Let's start off and kick offwith our first topic.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Let's go ahead.
Let's start off, all right.
So let's talk about sports.
We're going to talk aboutfascinating things that happen
in sports, so let me start off.
I'm going to start off with theincident that happened I think
it was last year with the BillSafety, demar Hamlin.
(00:53):
Okay, he suffered a cardiacarrest on the playing field
after he took a hit to the chestand he was fine when he got hit
, but when he got up, somethinghappened his heart stopped
beating and he just fell out andpassed out and they had to kind
(01:14):
of like on the field.
The medics on the fieldactually had to do CPR until the
ambulance came and everything.
Man, that's crazy.
Yeah, wow, we got to give themedical staff of the NFL, who
(01:39):
did an incredible job of keepingDeMar Hamlin at least stable
enough to make it to thehospital to get better care,
because if it wasn't for clientCPR, he would not be alive right
now.
Yeah, and Danny Killington wasone of the first staff members
(02:03):
who reached DeMar Hamlin andgave him CPR and, just to
emulate how serious this was,they gave him CPR for nine
minutes before he was you know.
(02:26):
Nine minutes of CPR, that's along time.
Yeah, nine long time.
I mean, he's lucky he's in it.
He saw a lot there and the guycame back, is back playing and
he's been playing pretty damngood since he's been back.
Wow, came back, is back playingand he's been playing pretty
(02:51):
damn good.
Which he's been back.
Wow, that's that's.
That's an insane story.
Nine, nine minutes is a longtime.
Yeah, I think your brain.
That's a long time.
That's crazy.
That's scary.
(03:18):
Nine minutes in a fight is along time damn, that's crazy.
Nine minutes and I'll fight hima long time Damn, that's crazy.
That actually could feel like alifetime.
It is Even longer when you'rethere pumping the chest and
applying breast.
You know what I'm saying?
Those guys, that shit was likefor them.
I mean, even though it was nineminutes for them fucking
(03:41):
applying CPR and rotating andswitching off and stuff like
that.
That felt like fucking ninehours.
I can imagine.
You know, I can only imaginethat's crazy.
Yeah, so just I just wanted togive a shout out to the NFL's
medical staff for doing a greatjob at a freak accident.
(04:05):
That never really happens.
This is not something that theypractice doing on a regular
basis.
You know what I'm saying.
To shoot out to the field anddo this and do that and get an
ambulance on the field and stuff.
They.
Usually, when there's an injuryinjury, they cut the person off
(04:26):
.
They had time to do stuff.
They didn't have no time withthis situation with the more
Hamlin, and their reaction wasimmediately immediately.
That's beautiful, thank God.
So let's move on to somebasketball, right?
(04:51):
So in January 2nd of 2023,donovan Mitchell had an
incredible scoring feat when heplayed against the Bulls that
night.
The dude scored 71 points in asingle game.
Nice, that's fire.
(05:12):
And what makes it amazing isthat only seven players in the
history have scored 70 points ormore, and he's included in that
.
Seven, seven, seven people.
Points or more, and he'sincluded in that.
Seven, seven, seven people.
Yeah, I think Michael Jordan.
(05:38):
Michael Jordan is not on thatlist.
Oh, but go ahead, give me namesthat you think would be on the
70 plus.
I think I saw it.
Who was it?
Also, I think it was.
No, I didn't see.
Did I see Magic Johnson?
Magic Johnson was not on it.
I'll tell you yes or no.
Okay, I don't know.
(06:01):
I think I saw the wrong one.
Sorry, I thought it was MagicJohnson.
Was it Larry Bird on that?
No, it wasn't Larry.
This dude from the Warriors wason it too, rice, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
I don't know Go ahead .
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Go ahead, All right.
Well, Wilt Chamberlain.
Wilt Chamberlain did it fourtimes.
He scored 100 points on March2nd 1962.
He scored 78 points on December8th 1961.
73 points on November 16th 1962.
He also scored 73 points onJanuary 13th 1962.
(06:44):
He also scored 73 points onJanuary 13, 1962.
And he scored 72 points onNovember 3, 1962.
As you can see, 1962 was WillChamberlain's fucking year.
Yeah, Kobe Bryant scored 81points in January 22nd of 2006.
