SPEAKER_00 0:00

Good morning, y'all. Good morning. Okay, welcome back to the Hoops for Hotties live show. I have all of my notes here for you. We have a lot to talk about today. Like, a lot to talk about today! Let me know, y'all, if y'all are in the chat. Welcome back to Hoops for Hotties, the classroom for the girls, the gays of days, and the straight men who don't know if they're not actually watching sports, where I explain everything going on in the sports world and we kiki and we talk and we have a good time. First and foremost, since we are in class, of course, I've got to take attendance. Who's here? What cities do I have in the chat? What names do I have in the chat? Like, I need to know that y'all are here and I'm not just talking to myself. So put present in the chat if y'all are here. I'm taking attendance. Uh-oh, we got Boston in the chat, Denver in the chat, Virginia in the chat, ATL in the chat, Sharita from Chicago, Seattle. I know that's right. What? New York? Sacramento. Alright, y'all are present. All right. Young are young are very much present. Tampa in the chat? Hold on. Dallas in the chat. North Carolina in the chat. Oh my god. Okay, period. Who's for Hotdy's Global question mark? Um, South Africa. Oh, period. Oh, period, bitch. Can't nobody tell me nothing. I got Toronto, the 6666 in the chat. Y'all excited for Iceman? Yes. All right. Without further ado, let's just get right into it. So I am gonna start with my game time tickets situation because everyone in the chat is asking me for a game time update. And I didn't even think that that was gonna blow up like that. I mean, I'm glad it did because let's be real, no one who posts like a rant like that about a company that's fucking them over doesn't want people to see it, right? Like, obviously, I wanted the people to see it. But long story short, yesterday I purchased some tickets on the Game Time website. It's this ticket website that's supposed to have like really good deals for last-minute tickets and whatnot that I'm always getting ads for. And I was like, the tickets are like$20,$30 cheaper on Game Time. Let me just purchase them on there. I always buy tickets that have club access so that my food and drink are included with my ticket. I feel like if I'm spending that much money on a ticket to a game, I'm not paying for dinner and drinks. Like that doesn't make any sense to me. I might as well just spend the$80 to$100 or whatever that I would spend getting that expensive ass food in the stadium on, you know, including the club access where I can get it for free. So when I'm looking for my tickets, I filter for only tickets that include, and listen, this is how they get you. There are tickets that include food and soft drinks. I think people forget. I worked in State Farm Arena, like I worked for the hogs. I filter for for includes food, beer, wine, liquor. And I purchase my tickets. I spend over 200, no, not 200. I spend over$2,000 on these tickets for four tickets, right? Why do I get my ticket? I download it to my Apple wallet. My ticket is blue. It's obviously a general admission ticket and not a club access ticket. So I'm pissed to no end because I'm like, this is a general admission ticket. But actually, at this point, I'm not angry yet because I'm like, oh, it's probably just a mistake. So I call customer service. I call customer service. I will say it was a good experience. Like I wasn't talking to a fucking AI robot for 30 minutes before I could get to a person. I talked to a nice lady, I explained the situation to her. Hey, I spent a lot of money on these tickets that are supposed to have club access. And I downloaded the ticket, and because, you know, I've been to a lot of games, I know that this blue ticket is general admission. And when I show up, they're not gonna give me a wristband because it's not like you know, a club access ticket. And I don't want to get to the game and have that situation, which I can only imagine. If I didn't have that knowledge, that prior knowledge, I would have just showed up at the game and been pissed I didn't get my food and drinks, anyways. So she's very nice to me. She's like, yes, like we'll I'm I'll speak to my team, I'll send you a text to call back later because I don't want to keep you waiting, yada yada yada, we'll figure this out. Calls me back later, and it becomes a whole shit storm with customer service. If you haven't seen my TikTok where me and my boyfriend are arguing with the game time customer service, like, girl, when I say we, I'm on the phone, and you know, I'm trying to be like nice, like I'm trying to be like, listen, like I know there was a mistake made, but I paid for food and beverage included. That's a lot of money. Like, I need to get this figured out. They call me back later that day, or they send me a text. They're like, hey, we got a situation resolved, please call us back. I call them back. I'm speaking to a man this time, and I'm like, okay, this is the same person I talked to earlier, and I kind of hate when that happens because I'm like, okay, you don't already know the prior situation. I and I don't know what kind of time you're about to be on. So I get on the phone with him and he tells me, we can either give you$200 of game time credit or you can, you know, send your tickets back and get a refund, and you won't get your refund for seven to ten business days, five to seven business days, whatever the fuck. It won't be a week until I see my money back. And I'm like, sir, I'm not gonna lie, that doesn't really help me because what I want out of this is to go to the game. Like, I want to go to the game. I don't want, like, I don't want to give you my tickets back. I want my food and drink, and I want to go to the game. Like, that's what I'm asking for. He said that the seller misrepresented or mislisted these tickets or whatever and said who food and beverage are included. So it's the seller's fault, not their fault, and they're sorry. Actually, this man didn't apologize to me, which really is what put me on edge. Like, that really put me on that really put me on edge. So he's like, we can give you$200 game have credit or a refund. And I'm like, well, a refund does nothing for me because I would be out$5,000 if I go and purchase other tickets. And this is a playoff game on a Saturday night in Atlanta. Obviously, these tickets are gonna be like pretty sold out. So I go through the whole rig and roll. And what really, what really grinded my gears was the$200 game time credit because you're not about to like don't bullshit a bullshitter. I am a business one woman, I'm not fucking stupid. You're trying to give me game time credits because you want to guarantee that you are going to get my next ticket ticket purchase, and that is not going to happen. How does this situation end up benefiting game time? Like, huh? No. So I tell him, like, maybe if you give me$200 back on my card, we can have a conversation, but like, that still doesn't what that's$50 a person for food and drink that you're giving me back that I won't see for a week that I can't even use on this game.