Transcript of Election Is Over, Embiid Is Suspended, Maxey Needs Last Shot & Starting 5 US Presidents As Hoopers

The pap F pod with Ron.

Wrong.

International Pat. IP address has nothing to do with computers. That's the international pad address. Going down easy. Going down easy. Like a Malbec, a Chablis, a Montepulciano, or a Nero Davila. Whatever he may be smoking, whatever country, whatever he may be drinking, whatever country he might be in. Oh, nice chigara.

Yeah. I keep a stogie on me. They say ain't no weed out here, so I gotta keep a stogie out on me. But I don't smoke anyway.

Right, exactly. Except for the hookah and fools like you on the basketball court.

Well, how are you?

I'm magnificent, my friend. It's truly basketball.

A lot has happened.

So much is that we have so much to talk about.

How does happen? Thug is free.

Thug is free. Free. Free Thug, bro. No, it's backwards. Yeah, it's back and it's all. It's all the way backwards and.

Wow.

Welcome home to my number one slime.

I don't know if you watched the pot, but when you was. When they had you in L5, we was. We were sending our wishes. We were saying free Thug. So if you watch the pod, man, it was always free thug love 5.

I hope he got the money. I put on his books, but I'm happy he's home.

Yeah. Free thugger, Thugger, Free.

It was the least that we could do.

Wow.

I hope he makes some great music when he gets back. I know that the world has been missing something bad. Yeah. I wonder if they have Auto tune in the. In the prison system.

Yeah, but we don't have to worry about that because he ain't in there no more. Thug free. Cheers.

Cheers. Welcome home, my friend. Super excited to have him home. And, I mean, basketball is abounding. We have so much to get to across the NBA. We could talk about, I mean, the Celtics being perfect. We could talk about the Thunder being incredible. We could talk about insane rookies or new MVP candidates.

Ask the questions, I answer. That's how this pie go be today.

Yeah, that was more of a like a little preview type of thing, like giving people a taste of what's to come. Because at first I wanted to let you get it off your chest because you're fresh off the court after some nice Euroleague action. Euro Cup.

Yeah, they beat our ass today. So this week has been kind of tough for us because our big man, Jonathan Motley, you know, we were in Shaq, you know, I came to. I came to Tel Aviv because I knew he was on A team all of a sudden. My boy hit us with the pump fake, said he don't feel safe no more. Leaves team unheard of. Like our leading score, best big man in Euro Cup. Oh, I don't. I don't feel safe anymore. Leeds team wants to go to your lead team in Serbia.

What?

So now we just out here with no big man, just like, okay, where do we go from here? So of course not. People asking me, hey, yo, Pat, like, what you go do, right? Cause, you know, some NBA teams called. They told me I can't say who on the pod. Literally, NBA teams told me I can't say who, so I can't say who.

Can you say who?

I can't. I can't. I can't. I want to, but I can't.

I wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't ask.

I know Euroleague teams call Real Madrid, call a couple other Euroleague teams out there to see, like, okay, are you guys blowing it up? What was going on? Because our big man lost. Our big man just scored 30 and left.

Damn.

30 points. Yeah. I'm out.

What? That's not right.

I mean, but he's doing what's best for him, you know, what do you think is best for him? But, you know, it's a way of doing things. You don't do it like that. But shout out to Ma, you got that bag. Happy for you. See you down the line.

Is there anything behind that? I'm happy for you. I mean, do you feel abandoned?

I. A little bit. Because he know I came here because he was here. Obviously, I came here for the coach. I didn't know too much about the country, but my initial point of coming here was okay. Oh, Big Mike. That's my man. We played with the Clippers together. He was my rookie. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Okay. Yeah, for sure. That's who.

Wow.

Kobe here, literally. Shaq and Kobe literally rest in peace. Cold like, we were like John Stockton. Them alone. It was wild. We was doing that.

Breaks my heart. That breaks my heart. Well, it's a different type of hooping. But you were hooping yourself today.

Yeah, but you know that don't matter.

When you lose, you gotta win. You came to win.

I came. I came with a team. Not. You got four that was on the team. That ain't on the team no more.

What, you guys are the big Green now? You're a rag tag. You're sending out ragtag squads now?

I don't. I don't know, man.

But whatever. You can control what you can control. Right.

But I'm. I'm gonna get it together. You know me. Yeah. I ain't going out like that. I'm gonna get it together.

Cheers, brother. I heard that. I'll drink to that. No doubt in my mind. They're doing a fire drill in here right now. Someone's the fire marshal screaming over, talking about election fraud or something like that.

So they. So. So I guess for people who don't know, you can't up and leave, right? But since we're in Tel Aviv and since we in Israel, you can always use war as a reason of leaving.

Damn. So is that what it was? That his stated excuse?

Yeah, that was the stated excuse. I don't feel safe. But someone else did that, you know, on Maccabi, a guy named Jordan Lloyd. Oh, I don't feel safe, you know. Thank you for everything. Was able to leave. So guys are kind of getting the money, you know, Israel pay a ton of money getting the money. A couple months later, they're using the war to leave to go somewhere else. It's fucked up.

Interesting.

Yeah. Yeah.

So that puts you in a delicate position, I think.

Yeah. Because I came here to win, you know, and I came here to be on a specific team. So we'll see.

Interesting. So viewers can stay tuned and see what the next chess moves are going to be.

Yeah.

Interesting.

Yeah. I've been thinking a lot. I've been thinking a lot. What's the next move? What to do, what to not do? Do I go back to the NBA? If I go back to the NBA, do I turn my back on my teammates? That's not like. Not. That's not my style, you know, I don't operate like that. I'm in it for the long run. So.

But you also. This isn't a circumstance that you signed up for. And so that's the thing.

So, you know, I have some decisions to make, and I'm gonna make the right ones like I always do. But like I said, I've been truly happy here. They've been making sure I'm straight. So we'll see.

Your next move will be a chess move, and the next move will be your best move. I truly can't wait for that.

Slow down, low down.

I'm not low down, bro. What are you. What country are you in right now?

I'm in Belgrade. I'm in Serbia.

You're in Serbia right now?

No.

Damn. How is Serbia? What's it like out there holding the.

You can see your synthesis when you talk.

They just come out like Alphabet soup.

Yeah. Like, man, I got the pod. I got. Yeah, that's the go NBA, though.

Yeah, there's. I mean, there's literally so much to talk about. The league has fully launched into full.

Swing and Max, you got to get that last shot.

We got to talk about the fact that Paul George finally made his debut with the Sixers and he's been injured for a little bit. A lot of strife in Philadelphia. Shit's not good.

Hey, get off me.

Yeah, which one do you want to talk about first? Joel Embiid getting his three piece from the league. And I'm not talking about a suit, but there might be a suit involved if the law is on the line. And. Or should we talk about Paul George and Tyrese Maxey in their current predicament as to who gets to take the final shot? A predicament which manifested itself in the very first game that Paul George played.

Let's go, Joel. First, it was necessary. I don't condone violence. I repeat, I do not condone violence. But some motherfuckers just need a little. Huh? I ain't telling you to whip a motherfucker. But you know, some people go out they way to try to like, be. Be bad, be mean, be nasty, like. And that's not the way to go. You don't talk about someone's. First off, you don't talk about the dead. Everyone knows that. You don't talk about the dead. Anything has to do with the dead. You don't speak about. Secondly, you don't speak on anyone's kids. You know, those are two. No, no, two. No, no, two. No, no. So unfortunate situation in Philly. Hey, Joel did it. They gave him three games. He goes service three games like a grown ass man. So is what it is.

