Speaker: He was on the Clippers, right?
Speaker: Yes, bro.
Speaker: They traded that man back to the team he said he never wanted to play for again.
Speaker: I seen a clip on that, and I said, yo, that's really wild.
Speaker: Because John – I said John Cass.
Speaker: John Wall was on a podcast.
Speaker: I forgot for some players, and he was really breaking down his time in Houston.
Speaker: Yeah, it was trash.
Speaker: But, yeah, nah.
Speaker: I feel the same way, bro.
Speaker: I went to bed one night, woke up the next day, and I'm not even a big NBA.
Speaker: I'm more NFL.
Speaker: But when I tell you, bro, I'm a hooper, too.
Speaker: So left and right, I saw, I think it was in the course of 48, 72 hours, bro.
Speaker: LeBron,
Speaker: Then the trades, I mean, it was crazy.
Speaker: It still is crazy.
Speaker: Yeah, it is.
Speaker: Super team.
Speaker: Yeah, the West is looking stacked.
Speaker: And I feel like this all happened after John Morant was like, yeah, I'm straight in the West.
Speaker: Now you got – it's a lot.
Speaker: It's a lot in the West.
Speaker: KD, Kyrie, LeBron, all in the West.
Speaker: You know what I'm saying?
Speaker: That's – and look, that team – so Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, and Chris Paul –
Speaker: That's crazy.
Speaker: DeAndre Ayton.
Speaker: And DeAndre Ayton.
Speaker: And guess what?
Speaker: What?
Speaker: Guess what they trying to get.
Speaker: Oh.
Speaker: It ain't no crazy name, but they trying to get Melo.
Speaker: That might be good for him.
Speaker: Chris Paul was trying to get Melo the thing.
Speaker: I'm telling you, bro.
Speaker: Chris Paul might get a ring.
Speaker: He literally might, bro.
Speaker: He need one slump.
Speaker: Yeah, he do.
Speaker: Let's forget, bro.
Speaker: We over here talking about all these other superstars.
Speaker: We forgot about one of the main ones, bro.
Speaker: Who?
Speaker: Ross.
Speaker: Oh, that man.
Speaker: Utah, bro.
Speaker: I think.
Speaker: Did they buy him out of his contract?
Speaker: I don't know.
Speaker: We have to look at that.
Speaker: I don't know.
Speaker: Not yet.
Speaker: I don't think so.
Speaker: I don't.
Speaker: See, let's talk about this for a second.
Speaker: I don't.
Speaker: I don't like all of Russ Slander, bro.
Speaker: Yeah, but he— I get it.
Speaker: I get it.
Speaker: He's bought into it.
Speaker: That man is a human, bro.
Speaker: Y'all be disrespecting the dog Dookie out of that man, boy.
Speaker: I wanted to say something else, but I forgot we on the podcast.
Speaker: I fear y'all.
Speaker: I'm picking up what you're putting down.
Speaker: Yes, sir.
Speaker: Picking up what you're putting down.
Speaker: Yeah, they really disrespect him.
Speaker: But, like, the game that, like, LeBron had the scoring title, he scored like – he almost had a triple-double or something.
Speaker: So, like, he had, like, 27 points, 10 and 9, like, something like that, right?
Speaker: That's a good stat line off the bench.
Speaker: You know what I'm saying?
Speaker: Maybe he just wasn't a fit for the Lakers, but, like, don't disrespect that, man.
Speaker: That's a Hall of Famer.
Speaker: You know what I'm saying?
Speaker: Easily.
Speaker: That's a Hall of Famer, bro.
Speaker: That might have been his last game with him, too.
Speaker: I think he, yeah.
Speaker: He may play one or two more.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: Yeah, but.
Speaker: I love Russ, bro.
Speaker: I love Russ.
Speaker: He's a dog, bro.
Speaker: Yeah, bro.
Speaker: Like, I low-key molded my game off Russ when I hoop.
Speaker: You're a bully.
Speaker: I'm over here like, yo, Mouse in the house, Slim.
Speaker: Give me the rock on the block.
Speaker: I played with Alex one time.
