I know he just said that he's going into the

March something Mark first. Maybe that is his last chance
to kind of I kind of mean it in wrestle Menia.

How did you come up with you? And did you
ever expect it to take off the way it has?

If you if you look at like old promos or whatever,
like you'll hear them. You know.

Speaker 6 (07:08):
It's also a West It's also it's also a West
Coast slang, right, and it's been a slang before geek
with the with the means like I'm a little older
than then, you know. The the little homies are like, oh,
that's just that's that's a meme, a catchphrase where you
know you yeating people. But it's it's been it's been there,

the Prince conference if you want your press conference, like
you know, if you watch, you know, and then I
had Cody saying ye, and then it just took off, man,
Like I think that was a turning point.

Speaker 3 (08:10):

Let me ask you this. When you started your solo
journey and you had to realize that, you know what,
I'm not going to be rather performing with my brother anymore,
were you conflicted? Because obviously you want you you know,
you want to be successful. You want your brother to
be successful, and you want to do everything that you
possibly care to potentially bring him along, but you're gonna
have to go this thing alone.

Speaker 5 (10:56):

How did that make you feel uncomfortable?

Speaker 3 (11:01):
For sure? You know?

Speaker 6 (11:02):
And and it wasn't even it wasn't even the like
the work part. The What what got me though, is
I separated from my brother. You know, I'm used to
being I'm used to driving these four hour drives.

Speaker 3 (11:15):
Every night after a show.

Speaker 6 (11:16):
I'm used to I'm used to like, you know, pushing
up with my brother on the plane.

being on the road. Yeah. If you could go back
in time right and give your younger self advice before
starting w W, what would you.

to go do it. If we don't do it, it's

(12:26):

so at peace that you got your son and he
gets to experience this with.

Speaker 3 (13:17):
You, yes, sir, like he's been, he's been.

Speaker 5 (13:20):

Uh back to this, Luca donge Uh.

Speaker 5 (18:53):
Luca released a statement seven years ago.

Speaker 2 (18:55):
I came here as a team thatger to pursue my
dream of playing basketball at the highest lit up. I
thought I'd spend my career here and wanted so BADID
to bring you a championship. The love and support you've
given me is more than I could ever dream of
for a young kid from Slovenia coming to the US
for the first time. You made North Texas feel like
home in good times and bad. From injuries the NBA Finals,

(19:17):
your support never changed. Thank you for not only sharing
my joy, our best moments, but also lifting me up
when I needed it most. To all the organization I
worked with throughout the Dallas community, thank you for letting
me contribute to your important work. Join you in bringing
light to those who would need who need it. As
I start the next part of my basketball journey, I'm

(19:38):
leaving a city that will always feel like home away
from home. Dallas is a special place, and Math fans
are special fans.

Speaker 5 (19:47):
Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Luca seven
to seven.

Speaker 3 (19:51):
I like it.

Speaker 5 (19:53):
I like it. I like it.

Speaker 8 (19:54):
He's remaining very, very, very very professional. Obviously, you don't
have a choice at this point. You know, whatever issues
were going on behind the scenes, it had to be
agreed to. It had to be something so bad for
them to trade someone of that magnitude, that is that great.
They were just in the the finals last year, NBA Finals.
It was just in the NBA finals last year. What

(20:16):
are the average?

Speaker 5 (20:17):
What did the average? Again?

Speaker 3 (20:18):
If I'm not mistaken, you know the numbers better than
I do. Well.

Speaker 2 (20:20):
He averaged He averaged like thirty four to nine and
nine in the regular season.

Speaker 3 (20:27):
That's crazy work.

Speaker 8 (20:30):
Thirty four nine to nine the regular SA you take
your team to the NBA Finals the following the season,
they trade you.

Speaker 2 (20:36):
Yeah, and not that you asked, not that you asked
to be traded.

Speaker 5 (20:41):
O Jo people a dog and Nico up.

Speaker 2 (20:46):
Luca became the first player to lead the playoffs in points, rebounds, assists,
and steals last season.

Speaker 8 (20:53):
That's crazy, man, That's what I came out. Hey, it
might have some it, Mike. You know what, I don't
want to say nothing because I don't want to be rude.

Speaker 5 (21:05):
It.

Speaker 2 (21:05):
Listen, and this is what I told Jamal, and y'all
heard it. In order for you to trade a player
like this and his prime given him the accolades five times,
he'd been a first team All Pro in his first
six seasons, the behavior, the attitude had to be so egregious,

(21:28):
say we're done with it. There's no getting through to it.
And I believe what Jack was saying is that the coaches.
I believe they've tried. I don't believe it's a lack
of effort that they tried. But you gotta want it
as bad as I want it for you, because if
I want something more than you want it for yourself,
you're gonna win out because it's you. You know what,

(21:49):
you want, you know what you have to do because
guess what he wanted to be an NBA player. Ain't
nobody had to take him to those practices. Ain't nobody
had to do what they had to do. He did
that because that's what he wanted. If and when Luca
wants to get in shape, if and when Luca wants
to take his condition serious, if and when Luca want
to eat, right, that's what he's gonna do. That's what

(22:11):
he's gonna do. It's just like anything. When a person
makes up their mind, they gotta they got an addiction
to something. When that person makes up their mind. See,
we create our demons, only we can chase them away.

