you We see you cook in the playoffs before like go get the ball. Go go do some. These niggas can't guard you. Greg: Yeah, my hell mom, bro at all bro like they cannot fuck with you but on the other side it looked like these niggas can't fucking guard Jalen Brunson either. they is like god damn and I ain't gonna lie ⁓ when it comes to Knicks fans I try to like tune them out but I will say they've been saying this one little line for a good little minute I think about three or four months and he was just like everybody better than everybody better than Jalen Brunson until it's time to be better than Jalen Brunson. Jax: Good day. Man, that ain't, that's not no lie. That's not a lie at all. Cause you know, let's see. Greg: And I used to I'm like, fuck, yo, that's not a fucking like them niggas, man said it. Jax: towards the end of the season and watching some of playoff games, was like, man, I think Donovan Mitchell, he might really be like, he wanted him once, he's probably better than No, he's not, bro. No disrespect to Donovan Mitchell, but when it's time to be better than Jalen Brunson, nobody better than Jalen Brunson, bro. Greg: Not he's not bro. Jalen Bronson just when it's time to when you got the rankings of everybody better everybody. He got higher upside bro when the playoffs happen. Jax: Yeah, like when the ball on the court, like, oh, Jaylen Brunsey can't really defend. He's not super athletic. He's not this. He's not that. He's dropping 35 points on your head. There's nothing you can do about it. He's six foot. He's six feet tall dropping 37 on you. Like, what are we talking about? And he's going do that to anybody. Greg: You can't guard that man. And there's nothing you can do about it, He was doing a bro six feet even. Hahahaha Yeah, I just don't like how the Cavaliers are approaching this like they're approaching this like they did every other series where they're just like they're like trying to fill the series out like you don't have enough time. You can't go down. ⁓ too, for real. I guess the next nigga like I respectfully. He's not he's not the Pistons. These night. He's not Toronto, nigga, like you can't just go home and just go, OK, we should go get him back at home. That's gonna be tough. Jax: him. Greg: It's gonna be tough, bro. all, both teams that you play, the Knicks were better than them. Like, the Knicks are better than Toronto, and the Knicks have knocked out Detroit before the playoffs last year. ⁓ Jax: And like they have more than one like star on the Knicks. Like they have ⁓ Runson who we already know we just talked about, but they also have Kat. And if Kat's not, Kat ain't been going like super duper crazy, but if Kat's not doing well scoring wise, you have a Josh Hart who've been randomly. Greg: OG. Ew. Jax: Like Josh Hart, can randomly shoot those threes. ⁓ I don't really think that's gonna happen next game, like, shit like that can happen. Then you have Mikhail Bridges who can score. got OG Ananobe who can guard and score. It's just like, it's different. Like the Pistons only had Cade. The Raptors, respectfully, are the Raptors. Scottie Morrill's not really that number one scorer. And Brendan Ingram was hurt all the time. So it's, I don't know, man. Greg: Yeah, it's different. Exactly. Y'all are here talking about Sam Merrill, bitch. They got Deuce McBride. They go like this. There's levels to this. Jose Alvarado be getting some burn. And it's just a he's got active motors. I mean, it was very important for you all to get game one because you all had game one in your hands, bro. That was crazy not to come home with that. That's nuts. Jax: Yeah. Yeah. Greg, I do gotta say, I think it might be that time. Greg: ⁓ shit, our favorite time of the, favorite time of the pod. Jax: you Greg: Shax, what is your high take of the week? Jax: ⁓ I feel like I had another one, but I truthfully cannot remember it. So I will go with, ⁓ something I sort of felt for a very long time and it's fitting because this hot take came when I was listening to Drake and this is a long, long, long, long time ago when Scorpion dropped. Greg: Mmm. Jax: But if you listen to an album on shuffle on your first listen, you are clinically insane and you might kill somebody because who the fuck does that? And I say this came from because when Scorpion dropped, was this was I what year it is. I was a summer camp counselor. Yes, summer camp counselor. we were ⁓ I've had many