Wild Takes On OnlyFans And Tesla Myths

Elon buying OnlyFans just to shut it down sounds like a joke, but it kicks off a real thread about how fragile online income can be when it’s tied to one platform. We break down what OnlyFans has become, why people pay for everything from adult content to niche “watch me do a thing” streams, and how fast internet culture turns attention into money.

Then we jump to tech and everyday reality: Tesla rumors, EV tire wear from heavy vehicles, where people actually charge, and why “electric” still gets weird when you’re talking about backup generators and infrastructure. From there it’s a sharp left into AI deepfakes and The Jetsons comparisons, plus a sobering bear story that turns into common sense talk about risk, bad luck, and the outdoors.

The back half gets sports heavy with fight takes and a long NBA playoffs run: the three point era, leadership optics, why depth matters, and what the Lakers do when scoring is easy but defense is optional. We also talk about athlete identity and pressure, including kratom, overdose risk, and why the fentanyl era makes “one bad decision” even deadlier. If you like unfiltered pop culture commentary and basketball debate that actually connects to real life, you’ll feel right at home.

OnlyFans Rumors And Celebrity Moves

SPEAKER_02 1:33

All right, so what's on the menu here now? We got a lot going on here. A lot going on here. So uh yeah, there's some things you're not aware of either. Well, so first of all, this is a good story. So Elon Musk piped up, good old Elon, and said that he was gonna buy OnlyFans and then he's gonna shut it down.

unknown 1:53

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:54

I'm like, hang on, I still make money on that bitch. So, and a lot of our friends do as well. Mike does this Nacy Tasslin thing. So, can you imagine if he actually fucking bought it and shut it down? All these stupid 20-year-olds hanging their titties out. Yeah, no more money, honey. You're gonna have to go work at Walmart, right?

SPEAKER_00 2:14

It's it's another platform that was. I'd get another platform, but like I mean, it's uh geez, man. I remember at the Olympics, like some of those athletes were saying the only way I could go is if like to actually start an only is to get the money to actually go because I couldn't even afford, you know. Because a lot of companies don't fund their athletes that much money, right?

SPEAKER_02 2:30

Canada doesn't fucking terrible, right? Yeah, I mean I knew lots of guys that went to the Olympics and get paid next to nothing. They had to get, you know, people, family donation. But you have to cover the cost of software, right? Kearney, how much money did you give to Ukraine? Can we have a little bit for the athletes? Just a little bit. Right? That's French, you fuck. So where were we on this one? We're wild today, baby.

SPEAKER_00 2:54

Uh you were talking about uh shutting down all the so here's the thing.

SPEAKER_02 2:59

I can't believe who just joined OnlyFans. She's 40. It's not Halle Berry, but good thinker.

SPEAKER_00 3:06

I wouldn't have guessed Halle Berry. Halle Berry's not even close to 40.

SPEAKER_02 3:09

She's almost 60 or something, right? Yeah, yeah. Uh she's a white girl, Wolf of Wall Street.

SPEAKER_00 3:14

Margot Rowley? Yep, Robbie, whatever. Yep. No, interesting. And I'm like, how wow. What did you do your money? Yeah, OnlyFans isn't always just of course it is, Mike. Shut up. Shut up. Yeah, of course it is. There's feet too.

SPEAKER_02 3:28

That's not what I was expecting. You almost killed me on that one. There's feet too. Yes, there is. Actually, there's uh a friend of Rogan's, I can't think of his name right now, but he was on Rogan. He's like, I bake bread on OnlyFans, and a lot of people watch me. I'm like, is that a euphemism for something? But no, he literally bakes bread and uh it's a big deal.

SPEAKER_00 3:50

So yeah, like you said, but you know, I think Elon's probably a platform for everything just wants to shut it down. That's just it. But I mean it's uh you know, it's uh I mean people fucking make tons of money unwrapping gifts, dude. There's a kid on there that's a whole thing. That's what I mean. The whole thing is just watch me unbox this thing or unwrap this thing. It's like, really? Like that's right.

Tesla Talk Tire Wear And Charging

SPEAKER_02 4:11

There's other dudes I saw, like they go and buy these uh boxes from Amazon. It's like a box, like twice the size of this thing in front of us. Okay, and inside of it's a whole bunch of shit. But you pay five thousand dollars for the thing that's returns from like Amazon. You don't know what you're getting, you don't know what's in the box. Some guys always socks, like you know, oh iPad, iPad, iPad, oh, iPhone, like right, but you don't know what you're getting. It's like some magic unwrap or some shit. Yeah, that's what they do. Yeah, weird. Yeah, you know, I mean, I don't know, but yeah, I thought that was funny. It's like, yeah, Elon, uh, shouldn't you be trying to get to space still? Like, you know, with this little SpaceX or whatever. I I was told that he's gonna stop making Teslas. Did you hear this? Uh no. Yeah, he said he's gonna stop making Teslas.

SPEAKER_00 4:56

How's he why's he gonna how's he gonna stop making Teslas?

SPEAKER_02 4:58

He's developed the brand and now he's like Well, apparently the the cars are making no money, so he's doing the robots and rocket things and the boar machine, right? Right, um, yeah, uh uh the other thing too is I just found this out. So um Jamie, the producer of Joe Rogan, has one of these uh Teslas, right? And he's like, I just took it in. And the guy says the fucking tires need to be replaced. He goes, I only have 10,000 miles on the car. And he goes, guess why the tires are worn out. And I didn't even think about it. You want to guess? The weight? Yeah, yeah, yeah. He says the fucking weight, the cars are so fucking heavy, the tires were out way quicker than normal. And then Jamie also goes, he goes, I also drive it like I stole it. So then I went, excuse me, did a bit of research, and apparently that's a big fucking problem. The tires are wearing out way faster than they should.

SPEAKER_00 5:50

Yeah, it's crazy, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 5:51

Pretty crazy, pretty crazy.

SPEAKER_00 5:52

Yeah, considering that I put almost between 25 and 30,000 K on a car every year.

SPEAKER_02 5:57

Holy shit. That's how much you put on?

SPEAKER_00 6:01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 6:02

Jeez, I just had my car and I almost had the car for a year.

SPEAKER_00 6:04

It's got 16,000 of it. I've had my car, I'm at like 170 something thousand K and my car's five years old.

