(01:19):
of you out there, don't, by the way, anybody listening
on the blow torch am five to seventy LA Sports
for a full recap and in depth dive of that game.
We're turning over to none other than Petros Papadeka is
coming up in about twenty minutes from now, so I'm
sure he'll be nothing but positive about that whole situation.
But when it comes to the Ja Morant situation, which
was Levar's ugly and our Good, Bad and Ugly a short.
Speaker 5 (01:41):
Time ago, I mean, would you guys agree, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
It's not a great look, not a great look for
anybody involved. And so now the conversation turns to what
happens now, Yeah.
Speaker 6 (01:50):
That's a great and that's don't you guys feel like
that is a significantly great question? How harsh should the
penalty be? Again, whether people want to acknowledge this or not,
you could be as offended by this as you like
you could kiss my ass. It is a privilege to
(02:13):
be able to make the type of money that guys
make playing professional sports.
Speaker 5 (02:19):
Not it is.
Speaker 6 (02:20):
It is not anything else, not a right, it's not
your right. It's a privilege. And with that, with that
being said, you earn the opportunity to be able to
be privileged enough to be compensated for playing a professional sport.
So when you when you make a mistake, you make
(02:44):
a mistake, you get reprimanded for it, you get a
penalty for it, you punished for it, you learn from it,
you show attrition, and is it attrition?
Speaker 5 (02:56):
Contrition? You show contrition.
Speaker 6 (02:58):
And and and you know, you show some remorse and
and and you show understanding that what you did was
incorrect and you're going to be better for it moving forward.
Speaker 5 (03:11):
When you don't do.
Speaker 6 (03:12):
That to me, you're disqualifying. You're right, you're disqualifying that
privilege to be able to participate like and and I
don't I don't find that to be egregious. I don't
find that to be too aggressive. To do this two
times in the amount of time that he's done it,
I wouldn't be sure I would. I would seriously think
(03:35):
that the NBA should consider suspending him for a season,
not for a couple of games, for a season, And
you know what if you if you make this same
mistake again, then I mean, I think we got to
ban you from the league until further conversations need to
take place. But I don't think that with all of
(03:58):
the things that are going on as it applies to
firearms in America, and you don't need to be a
fricking brain surgeon to see all of the mass shootings
that are taking place and all of the gun violence
and all of the gun conversations that are taking place
in America. You don't have to be a rocket scientist
(04:20):
to see that this is part of what's going on
in our society right now.
Speaker 5 (04:26):
This is a problem.
Speaker 6 (04:28):
And you have a star warth, you have a megastar
who's brandishing a firearm and doing it recklessly and loosely
out here in these streets.
Speaker 5 (04:42):
If you want that.
Speaker 6 (04:43):
To be the example and the standard that you're setting
as the National Basketball Association, that you're you're okay with
one of your star employees doing this, then you know,
I think you have accept the consequences and the repercussions
that go along with you allowing for this to actually
(05:07):
be minimized and be okay. I don't think you can
minimize it, and I don't think you can allow for
it to just be okay. That's my that's my take
on it.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Well.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
Adam Silver, the commissioner of the NBA, was asked about
this last night on ESPN about his thoughts initially when
he saw the video and also what a potential punishment
or what the ramifications could be Here was the NBA commission.
Speaker 7 (05:31):
Honestly, I was shocked when I saw this weekend that video.
Now we're in the process of investigating it and we'll
figure out exactly what happened to the best we can.
Then it's again it's the videos of bit grainy and
all that, but I'm assuming the worst, you know, but
we'll figure out, you know, exactly what happened. The consequence
(05:53):
is there an eight game suspension was pretty serious and
something that he, at least to me, seemed to taken
credibly seriously in that time, and we spoke for a
long time about not just the consequences that could have
on his career, but the safety issues around it. Could
have injured, maim killed himself someone else with an act
(06:17):
like that, and also the acknowledgment that, as you said,
he's a star, I mean, he has an incredibly huge following,
and that my concern, and I thought he shared with
me that millions of not tens of millions of kids
globally would see him as having done something that was
(06:39):
celebrating in a way.
Speaker 6 (06:41):
You know that that act, I mean, if you're celebrating
being a thug, is what he wanted to say. Like,
let's just be clear what he was trying to dance around,
because culturally speaking, he doesn't want to get canceled by
canceled culture. But the whole words thug, that's synonymous with
anytime somebody of color does something incorrect. He didn't want
(07:05):
he wanted to dance around it. But be clear, Jahn
Moran is doing things with a firearm that portrays him
in the light of being a thug, period. And if
you want to be offended by a black man saying
another black man is doing acts that portray them in
(07:25):
the light and in the way of being a thug,
be my guest, I have absolutely zero issue with it.
If you got a problem with me because I'm saying it,
be my guest, have a problem with me. Because you
know what chances are, you're probably a thug two or
you harbor one, you raised one, you own one, whatever
it may be, you got one on your hands. If
you got a problem with what I'm saying, because if
(07:48):
you're okay with what Jah Moran is doing and damaging
his career the way that he's doing it, unnecessarily, unneeded, unwarranted,
for no reason whatsover, That's what Silver wanted to say.
If we're being real about it, if we're going to
keep it one hundred percent a buck from the hip,
that's the problem here. He makes himself look like a thug.
(08:12):
He makes your league look like you're condoning having thugs
in your league.
Speaker 5 (08:19):
Period.
Speaker 6 (08:20):
That's what he wanted to say without getting canceled, so
he couldn't say it the way he wanted to say it.
But I'll say here on two pros and a cup
of Joe, that's what he meant. That's what he wanted
to say, and he would not have been incorrect in saying.
Speaker 5 (08:34):
So, Adam Silver's got to lay the hammer down.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Yeah, I was going to take a little different approach
to this in talking about it, in the sense that
of all the commissioners. Adam Silver tries to be the
good guy. He tries to be friends with everyone, He
tries to be likable. Where's that got in the NBA?
In all seriousness, Like, if I was an NBA owner,
(08:58):
I would be so incredibly on Adam Silver to be
like Roger Goodell. And the interesting thing about Rodger Godell's
he's very polarizing. Most people don't like him, or maybe
there's some hatred towards it, if you want to use
that word. But the truth of the matter is the
NFL is by far and away the most healthy and
(09:19):
best professional sport in America, maybe even the world, And
in large part you can look at the success and
the way it's pulled away from other professional sports and
attributed to when Roger Godell.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Took over as commissioner.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
He's stern with how he's handled matters like this and
a player conduct policy which was always within the collective
bardiing agreement, mind you, the commissioner's powers to do what
he has done.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
What Roger Godell has done to discipline players.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
It was always in there, it was never enforced the
way Roger Goodell has and maybe even he's led up
to some degree over the years as they've encounter are
different obstacles, but he has put the NFL in this
position because he's taken on the villain role where he's
(10:10):
okay being booed by the masses when he walks out
during the draft, or booed when he walks into a stadium,
or where merch is made about him, you know, with
a clown nose, whatever the case, he's okay with that.
You won't to know why because he's being paid a
ridiculous amount of money to run the best professional sports
league in America, and he's okay with being the villain.
