Yeah, you know what I'm saying? We. You know what I'm saying? We nice people.

[Nixon]

Supposed to win game. Enjoy. Enjoy.

[Mook]

Hey, no move talk.

[DJ Wells]

Your.

[Bishop]

He.

[Mook]

He can beat up for a second. You know what I'm saying?

[Bishop]

20, bro. We supposed to work the brooms out, bro. We shouldn't even have to go to New York.

[Mook]

Yeah, man, we should be saving gas right now. We shouldn't be using these planes for no reason, man.

[Bishop]

Resting up. Getting Tibs fired for getting sweat. God damn.

[Mook]

It's all good, man. We got the champagne. Popping the mad square guard once again. You know the vibes for sure, man. Seam showed up Yesterday with a 30 ball, five rebounds. Benedict Mather. Game ball goes to my boy yesterday. Hooped out in 12 minutes. He had 20 points. Crucial, crucial points. We needed every single one of those. But the Knick showed up as well. You know, Jelly Brunson had 31 and 5. He know what he does best. He cat had 24 and 12. Ogn and Obi had 22 and 4 as well, man. I know we talked last night about how y' all feeling about the game still, man. Crazy environment, man. Everybody was in the building. Good energy for the crowd, man. What a game.

[Bishop]

It was a great game, bro. I feel like Tibbs tried to go back to that same style. He put Dahl Wright in all them guys, but shit, that shit just ain't hit the same, bro. It was on they ass.

[Mook]

Yeah, you talked about that, T. You know what I'm saying? They went on the scout Reports to them, they contributions was like, whoa, threw us off guard. Yeah, we was ready for Landry Tremon last night. Yeah, we was ready for Dahlon.

[DJ Wells]

Right.

[Mook]

But even though he played some great defense yesterday.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, he had a. He had a missed layup that kind of not say it turned the game around. He had a good steal, though. He got a good steal. But that layup and it led to a three. Yeah, that was like a. Kind of like a heartbreaker. That's how I knew the game was going to go. When he missed that layup. That would have put him up one if he would have hit that layup. Instead, they ended up going down what, three?

[Mook]

And he had a nasty double in transition too. They went possession back. Yeah, was nasty. But I appreciate the game on my.

[DJ Wells]

Mama, cuz that kind of. Not to say Tyrese wasn't already going. He was kind of in his groove. But that three kind of lit the building back up. The miss lay up to the big three. The building kind of went up after that.

[Nixon]

But Ben Mah threw them off, bro. 12 minutes, bro. Giving him a dub, bro.

[Bishop]

He's going to get at least one good game.

[Nixon]

I'm a fan of his game, bro.

[Bishop]

I speak how he was going to get at least one, bro.

[Nixon]

20 and 12, bro. That's. That's fire.

[Bishop]

And respectfully, how many times he scored curling on the inbounds play, bro. Yeah, that's just ridiculous.

[Mook]

And he's one of the only players on our team who does that. Now sometimes, you know, he gets criticized for trying to get too much contact. Worried about getting the contact instead of finishing the layup sometimes. But Ben puts pressure on the rim and he hits free throws. He's one.

[Bishop]

That's bad defense.

[Nixon]

I like that insert. I like that he scored like three.

[Bishop]

Or four times on the inbounds play.

[Mook]

I don't disagree with you.

[DJ Wells]

He's a hell of a cutter, though. He do a good job. Especially with TJ McConnell when he gets the ball. Cause TJ kind of. We call it the Nash rule. He just dribbles around a quarter a lot. He just turns into Steve Nash and he cuts Will off the ball when, you know, I guess you call him what TJ Nash. When TJ Nash started doing that, it seemed like he always get a backdoor layup or a good cut. And he did that last night, got an and one. But nah, he played great for them, man. Only in 12 minutes to get 20 points, man.

[Nixon]

That's a quarter, bro.

[Bishop]

Yeah, I need a couple more minutes.

[Nixon]

That was the Biggest dud, bro.

[Mook]

And look at his stats, bro. 5 for 8.

[Bishop]

Give me 16 minutes, bro.

[Mook]

10 for 11. Like, man, listen, I know that you know the Rick Rock Nimhart. Honestly, listen, Nimhart did not give us what we needed yesterday. I would have preferred being closed out yesterday because he was more aggressive yesterday. I mean, no sight to Nimhart. He always show up, play solid defense. But 1 for 9, he wasn't even really aggressive yesterday. I would have liked to close the game out with better than Matthew yesterday. I think he earned that right.

[Nixon]

That's good that y' all got somebody that could fill in like that though, bro. Cause I don't know if Ben didn't get that 20.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, it would have been.

[Bishop]

We needed that 20.

[Nixon]

Been a game.

[Mook]

No, I mean every word I said is game ball to him because he kept his opponent.

[Nixon]

He saved them hard ass for that.

[Mook]

Yeah, I mean, even NFL, he, you know what I'm saying, gave some contributions, but it was really early arrest was on defense. Even though he played phenomenal defense yesterday.

[Nixon]

He did.

[Mook]

I can't ask you to score 25 and play great defense on Jalen Brunson. You did what you were supposed to do for sure. Before we go any further, super chat moment says it a coincidence that the last two in season tournament losers meeting in the finals. Pacers lost the Lakers and the Thunder lost the Bucs. I didn't think about that. Okay. You cooking your eyes wide open this morning, boy.

[Nixon]

I like that.

[DJ Wells]

Congrats. You know what the Pacers did? Well, they turned them over. They made the Knicks play a little faster and they was turning the ball over. I don't know, I think they might have 17, 18 turnovers, but that led to the Pacers getting out and running. And when they get out and running in fast breaks and like you said, Tyrese Halliburton dribbling that ball all high and kicking it up to people and pulling threes in transition. Them guys are playing fast like that. Pacer's a tough team to beat and that's what they did yesterday. The Knicks just had too many turnovers. You cannot turn the ball over against a team who's not really known for defense. Pacer's not a defensive team, but they've been playing great defense in these playoffs. And it's like timely defensive possessions, right? They play well, they get steals and things like that. They're not known for being a physical team, but they're the most physical team in the playoffs right now. And it's kind of crazy. It's like they turn on this switch like throughout the regular season. We call them a finesse team and all this. And then when the playoffs come, they get super aggressive, super physical and they become a different team. And they kind of took away what the Knicks do well. And Knicks supposed to be a physical, grimy, New York type style team and they flipped it in Indiana. Really the grimy team.

