Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome back to Unplugged.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
We finally got my guy in the building making his
first appearance on this new, revamped Unplugged stack.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
What's up, bro?
Speaker 3 (00:11):
Cool on what s up? Shoot?
Speaker 1 (00:13):
Ship? How was your weekend?
Speaker 3 (00:15):
It was cool, man.
Speaker 4 (00:15):
I ain't doing too much nothing, man, just getting ready
for Turkey Day.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Yeah yeah, yeah, I mean you you were the talk
of the internet for a few days, bro. He was
buzzing when we put your when we put your own
music out.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (00:31):
Man, I didn't expect that either, and I didn't even
know y'all was posting that ship.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
But it turned out being good as usual.
Speaker 5 (00:39):
A lot of people that didn't know I rapped chimed
in a lot of people that knew I rap chimed in,
and I heard my music saying I need to do
more music.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
I got to hit from Bun b and Killer Collie on.
So you know, guys that.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
Got a lot of love.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
You got a lot of love on the GRAMD too.
The Graham was apavy with it.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Yeah, my damn was going crazy. So it inspired me
to do some more music. Man.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Uh oh, you about to get back in the lap.
Speaker 5 (01:01):
Yeah, I'm gonna do another projects. Bout ten songs all
the Smoke, Volume one, Volume one, the original. Yeah, like
like my boy Dylan said, a lot of people I
missed the social media area era when I was doing
my music, and I was doing a lot of stuff,
more than any rapper of a dumb besides Shack probably,
but I probably did more.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Got a lot of music. Yeah, so just to be
maybe maybe you can cook something up before All Star
we go back.
Speaker 5 (01:25):
To the bay. Yeah, it takes no time. But what
I got four month, three months? Yes, it's easy.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Yeah, yeah, okay, I like it. I like it.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Well, Kendrick just dropped on Friday and obviously had everybody
ears to it. Gn X came out What was your thought?
Twenty twenty four. It's been heavy for Kendrick and I
was actually late. I'm finally just getting to it last
night and this morning. But this ship is going for me.
(01:55):
What'd you think of it?
Speaker 3 (01:56):
He jamming?
Speaker 5 (01:57):
That's what kids you do. I mean, I would never
go against songs like that. You know what I'm saying,
that's that's a show shot. You know, you're just behaving
that ship jamming and his content. You know the stuff
he was saying in it, you know, it's real deep,
even with the car. You know, the car came out
the year the year he was born. It was only
the further original was black on the cover. So like,
(02:19):
it's a lot of stuff that he's saying that's deep.
And I didn't even take what he said about Wayne
and Snoop as a disc you know. Yeah, I didn't
take it that way. I don't think Wayne did too,
but I think he still had to respond, But you know,
I don't. I don't think that should end up as
a as a beef, you know, with Kendrick and Wayne.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
I kind of feel like the song was dope. He
responded to how Wayne?
Speaker 5 (02:37):
You know, he kind of felt like he wanted Wayne
to congratulate him too, because he looked up to Wayne.
He's the jam Wayne. You know what I'm saying. But
I feel how Wayne felt too. We coming home. This
is my home. I'm the best rapper ever come from,
you know. So I look at it both sides. Man,
I just hope it don't end up in nothing negative.
But if Wayne did come up with a song and responded,
I wouldn't be mad.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Yeah, I mean, I didn't look at it as a
disc by any means. And I actually heard someone tell
a story about how kind of that came about. They
said that, I want to say it was Jay Rock
had Wayne in the studio and they said something like
Wayne had hit like not twelve singles off for twelve
different or you know, for a handful of different people
in one night. And it made Kendrick kind of evaluate, like, Yo,
(03:17):
this is how we got to work, you know, this
is how hard we got to work. So when he
said my hard work let Wayne down, I think he
was paying homage to Wayne initially because Wayne gave him
a different grime is from what I heard. So I
don't really know how true the story is, but it
seemed like a.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Pretty logical reason. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
I mean, like I said, I don't think it needs
a tone there. And as we've talked about on this
show before, man, I completely understand where this could have
been a great opportunity for Wayne to write off in
the sunset, you know, to kind of the stamp on
the legendary career. But it didn't happen to beginning at
the same time, I mean, who's I can't recall an
artist who's had a bigger year in a while, you
(03:58):
know what I mean? A lot of people have put
out good music. But who have really kind of controlled
twenty twenty four obviously the last half of twenty twenty four.
And what I liked about the album too and again,
and I'm still studying it. But the Na's influence, the
Pock influence, you know, the lady he got from the
Dodger game, and he put on maybe six unless you're
(04:19):
kind of a real West Coast head or LA artist.
He put on six young if I'm not mistaken, LA
guys that you know, obviously this is going to be
their highest stream ever. So he did a lot of things,
the Luther sample and so yeah, I'm really appreciating this
body of work as I continue to study it. But
I mean, shit, Kiddings had a hell of a twenty
(04:39):
I actually talked to top his I don't know if
it is his manager or just his partner anymore, and
he just, you know, to put out a statement about,
you know, stay out the way right now, this is
the dangerous man. And me and him were hitting. He
told me Kendricks and Mamba mentality right now. I started laughing,
like he's definitely, he's definitely on one right now.
Speaker 5 (04:59):
Got you gotta respect. I mean, Wayne been having this
run for a long time, and they to it. They
too it a go. So people definitely want to see
them butt heads because they know how Wayne get down,
they know how kids would get down. But at the
same time, I see the respect that they have for
each other in both of their posts.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
I hope that somehow, someway we get Wayne at the
super Bowl. Somehow, someway. I mean, obviously there has to
have some conversations have to be had, but I think
the world would love that. To backtrack a little bit, Jack,
how did how did the rap how did the rap
bug bite you?
Speaker 1 (05:31):
How did you get into rapping?
Speaker 2 (05:32):
And who are some of your you know, your inspirations
and shit, Like you said, you're rejuvenated to get back
in the studio right now.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
But where did it all start for you?
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (05:43):
Being from Texas, we we didn't listen.
Speaker 5 (05:46):
We didn't hear too much outside music outside of Texas
because Texas is so big and being in South Texas,
all we heard was really Texas music and Louisiana music
because we forty five minutes from Louisiana. So DJ Screw
really was the first person to open my ears in
a lot of people ears to music from the West
Coast and East Coast, but he if you know anything
(06:07):
about DJ Screw, he slowed the music down, so a
lot of we heard music from everywhere. So DJ Screw
he had such a big influence that he had. He
started bringing local rappers in and they start freestyling to
beach from everywhere from it was West Coast beaching and
so we all start riding listen to that, So we
all start freestyling from listening to DJ DJ Screw. We
(06:29):
tried to pick up that same cadence, that same freestyle
from growing up listening to that, and that started me rapping.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
That started me going to my.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
Playing about fourteen fifteen. By fourteen fifteen, going to Little
with my homeboy Wayne. My Wayne had my homeboy Wye
had a group called Gangs, the Players, and they they
had they had their own house right next door to
their mama house where they could do whatever they want,
and they had a studio in there. And and his
(06:55):
older brother name was DJ Dan. He used to DJ
at the clubs and all that. So they have so
we used to go over there and free island rapping them.
So that's why I actually started rapping. But I didn't
start putting out my my own music attil I got
to the league.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
A lot of people.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
It was new to a lot of people, you know,
as as we discussed it to be in the show
that you know, you was really on a real mixtape tour.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
You have a ton of.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Music, unplayed music you you You've done songs with legends.
Did you face any backlash from the league or from
David Stern while you were on these tours of putting
out these albums, because I remember Ai put out an
album that had too much cussing and they were on
his head.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Did you ever have any pushback from the league?
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Yeah? I did. I mean people said certain things.
Speaker 5 (07:38):
Now you know, I got questions from UH, from UH
staff members in the office about what I was doing,
stuff like that, but I really didn't get a personal
call until shit, my last year in the league, I
was doing the mixtape and I was I actually, you know,
kind of had a conversation with David starting about it
because one of the songs I was doing was about
(08:00):
was about down, Yeah, down, Donald Sterling, It's not going
to call America the beautiful with scarface and in the
video is like four minutes long, so you know, we
went crazy on it. But and I wanted to tell
him a you know, have to let him know up
that I was dropping. He was like, man, I never
told you anything about your music. Just be ready to
flight to come from it. And I never got any
flag from it, you know the way. I never played
an NBA again.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
But that was it. That's what you said about. Yeah,
that was it.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Who are some of the bigger names that you've you've
rapped with and and maybe released or haven't even released.
