0:00

Uh, your second favorite team will be in Inglewood

0:02

next year?

0:03

Who he said?

0:04

Who they

0:07

should?

0:07

Just you know as they go down the ingle would

0:10

keep going, hit

0:14

that full five. Get

0:16

back to San Diego.

0:17

Keep going, Charges with you, Chargers

0:21

0:32

Man.

0:33

We back unplugged our weekly

0:35

look around to see what's happening, Jack, what's

0:37

going on out there?

0:37

To the letter, baby man, cool and nice weather. Ready

0:40

to get out to the West coast this weekend. How you doing,

0:42

you? Wether says,

0:44

I ain't gona actually how you doing? I'm just glad that you found

0:46

a possum after you moved out.

0:48

Let me say that crazy bro I was

0:50

moving out the newke out the old crib and a possum

0:52

snuck it, and that motherfuckers ready for war had me

0:54

on the counter with golf clubs cussing it out.

0:57

You know they can climb, right, they can climb

0:59

and jump and motherfuckers hissing, had big

1:01

clause.

1:02

It was.

1:02

It was all bad, but luckily we both lived

1:04

to see another day. Well, Jack, we want to welcome

1:06

definitely a friend to the program and our

1:08

brother, but someone you're really close to.

1:10

So I'm gonna let you do the honors.

1:12

One and only legend, pioneer

1:15

in many ways. Uh, somebody who I consider

1:18

a big brother, who definitely then

1:21

put me in a position with something

1:23

great, the Big Three, one of

1:25

the biggest leagues in the world.

1:27

So welcome to our show again.

1:29

A friend and family member of the show, the

1:31

honorable Ice Cube.

1:34

What's that?

1:35

Yeah, yay, you made you

1:37

made headlines last week some information

1:39

that leaked and you wanted to get ahead of it.

1:42

You announced that you guys had worked

1:45

out at a possibility to offer

1:47

Kaitlyn Clark a big deal

1:49

with the Big Three. Can you give

1:51

us the details on that? And uh, how'd

1:54

that come about?

1:55

We made off for a

1:57

couple of weeks ago, and

2:01

and you know, we was hoping to hear something

2:04

back and we haven't heard nothing back yet.

2:07

But we heard something back. We heard you

2:10

know, it's tournament time, but

2:14

it leaked, and so we

2:16

didn't want to deny it. The

2:19

best thing to do is just you

2:21

know, let people know what was going on, and

2:25

it's just something we we believe,

2:27

you know, it's a great opportunity and

2:31

you know, we believe that, you

2:33

know, being a guard, she can playing

2:36

the Big Three. You know, we've we've

2:38

looked at our guards over the years and

2:41

the size of our guards, and

2:45

and say, you know, that's a position that if

2:48

you know, if a female was

2:50

to play in the Big Three, that would be a position

2:52

that they would probably do

2:55

best at. You know, it's

2:57

too rough in the paint now,

3:00

you know, I know it's some bigger girls out there,

3:03

but you know, just not

3:06

trying to deal with Reggie Evans and the pain

3:08

would be just nothing

3:13

nice. So you know, we

3:16

just felt like we have a

3:18

great opportunity and we wanted to extend

3:21

the opportunity. And we

3:24

believe you know, of course if she joined

3:26

our league, it would it would lift

3:28

the league to new heights.

3:31

I agree.

3:32

I agree, meet me as me being one of the

3:34

pioneers of the league being involved in the leagues

3:36

this year one. I

3:38

loved it when I heard about it. I think, I

3:41

know what she'll do for the league. I know she loves

3:43

to play the game of basketball and as

3:45

a competitor, and when you get a chance

3:47

to make some money like that,

3:50

you know, in a short period of time playing

3:52

basketball doing something you love, I think

3:54

it's a smart decision because as

3:56

you play the game, you also want to make things

3:58

beneficial for yourself and uh, this is

4:00

a great this is a this is a win win for both

4:02

parties. And like I said, I would

4:04

love to welcome up to the league because if she came with my team,

4:06

I'll make sure I protect it because I know where future

4:09

is going.

4:09

But just to have a.

4:10

Part of the Big Three be something that uh that

4:12

that would be unbelievable and something that I would

4:14

be I would love to be a part of.