[Mook]

You know, it's interesting you said that and I think one thing I like about Rick is when we went smaller at Garden Cat, granted it didn't really help too much, but the physicality, we got to leave more physical because a small four guard, dude. So yes, you can't, you know, I'm saying they ain't gonna call those fouls. But interesting you say that. Yesterday The Knicks had 17 assists, 17 turnovers. Tyrese had 15 turn assists and no turnovers.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, they was turning you giving us transition points.

[Mook]

That's the only way we're gonna score.

[Bishop]

CAB was bullying Pascal, but Pascal was being physical, fighting with him. So he missed a couple little chippies that he should have made and it was wearing him down a little bit because he was going back at him on the other end. So it kind of played.

[Mook]

Played out good, most definitely. Let's look at the shooting from the Knicks. Okay. OG, you know what I'm saying? Shot decent, but 1 for 7 for 3 is nasty. Need more from that. Even though he hooped Cat 8 for 15, did his thing for sure. Mikhail Bridges, even though it looked like he hit more than six shots, maybe because all four of them was threes. Six for 15, that's tough. That's real tough.

[Bishop]

At the end he shot a couple crazy threes.

[Mook]

Yeah, I was gonna say yes, it really is probably, you know what I'm saying? Six for 12. I've been showing him some love. Jalen Brunson, nine for 19, but he shot a lot of free throws. Only missed one as usual. Josh Hart, man, a lot of people feel like Josh Hart let them down yesterday. He played hard as hell, but man, he was giving us some possessions, especially.

[DJ Wells]

With those fouls, turning it over. Yeah, turnovers, they was just putting him in a position that he's not really com. Like he's not good at. Like him running pick and rolls and stuff. That's just not his thing. He's a capable player. He's good off the drive and kick. He not a three point shooter. He a good offensive rebound. He a dirty work player, which is cool. But him having to be dynamic in your offense to be successful. Probably a recipe for disaster, especially on.

[Mook]

The fly, something y' all ain't did all year. Y' all was just scrambling to see what was gonna shake. That was fair to put him in that position. For real? For real.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah. I mean, y' all gotta get Jalen Brunson off the ball a little bit, but they just gotta find. That's the Knicks. That's on the Knicks next order. Like, they gotta find somebody who can make plays.

[Bishop]

Maybe Tibbs just see what none of us seen. They, like, can't nobody else get the ball. That's why he hold it for 20 seconds.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, I'm starting to lean towards that like nobody else can do.

[Nixon]

So my K was running the one I said, damn, like, all right, y'.

[Bishop]

All want me to get somebody?

[DJ Wells]

All right, I can't nobody. We need JB to hold the ball for 18 seconds and make a play.

[Bishop]

JB. I see why now.

[DJ Wells]

Me, too. I apologize, cuz I. I damn. Probably y' all up, cuz y' all probably heard me talking all this and then change their game plan, and now they talk team.

[Mook]

Quit listening to these n. See, I.

[DJ Wells]

Told you I was a real Pacer fan. The fix was in.

[Mook]

That's what I'm talking about. Set the play. My boy. Man, can we go back to the Pacer stats, though, again? We always talked about game three. As low as they shot from the three. Wasn't going to happen again. They showed up, especially our role players. Not even from a point standpoint, but just from a performance standpoint. Lot of energy, a lot of effort. Yesterday, Ben Shepard, 14 minutes. He didn't do the best, but he still fought and played defense, so I respect that. Guard, Jalen Brunson. Yeah, man, like you said, our two stars really showed up yesterday. That's what you need.

[DJ Wells]

Nah. Yeah. If them two play like that, it's going to be a tough out. It's really. Now, if we looking forward, if we skip past these next couple of games and think that it's going to be Pacers Thunder, it's Pascal and Tyrese versus SGA and Jalen Williams, and it's like, what duo is gonna perform? Yeah, that's really what it is. It's gonna come down to. Everybody else is kind of like extras. Like, obviously, I think OKC got a couple better players in their roster, but, like, Benedict Matheran is an X factor, too, though. If he could play like he played last night, he counters some of them guys like Chet and stuff like that.

[Mook]

I mean, I know he got a short leash with Rick. But, man, let him play. Cause it's sometimes like he'll have some bad moments and he'll immediately come out the game like, bro, give him a chance.

[Nixon]

Because mistakes, though. Cause y' all need him.

[Mook]

We need him.

[Nixon]

So shout out to Rick for, you know, I mean, letting him rock out for them 12.

[Mook]

But, I mean, he did really rock out. Was a reluctant 12, but, I mean, we got the dub.

[Nixon]

But I'm saying, you know, Rick pulling it quickly.

[DJ Wells]

He literally pulled. He did.

[Mook]

And he did, bro.

[Nixon]

Get a taste.

[Bishop]

I was like that yesterday. He got them turnover.

[Mook]

He said, hey, now, I'm gonna keep it up. I'm gonna keep it to be. I started calling him TJ McConnell yesterday. He came in at 4, 4 through two turnovers. I was like, hey, TJ, get the out the game.

[Nixon]

I'm like, y' all a good spark, though, bro.

[Mook]

No, he does. He does his job. He needs to come. The spark runs out. That's why it's a spark. It is not a flame.

[DJ Wells]

Is he gonna outspoke? Is he out? Is he out? Is he gonna outspoke Caruso?

[Mook]

No. And that's what sucks, because in most situations, I would take that. But no. Caruso switching on bigs. He forcing turnovers. And he can shoot.

[Nixon]

Gonna go crazy on these, bro.

[Mook]

Quit disrespecting Pascal. You see how he just bullied Cat last night? He pushing him off the block.

[Bishop]

Cat fighting with Cat, bro.