I remember you were talking right before we got online.
You talked about you did done some ship with Shack.
But who are some of the bigger names you've you've
got on with.

Speaker 6 (11:54):
And I know I'm a I am one who's speaking
from you know, because Dre is my god. Yeah, but
I don't think that there's anybody else in hip hop
music that's ever been as good as he is doing
what he does and watching him thirty thirty five, almost
forty years, it's so easy for that dude. It seemed
(12:16):
like he do the same little shit every time and
it come out the same dope. Pass West fact, I
just left LA. I had to go out there and
get the release sign by my big brother.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
For this documentary.
Speaker 6 (12:33):
Took me a couple of days, but.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
I got it.
Speaker 6 (12:37):
And we was able to He was twisting up some
stuff for Snoopy's record that comes out next month. I
think it's I think it's on the thirteen.
Speaker 1 (12:44):

Rais in his bag right now? Is he?
Speaker 1 (12:47):
YEA love du Snoop.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
Let us hear some of that shit, and I can't
wait to hit the streets.
Speaker 6 (12:51):
Trais in his Bag, Snoop sound great. Those guys are happy,
they're in a good space. They showed me a ten
minute piece of content with the songs in it, in
and out of the video, and it was really interesting.
I don't want to you know, Dre get it. You
feel the kind of way if you talk about it.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
It was, Yeah, I don't want to get.
Speaker 6 (13:14):
Twenty five is gonna be fu fuck that time in
West Coast music. Twenty five is gonna be a good year.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Yeah yeah, yeah, bring it back. We go hear some
doc in twenty five? Well, Jack, I mean this one
was dope. Obviously the legend that the DC is and
obviously I knew about him, but to get more, to
get that extra layers and I'm such a West Coast
hip hop head man, that was that was special, you know.
Obviously the connection with Dre and Snoop and the new
(13:43):
project they got coming out But what were some of
your favorite parts and takeaways from the interview with DC?
Speaker 5 (13:50):
Well, DC legend, you know me being from Texas, He's
a legend from Texas. He told you how he went
to Cali and when he came back to Dallas, everybody
was dressing like they was from La because of him,
you know, he had. He had a big influence over
Texas and bringing the West Coast music to Texas.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
But for me, I think I.
Speaker 5 (14:05):
Related the most to him, Matt is when he was saying,
like the gratification of everything for him being solid and
being real with everybody that's coming back to him in
the years where he really can enjoy it.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
I kind of feel that way too, you know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (14:17):
With a lot of stuff that went on in my life,
I'm finally getting to the point where I'm making up
for a lot of my mistakes, getting a lot of
stuff that I got to get off my back, you know,
to maybe enjoy enjoy today.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
And I seen that in him too. He a solid dude.
He's been solid with so many people.
Speaker 5 (14:30):
Never said nothing, never to me, nobody, but he has
such a big influence and that sound and that music,
So for him to be able to be solid today
and say, you know how good it feels for him
to get all this just do now you know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
I think that's what I got most from the interview.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Mm hmm, definitely dope.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
How you know that thirty five year term he signed
and now all that music is coming back to him,
so beautiful thing.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Man, make sure you guys checked that interview out. It was.
It was a good one.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Before we get to get you out of here, Jack
Women's college basketball's back rolling, my bruin. Late ees took
down South Carolina. We were watching the game, kept thinking like, okay,
South Carolina. You know they're going to make a run.
You know they're gonna make a run. Man, the shout
out to UCLA. Man, they didn't allow that run to happen.
You know, the Bruins as a team played together. Shout
out coach Corey. That's my girl. They made it jump
(15:16):
from number five to number one after that dominating victory
over South Carolina and in South Carolina's forty three game
win streak, first time UCLA has ever beat a number
one women's basketball.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
We got a chance to do that.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
You know, we beat Kansas my senior year Drew Good
and then Nick Collinson and them boys.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
But Jack, what did you think about that game?
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Obviously I know your relationship with coach Day and the
love and admiration they are for her, and I think
that's your favorite women's college team, So what was your
thoughts on the game?
Speaker 3 (15:45):
Played a great game.
Speaker 5 (15:46):
They definitely didn't let South Carolina make that running and
get that lead back to find a way to win
that game. But what I will say is UCLA is
the bigger team. This is the small one of the
smallest teams that Don Staley didn't had, so they gonna
have to figure out how to use they and that
led us to be, you know, a top tier team
this year. USLA was the better team from top to bottom.
The guard play, all that was great. But for the
(16:07):
most part, you know, South Carolina is my team with
Don Stowele is somebody who I'm a big fan of.
But I think for the most part, this is one
of the smallest teams she had, so they just got
to figure out their identity.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
You got to figure it out small ball. But shout
out to UCLA coach Corey Lauryn bettch keep all the
whole crew man number one in the country, salute and
then jack right up the way. The SC women squared
off against Notre Dame, and Notre Dame came into sc
and handled their business. I mean that back court of
Notre Dame could be the top back court in the country.
(16:40):
But they really did a number. We're able to get
a thirteen point victory over USC. What was your thoughts
on that game and some of the problems they gave.
Speaker 5 (16:47):
Juju, Yeah, somebody gonna have to step up on us USC.
Ju is gonna get a lot of attention like that team,
seeing team seeing that they can beat them like that
in the tournament last year when they kind of bottle
up and make somebody else beat them, and they still
have figured that out. I think for Notre Dame, Hidagos
just picking up what she left off last year. She
had a let down in the tournament, but she she
(17:08):
she worked on a game this summer and everybody knew
their Blackhall was gonna be one of the top ones,
but they hadgo is definitely somebody that you're gonna have
to look out for this year. I think Juju is
still a number one pick, but in order for them
to have a great season, They're gonna have to find
some find her some more help when teams are basically
running the box and one.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
On the Juju got a whole another year before she
can even go to the league, So she's got some
to me her size though five to six that's little.
An average twenty five and five steals per game, that's
that's insane.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
Man.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
So I've been shut out to these women.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
And you know, this weekend obviously, with Caitlyn and Angel gone,
now you know who's gonna hold it down. I think
there was such a jump. I think there was a
lot of momentum these past few years in women's basketball.
Now it's carried over to the W but uh, you
know who are some of the women jack you think
can help keep the game at the level it's it's
reached from the people before them.
Speaker 5 (18:00):
Well, it's gonna have to be Juju and like hadago,
page Buckets, Uh uh, women like that that that that
have a name that's been balling for the last couple
of years. I think I think those three names are
some of the ones that you can look out for
to have great years. And uh, people be talking about
a lot, especially page Buckets.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
But I think what helped the momentum in.
Speaker 5 (18:21):
Oh my bad, can't my bad, I'm mean to cut off.
Can't forget about Flage, can't forget about l s U.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Yeah, no, definitely not.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
But I think what helped bolster not only those individual players,
but the fact they got a chance to play against
each other and there were storylines, you know, every time,
and then there were storylines leading into the league. So
definitely looking forward to this year in college, it's crazy
that you know, arguably, I mean, there's there's there's there's
some big name talent talented on the guys side, but
(18:49):
women's college basketball, man is really kind of jumped.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
I wouldn't say jump men's, but.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
It's pretty even right now, I think as far as
just people really tuning into the big game. So we'll
see how the rest of the season goes. Anythings, giving
plans with you and the family. I saw you threw
down on some gumbo the other day. You cooking, you
cooking for the for the holiday.
Speaker 5 (19:08):
Yeah, I'm just making a corner bead dressing. Okay, I'm
getting I'm getting a turkey from Less Barbicaus. Shout out
Less Barbecue out there, and you tell I'm getting my turkey,
my smoke turkey from him, and we have friends coming up, soay,
everybody bringing the dish.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
My wife making a couple of sides. But I'm just
doing the dressing.
Speaker 5 (19:22):
And you know, nine out of ten times, whoever make
the dressing on Thanksgiving is the coldest.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
Well that's what me and I's are are tasked with
this year too. So we're actually on the dressing stuff
and whatever people call it that.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
Yeah, I mean I have no problem.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
Meling is something, Bro, I can.
Speaker 5 (19:39):
I can make it today and get it off to
you, you know if you need it, bro, because I'm.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Live and even mad. I mean, we're gonna see I
see some cookers Jack. Before we get out of here.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
What are you thankful for here in this year twenty
twenty four, as we turn the page on a special
year for our company.