Speaker: Oh, yeah.
Speaker: Let's talk about this because I got something to say about you, too.
Speaker: We got to get back in it.
Speaker: We got to get back hooping, man.
Speaker: It's been a minute.
Speaker: That's another outlet.
Speaker: I've been coaching.
Speaker: Yeah, that is another outlet.
Speaker: Yeah, coaching them little superstars.
Speaker: I don't want to talk about it.
Speaker: I'm not going to disrespect them in the podcast.
Speaker: I'm not going to disrespect them in the podcast.
Speaker: I'm not going to do it, bro.
Speaker: I'm not going to do it.
Speaker: It's so much backstory going on that we know, but we just don't.
Speaker: He's like, I'm going to get disrespectful.
Speaker: No, no, I'm not going to get disrespectful.
Speaker: He coaches some little rock stars.
Speaker: These dudes are going to the league.
Speaker: What's wrong with this man, bro?
Speaker: I'm trying to get it out of you.
Speaker: All right, let's go and push forward.
Speaker: No, but, bro, so I played basketball with this man one time.
Speaker: And mind you, Alex is like, how tall are you?
Speaker: Five, six foot, six two.
Speaker: All right, now this man is- Nah, I'm a good like five, 10, five, 11.
Speaker: This man is five, 10, five, 11.
Speaker: I'm like six two, six three, right?
Speaker: So I'm thinking, I know he played college basketball and stuff, so I'm like, yeah, we really about to run.
Speaker: And we didn't lose a game that day.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: But this is the first time I actually seen him play.
Speaker: And this is the first time you see me play.
Speaker: The first time we played together.
Speaker: We was with him.
Speaker: And our other man, Jesse, too.
Speaker: Shout out Jesse.
Speaker: He was getting a bugger that day, too.
Speaker: And Jesse, I played high school basketball with him.
Speaker: We've been playing basketball for a lot of years.
Speaker: So I already knew what he was bringing.
Speaker: But we was warming up.
Speaker: And this man, Alex, took off.
Speaker: He took off.
Speaker: And he got up there.
Speaker: You hadn't played in a while.
Speaker: And he almost dunked it.
Speaker: But, like, his head was up there.
Speaker: I was like, wait a minute, bro.
Speaker: I miss it, bro.
Speaker: I was like, I didn't know this man had it like that.
Speaker: Then we started running fives.
Speaker: And this man was playing bully ball.
Speaker: Like, I'm talking about going against 6'5", 6'6", dudes.
Speaker: At 5'10", just moving them out the way on fast breaks.
Speaker: Lay up.
Speaker: Lay up.
Speaker: Fast break specialist, bro.
Speaker: I freaking love it.
Speaker: Oh, yeah.
Speaker: I was like, yeah, every time I get this done, I'm throwing it down there.
Speaker: We got an easy bucket.
Speaker: Bro, it's nothing like hoop.
Speaker: It's nothing like...
Speaker: Being with your bros and y'all all play the same sport.
Speaker: That's like y'all playing all football and you're like, oh, yo, we about to go do seven on seven.
Speaker: Let's pull up.
Speaker: Oh, I got a plug.
Speaker: I got a plug.
Speaker: I'm going to let you know.
Speaker: But no, I got a flat football plug.
Speaker: We're going to figure it out.
Speaker: Nah, like we know, we was all just talking like, oh, let's hoop, let's hoop.
Speaker: And mentally you don't really know like, all right, bro, that's my bro, but he probably not that good.
Speaker: I'm not saying that they were not good at all, but I'm just, you always want to just gauge like if, I'll say this for instance, I can look at someone and be like, all right, bro, they nice.
Speaker: So when Adair, our boy Adair, when someone told me he played basketball, I automatically was like, yeah, he's not a bucket, bro.
Speaker: He's not going to get a bucket.
Speaker: I wish he was here, bro.
Speaker: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker: He probably be trying to cut me.
Speaker: I was like, bro, I just don't see basketball.
Speaker: Now, Jesse and Trey, I'm like, they both have the physique for basketball.
