Andrew Schulz, Akaash Singh, and guests dissect LeBron James's perceived disrespect over Magic Johnson's exit and critique his curated marketing persona versus Jay-Z's aura. The group debates NBA playoff dynamics, praising Nikola Jokic's elite passing while analyzing James Harden's clutch resurgence and Kawhi Leonard's "no personality" efficiency. They also tackle cultural topics like the definition of cookouts, Burger King's cynical mental health campaign, and the evolutionary utility of anxiety, ultimately concluding that human resilience thrives on challenges rather than manufactured paradise.

Manscaped Offer Code00:10:22
On time.
It was delivered on time.
Okay, so Kaz, Kaz showed up late once again.
How many latenesses do we have for Kaz?
There's a lot of latenesses.
So first off.
We'll get there.
We'll get there, Kaz.
I want you to give your time to speak.
I just want to set the table.
I want to give your time to speak.
Why don't you just speak late?
A little bit late.
Right.
So, Kaz has this fat.
You have an amazing ability.
I have to give this up to you.
You have an absolutely uncanny ability to show up the exact amount of time late.
Every episode.
It's 15 minutes every episode.
So you know exactly how much earlier you need to leave your crib.
If you just left your crib 15 minutes.
It's early in my crib.
Wherever the fuck you're coming from, it doesn't matter.
If you just leave 15 minutes earlier, because in your brain, you think it takes X amount of time to get home.
What a whack excuse that was.
Yeah, but I'm not coming from home.
It takes X minus 15 minutes.
Okay?
So if you give yourself 15, I would give yourself 20 so you could be early.
I mean, that'd be a lot to ask for.
But if you want to be early, it's X minus 20, and then you will be here early every single time.
You might even get here before Akash.
I'm never going to get here before Akash.
Just real quick, I think Kaz would say Eden is an impartial scorekeeper.
Eden, I think Kaz believes this is an unfair narrative we have given him.
No, I don't think it's unfair.
Announce Tardies real quick.
Numbers for each.
I know I have one.
501.
I came in one time.
So Akash only has one.
I was a minute late.
Alex and I are tied for two.
Andrew has three.
And Kaz has two, four, six, eight, nine Tardies.
Whoa.
Kaz, nine tardies.
We got to call your parents.
See if there's a problem at home.
This truancy.
Whatever that means.
Oh, God.
All right.
What does truancy mean?
What is truancy?
I wasn't going to go.
Akash was watching Game of Thrones.
He's using a medieval word.
I was like, truant, like truan.
Let me say one thing real quick.
Your teeth look great.
Thank you.
Yo, the small direct shout out to you.
Yo, it is fixing it up.
Real talk.
I bet you one month away, bro.
Let me ask you a question.
If those trains came in late, would you be calling him upset?
Yo, that tooth is really straightening up.
Yeah, yeah, bro.
Because you have one snaggle.
Yeah, the snaggle was like all the way like this way.
Oh, we know.
We had to look at it every single episode.
That's why I had to pose this way because I was posting that.
There's a reason I sat you there with Akash blocking yourself.
I appreciate you, man.
I'm very thoughtful.
I was very thoughtful.
Like, when I was sitting this way and the snaggle was not good, but thanks for that.
What do you think about next week?
Should we put a little wager on for showing up on time next week?
Is there something that's no, now here's the thing.
Maybe I'm wrong.
And maybe Akash from maybe we're being a little harsh.
We know that you have another job.
Oh, no, you don't.
I know, actually.
So there's no reason.
Yes, I do.
Oh, what's the other job?
But station head.
I don't know what that is.
Nah, yeah, exactly.
Is she related to chicken?
No.
It's not chicken head.
No.
I manage a bunch of other shows on this app that it's like you broadcast shows from like your cell phone.
So like the studio's out in Brooklyn and usually I'm coming from there.
Oh, you work from your cell phone.
I can see why that would make it.
No, definitely.
Okay.
And you have to be at the office.
Not all the time, though.
Okay.
Do you have to be there Mondays?
Mondays at 10, yeah.
At 10.
When can you leave?
That's the only day I usually leave.
Whenever I feel like it.
Whenever you feel like it.
But I had to record something before I got here.
That's why I was late.
And then I got stuck on the bus, which made me later.
Okay, but there's going to be buses out there.
Honestly, I was.
I was.
When you drive here, you think there's going to be nothing in front of you.
I left it like that.
When you start driving, and then there's other cars there like 4.20.
People wanted to drive today.
I left it like 4.20.
That's crazy, guys.
From Williamsburg, which is not a far drive.
That's honestly not nearly enough time.
What do you mean?
You should at least, at the latest, you should 42.
Son, if I'm in Brooklyn, I leave three hours before to get into the city.
I don't know what could happen.
The whole bridge could get shut down.
You never know.
That is true.
So I think minimum you leave by wherever you are.
If you leave an hour before, I think you get here.
I usually budget for like a good like five to ten minutes like lateness.
Yeah.
Like I'm like, all right, if I'm there, if I'm there like 505, we'll be all right.
505, 5010.
Yeah, yeah.
But like today, I was just like, I was right on the screen.
What do you mean by we'll be all right?
What does that even mean?
I try to budget out like how much time we're usually here.
If we say five, I'm like, all right, if I get there by like five, like if the, like if I'm taking a train, for example, right?
I'm taking a train and I get here at like 4.55 or something.
That's like a five, 10 minute walk.
So you budget for everybody else setting up and doing all the prep work and then you waltz in late and that's not a big deal.
Because usually they usually Ed and Alex are prepped, right?
Usually you send out the text.
Everybody usually sends out the text like, yo, you guys need water.
You need this.
We need that.
Like half an hour.
Everybody preps.
Okay.
Everybody is here earlier.
I'm just trying to understand this.
Oh, God.
You because it's almost like sociopathic.
And I'm trying to wrap.
Are you the Cersei of Flagrant 2?
You just admitted to all of us that you calculate in us doing all the setup work.
But you said it as if we were supposed to go, oh, we should set up for you.
No, we should set up for you.
I didn't set it at all, actually.
But it is.
It's literally what you just said.
I'm not trying to be late, guys.
You just.
I'm not listening.
You literally are.
Hold on, hold on.
He just explained to us how to be late.
Did you hear this long-ass explanation?
When Kaz was talking, I was like, Cash.
So this is what you do if you want to be late.
We're going to make a clip out of this.
So this is how you be late, right?
Is you go, yo, they're going to do all the setup and shit, right?
That probably takes maybe a little longer because there's one less person doing it.
Maybe that's why the setup is taking a little bit longer because one less hand is there to help, right?
And then you walk in with a stupid excuse.
We need to start the recording every single time.
So we have his Kramer entrances with his little fucking dumbass excuses every single, every single time that something is like, guys, I was caught behind a pelican.
There was a pelican feeding downtown.
Yeah, bro.
There's buses everywhere.
Gilly was out there feeding her baby.
She's pregnant.
We got to find an actual garage.
So last week.
You got a car, you leave earlier.
No, last week.
That's what you got to do.
Alex, where do you usually park?
Oh, you're not going to put this on Alex.
No, I'm not putting this on Alex at all.
I'm just like, yo, Alex, where do you usually park?
He's like, oh, I park right in the front.
I'm like, oh, damn, let me see where you park at.
He literally parks like, if anybody's been to New York City, he parks like right in front of fucking bowling green.
Wait, you're about to snitch on me, too.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You can snitch.
All I'm saying is, Alex has a better excuse than I do when it comes to parking.
So I got to park and, you know, it's a good thing.
So how do we rectify?
Look, or maybe we should help, maybe we, Akash and I should help Kaz learn how to show up on time.
So like, how do you show up on time?
You're coming from a different place.
To be honest, today was a little bit more egregious than others.
But sometimes I'm like, what, like five minutes late?
Is that really a fucking show?
No, no, guys, guys, guys, this is a fascinating cultural experience here.
This is why black people are listening.
Five minutes late to bad.
Does it really sound bad in me?
No, no, but like, this is fascinating.
Fuck you with the.
No, no, I really used to do that same shit, though.
Like, I used to be like, it's a great experience, you know?
Like, I used to really like walking in class, even to work.
I'm like, come on.
It's five minutes.
What's going on with me?
I'm always late to social shit.
Always.
But if we got to set up, that's very diva of you to be like, no, today.
I can skip all the setup and be late.
So not only do they set up and then they wait on me.
But I was a little bit more.
Andy was doing a live read.
I want you to play the fucking clip from when you're doing a live read, making us money.
I'm writing down topics.
Kaz on his phone.
So you show up 15 minutes late.
I'm sending you notes too.
I'm looking at the topics.
What notes?
I see scrolling.
Yeah, scrolling through topics.
What topics that you said?
I said the top.
Well, you already have the topics.
I was talking about shit that nobody understood.
I'm going to have shit to talk about afterwards.
No?
Is that bad?
Is that not?
Is that not good enough for you?
No.
All right.
I got it then.
I think this year, the week, we have down what cause and effect is going to be.
And I think that's a good.
Season finale next year.
Is it really?
Is it over?
Not because you were one afterwards.
Is that why Revolt was like, we're not doing this anymore?
Nah.
Season, not series.
Season.
No, no.
Apparently, some good things are happening over there.
I heard deals are being renegotiated.
So that's why.
I heard some deals.
I heard they won more cause and effect.
They do.
They won lots of it.
Until they know.
And on TV.
Until they have to produce it.
I'm like, where the fuck is the talent?
Why don't we just turn this into a game?
Just make bets.
Oh, we did that.
And no, but I mean like he's been late nine times.
No, I'm talking about.
That's why we started paying attention.
That was the game.
You know how we did when we reached a certain number and we had to do something stupid?
Like, you guys have to have the feminine shirt and him.
Why are you throwing me under the bus?
No, I'm saying, let's behind the bus.
At least if you were under it, there'd be a reason for you to be late.
But let's just do make something funny.
Huh?
Let's just do something funny.
Like, whoever's late next time has to do with L and Z. That's the right way to go about it, right?
But we are just acknowledging the frustration at the intervention.
Like, imagine there was an intervention for a drug user, right?
And then the drug user during the intervention was like, no, basically, the way it works is I ruin all of your lives and I make the money and I just do the drugs.
Hey, y'all don't know how to be a drug addict?
So I'm going to live with mom and break her heart and I'm just going to steal money out of the purse when she's in the bathroom taking shit and I'm going to do some math and then she accept me back.
And then we go, yo, that's fucked up.
And then he just goes, Ty, whatever.
You got that.
I just did a little crack.
I wasn't like a crackhead.
I was just doing Luke.
I budging my day for a little bunch of crack.
You know what I mean?
That's what it is.
Y'all black scent is very racist right now.
That was a crack scent.
That was not a crack scent.
That wasn't it.
That was not a black scent.
That was a crack scent.
And all crackheads have the exact same voice.
Juneteenth Intervention Chaos00:15:07
Ask Joe Budden.
All right.
All right.
I'm like, ah, Jesus.
How was Dallas?
Dallas looks good.
Dallas looks fun.
Dallas was hot, man.
Dallas was hot.
Coming out hot, yo.
Anyway, we had to give you that hot heat, bro.
We had to come out hot.
Today was egregious.
Today was too much.
The idea that it was because you got stuck behind a truck.
Famous, four o'clock in New York.
You grew up here.
You don't think there's traffic?
You're right.
You're absolutely right.
Like, as soon as I was sitting behind that bus, I was like, so how do we refine?
You don't know how many times I was sitting like.
I know how many.
Nine.
I know exactly how many times.
We literally know the amount of times.
It's nine times since we started counting.
And you know when we started counting?
Nine weeks ago.
Now you know that's not true.
Anyway.
But you're not certain.
He wasn't confident.
You guys, goddamn it.
You know what's funnier because it's only been like six weeks, but we can record two episodes.
I was joking.
I was joking.
I tried to get that punching.
I'm good.
I thought.
Y'all got it, bro.
Y'all got it, sir.
What's up, bro?
What do you, bro?
What is that?
What's all right, bro?
Top man.
That shit is hot.
Thank you, Doug.
What is it, Tom?
Nice or nice.
Nietzsche.
That's a little close to Nick.
Good tones.
That's why.
A little close to what?
A little close to Nick.
That's why I wore it.
How do you pronounce it?
And it's like almost black.
You know what I mean?
It's like close to black.
Nietzsche, I guess.
Nietzsche.
Yeah, it would be.
You know, when the Nietzsche's move into the neighborhood, bro, it's like everything.
You know, he's really great at fashion.
Yo, it's not patriotic.
Nietzsche's.
I was about to say a little bit.
Let's do that.
Couldn't get this shirt on layaway.
You know, Nietzsche is great for.
There was an episode of Brilliant Idiots, right?
Where Taylor, Taylor's so sweet.
I love Taylor.
But Taylor goes, Taylor literally said, This was so funny, bro.
Taylor literally said that white people should not be allowed to use any word that ends in IgGA.
Anyone.
IgGA or IGGER?
Both.
That sound.
That sound is just for black people.
So bigger is not bigger?
No.
And I was like, what about figure?
Right?
Like, you know, figure it out.
I ain't going to hold you.
I'm a little uncomfortable right now.
Come on, guys.
Come on, guys.
So, Gary Owen goes like this.
Gary Owen goes, I was like, what about figure?
And then he goes, he goes, yeah, like the movie Hidden Figures.
He goes, he goes, there was a lot of talented actresses.
A lot of talented actresses.
Beautiful, talented actresses.
But that was the line of thinking.
Like, that is wild to own a sound.
Bro, what's a figure skater?
That's the furthest thing from black.
A figure skater.
Yeah, you on ice skating all dainty.
I can't say that.
That's as white as it gets.
Can Akash say the N-word?
I don't.
I'd be less mad at him.
Yeah.
Oh, for sure.
Like, that's my, like, if he said it, I'd like to look.
And I'm like, oh, okay.
Yo.
Like, I won't be mad.
That's my word.
You can say it if you own a corner store.
I feel like that's the rule.
That's the rule for brown people.
Like, if you own a corner store and you got a solid rule.
That's a solid rule.
Like if you got a 13-year-old black cursing at you because you don't got hot Cheetos.
That's my fucking name, bro.
Yo, full chops.
Where the hot Cheetos at?