Speaker 5 (19:57):
Well, i'll give you. I'll give you a few things.
I'll give you three things. One, I'm thankful for health
and life. Uh to still be here too. I'm thankful
for all you guys at the company that's around me,
that's making me better daily.
Speaker 4 (20:14):
Uh, that's dealing with my bullshit. But you know, see
the see.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
That that's that's see the good in me, and uh
and that genuinely loved me, like you don't get that
much these days. But the third, I'm just I'm most
thankful for being able to have opportunity to right my wrongs.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
I think that's where I'm met. That's where I'm met
in life.
Speaker 5 (20:32):
I met a lot of mistakes in life that I'm
still trying to recover and fix. But I'm just thankful
for the opportunity to fix because I can see, I
can see what's what, what's what's through the clouds when
I'm out of all this. So I'm thankful. I'm thankful
for that opportunity.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
That's dope. Man, You're definitely on the right path. Should
we on the right path? You know, similar paths our
whole lives. So to be here where we're at in
twenty twenty four, man, and think about what we've accomplished
and what's to come. And I'm really excited at about
what's to come in twenty five. So man, give him
to give the family my best, Tell him I love him. Yeah,
(21:07):
we'll catch up after the holidays, yes sir, all right, bro.
Later Now I want to welcome back the one and
only neighborhood hater who boycotted the show last week because
we didn't take him to Dallas scenes and his feelings.
This nigga was salt take him to Dallas, so he
(21:27):
was busy last Monday. I wanted to get you on
Last Money because your boys have won five straight. I
want you to come on here and talk your shit.
But I feel like, because you're new to this camera game,
you haven't really been talking the shit We're accustomed to
you talking like. I feel like you'll talk here privately,
but you don't want to say it out loud because
you don't want to run across like an Austin reason.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
He slapped the shit at it.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
No, he had to box with me though, bro, so
just know that we'll have to fight about it.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
He's bigger than you, know that right?
Speaker 3 (21:50):
Not in this world, He's not.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
His world rank is lower than yours.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Now the Lakers have dropped too straight Fawns Wagner hit
a game winner who missed the free someone miss free
throws though right ad missed too.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
Big, missed one. We missed a couple two.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
In Denver.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Uh Nasty J just said, you guys didn't come really
come out there and compete. So I think, what was
it five straight before you guys lost two straight?
Speaker 3 (22:17):
Six straight?
Speaker 2 (22:18):
It was six straight, sir, and then you know the
last two of falling. What do you kind of see
out there on the court right now?
Speaker 3 (22:23):
Well, it all went to ship fast, you know what
I mean. Like we was on top of the world.
You know, I was posting every day at the Lakers
getting hype. Yeah, and then all of a sudden we
missing free throws and take an al. We got Franz
what's his name, Franner Wagner looking like Michael Jordan against us, Like,
you know, people come in our house and.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
He was aggressive. Are you kids? Guy?
Speaker 3 (22:46):
Are you kidding?
Speaker 1 (22:46):
He's a big kid though he was about six nine sixteen.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
Yes, indeed. But I will say this, I don't think
it's over for us. Surely we got a couple moves
to make like a sap though, Like I'm like, we
don't need to wait any longer to be okay.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
So who are some people you you feel like are
on the bump right now? For you guys? Sixteen games
into the season, first d Low Delo's gotta go.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
We could wave and we don't even need anything back
for him.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
You just wanted.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
To get in the back room. Just get out of
my locker room.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
BROI d like that.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
I mean, well, how long do we have to wait next?
I'm gonna be honest. I'm not like sold on Austin Reeves.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
He's been untouchable to your front office.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
Absolutely. And where did that word come from? Who put
untouchable on him? I don't know. Yeah, No, he's not untouchable,
especially not untouchable when we need for our team to
get better.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
He's averaging seventeen and five though.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
Yes, but has he had any big games for us
this year? I know Connectors had plenty of big games.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
For I like that.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
You guys got two. You got two nice white boys rarely,
they said. It might have been the first time in
NBA history with two white boys through a white boy
through a lob to another white boy.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
It was tough. But they can both.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Are You would get rid of connect too.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
If we're going to make our team better?
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Yes, so you would. You would throw him in there?
So what about a Hachie Mora or Gabe Vincent. You
guys have a lot. I mean, I think the strength really,
honestly of this roster and all jokes aside is you
guys have some tradable.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
Pieces, absolutely, but they're saying that we don't have anything
of value right now, which I don't agree with.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
I mean, I think probably Austin Reeves is probably your
guys are outside of your stars, your your your biggest
bargaining chip. I think a lot of teams would jump
at Connet. I don't know if the Lakers will let
him go. I think there's his ceiling is unknown right now,
but his size and the way he could shoot that bitch.
I know Bron loved him, so he ain't going no where.
Why Bron is here?
Speaker 1 (24:43):
Who else? The dudes that are hurt Cam reddish his back?
He can go too, he can go. Yes, trade just wave.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
We can trade Cam because I'm sure somebody could use them.
But let's be honest, Vanderbilt, Christer Wood and all these
guys who haven't even showed up one time for us
this year, don't These guys can be on the chopping
block too. But I'm curious, what do you think we
should do.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
I definitely think you and Golden State are two teams
I look at that have great pieces for trades and
if really wanted. Although and I say, there's all due
respect because Golden State is one in the West. Right now,
I still feel like they're a piece away from trying
to get Steph that fifth. There's a lot of talk
right now, and Steph even said, I'm only I'm only
in this ship now for rings. You know, I'm tired,
(25:29):
you know, me and my body weary. But I feel
like the same thing with Bron, you know what I mean?
And what does it do to my question? Does it
do anything to Bron's legacy? If Steph grabs one more?
Why Bron is still here? You know, because I think
they measure greatness on how many people got rings on
your watch, you know what I mean. So if Steph
was able to get five and Bron was finished before,
(25:51):
which is still great?
Speaker 3 (25:52):
With that?
Speaker 1 (25:52):
With that damnage Bron's legacy at all?
Speaker 3 (25:54):
In your opinion, absolutely, because Bron has had every opportunity
to get a couple of rings. Yep, you know what
I mean. But he decided he wanted his son a
part of our team.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
But you guys weren't going to get nobody for the
fifty fifth pick. Though, Bro, the fifty fifth pick never
even makes the fucking roster.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
But guess what, we'll never know because we have Lebron
jor Okay, well.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
We'll never know.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
You're stupid, So uh, let's see what else we got,
he said, we'll never know, all right, before we transition
to our next topic. Do you trust the guy making
the calls, not on the team but behind the management,
Rob Polinka? Do you trust his vision?
Speaker 3 (26:35):
Well? I was just asking Nate, like, does he have
any General Managers of the Year awards? And I don't
think he does. And I think this will be a
perfect opportunity for him to step up. Like you know,
he's been here so long, you have the Laker fans
waiting for him to do something big. Imagine Lebron going
out at forty years old with a chip like.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
Crazy with that put him in the I think I
think you got to put him number one. If if
Brown gets one more, especially at this point in his career,
you know what I mean. And you know I'm Cob
and MJ and I've always loved and respect Broun, But
I mean for him to get one more I think
would cement him at You know, obviously we could break
this down a real conversation if it happens, but it'd
be hard not to put him number one.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
Come on, and that's and I bring Polenka up to
your job, man, like, be great.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
I mean you're here for an opportunity.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
I mean you stuck us with Brian and a d.
You literally sold our souls for both of those players
to be here for their career.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
Who's waiting in the win too? Low Ki And this
is just my opinion. Bob Myers.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
Oh that's my guy too. We love Bob.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
I'm just saying, Bob is out here.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Bob is back out here and enjoying the La sun,
fucking around on ESPN a little bit, working on this tan,
still getting a lot of money, like Bob.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
Myers is in the like Polinka got some pictures on
the Lakers or something. Yeah, some kind of ship. Yeah,
because somehow he's still here.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
Might be bloody and blood out to cut from.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
Cob, clearly that's what's happening.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
You guys only ranked fourth offensively, so you guys are
definitely putting the ball in the basket. But twenty six defensively,
we know you at least got to be in the
top half, if not top ten, to really be a
contender in this league. But Obviously Bron is back doing
bron shit twenty five, nine and eight, eighty is at
thirty and eleven, Austin Reeves at seventeen and five, and
(28:19):
the Young Boy connect twelve points on forty five percent
from the three point line. Obviously some defensive improvements. Are
there any realistic trades?
Speaker 3 (28:29):
You know?