[Mook]

Chad don't hold no way down there with Pascal. He gonna push him all the way.

[Nixon]

Julius Randle was gonna handle him, you see.

[Mook]

Well, Pascal's better. Juice Randle.

[Nixon]

I mean, that's up to you, but.

[Mook]

No, that's up to the facts.

[Nixon]

That's up to you.

[Mook]

I'm taking Pascal, Juice Randall. That's not smut to Ju Randall. But Pascal mid range alone.

[Bishop]

Pascal too. He a champion. And I'm going go past.

[Nixon]

Yeah, bro. Y always do that. Championship respect.

[Bishop]

It's part of your legend.

[Nixon]

I'm just saying. Y' all thought Julius Randle was going to hold ch and it's. He's green.

[Mook]

I agree.

[DJ Wells]

He doing his thing. Ch playing well right now.

[Nixon]

Pascal going to have to play his ass off. You going to have to really guard, bro.

[Bishop]

Check going have to play his ass.

[Mook]

That's what I think is what two way street.

[Bishop]

You got to guard him, too.

[Mook]

It's going to be about who foul less on offense in that situation. Cuz they both about bucket. But Pascal, that midi boy and Pascal.

[Bishop]

Not going to sit there and shoot threes. Julius Reynolds Kind of letting him off the hook, bro.

[DJ Wells]

Julius Randle, Pascal gonna be at his ass. All right, let's just compare the two players while we here.

[Mook]

Okay.

[DJ Wells]

Julius Randle is a bully. He don't really got no type of handle, no wiggle, nothing. Pascal is like SGA for power forwards.

[Mook]

Like that comparison.

[DJ Wells]

Like, he got. He got move, spin. He kind of elusive with it, like, you know what I mean? He got some counters. He pump fake and he shoot the three. He kind of keep you off balance, but he's always attacking, attacking. The difference is Julius Randall's not like that. Julius Rand don't got no handles. He run into you, he can't run into you. He flip it up there or he just shoot a three. He count. Never mind. I ain't gonna disrespect him, but giving bag work.

[Bishop]

Pascal got bag work.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, he don't really got.

[Nixon]

I'm just telling y' all keep coming out, but I don't know who body.

[DJ Wells]

I don't know who better, though. I'm not saying that Pascal better or Julius Randle is better.

[Mook]

Both two really good players, for sure. But when you look at the eye.

[DJ Wells]

Test, it's like, it look easier for Pascal.

[Bishop]

Yes.

[DJ Wells]

When I would look at it, like, easier.

[Mook]

So going with Pascal, shout to for sure. All right, let's dip into the super chat. Big Z11 said if Halbert wins a ring, there's going to be some uncomfortable conversations. Top 10 PG in the league if he wins.

[DJ Wells]

I ain't going to lie. He a top 10 PG now.

[Bishop]

But if he win a rank for.

[DJ Wells]

Sure, like, today, I'm gonna be. I'm being honest. I'm not gonna.

[Nixon]

He's top five.

[Mook]

Yeah. Like, yeah. What you leave a lot of people if you don't get a ring is crazy.

[DJ Wells]

I'm not gonna. I'm not gonna be a. I'm gonna be a real analyst today, even though I don't even say we a real analyst team. We just talk. We the Barbershop. But I'm gonna be for real today. I ain't gonna joke. I ain't gonna troll. He top five now.

[Nixon]

Yeah.

[DJ Wells]

I ain't gonna.

[Mook]

It's a lot of people who be getting a lot of love, bro, that don't have no playoff wins, bro. Back to back conference finals is tough.

[Bishop]

And the way he doing it, they said he most overrated, and he come do this.

[Nixon]

That's why I think this fix was in, man.

[DJ Wells]

Top five, bro.

[Mook]

They suspended my daddy, bro. They tried to do everything to hold me back, bro.

[Nixon]

He's better than Jaylen Bronson. Tyres Albert is better than Jalen Bronson, bro.

[Bishop]

Facts.

[DJ Wells]

He's a better. He's a better point guard.

[Bishop]

Give me tyres, bro.

[Nixon]

He's a better point.

[DJ Wells]

He a better point guard. He's not a better player. Individual player. He a better point guard.

[Bishop]

I rather have him run my team at that position.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, he had better point guards, but I just. Player for player, give me Jalen Brunson. But to run my team as a point guard. And that's the difference. We talking about a point guard? Yeah, for sure. Because like one on one at point guard on a one on one game, Kyrie Irving's the best one on one player. But for as a point guard, he's. He's not the best point guard. Yeah, he's more of a scoring two. More of a two guard down there.

[Mook]

He is. But I am going to say, boy.

[Nixon]

Jalen Brothers supposed to be 6, 7.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, he played like Kyrie Irving, too. Yeah, he played like Joe Johnson.

[Mook]

But it was so funny. I was asleep with some people who don't watch basketball that much. They were just like, does he bully everybody? But yeah, that's what he does. It don't matter who you are, bro.

[Nixon]

Yesterday it just looked.

[Mook]

He put his shoulder in Nemhardt chest so bad, bro. In a layup. It's just like if you even counter back, you're going to foul him, bro. You just have to deal with it. He's really that good.

[Nixon]

And I mean, the Knicks got better players, but Tyrese just Ill involve his teammates more.

[Mook]

He got them playing at a level that I don't think a lot of people could have them playing at.

[Bishop]

And that's respect for facts throughout the game. So they make timely shots because they in rhythm. Yeah, they not in rhythm, bro. Like, even Bridges at the end, he hadn't really shot too much, bro. He got the three, four shots off, but he hadn't shot much the whole game.

[Mook]

He started getting his off like.

[DJ Wells]

Like Nimhard. If it wasn't for Tyrese Halleburn, Nemhar probably wouldn't be.

[Bishop]

Yeah, he wouldn't.

[DJ Wells]

He wouldn't be.

[Bishop]

Not saying he not a good player.

[DJ Wells]

He a good player, but he wouldn't. He go. Yeah, he go to a different team, like. Cause Tyrese got hurt and he got a chance to hoop.

[Mook]

Yeah.