You know, I think that it's disgusting behavior by that reporter. That reporter is a card carrying loser. First ballot hall of fame loser. He's stamped as a loser. He'll go down in the history books, have a Dwyane Wade style statue of his face in the loser hall of Fame. Dude, that guy has always tried to be this Marcus Hayes, Philly reporter has always tried to be this incendiary.

Look him up. Let me look him up. Let me look him up. Ronski, Marcus.

He's always tried to get under people's skin. He's always tried to have the hot take. He doesn't represent his own views. Genuinely, I know him. I don't know if you know him, but that is just. He doesn't even talk in the way that he believes.

I don't know him. I haven't seen him.

He just tries to start a fire and it's disgusting. And the fact that he said that Embiid and his. His dead brother wouldn't be proud of him, that's so fucked up to say. And he's lucky that he only got a little bit of a forearm shiver, because I think Joel Embiid would have been justified. But unfortunately, if you're 7 foot, 280 pounds, you're going to look like the bully in that situation, when you put someone on the ground who's a bit of a pencil pushing nerd, you know what I mean? A guy who strokes keyboards, kept pushing.

The buttons before, you know, like, Joelle came out at the Philly practice facility. Like, man, it's bullshit. Like, you know, I've played hurt. I've gave sweat, blood and tears to the city. Like, you know what I mean? Like, I have my son in this city. I've done so much of the city for you guys to, you know, treat me. Treat me like this and talk to me and like, it was like fuel the guy needed the next time. You know, like, fuel he needed. You know, like, you don't do no shit like that. I'ma tell you something, though. Wrong, Joel. Better than me. Oh, yeah. I would have gave him may nots. You know what may nots is?

What's that?

May go away. May not. Yeah, he would have got some a. He would have got some A knots. Yeah, I would. I would. Yeah, that would. I would have got seven to eight games. Yeah, Joel, you better than me, I tell you that.

You. I mean, he. He has three. You have three.

Sticks and stone might break my bones, but worse, she'll never hurt me Bullshit.

Sounds good on paper.

Yeah. What the kids say, come, come join the floating Titanic. Bullshit. Bullshit. Yeah.

I tell you, I think the onus should be on the Philadelphia 76ers to revoke that man's press credential, at least on a temporary basis. They took away our press credential because someone asked, Producer asked what it was like to play against Papev.

Yeah.

And they took away a press credential this guy is making.

They called us a plant. They said we planted it, bro.

Would you. Just because we're trying to experience growth, suddenly we're plants? It doesn't make sense, dude. Just because we're.

I got three, too. So, you know that's what I mean.

So you got three.

He got three coming back. I got. I got three at the Doorway. No, me like this.

You got three. He got three. But then they. They suspended us. And they didn't suspend him. They didn't suspend this reporter who's literally picking fights, making it an uncomfortable workplace for the star player of the team. No wonder he thinks Philly hates him. Because dudes like Marcus Hayes are the mouthpiece of Philadelphia. It shouldn't be like that. That does not represent anybody. He's just trying to, like, get this sports talk radio fodder going for people, and it's losing.

He gets it going now, regardless of what happened now he's the star, you know, I'm saying that's the fucked up part. That's the thing with media that people don't understand. Like, it's no such thing as good media or bad media. It's just whatever. Unless you're Marcus Hayes, you know, I'm saying, like, regardless of what happens, like, this guy's, like, his following is bigger.

I should.

I just looked them up right now. I'm saying, like, anything he say has to matter now for some reason.

That's.

But that's the media. That's the media world.

I mean, different world. I just hope that he goes down in history with the clown nose on, full makeup, tiny car. No, but for history, not just for this. This small saga, this little chapter. I hope that he has a clown.

Nose permanently type of motherfucker. Come back to work with neck brace on, you say his name. He turned his neck all the way around like this, though. He. He. One of the. You gotta watch.

You all saw it. He. This man accosted me.

Yeah, he wanted them, so you gotta watch out for him.

He's litigious, sad Stand, Max, you need that ball. Why do you say that? Because I know Paul George is your man.

Paul George, my guy. I love PG to death. I played with both of them, right? The shiftiness and the crowd that Maxie brings. He's going to bring a double team, right? A lot of people don't understand, like, a lot of. A lot of shit. PG do a lot of coaches, you'll live with that. Like, that's what they thinking in their mind. Like, yeah, we'll live with a contested mid range for Paul George. It might not have been that case, I don't know.

But he'll make you pay for it a lot of times, too.

Yeah. Five, six, seven years ago, it might not been that case. But like I said, the game has changed. And these young guns can go. You just see Tyrese Maxey get and one on KD Flex, you know what I'm saying? It's his birthday. I'm giving him the Rock just off his birthday. Go be great.

And he's also been playing for the first seven games or whatever of the season. There's. He's a little bit more fresh. He's leading the NBA in minutes. He's third in the league and scoring. Right now, they're running everything through him.

Heard what I said wrong? You heard what I said? He need that Rock.

He need the Rock.

He gotta finish that. On your birthday. On your birthday. Yeah. Yeah. Go ahead, be great. Happy birthday, my boy. That's my gift to you. Yeah, Paul Jordan, my gift to you. Here. This is my gift to you, your world.

Yeah, he should have had the Rock, but, I mean, hopefully, it's a learning experience. But I'll tell you what, Sixers need all the learning that they can get. I was at the game on Friday night, and they lost to the Grizzlies. And they're just not looking right, right now in the bottom of the East.

A coach who I. My overseas coach told me, he say, pat, every team that you played for is not looking too good.

The Sixers and the Bucs are in last place in the entire NBA, man.

I'm so it. You gotta understand, each game that come on this way, it's on, like, 12 in the morning. So I'm like, okay, let me stay up or let me take a nap to try to catch the game. I watched the Bucks game, bro. It's a whole different team, man. Like, I like the vibe and the energy, looks different on the court. It's hard to watch, man. You got. And you gotta think, like, now, I want people who listen to the pods. Y'all understand exactly what I'm saying. Like, for me, right? I don't know about. For any other NBA player, but for me, when I. When I go into a situation, I play for a team, any team. Like, I absorb everything. I absorb the city, the fans, my teammates. Like, I absorb. Like, it's us against the whole world. Regardless if I'm there. A month, three, three, four years, three months. Like, regardless of how long I'm there. Like, I absorb everything. Okay? I'm a motherfucking buck. I bleed green fear the motherfucking deer. You know what I'm saying? Like, so I was shocked this summer. Like, I was shocked this summer. Like. And that's the way they going.

Like, that shit ain't gonna work. I knew that.

Why not?

No dogs, like, you feel me? Like, ain't no dogs. Ain't no like, no dogs. Nobody that's gonna be like, nah, nah, nah, we ain't doing it that way. We doing it this way. Feel me? Like, I ain't saying I was the voice of the locker room when I was in, when I was with the Bucs, but like, you felt me when I walked through the room. You knew when I was on the court I'm going to impact the game some type of way. And our second unit was fucking rolling. When I was with the Bucs, me and Bobby was fucking cooking. So it's just frustrating seeing like, seeing them struggle because I know the potential and talent that they have still, you know what I'm saying? So that's, it's just a frustrating part. Like a part of me still is like a buck because obviously I just was with them. I was just with them in the playoffs, in the trenches, knee deep. No Giannis. No, no, no, no, no Dame. So like, it hit different. Like it's me, Chris Middleton, Bobby Brooke. Like bees. We trying to Pat Connaughton, AJ Green, we trying to find a way to beat Indiana without our superstars, you know what I'm saying?

So like, it just, it hurt. It just hurt a little bit more when I see them, when I see them struggling early.