SPEAKER_02 6:12

Yeah, so once again, hang on. Anybody wants to talk about driving? This is the guy. This guy right here, you just heard drives more than an 18-wheeler fucking long traw uh truck hauler.

SPEAKER_00 6:24

Man, it's uh you live, I live uh don't tell where you live. Oh, no, I was gonna say I live about a 30-minute drive outside of the city, right? Frederick, right. Of course. Yeah, so it's uh yeah, it's a lot of time on the city.

SPEAKER_02 6:35

That's a lot of you're gas built.

SPEAKER_00 6:38

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 6:39

We gotta get you an electric car.

SPEAKER_00 6:41

I want like the next car is gonna be a hybrid. I'm not going to be able to do that.

SPEAKER_02 6:44

Well, considering you drive that much, I think you should. Yeah. You know, hybrid, half hamster, half gas. That's it. Yeah. Right?

SPEAKER_00 6:49

Give up the fucking cats in another one of meals. Let's go, girls. Well, I told you the thing is that our, you know, like for for at my old workplace, there was uh they had the free charging system. Yeah, you could just plug her in, right? That's pretty cool. Yeah. That's pretty cool. For now, I'm sure they'll start charging eventually.

SPEAKER_02 7:03

You know what? I I I I haven't been to Walmart for quite some time, but I I never saw those things at Walmart or anywhere. Where do you charge them up at?

SPEAKER_00 7:10

Uh well I know that well, I again like I knew there's some at my work.

SPEAKER_02 7:13

There's some by um I saw one at a gas station in Trule, right?

SPEAKER_00 7:16

You look go the go to the atrium there, you know the atrium that all those uh you got the free, you got the the the voucher there for one of the stores in the Oh right, yeah, yeah. Uh they have like four or five uh charge stations outside the sleep country there. Oh yeah. Okay. So they're they're around. You just gotta look for them, I guess. Well, I mean, if you're rich, just fucking put it in your house, right? How much is the charger at the house, I wonder. Well, that's just it. You can have the there's two different styles, I believe I believe. Again, I don't know enough about this. Anybody that does chime in and let us know, but uh uh my understanding is that there's the there's the one that's like a it's like a dryer plug. Yeah that takes like a long time to charge, or you can get the one that the quick charge one, but that's like thousands of dollars. Oh, right, you can get that set up. Like, yeah, well you gotta you're you're you know you gotta get it all set up at the house so you so that it can like yeah, so it can generate and still the funniest thing to me about a Tesla is if your car runs out of battery in the trunk, you know what's in the trunk?

SPEAKER_02 8:11

A gas generator. You put gas in it, and then it will fucking charge your car by being like right. What? That's the like you think about that for a minute. Yeah, electric car. Uh you know how I found this out? I saw I saw a video.

SPEAKER_01 8:25

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 8:25

This guy was like, hey man, I need uh I need gas. The guy's like, you know you drive a Tesla, right? He goes, I know. And he goes, I don't think you do. He goes, No, no, no. The gas is for this. For the fucking he goes, get the fuck out of here. That was in the trunk of your car. He goes, Yeah, they came with it.

SPEAKER_00 8:40

You're still, I guess you're still using a lot, a lot less gas.

SPEAKER_02 8:43

Yeah, but isn't that funny that you have to go get gas to charge your electric car?

SPEAKER_00 8:46

Yeah, well, I guess it's uh they don't have a way to they don't have a way to to carry the charge to charge a battery without having to have gas to like power a generator.

Jetsons Predictions And AI Fakes

SPEAKER_02 8:55

Yeah, yeah. You know what else I just saw too? I just saw the Jetsons and they took shots from the Jetsons and went, look, uh FaceTime, Zoom, right? Online shopping. I'm like, hey man, they had it right. It's all there, yeah. Yeah, it's all there. Yeah. And I just saw another one with her, you know. Do you ever see the one where Judy takes his wallet? Like George takes money out and give her and and she grabs the wallet and takes off. Well, in this one, he fucking chases her. Oh no. Give me the wall, bitch. He fucking grabs the wall. No, I didn't see that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Somebody did an AI thing on it. It's like, oh my god, they're too good.

Deadly Bear Story And Safety

SPEAKER_00 9:26

Yeah, yeah. Too good. Yeah, I saw an AI video the other day of uh not to go back, not to go to basketball already, but of Ant Ant-Man kind of giving the gears to his teammates about how crappy they played or whatever. Okay, but fake. Yeah, fake. Oh yeah, fake, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 9:40

SPEAKER_01 10:05

Black bear?

SPEAKER_02 10:06

Yeah, black bear, which is kind of shocking, really, but because usually it's a grizzly, but yeah, black bear got him. Uh it was for some company, but yeah, it sucks bad. So uh the other thing, too, they're kev the Kevin Hart roasts.

SPEAKER_00 10:17

Well, it's that time of year, I guess, right? The cubs are up to the club.

SPEAKER_02 10:19

Well, that's what I'm thinking, right? You better be careful. You should know that, right?

SPEAKER_00 10:23

Don't get don't get between a mom and her cubs, don't get between a bear and its food source. Yeah, no.

SPEAKER_02 10:27

No, people should let when you're up north like that, there's you're probably a course. You're probably supposed to read them out.

SPEAKER_00 10:32

Oh, there's wilderness course.

SPEAKER_02 10:34

Don't feed fucking yogi. No, okay. You know what I mean? Like, yeah, all right. There's so many stupid people at the time.

SPEAKER_00 10:40

Well, it's just, you know, you come around a corner if there's a bear there and you're all of a sudden somehow manage to get between it and its cubs, like you're fucking. Well that's what I'm wondering.

Kevin Hart Roast And Roast Culture

SPEAKER_02 10:47

They didn't give too much information about the whole thing. Like, was he out taking a shit in the woods and then the bear came? You know, who knows, right? Yeah. Cubs and bear. No, not good. Never gonna turn out well for you. No. So the roast of Kevin Hart, as we were saying, pretty brutal. Yeah, I didn't know. But he had to okay it, right? Yeah. Shane Gillis was the uh was the uh MC, I guess. Yep. Always run by uh Jeff Ross. He does all the roasts he's the right behind. The roast master. Pete Davidson says, You look like the inside of a clam. That is so mean. Jeff has jalapish, he lost all his hair. Yeah, yeah. Like everything's gone. Yeah, yeah, but it's just like you asshole. But it is a roast. It's a roast, man.

