Every time I Don't like, idon't like a trade.
I'm gonna tell you that rightnow I do not like it.
But Moving on to my first topicthat I want to touch on, the
different nuggets, no, i'm notgonna hit you with no analytics
and no analysis, because I neverplayed in the NBA.
I'm a consumer.
Nuggets beat the heat 401 whichwe kind of seen coming.

(01:33):
I know I have.
I didn't think the heat wouldwin at all against the nuggets
But it was took.
You know we was like, oh youknow, great run, great story,

I'm not gonna hit you with whatthe Miami Heat should have done

(01:54):
scheme wise.
I didn't play.
I played always communitycollege boss.
I have no, i'm a consumer.
So I'm gonna hit you with froma fast perspective.
I'm not gonna hit you with thegame.
I'm not gonna say that JimmyButler should have did this or
Suppose should have did that.
I'm not gonna hit you with noneof these things.

(02:16):
I'm gonna hit you from aconsumer standpoint about the
transition that we're seeing inthe NBA, because right now what
we're seeing is an internationaltakeover.
What I mean by that is thisLet's look at the MVP of the NBA
finals right now in the colaYolkich, who was one of the best

(02:38):
big men to ever play the gameeight years in a game.
I'm not gonna say it's tough,i'm not gonna do that ranking
right now.
I'm gonna get to that in asecond, but I'm gonna talk about
What's happening wastransitioning with the American
players and with theinternational players.
It was like the internationalplayers.
When was the last time anAmerican won MVP in NBA?

(02:59):
James Harden With Houston.
That's the last time anAmerican player won MVP Since
then.
The cola Yolkich twice couldhave been three, but Joe L&B and
Yanis the Greek freak Those areright now three of the top

(03:21):
players in NBA, followed by Luca, and you could throw whoever's
number five.
You could throw Tatum, you canthrow LeBron, don't Kuri, throw
KD, But Malin.
You know now those four guysare just named, all the top four

(03:41):
players in NBA, and they're notfrom America.
They play in America, butthey're not from America.
That's the top.
So when I say a transit, when Isays international takeover,
this is what I mean.
We're so used to the bird magicerror than the Jordan error,
than the Colby and Shaq error.
Then you had the LeBron Jameserror.

(04:02):
Let's just think post LeBronJames, once he retired.
Let's think post KD, when heretired.
Let's think post Steph Curry,when he retired.
Let's name our top fiveinternational players.
I just gave you four who could,who could be five?
One, though shake yieldedAlexander in there.
One thought you're more Murrayin there.

(04:23):
That's another guy that's notfrom America.
That's what's happening rightnow.
Now Let's look at our top fiveAmericans.
Look at our top five Americanguys in NBA post LeBron Steph
Curry.
Let's name those three.
We gonna name five guys fromAmerica.
That's top.
That could be top five Tofucking up.
That we're gonna talk aboutwith Zion and Jock.

(04:44):
So let's, let's, let's excludethem out the way Now.
Let's exclude the two guys thatthe NBA try to get the keys to
be.
The face of the NBA was on ajob.
We're gonna get to that.
What Devin Booker?
He's not better than those fiveguys are named.
Oh, oh, my, oh, my bad offergot Jason y'all boy.

(05:05):
Jason Tatum, right, he's my boy.
She went to Duke.

Let's throw Jason Tatum inthere, who she won't throw
Anybody else we name not evengonna sniff your top five
players in the next 10 years.
And don't let Victor and be I'ma be that guy because I've been
on this, been I've been sayingfor the longest Victor and be

(05:27):
Yamaha.
I Could be that potential.
If we talk about a time withwho's gonna be the face of the
NBA when LeBron James with TyreJust down shangha, be an
American player.
They don't play hard onall-star game.
They have low management.
When they get their money theywant to sit out.
Oh, you know what?
I'm not gonna play until I'mmyself.

(05:48):
But you got guys probably herewith broken fingers and messed
up ACLs and messed up ankles,like Kawai Leonard, for example.
That's the American guy, butlook what he's doing.
Not gonna talk too much on pauljub because he had a horrific
injury.
Ever since then he ain't beenthe same.
A lot of these guys gonna sitout.

