Like August 1st, I'll probably stop. And then I'll probably drink a little bit through August. And I'm going to plan a Schlitterbahn trip from actual birthday, where I want to rent out our Airbnb for one night. And then go to Schlitterbahn Drive there like carpool. Maybe it was like ten people. If we can get a good group going carpool there early in the morning, get there when they open. Spend all day at Schlitterbahn and then go to the Airbnb that night. Board games chill and drink and get hammered, and then wake up for check out at 11 and just drive home and be hung over the next day at home. Okay, that'll be tight. But then August 1st I'll start drinking so I can build up a lot of tolerance. Because if I am, I usually the first time. If I haven't drank in a while, I'll get drunk like fast. Dude, easy. Like I drink for I drop my drink. No, that's the marker. That's a mile marker. That's what a oh, that's that's when other people know I'm fucked up. I don't want. Them to know. Yeah, know. That's like a visual cue. Math is fucked up. Oh, that party fell. No I'm not. It's like you are, bro. I'm fine. I'm fine. That drink on the floor says you're not fine. There's an accident. It could have been anybody. I was hanging out with the. Bed, so. Hey, you know. That in Austin. We went to, like, a patron citron us when they came out with that. Okay. Yeah, it was like a no no. Say it was a tasting or like, a marketing event. Yeah, it was for, like, the people that ordered liquors for restaurants or patron. Yeah. And then they, he brought me as a plus one and then I just accidentally dropped a drink. That's all. Oh fuck me, dude. But it was. Like a big party. Like lots of people. Deejay. Hundreds, I would say thousand. Maybe between hundred and 200 people. Okay. On the top floor of this big room, we're sitting at the bar, and. I don't know, man, just fucking slipped out of my hands. I'm not. Sure. It's like a glass. Yeah, like a glass of beer or like a. Like a Collins margarita. Like a Collins glass. Okay. I don't think it broke. No, it didn't break. Maybe. I think I just, like, knocked it over when I was talking. Okay. And it spilled, but still. Party fell. Yeah, but he fell. And that's devastating. As the drop. Though, the drop, full. Drop and shatter. The drop and shatter will make it make your butt pucker. He like. Oh. And there are some times where like, the pop is like, deep. Like I work on Saturday, there was a pop that was deep and it wasn't. It wasn't a glass. It could tell the difference. It wasn't like a wine glass. It was like a fucking mason jar. Full of all sorts of shit. Yeah. There's a. Yeah, it was a. The dropping shatters. Devastating the fucking. We should clock out, go home. People like not a rude way. Just like, there's a fucking. That's a synonym for fire. Fire up the fire on the spot without due process. That that will stay here. Clock out. Go home. Bob. If I might, I. Want to I go home, people. And then. And then decide if I want to fire him. But you're done for sure. Yeah. Sub out of the game. As far as I'm concerned. Right now, you can just change, shower, change, get on your own Uber home. Going to ride the bus with us, dog. Sorry, bro. Not tonight. Not. You're not. I think we should do that. People sometimes. And also like having to have a consequence I think generates more care. You're like, I'll fucking send you home dog. Yeah, I think it's just, it's just a I think it's just a that just is true. You know, there's some people who care naturally. And I think everybody, if you're working at a restaurant, every on staff person isn't actively trying to break things, you know. So everyone cares at least that much. Yeah. It's to try to break things so that we're trying to at least to do that, you know. But then if there is that added pressure off the clock, I go home, you're like, oh shit, that I don't want to catch that extra. Yeah. You would think like, oh, I get to go home. But it's like, Russell, I. Don't want to go home like that and walk us in. Yeah, yeah. It's a nice walk home, but it's a walk of shame. A little pressure is. Good, but. Yeah. So it's. I'm not going to over the drink. It's not as big of a it's a party foul but it's not. What's the what's the difference there for sure. Party foul. That's like a common thing. But if someone drops it versus someone just knocking it over. The problem. Is, is that I had also I had knocked over a drink at dinner to. Fuck. So it was the second time you're done? Exactly. Yeah, exactly. Fucking done. Well, there was my dog, but no, like, he's not just like Julian. It's not just like you. Like close. Close. Well, even. You would probably be like, bro. What the fuck, bro? He's cut off. But could I have another one, please? Like I'm not. I guess he wants to kill me for the both of us, but yeah. Yeah, yeah it was. I felt bad, but the problem was I had drank in a while. That was the thing like that. That's the one. I will start over again. So here. Yeah. So then I feel like that night I learned like, okay, if I know I'm going to drink, I need to drink a couple times than the week before. So I just I get a little tolerance. My body can get a little used to agave salad. Yeah. Was having to deal with and process alcohol. Yeah, yeah. Because then once I build up just a tiny bit of tolerance, then I can do the all night drinking thing, like, you know, big guys can drink. It's hanging out drinking. I can do, like. Drinking some brewskis with the brewskis. Yeah, yeah, I can do the two brewskis before we go out. I can do the two drinks at the dinner. Then we can. I can go to the bar afterwards and drink two drinks. And I'm still like, good all night, but I'll be fucked up if I didn't drink for a month. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And that. Happens is I don't drink at. Home. Tolerance is real. A lot of people go home and have a beer cocktail. They stop at the bar on the way home and have a drink. A glass of wine. Yeah. It's just not in my. I just don't do that. Yeah. No. Me neither. I don't think aside from now, I guess lent was after our wedding, but aside from our wedding in March, I don't think I drank at all. You know, saying, like, maybe just samples of wine at work. Yeah, and that's it. Like. That's it. I can't remember again. Christopher's wedding. Same thing. My brother's wedding. Less last month. Yeah. Fucked in April, I know in April. That was a month ago. Almost. It was in the 24th of April and we are now in like the. Holy. Shit seven or don't. Have legitimate. Okay. Like two weeks. Yeah. Three. Two and a half. Two and change. But Thursday it'll be three weeks. But yeah, it's going by click through. On a whole lot of people. Yeah. Let's bring him in. Where. Hello. What's up my guest. Welcome in everyone MJ 38 show episode. 8080 deep. That's 80. That's hard. The show. That's a lot. That's a lot. It takes a fucking minute to get to there. Yeah, dude, I'm here. 80 weeks is over a year. A year and a half almost. If you've been watching the podcast the whole time, you saw this at your table for a while. So I was in the fucking the in the depths, in the depths of the dungeons. Yeah. Now we got the studio. Now I'm going to relocate the studio here and, I don't know, a few months, five months, six months something. Yeah. Do a more of an at home studio. Yeah. Something. Our fourth setting. Yeah. We've seen all the evolution. Cool. From from inception to now. And even on the first episode we were talking about how the first episode came about. We've been doing this for a long time. Sure. So have you been on for any amount of time? Appreciative. Before you were watching guide to the grindstone. God, fist in the air. Oh yeah. This one dog from Hops and Hounds will shout him out. Do him know his name? Shout out my dog, you shout at us out. So I got to shout you back. I reciprocate that love. Yeah, he's that store. Long story short, my wife was out with some friends and they were at a concert, I believe. And then one of her friends has a coworker they met up at this concert as well. Not on purpose, but just in passing. It's like, oh man, what's up? Yeah, not much conversation. Conversation? What pop culture you listening to? Watching, consuming. He's like podcasts. Okay, I podcast and he brings up our podcast. So it's just like a of my wife's friends coworker shout at us out in the you did. You did the mission, kid. Dude. You did it. Did it. Well, we're. Always telling people to do what we're preaching about. Whenever you really like that, like, appreciate someone's work or if, like, you just love a movie or a show or a piece of music that's gotten you going recently, you're like, man, this is you guys listen to this song or like, you gotta check this shit out. So having the ability to pay it forward in that sense. He did that shit. You did it. Bro, and I appreciate I don't even know your name. For my dog holding it down. It hops a house, hops a house. Fucking respect, bro. Okay. Made me curse for the first time on the podcast. I did our podcast now for you. Big respect. Explicit. I'm gonna write you into a song like I Got Dogs, I hounds, hops a house holding it down. I don't even know their name, but I don't know. I'm working on a farm. I'm working on the bars. But I'll get you in a song. Yeah, absolutely. Tell a friend, be a friend. Absolutely. Love you guys. We'll roll in deep. It's been a minute. So shout out to everyone who's been watching. Continue to watch and start and watch and talking about us. Talking about watching. It's all. It's all going up and watching. It's all going. I was watching. Watch about us talk about us talking about. Other things. Talking about you watching us. Talk about you watching us talk about stuff. Let's talk session if we're getting deep Leonardo again, deep value. Yeah. So shout out to the folks at home. Shout out everybody. We absolutely love you all. Hopefully your life is going beautifully. Scratch that. Hopefully you are given the blessing of awareness enough to see your life is going beautifully, imperfectly. I hope that's what you get. And when it's not. That's just facts. Well that's true. I don't even want to go into if it's not. But the thing about it is, if it's not, that's your moment. That's your moment, that's your opportunity is like when things are not going well, that is your opportunity for things to go amazing. So like if things are going great, you have no. Like transcending good a good time. Exactly. That transcends a good game. Or it's like like the back and forth or like the comeback victory. Like you know. You know, who has the greatest opportunity to do the most amazing thing we've seen in a long time right now? Fucking shredder. Sanders. Shredder. Yeah. Fifth round draft picks right there. If you would have been a first round draft pick, he'd have a lot of opportunity to disappoint. Yes. And that would be the predominant storyline. Or if he did amazing it would be expectation. You're like, okay, he's doing what we thought he was gonna do. But now if he does, amazing. His opportunity for a great story to to arise to the cream. It's it's the avenue is there for him. So in your life when things aren't going exactly how you want them to go, bad breakup work got fired, demotion stuff's happened in your family. Like it's opportunity for you to enter the realm of transformation. And that that doesn't arise. Just like everyday life. So, yeah, when things aren't going well, this is your opportunity. Dig in, dig in, and people will be wrong about you. You just have to transform into who you know you are. Thanks. Let's do it. I'm into that. Just do it, bro. Nike hit it on the head, bro. Joe Rogan was talking about I was listen, I scrolled, I started scrolling because I was like, man, I'm listen, the amount of Joe's I've listened to every Joe Rogan for like at least two years, probably three, maybe four. Boys caught up. I'm in there. It's, I listen to every episode, but then I was thinking about that sentiment and I'm like, well, let me just scroll until I catch one that I didn't watch, okay? And I found Gary Clark Jr, you know, that is no idea. He's a musician I apologize. Sorry Gary Clark sorry Gary. You get the shout out though. Yeah. But sometimes the musician was I don't like if I don't know the musician or. The band or. Yeah, whatever. Yeah. Like, they're harder for me to listen to sometimes, but I'm listening to this and they're talking about he wants to show him a song. So it shows on the song. Who just shows him. Gary shows Joe a song and it's called go With Him. Okay? And then Joe's like, that's a flex, bro. Like they listen to it and they cut right back to after they listen to it. And he's like, that's a flex bro. So go with him. He loves you more Joseph. That's why I love you. But if you if he loves you more hey go him. That's a flex bro. That was the like the energy. Behind the song is like a breakup song to a degree. Yeah, okay. And Joe's like. That's hard because otherwise, like, that's a hard sentiment. That's a, that's a Drizzy esque position to take in regards to this central problem of getting broken up with and like the way that he's standing, I'm not sure what genre it is, but regardless, he's standing in the same xyzzy as Drake about how to handle that or how to process that. That's exactly what Joe was saying. Yeah, he didn't say Drizzy, but he said everything else. Yeah, that. Was like the point he was making. Like. And some people need to hear that. They need someone to like, they need to show them, hey, this is how you can feel about that. So like, you see that thing you're looking at? I see the thing you look at, I can look at it from over here. Yep. It's like, what the fuck is that? Joe even said. Hard. He's like. He's like, that's a hard way to look at it. I was like, yo. Dog. This was the first time I've heard him say that to. And then he. Never says that. No, but he said it. I was like, I almost rewound it so I could be like, did he really say. That's hard? Yeah, I see that. Yeah. And then they just talk for like probably 15 minutes about like, yeah, you got to be able to like when you get broken up with like if you're a kid who you've broken up with, it's like, oh your world's ending. It's like those are the harder break ups. And when you're an adult, you don't know how to handle it. And some people are like kind of depressed about home life. It's like all their happiness is coming from the relationship. They don't know how to generate their own happiness. Yeah, but you