Speaker 3 (22:24):
M hmm.

Speaker 2 (22:25):
If and when he wants that to be an afterthought?
Cor right now, how do you want it to be?
You want to do? You want it to be your story?
Or you wanted to be a footnote because you get
to determine.

Speaker 3 (22:38):
Wait a minute, but you think he's slick? Now, hold on, man,
hold on, hold on, I got to use that. I
gotta use that. I'm gonna lose that.

Speaker 2 (22:47):
I get private. Example, you Yoki, Yoki put up those numbers.
But Yogi said I was fat I was about to
say it, so I stopped drinking soda. I cut back
on sodas drop weight. Now you're the three time league MVP.
Shape is gonna cut if right now it's him and
Shae Gil just Shaye. I would give shall a slight lea.
His team is better. He's putting up phenomenal numbers. But
go look at Yoki's numbers and look at what he

(23:10):
does on a nightly basis.

Speaker 3 (23:13):
I need you to listen.

Speaker 8 (23:13):
I know, I know you're not a record player, but
I need to rewind that footnote quote again.

Speaker 3 (23:18):
Now that that was a good one.

Speaker 2 (23:19):
Now can you Yeah, you want that to be you
want that to be your story or you wanted to
be a footnote in your story? Because the thing the
thing about like it's our career. We get to write it.
We got the pin. You get to write to OO story.
I get to write to shell a sharp story.

Speaker 3 (23:38):
Mmm. But that was a good one, ever, boy, Like.

Speaker 2 (23:44):
I said there, you know, everybody knows how I feel
about Luca. Luca my guy. I gave him the name
baby bird. He's like I said that. I say, when
Lebron leaves, he's gonna probably be my favorite player. No,
question about it, because my favorite player was Ladd Bird.
He's the closest thing for that type of player that
I've seen the Birds, and I just like I said,

(24:05):
like Jack said, o Jo, he lost himself for now.
He was eligible to get three forty five. Now the
max he can get his two twenty nine.

Speaker 8 (24:12):
I mean real, you gotta think about it. Huh listen,
what can you give her three forty five? You can't
give her to twenty nine?

Speaker 2 (24:21):
I want that, I want that. I want all that. Oh,
y'all want all that? Uh oh? Thinking about o Jo,
this dude was in line to get seventy million a year. Yeah,
and in five years Luca would have been thirty. He'd
have been eligible to get four hundred. Another one. That's crazy,

(24:46):
maybe more that's crazy.

Speaker 8 (24:50):
But this might be a wake up call though sometimes
I hope so sometimes it takes something like this.

Speaker 3 (24:55):
Sometimes it takes something like this.

Speaker 8 (24:57):
I wouldn't say humble you maybe maybe maybe humble might
be the right word, because we don't know what's going on.

Speaker 5 (25:01):
Behind the scenes.

Speaker 8 (25:02):
Obviously you're not being humble if they're willing to trade
you at twenty five with the type of production you put. Now,
this might be a humble the moment, and I hope
it pisses him off, because yeah, you might get a
different Luca. You know, a piste off Luca might be
worse than the Luca out of chilling, drinking beer, you know.

Speaker 2 (25:19):
Playing around man, the man had a sixty point The
man had a sixty point twenty rebound triple double. Man,
stop playing the dude is but see, oh yo, when
you in the profession, I keep telling people, but they
tell me I don't know what I'm talking about. Y'all
will listen now. People will tolerate you until they can

(25:41):
replace you. It can be sports, it can be in
a relationship. Treat your significant other like crap and let
them run across a person better, treat them better. You gone, yeah, oh,
let me do as long as I'm doing my job.

Speaker 5 (25:59):
That's not the way it works.

Speaker 3 (26:01):
Now.

Speaker 5 (26:01):
If you want to beat however you want to be.

Speaker 2 (26:03):
Create your own company, and you create a dress code,
you create coming to work doing however you want to be.

Speaker 3 (26:10):
As long as you.

Speaker 2 (26:11):
Punch that clock for somebody else literally figuratively, you got
to do.

Speaker 3 (26:15):
It any way.

Speaker 5 (26:15):
The other way around.

Speaker 2 (26:16):
It ain't no other way around. It ain't no way
to run it. Y'all get mad all you want to,
but I'm just telling you the facts. And people that
don't understand that, you have to ask yourself, why don't
they understand it?

Speaker 5 (26:32):
Why don't they get it?

Speaker 2 (26:35):
Twenty five five times first team All NBA and they said, nah,
were good. Normally guys at that age when they get traded,
they requested a trade, They requested it.

Speaker 5 (26:52):
He didn't request it. He didn't know anything about it.

Speaker 2 (26:58):
My inteler perked up with Rick Carlile wouldn't sign an extension.
Do you know, normally coaches get fired. Doug Collins got fired.
I'm trying to think who's his first coach? Who's Doug
Collins first?

Speaker 3 (27:11):
Was it rap three?

Speaker 2 (27:13):
Who's a Michael George first coach? But normally, if you
get a guy like that, you don't not sign an extension.

(27:34):
You don't resign. They fire you because you're not getting
the job done. You don't walk away because you know
how hard it is to get a guy like that.

Speaker 8 (27:46):
Kevin who Lorry, Yeah, and the writing must have been
on the wall, mister Carlyle. Mister Carlyle saw it, you know,
and he didn't want to deal with I mean, as
a coach.