[DJ Wells]

Or whatever it was. But I'm saying if he went to a different team with a star player as a point guard, he wouldn't play.

[Bishop]

Like, if he was on the Knicks, bro.

[DJ Wells]

He would Be open.

[Nixon]

He'd be Miles McBride.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, he would be McBride. Cause essentially that's who he is. But he had more freedom like Miles McBride. Don't got the same freedom as him like Nemhard out there doing step back threes.

[Mook]

Yeah.

[DJ Wells]

And he played 30 Rick Carlisle, bro.

[Bishop]

He get him boys confidence.

[Mook]

[DJ Wells]

Can I say one thing?

[Mook]

Yes, sir.

[DJ Wells]

Like, going to the game, it's weird. Like, I never been to a game. I've been to games that didn't matter. Like, we went to the Hawks game. It was like a random Monday or something, and nobody was paying attention to the Miami Heat. Yeah, nobody was paying attention. And then like, all the other times I've been to games is, like, biased. I went to, like, Marcus game. We played in Kentucky. I'm there to see Marcus. We went to a playoff game. He was in Chicago. We was there to see Marcus. Like, I didn't care. I was biased. Like, I'm coming to see my brother. This the first time I went to a game that mattered. And I had no reason to be there.

[Bishop]

Nah, the first time I ever seen a crowd for a game was weird as hell. Yeah, you're just not used to that shit. You on the bench and shit. Or not used to sitting in the crowd.

[DJ Wells]

So, like, to see people, like, actually fans. And like, I make fun of DJ all the time. Cause he an actual fan. Cause I never been a fan of nothing but wrestling. But wrestling is different. You know what I mean? It's like, you a fan of everything about wrestling to be a fan of a team. That shit is weird as hell to me. Nah, so, like, to watch people, like, I was just people watching. I'm like, damn, he really, like, pissed that the ref just like, you really care this much about these dudes, bro. Like, I just got new respect for people who, like, are true die hard fans or something.

[Bishop]

They feel the same way you feel when you on the court. Yeah, they feel like that in the crowd.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah. Like, they pay their hard earned money and it's like, damn, y' all really give a fuck. So that's why I'm gonna stop troll people, cuz like, y' all really. I see, I be thinking, like, why? Why y' all really mad. Like, y' all really give a college.

[Bishop]

They be.

[Nixon]

But that's how I went when me and DJ went to that Mustangs game last year.

[Bishop]

Nigga love that college team.

[Nixon]

I'm a mama, bro. It was that field, bro, for a regular season game to see Kalen Clark, bro. What you got?

[Mook]

Hey, man, listen how sick I am on a Monday morning after a Cowboys loss. Shouldn't make sense, bro.

[DJ Wells]

That's what I'm saying.

[Mook]

Like, people up my week if we lose, and we be losing a lot. So I be having some bad weeks with, like.

[DJ Wells]

To think people care that much. It's amazing because. Cause I never grew. But that shit, like, watching it, it looked like generational cares. Like, this shit was passed down from my grandpa. Like, I'm like, we didn't grow up like that. So I have. I'm not a fan of nothing. Yeah. So I've never been a fan of nothing. So to see people, like, be fans and shit, it's kind of impressive. It's amazing.

[Nixon]

I can't get behind a bunch of niggas that I don't know. Paul.

[DJ Wells]

My mind kind of like that, too.

[Nixon]

I'mma be real with y' all. Like, I love sports to death, but to just go crazy and up my household, like, I feel like people go home and be like, tell that girl don't talk to me. They do. Cowboys just lost. They do. Dj, I'm going to the man. I'm going to the man cave.

[Mook]

But on Christmas Day, when we lose to Patrick Mahomes, everybody go home. Christmas is over. If we lose at three o' clock, I don't want to see nobody ass six, bro.

[DJ Wells]

That's like. I wish I cared about something like that. Like, as far as, like, sports, like Gillyfield, bro.

[Bishop]

[DJ Wells]

Yeah. Like, that I wish I cared about, like, even I went to Wake Forest and I. It don't like, they play. They blow Wake Forest playing Carolina. I'm like, all right, that's cool. Like, they, like, you ain't watching it.

[Bishop]

Never mind. I ain't gonna say nothing. Kentucky gonna get on my ass.

[Nixon]

Michigan fans is like that, too, though. Yeah, that's sideboard.

[DJ Wells]

I mean, but I could see if you, like, cared about Kentucky because you won there. But then, like, I don't even.

[Bishop]

[Nixon]

I mean, you gonna support him, but you gotta understand, too, like, from uk, like, those people, bro, they in Lexington, bro.

[Mook]

[Mook]

We gotta get right, man.

[DJ Wells]

I don't even talk bad about what I just. I like, I didn't grow like I grew up. The reason I went to Wake Forest because I already told you, I like Chris Paul.

[Nixon]

Yeah.

[DJ Wells]

Like I didn't know about. I didn't even know what Wake Forest was until Chris Paul went there and was like, damn. You know what I mean? So I ain't going to be like, I grew up and I wanted to be a Demon Deacon. Like, no, that was just a team. I could go play. I didn't care.

[Nixon]

Wherever CP went and killed.

[DJ Wells]

I mean, he just made me known. Like, he just. I watched him. I liked his story about getting the points about his grandpa. And it made me like a fan. Like, Damn, he had 70. When he wanted to get over anywhere.

That was decent, you would have went.

[Bishop]

[DJ Wells]

Like, damn, they let him rock out. I could go rock out there. But I wasn't like a fan, like of anything. I was a fan. It was Georgetown cause Allen Iverson, but that was anything.

[Bishop]

They were mad at me because I said I never watched Kentucky before Cal got there. They tried to crucify me for that. I didn't know.

[Mook]

I'm not lying. Did Wake recruit you?

[Bishop]

Huh?

