Bombs Over Tehran - What the NBA Fuss? - Driving My Drumsticks

This episode of Wait One Minute jumps off with global headlines to hardwood drama and ends with a real-life everyday rant.

Then we switch gears to the NBA, where things have been just as chaotic. From Jaylen Brown getting tossed after arguing with officials to the wild debate around Bam Adebayo’s historic 83-point night, the league has been buzzing and fans have plenty to say. 

And finally, we wrap things up with a little everyday frustration — when your food delivery shows up wrong, late, or looking nothing like what you ordered. Why does something so simple go so wrong?

Welcome to Wait One Minute, it's Ed from the QC by the way of the D. Coming back again to tell you my take on this shit. First thing we talk about is the conflict war exercise they got going on over in the ran. Then, why is all this fuss going on amongst NBA fans? Lastly, I'ma let y'all know on some food delivery fuck up that I'm tired of seeing. I'll expound on every single bit of it after this break. So yeah, bro has started a war with Iran. When I say bro, I'm talking about Mr. Mr. No More Forever Wars. You know, Mr. Uh Mr. I should get the Peace Prize because I've ended ended all wars. You know, Mr. Uh Mr. Obama, he's gonna start a war with Iran because he can't negotiate. Yeah, that guy. Mr. Uh, he damn sure ain't gonna get the peace prize now, guy, huh? But you know, speaking of blaming uh Obama back in the day, back in what was that, like 2011, 2012, when Trump was saying that uh uh um that Obama couldn't negotiate and was gonna start a war with Iran, that's a that's a damn lie, because what really happened was Obama negotiated a deal with Iran that they were complying with. I think I told y'all this before, and Trump ripped that shit up day one in office. So that bullshit we don't want to hear. Back to this motherfucking war, though, that uh brother Mr. Peace Prize started. Now I remember when they first got in there, a Heg Seth, I think, is running the Pentagon. Yeah, so they got in there and got rid of all the what they call woke, what I call competent uh generals and and and you know those uh that have been there for a while and kind of know how things go. Like status quo was there for a reason. Right? It's been working for fucking 50 years or how many years, right? Well, now that they fired everybody and it's only idiots left, uh, that's why this shit is looking crazy right now. They don't have a fucking clue what they're doing. They say they done planned it out and everything. I beg to differ. They had it planned out, then how was it that the Americans that were living, studying, traveling abroad, all of a sudden got stuck. There was no plan to get them out from up over there. Seemed like that would have been part of the fucking plan. Let's get them out first, maybe. I don't know. That's what I would have thought if I had a plan. And then like, once you did this shit and everybody knew about it, press is asking questions of you now that you should have answers for. You would think everybody would have the same answer? Maybe. Possibly. Ain't y'all all on the same fucking team? Same administration or some shit. But y'all got different fucking answers. I think one of the generals said it was a uh a um that motherfucker would call it a war, I believe. Another cabinet member, I can't remember who it was, said they that we were in conflict with Iran. And I think Heg Seth was the one that said nah, it's a it's a military exercise. So I don't know during their planning meeting if they planned on what the fuck they was gonna say when people ask about it. The uh brother not not gonna get the peace pill peace prize no more. Uh he's calling it both a war and an exercise. It's a war exercise, I guess, in his mind. Mr. No More Forever Wars. But when's it over? He said three weeks, three days, it'll be over soon. Now he said it's over. But it's over when he wants it to be over. It's over when they surrender. It depends on when you ask him on when it's over. Cause his kid ain't over there doing that shit. You heard what I said. If his kid was over there, things would be way fucking different. Tell me I'm fucking lying. You can tell me what you want to. I ain't gonna believe your fucking ass. Period. At all. And so then not knowing able to tell us when it's gonna end, how about this motherfucker? What are the conditions of us winning that motherfucker? What what how do we know when we've won? They asked them that shit and we didn't get no answers. Basically we won uh six months ago, right? When you nuked when you we nuked all they nukes or some shit. Or so we had destroyed all their capabilities. Now the reason we fighting is because they was a day away from that shit. Make that shit make sense, motherfucker. A day away. Don't nothing you say fucking makes sense. But wait a minute, y'all. This nightmare gets even fucking scarier right after the break, though. Every day. Small choices shape bigger outcomes. Choosing to speak up, choosing to check in, choosing to look out for one another. Because prevention doesn't start with policy, it starts with people. Learn the signs, start the conversation, and help create a safer tomorrow today. Managing money shouldn't feel confusing or overwhelming. With clear tools, straightforward guidance, and support that's easy to