got to be, you know, that girl is on a path. You know you can't. Know. That every girl you're with is like the girl you're supposed to be with. And even if a girl is fun, you can have a great time with a girl. But maybe that girl is not supposed to be the the one and only for you. Just because you have fun with her and you got to be able to say, okay, okay, go with him. Because that's hard. Yeah. Especially if that's like the or if that's the, the natural direction of both parties or of the, of the triangle. You know what I'm saying. If it's like it's like all right then. And just, just also like man, like the guy that took your girl is going to look at you and be like, well, he said, what? Yeah, yeah, yeah, right. I don't want anymore. I don't I don't want this at all anymore. I should be. Like he said, you could just you could just go with me. Oh, shit. Okay. And then the girl is going to be like, wait, you don't care. Like you're you're just. Okay. Well, you should be excited or like, yeah, yeah. It's a to him to to the. To the guy that. Yeah. Yeah. Just like you can have it. He's he can have it for what. No, no I know what I'm saying. And then the novelty of the relationship's going to wear off. And then all of a sudden she's, you know, hey, you said you were going to call it five. You call it six. What's going on? Where? Where are you? What are you doing? Let me see your phone. Oh, this is going to go on. And then all of a sudden, you know, she's gonna be like, well, what what's what's all boy up to? I mean, plus, last time I heard from him was a hard sentiment came out of his chest. He was speaking words of life and death in the same time. Yeah. I couldn't tell what was going on. And that Joe Rogan was just, like, really advocating for this position of like, no, do what you got to do. And then that's kind of like where that feeling that I'm talking about right now comes from is like, it's the opportunity to be like to say the harder sentiment to like, take the high ground almost when bad things happen and shit, they're doing the same thing, man. Everything he's saying, everything come out of his mouth is like the perfect words should. That's Deion Sanders son does it. He has multiple sons, right? Yes. It says all this, I'm assuming. I'm not sure. I don't think he's oldest. Okay. Because. Because I know he is. I just I'm saying, I was assuming that there was another son because I would have figured that if there was, he would have been mentioned in previous NFL drafts. So if he was also in the same, I'm assuming he's in the same sort of football. I think their oldest son role isn't in the league. He does the media for all the Sanders people, like he does the cameras and the shooting, the videos and editing the videos. I think he heads up like their Sanders family department. Yeah. Or. But he does have a brother named Shiloh Sanders who played with him at, Colorado. Yes. But where are they play before that? Not Louisiana Tech. They played in the same conferences like Jackson State, Jackson State, they played together. Jackson State, he was head a gang general. He's a safety cornerback. Divac. And then they both went to Colorado. And then they played at Colorado together as starters. And then they both entered the draft together. Then Shiloh didn't get drafted, but he was an undrafted free agent signing to the bucks. So he's plays with the bucks now. Apparently he's standing out minicamp. He looks really good. He's you'll see him on the field. I'm sure they're gonna talk about him. Shiloh Buccaneers games. And then Chardon got slid from. They supposed to be like a first round draft pick. Projected, like second quarterback off the board behind cam Ward, maybe even a top ten pick. Said all the way down. It was like, all over the media is all over Instagram. I'm sure you saw some. They're saying that he had the worst interviews he ever had, that he doesn't have good character. I saw this thing. I said he walked in wearing so much Cologne that the executive on the team was like, hey, let's go take a walk because he thought he was going to throw up because it smelled so pungent in. The strong of Cologne. Yeah. And this is facts. I don't think so. I think is that facts? Is that fake news? I think it's, I think it's a conspiracy of collusion to, for whatever reason, take a shot at the Sanders family. Wow. I think the old money was tired of the my time. I think they were tired of the chains. I think they were tired of bringing key Glock into the locker room. I think Deion Sanders walks into any room he's at and he's like, let me say some crazy shit. He swung and. He swang it and bang in his swag on a thousand. Yeah. So push it so much P black hole of P. Just. It's a literal thing you can do. You can walk into a room and become a black hole. All the attention, all. Of the entirety of all the previous orbit. Fuck all that up. All that orbit's done. Fuck what you thought was going to happen. I'm here now that. Deon Sanders does that. That's the only thing that's good. Like that combined with the fact that Shiloh, not Shiloh, Saddam was talking about he was going to do the Eli Manning, which. Is what. If you get drafted by the team that you really don't want to go to? Yeah, you'll just not sign the contract. Oh, Eli Manning did that. Yeah. What? He was gonna get drafted by the Chargers I think. And their team was not good. And he was just like, no, I'm not gonna sign that contract. Like I'll just take a year off and I'll train and I'll enter the next draft and we'll see what happens. Then if that's what you gonna do with it. Diabolical. Waste your draft, pick your draft traffic. Oh oh. Oh, sorry. Reconsider. That's a little talk. Reconsider. Up some literature. Oh, that's that's. Three stack. Two. Three. Six. Oh, they are our. National players. Adam. That's, So John Elway did the same thing. Really? Yeah. That sounds like somehow. Shit. Eli Manning got it from. A little bit. A little bit of. The spirit of the draft. It's it's spirit of horseshit. Is that it's not the spirit of the draft by any means. That's not cool, dog. You should go where you get drafted. Because the league is it's it's just it is what it is like. And you know who upholds the spirit of the draft. You know, you think they get the first pick. They suck. I'm sorry. Yeah. This is what it is man. Yeah. And the people that uphold the spirit of the draft are some, in my opinion, some cranky old white billionaires. And they, they ain't playing with that Deion Sanders shit. So they were thinking, well, wasn't he going to get originally projected to get picked by the Browns anyway. Yeah right. They got him and they got him anyway. Totally. So he's going to sign that shit. He did. But I guess you were you were saying that he potentially could have used that as a card or as a move to not sign and say fuck you or like, do my own thing. Let's see, like, let's say like Tennessee was going to draft him. Maybe he did, but if he didn't want to go there, he was going to be like, nah, not into it. There's also like, someone else did it where they got they were a baseball player and a football player, and they were like, now into the MLB draft and play your baseball and come back and then got shifted around till they found a better situation. Really? Yeah. But this, this I mean the NBA does that more or less like the idea where the players around the league, not the billionaires around the league, like the players are like, nah, I'm not going to play for you now. I don't want to go there. They do run the league. They are what we watch. They are the product. This is the bigger conversation. What? Let me tie this up and then I want to get to that. Do it. But so that's a lot of people said that the Luka trade was billionaire saying like I run the fucking league, bitch. You don't run the league. You don't make teams. You don't decide what gets to happen here. Like I'll trade Luka Doncic. I don't I don't care, I'm gonna move this team to Las Vegas. Actually, I don't care. So like that was what I had heard about the Luka trade was the billionaires were like, we own this bitch. You guys don't own this bitch, okay? But it kind of bred out of this, like, head butting with, like, who runs the league? The the people that own the teams or LeBron James. It's like the people that supply the product to the people to deliver the product, like the actual product itself. And so I think that in the spirit of that, what I think happened is that the owners decided or maybe it was just the people in the top ten picks decided, hey, fuck shooter, fuck Deion Sanders like that dude. He can do his own thing in his own line. But what we're going to do is we're going to put the word out through the leaky pipes that this guy is an asshole, that he doesn't listen, has shitty interviews, uses crazy slang, isn't paying attention. Overdress brings a posse of people. We're just going to say he was the worst interview we've ever had of all time. Let him slide down to the fifth round, then we'll let Cleveland take him. Okay, everybody claim was going to take this guy. All right. But we're going to he's not going to make his 5,000,001st round draft big money. He's going to make bullshit a fifth round draft pick money and we'll teach them a lesson. He's lucky if he gets to play in the league at all. Okay, we could just say we don't want this kid if we really wanted to. I'm like. Can you can you say that? I don't think so. I don't think you really get to deny raw talent. You can't deny the truth. The truth that he belongs. The truth. You can. Yeah, but that's the head book. Is that I think people that think like especially older folks, they're like nah they didn't put in the time, they didn't kiss the ass that I kissed. They didn't they didn't wait in line like they're supposed to. And this person's coming in with all this PE and they want to run things. It's like, nah bro. We're the ones who are in charge and we're going to teach these people a lesson. And I think that's exactly what happened with Shooter Sanders. Maybe he's not that good. Maybe. What was Colorado's record? I couldn't tell you at all. I can tell you, they were undefeated for a while. Colorado's record was good. I don't need to beat. Okay? They came out, and they just kept winning, bro, because everybody thought, like, okay, well, demon Sanders, like, they're not that good. He was there for a year or two years. I won't say two years later cuz yeah, yeah. Because I think I remember the first year they beat. I think I want to say it was the first year that they were rocking, and they came out and beat like a top five team or a top three team or TCU in the first week or some shit. Fuck yeah. They know. It was like, oh shit, they out here balling on them. But they didn't do amazing. They didn't have a I think they ended up losing like 3 or 4 games a year at least, maybe more. Yeah. But then last year they're going on a run. Last year they went on a run though. Yeah okay. And it's just like everyone thought they weren't going to be that good. And maybe they're not that good. Maybe they would have lost Alabama by a lot. But regardless if shit there comes out and takes the Browns to the playoffs, even if he just plays well week in and week out, not that many quarterbacks are playing well week in and week out. Nope. It's going to be like an obvious finger pointing towards yeah, you guys tried to hold this kid. If he flops, if he's not that good, if he's not league ready, maybe that's the best, right? That's the better. If they were going down this this is hypothetical land. If they were going in with this scheme of trying to fuck this kid over there, that's the only thing that could fucking foil their plan, really, is if he comes down just. Balls, kid. If he. Balls like, I mean, maybe y'all were kind of trying to hold him or something, but they're banging more so on the fact that because it's hard to come out and just ball. In the. NFL, it is. You can't just come out and do that. If people could. Everyone be doing, everyone be doing it and everyone would be in the league. Yep. But nah, Jayden Daniels is in the league. Exactly. And he did that shit. Yeah he. Did. So I was like, if he can come out and have a season esque like that, even close to it or even something decent, then it's like, oh man, because it's hard to do that. It's hard to be a starting quarterback. Like he's like, is he going to start? You finally going to start right. Isn't Jameis Winston still in Cleveland. No he's not there anymore. He's in New York because of the Giants I think. Oh okay. So who was the quarterback before the drafted him. They drafted a guy in the first round who wasn't him. What. Yeah yeah they they took another or maybe maybe it wasn't their first round draft pick. Maybe it was their second or third round draft pick. But they took the quarterback. Yeah. But he's not getting the love. Browns camp. Oh the love's going to. They're really apparently he's like more charismatic. Like he's literally playing better. The players like hanging out with him a little bit more because he's fucking a Sanders swag. Yeah. Swagged out. There's pictures of them all doing the. Oh, no. Yeah, yeah. It's getting. Real awkward over at Cleveland. Right? Yeah. For real. Especially if that first quarterback drafted guy, you're like, hey man, I'm just a by standard of social circumstance. Meaning I'm not a gamer. And half the time I just want to perform well. I watch. Film, yeah, I try hard, yeah, I drink water. I had I better. Stats, I sleep like. Yeah, totally. If he just balls out, he balls out. Whoever's, whoever's performs, whoever does the thing, whoever does the fucking thing. Quarterbacks also a leadership position. So players got to want to rock with you. That's important. We were talking about the off camera. Just like the ability to make someone want to work hard for you. Yeah. You know I'm saying like that's my leader. Yeah. Totally. Go hard for that guy. Yeah. Leadership's like, a lot of things going to that. It's a weird thing. And one of the things is like the can you are not can you? But do you generate desire to go hard? It's like, can people rally around you? That's a really good way to put it. It's like some people don't. They have a real flat personality. It's like they're not really like driving. They're not like people aren't inspired to rally around them just naturally. It's like maybe they want to do they're good at their job. Maybe they got a family to feed. Maybe they're