Speaker: Thank you, bro.

Speaker: You are, as you say, a creative savant.

Speaker: Nah, damn serious.

Speaker: Like, over the last few months, because of course we took a few months off, like, when we locked back in, like, ten toes down, these two dudes have been the backbone so far.

Speaker: Of course, I've been really, really busy giving all the time I could, but when it comes to this creative space, again, this is all OJ, bro.

Speaker: This is stuff that he had since then.

Speaker: college probably that he had just storage for who knows when and this is the perfect setup i mean he's learned new software so we can you know have all the engineering set up so talk about backbones bro both of these dudes let me keep going not only that

Speaker: This dude has implemented some processes so that way we can stay on schedule.

Speaker: We got calendars.

Speaker: We clocking in and clocking out.

Speaker: We got a whole bunch of stuff going on in the background to really make this thing high quality.

Speaker: And it's all because of his ideas.

Speaker: You go to work and you clock in and you do your thing, you still got to do the same for your passion and your purpose, man.

Speaker: That's a bar.

Speaker: We going to make that into a reel, son.

Speaker: I'm going to steal that and put it in my song.

Speaker: Oh, man.

Speaker: All right, man.

Speaker: Well, as you guys know, we have a new name.

Speaker: We are the Bread Breakers.

Speaker: BB.

Speaker: Bread Bakers.

Speaker: As you guys know, we implemented something in the first season to where we were, you know, eating food and doing food reviews.

Speaker: But I think it's more than that.

Speaker: I think breaking bread is about, you know, when you come together together,

Speaker: As a family, as a unit, as a team, and you sit down at a table and you guys converse, you talk about real life and you talk about the things that you go through, your struggles, your ups, your downs.

Speaker: That's what this podcast is about.

Speaker: And that's why we're the bread breakers, man.

Speaker: We come together and we show you our different perspectives.

Speaker: And it's a beautiful thing.

Speaker: It is a beautiful thing.

Speaker: So that is that is the reason behind the name.

Speaker: We just we actually breaking bread, though.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: And because we did it last season, we got to keep doing it.

Speaker: We got to go again.

Speaker: Talk to me what we got, my friend.

Speaker: So look, I'm going to keep y'all posting, man.

Speaker: My favorite food, one of my favorite foods is chicken tendies.

Speaker: Yes, sir.

Speaker: All right.

Speaker: Not tenders.

Speaker: Not tenders.

Speaker: Tendies.

Speaker: I'll classify that later.

Speaker: Tendies.

Speaker: Hey, yo.

Speaker: Hold the sauce.

Speaker: Hey, yo.

Speaker: So it's vicious.

Speaker: Go ahead.

Speaker: Bread breakers.

Speaker: So every episode, you know, we've we decided that every episode to start off.

Speaker: Yeah, we're going to be breaking bread.

Speaker: And to specify on that, we're going to be trying several different chicken tenders, chicken tendies from several different locations.

Speaker: So and we're also going to be rating them as well.

Speaker: So this is by far the best chicken tenders place in the whole state of Texas.

Speaker: So we decided to start off season two on a banger.

Speaker: Banger.

Speaker: We're on the quest to find the best chicken tendees in the world.

Speaker: Y'all see it, baby.

Speaker: Lane's chicken fingers.

Speaker: Again.

Speaker: You say Lane's?

Speaker: Argue with someone else.

Speaker: You say Lane's?

Speaker: Lane's.

Speaker: Argue with someone else.

Speaker: Don't argue.

Speaker: So if you're out here in Texas or wherever.

Speaker: You know that there's Lane's and then there's Canes.

Speaker: I used to think Lane's was a knock-me-off Canes until I had Lane's.

Speaker: Lane's is a knock-me-off Canes.

Speaker: I think Lane's was built first, though.

Speaker: That's Cap.

Speaker: I don't really know.

Speaker: But when I moved out here, that was my very first meal.

Speaker: So this man picked me up from the airport, me and my lady, my pre-aunce.

Speaker: And he tried to take me to Canes, but I was like, nah, bro, I had that before the last time I was out in Texas.

Speaker: I saw a place called Lane's, and I'm like, eh.

Speaker: He looks bootlegged.

Speaker: I tried it.

Speaker: Nah, no cap.

Speaker: Like, you even saw the name.

Speaker: Like, it's just a regular, you know, burgundy sign.

Speaker: It says Lanes.

Speaker: It's no rooster on there, John.

Speaker: It's no advertisement.

Speaker: It's no nothing.

Speaker: Like, nothing pops.

Speaker: The place ain't there, bro.

Speaker: No, no, no, no.

Speaker: The place got a chicken with an astronaut helmet on.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: Because that means this chick going to take you out of this world.

Speaker: Who does that, bro?

Speaker: Who does that?

Speaker: Nah, but no cap, though.

Speaker: This is by far the best chicken tender spot I've ever.

Speaker: Exactly.

Speaker: Nah, exactly.

Speaker: So we have five tenders.

Speaker: Lane's got spicy ones.

Speaker: Are these the spicy ones?

Speaker: No, these not spicy.

Speaker: So I'm going to get three tenders and then y'all can just both taste one.

Speaker: Matter of fact, I can give y'all half of one and I can have the three.

Speaker: No, no, no.

Speaker: He's not okay.

Speaker: He's not well, bro.

Speaker: He's a delinquent.

Speaker: I'm going to take my tender first.

Speaker: Are we not dipping in the sauce first?

Speaker: Oh, we're going to eat it without the sauce.

Speaker: Okay.

Speaker: Don't be double dipping buckoes.

Speaker: No, they gave me the smallest one.

Speaker: Man, that's crazy.

Speaker: One of y'all want this side?

Speaker: Nah, bro.

Speaker: I'm good.

Speaker: Just start getting under my carpet.

Speaker: So what we're going to do?

Speaker: We're going to take a bite.

Speaker: Let it simmer in.

Speaker: And then we're going to rate it from one to ten.

Speaker: All right.

Speaker: All right.

Speaker: Let's get it.

Speaker: Three, two, one.

Speaker: You heard the crunch.

Speaker: That was a good bite.

Speaker: A little ASMR.

Speaker: Mmm.

Speaker: It's been sitting for a minute, but still.

Speaker: No, it's good.

Speaker: Wait a minute.

Speaker: Bite too.

Speaker: This man's gonna eat the whole chicken.

Speaker: Wait a minute.

Speaker: I'm about to eat the styrofoam.

Speaker: I'm gonna taste something strong.

Speaker: All right.

Speaker: All right.

Speaker: Don't give me a judge yet.

Speaker: Don't give me a judge.

Speaker: You want to say that?

Speaker: I'll dip it off.

Speaker: I'm gonna go in the back.

Speaker: I'm gonna go in the back.

Speaker: Don't be double dipping, no.

Speaker: Uh-oh.

Speaker: Uh-oh.

Speaker: I'm good.

Speaker: I'm good.

Speaker: I'm good.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: I got the back too.

Speaker: Oh, a drill finish, isn't it?

Speaker: Y'all know the drill.

Speaker: What do you want with sauce, boy?

Speaker: I'm gonna cut my mouth off.

Speaker: Man.

Speaker: All right.

Speaker: What's the last one there, bro?

Speaker: I feel like we should get like a... I wish I had some water.

Speaker: I thought we should get like a rating system in place.

Speaker: We should judge each... Look at this man.

Speaker: Look at this man eating crumbs.

Speaker: He's vicious.

Speaker: And these are delicious.

Speaker: You know what I'm talking about?

Speaker: Yeah, bro.

Speaker: I love them bro.

Speaker: I love the shark bun.

Speaker: If y'all watching please, if y'all watching, shout out to y'all bro.

Speaker: I love y'all videos.

Speaker: That's funny, that's funny.

Speaker: You got it bro.

Speaker: I feel like we should rate it on a couple of things.

Speaker: Crunchiness is a must.

Speaker: Crunchiness and texture.

Speaker: Flavor right and like is it seasoned just on the inside or is it season?

Speaker: Is it just on the outside season on the inside?

Speaker: So like I feel like we should give a rating for both of those And then overall rate you know saying mm-hmm all right texture wise Ain't the crunchiest thing that I had and I think it's also because been sitting so I might be but it is crunchy crunchy was I'm gonna give it a eight Nate eight

Speaker: Eight and a half.

Speaker: Going up.