I kind of tapped into the fan bases pulse last season and I've tried to keep on top of that. It seems like they're less enthusiastic about Bobby Portis right now. I expected AJ Green to kind of take a step this year and then I started.

Yeah.

Yeah. And when I wanted. He has it in him. Like that guy is like a great spot up shooter. He should be able to be very impactful with not a lot of the ball in his hands for a lot of time. And then the deeper I look, I start seeing trade, trade talk. I start seeing people trying to trade Giannis to the Thunder for 21 first round picks. I got, I got producer Tyler talking about a Dame Lillard for Jimmy Butler trade.

Hey, you know, but that comes with. When you start off slow and start losing. But it's, it's so crazy how the NBA is that you, you even forget that they missing Chris Middleton.

Yeah.

Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, so don't. That's not, you know, you like the.

Dame for Jimmy Butler idea?

Hell no. Hell no.

I love it.

Dame as a teammate, man. Love Dame as a teammate, man. That's. It hurt. It's frustrating to not be there. Yeah. To not be there. I ain't gonna lie. I Ain't gonna lie. Because. Because when you go through a season with a team, it's okay, that's different. But when you go through the playoffs. Wrong. When you go in the playoffs with somebody like, you see exactly what type of player they are, right? You see the weaknesses. You see the strengths. And you get to know, know people more and more. More and more throughout the playoffs, bro. Like, and it's fast. Cause you can see a guy who steps up to the, steps up to the spotlight and you can see, see a guy who shines away. Okay, cool. You can shine away, but I'm gonna pick you back up. Like, it's so much that goes in when you play with a team in the playoffs. And like, it's just, it's just hard. It's just hard watching them, watching them moves, man. It's just hard. It's just hard. It's hard watching it.

It seems like you would have a good shorthand with not only the head coach, but D hand.

Yeah.

And the rest of the coaching staff. But I mean, those are two guys who you, you know.

No, three guys. They even got Greg Buckner, who was my assistant coach at the Houston Rockets on there too. So like, you know, they got a whole crew that I'm very familiar with, so. But you know, it's a long season. We'll see. That's frustrating, man. It's just, it's just hard to watch the. Watch the Bucks, man, watch Philly, watch Clippers, you know what I'm saying? It's just hard to kind of watch them.

Yeah, the Eastern Conference is in shambles right now. There's no, no, no.

Check it out though. I'm gonna put this out here.

Okay.

I don't know if I should, but I am do it. So I signed my deal with the Clippers, right? I got like a three year, $50 million from Sacramento and I'm like, nah, I'm cool. Feel me? Like, I want to stay Clippers. So I take the 3 year 40 million from the Clippers, right? We go to the meeting, we go to the meeting at the Ritz in Marina Del Rey and you know, Frank is there, Steve Ballmer is there. A bunch of people there, Right. Doc is there, you know, and we agreed to the three year 40 and Steve Barma goes, pat, I'm up with that. I'm gonna give you 94 basketball courts that you could choose to put all around la. I'm like, damn, that's fire as fuck. So I think they build two of them. I think I have Like a bike giveaway at one of them. My name's on the court, Patrick Bradley court. I give out 100 bikes and then Covid hit. So I hit my agent, like, what's up with those 92 basketball courts? Do I see they just built the arena worth 2 billion?

Like, yeah, what's the answer? Let's go with the court, Steve.

Do I get my 92 courts, Steve?

Steve can't say 92 and then give or 94 and give.

You two gave me a Dukes.

That's like if you said you were Mr. 94ft, and you only guarded the inbound pass.

And we shook on it, too. So I'm like, steve, you know me. I ain't a petty. You know, I'm just. I'm always. Feel me. I like to keep my word. I like, honor my deals and my contracts and shit like that. So, Steve, I need 92 more courts to. Overall, I got a lot going on I want to do for the city of Los Angeles, man. I got 92 courts I want to build still. So.

Damn. That's not right of Steve. I would think that Steve would be a man of his word. I don't know if they could find the real estate. Maybe he just.

Maybe he just forgot, you know, maybe I look at it like that. Like, maybe you just forgot. And you know me, I brung it back up. Like I was on the opposing team. I think Minnesota. I'm like, yo, what the fuck? My corset. Like, what's up? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You want to talk to Steve? I got to talk to Steve. What a corset?

Like, yeah, let's make it happen.

Like, what's going on?

Do they have to be in Los Angeles?

I mean, that was the original deal, but at this point.

He'S going to put you in South Dakota.

I mean, I don't know. I just won 92 courts, man.

He owes you 92 courts.

I mean, I fulfilled my contract. I took. I took. I was on a team with a. Furthest we ever been. That was the team I was starting on. Western Conference finals with, the Clippers. That's the furthest they ever been.

Steve, get it together.

I would think that the deal when we did this.

Yeah. Blood oath.

Yeah. I would think that would. You know, that would be honor. But we'll see, you know, we reached out. You know what I'm saying? Maybe. I don't know.

I'm sure Steve won't sweat it.

Yeah. After that $2 billion deal, this light, this ain't nothing but about 4 5, 6 million. It's light.

James Harden, we have 92 courts for you. What the fuck?

Yeah, so that kind of threw me off a little bit. Ah, damn. All right, say less.

They probably had the court, the 92 courts, and then they just, like, added up numbers, added up people's numbers to try and get to 92 to try and make it make sense.

And you know me, I'm like, so do I. Who do I ask for my courts? Like, because can we get the manage courts? I just want my 92 courts so I could give to the kids, man. That's all, man.

Honestly. No, seriously. Give the people courts or we're going to take it to the people's court.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

Yeah, yeah, we're taking it to the people.

No, no.

They shook hands.

They already got some shit going. They already got motherfuckers doing them left and right, bro. We ain't gonna do that. No, bro.

We're taking it to the people's court. Ballmer.

No.

Me versus you.

He. He a man of his word, man. So I. I ain't worried about it. I'll get him someday.

Fair enough. Speaking of the Clippers, though, I saw James Harden playing some lockdown defense.

Watch. Speaking of lockdown defense, we be nine blocks.

Nine blocks. Five. Five, five, five, five.

Whooping my man Z, left and right.

Who is the best center?

Pat, you said here, so you're top five, but they won. Two has 17 and what, 12.

And the. The Thunder or the spurs just can't seem to exactly figure it out. Because when you look at the roster from top to bottom, it's talented, it's young, it has veteran leadership. Why can't they figure it out? And when be second season? I guess it's a young season.

Fuck all that. Prayers up to Pop.

I hope Pop gets through it, man. That's so tough.

Pop coming into the arena like. I'm like kid in candy store. I can't wait to, like, Pop walk in just to say hello, just to greet him, just to say, what up, Pop? You know, he cursing me out like, what's up? You playing tonight? Huh? You playing tonight? You know, so, like. Yeah, prayers up the pop, man. Prayers up the pop.

He's always been a guy who.

Who's not afraid, Coach man in the NBA. Shout out to Pop.

Not afraid to speak his mind either. Yeah, prayers up to Pop. That's. That's tough, man. And especially with a young team that's trying to build their identity, not having your coach around is definitely a negative Negatively impacts things around there.

So I'm gonna tell you one thing about pop assistance. Them all them head coaches, so they ain't gonna miss nothing. Trust me. It's. They pop trained them very well.

Yeah, his coaching tree is insane.

Insane. Insane. Truly insane.

Give Becky Hammond a shot. Give coach Becky a shot. Let her. Let her spin a little bit, but yeah. Harden's playing defense, huh?

He got two chips.

Yeah.

And I ain't talking about potatoes neither. NBA bags. Yeah. She held it down.