Speaker: I know this man's from Maryland.
Speaker: And he went to one of my rival high schools.
Speaker: So I knew he was elite.
Speaker: Jesse, I could tell he was an athlete.
Speaker: I mean, this man is a hybrid between a basketball and football player.
Speaker: Swollen colon, and he gets a bucket, bro.
Speaker: So I'm like, all right, bro, this is going to be some good bomb.
Speaker: But I was like, you know, they never really seen me hoop.
Speaker: So we went out there, had a good old time.
Speaker: Bro, when I tell you.
Speaker: I don't know what story you're about to tell.
Speaker: Oh, you should know.
Speaker: It's about you.
Speaker: Oh, okay.
Speaker: I've seen a lot of ankle breakers.
Speaker: I'm gonna be honest, bro.
Speaker: I've seen, you know, Allen Iverson.
Speaker: I've seen a lot of- I would have compared that to that, bro.
Speaker: I've seen, and Mark Newell, I'm not even trying to say this because I'm just trying to boost him up on a podcast, bro, this joint was lethal.
Speaker: You know what?
Speaker: Word of the day.
Speaker: This joint was immaculate.
Speaker: Immaculate.
Speaker: Immaculate.
Speaker: we again this is probably like our sixth game we didn't we didn't lose we didn't lose so keep in mind i think we lost the last game because it was like tired we just dumb tired like we played like not eight or nine games and mind you like we're playing games we're running running running teams just coming on fresh and all they can do is run a gun because they know this is our fifth sixth consecutive game so we tired bro
Speaker: This is like two points away from game point.
Speaker: It was a layup.
Speaker: Actually, no.
Speaker: It was a dime.
Speaker: I didn't even score it.
Speaker: I didn't even score it.
Speaker: Let me break this down.
Speaker: I'm going to be quick with this one.
Speaker: Young, so I tell you, bro.
Speaker: I'm going to compare this to bowling.
Speaker: Y'all know bowling, right?
Speaker: You know, you get the ball, you bowl it down, you hit all the pins, and the pins fall low.
Speaker: This man is on a fast break, dribbling down with his right hand.
Speaker: So, you know, the dude's trying to sneak up behind him, too.
Speaker: So he's got a fast break, caught it over his right shoulder.
Speaker: A few dribbles.
Speaker: You see Cus coming up, like, trying to sneak up on him.
Speaker: Meanwhile, he has a defender coming, you know, he's approaching the defender, and he's coming, you know, they're meeting each other at half court.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: I don't know what this man saw about three seconds before the play started, but this man knew like I was going to be in this spot.
Speaker: Jesse was going to be in that spot in about five seconds.
Speaker: But when I tell you this man had the meanest, the angry, like this man literally has some anger built up in him.
Speaker: Like you don't even know these two dudes.
Speaker: He dropped them both.
Speaker: That's all I'm going to say, bro.
Speaker: He dropped it.
Speaker: I really wish him recorded it.
Speaker: He was on a spin move, too.
Speaker: Yeah, literally.
Speaker: Approaching him.
Speaker: He saw him coming off his right, off his left hip.
Speaker: Man hits.
Speaker: He surprised himself.
Speaker: Yeah, I did.
Speaker: I did.
Speaker: This man hit one dribble, the fastest spin.
Speaker: This thing was so fast, bro, he literally almost fell over.
Speaker: Yeah, I did.
Speaker: I did.
Speaker: I tripped a little bit.
Speaker: So, literally, he literally spun.
Speaker: Both of the dudes, like a cartoon, both fell.
Speaker: This man literally is like, he's in a three-point stance.
Speaker: Like, he's playing football at this point.
Speaker: The ball is loose.
Speaker: This man controls the spin, grabs the ball, throws it over his right shoulder to a wide-open three-pointer, bro.
Speaker: I don't think that was game.
Speaker: Nah, it was just... But I guarantee you, we stopped playing at that play for a good two minutes.
Speaker: Bro, I turned around, and all I see is Alex taking off his shirt and throwing it in the air.
Speaker: And I saw a lot of... I ran around the gym.