Speaker: Because I feel like if we got it fresh, it would have been crunchier.

Speaker: All right.

Speaker: So, eight and a half.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: I've had these faithfully.

Speaker: So, this crunchy scale, I'd give it like a seven.

Speaker: Okay.

Speaker: Come here.

Speaker: Dang.

Speaker: I'm not going to lie, man.

Speaker: I mean...

Speaker: Y'all know how to start these off.

Speaker: I don't eat nothing.

Speaker: I don't eat nothing so my palate can be cleansed.

Speaker: Okay?

Speaker: But we're going to talk about the crunchiness first, like they said.

Speaker: I think, man, it's still giving Tyson's chicken.

Speaker: I don't know.

Speaker: It's still giving Tyson's chicken in the oven.

Speaker: Didn't he say that about the fish?

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: And then he said some freaky comment about the Afro-Deeson.

Speaker: Yeah, exactly.

Speaker: No, no, I think, I mean, it was sitting.

Speaker: It really was.

Speaker: But the crunch, the crunch was there.

Speaker: I'll give it a 7.5 for sure.

Speaker: All right, so we got a 7 and a 7.5.

Speaker: Yeah, it's calm, it's calm.

Speaker: So I guess it's what?

Speaker: It's calm.

Speaker: Calm.

Speaker: C-A-L-M.

Speaker: Calm.

Speaker: Oh, my God.

Speaker: Chill.

Speaker: Chill, Bill.

Speaker: He's saying some new stuff.

Speaker: I feel like I'm getting – I feel like I'm really am becoming a dad because he'd be saying this.

Speaker: You really left this man hanging.

Speaker: Me?

Speaker: My bad.

Speaker: My bad.

Speaker: It's too late.

Speaker: I got my stuff.

Speaker: Aphrodisiac.

Speaker: What that dude?

Speaker: He keeps saying calm.

Speaker: I'm like, bro, what do you mean by calm?

Speaker: What do you mean everything's calm, bro?

Speaker: It's chaos right now.

Speaker: I'm a youngin.

Speaker: I'm a youngin.

Speaker: You are the oldest.

Speaker: No.

Speaker: No, don't do me.

Speaker: Alex is 24.

Speaker: 20 plus 8.

Speaker: 27 all right so we got so we got seven seven and a half and eight and eight yeah we'll just get eight we're gonna play yeah so we'll go we'll settle at seven and a half for the crunchiness flavor wise i would give it a i give it a seven and a half as well i give it a seven and a half i'm giving it an 8.5 i'm not gonna lie i mean the flavor is still like on my tongue like i can

Speaker: Yeah, it's good flavor.

Speaker: It didn't sound like they just put it on the bread.

Speaker: Exactly.

Speaker: I felt it inside, too.

Speaker: Exactly.

Speaker: I'm with Alex, man.

Speaker: I ain't gonna lie to you.

Speaker: I think I give it an 8.5 as well.

Speaker: And I'm gonna be honest, the only reason I'm giving it an 8.5 is because I've held lanes on this pedestal for so long, and I'm a firm believer that there are better options out there.

Speaker: So, I'm gonna play it safe and give it an 8.5 because I know.

Speaker: Think about Cain's, though.

Speaker: I mean, not Cain's, Lane's, sorry.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: Hey, hey, hey, hey, I think that answers it all.

Speaker: I'm not going to lie to you, thinking about Canes while you munching on Lane.

Speaker: No, no, but Lane's is consistent.

Speaker: Like, I've never had it and it wasn't good.

Speaker: Like, it was consistent.

Speaker: There's times where I've, and it may be because I've had canes more, but there's times where I had canes and the chicken was soggy.

Speaker: Like, it wasn't.

Speaker: Every time I've had it, it's been consistent.

Speaker: Okay.

Speaker: Well, let's not talk too much about canes because I'm going to be honest.

Speaker: That's going to be one of our next options.

Speaker: So, I gave it seven and a half for flavor.

Speaker: You gave it a what?

Speaker: Eight and a half.

Speaker: Eight and a half.

Speaker: Eight and a half.

Speaker: Eight and a half.

Speaker: So, we'll settle at eight.

Speaker: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker: So, we have an eight and a seven and a half.

Speaker: Yep.

Speaker: Oh, wowzers.

Speaker: Wowzers.

Speaker: So what do we give it?

Speaker: Wait, wasn't there one more?

Speaker: Oh, spiciness on the inside.

Speaker: No, the seasoning.

Speaker: I mean, that's what we talked about, the flavor.

Speaker: Okay, okay, okay.

Speaker: So we just do those too.

Speaker: So we can settle at like 7.7.

Speaker: Should we all give our individual rating?

Speaker: No.

Speaker: As a collective?

Speaker: As a collective, we give it a 7.7.

Speaker: 7.6 for sure.

Speaker: I say 7.6.

Speaker: Why you won't give it a 7?

Speaker: What's the difference between that point?

Speaker: We're going to give it an eight or I'm leaving the podcast.

Speaker: No, no, no.

Speaker: He said, why did I give it at that point?

Speaker: It's because the flavor is not on my tongue anymore.

Speaker: It was.

Speaker: What?

Speaker: It just stayed on your tongue.

Speaker: Just a minute and a half, 48 seconds ago.

Speaker: You were just like, it's on the middle of your tongue.

Speaker: Oh, my God.

Speaker: Y'all really want to give it a 7.7?

Speaker: Let's give it a – All right, we'll give it a 7.7.

Speaker: 7.7.

Speaker: We'll throw it up on my screen.

Speaker: Because it's 7.5 and then 8, so that falls in the middle.

Speaker: If you want to get real technical, we can get the decimal points and stuff, but I'm not doing all that.

Speaker: I got this calculus.

Speaker: Part of my heart feels bad because we're really rating Wayne 7.7.

Speaker: That's a consecutive answer, so we'll leave it at that.

Speaker: All right.

Speaker: Well, 7.7 is our final four lanes.

Speaker: We'll be back our next episode with a new tender.

Speaker: He's going to surprise us.

Speaker: So we'll just eat it when it comes.

Speaker: Hopefully it's good.

Speaker: Thanks.

Speaker: Wait, wait, question.

Speaker: Can anyone make like a good like crunch noise?

Speaker: Alex?

Speaker: Oh, that sounds like a dog.

Speaker: What?

Speaker: What is that?

Speaker: Sorry, sorry, sorry.

Speaker: Crunch at all.

Speaker: I think Alex Loki got the best one so anytime we like I'm buying six apples at a time

Speaker: Y'all got me looking weak on this podcast right now.

Speaker: I'm going to be in all the means.

Speaker: You're just having a blast.

Speaker: Having a blast.

Speaker: Hey, man.

Speaker: No, for real.

Speaker: That was good.

Speaker: No, it really was.

Speaker: It really was.

Speaker: All right.

Speaker: All right.

Speaker: Let's get into something that we're going to be doing weekly as well.

Speaker: So we're breaking bread weekly.

Speaker: Next thing that we're doing weekly is something that I like to call.

Speaker: We go a hip hop draft, music draft, and this is where you guys aren't going to know.

Speaker: Don't look.

Speaker: Stop looking at something.

Speaker: I'm copying it.

Speaker: Look at it.

Speaker: You're cheating.

Speaker: No.

Speaker: You're cheating.

Speaker: So I'm going to pick artists every week.

Speaker: It could be a hip hop.

Speaker: It could be an R&B.

Speaker: It could be country music.

Speaker: It could be whatever.

Speaker: Right?

Speaker: I know these guys pretty well, so I know what they like and what they don't like.

Speaker: Right?

Speaker: So...

Speaker: We're gonna pick different artists every week and we're going to create a starting five and we're gonna compete against each other who can have the best starting five of You know music artists.

Speaker: So here are the rules, okay?

Speaker: All right, so here are the rules, okay

Speaker: We got five rounds and there's going to be five tiers.

Speaker: Okay.

Speaker: You have 30 seconds to make your pick.

Speaker: You have to pick one person from each tier.

Speaker: Okay?

Speaker: So, I'm not going to give you all five tiers right out of the bat.

Speaker: I'm going to send you tier five, and then we'll go, and then I'll send you tier four, tier three.

Speaker: Okay?

Speaker: Okay.

Speaker: So, choose wisely, right?

Speaker: All right.

Speaker: You have, there's six artists in each tier.

Speaker: There's five tiers, and there's six artists in each tier.