$50 doesn't even get you like some chicken tenders and a sprite at a fucking game. Like, and I know I'm being bougie about this, but it's genuinely like annoying because I paid for unlimited food and drinks. So it's like$50 a person isn't really doing anything for us. So my boyfriend comes home from work and I tell him my whole situation, and I'm like, I am really irritated. I bought the tickets this morning. Obviously, like everyone was gonna zell me that like was coming to the game, whatever. I buy the tickets, whatever, and I tell him the situation. My boyfriend, who is Karen down, like he is Karen down. He he go talk to customer service. One thing about my man, he goes, he go call customer service. And he was like, They said what? They did what? What he said, put them on the phone now. I said, Okay, I put them on the phone. He starts going to work. He's like, I need to speak to a supervisor. They're gonna say, You can't speak to a supervisor, why not? He's like, they're like, our process is if you want to speak to a supervisor, you can only speak to them via email. And so we're telling her, like, there's no one above you that we can talk to about this situation. Like, this is bad. We're out$200 and this isn't getting resolved. Whatever. We go back and forth for like an hour. They keep putting us on hold. And here's the thing, y'all. If you can do a situation with customer service, they try to put you on hold to like weed you out. You know what I'm saying? They're trying to make you weak, they're trying to work your muscles, they trying to make you be like, oh no, it's fine and get off the phone. My boyfriend was like, Listen, they can't hang up. I'm not getting off this phone. I'll be on this phone until 11 p.m. He sits on the phone forever and ever and ever. We're going back and forth with this lady. Finally, she tells us, look, if you give us your four tickets, we then will look for four more replacement tickets that are hopefully equal value to the tickets you purchase, and you can get your food and drink. And I said, Well, the problem is, miss, I'm not giving you my four tickets that I already paid$2,000 for without getting my fucking money back and without a guarantee that I'm going to the game. Because at the end of the day, I'd rather cut my losses and just go to the fucking game and be mad. Like, if you can find us four tickets, that's great. That's a solution I've been looking for this whole time for you to find me the correct tickets, right? But then look up the tickets and tell me where the seats are, and I'll give you the seats back. But I'm not giving you the seats back until I know where I'm gonna be sitting at the game. The fuck, like me not going to the game isn't an option. We go back and forth with this lady for like an hour, and you can watch it on my TikTok. I asked her, so let me get this straight. You have my$200. I have these seats that aren't right. I am just asking you for what I paid for. So you want me to give you my seats without a guarantee, I will get seats to the game, right? So that you can then look and see if I can get seats to the game. So you would have my money and my seats? That don't make no goddamn sense. And she was like, Yeah, I'm telling you, I feel I felt like I was being rage rated. I felt like I was being rage rated. Like she, like they were genuinely playing in my fucking face. We're going back and forth with this lady arguing with her, and I'm like, so let me tell, let me ask you something. What happens then if I don't get my seats? So if I give you my seats I have right now, and and you have my$2,000 and then you can't find me some more tickets, then what? She's like, well, then you get a refund. I don't want a refund. I want to go to the game. I want to go to the game and I want my unlimited food and beverage. What don't you? I want what I paid for. And it'd be one thing like I'd be being real Braddy if I wasn't asking for what I literally purchased. Like, I purchased this already. I'm asking you for what I bought. How am I asking? How am I begging you? Oh, I'm getting mad all over again. How am I begging you for what I bought? That don't make no fucking sense. Whatever. I'm arguing with this lady. She's like, listen, I told you what the process is. She she's getting butt with us. I'm like, my boyfriend's like, look, I'm sorry, I know we're stressing you the hell out, but we are not getting off this phone until you tell us where to. And the thing is, your game time, your multi-billion dollar company. You you own the platform. It look up on Google, get on that computer, look up on Google, and just tell me what seats you can put us in. I don't understand why you can't just tell me that. She's like, Well, we can't tell you that until we until you give us those seats back. All right, girl. So so we so now we have a problem. So we're going back and forth with her. It felt like all day, to be honest. Like, I'm working on my laptop in the kitchen while my boyfriend's on the phone with this lady, like all day. Um, and I had made my TikTok, my angry, ranting TikTok about game time where I was like, they're fucking scamming before we called customer service with my boyfriend. Like when my boyfriend came home, was right when I finished recording that video, and he was like, Don't post about them. That's not necessary. Let's just try to call and get this worked out before you post. Like, let's just let's try to make this right before you post the video. We didn't get it resolved. So as soon as that phone hung up, I posted my video. Like, I'm like, I'm pissed off and I want to let my followers know not to use game time. Like, no, like I'm irritated. I post my video, I post a video of us talking to customer service because I was recording when we're talking to her, because I don't like getting gaslit by customer service because you know when you call back, they're gonna be like, We didn't say that. Well, guess what? I got you on video. Then, like two, two and a half hours after I post my video, people start commenting at game time, make this right at game time. I will never use you, blah, blah, blah. Then I get a text from a beautiful, kind, smart, intelligent, love her down manager at game time named Nicole. Game time, if you are listening to this, Nicole needs a raise. Nicole needs a bonus because Nicole is the only reason you are getting any positive publicity from me right now. Thank you. Um, Nicole texted me and she said, Hey Mariah, this is Nicole. I'm a manager at Game Time. I would love to fix your ticket situation for you. I was able to secure four tickets for you that are better seats, include your club access, and you don't owe us anything. I would love to get on the phone with you to like secure the transfer, blah, blah, blah. I get on the phone with Nicole. She's nice, she's apologetic, she's uh she's really understanding what's going on. She's obviously not like in an overseas call center, which like sometimes I get really annoyed when I get sent to a call center because all they do is like tell me the same lines over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again. And it's like, are you a robot or a person? Like, what do you mean this is the process? This is the process. I'm asking the lady, like in the overseas like uh call center. I'm like, does this make sense to you? Like what you're saying to me, does this make sense to you? And she's like, it's the process. And I'm like, girl, come on, like you're a person, girl. Come on, like, tell me it don't make sense. But I get on the phone with Nicole, she's telling me, look, this is, I am so first and foremost, I am so sorry. She was apologetic. She sent me my tickets. We're a few rows up than we were supposed to be. We have our club access, and I'm gonna get my glizzy and my tequila soda included with my ticket as promised, as advertised, and as listed by game time. And that's how you handle a customer service situation because I'm not the type, I'm not gonna just sit there and argue. But to be honest, y'all, what I learned from this whole situation is ask for what the fuck you want. When I was younger, I would have never called customer service and like argued with them like that. I just like am not like that. Like the way I grew up, like I you just not, I'm not about to try to tromp up right now. The point is, I wasn't always the person who would be like, I don't want that. Like, I don't want that, I want you to give me my tickets. Like, I used to be like, oh, well, my tickets are blue. I guess I got the wrong