Speaker 3 (27:57):
How does that really affect you? If you have a player, when.

Speaker 8 (28:00):
You understand what you're doing, what he's doing on the court,
how could you still not want to be there because
of that?

Speaker 2 (28:08):
They're gonna it's uh, that's only look. I hope he
gets it. I hope he figures it out. O yo.

Speaker 5 (28:23):
Yeah, because the talent is there, there's no undenying it.

Speaker 3 (28:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (28:27):
But O yo, I mean, because here's the thing, O Joe.

Speaker 2 (28:30):
If you exhibit this and you're making thirty five million,
what you're gonna do when I give.

Speaker 8 (28:37):
You seventy and you know what happened when you give
when you get somebody more money, you know what.

Speaker 5 (28:44):
Happens mm hm. And so they just like, I'm surprised
they didn't know.

Speaker 2 (28:56):
But I think the thing is Niko like he had
a relationship with Rob Polinka, as you heard. I think
that was either Jack or Jamal said. Rob Polinka was
Kobe's agent. Ico Nico Harrison used to work for Nike.
So there's a relationship. This didn't get out. See if
you open it up, the other teams thought, Joe, it's
gonna get out. The report sour Luca is being shocked.

(29:19):
Reports are a d is being shocked.

Speaker 3 (29:23):
You see.

Speaker 2 (29:23):
Now, that's why I'm glad this happened like this. Now,
y'all see when they start reporting stuff, they ain't making
it up.

Speaker 5 (29:32):
So y'all quick though media made it up.

Speaker 2 (29:34):
You see how it didn't get out because ain't nobody
wanted it out?

Speaker 8 (29:37):
Yeah, but do you know why it didn't get out
because there were only two teams involved, the Dallas, the
Dallas Mavericks and.

Speaker 5 (29:44):
That Los Angeles Lakers, and nobody wanted it out.

Speaker 8 (29:47):
Yeah, oh yeah, absolutely, Because I guarantee you if they
kept between two people, miss Nico and missus Nico and Polenka,
I bet nobody else knew about it.

Speaker 2 (29:56):
No, it's reported that Mark Cwban didn't know about it.
It's reported that uh uh uh uh, Jason Kidd didn't
know about it. The David didn't know about it. I said,
Paul didn't know about it. Lebron didn't know about it.

Speaker 8 (30:09):
That's why it didn't get out because they kid kept
between two people, the two people to have the power
to get the job done.

Speaker 2 (30:18):
It's kind of a blessing because he's like, you know what,
we want to move him, but a at least move
him to La because everybody's open up the conference. Everybody
opened up.

Speaker 3 (30:35):
What you want.

Speaker 5 (30:38):
Give us a D in the first round? Pick and
Max Christy that's it.

Speaker 2 (30:44):
Okay, okay, bet.

Speaker 5 (30:50):
Bet.

Speaker 2 (30:52):
But hopefully Luca Guesses can get conditioned, gets his heating
and eating habits under control, takes it a little bit
more serious. Look, oh Joe, he ain't never gonna be
able to sit down in the chair. He ain't gonna
be cold, he ain't gonna be joining. He aint gonna
be lebvon or Kawhi and their pride. That's not what
he is.

Speaker 3 (31:11):
But he agreeted what he does.

Speaker 2 (31:13):
But you can't, oh Jo. You can't just open the
door and let the man come in the house and
then talking about hey man, he robbed out house. Y'all
should have locked the door.

Speaker 5 (31:20):
Bro.

Speaker 2 (31:20):
That's your guy, right, that's your guy. But I hopefully
he figured this out. O Joe, Oh Jo.

Speaker 5 (31:28):
People are dog and Nico Harrison for comments he made earlier.

Speaker 1 (31:31):
Let's take a listen, and I'd like to give Rob
Polink a lot of credit. You know, trades, you guys
have been around here. Trades don't happen at the smallest
level without stuff getting out and Rob and I were
able to have, you know, really intense conversations over the
course of you know, three or four weeks that started
out as a coffee that you know, it was more

(31:53):
Hey would you ever?

Speaker 3 (31:54):
I don't know what I let me think of, you know,
and then.

Speaker 1 (31:57):
It built upon that, and you know, we kept it
between us.

Speaker 3 (32:01):
We had to, we had to keep it tight. Jay
Kid didn't know about it.

Speaker 1 (32:06):
But Jaki and I are aligned and we talk about
archetypes and we talk about the culture that we want
to create.

Speaker 3 (32:11):
So I know the type of.

Speaker 1 (32:12):
Players that that she likes without actually talking to them.

Speaker 3 (32:16):
Hey would you like?

Speaker 5 (32:17):
You know?

Speaker 1 (32:18):
So I know that and Jki coached them when they
won a championship. So so I think when you're aligned
with your coach like that, I know the type of
players that he likes, and so I felt good about it.
It making sense to where we're trying to go.

Speaker 3 (32:34):
That is it.

Speaker 2 (32:38):
The fact was like, hey, man, would you o Joe?
If it ever comes up? Man, would you cheat on
your wife? Would you cheat on your girl? Now? I
was just playing, I would just playing you already put
that thought out there. Yeah, you thought about it, you're
thinking about it.

Speaker 3 (32:53):
Oo.