(07:08):
Okay, David Thompson scored 73points on April 9th 1978.
David Robinson scored 71 pointson March 2nd I'm sorry, March,
(07:28):
March 24, 1994.
And Elgin Baylor scored 71points on November 15, 1960.
And then, after that, you haveLuca Donchip, who put up 60
points, 20 rebounds, 10 assistson December 27, 2022.
(07:50):
And he is the only player inhistory to put up 60, 20, and 10
in one game.
Wow, Praise God, NBA is tryingto step up their game.
Wow, Praise the Lord, NBA istrying to step up their game.
Good, I mean, I don't know, Idon't watch basketball enough.
(08:19):
I don't watch it either, but Imight start watching after that.
That does sound enticing.
I mean, I guess I do.
I'd be watching the highlightsall the time.
That's why I thought I sawsomething.
I saw something.
(08:39):
The points you put up werenothing of it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And you'd be crazy.
You would think that MichaelJordan would be up there.
He's not up there.
You'd think some of these otherguys like Dr Julius Irvin would
be there.
Dr J, he'd be up there.
You'd think all these otherincredible, famous, well-known
(09:00):
Hall of Famers would be up there.
But no, they're not.
It's Will Chamberlain.
Four fucking times thatmotherfucker.
Will Chamberlain was Like amonster in his day.
But here's the thing KareemAbdul-Jabbar was a monster and I
don't think he scored 70.
He's not on the list.
That's crazy.
(09:20):
Yeah, you're right about thatone.
The room was a monster too.
Yeah, Wow.
(09:43):
So I got one of these strangestories in sports, right, and
this story.
When I read it I was like damn.
This is about the NFL.
So you know, I was like damn.
And then you wonder why playerstry to, you know, fuck the
organization by trying to get asmuch money as possible in their
(10:05):
deals and not even trying togive a friendly discount.
You know what I'm saying?
Because you know playersunderstand that if you spend all
this money on me, it's going tobe hard to build a team around
me because there's no money toallocate to everybody else.
But after reading this I waslike fuck the organizations,
fuck the teams, Like yo what yougot to get, Because, in all
(10:26):
actuality, they don't give ashit about you.
And this, this story, is a bigpile of I don't give a shit
about you.
Okay, you ready, All right,Okay, so Titans this is the
Tennessee Titans, right?
That organization parted wayswith their 6'7" three-time Pro
(10:52):
Bowl.
Let me repeat this 6'7"three-time Pro Bowl.
Let me repeat this 6'7"three-time Pro Bowl.
Now, if you don't know what aPro Bowler is, a Pro Bowler is
one of the best positionalplayers of that year.
So if you played exceptionalthat year in that position,
you'd go to the Pro Bowl, whichis equivalent to like, let's say
, Major League Baseball andNBA's All-Star game.
(11:15):
That's their All-Star, you arethe All-Star of that position
and you're going there to playwith other All-Stars in other
positions.
Right, yeah, so he's athree-time Pro Bowler.
What were you going to say?
No, no, I'm like okay, that'sthe All-Star of the all-stars, I
(11:37):
got you.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
So he's a three-time Pro Bowler and he has been with
the Titans for nine years, andthis man who I'm talking about
is known as Taylor LeJuan.
Taylor LeJuan, three-time ProBowler, 6'7", plays for the
Titans for nine years.
So they decide to split ways,go separate ways.
You know, Taylor LeJuan isgoing to go somewhere else and
(12:04):
Titans are going to continuetrying to rebuild their team and
try to make it to a Super Bowl.
So the organization, on the dayof the split, what they did is
that they packed up all ofTaylor LeJuan's stuff, all his
belongings that were at the campor at the stadium.
What they did is that theypacked up all of Taylor LeJuan's
stuff, all his belongings thatwere at the camp or at the
stadium, whatever and theybrought his belongings, they
packed it up in a garbage bagand they brought it to his house
(12:26):
and dumped the garbage bag onhis front porch as a sign of us
parting ways.
Wow, Taylor could not believethis act of disgustiness,
disgustingness, and he tookpictures of this and sent a
(12:48):
shout out to the Titans onTwitter about their
unprofessionalism.
Wow, about theirunprofessionalism.