(10:32):
He's okay with being the bad guy. He's okay with
doing the work that has to be done in order
to make sure every single owner is happy. If there's
any issue with a player in their conduct, it's gonna
be it's gonna be addressed, it's gonna be handled. It
may not always be perfect, because every scenario is situation
is unique, and there's legal matters that play a role too,
(10:52):
as along with the judicial system that plays a role.
But you couldn't find, in my opinion too for their
commissioners in the manner in which they handle themselves, where
Adam Silver just wants to be liked by everyone, which
just wants to get along. And Roger Goodell could give
two craps. He could care less because he knows there's
(11:14):
stars coming up every single year in the league, which
you could make the case, yeah, the NBA stars tend
to last a little bit longer and they've got more sway,
but in part because there hasn't been that line drawn.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
There hasn't and this isn't.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
This is an area specifically that Adam Silver should put
his foot down and be cognizant of everything else, like
LaVar is talking about that's going on in our country,
in our society and start trying to become a bad guy.
And whether that fits him or not, so be it.
But if I was, I don't know even who the
(11:52):
strongest owners are in the NBA, but I'd be calling
him right now and being like, you gotta do something
about this, like before may happens with John Morant or
another athlete, because that's the other thing. What happens when
you allow John Moran to continue this pattern, It only
opens up then the possibility of other players to follow suit.
(12:12):
Knowing that these are the repercussions they're gonna face. Adam
Silver is gonna potentially set a precedent one way or another,
whether he punishes John Morant and the length of which
he does it, or if.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
He doesn't and he lets him off soft.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
You're gonna find other players that eventually find themselves in
this situation and they're gonna say, well, I know I
can get away with it because we've got a soft commissioner.
He's not gonna punish me the way it was if
it was a different professional sport. I mean, that's the
other thing that needs to be factored in here is
at some point Adam Silver has to put his foot
down and he can't be everyone's friend.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
He's got to be the commissioner of the NBA.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
What's your best guess? What do you guys think he
gets popped for? I think no less than fifty games.
I just I just think as serious as this is now,
it was.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
It was.
Speaker 6 (13:05):
Shocking the first time, and you take it for what
it's worth at face value. The kid made a mistake.
He's still maturing, you know, he might still be entertaining
the whole you know, his crew type of crew love
type deal. Like all, he made a mistake, but after
knowing the severity, which that's that is certainly silver and
(13:30):
the NBA's that should have been their main priority is
to make sure that this is seriously handled and they
understand the magnitude of what he did, and others, as
Q mentioned, others in the league should understand the seriousness,
seriousness and nature of what he's done. And and you
(13:51):
give him, you give him the suspension that you gave
him for him to come back and do it again
and just casually be on social media and this time,
first time you was holding your strap. You're holding a gun,
but you weren't holding it with your finger on the trigger.
He was holding the gun this time on camera. This time,
(14:12):
if you catch it on the live this time, he's
holding it this time, he's got it. He's got it.
He's got it handled this time. Yeah, Yeah, he holding
it like that. If you don't suspend him for a year,
and and make it an example of saying this is
you should really have zero tolerance for that type of behavior.
Speaker 5 (14:35):
You really should. You should have zero tolerance.
Speaker 6 (14:38):
So if you don't suspend him for a year for
the season based off of the severity and nature of
what he did, for the second time, because now he knows,
then you have failed to let him know or help
him understand the severity and nature of what he did
as an infraction the first time. And that is now
(14:59):
a that is a criticism, that is something that is
going to fall at the feet of the commissioner and
of the league. And if that's what you want, then
you don't suspend him for a year.
Speaker 5 (15:13):
If you want to, if you want to invite.
Speaker 6 (15:15):
That scrutiny and that criticism and on what is you
have going on in how you run your operation, then
then you take a light on them. But to me,
it's got to be no less than a year and
understanding that if you ever do something of this nature again,
now moving forward, you out of the league.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
You're gone. This is worse. This is way worse than
failing a drug test. Is worse.
Speaker 6 (15:40):
You're basically you're condoning violence. You're a star of a league,
and you're condoning death. Like hello, guns equal death. Death,
the way you're doing it, the way you're glorifying holding
that strap, you're glorifying violence.
Speaker 5 (16:00):
Hello.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
Well, I think Gilbert Areenas got suspended for a year
when he brought guns to the locker room in Washington.
Were you in Washington?
Speaker 2 (16:08):
I was there.
Speaker 4 (16:09):
I think he got suspended for a year. So there
has been a precedent.
Speaker 6 (16:12):
And go figure, and that was a dude he was
beefing with with them guns career, the in Creadin or
whatever is that Crittinton?
Speaker 5 (16:20):
Yeah? What ended up happening with him?
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (16:23):
He went away? Yeah, pay attention. If you're showing that,
that's the type of character you have. If you're showing
that's the type of person you are. Look at the correlation.
What about the other one, the dude that played for
the nets, that that had the history of dealing with
guns and messing with guns ended up? Didn't he shoot
his dog and then and then ended up doing something
else and then jacked up as the car driver or
(16:47):
something like that. Jason Jason William Come on, man. And
then it's always it's always, oh, that's too extreme, that's
too extreme. The critington, look up, criton, tell me what
happened with Crittinton. It had to it was something for
what for what y'all want to talk about? I'm overreacting. Okay,
(17:07):
what did he do? Okay, there we go, there we go.
I happen to study a little sociology and minded then
a little psychology while I was in school, just so
we're clear on the fact that I do break down
psycho analytical and mental emotional makeups of how people handle
(17:30):
things and what they do. And if you're jacking up
animals and stuff like that, you could be a serial killer,
and all these different things that go into the mental
makeup of why people do the things that they do.
And the one thing that you always learn when you're
studying things about how people are emotionally and mentally, how
they're wired. You don't think they're crazy until they show
(17:52):
you they're crazy. You don't think they're a killer until
they show you they're a killer. You don't even know
if you're walking around somebody who who who does some
of the most heinous acts or does some of the
most valent acts and different things like that. You don't
know until you see it happen. So if you're sitting
there and you're thinking, oh, this is too light, or
you're taking this way too seriously, or you're going way
(18:14):
down a lane that you shouldn't go down, no I'm not,
because these are the very people they showed you who
they were they showed you who they were, and you
didn't pay attention to it. You didn't make a decision
based off of the person that they showed you who
they were. And the saying goes and always remain true.
If a person shows you who they are, believe them.
(18:35):
He's showing you who he is.
Speaker 4 (18:37):
Bottom line, Two Pros and a Cup of Joe here
Fox Sports Radio, LaVar Arrington, Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox with
the can hang out with us as always on the

Speaker 8 (18:54):

a Cup of Joe with Brady Quinn, LeVar Rington and
Jonas Knox weekdays at six am Eastern, three am Pacific

Speaker 4 (19:08):
Two Pros and a Cup of Joe here on Fox
Sports Radio. So coming up, we are going to have
the BQ News in a little over fifteen minutes from
now from the Tirak dot com studios. But right now
we welcome in the old p on Twitter. He is
Petros Papadeikas. He is the co host of the Petros
and Money Show on the blowtorch Am five to seven
e LA Sports. Also a Fox College football analyst as well.
(19:29):
Good Morning Pee. Condolences in advance for.
Speaker 5 (19:32):
What well the Lakers lost to the Wake Show. Sorry man, Sorry, sorry, Petros,
Sorry man.
