SPEAKER_01

Amen. Say, man. Welcome back. To the read and react. Hey. Yeah. Hey, it's the it's the read and react. It's the read and react. Yeah, yeah. Welcome back, it's the read and react. We doing this, we doing that. It's the reading react. We talkin' football. We talkin' basketball. Hey, hey, hey, you know what's going on. No it's dude, say can. Welcome to the show, we got goods on hand. Better watch our chick, they want us to be they man. Kick back, grab a snack, send a link to a friend. Two sons, one pop, yeah, we setting the strand. Just tell me what you need. Rap, sports, and comedy. Go ahead and leave a comment if I replace this properly. It's your boy AC, man. Who we here with today? Deuce in the house. Over there. Ken in the house. Over here. Alright, man. Uh, so we came to a a a sad ending. We came to a sad ending, man. Uh this man or a thing. Throw the whole team away. Uh, I'm not, I'm not happy with Nick Nurse. I'm not happy with Joel Embiid. I I don't know, man. I'm I'm just not happy with the process. It's it's not a process. It's it's bullshit. Uh honestly. It's it's there's no blueprint to this. The team isn't built to win. The team is built to have fun. They're like at this point, bro.

SPEAKER_02

There's no and you definitely can scrap this shit.

SPEAKER_01

I don't know what's going on, bro.

SPEAKER_04

A hundred, a hundred, I think it's like two hundred and twenty-five million between two fucking players. Go ahead and throw that shit the fuck in the trash and go get you some people. And beat is over. Paul George is over. Paul George been over. And ain't nobody want to hear that when I first said something about it. Y'all wanted to uh playoff P and post post suspension P and that's what he was doing. Rid of P man, get rid of P. Get that nigga out of here and get him beat out of here.

SPEAKER_01

Starting the games off good and didn't just not doing nothing in the second game.

SPEAKER_02

Speaking on P Pause. Um let's go with this with a trade scenario for Mr. Number Eight, employee number eight.

SPEAKER_04

Who's who wanna pick that contract up, though? $125 million on that man's neck.

SPEAKER_01

That's not even that important nowadays in this day and age in basketball. Right.

SPEAKER_02

And that's an aspiring contract because once you get him for that last year, the following year, you can just drop his contract. So to me, to me, he goes next year to somebody like the Kings, um, maybe even the Clippers. Back to LA. Back to LA. He's a West Coast guy. This way he can go ahead and retire a West Coast guy and fade out into the West Coast sunset.

SPEAKER_04

You know where I think he needs to go? It's too cliche, but he needs to go back to the Pacers and pace it out.

SPEAKER_02

No, I think.

SPEAKER_01

No, next year. Him and Tyrese Holliburn?

SPEAKER_02

Next year, yeah. Next year, they're gonna be they're gonna be back to where they was two years ago.

SPEAKER_01

That would be nice.

SPEAKER_02

That would be nice, in my opinion. He basically sat out a whole nother year.

SPEAKER_04

So when Tyrese Haliburn comes back, they definitely gonna be cold again.

SPEAKER_02

And then the same thing with Joel M B. I see Joel and B trade. You gotta give up picks to give him attractability. But once you give up the picks, he'll have the attractibility. You can get him easy trade. So now with who? Here's the scenario Milwaukee. Milwaukee is a fallen team, they just fired their coach, they don't know what direction they're going, and they're super like gutted. They don't have anything. So to give them a bunch of draft picks and a and a player of a magnitude like Joel Embiid and give up Giannis and bring Giannis here, that's doable. And you're giving up damage goods for damaged goods.

SPEAKER_04

Giannis it's not damaged goods.

SPEAKER_02

Exactly. Giannis just don't want to be in the right. I don't think he just didn't want to be in Milwaukee no more.

SPEAKER_04

He wants to go to a bigger market. That's why it's a lot of speculation for him to go to the Lakers.

SPEAKER_02

I don't think he's Lakersh. More New York-ish than Lakersh, but if anywhere could go, it could be Philadelphia.

SPEAKER_04

Him in New York is very the Sixers need anybody that's gonna that's gonna play defense and and do with what's necessary for the Sixers to win. What you saying, Aaron?

SPEAKER_01

Because right now I said that's dangerous. He go to the Knicks. I ain't gonna lie, bro. That would be dangerous. He goes to the Knicks, the Sixers will never see the day of light. The Knicks will win Arnolds for that next four years. I don't see nobody beating that team. They get Giannis. I don't know Miles Bridges, fucking Makai Bridges. What? Giannis, nigga, but cat nigga what? Nigga, what? That that's that's a cat.

SPEAKER_02

OG Ananobi. No, Ona Nobi won't be there.

SPEAKER_01

Somebody gotta go. What? Where where's Ananobi going, bro? Somebody gotta go. It would somebody will have to leave.

SPEAKER_04

Nah, not really. Don't his contract expire this year?

SPEAKER_01

But they're gonna trade him. I think Giannis is gonna last year. They're not gonna just let him walk away. They're gonna trade him. You're not gonna just let that type of player walk off, even though you know he's not gonna sign another contract, so you gotta trade him.

SPEAKER_02

And he just got hurt, and he'll be coming back from injury. And nobody really wants to deal with a with a with a player that that's been injured. But Milwaukee will.

SPEAKER_01

He's not doing it no more, bro. He's tired of that shit. He don't want to be on that team no more. He's leaving. So he basically trade him or lose him for nothing. So they're they're gonna trade him. This is a guarantee he's gonna get traded. They're not just gonna let Giannis walk off. They do that. That's the dumbest franchise in the world. Everybody needs to get fired after that. The owner needs to quit. He needs to sell the team.

SPEAKER_02

That shit crazy. I don't have nothing to say.

