.

Episode Transcript

(00:01):
Especially in the jam In Morning Showwith DJ Feign It's Saunty When you need
to know, we got you threethings you need to know on Boston's number
one for hip hop and the bestthrowbags you haven't any more vives from high
above the ice. His iconic voicebecame synonymous with countless moments in Ruin's history.

(00:22):
Jack's charisma, passion, and presencein the booth will absolutely be missed
tonight. Both Nesson and the BostonBruins want to thank Jack for his service
and wish him all the best ashe transitions into retirement. They have it
Wednesday, April seventeenth, and afternineteen seasons nineteen which is so crazy as

(00:46):
the play by play voice of theBruins, on Nesson, Jack Edwards is
stepping away from the mic. He'sa New England native, a longtime broadcaster,
and he announced his retirement following theend of the twenty twenty three to
twenty four postseason games. On Nessonthat end his forty five year career in
sports journalism. Not a hockey fanlike this, but I can equate it

(01:06):
to baseball. When you change theannouncer's voice, it kind of changes the
whole dynamic of it, because youwatch the game with that like almost like
symphony in the back of your head. Right, symphony is a really good
yeah, right, because that's sotrue. Is you know, you become
a creature of habit, that's thevoice you know and you love. And
let's be honest, nobody likes change. And forty five years is a very
long time, you know. Thestory is. It's sad in a sense

(01:30):
because I don't think he's ready togo. I just think he thinks it's
his time and he's going through somehealth things. It's time to leave.
And I've had a speech problem comingon for the last year and there is
nothing wrong with me physically, andthey can't figure it out. And I

(01:57):
couldn't attain my standards and it's notfor the team, uh, for the
fans and the organization, and uh, it's time to get off the ice.
I hope the doctors can get tothe bottom of what's going on with
him. It's sad to hear himsay that they have no idea and when

(02:19):
that's your money maker, right ishis paycheck, So it must be so
frustrating for him. Imagine, Ican't do this no more. Yeah,
and he's he said, like hegrew up a Bruins fan and he goes
who has had more fun for meover the last two decades. He's just
doing what he loves hockey. Hewants to be there. So I mean,
obviously gone and stepping down from thisposition, but never forgotten. When

(02:43):
when icons and people that have beenaround and organizations that long ago, you
don't forget them. Yeah, Soobviously a big thanks to Jack Edwards for
all he's done for the Boston Bruins. All right, Blake Griffin is hanging
up the hoop sneaks for those thatcare not shocked Like the last seven years,
he's been kind of like irrelevant,right, Speaking of being around a

(03:04):
long time fourteen seasons, he saidon Instagram, all of these experiences made
my fourteen years in the league trulyunforgettable. And I can't help but to
just feel thankful. Obviously. Ifeel like in his prime he played for
the Clippers with Chris Paul. Hehad been to Detroit, he had been
here, he had been Brooklyn.He was Rookie of the Year in twenty

(03:24):
ten, twenty eleven, won theSlam Dunk Contest at one point and has
been selected to the All Star Teamfive times. He had a good career.
Yeah, but the biggest thing heever did was off the court.
I know, Kendall jenner Ken thatfor you is his biggest, biggest thing.
I mean, that is pretty crazy. All Right. Drake had some

(03:45):
time yesterday and I'm I'm kind ofblown. I don't really know this man.
I don't know this man that's trollingon ig but listen, it was
exciting. I had an exciting day. Following along, we know that Drake
OBVI has beef with metro Booman futureKendrick Lamar. Drake was doing a lot
of gas lighting yesterday trying to getmetro Booman to drop whatever distrack he supposedly

(04:10):
has up next to the point whereForum was explaining he sent drummers outside of
a club in Atlanta. Now,mind you, Drake only had one line
for metro Booman and his disc track. One line and it was shut your
hoe ass up and go make somedrums. So now he will not stop
with the drum references. He willnot stop. We obviously know the Rick

(04:32):
Ross drama is I feel like justat the front and center of it because
Rick Ross is very vocal vocal ina sense of he's posting videos he's constantly
calling Drake BBL Drizzy. White Boyfinally released the cover art for his disk
track where he made Drake White bythe way, look like my brother.

