Speaker 1 (00:01):
I feel like I'm like backpack wrapper level Ridge right now,
does that make sense? I'm not like rapper Rapper Ridge,
but I'm like me and someone who is on Ruckus
Records in the nineties probably makes the same amount Like
any of the niggas on sound Bombing, We probably make
the same amount of money. It doesn't.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
Racist the.

Speaker 3 (00:37):
Money star stuff. I can't tell me. Bang bang bang
skeet skeet skeet. There it is there, it is. Ladies
and gentlemen, Welcome to another phenomenal episode of My Mama Told.

Speaker 1 (00:54):
Me, the podcast where we dive deep, deep into the
pockets of black expience theories.

Speaker 3 (01:01):
And we finally worked to prove that the game turning
his tear drop tattoo into a butterfly tattoo into an
LA logo is the first ever recorded triple down in
bad decisions for face tattoos. That is, that is phenomenal

(01:21):
shitty decision making.

Speaker 4 (01:23):
What about the Gucci made I would argue that Gucci,
while while his his ice cream was more substantially offensive
and and frankly bad compared to the game's decision making,
he didn't do it.

Speaker 3 (01:39):
Three different times. He did anytimes he made one bad
choice with the ice cream, and then he was like,
I am going to do my best to make this
fade over time. I have made a mistake.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
Here's here's my question. Do you think there's a possibility
for a four down?

Speaker 3 (02:00):
Do you think you could see that it's tough because
that la is big now it's yeah, it's pretty big
compared to what it started.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
As it has gotten heavy. I don't think he should
have played out. I don't think he should have left
the butterfly. I didn't think it was that bad.

Speaker 3 (02:19):
You think he should have stopped that butterfly. It wasn't
that terrible. It didn't feel incorrect for whatever the game
was trying to be at the time.

Speaker 1 (02:27):
And he's like, let's be honest, he's a pretty dramatic guy,
but he's a diva.

Speaker 3 (02:33):
He is a for sure.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
Do you remember I had to stop following him on
Instagram because he would have those like just those dirty,
dirty posts of him in like tight tight underwear with
what I'm gonna be honest, I think it's probably a
fake penis.

Speaker 3 (02:47):
Yeah, no, it was objectively either you have the biggest
penis in the Greater Los Angeles area or or sir
you've put it. You've put a hell of an egg
glant inside your drawers, trying to pass it off to
all of us.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
That was fake. I remember seeing it and being like,
good god.

Speaker 3 (03:11):
It was the first time I respected the game. I
was like, oh, whoa.

Speaker 1 (03:15):
No, because I was like, I was like, impossible. Yeah,
he doesn't have like he doesn't have guys with a
giant penis energy. No. That Yeah, it's confidence.

Speaker 3 (03:30):
Yeah, it's confidence. Definitely feels like a man with a
small like I wouldn't say small, but certainly too small
for his six four frame.

Speaker 1 (03:39):
Right right, big huge dick. Dude. It's like kind of dumb,
you know what I mean. It's like, oh, the blood
is going down there. You're not like fun and the game.
He's very smart.

Speaker 3 (03:50):
Yeah, he's smart, but he's he's annoying about it, and
and he's he's constantly lying to us about things that
that we could easily check. And it's like, yeah, you
just although he was on Change of Heart, did you
ever see that he was blonde?

Speaker 1 (04:09):
Right?

Speaker 3 (04:10):
No, this was way before that. This was like before
he was even a successful rapper. He did that old
game show Change of Heart. They used to be on
upn and he was just a nice man who him
and his girl went on the show. For those that
don't remember the premise, the deal was you you go
on the show with your significant other and then they

(04:31):
send you out on separate dates with a new person,
and then you come back and decide if you want
to stay with the person you've you came with or
you have quote unquote a change of heart and you
start dating the other individual.

Speaker 1 (04:45):
What happened to him? Did he get change of hearted?
He did?

Speaker 3 (04:48):
So the game goes out on this date. They always
set you up with a bad bitch who was like
fucking gorgeous and cool and spends the whole time being like, Hey,
I think your penis would take the best in my mouth,
and I don't know why your girl doesn't feel that way.
I'm a perfect Yeah, you're I can. If I could

(05:11):
fit it in here, I would suck it further forever.
And so the game goes out with the girl. They
have a sexy time, and his girl goes out with
the guy. They have a sexy time, and then she
comes back and she says she wants to have a
change of heart. After he goes I want to be
with my lady.

Speaker 1 (05:27):
Oh, that's the worst.

Speaker 3 (05:28):
Outcome again, A penis that that is forgettable, at the
very least for for a lady that was willing to
go on TV.

Speaker 1 (05:37):
With the game. Yeah, if he was doing that, she
wouldn't even go down there.

Speaker 3 (05:40):
No change the art, motherfucker. You have a rare artifact
trapped in your Pantsiana Jones Penis, Yeah, this is you know,
you know, sloths used to be like six ft feet tall.
This is like, this is like a different era of
an that.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
Man has a different a different time.

Speaker 3 (06:04):
Yeah, this is prehistoric, big dog. If that's what we're
talking about, I'm not gonna give this up.

Speaker 1 (06:10):
That ship is so big it looks like it could
be the result of some kind of a black magic curse.