I've seen countless Indians say the N-word, especially that one with the shit.
It makes me very uncomfortable.
I feel inconvenient too, but you know what it is?
It's actually not Indians.
It's Yemeni.
No, Indians do it too.
Dude, they're revenue.
Indians do too.
And it's like, bruh, you from the suburbs.
You got two parents.
Chill.
Yeah.
People can't be from the suburbs.
Hang is an award I associate with gangster rap music because that's where I grew up hearing it.
And rappers talking about doing the gangster type shit.
So for me, an Indian using it is like, this is not.
Even a black suburban kid doing it a lot.
I'd be like, it was more like culture.
And that's why Puerto Ricans say it.
I think that was even Takashi's point.
He was like, this is how we grew up talking.
But, okay, but what were we saying?
No, no.
I was just about to say what you said.
Like, you know, if you're reciting a rap song, like, we grew up together and like, I know and I know your heart.
And it's just like, oh, you let the N-word slip through a couple of Dr. Dre songs.
Like, all right, yeah, cool.
Fuck it.
Like, I ain't going to be mad at you.
Yeah.
But, you know, you, nah.
No, I haven't said it.
I was telling Alex how impressive it was that I've been in entertainment.
Like, I've been doing that.
And it's kind of impressive.
Like, for as much hate as you get, it is mad impressive.
I've never heard you say that in a while.
Yo, yo, think about this.
Literally for like six hours a week, I'm around people that are saying the N-words in front of a microphone.
And never once have I slipped.
Like, that is wild.
Shouldn't we get like, there should be like a white awards.
No, no.
White awards.
We're going too far.
White awards.
No, no, no.
What about like a Kokoskars?
We'll just do a Kokoskar.
We'll do a Cokoskars or a Kokami's.
Can we do a white award show here?
We got to do it a white award show.
You know what?
Maybe Juice.
Instead of a fucking like a cookout involved.
I thought you said maybe Juice.
I thought you said Juice too.
I like that better than like a cookout invite.
Like we'll just give you like an award for being like an okay white guy.
People should go to the cookout.
Like y'all over shit, son.
No, for I got to go to a public park.
No.
Like there's way cooler stuff to be invited to than the cookout.
Let's do a, let's, let's, you guys, the cockamis.
Like June, I'm thinking June 19th.
June 18.
Just off the top of my head.
I don't know.
I'm just throwing it out there as a potential date.
Oh, wow.
You guys get to award him.
Yo, the Cocoscars on Juneteenth, bro.
That is crazy.
I thought we had to do it.
Okay.
We should discuss the cookout.
Okay.
He's invited to the cookout thing, right?
I hate that shit so much.
Yeah, it is.
I've never been a fan.
And I want to go into why.
Okay, before we go into if there's a better thing to be invited to, you tell us why you don't like the he's invited to the cookout.
Because it's always like the fucking bare minimum of like, all right, like Chris Evans, he dated like Captain America.
Like he dated a black girl one time.
And it was like, oh my God, he's invited to the cookout.
And like Gary Owen, like it just probably got invited to a cookout when he was with her, though.
So, like, he probably was invited to a cookout.
I mean, like, the meta, the metaphor.
If he was with her on Independence Day, I'm sure he was invited to the cookout.
Of course, but I just hate the metaphor of like, oh, yeah, like, this white guy, he's okay with us.
Like, he could, he could come hang out with us because he's not like, you know, he's not one of us, but you know, he's all right.
So, like, yeah, like, it's a barrel too low for acceptance.
It's not, it shouldn't be about acceptance, though.
It's just like, all right, you just, you look, you a cool white dude, bro.
Like, there's some shit.
What would you rather?
The Kalkemmys, bro.
Like, just go, just go to the certificate.
The bar is so low.
Yeah.
And there's 60% of these motherfuckers, and barely any of them are invited to the cookout.
That's why the bar has to be that low, so any of them can be at the cookout.
Yeah, but you guys are invited to the picnic, you know, no matter what.
Nah, see, see, you guys are invited to the picnic no matter what.
You don't have to do anything cool.
It's not like white people are like, oh, he's allowed.
Yeah, because we make the right come to the picnic.
Now you got the cool thing.
We're not going in there.
I wish you saw something.
That's what we call a cookout.
You can't picnic anymore.
No, I mean, you can, but it's like, that's why we call it cookouts.
That's the specific reason why it's called like this.
I've never seen a picnic where they're grilling at the picnic.
I think that's why it's called a cookout because you're grilling there.
It's a barbecue.
Yeah.
You're cooking outside.
Yeah.
Well, picnics are just like they bring like sandwiches and shit.
Yeah.
There's no way to make a picnic cool black.
I've never seen a real-life picnic before.
No, you can't be a central park.
No such thing as a picnic.
No.
Are there such cool people?
I'm going to be honest with you guys.
If I was.
I've only seen picnics on Yogi Bear cartoons.
Yes.
So here's the thing.
The cookout, I'm just saying, if you want to make it a thing where like white people really want to be involved and like just come.
No, What I'm saying is, we don't want to go.
This idea of a cookout is like, it's not very exciting to me.
It seems like a shitty wedding.
Why do I want to go?
What about you?
Cookouts are fun.
Cookouts are fun.
I'm not saying they're not fun.
I'm just saying that's not the ideal event for white people.
If you're like, hey, white people, you get to be accepted into this black world.
What would you want to do?
You get to go.
You get to be part of it.
Nobody's going.
Survey says cookout.
All right, so what would it be for you?
For Andrew?
Essence Fest.
Essence Fest?
First of all, I've a veteran of Essence Fest.
Honestly, it was a dream come true for Essence Fest.
I remember it.
It was one of those things.
Say again?
We really should go to that.
No, we're going to go.
I'm going to take you.
I'm dead at this point.
You're going to be my plus one.
I got free flights now, so it's lit.
Do you?
Now I'm going to cook up.
You do?
All right.
All right.
We're going to talk about that because often.
I'm going to take that over a cookout.
So, what is the thing that you think white people would really want to take part outside of N-word privileges or any of that kind of stuff?
What is the white people would love that?
I mean, if you really, not me, because I don't say that word.
Never said it.
What's a real years in the game not saying it?
That like white people don't be at?
Yeah.
I would say that.
Hey, you're invited to the damn.
Y'all need to step up your experience.
Experiences.
No, I'm not.
We're thinking of you.
We would have made sure I said that.
Like, we would go like, yo, y'all are invited.
What is it?
You can be opinionated in black Twitter.
Okay.
I like that.
Black Twitter on Twitter without repercussions.
Black Twitter immunity.
Black Twitter immunity.
So that's what you'd want.
Yeah.
That's the hot image.
That is the hot shit.
Cocoscop, bro.
I train all my Cocoscars for a black Twitter immunity.
Are you kidding me?
Now we're talking.
You're invited to the Black Two.
You're going to come in and say Nicki Minaj is whack with no repercussions.
Oh, we've been saying that for years.
With no repercussions.
Beehive immunity.
Oh, that's the highest shit.
I'm talking about that.
Like, I don't even got that.
What?
Nobody has that.
Oh, my God.
Taylor Swift don't got that.
Hell no.
Whoa.
Okay.
Now, what would you guys want to be invited to?
You know, what do you as black guys?
What do you want to be invited to in the white world?
We don't have the picnic.
What would you guys want to take part in?
Politics?
Good credit?
Y'all been president.
Stop.
You say credit?
Good credit.
Y'all want credit?
You want to see what it's like to hit that 800?
Oh, God.
800 is a motherfucking number.
Would you like a loan, sir?
Zero down payments?
We could change our name.
Okay, so that's it.
Okay, so you invite us to the black Twitter immunity immunity and we invite you to the banks.
The banks.
Yeah.
Yeah, definitely the banks.
That would be what about Father's Day?
Fuck.
That's good.
I'm upset I didn't think of it.
Fuck, I'm upset I didn't think of it.
Fuck.
A lot of people laughing, some of y'all crying.
But anyway, yo, you know what I'm saying?
We just out here doing what we do on Flagrant to keep it tight.
Maybe that's why they do Juneteenth right after Father's Day so you have something to celebrate.
Like you had a bad Sunday this week.
Wait seven days.
Can you tell me what?
Listen, this is just because you don't say the N-word, this is not exactly.
I'm trying to celebrate Juneteenth over here.
So I'm the only one of us who gives a fuck about Juneteenth.
What did we do for Juneteenth last year?
Did y'all say anything to me?
Did I say anything to you?
You know what I did for Juneteenth?
Caz, you talking about black folks all the time.
Yeah, you know what picnic means.
Yeah, you don't know what it is.
You're on everybody's fun, sunny day.
Who sounds like that?
You just 20 minutes from now.
Oh, gosh.
All right.
Y'all got it.
You keep saying that because you got nothing else to say.
You got it.
Think of something else.
Motherfucker, you know what?
You had all that time behind your channel.
You're talking about it.
You think a clever line.
I'll tell you what a fucking picnic is.
You're like, oh, what the fuck is a payment?
It is.
It's ain't Net Jill.
No, but if you want to know why people say, oh, you get invited to the cookout, this is why we have cookouts.
Because never mind.
Fuck it.
Why?
Because you can't say picnic.
I don't get it.
I'm confused.
I'm still, I don't even know what Juneteenth is, to be honest with you.
The day the slammer.
I know.
Akash just told me it.
So you know Juneteenth, but you don't know what picnic comes from?
Why the fuck would I know what picnic comes from?
Because they used to picnic and hang them on trees.
They would eat food and watch that shit.
You know that.
That's what that's what it's short.
Where did that C come from at the end?
Huh?
Why were they making a C at the end?
I don't know.
That's just what it was.
Look it up.
Google that shit, bro.
You sure to start to make a lot of sense.
You don't want to let that out for a while.
In Italy, they call that Picaniche.
Picaniche.
You are wilding at Top Shop, bro.
God damn.
All the people at Top Shop.
You're like, yeah.
Who's fucking a picnic man?
Be honest.
I'm going to be honest.
I don't believe Cass.
Who knew a picnic man before?
Google, Eden.
Alex, you ever heard this?
That's Top Shop's version of the new Gucci.
The new Scottie.
The new scholar.
This is the Gucci Ski Master.
They're like, we just going to get our toes wet.
Let's start with the Pikanich.
We started with the Pikanich.
Oh, my God.
Alex, had you ever heard this?
Yeah, I did.
You just sat there and just let me know.
Picnic is changed, babe.
Picnic is a thing you just do.
Of course.
But I'm just saying, I wouldn't do it.
Like, that's why motherfuckers really just ruined picnic for all of us.
I didn't make this shit up.
Y'all did.
Yeah, but you didn't have to let us know that's what I'm saying.
We're saying y'all.
Nobody even has picnics, though.
Like, nobody has picnics.
Yeah, but like.
Like, I don't even want to have one.
Y'all thought I would just make this up just to ruin a good joke?
Hold on.
You don't want to have a picnic.
No.
Exactly.
That's why we don't want to go to a cookout.
A cookout is just a standing picnic.
Nuts.
Why I want to stand more.
There's music.
There's barbecue.
There's an alcoholic.
Way better food.
It's a longer fiddle.
We got a fiddle, bro.
Sometimes you bring a flutaphone or something like that.
It's just music for just food not hot.
Y'all bring food.
Cook food.
They have like cold sandwiches and shit.
We cut them into little trying.
We have a little cheese sandwich.
Hey, would you like a little cheese sandwich?
We got a little thermos.
They got picnics in Australia.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's so bland and the thermos.
Y'all would.
That's it, bro.
We're out here, man.
I'm telling you, the picnics were dope.
We get out in a nice little fresh air.
White people love fresh air.
Yo, I'm invite.
Cookouts Vs Picnics00:04:17
Listen, I can't even invite black people to the picnic.
What about?
There's no weed at the picnic.
Say what?
There's definitely no weed at the picnic.
Are you familiar with white people?
There's mad weed at the cookout.
White people always got weed.
There's way more Dutches being broken up at the cookout.
Yeah, we're not doing the Dutches.
You ever had vaporizer or whatever it's called?
I do the vape and I do the papers.
That's it.
I don't do blondes.
We bring a bunch of bunches.
None of that shit.
Bonsi, that's too much.
A bong.
There's some group, some bitch brings out a giant black.
Y'all use like contraptions to like smoke.
Australian picnics got meth.
Wow.
For sure.
That escalated match.
That's how you get people to clean up the park.
You do the picnic, you hit the meth, and then you start picking up all the little shit that everybody left.
It's too hot for real ice, so we have to make our own.
So that's how shit works, man.
I'm just saying, we got to reclaim picnic.
We got a reclaim picnic.
White people got to take that word back.
Yeah, just call it anything else.
Like what?
A gathering of Nietzsche.
Come on.
All right.
All right, Akash.
You got more.
What did I say?
I ain't saying nothing.
What is it?
I ain't saying nothing.
Akash is a wild boy.
I'm about to say, like, you on that line right now.
I saw him right now.
I threw him under the bus.
Like, y'all reacted to what he said.
I was like, yo, Akash wild, bro.
What is he even saying, this guy, bro?
You on that thin line right now, bro.
I'm like, yo, am I supposed to punch you right now?
You see?
That won't happen at the cookout.
You act like I like white people.
That wouldn't happen at the cookout.
You're right.
What happened at the cookout?
I've been not liking white people.
I just defend the words and shit.
Who are you calling white, son?
Alex.
I'm a black man.
Backstory.
Andrew has been saying that to Alex all weekend.
Yeah, I love to say, like, yo, we've been waiting.
Bro, we've been waiting.
So this one, everyone, yo.
I need a backstory on this one, please.
This is Dallas, right?
Yo, no, this has been two weeks set up.
It's been two weeks set up, right?
Like anytime Alex and I will be like talking to something, and we'll get into like a serious debate about something, and like he'll make his point.
It'll be like a really good point.
He'll probably be right and I'll be wrong.
And I'll just look at him and be like, I'm a black man.
No, no, no.
I'm a black man.
So when he hits it, though, it's just fucking hilarious.
I've been waiting.
I've been waiting.
So we're in Best Buy.
We're going to get a card reader so we can sell merch, right?
And this girl is, this girl is like, she kind of gives us some attitude, right?
And actually, she's trying to help me.
I thought it was attitude.
She's like, do you want to do a price match?