[Mook]

So we all made Mistakes, right? But owning up to them. It's the right thing to do. But we all know Degree Cool Rush deodorant well. Last year they changed the formula and it did not go over well with the fans, the grease, whole thing. It turns up sweat and other protection. Will you turn up the effort? And good thing it does because Cool Rush fans really turned up the effort to bring back the OG formula. One guy even started an online petition and degree listen, they admitted they effed up and are bringing back that OG Cool Rush scent back. And it's exactly how you remember it. Cool, crisp and fresh. It's back at Walmart, Target and other stores for under $4. There's a reason why it's been the number one men's antiperspirant for the last decade. It's the same reason why people are not happy when the recipe was changed. So listen, if you've never tried, it might be a good time to try. See what the fuss is about.

[DJ Wells]

Head to your local Walmart or Target and try the OG Degree Cool Rush for yourself.

This show is sponsored by BetterHelp. Your mental health matters. And there are things that take place every single day that could test those limits. Therapy has evolved.

This mental health awareness month, let's encourage everyone to take care of their well being and break the stigma. The world is better when people are healthy and happy.

But they was really pissed about that. I'm like, bro, y' all are saying, bro. He said, they said, bro. He said, it's damn near Brockins can beat them. I really believe so. Wilson will be one of them.

[DJ Wells]

He look like the real.

[Nixon]

He might be ready to relate to Coach Smitty, man.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, I know Smitty. They look like Rick Ross. The real Rick Ross.

Yeah, yeah, that's what he said. He comes to Jackson State, shout out to Kevin Larry. I think the basketball coach was at Alcorn State. He just got to Chicago State or something.

[Nixon]

We don't ever know who watching this.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, shout out to them, man. They show love. They was cool.

[Mook]

All right. Mills Robinson said $35 to get you courtside. You can get the game for five minutes. Damn.

[Nixon]

Damn.

[DJ Wells]

$35 to get you courtside.

[Mook]

[Bishop]

Get a new one, bro.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, she there for the money.

[Nixon]

Work it out, bro.

[DJ Wells]

She there for the money.

[Nixon]

I would suggest, bro, go to counseling and see if that works first.

[Mook]

Well, this is the counseling that can save you some bread.

[Nixon]

This is not real counselor.

[DJ Wells]

She don't really love you if she sign that prenup.

[Nixon]

Leave your girl cause Mo said so.

[Bishop]

Not let her ruin your life, bro.

[DJ Wells]

She don't really love you if she don't sign that prenup slide. Don't fall for the lie to say you already praying on our downfall if you got to have a prenup. Yes, I am. I am. The downfall is near.

[Bishop]

Pacers and five.

[Mook]

You know the vibes. Historic moment. Send her home. All right. Brendan Henderson said, who let Uncle Ruckus coach soccer? Disrespectful cavalier, man.

[DJ Wells]

Uncle Ruckus, one of the greatest. His characters on cartoon Charleston White branded self after, bro. Yeah, that is funny. He said, who lucked them? Never mind. I'm. Let's just go.

[Mook]

All right. Hey, Be here.

[DJ Wells]

What's up, man?

[Mook]

What up, bro? Listen, Thunders 31 Game 5. We no longer have five teams in the playoffs. How you feel tonight?

[Nixon]

Timberwolves going to win this one, y' all, man.

[Nixon]

I believe in you, bro. Another 20 point night from you tonight, man.

[Bishop]

That's fine, bro. They're losing, bro.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah.

[Bishop]

I don't even want to watch it.

[Nixon]

Damn. Is that bad?

[Bishop]

Yeah, I know they're gonna lose.

[DJ Wells]

I retired my best.

[Mook]

I ain't got a chance tonight.

[Nixon]

Don't listen to them, man.

[Bishop]

They have G. They gave up, bro. Anthony Edwards was like this, bro. I'm ready. Go back to Atlanta, bro. He shot 12 shots, bro.

[DJ Wells]

This time it's time to turn up 5:13.

[Nixon]

He's making the right place.

[DJ Wells]

Him and baby girl. We're going vacation. Been a rough year.

[Nixon]

Yeah.

[DJ Wells]

I didn't like what Kendrick Perkins said, though.

[Bishop]

Trying to get his mental right.

[Mook]

Yeah, we're gonna talk about that later in the show. I Ain't. I ain't like that, either.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, I didn't like that.

[Mook]

You got some. Some talk for Kendrick, man, Like, he.

[Bishop]

Wasn'T a player, bro.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, I don't like that.

[Mook]

But, man, no expectations for Timberwolves in this panel tonight, so be here. I don't know what you feeling, man, but it's looking like it's gonna be.

[Nixon]

Y' all just watch. It's cool.

[Mook]

I don't think too many people got too much hope in this, man.

[Bishop]

Okc. Two games in a row, bro. It's not going seven.

[Nixon]

Then they gonna. You know. Okay, so you gonna get them out of there.

[DJ Wells]

I'm cool off of that.

[Nixon]

One of these series is going seven.

[Bishop]

Y' all neither.

[Mook]

Yeah, the NBA Finals will.

[Bishop]

Because everything.

[Nixon]

One of these series, bro.

[DJ Wells]

They all going five, man. All right, this. I mean, I think the Knicks might win. There's no disrespect to the guard, but they might win at the guard. That's it. But them winning okc. Nah, it's not happening.

[Mook]

AE would come out and have to be Super Saiyan, which is clearly possible, but I think it might need a combination of him and JR and we have not seen that in the last couple games, unfortunately.

[Nixon]

All right, y' all. We'll see.

[DJ Wells]

But the Knicks do got a chance to win in the Garden. Cause they at home. That's the only thing. But I don't think they gonna win the series at all.

[Mook]

Oh, no. It's over with Pace in five. We already set the tone. We're trying to be eco friendly. We're gonna save some gas.

[DJ Wells]

I'm gonna say Pace is in six, though.

[Bishop]

Swept their ass.

[Mook]

That's how I feel. We really should have put the broom out. We really was being too nice.

[Bishop]

We shouldn't be playing no more right now.

[Mook]

Yeah, we should be chilling. You know what I'm saying? Nice little rest between the finals, but it's cool.

[DJ Wells]

It really should be 2. 2 right now, though.

[Bishop]

Nah, it should be 4.

[Nixon]

0. Yeah, it should be 4. It should not.

[DJ Wells]

The Knicks should have won game.