SPEAKER_00 11:26

Like that's you gotta have a he has a thick skin because he's he's I mean, this is what I think. Oh, we took it.

Fight Talk Rousey Ngannou Diaz

SPEAKER_02 11:30

Did you see when Brady gave him that little tiny jersey? No, I didn't see that one. Tom Brady was badworthing him good the year before, and then he goes, Here, I brought you this, and it's like a jersey. He goes, Here it's a next jersey. Good shit. Yeah, right. Yeah, they just they had a whole thing when the you go into the show and it shows Kevin Hart's height. He's five two, and everybody's taller than all the people. Yeah, that's so mean. But anyway, funny. It is how much money they make off of you know everybody's gonna make fun of him for his height. Well, it doesn't take that's easy, that's easy going after. So yeah. Uh now what else was easy? Well, Rhonda Rousey somehow beat Gina Carrando in 17 seconds, left her watch on, Mike. Yeah, cover your shoes too.

SPEAKER_00 12:10

Well, it's like I saw it, and she could happen so fast. And I know people are shitting on, I saw them shitting on Rhonda today saying, You didn't even give her a chance to like, you know, get used to the lights, and it's been 17 years since you it's a fight, man. Like it's a fight. Gina should have been ready for that, right? Not to shit on Gina. It's been 17 years. She lost what do you say? A hundred pounds. Hundred pounds to go into this fight? Yeah, she got a divorce. But like, yeah. But uh like Rhonda, like Rhonda was Rhonda's not gonna stand up with Gina. She knows what's gonna happen if she tries to go toe-to-toe with Gina.

SPEAKER_02 12:41

Rhonda couldn't stand up with a fucking boxing kangaroo. Yeah. All right, she knew. Everybody knew how this was gonna get. It's in the no. It's in yeah.

SPEAKER_00 12:49

If you're a fan, I would have thought that she would have, you know, had a little bit, like she took her down like so easy and so fast. Like she maybe maybe it was just the nerves of being like, holy shit, like, you know, maybe Rhonda let me dance around the ring a few, you know, for for like 30 seconds or whatever to get used to it. Nope, came out, took it away.

SPEAKER_02 13:09

Rhonda is an absolute bitch. She is the worst thing ever in MMA. Everybody hates her, that's why she got canceled. Um, there's no way she wanted to lose that. If she would have stood Gina Corrana, Gina Corrano, I told you, would have knocked her into the shadow realm. All right. So all she did, everybody talked about it. Every every show you watch, you're gonna rush in, grab her, arm bar. Yeah, just like that. And if she didn't, look what would happen. She'd be on Queer Street because you'd be all over the place when she gets smoked. Yeah, yeah. Right now, if all y'all were like, oh, well, hang on, man, it wasn't entertainment. It wasn't fucking entertainment, it was a fight. It was a fight. It wasn't Jake Paul and fucking bitch slapping Mike Tyson, no shots, or uh Tyson has a clear shot at him and goes. Right and goes, uh yeah, right, because I'm not gonna get paid. Right. Read the contracts as you're not sure you don't get paid. And then the other one, uh Roy Jones Jr., Mike Tyson. No headshots.

SPEAKER_01 14:00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 14:01

Okay. This was a real fight. Rhonda knew she was in a real fight.

SPEAKER_01 14:04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 14:04

And look what happened.

SPEAKER_01 14:05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 14:06

So now we'll go Francis Nganu. Okay. Francis Nganu fought his little brother, who was white.

SPEAKER_00 14:11

Right? What waited by what is it?

SPEAKER_02 14:13

Previous slave owner, clearly. Uh, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 14:15

Why would you go into a fight with a guy like an actual, you know, 50-pound fight? That's a lot, man. 50-pound weight uh difference. Dude, it's insane. And you're gonna try to trade blows with that guy?

SPEAKER_02 14:24

Not to mention, he's one of the hardest hitters in the history of the world, right? Hits like a what'd they say, like a Ford Escort coming at 40 miles an hour or something? Yeah, yeah. So anyway, hit him once, and that was the end of us, right? Yeah. And then uh uh Nate. Nate. Junk uncle, yeah. I was gonna say Nate Diaz.

SPEAKER_01 14:40

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 14:41

Nate Diaz, but I wonder I didn't want to say his name first. I was gonna say uh, see, because I couldn't find his name.

SPEAKER_00 14:47

The other guy?

SPEAKER_02 14:48

Yeah, I don't know. Mike Perry.

SPEAKER_00 14:49

Oh, there you go.

SPEAKER_02 14:50

Mike Perry's a bare knuckle champion because Mike Perry's a fucking savage. Nate Diaz, I don't even think trained for that fight.

SPEAKER_00 14:56

Yeah, I didn't I didn't see it, but I saw it. It looked like it to me.

SPEAKER_02 14:59

Look like I gave give me half, half a million. Ah, throw hands. Yeah. Round two, Dr. Stoppage. Yeah. So much blood. But he has what you don't know, people, he has all this uh previous problems with uh cartilage or uh build buildup from previous fights. Right. Uh it's like a collie card. Scar tissue, scar tissue. It just opens as soon as you smoke, it opens right up.

SPEAKER_01 15:19

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 15:19

Yeah. So that's what it looked like. But yeah, I mean, and everybody else on the card, nobody knows who you are. But guess what the best part was, Mike?

SPEAKER_00 15:27

Well, go ahead and tell me, man. I have no idea.

SPEAKER_02 15:29

It was nobody in the office.

SPEAKER_00 15:30

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 15:30

Because why would you? It's Netflix. What do we do? We sit home on the sofa with a popcorn and our beers and watch it.

SPEAKER_00 15:37

Oh, yeah, it'll be interesting. Yeah. It'll be interesting to see what they say for the numbers, right?

SPEAKER_02 15:42

We'll be interesting to say. And I tell you right now, looking at our man, Brendan Schab, Brendan Schaub show, he will say it on Monday because he's got the inside scoop and all these numbers.

SPEAKER_03 15:50

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 15:50

He called out Jake Paul and all them on that bullshit, too. He goes, 400 million. He goes, hang on. Netflix only has 300 million uh subscribers. But you had 40 million fuck off. Yeah. Right? So, right, exactly. So, anyway, I think, as I said to you, uh Ozepic Carrano or uh Gina Carrano got a new head and a new body in the last how many months? Looks like a fashion model. She is dropped dead gorgeous, and then she fought that man hating uh uh Rousey that looks like a XUFC. Anyway, I never liked Rhonda Rousey because everybody thought she was good, and I knew she wasn't good until she fought somebody and then all of a sudden she got beat.