4:17

Yeah, you know, I think it's it's,

4:20

like I said, a great opportunity. The

4:23

league is slightly different than when when

4:25

you play you know, in the first two

4:28

or three years where it was jail ball,

4:30

you know, and

4:34

so we've uh you know, it's still

4:36

rough in that paint, you know, but we you

4:39

know, we don't want to hacking the league, so

4:41

we you know, we've made sure

4:43

that the game flows. But but it's also

4:46

you know, hand checking. It's also you

4:49

know, hard nosed defense being played

4:51

too. I think people want to see the

4:55

players compete. You know,

4:57

when it when it feels like players are not even

4:59

com pete anymore, that's

5:02

when you know, I wouldn't

5:04

even go watch my kids

5:06

playing a rec league game if

5:08

they didn't compete. So

5:11

it's really about that, and

5:13

we make sure we keep the competition fierce.

5:17

But nobody wants prison ball, so

5:20

we you know, we we made

5:22

sure that players

5:25

flow when they go. But if you go in that plaint,

5:27

you know, beware.

5:29

I got a couple questions. Q One, the

5:32

financial side of it. The top

5:34

the max salary in the w NBA right now is two hundred

5:36

and fifty thousand. They're saying if she's a top

5:39

four pick, I think she'll make anywhere just on the

5:41

salary side from seventy five thousand

5:43

to upwards of one hundred thousand. Was

5:46

five million? Is that urban judgment or was

5:48

that actually the offer? And was it for one year?

5:50

Like?

5:50

How did how did the financial side of this

5:53

offer come apart, come together and break

5:55

down?

5:56

Well, we don't really want to

5:58

go all the way into the and everything

6:00

we've offered. You

6:03

know, if if she agrees,

6:06

it'll all be, it'll all come out.

6:09

It's with us. It's kind of like an Ni

6:12

L situation. You know, our

6:14

sponsors are clamoring

6:17

they would love for her to join the league,

6:20

and if she joined the league, you

6:22

know they would support

6:25

the league even more. So. You

6:27

know, it's a thing where we believe

6:29

the money is there if she decides

6:32

to join the league with no problem,

6:35

because you know they're

6:38

sitting there waiting for and

6:41

so you know, it's just a great opportunity.

6:44

Like I keep saying, you know, as the CEO of

6:46

the Big Three, you know I wouldn't

6:48

be doing my job if I didn't look at this and

6:50

try to make it happen, because

6:53

everybody's gonna benefit the whole

6:55

league. You know, where

6:58

we're enter away from profit, and

7:00

once we get in profit, then

7:03

you know people are really really look

7:05

at this league in a whole different right because

7:07

guys will be making a lot more money.

7:10

So you know, this is our

7:13

approach and our push towards that.

7:15

I want to ask you because one you played in it, now

7:17

you coach, and then QB, this is your league. Do

7:19

you guys really feel like I mean, obviously,

7:21

I feel like the game is headed this way, the girls

7:24

game. I feel like the women's game overall, whether it be

7:26

kyleege or WNBA is as big as

7:28

it's been, as big as it's ever been.

7:30

And there's always that talk can women play

7:33

with men? Obviously, I feel not

7:35

from a skill standpoint, because I feel like a lot of these women

7:37

are just as skilled as men. I think what set men

7:39

apart is the athleticism and the strength. So

7:41

my question to both of you guys is do you feel like

7:44

she can compete on a strength

7:47

level with men, regardless of they're finishing

7:50

the NBA or played overseas or whatever it may

7:52

be. Because I feel like that's where the difference between

7:54

men and women are. It's not the skill set. The women are just as

7:56

skilled. I feel like the strength and athleticisms is what

7:58

sets men apart. So do you feel like a Caitlyn Clerk

8:01

can come in there? Because you know, boys, like

8:03

you said, you cleaned it up, but boys in the Big Three are hungry,

8:05

still hungry, trying to eat, you know what I mean.

8:07

So do you feel like from a competitive standpoint that Cake

8:10

and Kark can compete in the Big

8:12

Three?

8:12

I just feel like, for the most part, I think she'll

8:14

be all right. I mean, it's just it's just this is

8:16

gonna be a lot of situational basketball, and who

8:18

she's paired with, especially in the Big Three.

8:20

I don't care if it's if it's a female or male.

8:24

The player, the four or five players you put

8:26

together in the Big Three matters, right, because

8:28

you got to have a little bit of everything to be successful.

8:31

I think what she brings to the game will be a

8:34

key asset to any team in the Big Three because

8:36

she can shoot and the spacing

8:38

you have so much spacing going for rebounds,

8:41

people get lost and wide up with so many wide up

8:43

on shots are given in the Big Three.

8:44

That's that's right up for alley and pick and roll

8:46

game.