Wow, Mad, disrespectful, Mad,disrespectful.
Again, let me repeat this thatmotherfucker played for the
(13:11):
Titans for nine years was athree-time Pro Bowl, that he was
very, very good in his positionand that's how they treat him
yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
It would be.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
NFL, that's true.
I mean, hey, not all NFL teamsdo things like this, but this
team did, and they did it tosomeone who put in a lot of his
blood, sweat and tears on theorganization's success and
that's how they treated it.
(13:50):
Yeah, that's fucking crazy,fucking crazy.
Yeah, that is crazy.
Wow, like that's, that's likeyou couldn't like talk to the
dude about it first.
(14:11):
Like, yeah, I'll bring yourstuff over.
You know, I don't know, man,even like to be honest with you,
even if you leave on bad termslike that's not.
that's not.
That's not professional, bro,like you're an organization
You're supposed to.
You know you represent the NFL.
Yeah, exactly Like that's nothow you.
(14:35):
Representing you.
You you know, yeah, you'reabsolutely right, that's not how
you do people.
You know your staff, youremployees, your, your players.
That's not how you do them.
Yeah, I totally agree with that.
That's crazy.
I'll tell you bullshit rightnow.
It is bullshit.
(15:01):
So I'm going to bring upanother story and this might be
this might associate with you alittle bit more right.
This is about Le'Veon Bell.
If you don't know who Le'VeonBell is, he's a former
Pittsburgh Steelers running backand he recently came out in an
(15:26):
interview admitting that hewould smoke marijuana before
playing his game, before playinghis game, and he stated in the
interview that it helped himfocus and produce 150-yard games
and two TD games while he waswith the organization, the
Pittsburgh Steelers.
Even though he smoked beforeevery game, he only got popped
(15:51):
twice for violating the NFLsubstance abuse program, which
is crazy.
Okay, so I need to questionthis substance abuse thing, the
testing protocol, because thismotherfucker clearly smoked
every fucking game before gameand you still couldn't pop him,
(16:13):
like only twice.
Dude, what the fuck are youguys doing?
Yo, come on, they wasn'tlooking for that.
That's what it was.
Yeah, they probably wasn'tlooking at all.
No, they wasn't looking forthat.
But it's crazy because he's notthe only player, or let me say
(16:38):
the only athlete, that's everdone a recreational drug before
they play their prospectivesport.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure I meansome players some time back.
I don't think they do like asmuch as a little bit to get them
(17:01):
going, they're just mind maybe.
Maybe you're right, but to behonest, you, I don't see Le'Veon
Bell just taking one or twohits.
I think he's going to finishhalf the blunt at least before
the game.
(17:22):
If that's where all the thingsare going to go, then yeah, I
agree with that.
That should be popped.
That should come up in the test.
Yeah, I guess a half a bluntevery game, that's true.
Well, like I said, other famousathletes used substances before
(17:42):
the games.
One was the world famousMichael Phelps, who's an
eight-time Olympic gold medalistswimmer was caught smoking weed
.
Obviously you know what I'msaying.
They made memes about this dudesmoking weed.
Obviously you know what I'msaying.
Like yo, they made memes aboutthis dude smoking weed yeah yeah
, I think.
(18:04):
What was it that he was on?
He was in the box of weedies.
He was on weedies, yeah, he was.
Another athlete was pitcher DocEllis, who pitched a no-hitter
in 1970 against the San DiegoPadres and he admitted to taking
(18:26):
LSD on this specific game.
He said that he tripped so damnhard that he thought he was
pitching to Jimi Hendrix and toJimi Hendrix and that Jimi
Hendrix was swinging a guitar tohit the fucking ball and that's
why he kept missing the ball,because he can't swing his
goddamn guitar.
(18:46):
Like, how hard are you tripping?
Like that's a hard trip, bro.
Yo, now, that should have beencaught.
Like, do you know how hard it isto pitch a no-hitter when
you're sober?
Yeah, on LSE.
(19:07):
Now, do you know how hard it isto pitch a no-hitter when
you're high?
Now, this motherfucker wasn'tsober, he wasn't high.
That motherfucker was on LSD,which is a different level of
(19:29):
shit.
Do you know how hard it is topitch on LSD?
That motherfucker took it to a.