SPEAKER_01 16:30

But anyway, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 16:31

So that's over. Rhonda Rousey should uh shut her mouth, and Gina Carano should now go into fashion modeling.

SPEAKER_00 16:37

Well, I said, you know, like we talked about it. Uh oh Mike, you didn't want to waste your money. Leading up to the fight, Corano did a lot of a lot of press. Yep. Uh and you know, like she she did a remember she had all that all that shit that happened to her with the during the pandemic and with Disney and all that stuff, and now she's you know rebuilding her image again, right?

SPEAKER_02 16:57

So but like I said, you know, Netflix, hey, why wasn't there people watching? Two 40-year-old women that haven't fought in 17 and 13 years.

SPEAKER_00 17:08

Has it been 13 years since Rousey fought? Yeah, it's around there, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 17:10

Oh wow, something like that. Well, who cares? Doesn't even matter. Like the last two foughts she had, she didn't even know she fought.

SPEAKER_00 17:15

SPEAKER_01 17:53

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 17:54

Uh, they were they actually had they have an antiquities uh agents looking for this stuff. 14 million. Now, here's what they didn't say. They didn't say if that was dollars, because Mike, if it was 14 million rupees, that's 145,000 American dollars. Right, yeah, yeah. Yeah. So so yeah, if you do your math real quick. So if it's Indian rupees, they're like, what the fuck? We got screwed. What's this? It's like a fucking scarf and some uh Kuminin, or you know, some spices. No, 14 million.

SPEAKER_00 19:38

So well, I mean, you can't have Gobert goes out and doesn't score a single point. Yeah, how do you think for like what? Is it O for four or O for six? Brutal. He's not, I mean, he's not an offensive power. You know, but you guys should still be good for like you know, Gobert should be a double-double guy, right? It you know, 10 and 10. Every game should be. Julius Randle was like one for eight or one for nine. Right, right. I mean, Wemby's obviously a problem, but yeah, he is. Ant went at Wemby in the fourth. I watched it. You kept going at him, right? Like, I mean, didn't or not in the fourth, in the in the second quarter, I think it was. Didn't matter because there was a blow turned into a blowout.

SPEAKER_02 20:13

Well, here's the other thing, though, it goes right back to this whole fucking three-point thing. If somebody's on for three points, they're going to win the game. It's you can see it in every single year for the last 12 years.

SPEAKER_01 20:27

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 20:28

If somebody's shooting threes, they're winning. It's that easy. That's why he's oh, they're down 20, or they're up 10. Uh what? Like, you know, some of those percentages like 60% shooting threes, 58%, 56%.

SPEAKER_01 20:39

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 20:40

Well, that's a problem. What do you what are you gonna do? There's nothing you can do, right? So, you know, so for the Spurs for that now, here's the other thing. I don't know if people know this, but I do. I looked this up. Spurs and OKC are the first uh uh two teams to have 62 wins and be uh playing each other in years. Oh wow, yeah, years and years and years. But remember, Mike, Spurs four and one against OKC in the regular season. Yeah, you might be in trouble. Yeah, maybe not, though. We'll see.

SPEAKER_00 21:13

Well, Wemby's a problem, man. CCC's a problem. I mean, San Antonio's got a good young team as well, so it's uh be interesting to see. The only thing I will say to that is the team right that's playing the best right now in the playoffs, though, is New York. Yeah, they're playing. I called it a while ago, didn't we play crazy man right now?

SPEAKER_02 21:28

Call it a while ago. I said the Knicks are going to the final. They're gonna be no KC in the final. I bet the house, my cats, both my gold teeth. Yeah, yeah. One of my toenails. Yeah, so yeah, they're playing great, man.

SPEAKER_00 21:40

Yeah. So I don't think like I mean, I'm I'm not impressed with either Cleveland or Detroit right now in that series.

SPEAKER_02 21:46

Yeah, let's talk about that for a minute. You kidding me. Okay, so Cleveland and Detroit. Now, listen, James Harden only had about six turnovers the other day, so that was pretty good. And he got thirty points.

SPEAKER_00 21:55

Yeah, thirty points. He had a game, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 21:56

Yeah, he had a game. Now remember, James Harden also uh

SPEAKER_00 22:00

Cleveland one, not the next game. Yeah. Uh 17 seasons?

SPEAKER_02 22:05

James Harden? 17 seasons. Yeah, something like that.

SPEAKER_03 22:07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 22:07

People forget that. He's up there. So he's scoring 30. That's impressive too, right? You know. Uh, so when is there uh when's that next game? Tonight?

SPEAKER_00 22:16

Tonight, I think. Yeah, it's tonight.

SPEAKER_02 22:18

So we get to see that.

SPEAKER_00 22:18

Game seven.

SPEAKER_02 22:19

Actually, is it tonight or this afternoon? Might be start at 4 30, you know.

unknown 22:24

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 22:24

Yeah, it's a Sunday. They tend to put the East Coast games of the day on a Sunday.

SPEAKER_02 22:29

So, okay, so uh yeah, the Knicks are crazy. It doesn't make any sense. But so Pistons and the Cavs. I mean, what do you what do you think for that? What do you call them?

SPEAKER_00 22:37

I think Pistons are gonna win at home. They think they should, right? Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 22:40

You know, so everybody's like, okay, well, hang on. Uh Pistons are first, Cavs are fourth. Look, they took them to seven. What happened to the Lakers? Well, you missed the number one player in the league, first of all. Or or score in the league, right? 33 points a game. There's a problem right there. But once again, if they don't play defense, yeah. Yeah. So what are you gonna do, right?

SPEAKER_01 23:00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 23:01

I don't know. Uh Wolves. So did you see?

SPEAKER_00 23:05

So here's the here's the game that everybody's talking about with the Wolves. I know. And what you think about this, about Anthony Edwards, like there's still like eight minutes left in the fourth quarter, and he's going down, dapping up the Spurs player, saying congratulations.

SPEAKER_02 23:16

Like, yeah, why do you do that?