8:47

I think, you know, uh, if

8:49

you partner her with two good guys like teams I

8:51

put together, uh and other

8:54

teams like if you partner her with like with at least

8:56

a Leslie type team, they have pieces

8:58

that can make up for her not being as

9:00

strong as another guy.

9:01

But her basketball IQ

9:04

she can.

9:04

She she might probably won't be Joe Johnson in

9:06

the Big three mat but she definitely she will definitely

9:09

compete and and and and do some damage out there

9:11

and you'll definitely notice her.

9:12

So cube your thoughts.

9:14

So, I mean, my opinion is,

9:17

you know, who am I to say? It's

9:19

not up to me. You know I'm not I'm

9:21

not a basketball player at

9:24

that level. And you

9:26

know, I'm just glad I could provide the

9:28

opportunity so we could see. But

9:31

when I look over the years

9:34

and over you know, basketball courts

9:36

all across the world, men

9:38

and women are playing together, maybe not

9:40

at the pro level, but they're playing

9:42

together in uh, different

9:44

walks of life. So I

9:47

believe, you know, she

9:50

could play with the men. But like

9:52

I said, who am I to say? You know, we have

9:54

the opportunity. You know, I feel

9:57

blessed to have this opportunity. Uh,

9:59

and let's see mm hmm.

10:01

Now obviously, you know, keep our fingers

10:04

crossed for that opportunity. I'm sure once the tournament

10:06

ends, you'll get a little bit more information. You

10:08

don't have to give us names. But was she the only female

10:11

player that came to mind? Were there other ones out there?

10:13

Was?

10:13

She's just kind of the first one you want to start with and see

10:15

where that goes.

10:17

Now, we've thought of a lot of different ones over

10:19

the years. You

10:22

know, this is kind of to me,

10:24

the perfect opportunity. I

10:28

believe her name is mine More we was

10:31

thinking about and we was trying to get her to come

10:33

out of retirement a few years

10:35

back, and so you know, this isn't our

10:37

first time taking a look, but this

10:40

is the first player we thought

10:42

that could come in and elevate

10:44

the league and take the league to another level

10:47

when it comes to the tension

10:49

of the basketball audience.

10:52

So you know, that's

10:54

why it's a unique situation. Uh,

10:57

And that's why it was you

10:59

know, offer that we knew

11:01

would get her attention.

11:03

I don't know how far away we are from it,

11:05

but I feel like it's coming at some point.

11:07

Women.

11:08

There's going to be a crossover at some point on the professional

11:10

level. And you know, obviously for years

11:12

they've talked about the disparity and pay in

11:15

WNBA players and they have to go get second

11:17

job, sometimes overseas, and we saw what happened

11:19

with Britney Griner and all that

11:21

shit. So this is an opportunity, a

11:23

financial opportunity to obviously, you

11:26

know, kind of solidify yourself and jump

11:28

so cube in your opinion, obviously, because

11:30

the two leagues kind of coincide,

11:33

your league.

11:33

And the WNBA.

11:34

I think the WNBA starts a little bit before you guys,

11:36

but you guys kind of run simultaneously. So ideally,

11:39

in your mind, how would you see that work? And let's go hypothetically,

11:42

she says, yes, So the WNBA starts

11:44

a month or four years you guys start a little bit later. How

11:47

do you feel like that would work out with she in

11:49

your opinion, because I'm sure I'm not sure if you guys have

11:51

clauses. I know in the NBA you can't play obviously other

11:53

sports, so obviously would have to be like a deal between

11:55

you guys and the WNBA of being able to

11:57

play both or how did you kind of see that

12:00

side of the business of it working out?

12:01

If you look at our schedule and look at the w NBA

12:04

schedule, you know, if she went to Indiana,

12:07

there's only one game that overlaps.

12:10

You know, we only played once a week, so

12:14

of course we would move our

12:16

Big Three game so she'd be

12:18

able to play in both. So we

12:22

think we can work around the w NBA

12:24

schedule and she'll be

12:27

just fine.

12:29

Sop.

12:31

Before we get off of this subject, your

12:33

partnership with X, the platform formerly

12:35

known as Twitter. Can you explain that and

12:37

what fans should expect to this upcoming season.

12:40

Now broadcasting games in a new, fun,

12:43

exciting way, you know, a little a

12:45

little different. We could be a little more colorful on X

12:47

than we can on CBS, so

12:50

you know, you know, you know, our games are played on

12:52

CBS, but it's usually two

12:54

or three games and then we usually

12:57

have two or three games left

13:00

and those games will be on X And

13:03

it's a great partnership and we're

13:05

gonna redefine how sports

13:07

is broadcast and have a

13:10

lot of fun with it and be

13:12

able to be very creative. And

13:15

so it's a new day of sports.