Okay.
I didn't even know what that was.
So I just said no, right?
And then we're signing it.
She's like, you should have price matched.
It could have been cheaper.
I was like, oh, that's what that is.
She's like, yeah.
And she's like, well, you should have done it.
And I was like, why don't you just run it back and give me my thing?
And she's like, well, I can't do it anymore because I already did it.
And I said, I'm a black man.
What did she say?
She was starting to.
She just stood there.
Alex ran out the best box.
They thought he stole something, bro.
They look at think about a black man is running out the best buy.
And all the employees are like, yeah, what's going on over here?
What's happening?
Bro, your cats, her face.
She was just now.
Like, y'all was diagnosed.
I'm like, I know we're at the IHOP.
We're at IHOP.
Oh, we wow.
He's talking with the waitress about what was it?
The horoscopes and shit.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
I was like, she got a little thing on her Leo, like a lion on her thing.
I was like, what's that tattoo?
She's like, it's a lion, but she don't want nothing to do with me.
I was like, why you got a lion?
That's your favorite animal?
She's like, no, I'm a Leo.
And I was like, yeah, I bet you can't guess what I am.
She goes, I don't know, Sagittarius.
I go, I'm a black man.
Loud, big, loud in the eyes.
So people turn around and they're like, what?
I guarantee you Logic does that in real life.
I guarantee you he does that shit.
And so that's every song.
Every song this guy is like, by the way, did you ever do so on Eminem?
No.
Chris DeLee is on the shots of Chris.
Leo Lion Tattoo Talk00:15:41
He's on that.
Which is dope.
Like, literally, the first line, he goes, nigga.
And I'm like, yo, that made me feel uncomfortable drunk.
Me too.
Dog, like, I was mad, like, taken aback.
I'm like, all right, we get it.
You're biracial.
You don't need to.
Yeah.
He's really shoving it down.
That's something I'm like, my geez.
That white having him yelling to Andor and manhood.
Every time he says that, I'm like, why do you want me to be like, he said it the heart.
You know, he wrote that song at a picnic.
You ain't going to no fucking cookouts.
Damn.
And he be following his picnic cookouts, too, right?
Guys, we're doing the cookout.
We're still sitting on that plaid blanket.
Bring the cucumber sandwiches to the cookout.
That was fucking his peach basket.
He had the whitest wife ever, bro.
Oh, my God.
Yo, Logic's a wild boy, dog.
He really is.
God damn.
So he's not black.
He's not invited to the cookout.
He can get a cock.
Cakemi, though, or Cock Oscar or whatever.
He's going to get a Cocosker.
Nah, I don't know.
He got to say Kokoska or Kakami.
A Kokoska or Kakemi, but they're different.
A Cokosker.
Kakemi is for different things than Kokoskars.
Kakemi's for white TV show actors?
I guess.
Like Jon Snow get a Kakemi.
John Snow.
You for sure gets Kalki.
Oh, he got to get the best cock.
What is it?
The best acting Kokemi every single year.
Best male cockami.
Best male cock.
Outstanding cock performance.
Outstanding cock performance in a TV show.
Who's the best female cock?
Best female cock?
Adele.
Yeah, definitely.
Well, she's got a cockami.
Oh, she gets a Grammy.
She's got a Kokami.
She gets a Kokrami.
Yeah, Cochrami.
She gets a cocky, absolutely.
A Kokrami.
Who's that singer with the ponytail that looks like she's Ariana Grande?
Yeah.
Oh, she's Spanish, though, right?
She's like Italian.
She's Italian.
She could get one.
Yeah.
She could get what?
I could never.
She looks like Chinese.
She could get it.
Yeah, but I mean, she's looking, but she looks so like the song.
She could get a cucumber sandwich, couldn't she?
You got to make a cucumber sandwich.
Oh, man.
Oh, shit.
We really came out firing today, man.
Motherfuckers, bro.
God damn.
Scarlety.
I guess I'll take you out them weekend trips with y'all.
Y'all came back lit.
Yo, man.
I wish you got to hang even more.
Akash was able to hang with us for the shows, but you had a birthday party, a housewarming, what was it?
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, whatever.
It was also Akash's birthday.
Yeah.
I found out on Twitter.
Wait, what?
Wow.
It was your birthday?
You didn't know neither.
Yeah.
Still.
You didn't tell nobody it was your birthday?
Nah.
Do you just not celebrate?
Alex trying to throw me under the rug right there.
I go, I found out on Twitter.
Alex goes, wow.
I was like, I was with you when we found out together.
Alex and I've been friends for two years.
Oh, y'all know each other for fucking ever, bro.
Can I be honest?
Can I be honest, though?
Like, when I forgot Alex's birthday, that was wild, disrespectful.
Okay.
Because every week I put in his birthday into the Expedia when I buy the fights.
And I did not commit that to memory.
And I put his birthday in Matt.
Yo, real talk right now.
I don't know where you're born, fam.
I don't know when.
I think it's February.
Appreciate you.
Your birthday's in February?
No, it's March.
March?
Leap year?
What?
Sometimes that's March.
No, that's not.
No, it's always February.
It's leap day.
What if you're born February 10th, 29th?
You don't have a birthday?
I think that's Ja Rule's birthday.
No shit.
Then you just go every February 28th, I think.
Yeah.
Wow.
Do you think that he grew according to that birthday?
The motherfucker's really nine, bro.
I'm always positive.
You look that up.
I think.
It's only right at the random.
It's Akash's birthday.
Akash did the show.
I didn't tell nobody, bro.
I'll tell people on my birthday.
I was like, yo, it's my birthday.
If you say happy birthday, I'm cool.
Yeah, but we want to celebrate you, dude.
No, it's not like that.
Happy birthday, man.
Thanks, dog.
Happy birthday, man.
And you had everybody sing happy birthday to me.
It was cool.
I did do that at the show.
What did you do, Alex?
This guy did nothing.
Absolutely nothing, bro.
He's like, I'm snitched.
He didn't invite you to Tundor.
No longer, Alex.
Invited to the Tundo.
Y'all not invited to shit in a hole.
Wow.
Yo, we got to do third world like a real.
That's funny, dog.
Do real third world shit.
It's funny, man.
Y'all not invited to the beheading.
Wow.
It got dark real fast.
How Caucasian did Eden do something, bro?
Did you hear Eden's reaction?
He's about to say, oh, my stars.
He didn't even hit the ideal smoke, bro.
That was inner right hand came out of Edin.
Oh, my God.
Son, what happened, bro?
Writing them down.
What are you looking at on your phone?
Your alarm clock?
Yo.
Y'all knee chase is wild.
Oh, God damn it.
Oh, man.
It's crazy over here.
Oh, my God.
Akash.
He's gone.
Yo, he really ran down the line.
He really had to take a piss.
That was it.
He timed that, baby.
He timed his baby blood and joy.
I love that baby blood perfectly, bro.
I'm light-headed, bro.
I'm lightheaded from laughing this hard, bro.
Oh, my God.
Yo, thank you to everybody in Dallas that came out to the shows, man.
You got to come with us one weekend.
I need to.
Real talk.
I need to.
I will.
Pick a weekend.
Pick a weekend.
Next time we're heading to.
We're going to Nashville next Saturday, but that's a quick one in and out.
And then we got a bunch more.
We got St. Louis.
What's Toronto?
Toronto.
Toronto is going to be dope.
Come to Toronto, and then let's try to do the whole weekend in there.
Yeah, I'm with that.
I'm with that.
Yeah, we'll go up on a Friday.
Matter of fact, Toronto, that early show sold out, man.
Thank you.
So we got another show as well.
Go gobble up tickets for that one, too.
Theater, right?
Yeah, yeah, man.
It was unbelievable, man.
1,200 seats.
I mean, it's fucking crazy, bro.
Big show.
Very rebuilding.
So, yeah, I want you to come, man.
We had a fucking great time, bro.
We saw the Wild West.
Have fun in North Carolina.
North Carolina was the last time I was out with y'all, right?
What do you mean?
Also, weekend?
North Carolina?
Come on in, man.
Come on, sit back.
You went to pee, didn't you?
Yeah.
But we were just talking about Dallas.
I wish you got to hang out with us in Dallas, man.
I know, man.
That was fun, though.
It was a fun little fun little trip.
It's a good crowd always in Dallas.
I love Dallas.
Good comedy audience.
They were cool, man.
It was really dope because every once in a while, great sporting events match up with shows.
And you have a green room that's got some seats and like the TV.
So we got to watch that for overtime games.
Jesus Christ.
So you just with already your best friends, you watching the game and you doing what you love.
It was a pretty cool moment.
I was quite grateful for it.
Man, it's been some great fucking games this weekend, man.
Jesus Christ.
Great game.
Jesus Christ.
I thought LeBron James.
No, you don't need him.
You don't need him.
I'm enjoying LeBronless playoffs.
You know what?
You're going to get him for a while.
Oh, you don't think he's back next year?
I don't think he's back next year.
They're hiring Ty Lou, apparently.
You were right.
Give Andrew credit.
We said he was, it was not going to happen.
Apparently he's the front runner.
Someone find the clip.
This how lost the Lakers are is they're hiring Ty Lou before they hire a DM.
Yes.
You always hire a GM, let his pick his guy, let him pick his guy.
You're letting LeBron pick the coach.
Is that the conventional wisdom?
Yeah.
Usually, yeah.
GM usually picks the coach.
GM is going to put in a system that he likes and then get a coach for that system.
Ooh, that's interesting.
So you're basically saying, LeBron, here are the keys.
Yeah.
And then we're going to find someone that will orchestrate what you want.
And LeBron not good at driving.
No.
If we've seen anything from the rosters he built, that's true.
He's not the best at driving.
I think they all won in Cleveland.
They all won.
They got one.
Cool.
Right.
But Pat Riley got undeniably the best.
He was undeniably the best player on the team.
And he carried them on his back.
Did y'all get to see the shop this weekend?
No.
No.
What happened?
Big shots went out towards Magic.
Yeah, right?
Yeah, so those are points.
So they talk about when they first found out.
By the way, everybody who's listening, maybe you're not from the States.
The shop is a show that LeBron James does where they're in a barbershop and he's with his business partner, Maverick.
This episode was really dope, though.
It was Maverick Carter, Pharrell, Lonzo Ball, Travis Scott, Don Cheeto, Seth Rogan.
Oh, my.
There's nine people?
Yeah, it was filter in and out.
Okay, that's not the whole thing.
And this is the interesting idea is the idea is unfiltered talk, like the way guys talk at the barbershop in the States.
That's your comfort zone, whatever.
He invites Lonzo on, and I'm sure it never came up that LeBron was willing to trade him for Jay Davis.
So so much for the unfiltered part.
It was kind of fucked up because there was a really poignant part when Pharrell's, and I posted on my Instagram, Pharrell's giving him fucking life advice about Tolonzo.
Yeah, Tolonzo.
He's like, yo, you might feel like everything's crumbling around you, but right now it's like the beginning of everything you built from scratch, yada, yada, yada.
LeBron's like, yeah, that's what I told him.
That's what I told him.
I'm like, bro, you're trying to get him traded with like five other guys.
This is phony.
Oh, bro.
Yeah, is that the case?
Yeah.
He's a politician.
He's a politician.
Politicians always phony.
I'm like, my dad.
What happened?
Yeah, we good?
No, no, no.
He was fixing the thing.
Keep going.
Yeah, no, like I was saying, like, I don't know if he's phony, but like, he just comes off like such a politician, dog.
Like, why in the fuck?
All right, so long story short, they talk about when they first found out about Magic Johnson, right?
So LeBron was getting stretched out, yada, yada, yada.
The game's about to start.
And then I guess his business partner comes out, like, yo, Magic just stepped down.
And then, like, LeBron's like, oh, no, this is bullshit.
And he's basically saying, like, he didn't respect that he didn't fucking come to him, like, as a man and, like, tell him, like, yo, this is what I'm thinking about doing.
He had to find out.
Oh, is that like when you left Cleveland on national television and didn't fucking tell them?
I mean, cut the fuck on.
Again, I like Braun, but we got to take this motherfucker to task.
He said, dumb shit like that.
If you're a real Braun fan, like, bro, I've gotten checks from LeBron.
Like, you could, you got to be able to call bullshit sometimes, right?
And the only person that kept it real was Lonzo Ball.
What did Lonzo say?
So Lonzo was like, when they asked Lonzo the same question, he's like, I found out from Braun.
And he was like, damn, that's crazy.
Kooz, what are we doing tonight?
And that was it.
So they was like happy that magic.
They didn't care.
They didn't give a fuck.
Oh, so that was the sentiment.
Yeah, that was my next question.
Lonzo was looking at LeBron's like, damn, that's crazy.
All right, Kooz, what we doing tonight?
And it was just gone.
So you guys got the feeling that neither LeBron nor Lonzo were fans of Magic.
Which is understandable.
It was understandable for Lonzo and Kooz because they were going to get traded.
I don't know about LeBron.
I haven't watched the episode.
I just saw, I read what happened, and I saw he had Lonzo on there, and I was like, I guarantee you, they're not going to talk about Bron trying to trade him.
So the whole idea of this show is just like, what are you doing?
Yeah.
I mean, you know, Lonzo's about to be a Nike guy now, so that's probably.
Sure, sure.
It's one of those things, but the idea of the show is this is a safe space to talk about whatever.
Right.
And I guess the second question I have is like, how much of this show is, come on, bro.
You know how I do.
So move to the Beehive.
I see you.
Beehive.
That's the real Beehive guys.
That's the real Beehive.
That's the Beehive you do not want to get stung by.
Fuck, man.
Yeah.
Shout out to like Stance Stocks or whatever like that.
They sent me some stocks trying to get me killed.
Yeah, nice.
But yeah, I guess I wonder how much of the show is like a marketing vehicle.
It's all marketing.
Right.
It's all marketing.
Yeah.
That's the reason why you go to Los Angeles.
It's the reason why you have all of your production.
Oh, I need a marketing vehicle for like the narrative LeBron wants out there.
Oh, okay.
Because here's my question.
Like you said, Kaz said, he controls his narrative.
Yes.
He's very good at that.
Yeah.
So like, I guess I want to know, is this show shot in real time or do they bank episodes?
In other words, did this conversation happen last week and now we're seeing it?