trying. They've got personal stake invested. But some leaders, you're like, I love playing for this guy. Like, I'll run through a wall for that guy. Yeah. That's what they say about the Lions head coach, right? Yep. Dan Campbell yeah. That was that's a dog. You can I can point it that and just say that thing that he does when people are like oh I want to fucking hit someone. When he coaches me when he talks I listen. Yeah. What is that? I don't know, conviction, passion, true leadership. It's like, it's weird too, because like, leadership and authority are not the same thing, like different stats, you know, or like, there's different things going on there because there's, like, in the evening, like the corporate world hierarchy, there's like managers, but even like the managers that they don't have, like a good leadership stat, they won't be listened to or like evoke that emotion of like, I want to go hard for this person. Totally. I want to do well and exceed that expectation because for whatever reason, I don't fucking know what that is. So like, we're kind of talking about it labeling as leadership so they don't have the leadership set, but they are literally in a position of authority over the people under them, like their servers or whoever, whatever their subordinates are, if they're in a the call center or whatever sort of corporate job you got manager general manager, area manager, district manager, totally all that type shit and people under them. So you can literally be in a position of authority and have authority, but authority and leadership, authority power. I guess like ability to make someone do something. And if they don't do it, negative consequence will incur. So like I have the ability to make that happen to you. So like that's like power over somebody or authority. I can tell you to do something if you don't do it. Insubordination like I find it the job changing a reality for your kid. But I can change a reality like this. Power, authority, whatever. Definitely some people have that are in those positions, but they they don't. They might not even maybe they think that that is the leadership step or, you know, saying like, oh, if I get to that position, people will follow me. People will listen to me. They have to like, nah, dog. They might have to listen to you whether or not willing, the willingness to listen to you, the willingness to play, the willingness to go hard and go the extra mile, that's a leadership thing. That's like a I'll follow this person into battle. Yeah. Like whatever the fuck's going on there. They're different things. They don't. Have to. Like. They have to. Yeah, or they'll get fired. Yeah, but they don't have to. It's not like there's not a little gun to their head, you know what I'm saying? It's not like zero one, like, analog situations, like they have to be on one. That's the only way it operates like other people. Yeah. So, like, they don't actually have. Free will, bruh. Exactly. Right. And that's like, let's just that this is like a common thing I think about, like let's say it's a call center. And then there's like the manager of the call center and there's people making the calls that say the business makes their money from the calls being successful. Yes. It's like, well, the business relies on the callers. Yes. The business doesn't rely on the manager. Like the actual like what makes the business work? Profit. There's no profit for a long enough time. The business fails unless they inject money. And then it's like, well, maybe the people injecting the money are the ones that have the, like, power or the authority, the one that we need those people. It's like, well, those people won't be making the money. A business makes money. So who makes the fucking money there? It's like the callers. So then like a good leader knows that in my. Opinion, yes. No. Was that so much so and holds that above anything. They, they should they have to. Yeah. Because what's your job to make money. Yeah. But you don't get to put your hands on the situation where the money. Gets really one thing. You can't be all the cogs. You literally your job description is to not generate money. Like generate money isn't in your job description because your job description is to manage the people generating the money. So it's just the callers. Yeah. So like even football players, same thing. Do anything like the coach doesn't generate the first downs. They don't generate the wins the the touchdowns, the championships like they do but they don't. So like this this head bucking of ownership versus players, it's like man. Like if you want to steamroll all the players because you're the big you're the fuckin you own the team. It's like, you can do that. But I mean, goddamn, you're not going to get what you want. Like you're just not. And so I think that the the callers in the call center, they have to know for sure that they're not the people who keep their jobs. If somebody decides, hey, you don't get to keep your job anymore, like that's a reality and you must contend with that. That's why you have to, like, respect your leaders. Otherwise you just get like, cut. But then you don't have a job anymore. Like that's true too. So I think, like the leader needs to know that the callers make the money, and the callers need to know that the leaders give them their job. Yeah. It's a it's definitely a both way, totally type thing to work. But if I'm being like the thing that is super true about that situation, regardless of what position you are in the situation, the callers make the fucking money. Yeah. So I personally would try to cultivate a situation where the callers feel respected, they feel powerful, they feel, like supported and everything is in line for them to go the fuck off. Yeah. In the NFL, I'd be like, I'd want to make sure the cafeteria was nice. Like, what's the what's the food situation? How good is the locker room? Oh, like. How nice of the amenities. Right, dude. Because I want to give them every opportunity to fucking gobble. Fuck off. I want to say 100%. And if they're not going off, they can't point any finger at anything that we're not doing well for them. Like we give we're giving you every opportunity to what do you need? Tell me what you need. And then at that point, if they're they might not be the right quarterback, might not be the right running back. That's the thing. Totally. That's the thing too, because it's a both way. You can see it on both sides. If you're like the if you are the ownership who is in the authority position and supplying everything that the players who make all the money are the callers who make all the money or those hands on the ground, boots on the ground, hands on the product, people who are doing all the fucking work, like those two different parties. If you were in the ownership party, then you and you give everything that they need to the employee party or like the players and like and they're still like buck and or give an attitude or being fucking a prima donna or whatever. And it's like, not in our squad, bro. No, no, no, no, no organization. Totally. And then there's like the opposite could be true where it's like for in this example extrapolated, we've been talking about it for a minute now. But if Schrader is on the employee side, the one person making the money and like the people in the authority position ownership are like just like fucking him, then he can be like, I'm not playing for y'all. Fuck you guys. I'm gonna go play for somebody else. If he has like the true thing of he's like actually like the a solid employee, someone who, like, goes to work and works hard. Totally. You know. Yeah. Like it's like both ways. If his acts, if his asks aren't unreasonable, if they're reasonable asks. The other thing that's going on is there's truth involved. Yes. Like you can't run and hide from the truth. You can't. So if you're fucking up, life will fuck you back. If you're doing the right thing and you're going through bullshit like it'll you'll, you'll come to the other side of that, the truth will always come through. You gotta remove the the bullshit, the barricades. 100%. Whatever it's been the the, the weapons that have been formed against you, against truth. Like the lies or the the the blockades, the detours. That's all good. They'll get torn down over time. Yeah, well, it won't prosper. Because the truth will just take it out. It's facts. So that's that's the thing. If, like, you have a good player who's great at their job, they're one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the league, which means they should be one of the starting quarterbacks in the league. And their assets aren't unreasonable to have a great attitude like they're doing everything they're supposed to be doing, then like, you really can't hold that guy. You can, but then you're bringing negative circumstance into your own life. You're bringing karma is a weird word, but like. The the rebalancing of harmony. Exactly. Whatever you want to call that. Yeah. And you don't. If you're doing your job well, you shouldn't want to fight against the truth. You know, you should be willing to compromise and try to look at your own situate, like, what can I be doing better? How can I be better at my job? Right? Because the quarterback has to do the same thing. Yeah, but I think sometimes the ownership, they they're lawless. They're like, I, I'm the reason all this is even happening. I'm the reason for the game itself. Exactly. Yeah. But which I don't which is true. Which is not true. Exactly. So you shouldn't trade looking at like you that bro. Like you think that was a. Move from the Dallas. Okay. Now talking about basketball. That was a move from the Dallas Cowboy. Like upper uppers who were thinking like. Oh yeah, it's so fuck me. It's up all over the place. Make sure y'all pay attention because I'm not. The fucking Luka Doncic trade. You think that was like upper management or ownership of the Dallas squad that was saying, like, maybe he was like a problem child and they wanted to get rid of them. That's what Dwayne White said. And they're saying, fuck y'all. We can do what we want. Like, I have a different a little bit different look on it. But Dwayne Wade, that was his take away. Okay. He's like that was ownership telling you guys I'm the ownership. You guys don't make the teams. I make the teams like you guys collect your fucking check. You guys clock and clock out. I don't know, like, I make the. Argument to the fans to, you know what I'm saying? Because none. If you asked every single Dallas Mavericks fan ever if they wanted that trade to happen or if they were agreed with it would support that trade, you literally couldn't even do it in two K. No, you're right, it was that. Ridiculous of a trade. You're right. No one would say, yeah, that was a good idea. They just went to the finals. It was Luka. He's the boy. It's like trading. Kobe like bruh. Fuck you. Right? No way. Oh, dude. Yeah, it's fucking going dark in the streets of. LA for real. Trade Kobe. After they go to the finals. It's like, bro, what are you talking about? What I think is going on is, Cuban sold majority stake of the Mavericks to someone else. And that was before the trade. Yes. I think it was in the summer before the year of that trade. And so he no longer was like the person that they have to go. Go through to make shots. Yeah. Exactly. I and make change. So then this new person who's a woman, I think that's not I'm just kidding. I'm just. Kidding. Layup. That's a layup. She Cuban said in an interview that the only basketball teams that are making money where they're like, why do you sell these? Like, basketball is not like a super profitable business anymore. Like, I can be invested in other things that make more money than the Mavericks are making me. So like, I'm not a basketball. Like, that's not my life. Yeah, my life is business. Making money. Exactly. The smart. My money, that's what fuck I do, okay, I understand, like Lucas got a hoop, I got to make money. So what I did was the the. Sorry, not what I did was. But the basketball teams that are making money where is a profitable enterprise are where there's casinos and where there's really big hospitality industries around. Big hotels and. Big hotels, nice restaurants, casinos. Because everyone goes to those games. Everyone. It's a destination. So like when you go to see. It's also more than just a game to there's other stuff to do, I guess. Exactly. Like you can spend the weekend there. Yeah, there you go. You could spend a week there. You could go, like if you're talking to make a. Trip out of it. Big money like millionaires, like they want to go to the game and they want to go to the casino. They want to get a suite. They want dinner, want to get massages going? Wanna go on the jet skis? Totally. So if you're going to sell really expensive suites at your game, then they have to be very desirable. If you want to have your suite cost $50,000 for the suite, people really gotta want to fucking go. Yeah, like what's going to make them really want to go is the other shit around the basketball arena. That's what's going to make the game. Is only a couple hours. Exactly. Yeah. So that's what that's what that was his take. And he's like. Sense makes sense. There's I mean Dallas is tight. It's tight. But there's not the same kind of like casino culture. Like I'm trying to think of places like, besides Las Vegas that have these really crazy Indiana. I guess there's their team in Louisiana for basketball. Yeah. The Pelicans. Yeah, yeah, the. But totally because New Orleans is. This one's. Crazy place. You can go. You could get there. Bourbon Street, huge thing. I don't think you can gamble in New York, but New York's got its own allure. They have yeah. New York is a it's a separate entity. It's a whole different. So fucking Big Apple big. It's the biggest apple. People love going there. People love being people love being able to say they're from their town saying, yeah, I've never been. So I can't really say anything. Fucking Knicks fan. Definitively. Definitively. Yeah, right. I mean, something different. Yeah. Performing at the garden. You know what I'm saying? That. Why is that always a thing? Like going off at the garden? Even Michael Jordan, Michael. Jordan, Kobe, LeBron. Just going off at the garden. I think it was like maybe the biggest arena back in like the 80s maybe. Yeah. So that makes sense. I meant. That different. Because Michael