  Speaker 4: Another candle Donkey Today for Wednesday, May eighth goes to
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: everyone who was upset with Minnesota Timberwolds player Rudy Gobet
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: Okay from Draymond Green to Gil with a ring and
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: is by the way two of my favorite personalities by far.
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: I like listening to these brothers talk basketball. So let's
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: be clear, they know way more about this basketball subject
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: than me. But since when in this era that you
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: have to have knowledge to speak on something? Now, Rudy Gobert,
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: who was named Defensive Player of the Year for a
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: fourth time yesterday, missed Game two of the NBA Playoffs
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: versus the Denver Nuggets because of what I believe is
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: a really legitimate reason, the birth of.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: His very first child. The run of applause for Rudy
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: Gobert and the mother of his child.
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: I don't know many men who would want to miss
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: the birth of their very first child under any circumstances.
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: Those kids are gonna be in your life long after
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: basketball is over. The birth of a child is not
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: one of those things you get the witness again. I
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: can remember every single one of my babies when they
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: came into this world, especially the first one. Okay, my
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: first daughter came out to womb with prayer hands. I
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: promise you she came out holding her hands together like
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: she was praying. And that is a memory I will
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: never forget, one of the greatest moments, memories of my life.
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: So as a man, I completely respect and appreciate Rudy
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: putting his fan me in the birth of his child
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: over basketball. Gilbert Arenas thinks otherwise. Can we listen to
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: what Gilberenas had to say on the give with Arenas
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: your show.
• 2:06
  Speaker 6: So got an interesting wrinkle for game two. Rudy Gobert
• 2:09
  Speaker 6: is questionable for the game through the personal reason that's
• 2:12
  Speaker 6: becoming a father for the first time.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: Game for that baby.
• 2:17
  Speaker 7: That's a baby, bro, Ain's gonna be there when you
• 2:18
  Speaker 7: get back, Hope.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: I mean you know, I'm just saying.
• 2:24
  Speaker 7: Whatever you're about to think you're about to do with
• 2:26
  Speaker 7: the is he gonna be sleep? I get that gave
• 2:28
  Speaker 7: you want to be with your wife and smile and
• 2:30
  Speaker 7: stuff and your good NBA healthcare insurance.
• 2:34
  Speaker 6: Right, it's because of you playing so first child not
• 2:37
  Speaker 6: of important this game to the second round playoffs.
• 2:40
  Speaker 7: Man, Listen, she in the hospital.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: With great doctors. You taking your goofy ass down. He's
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: on the baby right, all right? You I g daddy,
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: just lor whatever, Just off the phone.
• 2:55
  Speaker 7: I'll see you after the game.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: I find Give with arena'shilarious and most of the time
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: I agree with things he says, but now it's not
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: one of those times I think we take Gilbert serious
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: when he's just clearly joking. But I don't think he's
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: joking right here. But I'm also not an NBA player.
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: I don't have that NBA mindset. Draymond Green had similar
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: thoughts on The Draymond Green Show.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: Let's Listen.
• 3:14
  Speaker 6: I was a little skeptical and starting the game off
• 3:17
  Speaker 6: number one because Rudy was going to miss the game,
• 3:20
  Speaker 6: and I just felt like, I'm a father of for
• 3:24
  Speaker 6: I love my kids and I love my wife, but
• 3:28
  Speaker 6: she's gonna have to hold.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: Off for me.
• 3:29
  Speaker 6: It's just a few more hours for a playoff game.
• 3:34
  Speaker 6: Like I just me personally number one. Congratulations to him
• 3:38
  Speaker 6: anytime we you know, we have we bring new life
• 3:42
  Speaker 6: into this world. It's a special thing and that's something,
• 3:45
  Speaker 6: as I said, as a father of for that I
• 3:47
  Speaker 6: don't take for granted at all. But I also don't
• 3:49
  Speaker 6: try not to take this game for granted.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: Is that how this works? Yes, you could just hold
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: off when having a baby to the game. Absolutely not.
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: You will come home to knock me or the baby.
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: I want to run up and down the court and
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: put a ball in the hoop. Well, I don't care
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: playoffs and no playoffs.
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: Once again, ballplayers talking ball we civilians. It's a different
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: mindset they have.
• 4:10
  Speaker 6: Now.
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: I don't know if Draymond Green truly believes this. He
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: just doesn't like Rudy go Bed. We know Draymond isn't
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: a fan of Rudy go Bed because we watched them
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: put Draymond in a million dollar dream. I mean, we
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: watched him put Rudy and a million dollar dream in
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: the middle of a game for no reason, okay, trying
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: to decapitate him in the middle of a basketball game
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: just because. So you have to take what Draymond says
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: with a grain of salt as well. And I do
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: take into consideration once again that they are professional basketball players.
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: A lot of times we on the sidelines contributing to
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: these convos.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: We don't have the mindset that they have.
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: Okay, we know nothing about what they think as a
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: basketball player, but as a human, just the man. I
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: don't have any problem with Rudy go Bed missing the
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: second round game too in an NBA playoffs to see.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: The birth of his first child.