lies, bro. But we was. Greg: Yahudah zev. 2018. Wow. I just can't imagine that. Jax: We was coming back from Panama City Beach. So it was on a big ass bus ride or whatever. And a scorpion dropped at midnight. So like, you know, we all had our phones and blah, blah, blah. And you know, was Drake. So he was listening to it and everything. And this one girl, she was like, I forget what song she was talking about, but like the album dropped maybe like 15, 20 minutes ago. And she was like, yeah, such and such is a good song. And I was like, what you mean by that? Cause like. I'm literally like 20 minutes ago. How are you saying? Like, what is it? It's probably like Nice For What or something like I think that was on the album. I don't know. But it was like, how do know that song is good? ain't got to that part of the album yet. How do know that? And she was like, oh, yeah, I just put it on shuffle. And I said, what the fuck? I didn't know that was a motherfucking thing. Like, the album is, it got a track list for a reason. You don't. You don't shuffle on your first listen. That's not how you get the full experience of the album. That's what I'm like. If you listen to an album on shuffle, on first listen, hell, on second listen, you can't listen to it on shuffle until your fourth listen, I feel like. Because you need the first listen just to get the run through. ⁓ Greg: I Jax: divide for real, you're probably not catching everything. Second one to catch a little bit more. Third to be like, okay, let me form my final opinion on this bitch. And then shuffle would be like, okay, it just be random songs and that whole. But like, listen to a song, shuffle first, insane, insane. Don't tell me, don't tell me, do it. Oh, I got three. Greg: I'm going be honest with you. I don't shuffle my albums, to be honest with you. Jax: I either. You watch that? I clicked the film I wanted to. Greg: Like, just, like, I'll shuffle my playlist. I'll just make a playlist. But I don't think I just go out my way to just go to a particular album and then press shuffle. I just, I don't, I. Jax: Okay. Yeah, no, that's correct. I like listening to albums all the way through because that's how Greg: If I'm picking up, if I'm if I'm listening to an album, that means I'm just going from top to bottom. Like I literally I listened to views yesterday. Top to bottom. Just I don't know. Like I can't just jump straight to like, what's what's that? A fire and desire. You know, I mean, I got all of my let's just be friends like I got to hear that first. You know, it just marks the beginning of this shit I got going on. Jax: you Greg: But if I just want particular music, then I'll just take those four songs, throw them on the playlist, combine it with some other shit and shuffle that. If I'm just trying to get a workout in. I've never understood just shuffling. think ⁓ I had a similar experience with you. It wasn't Scorpion. was it was actually Travis Scott's. I think it was Astroworld. Yeah, just dropped literally. Jax: Yeah. Thank I could be wrong on island's natural order in minute, but don't think I like transition between stars on that hook. Greg: ⁓ I think towards the end of the songs, it feels like it just naturally flows into the next song. Yeah, I think so. Yeah, like, like we're all talk like we're all like, about the listening to it or whatever. And I'm just getting back to like the very first song. And as I'm about to go like there's another nigga, the party never ends. Hold on, bitch. That's my that's my next. Jax: Yeah, like, are you fucking up the flow with yourself? Like, what are we doing, bro? Like, I get it. Greg: I know that's not your line. You would you would you went five tracks later. No, you can't do that. Actually, give me the fuck out of here. Actually, I'm leaving because y'all y'all skipping this shit. let me show you my first like let me show you my favorite. I don't want to know your favorite yet. You skipped in three, four songs. What if that's not my favorite? That's crazy. Jax: You Thanks. Greg: I completely agree with you, but like I said, I don't think. I think you might be a little crazy at best. If you're just shuffling your albums, just make a playlist. What are you shuffling your album for? Jax: What do you Up here. invalid. Greg: If you're trying to listen to every single song, I don't want to put that in the hands of AI Shuffle. Hell no. I'm out here lifting weights and it's like, fuck