Speaker 9 (19:38):
You know, you don't see a lot of headlines when
a team loses a game. That Lakers lose, but they
feel good about the second half. It would you write
that if Denver lost? Yeah, probably not. You know, Petros
Jonas said that to start the show. He really was
clinging to that narrative.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
And that's where I had to push back a little
bit because I'm like, you got your ass kick basically
for the first half into the third quarter, and it
was the fourth quarter where you dominated. But I mean,
what does that mean when you lose any adjustments?
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Brady? You just don't understand.
Speaker 9 (20:12):
Right, There's everybody becomes naysmith this time of year. We've
ignored the NBA, and now we're like, well, if they
move Hachima over to Jokich, there you go, they found
something and all that and that could very well be true.
(20:33):
I mean, I don't know I'm not Hubie Brown, but
I think it'll be an exciting series, and who knows.
I think the Lakers can win it or the Nuggets, okay,
because one or the other is going to win. But
the reaction to every moment on social media and then
(20:55):
the headlines about.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
These series is is pretty interesting.
Speaker 9 (20:59):
And I don't remember it being like this when I
was young, and like the Lakers and Celtics would be
going back and forth with Robert Parrish and Kareem you
know what I mean. I don't know if everybody on
social media would have been like they made a bunch
of lucky shots tonight.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
We're gonna win tomorrow.
Speaker 8 (21:15):
You know.
Speaker 9 (21:15):
It's like, okay, good luck to everybody involved. But yes,
the headlines are interesting because the Lakers are the Lakers,
and they're a brand that helps the NBA and they're
doing great. And Lebron is Lebron and he's a brand
that helps the NBA at least he used to be,
and the headline surrounding him get a lot of clicks,
(21:39):
just like it used to with Kobe. So I understand
the league's need to gussie up a loss or to
over celebrate a win, and maybe the Lakers will make
it to the NBA Finals, and we'll have another three
weeks of inundation and saturation.
Speaker 6 (21:56):
I mean, while we're still in NBA. Let me just
get this one out of the way. I'm curious as
what your take is on John Morant uh popping up
with with with a firearm once.
Speaker 9 (22:06):
I understand you know, Uh, I have urges too, and
one of them is when I'm on some kind of
social media live.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Or something, I want to wave a gun around. I understand.
Speaker 9 (22:18):
I don't know, it's a it's a desire inside that
you just you gotta wave a gun around if somebody's
taking a live video. It's just a certain kind of feeling. Yeah,
It's like when you get home from a long day
and you you're you itch, you itch until you have
that drink you know, or that beer or whatever.
Speaker 5 (22:37):
You reach for that gun or.
Speaker 9 (22:40):
That gun on social media, it's not enough to have
your gun and to wave it around.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
People have to see it waved around and that you know.
Speaker 9 (22:49):
It is a Jamaican thing. From what I understand, because
I consume so much Jamaican media that everybody loves waving
guns around in videos. In every Jamaican video I've ever seen,
but and there is something to it. It must feel great.
You know, I'm not a gun guy. I'm not against
(23:12):
everybody's guns either. I don't really know. They've always frightened me,
I think. But but waving a gun around on camera
must feel. It must be an irresistible feeling, you know, irresistible.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
It has to be.
Speaker 5 (23:31):
Times.
Speaker 9 (23:31):
Yeah, I mean it just it is an amazing thing
that he that that he cannot control himself from doing that,
or the thought process that would go through his mind
to do it.
Speaker 6 (23:44):
Like I'm going to remove my gun from wherever it
is I have it, and I'm going to show it.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Yeah, I want everybody to see this very interesting tendris.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
How many Jamaican videos where there flashing hand cannons do
you watch a week?
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Would you say, well, whatever comes out.
Speaker 9 (24:02):
So like he's like, you know, if there's a new
Tommy Lee Sparta song, I'm gonna check it out, you
know if in ten says it, Oh, there's a new
Jamaican artist called Hype Bastard Wow, and he's got a
song about something very popular in Jamaica which is terrible,
Which are lottery schemes where you know they call old
(24:25):
people in the United States and take advantage.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Of them and take their mind. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Yeah, they emails as well. I feel like there's there's
all like an email scheme.
Speaker 9 (24:33):
Yeah, those go through India. The Jamaicans will call you
and be like hello from the bank of the city bank. Okay,
what happened now, sir, you have lost all your money
and you must go.
Speaker 5 (24:51):
That's Jamaican.
Speaker 9 (24:52):
No, Jamaican's like China. Things are going out to street,
nobody gonna be at there.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
You go like, wow, that's suppressive.
Speaker 5 (25:02):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
You know what I mean when I say I'm on
fiss cool.
Speaker 5 (25:06):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
I have no idea what you're saying either.
Speaker 9 (25:09):
Neither do they, just because the language is constantly changing,
you know, like the Jamaican patois I learned in the
eighties from a nanny is different, you know, than than
it is now, you know, just like slang term right,
it is. But but at the same time it is
(25:29):
a language.
Speaker 6 (25:30):
Some words language, yeah, and some words are broken English really.
Speaker 9 (25:35):
I mean yes, it is, but some words are are
you know, Like what do you call a guy that
walks around in Jamaica? I mean a walk foot man,
a walk foot man like, like, you know, you just
put those three things together.
Speaker 4 (25:51):
Anyway, Petris, could I ask a request.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
I love the language.
Speaker 5 (25:55):
Simple request.
Speaker 4 (25:56):
We're not asking you to do Don Martin or Mike
Bone or any of these other guys.
Speaker 5 (26:01):
Simple requests.
Speaker 4 (26:02):
Can you break down and describe a full back dive
play in Jamaican?
Speaker 5 (26:08):
Mm hmmm mm hmm.
Speaker 9 (26:12):
Yeah, you're giving, You're giving the ball and then they
go into into the wall, the good wall, mired, mired
by the by the mandem demand them in in the
(26:32):
plastic outfit. Then I look to the fierce mask, the
ma guanza into the wall. You must protect the ball
with the arm full farm, no one arm runner man.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Well done, pat girls.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Oh man, I just like what I just I don't
want to hear anything else from you.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
This is a mez.
Speaker 9 (27:07):
This is like look, stop making me culturally appropriate people, now.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
I love Look. I love Jamaican culture.
Speaker 9 (27:16):
I collect the music for years and years and read
the newspaper and all that.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
So how living on the and being like growing up
and being raised in the West Coast, how did you
become so infatuated with with Jamaican culture?
Speaker 9 (27:30):
Well, I follow an Instagram feed called white Rasta pasta
it's all it's all white guys, so dreadlocks.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
Talking like that, you know, stealing ba ba ba la.
Noh we have.
Speaker 9 (27:44):
My parents ran a restaurant at night when I was
you know, around your kid's age, my kid's age. Uh
and uh. And we had a Jamaican danny for years.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
Uh. And we would.
Speaker 9 (27:58):
Listen to you know, not Bob Marley legend. We listened
to real Jamaican music. A lot of it I figured
out when I got older was recorded or done in Britain.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
But we listened a lot of that.
Speaker 9 (28:10):
And she taught us Jamaican culture and so but you know,
when she left, I remained interested in it. And when
we got old enough, my then and older brother, so
we would go to concerts and you know, we were
just where we were into it.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
It's a rough place, you know.
