Man, yeah, I have to say this week has been, like, pretty well. I feel like an adult this week. I bought my first pair of Birkenstocks.

Chicago's Weather: A Harry Potter Comparison

Man, that went well. I can't even get my words. It's not even between your toes, man. It'll go straight through you. Oh, man. It's crazy. It's like how Voldemort went through Harry in that first movie. That's how the wind gets you, man. I promise you, every single time. It's too cold. What a reference, bro. I promise you. How many times have you seen that movie, bro?

Jared's Move and Motivation
00:01:46
Speaker

J Cole's Diss Track Response: Respect and Conflict
00:02:12
Speaker
But yeah, we gonna go ahead and start with this first, man. This one is a relatively new based off the past couple of days, man. So we finally got the J co-response with seven minute drill. And then as of today, we got the apology. So man, I'm gonna start with you, man. What do you think about this whole situation with this, man? Man.
00:02:42
Speaker
First and foremost, respect to the big three. K. Dot, J. Cole, Drake, respect to all of them. I am so conflicted about all of this because I remember in the last podcast I was literally talking about, I want J. Cole to come with a crazy disc to just come straight to wreck Adam. And literally, it was so subtle with the stuff that he said mentioning his discography.
00:03:10
Speaker
But arguably, the stuff that we said about a discography being so-so is the same thing that people say about J. Cole, which is crazy. But we're going to let it ride, whatever it is. But then, excuse me, Dreamville or Dreamville has happened on Sunday. And then J. Cole admits an apology saying that he felt conflicted inwardly and just
00:03:37
Speaker
he didn't even want to do that. And like, honestly, from what I got from all of that, it's just like, you know, he didn't, he, it wasn't no real beef to begin with, but also it's just like, check out this, you bro. And you answer back. You know what I mean? If you're going to, if you're going to diss somebody, you got to stand on that. It's like, you know, stand on it. You, you shot, you, yeah, you shot at me first. So I shot back honestly, but like I understand, like I see both sides of it. I understand where he's coming from. If you conflict it inside yourself, like by all means get,
00:04:07
Speaker
whatever negativity out your system and do what you gotta do. But also, man, it's just like, bro, you didn't even have to say nothing if you really didn't want to. Because now you got all these people on social media talking about, oh, he's definitely stamped as number three, this and that. He can't ever be the greatest rapper. And I mean, it's just so interesting just because the debates go on about if you claim to be the best rapper, you shooting this and that, you claiming this and that.
00:04:35
Speaker
you got to stand on that. The weakest link falls at that point. And not saying that Nicole is the weakest link, but just what he did is just like, I don't know, it's a cold finish. It's so like, why'd you do that, man? Nah, man. I guess that's my whole take on it.
00:05:03
Speaker
I'm so disappointed in him. Like seriously, man, like you can't push a nigga or hit him in the face. And then as soon as he's about to swing back, be like, nah, never mind. Like it don't work like that.
00:05:19
Speaker
Like, you didn't already say your dish, just live with it. Like, why are you so conflicted? Hold on, by the way, I got to stop myself. Kendrick Tappepa Butterfly has poisoned my mind, because whenever somebody says conflicted now, I just think of his own. I remember you as conflicted. Shout out to the album. That's facts, man. But I don't like
00:05:50
Speaker
I don't like the way this nigga
Hip-Hop Diss Tracks: History and Impact
00:05:51
Speaker
moves, man. I don't like the way J. Cole moves, bro. Like, at this point, how can you not agree that Drake is more of a student of the game than J. Cole? Because Drake, as much as his bars are kind of weak sometimes, he revolutionized the disc game, bro. With back to back,
00:06:11
Speaker
The way he went in big bro, he revolutionized the disc game. He revolutionized it, bro. So you can't drop a disc and be like, hey, man, I don't really got a problem with you. I'm sorry. Nah, bro. Once you release that disc, you better come out with another one back to back. I mean, shit.
