Can hear me? Sonny actually begin fussy when you started reading that. She was like, I'm out of here, Like look rather the line give me the funk out of here? Hey, you feel me? Maybe he saw we had that sickle in one hand and she had that is bro, we fucking with it? All right? All right, we're a couple of days into the NBA season. I know I've been enjoying having games that means something back on my TV. UM, and I just wanted to bullshit with you guys about what you've been enjoying. What's exciting to you so far on the season? UM, I know we were texting about Janice had just one of those lines that we talked before the season about how unrealistically high our expectations are that he comes out and goes seventeen to twenty one, to drop forty four and twelve with two or three from three. Yes, bro, bro, you know like I put my name on it, I stamped on it. I said it's gonna be yonest. Is nine before I keep your MVP? He displayed here fucking positive shot he's playing a bit with the way he spazzed out the night before last, right that he had he had like like what forty nine and in like thirty two minutes or something like that. But then Yes, came back through with this and I was like, yes, still in business. So yeah, man, I'm still very confident that we are going to see perhaps the best version of who is currently now the best player in the NBA. This season, we talked about like voter fatigue and this is not your honest as fault, but like, as incredible as that line is, like it's like, wow, that's a crazy, crazy stat line. There is nothing Janice can do to shock me. So that's the best stat line we've seen in how long, you know what I'm saying, since since he won the championship in Game six. You know, that's fighting, right, fighting against our expectations, our expectations, and so like that's my only thing. Maybe this doesn't happen because as great as that stat line is, it's fucking your honest yest can do whatever he wants to to me in my eyes, you know what I mean. So um, yeah, but you know John has been looking so John, John's the one that that he's at the top of your list right now, just just story early storyline storylines like okay, like you know, because I was thinking, you know, John had a great year, right and I didn't know if you would replicate eat that. I know, if people come take a step forward. I thought if he stayed equal or like close to it, he'd be fine, you know what I mean. But like, I think he may have taken another to take another step, maybe even another big one, based on what we've seen, you know, early in the season. So that's shocking to me, you know what I mean. But uh but yeah, man, so I guess I will give it to job so far as like the most like damn, like Josh, really he has a has a that's not anywhere close to his peak, you know what I mean last year. I'm not surprised by this, but I have to say I have greatly enjoyed the Clippers games that I have seen, and Paul George, I think is I'm so excited to see what he does this year. I hope I like Paul George, and I hope that this is a year where it comes together at this level for the whole season. There's no injury. I hope he has a good playoffs, you know what I mean, But he he had he had a couple of shots in that last game that we're fucking nuts, were bananas, you know what I mean. I feel like Paul George is going to be one of those players that we're gonna have to explain to our kids, is how good he really was, you know what I mean. I feel like he's got that glow about where it's like, you know, he might not, you know, forge his name in the Hairsty book or whatever, but those of us who were there to win some new he was a fan motherfucker, you know what I mean. So yeah, I'm very much best than the Clippers of Courtunately, as I mentioned John walt Ruten for every Digest story, hard sale ty lose one of my favorite dudes in the league, top three coach in the in the league. So yeah, man, interested to see what the Clippers full office year. I'm interested in Kauai too, because he's thirty one, didn't play at all last year. You know, kind of heavy right now, not heavy overweight, but heavy like he looks at a bodybuilder. You know what I'm saying. Legs aren't quite utter him looks a little stiff at the moment. Even for Kauai, he was more robotic than most people. Um so I'm interesting to seeing how that happens. But I mean, bro, I'm I'm here for Clippers games, like I'm going to watch a lot of They are a fun fucking team. They're hello fucking deep. I'm not gonna sign up for the depravity, which is the fucking Lakers. You know what I mean? Life is I got a child, she already ask I don't need to run out of other get my assoup to, you know what I mean? So dog, yeah, I mean it's funny like we with Paul George part George, like we we joke a lot, you know, playoff p you know all that ship way off Pe and all that ship right pandemic P. They got a lot of that. Nick guy. Damn. But the mother snap ad. He snapped his leg in half and came back and still is one of the best players in the NBA at moments in years since, he's been top three, top five at one point. You know what I mean, He's fucking like that. Regardless of how much ship we talked. The dude is a dog on both