13:17

So any communication with Elon

13:20

Musk about it or is it both your guys's team's kind

13:22

of figuring it out.

13:23

I never met him, so it's the team's

13:26

figuring it out and got

13:28

you. You know, we'll get there no

13:31

matter what.

13:36

Transitioning into music right now,

13:39

Kendrick and Drake a little bit of back and forth.

13:41

Kendrick took a shot at Drake on

13:44

like that Future on the

13:46

Future in Metro's album Cube

13:49

Legendary has been nearly thirty years since

13:51

the no Vasiline disc

13:54

came. Have you Heard Kendrick's Voices?

13:56

Two part? Have you Heard Kendricks Verse?

13:58

And is a little bit of competiti if with

14:00

all the bullshit that's going on in the streets, if we keep

14:03

it on wax your thoughts on just kind of the back

14:05

and forth and just kind of raising the level of

14:08

music right now.

14:09

I mean, you know Battle is always fun. Uh

14:12

could y'all lead the Big three out of it? Though, you

14:14

know what I'm saying and everything I

14:17

don't want to take no, you know what I mean.

14:20

But uh, but you

14:22

know it's cool to see. Everybody

14:24

got to watch they watch Date don't

14:27

because you know, Drake ain't no punk

14:29

when it comes to to you know,

14:31

putting great music together and putting a disc

14:33

record together. Kendrick ain't no punk

14:36

when it comes to the lyrics and putting a great record

14:38

together. So you know it's gonna be

14:40

fun as a fan to watch. But uh,

14:42

you know, if y'all really want to see something dope, check

14:45

out that Man Down album that's

14:47

coming out from your homeboy.

14:53

Yeah, that's what you look linking.

14:56

They expect that.

14:57

We're gonna're gonna drop it this June. You'll

14:59

start your right here songs. You

15:01

know y'all get it from sir.

15:02

You know I needed for sure, without

15:05

a doubt question.

15:07

I mean, obviously one of the most legendary

15:09

disc tracks in the history of the game. What goes

15:11

into and what your mindset like when you're

15:14

going and writing one of these uh these

15:16

Battle raps.

15:18

Go for the juggler. Go

15:20

for the juggler, you know, and don't

15:22

cross the line. You know, but just

15:25

go for the jugglar, But don't cross the line,

15:27

you know what I mean? With no vassaline.

15:30

They was pretty uh. You know the reason

15:32

I came that hard because they was they

15:35

was coming at me, you know what.

15:36

I mean, a

15:38

lot of foul up language.

15:41

What they was gonna do to me and all this stuff,

15:44

you know what I mean. I had to

15:47

let them have it. But I

15:51

think you can't hold back. It's like a fight. It's

15:53

like a fight. You ain't gonna pull

15:56

no punches in a fight.

15:57

You gotta throw them.

16:00

So talking about basketball the transition

16:02

to LA sports, you think the

16:04

Lakers got a shot in hell to make a deep run?

16:07

He said, shot?

16:08

They always got a shot. You

16:10

know, they always got a shot. You know, you got Lebron

16:12

and a D and D'Angelo.

16:16

He dope.

16:17

But it's really, you know, I wish they would have got a

16:19

big man. I wish they would have got

16:22

somebody to deal with the joker. I

16:24

don't think it's I don't think

16:26

a D is comfortable playing

16:29

you know, a guy that big a center.

16:33

I may be wrong, but it seemed

16:35

like when we won the championship

16:39

there was a lot of help you know, White,

16:42

Yeah, yeah, you know so.

16:46

So I just think we need those seven

16:48

footage to help to help, you

16:50

know, help carry the load down load.

16:52

He played seventy games this season, Yeah,

16:55

shout out for real.

16:56

Seventy games and at twenty five and thirteen,

16:58

I mean that's kind of been the knock is you know, is he gonna

17:00

play is great?

17:04

You know, I'm not complaining about a D. I just think

17:06

he's more comfortable at power,

17:09

Like, yeah,

17:11

he can flow and go and do his thing and not have

17:13

to bang and not

17:16

have to worry about rebounds as much, even though

17:18

he can snatch twenty of them if you want to.

17:21

I just think that, you know, when it's a seven game

17:23

series, you know, you guys know,

17:26

everything changes because now

17:29

now people can dial in and lock

17:31

in on you, and it's

17:33

a different game in the playoffs. So I

17:35

just think we should have got a big right now.