He was like yo, I gotta up thislevel, bro.
Well, clearly, clearly, thatdude was motherfucking focused
with that shit.
Focus is not the word.
(19:49):
He thought we didn't start, Iain't pitching.
You know you're hyper-focusedwhen you're pitching to Jimi
Hendrix.
Yeah, well, jimi Hendrix openedhis third eye.
That's what happened.
Imagine that, bro.
You got nine innings and yougot three batters in each inning
(20:11):
At the minimum three batters ineach inning.
He pitched the whole game.
Yeah, he pitched a no-hitter.
That means he pitched the wholegame.
No hits.
It was all pop-outs andground-outs, it was all outs.
Nobody got a hit.
And he did it on every team andevery batter who got on home
(20:39):
plate to hit the ball wasmotherfucking Jimmy Hendrix.
That is a wild fucking trip,bro.
That is wild.
Yes, it is.
I wonder if Jimmy Hendrixgingwas wearing different outfits.
I wonder if he was wearingdifferent outfits, bro.
(21:01):
Imagine he had differenthairstyles, different guitars,
because Jimmy Hedging dressedwild back in those days.
Yeah, that makes the trip evenharder.
Yo, that must have been nuts,and the guitars are a different
color every time.
So, yeah, so you know, new yorkfans will remember this next
(21:27):
person who I'm gonna bring up.
Right, but this guy, darylstrawberry, who was a four-time
world series champion, used todo lines of cocaine before
playing his goddamn game.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
That motherfucker was a hard.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Home run hitter too.
But now you know he had thatextra ump In his nose.
He was always ready.
He was always ready.
He was ready.
If he needed a pick-me-up,you'd just take a bump in the
dugout.
Yep, Take the bump and theregoes the bump.
(22:11):
Okay, so, so tennis star AndreAgassi.
You should be familiar with hisname, right?
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Andre.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Agassi, agassi, sorry , I said it wrong, sorry.
Andre Agassi, in 1997, failed adrug test, right.
So they found him in 1997.
They were like boom, yo, you'retainted, you can't play.
Then they questioned him.
They were like yo, whathappened?
(22:48):
Why did you get popped on thistest?
He's like well, I take crystalmeth all the time.
I've been doing it my wholecareer.
You just got me now, yo, deadserious.

admitted to being high oncrystal meth during his career.

(24:41):
hitting 90s and he was hittingit consistently, on a regular
basis and he could throw a 90from the first inning to the
last inning.
He was just throwing heat allthe time.
That's what made him famous.
You know what I'm saying?
Well, this motherfucker wasliterally.
I remember he got caught takinga bump of cocaine during the
(25:01):
game.
Before throwing the pitch, hehad the bump on his fucking hand
and the ball he's like.
He's like he's saying thecatcher, stop time, he'll throw
(25:21):
a slider.
He's like shaking his head.

emulate how serious this was,they gave him CPR for nine
minutes before he was you know.

Those guys, that shit was likefor them.
I mean, even though it was nineminutes for them fucking
(03:41):
applying CPR and rotating andswitching off and stuff like
that.
That felt like fucking ninehours.
I can imagine.
You know, I can only imaginethat's crazy.
Yeah, so just I just wanted togive a shout out to the NFL's
medical staff for doing a greatjob at a freak accident.
(04:05):
That never really happens.
This is not something that theypractice doing on a regular
basis.
You know what I'm saying.
To shoot out to the field anddo this and do that and get an
ambulance on the field and stuff.
They.
Usually, when there's an injuryinjury, they cut the person off
(04:26):
.
They had time to do stuff.
They didn't have no time withthis situation with the more
Hamlin, and their reaction wasimmediately immediately.
That's beautiful, thank God.
So let's move on to somebasketball, right?
(04:51):
So in January 2nd of 2023,donovan Mitchell had an
incredible scoring feat when heplayed against the Bulls that
night.
The dude scored 71 points in asingle game.
Nice, that's fire.
(05:12):
And what makes it amazing isthat only seven players in the
history have scored 70 points ormore, and he's included in that
.
Seven, seven, seven people.
Points or more, and he'sincluded in that.
Seven, seven, seven people.
Yeah, I think Michael Jordan.
(05:38):
Michael Jordan is not on thatlist.