thing. And I would have just sat in my booth ass seat that I didn't fucking pay for, and I would have paid a million dollars for a tequila soda and a glizzy. That probably cost$50 at the fucking arena, and I would have been pissed, I would have been waiting in lines, I would have been irritated. But I stood up for myself, and I and I got what I wanted. And so, you know what? Maybe I was a little bit of a bitch yesterday, and maybe I put game time on blast, but I do not apologize because a bad bitch should ask what we for what we want and what we pay for. And at the end of the day, I was right. Don't it feel good to get that off my fucking chest? Yes. Copy Lover22 just asked a question that is actually the perfect segue into our first sports topic after me spending a billion years talking to you guys about game time and my ticket scenario. Now we are going to be getting into our hot girl headlines. And the first one I want to talk about is not on my notes. Um, I want to talk about Diana Roussini and Mike Vrabel because we have had a new development. Coffee Lover22 actually asked me to speak on this situation, and I was gonna speak on it anyways because I was doing my morning rounds in the news and I saw this and I said, Oh hell nah. Oh hell nah. So, long story short, whole situation happened with the athletic insider, Diana Roussini, longtime reporter, Mike Vrabel. They were caught in an adults-only resort together on the roof of a$2,000 a night villa for two, looking at the fucking mountains and shit. Okay, holding hands in the pool, out in the pool, in the hot tub, having breakfast, whatever. They claim we're just friends. We were with six other people, ain't six other people in the photos, okay? But Diana Roussini ended up resigning from her job at the athletic. And a lot of people were really upset about this because Mike Rabel didn't lose his job. And, you know, I had a very unpopular take on it, and I was just like, I think as women, we shouldn't put ourselves in these compromising positions. Is it fair that we're held to a different standard than a man in his employment and whatever? No. But at the same time, we know this going into a career like sports where we aren't treated as equals. It's just not there. We're just not there yet. We know in this position that we can't make the same mistakes that men do. But my whole point in bringing up Diana and Mike Vabel again is Mike Vrabel. Mike Vrabel made a statement about this, okay, in a press conference that gagged me the fuck to hell, where he said basically, he's going to be missing day three of the draft with the Patriots because he is going to counseling because he had to have difficult conversations with his family about this. Mike! Mike! Mike! What do you mean you have to go to counseling during the NFL draft, bro? First of all, first the fuck of all, I want to revisit Diana's statement because he really threw my girl under the bus. I mean, like dropkick double launched her ass under the bus. So yeah, in her statement, she stood by literally everything that she said. And Mike Vrabel coming out and saying he's going to counseling after tough conversations with his family, aka his woman, his wife. You admit it y'all cheated. What the fuck? Now, how do you gonna do that to Diana after she already resigned? After she already resigned, after she already, like, you know, told the people, you know, I fucked up, I hi da da da, whatever. Like, how are you gonna do that to Diana and admit that y'all were cheating together? Enough about Diana Roussini. I think she's doxing me. Loki. So let's talk NBA playoffs. So I'm gonna give you a little bit of a rundown, a quick hit rundown from my handy-dandy notes about what has happened so far, and then we'll get into the parts that we give a fuck about. Um, the biggest moments of the play-in tournament. Lamello ball hit a game winner. Charlotte beat Miami in overtime. Lamello ball tripped Asia Wilson's boyfriend, bam out of bio, and didn't say sorry. Even though he said he would. Weird. Weird, weird behavior. Um, Denny dropped 41 for Portland to beat Phoenix, and then Steph Curry came back from an injury and erased a 13 fourth quarter, 13.4th quarter deficit to beat the Clippers 126 to 121, effectively ending the Clippers season and probably the Kawhi Leonard era in LA. The Suns beat the Warriors 111 to 96, which made Steph's season come to an end, which breaks my heart. But the weird part was the Warriors like crying at the end and Steve Kerr soft launching the fact that he might quit coaching, which I mean to see them like crying and holding hands and kumbaya and hugging and kissing after losing a game really signified to me that the shit is over. Because I mean, these are the most competitive motherfuckers ever, like Draymond Green and them, like this emotional after a loss, and not for and not in like a I'm pissed we lost kind of way and like an I'm sad kind of way. Yeah, I wasn't prepared for all that. Philly beat Orlando to get in, and the Magic beat Charlotte to get in. And then we have the Magic. Um, they were leading the Pistons one to zero. Okay, the eighth seed upset the number one seed on the road in Detroit, came in they trapped, took over they trap, and beat them. A lot of people, including myself, were like, I mean, can we take Detroit seriously now? Um, well, if you're like me and you watched their game last night, we can take them seriously. We can, we can for show. Someone said I'm rooting for the Hornets. Um we can for show take. So what's that? You took you took your ADD ADHD medication today, didn't you? I take it every day, child. Anyways, I can I can I could barely you would be able to tell if I had to take my shit. I would yeah. Um, but um I'm I can't with myself. But the Pistons put belt to ass. Belt to ass on the magic last night. I mean, it wasn't it wasn't cute. The defense they play in Detroit, I don't know. And here's the thing I like Detroit, I really do like them. I love a team that's young and fiery and that no one else takes seriously. Like, I like when a team like that proves everyone wrong. Like, how how I'm the number one seed and you don't take me seriously. What the fuck sense does that make? Next, Celtic Sixers. I mean, don't get me wrong. I watched the game, I saw the Sixers win. I still don't give that much of a shit about this series. I'm sorry, I just don't. I feel like somebody who works in sports and covers sports isn't allowed to say that. Like we're not supposed to say that, and that's why I'm so grateful that I don't work for network. Because I just like I'm trying to get into it, and I just I don't give a fuck. Um, but shout out to the Sixers for turning what could have been a sweep into a gentleman's sweep. Uh the Celtics blew them out game one, and then the Sixers came back in Boston in game two without Embiid, who is still recovering from emergency appendix surgery. The most unlucky man on the planet, am I right? Rookie VJ Edgecombe had 27 points, and let's move on to the series. I give the oh my god, y'all are really like feeling this whole game time situation. I like I'm looking at the chat and everyone is asking me about what I what happened with game time. Y'all, I explained it earlier in the show, and if you missed it, don't worry. I will be posting the full live on YouTube at 7 p.m. Eastern and we'll post clips and everything. But wow, I'm just need to make a TikTok about that after this. Um, so now let's move on to the series I give the most of a fuck about. Oh my god, not the hat of mustache. Who the hell? What? Hold on. I'm gonna take my horse to the old town road. That just stressed me the fuck out. What? Oh my god. I'm too ADHD for this TikTok live shit. So we'll just turn me into a goddamn cowboy. Um now let's move on to the series I give the most of a fuck about. The