17:37

Transitioning with l A legend

17:40

himself Cube, let's talk a little bit of l

17:42

A slash Vegas

17:44

Sports. Uh, your second

17:46

favorite team will be in Inglewood next year

17:50

trying to capture some fans thoughts

17:52

on the Clippers move to ingle He said,

17:54

who thoughts

17:59

on the Clippers moved to Inglewood? Uh,

18:01

you know, kind of kind of on a business

18:03

standpoint, obviously gentrifying

18:05

the area, bringing more business to the area.

18:07

But you know, the Clippers are now finally

18:10

got their own place. I personally thought they should

18:12

have changed their name. But just thoughts on them kind

18:14

of getting up out of Staples Center getting their own

18:16

spot in Inglewood, Clipper daryls.

18:18

Man, they get they should just

18:20

you know, as they go down to Inglewood, keep

18:22

going. H

18:26

hit that full five back

18:28

to San Diego and South.

18:33

Charges.

18:34

Why

18:39

y'all messing Inglewood up? Man? A

18:42

nice place.

18:46

Place, oh

18:49

ship justification? The

18:55

motherfucking charges with you. It used to be a nice

18:57

place.

18:59

Juju whtrip o cold?

19:02

Yeah.

19:03

You know, what do

19:05

you think about her? Oh man?

19:07

She got game on the

19:09

coaches. You know, she's my kids favorite.

19:11

You know, they love her. They love her.

19:14

Yeah, best female athletes and too.

19:16

Oh man, you know, I

19:19

don't know. I can't say that. Man.

19:21

You know, we got least a Leslie

19:23

in the building.

19:26

Right right right, she went

19:28

everything.

19:29

So, yeah, they got a lot

19:31

of work to do, you know, what I mean, I

19:34

put it on least a Leslie so they can take

19:36

her down.

19:37

She's a woman, I think, Yeah, this is a woman

19:40

everywhere.

19:42

At a day and age where kids are, we're

19:44

playing seventeen year old sophomores and seventeen

19:47

year old freshman. She's a true eighteen year old

19:49

freshman broke all Cheryl Miller's scoring

19:51

records and the one thing about the women's

19:54

side of the game, and she has to play I think until she's

19:56

twenty two, so

19:59

I think she has to play all four years. So

20:01

I think she might be the one girl that you know down

20:03

the line, could could change rules, maybe leave

20:05

that possibly after a junior years because she's set to

20:07

be. With all due respect to Kaitlyn Clark,

20:09

Juju can be the one that breaks all

20:12

those records. Because I got a chance to see her in person about

20:14

a month and a half ago Cube and she was cold, the

20:17

whole package, mid range.

20:21

Place defense.

20:22

Yes, to me, she's a stronger, more

20:24

you know, sturdier frame

20:27

than the Kaitlyn Clark. But big fan

20:29

of Juju and definitely what she's doing, uh

20:31

down the street to that see for shuow.

20:33

Without a doubt, you know, it's gonna be fun

20:35

to watch her the next three years.

20:38

I think the NBA should start taking guys,

20:41

you know, after they senior year in

20:43

college. You know, it's like you don't always

20:45

have to be one and done to be the greatest. You

20:47

know what I'm saying. You can grab some seniors

20:50

sometimes that's that's mature

20:52

and ready to play at this level.

20:54

Yeah.

20:55

I think you bring up a great point because the league

20:57

when Jack and I came into the league, there was Vets thirty

20:59

eight. Whether they played or not,

21:01

they're instrumental to the team, whether it be bridging

21:03

the bridging the gap, you know, taking young fellas

21:06

under wing. Now the game is so young and everything

21:08

is based off potential, and that's why you see a lot of these

21:10

young kids wipe out. And then for example,

21:12

Haymi Hawks who went to UCLA played four

21:14

years. Sposter loves them the fact that for

21:17

everything you just said, Q, he came in ready to

21:19

play.

21:19

He didn't have to go through no learning curve.

21:21

He was ready to hit the ground running because he had four

21:23

years under his belt and had that experience.

21:25

I don't know if it should be a four, but I definitely feel

21:27

like it should be something because I feel like we're losing too

21:29

many young kids in the mix because

21:32

they get to the league and it's just a cold wake

21:34

up. They're not ready ready, and then you know they're

21:36

they're they're they're done.

21:38

The gyms, the gems and the owners

21:40

gotta they got a reward,

21:44

reward, you know, players, that's experience,

21:48

you know, experience. You know, they wasn't want and done.