Or did they film 12 episodes and now we're seeing them play out throughout the next day?
I saw the post-a-instagram picture like a week ago.
Okay, so this is recently.
They had to step down like two, three weeks ago.
Okay, boom.
So that means they're operating in real time.
So that means the topics that they choose are curated.
That means the agenda of the episode is potentially curated.
And this is part of the LeBron James marketing vehicle, which is, like, I think you maybe brought up before is different than any other athlete in history.
Of course.
And, and, and, yo, but power to him.
So, no, we're not knocking the power.
So, my question for you guys is, can you see through the lack of authenticity when you're watching the show?
I think you, I think there's certain points of it.
Like, I think the fact that like LeBron curses so freely, that gets blurred out.
That you're like, oh, man, he's just, he's just cursing so freely.
Like, this has to be unfiltered.
This has to be that.
But, like, when you break it down like that and you see, like, yeah, well, you're not talking about the fact that you almost got Lonzo traders.
It's not talking about this.
Like, that's a good idea.
There's certain elements of the show that makes you think it's really super unfiltered and gritty and all that type of shit, but it's very constructed to make sure LeBron looks a certain way.
Cursing is an interesting tool.
Of course.
Because it's rare to see anybody that's a professional figure, especially even in sports, but a guy that popular using curse words.
I'm going to hear some curse words, right?
And you're like, oh, this must be the real.
It's, you know, like that Tony Robbins guy is very interesting, but like he says he uses language on purpose in a certain way because you can set a tone in the room.
Like you can be the person who gives the least fucks with language or ideas.
And it brings the guard down for everyone.
But it's a great way to mask inauthenticity.
Hey, I'm going to curse about some shit, but you know exactly what we're going to talk about.
You know the opinions you want to have, et cetera.
Interesting.
Yo, no posting shows.
Like I look at LeBron's Instagram and I don't know what is authentic LeBron.
Every single one of them.
Every single post of his for the most part looks inauthentic.
Curated.
Yeah.
Yeah, I get that.
When he's doing the music shit, it looks like, oh, okay, somebody paid him to do this music shit.
I believe my being naive.
I'm believing all this stuff.
I believe he's, I don't know if he's getting paid.
I believed he was pushing his narrative, curating his narrative with every post.
Wait a minute, bump up, go up to the top.
This is interesting.
Okay, there it is.
Is he getting paid for that?
Absolutely.
Yeah.
Every post.
Every post.
Yeah, this is for his network.
Kim Kardashian gets a million.
Well, this is supposedly.
Kim Kardashian gets a million per post.
So somebody at LeBron's level is getting money per post.
So everything he posts, there's a reason for it.
Oh, my God.
So I don't really know.
I don't know what authentic LeBron is.
I don't think I've ever seen authentic LeBron.
Jay Z Social Media Curation00:06:36
No.
I think very few people have.
So then he must have been doing a pretty good job.
If I'm fooled, am I naive?
No, yeah.
That's the majority of people.
That's part of the reason I don't like it.
No, no, no.
But do you think the majority of the people are aware of this?
Or do you think this is you because you're entertainment?
I think a lot of people who dislike LeBron, that's one of the things they dislike.
That he's clearly phony.
I don't want to say he's phony.
I think he's very carefully crafted.
There is phoniness to him.
He's a walking fucking conglomerate.
He's a walking product.
He's a big product.
He's calculated.
Yeah, he's calculated.
He's not just going to throw shit out there.
Everything is out there for a reason.
I didn't know he was making this video.
Even if it's posted like this, the sneaker is thick for a reason.
Always aware of the sneak dissent.
Everything.
But all his kids, all his kids' stuff seems authentic.
I don't see anything else.
Of course he loves his kids.
He genuinely loves his kids.
But it's also to make his image like, oh, look at me.
I'm a loving father.
I'm family man.
Well, I think it's marketing also for the market.
Like, I want my kid.
Oh, true.
I think he's doing some Lonzo Ball shit in his way.
Like, I want my kid to be highly touted.
So you're going to see all the highlights from his videos.
You're going to see him splashing jumpers.
You're going to see him dunking in a parking lot.
You're going to see all the good stuff so that these, so that Coach K can call him up and be like, okay, I'd like to see a kid play.
See, and that's why I love somebody like Jay-Z because Jay-Z's at the same level as LeBron that anything he does is going to be scrutinized.
So what does he do?
Stay out the limelight.
You barely see pictures of my life.
You barely see anything from my life because I don't want to have to be fake for the camera.
Jay-Z's also 50 years old.
He doesn't know how to use a phone.
I don't think he knows how to use Instagram.
Jay-Z's everybody.
Jay-Z's everybody.
He sees everything.
No, but I'm saying he's all in that, like, it's stupid for him to be on Instagram.
Like, he was well, he was established pretty much as one of the GOATs when Instagram came around.
But look at 50.
50 right now is killing on Instagram.
Look at the rock.
Because 50 is not nearly the status of Jay-Z.
Jay-Z has created the larger than life legacy already.
So now for him to post a lot would take away from that.
Jay-Z's created the aura brilliantly.
I like this of being larger than life.
You don't see me out.
Yeah, but there's people who are larger than life.
The rock does it best.
The rock does it.
The rock does it best.
Will Smith.
But taking Akasha's point, I think it's very poignant.
He's not saying that these other people aren't good at it.
He's not saying The Rock isn't good.
He's not saying that.
What he's saying is anything that Jay-Z posts isn't going to live up to our image of Jay-Z.
And 50 hadn't ascended to that level yet.
While 50 is an absolute genius, seeing what he's done recently.
50 is a troll.
Trolls are best online.
Yes.
And it worked for him.
But 50 also wasn't secure for life within a lifestyle he wanted.
And he had to reinvent himself in TV.
And it's genius what he's done or film, TV, film, entertainment.
But Jay was set for life.
Yeah.
And anything that he does to post on the Gram could absolutely shatter our image of how fucking cool he is.
There's a reason you barely see him talk.
Like, you don't even see him pull up up.
There's whole photo threads of Jay-Z doing anything athletically.
It's so dumb.
It's so bad.
Anytime Jay-Z tries to do any, like, this is a picture of him throwing the football right out of the bush.
Riding a bike, jumping into that pool all awkward.
Just the most awkward dude, like, when it comes to any physical activity.
It's like, ah, this is what I'm saying.
And then he'll address it with like one line in 411.
He'll be like, I'm a billionaire.
You never seen Ugly Billionaire.
Whatever.
I'm cute.
I'm cute.
Everybody talking about.
Bro, he looked like he's catching.
This is my favorite one.
The Jetsky.
The Jetsky.
He looks a little Franken Beans in both those people.
Have you seen my Jetski?
I see, that looks better.
That looks better.
No, no, look.
Yeah, I ain't saying something.
Well, what's interesting about.
I gotta say, not crazy.
How do you look like Goofy holding?
All you gotta do is hold it.
That's not Alex Together.
I say exactly.
I got it.
Look, so here's the thing with Jay-Z, though.
Maybe Jay-Z recognizes his goofy and he's trying to hide that from the world.
Yes.
And because he knows that if you just turn the cam on and follow Jay-Z, he's going to come across goofy.
That's what I'm saying.
He's worse.
The more you see Jay-Z, the worse it is for Jay-Z.
He's calculated as fuck, too.
He just knows if I stick to music and I stick to performing, I'll have this cool aura.
He doesn't even really put out that much music or perform like that anymore.
He's just Jay-Z.
But those were the things that he did, right?
And I'm going to be a businessman.
I'm going to maybe drop a little line here, drop a little line there.
But I imagine, even in the podcast that he put out, like, there's a lot of chopping.
He has to approve everything.
You don't think that he has the capability of having people around him to curate his social media in a way that he's going to be able to do it?
But why would he?
Why would he?
Yeah.
What's the advantage of that?
His wife does it.
His wife is still.
She's super curated, but that shit still looks authentically.
It's not just Beyonce and Jay-Z.
She does it in a way that it looks, she comes across authentic.
But her fans are 14-year-old girls.
So what's the upside?
His fans are older dudes.
Yeah, what's the upside for Jay to do it?
Just because his wife.
But I was just saying, so he doesn't.
I just respect the fact that instead of having a curated fair social media.
I think that's also curated, though.
Yeah.
Can you see?
My point is, I think that's dope too.
That's what I would prefer to do.
I fucking hate social media.
But that's also curated in a way of like, I'm off.
Y'all on this shit?
50 on this.
Let 50 chase me.
I'm above this.
I guess you should say.
In the same way, Beyonce follows zero people.
She don't need to follow nobody.
That's the image he's putting out.
Not even Jay.
I'm not even going to follow Jay.
I don't need to.
Jay's image is: I don't need to post.
Y'all do that.
Y'all beneath me.
Gotcha.
Do you acknowledge how fucking corny it is, those people who don't follow anybody?
You fucking egomaniac.
They just have a second page.
Beyonce got that right.
No, no, no.
I'm talking about, I'm not saying everybody has the right.
I'm just saying it is a corny thing to one act like you're not finding out what's going on Instagram.
People are sending you Instagram links all the time and you're looking at it, right?
Like you are finding out what's going on.
You're seeing what's hot.
You're seeing what's popping.
You're not detached from the world.
You're doing it as a marketing thing.
I'm not a follower.
I don't follow nobody.
They are.
They got fenced.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
So you got a whole other Instagram to do all that following.
So this shit is so inauthentic, so fatal.
Just admit you want to look up, you know, World Star, all the other stupid shit the rest of us do.
That is part of the allure, though.
If you're Queen B. Queens don't follow nobody, they're queens.
That's just marketing.
It's just marketing.
Follow Jay.
Homeless Ramadan Reality00:04:22
You know what?
You can follow Jay.
Follow Jay.
Jay's not on there to be followed.
I don't follow Jay's.
Does he have Instagram?
No, he doesn't.
Nah, he has Twitter.
He barely uses it.
He tweets like every once in a while.
He had like one tweet storm when he went to the Songwriters Hall of Fame and he was like shouting out all the rappers he thought he thanked and shit.
He left Kanye off that bitch.
He did?
He did?
Yeah, I remember that.
I'm pretty sure he left Kanye off.
He left one or two people off noticeably.
And there was a couple people.
He liked Mac Miller and shit.
There's a couple people that were just young.
Yeah.
People that were just like coming on.
I feel like, ah, he didn't deserve a shout out yet.
But maybe he has a stake in them and he's trying to pull him up.
Absolutely.
Yo, shouts to all the Muslims celebrating Ramadan.
Ramadan just started, yo.
Oh, say that shit one more time?
Ramadan Mubarak.
Ramadan Mubarak.
M-U-B-A-R-A-K.
Mubarak.
That's not how you spell it in their language.
How you spell it?
Like that.
Man, like that.
See, it's a slippery fucking slope.
What?
The black jokes are starting to slip.
I don't know.
Maybe the black jokes aren't.
I'm leaning in.
Yeah, the black jokes are.
I'm saying don't lean in.
Why?
You worried about a kaboom?
Yo, that's a stereotype, Kaz.
You don't got to be worried about it, Kaz.
Come on.
That's a stereotype.
That's mad, small-minded of you, dog.
Come on, bro.
You got to be more progressive, son.
Yeah, Muslims.
You're a terrorist.
Your name is Kazim.
We should be worried about you.
That's an Arabic name.
Yeah, it is an Arabic name.
Assalamualaikum, my brother.
Yeah, Lake of Salam, bitch.
Oh, he's one of them.
That's why you were late.
You were praying.
No, but for real, man, shout out to all the Muslims out here doing Ramadan.
Ramadan is lit, dude.
I did a day last year.
You know, what fucks you up is the water.
The water is the tough part.
Yo, so here's the thing about water.
No water.
Sun up to summer.
Some sun up to sun.
And summer Ramadan is worse.
That's what I was about to say.
So basically, when all of us, I'm 35, right?
So everybody who's around that age, when they were kids, starting out Ramadan, because you don't have to do Ramadan until you're at a certain age, right?
Like, obviously, a little kid needs to eat during three of the day.
But all of them, when they were kids, they had winter Ramadan, right?
Because it changes a little bit every year.
Winter Ramadan is easy.
Yeah, because there's not a lot of sun.
You wake up at 45 p.m.
Exactly.
You wake up at 7:30.
Well, at least in New York, you wake up at 7:30, right?
You chug some water before that sun comes up.
And then by 3:34, sundown.
Yeah.
Right?
You know, sports story.
Boom, that's easy.
That's how I learned about Ramadan through Hockey Bush.
Hakim Lajuan.
Yeah, because he was fasting during the playoffs.
Yeah, but everybody makes a big deal about that.
Like, you play at 8 o'clock.
Yeah, no, that's what I'm saying.
You could do that fast.
He was like, I was fine.
There was like a day.
It's like Sunday games.
Day game is crazy.
Sunday games when he was like, no water is crazy.
Granted, it's Minnesota.
But there was a football player for the Vikings.
Ramadan during training camp wouldn't drink water during training.
I mean, unbelievable.
Wow, yo.
Two days, right?
It's wild.
Probably two days.
Dude, it's unbelievable.
The water shit is a bitch.
That was the tough thing when I tried it.
I did a day of it last year, and that was definitely tough.
But the food, it's weird.
Like, you know, I'm one of these people.
I get like hangry.
I get like angry when I'm hungry, and I want to eat every four hours.
The first four, you're really hungry.
After that, oh, you're good.
It's like homeless, you're not that hungry.
Like, you get, it's like, it's like a runner's hide, but like when you're hungry, yeah, like once you get past that first wall of hunger, yeah, it's like, all right, that's what I'm saying.
Only Alex caught my little shot at the homeless people.
I thought he said hummus.
I thought he said he said hummus.
He said the homeless, they don't know how to do it.
I'm like, the homeless ain't down.
They're just intermittent fasting when you get down to it.
They eat a few hours every day.
Yo, why don't they just be Muslim this month?
Like, if you're homeless, you already are Ramadan in it.
A Ramadan?
You're Ramadan in it.
Yo.
We got to do the Ramadaskars.
The pest.
The pest and the Ramadamis.
We got to do the Ramadaskars and the Ramadamis.
Real talk this month.
Rami Youssef is clean sweep out this motherfucker.
Rama, what?
Rami Yousaf.
Rami.