SPEAKER_00 23:17

It's horrible. Yeah, he's like, Well, I you know, I I you know, I knew that the game was over. Just like, yeah, but there's eight minutes left in the game, man. Like, you're as a leader of your team, yeah. You go sit, go dap them up at the end of the game. You don't do that in the middle of the game. That tells me that you've given up on your team, and that's a horrible look for a for a leader of a team. For anybody.

SPEAKER_02 23:34

I don't care who you I don't care if you're the seventh man on the fucking bench.

SPEAKER_00 23:37

That is true. It's a horrible look for anything. But as the leader of the team, people are looking at you're like, oh man, like hey, he's down there already. He's already, I mean, I get it. You gave it not coming back from 30-something down to win, but you know, Jesus, man. Anyway, uh, I thought that uh yeah, there's no, I don't know. I've never seen I've never seen that happen before where somebody does that with with uh like almost a whole quarter left, right?

SPEAKER_02 23:57

That's the young guys, I think. That's yeah, you know, good luck, man. Take him down first, bro. Yeah, we tried, you know, golf course. Our team sucks. Yeah, there's something stupid, right? Yeah, who knows? Who knows?

SPEAKER_00 24:09

I really like Ant, but he's he's definitely immature, right?

SPEAKER_02 24:13

Dude, as far as I'm concerned, the movie he played it himself in, that was a real him.

SPEAKER_00 24:17

Oh yeah, like just a fucking prick. Uh yeah, the Adam Sandler one there. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 24:21

I think he's just hiding it every day. I think he's a real fucking asshole, but he's just trying to keep it calm, is what I think, watching him play.

SPEAKER_00 24:28

Uh, he's like I said, if you go watch that uh that that series, the starting five series on Netflix and watch him. He's that's just that's just his personality. So I'm right. So they didn't see that. He's just he's just immature. That's right, okay.

SPEAKER_02 24:39

Yeah, hey, go play with uh Jason Calls.

SPEAKER_00 24:40

But he's not gonna be he's also unapologetic. He is who he is, and he's not gonna stop, right?

Grief Identity And Athlete Pressure

SPEAKER_02 24:45

Yeah, for sure. Uh who else we got there? Hang on now. Oh, this is sad news, Mike. Oh yeah, yeah, well, hang on. We're gonna talk about Jason Collins first because I got a lot about Brandon Carr. People don't know. Uh Jason Collins, if you didn't know, he was the first uh gay openly gay man. Let me rephrase that right.

SPEAKER_01 25:04

Thank you.

SPEAKER_02 25:05

First openly gay man. Oh I'm gay. Okay, NBA's like, good, but you're not playing here.

SPEAKER_00 25:11

It's funny because Barkley like Barkley, I think it was Barkley that said it. He goes, was it Barclay? Somebody had said it the other day, said don't kid yourself. Like, there's not there's all kinds of gay athletes.

SPEAKER_02 25:20

Oh, we know that. Everybody knows that. Yeah, yeah. It's just it's not ready. They're not ready. Yeah, right? You know, yeah, but yeah, for him, I mean, he had uh brain stage four brain cancer, Mike.

SPEAKER_00 25:29

Yeah, same thing that Gordon Gordon Downey had. Which is crazy, right?

SPEAKER_02 25:33

47 years old, Jason Collins, right?

SPEAKER_00 25:35

So I think you know, like you get that. It's that's an aggressive form of cancer. It's inevitable. I don't care what stage. So yeah, so young, man.

SPEAKER_02 25:41

Yeah, so yeah, but you know, too many people with these stage four turbo cancers, man.

SPEAKER_00 25:46

Yeah, he's another one of those ones. Say what you will about him. It's you know, he uh he uh you know made it to the NBA, so he's no he was no slouch.

SPEAKER_02 25:53

Oh, he's no slouch, and he got balls of steel to come out and said he's gay because everybody knows in pretty much every sport, except for figure skating, right? You can't come out as a man and go you're gay. All the women do it all over the place. Uh UFC fighters are married, they're holding hands, kissing their girlfriends. MMA boys aren't coming out, right? There's gay guys in MMA, we already know who, you know, but whatever. Yeah, yeah, Will Smith. But anyway, so uh the other thing with that, now Brandon Clark. He was still on the team, man.

SPEAKER_00 26:25

Oh yeah, right? Brandon Clark's a good player. He is just he just got had injuries the last couple years or something.

SPEAKER_02 26:33

Let me tell you what happened. This is pretty deep, actually. People don't know this, and I actually knew about this because I read something a while back and I went, oh, interesting. So, Brandon Clark died of an overdose. Okay, now suspected overdose, right? Right. Well, I'm gonna tell you why though. So people don't overdose on weed, Mike, right? They don't overdose on uh, you know, salvia root.

SPEAKER_01 26:54

Sure.

SPEAKER_02 26:55

Right? So what do you overdose on? Coke, heroin, meth, something heavy, right? So you're saying, well, what was he doing? What's Brandon Clark Clark doing doing that shit? Well, here's what you don't know about Brandon Clark, ladies and gentlemen. I'm gonna explain it to you. On April 1st of this year, he was pulled over in Arizona by the police for speeding. In his car, they found a drug called Kratom. Okay. Now, what is Kratom? A lot of people don't know what it is, it's been kind of moved around a little bit. Kratom was used for energy. It's a supplement. So if you take low, here's the thing, though. It's a crazy fucking supplement, Mike. If you take it in low dosages, it keeps you alert and gives you energy. But if you take it in high dosages, it's like an opiate and like morphine and sedative. Right. So, why am I telling you about that? Because he had like how many pounds in his car when they caught him? Right. But here's the thing it's legal in some states, and in some states it's not. He crossed a fucking county line in another state where it was illegal and they busted him. So here's my thing.

SPEAKER_00 27:59

Same with the same with weed, right? Weed's in some states and not in others, and you can't you can't go across the kind of the the state lines with it, right?

SPEAKER_02 28:06

So you think, okay, overdose. So you think right away, Kratom, okay. Well, clearly he was probably taking Kratom to give him that morphine fucking heroin out look, right?

SPEAKER_01 28:16

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 28:17

So he got busted. So, hey, well, let's go try real morphine or heroin, which he might have never did before in his life. And look what happened to these guys. You took too much and it ends his life. I don't think he tried to kill himself.

SPEAKER_01 28:28

No, right.

SPEAKER_02 28:29

Definitely not. He was just trying to have a party by himself or whatever, just wanted to go and did that and should have stuck to the crater.