Speaker 5 (32:54):
The mere fact, Hey.

Speaker 3 (32:56):
Would you you trained Luka, I don't.

Speaker 5 (32:59):
Know what Nah, damn man, I'll die. I wouldn't say
no looking bad style stop? Uh uh?

Speaker 3 (33:10):
Hey, kid like, don't speak for me. Hey, he had
nothing to do with it, kid Like.

Speaker 2 (33:16):
I don't care. I don't care every three or under.
All I know is he gives me. He gave me
thirty plus ninety.

Speaker 3 (33:22):
Eight every night, and that's crazy.

Speaker 5 (33:26):
But here's the thing that's how it doesn't get out,
Oh Joe.

Speaker 2 (33:30):
Normally two people can keep a secret, but one normally
has to be dead. Yeah, because the more because the
more people you tell, and then there's a change that
you don't know where the breach came in at because
you done told so many people. Yeah, oh Joe, you
know last story in school, you tell somebody at the
front wrote and by the time we get to the
lab first it ain't nothing like that.

Speaker 3 (33:52):
Nothing like the first Yeah, I remember that.

Speaker 5 (33:56):
The same thing. Too many people know it's gonna get out.

Speaker 2 (34:05):
Oh, math fan held a funeral for Luca outside the stadium.

Speaker 5 (34:11):
Oh lord, you're check this out.

Speaker 2 (34:13):
This is a real quote from Mark Cuban. If I
had to choose between my wife and keeping Luca on
the maths. Catch me at my lawyer's office prepping forward
the boards.

Speaker 3 (34:26):
Listen, owner that understands, the owner that understands.

Speaker 5 (34:35):
Oh, that's that's the funeral.

Speaker 3 (34:36):
That was funny. They are they serious with it?

Speaker 5 (34:48):
Yeah? Oh them gout that he had on the suit.

Speaker 3 (34:53):
You saw that.

Speaker 5 (34:54):
Oh yo.

Speaker 2 (34:55):
Players like that don't come alone. Yeah, guys like that. Listen,
Guys don't come alone. I mean they've had. Dirk Nabiski
is an MVP and a finals MVP. He not better
than Luca. Guys like that don't just sprout up on trees,

(35:16):
and you don't know. Sometimes you get fortune and don't Joe,
and you'll get you know, you get the number one
draft pick, and you'll get David Robinson, and then you know,
twelve thirteen years later you'll get a Tim Duncan, and
then twelve thirteen fifteen years later, twenty years later, you'll
get a Whimby.

Speaker 3 (35:34):
But on Joe.

Speaker 5 (35:35):
Guys like this don't grow on trees. They don't come along.

Speaker 2 (35:38):
But ever so often, Cleveland's not gonna get another Lebron,
James I could have Could you imagine Cleveland trading Lebron
at twenty five?

Speaker 8 (35:48):
Now?

Speaker 5 (35:48):
Could you imagine.

Speaker 10 (35:49):
That in that with a crash, good got the fighter
in and that with a crash.

Speaker 2 (36:04):
Kevin Durant calls out Lordy double standard after Luca trade.
Players are held to a different standard of loydy and
commitment to a program, but the organization don't get held
to that same standard from the outside world, whether it's
from the media, members or fans. We all should be
held to the same standard. Now every other every other
team might get the confidence to say, if it I

(36:24):
trade a few of my top players, if this isn't working,
I'm still shocked.

Speaker 3 (36:29):
It's crazy, unbelievable, or.

Speaker 2 (36:32):
Trading the twenty five year old Kevin the red heyl Nah,
I mean, I mean you think about it.

Speaker 3 (36:40):
Yeah, Shaq left.

Speaker 5 (36:42):
Shaq was younger than twenty when he left Orlando. But
Shaq left.

Speaker 3 (36:45):
They didn't trade him, all right, I mean I did.
I can't. I cant bet.

Speaker 2 (36:50):
And when the Lakers trade, And when the Lakers traded Shaq,
coach mister bust the owner thought Shaq the salary, the way, concern,
the conditioning was an issue, right Die sgl on Luca

(37:14):
being traded. I learned that lesson the hard way my
first year in the NBA. I got traded out of
the blue. Didn't see it coming. It doesn't surprise me
anymore that myself getting traded a long time ago. I
found out it's a business my first season.

Speaker 3 (37:28):
Woo.

Speaker 5 (37:29):
The Clippers kicking themselves in the butt.

Speaker 2 (37:33):
Because they traded Paul. They traded him and all those
draft picks for Paul George R. It ain't worked out.
Paul George is in Phoenix, is in Philly. Kawhi can't
stay healthy, and SGA is on pace to be How
was less Ga twenty five?

Speaker 5 (37:51):
He's on place to be the MVP.

Speaker 3 (37:53):
They got the best team in the Western Conference.

Speaker 5 (37:56):
I Shay is twenty six?

Speaker 3 (38:00):
Shake okay, oh Joe, Yeah, it's.

Speaker 2 (38:10):
Being reported the Lakers were reportedly irked by AD's comment
earlier about another big. Lakers reportedly fell Ad could never
be counted on as a top option and weren't going
to offer adn extension this season.

Speaker 5 (38:29):
The man ain't say gonna get yoked.