Yes. 100. She's killing it. Yeah, he. Harden was playing defense. Russ. Russ is playing some defense. Russ filling out stat sheet. Russ doing beautiful things out there.

One thing about Russ, right? One thing about Russ that people have to understand. Like, to me, Russ is about a seven during regular season. When Russ gets to the playoffs, y'all gonna see a whole different side of Russ, boy. That's the thing. Russ is a. He's played so many games, man. He is a big time lights on basketball players. So all his damage is going to be done in the playoffs. I can't wait to see Russ in the playoffs with that team.

We talked about.

We talked about rushing 41, 42% in the playoffs.

From three.

From three, like, you know what I'm saying? Like, knock down free throws. Like when those guys went down and he was with the Clippers, like, he held it down like he was killing. So Denver. You watch out for Denver, man. Watch out for Denver.

Christian Braun. We talked about him before this season as being an X factor, and now he's yamming on Go Burr.

Hey, how Go Burr didn't get kicked out, bro. That's fucked up. That's a guy looking over Austin Reed. I bump him, you know, shoulder check him, he fall, Go Bird literally gets dunked on, grab a man by his neck, hit him and everything, and stays in the game. It's wild to me, bro. It's wild. I don't even understand, like, the. The balance with it all. Like, what's. Is it the person that's doing it? Like, is it like for real? Because it's crazy. If I would have did that, I would have been suspended five games.

But I don't think that you would have flinched as hard when Russ came over.

Oh, that mouth Soul jumped off his bone, his French bones, didn't they? I never seen a motherfucker look like that. I said, I knew it. That's why Draymond chokes you. I knew it. I knew it. That man took a step back, didn't he? Russ ran up on that man that man like a.

That was instinctual.

Frenchie.

Yeah. Russ did come in like a pit bull for sure as well.

At a Frenchie.

A pit bull and a Frenchie.

For real. That's exactly what that was.

Yeah. Two dogs. Different breeds, though.

Different breeds, though.

Okay, guys, let's talk about Game Time. Game Time. Game Time. Basketball season is here, and we can't get out to enough games this fall with the help of Game Time, the official ticketing partner of Barstool Sports, because there's no feeling like seeing your favorite player hooping out there.

That motherfucker got that look like a ballerina. He's insane, that motherfucker. Twisting the twirl and he doing shit that I. You. You see motherfuckers doing all star game.

That was a pirouette.

And he done. He done back to back. Brooklyn ass either.

Yeah.

Let me fake dunk on you going and hit you with the left. You spin around. Okay? Go on. Let me spin around you the other way. This motherfucker is a ballerina.

He's doing the double axle, the triple lutz.

This man ice skating out there.

Ice skating, bro. He's. He's. It's so nice to see him back. It's. And it's like they're doing this without Marcus Smart, and they're doing this without Desmond Bane. Once that team gets fully put back together, they're going to be scary.

Trouble, trouble. Wrong.

But you know who the. Who their center is. That's crushing it. That rookie that you were talking about at fucking Purdue, you were like, this guy should be a top pick. And then he. They let him slip.

He remind me of Big Zoo Edie Eden. I ain't talking about the Garden.

He's sick. He's.

And they got the. They got the Asian sensation of the. Is he Asian or Chinese? The guy over there, I fucking love him.

Well, I believe Asian is a part. It's part of China, but China's part of Asia. But he's Japanese. He's from Japan.

I want to make sure I get everything correct. I don't want to disrespect nobody or culture.

You could. Asian is a good blanket term. But I believe he's from Japan.

Okay, cool. That's the Japanese kid.

But he is.

I love him.

He's amazing.

I love him.

I got an up close and personal spot view of him, and he's not tall. And that makes it all the more appealing of how winning he is as a player.

So when you say not tall, you mean your shoulder or your nipple?

I think probably shoulder closer to Shoulder.

Okay, say less.

But still, though, that's not a tall man.

You're not a tall man at all either.

What does that mean? What the was that?

Would you like five, ten? I mean, five.

What? I'm taller than you. What the are you talking about?

Wrong. Relax.

Relax, brother. There's photographic evidence of us standing next to another bro.

You're not taller than me. What are you talking about?

I mean, are we measuring 100am Every metric, bro, no matter how you slice it. Centimeters, inches, feet.

I'm telling you, not every match. Look, I got a third leg over here, bro. Not every metric. You hear me? You hear me? Well, hey. What? Well, I'm. I'm balancing.

Now, look, mom.

Not too much. Not too much. Not too much. That's too much. We got kids.

Not too much. But just put. Putting five, nine on me is.

And if you're a kid, listen to your parents. Christmas is coming up. Subscribe.

Royce, work. Grant Williams and Tatum. Going head to head. Speaking of going head to head.

This is getting out of hand.

This is just podcasting.

So what you gotta. We gotta control it now. Now it's getting out of hand. This is where the show gets dipsy, dudes. The other way.

Oh, you're on the line, bro. I'm just over here on this body armor, bro. My body armor. MVP of the week was Jason Tatum for being the bigger man in the situation where a guy who's your former teammate is starting. Starting junk with you. This guy starting some bull junk with a guy who he played with.

Great. Don't count.

What do you mean?

He just. Everybody know he don't count. Like, he's not the type of you even like. Okay, that's Grant. Okay, whatever. Like, in his mind, he's supposed to be the enforcer, and in everyone's mind, he's little fish. He ain't even. He ain't even in the sea. He in the. The little thing you buy your.

The aquarium.

No, he ain't in the aquarium. He at home. The goldfish. He would. He love fish.

Just a. Just a single goldfish bowl?

Yeah.

Just a little bowl.

Yeah. So you don't even entertain little fish.

Interesting, because it seems like he. He thinks he's a big, big fish.

No, but I. I'm gonna tell you. Is a big fish. And I like how he composed himself Draymond Green when they played the Washington.

Wizards, because Jordan Poole was really pointing at his head after those.

Anybody that know Draymond. Draymond Green. Oh, smack hand down. You pointing at. Kept his Composure didn't even look his way. Fuck is we talking about?

He can't. He can't punch him again.

I'm sorry, but you can't even entertain a motherfucker who. You done two piece already? I. Two piece? You already. I. What we talking about?

Well, it seems like he's doing a lot of talking after the fact, after he already got two piece and that. I mean, I don't know. Well, what do you think about the DeMar DeRozan and Drake situation?

I told you when we talked about this.

We did. We said when you have somebody come over to your house, you. You put out the spread. You make them, you know, a nice Thanksgiving turkey, a nice Boxing Day turkey in up in Canada. They come over and enjoy your wine, and they sit on your couch and they watch your basketball, and they play video games against you. And then suddenly a son calling you.

Yes, your uncle. I didn't say, mind you. I'm. I'm in the back. I'm. I'm walking out with certain people in Toronto. Oh, yeah, this your uncle. Such and such and this, this and that, that and that, this and that, that. And then I look up and they not like us. They not like us. Oh, what's going on? How that.

How that, how that work?

That's why I asked, like, how is the beef? Because where I'm from, like, I don't let people play that song around me. Not because it's like, hatred for Kendrick Lamar. It's like, I fuck with Drake. I just fuck with Drake. Like, you feel I done been in this man house. This man done showed me love. Like, I fuck with Drake. Like, they tried to play that shit in our locker room. My man. Turn that shit off, man. What's wrong with y'all? Like, play that? Like, no disrespect to anybody, though. Love the west coast of Devil Love. Demar derozan. Feel me. Like, love Kendrick Lamar music, but, like, feel me like I'm team Drake.

I thought that DeMar DeRozan's response wasn't great. It kind of reminded me of Ben Simmons response to you when he's like, probably booing you.

No, no, no, no, no. But.