SPEAKER_01

I'm I'm I'm I'm disappointed in 76ers. Uh absolutely. Uh I'm not even I'm not even wanting more for Maxie or or VJ. You know, VJ's young. Maxie is just doing whatever he probably told to do. Nick Nurse don't have a clue what he's doing because he can't close a game out. Nick Nurse has been up in games multiple times this season, and he's let teams come back and not even come back and win like by one or two, come back and destroy. Um he's let teams turn the knife and turn and turn and turn. And I get he's not on the floor, but he's not putting a game plan together either. He's not doing nothing. His game plan is if Joel and B is on the floor, set a screen, Maxi run to the left, maxi run to the right, try to lay it up. If not, step back, shoot it. If uh everybody's in the game, nobody else is gonna do anything. If Joel's on the floor, throw him the ball, throw him on the one side of the court, have him ISO back up. If he don't do that, uh have Maxi run around another screen and shoot the ball. Uh throw a pass down to the middle, uh, try to see if someone can get a layup. If not, it's stolen. If not, it's a steal, and everybody knows what we're doing. And then when that's not working, you see what happens. Turnover, turnover, turnover, turnover, turnover, and we're losing fucking games. 10-0 runs, 15-0 runs, nine-three runs. It don't matter how good you are at basketball, you're not gonna just sit here and keep doing the same shit and beat teams like that. You no team plays like that in the NBA, but us and that that you see what the problem is. You can ISO, yeah, but that's not even what we're doing. We're doing it to where, oh, we're trying to limit off space on the court, and then when he passes the ball, y'all missing shots. Not we're not 100% perfect shooters. Uh, we don't have no bench. Well, actually, we do have a bench. We just don't uh Nick Nerds don't know how to use it. He don't know how to use it. Yeah, he can only do he bring off the fucking benches. Quentin Grimes, a little wise guard. Bro, should have never got rid of Jared McCain. He's not even dropping 20. Like, we should, if anything, we should let Quentin Grimes go. Like, bro, Jared McCain out there on a fucking OKC, coming out there shooting the box from half court. As soon as he gets in the game, playoffs time, green bean, whooping LeBron James and shit. Like, bro, this shit. Nigga dropping 20 points off the bench, 18 points off the bench, back to back games and shit. We ain't Quentin Grimes ain't did that since the regular season.

SPEAKER_04

Sound like what? It sounded like it sounded like Kevin Patulo had a little bit to do with that offense. I'm just saying. Sound like Nick Nurse got a little Kevin Patulo in him. We're we're becoming um the sixers are are becoming too predictable.

SPEAKER_01

I don't know why anybody thought he was a good coach. Bro, he he made a defensive team and then had Kawhi Leonard win him a chip. He wouldn't have won nothing if anybody else was on that team other than Kawhi Leonard. Yep, absolutely. Literally, Kawhi Leonard is the only reason he has any validation. Fred Van Freddy.

SPEAKER_04

Shit, even during that run. Even during that run, he motherfucking who who he who he shoot that shot over? The process. And what that shot do? Bounce, bounce.

SPEAKER_01

Ben Simmons stopped playing fucking defense. Ben Simmons was on his ass and then just let him go. If Ben Simmons would have stayed on his ass, bro, that wouldn't have he wouldn't have made that shit. Ben Simmons let him go and then Joel was in here trying to run. Like, come on, bro.

SPEAKER_04

Alright, don't don't get me wrong. I understand. And B put his life on the line. And he did what we but for us to get swept like that. I mean, for the Sixers to get swept like that. It's it's there's nothing you can say about that. Like, bro, where the broom at?

SPEAKER_01

They they're playing good, they're playing good ass basketball. Like you can't guard that. Yeah, you can't guard that. You can't.

SPEAKER_04

But if you if you just did all that to come back from a from a 3-3-1 lead, bro, come on, bro. We're not beating.

SPEAKER_01

Where the rest of the rest of you are gonna go to the finals. They're probably gonna go to the finals. The Knicks are probably gonna go to the finals. I don't see nobody beating them, bro. Who you think they matching up with? The Spurs? No, the Spurs are the Spurs can no the Spurs the Spurs can probably make it. I ain't gonna lie. OKC is not good, bro. Okay, bro. OKC is not a good basketball team. I'm saying that right here, right now. OKC is not a good basketball team. I want this to be a remember her shy Gilders Alexander is not good at basketball. I don't care what you say. That is the weakest basketball player I've ever seen in my life. That's not basketball. That is embarrassing, that is embarrassing to watch, bro. That is embarrassing to watch. Him go watching them go against watching him go against the Suns was terrible. Watching him go against the Lakers was terrible. That's not good basketball. I don't care what you say. Lou Dort is the best is is the best defender on that team, and I give respect to him and him only. Everybody else on that team, no. So I guess Alexander is not good at basketball. All that he do is elbow, stiff arm people and shoot the ball, bro. Yeah, he can shoot. Yeah, he can do that. I guess he's good at basketball. He's good at shooting the ball, yeah. He's good at making shots and elbowing people and stiff arm, but that's not basketball, bro. He's running up, they let him stiff arm, let him elbow, let him do all this extra stuff. He runs up, nobody touches him. He flops, throws the ball up. That's not basketball, bro. We're watching, we're watching an act, we're watching an acting show, a bad, we're about we're watching a bad act, bro. That shit is weak as hell. I don't respect that. I don't respect him as a player. I don't think he's a good basketball player, and I stand on that, and that's and that's how I feel. OKC is not a good basketball team, in my opinion. So I give this Alexander his pass, in my opinion. I don't care what nobody's gonna be.

SPEAKER_04

You're not the only one that feels that. You're not the only one that feels that way. Excuse me. You're not the only one that feels that way. That's a lot of people that feel that way about Shay. Shay, that's the the way he played ball, bro, is not it's so unorthodox, bro. It don't even make sense for him to be in the league playing like that.

SPEAKER_02

Okay, so that's not give him his flowers.

SPEAKER_01

So are we moving on? We should so uh we're still talking about the 76 issue. I'm just being an asshole, bro.

SPEAKER_02

I'm not a fan of the bull either. But I'm also hurt and really disappointed on how the season ended for the Sixers after so much promise of coming back from 3-1 with the Boston Celtics. A story franchise that been handling us, and we can't come back from that with no authority, fall, fall out and get swept. That's a bad look. It's a bad luck for the for it's a bad look for the organization.