ends of the court, you know what I mean. He's fun. It's fun to watch when you get past all the bullshit we create on Twitter, you know what I mean. So we're here for the jokes for so, but the real life is a man could play the game, you know what I mean. You got any other people or players or teams that kind of popped out to you early Luca man, did you'll see that play? Y'all think it was a pass for him, and I think it was a past. I think Luca thought it was a past for sure. That I don't see the play with this Friday yesterday, Um it was last night yet where he he went through to defense of one another friend of the cup went up and under dude off the glass and I forget who was the cutter off fashion and slammed it in. Lucas ran up. Yeah, Lucas said, he ran up to the score table right at the place, said that was a pass, not a miss. Make sure you'll mark that ship. And they didn't. They marked it down as a shot. They marked it down as a miss shot and an offensive rebound in the duck. And I believe his line to the media afterwards was I'm not missing the rim. That's a shot missed the rim. I believe that, But I also believe he has a personality to run by the scores table. Even if he did try to shoot that ship and say it was a pass on some joke ship, you know what I mean. But no, I mean, if it's Luca, ill believe what he said. I mean, I didn't do it. Undefeated teams in the NBA Celtics, Bucks, Clippers, Blazers, Pelicans, Jazz and the Wizards did jazz sucking up the money. This is not y'all, say Rudy and got it in a way to be threeting on y'all going after Victor? What the fun is going on? Joy closing out here, celebrating this ship like ship was Swede night, niggas and upstairs, like bro, calm that ship the funk down? What the funk you mean? You're playing the wrong game, baby, You know what I mean. You're playing for now, we're playing for the future. Funk all that ship, you know what I mean? I never seen any played well and get trade. He probably gonna play well and get they get him the funk up out of there, because like, no, you know what I mean, we can't see. Jackson just messaged me. I was already gonna make a note of this Jackson, but he messaged me. The Jazz and the Pelicans are playing right now. They just went to overtime, So we'll see if the bat phone to the sideline works for the Jazz, you know what I mean? Like brope shots only the Jazz had had them in there for like three weeks and they probably pat doing all that we're gonna compete ship, and they shipped his ass out Taylor, the JA players. The sucking up big buddy right now was not the forecast that saver prediction here for those people. Bro. Is there any other analogy to this mindset or behavior in human existence? I mean, like like we talked about this, I told I told you all about this. Vinnie was born in July, and so I as a sports dad, I'm thinking, Okay, I want him to turn eighteen right before his senior year of high school. Right, So I'm thinking, okay, maybe if he's a little dumber right now, and we start him in school a year later. Cool. He starts teaching himself how to read, and Shar's like, you're being a fucking idiot. We're putting him in kindergarten. He's gonna graduate when he's seventeen, right like that? No point, am I really like? No, no, no, maybe you'll like hit him in the head a couple of times, you know. I just like, like, wherever in life developmentally are you like, hold up here, buddy, we gotta be a little shittier than that. Yeah, that's that's a good question. I think this is completely unique to sports. I can't draw like any other parallel because that's how sports work is unpredictable, like right, like like you might have a kid popping when you're radar when he's spoort team, Like, yo, this kid might be a problem four years from now and then four years old, like yeah, like he had this kid really is a problem, you know I'm saying. But meanwhile, during that's, man, you've been building a competitor, you know what I mean saying. So there's really there's really no way that I think sports is unique, and that is the only place in the business sport let me see this type of ship. I think it's just so funny that you're risking all of this just for a chance, just for a chance at Wimby. You know what, I mean like trade like dude, they traded like the Jazz for instance, traded away fucking Gobert, the fishing player. You're you know what, three or four times in his career, you know what I mean, traded away the okay, you know what I mean. You know what I mean to the cast, you know, just to have a chance at winby and each thing is have the nerve to win. What do you magine how offended would you be if someone told you, hey, you've been great. You've been putting up with living in Utah, You've been giving everything for this franchise in this city. But the possibility of potential, maybe we get this guy and maybe he's as good as we think he is, is better to us than your actual tangible human body. But I'm gonna be honest, though, if they get that guy he's as good as they think he is, that guy is we gotta talk about health. Honestly. We've always said before the only guy we seen never do that is Jonnest is that size. But if that man can manage to stay on