Speaker 3 (06:22):
Right, like you wish to be a world famous rapper.
And then the Witch was like, but I'm cursing you
with the big pigenis And he's like, but that's fucking awesome,
and she's like, no, no, no, no, not the way,
not the way I plan on hitting you.

Speaker 1 (06:36):
Did he dial it back? Does he still do that?
I don't follow him anymore because.

Speaker 3 (06:40):
I'd never followed. I was tracking the game. I knew
that would that was a mistake.

Speaker 1 (06:49):
Hey, I liked it. I liked that first album, man,
I did like it.

Speaker 3 (06:53):
I mostly for updates of the game. Actually see him
getting in fist fights and at Drew League videos. That's
that's the most common time I see the game is
him playing in the Drew League, which I guess he
thinks he's talented enough to keep up with like you know,
fucking Trey Young when he's bored during the summer. I mean,

(07:17):
he's tall, but he's also like thicker than he used
to be, and he ain't moving and I think part
of the reason he's and that heavy heavy penis uh
he has to wear Allen iverson size shorts just to cover.

Speaker 1 (07:33):
Two pairs of compression short song.

Speaker 3 (07:36):
But but he's constantly getting in fistfights at these league
games because somebody sets a pick on him and then
he's like ready to square up.

Speaker 1 (07:47):
Would you if it was offered, would you play? Uh?

Speaker 3 (07:50):
Again, No, because I'm afraid, well you know what I mean,
Like I what I my absolute nightmare is. I'm now
a part of a video where they're like, damn, this
up and coming player just went the fuck off for
sixty eight points and it's nothing but me guarding him
the whole time.

Speaker 1 (08:11):
Yeah, yeah, you don't want I understand, because that's like,
that's tough to come back from. You're gonna have your
wife and kid in there. You don't need that.

Speaker 3 (08:18):
Bro. If he's just saucing on me, and then there's
one video of me like going up for a layup
and he just even watks it out. Yeah, it's like, ah, no, man,
I'm there's too much at steak here.

Speaker 1 (08:32):
I've often thought getting posterized is probably the worst thing
that could ever happen to a person.

Speaker 3 (08:39):
You've never been dumped on?

Speaker 1 (08:41):
No, no, no, no, I never not like, not like
in a major way.

Speaker 3 (08:45):
No good for you. Yeah, I see it in your
eyes that you have. I've been I've seen it all.

Speaker 1 (08:49):
Baby. What is that feeling of?

Speaker 3 (08:53):
Like, what what's the lowest low you know of? What's what?
How what's the depth of your bad decision making?

Speaker 5 (09:02):
Ah?

Speaker 1 (09:04):
I did a set one time with my my zipper
down and you can see my penis for most of.

Speaker 3 (09:09):
It was this that going good was it was it.

Speaker 1 (09:16):
It was an open mic, so it was like one
you know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (09:20):
Oh, so this was like a bad decision stacked on
the worst outcome. Yeah, man, fuck yeah, that's that's what
getting dunked on feels like. I bet, I bet they're
comparable feelings.

Speaker 1 (09:34):
When they dunked on you, was it like did you
feel the nuts on the shoulder? No, it wasn't.

Speaker 3 (09:40):
It wasn't a nuts on shoulder level dunking. I was more.
I was closer to the chest, so I was going
up thinking I had a shot. Oh it, And in
that way it made it worse, you know what I mean,
where it's like, oh, if I could stop this, or
because I've never been able to dunk, but I I'm

(10:01):
a pretty good defender, and so I thought, oh, I
could stop this early before it makes it all the
way up. And that motherfucker was bouncier than me and
somehow had jets in his little feats and and god damn,
just ate me alive.

Speaker 1 (10:15):
I would worry about the sound I would make if
I got dunked on. Well, that's the thing that's so
that would come out of me, like I don't know,
like what did you get dumped on?

Speaker 2 (10:22):
You?

Speaker 3 (10:22):
Like no, Like that's that's my big worry, Like, yeah,
I don't remember what I think. I think it's one
of those hollow sounds that uh that you know after

(10:45):
a bomb, where it's just that that screech, that's that's
probably what I heard after. I don't like what came
out of me. Yeah, and I was playing point guard
and and so another person had to see me get
dunked on, take the ball out and then choose to
pass me the ball. But yeah, no, what kind of

(11:05):
leader am I?

Speaker 1 (11:10):
He's like, I'm bringing it up now.

Speaker 5 (11:12):
Yeah, it's like no, no, no, no, watch how I distribute. Sure,
I got dumped on, but I also know three plays.

Speaker 1 (11:23):
I'm the only true general out here.

Speaker 3 (11:29):
It's like, no, this is I gotta go home. Man,
you gotta take me out.

Speaker 1 (11:32):
Coach. Yeah, that's a tough thing to have happened to you.

Speaker 3 (11:35):
Yeah, it's it's hard. We I don't I think we've
we've introduced ourselves. I don't know that we we've done
any formal work here. I I'm Langston Kerman. And if
you've made it this far, you knew that. And and also, uh,
if you if you didn't know that, what the fuck

(11:56):
is wrong with you? Why would you stick around this long?
What could you possibly affect this place? Cast was gonna
be about with all that kid. We dropped into the
game talk early. Yeah, this isn't even what our show
is about, but we made we made hard fastened choices
right away.

Speaker 1 (12:13):
I'm worried that he's gonna hear it.