Jordan was even from or like popularizing basketball in New York. He's fucking playing for Chicago. Yeah, totally. But if people love New York, Jay-Z's from there. They have a cool statue. We got it from France. Appreciate it. You get it. So maybe the reason that, I think the reason that now, now, especially in this conversation where I'm like, wait a minute, there's not that many places where there's casinos. But I think the reason that Cuban brought it up. Tourism and general tourism. Sure. Okay. One of the, what I think is happening is that the lady wants to move the team to Las Vegas, to a place where it could be that profitable, really profitable enterprise. Yeah. And so one of the things you have to do that is like, I think the city can vote no. To not move this, not move the team. Yes. So to really demoralize the entire community that really fucking loved Luka and love the Mavericks, it was like a move. It was a it was a preliminary step. It was some, some pre trimming work for the blend. Exactly. That is goodbye Dallas. Hello LA or LV. So trade. Trade away the fucking boy. Let ticket sales die. Let let let's not be competitive. Let's tank for 3 or 4 years until everybody's kind of like over it. And then we'll get ourselves a vote, pass it and then move to Las Vegas where we can make some real fucking money. Yeah. So I think in five years the. Cubans didn't want to do that. No, I don't I think probably love looking at it too much. Probably love Dallas too much. Right. It's probably like, nah, I'll stay around for part of the game. Yeah. The heart of the city. Yeah. He's like, I'll just get out of there. Fuck that. Yeah. I don't want to be the person who brings down that franchise. Nah. No, I think he too much love. They got a dub. I was gonna say that that one championship. Yes. I have won a championship for sure. Yeah. With, the boy Nowitzki. Yeah. Derek. They had Dirk Pritchard. Jason Kidd was playing at that point. They had to. I'm pretty sure. And by the way. That there were. They did that shit. They were rebranding finding a blueprint again. Let's get a big tall fucking foreign white guy. Back in the face of the franchise. Make sure you can shoot threes that you've worked in the. Yeah. Let's get some of the Ray Donovan. That's the blueprint. But on the other side of the argument was ownership was saying that Luca was lazy. He was fat. He was drinking all the time. Yeah. You seen that video where the fucking guy the the GM that made the made the decision. He, like, walks up to Luca in the playoffs last year and just takes the beer out of his hand like it was after the game. They had won the game. I think it was like in the champ. I think it won the. Western. Conference, Western Conference and he's like, there's an interview in a camera in there, and he's like, and in the place around where the cameras are and he's just holding a beer. And then the guy comes. He's not even like, I don't think he's talking to a camera at that point in time. But obviously they're going to come for him. And the GM just walks up, takes the beer out of his hand and walks away and he's like. What the fuck, bro? And then like, people later were like, this was the moment right here. That was the beginning of the end. We should have seen it coming. I can't blame him, though. He was like. The coach, I guess, like I could see from both sides of the coin, but it's like we just one was, let's let's celebrate. Have a good time. Let's fucking go. I guess that's just like one isolated incident of that happening. But that happening was just like a momentary, like showing of maybe a thing that had been going on between the character dynamic for a long time, and that was like one instance of it that was caught on camera. Yeah. So I can see in that one instance on either side. But if it was a reoccurring thing, which probably was probably super annoying for Luca, I guess also. But I also feel like coach, I was like, bro, don't you want to be like talking to your all star? Like, don't you want to be fucking great? Like, don't you want to go to the fucking moon, kid? 100% the. Path you're always on. Moon. Moon path. Do you think Kobe was drinking a beer, right? Probably not. Do you think Jordan. Was getting chili sloppy before. They won the whole. Thing? I think he might have drank after he went to check the conference. Conference final? Yeah, okay. But yeah, that's the other thing is an isolated incident. Maybe. Maybe from the coach's side. He's been like that all season. Yeah. Right. So whatever. Maybe last playoffs or whatever the fuck it's different. Like if someone never drank and then he's going to have one. Beer after a celebratory like conference finals. Win, they had a they brought a 50 pack of beers into the locker room. They brought 50 bottles of champagne. Exactly. What? I could have a drink. Fuck it dude, come on. Who gives a fuck? Come on. But if he's lazy and arrogant and doesn't take coaching well. Reeks of alcohol in practice. Always hung over or, like, consistently or whatever that. Then, the idea could be, hey, we got a shot here, bro. We got a shot. Put down the fucking alcohol for two weeks. Yeah, I need you to focus the fuck up for the next series, bro. Yeah, it's four games or four games away from history, kid. Come on. There's a kid, Christian Gomez, who was, like, one of the best players on our football team. He drank so much from a 17 year old. Used to. He had a plug where he could take a keg, get his keg filled up, and they would just, like, let him do it, even though he was like 17. And then he just did that all the time. Having that like a gas station. No. Where do you get a keg filled? I think I like a liquor store, maybe. I have no idea. I've never done it. I don't know, some countries shit. Let's get a fucking four local call it a day. Yeah. That's how we eat. That's how we drink. That's how I. Handle that problem. Right? But no, he was going as keg filled up all the time. Building a bonfire out on his land and then inviting a couple people over and drinking out of his keg by the bonfire almost every night. That's pretty hard. Guess. Cool. I guess that means. If a cooler than a Four Loko. Some 17 year olds are older than other 17 year olds. For sure. You know what I'm saying? Hundred percent. He was one of those guys where he was kind of more like a 20 year old. He was. Already living. Yeah, living like an adult life. Yeah. But yeah, right. He reeked of alcohol time, man. There's there's games where people look would be like, man, dude, fucking Christian bro. I swear to God, this kid is fucking drunk, dude. Not right now. But, like, he's just permanently drunk all the time. He is a drunk. Like, he is actually. Like, And it was like this thing. And so if we were on a playoff run and it was like, Christian, I might be like, bro for one week, dog. Just fucking sober. Up. Yeah. But then then my better half would be like, actually probably needs to drink and I want him in withdrawal. Now, how do you I want you to maximize performance. Maximize performance, whatever that means for you. Maximize it. Yeah. Yeah totally. But like that's a different that's scenario. So that's the Nico Harris the GM was saying the Luca was that that's his stance is that Luca was this guy who wasn't practicing hard. He didn't condition. He never dieted. He's 30 pounds overweight for his target weight drinking all the time. It's like it doesn't play defense. Let's get the fuck off my team. I'll win with someone else. And then Dallas is like. You dumb ass. It's like. If you're the coach, do you let that happen? I don't think you have a choice, right? You got to kind of work with that. That's above your head. Let's say you're the GM. Like what happened? Okay. Like let's say Luca was what Nico Harris said he was. Got it. What? You have also just said, fuck you. Get out of here. If I'm the head coach. Yeah. Or the GM decision maker. Okay, so if I get to make the call. Yeah, it's on you. Oh, fuck. My initial inclination is to let him go, but I want to. Before I finalize that inclination, I want to have a sit down. We need to have an intervention. We need we need to have some sort of, like last stand. But what do we do? Whoa, whoa whoa. You got to listen to me, boy. I'm just gonna. You gonna put down that brewski? Yeah. Pick up damn weights, pussy boy. Yeah, you Slovenian bitch. Get him riled up a little bit. Oh, no. Yeah, yeah, get him fucking emotionally invested. I learn some. Slovenian because maybe he doesn't give a fuck. Or maybe that's a perception of the coach or the GM or whoever. But, like, if that is my perception, then I do believe that to be true, that I just want to make sure that that is true, or at least give Luca because he's a fucking boy. I dive into the. Life, give him. A shot. I'd be calling him day. What do you need? You need, like, a personal trainer with you. Like a live and personal trainer who's gonna like. You know what, David Goggins? I'll hire David Goggins, bro. We'll get you out here. We'll get you ready. For the finals next year. Yeah. Heart to heart like, bro, this isn't it. Like you got to play defense like, I. I get it, dude. 70 points. I get it, bro. You got to play defense like me up. I'm going to be in your ass every fucking day. Get back. Priority. That's our priority. Now. Yes, yes. Like, dude, those conversations can happen, bro. Yeah. If you're the person in power and your only move is cut that fucker. No, dawg, that's not. I'm deciding right now. It's like there are a hundred other things you could do, especially if it's the NBA. Maybe if you're the call center manager. I can't be in your ass all the time. You know, maybe. I can't hire David D'Agostino to live with you. Okay. Yeah, for Vex, but but but for Luka Doncic. I think David would be down. Mr. Goggins. Give me a give me eight weeks with this man. Yeah. So if it was like that, like in sports, there's this fraternity thing. Like you're in each other's lives, bro. Like y'all are basically a. Family shower together. Come on. It's literally ball swinging dog that was saying, like. You guys are on the road with each other. You probably see each other more than you see your families. And you're united on a common goal, like no one's in the NBA and they're like, I don't care if I win any championships. Yeah, it's just a job. These people are like that in the NBA. Jokic might be the only one. And he just dove enough on those bullets. He's dog. He's in the position to get to be like that because he wins chips. But no I think that people I think almost every person that's in the league is like desires a ring. Yeah I want to be on a championship team. Right. So I think that's yeah I I think there might be a 5% maybe, maybe 5%, then maybe even more. I'll say five, 95% of the NBA players, that's like, yeah, I want to be on a good team. I want to win. I want to win a championship at any cost, whatever that is. Whatever role I have to play in aiding us and helping getting there. I want to do that, to run, to win. But there might be 5% who are just like, yeah, I'm here to, I want to play basketball. I want to win. But like, I'm cool. I'll be any other way. As long as I stay healthy and I. Can get my paychecks, I'm guilty. Rejecting greatness is a crazy thing. So. So yeah, I get it. If Nico has had those meetings, if he emphasized the importance of whatever their core values were fitness, defense. And then Luka just refused. He's like, man, fuck this guy. Oh, fuck this guy. I'm not gonna listen to him decline the calls. Not going to pay attention in the meetings. I'm going to drink whatever I want. If he just continuously did that for a long enough time, then. But the other thing is that, like, dude, you're just in the finals. You were. Just in the. Finals. You guys didn't have a shitty season. I think they won. I think I think it was A41I want to say was A41 victory for Boston. All right. The way they won at least the games like you need to. We need to three more games. We were three games away from fucking doubling up over everyone on everything. I don't think you can look at that situation and say, this team will never win a championship. I don't think you could look at that and say. That, So if that if that were the case, you're like, look, I get it. We're in the finals, but we're never going to win a chip with this kind of attitude. We just won't win it. Like it's better to start over now than it's been four more years. Not winning it. Like that's the argument. But that's the they just want us to have this debate okay. Who's who, who's they. The ownership ESPN Nico Harris fucking you name it. They want us talking this conversation. Okay. But the real conversation is that Nico Harris took a hefty bag to be the bad guy and pretend he's in a beef with fucking Luka Doncic, because the reality is, is they want to go to Las Vegas because the ownership is really they have their own meetings, dog like the ownership circles is divvy. Yeah. The 32 owners of the NFL teams, they have a closed door meetings often. Who the fuck knows what they discuss in those meetings? They're they're playing 40 chess, and we're watching it as checkers on a flat screen, 100%. That's what's. Going on. Like, I think that bro. Andrew Luck going to the Colts, the Colts tanking that season so that they could have. Luck suck for luck on the. Horseshoe. It's like the branding was too good. That guy couldn't go anywhere else. And I also think that it's like a chips thing. Like sometimes you use all your bargaining chips like, hey, this year we need Jayden Daniels, okay? I haven't had anything nice in 20 years, okay? We haven't asked for much at these meetings. We're going to use our chips right here. And then the rest of the owners are probably like, is it good for the league? Is this good for the league if we let Washington have this one? And I think that they fucking they let each other have turns getting off. Yeah. Your turn buddy. Your turn. Buffalo on some. I think that's what happens in the ownership meetings. And if you believe that the league is rigged. Then that's definitely what's going on. I think it might at least influence. The amount of influence. Could be heavy. Yeah, she could get heavy like. Did you remember when Atlanta built the Mercedes-Benz Stadium? And then I think that the Super Bowl was in Mercedes-Benz Stadium, and then Atlanta makes the Super Bowl that year. So do you think that's all coincidence? Like maybe, perhaps maybe mayhaps. I don't think so. And then the Patriots ended