[Bishop]

Okay, I give him the first game. That was crazy. After that, though, almost don't count.

[Nixon]

I get that.

[DJ Wells]

But the Knicks won game three.

[Unknown]

Yeah, it should be.

[DJ Wells]

It should legit be two. Two.

[Nixon]

Supposed to go seven, bro, but respect.

[Mook]

But you know what happened? They lost.

[Nixon]

Yeah, that's what I said.

[DJ Wells]

Nah, the Pacers did what they were supposed to do.

[Nixon]

I mean, shit.

[DJ Wells]

Pacers, shit. They hooping.

[Nixon]

Tyrese did his big one for sure.

[Mook]

Damn. S is bad, man. Your Western Conference Let us down, man. We supposed to be excited about other games. We gotta sit through these JV games.

[DJ Wells]

To get to the finals. Yeah, the West. The west was a disappointment.

[Mook]

What a letdown.

[Bishop]

Not watching it tonight.

[DJ Wells]

You know what it was, man?

[Nixon]

I can't believe y' all, bro.

[DJ Wells]

It started with the Lakers. The Lakers let the whole west down.

[Bishop]

Facts. We had high expectations for them. Y' all did, and they let us down.

[Nixon]

Told y' all what my boys gonna do. I don't give a my team. I got three teams in the finals, so I don't know what y' all talking about.

[DJ Wells]

And this is my point I made about. This was the point I was making about, like, people being actual fans of teams earlier. Cause I. I hang around this nigga all day. So me and him, we are one and the same. We don't give a about none of the teams. We just like.

[Nixon]

No, I just. I just like basketball. I'm more of a high school fan schwarzel guy, like, than the NBA.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah. So to see DJ actually care about the pace. Because I. I thought this was, like, funny. Like, I didn't think he really care about the pace, but then I thought about it.

[Nixon]

Nah, I know, bro. He really is a fan.

[DJ Wells]

I'm like, this nigga really a fan. Cause they was. He been ever since he been doing this time.

[Nixon]

DJ really turns up on us when we disrespect the Pacers, bro.

[DJ Wells]

I like, but we've been doing this for what, two and a half years?

[Bishop]

Hold it down.

[DJ Wells]

DJ and he talk about the Pacers for the whole two and a half years. And then this. Remember when I was on the Pacers?

[Nixon]

No, but I'm saying. You remember last year when they beat the Bucks? DJ was.

[Bishop]

Cowboys, Pacers.

[Nixon]

That's what give him something the hard heard.

[Mook]

Well, listen, the Cowboys, we not gonna win. You know, they trying to take our. Now we back n you down.

[Nixon]

I'm talking about two years ago, Louisville. My boy was sick.

[DJ Wells]

Oh, boy.

[Mook]

Hey, hey. I don't talk about black men on this platform like that. Biny Payne. You would never get a Christmas gift from me, bro. No, that's a. Y' all see him to up our program, bro.

[Bishop]

Yes.

[Mook]

We won two games in two years with Kenny, bro.

[Nixon]

So what?

[Mook]

Stay away, bro. Shout out to pal Kiss.

[DJ Wells]

That's my whole point. Look how they did Kenny Payne. That little. He went there.

[Mook]

No, look how he did us. That won 10 games in two years. Are you serious?

[Nixon]

Anywhere else, we were sad.

[Mook]

We were terrible. That's why we spent all the Nil money. Now.

[Nixon]

Rick Patino would never. Bro.

[Bishop]

Shout out to kp.

[Mook]

No.

[Nixon]

I'm just saying.

[DJ Wells]

So that how you go to Louisville when they telling you don't ever come back to Louisville? That is crazy.

[Nixon]

Don't come in the gym us all right?

[DJ Wells]

Don't ever come back.

[Mook]

No, bro. What you did to us until you.

[DJ Wells]

Come back, they gonna boo him.

[Bishop]

That's crazy, bro.

[DJ Wells]

He gonna come back. Where they at? Arkansas gonna play Louisville. They gonna. They like Kenny Payne's back, boo.

[Mook]

I think I treat him behind Pearl.

[DJ Wells]

When he came in and I was a trash. I was a star for y' all back in the day. See what I'm saying?

[Mook]

Hey, we didn't need to search who he is. We know who Kitty Payne is, man.

[Bishop]

He's a workout guru, bro. He should have just kept working niggas out.

[DJ Wells]

What he aver?

[Mook]

Oh, man, he's a workout guru though.

[Bishop]

His workouts is crazy, bro.

[Nixon]

I'm sure that's a tough job to take.

[Mook]

His head coaching record is disgusting.

[Nixon]

That's a tough job.

[Mook]

No, that's him. That's his like actual playing career. Go to his coaching. He Starfield, I think average eight. So they put some of those.

[DJ Wells]

It's cool.

[Mook]

Pat Kelsey got the program back rocking, you know what I'm saying? We got Ryan, we got M. We got some great transfers. We're gonna have a great year next year. Louisville goes to the Final Four for sure. So we all made mistakes, right? But owning up to them, it's the right thing to do. But we all know degree Cool Rush deodorant. Well, last year they changed the formula and it did not go over well with the fans, the grease, whole thing. It turns up sweat and other protection when you turn up the effort. And good thing it does. Cuz Cool Rush fans really turned up the effort to bring back the OG formula. One guy even started online petition. And degree Listen, they admitted they effed up. And I'm bringing back that OG Cool Rush scent back. And it's exactly how you remember it. Cool, crisp and fresh. It's back at Walmart, Target and other stores for under $4. There's a reason why it's been the number one men's anti perspirant for the last decade. It's the same reason why people are not happy when the recipe was changed. So listen, if you've never tried, it might be a good time to try. See what the fuss is about.

[DJ Wells]

Head to your local Walmart or Target and try the OG degree Cool Rush for yourself.

[Mook]

Oikos presents 15 Seconds of Strength. Here we go. Steve's got a trunk full of groceries and no one to help him. Oh, that's tough. Jim. Looks like a five trip load at least. He grabs the first bag the second bob. It looks like he's trying to do it on one trip. He shimmies the door open, steps over the dog.