00:06:36
Speaker
Steph, you're going to have to tell you right now too, man. He might have to go to detention without revolutionizing this game. He came all the way from Ice Cube. At this point, J. Cole is the most controversial figure to me of the big three. This tops everything that any of the other three have ever done in terms of like, nah, man, I'm sorry, bro. Just give the fans something to enjoy. Don't take the shit back.
00:07:08
Speaker
What are you doing?
Allegations Against Diddy and Industry Power Abuse
00:07:13
Speaker
Here's what I'm going to say. OK, first up, Steph, before I got I got to tell you this. No, hell no. Back to back as well. This is all Tom. He is revolutionized. I like back to back.
00:07:28
Speaker
and the one weak ass diss. Man, that dude did a song with him years later. I'm like, man, I hear what that shit, man. You get embodied by a singer nigga is like one of the hardest lines for me. It's a hard bar. That's crazy. We went this far from no Vaseline, ether, and hit him up, and as well as who shot you. We about to say that's a diss too, even though Biggie didn't want to admit it. We already know who asked what it was.
00:07:56
Speaker
But still controversial, yeah. Still controversial. And we got some more like between like, who the saha? There's a couple other people I could think of, man. Drake the Oil. I don't even think it's barely scoring the top 10, man. Come on. No. Revolution lives at what? You was a ghost fighter? People love that song, Jared. Come on, man. Come on. Get out of here. Oh, man. Only because your family almost died right there.
00:08:26
Speaker
Okay, going on with the J. Cole situation, man. I'm all for brotherhood, man, where we have this camaraderie amongst each other. But in this case, J. Cole, what the absolute hell were you thinking with this apology, man? No.
00:08:48
Speaker
I get it where this whole thing works, because J. Cole, in a sense, the dude's a reserved person. He's a reserved person, so I wasn't expecting the reply in itself.
00:08:58
Speaker
But as far as rap battles go in the history of hip-hop, as long as it's going back, no, when you have your hip-hop battles, you don't apologize for the shit. You keep going with it, man. You stick by it. You stand on it. I hate to use something said by King, but you stand on your business, man. You got to do that. And especially, too, the reply that he had for Kendrick was decent. I know some people, we all know somebody that don't necessarily agree it was decent.
00:09:28
Speaker
You know who he is. But the thing is, though, is that it had the punch. Probably not the punch that a lot of people were expecting. But at least my whole thing is, at that point, just agree with Steph on this, stick with it and give it. That's what the fans are wanting, man. We wanted to see two of the greatest going at it. And the thing is, too, we know that at least the two top people right now, with J. Cole and Kendrick,
00:09:52
Speaker
I hope we've learned our lessons with Tupac and Biggie, you know, where we don't take it too far. And the thing is, I don't think there's those type of people that would take it to that level of letting themselves be a take it too far. But my whole thing is this, if we're not going to get the collab album, give us the battle, man. Give us the battle.
Kat Williams Interview: Unsettling and Humorous
00:10:11
Speaker
Cause we know we ain't getting that, we can't get the collab now. So give us that at least. Let us enjoy the fact that we're getting more music from you two. Cause man, the mic delete later too, at first I didn't even know it was an album. And the thing is, I listened to it later, I actually liked it. It was pretty- It's well put together, honestly. It's a well-composed album, man. It's solid, yeah.
00:10:34
Speaker
Yeah, so the thing is, it's just like, man, you know, I am disappointed just like you guys, where it's just like, man, you don't go about having a response like that, and then you take it back. Because it, I'm sorry, it makes you like a punk. I'm sorry. And I'm not saying there's got to be violence between the two, but it's like, as far as rap battles are concerned, no, you don't do that, man. You don't do it. And it's kind of what it says, like, hell, man.
00:11:04
Speaker
I love Colby. It's a 1A1B situation for me between them two. Yeah. And it's just like. Vegeta and Goku. Yeah. Yeah. And personally for me, you know, I prefer kids just a little bit more just because the relatability factor just a little bit. But man, Cole's right there.