(06:09):
James Harden, another guy.
It's the last American MVP, butthat's the trend.
That's what's happening rightnow in the NBA and it's not a
bad thing.
I understand.
Look, we're so used to anAmerican guy being the top
though We so used to beinghaving an American guy Hand the
keys to the, to the NBA, to theleague.

That's what's happening.
Yanis Yolkich, luca Shay, gilgis, jamal, murder the rest of
these guys.
That's what's going on, and Iunderstand that.

(07:18):
Like I said, we're so used toit, but The NBA right now is the
number two sport behind soccer.
I'm gonna say basketball I'mnot sitting there I'm gonna say
basketball number two sport.
They passed in the fell up.
They've been past baseball, upAnd behind cycle soccer.
Why is that?
You got your answer Moving on azion and job.

(07:41):
Hey, look on which I lookupcoming a train's gonna do the
document of guns and buns for 30, for 30.
It's coming up guns and buns,but you see what I'm talking
about though.
You see, but you get what I'mcoming from.

(08:02):
What international playersfucking up like this?
who Nobody?
We got guys that want to goparty at the club after they
lose a playoff series.
We got guys want to fuck pornstars.
Knock it.
Okay, let's talk about that fora quick second Zion.
Look, before I get serious Ifyou're gonna go porn stars, now

(08:27):
me, i'm 29, i'm going on 30.
I, i go up in the era of limewire, i Pornhub, where you had
Cherokee, jada Fire, pinky,jasmine, cashmere.
You had oh my God, wasn't itCody, cody Bryant, you're a COD,
yeah, cody Bryant.
Lisa Ann um, shit, capri Styles, of course we had.

(08:54):
We had so many.
But you get where I'm comingfrom.
It's a different you.
If you went to one of those,you're perfectly good in my book
.
I'm like man.
All praise to you, but you goto a lot of meals.
That's.
That's who we're going to now.

(09:15):
Hey, you know, sleep where youwant to sleep with, but
sometimes you got to makecertain decisions and you got
things for.
You got played chess, notcheckers.
So because you get the moneydoesn't mean you can just spend
it on any and everything.
Then LeBron James, teach oranything, how to move like the

(09:35):
president.
You don't hear a P from LeBronJames.
He moves smart.
He got his guys around on desk.
That makes power moves.
Jama rant, lebron didn't teachon none of this.
Kobe Shaq, who's one of thesmartest men investing, the wise
ever.
This dude owns Marilyn Monroe.

(09:55):
This dude owns Marilyn Monroe.
They don't soak the game up.
I'm like, dude, that's yourfamily Only 4,000, some odd
players has ever played in theNBA.
You're part of a fraternity.
Ask the OG's some game.
Go to Charles, go to go to, youknow, shaq.

(10:17):
Go to some of the guys thatplay for your franchise.
Jama ran, you had Zach RandolphRight there.
Talk to him.
Zion, you got some teammates,but you want to be in Dallas.
That's your favorite road trip.
I'm like when I heard that, iheard Dallas, i said oh no,
really over Houston.
But it is what it is.

(10:42):
But that's what's going on inthe NBA.
When you have guys that'sfucking up like that it.
You know what It's rewind.
Let's go back to that Jeff class.
It was Zion and Jama rent, butwe didn't know who Jama rent was
.
The nation didn't know who hewas.
If you follow collegebasketball, you know who he was.
They both put on the same air.
You see, they both went toSouth Carolina No, no, excuse me

(11:04):
, from South Carolina With them.
The mindset you have to have.
No, forget that.
Take that Jeff class.
My mind's all over the place.
This topic.
I've been thinking about thistopic for like a week.
This Jeff class was all Zion.

(11:26):
When he got drafted, he wassupposed to be the face of the
NBA post LeBron.
Once he played a lot of games,jama ran came on the scene.
It was like, oh no, this is ourguy, this is for us, this is
for the kids.
Then he was handed the keys tothe NBA after LeBron.
But when you start fucking upshit like that now you're

(11:49):
fucking up the future of theleague for young American
players coming in Because weain't got touch on Jama and
suspension Once it come out,then I give my thoughts.
But this is what happens whenyou give the franchise to a guy
who's not even 25, who has neverseen much money in his life.