SPEAKER_01

I don't see how I don't see how we beat the Celtics, bro. I don't see how we did that because the Celtics would have probably gave them a game seven or something like that with the Knicks.

SPEAKER_02

It was the it was the difference in energy. It was like once we beat the Celtics, it was like we did something. We accomplished something.

SPEAKER_04

That was our championship right there.

SPEAKER_02

Yep.

SPEAKER_04

You you said it in the last show. That was our championship right there. That was what they wanted. They wanted the Celtics, they got the Celtics 3-1. They blew the Celtics choke, they blew a 3-1 lead, came all the way back to lose, right? Now you got all these tired ass fucking players, Joel and Paul George, excuse me, um, that don't want to do shit now. They they depended on the younger guys.

SPEAKER_01

You can't say that, that's not true.

SPEAKER_04

This is my opinion. I can say that. They they I feel as though they depended on the younger guys to to rally them back up and and go get that for them. That's not what happened. You can't you can't depend on VJ Edgecomb. He's he's a rookie, he's never been in this situation before. You can't depend on Maxie because Maxie is only maxi, he only can do maxi things, and without the the the the help of Paul George and and and MB, Maxi can't is not that effective without them. Not saying Maxie is not effective, maxie isn't as effective without Paul George and and and B playing the way they need to play to for it to be a team game and then win games.

SPEAKER_01

I mean, I you can say that.

SPEAKER_04

I I blame, like I said before, I blame MB and I blame Paul George.

SPEAKER_01

Uh Paul George and MB and I blame Nick Nerd. Paul George and MB play well to a certain extent. They could have did better, but uh, we could have been getting MB 70 fucking points. And that like that's that's what we needed. But MB had no fucking appendix. I get it with that, with that, with that part. But with Paul George, with him dropping points in the first half, like he was doing, and how he was coming out hot, shooting shots, and doing everything he was doing, and then just going cool after like it's it's no points you get 15 points, 20 points, 25 points in the first half, and then that second half, you get five points, and that's it. You don't get nothing.

SPEAKER_04

You know, two games in a row. You know, I feel like I feel like since the since the league, since both leagues, NFL and NBA, since they adapted to this new um betting thing, bro, I ain't even gonna hold you. The league been kind of shitty. And the fact that you got players doing shit like that, getting 15 points in the first half and not scoring for the rest of the game, honestly, that's a load of bullshit. Because you it's them props, it's them prayer props, it's the it's the the over and unders on players, it's the over and unders on teams. A lot of that shit don't got no no real significance to the to the to the game. And and honestly, it's becoming more significant to the game because it's it's making players like Paul George not score no more. It's it's you you're taking the fun out of the game because you you got players that's projected to get, let's say, 20 25 points for the game. They only scored 15. For what? You you're you're a pro athlete, you you come out hot, you ball in, and then now for the rest of the game you code the shit. Ain't no fucking way. Ain't no fucking way, bro. That shit is a load of bullshit. And since the since the leagues have adapted that, you can see it is very prevalent. Just watch the game. You can see that shit. A lot of players do one thing and then they ain't doing it the same way no more. One game they ballin' out, they got 30, 40 points. The next game you get 10 points. You just have 40 points, you just had 25 points, you just scored 30 points. Now you only good for 15. It's no fucking way.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, you can't say in consistency.

SPEAKER_02

I just think we just gotta make changes.

SPEAKER_01

We gotta, we gotta get some players that that that that have some type of substance or some we gotta get well well-rounded players. Like, we gotta stop just going to get people that we see as oh, he's a shooter, he can shoot. Let's go get him so he can shoot. Like, no, we need to go get players that can play basketball, that can play defense, that can do this, that can do that. And bro, I don't even think this man, Josh, not Josh, Nick Nurse know what he has on his team, bro. Like, I don't understand, like, if he like get that he got people on the bench that's not bad at basketball. I don't really you like Justin Edwards. I I don't really care for the dude. I don't know, I don't I think he's alright. But the point is he can come in there and get like 10, 12 points. He can come in there and score some points. I don't know how good his defense is and all that, but like he can come in there and get some points though. You can have you can sit people down is my point. You can have them come in and do a little something, something. You got people like uh Jabari, Jabari Walker, you got people like him, you got you got Dominique Barlow, you have a dim bona, like you have all of these people, like you got big like bigger people that can play defense, that can stop all of that running past me, going in the paint shit. You can go big and then have Tyrese Maxie and As a small sit VJ down, go and go ahead and throw in Kelly Ubre. Put in Kelly Oubre as the guard. Put in uh uh uh Barlow or somebody else that's taller, make our little Paul George right there, then put a dim bona at power forward, then Joel and B and let him shoot them threes like he wants to, and let a dim bona play power forward and get down there in in the trenches. Like you there you there's things you can do because you you know you know and be don't want to be down there, he's hurting. All he wants to do is shoot. So let him do that, right? Let him orchestrate from the mid-range to the three game. You got a dim bona, a dude you know is blocking shots, a dude you know it can dunk the ball. Him and Maxi was playing good. Have Maxi start throwing him lobs or something, had him run a little thing to where he boom, boom, screen, he come across, bang, he got the jump. You know he gonna jump. He got the athleticism. It's just like he don't he not using what he have, bro. And it it's it it's just like bro, is what what is this team made for? It's like we uh even though we had a whole season, we went to the whole playoffs. You could people could say, oh bro, if this team is playing right, they can beat any five. Everybody was there. Yeah, they a little hurt, but it like bro, but we ain't beating no five the way we playing. Paul George being inconsistent, he didn't even have to be inconsistent, he just wasn't doing anything in the second half. It wasn't that he wasn't shooting or nothing, like he just passing the ball around, not doing shit. Like, this shit is just ridiculous to me, but definitely ridiculous.

SPEAKER_04

Nobody wanted to step up and be a fucking hero.