Speaker 2 (28:30):
I know we key keat and ha haad, But are
there anybody out there you really feel that can help
this team?
Speaker 3 (28:36):
I mean, I would think the first on my list
would be the valatoonists. Yeah, I think he.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Would in Houston? No, no, no, with Washington. Okay, you know
Steven Adams is in Houston, right, Yeah? Those are two
bigs right there.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
So we know we need a big We definitely need
another score, and then we need a perimeter defender.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
What would a Jimmy? But because I would love that,
think he checks two of those boxes.
Speaker 3 (29:02):
Absolutely, I would love that. If Jimmy came here, we'd
have to give up a lot to get him, I'm guessing,
but it still would put us in a position to
help Lebron and ab out.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
So you would give up? Would you give up Reeves, Connect,
Hocheie Moore and the draft.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
Pick for and gay Vincent. You can add him. You
can throw him to the freebie in there. You guys
can just take that, you know what I mean, take that.
But yes, I would make.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
It back to Miami. That's where he was doing his
thing at.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
I would take that trade in a minute. I mean,
I think Jimmy could come in and get between Lebron
and a D. Pauls.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
He's at thirty five too, so he's he's you know
what I mean, he knows that the windows closing him
as well.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
Yes, and not just Washington played the last couple of games.
He's like to like Jimmy's hooping right now. And obviously
you're hearing about this. Robert Williams the third guy from
where he.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
Could stay healthy, if he could stay he was a
big part of this. This the surgeons now that we
see of Boston kind of before Pazingas got there. But
he tried to play throw those knee injuries and I
didn't like it. And then he goes to Portland where
they've had a history of trying to make guys play
through knee injuries with their previous regime. We also would
have to Brandon Royce. So I think Robert Williams is tough,
but he just hasn't been healthy and obviously jumping is
(30:05):
a huge part of his game, so we will have
to see. I just want to say, before you get
out of your full of shit, for that ninety mile
an hour sh it wasn't not We definitely you got
your money, though.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
How do you know what makes you the god of
velocity of us?
Speaker 2 (30:21):
I just played baseball for a long time to play softball.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
You haven't played baseball in like thirty five years.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
I played.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
I'm younger than you, so I played baseball through high school.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
You have never seen ninety hour before I have.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
Where have you seen it?
Speaker 3 (30:33):
Anyway, let's keep it going.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
Where have you seen nine hours?
Speaker 3 (30:35):
Let's you didn't see it last week? That you had
to pay up though, I definitely you wouldn't have been
complaining if I missed. I would have had to give
you one hundred cushups for sure. Off the missed eighty? Right,
pay your money though?
Speaker 1 (30:45):
Off?
Speaker 3 (30:45):
How much?
Speaker 1 (30:46):
How fast?
Speaker 3 (30:46):
Off the eighty? If you will?
Speaker 2 (30:47):
Okay, okay, if well heard it, hey just know we
got more challenges for this. Man said, congratulations, absolutely, I
appreciate it you and the Dodgers.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
I appreciate it, man, you see it, baby boy?
Speaker 1 (30:59):
You're out here?
Speaker 3 (31:00):
Hey really quick? Though? What's up with Isaiah and Carter?
And in the high school hoops starting tenth three one?
Speaker 1 (31:06):
Yes, active. They went into Westchester and beat taj in them.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
The other night.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
That was a big win for them. They're three and one.
They had a tough loss. They played this Armenian kid.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
Bro.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
When I tell you, I've never seen that was the
best high school scoring performance I've seen in my life.
It was only forty points. I mean a lot of
kids have done, but that was the best I've personally
seen of a kid taken Kobe esque shots and knocking
him down more consistent from Kobe from the three point line.
Over people over contested like they played good defense on him. Yes,
(31:36):
played good defense. I wish I knew the kid's name.
But man, if you see this, you were a killer
this past week and be out. But they're back at
it tonight.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
Man.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
They played Dion, you know, the point guard from their
AAU team, So it's can be fun. They're playing well.
Isaiah's averaging the double. I think Isaiah's averaging like eighteen
and eleven. The monster on the glass Carter's at about
twelve and a couple of steels. So it's interesting.
Speaker 3 (31:56):
You know.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
Joe Sterling, my guy, I love his family. Shout out
to the family. He transferred over to Harvard West Lake,
so he was our leading guys. So you know, now
the twins have to step up. A year earlier, we
got Peyton, who's the man child out there. He just
hits the ground too damn much. Man, I got to
talk to him. He's on the ground way too much,
talking out as they come in the rim. So yeah, man,
shout out to my guys over at Cresby. Man, it's
gonna be a fun season. I gotta give you credit.
(32:19):
Man's it's a joy to watch you on the sideline too. Man,
I've had to calm down.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
I hear it normally. That's the legal screen that I
don't hear it anymore. Like I don't hear this ship anymore.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
I understand say that I say cuss word.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
That's why I get in trouble. Say the ship you
just said said, that's a motherfucking fellow.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
That's a bullshit as that's what I normally say.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
But no, man, I had to I had to go
in and and and.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
You got some personal NFL. I got called. I had
to go to the principals off. No, man, I go
to the principal presby.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
I kind of felt like, damn, I felt like I
was fifteen again or something forty five sitting in the
motherfucking office and I go on the print.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
But it was cool.
Speaker 4 (32:56):
Man.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
I knew I was out of pocket a little bit
last year, so I had to, you know me, calm myself.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
I'm gonna be honest. That gym owes you, man, like
when you come in to gym, Like you can just
feel that in the gym just changed. Even for the players,
like they want to show off. They want to go
against Isaiah and Carter. They will show you fun. They
owe you, They owe you part of the check.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
I think I don't need no check. Just make sure
you know, take care of my boys.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
Did you see yourself?
Speaker 1 (33:18):
Ever?
Speaker 3 (33:18):
Coaching?
Speaker 2 (33:19):
This might be too many politics for me to coach
the twins at this point, but maybe when my two
younger coming down.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
The pipeline Oeah, sure or Austin.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
Sorry, but man, I appreciate you.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
See.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
We'll see you the pre game tonight for the hate
later you guys. Hey, we got a little bit of
hate at you.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
Like a bier. You're welcome, star, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
Be appreciate you, l my dog.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
Yeah already alrighty, we're back here for my picks of
the week. I can't really talk about this week's pick
last week's picks because we're still in progress. I got
this Monday night game raven Is in Chargers, So we'll
get back to you next week on how I did
last week. But looking forward to this week, we got
some good ones. I'm not necessarily saying this is a
(34:06):
good one. Bears versus the Lions. It's crazy. The Lions
have played on Thanksgaving for so many years where they
weren't any good, and now they're finally good.
Speaker 3 (34:15):
Man.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
I'm happy for them.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
I'm gonna take the Lions minus ten and a half.
That's a lot of points. But the Bears have lost
four straight, firing, five straight, firing offensive coordinators and all
kinds of shit. How do you expect any kind of
stability when you can't put no stability around your quarterback?
So I'm gonna take the Lions minus ten and a half.
Giants cut Daniel Jones, and I'm hearing whispers that the
(34:39):
the Niners might sign him as a backup. I don't
know if we want that, but I'm gonna take the Cowboys.
This hurts my heart to take the Cowboys because I
just love talking shit to Jack and all my other
homies that like the Cowboys. But I'm gonna take the
Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day minus four. This is a tough
one right here, the Eagles. I said it last week,
(34:59):
say is on an MVP terror he could eclipse to
all time Russian record this year went for over over
two hundred and what two thirty last yes, last night,
two fifty five nasty work. I'm gonna take the Eagles
at the Ravens plus two and a half.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
Ravens have been playing well.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
They played a night lost last week, but get a
chance to redeem themselves tonight. But that's a tough, tough
game for the Eagles to go into Baltimore, but I'm
taking them plus two and a half and last but
not least, This is my heart betting. So you may
want to vote the opposite of this pick, but I'm
gonna take the Niners plus six and a half going
into Buffalo if party comes back. So you can see
(35:42):
some asterisks by this shit on Sunday morning. If Perty's
not playing this week, because I didn't know Perty wasn't
playing last week and I still picked them and we
got our heads blown off, So there's an asterisk by that.
But if party's back, I'm gonna take the Niners plus
six and a half.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
That's a rap man.
Speaker 2 (35:57):
I hope you guys enjoyed this episode of Unplugged. We
will catch you guys next week.