Knicks and The Hawks tied at 1-1. The Knicks blew a 12-point fourth quarter lead at Madison Square Garden to lose game two. After the game, CJ CJ McCollum was asked, Are you a villain? Like, it's giving villain. And he was like, I'm not a villain. I'm a man with two kids and a wife. Thank you. New York wants somebody to hate in Atlanta so fucking bad, bro. So fucking bad. They want somebody to hate in Atlanta so bad. Like, I think it makes it more fun for them or whatever. We're likable now. That's just that's just how we get down. We're we're likable now. I like flying under the radar. Because then when we start flying over the radar, bitches gonna be bitches gonna be shook. Let me tell you. Bitches gonna be lost. Let me tell you. That's why I'm not trying to be, I'm not trying to be a villain. I'm not trying to, you know, because here's the thing with that whole Trey Young villain thing. When he started wearing shoes like Madison Square Garden edition shoes and going to the garden and like losing, it was just like it was embarrassing at that point. I'm not gonna lie, like it was fun for 20 minutes, and then all of a sudden it was embarrassing. I just I mm mm, I that so I'm okay without the whole villain, like rivalry, like forced ass rivalry with between the Knicks and the Hawks. I'm okay, honestly. Um I made a video this week about why the Knicks absolutely need to win the NBA championship, and I think bitches got it confused. Like I'm a Knicks fan. I am not a Knicks fan. I'm doing a series on the storylines of every single team in the playoffs. And the Knicks in particular really need a win this year. They do. That doesn't mean I want them to win, but they do need a win. Um, here's the thing Jalen Brunson always has been called too small, too short, not him. Doubted on every level. His dad is on the coaching staff. He suffers from Nepo baby I have to prove myself syndrome, which is really, really unfortunate for him. But people look at him and they're like, you don't deserve to be here. He wasn't taken seriously by the Mavs. He was Lucas' sidekick. They sent him to New York. Everyone thought New York was crazy for believing in this guy. They're like, this guy could never be the star or the number one option on a championship team. He's not a championship leader, it's not gonna happen with him. He's too small, he's too this, he's too that. But the thing about Jalen Brunson is on every level, he's been called too small and not good enough. And this, that, or the third, he won at Villanova. So I think that he can do it. I truly do think that he can do it. And I like Jalen Brunson. Unfortunately, he's going against my Hawks, and I really don't like that. But I do like Jalen Brunson. Then you've got Carl Anthony Towns, who's been called the softest softy of softy, I mean big softy, Charmin or ultra soft player of the year. He has been called soft so bad. I mean, uh, don't do y'all remember when Jimmy Butler bit him over and whooped his ass? I mean, that's not what happened, but that's basically what happened. I mean, uh, we don't need to get into the details. But Carl is known to be a little bit of a softie. I too would be soft if I was dating Jordan Woods. Bad bitch. Absolute bad bitch. I mean, wow. Um, and honestly, I don't think that that should be an insult. I mean, I do think that sometimes the criticism of Kat does slide into homophobia territory, and I'm like, I'm uncomfortable. Suddenly, it's not funny anymore. Suddenly, I am no longer laughing. Suddenly, we're being homophobic. Suddenly, I'm uncomfortable. But he's constantly being called soft. He was in Minnesota for, I believe, nine years. This is a number one overall draft pick who needs to win a championship. When you're a number one pick, you're supposed to be the missing ingredient for a championship team. Kat was traded by the team he he was he grew up as an NBA player with. They said, nah, we can do without you. We're putting all of our eggs in Ant's basket. Not that it was an either-or kind of thing, but they saw him as expendable. Nah, you're good, you're uh bye. Go to New York. I watched a video in preparation for this where he was talking about when he found out that he was traded, and he said the GM, I believe, came to dinner at his home with his dad and one of his friends, and they were all there. And he he was like, I have to drop something off at your house. And Kat was like, Don't we have team dinner this weekend? You can give it, you can give it to me then. Like, we don't you don't have to come over, like you can give it to me then. He's like, No, I'm coming over now. Um, and he told him by saying, You're gonna go start your modeling career in New York. Like, they're not serious, like they don't take him serious. Like, they don't take him serious. I'm sorry, that's disrespectful of shit. So, to be traded from the place that you've been in your whole career like that, then you move on to the coaching situation, right? They go to the they go to the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time since 2000 last year, and they fire the coach that brought them there, the the coach that brought them farther than they've been in my whole lifetime. In 25 years, they fire that coach and hire Mike Brown. That puts Mike Brown in a situation where he also needs to prove himself. A man who was fired mid-season by the the Sacramento Kings, a two-time coach of the year that was fired mid-season. If he wasn't good enough for Sacramento, and he's good enough for New York, the New York motherfucking Knicks. I mean, that are then they just went farther than they've been in 25 years. Those are big shoes to fill, mister. The Knicks overall have a lot to prove. McCall, McCall, McCall Bridges. Uh, I used Mikhail Bridges, Mikhail Bridges, is Mikhail. Yes, it's Mikhail. Yes, Mikhail. Because when I y'all, I hate pronouncing people's names wrong. I'd be looking up how to pronounce blah blah blah blah blah. Um, and I had to watch a video of Mikhail Bridges explaining how the substitute teacher always got his name wrong, which made me feel bad because the substitute teacher always called me Maria. So I relate, brother. But Mikhail Bridges, they spent five five first round draft picks to get him on the roster. Hotdy's, I don't think a lot of people understand five first round draft picks means that that's five future players that could be drafted in the first round that they they gave away for one guy, a role player at that. Jalen Brunson's homeboy from college, which also adds to the pressure on Jalen Brunson, but it adds a whole lot of pressure on Mikael Bridges, getting that name right. It adds a whole lot of pressure on Mikael Bridges because you have to prove you were worth that shit. And you have to prove that Jalen, you know, obviously okaying that was in the right for taking this chance on you. So that's pressure on his shoulders. And he he had some moments in the playoffs, I believe that was last year when he hit the game winner. And I posted on TikTok and I was like, okay, he showed his worth, right? Um, but you gotta do it on the counts. So yeah, the Knicks have a lot on their back to win a championship this year, and they're tied with the Hawks. And I I do feel honestly a little bit conflicted because I want to see Jalen Brunson win. I love a story where somebody can prove somebody wrong. And I was like hoping the Knicks and the Hawks wouldn't play each other first round because I was like, damn, I like Jalen Brunson. I would much rather see the Knicks in the finals than the Celtics. I'm sorry, I'm bored, yawn. I don't care. I mean, congratulations, Jason Tatum. Happy for him. I am happy for him. It's a great story, but not that great. I don't know. It's it's really awesome. Oh my god. Oh my god, I can feel the cancellation coming. She's insensitive.