Speaker 2 (38:31):
The best is just get him a big, Just get
him somebody that he could slide down to the four. Now,
come late the ball game, I'll play the five. Braun
to play the four. Damn if you go back and look.
When they won the championship, he played the four because
normally it was either Javail at the five or Dwight

(38:52):
Howard at the five. Ad played the four. And that
was the year they did a number a trip. Basically,
Jabel had him for like six or seven minutes. To
White it get him for six or seven minutes. A
d get him for two or three minutes. Lebron, you
take it four minutes. We just kept throwing a lot
of different looks at him. Lakers felt Ad could never

(39:16):
be counted on as a top option. It's hard to
be a top option. What top option if Lebron's on
your team? If you go play with Nikola Jokic, who's
gonna be the top option?

Speaker 3 (39:27):
Yo?

Speaker 2 (39:28):
You gonna play with y'all? Let me ask you a question.
Dave was a top option in Portland for all those years.
He's not the top option playing with Giannis. Yeah, come on,
come on, Lake. Could y'all know that? And they weren't

(39:48):
going to offer Ad a extension. I thought they just
gave him an extension. I thought he just signed it
to year extension. He could sign another longer term after
this year. Are you?

Speaker 3 (40:01):
I mean? Ad?

Speaker 2 (40:01):
The last couple of years Ad has been playing, He's
played a lot of games.

Speaker 3 (40:08):
Me, you'll get a one in Dallas after next year.
I don't believe that.

Speaker 2 (40:17):
So let me guess Lebron leaves, because there's a great
chance Lebron leaves after. Let's just say, for the sake
of argument, Lebron plays this year, twenty two plays next
year twenty three, Lebron leaves. You mean to tell me
you was gonna let Anthony Davis walk. I find that
very hard to believe. The Lakers are about superstars. And

(40:37):
I'm not saying a d is Lebron, Shaq will Kareem
He's not that right. But who you gonna get?

Speaker 3 (40:50):
Who?

Speaker 5 (40:53):
Jason Tatum?

Speaker 2 (40:54):
I don't think Boston park away with him, nicolea Jokic, nor.

Speaker 5 (41:00):
Damn sure not part with him.

Speaker 3 (41:02):
Kay.

Speaker 2 (41:03):
First of all, why would Shane lead and give up
that five year extensive Shame's go back to be eligible
for a supermax so he can get three forty five.
I think shave Whiting shaved up next year, she can
get back next year four years almost three hundred. Okay,

(41:40):
not going I'm not gonna let y'all. I'm not gonna
let y'all. Let y'all get me out of my bread.
So I'm just trying to figure out who can who
can they get because look, they're only a handful.

Speaker 5 (41:50):
First of all Lebron's and the Kobe.

Speaker 2 (41:54):
Yeah, these are great players, but when we talk about that,
you play at top dollar to go see everywhere they go.

Speaker 5 (42:02):
Ain't been a handful of those.

Speaker 2 (42:06):
Deaf Curry Lebron, Jordan Kobe in the modern era. Yeah,
I'm saying anything, it's like ninety let's go say like
mid nineties. Everywhere you go home or road with no
matter what. The arena of team might be two and fifty,

(42:29):
but they're gonna come out to see Lebron, see Steph Ce, Jordan,
see Kobe.

Speaker 5 (42:34):
There's only a handful of guys.

Speaker 3 (42:36):
Luca has that.

Speaker 2 (42:40):
Luca has that, and the Lakers now have it for
the foreseeable future.

Speaker 3 (42:48):
Now Laker got power because now they're.

Speaker 2 (42:54):
Like, nah, you know what, Lebron, we love you, we
appreciate you coming here, but we take our orders from
him because at max you'll be here two years.

Speaker 5 (43:05):
We're hoping he'll be here for a decade.

Speaker 3 (43:18):
I can't wait to see how I play out on court.

Speaker 8 (43:23):
Yeah, court and and and quiets kept. I still like
the idea of Kyrie, Kyrie opting out in the summer,
which he has an opportunity to do, and he might
bring his ass over to LA next year.

Speaker 5 (43:36):
I give you a prime example. AI. What do they do
to AI?

Speaker 2 (43:41):
Tell the people at home what they do the I.

Speaker 8 (43:44):
Oh, they got him up out of there, got him
right up out of there. They'll tolerate you and say,
think of what what did Jack see?

Speaker 2 (44:02):
I had never heard anybody say that what Jack said? Yeah,
never accept anything in the wind. You wouldn't have a loss.
Y'all will listen to me chat, y'all get mad at me.
He thinks he know everything. No, I don't know everything.
Just to tad a bit about everything. But I'm just

(44:23):
telling you been in the locker room, been around a
lot of people, and won some games. Culture is very important,
very important. Everybody that's won something will tell you that
it's important. People that have it say it doesn't matter

(44:44):
as Google, as Microsoft, as Apple.

Speaker 3 (44:50):
That's the video Salesforce Oracle.

Speaker 2 (44:54):
Ask him, it's culture important, meta works, y'all hathaway, excellon,
that's what it's called important important.

Speaker 3 (45:15):
M Hey you bad o Joe, Hey, they don't.

Speaker 8 (45:24):
You have to understand you looking at it from a
different lens as opposed to everybody else. Everybody's not looking
at it from your viewpoint. Everybody's not looking at it
from your lens and the perspective in which you know
and understand how things work.