the court, they whatever they get out of him will be stellar. All right. So but for the possibility still, yeah, I'm still rooting for the Thunder and that sweepstakes. I think it would be hilarious if the Jazz have a whole major league season, you have, you know, yelling at their players to fucking your form looks too good, fuck your move your thumb back. I don't want to go to I don't want to oldor Thunder. I just the one. Yeah, I just it's not a team I'm a root for, you know what I mean. I'll watch him with the Spurs. I mean, I like Katie, I like watch I watched I like watching them play. I wouldn't call myself a fan. Katie at that time was my second favorite player in the league. That's my of of the teams of the last like fifteen years that weren't the Lakers, that's been by far the team I've rooted for the hardest. I didn't root for them because, like dude, they were really good, and at times they went to the finals and we're going against the Heat. You know, they were going against Braun getting his first chip, you know what I'm saying. So I rooted, I rooted. I rooted for them in that finals, and I'm I've always been a bron I always rooted for Brown that's the only time I didn't root for Braun in the finals. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's crazy. But I just knew one of these you like, you knew Braun was going to be back, and you knew that. I don't usually, Like I've never in my life heard Oklahoma City's playing for a championship ever about anything. I just needed it because Braun had that stinker the year before, and my soul just couldn't take him taking this sale, you know what I mean, he don't did that one maybe six, maybe seven, maybe eight ass ship, you know what I mean, told broke niggas, you don't be broke, you know what I mean, you have to take Hell and you know what I'm saying, like she wouldn't look as sweet. And I'm like, bro we need this, the program needs this with you know what I mean, I might have to log off, baby, I've been talking too much ship Dog, So now I needed that one. But I feel you on that that if they weren't if they weren't playing Broun, I would have been rooting for that team, you know what I mean. The next NBA topic, I had touches on a lot of what we were just talking about. With the Jazz and Tyler you had the perfect comment about this, but it's you know, Adam Silver has got a legitimate problem on his hands with his tanking ship, and he's got to figure it out, and there's probably not really an answer to it. But him throwing out the concept of relegation to me tells you that that man is in control of a trillion dollar sports league that has no fucking clue of what to do about this problem. Yes, yes, they're in a very unique situation because there's no other professional sport where one player can affect, you know, the landscape of the league like the NBA asked, right, So, I mean this is this is something, this is an ession that we're gonna get, you know, every five or six years. And there's just a fucking five star, no question stune on the board, you know what I mean. You know we got this ship back when fucking you know Broun was was was what was up? Like like I remember fucking who was um John Lucas like he legit got fired for hoptly like he was thinking at fucking you know, the behest of the front office. But but like I said, man, it's just some ship like it's unique to the NBA. There's no way that you can counter because when team see like, you know, a fucking generational franchise changing, you know, player on the board, and they see that they do they have no chance from hell a compete for a rank. A lot of the well just don't know it. Healnique to the sport of basketball. Bro. What was shocking was that that's the answer you have. It's absolute fucking bullshit, And that's the response you have to a serious issue is absolute bullshit. You don't have a clue of what to do. You know what I'm saying, There is no way in hell you're going to do that. You know, it's ridiculous. You're gonna tell someone who owns a billion dollar NBA franchise, Hey, you competed within the rules of our league in order to gain a competitive advantage to try and win a championship. We are gonna put you in the way in the G League. This is not the English Premier League. We don't have a Triple A for the NBA. You're gonna You're gonna put the Jazz or the Spurs in the G League because they were tanking. Are you out of your fucking mind. You're gonna take a billion dollar team and reduce its value to two hundred million dollars by taking away all their TV deals, all the stadium naming rights, Like, are you at a fucking and he talked about He talked about how billionaires live differently and the rules. He spoke in a truth that shouldn't have been spoken about how they exist by different rules. You know what I mean? And you're gonna tell that person who is operating within the rules, they will have you killed at They will literally have you killed before they let you take your team, their team out of the NBA. Bro, you are not calling the owner of the Spurs and saying, hey, buddy, we voted on it and you own a G League team. Now you will be dead in your car on your head and it'll be light word. You