unknown 29:33

Fuck.

SPEAKER_00 29:34

But I would much rather see the Knicks. I'm sorry. I'm trying to see what Kali Jenner is gonna have on course, and I want to see the fans blow up the city. Not literally. I talked too damn much. Let's move, let's, let's move the fuck on. Oh, I will say this about the Hawks though. For them to trade Trey Young and get and go up, I I had been saying they needed to do that. And I feel vindicated, but I was a little bit disappointed in the trade. Now, I've been proven wrong, but we still we still need a little something, something extra. I'm not gonna lie, but Jonathan Kaminga, your debts have been, your debts have been paid. The warriors try to play in your face, bitch. And and you need to show to him. Steve Kerr is about to fucking quit. He's he's so tired. Child, he he just wasn't ready to babysit somebody new. Anyways, I I said 17 cancelable things, and and over the course of five seconds. So we are going to move on from talking at the goddamn next. Okay, next, Cavs Raptors. Oh, I'm sorry. This is the series I don't give a fuck about. I'm sorry. I just don't. I just don't. Only thing I want to see, like I I peek in to see if there's any iceman like Easter eggs happening. Like you, because you know the series about the move to Toronto, and they did the whole ice seats thing for Drake. I I'm just peek, I'm gonna peek in and see if there's any like Iceman, you know, Easter eggs and whatnot, but I don't work for ESPN. I don't gotta watch games I don't give a fuck about, y'all. I can watch the I can watch the condensed version tomorrow. Now I will tune in all the games that are important and I'll read rewatch them if I need to tell y'all something. But Cavs Raptors, I don't give a shit. James, call me James Harden when it's a game seven and shit actually matters. That's what that's when I'm locking the fuck in. But I can see what Coco Jones got on at the game on Instagram. I don't need to watch it. Thunder Sons. Yo, yo, bitch. Let's put the notes down. Because I watched this. Okay, well, thank God, shit. Cause I I was about to I was about to fuck up my credibility in chat. Thunder, Thunder Sons, we got ourselves a series. Let me say this right here, right now. I like Dylan Brooks. Boom. Hold on, where my sound effects at? Hold on, where's my sound effects at? Is there a boom? Is there a bomb sound? I don't think there's a bomb sound. I mean, I guess I guess that would make sense. I guess that would make sense. Hold on. I like Dylan Brooks. Yes! I'm sorry. You know, I've I've hated him for so long that I almost started liking him. Here's the thing. We need that. I'm sorry. Do you want everyone in the NBA to be a fucking diplomatic ass? Yes, I'm so glad to be here and I'm so grateful. Like, fuck. Can we make it interesting? Can we shake the table a little bit? Ew, I'm bored. I'm bored. We get it. You all have PR. We get it. Y'all rich. You can't say the wrong thing. Like, shit. Y'all would be bored as fuck. What the fuck movie is interesting without a villain? I mean, come on. We would have quit watching Spider-Man with Toby Maguire movie one. We, the NBA, and listen, nobody wants to admit it because they're like, Dylan Brooks is a role player. Dylan Brooks, blah, blah, blah. I would honestly probably like having him on my team. And this is after hearing Devin Booker speak about Dylan Brooks. Apparently, he's a lot different off the court, which honestly, if he acts like that all the time, I mean seek therapy, brother. Let's seek therapy, brother. If he act like that all the time, that's scary. But he's weird as fuck. And I would probably hate him if I knew him in real life, but I don't. And I don't have to play basketball. So I like him. And I think his contribution to the NBA is quite enjoyable. And I will say this was weird as fuck. I so I learned something new last night. Apparently, I'm about to share my screen to show y'all this. Um, apparently, before every game, Dylan Brooks stands in the middle of the court and stares into space without blinking for two minutes. That's psychotic. That's fucking psychotic. Okay, but hold on, let me show y'all that. Whoa! I'm overwhelmed. Okay. Oh my god, he is not real. Like, he this is not a serious human being. I'm sorry. Like, this he is not serious. He's not serious. Yeah. I just had to show y'all that because it really uh it really stuck with me. Oh, child. Well, oh, I was about to move the fuck on before I talked about the most important part, the officiating. Oh, child. Okay, so I was watching the game last night, obviously. And I hate a West Coast game. Like a bitch wanna go to sleep. But they wrapped me in. They wrapped me in. SGA hurting his hand two seconds in, and he and then hitting the three. And it was it was entertaining. I can't lie. I had to watch. I couldn't look away. It was like a car crash in slow motion. Um Devin Booker got a tech called on him. Um, someone said me looking at the wait staff with the bottom of my bottomless babozas. That is taking me the fuck out. Um, but um Dylan, not Dylan Brooks, Devin Booker got called on a technical foul. He got teed up. I wrote it on my board right there. Devin Booker teed up. Um, and I'm gonna show it to you guys, and you let me know. Actually, I was supposed to wait for film review to do this. I don't know. I was supposed to move, I was supposed to wait for film review to do this shit. Whatever. Um, Devin Booker had a tech called on him, and I'm gonna show you guys the play, and you let me know if you guys think that this was a tech or worthy of getting a tech. Well, ready or not, here I go. All right. This is the tech Devin Booker got, and he actually is getting, he's gonna get fined because after the game, he called out the ref that called this by name and said, I think his name was James. James, you were terrible tonight. All right, Devin. Shit, fuck.

SPEAKER_02 36:30

On the other end for the personal thought. The official pointed at Jay Wilbus.