00:11:22
Speaker
No, this ain't the time to be philosophical. This ain't the time to, you know, be reserved. No, you stick by the shit, man. And just... You go for broke. Deal with the blows with Kendrick. Because the thing is, you still got your fans that are going to support you no matter what. You still got... Yeah. So that's why I'm saying, like, now with this, it's just like, man, shit, God makes it look like a punk. Dude. So my question is, like, is there any coming back from
00:11:48
Speaker
from what he's done. Is there anything that he can do? Yeah. Nah, cause you can't be like, you can't drop another disc after this, like. It just makes me feel like hip hop is like a bit ruined a little bit. Yes. Drake, please save us bro. Drop a disc right now. Wait. Drake, drop your disc bro. Come on, stop playing.
00:12:12
Speaker
He wait for his ghost writers, man. We know this. Man, hey, he ain't got enough of the material yet. So, hey, we got Gil Mayacombe, where we drive by. Next time we do another episode, Baywood errors. So, hey, Friday, next time we do another episode. He's not worried about no, he's not worried about nothing, man. Yeah, that nigga scared, but hey. And Metro, and Future is dropping the album on Friday.
00:12:41
Speaker
which is another thing. Metro Woman and Future are dropping the album this upcoming Friday. So I feel like it's just stay tuned, man. I feel like what's going to happen is Kendra's going to drop a song that just solidifies his platform. And then it's going to crumble everything that's ever been said and done between the three. So it's just, I don't know. It's weird. And I'm a person who leans more towards cold. But I just see it happening, man. So I'm just like, man. It's crazy.
00:13:11
Speaker
It's just so weird. I feel like hip hop is ruined.
Women’s Basketball: Kayla Clark and South Carolina
00:13:17
Speaker
What's that quote? Don't meet your heroes or whatever. But it's just hard to believe he do something like that. And like I said, I get it. I understand it. If you feel conflicted, do what you got to do. But man,
00:13:31
Speaker
You didn't have to do that, bro. Yeah. He's been talking for three years about how he's the best rapper. And then the moment somebody come at you, you're like, never mind, man. That's so whack. And he didn't really even come at him. Yeah. Not really. And that was the thing to her up just like, oh, man, come on, man. This is a tall word, man.
00:13:51
Speaker
You stick with it, man. We know you're the one, the best of our generation. There's no doubt about that. But it's just like, man, try to stab yourself as that solidified, like, nah, I'm the best. I'm the real Muhammad Ali, as he said. Hey, there's a big three by Muhammad Ali. Muhammad Ali didn't stand down for nobody, man.
00:14:17
Speaker
Oh, you're crazy. I don't know. And I've been seeing people like say like, they want to submit a new application for the big three. Like they feel like Big Sean should be up in there or like big crit. Big Sean dropped a song about the big three and nobody even cared.
00:14:44
Speaker
Like he's just... What's bad about it is Big Sean feels like the little brother. We're going to call a little big brother, man. Because I think it's just that dude is... He gets disrespected too much. Man, he's legit, but he always gets overshadowed. And I feel like Kendrick always ends up dropping this over as soon as he does. I don't know if it's intentional, but it just always just feels... It has to be, because I feel like Jay Z does the same thing when Nas drops.
00:15:11
Speaker
Oh, like low key. Like, it's just like, I'm going to try to stay up above you. It's just weird, man. Hip hop is in a weird state, bro. Speaking of weird states, let's segue into another sicko weirdo. Yeah. Known as the Diddler. The Diddler. Diddler's this. Dude, so what's been going on recently? It's been all over the news. Ditties.
00:15:40
Speaker
Diddy had two houses raided, and he had, I think, warrants on him for like, or search warrants for like, sexual trafficking and all this other stuff. Now, he didn't have all these allegations already, so Cassie came out and said that she was sexually abused and like, trafficked and all this other stuff by Diddy, and was gonna file a lawsuit, and then the next day, that man paid her her price. So I just wanna, I wanna ask y'all, man, like,
00:16:09
Speaker
How do y'all feel about this situation? Because I think it's just crazy. I personally think it's the chickens coming home to roost, man. It's the chickens coming home to roost, man. Because the thing is that
00:16:23
Speaker
My whole thing is that there's been too many stories. Of course, you have the stories about the parties and stuff like that, but there's too many people that have said too much stuff about you where at this point, you don't look too innocent. I know they say you're innocent to approve and guilty, but the thing is that
00:16:45
Speaker
out of two or more witnesses of the fact established. So the thing is, you got many people that are saying the same thing about where you got younger kids around you. You got younger people around you. And man, like, be ditty. What? Like, it is. Being fifties at this point, it's like, that is already right.