SPEAKER_00 28:36

And you are, you know, like you're young, you're in your 20s. What was he, 29, right? 27. 27. 27, I think. So, you know, your whole life is tied to the NBA. Like, that's who you are at this stage in your life, right? Like, you don't, you're, you're that young. Like, you're you're you're a 30 years old, sir. You're out there, you're like you're out there to make money and play ball. If you get injured you know, year after year, that affects your livelihood. That affects and not just you're an NBA player, like you know, you you don't just that just doesn't happen by accident. That's you're you're uh you're driven, you're you know, you're dedicated. Yeah, so you lose all of that. Like, yeah, of course, like you must go into a bit of a a tailspin, right? On believable, yeah. Losing your identity. And unfortunately, yeah, easy out is go go chase some of those drugs, I guess, right?

SPEAKER_02 29:25

And you know, people don't chase it to fucking OD, they chase it to go away from reality, right? Yeah, you take something to do this and do that, and it's uh uh you know, morphine. Yeah, right, but yeah, horrible.

SPEAKER_00 29:35

But look at how many times have you seen these guys like they they get you know, they they mix drugs they're not supposed to mix. So they get prescription drugs and creatine they shouldn't be, but they get them, and then it's like, well, I'm gonna mix this, this, and this. And it's clearly you're not supposed to mix these kinds of drugs, but they get it for you know, whatever injury they have, not being able to sleep, the anxiety, you know, they get some of the things.

SPEAKER_02 29:53

Oh, yeah, and it says don't drink alcohol, don't operate heavy machinery or whatever else. Am I supposed to take a pee? Yeah, but yeah, it's the whole the whole thing. But see, so he's too young, man, these guys. Too young, yeah. Too young. He didn't have any kids, anything, right? Did he?

SPEAKER_00 30:06

Uh I don't know. I don't know. I don't know about his personal life. I mean, I know he was Canadian. Yeah, he's that well, I didn't mention that. He was still, you know, like that poor. I mean, then there's another time look at that Memphis team that two years ago when that Memphis team was like second in the West, and everybody said they're the next big thing, you know, the next big team coming along, and then all of a sudden what Clark gets injured, John Morant becomes you know, John Morant.

SPEAKER_02 30:28

Gangster John Morant, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 30:29

And uh, you know, they get rid of uh Jaron Jackson, like you know what I mean? It's uh yeah, poor Memphis, man. But that again, going back to that, look what happened the last couple years. It's uh it's it's it's crazy how his life probably got upturned, man. Like, yeah, who knows? Yeah, who knows, man? Who knows? Yeah, we don't we don't know. No, so I they said they're in investigating and they said there's no foul play, right? So it's no, he was home alone. Yeah, he's home alone. Yeah, I just think it's too bad.

Lakers LeBron Money And Team Building

SPEAKER_02 30:55

You know, they also don't know what's in this shit anymore. Like, I mean, look at that drug that's killing everybody, the fentanyl. It's in the coke and everything, right? Like, how many people have you heard the die from that? It's been going on for years. Yeah, but the prince died from fentanyl, you know? Yeah, it's crazy. Crazy, man, right? But so here's the thing, we gotta talk about it now. Look behind us, who we got there. We got LeBron. Well, I read some crazy shit about what uh Rob Polenka did. I don't know if you read this. So Rob Polenka went outside the Lakers organization and hired these guys and says, I need you to watch LeBron James and don't watch it as LeBron James, watch it as a player in the NBA. Oh, yeah. And see how many did it and what he's worth, right? Okay. So they did that. So they're like, okay, he's not worth$50 million. All right, great. Problem is, you're gonna have to pay him$50 million or he's gonna leave.

SPEAKER_01 31:47

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 31:47

Right? So he ain't gonna take less money. I'm telling you right now, he ain't.

SPEAKER_00 31:51

Unless it's for a real big cost. But again, the guy is averaging 21, he's top 20 in the league. 21, 8, and 7 again. Like top 20 in the league. Yeah. At 41 years old, by the way. But anyway, right, you're right. He he's not you're LeBron James is a businessman first. He always has been. Yes, sir. If he can go out and get$50 million, that's what he's gonna go out and do. Now, does he need it? No, he doesn't. I know, and people are like, well, he should take a pay cut. Why? Why? Would you take that? Would you take a pay cut at your job? A$20 million pay cut. Exactly. Would you take a$20 million at your job? Yeah. Just so you're yeah, no, you wouldn't. Right.

SPEAKER_02 32:29

Now, I would, if you're gonna bring in two players to give me a championship, I might cut that.

SPEAKER_00 32:34

Well, come to me and tell me what the numbers are. Right. Who the person is, right, right. How we make numbers, right? What Pat Riley and them did in Miami, how they m brought those three together. That's right. They said, here's how it works, right? Right. D. Wade and Bosch both took pay cuts to do it. Not significant. Not enough to bother. I say not significant. It's still millions of dollars they left on the table, right? Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 32:54

So for him, I mean, you know, so what are you gonna do? So Luca already said, You're keeping Reeves, or I'm gonna be mad. Yeah. So Luca's like, all right, so here's the problem. 33 points, Luca. Uh 20, what did what did uh Reeves say? He had best year ever. Yeah, 20. I don't know. Let's say 25. 25, right?

SPEAKER_01 33:15

Okay, yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 33:17

Uh that's over 55 points a game that they can score. Uh, how many points do they give up, Mike?

SPEAKER_00 33:24

They probably give up 60. Yeah, so here's the thing.

SPEAKER_02 33:26

They're the top scoring backcourt in the league, but they can't fucking defend anybody. So I'm going with the Tony Kornheiser thing again, Mike. I score three, you score two, we win. No!

SPEAKER_00 33:37

You pay uh you give if you give LeBron Austin and they're both free agents, right? If you give them their money, that's right. If you pay both of them, sure, it'll say, well, the Lakers won free agency because they kept Reeves and they kept LeBron.

SPEAKER_02 33:50

But you didn't get anybody else, nobody else. Right. Right? They need a center. They need a center.