Speaker 9 (28:27):
It's if you read books about Jamaica, you understand what
they mean when they talk about political violence, like what
that is. You know, it's not a bunch of people
protesting with giant gauges in their ears.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
It's it's much different than that.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
Uh.
Speaker 9 (28:43):
And I don't know, I've always found a place interesting.
I have a giant Jamaican island poster in my room.
Speaker 5 (28:53):
What's the name of this Instagram.
Speaker 9 (28:54):
Account, White Rosta Pasta. You've never seen white Rosta bibe
that it's all like white hippie people with dreadlocks.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Okay, I'm looking at it now.
Speaker 9 (29:06):
I'm a bald head though, you know, or a or
a yes and a sum comb. You'd also maybe call
me which means sometimes I comb my hair, which means
I'm not a lot of people have misconceptions about Jamaica
that it is like an island of a bunch of
dreadlocked weed smokers around a gigantic bonfire. And the truth
(29:29):
is like maybe five percent of the population is Rastafarian,
which is, you know, like a Hari Krishna sort of
like somebody who is very adherent to the Old Testament
and all kinds of stuff like that and wears certain
clothes and lives in a certain kind of commune or whatever.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
And that is a misconception.
Speaker 5 (29:53):
It's fantastic that was thought. He was still going I was,
I was waiting for more.
Speaker 9 (29:57):
No, I'll tell you about the JLP and the PNP.
The Jamaican lately.
Speaker 6 (30:01):
Want to get into the Nazarites and all the well,
the stuff was going on.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
Twelve tribes of Israel.
Speaker 5 (30:07):
Come on, I thought it's gonna go deep.
Speaker 9 (30:08):
But you know, when Jamaica went to Jamaica, when England
gave them their independence, you had a huge struggle that
remains today between these two political parties, one of which
was controlled by the US or the CIA, the other
with a lot of influence from communist governments, including neighboring Cuba,
(30:32):
especially back in those days. And what they would do
is supply young people like twelve year old boys, yeah,
with m sixteen's and stuff, and just and wear a
certain colored T shirt, orange or green, and attack the
the other, the opposition supporting neighborhoods and get after each other.
(30:54):
And when you listen to a lot of the lyrics
of like reggae songs that white people will just be singing,
you know, like you know, uh, a lot of it
is about that. I couldn't believe the other day I was.
I was at that concert that I I host the
stream for in Redondo Beach called Beach Life, and Sublime
(31:15):
was up there.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
And they sang, you know.
Speaker 9 (31:19):
Be yasdy week, carry us a week up TV T
require from us a song and it's like, are you
guys really singing about you guys, five white guys from
Long Beach singing about the slave ship?
Speaker 2 (31:35):
Are you really doing that? Is that happens patrim who?
You know? Yeah, we sing.
Speaker 5 (31:44):
Waiting to do that?
Speaker 2 (31:46):
Nothing in today's society. Yeah, let's do it. Let's be
yod week carry.
Speaker 5 (31:54):
Carry ay.
Speaker 9 (31:55):
It was like us and it's like all white people
at the show looking like it looked like a Bruce
Brey concert. Oh man, how can we sing King Alpha's
song in a Strange Land series?
Speaker 5 (32:06):
Interesting?
Speaker 2 (32:08):
You know, it's funny.
Speaker 9 (32:09):
At the end of that show, they had the Whalers play,
which you know is not the same band as it was,
you know, in the seventies, but it's a great generational band.
Speaker 5 (32:18):
Is Junior still playing?
Speaker 2 (32:20):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (32:20):
Is still playing with them?
Speaker 2 (32:22):
No? No, well I'm sure he does on his stage.
Speaker 5 (32:24):
I mean he's still with the Whalers that go out now.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
It's the family man, that guy.
Speaker 9 (32:28):
It's the bass drum combo that is the kind of
the But anyway, just everybody's watching, like backstage, like all
these bands, all these weird you know, indie bands and
stuff came out to watch the Whalers and they opened
the show. So you know, it's like noon on a
Sunday and everybody's like wow, and I was like, yeah,
after you guys watch white guy reggae bands all weekend.
(32:51):
Those are two black guys and the drum and the bass.
That's what it's supposed to sound like. Those are Jamaican dudes,
and it shook the sand beach. Hopefully we get some
more real reggae acts from Jamaica next year.
Speaker 4 (33:05):
Well, you can get him on Twitter at the old
pet if you have any play requests for him to
do in Jamaican. Uh, maybe he'll provide those with you.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
That's a one time PA.
Speaker 5 (33:16):
All right.
Speaker 4 (33:16):
That was well done. Well done on the spot. And

Brady Quinn.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
Yeah, let's get things kicked off talking about Mother's Day.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
Mother's Day was this past week, and we hope all the.
Speaker 1 (35:40):
Mamas out there were showered with love and appreciation like
they should be every day. But one man in particular
who's well, he's got a lot of moms to take
care of and talked about is Nick Cannon, and he's
confessed that he mixed up some of the Mother's Day
cards to the moms of his twelve kids.
Speaker 5 (35:59):
Oh geez, yeah them, they're all moms. How can you
mix them up?
Speaker 8 (36:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (36:06):
I think there's maybe some specifics or to personal.
Speaker 5 (36:09):
Who cares your baby mamas?
Speaker 4 (36:12):
How many different baby mamas does he have? He's got
twelve kids, and who cares? Yeah, there's twelve kids.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (36:19):
You've been slanging a lot. It's a lot. You're the destroyer,
you're a claimer, all right.
Speaker 1 (36:27):
Speaking of moms, sometimes moms when they have kids, they
a little breastfeed. Well, one woman caught her friend breastfeeding
her baby, not once, but twice.
Speaker 2 (36:38):
I mean, this is just wrong.
Speaker 5 (36:39):
Well, you caught her? What does that mean?
Speaker 1 (36:42):
She caught her friend with the baby on her breasts?
Speaker 6 (36:48):
Why some people don't I mean, some people don't believe
in being caught. They just feel like they're breastfeeding. I'm
just curious.
Speaker 4 (36:58):
That's creepy.
Speaker 6 (37:00):
That would creep me out, Like do some people just
whip it out wherever they're at, Like the baby's hungry,
I'm whipping.
Speaker 2 (37:04):
It, yeah, the mom, but not her friend?
Speaker 5 (37:08):
Right? Well do you mean?
Speaker 6 (37:09):
But That's why I'm trying to understand she caught her?
Like where where did she catch her friend.
Speaker 4 (37:14):
Her friend was somebody else.
Speaker 6 (37:17):
Now now that makes sense to me. Yeah, now that's weird,
that's creepy. You caught your friend breath breastfeeding your child twice. Yeah, yeah,
now that is that's not my friend and you're not
my friend any Yeah, that's all right. Yeah, well, okay,
before this gets us in trouble, and we have to
finish with a story from Florida.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
Florida man he throws deli meat and threatens to steal
an officer's gun and walkie talkie as well as the.
Speaker 6 (37:44):
Patrol He was throwing deli meat while he would making
those threats.
Speaker 5 (37:49):
What was meat while I talk?
Speaker 2 (37:51):
He was later arrested. What kind of deli meat?