SPEAKER_01

It's it's Nick Nurse, bro. It's Nick Nurse, he's not a coach, he's not a good coach. He's built around a man that carried him to the finals and defense, man. It is it's this is just not it's not good. It's not good. He don't he don't even he don't even have a defensive team for him to be a defensive type of coach. Like if the defense could could be definitely be better, and he should be able to teach defensive schemes if he's such a defensive coach. Why the fuck are teams able to easily go on nine runs, ten runs, 11-0 runs?

SPEAKER_02

I think his his his philosophy is a bit outdated.

SPEAKER_01

Like, bro, it's he only won because of Kawhi Leonard. Okay, maybe they get Kawhi Leonard. So he can carry him some O? Like, it's it's don't don't smack, bro. It's it's a possibility. Kawhi Leonard is available. Ain't nobody else on that team but him now. Oh well, he's on our clippers, ain't it? Ain't nobody else on that team but him now. And you still make over there dropping 40 points a game, 30 points a game when he came back off the injury. And drop who for who? Speak that into his tell me how simpa, George, and Joe L and B. Bye-bye. Okay. I can see that. But no, I can never get rid of Joel MB. Use Dimbona as the as the center. Bro, yeah. But we're probably not gonna ever get rid of Joel M B. So probably Paul George and and like Quentin Grimes. I'm okay with that. Bye-bye, Quentin Grimes. Give us give us Kawhi Leonard. We're talking about the Sixers, they'll fuck around and give away Dimbona. If they do that, bro, I ain't gonna lie. Uh I'm I'm not a 76ers fan anymore. I'm not a 76ers fan after that.

SPEAKER_02

They're not getting rid of Dimbona.

SPEAKER_04

But we're talking about the Sixers here.

SPEAKER_02

They're not we give up, we give up people. We're talking about the Sixes here. Five threes in a row.

SPEAKER_01

We think we think they're we think they're uh demi-gods. We give away, we give away defensive, we give away defensive demons. Like, like, bro. We need to go get Matisse Daibo back for sure. But let's but you can get him back. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's a it's a chance to get him back too because he's not even averaging that shit. Like what, five points? Ain't he coming off the bench?

SPEAKER_02

Defensive stopper. And you what start him?

SPEAKER_01

Hell yeah. No, no, no. Put that to a defensive stopper. He's a defensive stopper, bro. Like a good ass defensive stocker. Like he was put he was locking up. Like when he was younger, he was locking up stock Stephan Curry and shit. And he liked 6'5. They call him Matisse Thai bully. Boy, nice. He played for Portland right now. He was on our team, but we don't have him anymore.

SPEAKER_04

I know who you're talking about. I know who uh Matisse Thaibo is.

SPEAKER_01

But sixers just don't know how to use what they got, man.

SPEAKER_02

That's all nerds is the reason why.

SPEAKER_01

Champagne Champagne. He on that's that's on the uh that's on San Antonio right now. He on our team. He was on our team. Yep. Big ass go big ass forward. Now he's over there killing it with fucking Limbin Yama and him. Hey, San Antonio is is good. San Antonio is good. Like, like I want like I want a team like that, bro. Like, that's so nice. Like with fucking De'Aaron Fox and Castle, bro. Those are some fucking nice ass guards to have, bro. Once VJ gets locked in, that's how it's gonna be for us. Like, um, we got De'Aaron Fox is gonna be Maxi, and I don't know if VJ is gonna be a fucking castle, though. I don't know. Hopefully he could be Castle. He cause Castle dropping like 30. Castle get buckets. But any play, any play defense. He played defense, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, he's a very gritty player.

SPEAKER_01

If if VJ can keep up this defensive shit and run in the minutes like he's doing, and just be able to put points on the ground, then we might have something right there. That might be the perfect combo guard. But he could just fuck around and be like a Lou Dort type of dude and just but just get more a little bit more points. If that's the case, then you gotta stack some shit up at small forward and power forward and center. And at least the the power forward, the power.

SPEAKER_02

You got a bunch of power forwards that you never use, and then you overuse the center that you got, and I I just think they need to get rid of him. Johnny Broom, man.

SPEAKER_01

Give him a fucking chance. Damn! Give him a chance. Dominic Barlow was good, bro. Um another one that deserves more of a chance. Too many damn people on that fucking bench that don't play. Alright, let's let's go ahead and move on to the to the Eagles. Uh I want to start off with the what what what actually I'm gonna let Kenny go ahead and do it. Kenny, since you uh brought it up. Well, before we move on to the Eagles, uh the thing that you were talking about.

SPEAKER_04

Uh just give a moment of silence to um another great player lost too early, uh Brendan Clark. It's crazy when when when you see these type of things, because these are guys are like pro athletes. They're they're someone these are people that people look up to. So just take a moment of silence for another loss to the NBA world.

SPEAKER_05

Brendan Clark.

SPEAKER_01

Alright. Um, we're gonna yeah, we're gonna go ahead and move on now to the uh to the Eagles. Uh Jalen Hurts and he's he's he's pretty looking pretty good with the with the team. Uh he's enjoying his camp. He's enjoying his uh working with with Devontae and then they're saying Devontae throwing on some weight and stuff like that. Uh he looked a little bit like he had a little bit more muscle, but like he didn't look nothing too crazy. Uh he really liking it with the people the guys that he got, like Elijah Moore and him. Um I think it's gonna be a great season. Speaking of great season, let's talk about the schedule. Alright, we're gonna um go ahead and give y'all our prediction about the Eagles schedule. Uh from preseason all the way through the regular season. Alright. So uh Saturday, August 15th is gonna be our first preseason game at 7 o'clock. Um replay the Ravens. What do y'all think? W R L. Evermore.

SPEAKER_02

I'm taking that as I'm taking that as a as a dub.

SPEAKER_01

Uh use Patriots Saturday, August 22nd, 7 o'clock. We think what we think. I think that's a loss.

SPEAKER_04

Nah, I actually I actually think we might lose against the Ravens and win against uh the Patriots. Okay, I think I think it's a dub. I think they're both dubs. They'll have more Jalen Hurts.