[Nixon]

Oh, and he stumbles. Oh, right into the kitchen without missing a beat.

[Mook]

Jim now that's a man who eats his protein packed Oikos with with 15.

Grams of complete protein in each cup.

Oikos Triple Zero can help build strength for every day.

[Nixon]

Oikos stronger makes everything better.

[Mook]

Obviously we don't care about this game tonight, but we gonna watch it anyway. Yeah.

[Nixon]

So disrespectful. But respect. I'm a team player. We can move on man.

[Mook]

Shout out to the JV game going on tonight, man. Ok. Get ready for the finals. All right. And MLB yesterday, we're running through some scores for sure. The Dodgers secure the guardians Yesterday. The Dodgers 9 to 5.

[DJ Wells]

That's a cheating ass team, the Dodgers.

[Mook]

Yeah, bro.

[Bishop]

Ass though.

[Mook]

Yeah, but that's what happens when. You know what I'm saying, You can pay whoever you want to. Yeah, yeah.

[Bishop]

They gave Ohtani the world.

[DJ Wells]

Have we ever seen anything like him?

[Mook]

No, no.

[Bishop]

He's a creative player.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah. No, bro, who would you compare Ohtani to if we was playing football and basketball? Who would you pick? Who would you say Ohtani is?

[Mook]

It's really honestly kind of hard to even compare them. I mean. Yeah, to that statue. But it's like, bro, you can't pitch and you hit home runs, bro. You can do everything perfect in baseball.

[Bishop]

They made him out, lad. Bro, he not a real person.

[Mook]

Yeah, that's different.

[DJ Wells]

I don't think we ever seen an athlete like him.

[Mook]

No. No, bro. That can pitch and hit like that, bro.

[Bishop]

Jackson, nobody.

[DJ Wells]

Nah, I don't think we. I mean, Bo Jackson was. I'm talking about in their sport. I shouldn't say. Obviously it's better athletes. Bo Jackson can play them in the area.

[Mook]

Sport. Yeah. Physically for sure.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah. But just to say to be that good in your Sport, like it's LeBron. But that's like LeBron being able to shoot like Steph Curry.

[Bishop]

Facts. That'll be crazy because he is like that.

[Mook]

He can pitch and he can dominate both important parts of the game. He can hit a home run and.

[DJ Wells]

He can stop you from hitting.

[Mook]

That's like being able to be the offensive player of the year and the defensive player of the year.

[Bishop]

I can control this whole game.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah.

[Mook]

Single handedly.

[Bishop]

Like single handedly.

[DJ Wells]

That's coming off an injury that's damn near Michael Jordan.

[Nixon]

Yeah.

[DJ Wells]

Even though his stats was inflated. When we. They talk about his defensive stats, but he was defensive player of the year, mvp. All that in the same year. So only Mike.

[Bishop]

Yeah, bro.

[Mook]

He's on his way, bro.

[Nixon]

I don't know, bro. When you do. When you do some by yourself, pitch and hit that. I'm better than Mike in my sport.

[Bishop]

Oh, I'm crazy.

[Nixon]

I'm crazy, bro.

[Bishop]

He ain't got no chips like Mike.

[Mook]

He gotta get. He gotta get the.

[Nixon]

They play 300 games, bro.

[Mook]

Hey, bro, it's a lot of goats.

[DJ Wells]

He got a tip under his belt though.

[Nixon]

I'll pitch it for sure.

[Bishop]

Got what Mike got.

[Nixon]

Yeah, Mike. I mean, Mo talking about multiple, but I'm saying, bro, he's throwing the ball, bro. And I got to go hit this pole too.

[DJ Wells]

But it take a lot to be a good pitcher. Your. Your defense, your. Your infield got to be in your outfield. They got to be supreme.

[Mook]

Yeah, but it starts with you.

[DJ Wells]

Like Star Wars.

[Mook]

You got to have your squad. But it starts with you, bro.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, it do. I mean, it do definitely starts with you. Yeah, it do.

[Mook]

You throwing 100 consistently across the plate. You getting that now. Of course. Bare minimum, they gonna do their job. But yeah, if you getting people out like that, you getting cage like that. And you getting homies home runs, bro.

[DJ Wells]

Nah, you. You definitely different. But either one shout out to them, man.

[Mook]

It was big payroll. Dodgers is not a cheap team at all.

[DJ Wells]

N. Hell no.

[Mook]

Carlos took care of the Orioles yesterday, 7 to 4. The Tigers defeated the Giants 3 to 1. Phillies beat the Braves 2 0. The Twins took care of the Braves, man.

[DJ Wells]

My Braves, Braves, man.

[Mook]

Give us something, man. 4 2.

[Bishop]

Trying to roll with them. I. I hate the Braves, man.

[DJ Wells]

I. I lived in Atlanta, man.

[Bishop]

Fuck it.

[DJ Wells]

Rolling with the Braves.

[Mook]

Hey, the Braves got one of the best hats of all.

[Bishop]

Worst teams in mlb until I bet on them. They win every time I bet.

[Mook]

Yeah, the Mets took care of the White Sox yesterday, 6 to 4. If you want to bet. Don't put any money on the White Sox. Cause you.

[Bishop]

If I would have bet against them, they would have won.

[Mook]

Yeah, they're not good people right now in my book. The brewers took care of the Red Sox 5 to 1. Reds took care of the Royals 7 to 2.

[DJ Wells]

We should be Reds fans, right? Cincinnati the closest thing to us.

[Mook]

I mean, it depends if you in the city and grew up Indian Houston fan.

[Bishop]

I bout to say bring the Indians back.

[Nixon]

Yeah, I'm a Houston offshore.

[Bishop]

They be too, now, ain't they?

[Mook]

No, they need three, but they. They just feed her to the Pirate system. Unfortunately. I'm a Diamondbacks fan. We'll talk about them up later in the show.

[DJ Wells]

How did you become a Diamondback fan, man?

[Mook]

Randy Johnson and them, bro. Yeah, big unit.