Speaker 3 (12:15):
Oh the game. You think he's a listener.

Speaker 1 (12:17):
I think he's dramatic enough to somehow have found it.

Speaker 3 (12:20):
I will say I definitely think the game has Google
alerts for the game.

Speaker 1 (12:25):
Yeah, oh yeah, Olivia, don't put the game in is.

Speaker 3 (12:33):
Let's let's unpack this. Are you? Is your fear of
the game that like that he'll retaliate with violence or
is it? Where where are you in the game?

Speaker 1 (12:42):
I just don't want to be out like a smoothie
king and you know he catches me or some ship.

Speaker 3 (12:48):
Okay, so it's not that he'll hunt you down, but
that like but.

Speaker 1 (12:52):
Sometimes in Los Angeles. I'm in Los Angeles, Yeah, I'm
in game type places, you know, shocks restaurant in LA
maybe on my face, and then it's like then the
game's like, what's that shit? She was talking about my dick?
And then it's like, oh man, he'll probably be with

(13:13):
whack one hundred, And then I for struck, couldn't fight
the game and whack one hundred.

Speaker 3 (13:18):
Damn Okay, I see that. He seems like, yeah, he'd
he'd wait to fight you in a very public place.

Speaker 1 (13:26):
Ye.

Speaker 3 (13:26):
And to your point, he is still a big motherfucker
who picks his opponents wisely.

Speaker 1 (13:32):
I'd have to the only the only thing I could
do is I'd have to either I'd have to hit
him first, because then it's like, you know, the video
of me getting beat up is like, yeah, but he
got him, you know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (13:46):
Now you gotta hit him in those giant fucking nuts.

Speaker 1 (13:51):
I gotta grab a belt loop and jump up and
just give into.

Speaker 3 (13:57):
And let that mouth like a crumble, and and you'll
be a bad guy. The internet would be like, that's corny.
You punched him in the dick. But it's like, nah,
but where else are you gonna punch it?

Speaker 1 (14:06):
The game? Yeah, that's his power source.

Speaker 3 (14:09):
Yeah, and the one thing that he has going for,
which is that that massive prehistoric dick.

Speaker 1 (14:16):
There are there are rappers I think I can fight.
I just don't think the game is one. He's very Yeah.

Speaker 3 (14:21):
Yeah, lil UZI has been beat up enough times that
I feel I feel absolutely confident that I if I.

Speaker 1 (14:27):
Could pick you up. I feel good about it. Yeah,
you know what I'm saying. I like, if I could
just like grab.

Speaker 3 (14:34):
You yeah yeah.

Speaker 1 (14:36):
Or if it's like or if it's like if you're
fit enough for me to like get my arms down
and then like pick up and like bomb that I
feel then I feel okay. But anybody bigger than that, it's.

Speaker 3 (14:47):
Like, yeah, I'm always impressed with uh with NBA fights
because oftentimes the guys are so vastly different in height.
Like the other day, Austin Rivers got in a fight Mobamba.
It was like, hey, he's so much bigger than you
and you you're just riding off of Austin Rivers confidence

(15:07):
to face off and he's a bad fighter.

Speaker 1 (15:09):
He didn't look good at all. I mean, I think
the fighting isn't some skill, right. How many rappers? How
many rapper boxing videos have we seen where you're like, oh,
ship a.

Speaker 3 (15:20):
Chance, Yeah, When then you see Meek Mill practice and
you're like, oh, beat the funk out of me. Look, man,
I get it, you so coked, but I beat your ass.

Speaker 1 (15:40):
Nigga. Man, he is a weird guy that he's.

Speaker 3 (15:48):
A He's a fucking weirdo and not in an affectionate like,
oh what an artist kind of way.

Speaker 1 (15:54):
You know, he's like that weird French fights in the
pool ship Like I don't know what he's like, what
are you doing?

Speaker 3 (16:03):
What's your playing? How'd you get so rich?

Speaker 1 (16:07):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (16:08):
I don't. I think we highly overestimate how much a
lot of rappers make and have, and I think it's
safe to say you are you are doing? Like I've
heard numerous sort of like suggestions that blue faces like broke,
and it's like, yeah, I think I think that's more

(16:30):
rappers are like that than they are not.

Speaker 1 (16:33):
I saw him at La X one time. He definitely
got on the plane and last, and that's like, I
don't know, maybe you don't have status with Southwest you
a lot like get your diamond medallion up, you know
what I mean, I'm platinum baby.

Speaker 3 (16:54):
It's uh, yeah, it feels like to have money, you
at least have status on airlines. And if you don't,
then something has happened. Either you bought this ticket literally
five minutes ago, or or you ain't as rich as
we all presumed.

Speaker 1 (17:12):
Yeah, because he was dressed really nice, but yeah, and
he had a Louis bag. But yeah, got on the
plane last fun.

Speaker 3 (17:18):
Well, we we wish Blue Face the best. You know,
that nice man who there's no other reason to criticize
besides uh his struggling, uh financial situation.

Speaker 1 (17:31):
Hey, bunch down, you know what I mean, Academic City's
gonna buy your house.

Speaker 3 (17:36):
I don't know you're going you're you're doing a lot
and you're going through a lot. So so I hope,
I hope it's all paying off for you, Blue Face.

Speaker 1 (17:44):
It's complicated to be a rapper.