21:50

So what they they they three

21:52

and done or four and done? But they

21:55

ready?

21:55

Yep?

21:56

Yeah, uh your raiders,

21:59

yeah in laws. Yeah, I

22:01

think they looking for a quarterback again.

22:03

I'm not sure if they got one, but any hopes

22:05

for them this year?

22:06

Yeah, you know, great new coach, you

22:09

know, bringing in his his

22:11

uh, his staff, you

22:15

know, making making a big strides

22:17

on the defensive side of the balls. Shot

22:19

out, yeah, mad Max.

22:23

You know, they just brought a boy over from from

22:26

Miami. That's that's a beast. And

22:30

yo, they got they that's what they should

22:32

be doing because they got to stop Patrick

22:35

Mahomes in the in the chiefs and

22:38

so you know, they making the right moves.

22:40

You know, I liked

22:42

our young quarterback last year anyway,

22:45

you know, I think they should give him a chance.

22:48

To fight for the job. I don't know if

22:50

they kept him or not, but I

22:53

liked him.

22:53

But I want to shout out an Tonio Pearce. I

22:56

think, you know, he could start this movement. Also

22:58

shout out my brother, my brother Foster

23:00

over at UCLA, where they're starting to empower former

23:02

players instead of dudes that you know,

23:05

just strictly coaches these guys. And and

23:08

to me, I feel like with this newer generation,

23:10

it's I mean, X and nose is what would be important.

23:12

But I think it's about relating to the players. And you can tell Antonio

23:14

Pierce has that locker room, he has that respect, and

23:16

he has that love, and that's what's gonna make those guys

23:19

play harder for him. So I definitely want to shout him

23:21

out and his new opportunity being

23:24

the officially the head coach of the Las

23:26

Vegas Raiders.

23:27

Yeah, I mean, that's what we do in the Big Three. All

23:29

of our coaches are former

23:32

players. To

23:34

me, you know, it's it's there's nothing

23:36

more than somebody

23:39

who's played the game relating

23:42

to other players and showing them how to win.

23:45

To me, it's just the perfect match.

23:48

So I'm happy they got a p you

23:51

know, hopefully they'll continue to

23:54

elevate players into

23:56

those coaching.

23:56

Positions, empowering

23:58

them, give them a real opportunity transitioning.

24:02

The Bob Marley biopick One Love Holding

24:04

Strong globally one hundred and seventy five million

24:06

in the box office. Obviously what you did was straight

24:09

out of Compton. I think started a

24:11

real move. Obviously there was things before, but I

24:13

think you captured that era

24:16

like people hadn't been able to do now and you're starting to see

24:18

to me, better biopicks and better

24:20

time pieces.

24:21

So have you got a chance to see Bobs and do you plan on it?

24:23

I haven't had a chance to see it. I do plan

24:26

on it. I respect anybody

24:28

putting together a bio pick. It's

24:31

not easy. You

24:33

got to find the right actors. You

24:36

really have to dig

24:39

into that material and reveal

24:41

things that the public don't know. You

24:43

know, it seemed easy to do a bio

24:46

pick just just put

24:48

the scenes together that all the people based on

24:50

what everybody know. But people don't want that. People

24:52

want to, you know, get behind the

24:55

things that they know and kind

24:57

of you know, understand those conversations

25:00

really, you know, maybe get a new enlightenment

25:03

on what the group was going through or coming from.

25:06

So it's just not an easy thing, you know. Straight

25:08

out of Compton was, without

25:11

a doubt, the hardest movie I ever made.

25:14

I seen, I seen

25:16

One Love Matt and This Ship was unbelievable.

25:19

Whoever did, whoever shot it was it was a great

25:21

movie. I even watched it again a

25:24

couple a couple of days after. Man, they really

25:26

touched on how

25:29

passionate Bob Bob Marley was about

25:31

his people, you know what I mean. I think

25:34

that's not only they did they touch his music,

25:36

but they touched how much he cared about people and the person

25:38

he was.

25:38

And I think that's why they did a great job. I

25:42

love that.

25:42

We definitely gotta cook because you know, my fiance's

25:44

dad, Danny Simms, was the first day that brought

25:47

Bob Marley to the United States, So we definitely

25:49

got to catch up on that and and

25:51

and see that movie. As

25:54

far as movies goes, could ce you got anything cooking

25:56

or coming down the line that we could be expecting.

25:58

You know, we're always working it out, you know what I mean,

26:00

making it happen. No, we can't

26:02

tell y'all. Let the body you know, I

26:06

don't really like the brag about what we got

26:09

coming because I

26:11

just want to make sure it all come together and

26:13

people you know, be hitting you, like, man, what happens

26:16

to this? And what happened to that?