Oh, Rami's is going to kill it.
Oh, man.
I saw that movie.
Yo, the show.
The show.
He got a show out.
And HBO.
He called Rami.
He got the HBO special coming out.
Hilarious comic.
Intermittent Fasting Ramadaskars00:08:02
That was in the Queen.
Oh, he's good too.
Rami Malik.
Rami Malik.
He's a Christian.
He's a Coptic Christian from Egypt.
Yeah, But he's a talented motherfucker, man.
He's intense for big eyes.
Yeah, he came to one of my shows, man.
Say where the fuck was.
Yeah, he's intense.
We did like a long intense handshake.
He has like very big, deep eyes.
I feel like everything he says is very serious.
Very serious.
Very serious.
Is he trying to fuck?
Nah.
He had a shorty with him.
Okay.
He just said long intense handshake.
I didn't know what that meant.
Nah, nah, I wasn't like that.
Is that what you call the head?
You could get some, though.
He's a good actor.
You let him hit?
I wouldn't let him hit.
For his talent?
Nah, nah.
I would slap soft dicks against each other.
Yo, where do you get this?
Is that gay?
Just do that.
Just like a horse's, not a horse, what is an elephant trunk?
Just do that little game.
What was the money?
The go watch the Golden Company.
The Golden Company.
Oh, my God.
Game of Thrones reference for y'all.
Shout out to Game of Thrones.
Yeah, man.
We missed you on this week's episode.
I know.
I know.
But yeah, man, for real, though.
Have a good Ramadan yo.
Kill that up.
I mean, don't kill anything.
I don't know why I said kill because you said that.
I said they killed the only black girl on the show.
My bad.
To be fair, there was only one.
I know.
They killed her.
She lasted a long ass time.
She didn't die first, that's for sure.
To me, I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to.
I'm like, oh, man.
So she made to five.
They killed that red-headed bitch last one?
They did.
Yeah.
I didn't care about that.
They killed Patch?
Patch.
What's his name?
Oh, the pirate-looking ass.
The fucking patch.
I had a question.
I'm sure there's some comic that has spoken about this.
There has to be, but just how we haven't improved the eye patch at all in literally 5,000 years.
Like, as long as we've had missing eyeballs, it's literally been like, it was a glass eye.
And we're not good with that?
I mean, that seems fucking crazy.
Here's a piece of glass stick in your eye.
Well, I hope they make it round.
Yeah.
I mean, yeah, they do, but it's.
It doesn't hurt.
I mean, don't you?
Stuart Scott had one.
I would rather you have a glass eye than that stupid patch.
Give me the patch, dog.
You want the patch?
That eye just not moving no matter where I go.
It's windy.
That shit pop up so that you got a fucking hole in your head.
That's the other thing.
Why don't they just take a little string and then tie this eye to that eye?
To what?
Take a little string.
Look, when you're in the car, right?
He's about to try to get a drink.
No, when you're in the car.
No, no, no.
I got this, right?
When you're in the car, the crazy person is playing.
No, no, no.
Keep that away.
Don't look at the thing.
It's too distracting, right?
You're in the front of the center theory.
You're on the left side.
The steering wheel is on the left side, right?
When you turn that shit, it turns the left wheel and the right wheel.
So what I'm saying is, whatever we got in the car, put that in your head and then attach the glass eye.
Put a chassis.
Glass eye is an option.
Yeah, put the chassis.
The glass eye is the right wheel.
That shit turns whenever you turn the steering wheel.
You are power stealing for your eyeballs.
Well, tell me I didn't figure out eyes.
You got these fucking idiots with their stupid glass eyes and their patches.
Okay?
They can't even say nothing smart.
You ever seen someone with a patch say anything smart and you look at them like that?
Nah, the patch isn't for intelligence.
The patch is badass.
What?
The patch is like intimidating.
Yeah, it tells a story.
It's like he's been through some bad shit.
I was on a cruise through Australia, right?
No shit.
This is the most alpha shit I've ever seen in my life.
This dude was walking around.
He was missing an eye.
No eye patch, no glass eye.
Dude was walking around the boat with a hole in his fucking head like a man.
I could see what he was thinking.
He just had the hole.
Children looked at him and cried, and he didn't give a fuck.
That's the stuff on a cruise.
Hold on.
Where does it go?
I respect that.
The cruise?
No, the eye hole.
Like, do you see the brain?
No shit.
Like, I really want to know.
You ever seen some crazy anal porn?
It looked like that in his head.
Oh, where it's just open?
So let's look at it.
What was that called again?
Gaping.
Gaping.
Yeah, he was gaping.
Yeah.
Favorite category.
After that cruise, yeah, for sure.
I almost got a little bit of a shot.
I'm gonna put my dick in that.
That's nuts.
All I'm saying is, we could do better than that, bro.
That's funny.
I can't believe you can't just put an eye and connect it to the other.
And even when I see cockeyed people, have you seen cockeyed people?
We can't fix that.
That is a little wild.
Like, that shit's going on.
I was almost.
Wait, cockeye is lazy eye?
Same shit?
What's the difference?
I don't know.
All right, good.
I'm not the other one.
I do the same shit.
I thought, like, a cockeye is like one's just like slightly off.
So then there's lazy eye.
No.
Lazy is like Forrest Whitaker, where your shit don't want to be open.
Oh, so it's more of a lid.
Oh, it's the lid.
Yeah.
I thought it was cockeyed.
There's a funny David Tell joke where.
No, I heard Lazy Eye was eyeballed too.
Oh, no.
Lazy Eye, it's looking the other way.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So then that's cockeyed.
Yeah, lazy eye and cockeyed are the same.
David Teller got a funny joke: like, that eye is not lazy.
It's working overtime.
Like, it's looking in the other direction.
It's concentration.
Anyway, go on.
Going through your story.
You were almost cockeyed.
Yeah, so I was slap boxing with my cousin when I was like maybe 12 or something like that.
Yeah, that's not how you become cockeyed.
No, no, no.
But it was really.
He caught me in a way where when I looked up, my eye was looking the other way.
And he started panicking.
He grabbed my face and just started rubbing my eye really hard.
And the shit corrected itself.
But dead ass, he was like, I looked up and I was rubbing.
I'm a lot of people out there.
Have you tried this?
Why don't you just try this?
And then your eye will be straight, okay?
From the Puerto Rican School of Medicine.
They probably ain't trying that.
Oh, my God.
Honestly, if you.
What if we really just figured out how to fix cockeyes?
Alex might be on it.
Two minutes to just rub your shit back.
How has that not been fixed?
I cannot believe it.
How has it not been fixed?
That's a good question.
We're wasting our time on cancer.
These poor motherfuckers look in two directions.
Bro, and which one do you look at?
Which one do you trust?
I look at, to be honest, I look at the one, the away game.
I look at that one.
That's the peripheral.
I look at the peripheral because I feel like how you walk straight.
Because then they see you looking at the fucked up like that.
They know I know they're cockeyed.
That's the beyond that they're not.
They think like you don't.
No, they see out of both.
No, but the one good eye, like, they see you looking at the bad eye.
No.
Right?
No.
But if the other eyes to the side, how can they?
Maybe he just wants them to know he's not uncomfortable with their cockeye.
Yo, you know what you shouldn't do?
This is what you shouldn't do.
I learned this art.
Rub it real hard.
No, no, no, no.
But that also.
So it's like the Isaacus magic on the mountain.
This is what you shouldn't do.
Okay.
I'm not scared of you.
When they're talking to you and you're looking at them, don't look off at what you think they're looking at.
Because there was this friend of the family, right?
Shout out to Dick.
He was his friend of the family.
He was like, severely cockeyed, bro.
Severely cockeyed.
And I would catch myself, like, we'd be talking, and I'd catch myself.
I'd be like, what's good, right?
And he had to like, he'd be like, nah, just look at that one and everything would be okay.
This one's just a little cockeyed.
I'm not a dick.
I thought we were both looking at something.
I thought there was cheer.
I thought, like, somebody's coming for me.
Real talk.
It could have been anything.
Do you think they had an advantage back in the day when we were in the forest?
Like, now we make fun of them, but back in the day, they were like, yo, put him in the front because he's going to see all the jaguars.
Right?
Like, wouldn't you have done that?
Yeah.
Yeah, of course.
When I look at 12 o'clock, when I look at three, boom, jaguar, watch out.
You're not sneaking up on nobody, Jaguar.
Who are you sneaking up on?
Yeah, two cockeyed people.
You good, money, bro.
Put two cockeyes in the front.
Steph Curry Momentum Check00:11:33
Done, that's 360.
Two cockeyes in the back.
That's 360.
Literally, how are you dying, bro?
That's how humans made it out the jungle.
Maybe Moses with Cock Eye.
Maybe that explains why he was leading him around the desert for 40 years.
Like, maybe we should go this way.
Which way?
Point.
Because your eyes are everywhere.
This is funny.
So now the Jews and Muslims hate us.
Everybody hates us.
Moses is Jewish.
Oh, he was Jewish.
I forgot about that.
I never can unify them in something.
Yo, we'll bring them together.
What if he's like the key to life?
He's in the Middle East.
Like, they all just hate Andrew collectively.
We have them united, right?
They're finally seeing the same thing.
Unlike cockeyed people.
Oh, fuck.
Oh, man.
That should be a sport.
We'd gather some cockeyes.
We should be like, all right, look straight, go.
Yo, when they said, like, just when there's a cockeyed NBA player on the dunk contest and he dunked two balls at once, this shit gonna be or when he whiffs both.
My bad, guys.
I was looking out the left.
Let me run it back.
Oh, fuck.
This gather's gonna be mad crooked.
He's gonna run to the hoop this way.
Oh, my God.
Okay, what other sports?
That missed by that's oh, shit.
I just fucking had a seizure.
You're about to fall out.
No, but missed dunk by Steph.
That shit was.
Yo, James Harden had a good playoff game.
He had a good game.
I gotta give it up, man.
I gotta give it up.
This is, I watched that game.
Y'all were, I think you were on stage at the beginning of the game.
So I watched the beginning.
And he starts off like three for 10, shooting fucking threes, trying to draw fouls like a pussy.
And then all of a sudden, he just starts driving.
And you forget what a fucking ox this guy is.
Yeah, he's big.
If he drives to the hoop, he's so hard to stop.
But he's been doing this pussy ass fall away three-pointer drive, trying to draw fouls for two years.
When he drives to the hoop and then gets his shot going, whole different ballgame.
Yep.
It's weird, though.
Weird stat I found out.
Like, especially after you said that, they said he has the third most 40-point games among like active players or some shit.
In the playoffs?
In the playoffs, yeah.
I was like, where were these games?
I don't remember.
We can't tell you a single one.
Here's a perfect example of somebody who needs a marketing leg because the narrative on him is dog shit and he has no way of changing it.
Like if he had a version of the shop, if he had a version, or if he was more active in an interesting way on Instagram and the way LeBron was, when Sports Center or Flagrant 2 or any of these other outlets start shitting on him, he could correct the course.
But he just does not have that.
He's just not interesting.
Well, he's not interesting, but he also doesn't have like a marketing leg that can make him interesting, right?
If I'm his manager, I'm like, yo, we need to write the course of this shit because it's too bad.
Because I was looking up a stat.
Alcosh and I were talking about this in a green room.
And before game four, it was just games three.
Sorry, before game three.
So games one and two.
James Harden had 64 points on 47 field goal attempts and 10 rebounds.
And Kevin Durant had 64 points on 47 field goal attempts and 10 rebounds.
Now, up until that point, we were all, myself included, riding KD's day.
He's the best player in the game.
And we were shitting all over Harden.
Like, he just can't cut in the playoffs.
And I'm like, how the fuck?
We got one thing wrong here.
Yeah.
And we ended up agreeing that we were probably letting KD coast on his last series when he wasn't maybe playing as good in the Rocky series.
And then we were probably being a little harsh on Harden.
But it is.
That first game was easy to be hard on him about, though.
But it's easy because we're already primed, right?
We already went into this, like, this is playoff Harden.
He always fucks up in the playoffs.
Like, there was a time with LeBron where it was like LeBron Cowers in the playoffs.
And then he hit a couple game winners.
He had some big series.
He had some game seven wins.
And we're like, oh, no, LeBron brings it.
It only takes a couple games.
It only takes a couple games to switch.
It does.
And you can already see it switching with James, right?
Clutch.
Like, I see that big three.
It's like, Mr. Clutch.
I was like, oh, yeah.
He has six points in overtime.
That's good.
Solid.
And I've said the whole time, I'll give it up to him when I see it in the playoffs.
I saw it in this game three.
We'll see if it continues.
But this is the first time I've watched Harden in a big playoff game because I think they need that game.
Not all playoff games are big.
I mean, they are, but like, if you're in the first round against a jazz that you know you're going to beat, it's not that big.
Warriors Clippers is not big.
Yeah.
This is big.
This is big.
And he had a good game and a big game.
Yeah.
It only taken two or three games to switch.
Like the same shit with Steph.
Like you have two or three bad playoff games, and now it's like, you are a joke.
We've quietly said this, though.
We've quietly pointed out that Steph has no finals MVPs.
Yeah, that was last year.
It was debatable.
If he got it last year, nobody's mad.
Katie got it because he had the one.
He dotted LeBron in the eye for the game.
That was it.
But with Steph, it was always the finals MVP.
He was never stinging up in the playoffs.
But the finals, he was never the same Steph.
He would always have great playoff runs, and then when he gets to the finals, it'll just be like, he'd be aye.
Yeah.
Just all right.
18 points a game.
Yeah.
Not like that statistic, but not, he's not going Jordan.
It's also wild if you win a finals and your sixth man gets playoff MVP finals MVP.
Iggy got off the because he played all right defense on LeBron.
That's why he got the finals.
Yeah, no, it's true.
It's insane.
And Iggy played his ass off in this last game.
Yeah, Iggy was hooping.
He was hitting those threes.
He was very important.
It's crazy how in shape he still is.
He looks like a fucking like he looks like a basketball player.
Bro.
Like just cut up, still super athletic after all these years, still locking up, can hit a little three before.
Stop going to them cookouts, bro.
It's too hard.
Come to a nice picnic, bro.
Get them cucumber sandwiches.
Everything's good to go.
We were talking about James Harden not having a personality, but like Kawhi has no personality, but that's his personality.