Speaker 6 (37:53):
Would probably salami I would be throwing. I'd be swinging them,
baby tex This meet all of the sucker.

you mentioned this in your Good, Bad and Ugly. You
talked about Ja Moran, right, yeah, And so for those
(01:19):
of you out there, don't, by the way, anybody listening
on the blow torch am five to seventy LA Sports
for a full recap and in depth dive of that game.
We're turning over to none other than Petros Papadeka is
coming up in about twenty minutes from now, so I'm
sure he'll be nothing but positive about that whole situation.
But when it comes to the Ja Morant situation, which
was Levar's ugly and our Good, Bad and Ugly a short.
Speaker 5 (01:41):
Time ago, I mean, would you guys agree, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
It's not a great look, not a great look for
anybody involved. And so now the conversation turns to what
happens now, Yeah.
Speaker 6 (01:50):
That's a great and that's don't you guys feel like
that is a significantly great question? How harsh should the
penalty be? Again, whether people want to acknowledge this or not,
you could be as offended by this as you like
you could kiss my ass. It is a privilege to
(02:13):
be able to make the type of money that guys
make playing professional sports.
Speaker 5 (02:19):
Not it is.
Speaker 6 (02:20):
It is not anything else, not a right, it's not
your right. It's a privilege. And with that, with that
being said, you earn the opportunity to be able to
be privileged enough to be compensated for playing a professional sport.
So when you when you make a mistake, you make
(02:44):
a mistake, you get reprimanded for it, you get a
penalty for it, you punished for it, you learn from it,
you show attrition, and is it attrition?
Speaker 5 (02:56):
Contrition? You show contrition.
Speaker 6 (02:58):
And and and you know, you show some remorse and
and and you show understanding that what you did was
incorrect and you're going to be better for it moving forward.
Speaker 5 (03:11):
When you don't do.
Speaker 6 (03:12):
That to me, you're disqualifying. You're right, you're disqualifying that
privilege to be able to participate like and and I
don't I don't find that to be egregious. I don't
find that to be too aggressive. To do this two
times in the amount of time that he's done it,
I wouldn't be sure I would. I would seriously think
(03:35):
that the NBA should consider suspending him for a season,
not for a couple of games, for a season, And
you know what if you if you make this same
mistake again, then I mean, I think we got to
ban you from the league until further conversations need to
take place. But I don't think that with all of
(03:58):
the things that are going on as it applies to
firearms in America, and you don't need to be a
fricking brain surgeon to see all of the mass shootings
that are taking place and all of the gun violence
and all of the gun conversations that are taking place
in America. You don't have to be a rocket scientist
(04:20):
to see that this is part of what's going on
in our society right now.
Speaker 5 (04:26):
This is a problem.
Speaker 6 (04:28):
And you have a star warth, you have a megastar
who's brandishing a firearm and doing it recklessly and loosely
out here in these streets.
Speaker 5 (04:42):
If you want that.
Speaker 6 (04:43):
To be the example and the standard that you're setting
as the National Basketball Association, that you're you're okay with
one of your star employees doing this, then you know,
I think you have accept the consequences and the repercussions
that go along with you allowing for this to actually
(05:07):
be minimized and be okay. I don't think you can
minimize it, and I don't think you can allow for
it to just be okay. That's my that's my take
on it.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Well.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
Adam Silver, the commissioner of the NBA, was asked about
this last night on ESPN about his thoughts initially when
he saw the video and also what a potential punishment
or what the ramifications could be Here was the NBA commission.
Speaker 7 (05:31):
Honestly, I was shocked when I saw this weekend that video.
Now we're in the process of investigating it and we'll
figure out exactly what happened to the best we can.
Then it's again it's the videos of bit grainy and
all that, but I'm assuming the worst, you know, but
we'll figure out, you know, exactly what happened. The consequence
(05:53):
is there an eight game suspension was pretty serious and
something that he, at least to me, seemed to taken
credibly seriously in that time, and we spoke for a
long time about not just the consequences that could have
on his career, but the safety issues around it. Could
have injured, maim killed himself someone else with an act
(06:17):
like that, and also the acknowledgment that, as you said,
he's a star, I mean, he has an incredibly huge following,
and that my concern, and I thought he shared with
me that millions of not tens of millions of kids
globally would see him as having done something that was
(06:39):
celebrating in a way.
Speaker 6 (06:41):
You know that that act, I mean, if you're celebrating
being a thug, is what he wanted to say. Like,
let's just be clear what he was trying to dance around,
because culturally speaking, he doesn't want to get canceled by
canceled culture. But the whole words thug, that's synonymous with
anytime somebody of color does something incorrect. He didn't want
(07:05):
he wanted to dance around it. But be clear, Jahn
Moran is doing things with a firearm that portrays him
in the light of being a thug, period. And if
you want to be offended by a black man saying
another black man is doing acts that portray them in
(07:25):
the light and in the way of being a thug,
be my guest, I have absolutely zero issue with it.
If you got a problem with me because I'm saying it,
be my guest, have a problem with me. Because you
know what chances are, you're probably a thug two or
you harbor one, you raised one, you own one, whatever
it may be, you got one on your hands. If
you got a problem with what I'm saying, because if
(07:48):
you're okay with what Jah Moran is doing and damaging
his career the way that he's doing it, unnecessarily, unneeded, unwarranted,
for no reason whatsover, That's what Silver wanted to say.
If we're being real about it, if we're going to
keep it one hundred percent a buck from the hip,
that's the problem here. He makes himself look like a thug.
(08:12):
He makes your league look like you're condoning having thugs
in your league.
Speaker 5 (08:19):
Period.
Speaker 6 (08:20):
That's what he wanted to say without getting canceled, so
he couldn't say it the way he wanted to say it.
But I'll say here on two pros and a cup
of Joe, that's what he meant. That's what he wanted
to say, and he would not have been incorrect in saying.
Speaker 5 (08:34):
So, Adam Silver's got to lay the hammer down.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Yeah, I was going to take a little different approach
to this in talking about it, in the sense that
of all the commissioners. Adam Silver tries to be the
good guy. He tries to be friends with everyone, He
tries to be likable. Where's that got in the NBA?
In all seriousness, Like, if I was an NBA owner,
(08:58):
I would be so incredibly on Adam Silver to be
like Roger Goodell. And the interesting thing about Rodger Godell's
he's very polarizing. Most people don't like him, or maybe
there's some hatred towards it, if you want to use
that word. But the truth of the matter is the
NFL is by far and away the most healthy and
(09:19):
best professional sport in America, maybe even the world, And
in large part you can look at the success and
the way it's pulled away from other professional sports and
attributed to when Roger Godell.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Took over as commissioner.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
He's stern with how he's handled matters like this and
a player conduct policy which was always within the collective
bardiing agreement, mind you, the commissioner's powers to do what
he has done.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
What Roger Godell has done to discipline players.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
It was always in there, it was never enforced the
way Roger Goodell has and maybe even he's led up
to some degree over the years as they've encounter are
different obstacles, but he has put the NFL in this
position because he's taken on the villain role where he's
(10:10):
okay being booed by the masses when he walks out
during the draft, or booed when he walks into a stadium,
or where merch is made about him, you know, with
a clown nose, whatever the case, he's okay with that.
You won't to know why because he's being paid a
ridiculous amount of money to run the best professional sports
league in America, and he's okay with being the villain.