Speaker: Okay?

Speaker: And then the draft order is chosen at random.

Speaker: Okay?

Speaker: Ooh.

Speaker: Mm-hmm.

Speaker: Mm-hmm.

Speaker: Mm-hmm.

Speaker: Hold on.

Speaker: So should we have our viewers like vote?

Speaker: Huh?

Speaker: Yeah, they could definitely.

Speaker: Yeah, that's fire.

Speaker: Yeah, let's have them vote.

Speaker: Let's have them vote.

Speaker: We'll say who we think is best, but all right.

Speaker: Can we look at the list now?

Speaker: No, don't look at the list yet.

Speaker: I got it.

Speaker: All right.

Speaker: So I don't have the generator.

Speaker: I can't pull up one right now, but all right.

Speaker: So we have team names.

Speaker: Okay.

Speaker: I'll let Adora, you say your team name first.

Speaker: He don't even remember his team.

Speaker: Hey, you sick, man.

Speaker: Literally.

Speaker: Like cells.

Speaker: Whoa.

Speaker: Whoa.

Speaker: Whoa.

Speaker: Okay, listen.

Speaker: From down south, born and raised in Irving, Texas.

Speaker: Oh, my gosh.

Speaker: The greatest of them all, we got House OJ coming at you next.

Speaker: You was expecting an applause of someone.

Speaker: Hey, I'll get him.

Speaker: I'll get him.

Speaker: Is it House of OJ?

Speaker: Yeah, House of OJ.

Speaker: So his team name is Hossa OJ.

Speaker: What's your team name?

Speaker: AKA Tropicana.

Speaker: Oh, I get it.

Speaker: I get it.

Speaker: Tropicana, you know.

Speaker: He's not okay.

Speaker: Orange juice.

Speaker: A little Simply.

Speaker: He's not okay.

Speaker: So I'm a weird guy.

Speaker: So mine is going to be the sloth slinging hemes.

Speaker: This man is slinging sloths.

Speaker: No, this man just said the hash slinging slashing.

Speaker: That's what he said.

Speaker: The sloth slinging hemes.

Speaker: Can you tell us your motivation behind that?

Speaker: He gave us a little back story.

Speaker: He's down south.

Speaker: Heme is one of my favorite words to use, and it's so versatile.

Speaker: You can use hemes when disrespecting somebody.

Speaker: You can use heme when you're just trying to show love.

Speaker: I mean, anything.

Speaker: So heme is just a very versatile word.

Speaker: It's a slang that you could use with anything.

Speaker: Dude, DC slang was episode two.

Speaker: Oh, no, no, no.

Speaker: I don't even want to.

Speaker: I don't want to connect that with DC because DC does not claim that.

Speaker: So y'all don't say DC to people don't say heme?

Speaker: I mean, that's the first time I heard it.

Speaker: But I hear him.

Speaker: He's really adopted it for himself.

Speaker: I will text you back heme just as a confirmation that I heard.

Speaker: Heme's okay.

Speaker: So you made heme up.

Speaker: No, he did not.

Speaker: I didn't make it up, but when I heard it, I ran with it.

Speaker: Other people don't use that term at all.

Speaker: I do faithfully.

Speaker: I love sloths.

Speaker: That's literally going to probably be one of my first exotic pets.

Speaker: Again.

Speaker: I mean that to the bottom of my heart.

Speaker: I don't mean to interject, but whose favorite animal is a sloth?

Speaker: I'm sorry.

Speaker: Who am I to judge?

Speaker: Your favorite animal got long claws and move

Speaker: So slow.

Speaker: My best friend.

Speaker: And they got no eyelids.

Speaker: I like sloths.

Speaker: Sloths don't got no eyelids.

Speaker: They don't blink.

Speaker: I love sloths, though.

Speaker: So, sloth.

Speaker: And then, you know, I had to do something catchy with the sloth.

Speaker: So, sloth slinging.

Speaker: You going to be slinging your pet sloth?

Speaker: Ja.

Speaker: Sling.

Speaker: I got to give him a name.

Speaker: I got to give him a spicy name.

Speaker: But, no, that's what I'm saying.

Speaker: So, we the sloth slinking hemes.

Speaker: Argue with your mother, not me.

Speaker: Heem the sloth.

Speaker: Look at that.

Speaker: Heem, I like that.

Speaker: Alright.

Speaker: Naheem, I like it.

Speaker: And for me.

Speaker: My name comes from the origins of hip-hop.

Speaker: Y'all know I'm a hip-hop head.

Speaker: I love music.

Speaker: Mine comes from the origin of hip-hop from when it first began and the DJs were spinning at the parties in New York and there was the breakdown and we had MCs spitting over the breakdown.

Speaker: My team is the Grand Masters, baby!

Speaker: Yeah, I know you like that.

Speaker: I was just filling in the noise.

Speaker: I know you like that.

Speaker: Okay.

Speaker: Let me get a timer going.

Speaker: Right behind slot slinging teams.

Speaker: Slot slinging slash slinging.

Speaker: That's yours, bro.

Speaker: That's yours.

Speaker: All right.

Speaker: So, Alex.

Speaker: First.

Speaker: Your second.

Speaker: How you going to save me up first?

Speaker: Get me all excited.

Speaker: I'm over here thinking I got first.

Speaker: We was giving Adora his flowers today, so we're going to let him go first.

Speaker: We're going to let him go first.

Speaker: We're going to keep the flowers coming for him.

Speaker: I'm going to go last.

Speaker: Adora goes first.

Speaker: You go number two.

Speaker: Not actual number two.

Speaker: Wait, can me and Alex switch low key?

Speaker: You want to?

Speaker: No.

Speaker: No.

Speaker: It's random.

Speaker: No, because the first shall be last.

Speaker: And I'm trying to enter the kingdom of God.

Speaker: Nope.

Speaker: That was all right.

Speaker: The randomizer.

Speaker: All right.

Speaker: Can I look at the list now?

Speaker: No.

Speaker: So.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: You can.

Speaker: So.

Speaker: Hold on.

Speaker: Hold on.

Speaker: You can look at tier five.

Speaker: Hold on.

Speaker: Are we doing tier five first?

Speaker: Tier five.

Speaker: That's spicy.

Speaker: Go to tier five.

Speaker: We can look at it now?

Speaker: Yes.

Speaker: Did I send y'all the right one though?

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: I think so.

Speaker: I see tier five.

Speaker: I see.

Speaker: So we'll put it up on the screen so they can see.

Speaker: So in tier five, we have myself, Greg Trey.

Speaker: You're phony.

Speaker: You're phony.

Speaker: We have Adura.

Speaker: We have Anu.

Speaker: And then we have like their favorite artists.

Speaker: Okay.

Speaker: So one of my favorite artists is Bryson Tiller.

Speaker: For Alex, we have Blast, which is one of his favorite artists.

Speaker: And then for Adura, we have Burner Boy.

Speaker: He's an Afrobeat king over there.

Speaker: So Adura, you have, will you believe in yourself?

Speaker: I knew that's what I was about to bring up.

Speaker: Will you believe in yourself or will you pick somebody else?

Speaker: 30 seconds.

Speaker: Burner Boy.

Speaker: No, no, no.

Speaker: It took this man 4.86.

Speaker: It should have took me fast.

Speaker: And I'll tell you the reason why.

Speaker: I knew he was going to say, should you bet on yourself or go with your favorite rapper?

Speaker: Bro, I'm winning this thing.

Speaker: Burner boy.

Speaker: Burner.

Speaker: I'm going to be honest.

Speaker: What song does I do?

Speaker: You probably don't need 30 seconds for each category.

Speaker: What song do I have?

Speaker: It's fine.

Speaker: It's just a case.

Speaker: Just a case.

Speaker: All right.

Speaker: Am I next?

Speaker: Three, two, one.

Speaker: I might need 30 seconds on that.

Speaker: That's crazy.

Speaker: That's crazy.

Speaker: I don't need no time.

Speaker: I'm sorry.

Speaker: I'm sorry, Blast.

Speaker: But you got to go to the curb, bro.

Speaker: Because I'm not putting nobody before myself.

Speaker: Ain't no.

Speaker: I'm versatile.

Speaker: Very versatile.

Speaker: Oh, yeah.

Speaker: I like that.

Speaker: I like that.

Speaker: I like that.

Speaker: Because like I said, I only put out a few things.