up winning when they're down 21 7 or 28 seven. They're down 21 points going into the fourth quarter. And they just like come back and win them. I think a lot of people will say that was bullshit. Actually, I was just reading a thread where every comment was like, hey, I mean, you got Tom Brady didn't have to play while the rest were helping him. He could have been he could have been asleep and no amount of rest were there. So that we get into crazy ville, right? We start getting a crazy feeling like because I think it is influence, at least it's at least influence because. Because the other thing is that the players are there, the workers are there, you know, and if they're they're going to work hard or some of them are going to try to ball the fuck out and like, you can't stop. Some people from just ball in the fuck out sometimes. You can't. You you definitely heavily influenced it to not happen. Maybe. Yeah. But yeah, without getting the crazy feel. This there's a lot of you've heard players say before like hey, we have to win by a lot because if it's close, they're going to take it from us. The rest are going to start calling the fouls or start to double dribbles. Travels like we got to win by a large enough margin that they can't just take. It, can't make it a one possession game. Exactly. And and how many people thought Patrick Mahomes was getting every call in the world this past year? That was definitely the narrative. Yeah, the narrative was like the the refs and Patrick Mahomes are kissing cousins. That's tell you what. Like they are they love him. And I think it's good for the league to have a dominant Tom Brady person. It's like you need a face of the entire league. You need someone. And who better than Patrick Mahomes whose best friend is Travis Kelce. And then you got Taylor Swift. Yeah Te Sweezy basically being a Chiefs fan. It's like let's get her on TV as much as possible. Get a woman watching this game that opens the demographic wide open. Yeah. It's like that's the 40 chess shit that's happening in the ownership meetings, in my opinion. You know, another thing that just came into my mind and in regards to aiding in the 4D chess conversation, it's like they're thinking about their we're watching what happens like in the trades that are happening now. Like I'll trade you this person for this person, we're going to cut this person. This person's into injury. We're gonna move this guy from the practice squad. We're moving things around right here. And then that's what we see like in this season. But they're trading. Picks across like years. Like they got 2027 picks already traded about in and about and swapped and shit. And I bet that they're already looking at middle school and high school football players. Who's going to be in the league in 2027. What's the freshman class looking like right now in the current middle. School landscape in Texas football, or wherever the fuck the good players are coming from? Sun. I don't care where they're from. I want you're not wrong. Nope. You know, that's someone's job is to watch sixth graders, bro. Yeah. To be like this kid. That's what happens in, the documentary Hoop Dreams. I'm pretty sure, like, in the beginning, he's like, watch. And he's like those and watch. His kids are like, watch like a local park. Basketball in some sort of like Chicago or some north eastern state city, I'm pretty sure. I think what's on the east Coast most on the West Coast, I can't remember. Good documentary. I watched it a long time ago, and in college I was high school. It was all right. It was great, though. I can't remember what I remember. It was. Good. I it felt good watching it, but it was about. Yeah, it's like two different kids going to there's like playing throughout their middle school high school careers and then going into college or whatever and playing AEW or some sort of other basketball camps and programs and stuff. But there was one Scouter, like a prospect guy who was like, go find the prospects, and he would go to the way he would do that is that he would go to different schools or schoolyards or like local gyms or like at the gym. We're playing out today. It wasn't a gym, it was just basketball court outside at a church. And he would go to those places or parks, whereas like hoops and hoopers and people playing, and he would watch people and like find someone and then offer them like he was like, that kid has a quickest first step I've seen in 20 years. And he was like 12. Like that first step he's got, though, is something special. And like, there are people whose job it is to go do that and scout these six, seven eighth graders and get them on the path. The routes into playing for Alabama or for playing for Ohio State or whatever the fuck that's going on for that level. And those guys are probably in cahoots or in collusion or in contact and communication with the NFL, people who are doing the same thing, and they're just all trying to work together to get the best players at their schools, to get the best players that they're in their franchises, to make the most money possible. Oh yeah, on some 40 chess shit. And we're watching Patty. Mahomes like today on week. 17, whatever the fuck. 100%. They're talking about 2027. Yeah. And if you don't like it, that's definitely how it is. That's going on. Nick Saban was an 18 year olds kids houses sitting on their couch fucking their mom and dad talking about fucking farms and how the pesticides and the taxation and the the death taxes and the inheritance taxes and how, how much bullshit, how hard it is to run a farm today. I think Nick Saban gives a fuck about a farm. It's like, no, he's in there connecting with this family, hoping to get this kid to sign. But then how does he know that that kid's worth while? He's got people. He's got people in Alabama. Okay, then those Alabama got people that are not in Alabama, and they're and they go out and they go to the parks and they go to the they go to the school meetings and they go to the things and, and they tell the people in Alabama that those people tell Nick Saban, and then this person goes to the house, it's like a network or web, and then whoever has the best web will find the best recruits. And that's why Alabama was getting such best recruits for such a long time. So UT you had that going on to UT he was getting crazy recruits for a long time. It's like that goes all the way up to the NFL. Yeah. And you know how I know? It's because it's fucking money, bro. Your money's what drives that shit. Championships get money and there's billionaires that are like, I want money. It's like, how. Does that happen? I have so aware web of these connects. There's like a, there's like a fucking guy out there who's like a fucking janitor. Right? Yeah. And what he does is he goes to every high school football game that he can, and he calls somebody and says, this kid, this kid right here, and then that guy call somebody, that guy call somebody, than someone else shows up at that game and sits with the janitor and goes, that kid. And then they maybe let's give him some new money. Maybe let's get his mom a car. Maybe let's do Reggie Bush, bro. SMU, bro. Like, it's it's been documented. You know what I'm saying? These people will throw some throw Corvette money around because they want a fuckin ESPN TV deal money later down the line. That's just. And look at the nil like that should exist now on paper. Yeah. What is that even. They they made it so that they can pay college players because they were paying college players under the table. Yeah. They got Reggie Bush's Heisman taken away. 100% but then. Reinstated. I think they gave it back. Right. Yeah. Enough people were like. Yo, come on. It's just a whole bunch of commands, 100%. We've been doing this for decades. Come on. Was there a better player that year? No. He was a monster Corvette. No. Corvette. There was no other monster like that. Monster. Monster? Yeah. You put that kid on any school is probably one in the Heisman. Yeah. He was a crazy running that. Just happened to have the best running back with the best quarterback that year, and the whole nation. Because of their Wahab. USC has a way that Webb. Did back in the day. They're not as prominent in their web web development. Maybe they've they've slacked off or something. I'm not sure why. Yeah, they take turns. They think that's what it is. But yeah, who's coming up? Who's kind of like Ohio. State just got there's. No Ohio State's been balling that they've had a pretty notoriously good program LSU. So they've always been coming up Utes back in the mix. They fell off a little bit. They had their time with Vince Young. Yeah they had they had the shot. You had to pass that torch every once in a while. They got a hell of a hell of a dub with that one then. So that's what I think happens. I think that they take turns. I think they have chips. I think year they used all his chips to get Peyton Manning, then didn't get to use chips for a long time and then he used all his chips to get Andrew Luck. Then he didn't have chips for a long time, and then he made a kind of a crazy play. Opening with Anthony Richardson could be the answer without using chips. And that didn't work out well. I think it went far. I think actually he's got it. He's just one of those. He's like, Look at Nancy. She just wants people that needs extra attention. But you need to make sure that guy watches film. You need to make sure he's working out, doing his rehab. If you just lock in on him, he'll he'll pay dividends. But Jim Irsay, too, he's the son of the owner of the Colts. When the Colts went from Baltimore to Indianapolis, I promise you that was ownership talk that she got passed in some meetings, some closed door meetings. People knew that she was going to happen, and if they didn't, he really just reneged it himself into going into another city, then drafting Peyton Manning, then winning a championship. I mean, that's some legendary ownership shit. And then Irsay, the owner now, he watched his dad do all of that shit and then picked up the torch and kept going. So I think that's like part of, like the ownership thing is like, it's like a fraternity almost. It's like a yeah. It's probably family shit now or like for the some of the earlier teams. Yeah. Like the Packers and the Chiefs and like some of the fucking the OG OG teams who have been there since like inception. Yeah. It's a family chain now. Yeah. They're the mob type thing. Yeah. We want to make sure that we keep this tight knit, because Jimmy's been running the business season, running the team for 30 years. He's going to die here in the next 5 to 10, maybe 24. Lucky maybe. So then we got to make sure that Jimmy Jr knows how to be on board. Knows how to. Play ball, if you know what I'm saying. And if we can help influence that and make sure Jimmy Jr can play ball. Then we can keep this thing going, okay. This money rotating within us because it might be too risky to bring in an outside person to now be the owner of this team is probably going to, like, be handed down from generation to generation. That's. How about the Lakers? The daughter of the owner is the one that owns it now. Yeah, right. Yeah. Which, like, I don't want to be who, but to expose myself. When I first met him in. When I was like 20 and I read that news, I was like, what does she know about Manimal? Owning a basketball team was a lot. That's a lot. Balls. Give that to your daughter. Like, I don't think my dad could just hand over the reins of preaching that that church to grace. Like, I don't want to give it to her. She could do. Well. She's got. It. It's like you got to get, like, trained in some capacity. But then that's what we're saying. I think she did get trained in a capacity. To understand how the league works. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah. So anyways, that's that's my thought. If there's like a big conspiracy theory out there that sports are rigged, it's like, well, then how would you rig the sports? Like when it's like the owners and the teams and the play, like there's a lot going on there. Yeah. How could you, like, rig something? Who. Who's it rigged for and why? And I'm saying. If it was going to be rigged the easiest answer would be it would be rigged in a way that would make it generate the most money possible. Bang. But there also has to be some kind of agreements with these 32 men. And sometimes money might not be enough for some people, right? Who's like the worst? Like the fucking, I thought the Raiders for a second there, I was like, just like. Who's the worst team? Yeah, like a franchise that are just perennially bad forever. Titans okay, so the Titans like eventually if the guy that owns the Titans, if he gives a fuck about winning a championship and then they're just colluding all the time and he's never profiting at all like he's just making money. It's not enough for him. Then he might blow the whistle. It's like we got to throw that guy a couple bones. We gotta have some kind of system in place so that everyone feels like they're, like, hurt, at least to some degree. So I think there's, like, a chip system that goes on. And every now and then you see a team cash in their chips, and a bunch of things break their way. They get this guy, they get that guy also. And they're good. Again the relevant again, it's like maybe that's just good management. Maybe some of the drafting. Sure. Maybe. But I don't think so. And I also think there's like a like a team can get to the playoffs. Sure. Like a team that's not even supposed to get to the supposed to get to the playoffs. They can get there. But that doesn't necessarily mean that, like, we're going to let them win the championship. Well look at Buffalo. There were four times in a row didn't win a championship. What's up. With that? What the fuck do you think. They were trying to get them to win one and they just kept fucking up. Maybe. Could have been right. Because that's the thing it comes down to is like, if you were going to get you a record so you can make the most money, and if you're going to make the most money, you'd have to have some sort of good stories going on, some good guys and bad guys and comebacks and underdogs and crazy shit going on to make it worth watching for the people worth watching. So much so that you'd be willing to go buy a ticket or buy some merchandise. Spend money at the fucking plant at the park or the stadium, whatever. Make the most money possible. But