(10:32):
He's okay with being the bad guy. He's okay with
doing the work that has to be done in order
to make sure every single owner is happy. If there's
any issue with a player in their conduct, it's gonna
be it's gonna be addressed, it's gonna be handled. It
may not always be perfect, because every scenario is situation
is unique, and there's legal matters that play a role too,
(10:52):
as along with the judicial system that plays a role.
But you couldn't find, in my opinion too for their
commissioners in the manner in which they handle themselves, where
Adam Silver just wants to be liked by everyone, which
just wants to get along. And Roger Goodell could give
two craps. He could care less because he knows there's
(11:14):
stars coming up every single year in the league, which
you could make the case, yeah, the NBA stars tend
to last a little bit longer and they've got more sway,
but in part because there hasn't been that line drawn.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
There hasn't and this isn't.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
This is an area specifically that Adam Silver should put
his foot down and be cognizant of everything else, like
LaVar is talking about that's going on in our country,
in our society and start trying to become a bad guy.
And whether that fits him or not, so be it.
But if I was, I don't know even who the
(11:52):
strongest owners are in the NBA, but I'd be calling
him right now and being like, you gotta do something
about this, like before may happens with John Morant or
another athlete, because that's the other thing. What happens when
you allow John Moran to continue this pattern, It only
opens up then the possibility of other players to follow suit.
(12:12):
Knowing that these are the repercussions they're gonna face. Adam
Silver is gonna potentially set a precedent one way or another,
whether he punishes John Morant and the length of which
he does it, or if.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
He doesn't and he lets him off soft.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
You're gonna find other players that eventually find themselves in
this situation and they're gonna say, well, I know I
can get away with it because we've got a soft commissioner.
He's not gonna punish me the way it was if
it was a different professional sport. I mean, that's the
other thing that needs to be factored in here is
at some point Adam Silver has to put his foot
down and he can't be everyone's friend.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
He's got to be the commissioner of the NBA.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
What's your best guess? What do you guys think he
gets popped for? I think no less than fifty games.
I just I just think as serious as this is now,
it was.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
It was.
Speaker 6 (13:05):
Shocking the first time, and you take it for what
it's worth at face value. The kid made a mistake.
He's still maturing, you know, he might still be entertaining
the whole you know, his crew type of crew love
type deal. Like all, he made a mistake, but after
knowing the severity, which that's that is certainly silver and
(13:30):
the NBA's that should have been their main priority is
to make sure that this is seriously handled and they
understand the magnitude of what he did, and others, as
Q mentioned, others in the league should understand the seriousness,
seriousness and nature of what he's done. And and you
(13:51):
give him, you give him the suspension that you gave
him for him to come back and do it again
and just casually be on social media and this time,
first time you was holding your strap. You're holding a gun,
but you weren't holding it with your finger on the trigger.
He was holding the gun this time on camera. This time,
(14:12):
if you catch it on the live this time, he's
holding it this time, he's got it. He's got it.
He's got it handled this time. Yeah, Yeah, he holding
it like that. If you don't suspend him for a year,
and and make it an example of saying this is
you should really have zero tolerance for that type of behavior.
Speaker 5 (14:35):
You really should. You should have zero tolerance.
Speaker 6 (14:38):
So if you don't suspend him for a year for
the season based off of the severity and nature of
what he did, for the second time, because now he knows,
then you have failed to let him know or help
him understand the severity and nature of what he did
as an infraction the first time. And that is now
(14:59):
a that is a criticism, that is something that is
going to fall at the feet of the commissioner and
of the league. And if that's what you want, then
you don't suspend him for a year.
Speaker 5 (15:13):
If you want to, if you want to invite.
Speaker 6 (15:15):
That scrutiny and that criticism and on what is you
have going on in how you run your operation, then
then you take a light on them. But to me,
it's got to be no less than a year and
understanding that if you ever do something of this nature again,
now moving forward, you out of the league.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
You're gone. This is worse. This is way worse than
failing a drug test. Is worse.
Speaker 6 (15:40):
You're basically you're condoning violence. You're a star of a league,
and you're condoning death. Like hello, guns equal death. Death,
the way you're doing it, the way you're glorifying holding
that strap, you're glorifying violence.
Speaker 5 (16:00):
Hello.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
Well, I think Gilbert Areenas got suspended for a year
when he brought guns to the locker room in Washington.
Were you in Washington?
Speaker 2 (16:08):
I was there.
Speaker 4 (16:09):
I think he got suspended for a year. So there
has been a precedent.
Speaker 6 (16:12):
And go figure, and that was a dude he was
beefing with with them guns career, the in Creadin or
whatever is that Crittinton?
Speaker 5 (16:20):
Yeah? What ended up happening with him?
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (16:23):
He went away? Yeah, pay attention. If you're showing that,
that's the type of character you have. If you're showing
that's the type of person you are. Look at the correlation.
What about the other one, the dude that played for
the nets, that that had the history of dealing with
guns and messing with guns ended up? Didn't he shoot
his dog and then and then ended up doing something
else and then jacked up as the car driver or
(16:47):
something like that. Jason Jason William Come on, man. And
then it's always it's always, oh, that's too extreme, that's
too extreme. The critington, look up, criton, tell me what
happened with Crittinton. It had to it was something for
what for what y'all want to talk about? I'm overreacting. Okay,
(17:07):
what did he do? Okay, there we go, there we go.
I happen to study a little sociology and minded then
a little psychology while I was in school, just so
we're clear on the fact that I do break down
psycho analytical and mental emotional makeups of how people handle
(17:30):
things and what they do. And if you're jacking up
animals and stuff like that, you could be a serial killer,
and all these different things that go into the mental
makeup of why people do the things that they do.
And the one thing that you always learn when you're
studying things about how people are emotionally and mentally, how
they're wired. You don't think they're crazy until they show
(17:52):
you they're crazy. You don't think they're a killer until
they show you they're a killer. You don't even know
if you're walking around somebody who who who does some
of the most heinous acts or does some of the
most valent acts and different things like that. You don't
know until you see it happen. So if you're sitting
there and you're thinking, oh, this is too light, or
you're taking this way too seriously, or you're going way
(18:14):
down a lane that you shouldn't go down, no I'm not,
because these are the very people they showed you who
they were they showed you who they were, and you
didn't pay attention to it. You didn't make a decision
based off of the person that they showed you who
they were. And the saying goes and always remain true.
If a person shows you who they are, believe them.
(18:35):
He's showing you who he is.
Speaker 4 (18:37):
Bottom line, Two Pros and a Cup of Joe here
Fox Sports Radio, LaVar Arrington, Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox with
the can hang out with us as always on the
iHeartRadio app. Coming up next, we are going to have

Speaker 8 (18:54):
Be sure to catch live editions of Two Pros and
a Cup of Joe with Brady Quinn, LeVar Rington and
Jonas Knox weekdays at six am Eastern, three am Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio App.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
Two Pros and a Cup of Joe here on Fox
Sports Radio. So coming up, we are going to have
the BQ News in a little over fifteen minutes from
now from the Tirak dot com studios. But right now
we welcome in the old p on Twitter. He is
Petros Papadeikas. He is the co host of the Petros
and Money Show on the blowtorch Am five to seven
e LA Sports. Also a Fox College football analyst as well.