(12:09):
And another thing that's fuckedup is the guaranteed contracts
Not for everyone, but for some.
That's a lot of pressure todeal with.
It's a lot of money to handlebecause you a CEO, you're the
bag, you're the company, you'rethe person.
Everybody's looking at you.
You hire and fire people,friends and family, colleagues.

(12:31):
It's a lot to handle becauseit's going to happen with the
Scoot Henderson's of the worldcoming up, brandon Miller, so
forth, so on.
They're going to ask certainquestions that never used to ask
NBA players.
I'm not going to say guaranteedcontracts The reason why, but
do it play a part for some?
hell, yeah do.
Hell, yeah do.

(12:52):
But, like I say, internationalplayers getting guaranteed
contract.
Come to what's going to happen.
Do not let Victor and be.
I'm a B, what they say is goingto be.
If he's going to be that guythey say he's going to be, he's
going to be the first $400million NBA player.
That's what that's what that'sthe direction is heading to,
because these TV deals, the newCBA, we're going to see players

(13:14):
get $300 million contracts.
You'll be like how the fuck didhe get $300 million?
So long as they make you money,you keep getting revenue.
That's going to happen, butthere's a price to pay with some
of them, though.
But I want to touch on thissubject.
Take my quick water break.

(13:35):
I want to touch on locally WithHouston.
This past weekend.
It was a shooting at taboo.
People don't know what taboo is.
Taboo is a lounge, club,restaurant, whatever you want to

(13:56):
call it.
This will be a piece of place.
Turn to a lounge, and severalpeople got shot.
So, basically, what happenedwas that shooting had.
Fight broke out, shootinghappened in the parking lot And
shops just fired.

(14:16):
Several people got hit.
As of right now, nobody haspassed.
But several people that wentthere to just have fun that
night They got shot.
I want to say one is incritical condition at that time.

(14:40):
But the reason why I bring thatup is because me being from
Houston, me going out to certainplaces, sometimes the possible
cause Now I wasn't there, don'tknow who was involved.
They say people in their 20sand 30s, whatever.

(15:01):
When you dealing with placeslet's go back I'm going to try
to ask you So when you, do youlike traffic?
Yeah, like traffic, like in thetraffic jam.
If you in the traffic jam, youtrying to go somewhere, do you
like being in traffic, stuck intraffic?
I don't like it.
But at the same time it's likenot a deal breaker.

(15:22):
It's not a deal breaker Whenyou go to the grocery store and
you're about to get in the check, you trying to find a checker
line, and don't have a lot ofpeople, but all of them is
packed.
Are you a little bit frustrated?
a little bit like God damn, youknow a little bit frustrated,
right, but you're not happyabout it.
You're not happy about traffic.

(15:42):
So what I'm pointing out makingis that when you dealing with
places that you have no where togo, have no where to stand.
I'm not saying that's the reasonwhy it happened, but I'm just
throwing out my possible theoryto not just think about it.
I'm just trying to get mytheory to not just this but like
some future endeavors or thingshappening in the past, just
experiencing me going out.
When you're out somewhere andyou're clogged up, you can't

(16:04):
move, you tend to get a littlebit frustrated.
You can't get to the bar to geta drink.
You got a section with yourpeople and people's all in your
section.
They knock itself over, thehooker falls down, the drink
spilled over, people bump intoyou a little pissed.
That's what kind of happenssometimes, especially at places
like a taboo right.

(16:25):
Not saying it's the cause, butjust think about this
possibility.
I want him to be somethingtotally different, but that's
what happens sometimes.
We do it packed places.
You got nobody, you got nowhereto stay in, you got nowhere to
see, you can't get a drink.
You clogged up, you can't move,you're going to be frustrated,

(16:46):
you're going to feel a certainway.
You're going to want to want tofight somebody or somebody
could just step on your shoejust a tad bit and not you
frustrated because of youalready frustrated.
That was already built up fromthe place.
So a lot of these places,sometimes when they just try to
pack as many people as they can,it's a cause and effect.

(17:07):
It's positive and a negative.
Positive is you're getting yourmoney.
People go on record Some ofthem in this place is lit, yada
yada, but it leads to furtherdamage to some people sometimes.
Some people can't handle it.
Some people just want to go outjust to be in the scene.
We see it all the time.
People think the shit is litand then people just looking

(17:28):
around, just looking, not evencaring about what's going on,
not even drinking, just staringLike they just look lost.
But that's what we're yetThat's what can happen in some
of these places.
But then you go to some placethat are packed.
I'm going to give a shout out toChapman and Kirby Now.
They're going to be wrong.