then it would come down to like, maybe they only have a certain amount of influence or this. I'm thinking that they only have a certain amount of influence because it's like broad scale. Let's fuck up everything to make the most money possible, make a great story. But then when it comes down to like it trickles all the way down to what's actually like generating the money is like this play right now and like this second down, it's second and seven like 38 seconds left in the fourth quarter. Like this is important. Like they can't control that. Exactly. They might be able to influence it as much as they possibly can to get it to where it is within a certain point spread or within a certain narrative. The point spread to. Right. Like fucking thing, bro. Vague is making money. Money cool. Yeah. So it's like but they can't. If he catches it. He catches it. Or if they blow him out, they blow him out. Maybe there is a little bit of collusion with like. The. People throwing games and shit like that. You know what I'm saying? Like purposefully. Just like fumbling the ball. Yeah. Adam. Military was thrown into the wrong person. Missing some kicks. Yeah. Notoriously known for missing kicks and clutch times when it's like there's something going on there. That's a little strange. Yeah, it's a little strange, but, It's I mean, maybe they they. At that point, all they can do is influence it with the refs at most. But people are always looking at that. That's been like the conversation for a long time now. A couple of years. The refs. Why would the refs do that. Do you think the refs have their own fucking closed door meetings? Hey, we're all betting on the Jets this week. No, they're. Getting a phone call from a dude with. BS. Saying, hey man, we're going to pay for that house you just bought. Then that happened in, Peaky Blinders. Yeah, with the boxers. I think it was. Wasn't then maybe it was a different set. Of races. I think it. Was like a soccer game. And they had, like a referee for, like a soccer team. Yeah, yeah. And they're like. Yeah, they need to win by two goals. Yeah. But what show was the one. Movies that I want to see is Peaky Blinders. I could be off thereby playing soccer back then. Yeah I think it's later. It's like in the fourth season. Fifth season. I think. Definitely it's I'm. Pretty sure that that happens to a degree. Yeah. It happens. It happens with horse races like super early on and Peaky Blinders, is like this horse, this horse is going to win the derby. Right? Yeah. Yeah. Right. Yeah. And then like that horse is not going to win that he like sprays the dust in its face or whatever. And it's like why did you do that? Then you find out later it's because it's like they're giving him amphetamines horse like. Yeah. That's like some shit going on there. That's all. It's always been going on especially. Yeah. There was a big story back in the day. I remember being young like a teenager or early teenager, and there was like a big breaking story for an NBA referee who was doing that kind of shit. Yeah. Betting on teams that he was playing or he was refereeing the games. I think when he was fucking over Allen Iverson repeatedly is when it like came to the surface. Okay. Or like this guy calls Carey on Iverson like only on certain times. And then certain times it's like the whole game. It's like he's influencing the game and the guy's like, well, he cares all the time. So you can call whenever you want. It was like, Carey is like every time he dribbles, it's like, but that guy was doing it. I think they exposed him and said it was like an isolated gambler. But I think that the reality, that situation is maybe the ownership people were like, fuck that Allen Iverson. Carey. Too big, too much of a too much P too much P. Push that dude down a couple down the mountain a few times. Like that's their move down. And so yeah, that's that's we're watching it like we think this this honest football football's football thing. But I think in reality the ownership is like where the motherfuckers. That they're trying to influence it to the most they. Possibly can. Yeah, I guess right. Because how many owners of teams are just in it for the love of the game at this point? Dude, they're up high. Oh, because if you don't make money, if your team is not making money, your teams don't go bye bye. Yeah. Or move. Someone else is going to buy it or buy you out or move cities and fire you. I guess unless you're the owner, you can kind of you have control. I guess if you watch the Showtime Lakers, it talks about how the ownership was like, we got to make playoffs, we'll make playoffs. We're not going to survive another year. Like we got to make playoffs and we got to sell playoff tickets, and then they end up making enough money to keep it going. So like you could say, when you win, you sell more tickets. And when you sell more tickets you become more profitable. So all we need to do is win. I think that they were like, fuck all that shit, let's get together instead of like saying. You know, like you. You're on your own hoping you make this money. Let's all, like, make sure everybody makes money. The real money is coming from the TV deals anyways. We need to make sure that this is a sellable product. People want to watch this. How do we sell this product? Well, you need a Michael Jordan. You need a Tom Brady, you need a Patrick Mahomes. You need someone that people talk about every single fucking day. Then you need interesting storylines. You need, I don't know, how would you sell it. Yeah. Interesting. Interesting story, compelling story. Good characters, a good guy and a bad guy or something like that. And this is conspiracy talk. It is. But the fact if you fucking figure it out, everything's a conspiracy. The news is a conspiracy. The fucking vaccine wasn't helpful for you. Someone's controlling something. That was just a money grab from Fauci and the pharmaceutical industries. Oh, fuck. I'm gonna get of demonetized. Hypothetically. Allegedly hypothetical. Legal. Allegedly. But everything's a conspiracy. JFK was a conspiracy. Fuckin Black Lives Matter was a conspiracy. It's like all these things in the news. It's like there's something going on underneath that, brother. Something going on? Yeah, this ain't going on here. You know, I can't tell you what it is. That was conspiracy talk. Yeah, we can get. Off of that. Let's bring that back. You think that's going almost to Dr. Sanders? I'm like. I'm like. Wasn't there like a not an encrypted, but like a, cryptic message that was posted on social media via Dion? Yeah. It was like. I know who you are type shit. Yeah, I see what you're doing. See you. I know who you are. We know what you're doing. Like you know you can't. You can't hide the truth. And that was after day, one of the day after some like that. Yeah, like they wanted. Day two. He posted a picture of it, which is like something like a the picture was of somebody taking a picture. Yeah. And the camera was looking right into the other camera. Yeah. Yeah. Like the pictures like this. Yeah. Like right, right into the camera with the camera. So we see you, Doug. We know what you're doing, Doug. And like. I don't know. Why. Why wouldn't you just say what was happening in that moment? He couldn't for some reason that's there were some negative consequences if he did. That's when we're getting into billionaire talk to. Sometimes money is not enough. Sometimes there needs to be some ulterior pressures. And. You know. He looked demoralized. Deon Sanders himself looked real demoralized. He didn't look like he looked like someone who had who had to take an out there, like, they're making me take this elbow like I want. I gotta take a loss right here. And then they fucking, fucking burn up their shirts and now shit, you're saying all the right things. He's not out there saying that was some bullshit. Fuck the league. Fuck the owners. He's out there saying, I'm not trying to prove anybody wrong. I'm trying to prove me right. You know? I'm just happy. I'm healthy. I get, you know, my brother got injured, he's in the hospital. My dad had to get his toes cut off. I'm healthy. That's so. I'm feeling blessed and grateful. Happy to be in the league saying all the right shit. Now let that boy get a chip. Let him get a Super Bowl so he can start talking his fucking mind again. See what they have to say. Bro. I think this will be a documentary that comes out about Year Sanders in like 20 years. It's going to be like, yo, that was some shit that happened that year. You guys remember that, but Lord knows we'll see. We'll see. But if you if, if you thought last year that the refs were helping Patrick Mahomes win, that is like a key foundational piece of evidence for what. Bringing to the table that it's all kind of if you go on YouTube and just watch like the NFL is rigged, you're going to lose a little bit of your innocence for sure. You're going to lose some naivete. And football's give me a little bit harder to watch until you can regain a new lens to watch it by. But there's a lot of rigged moments, like a lot first downs. They didn't get first downs. Touchdowns that there's Dez caught it. There's caught it. I think that was you know what I'm saying. And Jerry Jones man. You know that guy's playing some big boy billionaire ball. You know that guy's in some meetings. Talking about some shit. They were still like one of the most popular. Franchises even though they were dog shit. Moneymakers. Dude. Exactly are the most watched games, you know, I'm saying. Yeah. I don't know what that is. What? Dallas. They were America's team. Before I was born, but they were America's. Team. How do we even get that branding? I just winning, bro. America loves a winner. Yeah, true, true. This official revolt for that every five years or something. Who's America's team? Yeah. Right. Who's America's. Team now? The Chiefs. Yeah. They hate Aaron Rodgers bro. Well what's with all the Rodgers hate. He's getting blacklisted blackballed right now. I don't know I can't tell you I forgot Aaron Rodgers. Yeah he did into some sensory deprivation shit. Or he was in some meditative shit some ayahuasca shit. I fuck with that guy. Yeah I met him. Yeah I think he's going through the the billionaire black list right now himself. Colin Kaepernick will happen with that. Why do we blackball that guy? The fuck. I want? You should. Have you ever got to try out again today? I don't think so. He got. Cooked. He's done. Dude. Private private meeting room. Got the got the bill passed. Colin's done. Like some people. It's like you don't get to stand your chest up to the big guy. Yeah. You keep was. Because. Yeah. Because Colin was more like, just like for, like, black rights activism and more or less. Right. Yeah. Yeah. So they're like, maybe. Maybe that might cost too much of a disruption if people if, if we get too political with our games, it might, we might lose too much viewership. We might. This guy could cost us a lot of money. Especially if he starts a movement. When are the entire NFL taking a knee, standing up? They don't wanna put their hand over their heart. What if the whole league becomes politics then we're really losing money. Sometimes you gotta, you know, nip the bud. Because that. But that boy could have played, I mean, for fuck's sake, there's. Not one of them. So now one team with a shitty quarterback situation. Yeah. Come on dude. Quarterback get injured all the time, dude. All the time. Play some fantasy football. You'll see, like, all the time, bro. Like, people get injured all the time. You need to have some depth. Now when he lost to the Seahawks in the NFC Championship. Dude you might not remember, but everybody was saying this is the archetype. This is the new quarterback, the one that can run and throw the strong, tall guy that can do it all. Like they were literally calling him the archetypical quarterback. Then Richard Sherman picks them off. Then he does the fucking political rights, starts taking a knee, then all of a sudden he's not good enough to play on a team. It was crazy. That's crazy talk, dude. Yeah, just like in the conference championship. Yes, bro. And then it's like, why? Why wouldn't he come out and say, hey, I've been blackballed. Hey, they came up to me and said, you better stop or you're never going to play again. And now I'm never playing again. It's like, I think they got some fucking. They put some pressure on those boys. Yeah, they got, they got channels. Maybe you. Maybe you sign a contract. Maybe they give you a million under the table. You say, I'll never say a word. NDAs. It's either. I think that's that's the light side of it. Yeah. Yeah. True. That's a nice that's a nice verse. I don't want to go deeper than that. I will never. See caps dog family me caps dog. Everyone's got pressure points. Everyone's got kneecaps. For a dude I mean it's like scary. You think about a fuck dude. So. Yeah. Or or I'm just a crazy person. But the more conspiracies are real, like they're real. All those things happen, bro. Like politics, Covid, Bay of pigs, JFK. How far back do you want to go regardless? It's just like, conspiracy theories. They might be real or not real. It's just regardless, it's just the narrative. Like there is a narrative of truth that's happening, and then that thing gets distorted through our words and through our interpretation. We could just misinterpret things, but we could also intentionally lie and manipulate to change what you think about the narrative. And then that's our narrative that we are now living in that's based on like the truth. But we've manipulated, distorted to things a couple ways here and there. So then the conspiracy theories are just saying, like a potential alternative to our current reality. It's like this is actually the reality that actually happened that is closer to objective truth. And some of those are actually actually closer to objective truth, like the conspiracy theory has like a, a tinge to it. Oh, connotation like crazy tinfoil hat. Yeah. Outlandish things that are improbable. Probably not real dragons unicorn type shit. But then there's like conspiracy theories that are truth, like true things that are actually closer to objective reality than what was presented to us as objective reality at the time, through the narrative that we all live in. Oh, yeah, it's just real world. You ever seen building seven, nine, 11? I've, I've heard this term multiple times. I'm not sure exactly what's going