Oh, but go ahead, give me namesthat you think would be on the
70 plus.
I think I saw it.
Who was it?
Also, I think it was.
No, I didn't see.
Did I see Magic Johnson?
Magic Johnson was not on it.
I'll tell you yes or no.
Okay, I don't know.
(06:01):
I think I saw the wrong one.
Sorry, I thought it was MagicJohnson.
Was it Larry Bird on that?
No, it wasn't Larry.
This dude from the Warriors wason it too, rice, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
I don't know Go ahead .
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Go ahead, All right.
Well, Wilt Chamberlain.
Wilt Chamberlain did it fourtimes.
He scored 100 points on March2nd 1962.
He scored 78 points on December8th 1961.
73 points on November 16th 1962.
He also scored 73 points onJanuary 13th 1962.
(06:44):
He also scored 73 points onJanuary 13, 1962.
And he scored 72 points onNovember 3, 1962.
As you can see, 1962 was WillChamberlain's fucking year.
Yeah, Kobe Bryant scored 81points in January 22nd of 2006.
(07:08):
Okay, David Thompson scored 73points on April 9th 1978.
David Robinson scored 71 pointson March 2nd I'm sorry, March,
(07:28):
March 24, 1994.
And Elgin Baylor scored 71points on November 15, 1960.
And then, after that, you haveLuca Donchip, who put up 60
points, 20 rebounds, 10 assistson December 27, 2022.
(07:50):
And he is the only player inhistory to put up 60, 20, and 10
in one game.
Wow, Praise God, NBA is tryingto step up their game.
Wow, Praise the Lord, NBA istrying to step up their game.
Good, I mean, I don't know, Idon't watch basketball enough.
(08:19):
I don't watch it either, but Imight start watching after that.
That does sound enticing.
I mean, I guess I do.
I'd be watching the highlightsall the time.
That's why I thought I sawsomething.
I saw something.
(08:39):
The points you put up werenothing of it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And you'd be crazy.
You would think that MichaelJordan would be up there.
He's not up there.
You'd think some of these otherguys like Dr Julius Irvin would
be there.
Dr J, he'd be up there.
You'd think all these otherincredible, famous, well-known
(09:00):
Hall of Famers would be up there.
But no, they're not.
It's Will Chamberlain.
Four fucking times thatmotherfucker.
Will Chamberlain was Like amonster in his day.
But here's the thing KareemAbdul-Jabbar was a monster and I
don't think he scored 70.
He's not on the list.
That's crazy.
(09:20):
Yeah, you're right about thatone.
The room was a monster too.
Yeah, Wow.
(09:43):
So I got one of these strangestories in sports, right, and
this story.
When I read it I was like damn.
This is about the NFL.
So you know, I was like damn.
And then you wonder why playerstry to, you know, fuck the
organization by trying to get asmuch money as possible in their
(10:05):
deals and not even trying togive a friendly discount.
You know what I'm saying?
Because you know playersunderstand that if you spend all
this money on me, it's going tobe hard to build a team around
me because there's no money toallocate to everybody else.
But after reading this I waslike fuck the organizations,
fuck the teams, Like yo what yougot to get, Because, in all
(10:26):
actuality, they don't give ashit about you.
And this, this story, is a bigpile of I don't give a shit
about you.
Okay, you ready, All right,Okay, so Titans this is the
Tennessee Titans, right?
That organization parted wayswith their 6'7" three-time Pro
(10:52):
Bowl.
Let me repeat this 6'7"three-time Pro Bowl.
Let me repeat this 6'7"three-time Pro Bowl.
Now, if you don't know what aPro Bowler is, a Pro Bowler is
one of the best positionalplayers of that year.
So if you played exceptionalthat year in that position,
you'd go to the Pro Bowl, whichis equivalent to like, let's say
, Major League Baseball andNBA's All-Star game.
(11:15):
That's their All-Star, you arethe All-Star of that position
and you're going there to playwith other All-Stars in other
positions.
Right, yeah, so he's athree-time Pro Bowler.
What were you going to say?
No, no, I'm like okay, that'sthe All-Star of the all-stars, I
(11:37):
got you.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
So he's a three-time Pro Bowler and he has been with
the Titans for nine years, andthis man who I'm talking about
is known as Taylor LeJuan.