Speaker 3 (17:46):
It's it's very complicated to be a rapper. It's even
more complicated to be uh, I guess a crip rapper.

Speaker 1 (17:53):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (17:54):
Uh. We we have a conspiracy theory that you and
I talked about ahead of time. We were discussing the
possibility of this being a real thing. But the conspiracy
we talked about is my mama told me the NFL

(18:15):
is scripted. Scripted now, yeah, full script now. It's worth
noting this has been sort of a viral conversation on
Twitter for a few days now, but it specifically comes
from an interview with Arian Foster, who went on a

(18:38):
podcast and said exactly this, that the NFL is scripted,
that it's completely made up that in fact, the entire
premise of practicing and and sort of like all the
sort of like preseason fucking like camps and shit, is
just dedicated to these people learning their quote unquote lines

(18:58):
and positions blocked so that they can help the script
come to be.

Speaker 1 (19:03):
I mean, I didn't even think about this until just now.
But here's thing number one. Right, people go to practices.
Yeah no, wait, but there's children there. There's all kinds
of people.

Speaker 3 (19:18):
And in fact, the NFL, I think, is the only
sport that does that where you're like, yeah, come watch
us practice, you can.

Speaker 1 (19:25):
Watch the whole thing. We'll sign some balls. It's a
good time for the kids. So that's already stupid.

Speaker 3 (19:32):
Yeah, no, it doesn't make any sense.

Speaker 1 (19:34):
That Bro's an idiot.

Speaker 3 (19:39):
They make the practice facilities like fucking like hubs in
the cities and shit, like, yeah, you gotta go down
to the fucking to this spot so that you can
watch Tom Brady stretch.

Speaker 1 (19:51):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, shout out to dub Valley in Denver.
It's it's major. Yes, that's the one thing. Also, I
because I do think that there is I do think
that there is a case for this idea.

Speaker 3 (20:05):
I think that he's lying. Whoa say more.

Speaker 1 (20:10):
I think that if you were going to script the
entire NFL, you would not need Arian Foster's input. Like
people's lives are just gonna have drama that plays out them,
plays out in them anyways, right, Like so I think
it's like you gotta talk to Tom Brady, you know what

(20:33):
I mean, You gotta talk to the Malmes, You gotta
talk to everybody in Philly. But like, do you have
to talk to I don't think. I don't think it
would be that the rookies don't know about that ship.

Speaker 3 (20:43):
You know you're saying, you're saying, if your impact is
not substantial enough, you don't need a script. You just
need to uh to show up and let the true
script script ease handle their business.

Speaker 1 (20:56):
Yeah, of course. It's like it's like with like it's
like with it's like with basketball, where it's like yeah,
point shaving. It's not like it's never a whole team.
It's just like two guys.

Speaker 3 (21:06):
Right, and they just have to have enough impact on
their own to make the shit happen.

Speaker 1 (21:13):
They don't.

Speaker 3 (21:13):
Everything else is is whatever.

Speaker 1 (21:16):
Cause he's like also like because then he's like, yeah,
the script writers so then how big is this? Is
this a sag after gig or you know what I'm saying,
you're talking directly with the writers. You for six eight
forty you were talking directly.

Speaker 3 (21:32):
Writers, And that's That's also something that felt a little
challenging for me in this this whole thing is that like, look,
I've been in writers rooms where like the star decides
to pop in, they never help, do you know what
I mean? Like it truly makes shit way worse when
the person who's famous wants they go, well, I don't

(21:55):
know what if I like jump over the nigga and
uh yeah, and don't don't the full ball through the
goal post. And it's like, hey, dog, that's not we
ain't even that's not what we're doing here. We're just
trying to get the third down, big dog.

Speaker 1 (22:07):
We don't. I wrote I wrote for an award show
with with the famous host who was a quarterback, and
he just wanted to make fun of Danica Patrick the
whole time in a way where it helped personal. Like
he'd leaves and then we'd like it'd be after lunch,
you'd come in and he'd be like, so I'm thinking
about this, Danni Ka Patrick situation.

Speaker 3 (22:28):
They're like, what, well, no nobody wants to talk about
danic Ka, Patrick big Man.

Speaker 1 (22:34):
Yeah. No, famous people haven't come in with good ideas.
I get it because you you know, your feelings are
hurt because you're not in the league anymore.

Speaker 3 (22:42):
I understood, Yeah, you're building these personal vendettas that would
have been resolved if you could still just like focus
on a game ahead of you. But now it's like, no,
I will I will make Danica Patrick my super Bowl.

Speaker 1 (22:58):
Yeah, because like, oh so, what was he trying to like,
what was he trying to accomplish with it? Like, I
also have the idea. I don't like the idea that
if the NFL has always been scripted, you were the
first one in this whole once in Super Bowl fifty
four or some shit, you were the first one to
ever drop this knowledge.

Speaker 3 (23:18):
Yeah that's that's uh. And we've talked about this a
few times on the podcast. I think that's always the
challenge with conspiracy theories, especially ones of this scale, is
like it would require a level of like complicit silence
on the part of a lot of people who have
been fucked over by this league. Frankly, back half times

(23:41):
that like you. For them not to have said anything
would be crazy. For Colin Kaepernick to not have come
up and been like, hey, it's scripted, by the way
at this point, would be impossible.