SPEAKER_00 36:36

Oh, look at Alex Caruso's is giving snitch. I didn't like that in the background. Huh? He's diving for a loose ball. Obviously, you know, if he catches that, he can get another, he can get a possession for his team. So obviously, you know, like he's putting in extra effort, right? It's the fucking playoffs. You should be rewarded for that. Obviously, gets the ball in his hands and then throws it at Asian Duke Dennis. As you can see, Asian Duke Dennis, number six over here. If you saw his face, you know, you would know exactly what I meant. Um, throws the ball at Asian Duke Dennis, obviously on accident, runs into the crowd. Um, then he goes over here, Alex Caruso in the back. Who then in the bed? Negative. I mean that, I mean that in a negative, you know, in a negative tone. Um, talking about I hate that shit. I hate that shit. And I like Alex Caruso, but me tech, team him up, team him up, me, me, me, crying. There goes Agent Du Dennis. Y'all see that? Um, yeah, I didn't like that. I didn't like that at all. I I I didn't like that at all. I I thought I thought that was actually rather embarrassing. Rather embarrassing and not cute. Um, Deborah, that wasn't a fucking tech. That was soft as shit. And y'all know I'm the first one to stand up for OKC because I think I think bitches are I think bitches are jealous. You know, bitches are jealous. There's a lot of that going on in the media right now, bit jealous bitches, just hating and hating and hating and hating and hating. And I think I think a lot of NBA players are hating on SGA because you know, he's decent looking, he's from Canada, niggas hate niggas hate guys from Canada for some reason, like, because you know they talk in a way and they and they care about what they dress like, and they're very like clean cut and what men like to call soft. I think bitches are jealous of of SGA. He wears fur coats in the game and he busts their asses. Sorry, like, yeah, he draws fouse, it's a skill. Um, however, however, Kava, that was egregious. There was also one with Chet that I thought was fucking uh Chet, I think he was on Devin Booker, maybe or the but chat on a smaller guy that I thought was ridiculous. Um, and I thought that call was ridiculous and soft. This is why my boyfriend always says, like, watching the WNBA is more fun because like they play defense for real. Like, to their detriment, like they be getting hurt, but they play defense for real and like shit don't be called. And in the NBA, I mean soft. Like, okay, he threw the ball on accident at Asian Duke Dennis while trying to dive for a loose ball. We're punishing effort now. Please. I don't like that. And I like it's common for a player to throw a ball at another player on accident while trying to do dive for a lease loose ball with Devin and Devin Booker don't bother nobody. That's what bothers me. Like, Devin Booker really don't bother nobody like that. If anything, he needs to bother people more. He need to make some more noise because they were comparing him to Kobe Bryant a couple playoffs ago. Now all of a sudden, he he uh doing a residency in the play-in tournament. Anyways, what now why why the fuck did Devin Booker catch a stray? Oh nobody's safe. See, this is why I'm banned from Clippers games. Okay, Spurs Blazers, also another one I'd be tuning into. Because when it comes to Wimbe, I'm watching. When it comes to Wimbinama, I'm turning the TV on a I'm not a rapper. Um Spurs Blazers tied 1-1. I hope the Blazers enjoy their one because I'm not taking the Blazers seriously. I'm sorry. And I know a lot, I know I got a lot of Portland fans that that follow me and love me, but I'm come on, y'all. Let's be serious. Me and you, let's be serious. Um, Victor Wamayama had 35 points in his playoff debut, breaking the record previously held by Tim Duncan, who was in the audience in that fuck ass t-shirt watching. My homegirl texted me and said, the Spurs Arena looked like Michael Jackson's Super Bowl halftime performance. Talk about heal the world, rainbow, all around the chat. Um, then she said it looked like the Coldplay Super Bowl halftime performance. Para, para, paradise. Just I'm gonna say just a mess, but I honestly think it's kind of cute. Like, because I'm from Atlanta, and bitches don't wear the shirt. Bitches don't wear the shirt, bitches don't wear the shirt. Like, bitches are like, I got on chrome hearts. I'm not the you know, they look at the back of the seat. This you want me to wear that? Oh no, baby. Hey, and listen, I know that that's not pride and that's not team spirit, and you know, fuck you if you don't wear the shirt. Now, I will be a follower when I'm at my playoff game on Saturday. And if everyone else is wearing the shirt, I mean I'll throw it on. I'm gonna wear like a wife beater or something so that I can like, you know, if I need to throw it on because everyone else has it on, I don't want to look like a dickhead, but do I want to put that fucking shirt on? No, not really. I I want a picture with my G7X. I like I feel like that people act like that that's frowned upon. People just going to NBA games to get a fit off. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Actually, absolutely, I'm getting a fit off at an NBA game. Are you crazy? Anyway, child. They had that shirt on though in San Antonio. In San Antonio, even Tim Duncan had the shirt on at San Antonio, the Fiesta shirts, different color every section. Yes, imagine if you were in the ugly color section. I would be fucking pissed. Anyways, um, yeah, Wimby hit his head.

SPEAKER_02 42:15

Watch his going to break, so and you'd say that for that purpose, you see.