it. What's that? One of them one of those songs that's like just uplifted, like upbeat and shit. And as I get to like my last rip and I need that last push, it just switched to all of my let's just be friends. I'm like, come on, gang. I'm I don't got the strength no more. I feel like I lose a little strength when the song just go down. By default. Jax: You Greg: I lose a little strength a little damn let me rack this weight up before I injure myself bro. Fuck no but I agree. I agree. This is actually kind of crazy because I think my hot take is kind of like music-esque too. It's a hot take about gospel music. My hot take about gospel music, I'm going be honest with you, I don't want all of my gospel songs to be self-deprecating music. Like, I don't want to. Jax: All right, break that down and see what you mean. Greg: I don't want to. I don't want all my gospel songs to be like, ⁓ my God, I ain't shibbit. I don't deserve you, but you're a higher Lord. Like, God damn, why do I have to talk shit about myself before giving grace to God in some of these songs? Like all of them, like all of them have to be that I'm not saying I would have to. But like when we when we go when we go to praise and worship, God damn like. It like there's sometimes there was a time where like. Jax: I mean, keep it a mean. They're not like those. Those are true statements. Everything they're saying is true. ⁓ Is it really that mean or that much like self-deprecating? Greg: Yeah, it's true, but it's like damn nigga. OK. But it's not like it's not but like even some sometimes I like I smile, you know, me. Like I like some upbeat stuff, we don't have to take me to the bro when that song first came out. I thought it was a suicidal song, which you mean take me to the king that when I was nine, I'm like Jax: Yeah Greg: You mean I'm not ready to go there yet. Like I. Take me to the world. Relax. Truth is, I'm tired. I get it sounds very suicidal, respectfully. It's like. They come on and it's a great song. It's a great song, man. It's excellent. But when I tell you, yo, I just had like one of the best like. Weeks of like. Jax: It doesn't sound very much like that. Yeah, no, it sounds like you're to go. It sounds like you're ready. Excellent. Excellent. Greg: my childhood life like I didn't got the honor roll. I think I'd be as five, whatever. And I got to go on Sunday. Take me to the game. ⁓ wait. I'm enjoying my life. I'm enjoying my life right now. I don't know. And that don't mean I hate God. I just would have I smile like what's wrong with I smile. What's wrong with other uplifting? Kirk Franklin songs like we don't have to just go here and just because it's upbeat, that doesn't mean that the content is still not self-deprecating. Like, there's times where y'all just uplift just because the drums play a little faster. ⁓ The content of these lyrics still looks sad to me. OK. So if you're if you're conducting praise and worship, I would just like for y'all to have a balance. Make sure you have a balance of like. Jax: Yeah. Throw a couple of happy songs in there. Greg: Yeah, throw a little happy songs. Like we should not, promise you, we should not be fearing God in the midst of us like doing our praise and worship where it's like, ⁓ my God, like, ⁓ I'm going through all this stuff. You know, I love Never Would Have Made It. You know what mean? There's a time for Never Would Have Made It and all this stuff. And that's not self-deprecating. That's not, that's not like, that's not that bad. But I'm just saying like, we can. Jax: I mean, I'm a super-so-debri-ay. Greg: We got some we I know there's some songs that's like I love Jesus. I love God like where we can just keep it surface level like I like we're just glad to be here. We don't have we don't have to dig deep all the time in every single song. We can have some.

I know that people are not going to like understand where I'm coming from. But when I tell you sometimes when I'm at a praise and worship service, especially when I go back home, it's like, whoa, we don't. Whoa. And then when the praise and worship niggas starts ad libbing. We're not worthy, we're not worthy. OK, I get it. I know I'm not worthy, but damn, do we have to keep saying it? Do you have to keep reminding me? I know I came to the house of the Lord for a reason. We don't have to keep. Jax: You They gotta remind you so you don't get too arrogant. Greg: I'm cool, man. I'm alright.