SPEAKER_01

I think they're both dubs. They don't uh Patriots don't have no backup to beat us, and the Ravens they don't have I don't think they have a backup, no backups to beat us.

SPEAKER_02

I just think I think in that second game they play more um more young players trying to see more of what they what they have because they already know what they got, and that's going to be a loss.

SPEAKER_01

Who Patriots? The second game, yeah. Me personally, I think that those both dubs. I think we have a nice little depth chart. Um Bengals, Eagles, I think that's another dub.

SPEAKER_02

They don't they don't even have a good start, so I don't think they're they don't have anything, they're falling apart at the scenes.

SPEAKER_01

I don't know. Loki, I it could be an L. They could just pull some shit out the woodworks. But uh that game's on uh August 28th, Friday at 8 p.m. The uh that that bangles game. Uh the week, our first game for the regular season official game is the commanders versus the Eagles at 425 September 13th. What y'all thinking, man?

SPEAKER_02

I'm thinking like I'm thinking shit when I think commodes. I don't know, man.

SPEAKER_01

They gotta they won our card. I think I I want us to win that.

SPEAKER_02

I want us to win that first game of the year, absolutely.

SPEAKER_01

We gotta win that. We gotta win. If I'm being realistic. Nah, I ain't gonna say that. We uh, yeah, yeah. It's a dub. It's a dub. I ain't gonna say that. Titans. Titans next Sunday, September 20th, 1 p.m.

SPEAKER_02

Titans is a win. That's a dub. Titans are L. I think that's an easy L. I mean an easy win. Is that a wrong game?

SPEAKER_01

I don't have that information.

SPEAKER_04

Are we in okay? If it's here, I think it's an easy dub. For me, it's a dub either way. I just think that if it's here is more of a dub. It may be a little bit to deal with going to Tennessee.

SPEAKER_02

Tennessee ain't got to stop playing with that man Kim Ward.

SPEAKER_04

Kim Ward ain't no joke.

SPEAKER_01

He he good, but he don't have a lot of real though. And defensively they don't have a lot of things. He do got stuff around him now. And just got they just got Tate and they are they I think they got some more receivers, and they got uh they already got um what's his name? What's that receiver name? You don't know the receiver? You just sitting there looking at me.

SPEAKER_04

I don't I don't know the receivers. You said Tate, golden take?

SPEAKER_01

No, no, that's the dude they just got Calvin Calvin really, and they got Wandale, Wandale Robinson from the Giants.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, and they got KJ Osborne. They ain't they ain't really got nobody. They got KJ Oscar, and they don't got no children.

SPEAKER_01

I feel like I feel like, yeah, I mean it ain't oh it ain't nothing crazy, but I mean he was shit. He he can make shit happen, bro. I I I ain't gonna I ain't gonna count can't word out. He can make shit happen. But yeah, alright. Next game. Monday, September 28th, Eagles, Bears 8 15. We owe them. We're gonna whip their ass.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, we definitely owe them an ass for the week.

SPEAKER_01

We're gonna whip their ass. We're gonna whip their ass. Um, Rams versus Eagles. I'm gonna be a little realistic. This could be realistically our first L. So I'll be realistic and say this is an L. I don't I don't think we really lose, like in my opinion. I think we win. But this on the road or is it here? I don't know. I told you I don't have that information on my screen. I would have to get a different schedule. This is I'm getting it straight from the Eagles.

SPEAKER_02

It's here. The fourth of October at one o'clock. It's here. We probably lose that game. We beat them already like three times. Maybe even four.

SPEAKER_01

Like in a row. Yeah, I know. Um yeah, that's could that could be realistically our first L. We go we go to London. Oh my gosh, excuse me. We go to Jacksonville. We go to London. We play Jacksonville 930.

SPEAKER_03

Um Loki, I feel like that might that might low-key be a loss. I say we win that.

SPEAKER_02

We're not losing in Jacksonville, bro.

SPEAKER_04

It's I'm not talking about Jacksonville. We lose to the conditions of being being somewhere that we haven't been yet. And the the time, the time it that's gonna be a strenuous, you know, from from from here to London. That last game is is in Philly before we go to London. So the time difference and them being being prepared on on jet laggness, I think we lose that because of that. I would love for us to win that, but I think we may lose that game in Jags.

SPEAKER_01

Bro, they're coming under conditions they've never been in as well. So why would they beat us?

SPEAKER_04

We're the Jags. That's not true. The Jags, the Jags actually play in London quite often. They are one of the teams that get picked to go there quite often.

SPEAKER_01

Bro, we have been to Brazil and all of that. And we never we didn't lose.

SPEAKER_04

Brazil is right there, and that's not a big time crunch. Going to London is a whole different time crunch.

SPEAKER_01

Brazil is right where?

SPEAKER_04

What are you talking about? It's in South America. London is across seas. Okay. I mean, look, that's my opinion. If you feel like you live in the city, is not to the seas. No, it's not. It's in South America. How do you get how do you get to Brazil then? It's south of America.

SPEAKER_01

So I could drive to Brazil.

SPEAKER_04

Honestly, you probably could if you drove through Mexico. I'm wrong. Is Mexico not part of South America?

SPEAKER_01

Kenny, Kenny, Kenny, Kenny. Kenny. Let's just move on. Let's just move on. Alright. So you said that's an L? Okay. Sunday, uh, October 18th. Uh we play the Panthers, Panthers, Eagles, 1 p.m. Uh I think that's it, yeah. I think that's it. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

The Panthers?

SPEAKER_01

Yes, they're nice. They're a good team. I think we lose that.

SPEAKER_04

That's a dub.

SPEAKER_01

I think I think after everything coming back from London, just playing the Rams and the Bears back to back. Yeah, I'm gonna take that as a loss after the London thing. I don't I don't like I said, I don't really think we lose to the Rams, but I'm saying realistically that could be a loss. But okay, I say we it's a L. I mean it's a W with the Bears, L Rams. W with the Jags. We look come back or lose to the Panthers. I mean, we got a week, we got a week to chill. I mean good one. Good one. And that's a 9 30 a.m. game. So we probably come right back after the game. Nah, they're gonna enjoy themselves. They're gonna probably stay there for a little second. And then we come back another week. We play them Sunday. Um the next game is Cowboys Monday, October 26th. I don't give a fuck who's on their team. That's a W. AW team.