Welcome back to Unplugged.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
We finally got my guy in the building making his
first appearance on this new, revamped Unplugged stack.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
What's up, bro?
Speaker 3 (00:11):
Cool on what s up? Shoot?
Speaker 1 (00:13):
Ship? How was your weekend?
Speaker 3 (00:15):
It was cool, man.
Speaker 4 (00:15):
I ain't doing too much nothing, man, just getting ready
for Turkey Day.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Yeah yeah, yeah, I mean you you were the talk
of the internet for a few days, bro. He was
buzzing when we put your when we put your own
music out.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (00:31):
Man, I didn't expect that either, and I didn't even
know y'all was posting that ship.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
But it turned out being good as usual.
Speaker 5 (00:39):
A lot of people that didn't know I rapped chimed
in a lot of people that knew I rap chimed in,
and I heard my music saying I need to do
more music.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
I got to hit from Bun b and Killer Collie on.
So you know, guys that.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
Got a lot of love.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
You got a lot of love on the GRAMD too.
The Graham was apavy with it.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Yeah, my damn was going crazy. So it inspired me
to do some more music. Man.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Uh oh, you about to get back in the lap.
Speaker 5 (01:01):
Yeah, I'm gonna do another projects. Bout ten songs all
the Smoke, Volume one, Volume one, the original. Yeah, like
like my boy Dylan said, a lot of people I
missed the social media area era when I was doing
my music, and I was doing a lot of stuff,
more than any rapper of a dumb besides Shack probably,
but I probably did more.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Got a lot of music. Yeah, so just to be
maybe maybe you can cook something up before All Star
we go back.
Speaker 5 (01:25):
To the bay. Yeah, it takes no time. But what
I got four month, three months? Yes, it's easy.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Yeah, yeah, okay, I like it. I like it.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Well, Kendrick just dropped on Friday and obviously had everybody
ears to it. Gn X came out What was your thought?
Twenty twenty four. It's been heavy for Kendrick and I
was actually late. I'm finally just getting to it last
night and this morning. But this ship is going for me.
(01:55):
What'd you think of it?
Speaker 3 (01:56):
He jamming?
Speaker 5 (01:57):
That's what kids you do. I mean, I would never
go against songs like that. You know what I'm saying,
that's that's a show shot. You know, you're just behaving
that ship jamming and his content. You know the stuff
he was saying in it, you know, it's real deep,
even with the car. You know, the car came out
the year the year he was born. It was only
the further original was black on the cover. So like,
(02:19):
it's a lot of stuff that he's saying that's deep.
And I didn't even take what he said about Wayne
and Snoop as a disc you know. Yeah, I didn't
take it that way. I don't think Wayne did too,
but I think he still had to respond, But you know,
I don't. I don't think that should end up as
a as a beef, you know, with Kendrick and Wayne.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
I kind of feel like the song was dope. He
responded to how Wayne?
Speaker 5 (02:37):
You know, he kind of felt like he wanted Wayne
to congratulate him too, because he looked up to Wayne.
He's the jam Wayne. You know what I'm saying. But
I feel how Wayne felt too. We coming home. This
is my home. I'm the best rapper ever come from,
you know. So I look at it both sides. Man,
I just hope it don't end up in nothing negative.
But if Wayne did come up with a song and responded,
I wouldn't be mad.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Yeah, I mean, I didn't look at it as a
disc by any means. And I actually heard someone tell
a story about how kind of that came about. They
said that, I want to say it was Jay Rock
had Wayne in the studio and they said something like
Wayne had hit like not twelve singles off for twelve
different or you know, for a handful of different people
in one night. And it made Kendrick kind of evaluate, like, Yo,
(03:17):
this is how we got to work, you know, this
is how hard we got to work. So when he
said my hard work let Wayne down, I think he
was paying homage to Wayne initially because Wayne gave him
a different grime is from what I heard. So I
don't really know how true the story is, but it
seemed like a.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Pretty logical reason. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
I mean, like I said, I don't think it needs
a tone there. And as we've talked about on this
show before, man, I completely understand where this could have
been a great opportunity for Wayne to write off in
the sunset, you know, to kind of the stamp on
the legendary career. But it didn't happen to beginning at
the same time, I mean, who's I can't recall an
artist who's had a bigger year in a while, you
(03:58):
know what I mean? A lot of people have put
out good music. But who have really kind of controlled
twenty twenty four obviously the last half of twenty twenty four.
And what I liked about the album too and again,
and I'm still studying it. But the Na's influence, the
Pock influence, you know, the lady he got from the
Dodger game, and he put on maybe six unless you're
(04:19):
kind of a real West Coast head or LA artist.
He put on six young if I'm not mistaken, LA
guys that you know, obviously this is going to be
their highest stream ever. So he did a lot of things,
the Luther sample and so yeah, I'm really appreciating this
body of work as I continue to study it. But
I mean, shit, Kiddings had a hell of a twenty
(04:39):
I actually talked to top his I don't know if
it is his manager or just his partner anymore, and
he just, you know, to put out a statement about,
you know, stay out the way right now, this is
the dangerous man. And me and him were hitting. He
told me Kendricks and Mamba mentality right now. I started laughing,
like he's definitely, he's definitely on one right now.
Speaker 5 (04:59):
Got you gotta respect. I mean, Wayne been having this
run for a long time, and they to it. They
too it a go. So people definitely want to see
them butt heads because they know how Wayne get down,
they know how kids would get down. But at the
same time, I see the respect that they have for
each other in both of their posts.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
I hope that somehow, someway we get Wayne at the
super Bowl. Somehow, someway. I mean, obviously there has to
have some conversations have to be had, but I think
the world would love that. To backtrack a little bit, Jack,
how did how did the rap how did the rap
bug bite you?
Speaker 1 (05:31):
How did you get into rapping?
Speaker 2 (05:32):
And who are some of your you know, your inspirations
and shit, Like you said, you're rejuvenated to get back
in the studio right now.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
But where did it all start for you?
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (05:43):
Being from Texas, we we didn't listen.
Speaker 5 (05:46):
We didn't hear too much outside music outside of Texas
because Texas is so big and being in South Texas,
all we heard was really Texas music and Louisiana music
because we forty five minutes from Louisiana. So DJ Screw
really was the first person to open my ears in
a lot of people ears to music from the West
Coast and East Coast, but he if you know anything
(06:07):
about DJ Screw, he slowed the music down, so a
lot of we heard music from everywhere. So DJ Screw
he had such a big influence that he had. He
started bringing local rappers in and they start freestyling to
beach from everywhere from it was West Coast beaching and
so we all start riding listen to that, So we
all start freestyling from listening to DJ DJ Screw. We
(06:29):
tried to pick up that same cadence, that same freestyle
from growing up listening to that, and that started me rapping.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
That started me going to my.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
Playing about fourteen fifteen. By fourteen fifteen, going to Little
with my homeboy Wayne. My Wayne had my homeboy Wye
had a group called Gangs, the Players, and they they
had they had their own house right next door to
their mama house where they could do whatever they want,
and they had a studio in there. And and his
(06:55):
older brother name was DJ Dan. He used to DJ
at the clubs and all that. So they have so
we used to go over there and free island rapping them.
So that's why I actually started rapping. But I didn't
start putting out my my own music attil I got
to the league.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
A lot of people.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
It was new to a lot of people, you know,
as as we discussed it to be in the show
that you know, you was really on a real mixtape tour.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
You have a ton of.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Music, unplayed music you you You've done songs with legends.
Did you face any backlash from the league or from
David Stern while you were on these tours of putting
out these albums, because I remember Ai put out an
album that had too much cussing and they were on
his head.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Did you ever have any pushback from the league?
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Yeah? I did. I mean people said certain things.
Speaker 5 (07:38):
Now you know, I got questions from UH, from UH
staff members in the office about what I was doing,
stuff like that, but I really didn't get a personal
call until shit, my last year in the league, I
was doing the mixtape and I was I actually, you know,
kind of had a conversation with David starting about it
because one of the songs I was doing was about
(08:00):
was about down, Yeah, down, Donald Sterling, It's not going
to call America the beautiful with scarface and in the
video is like four minutes long, so you know, we
went crazy on it. But and I wanted to tell
him a you know, have to let him know up
that I was dropping. He was like, man, I never
told you anything about your music. Just be ready to
flight to come from it. And I never got any
flag from it, you know the way. I never played
an NBA again.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
But that was it. That's what you said about. Yeah,
that was it.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Who are some of the bigger names that you've you've
rapped with and and maybe released or haven't even released.