(17:49):
I don't go there every Sunday,but every time I went no drama
happened.
I'm going to say another thingwhy I think that is never like
that?
Why?
Because it's a huge ass place.
The only time you're frustratedis if you're hot out saying you
got standing in line.
But once you go inside, theplace is huge.
It was back part And it could bea holiday in this pack and

(18:12):
nothing is going on becausepeople got space to move around.
You're not frustrated.
There's no reason to befrustrated in that place.
There's no reason There'smultiple people working at the
bar.
You know what I mean.
Like there's nothing for you tobe like.
I feel frustrated.
I feel like I want to hitsomebody.
I want to have a bra, unlessyou just pissed off at something

(18:32):
else that happened before thenor during.
But space, you need space.
You can't go to the club andpack that.
You can't move nowhere.
That's not fun.
Somebody's going to get pissed.
Somebody's going to get pissedTo shoot in several people.
You just pissed off atsomething, but not to the point
where you got to just go off andkill.
And ever since 2020, sincewe've been open it's always been

(18:55):
some shit.
People could say they're notfrom Houston, people, whatever,
but it's always something.
It's always something that youknow was been going off.
In the last three years, weseeing the up the rate, a rising
crime.
Good thing is not to the extentof where it's going to be top
five in America.
It's not on that level, butit's more than what we're seeing

(19:17):
.
There's senseless crimeshappening every day And at some
point this shit got to stop.
Shit's got to stop.
So luckily, nobody got killedNobody, yeah, nobody got killed.
So that's a good thing, butpeople are just making senseless
decisions.

(19:37):
It's just to me something wegot to fix as people especially
me being from this city.
But I do want to touch onsomething else that was in the
news last week.
Now, i've been a big believerin this for years upon years,
especially because I got it frommy dad got arrested.

(19:58):
So he was a big believer inconspiracies and UFO sightings
and everything else around that.
There was another one.
It's been a lot in history, butthis is another one.
This was very concerning forsome people.
I think this was the one thatgave people that never believed

(20:21):
in it another thought of likedamn, hold on now.
Ok, this might be real.
Let's take a listen at this.
So apparently there was a UFOsight in Vegas If not too
familiar with it, area 51 is inNevada, a little outside of
Vegas And there was a 911 carmade where this couple sees

(20:44):
these 8-foot giants, becausethere's like two of them that
was in their backyard.
Luckily nobody was hurt, but itwas fucking eerie.
I want anybody to just imaginethis You at home late at night
and you see some shit outsideyour backyard.
It's the scariest shit ever.
Two 8-foot giants Man, don'tknow what the hell.

(21:05):
They are with big eyes lookingat you.
What the hell you going to do?
You know what I mean.
What can you do?
So they make this call numberone.
Please calm.
Of course the fucking aliensvanish.
They know what's going tohappen.
They could think two, threetimes ahead of you So they leave

(21:28):
.
And at this point people waslike they not scared of them,
but they just laughing about itLike yo too.
What the fuck man?
Well, they like that right now.
But the reason I bring thistopic up is because, of course,
for one, i'm always interestedin hearing about UFO sightings
and news.
Like I said, i've always been abeliever.
I've always been a believer ofthis.

(21:49):
It was an ever since around.
Like I want to say, when I was18 or 19 years old, i started
reading more books and I startedlooking into it more.
I knew that there was more thanjust human beings.
So let me get this straight tosome people that don't believe
about any other organisms or anyspecies in this galaxy.
We already got what?