SPEAKER_03

Oh that's what you say, I can't. Fuck the Cowboys. Absolutely. Fuck them all. Fuck dollars, but not dollars. Fuck the Cowboys. Fuck dollars, but not dollars. Fuck the Cowboys.

SPEAKER_01

Um Eagles, I gotta scroll down. Eagles at Commanders again, 820.

SPEAKER_02

Uh that's a Sunday night game. We gotta win that game. And then right after that, the Giants.

SPEAKER_01

They finna put on Giants finna Giants finna uh we owe them one. We owe them one. Giants gonna we Giants gonna lose this one. They're gonna lose this one though. Then we're gonna have a is it a home game for us? Yeah. Giant, we're gonna lose the game. I think we win the first one.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, Giants. I think we win the first one.

SPEAKER_01

Okay, then we have to go. Then we come back and we play the Steelers. Uh they don't got nobody, do they? Nah. Who they got? They got they still got a they got an offense right now?

SPEAKER_03

No.

SPEAKER_01

Who? They still got they got they got DK Metcalf, yeah? Yeah who the Steelers? Yeah, the Steelers got a little offense. Um they got a quarterback though.

unknown

Right.

SPEAKER_04

That's the key. Yeah, they talking about Aaron Rodgers coming back.

SPEAKER_01

Um I don't know why, but Aaron Rodgers is supposed to be coming back for them. I'm not worried. I'm not too worried. Uh, all right, we got good ass defense. Um we win that game.

SPEAKER_02

Thanksgiving.

SPEAKER_01

Guys, I'm I'm just trying to be a little realistic. I think we win every single one of these games. To me, this don't sound like too bad of a schedule. The only real game I think it's a very easy, easy schedule. The only real game I see we have like a chance to beat like we have a good game with is the Panthers. And maybe the Steelers. The Rams, yeah, the Rams two as well.

SPEAKER_02

But oh I And then you got these, you got these other games right here, these three games, but we ain't we ain't get to them yet. Let's let's finish this this Thanksgiving game. Uh against against Dallas in Dallas.

SPEAKER_01

Um If the Cowboys don't beat us the first time, no, if the Cowboys don't beat if the Cowboys don't beat us the first time, they beat us. I say they beat us here. But I honestly don't think they're gonna beat us at all. Um that defense is cool. If we lose but the but that I don't I don't I don't think Dak can can just throw all over this defense. Yeah, people gotta stop like with that Dak shit, bro. He's he's not gonna do that like to good defenses. He's not just gonna throw. We got a better defense name. And we got another corner. That's what I'm saying. Once you get corners and safeties that can actually play defense, bro, he's not just gonna throw all over them. That's not how that works. But we're gonna we I gonna see. I say that's a W.

SPEAKER_04

If they beat us, if they beat us at home, we definitely beating them in the house. I don't I told you this off cam. I mean, yeah, off-cam. I told you I don't think we lose the Dallas at all this season. Just just because the way the the offense looked and then the way the defense looked. I don't think we lose the Dallas at all either way.

SPEAKER_01

I ain't gonna lie, I respect their defense, but their corners, their corners ain't as good as our corners. They just got good safeties. Exactly. And they got a good D-line and linebackers. I don't respect their corners. I don't think Reeves is as I don't know how how good Reev is, so I ain't gonna say that. But uh Daron Bland is not who he was. Kobe Kobe Durant, we'll see. That's it.

SPEAKER_04

You know, but they they when it comes to the Eagles and Dallas, bro, they Dallas be top shit against top defense. And for some reason, when they when they play the Eagles, bro, these players turn into like top five players for some reason during the game. And that's that's something that's that that's definitely happened to us a lot when we come across them. Um, but like I said, either way, I still see winning, I see us winning both games against Dallas. Um and that's just being realistic. Dallas ain't that good, bro. They not that good. They're they're an okay team, but they're not that good to the point where they beat us twice.

SPEAKER_01

They're gonna make they're gonna win the play. They're gonna go to the playoffs. They're a good team.

SPEAKER_04

And lose in the first round.

SPEAKER_02

All right. I'll wait on it. So then what's the next game? Arizona?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, we we play the Colonel's next uh four or five.

SPEAKER_02

That's a win on the six. Yes. We win that. Oh, here. Here. We still win that. It's a win either way. The Colts versus right after that.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, Colts versus.

SPEAKER_04

No, Gardner Mentre not there. He plays for the uh it don't matter.

SPEAKER_01

He's not gonna be on the team. Uh well, the Sunday, December 13th, Colts versus Eagles, one p 1 p.m. I'll say we win that.

SPEAKER_02

All those games are at home, all of them. Yeah, we win that. Um then we play Seattle. We win that too. Then we play C and Fran.

SPEAKER_01

We play the Texans next.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, no, yeah, the the Houston. I think that's in Houston.

SPEAKER_04

Uh we play CJ Stroud. He's a bum. I ain't even finna hold you. State defense is retarded.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. The CJ Stroud is not a bum. He don't have no O-line. If you were getting hit in your mouth, that's definitely a dub. I'm not gonna say that's a defense. They still have Tank Dill and they still have Nico Collins. Like, I'm not I'm not gonna.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, but he gotta he gotta be able to get to them. If he can't get to them, what is he doing?

SPEAKER_01

Hey, he got a new O-line. Uh I it's I say it's a dub, but I don't think his O line is as good as our game line. We're not just I don't I don't know if we're just gonna kick their ass, but we'll see. Um January 3rd, Eagles at 49ers. Uh that's a dub. Did you say the Seattle game? Giants at the end of the season last game, we win. I mean they they win. The Giants went up. So what about the Seattle game? We already said the Seattle game. Richard W.