reach, you always know where you stand and what comes next. Whether you're planning for long-term goals, handling everyday expenses, or preparing for unexpected changes, confidence starts with information you can trust. Because smart financial decisions aren't about guessing. They're about having the clarity to move forward with purpose every single day. Okay, so this Trump's conflict war exercise or whatever they fucking want to call it, has now become a whole fucking Middle East war. Right? First of all, I guess Israel helped start the shit, and that's giving them a damn excuse so they can just fire at fucking Iran and shit from the shit that happened uh a couple Octobers ago. Uh now that they doing that, Hezbollah done jumped out the woodworks. Now they jumped in this motherfucker too. And Iran, you know, in their defense, defending themselves and proving a point at the same time, they firing on everybody they can reach. Just to the left, to the left, to the left, to the left, to the right, to the right, to the right, to the right, to the sky, to the sky, to the sky, to the sky, to the sea, to the sea. They don't give a fuck. They just boom, boom, boom, boom, pap. They they rockin' shits, they dronin' shits, they not giving a fuck. The whole bit of Saudi Arabia and everybody is taking it. Taking it. It's all kind of shit going on over there. Eating open a can of fucking worms. Crazy ass shit. Crazy ass shit. And like I said, man, like because all the what they call woke motherfuckers, I call them competent, right? All the motherfuckers that knew what they was doing, got fired and all the all the programs and shit canceled, the U.S. has actually bombed a fucking school, a girls' school, and has killed hundreds of children. Now the president and his croonage was asked about that shit too. The president was like, I don't mean I don't listen, I don't really know enough to say, you know, I don't believe we did that shit. We ain't do that shit. That's what the president said. The man in charge, the uh exeth, right, the Department of War or Department of Defense, whatever you want to call itself, uh, they asked him, like, directly, he was asked that, and he said, like, this is this is a paraphrase, but it's real close to what he said. Uh, did did did the United States do it? Did y'all bomb the school? Did we bomb the school? And he said, countries like Iran and such and such, they they do that intentionally. You know, they go after civilians and they're evil. That's a part of their plan. They don't care about this and that. America doesn't do that. So he didn't answer the fucking question. He he he did the seventh grader shit, right? You're not seventh graders do, just like everybody in that administration when when they talk, they talk like fucking seventh graders. I'll get into that bullshit later too. But yeah. So with all that being said, yeah, yeah, it's it's it's come to light through evidentiary uh uh stuff. What what you call oh, they did uh investigations or preliminary investigations from from credible sources that uh it was it was U.S. um um weaponry that blew up them kids, man. But now they're making more excuses. The president, he said that those weapons, everybody got that shit. That's what he said. He said, but somebody called his ass out. Nah, nigga, we we the ones that got that, and and we the only ones got it. If anybody else got it, then we sold it to their ass. So boy, you got some splaining to do with your lying ass. So on top of that, that shit didn't hit US soil because the effects of it because of people's emotions, and like, you know, we got uh uh you know people that that that have this uh uh uh um you know they they they they they have this special thing that from with Israel. You know, it's a lot of Jewish people here, then you got Iranians here, and you have uh all types of fates and things. Uh so it's kind of complex and tricky in the U.S. when it comes to that. And a lot of people in the U.S., right, is so fucking ignorant. They only know about their thing, they don't even know about other things going on around the world, so they may not even understand what the fuck Trump just did. And they may not understand why that shit is affecting us here with these domestic terrorist incidents, or some of them alleged domestic terrorist incidents. For example, uh there was a synagogue in Michigan where this dude drove his car up in that motherfucker and was shooting a fucking gun as he's driving the car down the fucking hall. They believe that's related to this fucking war and you know, people's emotions with, you know, whatever side they choose or whatever they, you know, they uh relate with, you know. Um come to find out within the car there was explosives in the damn car, too. Fortunately, no one was hurt but him. They had got everybody out and whatnot, but yeah, Trump started all this shit. Another incident. Somebody ran up in a in a school in Virginia, old Dominion University. I think that's in the Norfolk area, maybe. And they say that might be tied to the same thing because it maybe something he said or was wearing. I don't know. It's preliminary. But allegedly it's got something to do with it. Again, on U.S. soil, related to that shit that he started over there. Then you got some dudes, I think just last week was was throwing projectiles like uh uh uh IEDs or some