on with it, but I remember it's a little fucked. It's like twin targets hit with a plane. Boom. Bingo. Second plane comes in, boom. Shit's on fire. Looks like thermite. Lord knows. And then it is false. Just false. It drops. It isn't timber. It just drops. Implodes on itself. Yeah, a lot of people said that's not science. That one's hard to argue. That don't make any sense to me. Well, it's not hard to argue building seven. Just fucking. This collapses, right? Just collapses. This falls as well. Like didn't get hit by a plane, didn't get a building falling on top of it. It just falls to it's like even like people that I know that are like super conservative as far as conspiracy theories go are like, wow. I don't believe shit. Yeah, that's not in the news. You know what a lot of people. See you never telling me the truth. For five. 50 years, my grandpa knew I see aliens. Yeah. Yeah, even those people are like. I can't tell you what happened to buildings. I might be building nine, but, like seven building nine. I think seven. I remember hearing Joe say building seven in like, my Joe voice. Yeah. It's like. It's. It's you can't I would argue the Twin Towers thing. I wouldn't argue that one because it's it hits too close to home. People don't want to hear that shit. They watched a plane fly into it. You can tell me a plane didn't fly into it. It's not that happened. But buildings, that plane didn't find it. That one that should just fell down. And so some people, the conspiracy theory would be that some people knew that this was going to happen. And then they had that building ready to demolish. Yeah, maybe because there was documents that needed to never see the light of day in there. Maybe because of an insurance policy that to go through needed a certain amount of damage. Then the money comes through and they end up making millions, billions of dollars on their insurance, which had been changed recently before 911 happened. Really brand new insurance policy on the whole building that also included terrorist attacks that necessarily wasn't there before. Yeah. Include this terrorist attack clause in here. We really want to make this amendment go through, make sure that you are aware of this amendments that we are adding just in case, just in case any terrorists getting in. Just in. Case, you know, you know, al-Qaida and such. You never know mass destruction. You heard about that weapons. There's stuff going on mod. We know they'll be bombed. Yeah. Evidence of. Mass destruction. Yep. I'm here to Walmart. But you heard a Walmart. Loved warm. Do your. Own research. I'm not gonna sit here and tell you that 911 was a conspiracy, but building seven falling is like fucking unexplainable. Unexplainable. Right? And so that's what I'm trying to say is, like, sometimes the biggest shock. Is labeled conspiracy theory. Oh, yeah. Well, of course, that that's their biggest weapon is to make those guys look like fucking loons. Yeah. And, to make their have a lot of social negative ramifications for talking about it. I'm literally I'm like, I'm not gonna talk about this. I don't want this viewership. Right? Like, right now I don't want to be labeled as a crazy person. Yeah, I could feel the pressure to do that. I will self labeled as a crazy person. I'm crazy as fuck y'all. But you know, you feel the truth though, dog. You know what I'm saying? Give a fuck about what we're talking about. You feel it? Yeah. Feel it. Especially for a face to face. You're listening to us on the podcast. Yeah. I could resonate with you in a way where you're like. And even then, even in the podcast, like, I've never seen Jordan Peterson in person, but he I've watched enough of his fucking lectures and I'm just fully glued to the screen, ears glued to the audio. I'm on it. Like, oh yeah. Because there's something there with the truth, almost like this is he's pointing his words are all pointing towards is a baseline foundational existence that we all live on top of the the clearest that I can see. And when he talks, I could like the water is clear and I can see from where that where we're, we're living on some sort of island of information that we've been given narrative through news, through your own interpretation of life, through others, your family, friends. You live on an island, and then sometimes you get extra information into that island and you build like a bigger, better, more foundational island that's sturdier. But then, like whenever John Peterson is talking, I'm on my island of perception. And I could like, look. And he helps me see, like the clear waters of foundational reality of what we're built on, like the island, like the waters around the island, like they're clear as crystal. And I could just, like, see through them to like the. Depths of, like, the bottom of the ocean. I'm like, oh, shit, he's going nuts. Yeah, I. Guess he crazy shit for the most part. Like, life's just moving in the waves or wave and and crashing. You can't really see past the surface level. You're like living on your fucking island, trying to survive, trying to live. Perfect metaphor. And someone gives you some fucking insight. You're like, oh, I could, I could. It's not even like a it's not a question. It's, it's not like a debate. It's like there is clear water. I could see through this thing now I can see there's no more fog here. He told me to take away the fog. And you could do that. You can feel that with people. So I'm a crazy person? Yeah, a crazy person. Delusional. Loco. You be the judge in. Your own research if you want. I really want to look up. The NFL is right, though, because I shouldn't just break your heart. Can I see some shit? Oh, no. I've never seen this. Sounds sad because I like watching the NFL to a degree. Same time, it's kind of like I could. I can not watch it. I really can. Couldn't go, couldn't care less either way. But for the most part, I do enjoy it. Fun part of my life. Fun social interactions we get to have with friends and family. Fantasy football. It's fun. Totally. I enjoy. It. Follow the money. That's the other thing. Follow the money, baby. Follow me. I'll tell you what's going on here. We're going gonna see what happens. We should dare. You know Jeff Solder this year and the fantasy draft for the last round. Draft pick quarterback one who you know, you heard here first, folks. You guys say to that though. But I. I would buy his jersey though. Okay. I just fucking I think he got fucked on dude I think they should give that kid a shot. Fifth round is fucking agreed. That's that's almost disrespectful culture. To pick them up the third or fourth round. Fuck you dude, I don't got a quarterback. Figure it out. That's the question that I have as well. It's like if he didn't get if he was a projected top ten, top 20 pick, how did he not fall in the second, third or fourth round? That makes no sense. And then we're still when went to Cleveland, where he was originally projected to go anyway, it's like that doesn't make. A lot of sense. Or it seems a little. Smells like sardines. You feel me? If you want me, I take Cleveland, where quarterbacks go to die. That's not my words. That's a fucking trope. That's. That's been said. You seen Manziel, Winston. You seen the jersey with like the they cross out the name of the quarterback on the jersey. It's like fucking 50 names. 30 if a color. Backs and I think probably Dion Sanders like my son's not going to die in Cleveland. No way. And the billionaire boys are like yeah he is. I'm that's where he's gone. That's where he's going. He's going to Cleveland this year. Yeah. You can in. The fifth round. Yeah. One way or another that is going to Cleveland. And then also it's like how do you unite 32 people. Right. That's hard to do. 32 it old white rich folks. Oh 3131 with green Bay not being in there. Whoever since, I don't know. Yeah, they might have to have a like a representative like someone's. Got to do it. Yeah. They're not going to exclude green Bay from all the league financial decisions are not financial. But just like franchise decisions. Yeah. So and it's a. Product a big franchise one of the biggest. So that he's there in the decision let's call it 3160 on Sanders might be an easy way to say fuck that guy. That that loud, boisterous semi rich all over dominates the you get so much attention. You get so much attention. Fuck that guy. He doesn't call the shots. We call the shots. I think that might be a uniting factor. And it's a product. If you look it up, it doesn't say it's a fucking game with like, true, fair rules. Says it's a product, an entertainment product. It's basically a TV show. It's like it's not. We don't have to be honest with you. It's basically what it says. Are we blending the lines between true, authentic gamesmanship of sport with wrestling? Not that there's anything wrong with wrestling. It's drama. It's great entertainment. Well. I wouldn't call it great, but but some would. I wouldn't. I'm not one of those people. Those guys that would. Some would die for that. Yeah. Die hards buying all the tickets, all the merch, doing the same thing. But instead of go in the NFL, they go to the WWE. Totally watching it. They love being there. They couldn't care less about fucking Patrick Mahomes and shit. But they're here for John Cena. Yeah, they're here for I couldn't even name two other wrestlers up top of my head. Pat McAfee just wrestling. In my head. Yeah, I'm a dead man. Logan Paul I think he wrestles at one time or another, or Jake Paul, one of the two. The tomb maker. The grave digger. No, that's a that's a monster truck. Fuck, dude. That tombstone stuff like the same undertaker. There we go. Good. Yeah. I'll try to save your life, dog. Gun to your head right now. Grave digger is a The Miz. Think he was a wrestler too. Kane, Kane and The Undertaker were wrestlers. I know wrestlers back from my day, but I don't know about current. I'll take him to get that. Get off. Your temple. Current wrestlers and fresher. John Cena still relevant regardless. People love that shit. Yeah, and they know it's a movie, you know? So, you know, the movie is literally scripted. Yeah, but you. Fucking love it. Yeah, I love scripted shows. Yeah, fucking love it. But part of the. Gamesmanship is the unscripted nature of it. Yeah. And that's even better. In better. Even. Better raw reality. Raw Truth and raw rivalry said yeah Bulls Pistons like bad boys. Type shit. Yeah we loved it. But we might be moving blending those lines because like NFL is looking at the WWE and I go, man, that's just fucking. They literally it's control. What happens. Like that's kind of nice dude. And then what the word. They said that make it an entertaining show. They kind of make it a good movie and people will watch it. Ticket sales will go up and up and up. That's, I think, what the billionaire boys are doing. So they'd rather have it be like that. You know, talk. About Michael Jordan for just like one second for we can get. Out of here MJ. Dude. Like he's all his work. Here's what I think happened because I don't know how to phrase it in a different way. Michael Jordan was on a fucking shitty ass team. The shifty. Not the best. Oh the Bulls. Yeah, in the beginning. And the beginning. Oh, yeah. They sucked. They sucked. Miss playoffs. And he has, like, promised the city that he was going to take them to the playoffs. Like his whole one of his whole core axioms is like play your best. Like true competition. Let's, let's try to win every game. Try to win every game we can. Like there's no reason why we shouldn't be trying to win every game we can. Let's try to play the best of our ability. They wanted to tank, right? Yeah. There was a I was like, fuck that. I'm not gonna be on a tanking team for. 100%. They were trying to take him out of the game. They were saying that he was on a certain amount of minutes per game. He's like, bro, leave me the in. What are you talking about? And then he pushed. Here's what happened. He pushed past the curtain. He won games he wasn't supposed to win and then end up like taking the Bulls on a playoff run. And they're like the Bulls are supposed to be taking. What the fuck. Let's get Michael Jordan doesn't fucking listen bro. He doesn't wants it out. He's creating a media circus about it. The media's flocking to him. And then I think. It. Became good business for the Bulls to win. To lean into that instead of the other. Way. Exactly. Michael Jordan is fucking the thing. He became fucking huge. McDonald's, fucking Gatorade. Spike Lee. Spike, Nike. Nike Jordans. Nike wasn't even a prominent company at the time. He made them. So like it wasn't like they had, you know, he signed to the biggest one and they gave him a bunch of money. It's like he was making he was putting everybody on. You know, he could have put a Reebok on bro. Yeah. Do balance give a fuck anything. And so but then he's like he was. So I think he was so against the idea of collusion for scripted reality. He's like no everyone plays to win in the best man wins. That's what the fuck we do here. That's what the game is. Yes. And then you know what ends up having Michael Jordan fucking that dies. Superman seriously gets found in a car on the side of a highway, fucking dead. And then he quits basketball. I forgot about that. Right? And, so this is all covered in, Last Dance? Yeah. Oh, there you. Fucking go. And he goes and plays baseball. You know what? I think he quit in one, played baseball is like, fuck you guys. Fuck you guys. I'm not making you any more money. Like, enjoy. What? The money that you can make. I was making you a fuck ton of money. So now my dad's dead. Fuck you make your own money and then plays baseball for a while. And then his own desire to, like, play the game that he fucking loves. He's like, I'm coming back. They make so much money. They put a super team around him. They take one of the best defensive players from the competitive team. He used to go against Dennis Rodman, put him on the fucking Bulls. They got Scottie Pippen right through the draft maybe. Yeah I think they drafted him. It's like, well draft picks are also tradable. All of that is manipulated a bulldog. So like you put a great the best point guard coming out of college. Big tall strong guy projects to do well in the league with Michael Jordan was one of the defensive juggernauts. Let's get him a sharpshooter. He did well with the sharpshooter back in the first time because the. The white Jackson. Yeah Paxson he won the championship his