(22:10):
how many?
7 billion people in this world.
So we got 7 billion people inthis world.
That's just Earth We have over.
Let's be 100.
There's more than nine planets.
There's 20,000 planets in thisgalaxy.
So I want you all to reallytell me this Out of 20,000
planets in this huge-ass galaxy,y'all really believe Earth is

(22:36):
the only planet with livingbreathing species?
Really, who's delusional?
Because for me, like I said,they come out of space.
I believe some of them come outof water.
Hell, the ocean is only 20%discovered Shit Go, look at a

(22:59):
lot of them UFO stories.
A couple was outside, just bythe water, by the lake, and all
of a sudden we see lights comeout of the water.
Of course it's going to soundcrazy to the general, but to me
I'm like yo, i'm not surprised.
Scary as shit, but I'm notsurprised.
Now think about how America isset up wise.
When it comes to conspiraciesin America, you gotta understand

(23:24):
when it started, especiallywith UFOs.
The Rothwell Project thathappened in the 40s.
The crash happened and all of asudden, hey, what the fuck just
happened?
You know, conspiracy startedwith the UFOs.
Ever since there's been a lotof UFO sightings the Phoenix
lights in 97, so many other.
Let's take the JFK assassination, 20 years after the Rothwell

(23:46):
Project.
That happened and, mind you, atthis time America said you know
, somewhat trust the governmentmore so than now Trust the
government.
So you have to have it.
Just like, hey, what the fuckhappened to our president?
How you get sassin' on live TV?
You know they killed thebrother too after that.

(24:08):
And then you move forward to theOklahoma City bombing.
Now, mind you, there's otherconspiracies that happened
within this, but I'm naming someof the biggest ones.
For examples, you have thebombing happen and it's like, oh
shit, what the fuck is going on?
Columbine shooting at a school.
And then we move to the onethat we all know in our era 9-11

(24:32):
.
Ever since 9-11, no Americanstrust the government.
After that It was gone, adiosDone, no more trust.
See, you add on top of them,add on all that.
You got the UFO sightings, yougot the JFK, so you got the NACI
, you got 9-11, all these things.
The trust at this point nowit's at below zero.

(24:57):
And then the government justcame out around last year and
said, yeah, declassify UFOs,they are out there.
This, down to third, i'm goingto tell you something they're
not going to reveal themselvesto the world public like that
because the average human can'ttake some shit like that.
Think about it.
they ever came on the news andactually had an alien talking on

(25:18):
the news.
They ain't going to.
First of all, they're not goingto just some of them are going
to look like us.
You know what I'm saying.
Some of them are going to havebig ass eyes.
Some of them are going to lookjust like us.
We see the movies all the time,but the average human can't
take that.
That's too much.
Not a word's going to go to anfrenzy.
If they ever came on officiallysay, yup, what you've seen is
real.
There's nothing to.
Third, because, like I said,with the call, go list to it, go

(25:40):
on YouTube the UFO Vegasbackyard, pull that up.
Some of them still joking aboutit.
It's a joke to a lot of peopleand you still got some people
that don't believe it.
But the one thing is I'm goingto tell y'all right now, y'all
need to wait the fuck up,because this isn't, that's not
going to be the last time youhear of somebody another UFO

(26:01):
sighted.
I'm going to tell you that.
Other news Floyd Mayweather hada fight this past weekend
against John guy the third.
I didn't watch the fight,didn't know they was fighting
And apparently there was abrought that took place inside

(26:23):
the ring and outside the ring.
I'm not even going to touch oninside the ring right now with
Floyd Mayweather.
I want to talk about the otherbrought that happened outside
the ring Jocelyn and big Lex.
Now I don't watch reality TV.
I don't care for it.
Hell, the only type of realityI used to watch was WWF, back in

(26:46):
the attitude era.
That was my reality TV.
Every fucking Monday Was rawand smacked.
On Thursdays, nothing that I'mnot like.
I like college heel to nice towatch college heel.
That's about it, but this shitNo.
So I don't know who.
Big Lex, but apparently a broadhappened.

(27:08):
I saw the video Now.
Mind you, it was kind of funny.
When the girl threw the waterat Jocelyn, she took off running
.
That's, that's hilarious.
But the reason I want to bringthis up because I really don't
like bring up trash shit likethis.
But this is called it what itis Our people.
Ratchet is hell man That whitepeople are to some people are.

(27:29):
That's why I'm registered upghetto.
I don't want to spend too muchtime on it.
It was hilarious, but it'ssomething that I really don't
want to get too much attentionto.
But it's just like can anybodyhelp me and say what was a
fighting for?
You know people want to talkabout?