00:17:04
Speaker
Yeah, it's just like, my whole thing is that with that, and then along top of where a lot of these artists that are associated with Hill or people that have been around him have mentioned there's these things going on. And then I think definitely the casting situation. To me, whenever you have a settlement situation, once you're accused of something, to me, that's a sign of guilt right there because it's just,
00:17:32
Speaker
You don't want your parents or somebody so that they don't spill the beans on you. And the thing is, that's always rubbed me the wrong way when you hear a situation like that. I can never see somebody and it's a light after that. Yeah. I think my thing with that whole thing was seeing his kids on the front lawn handcuffed up. When the authorities was raiding the houses, I'm just like, when it gets to that point where your own kids are detained and told, look, you got to sit here.
00:18:01
Speaker
search the whole place like, it's a wrap. You need an answer for what's been going on. We need, we need a public statement. We need you to get your, get your behind.
00:18:14
Speaker
down here and answer some stuff, at least for the people. It ain't no way. Especially on the predation charges. That's the one thing too, where it's just with men and women. It's the thing where he's been a predator for both genders. It's just like, man, it seems like he just felt like he had no limits to what he could do. He probably had that.
00:18:38
Speaker
mindset for the longest that, Hey, I can't be touched. You know, there's always stories too about, you know, where he's had this power in the industry where, you know, you know, people end up dead. You talk too much about being ditty. So, you know, when you have that type of power, that's what is having to develop his mindset. You can't do no wrong or you have that power over people that if you say anything, something can happen to you. Pretty much man. And like, a and the famous words of Kat Williams.
00:19:08
Speaker
Did he go on a party and you gotta tell him no. You gotta tell him no. He said that. Have you not seen that interview? I haven't seen all of it. It's long. I've seen bits and pieces, but I haven't seen. Every single minute of that interview, pure gold. Every single minute. That dude is so funny, bro.
00:19:33
Speaker
That needs to be studied. That interview makes me uncomfortable because he has manic energy in it, and it just makes me really anxious. I'm like, did he smoke some crack before this interview or something? Like, what's happening to this man? I think... Go ahead, Jay. No, I was going to say, here's the thing with Cat Williams. Like, there is like a kind of a... Just a word I want to say. Like, there is kind of like a...
00:20:03
Speaker
think of the world where everyone they kind of have the same mindset about a person so it kind of you kind of end up like having this set mindset kind of hive mindset I guess that's the world looking for where you know this idea is portrayed about somebody and everybody kind of follows along but Kevin Williams played plainly that you know he's he's never done any drugs because the thing is is that um
00:20:26
Speaker
When he was growing up, he lived by himself and he saw other people that lost their livelihoods due to that, so he stayed away from himself. I can't trust it myself. I just go based off of Bob's, bro. That's how I'm going off of him. And he has the Bob's kind of like somebody that smokes with crack. I don't know. He very well may have never done drugs, but anybody who's doing drugs is going to tell you that they never touched a drug.
00:20:57
Speaker
That's what it is. I mean, as honest as that man was in that interview about a lot of stuff, I don't think he would lie about that. And then, too, to that point, he kept rubbing on his legs. I think that man is sensory. I think he's very sensory. And you know what that's attached to. So I don't know. I'll kind of give him the benefit of the doubt with all that. Yeah, yeah, for sure. I think we all on the spectrum somehow.