Speaker 3 (45:37):
It's different.

Speaker 2 (45:40):
It is because I think the thing is like to
be successful. Most successful people are highly highly highly motivated.

Speaker 3 (45:51):
Don't highly motivated, don't need any outside help to be motivated.

Speaker 5 (45:55):
Nope, dope.

Speaker 2 (45:58):
I got to beg you to eat right, I got
to beg you to get conditioned. I got to beg
you to show up on time. Oh, I'm paying you
fifty million, and it's just not I Look, we're using professionals.
They've got their people out there making one hundred thousand,
two hundred thousand, three hundred thousand. Bro show up on time, Oh,
that job will be there with I'm then gone, and

(46:21):
you're gonna be out of it while you're alive. Just if.
I just don't get it sometimes And but oh, Joe,
but you understand why people are successful. Yeah, No matter
what they do, it's successful. Yeah, because it's a it's
a commitment, it's a singular focus to be great and

(46:43):
what does that look like? What does that take? Everybody
talks about great? Oh too, everybody don't want to be great.
A lot of people want to talk about being great.
And I'm not saying I'm not saying be great so
you can own a business. Everybody is not meant to
own a business.

Speaker 5 (47:00):
They're not.

Speaker 3 (47:04):
And there are varying.

Speaker 2 (47:06):
Levels degrees of success, but there are certain things, there
are certain foundational pieces.

Speaker 5 (47:18):
That go hand in hand with success.

Speaker 2 (47:22):
And I don't believe you can skip the process or
skip the steps in order to enjoy that level of success.

Speaker 5 (47:33):
You can't.

Speaker 2 (47:34):
I just don't believe you can. I mean, nothing's like. Look,
I disagree with the Lakers. I think Ad was playing phenomenal.
He's played phenomenal every year except the year he's been hurt.
It's not easy being the first option to Lebron because
Lebron is still Lebron. Look at Lebron. Look what he
did last night, a thirty three point triple double. He

(47:55):
was the best player on the court, and the other
team had two All Stars Cat and Jalen Brunson, and
nobody in that arena, nobody that watched that game can
leave that game saying Lebron James wasn't the best player
on the court.

Speaker 5 (48:09):
He's forty.

Speaker 2 (48:16):
But I just saw Ad the other night before he
tweaked that abdominal muscle. Go get me forty three and twenty.
I saw that, whether forty three and twenty with whether
forty and twenty or thirty six and twenty.

Speaker 3 (48:30):
Three with nasty birt Yes and nasty.

Speaker 5 (48:39):
Oh he could?

Speaker 2 (48:40):
I mean, I mean, he's They're in a whole lot
of guys like Ad. He had forty two points, twenty
three rebounds on Joe and what two blocks the theying
a whole lot of guys that can play that side
of the ball offensively.

Speaker 5 (48:55):
Give you those numbers.

Speaker 2 (48:56):
He's twenty six and twelve and play defense, defender, pick
and roll to defend one through five, could help weak side,
block shots, rebound assists.

Speaker 3 (49:09):
A whole lot of.

Speaker 2 (49:10):
Guys they ain't there, ain't there, ain't three. First of all,
the only guy that's comfortable to him is Yiannis. But
Yannis can't. I still don't believe Yannis can defend like
a dk.

Speaker 3 (49:22):
N the boys, man, that's crazy. Just still think about that.
Now they trade they trade a young bull away like that.
That good.

Speaker 2 (49:39):
That sh But but guess what, they try to take
some of the power back. Y'all don't want to play.
Y'all don't want to do this. If we don't do a.

Speaker 8 (49:49):
Hey, I'm I'm telling you when that you try to
do somebody, they trying to take some of their power back.
They you playing, and when you play NBA players that
kind of money, the kind of money they make, it's
gonna be it's still fuck you money, no matter what
you're telling me. I can't get three forty five, but
I can still get two eighty nine or two twenty
nine or whatever it may be. That's still fuck you money.

(50:10):
They will never be able to rill in boys back
in ever, not.

Speaker 5 (50:14):
Until they are until they don't have game.

Speaker 2 (50:18):
It's hard to really mean when you got guaranteed money. Man,

Speaker 3 (50:32):
Yeah Wow. Beyonce Cowboy Carters win Best Country Album Grammys.

Speaker 2 (50:41):
Oh you said it was coming up as say ass
was upset, Oh Joe, we have some Grammy upset of
Grammy upset.

Speaker 3 (50:47):
Grammy update.

Speaker 2 (50:48):
Kanye West and Beyonca sinceereal I saw that Censory were
not kicked out of the Grammys despite earlier reports as nominee,
Kanye walked the red carpet and post what beyond Uncle.
The two then got into their car left, but they
turned head with their arrival, with Bianca leaving little to
their imagination by going completely naked underneath a sheer mini dress.

(51:13):
I mean it's I mean what it's mean is this
is expected. It's expected.

Speaker 3 (51:24):
What does he do? How do I make a splash?
How do I take advantage of this moment?

Speaker 8 (51:30):
Kanye is the grip? And I used to Grammys, what
do I do? I use my muse to make my statement?
And she made a statement. I mean it's and we've
all we've all seen athtigit before, you.

Speaker 2 (51:45):
Know, Yeah, but I ain't really trying to see it
out in public, not an event like that, O Joe.