(27:51):
yes, you got a resty.
I know she got a resident onsome charges, whatever.
She got four different charges,so I think she slapped the
officer And then you have herhusband or her boyfriend coming
and hit a girl.
Now I think that's the part thatwe want to touch on a little
bit.
What I, if my girl, got tofight another girl as a man,

(28:17):
what would I do?
It's pretty fucking easy.
I'm not gonna hit the otherwoman.
I'm not gonna hit.
I don't know why this guy camein and try to hit the other
woman.
You could pull them off, butwhat you can out the video is
that the guy that's recording islike yo man, get the fuck off
her man.
Joshly Man, it's not right man.
Hey dude, why the fuck youhitting the woman?

(28:38):
man, that's, that's fucked up.
Now pitch this this house going.
Hey dude, fuck man In front ofcamera.
Hey man, fuck man, come on,just get off of me.
This ain't right, man.
This ain't right, this ain'tright.
Hey dude, come on man, help me.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
If it's a problem to you,dickhead, how about you put the
phone down and help and get heroff her People just want

(29:05):
attention.
If something bothers you thatmuch, put your phone down, stop
pressing recording and go help.
It's that simple.
It was like so many likequestion marks throughout this
whole footage And I'm sittinghere like what the fuck is going

(29:32):
on right now.
That's the world we live in.
You tell somebody to help theother person to get one girl off
the other, but you're a man andyou can easily do the same shit
.
Make it make sense, because itdon't Now all to the other

(29:55):
brother.
That happened in the ring withFloyd May within John Gotti.
Now let's hang a lot to you.
I think the only exhibitionboxing match I cared about was
Floyd May weather in ConorMcGregor.
That's the only one I caredabout.
It just sucks that I was onthat same time.
Hurricane Harvey happened, so alot of people couldn't even
watch the fight.
That's the only one I caredabout.
My only thing was Floyd Mayweather.

(30:16):
Some of these guys don't.
Floyd May weather is a top.
Fuck it.
Floyd May weather is on theMount Rushmore boxing.
In my opinion, If it's not one,he's not two, if it's not two,
he's not three, he's not three,he's not four, nothing below
that.
He's the greatest whatsoever ofall time, arguably.
I mean I know Sugar Ray Leonardcould be one, but neither is

(30:37):
the same.
Your Floyd May weather Now Iget it.
You know you're not going toget in the real ring with Spence
Crawford.
There's no point.
Your legacy is solidified.
But some guys shouldn't even bein a ring with this guy.
Not everybody is worthy ofbeing in the ring with Floyd May
weather.

(30:57):
Because I didn't know the fightwas happening.
I don't know what was going onpromo, i didn't, i didn't hear
about it.
I just believe that these fivesteps for me what it's taking,
is obviously for the money,because somebody's John got it
Can forever say I fall for mewith her.
That's not happening.

(31:19):
Who the hell is John?
I thought John got it was adrug dealer from back in the day
, ain't he?
Who the fuck is?
John got a third.
That shouldn't be a match up.
But that's what I'm talkingabout.
Like your Floyd, he should not.

(31:41):
Nobody own that type of little.
Share the ring with Floyd Mayweather, just like somebody back
in the day said man, i was in aring with Muhammad Ali And my
name is in George, from the JoeFraser or Ken Dore to Larry
Holmes or anybody like that,sonny Liston, i'm some random
guy from the lower part ofLouisville, kentucky or

(32:02):
something, and I got in a ringwith Muhammad Ali.
That should not happen.
Too many of this shit.
I mean that part of it is notgood for boxing.
So to me that part is not good.
You know, celebrity boxing isas interesting as been going on
for a minute.
I'm not worried about that.
But some of these guysshouldn't even share the ring

(32:23):
with Floyd May weather.
All these fights happen.
Hell, i get a ring with FloydMay than do two, three rounds,
shit.
You know.
I mean like if John Gotti thethird is on a ring with him,
hell shit.
You know his record.
Do you know his record?
I don't want to pull it.
Do he even got a record?
I want to.
I really I never looked this up.

(32:44):
I want to see a John Gotti.
John Gotti, your third.
Does he have a boxing?
Does he have a record?
What the Hold on, don't get.
Don't tell me this To an O,he's to an O And he got in the

(33:11):
ring with Floyd May weather.
In the world of lightheavyweight division, out of 13
102 light heavyweights, he is701.
That's his ranking.
In America there's a hundredninety one light heavyweight
Americans Seven, and he got inthe ring with Floyd May weather.