Taylor LeJuan, three-time ProBowler, 6'7", plays for the
Titans for nine years.
So they decide to split ways,go separate ways.
You know, Taylor LeJuan isgoing to go somewhere else and
(12:04):
Titans are going to continuetrying to rebuild their team and
try to make it to a Super Bowl.
So the organization, on the dayof the split, what they did is
that they packed up all ofTaylor LeJuan's stuff, all his
belongings that were at the campor at the stadium.
What they did is that theypacked up all of Taylor LeJuan's
stuff, all his belongings thatwere at the camp or at the
stadium, whatever and theybrought his belongings, they
packed it up in a garbage bagand they brought it to his house
(12:26):
and dumped the garbage bag onhis front porch as a sign of us
parting ways.
Wow, Taylor could not believethis act of disgustiness,
disgustingness, and he tookpictures of this and sent a
(12:48):
shout out to the Titans onTwitter about their
unprofessionalism.
Wow, about theirunprofessionalism.
Wow, Mad, disrespectful, Mad,disrespectful.
Again, let me repeat this thatmotherfucker played for the
(13:11):
Titans for nine years was athree-time Pro Bowl, that he was
very, very good in his positionand that's how they treat him
yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
It would be.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
NFL, that's true.
I mean, hey, not all NFL teamsdo things like this, but this
team did, and they did it tosomeone who put in a lot of his
blood, sweat and tears on theorganization's success and
that's how they treated it.
(13:50):
Yeah, that's fucking crazy,fucking crazy.
Yeah, that is crazy.
Wow, like that's, that's likeyou couldn't like talk to the
dude about it first.
(14:11):
Like, yeah, I'll bring yourstuff over.
You know, I don't know, man,even like to be honest with you,
even if you leave on bad termslike that's not.
that's not.
That's not professional, bro,like you're an organization
You're supposed to.
You know you represent the NFL.
Yeah, exactly Like that's nothow you.
(14:35):
Representing you.
You you know, yeah, you'reabsolutely right, that's not how
you do people.
You know your staff, youremployees, your, your players.
That's not how you do them.
Yeah, I totally agree with that.
That's crazy.
I'll tell you bullshit rightnow.
It is bullshit.
(15:01):
So I'm going to bring upanother story and this might be
this might associate with you alittle bit more right.
This is about Le'Veon Bell.
If you don't know who Le'VeonBell is, he's a former
Pittsburgh Steelers running backand he recently came out in an
(15:26):
interview admitting that hewould smoke marijuana before
playing his game, before playinghis game, and he stated in the
interview that it helped himfocus and produce 150-yard games
and two TD games while he waswith the organization, the
Pittsburgh Steelers.
Even though he smoked beforeevery game, he only got popped
(15:51):
twice for violating the NFLsubstance abuse program, which
is crazy.
Okay, so I need to questionthis substance abuse thing, the
testing protocol, because thismotherfucker clearly smoked
every fucking game before gameand you still couldn't pop him,
(16:13):
like only twice.
Dude, what the fuck are youguys doing?
Yo, come on, they wasn'tlooking for that.
That's what it was.
Yeah, they probably wasn'tlooking at all.
No, they wasn't looking forthat.
But it's crazy because he's notthe only player, or let me say
(16:38):
the only athlete, that's everdone a recreational drug before
they play their prospectivesport.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure I meansome players some time back.
I don't think they do like asmuch as a little bit to get them
(17:01):
going, they're just mind maybe.
Maybe you're right, but to behonest, you, I don't see Le'Veon
Bell just taking one or twohits.
I think he's going to finishhalf the blunt at least before
the game.
(17:22):
If that's where all the thingsare going to go, then yeah, I
agree with that.
That should be popped.
That should come up in the test.
Yeah, I guess a half a bluntevery game, that's true.
Well, like I said, other famousathletes used substances before
(17:42):
the games.
One was the world famousMichael Phelps, who's an
eight-time Olympic gold medalistswimmer was caught smoking weed
.
Obviously you know what I'msaying.
They made memes about this dudesmoking weed.
Obviously you know what I'msaying.
Like yo, they made memes aboutthis dude smoking weed yeah yeah
, I think.