Speaker: I definitely lost some calories, bro.
Speaker: And it was...
Speaker: And I didn't play basketball in a minute at that point.
Speaker: It was just instinct, bro.
Speaker: It was just instinct.
Speaker: It was the spin, the loss, control, dime over the shoulder.
Speaker: No look.
Speaker: That's what I'm saying.
Speaker: Like, he knew where we were going to be at, bro.
Speaker: No look.
Speaker: Cashed out.
Speaker: I said, yo.
Speaker: This dude is immaculate, bro.
Speaker: Let me get your autograph.
Speaker: Bro, that joint was elite.
Speaker: I don't know if I got it like that.
Speaker: We got it.
Speaker: Yeah, we got to get back in there.
Speaker: We got to get back in there.
Speaker: That joint was tough, though.
Speaker: But, yeah.
Speaker: I miss it, bro.
Speaker: I'm telling you.
Speaker: But now, all these trades, bro, it's literally crazy.
Speaker: So let's go LeBron, bro.
Speaker: So LeBron has beat Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, a record that nobody thought would ever be broken, and he is the NBA's all-time leading scorer.
Speaker: And you don't really think of LeBron as a scorer, but he's just been playing basketball at such a high level for 20 years that it was bound to happen.
Speaker: Now, this brings up the question.
Speaker: We might as well tell it, bro.
Speaker: Might as well.
Speaker: I got my answer.
Speaker: LeBron or Jordan?
Speaker: LBJ, baby.
Speaker: Sorry.
Speaker: Now, up until I saw LeBron break the record, I was like, Jordan is the best.
Speaker: Right?
Speaker: Jordan is the best.
Speaker: But you can't argue with statistics, bro.
Speaker: You really can't.
Speaker: This man is like first in so many different categories.
Speaker: He's in year 20 and playing like he's 20.
Speaker: You know what I'm saying?
Speaker: It's just like it's hard to combat the statistics.
Speaker: I can't give an answer because I have family members that might murder me.
Speaker: But I'm saying it's worth – it is definitely worth, like, if you are a huge Michael Jordan and people say he has more rings, he's more of a dog, he's this, that, and the third.
Speaker: I think if LeBron is a more complete all-around basketball player, he can –
Speaker: He can score at all three levels.
Speaker: He can pass with the best of them.
Speaker: You know, his basketball IQ.
Speaker: He can rebound.
Speaker: He can play like all – he can do everything on the floor.
Speaker: You know what I'm saying?
Speaker: So, I don't know, man.
Speaker: And he's been doing it for such a long time.
Speaker: You know what I'm saying?
Speaker: Like, he's been doing this when some people have been in and out of the league.
Speaker: Yeah, and he's playing against like – he played against people's fathers and is now playing the sons.
Speaker: Like, that's crazy, bro.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: LeBron has always been my GOAT, man.
Speaker: I'm going to be honest.
Speaker: And I mean, when I say GOAT, I mean on... I'm not going to say... He's been my GOAT on and off the floor, but I know people only care about what's on the floor.
Speaker: Like, this man grew up with no father.
Speaker: Yeah, it's facts.
Speaker: And it's a immaculate father figure.
Speaker: That's high like that, for sure.
Speaker: Like, that's another reason why he's my GOAT.
Speaker: Has a beautiful woman.
Speaker: He got a kid.
Speaker: He got a school.
Speaker: Yeah, like a school.
Speaker: He does so much.
Speaker: And talk about Russ getting backlash.
Speaker: Like, Bron get... And that just proves, like...
Speaker: As long as you're great and you're doing something that many people are not able to do, people are going to hate you for no reason.
Speaker: And you can't do what he does, bro.
Speaker: That man is a billionaire still playing in the NBA.
Speaker: Let's take that in for a second.
Speaker: He's a billionaire.
Speaker: He is a billionaire and he'll still go get buckets on you.
Speaker: Immaculate.
Speaker: Like, that's crazy, bro.
Speaker: This man will dunk on you.
Speaker: We're going to be here.
Speaker: We're going to keep PG.