Well, it'll be a long way to climb up to go get that thing.

But Deebo different. Debo, he different. He different. So, like, everybody NBA know? Yeah, he different. Trust me. Wrong. He different. His family different. His friends are different. So what's. What said? Don't have to be explained. He different. Don't nobody with Debo. The reason why they Call him Debo.

Well, I thought it was because the movie.

Yeah.

And I thought he was just a big Debo Samuel fan on the 49ers.

No, his name's Straight. Debo. His name's Straight in Cali.

Got it.

And comp 10. Yeah, his name's Straight.

No Craig's pops around or anything like that.

His name is Straight. Straight up and down. Straight.

Got it. The. But. But then.

But still, though, you think that's the homie, too. That's the bro. That's the Brody. Straight up.

So then what's your take on the situation?

I mean, you know, you gotta ride with where you from. Devo from Compton, Kendrick Lamar and West Coast. You gotta ride where you from. Ain't no disrespect, but is there.

But isn't there, like, something to be said that if you have feet in. In both houses to just stay outside when. When the two homes start going back and forth?

Man, that man named Straight. Ain't nobody with DeMar DeRozan off the court. Nobody. I stamped that.

Same. Same bro. Honestly, he's. He's good in my book, too. Honestly, I.

With Debo.

I've always said that about Debo.

Anybody with Debo, but I'm still Team Drake, so that's it. Is what it is.

Yeah. I mean, it's very unfortunate situation like that. D waged at you, bro. You saw that? You could say it, bro. The statue sucks.

I can't say that.

He didn't. He didn't build it.

I know, but I still can't say that.

Why?

I'm not even in that position to be like, a statue sucks. I only have a statue up on me. So, you know, I. I can't say that.

So you would take a. A statue that's not a perfect likeness of you.

Does the statue look like D. Wade? No. Does the statue look like Mufasa? Sometimes, yes.

Mufasa from the Lion King.

Does the statue look like, you know, my uncle sometimes? Yes.

It has an uncle. Uncle. Ish vibe.

Yeah. Big here vibe.

Too much here.

Much here.

Like, I think that they could have just pushed it to. Pushed it in a little bit, you know, too much. So much mouth, so much jaw. Like, how do they get it right at the Wax Museum? Do you know what I mean? Like, they do it perfect at the Wax Museum. Yeah, I just saw. I just saw a picture of Mariah Carey's statue at Madame Tussauds, the Wax Museum, and I couldn't tell the difference between the wax person and the real person. How did they get that so perfect? And then our statues are getting worse. Where are the Michelangelo's, the Leonardo's, the Raphael?

You gotta think they probably did that from somebody from Miami, you know, they probably did it. You know, try to show love the whole Miami, Florida thing. So it's probably someone in house you.

Got to go to Florence, not Florida. You got to go to. So you need someone in Italian or something like that.

Yeah, that's where you got to go.

Like someone who owns a smock and is born in the 14 Mike statue.

And the Kobe statue should be doing all statues. It should be.

That's what I mean. There's good statues out there for all the statues. There's good statues that exist, and we don't have to pretend that every statue is good.

That was a tough one.

Yes, that's fair.

Yeah. He comes up there and say, who is this guy? Oh, that doesn't work. That doesn't work.

See, even he said it's not us saying it.

Yeah, that was. That was. That was tough.

Yeah. I wanted. I want the best for D. Wade. I've always said he stamped he's solid by me. Like, ask about D. Wade, but yeah, he'll be all right, though. Let's talk about some specific players. I was going through the top 25 scoring players, and three names popped out to me. Three names popped out that I want to talk about because I think that these players are making a leap right now. These three players are elevating this season, and I want to talk about them. The first one, the high score of the three is LaMelo Ball. This man is playing a free brand of basketball. He's playing.

He's always played well.

Right. An evolved version of himself, though. Like, he's always played well, but there's like this creativity or cat.

Yeah. So he's always played well. So that's not surprising to me.

But I think that if he continues this pace of play, this style of play throughout the entire season, he'll start finding his name in conversations where he hadn't been in a year ago because he's been hurt.

That's the only reason he hasn't been in there. Because he's been hurt. And he's been hurt, like, at bad times. Like, he'll be hurt in the middle of the season or he'll be hurt at the end of the season where the season is about to be over. So you kind of forget about him and they ain't gonna make the playoffs anymore. Like, he's able to stay healthy He's a huge guard. 6, 4, 6, 5. Shoot the trade ball. He's swaggy as fuck. Like, he's swaggy as fuck. Like you can't teach swag. You know what I'm saying? That's half the reason why he's so good. Cause he's so swaggy. He shoot tough shots. He shoot one leg shots. He don't give a fuck. Yeah, shout out to my dad. It's my dad's birthday ball. Brand. Y'all know what's going on. Like, all the attention is on his older brother and he's able to just get through the lane and you know, okay, cool. I'm hooping. I'm doing my thing. It's light, you know, Ain't no pressure. I'm doing my thing. So, like, it's no surprise why he's been successful. It's no surprise he can hoop. He can hoop.

If his team were as talented as the team in Minnesota and if they made it as far in the playoffs as that team in Minnesota, it won't happen. But okay, if that were the case for him, would he be in a conversation with Anthony Edwards as maybe a future face in the league?

If was a fifth, goddamn it. Wrong. We all be drunk. That ain't happening. Hold your nose. They stink. God awful.

But what about the young talent that they have over there?

Great young talent.

Brandon Miller.

Great young talent. That shit's gonna last 22 games.

So if you're him, then don't. Don't you want to get the out of there then?

No, no, you can't do that. No, you can't.

So you want the max contract?

Yeah, you gotta get the max. I'm gonna get the max. What the fuck you leaving for? Get the max. Put some pieces around me over the years. This is a project. Over the years we go become better. But no, no, no, no. He ain't in no. He ain't in no motherfucker conversation. Anthony Evers.

I said if not if they had swapped their circumstances, if was a fifth, goddamn it.

Wrong. We'd be on the ground drunk. I keep telling you.

Well, Anthony Edwards should be glad that he wasn't drafted into that circumstance with the Hornets, then.

Yeah. No, because if he was drafted with the Hornets, they'd be a playoff team.

So you think that Anthony Edwards is way better than LaMelo Ball?

I think Anthony Edwards is way better than a lot of people in the NBA right now.

Where's. So how good is LaMelo Ball? Is he a top 25 player?

No.

Okay, fair enough. All right, guys. This episode is brought to you by Body Armor Sports Water. And I would take a sip of my body armor sports water, but it's empty because I drank it all already. And man, do I feel hydrated. Man, do I feel rich with all the alkali water that has just coursed through my veins as elevated me as a human being and has taken my thinking and my body to the next level. And everybody's talking about it around the office. But more importantly, everybody's drinking it around the office and around the league. The sports drink, the zero sugar, even the Flash iv. After a long weekend, we cannot get enough body armor. The sport water, in my opinion, is the best water on the market. That's why I'm always drinking it. Sometimes my plants want some of it. They're saying, hey, water me with the body armor. And I say, on contrary, my friend. I'm taking all this body armor for myself. You can have some tap. Okay? But sometimes I feel a little bit saucy. I get to plant some body armor because I just want them to be as fulfilled as I am.

Get yours today at Walmart or a local grocery store near you. Body armor. Armor your body, right. Let's talk about another guy on the top 25 scoring list. Cam Thomas.

Who?

Cam Thomas.

Brooklyn.

Brooklyn.

I with Cam. I seen him on. I seen him on elevator in Vegas. He said he with the pot. I with Cam. But he getting into. He getting this off. All spot ups and penetrating kicks. So, yeah, he playing well.