Speaker: But I know.

Speaker: I know what I'm capable of.

Speaker: Yes, sir.

Speaker: I'm versatile.

Speaker: There we go.

Speaker: There we go.

Speaker: Ain't no for the books.

Speaker: Tier 5.

Speaker: Ain't no for the books.

Speaker: Tier 5.

Speaker: Ain't no for the books.

Speaker: Tier 5.

Speaker: Argue with your mother.

Speaker: Not me.

Speaker: Hey.

Speaker: Who did that?

Speaker: That was fire.

Speaker: Who did that?

Speaker: Who did that?

Speaker: It was fire.

Speaker: That was fire.

Speaker: That was you?

Speaker: That was the wackest thing I've ever heard in my life.

Speaker: I'm not going to lie, bro.

Speaker: That door was clean.

Speaker: For real this time.

Speaker: Why are you trying to drag me up?

Speaker: You said I can't even do that.

Speaker: What'd you say?

Speaker: DJ LA 101.

Speaker: All right.

Speaker: I don't even need the timer.

Speaker: All right, bet.

Speaker: Tier 5, I'm going to go on myself, Greg.

Speaker: Of course they will.

Speaker: Of course they will.

Speaker: They're not realistic.

Speaker: I put myself against anybody, man.

Speaker: I know I got a long way to go.

Speaker: I got a long way to go, but I've been putting in the work, man, and I put myself up against anybody.

Speaker: I believe in myself that much.

Speaker: I'm going all in.

Speaker: Tropicana think he in the league just because he chose Burner.

Speaker: All right, so recap a round one.

Speaker: Let's not break this one down.

Speaker: I'm playing a play.

Speaker: Recap a round one.

Speaker: What's your team name again?

Speaker: House OJ.

Speaker: House OJ chose Burner Boy.

Speaker: He didn't believe in first pick.

Speaker: I do believe in myself, but I believe in Burner Moore.

Speaker: You know, guys?

Speaker: Last, last.

Speaker: Now, everybody go try breakfast.

Speaker: I thought that was Sean Kingston who was on that song.

Speaker: Let's do two.

Speaker: Put your mic down.

Speaker: Put your mic down.

Speaker: And go home.

Speaker: Well, then get my wings back.

Speaker: Get in that cage with no-go.

Speaker: And then Sloth slinging, yeah, hemes.

Speaker: He picked himself and then, you know, Grandmasters, you know, Greg Trey.

Speaker: You know what I'm saying?

Speaker: All right.

Speaker: We're back.

Speaker: So it's me now.

Speaker: We're going Snake.

Speaker: It's Snake, right?

Speaker: Yeah, that's what we're going to do.

Speaker: So it's back on me.

Speaker: Tier 4.

Speaker: You can look at Tier 4 now.

Speaker: Okay.

Speaker: So this is just some of the newer artists out there in the industry, right?

Speaker: So we got 21 Savage.

Speaker: We got DaBaby.

Speaker: We got Kodak Black.

Speaker: We got Lil Uzi Vert.

Speaker: We got Roddy Rich.

Speaker: And we got Rod Wave.

Speaker: All right.

Speaker: Grandmasters.

Speaker: Your pick is in.

Speaker: All right.

Speaker: This is cool.

Speaker: All right.

Speaker: Let me see.

Speaker: I didn't really study this before.

Speaker: Good, good.

Speaker: Wait, should we be looking right now?

Speaker: Yeah, you can look at tier four.

Speaker: You can look at tier four.

Speaker: All right, I'm going... I'm going Raw Wave.

Speaker: I'm going Raw Wave.

Speaker: That's the hard part because it's like you're thinking of a few artists and if that artist gets selected, you can't get them.

Speaker: Raw Wave.

Speaker: Let me tell you the reason why I love Raw Wave.

Speaker: I was about to say, yeah, you got to explain these now.

Speaker: He puts so much...

Speaker: The thing I appreciate about music is when people tell stories and when they talk about the things that they actually go through in their life and they put passion behind what they're saying.

Speaker: And Rod Wave embodies that, bro.

Speaker: Everything that he sings, everything that he raps, I believe it, bro.

Speaker: And it just, you know, it takes you back to places to where you were going through similar things.

Speaker: And that's what I hope to do with my music is to relate to people.

Speaker: And I think he does a great job of doing that.

Speaker: Phenomenal job.

Speaker: Phenomenal.

Speaker: He plays sad music.

Speaker: And I hate that I play devil's advocate every time I sit in this chair and this mic is in front of my face.

Speaker: But Rod Wave plays mad music.

Speaker: I mean, sad music.

Speaker: What's wrong with that?

Speaker: Nothing wrong.

Speaker: But diversify yourself.

Speaker: You got to.

Speaker: It can't be hard on your sleeve on one song and then, wait, that's the only song I know about Rod Wave because he only makes sad music.

Speaker: That's a horrible way to go though.

Speaker: Tell me.

Speaker: That's the only song you know but he only plays it.

Speaker: Of course I've listened to other that was a joke but like of course I listen to other Raway songs but like 90% of Raway's music

Speaker: is a bit sad he's down 95 95 but it is but if you're also someone that like really vibes out to him and listen to it like his albums i mean yes not all of his songs are sad right but it he also that's his way of connecting with people yeah i mean i honestly cap off to him he's not rapping about really being out here killing people of course of course like everyone else could be cap i mean it could not be

Speaker: Yeah, no, facts.

Speaker: But that's the way he connects with his fans.

Speaker: You listen to certain artists for certain things.

Speaker: You know what I'm saying?

Speaker: Yes.

Speaker: That's true, right?

Speaker: Not every artist makes it.

Speaker: If a good artist doesn't make the same music as somebody else, they talk about stories that are significant to them, right?

Speaker: So you listen to J. Cole for a very different reason than you listen to a Rob Wade.

Speaker: Of course.

Speaker: You will listen to Burner Boy for a very different reason than you listen to J. Cole.

Speaker: You know what I'm saying?

Speaker: Definitely.

Speaker: So it just depends on what type of movie you're in.

Speaker: And then you have the goat.

Speaker: That's the beauty of music.

Speaker: No, no, yeah, I completely agree with you.

Speaker: But then you have the goat.

Speaker: And I'm not trying to be funny right now, but you got the goat.

Speaker: So I'm like, Kanye.

Speaker: Oh.

Speaker: And that man will touch all of your feelings.

Speaker: He can.

Speaker: And that's what makes a great artist.

Speaker: Exactly.

Speaker: Exactly.

Speaker: So that's what I picture.

Speaker: And I know it's not fair for me to essentially compare everybody to the GOAT, Kanye, or even Drake, honestly, because Drake can hit the sad.

Speaker: He can hit the turn up.

Speaker: He can hit the really angry music.

Speaker: Like, that's just Drake.

Speaker: You know what I'm saying?

Speaker: But, like, I want not to compare, but I want to hold people to, like, a standard of, yo,

Speaker: Tap into something different.

Speaker: Keep in mind, though, I am almost certain both of those artists are in one of these higher tiers.

Speaker: So it's a reason these artists are in these tiers.

Speaker: Because they're not probably, you know, people are not going to compare a Rod Wade.

Speaker: I did my due diligence.

Speaker: Well done.

Speaker: Well done.

Speaker: Well done.

Speaker: I couldn't see you over the mic, but I knew your hand was there.

Speaker: That's the way to shut me up.

Speaker: But, I mean, like I said, that's honestly, it's good science behind all of this.

Speaker: No, facts, facts, definitely.

Speaker: You're going to have certain tears of, you know, certain quality of artists.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: Facts, that's facts.

Speaker: Okay.

Speaker: And it's no knock to nobody.

Speaker: If you're a tear, like, we love music here on this podcast.

Speaker: So, we're not knocking anybody.

Speaker: We just made these tears just to, you know, spice some things up.

Speaker: Exactly.

Speaker: And, you know, that's it.

Speaker: So, it ain't nothing serious, bro.

Speaker: Alright, Alex, you got 30 seconds.

Speaker: Thank y'all for elaborating because y'all helped me think more and more after my life.

Speaker: This guy.

Speaker: But I'm still stuck.

Speaker: Timer start already?

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: Okay.

Speaker: You got 20 seconds, big fella.

Speaker: Sloth slingers.

Speaker: I am really going to regret this to the bottom of my heart.

Speaker: I think I know where he's going to go.