SPEAKER_02

What's that a win for a year?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Okay. So you're talking about you're talking about maybe four losses total for the year.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. Bro, they don't see uh pause. Pause, pause who you see us losing to, Bob. Stop.

SPEAKER_01

Pause. I'm telling you to pause. Alright, man, so I see us. I see us going like a cool realistically, I see us going undefeated, but I'll say I got five losses.

SPEAKER_02

That's it. I got three. Possibly four. In your in your in your total, Mr. Ace.

SPEAKER_01

How many games in the season? Seventeen games?

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. Yes, sir. That's 12 and 5 for me.

SPEAKER_01

If we don't go undefeated.

SPEAKER_04

Okay. I see us going like 15 and 15. Uh you no 14 and 14 and 3 or 15 and I mean 13 and uh and four. No, 13 and 4 or 14 and 3. Okay. I said 12 and 5. You're crazy. I don't see us losing 5 games. Like, I'm so sorry to to to burst your bubble for that. We're not losing five games.

SPEAKER_02

So you gotta think you gotta think playoff, and you gotta think playoff seeding. Always not finish telling my story. Um, every year they they lose a game right before the playoffs due to the NF to the uh NBA um the seeding. They they do it every year. I'm just not ever yeah. They I'm just ever yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Okay.

unknown

All right.

SPEAKER_04

The year we went to the Super Bowl, we was number one seed, and we didn't lose no games before going into the playoffs.

SPEAKER_02

Because that was different, and the seeding was different. I said the seeding. It's all about the seeding. If you need the game, then you play the game, you win the game. If you don't need the game, then they lose that game because they don't play anybody. Right.

SPEAKER_04

Let's just say Tanner Rocky comes out and docks everyone the fuck up. He still loses.

SPEAKER_01

The game plan is to lose the game. They're gonna lose on purpose. They're not trying to win the game, they're not gonna win the game. The point is that's why they're playing the backups so it don't look like, oh, we're tinking. We're trying to make us our make ourselves lose. Oh, stop running the routes. That's good. They throw in the backups and tell them niggas, all right, y'all play, but don't win the game.

SPEAKER_02

That's just for people to stay, stay, stay uh healthy, not injured. So let's take this, let's let's take this to a whole nother side. And the side will be to the Phillies. Because we never talk about them, but since they fired their manager, bro, they're going crazy.

SPEAKER_04

They've been trying to find them crazy.

SPEAKER_02

Like, Shorbombs is crazy, done hit 20 home runs so far this year. Scheduled to get like 65, 67 home runs if he stays on this pace. The team is playing phenomenal baseball right now. Um, like seven out of three games, seven, seven wins out of three losses in the last 10 games. They're doing something crazy. How do you feel about that boost?

SPEAKER_04

I wish they would win more road games. And uh the only reason I say that is because that's that's definitely important when it comes to the playoffs for them. Um when you're going back and forth with these teams in the playoffs, the you you winning road games is definitely important. Right now, they're 10 and 11 in road games. That's not, I mean, it's not bad, but it's not good. They did, I don't know, because they I think they're like 12 and 7 at home right now in the last few games or home games. So if you can go 12 and 7 at home, you could definitely do that on the road. And I understand that the conditions be different, times be different, crowds be different, but you gotta shut these crowds down. Um, you gotta take these teams out of it before they get into it. And the Phillies don't have a problem with doing that at home. But on the road, that's that's definitely one of their problems. And I just would like to see more out of that. Uh, I think Schwarber is like leading the league right now at home runs, and that's that's tremendous for us because he's a big part of the the the rotation. So is um uh uh uh uh I can't think of his name, Harper. Harper's doing really great right now, and he's he's he he's on a trend up as well. Our pitching is looking really well since the the the manager the manager firing. Um the Phillies are doing a lot better since they fired the manager, and I just feel like going into the stretch of the Red Ox overrun that they'll they'll be a lot better than what they were starting the season.

SPEAKER_02

I just look at it like the new the new manager coming from the Yankees, you know, he's a big game guy. So on the road, right? He they he's teaching them better road wins, and they're doing that. You already know their bread and butter is Citizens Bank Park. You already know that they're gonna win at home. But the key is like you said, on the road, can you win? And here lately, since the the the firing and the new hiring, they've been winning. So, you know, kudos to him, kudos to the team. It's been a total team effort. Like you said, Harper's been doing his thing, Schwar Bombs is bombing. Um, good luck to the Phillies, man. We don't talk too much about them, and we're gonna end that one on that, but um, good luck on the Phillies, man. Fighting, absolutely.

SPEAKER_04

True, even Nick Castellano's doing great right now. So just shout out to them and and what they're doing, and I wish them the best. We we're gonna definitely talk more about them in the upcoming episodes. But let's let's let's let's move to the next section because we got more to go.

SPEAKER_00

And that's where we go to the read and react.

SPEAKER_01

It's the what?

SPEAKER_04

The write and rave. Oh shit. Okay.

SPEAKER_01

I should read and read.

SPEAKER_04

This nigga said it's the read and rave. Say, we might read a book for y'all one day, guys. One day.