know what I mean? They forgot, They forgot they should make that money in your ways, you know what I mean? Hell No, that's Chauncey Billups amnesty money to them, don't They can get a hole of mantes thousand dollars and tell him you're a vampire in hand that motherfucker a steak and a hammer, Bro, You know what I mean, I'm glad we're all on the same page about that, I do, but John, you hit it exactly on the head. It is a real problem. And like, and I'm experiencing this. I'm a I'm a Lakers fan. I pointed on the season two games into the season, I got too much ship going on. Man, There's there's too much good TV on. There's too many good other teams playing basketball. My team is trying to win, and they just fucking suck. And I pointed on the season, I cannot imagine being a Spurs fan and the head coach, who who you love obviously, is joking to the media, you know, like you should don't do it, don't it, don't bet on us. We trash. I think I think the issue there with the Lakers and with the Spurs is the Spurs are probably like how the Warriors were when they were selling it out prior to Stephane. We're like, you know, hey, we're going to Spurs games. You know, oh some serious it's just something to do, you know what I'm saying exactly, you know what I mean. The Lakers, there's expectations, actually, you know what I mean. Motherfucker's a couple of a d I can I'm itching to start this season for what nigga? The fuck? You know what I mean? So I think there's a difference with that. But yes, if your point is your point and it makes a ton of sense, like that's ridiculous, Like if you're like, honest question, I'd be I would actually be happy to hear from people if you if you want to tweet at the Jenkins Jones accounter at me, like if you're a fan of one of these teams that's clearly tanking, you're a thunder fan, Like like, are you watching games this year? And if so, why are you watching the games? If the yeah, like seriously, yeah you doesn't email what is it? Jenkins and Jones at gmail dot com. Yes, okay, here we go. If the ownership of your team is telling you we aren't trying this year, we are actively trying to lose, what would your motivation be to watch that team's games? And if you're Adam Silver, that is a problem because the fact of the matter is the value of these teams is primarily tied to the name brand, which is obviously being tarnished when you're fucking tanking and becoming a running joke and your your broadcast rights, which I don't understand with all the ship out there, why anyone you're right now? People used to joke about southern California. If the Dodgers aren't good, it's still seventy four degrees outside. What's seventy four degrees on everyone's TV? There's seven thousand TV shows that bro, So you know, I really do think it's a real problem. And like I said, the desperation in just throwing the word relegation out there, which was like an absolute bullshit, and everybody that you guys kind of well John already answered this question. But but my last NBA topic is did you think we knew the Lakers are gonna be bad? Did you think the Lakers are gonna be this bad? Yeah? I did? I mean, Tyler did you? I mean It's like we discussed on the season preview UM episode. It's like, I don't think you can say we're overreacting or whatever, because this is large the same roster, Like like we discussed Lonnie Walker, Pat Ben found. They're not fucking franchise changing talents, you know what I mean? This is large the same roster since last seas for the same designers from last season to kind of roll over to this season. And I mean the biggest concern is their lack of shooting. I think they're like fucking what like two of like a hundred and four. So there's literally the worst three pot through three games or the worst three point shooting team, uh, that the NBA has had. Are you shocked by that in the last because where the exactly that was the question we had the whole time, you know, examining this roster. You can't say it's you know, got to shake off the covers and start. I'm surprised that it's been I'm like, yes, I'm surprised that it's I'm not surprised that they're I'm not surprised that it's bad. I'm surprised that it's historically bad because you know that the shooters though I've been but but like, but we've all been around NBA players. You see an NBA player who's butt naked in the gym, just no one on him. It's gonna make fifteen three pointers in a row. Right, you're playing with Bran and a d. These are open, these are butt naked looks. Just being absolutely claimed. I think Pat Bev is their best shooter percentage wise, My nigga like not not this season. Just like coming into the season. As far as the three point shooter, do we really want Pat Beev catches shoot? That's what we want, sniper? Yeah, yeah, yeah, look you mean you know what I mean, I'm cool on that. And we needed Lonnie Walker to drop damn near a thirty ball for us who have a chance a beating a Clippers team that wasn't playing all that well because I didn't have a he had a decent game, you know, Like, dog, I'm just not here for that. I'm not. I'm good on it. We're we're not. We're not part of the Russell Westbrook pylon. But I did want to