Speaker 2 (00:09):
Yes Mavericks. Twenty five year old guard Brandon Williams was
arrested Saturday at DFW Airport for marijuana possession. According to
the report, they found this internal see they found a
container with about one point five ounces of marijuana inside
a suitcase that belonged to him. He told the police
(00:31):
that it was his bag. He said, that's what I say,
but argued he did not pack it and that his
manager did. He's placed under arrest. He's gonna have some
charges of possession of marijuana under two ounces. That is
a misdemeanor, and I looked it up in Texas maximum
punishment punishment on that would be up to one and
eighty days in jail. I don't think he'll serve any
(00:52):
jail time for this if.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
No probation and first time offense. Yeah, my confusion. So
I'm trying to sort all this out. Wasn't he at
the arena Friday night? So he got up and went
to the airport to pick up luggage like I thought
I saw he was. He was taking leave to go
deal with something personally, right, But I thought that was this.
I thought that was that too. I thought he was flying.
(01:14):
He wasn't on the team plane. He was flying away
to deal with There hasn't been a team plane like
they've been they've been playing home games. Oh that's what
I'm saying. Now, I'm saying. It wasn't on a team plane.
He was flying away to go deal with a personal issue.
Oh that was a regular airport, not the MAVs team. Okay,
so he was leaving, he was heading. Okay, that makes sense.
(01:37):
The game, No, no, no, there's.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
No game like they was it the game Friday or
another home games?
Speaker 1 (01:42):
But it was the game Friday or Sunday that he
was not the first for personal reasons. The first one
I saw was Sunday Friday. He was there. I thought
I could be wrong, but look either way, he's an idiot.
Just letting somebody else pack your bag. And if you
have somebody in your circle, who's going to pack your
and put two ounces of weed in it or an
ounce and a half or whatever, that's not smart, Like
(02:05):
protect yourself. You're you're on a gravy train with biscuit wheels.
You have a legit shot to have a badass career
in the NBA. Don't make any boneheaded mistakes. It's not
that I'm sitting here saying, man, I don't think anyone
should smoke weed. That's not what I'm saying. But there
are rules in place that you have to follow and
be careful, be smart about it, protect all this opportunity
(02:27):
you have. It's not you know, if I'm on the Mavericks,
if I'm running the Mavericks or whatever, I'm not sitting
there going, oh, I can't have this guy. I'm going dude,
what are you thinking? Yeah, because the truth is, I'm
sure people would get mad in the league of get mad.
I mean, I think the estimates for seventy five to
eighty percent of this guy smoke weed. Also, weed is
legal in a lot of states that they travel to.
(02:48):
It's not legal here. So he actually played seven minutes
on Friday night. So Ben's point about him going somewhere
for personal matters probably is one hundred percent accurate. And
as he was leaving to fly somewhere, he was taking
weed with him. And maybe he was used to going
on the MAVs team plane and maybe they don't worry
about stuff like that. Maybe charter flights don't worry I'm
(03:09):
not seeing the MAVs. I'm just saying maybe charter flights
they don't check to see if you have weed in
your bag or whatever.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Yeah, right, that would make a lot of sense. I
do know people who.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Just there there was a player that got pulled off
of the charter flights because like, you can't have that
much weed in your bag. Well, so when I went
to Vegas recently, you know, there was obviously like one
of the first things you do when you get to
Vegas is you go to the weed shop and it's
like it's all legalized there, and so it's just like
being at a grocery store, right, And I know that
(03:41):
there was people with us who were like, yeah, I'm
gonna get some and take it home. And I'm like, okay,
I don't think you can do that, like and they're like, oh,
they don't care, it's just a couple of j's or whatever.
I'm like, I don't even I wouldn't ever risk that,
but I would neither. But I know people that like
all the time, and usually it's like take gummies because
gummies don't really have that super crazy smell, like you know,
(04:04):
weed still smells super strong. But yeah, I know a
lot of people that they do business in Colorado and
they just bring weed back. Yeah, man, i'd be scared. Yeah,
I don't even know. All I know is that So
when I was so, I've been taking these and I
don't know exactly what they are. You probably know what
they are, our buddy Jess killing. It's like gummies. I
(04:24):
think it's THHC or some or maybe not. It's whatever.
It's legal here, but it just helps you go to sleep. Yeah, okay,
you're time CBD. Then I guess his THC's not okay. Well,
I guess I don't know a lot about it. Weirdly,
but I was terrified of even trying to fly to
Vegas with those. So just to be safe, I'm like,
I don't know what the rules are. I'm just not
going to risk anything. He was probably just like, man,
(04:47):
I take stuff with me all the time. I'm not
worried about it. I don't who knows. It was a
boneheaded mistake. It's not a huge deal where it makes
you think, oh God, this guy's not a good guy
at all. Most of the league smokes. It just makes
you think, dude, are you in what are you doing? Yeah,
they could kind of use him to Yeah, Oh, absolutely,
he's great. I mean, they absolutely need him, they don't.
(05:08):
They have guard issues right now. I have no idea
how long he's out, but I think he's out tonight.
I mean when I saw the report, it looked like
he was out tonight. And I don't know how long
this continues.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Yeah, but yeah the Pacers tonight, Hero ninety seven won
the Eagle. You're home of Dallas Mavericks basketball.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Another home game right fire? Their home game, This is
the fifth, and then they'll be flying to Mexico City
on Friday for the away game. That's a double away game.
See everyone out there, Yeah, at Detroit and at Mexico,
Mexico City, Christina, what's coming up next? In the Cookie Jar?
Speaker 2 (05:37):

country song back in the day, and we're gonna listen