Speaker 1 (23:55):
What about major injuries? What about old boy? You think
he started the season? They're like, you're gonna die on
the field.

Speaker 3 (24:02):
That will bring you back?

Speaker 1 (24:04):
You were back though, but like that's in, that's a
new contract. Like what are you talking.

Speaker 3 (24:08):
About, and you'll never play again by the Yeah, this
is you're from the game of football for what like is.

Speaker 1 (24:17):
Now how you said basketball, I'd have been like, of
course the NBA. Everybody knows that.

Speaker 3 (24:24):
So the NBA that makes perfect sense. Well, I I
will say that that we need to take a break.
We have a break coming up. But I'm excited to
find out exactly all of your thoughts on the NBA
rigging and or more on the NFL scripting. We're gonna
take a break. It'll be back with more likes, the more,

(24:46):
David and more. My mama told me.

Speaker 2 (24:50):
Yeah, b yeah, we are back discussing whether or not
professional sports is rigged.

Speaker 1 (25:06):
Football I think we've debunked. But I will say basketball it's.

Speaker 3 (25:09):
Always I tell me more because because I love because
we're not just talking rigged, rigged, you're saying that that
basketball is scripted, level rigged.

Speaker 1 (25:20):
I think it's I think it's rigged. I think it's
there are the teams who are supposed to do what
they do. I think that there's often marketing campaigns around
those things. You know what I mean? You remember Little
Penny saying, Kobe Lebron, Kobe Lebron, Like, what am I
supposed to think about that? There's clearly like there's clearly

(25:42):
like especially David Stern like, I I just feel like
if there's not if the if it's not rigged, there
are ways that they would like it to work out
that they do their best. Yeah to specifically two thousand
and nine, the West Conference Finals. They weren't ready for,

(26:03):
you know, a team of unsung heroes Denver Nuggets. They
weren't ready for that. They weren't ready for a tiny
man like Earl boykends off the bench with the ring.
They can't have that. They can't have that. Kenyan Martin
was a menace. He had lipstick tattooed on his neck.
They couldn't have that. So they had to give it
to who Kobe because that was all calls.

Speaker 3 (26:25):
I I feel like everybody has a Kobe example of
the rigging that hurt them the most, mine personally being
the Sacramento Kings of whatever the fuck year that was.
But that early two thousand Sacramento Kings with Chris Coover
and Doug Christie and all them, and I was like,
this is this is the greatest team ever? Simple and

(26:48):
they were. They were they were torn asunder by Robert Orry.

Speaker 1 (26:52):
You know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (26:53):
It's ship like that. Doesn't it make sense?

Speaker 1 (26:55):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (26:56):
I definitely am am a hurt man as you are are.
We actually talked about this exact subject, or at least
a version of this subject with Tone Bell last may
I want to say if I'm remembering correct, and Tone
believed that the NFL and NBA were rigged, and we

(27:17):
talked specifically. In the research sort of found that a
lot of what people suggest is is that it's not
so much scripted in the way that Arian Foster is suggesting,
but these leagues do have biases in wanting certain stories
to be able to happen. So it's not so much
them giving a fuck if one team wins a championship

(27:41):
or not, but they do give a fuck whether or
not like that that hero's tale happens from beginning to end.

Speaker 1 (27:49):
Yeah, and I think that they I think that there's
you know, there's obviously only so much impact that you
can have. Like that's why I feel like it's not scripted,
because every now and then you'll see a guy go rogue,
saying like like Westbrook on that one, that was like
he wasn't supposed to do that.

Speaker 3 (28:07):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Lynsanity is a do going rogue.

Speaker 1 (28:11):
Cohen rogue that was not supposed to That was not
supposed to happen at all at all at all.

Speaker 3 (28:17):
So it's like and they marketed it, they went like,
oh fuck, we can make a bunch of money off
of this, so they bought into it very quickly. But no,
that wasn't like they whoever Adam Silver didn't start there.
I think it was still David stern In. But but
whoever was in charge at the point didn't go like
and this year, we're gonna have an Asian dude, No,

(28:39):
the greatest player on the planet for for four weeks.

Speaker 1 (28:42):
I mean, it sounds insane what you're saying. Yeah, no,
like nobody could have seen that.

Speaker 3 (28:51):
He'll be six five and uh and and petit and
we're gonna make him the literal greatest player on the
planet for a month, and then somehow it never comes back.
He'll never have even a moment the one he had
so strange.

Speaker 1 (29:07):
It's also like, and I mean, I go back to
my team, like I have for years felt that the Nuggets,
despite themselves, were just always supposed to be a second
class team. You think you think the NBA was ready
for Jokic Nikola Joki is an MVP. I love him
right ugly it's basketball like, it's all ugly until the

(29:31):
pass is caught goes in.

Speaker 3 (29:34):
The passes are phenomenal in that it looks like he
drops the ball every time, like he's fucking up, and
then it ends up being the most amazing pass that
you could have imagined.

Speaker 1 (29:46):
He plays like mister magoo, you know what like he
plays He plays basketball like mister McGoo walking through a
fucking conception.

Speaker 3 (29:56):
And all his manisms are are super fucking European.

Speaker 1 (30:00):
Oh not so tired all the time.

Speaker 3 (30:02):
Yeah, and he's rubbing his head weird and shit, and
you're like, I'm not sure this man should be allowed
on this court. I don't think he's I think they're
gonna bully him, but then he's like, now watch this.