Speaker: I think I know where he's going to go, too.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: How much time is left, man?

Speaker: You got 10 seconds.

Speaker: Five.

Speaker: I got to do it.

Speaker: Four.

Speaker: I'm going with DaBaby.

Speaker: Great choice.

Speaker: Great choice.

Speaker: Great choice.

Speaker: I thought you were going Roddy.

Speaker: That's what I thought he was too.

Speaker: Roddy is my, by far, top three of my favorite artists.

Speaker: But...

Speaker: Roddy has put out a lot of music, in my opinion.

Speaker: Again, my favorite artist is a little contradictory, but he's put out a lot of music that I'm just like, okay, this wasn't, it didn't hit the way I wanted it to hit.

Speaker: Or just some of his albums just really weren't as spicy as I wanted them to be.

Speaker: Definitely bangers on each album, each project or whatever.

Speaker: But I'm just, you know, if we're not talking about publicity and all that extra stuff and, you know, DaBaby has put out consistent hits.

Speaker: Despite everything else, he puts out big hits.

Speaker: I respect that.

Speaker: I respect that.

Speaker: I'm so sorry, Roddy Rich, bro.

Speaker: I love you, bro.

Speaker: All right.

Speaker: I love you.

Speaker: House of OJ, talk to us.

Speaker: You got 30 seconds.

Speaker: Hey, let me know when I'm at 10 seconds, all right?

Speaker: You going to wait that long?

Speaker: Heck no.

Speaker: Just let me process.

Speaker: Just click my iPad off.

Speaker: See?

Speaker: Tell me when I'm at 10 seconds.

Speaker: It's hard, bro.

Speaker: That's cap.

Speaker: Look at me.

Speaker: I'm already wasting.

Speaker: Let me get to it.

Speaker: 21 Savage.

Speaker: Dread 2.

Speaker: 21 Savage.

Speaker: You already got 10 seconds left.

Speaker: Are you serious?

Speaker: Yes, bro.

Speaker: Dang.

Speaker: 21?

Speaker: I just want to rock.

Speaker: I just want to... So you're going a little... That's a mean lift.

Speaker: Who's your savage?

Speaker: What'd you go?

Speaker: Uzi?

Speaker: I just want to rock.

Speaker: That's a great choice.

Speaker: That's a great choice.

Speaker: You do you, bro.

Speaker: After two rounds, I have chosen

Speaker: I have myself and I have Rod Wave.

Speaker: Alex, you have yourself and you have DaBaby.

Speaker: House of OJ, you have... Who do you have?

Speaker: Burner Boy.

Speaker: Oh, yeah.

Speaker: Burner Boy.

Speaker: And Lil Uzi Vike.

Speaker: Alright, it's back on you, Adir.

Speaker: It's on me.

Speaker: I started this time.

Speaker: No, it's a snake draft.

Speaker: You should have took his offer.

Speaker: Yeah, you're a dunzo at this point.

Speaker: It's a snake draft.

Speaker: But how?

Speaker: It's on me.

Speaker: No, it's a snake draft.

Speaker: I'm always going to be second.

Speaker: That's not how we planned it.

Speaker: You should have took my offer, buddy.

Speaker: He said, it's my turn.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: You need to leave.

Speaker: Oh, my God.

Speaker: All right.

Speaker: Let me go.

Speaker: Let me go.

Speaker: All right.

Speaker: You can go to tier three.

Speaker: Who?

Speaker: Some of these are some.

Speaker: I put some of these like my favorites.

Speaker: But I need an OG in this zone.

Speaker: All right.

Speaker: Three, two, one.

Speaker: House of OJ, you're up.

Speaker: See, House of OJ, we view every talent.

Speaker: Hold on.

Speaker: Do you want to say who they are?

Speaker: Oh, I did not.

Speaker: Oh, yeah.

Speaker: Let me say that first.

Speaker: So, tier three.

Speaker: It's going to be up on the screen.

Speaker: Cordae, Jack Harlow, Little Baby, Benny the Butcher, Nipsey Hussle, and Joey Bad.

Speaker: A-Z-Z.

Speaker: It's A-S-S.

Speaker: I know.

Speaker: Joey Badass, man.

Speaker: Joey Badass.

Speaker: Gotta keep the brand, man.

Speaker: Gotta keep the brand.

Speaker: You can say it for me, though.

Speaker: Okay.

Speaker: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker: No, but he still has only 20 seconds left.

Speaker: Or 10 seconds left now?

Speaker: Yeah, I'll give him.

Speaker: You got 20 seconds left.

Speaker: Okay, okay, bet.

Speaker: I need an OG.

Speaker: So, of course, Nipsey would be the case.

Speaker: But I'm not going to lie, man.

Speaker: Jack Harlow is a different breed.

Speaker: That new album he put out was amazing.

Speaker: The new album, like, it came with something different.

Speaker: You got five seconds.

Speaker: Jack Harlow.

Speaker: I like that pick.

Speaker: That's a good pick.

Speaker: That's a good pick, bro.

Speaker: He's different.

Speaker: He's different.

Speaker: That's a good pick.

Speaker: I'm a... Like that Jackman album he just put out.

Speaker: I'm not even the biggest Jack Harlow fan at all.

Speaker: I mean, I've heard some of his hype songs, but I listened to the album all the way through, and I was like, I'm a fan.

Speaker: Yeah, he's different.

Speaker: He's different.

Speaker: All right, bro.

Speaker: Sloth Slingers.

Speaker: Heems.

Speaker: Sloth Slinging.

Speaker: Heems.

Speaker: You got 30 seconds.

Speaker: Let's get it.

Speaker: Lil Baby.

Speaker: That guy.

Speaker: Well done, too.

Speaker: I like that pick as well.

Speaker: That was my next pick.

Speaker: Someone would have took Jack Carlo.

Speaker: I'm glad I didn't go first.

Speaker: You're asleep.

Speaker: Lil Baby has too many bangers, bro, and he definitely preached about some good stuff.

Speaker: I feel it.

Speaker: I feel it.

Speaker: All right.

Speaker: Let me 30 seconds.

Speaker: I don't know how to pick here because I like all of these.

Speaker: Dang.

Speaker: These are tough.

Speaker: So we got Corday, Benny DeBuch, and Nipsey Hussle, Joey.

Speaker: Oh, I thought we already moved on from you.

Speaker: My bad.

Speaker: Oh, you cheat?

Speaker: Look at him cheating, bro.

Speaker: Cheater, cheating, pumpkin eater.

Speaker: Dang, bro.

Speaker: I'm intrigued to know what that tear too look like now.

Speaker: Dude.

Speaker: I'm a big fan.

Speaker: It's vicious.

Speaker: Dang.

Speaker: Dang, dang, dang.

Speaker: Seven seconds.

Speaker: Five.

Speaker: I'm going to have to go Nipsey, bro.

Speaker: I'm going to go Nipsey.

Speaker: Great.

Speaker: I'm going to go Nipsey.

Speaker: That's a great pick.

Speaker: Respect to the OG.

Speaker: Rest in peace, Nipsey.

Speaker: R.I.P.

Speaker: So here's what I will say about Nipsey, bro.

Speaker: And I'm going to just be completely honest.

Speaker: I was not a fan when he was alive.

Speaker: Why?

Speaker: So I knew Nipsey just from all the stuff he was doing in the community.

Speaker: But I never listened to his music.

Speaker: And I think that it sucked.

Speaker: It sucks that you have to wait until somebody passes away to really like

Speaker: listen to the catalog and be impressed by it, bro.

Speaker: I don't ever want to do that again.

Speaker: I don't want people to do that with me.

Speaker: You know what I'm saying?

Speaker: I don't want to pass away and then people finally go back and listen to the music like, man, we should have listened.

Speaker: Facts, facts, facts.

Speaker: The same way we giving each other flowers now, let's give each other flowers while they're here.

Speaker: I like that.

Speaker: I'm a big fan of Nipsey now, and I wish I was when he was alive.

Speaker: Yeah, definitely.

Speaker: All right, so round three.

Speaker: I got Nipsey.

Speaker: I got Rod Wave.

Speaker: I got myself.

Speaker: Talk about it, Alex.

Speaker: Who you have?

Speaker: I have A-New myself.

Speaker: I have DaBaby.

Speaker: And then I have Lil Baby.

Speaker: He got DaBaby.

Speaker: I got DaBaby.