26:17

So but you got it, but you got shit cooking

26:19

though, of course, keep your boy in mind.

26:21

You know, I'm ready, no problem

26:23

to hear, no problem.

26:25

Final four weekend coming up,

26:27

Men's and women's. Uh, this is a

26:29

big jack. I don't know how you feel,

26:31

but and I really haven't gone out of my way to jump

26:34

on the bandwagon, but I just feel like I'm more excited.

26:36

We talked about this offer. I'm more excited to watch

26:38

you know, it's Elite eight right now, you know, starting

26:40

today. But I'm more excited to watch

26:42

this women's side of the bracket, to be honest with you, than

26:44

I am about the men's.

26:45

You know, you got Juju Watkins.

26:46

I think she's going to get Paige Becker and then the

26:49

rematch with Caitlyn Clark and Angel Reese.

26:52

Thoughts both you.

26:52

Guys on just what the women's game, where the women's

26:55

game is at right now, and and and these star

26:57

driven teams and their chances.

26:59

Well where it's changed that matters like me and the fellas

27:01

are getting together for the women's games now used

27:03

to be the college games. College teams, but we more

27:05

fans and we know more about the women's game. And

27:08

even last Monday when we did Unplugged,

27:10

I talked about it. We had all four

27:12

We had South Carolina, Caitlin,

27:15

Clark, Juju and Page all playing right

27:17

at each other.

27:18

I was excited last money to see all those games.

27:20

So uh, I love, I love what the games

27:22

even you know my team is South Carolina, So I talked

27:24

to Raven uh every game. Don Statele

27:27

is my favorite people basketball player of all time. So I'm

27:29

really I'm excited about the way the game's going,

27:31

Matt. I'm excited about the games today, and

27:33

it just shows that the talent of the girls and and

27:36

they're taking the game more serious. They get

27:38

more passion and it's showing in the game. And you

27:40

know, look some of the stuff they doing, the moves

27:42

they making them. We're more excited than some of the guys

27:44

games. So I love where it's at

27:46

right now, and I'm ready to be tuned in this evening as well.

27:49

Appreciate you que We know you gotta run, baby,

27:51

So thank you for your time. Uh, best

27:54

of luck with the with the with the big

27:56

vision you have of bringing these two

27:58

worlds together.

27:59

And man, we'll be right there supporting you.

28:01

Solute much love, much respect,

28:03

man, thank you for.

28:04

Sure appreciation, my boy.

28:06

Later, Jack, I don't know if

28:08

you got a chance to see. Obviously, there was

28:10

a big article in the Washington Post about

28:12

coach Mochy, the head coach of l s U, and

28:15

then Ben Blotch I think his name is, from the

28:17

La Times wrote a slandered, one

28:20

sided smear campaign yesterday in

28:22

the La Times. What are your thoughts on,

28:25

you know, obviously them, the timing

28:27

of the piece, the fact that they're you know, in

28:29

the elite eate now and they're trying to distract

28:31

her as a coach and the team as a unit.

28:35

What do you think about this because you talk to you

28:37

know, Haley van Leith, I think her name is

28:40

the girl from LSU, and

28:42

she thinks it's negative comments are fuel from racism.

28:45

You know.

28:45

I definitely think there's a little bit of a racial

28:47

undertone. There's a lot of you know, black women that

28:50

are empowered and talking their

28:52

ship from LSU, which I think is

28:54

fine because men do it all the time, but for some reason, when

28:56

women do it, it's an issue. But just

28:58

thoughts on that whole LSU say situation. I mean, they knocked

29:01

out U C l A. You know, obviously I'm on my former

29:03

bruin, But when i saw the article the next ding in

29:05

the LA Times, I'm just like, and I'm a big fan of what coach

29:07

Corey has been able to do with these UCLA ladies and what

29:10

they represent. But this is this is some bullshit

29:13

thoughts on just you know, the approach and the way

29:15

they're kind of attacking this.

29:16

L s U two, Well, for the most part, we've

29:20

been great ever since we stepped in this

29:23

space on speaking on what we know, right

29:25

and and I don't know too much about

29:27

what's true or not, but what I do know is

29:29

we've been on the side of people just jumping out

29:31

there saying stuff about us, about us

29:34

and hating on us before we even started

29:36

our show.

29:36

Now they eating they words.