Speaker 1 (30:13):
Yeah, come to find out you know what it is.
It's like, did you see that new Eddie Murphy movie?

Speaker 3 (30:19):
You people?

Speaker 1 (30:20):
Yeah? Yeah, shots?

Speaker 3 (30:22):
Everybody shut you know, Sam jay Is went crazy, But yes,
you people.

Speaker 1 (30:28):
But when Jodah Hill played basketball and you're like, there's
no way, and then even looking at it, it looked bad.
But the shots got knocked down. That's yeah.

Speaker 3 (30:39):
It was very garbage basketball and it was clearly written
with the intention of a better basketball player having having
played this part they wanted. You know, Harrolson, you.

Speaker 1 (30:50):
Don't think he would have wrote that. I bet he
wrote that for himself.

Speaker 3 (30:53):
I would I think he did write it for himself.
But I think that's ego, baby. I don't think that
that's I don't think that he was like, basketball is
my best sport. I think he was like, what's black
that I can do? I fake basketball?

Speaker 1 (31:07):
Wait till I do a reverse. Guess who's coming to
dinner and it's just going to be me hitting home
runs on these bitch ass white boys. I'm gonna go
to the park and just have chewing tobacco and just yeah,
do white people play pick up baseball? I don't.

Speaker 3 (31:22):
I don't think so. I think that's of the fifties
when stickball existed, and.

Speaker 1 (31:27):
Now, yeah, it feels like it would be more of
a Dominican thing.

Speaker 3 (31:30):
Yeah, they have, they have record like, they have very
sort of like leagues. They have sort of like real games,
but they don't just like hit the driveway and practice
baseball and shit. No, I don't think so, not anymore.
Maybe they do, I mean with kids obviously, but not
grown men sitting and being like, hey, let's go. They

(31:51):
play softball though, I think they play softball. Okay, I
think some boys will get together and throw a big
old softball at each other.

Speaker 1 (32:03):
But yeah, to all that, I say that, Yeah, I
think the NBA is rigged. I don't think the NFL
is also too many variables right right, It's like it's
or no, the NFL is not enough variables, meaning meaning
that I think the longer, the longer the season, the
more games and stuff like that. Or oh, I guess

(32:24):
that would be easier to write because there's not that many.

Speaker 3 (32:26):
Games, right, yeah, I mean sixteen games per team, that
that you hire a writing staff for each team and.

Speaker 1 (32:33):
What do you think the writing staff's like ten, Yeah, yeah,
it's gotta be.

Speaker 3 (32:37):
It's gotta be a big room, I think, because fifty.

Speaker 1 (32:40):
Two players and coaches have coaches also have their own
dramas and shit going on.

Speaker 3 (32:45):
Yeah, and you have to really like be you have
to be thinking for enough positions and like strategizing with
the the other teams as well. Like it, there has
to be cross pollination. You can't just write your side
of the ball, right, I mean right, so it it
feels like a pretty massive undertaking that that doesn't even

(33:06):
seem possible.

Speaker 1 (33:07):
Frankly, Yeah, I don't believe it.

Speaker 3 (33:11):
Because football is more possessions than it is even fucking
like minutes.

Speaker 1 (33:16):
Yeah, exactly, exactly. Just the pace of the game. It's
really hard to dictate too, Yeah, like yeah, yeah, I
just don't and and I just don't. Football still has upsets.
I feel like in my lifetime of sports, I've seen
more major upsets in football than I have in basketball. Right,

(33:39):
Basketball usually who you think is gonna win wins. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (33:44):
There, you know, it's a much harder thing to have
a major upset in basketball. But some of that also
is that football is one and done and so it's like, yeah,
if these dudes, you know what I mean, it's one
and done and it's really about smash into each other.
So like, if I just show up with the wrong
energy for for getting smashed, I'm I'm gonna lose and

(34:08):
I can't do nothing about it kind of thing, right right,
Whereas like basketball, if I you know, if I got
drunk the night before and have a bad game, I
get like six more chances to fix.

Speaker 1 (34:19):
I mean, they said Alan Irison did it all the time. Yeah, yeah,
I still I still love his nuggets heres though I
wouldn't take back a single minute.

Speaker 3 (34:30):
Really because they didn't do anything for you.

Speaker 1 (34:32):
Guys, I take that back. It was just cool that
he was here, but it was also like you could
tell he wasn't like here, you know what I'm saying, Like, no,
he was.

Speaker 3 (34:42):
His heart had moved on from the NBA by that.

Speaker 1 (34:45):
Point, and nobody ever hangs out here when they're pro
like are pro like mellow. It was like he was
gone whenever he could be like people aren't just like.

Speaker 3 (34:54):
And it was the wrong group of guys to surround
him with if you needed him to like buy into
a a system and or even like the premise of
playing yeah all the way.

Speaker 1 (35:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (35:06):
It was like fucking j R. Smith and and Kenyan
Martin and Carmelo Anthony and it's like, yeah, well of
course he's not gonna pay attention.

Speaker 1 (35:14):
No, no, no no, and they're all everybody was on
their way out kind of. So it was like a
team that you could feel. Listen, that's not the point.

Speaker 3 (35:23):
It wasn't George Carl your coach by.