Spot ups, penetration kicks on the USA team.

What the. Like, he. He's supposed to play well.

I mean, that's a guy who could score like 27 points a game. And he's Phoenix.

He just had to get Mikhail Bridges out his way so he can hoop. And I tell him on elevator, I say, look, man, it's a big season for you, man. You got them people out your way. You can fucking hoop now. Go ahead and take advantage of it. He has been taking advantage. I don't know if you listen to my advice or not, but, yeah, he's been stepping up to the plate. I definitely told him that on elevator in Vegas.

Dennis Schroeder is also scoring about 20 a game for that game.

DS can who? He's just an asshole. He funny as hell. That's my man. That's my man. I fuck with ds, man. That's my dog. Dennis the Motherfucker Menace. That's my man. I love him to death, but yeah, he asshole. But that motherfucking hoop Dennis De Schroeder can hoop. He can hoop, bro. He can hoop. And then he sent his shoes, too. I'm wearing them next game in Germany.

Oh, really? You're gonna wear some DS's in Germany?

Just for the culture.

You need some German wine, too. A nice gew would sound great. Shout out to Germany. And the third player, I want to talk about three people already.

Wrong. You name three people.

No, it wasn't. Dennis Schroeder was an addendum on Takan Thomas. Bro. We were just talking about Brooklyn at the time.

Okay, say less. Say less.

My third one is Norman Powell, who is averaging about 25 a game for the Clippers.

But that's what you go get when you got a rolling big and James Harden. See, that's the thing that people don't understand what James Harden does. He makes everyone around him extremely better. So now, not only do you have opportunities to catch and shoot, but you have opportunities to plan off the closeout. When I mean to close it, I mean, you catching the ball and someone closing out to you, you can put on the ground left or right, you can shoot it like you got defense at your mercy. So he's. He's been in a lot of closeout situations because of Big Zoo and James Harden. He's just reaping the benefits off that.

Do you think that he'll be able to keep up this scoring pace throughout the season?

Yeah, he likes to score. He's the type of. That'll shoot 20, 22 shots. Don't feel bad, you know what I'm saying? Like, you know, he, he. He wanted to do that in Toronto. He wanted to do that last year, but Paul George was kind of in the way. And now Paul George is gone. So in his mind, he thinks it, I'm the new. I'm the new and improved Paul George. I'm gonna show you what to do with this. And he's been playing well, so you gotta give him his credit.

Well, if Paul George gave you 25 points and he gives you 25 points, that's 25 points the quarter. That's a quarter. How about these rookies in. In Washington, dude, these rookies on the Wizards.

Ron, I ain't gonna lie. I don't watch no motherfucker. I ain't gonna lie, bro. You wanna see it?

You're asleep then, bro.

I'm talking at the wheel too. Wrong. Come get me.

No, bro, I'm sleep. Get up, bro. It's the. No, this dude, Bob Carrington, bro. You're gonna love Him.

No, I'm cool.

What? He plays the right way, Pat.

Yeah. You can't play the right way and be getting your ass cooked. I'm cool.

He's not getting his ass cooked. Dude. Who has a better than the. Who has a better future outlook than the Wizards? They remind me of the Sixers in, like, 2013 when it's nothing but young players, three rookies who are contributing.

That's cool. And we see how that worked out.

The Sixers are. I mean. Yeah, that's true.

Fuck you worked out wrong.

Yeah, that's very, very freaking funny.

I'm not entertaining.

Bob Carrington is nice. He's nice. No, bub Carrington. Then we could talk about the. We could talk about Buddy Healed and the. The Warriors.

We could talk about that. Steve Kerr playing 12 a night. I love it.

Well, they have 12 guys worth playing.

The deepest roster I ever had.

You think they'll trade Kuminga? They shouldn't. And I'll tell you why they shouldn't trade Kuminga. Kuminga gives them building upside. He gives them a versatile. A versatile wing center, big man who can help in every situation. If you want to switch, if you want to have Draymond on the bench, you can have Kuminga fill in that amorphous role. But for some reason, they want to trade him. I think they could get a bunch of first round picks. He's not a perfect fit for a team that's only shooters like Steph and like Buddy Healed. But at the same time, he's such a versatile player. He can really be an identity maker.

I can't argue with that. They have to be very careful with that move, but they're very smart in that. The Golden State office, so they go handle that the right way.

I almost.

You can either get a lot or you don't want to lose them for nothing, too. So you got to be careful with that one.

It's so interesting what teams are going to do with their capital because you look at the Thunder record and it's like, oh, their team's just good right now. And I would almost be scared if I was the Thunder to fuck around too much with their 20,000 draft picks. They have so many first round draft picks in the future that if you try to consolidate them and try to package it for A. Giannis or try to package it for a Kuminga and you wind up messing with the formula of what you have, you might thin out your bench.

You ain't going to mess with that formula. You ain't that coach is really good. That coach is really, really fucking good. Shay is really, really good. Really good. So I. Any. Anything added to them is a plus with that coach and Shay, Gilders, Alexander and Chad. Anything else is a plus. They got two unicorns and Chad and Shay. You talking about two. That ain't nothing. Like, it's maybe somewhere. Wendy, who's close to Chad, no one else is like Shay. So you got two people, two unicorns on the same team with a really, really good coach. Like, no, no, they just need to keep those two and keep moving pieces around and see what fits and see what doesn't fit. And next thing you know, yeah, the motherfuckers gonna be in the second round or, oh, motherfuckers gonna be in the Western Conference final. Oh, they gonna be in the finals.

Yeah, it's a project, but they have so many draft picks that they're going to want to consolidate them to make a big move instead of the mini moves that will go around these other players.

So. And that's what comes with doing. Doing your work early, like they've been doing for years and years and years. Like, you look back on it, that trade for Paul George to shake to Gallinari, who really won, I mean, it's not.

It's not even a question anymore.

See what I'm saying?

That's why sometimes the consolidation of assets, like accruing assets, is obviously, it's not easy work, but it's the safe part of the work. Whereas when you have to cash those assets in for a player, I think you can take a misstep. And I think the Knicks kind of made a misstep with the way that they cashed in their assets. Because now the Knicks bench is, like, weirdly thin. You know what I mean? They had depth, they had a nice rotation. I just think that there's, like, certain.

Ways that when eight, nine motherfuckers. Anyway, so they don't really worry about. They bench too much.

But last season, you had to go deep into their bench because everybody's getting hurt. So it's like, if Randall's out, if Anobi's not playing, then it's like, okay, now these bench players, while you don't use them a bunch, are going to be a little bit important.

Cat been hooping.

Cat can hoop. I'm not gonna lie about that.

They call him the big bodega.

The Bodega.

They call them the big bod. Captain hooping. Who won in that trade? Be honest.

Just neither. Neither team, honestly.

Okay, Captain Hoopman.

I think both teams got worse in that trade.

Cat been hooping.

I agree that Cat is hooping in New York. It's probably great for him to play in New York, but I don't like how I like. If I was. If I was the Wolves. I'm trading Go Bear as well. I'm not just trading Cat. I'm trading Go Bear and I'm giving Nas Reed and Julius Randall.

You're usually good with your takes. I don't like that take.

Why not?

He's literally the best defensive player in the world for the last two or three years. Numbers wise, statistically wise. Him, what he does. Alternate shots, run protection, defensive rebound, offensive rebound. There's no one even close to the history of basketball. Well, then I'm not a Go Bear fan. He gave NBA co. You feel me? But being real is real. It's no one else like him. It's no one in ultra shots like him besides Wimy. But there's no one else done when he's defensively over the last, I don't know, five, six years in NBA history.