SPEAKER_01

I should read and react. Uh uh, I'm gonna go ahead and I'm gonna get us started. Um my rant to my rave. Uh my rant. I'm uh in a music competition and uh I I'm I'm I'm on to the third round, guys. There's only four contestants left, is me and three other people. Uh proud of myself for coming this far. Um, just thank God I made it this far. No, this I'm I said I'm ranting. I'm raving. My bad, I'm I'm raving. Uh I'm just happy to, you know, be my musical talents are are actually good. You know what I'm saying? It's good to hear that from a crowd rather than just, you know what I'm saying, people around you that love you and stuff like that. So I uh I know my my shit. I know my shit good, and I can appreciate it more now. And I know it's like other people look at it like, damn like this nigga really got talent. So hopefully I can take it all the way home, man. Uh if and if I don't get first place, you know, second third, I still get something. And it's a it's a win for the second, third, and first place, but you know what I'm saying? Maybe two weeks two weeks from now, that's gonna be the end of it if I'm still in it. Hopefully I'm still in it. I'll let y'all know, you know, my week-to-week updates. Yeah, yeah, that's my uh rave, and I'm gonna rent now. Uh America's falling apart, man. Um a lot of stuff is going on. Uh that we not nobody even talking about, bro. Everybody just keeps going day to day. People just don't care because like they're like, oh man, yeah, that's crazy, but I got work tomorrow, you know? And like I feel that, bro. I get that, but uh stuff still go on, bro. But sometimes, bro, I really I don't know if it's just me, bro, but sometimes I just be wanting to like like save all my money up, like from one from one year working and like move to like a third world country, bro, and just buy a house, buy some land, make my own food, get a wife, and just have my kid and just have my kids and just lit there, bruh. And just you know what I'm saying, work for myself, make sure my land's straight, you know what I'm saying? Stuff like that, bro. Figure out another way to make some bread uh in in like a good way, like to where I can be just straight there and lit there, bruh. Like I just want like life is not about like the way it is, like the way how life is, like, God didn't want to even when he said we were supposed to work to have our our crops and stuff come out the ground and stuff like that, like even when he put those those things on us at the beginning when we ate the fruits, uh it it was it wasn't supposed to be like this, you know what I'm saying? We were supposed to be able to enjoy our family, to enjoy our life. It wasn't supposed to just be like sitting down the it'd be something about what people like they want to just be overly comfortable, you know what I'm saying? And it ain't supposed to be just like that, but even though we suppose he he wanted us to work for our our our stuff, like man, I'm a hardworking man, but so I ain't tripping about working, it's just a fact that like no breaks to this, like every week is constant, and it's like you can't even do nothing else throughout your day. You you gotta work so much. But I don't know, it's some it's a mental thing, man. I don't know. Uh but yeah, man. That's my rain, my rave. Uh America falling apart, dog. Uh just try to enjoy whatever free time you have. Enjoy your family and stuff while you gotta man. Um, peace, peace, love, and positivity.

SPEAKER_02

Okay, okay, okay. So today on this rank and rave, we're gonna rant about just what A said. The world is falling apart. I've said it before, communication is falling, family has fallen, everything is falling apart. It's like nobody cares, it don't have nothing to do with me. You know, your motivation is just your dollar, and that's it, and then it's how quick can you spend it on something frivolous, and then how quick you can get it, so you can spend it on something just as quick as you just did. So the value of dollar is gone, saving is gone. The whole concept of you know, for a rainy day, save it for a rainy day, that's gone. There is no light future, the future is like gone. Hence, this world, this world we live in is falling apart. I mean, what more can you say about it? Enough to rant about. So that's why I'm ranting. My wraith, family, positivity, God in your life. Have a vision, wanna do something for yourself, like my man Ace doing his thing in front of the crowd, trying to rock it. Show that man support because he's trying to support himself before he even has a family. He's trying to support his view, his values, his vision for that said family before it even happens. That's a man right there. Kenny, Deuce, he in the same boat, trying to do the same thing, trying to build himself up. And then I'm doing that same thing. That's why you got this podcast. It's all about legacy, it's all about positivity, it's all about trying to market your brand and force yourself for the world to see. Express yourself for the world to see. Excuse that. Um with that being said, man, love your family, love yourself, love your opportunities, embrace them. Understand that everything doesn't just come to you. You're blessed by that. And when you're talking about blessings, spread them, spread them around to everybody. It makes everything better in this world. And that's my rant and rave for today.

SPEAKER_04

Respectable, respectable, respectable, all respectable point of views. Um I guess I'm gonna close it out for today. I'm gonna close it out for today, and uh, I'm gonna start off with a rave. Uh to have a brother like like Ace and to have a father like Big Ken. Um family is definitely motivation. It can be it can also be um it can also hinder you as well because of how much faith you want to have in your family. And I'm I'm starting to realize through life that family is all you really need in life. In some situations. But if you if you if you if you stay true to yourself and you you you know who you are, you can create your own family and and you can make the best out of that. And nobody nobody can really stop you from doing that. But you. It's all up to you and God at the end of the day. Um I'm proud to be a son and a and a brother to both them men. So that's my rave. My rant, um I'm gonna rant about support because it's not enough of it. And people want to pick and choose who they want to support, and pick and choose who they wanna who they want to help out in life. If you see the the the guy next to you, and you know that guy, and you see the guy next to you falling, it it don't hurt to extend a hand at all. It hurts the person more when you don't. Um You can't, it's it's never enough help in the world. It takes a village to raise your child, and if you're a child of God, you're you're never done growing. So for the village to to grow up and and walk away from all the rest of the children in the village is utterly disrespectful to the saying itself and and to the man above.

SPEAKER_05

Just just find a way to continuously help people throughout life.

SPEAKER_04

It's not just a mission to help everybody, but it's definitely God's plan. And that's how you receive more blessings. And once you get your blessings, don't forget that it's more work to do to hold on to your blessings. Blessings just as fast as you get the blessings is as fast as you can lose the damn blessing.

SPEAKER_05

Don't be afraid to help people. And that's my rant.

SPEAKER_01

Also, being a good steward of what you have is very important. God wants you to be a very good uh good steward over what you have. He don't want you to just take your money and be frivolous frivolous with it. You know, whatever. Or take your blessings and do wrong with it. Great power. Great responsibility. People let us say money is power. Great responsibility comes with that. God said it. They said and that's saying I could ended it right there, but uh Kenny, do you want to end it? I know you like that.

unknown

Amen. Alright.

SPEAKER_04

I kind of want to just add on to that, bro. Um with with with more money does come great responsibility. But what if also one other thing that does come with with the money is people call to you when they have money problems because they think you the savior. I don't give a damn how much money he got, I got, he got. We're never gonna be the saviors with the money. God is always gonna be your savior at the end of the day, and that's what people need to realize. Money is a materialistic thing, and it'll never save anyone. The one and only thing that can ever save anybody is God at the end of the day. And with that being said, uh, this is the reader reading. I can't wait to see all the next episodes, uh God bless and have a great day.

SPEAKER_03

We out.