00:21:25
Speaker
Yeah. I mean, he's a Jesus craft. So if he's on the spectrum, who cares? I mean, he didn't want 3000 pages. Was he? What do you say 3000 books or something? It's no way that's real. It's no way that's real, bro. What the hell was asked about it? Because that that was what I was like, okay, like, how long were the books if they could that be? All the books because yeah, it was reading the sources too. He was reading them the sources and well,
00:21:51
Speaker
Cause like they were like very like short books are like maybe like 25, 30 pays all did. Maybe I can, you know, give a bit for that baby. Cause you know, I can read like about 20 pays a night, you know, and I'm, you know, but like, yeah, like that amount like, yeah. If you can read that most of the year, I like reading this book. That's a lot.
00:22:20
Speaker
Well, I read five pages now. You know what I mean? So, like, more cartoons. Yeah. 3,000 books. That's crazy. You remember we used to get them Pizza Hut vouchers when we used to read, like, a certain amount of books? Yeah. Well, everything back on us. That's crazy, though. Like, boy, hey, man, we'll get you some pizza if you read, man. Like, hey, we didn't want to read for shit. Right. Like, if you don't become illiterate,
00:22:49
Speaker
It gets you a small pizza. That's crazy. Oh, man. That's a crazy concept, bro. That's it. I used to collect a lot of them. I used to collect a lot of them, boys, boy. I'm not kidding you. I probably read more text out of the Pokemon game than I've read out of a book in my lifestyle. Hey, guy become a Pokemon bastard, man. Hey, look at that. That's crazy. I rock with Pokemon too, bro.
00:23:19
Speaker
Oh, Steph, what was your opinion, I guess, on the topic, too? We never got a chance to ask you. Yeah. It's like the Jeffrey Epstein thing, right? It's just, you know, yeah, people, this is making a lot of news. I think this is the most popular news story right now. But it just doesn't interest me because it's just like, there's a lot of psychopaths out there, man. Like, yeah, especially when you have that amount of power and influence, I don't think a lot of
00:23:47
Speaker
normal people can just imagine what it's like living on a day-to-day life. That's not trying to give him any excuses. It's just like, man, it's a bunch of people out here doing the same thing. They just not peed at it.
00:23:59
Speaker
I guess, too, on that regard, too, like, you know, with the Ash Nighter situation, you know, the Quiet on Set documentary, you know, I think that kind of works what Seth's saying, where you got a lot of people that are in higher places, you know, where they got this power over people, predators. And the thing is, too, is that they use this money to have this sense of power over people. And so I do a group of stuff where there's a lot more people in
00:24:28
Speaker
the industry, both in Hollywood and the music industry that are just like Pete Diddy and Dash Snyder. There are a lot of them. And the thing is, is that because of the fear of retaliation, of course you have your career, but then also too, they have the power where they can hire people to assassinate you if they wanted to. And the thing is, there'd be no strings attached. So my thing is, is that all those things,
00:24:57
Speaker
It's definitely not. It's not a shocker to me that a lot of people don't know as much about because of not a lot is said because of that fear. But then also to point out to there are a lot of people that do have that power in a sense. So it shouldn't be shocking once people do find out 100 percent. Definitely agree. Niggas are sickos, man. Yeah.
College Sports vs. Professional Leagues: Purity and Appeal
00:25:22
Speaker
And they got an answer for that. And they don't mess with kids, bro. And the thing is, too, whether or not if it's it, it's like they're going to have to answer eventually. Oh, 100%. 100%.
00:25:37
Speaker
But, but I guess we'll go ahead and move on from that and we'll go. We'll move into. So this is the final topic. So this is dealt with Caitlin Clark and the legacy based after the loss that they Iowa had against South Carolina so.