Speaker: He gonna put them things right there on your shoulder, boy.
Speaker: Go for the leg.
Speaker: Go for the bang, bang.
Speaker: He was about to volley.
Speaker: I was, Slim.
Speaker: I had to slow it down real quick.
Speaker: Nah, bro.
Speaker: It just come down to stats.
Speaker: Like, to be honest.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: You know, rest in peace to one of by far the greatest, Kobe.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: I think he is the only person that would have gave LeBron bump.
Speaker: Because I think Kobe would have bypassed everyone on that list.
Speaker: Wait, you don't think Michael Jordan would give LeBron bump?
Speaker: I'm saying.
Speaker: I'm saying in regards to like stats on that list.
Speaker: Those are by far the three goats.
Speaker: I don't want no problem with this.
Speaker: Yeah, I don't want to.
Speaker: I mean, some people will put Kareem in that conversation.
Speaker: Some people will put Magic Johnson in it.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: I would agree with you, though.
Speaker: For me, it'd be LeBron, Kobe.
Speaker: Oh, it'd be – I'm not going to – no order.
Speaker: Sorry.
Speaker: You got to say that.
Speaker: You got to say that.
Speaker: It'd be LeBron, Mike, and Kobe.
Speaker: It's my top three for sure.
Speaker: And copy and paste.
Speaker: I would literally say the exact same thing.
Speaker: LeBron, Michael, and Kobe.
Speaker: And the main debate that a lot of people are saying, too, you know, is –
Speaker: If he's the gold, then how come, you know, he didn't make it to the playoffs this year?
Speaker: How come he didn't win his team?
Speaker: Yada, yada.
Speaker: A lot of people.
Speaker: What more do you want from this?
Speaker: He went to 10 straight finals and won four.
Speaker: Like, I get it.
Speaker: That's under 500 or whatever, but, like,
Speaker: Who cares?
Speaker: Man, what's in the finals, bro?
Speaker: Ten straight finals is not easy.
Speaker: Mind you, he's – here's what I don't like with people.
Speaker: Like, this is the best basketball that anybody's ever seen.
Speaker: Like, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker: Like, it's more evolved from the 90s.
Speaker: It's more evolved from the 2000s.
Speaker: It's more evolved – it's like – and you're going against the Golden State Warriors, bro?
Speaker: What?
Speaker: In a seven-game series?
Speaker: That's not no easy feat.
Speaker: To go 10 times And win four bro That's crazy You got Stephanie Come on Slump You call her Stephanie I call her Stephanie Don't let me get loose on this Yo That bitch got me loose He goose What's the word that OJ used What He used like Last week Some endorphin Something word I don't know Made you loose Aphrodisiac There we go Aphrodisiac I ain't saying that word Aphrodisiac That man is vicious for that
Speaker: Oh, my gosh.
Speaker: But, nah, like, this man is the gold, bro.
Speaker: It's literally nothing to argue about at this point anymore.
Speaker: And he's going to be in the league for another three years.
Speaker: Here's what I'm going to say.
Speaker: Because he's waiting for his son.
Speaker: Yeah, he is.
Speaker: I think he's going to play at least – he got three to five more years in it.
Speaker: And that's scary, bro.
Speaker: That's scary.
Speaker: That's literally scary.
Speaker: This man is 38 years old, bro.
Speaker: That's crazy.
Speaker: Well, listen, we'll just leave it at this.
Speaker: Michael Jordan is the best of the 90s Kobe is the best of the 2000s LeBron is the best of the 2010s and we still in 2020 and this man still might be the best player on the floor at any given time yes we got KD out there we got Giannis we got Jokic it's a lot of good players but we'll see who the best of the decade is you got Greg Trey too that spin move that spin move put you up there I ain't got nothing on them dudes that spin move put you up there I appreciate the confidence bro
Speaker: But them dudes would dog me.
Speaker: Easy.
Speaker: Dog all of us, bro.
Speaker: With one hand tied behind their back.
Speaker: And that's what goes back to what you're saying.
Speaker: Like, everybody loves to, like, talk, you know, about these dudes and they can't do this and this, that, and the third.