shit in front of like the New York mayor's house. That that's definitely connected. Like they they admitted to that. Oh, we did this shit because of, well, it wasn't a war, but it was related to like that angst about that, you know, the uh relationship over there. Like he don't even know what he did. He don't even know what he did. Um but when it comes to, you know, like tagging these alleged or or or tagging, tagging uh what you call motives and shit before all the all the investigating is done, that that's for another show too. So um we're gonna get on this other shit though when I come back. Quality matters. Details make the difference. At Rivermark Solutions, we believe great service starts with listening and ends with results you can trust. No shortcuts, no guesswork, just smart solutions built around you. Rivermark solutions. Clarity you can count on. Well, motherfuckers is up in arms over silly shit in sports again. Let's start with Jalen Brown of the Boston Celtics. What happened was he was ejected uh earlier this week, and ejected from a game. It was early in the game, too. Like uh second quarter, I believe it was. Um he was mad about a miss call. I think he was supposed, so I think they supposed to call foul, or somebody had fouled him and didn't call it or whatever. The ball went the other way because it went out of bounds. He was mad, barking at the official, they text him, right? He talking shit. Uh so he starts walking away, but then he comes back. I don't know what he's saying, but he's coming back like he wants to do something. Tecked him again and threw his ass out. He doubled back. Now, a lot of the talk is, you know, this was this was a meaningful game. I I forget who they were playing, but you know, it was it was two teams who who was in it, you know, to win it or whatever. Ain't the playoffs yet, but it has playoff implications, I'm sure. Seatings and stuff, probably, right? Um, and and he's a star, you know. You he's gotta get the call. You just gotta get a man the call. You know, he's he's the man, it's him. Uh and plus you gotta make that call. You can't not miss the call. You're standing right there. Right? I think these are a lot of the things that a lot of people are saying. Matter of fact, uh, I heard uh Stephen A. Smith said uh something about the actual ref who threw him out. I was like, he said, who and who were you? You know, like who was he that throw the man out? Because he ain't he ain't the head rep. He's just a ref out there, right? And so like, wow, that's these are things that you know I've heard people saying as far as like why they was mad about him being thrown out. You feel me? On the other devil's advocate side, though, you could also say, well, shit, man. Jalen Brown cries about calls a lot. I think he thinks he should they should call foul. You know, he should go to the for the three free throw line every time he touched the ball. Matter of fact, uh he probably feel like he got fouled when he wiped his feet on the towel before he comes on the court. Right? Always complaining. So number one, grow the fuck up, motherfucker, you know. Uh you're making a whole lot of money. It's a fucking kids' game. It ain't that fucking serious, number one, right? With all the money you're making. And and and and and two, like, man, I'm glad I ain't got no fucking kids looking up to you like so you could teach them, you know, they want to be like you so they can argue at the fucking refs. I don't want my kids arguing at the refs. It's the coach's job. Shit. Ain't my job. I go out there and play. Do what I can. The coach can see the fucking game and let him get tech and thrown out. Because he don't do no scoring. Shit. And then refs gonna miss calls. They're not fucking perfect. You know? They not. They could be better, you know. They could be. Jalen Brown says it a lot. Matter of fact, he didn't got fined for it. Play fucking basketball and stop crying. And Stephen A. Smith talking about who is this motherfucker to he's an a man, he's an official out there. He gets paid to do that shit, right? Official with a whistle. And apparently, if he didn't have the authority to do it, it wouldn't happen. He has the authority. Now, let's move on to Bam out of Bayou, because there's it's a lot of talk about that shit too. Up in arms over silly shit in sports, like I've talked about before. But this one is is crazier. Bam out of bayou. Played for the uh Miami Heat, I believe, been their whole career. Uh ups and downs. Um this man in one game just scored 83 fucking points. By itself. Only person ever scored more was Wilt Chamberlain, who scored a hundred. That's the record. Ain't nobody scored more than a hundred. Somebody has scored more than eighty-three. Ain't nobody scored more than a hundred. But eighty-three? By your damn self. This conversation is happening though, because the person that has eighty-two is Kobe Bryant. I guess people feel like one of the supposed to you know, be between Kobe and Wilt or whatever. Or maybe that the uh the team that that that band was playing against wasn't one of the greatest teams out there. Actually they're one of the one of the lower teams in tier, I believe. Maybe maybe he had some help to where people was fouling to get him to the line intentionally. Maybe help him score a couple more, right? I've heard people say that, you know, it