read you this staff at Kirk. It's very tweeted out today. Russ is three of seventeen on jump shots this season. And also, I don't know if you saw the end of the Lakers Blazers game, but he he went for a two for one with the lead with him and shooting the ball, which is just like questionable all the way around. Kirk said he is the only player to attempt a jump shot with under thirty seconds to go and fifteen plus seconds left on the shot clock while their team was up by a possession. In the last four seasons of NBA basketball. That's tough. That's and I didn't think. He did not think it was going to be that bad, said in the post, saying about how you seen it for us? No, listen, bro, listen bro. They asked him why you know Nurk was on him so much, and he was like, well, we wanted to playoff for us as much as we could. Like he basically said, we wanted to trick rust In and Thin and he had a missnice so we left some motherfucking fly because Rush shooting his great for us first, having your ball is the best thing for us, That's what he said. You know what I mean? Did you see that? You see there's a video with eighty was about to shoot two and Dirk was gardener turned his back on like I think like you like? Like, bro, Bro, do you think I'm turning my television all you think I'm gonna sit my daughter down, not looking her beautiful eyes to fucking watch this fucking dastardly, this fucking shitty, musty ass version of hoops? The fuck you mean? Bro? I know I'm not. They gotta Bro, they gotta win seven straight before I watch another Leggers game. Bro, John, when the Lakers are like oh and eight, I think they're gonna start like oh and seven. The first seven games are absolutely brutal to the Blazers, Like, come on, when the stock is that the worst it can be. We need to get nosebleed tickets. You bring so many, all bring Vinnie and Maya, and then we can say that they saw Braun. We'll walk around the concourse. I'll buy sell me a baby jersey. You know what I need to do. Bro. We need to do it when they're playing the Clippers because it'll be cheaper and it'll actually get to see some good basketball. So this is good basketball, and this is Brian. Okay, we're gonna say that everybody else, so you know, we act like that didn't even exist. You feel me, But Dog, I'm telling you, dog, it's gonna be up lead And I was. I said, if a d is good, I don't I seven't seen I haven't seen him. I don't see me in some Blazers. But he was old. He was good the first game, second game, whatever, you know what I mean? Game three. I don't know how he played today. I saw the join off the backboard. Whatever. They still you know, I think they still are playing team with a good a D, like a good healthy a D all year like, yeah, it's just not it ain't it, bro It never was it so um, just like John Is can't surprise me how good he is, these Lakers can't surprise me on how much they fucking stink boom.

I got one football talpic topic and it's not really even a football topic, but ESPN College game. They just announced they're going to Jackson State on Saturday next weekends for their big show. That's coolest. I'm sure they've never been to an HBCU game, but um, that's gotta be a fun historic moment. I might actually wake up and turn that ship. I might tap it that experience. It's a different world, literally, a fucking different world. Bro Erg is so different. I told you I stayed a you know, I stayed in Canado. Why the fun woul be over here when this is over here? You feel me. I even went to hang in Oakwood, which is it's not HBC, but it's a predominantly black you know what I'm saying. School and the Huntsville it's like the I think it's the biggest seven day have been in school on the planet or whatever. But I didn't know you. I have Owkwood stories for you from our Oakwood had them, Okay, all they also had. They also had the kind of administration that is why your mom got out of HBC. They did, They did, they did. But I wouldn't worry about Bubble. I was trying to trying to sneak out of the dorms late at night without get caught. She was sweet over there, dog. I just know our cousins, Charle's little cousins all went to Oakwood because their families uh uh Seventh Day Avenues. And I think in the five years they were there, I think they changed presidents like three times. Financial ship We're like god, she it was so show. I remember, like this is such a weird. It was such a weird school where like people wouldn't make the basketball team and would quit so they could play in their murals because the innermural games would be more popping than the actual basketball games. Bro. And then they had like midnight run. I pull up there at midnight and be whooping, like twelve to two midnight runs. The whole city be out there, dog like. It was a very interesting place. But ye know, I remember, I remember like going to the intermural games was more popping in most people's games period, like a m whatever, but dog stage BCU energy is just totally different. But whenever you have a bunch of niggas in okay, bro, fun shell be had we enjoyed ourselves. Um, all right, that's that's it for the sports time too. And I'm interested in how those sports signs. The signs will be crazy, and