00:25:57
Speaker
Yes, sir. So yeah, so first off, I want to I want to give a lot of process out Carolina and to Don man, because I do believe that there hasn't been enough focus on that. You know, I get it. Kayla Clark is an exceptional player. But the fact though that South Carolina, they went undefeated, and they won the national championship. And
00:26:22
Speaker
They finally went undefeated on news coverage as well. Yeah. Yeah. And the thing is like, it's just, you know, with that in relation to sports, when you have a team that could go undefeated like that, that's a, that's a, that is a huge accolade right there. And that not a lot of teams within sports can really say that they, they can do, you know, that, that, that takes a lot of, uh, uh,
00:26:48
Speaker
cooperation and camaraderie between your teammates and then also the culture too. So shout out to South Carolina in that regard. I do have to start with that because I do feel like they, I feel like they've gotten their, people have given them attention, but it's not the attention that it should have based off of that. Yeah. That's uncommon favorite. Like Don Stanley said, that's an uncommon favorite, baby. Yeah. Yeah.
00:27:14
Speaker
But so going back to the Kayla Clark thing, I guess I'll just go ahead and just start on it since I've already kind of started with the South Carolina theme. But yeah, please do. I do think that she did. Because the thing is like, you know, watching the games like where they play against LSU and then they play against South Carolina, you know, she did have she had an incredible I think she had a better game, my opinion, against LSU. That's just my opinion. One hundred percent she did. It was her big day.
00:27:41
Speaker
Yeah, yeah. In South Carolina, I think they had a better game plan to kind of hold her back because she shot okay. It wasn't too good as she did in the LSU game. But I do think her legacy, you know,
00:27:55
Speaker
You know, she did help to improve the women's sports overall, the field of it because of the fact that I did, I will admit that this was the, these couple of games, these past couple of games were probably the first time where I legitimately like enjoyed watching a full game of women's basketball.
00:28:16
Speaker
I'm gonna be honest, it was exciting to watch. It was good to see that too, like, you know, you have from Shooterswick, Kayla Clark, as far as Angel Reese, when I saw her play for LSU, you know, you got these big bodies, you also had a couple of big bodies too for South Carolina as well. And so it's good to see Camilla Cardoza.
00:28:34
Speaker
Yeah, that was her name, Cardosa. The thing is, she had an incredible game, too. And you also, one thing that I kind of noticed, too, that's been more prevalent is the pull-up game. It's improved a lot, like with, you know, at least what I've noticed, like Flau'jae Johnson that saw LSU, boy, I was impressed with her pull-up game. Some of the people on South Carolina, as well, they had a pretty good pull-up game, as well.
00:29:03
Speaker
I enjoyed watching those games overall. And I think overall, like she has definitely brought more attention to women's basketball. But one thing I will say that will hold up against her is not having that title. And I think this is what I am going to say for her going to the pros.
00:29:25
Speaker
There's a lot, I saw a lot of people mention this where it's just like, oh, you know, already you got some of the players in the WNBA that are already kind of like, oh, well, hey, we wait as soon as she do what she get up to this level. And the thing is, you know, some people kind of took offense to that, but I'm just like, well, the thing is, is that, yeah, you know, you proved yourself at college basketball. Hey, what are you going to do against the pros, man? Hey, you still got a lot to prove.
00:29:47
Speaker
Hey, what they can, what someone can tell you is, hey, you're with a championship there. What makes you think you're going to come up and dominate over here? So I think what, what this is though, it's a, it's a good chance for Kayla Clark to be able to prove herself a little bit more. And really, if she was a championship in the WNBA, it will bolster her legacy. Cause we, we're seeing right now.
00:30:09
Speaker
We have for better women's players are coming to the WNBA. So the thing is, is that you're going to have that higher competition as Tom goes along as she's in there. And I think that'll also bring more attention to the WNBA too. So if she chooses, I should say to go to the WNBA because I know Ice Cube has given her offers as well for the big three league. So
00:30:29
Speaker
So, you know, but the thing is, is that, yeah, well, I think I'm looking forward to seeing actually, you know, she steps up to the plate and hey, win a championship with the pros. You know, I got to agree with you on that, man. Like you said, shout out to Kelly Clark. She's like a generational talent, in my opinion. Definitely one of the first times I've been more so in tune to women's basketball, what they got going on, man. I mean, phenomenal job by both teams.