Yeah, pick and roll.

You see Rudy on that? Bitch, you be.

I know it's scary. It sounds scary. Unless you're Christian Brown. Christian Braun.

Say white man can jump, huh?

But. But like, I want to see more of Nas Reed. I know how talented Nasrid could be on the offensive end. I know how talented Julius Randle can be on the offensive end. And it's like, well, you can't be playing Julius Randall, Nas Reed and Gobert together. So it's like now you have. You think you can.

Yeah, Coach is good. Finchy is really good. That's going to come down the line. That's going to come down.

All three of them together at all three.

Somebody ain't going to be that wrong. That's what I'm trying to tell you.

Oh, Julius. Rangers getting traded.

Oh, one plus one is too wrong. You hear what I'm saying? Somebody ain't going to be there. Sometimes NBA teams showcase some just to see. Well, with the stock on what we can get for them.

Well, that. That makes the trade. That makes me hate the trade even more.

You see what I'm saying? Not if they get somebody good from them, though.

But who are you?

Like, I don't know, you know, whoever thought you could pull out a Rudy Gobert trade? Just Tim McConnell. He. You gotta give him. You gotta tip off your hat to him. Wrong. He gets done. So don't put nothing past him.

Yeah. If Danny Angel's asking For like four first round picks or whatever.

Oh, no, we'll see.

We gonna see.

Don't see.

Oh, we gonna see for sure. Who'd you vote for?

Campbell? I'm overseas.

Yeah, of course you can mail in ballot. Everybody else's.

Yeah, I'm gonna go. I'm gonna come vote when I get back in the states. But you. Have you voted yet?

Well, and when in 2028, you're gonna come vote? Because, bro, today's the day.

No, no, no, no, no. I'm gonna be back. I'm gonna be back in 10 days.

That's not true.

I think I'm the first person in my family to ever vote.

Really? I'm sure Obama thanks you. You and I are the same age.

Yeah, I met Obama one day.

For real.

Real talk. I met. I was at the. I was at the Chicago All Star Game, and I participated in the skills challenge because I won it two years before. But I didn't go to the following year in Toronto because I sprained my ankle real bad. So I went to Chicago, held it down for the home team. And I went to one of my favorite restaurants, restaurant called RPM Steakhouse. And my guy who was a GM or assistant GM or whatever his name was Haji African guy. Really, really good friend in Chicago. He like, yo, Pat, the man upstairs. Who the man? He Obama. What? He brought Obama upstairs. He that. I'm gonna get your room right next to him. You for real?

Hell yeah.

You, my homie. I got you. All right, bro. When they say Secret Service, I didn't understand what Secret Service was until I seen this. It was 16 dudes in suits there no one knew about. When I say secret, I mean secret. It must have been a guy on every other staircase while I walked up to my room. It had to been like 16 stairs. So that's eight guys. It was four guys on the ground. It was five guys around his room. Mind you, I couldn't even see in his room. Everything was down. I walked into my room. It's my room. It's Barack Obama, mind you. This is like 2-14-15, like Valentine's Day, whatever. So, like, in a room, chilling. He walk in. Ah. I've never felt starstruck about anyone in my entire life until I saw this man. I go, nice to meet you, Mr. President, sir. Yo, nice to meet you too.

That's kind of a good Obama impression.

Yeah. I would want you guarding me. I laugh. I. No, no, no, no, no. I Listen, sir, Mr. President, sir, if there's anything I can do, anything, any Services you have giving back. Anything I can do to help. I don't know anything. Please, please, please let me know. I know your owners and I know your bosses. I know your coach and I know your owner, Steve Ballmer. We'll work out something.

He was like, oh, I got 94 basketball courts for you. Actually, Pat. Keep.

Keep making the city proud.

Wow. That's one for the grandkids.

And then I got negro Roberta in the cut. He like this.

You sure you had the picture?

What? You know I got the picture.

Damn.

I'm a senator, Tyler. I got a whole bunch of them. All fuckers too. Barack Obama. And then one on no, like, we win, we go to the White House. It was just me and Obama kicking dust. Kicking shit. That shit was a vibe.

Should we hit this New Amsterdam starting five.

What's the start five?

New Amsterdam starting five. Top five US Presidents. If they were Hoopers. Top five US Presidents who could hoop throughout history.

I bet I'm going Barack1.

Why?

What you mean? But I'm going Abe Lincoln, too, and.

Not playing it, too. He's playing the five.

Yeah, he about six.

Six. He's playing the five. Who else you got?

Benjamin Franklin. Three.

Okay. Not a president.

He's on a bill, though.

Yeah, he's not. He's not a president, though, sad to say.

But I'll put. I'm putting them up there.

All right, fair enough.

Fair enough. Benji Franklin. Anything with that cash from downtown, keep it 100. Keep it a hundred, right? Keep it a hundred from downtown. Rest in peace's sweet soul, the president that took a bullet for us.

Which. Which one? Kennedy.

Yeah, the one his wife was holding.

Kennedy. You think Kennedy could hoop? I know he was a football player.

Yeah, he was athletic. I know he was athletic. So I'm going Kennedy, and I'm going the first Bush.

Oh, Herbert Walker Bush. George Herbert Walker Bush. Yeah. He seemed, like, a little bit gangly, but I know that the later Bush was an athlete because he could. He had a opening pitch that was a seed. He had a. He threw out the first pitch after 9, 11, and it was like a perfect strike. 90 miles an hour right down the middle. But he must have learned to throw somehow. And I'm pretty sure his older. His dad. Did his dad own the Texas Rangers or some shit like that?

Okay, so. Yeah, okay. Yeah, I like that five. I got.

Okay. Ben Franklin, Barack Obama, Abraham Lincoln, George Herbert Walker Bush, and John F. Kennedy. You know what?

I'll take that out. I take that out.

I like that.

No, I'll take Kennedy out.

Who are you throwing in?

No, I gotta throw my boy in. That bitch.

John Adams.

No, we could take. We could take Ben Franklin out.

No, no, keep him in for the graphic. It'll be good for the graphic because then people argue underneath it.

All right, but I'm gonna take either first Bush or Kennedy out, and I'm substituting them for the one and only Be a Clinton.

You think he was slick with it?

Oh, you talking about a gangster? For sure. He know how to hoop, you think? But show he know how to hoop.

And what kind of. What kind of shit was he doing?

And you know, he's from Arkansas.

That's true. Razorback.

They asked him who was one. Who was his top five Razorback, and he said, my name.

No, he didn't where Clinton did.

Really?

So. So who's. Who's getting taken out? Kennedy or. Or Bush. Take out Kennedy. Take Kennedy out. I mean, we're. Yeah, he. I'm not gonna make a joke about him being a shooter because I think that that's inappropriate. Yeah, I wouldn't make a joke. I couldn't figure it out either. You know what I mean? But that's a good starting five. I think that's a good starting five, Abe.

Solid, ain't he?

Oh my God, if Abe had the fucking. Because everybody was. That was Jesus's time. When Abe Lincoln was walking around, everybody was 4 foot 5, you know what I mean? The doors were smaller and he had top hat on.

Made him look like he was 7 6.

Right. He's scary in the paint. No one's. No one's posting up Abe.

Yeah, I got. Yeah, I got Barack, I got Bill, I got Benji.

And you know, Abe was wiry. They called him the old rail splitter because he would split rails and just talk about the law. Dude, that guy loved the Constitution.

Hello. You didn't mention that. The obvious thing.

Free the slaves.

Okay. What? I don't know. What took you so long, bro?

We're talking about basketball, bro.

That. You talk about basketball, you gotta talk about black folks.

All right, well, I mean, then let them play. Hey, Lincoln. Sit your ass on the bench.