I'm interests how the sportscast was moved. They better ask someone at that table who could read those signs. Right, it's gonna be a fucking lead. Corso is gonna be up there like me when we did the Solomon, Missouri Twitter thread, like let me make sure I don't have um you think you is like line for myself to read out here. You you know, you know Guardian White Mike like a motherfucker. That's half the reason I want to watch it, you know what I mean. It's like, who looks like they're really uncomfortable on that table right here? It's all right, Uh this topic, Um, I'm excited to talk about this. Tyler is coming and this on this a couple of times. We all know, the three of us know you gotta hide your heart from Twitter. We spent a fair amount of time on Twitter. Y'all. Don't tweet pictures of the fam and stuff, which I understand. I do put my kids up there, and you know, dare people I guess to be stupid, which knock on. That's because you didn't make the wild mistake of saying of cracking a joke about someone's favorite basketball player or favorite basketball team eight years ago. And I did. But I had like two thousand followers at that time, and they all knew my kids. So I didn't have no Twitter any means until he started doing this ship for a living. Like I was out here talking about food and ship chilling and nigga got a basketball Twitter. Nigga, I'm there, I'm getting I'm I gotta fight every week and a half, you know what I mean. I remember when you first got on y'allhoo doing a basketball conversation for them, and I was like, first of all, congrats, and then second I was like, second of all, right, from the hell you know exactly? You didn't have any crazy two sixteen happening all that. I talked my little ship, but for the most part I was chilling. I had like thirty k followers already and there was no issue. As soon as I came representing some organization talking about basketball, nigga got totally different. You feel me, so, yeah, that's that's different. There's something that you got behind you too, man. So like that person I'm fighting in person, I'm not worried about anyone in you got. You got a bunch of room, said, I ain't playing about them two kids. You feel me? So good for you, you know not a couple of times it would be funny someone talks reckless on Twitter to just add there's a couple of people I would at just literally not say anything under it except for the person's Twitter name. Click on that ship and revise your sentence. We edit these things now, go back and rethink it, you know. I mean, but your wheels hearing me move, move smooth about to have It's not gonna be disabled, turn pulling up on you. It ain't what you think it is. Be cool, all right. Anyway, We've learned this lesson over and over again, and yet at Little I didn't even know that was her at name Little Plant Mommy woke up and tweeted that, but I'm main pop. My husband and I wake up every morning and bring our coffee out to our garden and sit and talk for hours every morning. It never gets old and we never run out of things to talk about. Love him so much. And she called hell for that. Bro. They a miserable. Twitter went crazy over that, bro Like, like I told you in the group check, we knew that Twitter went too far. With the prevailing opinion was y'all are going way too hard on this well off white wool. When a well off white wool becomes a bigger sympathy, you know, it drew some unbelievable fucking lines. Yeah, I mean, and then my whole thing is bro like like she was just saying, Yo, I really love this routine I have with with someone who I really love it was like, more couples should do this, Like if she doesn't like that, yeah, I have to ask about how how a lot of couples don't have this time. She didn't say one thing. There's nothing in the second person in that tweet and just just me and this man that I love so much, and wow, we really connected and love each other every day and Twitter and fucking miss the lass. Hell after that, it is just had with that ship. What's crazy is? I saw it? I thought all that sweet, and then didn't look again until y'all sent the group sent it to the group chat. Your your tweet, Tyler, and I'm like, and I went to your tweet and saw like all the I'm like, nigga, what like? You found a way to take that? First of all, you took it personally. It had nothing to do with you. It was all about her, you know what I mean, and how much she loves her husband. You weren't. You took somebody else's happiness. You took that as a personal assault against you. You know what I mean. We're waiting for six years and see how you feel. God damn, nigga, you know I mean, what the fun is happiness done to you? Nigga, Jesus christ Man, This Twitter is just wild g Twitter is a wild place man, crazy. Yeah, but yeah, that's why we don't put like let me post a happy family picture, you know, all the time, and I will forever, even if people are miserable about some like hey, like I've made it through some ship in my life and you can too, or like hey we can't break generational curses or whatever. You know, fucking fuck Twitter, fuck miserable Twitter. They asked that woman, what time do you clocking? Why what do you do? Why it's a