Speaker 1 (35:25):
Then, Yes, George Carl was our coach.

Speaker 3 (35:28):
And what a deeply racist man that is. Nobody was
feeling encouraged and or motivated by George Carl.

Speaker 1 (35:36):
I mean, George Carl looks racist.

Speaker 3 (35:38):
Yeah, and he proves it.

Speaker 1 (35:40):
Boy, he's got that. He's got that face with like
no lips like that, Like no, the smaller the lips,
the more I think you're gonna say it.

Speaker 3 (35:50):
Yeah, And for a while he had like no hair
on top and like long in the back, and it's like, oh,
you're a wild guy, George Carl.

Speaker 1 (35:58):
You hate that because that's starts with the Cave. These
are all.

Speaker 3 (36:03):
Well, I think there are some last names of the
Cave that are pretty cool and.

Speaker 1 (36:06):
Well, yeah, you're black, though I know I'm not saying you.

Speaker 3 (36:10):
Half my family ain't. And are they racist, all of them?
Some of them are, They don't. None of it is
rooted in as much a hatred but a fear if
if it.

Speaker 1 (36:22):
Is, yeah, I think I have some in my family.
It's more hatred based. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (36:30):
Ours was just I ain't never been around that, and
that scares me. So I'm gonna, I'm gonna, you know,
do what Hihuahua's doing and yap and nip kind of ship.

Speaker 1 (36:40):
I was just like, why is he following me in
the grocery store?

Speaker 3 (36:44):
Yeah, It's like he's not. This is just a groceries.

Speaker 1 (36:49):
Everybody in there.

Speaker 3 (37:01):
So in the in the the research that I did
for the tone Bell of it All, and I'm glad
you brought up the NBA because there are a few
specific examples that people point to when they talk about
like sort of these hero stories getting out of hand
or at least becoming a little too pointed for us
to be able to deny some of the the fucking,

(37:23):
you know, the writing as it were. One of the
examples they bring up is the two thousand and five
New Orleans Hornets, where they they go from basically being
one of the worst teams in the league to then
like having like this historic rise and part of it
is sort of like wanting to link it with the
narrative of Katrina and the city coming back to life

(37:46):
so that you can rebuild finances.

Speaker 1 (37:49):
New Orleans.

Speaker 3 (37:51):
Yeah, New Orleans needed it for both their their own
personal like emotional well being, but also literally they needed
the win to be able to like restore this fucked
up sort of like situation.

Speaker 1 (38:04):
But I don't know if I can go with that
because where were the Knicks or like sometimes like what
you do it for New Orleans but not for New
York City.

Speaker 3 (38:22):
Yeah, No, that's that's a good point. They that two
thousand and one team didn't do anything to.

Speaker 1 (38:27):
Be I don't even know who was in there.

Speaker 3 (38:29):
I couldn't tell you. I might, I don't know. Alan
Houston probably was still Let's look up two thousand and
one New York Knicks. We need to see. Yeah, they
did not rally. No, was there a team that that?
Uh they were still coached by Jeff Van Gundy. Let's

(38:52):
let's start there. I love deeply it was. Yeah, Okay,
Marcus Canby, we're talking to Alan Houston. Mark Jackson was
still playing basketball at the time. You've got Travis Knight,
You've got Latrelle Spreewell, Kirk Thomas, the oldest looking man

(39:12):
that ever was, and Charlie Ward. Those were the highlights
of that year. And I believe that was second Olivia
saying it is the second most looked up question about
the Knicks. Have the Knicks ever been good?

Speaker 1 (39:29):
No? No, I don't not.

Speaker 3 (39:32):
They had that one year with essentially this same roster,
and I can't remember what year it was where they
were the eighth seed of the playoffs and then ended
up going to the finals that it was essentially that
same group. I feel like that was like two thousand,
maybe like ninety.

Speaker 1 (39:51):
Nine, Okay, that could be right.

Speaker 3 (39:55):
Yeah, it was nineteen ninety nine that the Knicks went
to the finals with the actually that same group, but
Patrick Ewing was still on.

Speaker 1 (40:03):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. Damn poor Nicks. Yeah, I'll tell
you what. That ship has never been scripted because they
are terrible.

Speaker 3 (40:11):
Yeah, no, they and boy are there are a lot
of people invested in their success and.

Speaker 1 (40:15):
I know, and every other team has like done it.
Every other team in the league has gone from rags
to riches. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (40:23):
Once the Bengals, once they they sort of figured it out.
It was like, oh, no, you like Bengals a fucking
uh who Joe Burrows ship. Oh yes, the Bengals. Yeah, Bengals.

Speaker 1 (40:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (40:36):
It's like no, they they give people a shot every once. Yeah,
but no, man, And I mean Cleveland. Cleveland was like
a joke when we were growing up. So I guess
I'm split on this now the further we go into it,
I'm like, maybe it's like, I think that I think
that you're right. I think that idea of like there

(40:58):
are certain narratives that are there trying to push for
money and shit like that. I think that that is true.
And I think ultimately you can do you can't have
a lot of sway in it, but at the end
of the day, it's still hooping. Yeah, I do think
like I think, for example, the league desperately wanted Lebron

(41:18):
to get a championship for the Cavaliers, right. I think
that that that would that meant the world to everybody
in charge, everybody that had financial investment in this this
fucking system. I don't think they have the ability to
like fully get him the championship, but I do think

(41:39):
they capitalize on a bunch of choices that are already
being made by these guys. So when when fucking Draymond
Green is being a dick and swinging his foot and
kicking and ship, they go, well, yeah, suspend him. Yeah,
We're we want them to win. Yeah, we don't want
to spend that dude. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, We're not

(42:01):
gonna fucking you know what I mean, like we're gonna
take advantage of him being an idiot. We're we want
them to win.