(18:04):
What was it that he was on?
He was in the box of weedies.
He was on weedies, yeah, he was.
Another athlete was pitcher DocEllis, who pitched a no-hitter
in 1970 against the San DiegoPadres and he admitted to taking
(18:26):
LSD on this specific game.
He said that he tripped so damnhard that he thought he was
pitching to Jimi Hendrix and toJimi Hendrix and that Jimi
Hendrix was swinging a guitar tohit the fucking ball and that's
why he kept missing the ball,because he can't swing his
goddamn guitar.
(18:46):
Like, how hard are you tripping?
Like that's a hard trip, bro.
Yo, now, that should have beencaught.
Like, do you know how hard it isto pitch a no-hitter when
you're sober?
Yeah, on LSE.
(19:07):
Now, do you know how hard it isto pitch a no-hitter when
you're high?
Now, this motherfucker wasn'tsober, he wasn't high.
That motherfucker was on LSD,which is a different level of
(19:29):
shit.
Do you know how hard it is topitch on LSD?
That motherfucker took it to a.
He was like yo, I gotta up thislevel, bro.
Well, clearly, clearly, thatdude was motherfucking focused
with that shit.
Focus is not the word.
(19:49):
He thought we didn't start, Iain't pitching.
You know you're hyper-focusedwhen you're pitching to Jimi
Hendrix.
Yeah, well, jimi Hendrix openedhis third eye.
That's what happened.
Imagine that, bro.
You got nine innings and yougot three batters in each inning
(20:11):
At the minimum three batters ineach inning.
He pitched the whole game.
Yeah, he pitched a no-hitter.
That means he pitched the wholegame.
No hits.
It was all pop-outs andground-outs, it was all outs.
Nobody got a hit.
And he did it on every team andevery batter who got on home
(20:39):
plate to hit the ball wasmotherfucking Jimmy Hendrix.
That is a wild fucking trip,bro.
That is wild.
Yes, it is.
I wonder if Jimmy Hendrixgingwas wearing different outfits.
I wonder if he was wearingdifferent outfits, bro.
(21:01):
Imagine he had differenthairstyles, different guitars,
because Jimmy Hedging dressedwild back in those days.
Yeah, that makes the trip evenharder.
Yo, that must have been nuts,and the guitars are a different
color every time.
So, yeah, so you know, new yorkfans will remember this next
(21:27):
person who I'm gonna bring up.
Right, but this guy, darylstrawberry, who was a four-time
world series champion, used todo lines of cocaine before
playing his goddamn game.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
That motherfucker was a hard.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Home run hitter too.
But now you know he had thatextra ump In his nose.
He was always ready.
He was always ready.
He was ready.
If he needed a pick-me-up,you'd just take a bump in the
dugout.
Yep, Take the bump and theregoes the bump.
(22:11):
Okay, so, so tennis star AndreAgassi.
You should be familiar with hisname, right?
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Andre.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Agassi, agassi, sorry , I said it wrong, sorry.
Andre Agassi, in 1997, failed adrug test, right.
So they found him in 1997.
They were like boom, yo, you'retainted, you can't play.
Then they questioned him.
They were like yo, whathappened?
(22:48):
Why did you get popped on thistest?
He's like well, I take crystalmeth all the time.
I've been doing it my wholecareer.
You just got me now, yo, deadserious.
(23:09):
This is what, verbatim, this iswhat the article said.
The article said whenquestioned about his test, he
admitted to being high oncrystal meth during his career.
Wow, this motherfucker was theUnited States tennis star.
He was like the next JohnMcEnroe.
(23:31):
And the motherfucker was on theworst, nastiest drug ever

Like this guy was hitting 90sbefore anybody was really
(24:41):
hitting 90s and he was hittingit consistently, on a regular
basis and he could throw a 90from the first inning to the
last inning.
He was just throwing heat allthe time.
That's what made him famous.
You know what I'm saying?
Well, this motherfucker wasliterally.
I remember he got caught takinga bump of cocaine during the
(25:01):
game.
Before throwing the pitch, hehad the bump on his fucking hand
and the ball he's like.
He's like he's saying thecatcher, stop time, he'll throw
(25:21):
a slider.
He's like shaking his head.