SPEAKER_00 33:56

Well, then as you're seeing now with the Knicks, with the OKC, with San Antonio, you need you need a you need depth too, though. You can't just spin on the strength of just like two or three guys. You need depth, right? And then they can't look they can't go out and get the you get a bunch of ring chasing vets or a bunch of uh you know mid-level exception players that are you know looking for a contract a year, but maybe they're not gonna get it playing in LA, so they choose they they turn LA down, right? So it's I don't know, man. To me, it's uh if they pay all three of them, they're gonna be looking at the exact same thing they looked at this year. They'll have stretches where they're good when their offense is clicking, and then you know, can can can Reeves and I mean I don't know if Reeves and uh Luca have injury history, but you know once it happens once, man, it's like it becomes a question, right?

SPEAKER_02 34:48

The problem is like yeah, Luca can score, so could Larry Bird. Neither of them are athletic, right? Uh Austin Reeves, kind of athletic, can also score, create his own shot. But why can't these two fuckers get in front of the ball?

SPEAKER_00 35:01

No lateral movement, man.

SPEAKER_02 35:02

None, right? So, huh? That's a giant problem, man. Like, giant, you know, and if you watch all those games, their defense is horrible. They uh OKC didn't beat them on uh field goal percentage, it beat them on defense.

SPEAKER_00 35:15

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 35:15

So here's another thing. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 35:18

OKC just systematically destroyed like we said with the game, the the series before, too, when it was like Phoenix. Phoenix is having the best game of the of the of the series. But they lose by 20. Yeah, except it's just like yeah, right.

SPEAKER_02 35:29

But watching OKC is fun funny to watch too because you watch everybody hangs in to about the third, about five or six minutes in the third quarter and like time out! We're down 25. Jesus. Like, yeah, why don't you?

SPEAKER_00 35:41

And listen, they did they did deche like they should have done deshe, right? Like they they helped they they they doubled them and took them, said let the other guys beat us, and the other guys beat you.

SPEAKER_02 35:49

The other guys beat you. Those two giant white dudes in the middle.

SPEAKER_00 35:52

And you can't say, well, we'll live with that. It's like, no, you guys you can't live with that. You gotta figure out how to have it. That's right. That's not coaching, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 35:59

That's right. We'll let the other guys beat us. And they did.

SPEAKER_00 36:02

And they did. And handily, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 36:04

Handily. So what what are you gonna do there, right? Um Giannis is talking about moving to somewhere else, and they said they they cleared his lawsuit, all that bullshit about not being able to play, and he's okay. That the so they cleared them. So now he's ready to move.

SPEAKER_00 36:19

So he's ready to move on. Um, Milwaukee's open. Milwaukee's open to it.

SPEAKER_02 36:22

Yeah, yeah. They're saying the Knicks. He said he wants to go to the Knicks. He can go to the Knicks.

SPEAKER_00 36:27

Well, again, like you can't just go to the Knicks. Like the Knicks have to give something up.

SPEAKER_02 36:32

But I love how they guys, oh, he's probably going to the Knicks.

SPEAKER_00 36:34

Knicks, if the Knicks get to the finals and they lose, do they think about it? Sure, they might think about it.

SPEAKER_02 36:39

I got news for you. If the Knicks go to the finals, LeBron James is probably gonna go fuck a play for the Knicks.

SPEAKER_00 36:43

He's a free agent. I don't know. But they're not Knicks can't pay him$50 million. That's the thing, right?

SPEAKER_02 36:48

I don't know. But you go to the East, look how easy it is to get to the finals. Like, look at how easy it is. Once again, LeBron, four guys from the stands. All right, we're in the West.

SPEAKER_00 36:57

That's just it. LeBron everybody keeps saying, why doesn't LeBron go back and finish one more thing for Cleveland and finish his career there, right? Cleveland obviously, they're missing something. They're still in it. They may win tonight. They may, they may, I guess. But yeah.

SPEAKER_02 37:11

But they're also playing a stupid uh Pistons team that's doesn't make any sense. Yeah, can't figure out how they came first. Like, what?

SPEAKER_00 37:18

Yeah, so I want so I don't think LeBron's retiring. Definitely not.

SPEAKER_02 37:22

Uh there's no way he's gonna let himself go out and get swept like that and come not come back. That's what you're gonna remember him as. There's no fucking way he's gonna let that happen. There's no way. So what I think, I don't think, I don't think LA can keep him unless they make a real good deal for somebody, right? Yeah, no doubt. Because like I said, okay, they keep uh Luca because, or sorry, they keep Austin because Luca wants him. Okay, great. And now we pay LeBron, okay. Oh, we got the same team. What? Now what? Yeah, we're gonna JJ? Put JJ on the card.

SPEAKER_00 37:50

Well, that's just it. They can't. It's unfortunate, but it is the way it is. LeBron's not gonna take, he's not gonna take a significant pay cut. You're not getting LeBron for 30 million a year.

SPEAKER_02 37:58

No.

SPEAKER_00 37:59

Uh but who else can pay him? In LA, I I don't listen, the guy's great, the guy, you know, he's he's a 41-year-old phenom, right? Like he's what he's doing. I don't I wouldn't want to pay him 50 million any either, though, right?

SPEAKER_02 38:12

Somebody's gonna. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 38:13

Somebody's gonna pay him. Well, he's got a top, you know, step aside from the basketball thing, the drawing power that he has, he's gonna fill arenas, right? He's gonna put money in somebody's pockets.

SPEAKER_02 38:23

Yeah, sure is.

SPEAKER_00 38:24

Um but then at the same time, do they do they let Austin go somewhere, let him go be the man somewhere else, and then that frees up a bunch of money that they don't have to pay Austin, and now they can go out and try and get a couple other pieces, right?

SPEAKER_02 38:36

Actually, you know what? Uh Luca also said this. He goes, uh, I want Marcus Smart also. Because you gotta keep Marcus. I'm like, okay. Well, he's a defender.

SPEAKER_00 38:45

Well, I don't so again, I just 73 years old. What did Marcus Smart sign for? Did he sign a one-year deal? And is he up for like a new contract? I don't know right.

SPEAKER_02 38:52

But Luca did say he wants to he would like to keep him too.