SPEAKER_00 42:19

Oh, Wimby got a concussion in game two. So he won defensive player of the year on Monday, scored 35 in his playoff debut on Sunday. He fell face first into the court on Tuesday and left after 12 minutes. The series is tied 1-1, and game three is on Friday in Portland. Let me tell y'all something right now. Wimby is not playing in that game. Oh my god. Do you think the NBA is going to risk bouncing Wimby's brain around in his head like a Maraca? Oh fuck no. That's their meal. LeBron, LeBron is 40 billion years old. Wimby is their meal ticket. Steph Curry and him are boohoo crying on the court after losing a playing game. Like this is fucking, like, this is fucking a meeting between homegirls that ain't seen each other in a while. Like, these niggas are unks. I'm trying to use that word less on the internet. Um, these men are unks. They're unks, they're old, elderly. It's they're on their way out. I mean, LeBron is still like, he has anyone drug tested him? I don't know. He might be he might be too rich for that. They they might send a drug test to LeBron's house and then he's gonna send the black trucks to Adam Silver's house talking about don't don't fucking play with me. Drug test. Girl, you're fired. He LeBron could probably fire Adam if he wanted to. Shit, fuck. But yeah, these niggas are old. They need Wimby. So no, they are not going to put Wimby on that court and having his brain rock around in his head like a Morocca, like that. No, this ain't the NFL. Could you imagine Wimby getting CTE? That would be like. Worse than COVID for the that would be like World War Motherfucking 3. Bitch. Hell no, Wimby not playing in game three. And if he is, the best doctor said he is just fine. But I saw the video. I like how that looked. That looked very, that looked very football-ish. Very uh, we don't do that around here, partner. Like give Wimby all the time he needs hot time he needs. It's the fucking blazers. Y'all want y'all better figure it the fuck out. Because one thing about OKC, somebody goes down at OKC, they figure it the fuck out. Let me tell you. Uh anyway, child. Nuggets Timberwolves. Nuggets Timberwolves. Tied 1-1. Jokic passed up a game tying open shot in the final seconds of game two. The Timberwolves won. Rudy Gobert took it very personal that he wasn't the defensive player of the year. He said, They don't appreciate greatness, but they will. Whatever that means, Rudy. Like, I don't. His coworkers hate him. Hate him. Like, child Rudy, you can kiss that defensive player of the year war goodbye for the first year. That nigga is 7'7 and can play, he can move like Steph Curry. I I was watching the Spurs the other day. I turned the game on. Me and my boyfriend sit down. We have our little meals with us. We sit down. Wimby jumped from the free throw line. He jumped from the free throw line to the fucking basket to block a shot. I I James, I no. Rudy, kiss it. Kiss it. Goodbye. Your defensive player of the year awards are through. Victor Womanyama is the defensive player of the decade. Good luck to you. Talking about, well, they'll recognize greatness when I'm baby. Baby, I can promise you one thing. When my kids are growing up and I'm telling them about the good old days in the NBA, I'm not saying, hey, yo, throw on them Rudy Gobert highlights. Next. The Lakers lead the Rockets 2-0. LeBron is carrying the team without Luka Doncic and Austin Reeves, who are both injured. Kevin Durant came back from Houston for Houston, but it still wasn't enough. Again, they are Unks. Unk status, Unk City USA. Let SGA Nim have it. The LeBron Dunk, that was cool though. That was cool though. Those are highlights I will show to my young ones. LeBron on the court with his teammate that he literally made himself. Yeah. But oh yeah, somebody mentioned this in the in the chat, and I do want to say this before I get clipped and embarrassed. And if somebody clips me and tries my shit, y'all better show them my video where I said that Rudy Gobert did lock Jokic the fuck up. He locked the fuck in, he played that damn defense. He he played that damn defense. I'm just saying, I'm just saying he's never gonna win the award again. He's won it four times. Okay? He's never gonna win it again. It's never gonna be you. That's all I'm saying. But congratulations to him. Anyways, fuck. I don't know why talking about Rudy Gobert just irritated me. Like, ugh. Anyways. The NFL draft is tonight at 8 p.m. What's that what's that sound? What's the draft music that stresses me out? The the that fucking noise like gives me anxiety. And I don't know shit about being drafted into nothing. Only thing I could ever be drafted to is the war. Like, and even then, good luck fighting with me, America. So, but for some reason that noise stresses me the absolute living fuck out. But it's time to talk about the NFL draft. Yes! I love my music. Okay, so the NFL draft is tonight. Fernando Mendoza is supposed to go number one to the Raiders. AJ Brown's fate is supposed to be getting decided in the background. The Eagles and Patriots picks tonight will tell us a lot about where the breakup with AJ Brown, my land. Yes. Um, guys, it's time to get into our hot girl lesson of the day, okay? Um, we are going to talk about the NFL draft and the storylines that are um at play, and then I'm going to show you some of the most iconic, good or bad, that could be derogatory or positive. Um, NFL draft outfits of all time and film review. Now, I'm gonna speed through these storylines, you know, because yeah, some of them are interesting, some of them, you know, whatever. But I will say, every time I hear an NFL draft, I can't believe that was that last year or the year before last, when they had Shador Sanders sitting there till the fucking fifth round. That was insane. I can y'all like that as a sports fan, one of the most gaggerific things I have ever seen was Shador Sanders on that fuck ass stream, sitting there at that computer waiting to be drafted. That they are wrong as hell, and he still ain't recovered from that shit. They are wrong as hell for that. Justice. Baby, we're not talking about the NFL draft, we're talking about the NBA draft, we're talking about the NFL. Y'all lock in. But justice for Shador Sanders because that pissed me clean the fuck off, and I'm still mad about it to this day. Leaving Lamar Jackson sitting with his mama in the draft room like this all alone till the very end pissed me off to this day. Um, but yeah, the storylines for this year. Um, the AJ Brown breakup in Philly isn't official yet. Um, after we have seen him reading books on the sidelines and, you know, talking about his teammates on stream. Obviously, he don't want to be in Philly anymore. The word on the street is that they're sending him to the Patriots. So we're just keeping an eye on what happens there. Um, now, the fashion. Um, 16 prospects will walk the stage tonight in Pittsburgh. Past drafts have had some of the best outfits in sports and some of the absolute fucking worst shit I've ever seen. This is essentially a red carpet for 22-year-olds that just got told they're gonna be millionaires. If this were, you know, 1991. They're already fucking millionaires. It the damage has been done. I mean, they they gonna be in Cartier glasses and them spiky ass Lubutins. Let me not, I'll get into that later. But in their mama's face and they jacket. They they getting drafted is just another million in the bank for them, honey. Ch-ching. Um, yeah. Fernando Mendoza is supposed to go number one. Um, shout out to him. Apparently, he's not going, which I'm the number one pick. I'm not going. I guess it's like it allows you to have a draft party at home with your family and shit. I am too, I'm too vain for that. I need to go get a fit off. And I need my hat and my picture, shaking Roger Goodell's hand, and I need all that. But that's just me dope. Oh, I see y'all talking about uh, I see y'all talking about y'all talking about Mike Vrabel. Yeah, we talked about that earlier in the show. Mike Vrabel will be missing night three of the draft, which is really random, right? Like you can go to night one and two. Um, night three of the draft to go to counseling for cheating. Yeah. Um, so that's crazy. I mean, bro, why can't you just go to counseling after the draft? Did you did you have to go to counseling now just so that like we had to know about it? Like that it mattered in the NFL storylines, you know? I don't know. Jeremiah Love, the Notre Dame running back who is projected to go in the top 15. Watch for him. He's explosive, he's exciting, and the kind of player the casual fans can immediately latch on to. Um, and then