(19:29):
Good Morning Pee. Condolences in advance for.
Speaker 5 (19:32):
What well the Lakers lost to the Wake Show. Sorry man, Sorry, sorry, Petros,
Sorry man.
Speaker 9 (19:38):
You know, you don't see a lot of headlines when
a team loses a game. That Lakers lose, but they
feel good about the second half. It would you write
that if Denver lost? Yeah, probably not. You know, Petros
Jonas said that to start the show. He really was
clinging to that narrative.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
And that's where I had to push back a little
bit because I'm like, you got your ass kick basically
for the first half into the third quarter, and it
was the fourth quarter where you dominated. But I mean,
what does that mean when you lose any adjustments?
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Brady? You just don't understand.
Speaker 9 (20:12):
Right, There's everybody becomes naysmith this time of year. We've
ignored the NBA, and now we're like, well, if they
move Hachima over to Jokich, there you go, they found
something and all that and that could very well be true.
(20:33):
I mean, I don't know I'm not Hubie Brown, but
I think it'll be an exciting series, and who knows.
I think the Lakers can win it or the Nuggets, okay,
because one or the other is going to win. But
the reaction to every moment on social media and then
(20:55):
the headlines about.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
These series is is pretty interesting.
Speaker 9 (20:59):
And I don't remember it being like this when I
was young, and like the Lakers and Celtics would be
going back and forth with Robert Parrish and Kareem you
know what I mean. I don't know if everybody on
social media would have been like they made a bunch
of lucky shots tonight.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
We're gonna win tomorrow.
Speaker 8 (21:15):
You know.
Speaker 9 (21:15):
It's like, okay, good luck to everybody involved. But yes,
the headlines are interesting because the Lakers are the Lakers,
and they're a brand that helps the NBA and they're
doing great. And Lebron is Lebron and he's a brand
that helps the NBA at least he used to be,
and the headline surrounding him get a lot of clicks,
(21:39):
just like it used to with Kobe. So I understand
the league's need to gussie up a loss or to
over celebrate a win, and maybe the Lakers will make
it to the NBA Finals, and we'll have another three
weeks of inundation and saturation.
Speaker 6 (21:56):
I mean, while we're still in NBA. Let me just
get this one out of the way. I'm curious as
what your take is on John Morant uh popping up
with with with a firearm once.
Speaker 9 (22:06):
I understand you know, Uh, I have urges too, and
one of them is when I'm on some kind of
social media live.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Or something, I want to wave a gun around. I understand.
Speaker 9 (22:18):
I don't know, it's a it's a desire inside that
you just you gotta wave a gun around if somebody's
taking a live video. It's just a certain kind of feeling. Yeah,
It's like when you get home from a long day
and you you're you itch, you itch until you have
that drink you know, or that beer or whatever.
Speaker 5 (22:37):
You reach for that gun or.
Speaker 9 (22:40):
That gun on social media, it's not enough to have
your gun and to wave it around.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
People have to see it waved around and that you know.
Speaker 9 (22:49):
It is a Jamaican thing. From what I understand, because
I consume so much Jamaican media that everybody loves waving
guns around in videos. In every Jamaican video I've ever seen,
but and there is something to it. It must feel great.
You know, I'm not a gun guy. I'm not against
(23:12):
everybody's guns either. I don't really know. They've always frightened me,
I think. But but waving a gun around on camera
must feel. It must be an irresistible feeling, you know, irresistible.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
It has to be.
Speaker 5 (23:31):
Times.
Speaker 9 (23:31):
Yeah, I mean it just it is an amazing thing
that he that that he cannot control himself from doing that,
or the thought process that would go through his mind
to do it.
Speaker 6 (23:44):
Like I'm going to remove my gun from wherever it
is I have it, and I'm going to show it.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Yeah, I want everybody to see this very interesting tendris.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
How many Jamaican videos where there flashing hand cannons do
you watch a week?
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Would you say, well, whatever comes out.
Speaker 9 (24:02):
So like he's like, you know, if there's a new
Tommy Lee Sparta song, I'm gonna check it out, you
know if in ten says it, Oh, there's a new
Jamaican artist called Hype Bastard Wow, and he's got a
song about something very popular in Jamaica which is terrible,
Which are lottery schemes where you know they call old
(24:25):
people in the United States and take advantage.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Of them and take their mind. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Yeah, they emails as well. I feel like there's there's
all like an email scheme.
Speaker 9 (24:33):
Yeah, those go through India. The Jamaicans will call you
and be like hello from the bank of the city bank. Okay,
what happened now, sir, you have lost all your money
and you must go.
Speaker 5 (24:51):
That's Jamaican.
Speaker 9 (24:52):
No, Jamaican's like China. Things are going out to street,
nobody gonna be at there.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
You go like, wow, that's suppressive.
Speaker 5 (25:02):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
You know what I mean when I say I'm on
fiss cool.
Speaker 5 (25:06):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
I have no idea what you're saying either.
Speaker 9 (25:09):
Neither do they, just because the language is constantly changing,
you know, like the Jamaican patois I learned in the
eighties from a nanny is different, you know, than than
it is now, you know, just like slang term right,
it is. But but at the same time it is
(25:29):
a language.
Speaker 6 (25:30):
Some words language, yeah, and some words are broken English really.
Speaker 9 (25:35):
I mean yes, it is, but some words are are
you know, Like what do you call a guy that
walks around in Jamaica? I mean a walk foot man,
a walk foot man like, like, you know, you just
put those three things together.
Speaker 4 (25:51):
Anyway, Petris, could I ask a request.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
I love the language.
Speaker 5 (25:55):
Simple request.
Speaker 4 (25:56):
We're not asking you to do Don Martin or Mike
Bone or any of these other guys.
Speaker 5 (26:01):
Simple requests.
Speaker 4 (26:02):
Can you break down and describe a full back dive
play in Jamaican?
Speaker 5 (26:08):
Mm hmmm mm hmm.
Speaker 9 (26:12):
Yeah, you're giving, You're giving the ball and then they
go into into the wall, the good wall, mired, mired
by the by the mandem demand them in in the
(26:32):
plastic outfit. Then I look to the fierce mask, the
ma guanza into the wall. You must protect the ball
with the arm full farm, no one arm runner man.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Well done, pat girls.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Oh man, I just like what I just I don't
want to hear anything else from you.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
This is a mez.
Speaker 9 (27:07):
This is like look, stop making me culturally appropriate people, now.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
I love Look. I love Jamaican culture.
Speaker 9 (27:16):
I collect the music for years and years and read
the newspaper and all that.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
So how living on the and being like growing up
and being raised in the West Coast, how did you
become so infatuated with with Jamaican culture?
Speaker 9 (27:30):
Well, I follow an Instagram feed called white Rasta pasta
it's all it's all white guys, so dreadlocks.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
Talking like that, you know, stealing ba ba ba la.
Noh we have.
Speaker 9 (27:44):
My parents ran a restaurant at night when I was
you know, around your kid's age, my kid's age. Uh
and uh. And we had a Jamaican danny for years.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
Uh. And we would.
Speaker 9 (27:58):
Listen to you know, not Bob Marley legend. We listened
to real Jamaican music. A lot of it I figured
out when I got older was recorded or done in Britain.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
But we listened a lot of that.