Speaker: We got DaBaby.

Speaker: All right.

Speaker: Talk to us.

Speaker: You know how so, OJ?

Speaker: We got Jackman.

Speaker: Jack Harlow.

Speaker: Yes, sir.

Speaker: We have... I forgot about this.

Speaker: Who's?

Speaker: I just want to rot.

Speaker: Why are you doing that with your lips?

Speaker: Sorry.

Speaker: Sorry.

Speaker: Sorry.

Speaker: Freak.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: And then we have Burner Boy.

Speaker: Of course.

Speaker: All right.

Speaker: Tier two.

Speaker: You can scroll up now.

Speaker: You cheaters.

Speaker: You already cheated.

Speaker: I've been sorry.

Speaker: And I'm looking at tier one.

Speaker: I ain't going to cheat.

Speaker: Oh.

Speaker: Oh my God.

Speaker: Come on.

Speaker: I need to stop watching these YouTube videos, bro.

Speaker: Anyway, all right.

Speaker: Tier 2.

Speaker: We got Big Sean, Chance the Rapper, Nicki Minaj.

Speaker: I had to put a girl in there.

Speaker: I need to put more girls in these ones.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: The next one, we're going to put some more girls in there.

Speaker: Wale, Jadakiss, and 50 Cent.

Speaker: It's on me.

Speaker: Many men.

Speaker: Dang, this is tough.

Speaker: Very tough.

Speaker: I already know who I want.

Speaker: This is tough.

Speaker: If it don't get taken.

Speaker: If it gets taken.

Speaker: Should I go with the hometown D.C., though?

Speaker: I love Jans too.

Speaker: I like you.

Speaker: All right.

Speaker: How much time you got over there?

Speaker: 10 seconds.

Speaker: He ain't got nothing left.

Speaker: I'm going Big Sean.

Speaker: Big Sean?

Speaker: Big Sean.

Speaker: Easy.

Speaker: Good pick.

Speaker: Good pick.

Speaker: And here's why I'm going Big Sean.

Speaker: Because Kanye raised him?

Speaker: No.

Speaker: I don't worry about that.

Speaker: Big Sean is in one of my top... He's probably in my top 10 favorite artists.

Speaker: Like, I...

Speaker: There's a lot of Big Sean.

Speaker: You go back and listen to his catalog and to all of his albums, bro.

Speaker: Listen to it front to back.

Speaker: He's talking about some good stuff.

Speaker: All of his earlier stuff, you had the party music and stuff.

Speaker: But even within those projects, there's a lot of good substance in what he's saying.

Speaker: And he's been consistent over the years.

Speaker: And I think I like more of his projects than I like a lot of people's on this list.

Speaker: Except for Wale.

Speaker: It was going to be between Big Sean and Wale.

Speaker: I'm going Big Sean.

Speaker: Okay.

Speaker: I'm going to be completely honest.

Speaker: Save your timer, bro.

Speaker: I'm just going to be a quick shot right here.

Speaker: I'm going Nikki.

Speaker: I'm going Nikki.

Speaker: I thought he was going DC home time.

Speaker: When I first saw Wale on that jump.

Speaker: Wait, wait, wait.

Speaker: Where are you going?

Speaker: I'm going Nikki Menard.

Speaker: You're going Nikki.

Speaker: Sorry, Sadie.

Speaker: I don't know.

Speaker: What are you talking about?

Speaker: He tried to get me to get Jadikas.

Speaker: Nah, I'm going Nicki Minaj.

Speaker: Nicki Minaj.

Speaker: Let's talk about it.

Speaker: I heard that joint.

Speaker: I was like, yeah.

Speaker: I don't want to hear nothing.

Speaker: Obviously, I've listened to Nicki throughout the years.

Speaker: But I heard that song and just... She's up there with like...

Speaker: Even my PO should call me the gingerbread man.

Speaker: 50 Cent's coming home.

Speaker: 50 Cent coming my way.

Speaker: The fact that y'all left 50 Cent on the board is actually nuts, man.

Speaker: 50 Cent?

Speaker: This is a tough one for me, bro.

Speaker: Oh, it is.

Speaker: It is.

Speaker: Because I really like... These are some of my favorite artists.

Speaker: I love Jadakiss.

Speaker: I feel like he's underrated.

Speaker: I love Wale.

Speaker: His album, Fall Lauren 2, is one of my favorite albums of all time.

Speaker: 50 Cent, Get Rich a Die trying one of my favorite albums of all time.

Speaker: Chance the Rapper, Cuddling Book, one of my favorite albums of all time.

Speaker: So hard.

Speaker: I didn't.

Speaker: That's why I put him on there.

Speaker: But y'all did.

Speaker: I did.

Speaker: I was going- I got to start thinking about my options a little longer.

Speaker: I was going based on like-

Speaker: like albums, like albums that I really like.

Speaker: Cause I don't listen to music.

Speaker: Just listen to singles.

Speaker: I listen to albums.

Speaker: So, but anyway, all right.

Speaker: All right.

Speaker: The door is back on you.

Speaker: No.

Speaker: Ye's him.

Speaker: Ye's him.

Speaker: You said Ye.

Speaker: I mean, he's him and you are you.

Speaker: Oh, definitely.

Speaker: Of course.

Speaker: I'm me and Ye's him.

Speaker: Yeah, of course.

Speaker: No, literally.

Speaker: Ye's him, man.

Speaker: Ye is the goofy dude.

Speaker: Ye is the creative savant.

Speaker: Ye is the man that's going to make you

Speaker: Talk about your mother, your daddy, your grandma, and your brother.

Speaker: That's the guy that you want next to you.

Speaker: That's your right hand man.

Speaker: That is my... I don't want Rami that's going to talk about all that.

Speaker: Yay.

Speaker: If I see yay, I'm going the other way.

Speaker: That's great.

Speaker: But, yeah, that's my lineup.

Speaker: That's my lineup.

Speaker: Kanye West, 50 Cent, Jack Harlow, Lou Uzi, and Burner Boy.

Speaker: So, leave something in the comments letting us know who you think won.

Speaker: For real.

Speaker: Put our team names.

Speaker: So, put Grandmasters, if you think I won.

Speaker: Put the Sloth Slinging Heems, if you think a new one.

Speaker: And put House of OJ, if you think OJ won.

Speaker: But I'm pretty sure I got it locked.

Speaker: Yeah, I was about to say to be honest like gentlemen y'all teams were really good selections, you know, no shade thrown at all.

Speaker: He wants to say something but deep down in my esophagus I don't think it's really close.

Speaker: You know, I really think the sloth slinging hemes took this thing to the Like we get in the ring.

Speaker: It's GGs.

Speaker: It's really no competition.

Speaker: It's no comp right now with my selection with my five.

Speaker: You can have it next year.

Speaker: I got it this year for sure, though.

Speaker: Dude, it's the fact that you can have preseason.

Speaker: Preseason?

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: You know, three little four games.

Speaker: You know what?

Speaker: You can have a summer league championship, bucko.

Speaker: I got a bubble championship, boy.

Speaker: Talking about championships and playoffs.

Speaker: Hey, this is all I'm going to say.

Speaker: This is all I'm going to say.

Speaker: After this season, y'all going to think you had a failed season.

Speaker: And with that.

Speaker: I'm merging it with this joint.

Speaker: I know y'all peaked.

Speaker: I like it.

Speaker: I know y'all peaked what they said with Giannis, man.

Speaker: That joint's vicious.

Speaker: Y'all peaked that?

Speaker: Did y'all even see that?

Speaker: Yeah, I saw it.

Speaker: Let's put it up on the screen.

Speaker: Show it to us, and let's talk about it.

Speaker: Yeah, man.

Speaker: Give it to Alex, so we can see it in the middle.

Speaker: Good sir.

Speaker: Sir, sir, sir.

Speaker: Let's turn this joint.

Speaker: Yeah, just put it out in front of you.

Speaker: Use them arms.

Speaker: You know this man, Alex with a size 13, and man, like, 5'2".

Speaker: Hey, yo.

Speaker: You going straight ahead?

Speaker: Hey, man, I'm 6'5", and I wear a size 16, so.

Speaker: He tried to squeeze in there real quick.

Speaker: Hold on, 5-2?

Speaker: That's what I do to you?

Speaker: Jesus.

Speaker: I'm about to stand up right now.

Speaker: Everybody stand up.