don't even make sense for him to even to allow him to do that because that ain't what he does. He ain't no score like that. You know. I think his his his previous high was like 40 maybe. Which was crazy, right? And then they was like, well, the coach should have took him out, you know, to preserve, you know, Kobe's 83. Uh wasn't a meaningful game because they was whooping them niggas ass and then it wasn't even a for nothing. In the meaningless, non-competitive game. I get all of that. Every single bit of it. But I do have an answer for you. And you knew it was coming. First of all, the man scored 83 fucking points alone by himself against five other motherfuckers. Now, I don't know about y'all, but I don't think none of y'all can do that shit in the NBA, the professional basketball shit. If you can, talk your shit then. Talk your shit. But I promise you, it won't be many of y'all talking. Yes, that fucking many. That many of y'all be doing that. 83. Come on, man. Y'all can't do that shit. Number one. Way to go, bam, though. Good God, bro. Congrats. He did his fucking thing. Also, I don't think the man has much influence on which teams his team plays against, nor how well that team is doing or is going to do in a season or any given night. I just don't think that's the case. I could be wrong. I'm usually not. And another thing. Bam Alabado don't coach the fucking team, neither one of them teams. Matter of fact, he don't coach no NBA team. He's a player right now. A player. He ain't gonna take himself out. Motherfucker had 30 points in the first quarter. Hell no. And if the coach asked me to come out, it's gonna be a fucking fight. Which one of y'all gonna wanna come out after 30 points in the first quarter? Again, silence. Fucking silence. I don't hear that bullshit. Are y'all crazy? Do you know how you sound right now? Exactly. Gee, fucking whiz. He got his though. Right? What you gonna do about it? He has 83. So you need to find something else to cry about. Are you enjoying the podcast? Well subscribe now. And be the first to hear our latest episodes. It's quick and easy. Alright, y'all, before I go, man, I got a bone to pick with the motherfucking food delivery driver. If that's you, hey, the shoe feet wear it. If it ain't you, you might be picking the same fucking bone with these motherfuckers. First of all, let's get to the restaurant. Alright, before the driver even comes. Restaurant. Why don't y'all get y'all shit straight first? Give me my utensils, bitch. I put the check mark for utensils for a fucking reason, because I need utensils. Let me get that right. And then if I order sides, like something that's gonna drip or run, like mashed potatoes or gravy or green bean, anything with juice or something, soup. Put the cup or the bowl right side up. Even if you gotta use nine bags. Like don't be trying to put seven sides in one small bag and you're putting them sideways and shit dripping everywhere. What kind of sense does that make, bro? Stop doing that. Stop it. And do do you eat wet bread? Didn't think so. I do not either. So wrap it, put it in a separate something or whatever, but you can't just sit it on top of the fucking greens. You know what I'm saying? And then close the box and think with that steam and everything and the green juice that my bread gonna be alright? It's not, bruh. It's not. Let me bring your food looking like that, bruh. And drivers. Why the fuck is you knocking on my door, bruh, and the fucking the doorbell is glowing in your fucking face right there. It's glowing. Press that bitch. We can have a whole fucking conversation on it, but we won't. But don't knock on my fucking door if I got a note that says ring my fucking doorbell. Speaking of notes that you're not reading, don't put my fucking food on the ground. Bruh. The note says that, number one. And then especially in wet conditions, really. That's how much you think of me and eating and shit. And my food? Man, we can't be friends though. For real, like that. Not if not if your if that's where your mind is. We we can't. We can't even be acquaintances, bruh. I don't even want you delivering my food. You feel me? Don't do that shit. It's in the notes, bruh. And you're supposed to be here by a certain time, right? When I ordered, I ordered because you would be here in 30 to 45 minutes. It don't say, oh, by the way, this motherfucker worked for DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub, and the other motherfuckers, too. You trying to do nine orders in one trip. I ordered breakfast, bruh, at nine something. I'm supposed to be here like 10, 10, 15. By the time my biscuit comes, it's 11.30, bruh. It's lunchtime, man. Because you're trying to drop off six more shits before you get to me. And you started in the suburbs, my guy. Like, come on, man. Don't do that shit to me, bruh. Don't do that, man. And I tip well. Come on, man. Let's not do that. You can't do that. And I know that you, you know, they put tape on the bags, they have them sealed, so you can't check. You know, that that my condiments ain't in there, if my order's wrong, like, you know, if it's something on my sandwich I can't I I can't eat. But you know good and damn well it's supposed to be a drink with that, could. Did you drink my soda or you just forgot it? Bruh, bring me my fucking drink, dog. That's all I'm asking, man. I'll holla.