His personality is he has no personality.
He's a fucking machine.
Whether he wanted this marketing, whether he wanted the marketing to go this way or not, the marketing has gone that way.
There's already a narrative.
There's momentum in that direction.
I think you even pointed out, you were like, is New Balance not the perfect sneaker for Kawhi?
It's the most on-brand fucking sneaker pairing I've seen in forever.
100%.
Since like, I don't know, since.
But there's a guy who's lucky, and we want to root for him because he has one and we know how good he is.
I think a guy like James Harden needs a massive PR push, and I think you can turn the perception of horrible into the playoffs into clutch with the right people around.
I also think he needs big series wins.
Yes.
Kevin Durant would have.
He needs another game like that, right?
He needs to win this series.
He needs to win a series like this.
I mean, if he wins this series and he has big games, they can lose in the next round.
But I think we'll go, oh, no, Harden brought it.
I mean, it's like there's always naysayers, I think, until you win the ring, but yeah, a lot of it would die.
I would be like, you take out the Warriors, and it's harder than it takes him out.
That's what I'm saying.
Shift a little bit.
You shift a little bit.
You take out the defending champions.
That narrative changes immediately.
He could not win the finals.
And it's like, well, they took out the Warriors.
And I'm cool.
A lot of people would be cool with that.
But I don't know.
I still don't think it is.
Question: Is Chris Paul the least likable player in the NBA?
The least likable superstar or like least likable.
Let's go superstar.
Yeah.
I loathe this guy.
I used to like him.
Watching him play just the constant yapping, the constant complaining, the little petty foul shit.
Like, it's just awful.
He just plays like, he plays like he's in the rec center.
He plays like he's the old man at the rec center playing with the kids, trying to like bully so beautiful.
And it was like, it was, it was a nice, it was cool when he was younger because it was like, oh, wow, look how savvy he is.
But now, here's the thing: when you're at the rec center and you're playing the old guy, why does he have to do that?
Because he's not as athletic as he is.
Yeah.
Chris Paul is not as athletic as anybody.
Without a doubt.
That's why you got to do that.
He is the old man at the rec center.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm not denying it.
Steph taller, quicker.
But like the little shit that he does that's outside of the game of basketball, like there was a moment where like he was boxing out KD, but it was like a pretty not even boxing out.
I think he was like trying to fight a pick and roll or something.
It was an obvious foul.
He gets his little shots.
It was an obvious foul, right?
And then they called it, and then he's like looking at the teleprompter.
He's like, well, look at the, and then KD's like, come on, what are you even doing?
Like, he didn't even engage with him.
He's like, what are you doing?
There's another moment where they called a foul on whoever was guarding Harden, and he starts putting his arms in the air and going, yay.
Yeah, I saw that.
That was so funny.
Shut the fuck up.
That was so fucking corny.
Horrible.
I'm like, my dude, put up some numbers.
Put up some numbers, though.
Like, quietly, you've been stinking it up.
If it wasn't for Eric Gordon.
Yo, Eric Gordon.
If it wasn't for Eric Gordon, you'll be down for real.
I don't think they win this series.
This year, too, he beats him.
Last year, Beast.
Here's another perfect guy.
If he had a marketing squad around him, think about how we spoke about Lou Williams in a losing series, right?
Lou Williams, the greatest six-man in history, who gets buckets like this.
Eric Gordon, going out there every single day.
It's always been healthful with him.
With his fucking teenager body.
He looks like a fat teenager, right?
He goes out there every day.
Go like squirrel.
He gives them buckets.
He's wet from three.
He gets to the basket really well and finishes at the rim.
And you hear nothing.
As long as Eric Gordon keeps him in games while Harden bums it up.
The best thing Chris Paul is doing is playing so you can rest Eric Gordon a little bit.
That's Eric.
Chris Paul's biggest contribution in the series is giving Eric Gordon a breath.
Yeah, give Eric a breath.
Imagine that we told him that he would go crazy.
But you are the Eric Gordon insurance policy.
You are state farm for the future.
And I like Chris Paul because he's little and I relate to small dudes on a court.
But yeah, Eric Gordon is beast in the series and Chris Paul is nowhere to be found.
Facts.
Fuck, it's crazy, man.
LeBron is ahead of the game.
You will see other athletes start to do this.
You'll see them start to hire these agencies, man.
That's what KD is doing.
Ah, yes.
Yes, yes, he's a good player.
He's at the boardroom show and he's got a lot of adventures and all that shit.
He needs it too.
That's why he's probably going to New York.
Just to rewrite his narrative a little more.
Yeah, he knows that we're so abused that it's like Stockholm Center will operate on.
That's apparently what I'm hearing.
He knows if he gets you guys to the conference finals.
That's it.
I think this year, this past year, he figured out not all rings weigh the same.
LeBron Brown.
One ring in Cleveland weighs way more.
If KD gets his third one, weighs more than all three of those.
That one in Cleveland.
And if KD gets one in New York, fuck it.
You are on the Mount Rushmore of the NBA players if you bring a title to New York.
So true.
Immediately.
I mean, I don't agree with that, but yeah, it would do a lot of people.
Immediately.
Mount Rushmore is a little wild, but I would see why a New Yorker would say that.
Not even just being in New York.
I mean, like, you look at KD's numbers, like, you know, without any bias, like, he's one of the greatest players that ever played a game.
He's not even, he hasn't even been the greatest player in the game besides the last three weeks.
We just gave him this title of best in the league.
He's been a top five player his whole career.
That's been awesome.
And he's been a top five player in a time period where the top five players are arguably within the top 10 or top 15 of players all time.
Ever.
Right?
So like the guys are some good guys around him.
It's like KD's great, but then like he came in like in Kobe's peak.
And then Mount Rushmore.
I understand what you're saying.
I think it's reasonable.
Mount Rushmore is a tricky one because there's top five.
But like he is top four.
Blue Chew Doctor Visit00:02:51
Sure, top four.
But like there's immense talent going right now and he is at the top.
You know, he's the top maybe three.
You have to say top three.
Oh, yeah.
And the other two guys, one of them is definitely on Rushmore.
Yeah.
You know, so it's elite talent.
Right.
He's going to go down as one of the best.
And I think that's his mission if you come to the bottom of the business.
And we will fucking suck his dick in New York in a way that they've never experienced.
And I know you thought guys could suck dick in San Francisco.
Let me tell you about New York Knicks fans the way that we are going to suck.
It's going to be a game challenge.
I root for the Warriors like he's already on the Knicks.
Like, I root for Katie like he's already done.
Let's go, KD.
Get these buckets, boy.
Like, I don't know why.
Here's the thing, though.
In New York, he's top of the food chain.
One thing I've learned about Katie, he don't really like being on top.
He's been killing them.
So just think about, you know, he might be comfortable in Golden State.
Speaking on that, let's pay some bills.
Did you know that Blue Chew brings you the first chewable with the same FDA-approved active ingredients as Viagra and Seattle?
So you know they work.
Many of you know they work.
Shout out to the people in Dallas came up to me after the show with their lady, gave me the wink and saying about to chew it out.
And the girl just giggles because she knows what time it is as well.
You can take them anytime, day, or night.
And since they're chewable, they work up to twice as fast as a regular pill that you swallow.
Why don't we just chew all pills?
That's a good question.
Man, I'll be figuring everything out to science, bro.
I figured out eye patches.
I figured out chewables.
What else I figure out?
Ramadan.
Ramadan.
Man, I'm killing it.
Picnics.
This isn't.
By the way, this isn't just for guys who can't perform.
We all know this, okay?
This is a guy who wants to be incredibly functional and efficient.
What'd you do?
Optimum performance.
Optimal.
Listen, we optimize our masculinity over here.
All right.
Most guys talk a good game and you're one and done.
That's me.
That's me.
I'm not afraid to say it.
Blue Chew is going to help that follow-up game.
That round two, the Punisher right there, when you laid that shit down, you're not worried about coming because you already got to come out your balls.

Let's get back to the show.
We didn't really talk.
Wait, real quick.
You pull it up?
Jokic Fresh Legs Strategy00:14:56
We called up the Rockets lineup.
Iman.
Who is that?
Son, how does that happen?
Oh, man.
Yo, Google is wild, what is that singer's name?
Big ass.
Macy Gray.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, Macy Gray.
I thought that was a girl that got her head chopped off on the Masande.
Yo.
That is wild.
Don't disrespect Masande.
Yeah, nah, that's fun.
I'd be so tight.
Imagine if you were him right now.
Who is this?
Stop playing with me.
That's so fucking funny, man.
I say.
All right.
All right.
We didn't really talk Blazers' nuggets, really.
Four overtimes is crazy.
Any thoughts on it?
They were trying to kill Jokic, man.
Man, Jokic was out there huffing.
I'm impressed by game four, though.
To come back and win.
Yeah.
I'm impressed.
I mean, this series is going seven, right?
I hope it goes seven.
It's been a real entertaining series.
It's such a yin and yang series.
Like, the Blazers are very high-powered.
They got very backcourt heavy.
Right.
Fucking Jolchic slowed the game down.
Like, I feel like the more it went to more overtimes, the slower the game got to.
I think that benefits the Nuggets more.
I think Jokic, like, if they get to slow the game, yeah, but he was done in overtime.
The guys carry them in overtime.
And this is why I couldn't understand.
Why'd you put Rodney Hood in so late?
Because Will Barton was carrying the Nuggets in OT.
He should not be carrying the Nuggets, but he had fresh legs.
Rodney Hood didn't play since he played like 20 minutes.
And he's playing well this series.
Why'd you wait till the fourth fucking overtime to put it in?
As soon as he put him in, I'm no basketball expert, but I was like, yo, I think they can win now.
I think he'll get buckets.
And then he got buckets because he's just fresh.
Yeah, his legs are fresh.
That's right.
He hit the three.
You're not hitting threes for overtimes in.
Your legs are fine.
That's what killed the Rockets in game seven.
Yeah.
Dead legs.
Yeah, no, that's a great point.
It is an interesting strategy that you probably don't work on that much in practice, which is your fourth overtime squad.
Right?
Like, you never come across that situation.
You don't think you're going into that many overtimes.
That's a really good coaching move.
If the coach made that play in the moment, yeah.
Oh, he said he was somehow his hand was forced.
I don't remember what happened.
But still, like, you want to take credit.
He's like, I can't.
Something happened that I had to put in.
All right, I respect that.
I started coming around on Jokic.
Yo, can I make a bold statement about Jokic, which is not that bold anymore?
What's up?
That's the best big man in the league.
It's not that bold.
Not that bold.
He's going to lose a little weight to see.
Honestly, I'm not calling a five.
Yeah, I'm keeping Johnson to the floor.
I'm about to say that.
I'm keeping Johnson to the floor.
But I think he's the best bold man.
He's a point center.
It's unreal.
Better than Embiid?
Yeah.
Way.
I like him better.
I think he's better than Embiid.
Better than Embiid has more talent.
Yes.
I think Yolchi.
More skill.
This is way more.
Way more skilled.
Better handle, better passing.
It's the passing that blows me away.
It's the fucking passing.
He's the best passer on his team.
It's like he plays on a rookie.
He doesn't do nothing.
He doesn't.
It's like Arvida Sabonis.
Yeah.
Sabonis.
What we heard Arvida Sabonis was before he got here.
That's what everybody says.
Everybody's like, if you've never seen him before, it's like when people was hyping Sabonis before he came to the Blazers and came to the NBA, this is exactly what he looked like.
Just dominating from the post, crazy passes, scoring easily, just like.
Dude, and it's natural.
He is natural.
But there is something interesting.
When you have a big man that has good hands and then he can not only dribble, but pass.
Think about this again.
He's perched up there at the highest point.
He has the best physical vision.
If you're 5'11 or 6 feet tall, of course you're gonna get a pass picked off as you throw it across because you don't even see the defender waiting.
This guy's seeing everything and he's delivering off the dribble, one-handed dimes.
Yo, one of the things I looked at Lonzo in college and I was so impressed of, I was like, ooh, that's off the dribble.
He's doing like hook passes.
I was like, this guy's good.
This guy's cross-court hook.
This is what he's doing.
There was one of the pass that man.
He made that was so insane.
Between the legs dime?
Not even a between the legs one when it was like the shot clock was running down and I thought it was a shot clock violation.
And then he had a wide open shot and at the very last second he threw it to I think Murray or Barton and got a wide open layup and one.
That was like the game rate.
Who the fuck even has the ball to throw that with like less than two seconds on the shot clock?
Yo, Denver, this is my first extended look at them.
Kind of like Portland.
You just don't think about them on the West.
Yeah.
They are fucking deep.
And they're going to get better.
I think Malik Beasley is going to be nasty.
I think Jamal Murray is only getting better.
They got Michael Porter Jr.
They got Michael Porter Jr.
If he's healthy if he's healthy and you got a like a what do you call it a glut of good wings yep trade him try to get another piece and you got a squad I think what's the deal with Isaiah LeBron is an idiot for not going there sorry what's the deal with Isaiah Thomas is he done like healthy they're just not playing he's not playing him and that was the thing in four OTs they're like you're not gonna let Isaiah get a little That's what I thought.
I was like, yo, give him the bro or something.
But it is interesting.
I think Denver is poised to make serious moves in the West.
And for the future, not just now.
Let's say Michael Porter, he's coming back from a tough back injury, but let's say it does work out.
And that was their gamble.
They were like, we already think we're a good team.
This guy could not be okay.
And then we miss out on a pick.
But if he is, we go from good to elite.
Yeah.
If he's anything like people have said he is, they're an elite team.
Absolutely.
I mean, you already have a potentially past first five who has range.
And now you're going to add a six.
What is he?
Six, eight.
Ooh, Porter?
Porter.
I think Porter's taller than that.
Maybe.
I heard 6'8.
I thought I heard 6'8.
Okay, now you have a legitimate modern three.
You have the modern three with range and athleticism.
Right.
Even in the small doses we saw of him in college and he was coming off an injury.
He was a bucket.
Yeah.
Every single time he got the ball, he was a bucket.
And then you could see him wince a little bit.
And that's.
And they're getting better is what's crazy.
Like, these guys are young.
6'10, right?
6'10.
Yeah, I thought he was up there, too.
Yeah.
What's his name?
Jamal Murray, like I said, getting better.