SPEAKER_00 38:55

Yeah. Yeah, I saw Polenka came out and said it's gonna be a collaborative process with Luca, the free agency in the summer is right. So he wants with him. Pretty much. They're built- so Polanka's. Didn't he say Polenka's already said like so Polanka's making it clear, like this is Luca's team, it's not LeBron's team. We're not, we're not gonna handicap. We're the the the what do they call that? Uh you know, where you give some, you're giving somebody a contract out of loyalty. It's a loyalty contract as opposed to the. Because I did you see this story? I saw this story. It was um was it Dave McMeneman or whatever his name is broke that story, wrote the story about how LeBron felt slighted uh by Plank and the Lakers. Uh not yeah, like they didn't they didn't appreciate like what LeBron does. So there was this one game, and I remember seeing the video of it, and it was this one game where it was like a bunch of different milestones were broke. Lucas scored like however many points in his career. Uh you know, anyway, and then LeBron became the most winning winningest player in NBA history. Okay, yeah. And then JJ became JJ won his hundredth game. Oh, right. And he's oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I read that. And then so JJ got up and he gave his accolades to everybody in plank and goes, Oh, no, no, one more, one more. They gave a video for JJ, they gave him the game ball, they did all this. So his hundredth wins. And again, LeBron's not shitting on JJ in this situation, but at the same time, they're like, hey man, like I just became the winningest player in NBA history, and you're giving, you know, you're giving the accolades the ball to a guy that just won his hundredth game as a coach. Great, good on him. A hundred games is impressive. So just first two years in the sea, first two years in the league as a coach, 250. Pretty impressive, right? Yeah, pretty impressive. But still, lots of coaches have done it. But you know, nobody, you know, nobody is again, same kind of thing. Is somebody ever gonna pass that record? The most winningest player in NBA history, right? No, right? So anyway, so I get I get it. I think, you know, I don't think the intent of that story is to say LeBron's unhappy with the Lakers.

SPEAKER_02 40:58

I think he's just saying that it's just another example of them just not appreciating what I I found it interesting because you know, we've been following LeBron since he was 16, a McDonald's superstar. Yeah, the chosen one. But uh I found it interesting when he the way he said this. He goes, you know, my whole career I used to be in the go-to, and you know, that I had to be the third thing, and he goes, I had to embrace that, and he goes, I didn't know if I could do that, and I didn't know if I want to do that. And I'm like, oh wait a minute. Maybe he didn't want to be the third thing, and maybe he's gonna go, you know what? If you're bringing me back, I'm not coming back to be the third string or the third, the third go-to. Because he the way he said it, I'm like, well, either he said it because he's shitty, or he said it because, hey, look what I can do if I want to. I don't know which way it went because I don't really know.

SPEAKER_00 41:50

I think it's I think it's yeah, I think he's I think he's saying it because he's like, hey, listen, no, I could still be right. But look what I did to help. But look what I did, because he's in fairness, like he's if go back. It's never he's there's never been an interview where he hasn't said, Well, I'll do what the team needs me to do to win. Right? You said there's never been an interview where you said go back and look at that. Like he always says that. I'll I do what the what the team does.

SPEAKER_02 42:14

Oh, yeah, he always thought you said he never said us a win. No, no, no.

SPEAKER_00 42:16

He's never, he's actually there's never been an interview where he hasn't said that. Right, right. All about the team, even though it's a good thing. It's all about the team. I will do whatever it takes for the team to win. If that means I gotta go out and be the leading scorer, I'll do that. Well, if that means I need to go out and like get, you know, 10 assists, 12 assists, I'll I'll I'll give my best to get that, right?

SPEAKER_02 42:31

Like well, I know LeBron's watching this. So LeBron, I will say this. After you finish drinking wine with fucking JJ, how about you coach the team? Yeah. How about that? Because I don't know what JJ's doing.

SPEAKER_00 42:42

I think JJ even flat out said, like, LeBron, I'll call the play sometimes. LeBron will be like, no. Calls his own play, right? Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 42:49

That's pretty funny though, right? How we're gonna do this. LeBron's like, no, we're not. What what LeBron's doing is okay, good.

SPEAKER_00 42:54

Anyway, come here, boys. All right, listen. So it's gotta be tough playing playing with a guy like LeBron. Uh who said it?

SPEAKER_02 43:01

Somebody said It's gotta be brutally hard playing.

SPEAKER_00 43:05

That LeBron, if LeBron had played in a system, like a San Antonio system or a Golden State system, the triangle, the the system Jordan played in. Or he would have won more championships. But because he's never played in a system, it's always been like the game anything goes. The team offense has to revolve around LeBron's game, as opposed to LeBron adapting to a system. Uh, you know, LeBron is an incredible individual talent, and he can win games based on that alone, right? But it's uh but he goes up the you know, he lost against his first, a system. He lost against Golden State, a system. Like you know what I mean? He can't seem to beat the systems, right?

SPEAKER_02 43:43

Like good point. Yeah, good point. Okay, see he doesn't really have a system, they just have a deep, deep team that plays every position properly.

SPEAKER_00 43:51

Yeah, well, I mean that but you know, listen, LeBron, this is I can he looked old this year. Like oh yeah, he looked hard. And he doesn't, you know, when I say he looked old, I mean he does not. Look like young LeBron. I'm not saying he looks like he can't get up and down the court. He doesn't look like uh you know, like Kareem at the end. Like Kareem can barely run up and down the court, right? So Kareem looked old at the end. Robert Parrish looked old at the end. Like Vince Carter even looked old at the end, right? LeBron still doesn't look old right now, but he looked old for LeBron, is what I mean, right?

SPEAKER_02 44:19

Yeah, I mean I don't know where he's gonna go. I just hard to see him, not as a Laker, but I mean, does he want to stay in LA with his family?

SPEAKER_00 44:27

Well, I think he that's why I guess he's got a lot of business ventures out there. I'm sure he's gonna be able to do it.

SPEAKER_02 44:30

Okay, so now he goes to the Warriors. That's a possibility. Like I said before, him and Giannis.

SPEAKER_00 44:35

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 44:35

Uh-oh. Oh, by the way, Steve Kirk said, fuck it, I'm coming back for two years.

SPEAKER_00 44:39

Well, I saw that. Steve Kirk said.

SPEAKER_02 44:40

How much money? 17 mil? I'm in. My back doesn't feel so bad. Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 44:45

Yeah. Whatever. Well, I mean, I imagine they had to they probably had to look at it and go, what, where's the direction of the team going, right?

SPEAKER_02 44:52

Well, not only that, hang on. Remember what Kirs said? Oh, we should get rid of the threes. So how Steph's gonna go, hey motherfucker, remember three weeks ago when you uh so yeah, by the way, no more threes from staff layups. Yeah, yeah. What? Yeah, yeah.

unknown 45:05