Speaker 9 (28:10):
And she taught us Jamaican culture and so but you know,
when she left, I remained interested in it. And when
we got old enough, my then and older brother, so
we would go to concerts and you know, we were
just where we were into it.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
It's a rough place, you know.
Speaker 9 (28:27):
It's if you read books about Jamaica, you understand what
they mean when they talk about political violence, like what
that is. You know, it's not a bunch of people
protesting with giant gauges in their ears.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
It's it's much different than that.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
Uh.
Speaker 9 (28:43):
And I don't know, I've always found a place interesting.
I have a giant Jamaican island poster in my room.
Speaker 5 (28:53):
What's the name of this Instagram.
Speaker 9 (28:54):
Account, White Rosta Pasta. You've never seen white Rosta bibe
that it's all like white hippie people with dreadlocks.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Okay, I'm looking at it now.
Speaker 9 (29:06):
I'm a bald head though, you know, or a or
a yes and a sum comb. You'd also maybe call
me which means sometimes I comb my hair, which means
I'm not a lot of people have misconceptions about Jamaica
that it is like an island of a bunch of
dreadlocked weed smokers around a gigantic bonfire. And the truth
(29:29):
is like maybe five percent of the population is Rastafarian,
which is, you know, like a Hari Krishna sort of
like somebody who is very adherent to the Old Testament
and all kinds of stuff like that and wears certain
clothes and lives in a certain kind of commune or whatever.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
And that is a misconception.
Speaker 5 (29:53):
It's fantastic that was thought. He was still going I was,
I was waiting for more.
Speaker 9 (29:57):
No, I'll tell you about the JLP and the PNP.
The Jamaican lately.
Speaker 6 (30:01):
Want to get into the Nazarites and all the well,
the stuff was going on.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
Twelve tribes of Israel.
Speaker 5 (30:07):
Come on, I thought it's gonna go deep.
Speaker 9 (30:08):
But you know, when Jamaica went to Jamaica, when England
gave them their independence, you had a huge struggle that
remains today between these two political parties, one of which
was controlled by the US or the CIA, the other
with a lot of influence from communist governments, including neighboring Cuba,
(30:32):
especially back in those days. And what they would do
is supply young people like twelve year old boys, yeah,
with m sixteen's and stuff, and just and wear a
certain colored T shirt, orange or green, and attack the
the other, the opposition supporting neighborhoods and get after each other.
(30:54):
And when you listen to a lot of the lyrics
of like reggae songs that white people will just be singing,
you know, like you know, uh, a lot of it
is about that. I couldn't believe the other day I was.
I was at that concert that I I host the
stream for in Redondo Beach called Beach Life, and Sublime
(31:15):
was up there.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
And they sang, you know.
Speaker 9 (31:19):
Be yasdy week, carry us a week up TV T
require from us a song and it's like, are you
guys really singing about you guys, five white guys from
Long Beach singing about the slave ship?
Speaker 2 (31:35):
Are you really doing that? Is that happens patrim who?
You know? Yeah, we sing.
Speaker 5 (31:44):
Waiting to do that?
Speaker 2 (31:46):
Nothing in today's society. Yeah, let's do it. Let's be
yod week carry.
Speaker 5 (31:54):
Carry ay.
Speaker 9 (31:55):
It was like us and it's like all white people
at the show looking like it looked like a Bruce
Brey concert. Oh man, how can we sing King Alpha's
song in a Strange Land series?
Speaker 5 (32:06):
Interesting?
Speaker 2 (32:08):
You know, it's funny.
Speaker 9 (32:09):
At the end of that show, they had the Whalers play,
which you know is not the same band as it was,
you know, in the seventies, but it's a great generational band.
Speaker 5 (32:18):
Is Junior still playing?
Speaker 2 (32:20):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (32:20):
Is still playing with them?
Speaker 2 (32:22):
No? No, well I'm sure he does on his stage.
Speaker 5 (32:24):
I mean he's still with the Whalers that go out now.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
It's the family man, that guy.
Speaker 9 (32:28):
It's the bass drum combo that is the kind of
the But anyway, just everybody's watching, like backstage, like all
these bands, all these weird you know, indie bands and
stuff came out to watch the Whalers and they opened
the show. So you know, it's like noon on a
Sunday and everybody's like wow, and I was like, yeah,
after you guys watch white guy reggae bands all weekend.
(32:51):
Those are two black guys and the drum and the bass.
That's what it's supposed to sound like. Those are Jamaican dudes,
and it shook the sand beach. Hopefully we get some
more real reggae acts from Jamaica next year.
Speaker 4 (33:05):
Well, you can get him on Twitter at the old
pet if you have any play requests for him to
do in Jamaican. Uh, maybe he'll provide those with you.
Speaker 2 (33:14):

Speaker 1 (35:34):
Yeah, let's get things kicked off talking about Mother's Day.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
Mother's Day was this past week, and we hope all the.
Speaker 1 (35:40):
Mamas out there were showered with love and appreciation like
they should be every day. But one man in particular
who's well, he's got a lot of moms to take
care of and talked about is Nick Cannon, and he's
confessed that he mixed up some of the Mother's Day
cards to the moms of his twelve kids.
Speaker 5 (35:59):
Oh geez, yeah them, they're all moms. How can you
mix them up?
Speaker 8 (36:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (36:06):
I think there's maybe some specifics or to personal.
Speaker 5 (36:09):
Who cares your baby mamas?
Speaker 4 (36:12):
How many different baby mamas does he have? He's got
twelve kids, and who cares? Yeah, there's twelve kids.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (36:19):
You've been slanging a lot. It's a lot. You're the destroyer,
you're a claimer, all right.
Speaker 1 (36:27):
Speaking of moms, sometimes moms when they have kids, they
a little breastfeed. Well, one woman caught her friend breastfeeding
her baby, not once, but twice.
Speaker 2 (36:38):
I mean, this is just wrong.
Speaker 5 (36:39):
Well, you caught her? What does that mean?
Speaker 1 (36:42):
She caught her friend with the baby on her breasts?
Speaker 6 (36:48):
Why some people don't I mean, some people don't believe
in being caught. They just feel like they're breastfeeding. I'm
just curious.
Speaker 4 (36:58):
That's creepy.
Speaker 6 (37:00):
That would creep me out, Like do some people just
whip it out wherever they're at, Like the baby's hungry,
I'm whipping.
Speaker 2 (37:04):
It, yeah, the mom, but not her friend?
Speaker 5 (37:08):
Right? Well do you mean?
Speaker 6 (37:09):
But That's why I'm trying to understand she caught her?
Like where where did she catch her friend.
Speaker 4 (37:14):
Her friend was somebody else.
Speaker 6 (37:17):
Now now that makes sense to me. Yeah, now that's weird,
that's creepy. You caught your friend breath breastfeeding your child twice. Yeah, yeah,
now that is that's not my friend and you're not
my friend any Yeah, that's all right. Yeah, well, okay,
before this gets us in trouble, and we have to
finish with a story from Florida.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
Florida man he throws deli meat and threatens to steal
an officer's gun and walkie talkie as well as the.
Speaker 6 (37:44):
Patrol He was throwing deli meat while he would making
those threats.
Speaker 5 (37:49):