Speaker 3 (51:51):
That's the whole point where I just said he could
make the statement, how do you make the statement?

Speaker 8 (51:54):
And grabbed the attention? How do you grab the headlines?
She do it exactly what they did and it worked.
She got some nice nem.

Speaker 3 (52:07):
Only to get Kendrick.

Speaker 2 (52:09):
Lamar won Grammy for a Record of the Year and
then later won another Grammy for.

Speaker 5 (52:14):
Song of the Year. Not like Us excepting the award
from Dana Ross.

Speaker 2 (52:18):
This is what it's about, man, because at the end
of the day, nothing is more powerful than rap music.

Speaker 5 (52:22):
I don't care what it is.

Speaker 2 (52:24):
Where our culture and it is always gonna stay here
and live forever.

Speaker 3 (52:31):
That's live.

Speaker 2 (52:33):
Beyonce one grab Grammy for Album of the Year for
Cowboy Carter. Hold on, this is her first album of
the year, isn't it.

Speaker 3 (52:41):
I think it is.

Speaker 2 (52:43):
Because normally Taylor Swift, I think it's won four has
beaten her, has beaten her out a couple of times.
I think she's got all these Grammys, but I think
Cowboy Carter is our first album of the year.

Speaker 3 (52:55):
Hey, hold up?

Speaker 5 (52:56):
How she went Grammy for Album of the Year and
she ain't get no country music a ward? That's a

Well, congratulations Beyonce.

Speaker 2 (54:16):
Look, she's the most If I'm not mistaken, I think
she's the most decorated.

Speaker 5 (54:24):
Singer in Grammy history. I don't think anybody has more
than she does.

Speaker 2 (54:29):
And she finally has an Album of the Year, if
I'm not mistaken, right, Album of the Year?

Speaker 3 (54:41):
Right? Okay, I like that. Congrats Beyonce. Well done.

Speaker 2 (54:51):
Alicia Key says DEI is not a threat, It's a
gift and powerful speech. She was presented with the Doctor
Drake Global Impact Award at the twenty twenty five Grand
Queen Latifah presented Alicia with the honor, calling her a
global force. In her acceptance speech, she gave a shout
out to female musicians like Missy Elliott, Linda Perry, and Moore,
saying I always had to fight for certain level of

(55:14):
respect as a songwriter, composer, and especially producer.

Speaker 5 (55:18):
It's strange that we think women as producers like Quinn.

Speaker 2 (55:21):
We don't think of women as producers like Quincy Jones,
doctor Dre Squizzy, her husband Squizby. But female producers have
always powered the industry. Good job, good job, he Loo, Alicia.

We win that. Hey, hey, there is a good chance,
you know, the good the Good Lord has favor that.
Oh yeah yeah.

Speaker 2 (58:26):
Jeremy Scott said, I remember last year when the maths
gym annoyingly taking a beer from Luca.

Speaker 5 (58:32):
Doesn't seem so funny.

Speaker 3 (58:33):
Now, yeah it doesn't. It's unfortunate.

Speaker 2 (58:42):
Very a damn smell said, I don't care if Lucas
was three hundred pounds. You don't trade generational player that
took a team to the finals just last year. If
the Pelican can still keep Zion after the problems, he calls,
you damn sure can keep Luca. Well it's coming. I mean,
if they can get a deal, if they can get

(59:03):
an affair, if they can get a deal. For a look,
I thought they probably could have extracted more ad the
thirty thirty first twenty thirty one first round pick.

Speaker 5 (59:14):
They probably could have got some pick swaps, right.

Speaker 2 (59:18):
But hey, but Zion isn't a line line to get
three hundred and forty five million. Because you're gonna have
to make a decision. O Joe Yeah, you woulna have
to make a decision this summer. Listen, what retire before
you even finished? The decision would be easy to make

(59:38):
based on what I've gotten in the past.

Speaker 3 (59:41):
So I'm gonna just I'm gonna leave. I'm gonna just
say that it's easy to make. I ain't doing it.
I ain't doing it. What would I I let somebody
else take that on?

Speaker 5 (59:53):
Mm hmm. That's what they did. How many times you
seen receivers?

Speaker 6 (01:00:00):
We know what.

Speaker 2 (01:00:02):
Florida Guy ab sixteen second is one hundred catch seasons
six might not ever be done again.

Speaker 3 (01:00:11):
Ojo. He did it?

Speaker 2 (01:00:13):
Yeah, Steven said, Nah, being about to pace t over
was one.

Speaker 5 (01:00:30):
Yes, they will tolerate you.

Speaker 3 (01:00:35):
Listen.

Speaker 2 (01:00:37):
They will tolerate you until they can replace you. They're
not gonna let you hold their franchise hostage. They're not
gonna let a player hold them hostage.

Speaker 5 (01:00:47):
Ojo.

Speaker 3 (01:00:48):
Even if it be a They're not don't matter who y'all.

Speaker 5 (01:01:00):
Make the castro.

Speaker 2 (01:01:00):
Love to show y'all with Anthony Davis, fit with the math, Yeah,
Kyrie pick and roll, picking pop.

Speaker 5 (01:01:07):
He got Liveler to play the five. He can have
gafferd play the five.