I remember you were talking right before we got online.
You talked about you did done some ship with Shack.
But who are some of the bigger names you've you've
got on with.

Speaker 3 (11:49):
D o C.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
See you guys, take a look at this edic you
know from.
Speaker 6 (11:54):
And I know I'm a I am one who's speaking
from you know, because Dre is my god. Yeah, but
I don't think that there's anybody else in hip hop
music that's ever been as good as he is doing
what he does and watching him thirty thirty five, almost
forty years, it's so easy for that dude. It seemed
(12:16):
like he do the same little shit every time and
it come out the same dope. Pass West fact, I
just left LA. I had to go out there and
get the release sign by my big brother.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
For this documentary.
Speaker 6 (12:33):
Took me a couple of days, but.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
I got it.
Speaker 6 (12:37):
And we was able to He was twisting up some
stuff for Snoopy's record that comes out next month. I
think it's I think it's on the thirteen.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Yeah, Dog was telling us about that process.
Speaker 6 (12:45):
Rais in his bag right now? Is he?
Speaker 1 (12:47):
YEA love du Snoop.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
Let us hear some of that shit, and I can't
wait to hit the streets.
Speaker 6 (12:51):
Trais in his Bag, Snoop sound great. Those guys are happy,
they're in a good space. They showed me a ten
minute piece of content with the songs in it, in
and out of the video, and it was really interesting.
I don't want to you know, Dre get it. You
feel the kind of way if you talk about it.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
It was, Yeah, I don't want to get.
Speaker 6 (13:14):
Twenty five is gonna be fu fuck that time in
West Coast music. Twenty five is gonna be a good year.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Yeah yeah, yeah, bring it back. We go hear some
doc in twenty five? Well, Jack, I mean this one
was dope. Obviously the legend that the DC is and
obviously I knew about him, but to get more, to
get that extra layers and I'm such a West Coast
hip hop head man, that was that was special, you know.
Obviously the connection with Dre and Snoop and the new
(13:43):
project they got coming out But what were some of
your favorite parts and takeaways from the interview with DC?
Speaker 5 (13:50):
Well, DC legend, you know me being from Texas, He's
a legend from Texas. He told you how he went
to Cali and when he came back to Dallas, everybody
was dressing like they was from La because of him,
you know, he had. He had a big influence over
Texas and bringing the West Coast music to Texas.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
But for me, I think I.
Speaker 5 (14:05):
Related the most to him, Matt is when he was saying,
like the gratification of everything for him being solid and
being real with everybody that's coming back to him in
the years where he really can enjoy it.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
I kind of feel that way too, you know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (14:17):
With a lot of stuff that went on in my life,
I'm finally getting to the point where I'm making up
for a lot of my mistakes, getting a lot of
stuff that I got to get off my back, you know,
to maybe enjoy enjoy today.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
And I seen that in him too. He a solid dude.
He's been solid with so many people.
Speaker 5 (14:30):
Never said nothing, never to me, nobody, but he has
such a big influence and that sound and that music,
So for him to be able to be solid today
and say, you know how good it feels for him
to get all this just do now you know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
I think that's what I got most from the interview.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Mm hmm, definitely dope.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
How you know that thirty five year term he signed
and now all that music is coming back to him,
so beautiful thing.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Man, make sure you guys checked that interview out. It was.
It was a good one.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Before we get to get you out of here, Jack
Women's college basketball's back rolling, my bruin. Late ees took
down South Carolina. We were watching the game, kept thinking like, okay,
South Carolina. You know they're going to make a run.
You know they're gonna make a run. Man, the shout
out to UCLA. Man, they didn't allow that run to happen.
You know, the Bruins as a team played together. Shout
out coach Corey. That's my girl. They made it jump
(15:16):
from number five to number one after that dominating victory
over South Carolina and in South Carolina's forty three game
win streak, first time UCLA has ever beat a number
one women's basketball.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
We got a chance to do that.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
You know, we beat Kansas my senior year Drew Good
and then Nick Collinson and them boys.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
But Jack, what did you think about that game?
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Obviously I know your relationship with coach Day and the
love and admiration they are for her, and I think
that's your favorite women's college team, So what was your
thoughts on the game?
Speaker 3 (15:45):
Played a great game.
Speaker 5 (15:46):
They definitely didn't let South Carolina make that running and
get that lead back to find a way to win
that game. But what I will say is UCLA is
the bigger team. This is the small one of the
smallest teams that Don Staley didn't had, so they gonna
have to figure out how to use they and that
led us to be, you know, a top tier team
this year. USLA was the better team from top to bottom.
The guard play, all that was great. But for the
(16:07):
most part, you know, South Carolina is my team with
Don Stowele is somebody who I'm a big fan of.
But I think for the most part, this is one
of the smallest teams she had, so they just got
to figure out their identity.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
You got to figure it out small ball. But shout
out to UCLA coach Corey Lauryn bettch keep all the
whole crew man number one in the country, salute and
then jack right up the way. The SC women squared
off against Notre Dame, and Notre Dame came into sc
and handled their business. I mean that back court of
Notre Dame could be the top back court in the country.
(16:40):
But they really did a number. We're able to get
a thirteen point victory over USC. What was your thoughts
on that game and some of the problems they gave.
Speaker 5 (16:47):
Juju, Yeah, somebody gonna have to step up on us USC.
Ju is gonna get a lot of attention like that team,
seeing team seeing that they can beat them like that
in the tournament last year when they kind of bottle
up and make somebody else beat them, and they still
have figured that out. I think for Notre Dame, Hidagos
just picking up what she left off last year. She
had a let down in the tournament, but she she
(17:08):
she worked on a game this summer and everybody knew
their Blackhall was gonna be one of the top ones,
but they hadgo is definitely somebody that you're gonna have
to look out for this year. I think Juju is
still a number one pick, but in order for them
to have a great season, They're gonna have to find
some find her some more help when teams are basically
running the box and one.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
On the Juju got a whole another year before she
can even go to the league, So she's got some
to me her size though five to six that's little.
An average twenty five and five steals per game, that's
that's insane.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
Man.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
So I've been shut out to these women.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
And you know, this weekend obviously, with Caitlyn and Angel gone,
now you know who's gonna hold it down. I think
there was such a jump. I think there was a
lot of momentum these past few years in women's basketball.
Now it's carried over to the W but uh, you
know who are some of the women jack you think
can help keep the game at the level it's it's
reached from the people before them.
Speaker 5 (18:00):
Well, it's gonna have to be Juju and like hadago,
page Buckets, Uh uh, women like that that that that
have a name that's been balling for the last couple
of years. I think I think those three names are
some of the ones that you can look out for
to have great years. And uh, people be talking about
a lot, especially page Buckets.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
But I think what helped the momentum in.
Speaker 5 (18:21):
Oh my bad, can't my bad, I'm mean to cut off.
Can't forget about Flage, can't forget about l s U.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Yeah, no, definitely not.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
But I think what helped bolster not only those individual players,
but the fact they got a chance to play against
each other and there were storylines, you know, every time,
and then there were storylines leading into the league. So
definitely looking forward to this year in college, it's crazy
that you know, arguably, I mean, there's there's there's there's
some big name talent talented on the guys side, but
(18:49):
women's college basketball, man is really kind of jumped.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
I wouldn't say jump men's, but.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
It's pretty even right now, I think as far as
just people really tuning into the big game. So we'll
see how the rest of the season goes. Anythings, giving
plans with you and the family. I saw you threw
down on some gumbo the other day. You cooking, you
cooking for the for the holiday.
Speaker 5 (19:08):
Yeah, I'm just making a corner bead dressing. Okay, I'm
getting I'm getting a turkey from Less Barbicaus. Shout out
Less Barbecue out there, and you tell I'm getting my turkey,
my smoke turkey from him, and we have friends coming up, soay,
everybody bringing the dish.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
My wife making a couple of sides. But I'm just
doing the dressing.
Speaker 5 (19:22):
And you know, nine out of ten times, whoever make
the dressing on Thanksgiving is the coldest.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
Well that's what me and I's are are tasked with
this year too. So we're actually on the dressing stuff
and whatever people call it that.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
Yeah, I mean I have no problem.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
Meling is something, Bro, I can.
Speaker 5 (19:39):
I can make it today and get it off to
you, you know if you need it, bro, because I'm.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Live and even mad. I mean, we're gonna see I
see some cookers Jack. Before we get out of here.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
What are you thankful for here in this year twenty
twenty four, as we turn the page on a special
year for our company.