Speaker 1 (42:08):
Yeah. I think that's definitely the case. I think that's
I think that is definitely the case. Yeah, it's football football.
I would argue.

Speaker 3 (42:18):
It's it's similar shit where they're like, hey, we we
would love for there's no reason for forty six, forty
five year old Tom Brady to be as great as
he was. I mean, he obviously is a great player,
and it's not to take anything away from him, but
like that Buccaneers championship didn't feel like a fucking like

(42:41):
hey man, it was.

Speaker 1 (42:43):
The same with Peyton and the Broncos championship, Like it
was like they love that redemption quarterback story, Like my
team cast me aside, yeah back, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (42:53):
But I think they had to want that for him
as much as he wanted it for for himself. So
he puts in the work, he becomes this phenomenal player,
and then the league goes, hey, man, if there's any
moments where it's between Brady and this other quarterback, it's
always Brady.

Speaker 1 (43:13):
It's always Brady. Yeah, Yeah, I think that's fair. Damn,
I think we cracked it.

Speaker 3 (43:19):
Yeah No, I think I think we've covered this pretty well.

Speaker 1 (43:23):
I don't.

Speaker 3 (43:23):
I don't know that we we've landed any proof of
of this being scripted, but it sounds like we're in
agreement that some sort of mischief is happening in the background.

Speaker 1 (43:35):
For sure, And there's always to your own research, brother,
Like there's your two rabbit holes you can go down.

Speaker 3 (43:44):
Yeah, if that's if you want scripting to be real,
you can fully Yeah, you can find it out there.
The other day, I was watching a video where they
were saying that the the the NBA is a simulation,
that that it was completely simulated, and part of the
argument they were making was a bunch of clips where

(44:07):
you see players doing identical things at the exact same time.
That there are like glitches where you can watch like
three players on one team all.

Speaker 1 (44:16):
Oh I've seen Yeah, I've seen that kind of thing.
But then that means that goes back to like that,
then that means they're all computers, all the players. Yeah,
and like that, I've met argument, I've met basketball players
in real life.

Speaker 3 (44:32):
Yeah, I don't know that. They're saying, like the individuals
are computers out there as much as we are all
living in a computer and the NBA's glitches are evidence
of this whole thing being a rooss.

Speaker 1 (44:49):
You ever feel like that movie The Matrix really did
a little too much debt, more damage than it did good.

Speaker 3 (44:54):
Yeah, no, it especially I would say for white people
not to not to make this an entirely racial thing.
But but white boys have bought into the premise of the
simulation I think more than any other group.

Speaker 1 (45:07):
Yo, love it, they love it. That shit comes up
so much and it's like, I don't know, have you
watched that movie. It's not that smart, Like you know
what I mean.

Speaker 3 (45:19):
I think the premise is really really smart. Yeah, the premise,
and then you watch what they do to prove the
premise and then to like tell the story, and you're like,
I guess pay phones, all right, that's how I get
in and out of the matrix.

Speaker 1 (45:33):
I okay, don't.

Speaker 3 (45:38):
I don't know, man, Yeah, it's like, I don't.

Speaker 1 (45:41):
I think. I think some of this is just I
think you were just writing ship. The third movie is nonsense,
that's dog. Did you see the new one? No? I
didn't see the new one because I can't.

Speaker 3 (45:53):
The new one almost feels like that we might have
been tricked by like some special needs people, oh like
with Lost, Yeah, like that. This whole thing was like, oh,
you didn't know what you were doing at all, and
it was truly just like some weird monkey typewriter shit
that got you three four movies.

Speaker 1 (46:13):
I mean, haven't seen how Hollywood works. That makes sense
to me. That's what we should talk about, is Hollywood
rigs next time. Yeah, Hollywood.

Speaker 3 (46:21):
I actually would love to talk about this, because boy,
do I believe that that this.

Speaker 1 (46:27):
No questions, no questions is made up as hell?

Speaker 2 (46:30):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (46:30):
I don't think none of this is real. And yeah,
honestly we should unpack that. We'll maybe do that for
one of our upcoming episodes is the rigging of Hollywood.

Speaker 1 (46:40):
Can't wait because I got some wild swings, all right, Well,
we got to get to that.

Speaker 3 (46:47):
That's exciting and more importantly, if you want to send
us your own conspiracy theories, your own drops, if you
want to accused Arian Foster of greater crimes than we
are able to, please please send those theories to my
mama pod at gmail dot com. We would love to
hear from you and give us a call a four
four Little moms, A four four little moms. We want

(47:10):
to hear from you, like subscribe, rate review YouTube dot
com is where we also have plenty of places for
you to see us. And and that's the whole shebang. Okay,
I did all the bureaucratic ship, bye, bitch.

Speaker 1 (47:29):
Just's got to come outside. Chips and your Kala bears
are racist. The hosting money turkey stuff, I can't tell

(47:54):
me