No, no, no, no, no. Abe Lincoln. Shout out to Abe Lincoln, man.

Shout out to Abe.

Hey, Lincoln came through, man. He. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Now these motherfuckers getting free, then they fighting for us. We ain't doing that, doing that. And if you go to war and come back, you free. They sign me up and say was signing up. Didn't even know how to write. Didn't even know how to read.

My goodness. I think that Ben Franklin was pretty anti slavery as well.

He knew he had them hunted in his pocket.

Thomas Jefferson, on the other hand, though.

That man hunted though, didn't they? That's Benji.

Frankie, Benji, Frankie, man. Shout out to him. But he was a portly man. I don't think he. He might be able to stand in the corner, you know what I mean?

He's like built like anybody named Benjamin Franklin can shoot.

Benjamin Franklin does sound like a black dude.

And shoot.

Benjamin Franklin does sound like a black dude.

Now you think about it.

Benjamin Franklin, Ben Franklin, man, Man Franklin, Santa Clara, right?

You know what I'm saying?

Like a 6, 7 shooting guard. Ben Franklin sounds like he has bounced.

I think Ben Franklin, cash holding up his phone, doing this down.

Oh, he definitely is. Cash.

It is.

He's holding up like the. The. The kite. That's his. That's a celebration with the electricity.

And his number is 100. You talk about.

That's cold. He's holding up the 100 like Will Chamberlain.

That's cold. Damn.

Ben Franklin. Definitely in my starting lineup.

Jones died.

That's so sad. How many Grammys did that dude have? 91 years old, though.

Great.

Long life. Rest in peace, his sweet soul.

Hey, Ron, let's talk about it, okay? And I know the type. The type of following we got. We go get a good pushback. Yes. What age you think you going out wrong.

Oh, my God. Jesus Christ, dude.

I know.

I hope I make it to a hundred.

Wrong. That ain't happening, bro. Why you ain't gonna be a hundred.

My grandma just lived to. She was 96.

Okay, that ain't a hundred. That's 96.

Yeah, but with modern medicine, okay, so.

Honestly, what you think you got?

I don't know. No matter what, it's not going to be enough. I'm not going to be like, oh, that was enough of life for me. I'm always going to want 94. 94. Then I got 95. So, like Windows. Yeah. We're 36 now, so another 60. I think I got another 60 in me.

Is the 60 free?

Willing. I'm healthy.

60 or 50 of that 60 is free. Willing. I'm healthy.

That's a good question. I don't know. That's why I've been doing capoeira breakdance fighting to try and make sure that I'm as nimble and limber as possible.

We really got like 83.

83 years left. Yeah, that's what I think. I think I'll probably get into like, kind of the like 120 range or something like that. So I think 83 more years.

Go kick the. We go kick the shoe at 83.

No, no, I think 83 more years. If I go out at 83, I'm pissed. 83, I'd be sick to my stomach. Famous.

No, no, no, you wouldn't be sick. You'll be dead.

Yeah, and I'd be fucking turning in my grave pissed off.

Hey, listen, we gotta make a deal.

If I die at 83, I'm killing myself.

Hey, listen, we gotta make a deal, make sure you at my shit. And I'm gonna make sure I'm at your shit. Facts.

And we get buried next to each other with both of our hands off a grave. Touching a bat, holding a basketball. And it'll be like they died doing what they love podcasting.

No, no, no, I ain't gonna do that. Hey, one thing I ain't doing. Why I'm a. When they. When they lower the casket into the dirt, I'm gonna have a chair there and I'm. I'm gonna get drunk right with you.

You can't even stand up for the pay respects.

I'm gonna be 80, man. I'm gonna be old as these motherfuckers. 80?

You're not gonna be old at 80. You're gonna be standing up straight as hell. 80 year olds. 80 year olds run marathons.

Yeah, no, I'm wrong. I'm. I ain't gonna lie. I don't put too many miles on his knees already, man.

I'm gonna be at your being like, it's so hard to say goodbye.

And what about this? Rise up.

Bro.

I knew it. I knew it.

I knew it.

I knew gonna be here.

Wrong. What the is that?

Hey. Damn, bro. We are closer to death.

What the is this, bro?

What.

Why are you bringing this negativity on me, bro?

That's. That's. That's really been honest that we're closer.

To death than what then we were yesterday.

Yep.

Now we're not closer to death than being born. Because even if you're saying 83, we're not even halfway then.

Okay, well, we're closer to death than we were before we started the pot.

Okay, well, that's better than the alternative, and that's being dead. If we're not closer to death, that means you're dead.

Who you think goes first? Me, you, Mike, Tyler, Jordan.

Probably you.

They say the good die young.

Only the good D. Why? Who do you think?

Hey, how. How you want to go out? You want to go out? Like, I want to go out in castle. From like front of grandkids, kids, arms like this.

Why do you want to traumatize them like that, bro? Like, I want people to see me die.

I want. I want to go out like that. I don't want to go out. Car accident.

Yeah. No. Dude, what the.

If you had one way to go out, what would it be?

I would want to be surrounded.

Options are, wait, fire, water, car accident, cancer.

What the fuck? I guess I'm getting. Oh, burned at the stake like Joan of Arc. I guess I would really want to be surrounded by my Samoan family as my 600 pound grandson is just playing a ukulele of Somewhere over the rainbow as I slowly drift off into the.

Next realm, you'll hear me say, hey, man, bro, tell that. Stop playing that.

Somewhere over the rainbow and my 600 pound grandson is just strumming. Dude, you gotta be surrounded by Samoans. That's the most peaceful way to go. I've always said that.

I don't know. I don't know where you got that from.

Samoans. You don't think that the Samoans are beautiful and strong people?

I believe they're very beautiful and strong. I just. I don't know one.

It seems like you never even thought about it that Samoans are beautiful and strong.

I don't know one.

They're the strongest men you'll ever see. Play the tiniest ukulele that you could ever find a proud people.

Who you think going out first? Besides me?

No, you have to say now. I said the last one. You're up now. You're on the spot.

I'm sure, George.

Why Jordan, bro. Jordan lives the happiest, most peaceful and most fulfilled life of any of us.

I'm gonna tell you who gonna last the longest though.

Who?

Mike.

You think so?

A hundred percent.

That's amazing.

Wow. It's always the wild ones that live the longest.

Yeah, that's true. I could see him making an easy hundred, one hundred and seven, one hundred and ten at the nursing home, cursing.

People out, talking about why my beans cold.

He'll be at the cursing home.

You'Ll be cursing out left and right, and.

Then some Jamaican nurse is gonna right cross him. Shut your ass up, Mikey. Are you talking about Irish? Damn it. Pie with Ron.

We got that. We got that man bench from the bears Wrong.

Yeah, I'm sure that that was our podcast.

We got his ass bench. I'm happy.

I'm happy. Well, the bear still lost, so they probably could have used him. Light. Disciplinary action.

Light.

Light is not three games like me, Pat and Joel got.

Mom, they gave us a trade in there.

They gave us a tray ball. 333. Better than 666 though, we'll tell you that much.

That much. Damn right. You ain't lying. Speaking on death.

Speaking on death. Who do you think that you'll see first, Jesus or St. Peter?

I hope Jesus. But I be wanting to see people like, like my. Like I want to see my grandma, she cool up there type shit. Or I want to see somebody that's like, damn, I don't know if he'll make it. Like one of the homies. Like.

Like who?

I ain't gonna say, but one of the homies who, you know, had a little bullshit in his life, did he make it up here type.

So you know, who I know is going to be there? Tip. Tip of the dawn.

Oh, no, no. For sure.