29:38

So so I understand how people

29:40

try to shoot you down when you when you're

29:42

on your way up, before you even get to to to

29:45

to reach your goal, right. And

29:47

I think for the most part, these same

29:49

people that's that's trying to put this dirt on her now

29:52

were same people that tried to put dirt on her when

29:54

she was at Baylor, you know what I'm saying. But she

29:56

wasn't on this level to where she has

29:58

outspoken uh female back

30:01

players. Yeah, she she she she wasn't on the level

30:03

where she first or second

30:05

year that she went to she win the championship. So, uh,

30:08

she's on a different level right now. But I definitely

30:10

agree with Haley A lot of times when

30:13

people speak on people like that and try to ruin

30:15

them, it's built up hate and racism

30:17

because whatever she has going on

30:19

in her life, it has no effect

30:22

in.

30:22

Yours right, and and and and and and

30:24

and and and the time of you coming up with it, it.

30:26

Shows that she's living renfree in your head

30:29

and you're just trying to kick You're trying to kick somebody

30:31

at the top or get attention on

30:34

somebody. You know what I'm saying. Why they at the top. So

30:36

I think it's all bullsh and Matt, because we have been in that

30:38

situation before.

30:40

I just never really understood.

30:42

You know, I'm gonna take injuries for example, what

30:44

she's been able to accomplish what she's able to

30:46

do on and off the court first and foremost, because

30:49

I think people want all your an athlete. You don't man

30:51

fuck that do what you want to do as long as you keep

30:53

the first thing first. And I think her and her teammates

30:55

have been able to do that. But then you hear the u c l A players,

30:57

You know, you hear people talk about the ship talking

31:00

he does. What's the problem with that? Men

31:02

have been doing that the whole time, and all of a sudden now when

31:04

women are doing it, it's an issue. Would be

31:06

would it be as big as of an issue if it was

31:08

a white girl talking that shit? I

31:10

don't think so, Jack. So my whole thing is

31:13

just like, why is it such an issue

31:15

when women talk shit? And Kaylyn

31:17

Clark talk shit and she's America sweetheart. I think

31:19

that's great. And you hear UCLA players,

31:22

some of them were quoted talking about how cool Adorese

31:25

is off the court. You know, some motherfuckers are just dogs

31:27

and assholes off the court.

31:28

On the court.

31:29

Now, I don't mean no disrespectful. We were both the same. We were

31:31

dogs and assholes on the court, but cool

31:33

as a fan off you know when we're excuse

31:35

me, on the court, but off the court, we're cool as a fan.

31:37

So I just don't like this slander

31:40

of just trying to make trying to make someone

31:43

you know, the bad guy. Yeah she does antics and yes

31:45

she toss her shit, but her numbers bad. I mean girls, the walking

31:48

walking double double. That's men thirteen

31:50

if I'm not mistaken. So talk talk

31:52

all the shit you wanted to me. That

31:54

kind of energy is the

31:57

reason why everyone is starting to watch

31:59

more given women in the time of day.

32:01

You know, with all due respect to be on switch

32:03

because now you see the Jujus and you see young girl

32:05

over at South Carolina and what they've been able to do after losing

32:07

five players to the w n B A, the big

32:10

girl over at Stanford. You

32:12

know the games we have coming up. You know Paige Becker

32:14

off of injury. You know her and Juju are going

32:17

at it tonight. So I don't understand

32:19

why you have to make someone a villain

32:21

for and enjoin the game talking shit

32:23

on the end of the game, but also backing

32:25

it up with numbers.

32:26

Yeah, you know this is not a.

32:30

This all due respect now of this to Dremond, but he

32:33

does his job well, and his job is not the score.

32:35

But Draymond could do all the talking and all that and have

32:38

zero points. Tennis is ten rebounds.

32:41

Why Reese came to do it when she putting up

32:43

those same numbers and putting up points. So I

32:46

hate, I hate how we look at it and

32:48

like you said, yeah, double standing. But the

32:50

proof is in the put Matt. That's why we're watching

32:53

it because they have been passionate about the game

32:55

and the talent is high.

32:57

Absolutely the men's side will

32:59

burn and Edney well,

33:01

these two big fellas, big fellow

33:04

already NC State ed Edie.

33:06

Excuse me, I ever got a chance to see. I

33:08

saw highlights of Burns

33:11

the other day and what he was able to do the Duke. I missed

33:13

that game, but I've seen Edie play a couple of times.

33:15

Stack.

33:15

Do you think both these big fellas translate into

33:18

a more guard oriented NBA.

33:20

Yeah, I think both of these guys are pros Edie.