00:30:57
Speaker
South Carolina, they play better. They play with more heart. They played like a well-oiled machine. And you know, to Caitlin's defense, she was pulling up. She started early, you know, in the first quarter, second quarter, pulling up early, putting in them shots, man. And then South Carolina just got on her and said, we're going to shut that down. And then all you got left is, you know, you got Hannah Stuckey, who was there big. And you got Gabby Marshall, who is, I think, their point.
00:31:27
Speaker
Honestly, it was just those three for Iowa State to me, in my opinion, that were really putting in work and trying to make a case. I mean, Kaitlyn had half those points, but still. Kaitlyn, Iowa doesn't have any rebounders. And honestly, that's where they failed at this whole season. Yeah, they were. Yeah. So small. And honestly, nobody, I guess, shout out to Doc Bailey because she figured it out.
00:31:51
Speaker
They didn't have no height. They couldn't rebound. And honestly, LSU kind of exposed that a bit, but they didn't capitalize off of it and get those fast break points that they should have. But I mean, South Carolina, man, they just shut it down, man. So I'm interested to see what Kaitlyn does. I do think she'll be a number one pick in the WNBA. Oh, yeah.
00:32:13
Speaker
Definitely when she's able to get some rebounders on her team, I'm going to be really excited to see what comes about because there was once a guy who came out of Davidson College who didn't really have a bunch of rebounders with him, and he went to Golden State, you know what I'm saying? He's one of the ghosts of the game today. We got a hint of that name somewhere on the screen.
00:32:37
Speaker
Right, right, right, right, right. So yeah, we're going to see how well she dominates in the league with doing that. So I'm excited to see where Kaitlyn's journey goes. But to finish off, there should be way more news coverage with South Carolina and winning. And I just think, you know, Kaitlyn, a lot of attention. She brought a lot of attention back to women's basketball, and it's amazing. And I think, you know, that's well and done.
00:33:05
Speaker
but also give credit where credit is due. So shout out to South Carolina's team. Shout out to Don Staley. I think winning two to three championships within the last three years. She won three championships. And Don Staley is so impressive anyway. Like she's a gold medalist for one.
00:33:25
Speaker
Like, playing in the WNBA, but also coming back to coach and, like, winning championships with that, like, it's just, I don't know. You can't. You can't ask for a better black woman, man. That's just dope. I love seeing it. Right. For sure. Steph, man, did you do your homework, man? Right. Yeah, please. I didn't. Oh, man. I'm going to be honest, man. You missed out on some good games. I'm going to really be honest. I actually saw the ending of it, actually. It was pretty good.
00:33:57
Speaker
You saw the ending of it, you didn't even see the whole game. I saw the ending, like the last five, 10 minutes. That's where the game was getting away, man. You missed all the good stuff.
00:34:09
Speaker
My life is two of four right now, bro. I'm into football when it's football season, when the NBA gets to the playoffs, I'm on that. I ain't got room for college, men's college, women's college. When y'all get to the big leagues, tell me how it is, man. That's who I'm on. Wow. That's crazy. I don't have time for it. I don't have time for it. There's so many other things that I'd rather do than watch a college sports.
00:34:37
Speaker
And that's not to any, that's not to berate people who like that stuff. My grandfather watched every sport on the planet, okay? And he has all my respect, but I can't, no, I gotta tap out of that. For me, I mean, shit, watching every NFL game is almost too much. I'm like, okay.
00:34:58
Speaker
Thomas Money, man. That's Elmo. Thomas Money and... I don't know. You working on a weekend too? Hey, another Devers. Yes, sir. We got to get you a different job, man. For real. You got to enjoy these moments, man. That's history right there, bro. I get it. Nah. Nah. I'm fine, bro. Nah. Okay. I got you.
00:35:30
Speaker
Okay, so it's just like, I don't know, man. College sports is always rough to be the wrong way because they play a very specific way. Like they don't dribble too much. It's not really that focused on ball handles. They focus a lot on shot selection. And so on the NBA, like they don't throw up a bad shot, but I mean, they so good, it goes in anyway. So it's just like, the coach can't really be mad at you at that point.