Speaker 2 (01:01:10):
He can slide to the four, and then late in
the ball games, if you need to, he can go
to the five because he is the guy you know,
likely Lively, I said, Lively is not the greatest free
throw shooter. Gaffrick ads like eighty something percent. So then
he goes to the last five minutes of the game,
he can slide back to the five. But absolutely, absolutely,

(01:01:34):
they got a couple of spot got a clay that
can spot up a shoot.

Speaker 3 (01:01:36):
Not today.

Speaker 2 (01:01:37):
Notwithstanding, they gave up ninety one first half points to
the Cavaliers, the most in the half since the play
by play started in ninety six ninety seven, I think
the Phoenix Suns scored the most in the half.

Speaker 5 (01:01:50):
They scored one hundred and seven.

Speaker 3 (01:01:52):
Yeah, ninety and a half is crazy work.

Speaker 5 (01:01:56):
Now they scored fifty in the first quarter, forty one
in the second.

Speaker 2 (01:02:00):
Easy work, Dad, The same Luca with these problems ran
through the West on one leg while the Sixers big
up Bill Embiid hasn't sniff the finals. Instilled with the Sixers, Bro,
you can't comparison as a thief for joy the way
one person is like one family man. They let their

(01:02:21):
kids go out and come in whenever they want. To
your mom and dad didn't do that. You can't say
because they did that over there, I should be able
to do that.

Speaker 5 (01:02:29):
To them here.

Speaker 3 (01:02:31):
That ain't the where it works.

Speaker 2 (01:02:33):
And they might have to pay Luca three hundred and
fifty million dollars, And they said, we don't believe it's
only going to get worse. I don't know why people
don't understand. I love Luca. I think Luca is phenomenal.
Anybody that's tracked me since I was gonna undispute it
know what I think of Luca. But I had these concerns.

Speaker 5 (01:02:55):
I said it.

Speaker 2 (01:02:58):
Y'all gotta stop saying cause, oh, look what the Pelicans
do with Zion.

Speaker 5 (01:03:03):
Look what the officiers do with with with Joel Embiid.
That's not the maths.

Speaker 2 (01:03:10):
And Lucas salary was about to be Joe Allenbiid and
Zion's combined.

Speaker 8 (01:03:17):
That's cool, boy and them boy be making that money
they made that Fetti and me, that's good money.

Speaker 2 (01:03:29):
The team Major's teammateers said, did Luca pull a hard
to get to a bigger market? Yeah, I might have
pulled it. As I got that three forty five, I
damn sure ain't gonna pull it before. No oh no,
mm hmmm, nope, not me, Ojoe. I'm gonna get all
my bread.

Speaker 3 (01:03:50):
I got you.

Speaker 2 (01:03:53):
Isaiah Landcaster and oo in healthy. Who's better running back?
Run Sims run, Christian mc caffrey or Saquon. I think
seem c because he's a three down back. Also, I
think the Lakers should get Miles Turner.

Speaker 3 (01:04:06):
What do you think? Who you like?

Speaker 5 (01:04:08):
Oyo? Saquana h see.

Speaker 3 (01:04:10):
Mac Oh, that's a good one. Saquon see macas see macazine.
He's in the conversation for Saquon.

Speaker 2 (01:04:20):
I'm gonna take slay Kuan just for the ability to
stay healthy, see mac. Ketch has just missed too much time,
O Joe, it's too much time. Listen when he's on
the field, he's sensational. He was Offensive Player of the
Year just last year. Can run the ball, give you
thirteen fourteen hundred yards, can catch another eighty ninety balls
out of the backfield? Sensational, Just can't stay healthy. Black

(01:04:43):
Fabio Levin left the keys on the table for Ad
to take them, but for some reason, Ad kept bringing
the key back to keys as if he forgot if
Lebron forgot them on accident.

Speaker 5 (01:04:55):
What you think o.

Speaker 8 (01:04:56):
Joe Lebron said to himself, huh before the season started,
I'm giving the key.

Speaker 3 (01:05:01):
I'm turning the keys over to a d.

Speaker 5 (01:05:04):
You know, I thought that he played well.

Speaker 3 (01:05:07):
He was he was playing well. I thought he played well.

Speaker 2 (01:05:10):
I thought he played well every year he's been there,
with the exceptional season that he's got hurt, and he's
done a better job of keeping of being available, of
being accountable being there.

Speaker 3 (01:05:21):
And obviously it's not enough.

Speaker 2 (01:05:24):
And from Rogers a little unkin o yo, what butter
products really work?

Speaker 3 (01:05:31):

that's why I look so young.

Speaker 2 (01:05:51):
Well, that black washing off on you, saying Lebron to
the Warriors, the Lakers are moving on from Lebron era
and going international, going international with it.

Speaker 5 (01:06:02):
Hone, Lebron has no trade? How that work?

Speaker 3 (01:06:09):
You can, boy? You'ret boided.

Speaker 2 (01:06:11):
Though I don't think Lebron didn't come here to go
somewhere else. He Lebron under signed two contracts extension with
the Lakers.

Speaker 3 (01:06:21):
What that mean.

Speaker 2 (01:06:24):
He chose to come back. Okay, because when you're a
free agent, you do realize you have the option to leave.
You do our free agent work right.

Speaker 3 (01:06:32):
Ain't been sid understand what to talk about. But we've
seen strange things happen.