[DJ Wells]

The big unit pull. Yeah.

[Mook]

Randy Johnson wanted the coldest to pitch, bro.

[Bishop]

He was nasty.

[Mook]

Kurt Schilling, even though he knew a little bit different. They had a squad. Gonzalez. It was my game for sure. All right. Cubs Defeat the Rockies 4 to 3 to Raider Secure the Blue Jays 2 0. Astros beat the sleeves off the athletes, man.

[Nixon]

My dog Craig, BGO from back in the day. The real cheaters 06 legend right there. One of the craziest jerseys too, by the way.

[Mook]

Not fire.

[Nixon]

Damn. They're in the top five baseball jerseys.

[Mook]

Black with the burnt orange.

[Nixon]

Yes, sir.

[DJ Wells]

I want a Greg Maddox jersey.

[Mook]

Come on. I got the old school Ryan jersey. The Astros with the stripes with the white top. Elite though backs.

[DJ Wells]

I don't need new athletics hat, though.

[Mook]

All right, tap in. Hey, Liz. Y' all see the balls? We need that. Yeah. Yankees Defeat the Angels 3 to 2. The Padres defeat the Marlins 8 to 6. The Diamondbacks completely smoked yesterday against the Pirates. Pissed my whole day off.

[Bishop]

That was crazy, bro. Yeah, that had a plus two on them. They was up four to two and gave up seven, bro. Seven runs.

[Nixon]

Oh, damn. That definitely your bankroll up.

[Mook]

Yeah. Get well soon to the Diamondbacks, you know what I'm saying? Fucking up people money. Last but certainly not least, the managers beat the sleeves off the Nationals nine to one. All right, man, yesterday solidified a lot of things for the Pacers. First, let's talk about the finals, man. You know what I'm saying? Two small market teams. Do y' all think that good basketball will save people watching or. They ain't gonna care because of the markets anyway?

[Bishop]

I think if it's good basketball, people gonna watch, bro.

[DJ Wells]

Mm. It's hard for me to say because we are basketball fans, so we in our own small little bubble, right? Cause we basketball heads, so we're going to watch it regardless. But I'm trying to think of the.

[Bishop]

Masses, like, Tyrese, hot right now, bro. Sj, hot right now. I think people want to see them play. It ain't like it's some bum ass players out there. Facts, the cities ain't idea. It ain't New York versus la.

[Nixon]

It ain't Charlotte versus Utah.

[Bishop]

Players on the court, bro. Yeah, I think people want to see that.

[Mook]

Like you said, you got the league mvp.

[DJ Wells]

You know what I'm saying?

[Mook]

Shay good as Alexander. It's not like they were some upset Cinderella team all year. No, they're the number one seed for a reason.

[Bishop]

Hella Burden and Songs and he hot as hell right now, bro.

[Mook]

Wwe, you got Triple H. You know what I'm saying? Pulling up.

[DJ Wells]

That was dope. I'm just trying to think about the masses. Do they want to see that?

[Nixon]

I think they do, bro.

[DJ Wells]

I mean, I want to see it. As a basketball fan, I think it's a great series.

[Bishop]

It's gonna be a hell of a series.

[Nixon]

I don't think nobody's having finals parties.

[DJ Wells]

But that's what I'm saying. Like, it's the masses.

[Nixon]

Like, I don't think Kilroy is gonna be fat.

[DJ Wells]

It would be fat here.

[Mook]

Well, here. Yeah.

[Nixon]

We're just talking about.

[Mook]

If I'm in New York, am I going to the bar to watch the final game? Probably not.

[DJ Wells]

That's what I'm saying. Like, are they watching in Atlanta? Are they watching in Atlanta? No.

[Mook]

No.

[Bishop]

Nah. Yeah.

[Mook]

I feel that they turn these videos back on.

[Bishop]

It's not about be a turn up.

[Nixon]

But I think people will watch it, though. It's gonna be crazy.

[DJ Wells]

I think it's just gonna be. I think it's gonna be like background music or tv.

[Nixon]

You just go to a regular bar on a regular.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, but all the game is on.

[Bishop]

That's actually nuts for the final lounge.

[Mook]

You got country music over the game, bro. It's crazy.

[DJ Wells]

I swear, I could feel. I can see that Lakers and the Knicks was playing, oh, this people be.

[Mook]

Getting off work early. But I think it's gonna be good enough basketball. Like you said, when people actually tune in, they'll stay. I don't know if they'll jump immediately to it, but I think it's gonna be a good enough bump for people. Like, they hooping.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah. I can see if we in a different city. I could see people like. Cause it ain't LeBron, Stephen. Like when LeBron step. Everybody sat down.

[Bishop]

Yeah, I get that.

[DJ Wells]

I could see it being background shit like, oh, the game is on.

[Bishop]

It actually will be. It will.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah. Like, the game is on because even.

[Mook]

Last year, I mean, outside of Boston fans who probably, you know, say a pretty big fan base, you weren't too excited to watch that finals last year. You kind of knew. It was like, oh, yeah, they gonna get a business.

[DJ Wells]

I didn't really watch it like that last year. It was background music for me. That's why I was saying that. Like, damn. I really wasn't invested. I pretty much knew Boston was gonna win. Yeah, it wasn't really.

[Mook]

And they had Luca and Kyrie. That's crazy.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah.

[Mook]

So if you can't get those going, I mean, nobody got a chance. But I think it's gonna be good enough basketball people to tap in anyway. Hashtag son of says if. Okay. See, when it all. SJ get finals mvp. How do you rank him? KD Russell. Okay, say history. He's number one.

[Bishop]

He won, then Russ, then kd.

[Hes Yu Jo]

Therapy I think a lot of people think that you're supposed to be going to therapy once you're like having panic attacks every day. But before you get to that point, I think once you start even noticing that you feel a little bit off and you can't maintain this harmony that you once had in relationships, that could be a sign that maybe you want to go talk to somebody. There's always a benefit in talking to someone because we can all benefit from improved insight about ourselves and who we are and how we behave with other people. So if you're human, that's like a good indicator that you could benefit from talking to somebody.