Speaker 5 (19:57):
Well, i'll give you. I'll give you a few things.
I'll give you three things. One, I'm thankful for health
and life. Uh to still be here too. I'm thankful
for all you guys at the company that's around me,
that's making me better daily.
Speaker 4 (20:14):
Uh, that's dealing with my bullshit. But you know, see
the see.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
That that's that's see the good in me, and uh
and that genuinely loved me, like you don't get that
much these days. But the third, I'm just I'm most
thankful for being able to have opportunity to right my wrongs.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
I think that's where I'm met. That's where I'm met
in life.
Speaker 5 (20:32):
I met a lot of mistakes in life that I'm
still trying to recover and fix. But I'm just thankful
for the opportunity to fix because I can see, I
can see what's what, what's what's through the clouds when
I'm out of all this. So I'm thankful. I'm thankful
for that opportunity.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
That's dope. Man, You're definitely on the right path. Should
we on the right path? You know, similar paths our
whole lives. So to be here where we're at in
twenty twenty four, man, and think about what we've accomplished
and what's to come. And I'm really excited at about
what's to come in twenty five. So man, give him
to give the family my best, Tell him I love him. Yeah,
(21:07):
we'll catch up after the holidays, yes sir, all right, bro.
Later Now I want to welcome back the one and
only neighborhood hater who boycotted the show last week because
we didn't take him to Dallas scenes and his feelings.
This nigga was salt take him to Dallas, so he
(21:27):
was busy last Monday. I wanted to get you on
Last Money because your boys have won five straight. I
want you to come on here and talk your shit.
But I feel like, because you're new to this camera game,
you haven't really been talking the shit We're accustomed to
you talking like. I feel like you'll talk here privately,
but you don't want to say it out loud because
you don't want to run across like an Austin reason.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
He slapped the shit at it.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
No, he had to box with me though, bro, so
just know that we'll have to fight about it.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
He's bigger than you, know that right?
Speaker 3 (21:50):
Not in this world, He's not.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
His world rank is lower than yours.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Now the Lakers have dropped too straight Fawns Wagner hit
a game winner who missed the free someone miss free
throws though right ad missed too.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
Big, missed one. We missed a couple two.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
In Denver.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Uh Nasty J just said, you guys didn't come really
come out there and compete. So I think, what was
it five straight before you guys lost two straight?
Speaker 3 (22:17):
Six straight?
Speaker 2 (22:18):
It was six straight, sir, and then you know the
last two of falling. What do you kind of see
out there on the court right now?
Speaker 3 (22:23):
Well, it all went to ship fast, you know what
I mean. Like we was on top of the world.
You know, I was posting every day at the Lakers
getting hype. Yeah, and then all of a sudden we
missing free throws and take an al. We got Franz
what's his name, Franner Wagner looking like Michael Jordan against us, Like,
you know, people come in our house and.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
He was aggressive. Are you kids? Guy?
Speaker 3 (22:46):
Are you kidding?
Speaker 1 (22:46):
He's a big kid though he was about six nine sixteen.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
Yes, indeed. But I will say this, I don't think
it's over for us. Surely we got a couple moves
to make like a sap though, Like I'm like, we
don't need to wait any longer to be okay.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
So who are some people you you feel like are
on the bump right now? For you guys? Sixteen games
into the season, first d Low Delo's gotta go.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
We could wave and we don't even need anything back
for him.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
You just wanted.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
To get in the back room. Just get out of
my locker room.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
BROI d like that.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
I mean, well, how long do we have to wait next?
I'm gonna be honest. I'm not like sold on Austin Reeves.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
He's been untouchable to your front office.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
Absolutely. And where did that word come from? Who put
untouchable on him? I don't know. Yeah, No, he's not untouchable,
especially not untouchable when we need for our team to
get better.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
He's averaging seventeen and five though.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
Yes, but has he had any big games for us
this year? I know Connectors had plenty of big games.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
For I like that.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
You guys got two. You got two nice white boys rarely,
they said. It might have been the first time in
NBA history with two white boys through a white boy
through a lob to another white boy.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
It was tough. But they can both.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Are You would get rid of connect too.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
If we're going to make our team better?
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Yes, so you would. You would throw him in there?
So what about a Hachie Mora or Gabe Vincent. You
guys have a lot. I mean, I think the strength really,
honestly of this roster and all jokes aside is you
guys have some tradable.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
Pieces, absolutely, but they're saying that we don't have anything
of value right now, which I don't agree with.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
I mean, I think probably Austin Reeves is probably your
guys are outside of your stars, your your your biggest
bargaining chip. I think a lot of teams would jump
at Connet. I don't know if the Lakers will let
him go. I think there's his ceiling is unknown right now,
but his size and the way he could shoot that bitch.
I know Bron loved him, so he ain't going no where.
Why Bron is here?
Speaker 1 (24:43):
Who else? The dudes that are hurt Cam reddish his back?
He can go too, he can go. Yes, trade just wave.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
We can trade Cam because I'm sure somebody could use them.
But let's be honest, Vanderbilt, Christer Wood and all these
guys who haven't even showed up one time for us
this year, don't These guys can be on the chopping
block too. But I'm curious, what do you think we
should do.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
I definitely think you and Golden State are two teams
I look at that have great pieces for trades and
if really wanted. Although and I say, there's all due
respect because Golden State is one in the West. Right now,
I still feel like they're a piece away from trying
to get Steph that fifth. There's a lot of talk
right now, and Steph even said, I'm only I'm only
in this ship now for rings. You know, I'm tired,
(25:29):
you know, me and my body weary. But I feel
like the same thing with Bron, you know what I mean?
And what does it do to my question? Does it
do anything to Bron's legacy? If Steph grabs one more?
Why Bron is still here? You know, because I think
they measure greatness on how many people got rings on
your watch, you know what I mean. So if Steph
was able to get five and Bron was finished before,
(25:51):
which is still great?
Speaker 3 (25:52):
With that?
Speaker 1 (25:52):
With that damnage Bron's legacy at all?
Speaker 3 (25:54):
In your opinion, absolutely, because Bron has had every opportunity
to get a couple of rings. Yep, you know what
I mean. But he decided he wanted his son a
part of our team.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
But you guys weren't going to get nobody for the
fifty fifth pick. Though, Bro, the fifty fifth pick never
even makes the fucking roster.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
But guess what, we'll never know because we have Lebron
jor Okay, well.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
We'll never know.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
You're stupid, So uh, let's see what else we got,
he said, we'll never know, all right, before we transition
to our next topic. Do you trust the guy making
the calls, not on the team but behind the management,
Rob Polinka? Do you trust his vision?
Speaker 3 (26:35):
Well? I was just asking Nate, like, does he have
any General Managers of the Year awards? And I don't
think he does. And I think this will be a
perfect opportunity for him to step up. Like you know,
he's been here so long, you have the Laker fans
waiting for him to do something big. Imagine Lebron going
out at forty years old with a chip like.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
Crazy with that put him in the I think I
think you got to put him number one. If if
Brown gets one more, especially at this point in his career,
you know what I mean. And you know I'm Cob
and MJ and I've always loved and respect Broun, But
I mean for him to get one more I think
would cement him at You know, obviously we could break
this down a real conversation if it happens, but it'd
be hard not to put him number one.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
Come on, and that's and I bring Polenka up to
your job, man, like, be great.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
I mean you're here for an opportunity.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
I mean you stuck us with Brian and a d.
You literally sold our souls for both of those players
to be here for their career.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
Who's waiting in the win too? Low Ki And this
is just my opinion. Bob Myers.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
Oh that's my guy too. We love Bob.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
I'm just saying, Bob is out here.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Bob is back out here and enjoying the La sun,
fucking around on ESPN a little bit, working on this tan,
still getting a lot of money, like Bob.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
Myers is in the like Polinka got some pictures on
the Lakers or something. Yeah, some kind of ship. Yeah,
because somehow he's still here.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
Might be bloody and blood out to cut from.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
Cob, clearly that's what's happening.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
You guys only ranked fourth offensively, so you guys are
definitely putting the ball in the basket. But twenty six defensively,
we know you at least got to be in the
top half, if not top ten, to really be a
contender in this league. But Obviously Bron is back doing
bron shit twenty five, nine and eight, eighty is at
thirty and eleven, Austin Reeves at seventeen and five, and
(28:19):
the Young Boy connect twelve points on forty five percent
from the three point line. Obviously some defensive improvements. Are
there any realistic trades?