Speaker: And I always have something to say.
Speaker: But you literally, you don't know what it takes for them to go out there every night and put on a show.
Speaker: Like, you can't do that.
Speaker: You couldn't last a day on this shoot.
Speaker: No.
Speaker: If you would, you'd be doing it.
Speaker: So shut up.
Speaker: Something about like four workouts a day.
Speaker: I mean, half of y'all can't even stop eating a cheeseburger every day.
Speaker: I'm telling you, you're like, oh, damn, I haven't had five guys.
Speaker: I'm like, yo, these dudes are.
Speaker: That man spends like a couple million dollars on his body.
Speaker: I literally was about to say that, bro.
Speaker: You took it out of me.
Speaker: That's crazy to me, bro.
Speaker: Legit, bro.
Speaker: This man's- A year.
Speaker: Yes.
Speaker: Just think about, hey, that's a lot of- That's why he's so great.
Speaker: Commitment, bro.
Speaker: Like you're doing, you're spending people's salaries for 10 years on just treatment for your body each year.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Year.
Speaker: So, I mean, this man, he doing everything right, man.
Speaker: He's great on and off the court.
Speaker: Black excellence.
Speaker: Speaking of black excellence.
Speaker: February.
Speaker: It's February.
Speaker: I think this episode is going to come out in February.
Speaker: But even if it don't, it don't matter if it's February.
Speaker: Now we celebrate black history 365.
Speaker: You know that.
Speaker: Suck it to me.
Speaker: Suck it to me one more time.
Speaker: Oh, baby.
Speaker: Oh, ski ski month.
Speaker: I go a puff of war.
Speaker: Jesus Christ.
Speaker: Nah, bro.
Speaker: It's Black History Month.
Speaker: But like I said, we celebrate all year round.
Speaker: Being as though it's Black History Month.
Speaker: Let's go.
Speaker: Let's hop into it.
Speaker: Let's talk about something, bro.
Speaker: I feel like we always, a lot of times we focus on the struggles and oppression of being black.
Speaker: Right?
Speaker: We hear about that a lot.
Speaker: That we don't celebrate black.
Speaker: the positives and kind of the best things about our culture, right?
Speaker: We talk about injustice and police brutality and, you know, systemic racism and things like that.
Speaker: So much negativity surrounding, you know, black.
Speaker: Those are all, you know, those are all, you know, important and valid, right?
Speaker: But I also want to celebrate just our culture and, you know, what, so I pose a question, bro.
Speaker: What is your favorite thing about black culture, bro?
Speaker: You know what?
Speaker: I'm actually gonna, I'm gonna let you take this one first.
Speaker: You want me to go first?
Speaker: I'm gonna let you take it first.
Speaker: I had my answer already locked and loaded, so I hope and pray.
Speaker: You've been preparing for this.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: So my favorite thing about black culture is the family aspect.
Speaker: And here's what I, and I see this a lot in my own family, like just going back generations and generations, just the, and I'm not, this is, I mean, and I've seen this in other people's families as well, but like I said, I can only tell my story, right?
Speaker: In our culture, bro, we have like an open door policy.
Speaker: Like if you need help, you need food, you need whatever, like there's always like a matriarch, right?
Speaker: Or like a patriarch that's gonna always open the door for you and be like, yeah, I'll give you.
Speaker: And that person for me was like, you know, my nana, right?
Speaker: She had an open-door policy, whatever you needed.
Speaker: If you needed your kids babysat, bro, she was going to be there.
Speaker: So I appreciate that about our coaches that we're so loving and caring.
Speaker: And when we come together, we know how to have a good time.
Speaker: You know, sometimes stuff can get out of hand.
Speaker: Sometimes.
Speaker: Yeah, but one thing I appreciate about our culture is that when we do come together and it's all love and nobody is, you know, on, you know, that type of time or whatever.
Speaker: When we come together and it's all love, it's a beautiful thing, bro.
Speaker: You're laughing.
Speaker: You're together.
Speaker: You're having fun.
Speaker: You guys are sharing a meal.