00:35:55
Speaker
But the thing is, though, man, that's basketball is purest form, man. Exactly. Exactly, Jay. It's the purest form of the sport, whether it's football, whether it's basketball, whether it's baseball. It's the purest form of competitiveness, man. It's up there for anybody. Now, we'll say football, college football. I don't enjoy it as much. I don't know what it is about college football. I don't know what it is. I don't enjoy it as much as NFL. I don't know what it is, but it is.
00:36:24
Speaker
something with it. I don't know how to explain it, but college basketball in general, I feel like it is basketball is pure form of what you'll see from like people that you play with, like, you know, on the regular course and stuff like that. I appreciate it a little bit more. And of course, don't get me wrong, NBA is exciting where you've got these pros that could do just just really crazy shit. It goes in. So Steph Curry.
00:37:00
Speaker
Yeah, this might be watching man and you go be kicked off the podcast very careful
00:37:12
Speaker
But yeah, like, don't get me wrong, like NBA, like it's cool to see where like you got your Steph Curry's, you got your LeBron James, you know, or, you know, people from back then like Kobe's and Michael Jordan's where they can do just some crazy stuff. You're just like, man, how the hell they do that?
00:37:27
Speaker
You try going in the general court do the shit, then it don't look as pretty. So it's just like, man, that is one thing I enjoy about the NBA NFL too. There are some amazing athletes that you have in pro football where of course we know our boy Patty, Patty Mahomes. So, you know, for one. But you mean Mr. Goat himself? Yeah. Yes, sir.
00:37:52
Speaker
So, but the thing is, yeah, I think like that's why I do appreciate college basketball. Like, yeah, if something's a little bit sloppy, I guess there, there are some moments where some things are a little bit sloppy, but I think that, that, I think that's what kind of makes it more pure in the sense is that you have those people that are still doing mistakes, like how you would see with people you play with on a daily basis. So it makes them feel human. It makes, it gives us hope.
00:38:22
Speaker
Yeah, for sure. Yeah. But all right, man, I think we done hit all of our topics for today. But first, who's on our detention besides Step 5 for that horrible take earlier that Drake is saving hip-hop? Yeah, the same hip-hop, bro. Hey, where's that disc at, Drake? He revolutionized the disc game. You a dishonorable mention, man. Hey, bro, maybe I'm crazy, but I genuinely like it.
00:38:52
Speaker
I believe that, bro. Hey Drake, man. Shout out to you. No, but for real, shout out to J. Cole for that Patrick Mahomes bar on Ready24. That was hard. Yeah. Yeah. I know that's not what you're talking about. You know what? In fact, I'm sorry. This is going to attention. J. Cole, man. Yeah. I'm sorry. Yeah. That apology, man. Fucking with that shit. You're going attention. Yeah.
00:39:18
Speaker
Going to hip hop attention, going to Hollywood. You got something to think about there, bro. OK. I was listening to academics, and he made a really good point. Does J. Cole have friends, bro? You listen to academics? Because it's no way his friends would tell him that. And he's funny sometimes. I'm sorry. He's funny. You said that he had friends. Because there's no way his friends would tell him to do that. I mean.
00:39:47
Speaker
I'm sure he's got some people that he know, but probably, yeah, maybe he probably just did that on his own without saying that to nobody. Because the thing is, when was it official that he sent that? Wasn't it yesterday? Sunday. Wasn't it late yesterday? Because I didn't find out until this morning when I woke up. And it also, that's where I was just like, oh, why did this happen?
00:40:14
Speaker
Yeah, I think yeah, I think because the statement came out yesterday because he it was dream of Yeah, it was live coverage. So yeah Yeah, oh yeah, but But yeah, I'm sorry. We got for our boy. J. Cole detention man. And hey Hopefully, uh some some better things will come about over to over to the next time we got our next episode but hey, we'll see
00:40:43
Speaker
We will see. All right, y'all, man, this is a good episode. Steph Curry and Juice Soul, man. I appreciate y'all, y'all time. And I think we out, man.