(04:54):
He literally looked like my brother eitherway. Forren set this up for us
one more time, because again,Rick Ross has made so many videos coming
out against Drake we could get lostin translation. Yeah, so it's all
started because once Rick Ross dropped hisdisrecord towards Drake, Drake was like,
I didn't even finish listening to thisbecause there was a line in there where
he said he was richer than me, and that's not happening. We all

(05:15):
know that's false. So Ross hassince then been like, all, look,
you might have more bread than me, but didn't your boss Birdman from
Young Money Cashing Money get a fewof these houses full closed on. If
they're being full closed on, thenyou got to go bail him out.
And that's what he says in thisclip, White Boy, White Boy bb
Drizzy. I got a question.I saw you posted you got more money
than Ricky Rose, and let's assumeyou did well. Your best friend bird

(05:40):
Man, his house went in theforeclosure five years ago. You don't watch
that man struggle them five years andit ain't get that man and mansion.
Because if you got more money thanRose, what's another fifty million, white
boy? White boy, it's onefor forty on Indian Creek, it's one
for fifty on Star Island. Yougot forty eight hours, white boy,
if you got Ricky Rose, yousay money ain't none of my s winning

(06:01):
foreclosure? Come on, white boy, I feel a bust about a white
boy. Don't do stling like that. Come on, man, what happened
to that? So crazy to seehow quickly people can turn. I mean,
think about reck Ross and Drake usuldbe friends doing songs together, making
number one hit some bangers, andnow now he's daring him to spend fifty

(06:25):
mili in the house. Yeah,it's so crazy too, because again,
to me, this argument is nulland void. The argument is who has
more money. Drake's like, youstarted out your song saying you have more
money than me? You don't.I don't want to listen to it because
it's lies, it's trash. Butnow reck Ross is going down the path
of yeah, well you should behelping out your friends because you have more
money than me. Like, it'snot Drake, by the way, like

(06:47):
I said, had Time, showeda screenshot of a response to Rick Ross's
post. He said, imagine youhaving eighty eight million to spend on a
crib. Your stuff bes like yougot him from a police auction. Your
star island house on a sliver ofcheesecake. You're lot forty thousand square feet.
My crib is forty thousand square feet. Leonard. He just kind of

(07:12):
went on to basically clown you know, Rick Ross and his home in Miami,
posting an actual photo of it,and it does look sandwiched in.
I'm not gonna lie, he said, Rick, you sandwiched in, which
is on brand because the vacant landnext to your lot is not even yours.
This stuff, the Miami starter packyou living in is a content creator
home. Like again, Drake justhad Time. But Rick Ross is like

(07:36):
going to Rick Ross is even sayingthat Drake has a ghostwriter for his captions
on Instagram, like he is justI, No, he does have somebody
who writes his captions though someone's runninghis social media. You think Drake posts
every picture up in there? No, And I listen I have hit my
friends up and been like, I'mgonna post these pictures today. Help me
out with the caption, like,I don't have a like. I can't

(07:57):
think right now, so I don'tthink that is a dis I mean whatever
again, it's it's it's trying toshow that he's not an authentic dude,
you know what I mean. Andif there's one thing that Rose knows how
to do, it's just smack talk. He has the gift to goad when
him and fifty cent we're going throughthese things. He started having a donkey
trend because he always used to callfifty cent a donkey. You donkey,
you know what I mean all thetime. But Rose, I mean the

(08:20):
facts of the facts. Drake gotmore money than you. You know what
I mean. It is what itis. But here's the thing. So
if you if you sitting on thetop of the thing and you got more
money, why are you even bothering? Why even respond to Rose? Why
send him that long DM And thenRose came out after his like, listen,
smack talk is cool, but Drake, just keep it one sentence.
You don't got to send me.Let me give you a paragraph. I'll

(08:41):
write you a whole letter. Ilove it, though, get back to
live for this every day and I'mlike, can it be done? I
also know there are more distracts tocome, and that's what I want to
hear. I think this is justthe beginning of what we're going to see.
And I think that's why Drake's like, go ahead, like trying to
gaslate and tease everybody. Go ahead, release your distract because I'm ready too.

(09:01):