(33:36):
God bless America.
That's all I can say about that.
I drink some water on that one.
I don't like that.

(34:00):
But Moving on to real boxing,spencer Crawford had their first
press conference today.
Oh boy, was I happy.
Oh man, was I happy.
This, i'm going to tell yousomething right now.
I don't know how.
Back on WWF reference, i'mgoing to just do it.
I'm going to just say thisquick This is like when the Rock

(34:24):
met Stone Cold Rastamina 17 inHouston.
Two of the biggest fighters,two biggest names.
Duke, canada.
This is our biggest fight sinceTyson Holyfield In 97, the

(34:44):
first one Not making a racething.
But I'm gonna just throw thisquick question out there When
was the last mega fight betweentwo blacks?
Should I say Tyson andHolyfield again?
Oh, you know, i give you shamemostly made whether I give you

(35:05):
that, but on the level of, likeSuper Bowl numbers, everybody
mama trying to find a house towatch their fight.
Tyson Holyfield for sure.
This is on that level ofheightness.
I not heard people trying tosay like, oh, they take a fell
man wing, i don't care aboutthis fight in the mullet, move

(35:27):
on a tanker on, not mind youtanking.
Ryan Garcil was a very, very,very good fight.
It was needed for the sport.
That was big Lainie and LomaHaney and Loma Chanko was a huge
fight For the disputed title,but not anybody knew who they

(35:50):
were.
Loma Chanko was I knew I watchboxing, but some of the people
that listen and watch is knowwho he is.
That watch boxing.
This one is different.
It's a lot of things going onwith this one.
So for number one, this is fora number one pound-for-pound
fighter in the world.
Well, powerful pound mean isyou put all the top.
If you put all the boxes, sameheight, same weight, who'd be

(36:13):
the best fighter?
It's gonna be one of these twoSpencer Crawford.
Era spends turns Crawford.
Number two this for theundisputed belts.
This for all the belts.
This is, this is.
This is for everything.
This is the championship, thisis a Super Bowl.
That's what this is.

(36:35):
Era spends got three belts.
Crawford got one.
It doesn't get any bigger thanthat.
That it, this is.
What we need is a sport asboxing, the top dogs duking it
out, find it, getting it on thering.
I'll tell you what this fightis gonna be.
These did this fight is they gota lot of respect for each other

(36:56):
.
Angle.
They might shit talk, theymight, you know, say whatever
they got to say, but there's amutual respect between these two
.
It's like it's like your cousinfighting.
You got your flashy cousin theera spent.
You got the Chang at the jury,got the know the people and
everything.
Got the swagger Tans car fromthe country you get from the gun
.
He won't got no jury know why?

(37:16):
none of that country do.
Your long-lost country cousin.
You ain't talking a long time.
That's this fight.
Is airspace turns cover.
That's these two.
They come, they both come fromthe same place, but they just,
they just don't talk.
Today It's like talking to yourcullion and talking long time,
but she got a lot of respect forThat's how you're a spin street
turn off.

(37:36):
Now I'm not gonna give who myprediction is because I'm saving
for the fight.
But That's this fight.
It.
This fight is huge.
It's what the fight.
This is what boxing me, becausethis year in 2022 has been a
lot of good fights, a lot.
We just had tear from a Lopezand Josh Taylor fight this past
weekend till formal one Want totype like light weights.
That was a good fight.

(37:58):
Haney Loma Chanco was a goodfight.
Now We're gonna potentiallyhave Devon Haney and Shakira
Stevenson Fight.
In mind that they they was justin Houston together.
That was funny as hell boy.
Shakira's already playing mindgames with Devon Haney.
Give him a bottle that sayssign the contract.
That's gonna be a good fight.
Um, but that's the sport needs.

(38:18):
They need Spence Crawford tofight and this is in the middle
of July 29.
Take us a high as hell 7,000average.
I'm gonna just host a fightparty, that's it.
I'm not doing anything else.
I'm not going to Vegas, eventhough it's week before my

(38:39):
birthday, i'm not going.
This is much needed fight.
I'm gonna say my prediction, butEverybody's gonna tune in.
Everybody's gonna know.
If y'all don't know now, y'allgonna know in about a couple of
weeks And like, oh shit, why doyou watch this fight?
You know what's gonna happen.
I need to watch this.