Speaker: You guys are playing cards, having a drink.
Speaker: Like, those are some of my favorite moments growing up, bro.
Speaker: Like, just...
Speaker: being around and like listening to old heads talk about you know whatever and kind of gaining that wisdom like when we when we come together so i'll sum it up by saying my favorite thing about our culture is that when we come together it's beautiful right when we're when we're divided
Speaker: it's it's a complete opposite yeah it's destruction bro but when we come together it's beautiful and i think we need to do a little bit more coming together and take what we do in those intimate settings and put it out into a more public space for the world to see you know so you got me over in my fields bro
Speaker: Nah, no cap.
Speaker: Like, just literally, this man got me thinking I'm missing Thanksgiving right now.
Speaker: Those family gatherings when it's like, you know, just nothing but love.
Speaker: That old school music playing, bro, that 90s on beat.
Speaker: You got uncles over here arguing about who was better back in the day.
Speaker: You know, that is irreplaceable.
Speaker: I would literally say, like, those family moments and memories, they're strictly irreplaceable, bro.
Speaker: You can't...
Speaker: Those are times you just wish you can go back to.
Speaker: Yeah, bro.
Speaker: Like, man, you know.
Speaker: Hey, nephew.
Speaker: Hey.
Speaker: Hey, what's up, nephew?
Speaker: Who that over there?
Speaker: That's your girl right there?
Speaker: Yeah, yeah.
Speaker: I see nephew like, I'll go.
Speaker: Go put your little Jesus sandals on and go on the grill or something.
Speaker: But those are definitely some solid memories.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: I would, um.
Speaker: I would say my favorite thing about black culture is black love, man.
Speaker: Come on, man.
Speaker: I'm sorry.
Speaker: I'm a lover boy.
Speaker: And I will say it, bro.
Speaker: I wear my heart on my chest.
Speaker: I wear my heart on my chest, man.
Speaker: Black love is undeniable.
Speaker: You know?
Speaker: And I'm gonna just say this as a disclaimer, like I have literally nothing against biracial relationships.
Speaker: I have a ton, I have a trillion of friends who are in biracial relationships and I support them to the world and back.
Speaker: But it's just something about black love.
Speaker: Like y'all have a similar story with that out of y'all control.
Speaker: Like y'all are just, it's black love.
Speaker: You understand each other's struggle.
Speaker: You understand each other's struggles, you know, going back to before you even born, just daily routines, like hair products and just, I mean, literally the littlest things to the biggest things.
Speaker: And it's just a beautiful thing.
Speaker: It's something like you in love or something.
Speaker: I've been in love.
Speaker: I've been in love.
Speaker: I've been in love.
Speaker: I'ma be in love.
Speaker: I love my, okay.
Speaker: All right, hey, let me get some studio time.
Speaker: Let me get some studio time.
Speaker: That was horrible.
Speaker: And the tempo was a little rough.
Speaker: I like where you go with this black love thing, bro.
Speaker: Nah, bro.
Speaker: But it's just like, you know, it's just something that it's legit irreplaceable.
Speaker: You know, you really can't get that everywhere.
Speaker: And, you know, there's something about a black woman understanding a black man.
Speaker: and being there for him do anything and vice versa flip it around it's something about a black man just being there for a black woman you know listening to her daily struggles and you know just her daily routines and just being able to you know coexist and understand each other at a deeper level like it's something about that that science and just you know it's just it's special it's just special we love black women bro we love our we love our black women we love our black queens
Speaker: on the TOS podcast.
Speaker: Our moms, our grandmothers, our wives, our pre-onses, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker: Because we understand how unprotected they are in America at times.
Speaker: Black men, we definitely have a lot that we face as black men.
Speaker: And I also think about, I'm about to have a black son and having to have- Beautiful black son.
Speaker: Let's get it.
Speaker: Yeah, he's gonna be beautiful.
Speaker: He's going to get a look from his mama.
Speaker: All right, get a look from his mama.
Speaker: This man just called me ugly on the line.
Speaker: That's crazy.
Speaker: That's crazy.