Jokic, I think, gonna lose weight.
I think this four-over-time game showed him I gotta lose some weight.
And like, when you look at a guy like that, it's two things.
It's all diet and drinking.
Yeah.
That NBA body.
Because there's no, you're getting way more cardio than any human needs.
Yeah.
If you're still heavy in the league, you have either a drinking problem or you're just not watching what you eat at all.
My theory about Paul Pierce is that he drank a lot because he was always kind of soft.
Yeah, it was.
Yeah.
I mean, anytime you see that type of doughiness, it's just a guy who's a lush.
Simple as that.
And some people can function as a lush, or some people just have.
And I don't blame a dude that literally is working out the hardest any human does for 40 minutes in a basketball.
Like you're exhausted.
After that, you want a bowl of pasta.
Yeah.
You know what?
You can't eat potato.
It's like if he goes on that Kevin Love shit where he went from dumpy because he was a little bit of a drinker and he ate some whatever to regimented diet, you could see some scary shit with Jokic.
He's already nimble and he's fat.
Yeah.
Yo, I feel like Love lost a little bit of his strength in the post.
Like when I saw Clay Thompson guarding him, I was like, you got too skinny.
Yeah.
You got too cute.
But the cardio went up and he had his legs for threes at the end of the game.
And I think that was the trade-off.
I was like, Steph Curry, right?
In that play in the post-game went away when he lost the weight.
He was definitely a little bit more than Jokic.
You just lose a little weight.
Don't lose 10, 15 pounds max.
Get in the weight room, get stronger, but just get leaner and in better cardio shape.
That's a good point.
Don't get too skinny.
Don't get too skinny because Jokic is nice in the post.
I just want him to just cut up.
I don't even want him to lose weight.
Just cut that up.
Yeah, turn it into something.
Take that into some muscle and then fuck out of here.
You are the best big man in the league.
It's not your question.
Team in on Dame, who I love, but he hadn't.
I mean, he's trying to find other people, whatever, but at the end of the game, I saw him miss a big free throw last night.
Yep.
That was big.
That was rare.
Big miss.
Yep.
Dame time a little late right now.
Rough, rough for Dame.
Yeah, rough for Dame and Seth, man.
Really rough for the two.
He still had like an ugly 30.
Damien Lillard?
Damien Lillard?
Oh, he did?
He still had an ugly, it was like nine for like 20-something.
Yeah.
Yeah, it was a hardened line.
Low percentage, a lot of points.
Missed at big moments.
CJ McCollum cooked Seth Curry had like a huge second quarter.
Curry at home, man.
I would trust any role player like that at home to just bury buckets.
Yeah, three threes in a row.
And I think that's why they lost because they went away from him in the second half.
Yeah, 28 points left.
Curry was hitting.
And he just didn't, you know.
Maybe we start talking about Jamal Murray as an elite guard.
Dude, he's good.
He's really good.
Efficient.
I think he's a 90 guy at the free throw line.
He had six free throws in a row to steal the game.
They kept trying to get the foul game where you miss one, he just wouldn't miss.
And he came out cocky afterwards.
He's like, Yeah, I love free throws.
Like, that's where I'm at.
I remember watching him in the world games in high school when like Canada won.
And like, he was like the top dude in Canada.
Is he the first Canadian basketball player that you want to have the ball at the end of the game?
Name another.
Him and Steve Nash.
Maybe.
Oh, Nash.
Nash is a killer.
But dude, the dude is, he's got a heart, man.
Like, he plays with a lot of the knock on the Canadian players is they're soft, and he does not play like a Canadian.
I'll go this far.
He's having the best round of maybe any point guard this round.
He's having the best semifinals of any point guard.
Kyrie not doing great.
He had a good game one.
Now, not so much.
What do you think about what Kyrie said after the loss?
In game two?
Yeah.
This is what I live for.
No, no.
He said, I'm actually a genius.
Yeah, I'm actually a genius.
What was the quote?
Kyrie's a genius.
I know more about basketball than all these analysts who, whatever.
I've played a lot.
I'm actually a genius.
Yeah, I'm a genius when comfortable.
Yeah, he's a genius.
You know what?
Like, there's some truth to that because I always feel like the whole, you know, if you can't teach, do, teach shit is bullshit.
Like, if you can do, you do.
And with him, I just think he's a strange motherfucker, but he does have a point.
He does have a point.
Like, you're not going to tell, like, Charles Barkley, like, you played a different game than Kyrie played.
Like, all those NBA and TNT, everybody in ESPN, like, you could say whatever you want.
Like, Chauncey Bills, you're a point guard also, but like, it was a slow game when you were a point guard.
Like, it's not the same game that Kyrie's played.
So, I mean, I could get that.
I can see something like that.
What is your take on that?
I mean, I guess it's like, that's what I would probably say to anybody who's criticizing my comedy, but that doesn't mean they don't ever have a point.
Yeah.
I mean, like, is there something to be said that, like, a Charles Barkley would be able to play in this game today if he grew up in that?
I don't think that his game was, you know, idiosyncratic to the style of play at the time.
I think he actually could have been good in today's game.
He's a small guy.
He's athletic, positionless.
Dude, he's like, I mean, this is a disrespectful to Charles, but like, look how effective PJ Tucker is.
Right?
Like, look how effective this small go.
Do you want better?
Everybody says Zion looks like Chuck in college.
Yeah.
Not everybody.
I hear that all the time.
I hear that a lot.
I think Chuck Buckley.
That was the initial comparison coming out of high school.
Yeah, so I think it's one of these things where, you know what?
What is it?
A Blake Griffin.
You know, that kind of thing.
I think that I think you end up playing the style of play of your time.
But a lot of these athletes would have easily transcended their time.
But the guys who aren't athletes, the guys who didn't have much athleticism but were able to get by because of the limitations of the game, I don't know if they transcend.
But the guys who are raw athletic, come on, you'll figure it out.
But I feel like, you know, you got guys like Mark Price, like who was good for his time.
But if Mark Price played in this year's NBA, he's an easy 20-point, 22, 20, 25-point guy.
I don't know Mark Price enough to say, but Steve Kerr, I don't think plays in the NBA if it's now.
I think he has the end-of-the-bench role.
Yeah, I think he plays.
Philly got that white boy shooter at the end of the bench.
Yeah, TJ McConnell.
No, but he played.
But McConnell's not even a shooter.
He's just a point guard.
I think Kerr could actually be more valuable in that sense.
Just posting.
Kerr never had handle.
It was just knockdown.
Mark Price had handle.
Mark Price was a stupid way.
He was actually kind of like Steve Nash.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I just don't remember him playing.
I'm not knocking him.
I'm just saying, like, those types of guys, I don't think you see them in the NBA today.
I think that that time where, like, a Jeff Hornisek, like, do you really see him being an effective player?
A lot of white guys.
Say what?
I'm naming a lot of white guys.
A lot of athletic.
Yeah, like, you know, about it like a Reddick.
So here's the thing about J.J. Reddick, which is interesting, right?
J.J. Reddick transformed his body to get the most out of it so that he could be effective in the league.
He had a really pragmatic approach to his NBA game.
It was pretty cool.
So, what he did was he knew he wasn't going to handle the ball, and he knew all he was going to do was shoot and run.
So, he has this insane cardio regiment, right?
So, he goes, The way I'll be effective is if I'll get open, I'm not going to break any of these guys down in the dribble.
The athleticism is too good in the league, and these guys can lock me up one-on-one without a doubt.
But I can run away from him, and I can use picks, and I can get away.
And he is catered and leaned into whatever body type allows him to do that.
His cardio is through the fucking roof, and he's just knocked down.
Have you seen him put the ball on the ground?
It's almost embarrassing.
I think I have better handle than J.J. Reddick.
I mean, that seriously, his finishing at the rim is dog shit too.
It doesn't really finish well at the rim, but if he doesn't have to, and it was it was like it was a very interesting approach to the game.
He knew exactly what sliver he could be effective, and he just went for that and exploited it.
I don't knock a guy for that.
No, I just think the 2019 versus the NBA, there's just so many possessions in the game.
Like, the fact that we've had two playoff games that didn't crack 100 points is like wild.
Where back in the 90s, 80s, like it was wild to crack 100.
Yeah, exactly.
That was the Sun's offense.
Sorry, yeah, Suns, Mavs.
Yeah, what do they call Kings?
The running gun.
You get like 103, 101.
What was it called?
17 seconds or less or something?
Seven seconds.
Seven seconds or less.
And you were getting like 104, 10, 110.
That's crazy.
Yeah, you weren't getting 120, 130.
Like, I remember watching those, like, Dan Tony's sons.
I'm like, wow, these guys just shooting me.
And it was like, they had like average 110 points a game.
Now we got playoff games that end in regulation, like 140 to 120.
Mike Dan Tony is the worst transformative coach in history of sports.
Do you remember?
Wait, why do you say that?
Because he really did change the game.
Yeah.
But he also has never made it to the finals.
And I always, every time you can point to your lack of rotation and you never fucking learn.
And his lack of Don Nelson.
He's Don Nelson.
Yeah, Don Nelson, I think, kind of led the way for Dan Tony.
But Dan Tony's the guy everybody points to as revolutionizing.
Nelson has been doing it and it didn't really tip.
Because they're not.
Mike D'Antoni Coaching History00:03:51
Because they consider Daniel an elite genius.
No, no, no.
It's not the book.
Like, you know, coaches, GMs, like presence and that stuff.
He holds these summits in the summer where he'll go speak in front of just we're not talking about kids.
We're talking about elite coaches, GMs, and all these people.
And they all go, they pay homage, they kiss the ring because they truly believe he is an offensive genius in terms of scheme.
Maybe one of his deficiencies is he doesn't have a deep enough bench or he doesn't believe enough in the bench, whatever.
But strategically, how he's changing the game, they really look up to him.
And that's why he'll keep getting jobs because the powers that be in the league are like, no, he's nice.
He's like Marty Schottenheimer.
Maybe he's a genius and it doesn't translate to wins like Kyrie.
Maybe, maybe that's it.
I would listen to Kyrie if he was given like that's a great unless it was how do you make your team better.
Yeah.
That's the one I wouldn't listen to.
Right.
And I know you're joking, but like you're right, though.
Like, if Kyrie wanted to tell me how to finish effectively at the rim, I'm there listening.
Yeah.
It's a genius level talent to like know how to.
His genius scorer.
Yeah.
Not change.
Just like the way he angles himself off the fucking backboard and the rims and all that shit.
The way he uses.
He does judo shit.
Like, you know how they say judo is all about like using the weight of your opponent?
Yeah.
Like, I'm going to use your weight to help me throw you, et cetera.
If you watch the way he gets guys on his hip, like, and then uses their weight leaning on him to position them behind.
Yeah.
And if you ever watch Kyrie, it's because it's never blinding speed.
It's change of pace speed.
Yes.
He is like acceleration.
So he'll get you on your back and he'll stop a little bit just so he gets a little contact.
And once he gets the contact and he finishes easy and one, easy finish or something like that.
He's a master at that.
Yeah, it's pretty cool to see.
Yeah.
It's pretty cool to see.
I still think we haven't talked about Kawhi.
Besides him being fucking Jordan.
He's the truth.
He looks like fucking Jordan out there.
He's the truth, man.
My God.
I called him Good Shot Selection.
I called him Good Sock Shot Selection Kobe on Twitter.
That's funny.
And I was like, so they were like, oh, so you're saying he's Jordan?
I'm like, yeah, I guess.
I guess he's Jordan.
Super efficient.
I think he's shooting like 70%.
It's crazy.
67%.
Some wildly high number.
Guys.
Averaging like 35 a game.
I've said, I said, I said I didn't like Philly's immaturity.
I didn't think they were going to get past Toronto.
And I think Kawhi is good enough to ask you guys.
When you see Kawhi next to Jimmy Butler, I always consider Jimmy Butler a man.
Right.
But when you see them next to each other, one is a child.
One is a pubescent teenager.
Yeah.
And the other is a grown-ass fucking man.
How does Jimmy look so tiny next to Kawhi?
Kawaii's a monster.
But aren't they similar height?
What is Jimmy's?
They're both like 6'7.
Son, Jimmy looks a foot shorter than Kawhi.
Kawhi long.
Kawhi's got long, bigger.
Big fucking head and his shoulder.
He's a fucking hands.
He's wide as hell.
He's a transformer.
Yeah.
He looks like a fucking transformer out there.
Everyone's always like, oh, he doesn't do anything fancy.
It's because he doesn't fucking need to.
Funny enough, Jimmy Barbara is listed as 6'8, but then Kawhi is listed as 6'7.
There's no way.
That's crazy.
There's no way.
There's no way.
You see them guarding each other.
I mean, like, they measure Butler's hair.
Yeah, it's gotta be the hair.
It's gotta be the hair.
But like, he just plays the game so smoothly, so in control.
Like, he does everything he can do.
The commenters said after the win, Kawhi gave his little speech, and then he walked away.
One of the commenters goes, Kawhi is actually incredibly happy right now.
His face just doesn't know yet.
Kawahi Post Win Speech00:04:48
That's a great line.
Oh, man.
So, yeah, Toronto getting out of this series?
I think so.
I've had them since the beginning.
I'm like, Danny Lowry, though, to step up.
Kyle Lowry.
I don't even think they need to.
They won with a shitty Pascal Siakim game.
And I'm like, I don't think he's going to have two shitty games in a row.
That's fair.
Pascal Siaka.
He's hurt, though, right?
What is his injury?
What is his injury?
I don't remember.
Calf or something?
Ankle?
Something like that.
Yeah.
Okay, so we have Toronto probably coming out.
We think Milwaukee is going to make it happen.
Best out of three, two of those games are in Toronto.
I think Toronto takes it.
All right, what else we got outside of basketball?
We did a lot of basketball.
Yeah, we did a lot of basketball.
You guys, you know, we should have talked about this earlier.
You heard about these Burger King unhappy meals?
No, you were telling me this, and I refused.
I said, I want to hear live.
I want to see live what is happening.
Eden, pull out the article, please.
And if you can, let me know if I say something wrong after.
But basically, Burger King's response to McDonald's happy meal is: hey, people aren't happy all the time.
You don't have to be happy all the time.
There's no pressure for you to be happy all the time.
So they created meals that aren't happy meals.