(38:59):
This ain't none going on.
What you're going, what yougonna watch baseball.
Not no disrespect to baseball,but you know what?
This ain't 1980s, this isn'tthe steroid error, this isn't
bonds Griffey.
So cinnamon boys like, okay,cool, we don't watch baseball
until the playoffs come.
Can we from Houston?
We know who the fuck gone winthe Astros Baseball?

(39:20):
nah.
So you gonna watch fight.
Preseason ain't happening.
Football yet You ain't doingyour fantasy football drafts.
What you going?
what you gonna do?
so Y'all gonna watch They.
They was smart by putting inJuly 29 to.
They were smart for that.
But Moving on, i'm gonna move onthe music real fast, because

(39:43):
this one stuck.
I saw this article today Walehome prepping for the show.
No hip-hop album or song wasnumber one to billboard for
first.
For the first time since 1993,all people was in the up one.
The comments Oh my god,people's is going crazy about
this.
Man, help me.

(40:04):
Rap, suck man.
Raps dead.
Oh, everybody's on the same.
You're absolutely right.
A Lot of people do sound thesame.
You can make the argumentsaying rap is dead.
You can make that argument.
But let's just calm down andjust pump the brakes and let's
look at the factors of why Therehasn't been a number one album

(40:29):
or song on the billboard for thefirst time Since 93 it's 30
years ago.
It's the y'all was born.
It's the greatest year ever.
Let's look at a couple factors.
One Dude, we still in fuckingJune.
We never.
We, six months in, we not evendone what the year?

(40:52):
It's number one.
Number two Give me the top dogsthat came out with a song or an
album this year.
Don't name Drake, because he'severywhere.
Nobody dropped yet.
Utopia is coming out this year.
Calm your pants, that's gonnabe number one album and y'all
gonna forget about the article.
When Travis Scott drops utopia,that's gonna have a bid for

(41:19):
number one, okay.
Another factor Drake, not Drake, kendrick J Cole, top two guys
in hip-hop And job yet.
Okay, yes, jacob, what aboutJake?
he dropped all my life withdirt dirt, isn't?
I hear a dirt name one moretime Now, mind you, he's good,

(41:42):
he's been around for a long time, been around, so I've been in
college, but he's never going tosniff a number one song or
number one album on thebillboard.
No, no man.
So that's another factor.

(42:03):
One last factor Do you think ittook takeoff was alive?
You think Migos have a numberone song right now if they burn
the band back together In offsetin Quavo?
Talked out right, talked outtheir differences.
A return song for Migos,potentially Culture for being a

(42:25):
works We'll probably come outthis year.
You don't think Oh Quavo,offset and takeoffs back again
together.
They dropped their return song,biggest song probably since bad
and bougie.
It didn't drop their albumculture for You don't think that
will have a fight for numberone, nipsey hustle.

(42:47):
You don't think after finishingoff victory lap, he'll probably
have another album alreadybefore this year and then have
another one this year Like afight for number one.
Momentum victory lap was havingWould have been big and then he
would have been big in what hewas four or five years ago, the
year before he passed X, x tentimes.
You know You don't think he wasa good singer, x ten times.

(43:13):
You know you don't think hewould have a number one song
album, the route he was going.
There is our Brunos three namesup because they keep killing
off some of our top dogs in hiphop.
If y'all just put the gun downand invest in these artists

(43:36):
that's in your hood, then Someof our Great artists wouldn't be
deceased right now.
I Didn't even name young doff,but I ain't gonna go through a
long list of the artists.
That's passed away, but I putthe gun down.

(44:02):
We have a lot of people Fightingfor number one spot On
Billboard with a song on thealbum.
So that's the reason Why thoseare three reasons why we don't
have A number one song albumright now on the Billboard
midway through 2023.
I'm in y'all with this, thoughThere's a quote I've seen I'm

(44:30):
gonna give y'all A Power coupleis when yesterday's disagreement
didn't stop today communication.
I'm gonna say it one more timeA power couple is when
yesterday's disagreement didn'tstop today's communication.
I'm gonna try to think aboutthat.

(44:54):
We'll do it a kill, we out.