Speaker: But nah, bro, just like, because me and Megan were talking about this the other day.
Speaker: I want to get back into Black Queens, but.
Speaker: Me and Megan were talking about this the other day.
Speaker: I had the talk about being black in America and driving while black before I had the sex talk.
Speaker: You know what I'm saying?
Speaker: It's crazy.
Speaker: And that's kind of crazy, right?
Speaker: Just for being a human and being in my own skin, I had to have that conversation before anything else.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: Those are those are real conversations that I'm gonna have to have my son and unfortunately, you know, it's 2023 and we're still dealing with those things right but back to black Queens right just speaking on my My mom speaking on my wife speaking on my mom's mom, right?
Speaker: I mean not my mom's mom but also my wife's mom like
Speaker: It really takes a strong woman.
Speaker: Like, they really are the backbones of the household, bro.
Speaker: One more time.
Speaker: One more time.
Speaker: Run that back.
Speaker: Scott, you got to say that again.
Speaker: They are the backbones of the household, bro.
Speaker: Like, you know your father, right, as the firm one, the stern one.
Speaker: But, like, even when your father get out of hand, he know that he got an answer to her.
Speaker: You know what I'm saying?
Speaker: Like, I remember times where...
Speaker: I'm telling you.
Speaker: It's a fact, man.
Speaker: I'm telling you.
Speaker: I remember times where, you know, my dad would be upset about something and, you know, my mom would be the one to, like, defuse the situation and say, no, we're not doing this in my house.
Speaker: We're not doing this in my house.
Speaker: I will not have division in my house.
Speaker: Y'all can take y'all time.
Speaker: Y'all take the time that y'all need, but we're going to come back together and we're going to talk about this.
Speaker: So,
Speaker: It takes a really, you know, strong woman to, you know, be the backbone of a household and also just all the sacrifices that they do.
Speaker: They sacrifice their time.
Speaker: They sacrifice money.
Speaker: They sacrifice their well-being.
Speaker: They will...
Speaker: Like you're saying, the list goes on, bro.
Speaker: Sacrifice everything.
Speaker: They'll make sure you're fed before they even have a meal.
Speaker: You know what I'm saying?
Speaker: I'm not saying other cultures don't do that, but I'm saying this is what I seen in the black woman in my family.
Speaker: They're strong, bro.
Speaker: They are the strongest people that I know.
Speaker: They're the strongest people that I know.
Speaker: And it's no close second, bro.
Speaker: It's literally, they're the strongest.
Speaker: The most beautiful.
Speaker: Let me start.
Speaker: this my baby but nah man like i said black and now i'm just gonna say forget woman black queens black queen you know and there's a lot of it's a queen in every race but again i'm just focusing on you know black history month so it's just like we got to give our black black queens their flowers now
Speaker: And I think we got to do a better job as black men of really valuing, you know, and not taking those things for granted.
Speaker: Because it's easy to take it for granted.
Speaker: Like, we just expect it now.
Speaker: Like, they don't have to do that.
Speaker: You know what I'm saying?
Speaker: They don't have to do that.
Speaker: And, you know, I have a little sister.
Speaker: And, you know, just I have a lot of conversations with her about her value, right?
Speaker: And not letting just people take advantage of her.
Speaker: No little boy.
Speaker: And understanding that she's a black woman in America and things like that.
Speaker: So, yeah.
Speaker: And she's going to grow up to be a strong black woman.
Speaker: Right.
Speaker: She's already a strong young black woman, but she's going to grow up to be a strong woman with a family and all that.
Speaker: So I get emotional.
Speaker: I keep talking about this, man.
Speaker: I see my voice breaking and stuff.
Speaker: It's real, though, bro.
Speaker: Like if y'all if y'all have the audacity to tap into this podcast, you should know, like, it's going to be a real conversation.
Speaker: We're going to have some fun, a little breaking of bread, a little spin move and hooping, but it's really going to get real on every episode.
Speaker: The audacity.
Speaker: I'm telling you, bro.
Speaker: It's immaculate.
Speaker: Immaculate is the word of the day, bro.