They have six boxes.
They have a sad meal, a salty meal, a DGAF meal.
What is that?
Don't give a fuck for me.
A pissed meal and a yas meal.
I would say that again.
Yas.
Why would anybody sell any meal called pissed?
I just don't.
Damn.
This is what happens when you cater to the cucks.
This is it.
Some idiot marketer was like, yay, mental health is a big deal.
Let's get out in front of it.
We'll look cool.
We'll look progressive.
Don't try to look progressive.
You look like an idiot.
And if you see the commercial, the commercials.
Are you telling me there's a meal called Sad Meal?
So I have to go up, I have to go into a fast food restaurant.
Oh, no, they're called Blue Meals.
Sorry.
Blue Meals.
Okay, Blue Meal is better.
But like, I have to go through this.
I would rather do that than a Yas meal to go into a fast food restaurant.
Clearly, clearly, I'm already depressed, right?
If I'm walking into a fast food restaurant to get a pre-organized meal, and then I have to order a meal that acknowledges my depression.
Hey, stranger, that works at the fast food restaurants.
I'm already being judged by someone who makes $6 an ounce.
Okay?
Someone who works there is looking at me like, why the fuck are you here?
And then I go, I'll have the blue meal.
And they go, yes, you will.
Dude, this is brutal.
This is insulting.
Salty actually kind of sounds cool.
I want to know what's in the salty meal.
Yeah, I'm about to say, what's in it?
Do you know if the meals correlate to that?
And the quietly fucked up part about it is, especially with the cook comment you said, they're not doing it because they care about mental health.
No, they're just throwing a shot at McDonald's because they have happy meals.
That's not happy all the time.
So they don't really give a fuck about people who are blue or pissed or sad or whatever.
They don't want to take one more fucking shot at McDonald's because they still slapping all around for all the time.
Burger King going out of business, bro.
No, but I ain't gonna lie.
I kind of like when these little companies take shots at each other online.
Yeah, this just failed.
I don't mind the idea.
But this just mad corny.
Who's the other one?
I was McDonald's.
I'll just lean into it and sell it.
Because you can't take shots by being like taking what you like a fake high roll.
That's not taking shots.
Like, there's no rat before the guy's like, I do more community service than you.
You don't care about anybody.
That's not bars, dog.
Drop bars.
There was a Wendy's who's like, oh, that's even lazier.
If you like this comment or something like that, we'll bring the spicy nuggets back.
And then some, I think, Burger King already has spicy nuggets and like, oh, been there, done that.
Like, they would just like to get Twitter leaf when the companies do that.
I like that.
I kind of like that shit.
Yeah, but that's like funny.
This is what's in the meals.
Do you get a blue chew with the blue meal?
I would turn that front upside down.
Turn a lot of things upside down, goddamn it.
It doesn't look like there's anything specific in each meal.
No, it's just, that's even lazier.
This is just so it's the same meal.
Wow.
But they just have a different box.
So you just want people to know how you're feeling that day.
We know that you don't give a fuck.
You're eating fast food.
I was about to say, like, I've never felt good about myself after eating fast food.
Or before.
Ever.
I never felt good going in.
Yeah.
Nobody eats Burger King out of happiness.
I mean, they're just promoting mental health on a real meals campaign.
Oh, my God.
Not everybody's crazy.
I'm getting annoyed with this whole mental health kick.
You're supposed to feel things.
Yeah.
There's this idea, like, you're not allowed to feel anything.
Like, feeling is natural, okay?
Just because you feel anxiety, it does not mean that you have an anxiety problem.
Anxiety actually keeps you alive.
Patreon Shout Out Friday00:11:56
Of course.
It's a very important tool in your life.
We all get anxious at times, and usually it's at times where we should be anxious.
So don't like we're doing this thing when maybe it's important to understand mental health.
We start understanding our feelings a little bit.
But like, I think we're all starting to diagnose ourselves with these issues that are completely normal and are completely okay.
You're supposed to get a little depressed sometimes.
You're supposed to be down.
You're supposed to be up.
This is the ebbs and flows of life.
You know why?
Because it's easy.
What is that?
It's easy to just be like, oh, it's easy.
Yeah, it's easy to just lean into like some sort of mental health.
Oh, yeah.
You know what I mean?
Like, it's easier to do that than just be like, just to confront a lot of things or the reality or to speak up, speak out, or just know, like, hey, like, shit ain't going to be sweet all the time.
All the time.
And we don't want it sweet all the time.
Oh, you don't.
You need those fucking low moments, man.
I was talking to Lewis earlier today, but we were just talking about how people in paradise do a lot of meth, right?
Yeah.
Like in these different places of paradise, right?
And like in Hawaii, for example, there's a whole lot of meth, bro.
There's a huge.
No, no, my buddy.
You've come to Australia.
You'll get into it too.
So like in Hawaii, there's a big meth problem.
Right.
The reason I feel like there's a big meth problem is we are not built for paradise.
We are built for problems.
We are built for things going wrong around us that we use our anxiety to help us solve, right?
Oh, shit, we got to find shelter.
Oh, shit, we got to find food.
Oh, shit, there's a warring tribe.
Oh, shit.
Our life should be oh, shits.
And now you're just relaxing on a beach with a fucking Mai Tai, and everything's good.
You got food, you got shelter, you got water, and your brain starts to go, I need some distraction.
I'd hate it.
Make me imagine you felt bad in paradise.
I'd hate it.
You think something's wrong with you.
That's what I'm saying.
Like, I would hate to live in paradise all the time.
Like, I could never, that's why I love being in New York.
Like, all my friends are moving out to LA and like, oh, it's sunny.
I'm like, all right, what happens when that gets old?
Boom.
What happens when, you know, that's used.
What happens when you get used to that?
You get used to that shit.
It's just like, nah, bro, like, I'm a New Yorker.
Like, I need this shit.
You know, like.
That's true.
Like, I came to, when I came here, someone at the cafe was like, oh, why did you come here when it was raining?
It's like, because it doesn't rain.
I want some fucking shitty weather.
Yeah.
It fucks up my shoes.
I'm like, cool.
That's great.
Well, it makes you appreciate it.
Yeah.
There's a part of it.
It's like you need to, you know, anytime you travel.
This place sucks.
I love it.
There it is.
Or it's like, I love where I'm from.
Like, I think, you know, people say go travel.
Obviously, go travel and you'll find all these great things about other places.
But it also gives you perspective on where you're from.
That's why you should travel.
That's exactly right.
I want to force people away.
Literally every year, or not, I would say once in everybody's life, they should be forced to go back to where their people are from, wherever you're from.
You've got to go back to Costa Rica or Nicaragua, where the fuck you're from.
You got to go back to India.
You got to go back to Nigeria.
I got to go back to Scotland.
And I promise you, we will have an immense appreciation for America.
And we'll stop bickering about like little shit because we know where we could have been.
Absolutely.
You know?
That's going to be our first trip.
We're going right back to Nigeria.
Yo, go.
And then you're going to come right back here.
Oh, that's the best.
Someone racism.
Let's celebrate with a picnic.
We in America.
It's like a little racism.
I have a cucumber sandwich.
I just don't want fucking Burger King patronizing me like that.
Like, I'm not a fucking idiot, man.
No one is happy all the time, and that's okay.
I need fucking Burger King to tell me that.
You losers?
Have a fucking burger and shut the fuck up.
Stop pitying me.
I hate motherfuckers pitying me.
Anyone, you know what?
It's okay to feel like, I know, bitch.
I need you telling me.
Yeah, yeah.
Who the fuck is you?
Yeah.
That's all.
I'm out.
I got it out.
Oh, gosh.
Hey, guys.
I got some dates that I want you guys to come close real quick.
I got some dates too.
Nashville, May 18th.
We're going to be there.
Zane's Comedy Club.
By the way, yo, it was crazy.
The merch that we had.
Ill merch.
Yo, thank you, man.
That shit is sold out.
Yo, I was about to say, like, it's sold out.
I got to get you.
That shit is sold out.
I need the fucking anti-soldier hoodie.
So we got three different pieces.
We got one I'm wearing right now, which is the stay sleep, not stay woke, stay sleep.
So y'all can see what it looks like right here.
Damn.
And it's the, it's a nice little play, but whatever.
You'll see.
And then, oh, Al, you got him?
Oh, shit.
That'd be dope.
You got some?
And then, no, so we could show them.
And then we got the oh, good throw.
And then we got the shit.
This is the joint, right?
So we got the anti-social justice warrior hoodie.
That shit is hot.
And it's in the same vein as the anti-social social club.
So it's dope.
That shit went real quick.
And then we got one more.
We got the Hezzy.
We got the Hezzy and Matador Tour long sleeve.
Now, here's the thing.
We sold out in Dallas pretty quickly.
My bad to all the people that didn't get it.
I hope.
But what we're going to do is we're actually going to mix it up.
You can only get the stuff at the live show.
That's the way to do it.
Right.
And I know there's a lot of people who are like, yo, you might not be coming to my city, this, that, the other.
And, hey, man, say lovey.
That's just how the fuck it is sometimes, man.
Supply and demand.
You know what I mean?
But I feel like you're going to come up to the show.
You're going to get it.
But I think what we're going to do is a little special drops as well.
So it might be something different in your city, but it's only going to happen at the live show.
So go there, go there early.
Copped it up, man.
I'm stoked about it.
Shout out to Mark Gagnon, man.
He was the one who put these together, man.
And they're so fucking cool, man.
I'm really excited.
And he's also opening on the show.
He's doing some very funny stuff.
Funny dude.
He's a very funny dude.
Very funny dude.
Actually, no, he's whacked.
We need to bully him a little bit more.
We can't be too nice to him.
I told him that he's still a rookie on the crew.
So he's not going to be able to get anything.
Nah, but you're not going to get any compliments.
You're not going to get any reinforcement.
None of that shit.
You got to earn your keep out here.
You know what I mean?
First weekend, you're not going to get no compliments.
Anyway, so shout out to Mark.
But so yeah, we got Nashville, May 18th.
Then we got Columbus, Ohio, Funnybone, 24th through the 25th of May.
I love that.
Amazing club.
Say what?
Chicken tenders.
Oh, the best chicken tenders.
Oh, it's the same best chicken tenders in the fucking world, man.
I cannot wait.
Yo, they better not change that recipe.
I'll be so embarrassed.
But I got to do a deal with the club.
Like, if you order chicken tenders, you get something or make it cheaper.
So everybody goes orders.
Anyway, then we got St. Louis, Missouri.
We'll be at the Helium Comedy Club out there.
Then we got Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Then we got San Francisco.

It's a big, big, big get.
So please come together.
Get them tickets.
That'd be nuts.
I just want to give a shout out to the patrons, man.
I talked about it in the last episode.
A good friend of mine who's also an asshole, a patron.
His name is Brian Gwinner.
He lost his baby girl, Hannah.
She was 22 months old.
She had a liver complication, had surgery, was healing well, we thought.
Then some basically shit got crazy and she passed away last Monday.
And there was a GoFundMe that was started to help cover medical bills and funeral costs.
And it went from Friday, the episode came out.
They had $13,000 and then it literally has doubled since then.
$26,000.
And if you read the most recent comments, it's pretty much all love from the asshole.
It's kind of fucked up.
It'll be like, yo, the asshole army got you.
Yo, assholes unite.
Assholes forever.
I read about this online.
I'm really sorry to hear about your daughter.
Assholes stick together.
Listen, man, I hopped in that Discord this weekend and it was nothing but like support for Hannah and the parents and like just fucking, you know, that's the beautiful thing.
We all might be fucking assholes, but when we all come for a fucking common cause and to support our own especially, like it's fucking dope as fuck, bro.
And it inspired me.
I'm going to start doing more reaching out.
We talked about this.
I'm very uncomfortable talking to fans and stuff like that, but like this isn't fans.
This is family.
It's family.
And I'm going to reach out and I'm going to make sure like I'll drop in the Patreon page every once in a while.
If I'm going to eat somewhere, a couple assholes want to come through, come through.
I'm going to show that a couple of people.
I'm going to go ahead and do a couple weeks ago, man.
This show was mad dope, bro.
So the idea from you, Andrew took 15 patrons to go see Avengers was dope.
Like I'm going to be more proactive about that and get over this little weird thing I got.
Good, good, man.
I think it's amazing.
Not touch the people, man.
What we did, you know, supporting.
I mean, it's really the reason why we wanted a community-based Patreon, not a content-based Patreon.
You know, there is a difference.
You know, we're not just giving people a few clips every week or a podcast every week, right?
We're inspiring you guys to connect with each other, discuss the things that we talked about, share your hot take, share your jokes, you know, and hopefully share your assistance and help.
And you guys did that for Hannah.
I mean, that's unbelievable to raise $13,000 in a fucking day.
I mean, I can't tell you what type of relief that probably is going to give Brian and his wife during this really tough time, man.
So it's just so cool that you guys did that.
And it's so cool to see the assholes kind of come together, especially at the shows, man, and talk to each other.
And y'all should do that.
You should build this up.
And it's crazy to see people giving out HBO Go passwords on their Patreon.
Bro, that's how I watch Game of Thrones.
It's really how it does.
You're getting my Wi-Fi on Delta.
No, that's how I get my Delta Wi-Fi as well.
At the T-Mobile joint, they give you an hour free.
It's like, it's the idea with the Patreon is when you have a community, you have people who are helping each other.
And I've always wanted people to get way more out of this than they give.
It is between $5 or $10 or $25, whatever measure you are on the patron.
My feeling and my hope is that you are getting way more out of it than you are giving into it.
And that would definitely make me happy.
So for those of you who are Patreon subscribers, the asshole army, we will see you guys and speak to you guys on Friday.
Oh, real quick, if y'all still want to donate, the link I think is still on your, is it still on your Instagram?
If not, I'll post it.
I'll have the link for the GoFundMe.
It's on my Twitter too.
It's pinned as well.
Brian is one of the best dudes I know.
So if you guys raise $500,000 on crazy shit like that beyond what he needs, he will pay it forward.
He will do the right thing.
I know this dude.
This is a good dude.
So all love to Brian, man.
Thank you guys for supporting.
Thank you guys for doing exactly what you do.
And we will speak to you guys Friday.
And if we don't speak to you guys Friday, we'll speak to you next Tuesday.