first championship. Yeah he had to pass it. He had to pass it to the Lakers. I'm pretty sure. That was like the big story was like he wouldn't if he didn't pass it to Pax. They wouldn't have won their double teaming him. Yeah yeah. And then it's like then he just goes on and wins. Chip chip. Now it's like if he can win six and be the one with the most. That's a great storyline. That's really good for the league. That's going to dominate ESPN. Give people something to watch. It's fucking what's the Roman term for it? Fucking food and circus. So people need food and circus for a community to be like, for a group of people to do what you want them to do, they need to be able to eat and they need to have entertainment. It's like, well, how do you give people the right kind of entertainment that they're actually entertained? It's like, you need a fucking star. You need a winner. Someone to follow, someone to idolize. And then also he's bringing international money. And then Kobe Bryant kind of took over that role when Michael Jordan was done. But they also needed someone to take it over. Yeah. You didn't take it over while he had it. It's like perfect timing, you know? Yeah. Perfect timing. So I think, man, I don't want to say that the NBA owners got Michael Jordan's dad killed, but like bro his game. Prove it can't improve it. It could have been Vegas. Can't prove it. You think Vegas and the ownership groups aren't tied. Can't disprove it. They are. Definitely having conversations I probably in those meetings. You know I'm saying. Yeah well Michael Jordan sitting there crying and he's telling you like I just believe that you should play to the game to the best of all, your ability, no matter what. And if you don't want to play like that, that's your choice. And he's like tearing up. I say that. His whole life is predicated on his, like, everything was predicated around, I think, fighting the collusion monster beneath the scenes. Yeah, maybe he just became, I think, made the spirit of what you're mentioning right now in regards to Michael Jordan might be the inkling of where my intuition comes from that they can't control, like the they control it in the big, and they try to get as much control as they possibly can down to the play, the play by play, but they can't get there. No, they can't get there. Quite. They can get there like in this in a sense. So some teams have to say like let's win by 20. So we can we can't even get to that point to where it's even potentially close. Yeah. Let's just dominate. Them. Yep. And then there's people who like Michael Jordan like transcend that shit by being just so undeniably good that like, they just fucking win. He's like, oh shit, bro. Like he's too big. He's too big to fail. He's too big to contain. Yeah. We can't stop this kid. Yep. You know what they say about Steph Curry. He might be doing the same shit. They say they put a chip in the balls. But just just his ball. And a magnet around the rim when he's playing in those games. The only he has. Access to. Someone's got access to it. And when Steph shoots. It. Press the button. Boop. That's going in. Boop. That's going in. No one's. Going in. That. They said they say there's no other way anyone could shoot that. Well, that under pressure that many clutch shots, that many game winners. It's like the only reason that that's working is because they got a magic Steph Button, and that ball goes right where it's supposed to go when they press it. Maybe he is just tapped into. That's another thing, right? Maybe he's not. God. They tapped and you gotta know what to tell you, bro. I don't know, but it's right on. That's right. On the edge of crazy Phil. It's right on the edge. But I'm telling you, if they invest billions of dollars in making sure that who they want to win wins a couple magnets in a basketball is. Does it cost billions of dollars? A couple magnets in a rim don't cost that much money. You know. That's weird to think of. Steph, shoot that bitch high. That's all we need. Give us a mark. Give us mark and get it close. And that's all I had to do. I'd be fucking setting records to. Don't hit the rim. You got it. Knock. Yo, I doubt it. That's a little far fetched for me. Sure. I just think that some people. I think that that conspiracy theory, quote unquote, whatever that. But that potential reality or potential narrative truth that came out came about from somebody who's just like, maybe enable or unwilling to agree with the sentiment that I was just talking about in regards to that. Somebody can, like, fucking transcend reality and go beyond what you think is possible. You know, like Michael Jordan, just come out and dominate the league or Steph has come out and change the entire game of basketball from the three point line. Yeah. Completely changed it. Yeah 100 like someone can be that good. Yeah. You know what I'm saying I think someone can. And I guess I do believe in the human potential. Can be. Undeniable. Yeah, someone can do that. Someone could transcend reality. Yeah. Musicians do it all the time. Yeah, yeah. Fuck yeah. Sometimes it's like you can't that. This is a fucking hit, dude. You can't deny these are. Bars or he's going off on this guitar solo. Or, like, these chords are perfect or, you know, I'm saying you feel like. Michael Jackson, bro. But then you look at what happened to Michael Jackson, bro. He doctor got him too high and he died. Call him a pedophile. It's like, I don't know, I don't know if he's a pedophile. I can tell he is. Or maybe he got fucking defamed and killed. Maybe. Right? Prince. He was another person that was against the corruption of the entertainment industry system. Yeah. And then Michael Jackson was hanging out Prince all the time. It's like. Too much P. Too much. It's all like that. Too much P pretty often. Y'all be careful with the P. Push it for real. That'll get you fucking acts that the heads up. Oh fuck. That's scary. Well, that's all I got for today. That's all we got, y'all. We're out here speculating whether you're talking about. Live spectator speculating. NFL draft. We'll see. How should our Sanders us this year keep an eye on when year maybe your your last round draft pick in your fantasy drafts this year. We'll see you in August. About that I think he takes over the team around week seven. Has some pretty critical wins, plays well enough to win the starting role. And then we. Is it just those two rookies in their freshman or then they're the quarterbacks right. Right now. I don't think. That they. Have. They had a the other guy that was playing besides Jameis Winston last year was a guy with he had like an acronym for a name where people refer to him with an acronym. And he had a hyphen in his last name. I'm pretty sure there's like DSP or something like that, or I don't know, he has here's some sort of like, three letter, three letters that refer to his name first and last. And he was a quarterback whenever Winston got injured. So might be him and the two rookies. I think you're right. I just don't know who that guy's name is. I can't tell you. Which is fucking stalling me. He's like, hey, you're going to the dog. Like, I can't help you any more, bro. Come on. We only we only we only got the only one girl and they did. A thing I really. Want. Answer me. Well, anyways, there's another guy there too. Okay, so with that being said, that's a good, that's a good. That's probably a prop bet in Vegas. Like what is it our Sanders and what we consider Sanders to be the starter or will he be the starter at all ever? Okay. They could just hold him like no matter how good a practice. I could own. But if he wins a game, if he wins at anything, he. Might not be. He might never see the field. He might, but their other quarterbacks might get injured. Can't deny the truth, dog. Sorry, motherfucker. Like he's on the he's in there like you got to you got to play this guy or the first guy gets injured. They play the first round draft pick or their first quarterback draft pick. He does dog shit, throws a couple picks, fumble whatever, terrible completion percentage. So then in that situation they kind of have to their hands are being forced like, all right, well fuck, let's let's give this guy, let's put them in. Let's be in line with what a regular sports team would do. And let's do the thing. And they do it. And they're betting that he's not going to do amazing. He'll do it best. Yeah right. He comes out wins the game. It's like oh we're fucked totally. We're fucked. And think you think that Dan Sanders is going to let his kid not train a decent fucking ass? We met at least, dude. Yeah. Of course. Come on. And then, you know, God starts working through a dude. You stopping that dog? Oh, I stopping that. They got Joe Flacco. He got signed. It's like a. Flacco. Yeah they signed him because he's like a Deshaun Watson is recovering from a. I mean I got him too. Yeah I think he's out for the season though. Oh fuck. He got injured. And that might be some shit too God knows what's going on with his collusion. He was out in Houston gets traded. Then it comes out that he was asking 35 misuses to whack them off. What some get the happiest ending of all time. He's out. He's injured. Joe Flacco is there. Can you pick it from the Steelers? I guess he was on it. He got traded to the Eagles then got traded to the Steelers okay. And he was on the Steelers and Eagles. Now the Browns. Then Dillon Gabriel got selected in the third round 94th overall. And then Jordan Sanders got drafted in the fifth round. So they have a couple quarterbacks. But they're they're my rise to the top. Especially if it's just like true. And he's doing the thing whatever. The money bro. That probably just kind of fucking slap him on the wrist pretty hard in the draft. And they're going to get him in the fucking. They're going to be like, hey, we're in charge. Don't fucking forget. Okay? Now go make us a bunch of money. We'll see. We'll see how it goes. Keep your heads up. Y'all stay woke. Remain aware, captain truth, tap in the truth. Tap that subscribe button. Follow. Share it. Tell a friend, my dog a and hounds were still shouting you out. That made my week. That made my month. Thanks a lot. Thanks. I'll keep watching. You inspired a lot of keep going, keep. Preaching the gospel. Preaching. The gospel of hops and hounds right now. Come on man, keep spreading the good word. We are here spreading words. We're here talking about ideas. We're here for. Undeniable. Just trying. To. Yeah. It's trying to emulate and vocalize the energy that is behind our words. And that energy and frequency is just the highest it could be. So that's all we're trying to do here is talk about being the best you could be. And we're not. We didn't talk about that directly, but we talked about just narrative control, talking about the collusion, talking about who's doing what for what reasons. Fuck all of that. Be you. Feel the truth. Open yourself up to be a conduit to detect the truth and then. Go. For it. Fucking feel that shit. Listen to that. Listen to that person. Read that. Book. Put your put your guard up. Be the gatekeeper of your subconscious. Because fuck the bullshit. You can feel the truth. I ain't trying to lie to you. I ain't got no, like, agenda. There we go. No. No agenda, no narrative. I'm trying not to. The truth right there. I knew he knew what I was trying to say. You know. It didn't come from here. It didn't come from here. It came from this tapped in. I was like, agenda. I ain't got none of that. I don't care like I'm here. Those looking for truth, having a good time, laughing while we're doing it, and trying to be as in line with what's actually happening here that we possibly can. Yeah, fuck the rest. Fuck the bullshit. That's all you got. That's all you. Got. That's all you got. Life is fucking not what it presents itself to be. Not even close to in truth as close thing get. That's the. That's our only hope. Yeah, that's our only hope to the good life as much trapping in truth. God was kind of talk to get you blacklisted. Like, should I tell you what, like shudder? Yeah. You think Joe Rogan has conversations where like, hey, you better shut the fuck up, boy. Maybe I know he does. I know he does. He's fucking like Jordan against that shit though. He talk with Musk and Musk is like, yeah, man, I don't want to say too much more because they're gonna come after me. Like, you know, that shit's real. You know that shit's real. That's why they're banding together. Musk got people coming after him. Joey probably like, if people come after him like, I fuck a squad up. Jordan Peterson, jeeps. One of them. One. That's the Avenger. That's my Avengers, doc. Yeah, yeah, fucking Iron Man. Elon. Dude, I. Saw a book on the shelf that was like Elon fucked or something like that. And Barnes and Nobles and then the description of the books, like how the biggest tech giant became a laughable Mashable upside down, chaotic dick person who digs his own grave. I'm like, that's some fucking what the fuck, bro? They're spray paint. Tesla's like, the Doge happened. Another comment for him dog. Follow the money. Ma'am. Follow the money. He's said that's what. His job is. And don't just pop. All the money there. I don't like that fucking money. Don't look over here. Yeah, for real, at the. Very least. Is incompetence worse the case? It's fraud, manipulative. That's the deception. All purposeful fraud. Worst case scenario, there's incompetent. It's like, either way, they're not using the money correctly. That's that's that's. Not who we should be paying our taxes to. That's a whole nother conversation. Fuck them all. Fine. Truth, dog, I love you. Come all will talk to you forever. We'll talk till the cows come home. And those cats have baby calves, and those cows have more cows. And we'll talk to they come home. Generations will be talking. To the cow. I always forget the word when Jesus comes back and everybody gets that. The resurrections, the, the, not the ascension. It's like the, the, he was right there had it. Was elusive. On the tip of my tongue. I had to get it. It fell off the tip of. But, if. You know the word that we're talking about, comment below and remind us what the word is. And when the cow version of that happens, maybe. Maybe we'll stop you. Maybe then I was going to bother me. We'll figure it out. Off camera. Fuck it. Have a good life. We'll see you when the pillar flips over. Be the best you can. I'm here for you. We're here for you. We'll see.