Speaker: But no, great segue.

Speaker: So we're about to watch this video of Giannis.

Speaker: Of course, they lost the finals to, I forgot, whoever.

Speaker: They lost the finals.

Speaker: And this reporter asked him a very, very crazy question.

Speaker: I just asked Bud the exact same question, but I'm curious for you.

Speaker: Do you view this season as a failure?

Speaker: Oh, my God.

Speaker: Clearly pissed off.

Speaker: Okay, because I'm not that up.

Speaker: You asked me the same question last year, Eric.

Speaker: Okay.

Speaker: Do you get a promotion every year on your job?

Speaker: No, right?

Speaker: So every year you work is a failure.

Speaker: Yes or no?

Speaker: No.

Speaker: Every year you work, you work towards something, towards a goal, right, which is to get a promotion, to be able to take care of your family, to be able, I don't know.

Speaker: provide the house for them or take care of your parents.

Speaker: You work towards a goal.

Speaker: It's not a failure.

Speaker: It's steps to success.

Speaker: You know, and- Great point.

Speaker: No, facts.

Speaker: No, no, I don't want to.

Speaker: I don't want to meet the person.

Speaker: So- I'm gonna pause this now.

Speaker: There's always steps to it.

Speaker: His analogies on this chon literally forced me to connect with exactly what he was saying.

Speaker: Oh, bro, he has African dad analogies, literally.

Speaker: Well, they're a meat when it comes to analogies.

Speaker: I'm sorry.

Speaker: This is kind of on a different note.

Speaker: Have y'all seen the meme where he goes, oh my God.

Speaker: Wow.

Speaker: Wow.

Speaker: That's what he did at the beginning.

Speaker: I know, I know.

Speaker: But he didn't impress me to do it.

Speaker: My God.

Speaker: Wow.

Speaker: All right, go ahead, sorry.

Speaker: Sorry.

Speaker: There's always steps to it.

Speaker: You know, Michael Jordan played 15 years, won six championships.

Speaker: The other nine years was a failure.

Speaker: Boom, right there.

Speaker: That's what you're telling me.

Speaker: That's where you got him.

Speaker: That's where you got him.

Speaker: I'm asking you a question, yes or no?

Speaker: And it's funny because the first time he was like,

Speaker: drop emotion, is that a failure?

Speaker: He answered for him.

Speaker: So it was like more of like a rhetorical question that this time he was like, no, answer my question now.

Speaker: I was like, yo, you got him looking crazy right now.

Speaker: Okay, exactly.

Speaker: So why you ask me that question?

Speaker: It's a wrong question.

Speaker: There's no failure in sports.

Speaker: You know there's good days, bad days, some days you are able to be successful, some days you're not.

Speaker: Some days it's your turn, some days it's not your turn.

Speaker: And that's what sports is about.

Speaker: You don't always win.

Speaker: Some other people are going to win.

Speaker: And this year somebody else is going to win.

Speaker: Similar to that, we're going to come back next year, try to be better, try to build good habits, try to play better, not have a ten day stretch with playing bad basketball.

Speaker: You know, and hopefully we can win a championship.

Speaker: So 50 years from 1971 to 2000.

Speaker: Who want to start off, man?

Speaker: I can kick it off.

Speaker: I think it's a good life lesson.

Speaker: Like, he's given a lot of good life lessons.

Speaker: And I can even apply it to my life right now.

Speaker: I think a lot of times...

Speaker: We focus so much on when something goes bad that we don't realize all the good that's happening in our life.

Speaker: You know what I'm saying?

Speaker: Like just because you failed one time doesn't make you a failure.

Speaker: Just because you had a mistake here doesn't mean you're going to keep making mistakes.

Speaker: You know, like you were saying, you learn from it and then you progress and you do better and you come back stronger.

Speaker: Right.

Speaker: And I think that's hard to do sometimes in life.

Speaker: Like in real life situations, especially as I'm getting older, I got a son on the way, I got a, you know, a wife and bills and all these things.

Speaker: Things are tight, things are tough.

Speaker: And it's hard sometimes to even appreciate the fact that I have all of these things and I'm blessed with so much.

Speaker: I'm blessed with, look, we in the house right now, we got the studio going and I'm, you know, thinking about how I'm gonna pay the next bill.

Speaker: It's like, nah, how about you just appreciate

Speaker: you know, what you have right now and stop thinking that, you know, life is just all bad because of, you know, the things that aren't going right in your life.

Speaker: Live in the present.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: Live in the current because, I mean, as honest and as harsh as it may sound, there's always,

Speaker: always someone that is doing far far worse than you yeah yeah and i don't mean that in a negative way saying like there's someone out there that's doing you know just doing crazy stuff it's just like you may think you're in this one stagnant place and you know i'm a child of god like we all are and i'll call it a season you know you're in a season right now and even though that season you know just like fall summer spring it's all a season like every year it is naturally going to move to a new season right so again

Speaker: just live in the present because again honestly it's so much stuff going on right now and sometimes you can probably just be moving so fast thinking about what happened last week thinking about what's going to be happening in a month that you literally miss over so many blessings that are right in your face exactly exactly so just you know no thanks man i uh it was it's crazy because it's so crazy that we're talking about this today too because

Speaker: Yesterday at work, to God be the glory, man's got four deals.

Speaker: Four deals and- Money, money, money.

Speaker: Four deals in a day.

Speaker: That's God.

Speaker: That's all God.

Speaker: None of that is me.

Speaker: That's facts.

Speaker: But man, the last deal that I got, so this was going to be the fifth one, and we do things at work called a live transfer.

Speaker: So essentially, I talked to the prospect, and I transferred over to the man that's going to take care of business.

Speaker: You know what I'm saying?

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: And I missed a number.

Speaker: So I think it was supposed to be a five and I put a four instead when I live transferred it.

Speaker: And of course, when you live transfer, it just ends on your part.

Speaker: And I messaged my guy, I'm like, hey man, you get that joint?

Speaker: He's like, no, where is it?

Speaker: I was like, what do you mean?

Speaker: I said, is this your number?

Speaker: He's like, dude, you flipped the five and four, man.

Speaker: I was like, wow.

Speaker: And bro, when I say that joint made me so upset and mad.

Speaker: This man called me yesterday mad.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: And I overlooked the other four.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: And it's like, yo, like, you got to give yourself some more credit.

Speaker: Honestly, you got to give yourself some more credit.

Speaker: And just like they say in football, you know, as a corner, you can get burnt, but you got to have amnesia.

Speaker: Because if you don't have amnesia, you're going to get burnt every other play.

Speaker: You know what I'm saying?

Speaker: That's a fact.

Speaker: So I think just people as a whole just need to give themselves some more credit and celebrate your wins.

Speaker: And watch this.

Speaker: This is going to be crazy.

Speaker: Celebrate your L's too.

Speaker: And I mean it like this.

Speaker: Celebrate your L's too because guess what?

Speaker: You woke up, you got to work, or you got to the game, or you got in front of a camera, and you did your thing.

Speaker: It's not always going to be the best, but you did it.

Speaker: If it's an L, it's an L. Celebrate that and bounce it back.

Speaker: If it's a dove, it's a dove.

Speaker: And you know how we going to celebrate that.

Speaker: So that's what I'm saying, man.

Speaker: You just got to do your thing.

Speaker: You know what we forgot to do when we started this section?

Speaker: What's up?

Speaker: We forgot to buckle up, man.

Speaker: We forgot to buckle up.

Speaker: So we must do it right now before we continue.

Speaker: Because we talking... Buckle up is every time that we bought the...

Speaker: So we're going on a journey right now.

Speaker: Every time you hop on this podcast, we're on a journey.

Speaker: We're in a car ride.

Speaker: We're taking a long boat trip, and sometimes the trip gets bumpy.

Speaker: And right now, we're in the bumpy part of the trip where you got to make sure you got your seatbelt on so that way if we somehow veer off the road, some way we get into a car crash, you stay safe.

Speaker: Hey, preach, preach up.

Speaker: Hey, preach, preach up.

Speaker: So I'm going to buckle up right now.

Speaker: Yeah, sook.

Speaker: We start talking about spicy topics that might get under some skin, but that may really open that membrane a little bit.

Speaker: We're going to buckle up.

Speaker: That was a buckle up topic.

Speaker: Wait, did we really just get pulled over and then ticketed?

Speaker: Yeah, we did.