the trade drama, which is one of my favorite parts of the draft because I like 16-year-olds, like guessing how good they're gonna be at football. I care kind of, but I like the home. Um, teams can teams can trade their picks in real time during the broadcast. So let's say I'm number one and you're number five. Like, we can trade, and I'll go down to number five, and you can come up to number one. Like, it's very interesting to see how the teams move around, and there is no warning, okay? A team can jump 15 spots in 30 seconds. This is what makes the draft really feel like live reality TV, right? Because like they're making these moves in real time. And then there's also the girlfriends. The girlfriends, the poor girlfriends. Because if you're too hot, like you're trying to take the stage from your man. If you look too happy, you're a gold digger who's excited that he's gonna be making more money. If you're too upset, you're you don't give a fuck about your man. You're not a good girlfriend. No matter what they do sitting at that table, it's gonna be some tea. But we've seen some iconic draft moments. I mean, girls getting ripped up from the table by their man's mama. CeeDee Lamb, I believe that was CeeDee Lamb, snatching his phone out of his girl's hand while she was looking at it. I'm trying to think, because if you're a girlfriend, right, you gotta sit at the table, not only to support your man, but to stake your claim. Bitches gotta know he's taking. But at the same time, you're sacrificing your own public reputation just by sitting there. So damned if you do, damned if you don't. Now, let's get into film study. My favorite segment of the show, where I show you guys some film and we review it. But today in film study, we aren't going to be looking at film. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Not usually not the film, not film in the sense that we normally are watching film. We are going to be looking at a little presentation I made for you, a little prezi I made for you, of some of the most iconic NFL draft fashion of all time. And I am going to be going through this this deck and showing you guys this fashion, and I'm going to tell you if it is hot or if it is not. Yes. Oh my god. Breaking news. Oh my god. James Pierce Jr. had his charges dropped. Oh my god. What the f hold on, y'all. James Pierce Jr. The man who stalked and followed Rakia Jackson. We'll get into these draft outfits a little bit later if I'm even in the fucking mood at this point. Um oh wow. Okay. Two hours ago, ESPN. Okay, um, I've got the ESPN report right here. Um, Atlanta Falcons edge rusher James Pierce Jr. agreed Thursday to enter an intervention program, allowing him to avoid trial on felony charges of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, fleeing police, and resisting arrest, along with misdemeanor stalking, his attorney said. Pierce's attorney, Yale Stanford, told ESPN that Pierce must stay away from his girlfriend, WNBA player Rakia Jackson, and participate in therapy as part of the stipulations of his six-month intervention program, which is run by an outside third party. Pierce was not present in the courtroom, but attended the hearing via video conference. Why the fuck wasn't he in court? Why was he excused from court? I don't understand. It better not be because of fucking football. He is scheduled to appear in Miami-Dade County Court on May 7th, because that's where he tried to ram his car into her car. Um to finalize the details. Florida allow Florida law allows for the police officers and the victim, Rikia Jackson in this case, to be consulted before the deal is finalized. Why am I getting stitched in my stomach? The Falcons declined to comment on Thursday. Today, I hate when they say that. Thursday, it's today. Of course the Falcons declined to comment, citing the pending legal matter. Messages left the Miami Dade state attorney's office and Jackson's attorneys were not immediately returned to ESPN. The four counts against Pierce stemmed from a February 7th incident in Doral, Florida, which he in which he allegedly allegedly, in which he allegedly rammed his Lamborghini into a car being driven by Rakia Jackson and then drove away from the police when they attempted to arrest him. Pierce allegedly followed Jackson's car and repeatedly collided with hers as she attempted to reach the police station. Officers confronted him but reported that he disobeyed their orders and fled his vehicle before crashing at the intersection. He tried to continue on foot before subdued him, according to police accounts. He then allegedly resisted arrest. Pierce wound up spending the night in jail before being released the following day on a$20,500 bond. Jackson wrote in a protective order filing February 9th that she drove to the Doral police station on February 7th because she knew that James Pierce Jr. was going to hurt her. This is what she said, and I quote, she quote, knew James was going to hurt me. Pierce's legal team told ESPN at the time of the charges that Pierce maintains his innocence and urges the public to understand that while allegations have the power to shape a narrative, that is hardly the full and complete story. Officers in Doral, I do want to mention this part and then we'll talk about it, responded to at least eight 911 calls involving Pierce between November and his arrest. Eight 911 calls. Seven in Doral involving Rikia Jackson, or an ex-girlfriend whose name was redacted in the reports. I'm sorry. Um, and one in Davy, Davy, where Pierce and Jackson allegedly got into an argument in Uber after Pierce believed Jackson was cheating on him. She alleged that Pierce took her phone, pulled her hair, and scratched her left hand. Pierce said that there was no physical altercation. For this, he got six months. He got his felony charges dropped. Um and he agreed to enter an intervention program for six months. He agreed to go to therapy. Punishing men, punishing men with therapy, right? His his sentence for stalking this woman who called the police about him eight times in a short time span while she was in Florida playing for Unrivaled, doing her fucking job. This man was stalking her and scaring the shit out of her. He rammed his car into hers on purpose while she tried to flee to a police station and no charges. This is all alleged, right? He has to enter a he has to go to therapy for six months. Are you fucking kidding me? No women should have to worry about a man like this being out on the streets. He needs to go to jail. He is a dangerous person. And I'm not saying, you know, human beings can experience things. God forgives. God forgives, but I don't have to. He needs to be punished for what he did to her. That is disgusting. And the Falcons declined to comment. Of course they did. Is he or is he not going to continue to be on your roster? That's what I want to know. Like that is he or is he not going to be on the roster? This is disgusting. And it sets a bad example and a bad precedent for men and what football players are able to get away with, and regular men walking down the street are not. I am disgusted. I'm embarrassed, and my heart aches for Ricky Jackson. And I'm trying not to be a traumatic cancer and cry. Um because how much more can he do? If this situation didn't happen in public, where he rammed his car into hers and put her in danger, they probably wouldn't even believe her. And she called the police eight times. So it's funny, women are told, Oh, you didn't file a police report, you didn't go to the police, you didn't well, she did all of that shit, and the man is still walking. He's not allowed to talk to her and he has to go to therapy for six months. That's his punishment for crashing his car into hers and abusing her. Uh wow. I I do think, you know, I was going to get into, you know, some NFL draft suits. And I don't know if, you know, given what I just spoke about, that is going to be the best option. I think, you know, to close the show, I am quite disappointed. Um, but to take care of yourselves, ladies, and protect yourselves in any way that you can. Um, and don't rely on other people to in due process to do that. Because we've been shown time and time again they don't give a fuck. And I would not be shocked if he continues to play in the NFL. I wouldn't. I really wouldn't. Yeah, that's disappointing. Someone in the chat said this is the equivalent to moving lunch tables and getting a time out. Yeah. It's pretty much what it is, right? Um, this was a really fun show. Um, and I'm really thankful for all of you guys for watching. Take care of yourselves. I love you so much. I'm always keeping real with y'all.