Speaker 3 (28:29):
You know?
Speaker 2 (28:30):
I know we key keat and ha haad, But are
there anybody out there you really feel that can help
this team?
Speaker 3 (28:36):
I mean, I would think the first on my list
would be the valatoonists. Yeah, I think he.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Would in Houston? No, no, no, with Washington. Okay, you know
Steven Adams is in Houston, right, Yeah? Those are two
bigs right there.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
So we know we need a big We definitely need
another score, and then we need a perimeter defender.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
What would a Jimmy? But because I would love that,
think he checks two of those boxes.
Speaker 3 (29:02):
Absolutely, I would love that. If Jimmy came here, we'd
have to give up a lot to get him, I'm guessing,
but it still would put us in a position to
help Lebron and ab out.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
So you would give up? Would you give up Reeves, Connect,
Hocheie Moore and the draft.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
Pick for and gay Vincent. You can add him. You
can throw him to the freebie in there. You guys
can just take that, you know what I mean, take that.
But yes, I would make.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
It back to Miami. That's where he was doing his
thing at.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
I would take that trade in a minute. I mean,
I think Jimmy could come in and get between Lebron
and a D. Pauls.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
He's at thirty five too, so he's he's you know
what I mean, he knows that the windows closing him
as well.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
Yes, and not just Washington played the last couple of games.
He's like to like Jimmy's hooping right now. And obviously
you're hearing about this. Robert Williams the third guy from
where he.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
Could stay healthy, if he could stay he was a
big part of this. This the surgeons now that we
see of Boston kind of before Pazingas got there. But
he tried to play throw those knee injuries and I
didn't like it. And then he goes to Portland where
they've had a history of trying to make guys play
through knee injuries with their previous regime. We also would
have to Brandon Royce. So I think Robert Williams is tough,
but he just hasn't been healthy and obviously jumping is
(30:05):
a huge part of his game, so we will have
to see. I just want to say, before you get
out of your full of shit, for that ninety mile
an hour sh it wasn't not We definitely you got
your money, though.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
How do you know what makes you the god of
velocity of us?
Speaker 2 (30:21):
I just played baseball for a long time to play softball.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
You haven't played baseball in like thirty five years.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
I played.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
I'm younger than you, so I played baseball through high school.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
You have never seen ninety hour before I have.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
Where have you seen it?
Speaker 3 (30:33):
Anyway, let's keep it going.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
Where have you seen nine hours?
Speaker 3 (30:35):
Let's you didn't see it last week? That you had
to pay up though, I definitely you wouldn't have been
complaining if I missed. I would have had to give
you one hundred cushups for sure. Off the missed eighty? Right,
pay your money though?
Speaker 1 (30:45):
Off?
Speaker 3 (30:45):
How much?
Speaker 1 (30:46):
How fast?
Speaker 3 (30:46):
Off the eighty? If you will?
Speaker 2 (30:47):
Okay, okay, if well heard it, hey just know we
got more challenges for this. Man said, congratulations, absolutely, I
appreciate it you and the Dodgers.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
I appreciate it, man, you see it, baby boy?
Speaker 1 (30:59):
You're out here?
Speaker 3 (31:00):
Hey really quick? Though? What's up with Isaiah and Carter?
And in the high school hoops starting tenth three one?
Speaker 1 (31:06):
Yes, active. They went into Westchester and beat taj in them.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
The other night.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
That was a big win for them. They're three and one.
They had a tough loss. They played this Armenian kid.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
Bro.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
When I tell you, I've never seen that was the
best high school scoring performance I've seen in my life.
It was only forty points. I mean a lot of
kids have done, but that was the best I've personally
seen of a kid taken Kobe esque shots and knocking
him down more consistent from Kobe from the three point line.
Over people over contested like they played good defense on him. Yes,
(31:36):
played good defense. I wish I knew the kid's name.
But man, if you see this, you were a killer
this past week and be out. But they're back at
it tonight.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
Man.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
They played Dion, you know, the point guard from their
AAU team, So it's can be fun. They're playing well.
Isaiah's averaging the double. I think Isaiah's averaging like eighteen
and eleven. The monster on the glass Carter's at about
twelve and a couple of steels. So it's interesting.
Speaker 3 (31:56):
You know.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
Joe Sterling, my guy, I love his family. Shout out
to the family. He transferred over to Harvard West Lake,
so he was our leading guys. So you know, now
the twins have to step up. A year earlier, we
got Peyton, who's the man child out there. He just
hits the ground too damn much. Man, I got to
talk to him. He's on the ground way too much,
talking out as they come in the rim. So yeah, man,
shout out to my guys over at Cresby. Man, it's
gonna be a fun season. I gotta give you credit.
(32:19):
Man's it's a joy to watch you on the sideline too. Man,
I've had to calm down.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
I hear it normally. That's the legal screen that I
don't hear it anymore. Like I don't hear this ship anymore.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
I understand say that I say cuss word.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
That's why I get in trouble. Say the ship you
just said said, that's a motherfucking fellow.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
That's a bullshit as that's what I normally say.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
But no, man, I had to I had to go
in and and and.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
You got some personal NFL. I got called. I had
to go to the principals off. No, man, I go
to the principal presby.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
I kind of felt like, damn, I felt like I
was fifteen again or something forty five sitting in the
motherfucking office and I go on the print.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
But it was cool.
Speaker 4 (32:56):
Man.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
I knew I was out of pocket a little bit
last year, so I had to, you know me, calm myself.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
I'm gonna be honest. That gym owes you, man, like
when you come in to gym, Like you can just
feel that in the gym just changed. Even for the players,
like they want to show off. They want to go
against Isaiah and Carter. They will show you fun. They
owe you, They owe you part of the check.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
I think I don't need no check. Just make sure
you know, take care of my boys.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
Did you see yourself?
Speaker 1 (33:18):
Ever?
Speaker 3 (33:18):
Coaching?
Speaker 2 (33:19):
This might be too many politics for me to coach
the twins at this point, but maybe when my two
younger coming down.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
The pipeline Oeah, sure or Austin.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
Sorry, but man, I appreciate you.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
See.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
We'll see you the pre game tonight for the hate
later you guys. Hey, we got a little bit of
hate at you.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
Like a bier. You're welcome, star, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
Be appreciate you, l my dog.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
Yeah already alrighty, we're back here for my picks of
the week. I can't really talk about this week's pick
last week's picks because we're still in progress. I got
this Monday night game raven Is in Chargers, So we'll
get back to you next week on how I did
last week. But looking forward to this week, we got
some good ones. I'm not necessarily saying this is a
(34:06):
good one. Bears versus the Lions. It's crazy. The Lions
have played on Thanksgaving for so many years where they
weren't any good, and now they're finally good.
Speaker 3 (34:15):
Man.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
I'm happy for them.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
I'm gonna take the Lions minus ten and a half.
That's a lot of points. But the Bears have lost
four straight, firing, five straight, firing offensive coordinators and all
kinds of shit. How do you expect any kind of
stability when you can't put no stability around your quarterback?
So I'm gonna take the Lions minus ten and a half.
Giants cut Daniel Jones, and I'm hearing whispers that the
(34:39):
the Niners might sign him as a backup. I don't
know if we want that, but I'm gonna take the Cowboys.
This hurts my heart to take the Cowboys because I
just love talking shit to Jack and all my other
homies that like the Cowboys. But I'm gonna take the
Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day minus four. This is a tough
one right here, the Eagles. I said it last week,
(34:59):
say is on an MVP terror he could eclipse to
all time Russian record this year went for over over
two hundred and what two thirty last yes, last night,
two fifty five nasty work. I'm gonna take the Eagles
at the Ravens plus two and a half.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
Ravens have been playing well.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
They played a night lost last week, but get a
chance to redeem themselves tonight. But that's a tough, tough
game for the Eagles to go into Baltimore, but I'm
taking them plus two and a half and last but
not least, This is my heart betting. So you may
want to vote the opposite of this pick, but I'm
gonna take the Niners plus six and a half going
into Buffalo if party comes back. So you can see
(35:42):
some asterisks by this shit on Sunday morning. If Perty's
not playing this week, because I didn't know Perty wasn't
playing last week and I still picked them and we
got our heads blown off, So there's an asterisk by that.
But if party's back, I'm gonna take the Niners plus
six and a half.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
That's a rap man.
Speaker 2 (35:57):
I hope you guys enjoyed this episode of Unplugged. We
will catch you guys next week.