Speaker: We got pulled over.

Speaker: Citation.

Speaker: Good thing we made it out, though.

Speaker: Yeah, facts.

Speaker: We can go there.

Speaker: Oh, man.

Speaker: Yeah, that's a little segment we're going to hit on.

Speaker: We talked about the NBA playoffs.

Speaker: We got Giannis.

Speaker: What else has been going on in the NBA playoffs?

Speaker: Dude, Dylan Brooks, man.

Speaker: Talk to me.

Speaker: Do we have that video?

Speaker: We have that?

Speaker: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker: We got this video pulled up right now, man.

Speaker: This man over here disrespecting the GOAT, the king.

Speaker: Disrespecting.

Speaker: Come on.

Speaker: I don't want to be respectful to him, too.

Speaker: Of course, of course, of course, of course.

Speaker: We're going to disrespect nobody on this podcast.

Speaker: We want to stay respectful to all parties whether we agree with nobody or not.

Speaker: Facts, facts.

Speaker: This man is wrong.

Speaker: It's two left shoes.

Speaker: But let's go.

Speaker: Hey, you!

Speaker: Come on.

Speaker: Where's the end when they say they're going to run?

Speaker: There are some people, the Lakers are making that run.

Speaker: They get it to 14.

Speaker: You and LeBron have that exchange.

Speaker: There are people out there that say maybe you shouldn't do that with one of the better players in the game.

Speaker: I guess what were you thinking?

Speaker: I don't care.

Speaker: He's old.

Speaker: God, the blasphemy.

Speaker: I mean, I was waiting for that.

Speaker: I was expecting him to do that game four, game five.

Speaker: He wanted to say something when I got my fourth foul.

Speaker: You should have been saying that earlier on.

Speaker: But, you know, I poke bears.

Speaker: I don't respect no one until they come and give me 40.

Speaker: So I pride myself on, you know, what I do is defense and take it on any challenge.

Speaker: It's just like, so here's how I feel about this, bro.

Speaker: Then I'll let y'all chime in.

Speaker: You got to pay your dues, bro.

Speaker: That's like one of us disrespecting an OG.

Speaker: That's like me disrespecting Nas.

Speaker: That's like me disrespecting Jay-Z.

Speaker: You know what I'm saying?

Speaker: That man has paved the way for you to play basketball.

Speaker: And I get you want to be the Draymond Green of your team and, you know, be the villain or what have you, bro.

Speaker: But, like, there's a way to do that and still pay homage to those who came before you.

Speaker: You don't disrespect LeBron, bro.

Speaker: You don't do that.

Speaker: Like, you know what I'm saying?

Speaker: Like, he is literally paved the way.

Speaker: And it's a matter of respect.

Speaker: And I think even seeing it in, like, this generation, bro, we don't respect those who came before us.

Speaker: Facts, facts.

Speaker: In order to be great at something.

Speaker: In order to be great at something, whether it's music, whether it's basketball, whether it's being a doctor, you've got to understand its history.

Speaker: You've got to understand its history, where it comes from, the players who were a major part of it, and how they have paved the way for you to be successful today.

Speaker: And if you don't do that, bro, then it's wrong, bro.

Speaker: Yeah, it's wrong.

Speaker: Confidence is one thing that I always would recommend anyone to have.

Speaker: Yeah, definitely.

Speaker: But it comes to a certain, it's a thin line between confidence

Speaker: and arrogance.

Speaker: And again, I know he's been getting trashed a lot lately.

Speaker: And honestly, with the most recent news, everything's been going on.

Speaker: Let's not get beside the fact Dylan Brooks is an amazing basketball player.

Speaker: Literally, he's a starter for an NBA playoff caliber team.

Speaker: But don't ever get beside yourself and arrogant and start to disrespect someone who was playing baseball

Speaker: Basketball with your father.

Speaker: No, literally.

Speaker: Literally.

Speaker: I don't know if it's hard to play in the league at all.

Speaker: I don't know.

Speaker: He's playing with a bunch of people's fathers.

Speaker: Yeah, exactly.

Speaker: LeBron is in the league doing what he did from year one to year 20.

Speaker: Exactly.

Speaker: This man is 38 years older.

Speaker: And is the GOAT.

Speaker: Do not argue with me on this.

Speaker: Wow, facts.

Speaker: Literally.

Speaker: My dad is going to have your head in the middle.

Speaker: Oh, he is?

Speaker: Yo, Pop, well, you can have mine too because MJ ain't nothing on LeBron.

Speaker: Nothing.

Speaker: Yeah, I'm going to say it.

Speaker: Pops, I love you, Pops.

Speaker: Yeah, me too.

Speaker: But he ain't got nothing on Bronski.

Speaker: Dude.

Speaker: He's going to be here in a week.

Speaker: I can't wait for this.

Speaker: He said, if you see me in the forest fighting a bear.

Speaker: Hey, no, no, no.

Speaker: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker: Help the bear.

Speaker: Help the bear.

Speaker: That's crazy.

Speaker: Don't help me.

Speaker: Help the bear.

Speaker: And it's so funny because in little Dylan Brooks joint, he said,

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: Hey, Bron, get in the studio, fool.

Speaker: Literally.

Speaker: Literally.

Speaker: Literally.

Speaker: Get in the studio.

Speaker: Literally.

Speaker: Hey, man, I'll say it all, man.

Speaker: I ain't going to hold you.

Speaker: Put some respect on my man's names.

Speaker: That's why he took care of you.

Speaker: He don't even need to do the talking.

Speaker: He took care of you.

Speaker: On to the next.

Speaker: On to the next thing.

Speaker: Stats speak for themselves.

Speaker: Exactly.

Speaker: This man is the all-time leading scorer ever in the NBA.

Speaker: Exactly.

Speaker: What have you done?

Speaker: Right.

Speaker: Right.

Speaker: You know what I'm saying?

Speaker: You can't.

Speaker: You're not Kevin Durant.

Speaker: You're not Kareem.

Speaker: Keep going.

Speaker: Keep going.

Speaker: Call him alone.

Speaker: No, you're not.

Speaker: You're not Jordan.

Speaker: No, you're not.

Speaker: You're not these people.

Speaker: One more.

Speaker: One more.

Speaker: One more.

Speaker: Oh, my God.

Speaker: Not to say if he done put in the work, he can't get there.

Speaker: But, like, show some respect.

Speaker: Yeah, yeah, for real.

Speaker: For real.

Speaker: No, for real, man.

Speaker: And to be completely honest, too, it's really crazy.

Speaker: And I'm just going to say, like, LeBron is the GOAT.

Speaker: And I'm going to say this and I'm leaving it at this.

Speaker: I love how I keep bringing it up.

Speaker: I got to.

Speaker: I got to.

Speaker: Because.

Speaker: Yes, the league was so much more tougher back then.

Speaker: It is.

Speaker: And honestly, the refs make this league so soft now.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: But.

Speaker: There's more talent and athleticism in today's sports, which is really what saves you.

Speaker: So, we're going to save a lot of that.

Speaker: We're going to save it.

Speaker: I was talking to my dad about this other day.

Speaker: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker: And he got upset.

Speaker: He sent me a lot of messages.

Speaker: I'm sure when he gets here next week for the baby shower, we're going to have a good conversation.

Speaker: We're going to have a drink and a stogie.

Speaker: We're going to be having some good conversations.

Speaker: Wait, so is Dylan Brooks on the team?

Speaker: So, he's no longer –

Speaker: The Grizzlies said under no circumstances will he be back with us next year.

Speaker: And I honestly don't think – I think there was some stuff going on behind the scenes.

Speaker: I think they tried to offer him some contract extensions.

Speaker: They couldn't agree on the deal.

Speaker: So I think this is – it just happened at this time.

Speaker: You know what I'm saying?

Speaker: That's crazy.

Speaker: Dang.

Speaker: I mean, I'm more than welcome to have him on the Wizards.

Speaker: You know, pull up.

Speaker: Bro, we do need help.

Speaker: First the commanders, now the Wizards.

Speaker: Hey, hold on, cuz.

Speaker: DC defenders.

Speaker: Folks from United.

Speaker: XFL against.

Speaker: Championships.

Speaker: Dallas renegades.

Speaker: We're in there.

Speaker: Oh, my God.

Speaker: Where's it at?

Speaker: It's on Mother's Day weekend, though.

Speaker: We got a baby shower.