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: I mean, Jesus, and we have black men gotta be
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: careful about this type of stuff because they are always
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: ready to reinforce this false narrative that we're not there
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: for our children, which we know is a damn lie,
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: which said the child will be there when he gets back,
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: hopefully hopefully so in this series though we already up
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: one to zero in the series, the worst.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: Case scenarios is we lose and it's tide.
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: Best case scenarios we win without him, which they did,
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: so Rudy made the right choice. Now what makes this
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: even more strange? As Gilbert and Draymond gave this criticism
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: after Game two was over and the Timberwolves won. If
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: they would have lost, you would have had every right
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: to say, you know, that's why you should have been
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: on the court. I would have still disagreed with you,
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: But it's a better debate when the Wolves lose.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: When the Wolves win, y'all just look.
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: Like dudes who care about basketball more than you care
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: about your kids.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: And I know that's not the case.
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: But guys, y'all know we live in an era where
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: folks think their perception is their reality. Why even give
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: folks the opportunity to run with those content narratives? Okay,
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: I saw people reaching in regards to Gilbert trying to
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: say we're not taking parenting advice from a guy who
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: once did this and a guy who once did that.
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: Trust me, nothing they were bringing up that I saw
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: had anything to do with this situation. Okay, bringing guns
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: in the locker room has nothing to do with his
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: opinion on Rudy Gobert missing a playoff game. Now, Shannon Sharp,
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: and don't your single weight in as well.
• 6:07
  Speaker 7: Let's listen, it all depend if it's a playoff game,
• 6:11
  Speaker 7: we'll have another baby. I don't know if I'm gonna
• 6:12
  Speaker 7: be able to make it to the playoff. If it's
• 6:14
  Speaker 7: the super Bowl, I'm damn sure ain't missing that. In
• 6:17
  Speaker 7: Rudy's case, the baby was born, and I'm assuming I'm
• 6:20
  Speaker 7: hoping that mother and child was okay. Once I find
• 6:24
  Speaker 7: out mother and child is okay, I think it's his
• 6:27
  Speaker 7: first child.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: So he let him get the number two. He might FaceTime,
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: he might zoo the whole thing.
• 6:32
  Speaker 7: But oh Jo, that's something with her that you need
• 6:35
  Speaker 7: to have discussed beforehand. So therefore, when it happens, nobody
• 6:40
  Speaker 7: is surprised.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: You know I'm playing. I ain't missing no game, and
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: get it in July.
• 6:44
  Speaker 7: So guess what the off season, the baby come out
• 6:46
  Speaker 7: of season. God, y'all gotta play a little better. I'm
• 6:49
  Speaker 7: gonna be there for the bird. Once you okay, I'm gone.
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: What that makes sense? But once you have birth, I'm gone.
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: I get that. I do think we have to go
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: to breakfast.
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: Club court, though, before I give this heat hall, because
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: I'm a civilian and a lot of these professional athletes
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: do have me questioning myself just a little bit. I
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: never played professional sports, so maybe my take is just
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: a little bit off. So let's open up the phone line.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: All right, let's the way on club court five eight five,
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: one oh five one.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: What do you think?
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: Rudy Gobern he missed Game two of the playoffs because
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: he wanted to be there when his baby was born.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: He wanted to be there with his lady.
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: And neither high level athlete, right, Gilbert Aarenas, this is
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: Draymond Green, this is even though it's not basketball, it's
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: Shannon Sharp Boulders, he's a high level athlete, saying they
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: would have missed the game as well.
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: Let's talk. I remember Shannon a little bit more than
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: all of them. Those he said I would have watched
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: the birth and then went to.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: Get out of dodge, right, first baby, First baby. Eight
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: hundred and five, eight five, one oh five to one.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: You know how tough the playoffs are right now? The
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: Minnesota Timperwolves quote unquote were supposed to lose, right because
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: everybody was favoring Denver to win this series.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: Former champion, that's right.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: So the fact that the champions, he was needed game
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: two because they really need all their pieces, and they
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: know how how hard it is to win the playoffs.
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: They win a series, to.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: Win a conference finals, to win the chip.
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: My Knicks haven't done it in years. By the way,
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: football is a little bit more. Would probably confuse you
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: a little bit more because they won and done right.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: NBA series I'm missing again, so.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: Let's talk about it. Eight hundred five, eight five, one
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: oh five to one. What are your thoughts? Jesse Hilarry said,
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: if her man went to the game, She's gone, that's right.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: Get would make me go to the game. Get, but like,
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: go to the game, We're gonna watch the game. I wouldn't.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: But she would be like, go to the game, We're
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: gonna watch the gain. I wouldn't. I would be kind
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: of like what Shay shy said, I'm gonna wait till
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: the baby comes out. Baby you okay, gone.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I be.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: Let's open up the phone long eight hundred five, eight
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: five one oh five.
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: Let's and let the record show it still smells like
• 8:40