possibility in your life. She's got more free time, your motherfucker like, you don't need to ask me her fucking w two. And she actually explained, like this is what I do. By you know what I'm saying. She should ain't mute the motherfucker me and go back to your happiness, don't don't it. It might have been time to get classes though that when it fills me. I of course you would have, Mike came clucking. Would I want to broke bitch? That ain't my fault? Right, that's crazy? I would Yeah, I would have had Yeah, yes, that would have had to have occurred. Uh, there was a There was a tweet from Vinnie Thomas, who I like a lot of twitters calling the motherfucker broken not not not not of course not you ain't a bully, but you like you're not to reminded nigger. Well, I've also never seen him. I've also never seen you. Got war on the right exactly exactly, exactly right, right right, seen Tyler calling motherfucker broke for being broke. He's calling him broke for being broke of spirit. He called that you were a broke bitch because you was like like a bitch, not because you was You know what I mean. If you call somebody broke, they're broke. That's the ass whole thing. If you're calling that because it's being a bitch, they earned it, you know. Be So there we go. Vinny Thomas tweeted, I will never tire of this website. Someone will say I love spending time with my husband, and the replies are all like, wow, that's great for you. But I am allergic to be y'all know, this website is nowhere near like real life, you know what I mean? I think at one point I used to like think it was like maybe the world I live in is whatever. And then you know what I'm saying, it was opening my eyes of things. I think it's the exact opposite of that. Now, you know what I mean. I think this world is very different from the real world that exists. You know what I mean. It's just it's just it's an It's an odd, odd space. Agreed. Speaking of odd spaces, um, the world discovered something that I have known for ten years last week, which is that London is home to an unmanageable, enormous set of wild predatory foxes. I had listen, bro, like, I feel like in like cartoons and Mo's whatever like foxes, or is like British and ship and up in the out like finally understand. I had no idea there was a fox crisis in fucking London. Like that is madness, bro apex predator canine crisis in your fucking city dog. That's why it was up the image you retweeted of like three foxes just posted up and one just posted plane in the middle of the street. That city dog that was home in New York. She had propped up. You know what I'm saying, hind parts in the air, I'm at the crib fox head in the middle of the street. You're about to get dome because he's at the crib. This is work, you know what I'm saying? Like fox anybody has ever said that? In light head bro ship oh man, I sat y'all the picture of the foxes that were at the bus stop that we we were at for the place we were staying when we were we were in London in and Uh. I mentioned to j J, my writing partner at the five six too, that we've been talking about it, and he was cracking up and he was like, do you remember what the ladies who were staying with us said? And I said no. They were from the north of England where the foxes actually were worse than London because they will come up and like try and take your your kids or your fucking pets and ship. Oh yeah, they're like they're very aggretive. You right, but you can't even had it on and you got you got a fox stick. You give him that boom boom, give him a boom boom, you give him that boom boom stick stick. But these two ladies that were staying at the same house as us, they were you know, they were British ladies from the north of England. So they were kind of like probably like the equivalent of like Minnesotan's in America. Very sweet old ladies, just so excited they were. They were in London because they were volunteering at the Olympics. They spent money. They're both retired teachers, they spent money to go down. They're like, I just want to be part of the Olympic experience. So they're terrified of foxes because of their experiences in this smaller town where they live in North London. So we would literally like walk with them to the bus stop and back, just so that they had like a guard, right. And one of the ladies, and I do not remember their names because it was ten years ago and I've had a life since then, she said about the foxes, and I quote, oh, they're horrible. Oh they're horrible. The tales. It's like Rigamotis tales. Oh, the horrible little things. And we were at J J and I for fucking five years after that. We would just look at if we were covering a game, and so the dumb happened, I just looked at him and go homorable. But they were of the foxes. It was like the fucking it was like a folk tale come to life, you know what I mean, Like they really are in London. It's like some people were telling Tyler on Twitter, it's like coyotes in southern California. It's nothing like coyotes in southern California. Kyotes, don't run up on your picnic in the middle of the fucking day, bro, you have to be sneaky, like Foxes said the middle to snatching your kid and then peel you know what I mean. Crazy? Um Okay, last topic for the day. This is probably not super interesting to listeners, sorry, but Tyler and I were kind of tripping out on this. Um. I don't know if everyone is aware that the Internet that we're all using is connected globally via a series of cables that are literally laid across the oceans on planet Earth. And I feel like that's something everyone should be aware of that. But how did already don't signals to satellites and spaces and ship I did not know. It was goddamn big gas, fucking big rag the fucking you know, oil take lines or whatever out in the middle ocean, laying down sucking fiber optic cables. I saw the imagery that you showed the like where they flow, is there like footage of them actually the actual process because the ocean is so deep, you know what I mean, Like this is a video how this is a photo of how thick they are, Like they look like oil. It's like the thickness of like an oil drum um. And yes, I mean, so they lay it. It doesn't go through like the Mariannae Trench or something, you know what I mean, So they sort of like routed around. But that's why if you look at it the earth, it looks like a like it's yarned up or something, because it's just like it goes down the coast of North America and then across to Hawaii, but like not through like the deepest parts of the ocean. But they did say we're in the parts where it's laid, where it's like the deepest. They literally don't even like they don't like bury it in the ground at all. They just drop it. It's there's there's very few things like when as the get the water gets deeper, there's very few things that can go that deep in the water. Right, So, like i'd assuming asked the point where they just would drop it. They can't, you know what I mean, that's when it starts, you just drop it off the back of the They just drop it off the back of the Yeah. So so I mean, and what's gonna funk with it? You know what I mean? Like, but also what if it funks up? That seems kind of jankie, you know what I mean, Like that's not just kind of jakie as fun like you just throw like like you're just running cables across the Pacific Ocean. When I found out we got what we fucking power grids on the whole North American contiment, Like yes, yes, it's it's like that. Likes. As far as technologically advanced as you might think, we all, we are still fucking in fucking ninety forward a lot of ship bro Here's the headline from from from the the Telegraph in London almost sixties. Submarine cables link Britain to the rest of the world, and it is becoming increasingly clear how vulnerable to sabotage they are. And this is because I've been reading about this ship that was one of the things that apparently Russia was thinking about doing. They were thinking about cutting Europe off from the rest of the world by just blowing up the cables that they're plugged into the fucking Internet with. Bro. Yeah, yeah, if you want to fucking you know, isolate some whole fucking continent away from you know, information and ship had just go to the middle of something and blow some shut up. It's crazy. Yeah. I don't know. I didn't need anything else to be worried about, but the fact that, like you could unclug some ship and take the Internet down, it's pretty fucking wild. Bro. The more we learned about it, how much is going on, The more we realized we're just really hanging on about motherfucker straight out here, dog right, We really could just wake up one and he fucking not free and decided to fucking destroy the Internet for our whole continent. Honestly, you know, I'm saying we have no idea. I'm not against it. It would be a tough hit for the podcast. Right, is that in our contract we get paid even if the Internet ceases to exist. I don't know. I got a lot of ship on the internet, man, All my money is is on the Internet. I've been watching the ship. I've been We're watching them watching a lot of weird ship lately. Bro. I'm watching like people on a hundred mile hikes and like living off the grid and ship. Bro, I'm gonna grow scratchy. It's coming a free thinker, Bro, I might, but y'all gonna keep me. Y'all gonna keep pray for me. You know, I think y'all sounds like you're eight. You're on page eight to the YouTube, sir, you get to page thirty seven, you're a racist. I'm gonna page three at least, I'll say that. And I told you ain't shit good after page two, so pray for your boy, bab. But you say an internet now, and for some reason, I ain't feeling like it might not be too bad of an idea. Very forevoting. All right, well, uh my wife and I are about to go watch. We're about to go stream on our fucking four k HBO Max stream the House of Dragons finale. So well, hopefully everyone waits till Monday morning, uh, you know, to take down the internet. We're out thereternet. That's just a big mirror baby. All right, y'all, we will be back on Thursday to talk. Hopefully we can get the Gridiron Gals back. We're working on that scheduling. Uh, and we'll be doing our recap season finale of House and Dragons. I can't wait to go watch that ship. Right my god, I just got on the horny. Oh my god. Alright, oh, alright, y'all, we'll catch all the boon neverthing the volume
