Paul Verzi (40:14)
Oh, yo, are those the sixes? Are those the Jordan sixes? Dude, look at these sixes I got him with the black with the gold outline. Yo, these, these sneakers are crazy, right? These are crazy. You know, I don't know, these mouth breathing morons with the goddamn sweatpants in their Jordans. You know, Furze's a big Jordan guy. He loves Jordans. He was. He's wearing a pair this week. They're ugly as. They're all black. And then they got like this white wall tire thing down. And just because it says Jordans, I'm going, paul goes, dude, check out these new Jordans. You like them? I go, no, actually, I don't. And he can't understand. He goes, they're Jordans, dude. These are Jordan ones. It's like, dude, I don't give a fuck if they're Jordan Knight. I'm so sick of the numbers, dude. What's your favorite Jordans? You like the Sevens? Really? You like the Sevens? Now you got to make sure that it just says Nike on the back. If it has him on the back, then those aren't the real ones, the Kobe 11s. Like, what do you guys think that if you fucking put them on, you're somehow going to be able to dunk? You're going to score close to 80 points in a fucking NBA game because you're wearing Kobes. The Sedale three Sevens. I don't know. I, I don't understand any. If a fucking sneaker is ugly, it's ugly. I don't give a. I cannot believe you guys. You have to go on and you have to look at a picture of those sneakers. They're like referee sneakers from the early 80s. It's just a black low top fucking slipper with the Nike swoosh on it, dude. You mean the Kobe 11s, dude, the Kobe 11s are crazy. They're crazy. I'm telling you. You get yourself, you get yourself a tracksuit and you put on a pair of those, dude. Over, over. You go out to the club. People, people. Are those the Sixes? I. I just don't understand basketball sneakers, okay? Some of them are good looking, some of them aren't. Just they, they drive me up the wall. Paul Versi is the funniest human being I've ever met in my life. Like, he's, he's. He's one of these guys. Like, I love him to death, but the. That he likes. It's so. He likes. Obvious. He'd be like, dude, you know what I like? You know what I like? I like amenities. It's like, really, dude? You like getting extra shit? Extra comforting shit? That's amazing. You know, I never really thought about that. I don't know. I have to think about this. Do I like amenities? You know what I like? Paul. I like a lack thereof. I like less than. Like, who would ever say, dude, you know what? You know what, Dude? Is there anything better than pizza? Is there anything better than a great slice of pizza? Dude, you know what I like? I like a bologna sandwich, dude. A bologna sandwich with white American cheese and mustard, dude. Dude, the mustard puts it over the top. It's crazy. It's a joke. I mean, it's literally a joke. It just. I don't know. It's like, does it even need to be said? Question. It's a baloney sandwich. Yeah, it fucking hits the spot. Old mainstream Paulie. Dude, you know what I like? You know, I like. I like a golden retriever, dude. You know what's crazy? A white picket fence. Sorry, I got to get him back on this podcast because I. Bartnik calls him Mr. Maxim because everything he likes, it's like. It's. He likes what everybody likes. But then he's got this simplistic great philosophy where he'll be like, bill. But, Bill, what's wrong? What's wrong with sweatpants? You know, you can't argue with them. I said, there's nothing wrong with it. It's just, you know, the conversation is just like. It just doesn't need to be. Most of the conversation just doesn't even need to be had. Dude, is there anything better than just walking around in sweatpants? Dude, you put on a pair of sweatpants with some Jordan threes. Over, over. Dude, what is better than having on a hoodie and a pair of Kobe 11s? You go to a massage parlor and she's jerking your dick. I mean, am I crazy? It's. It's over. It's a. It's joke. It's a. Literally, it's a joke. All right, I'm sorry, all you sneakerheads out there, God bless you with your little hobby of keeping your sneakers clean and, you know, walking on your heels anytime there's. There's any sort of rubbish on the ground. Grown men just walking like a goddamn duck on their he. Hey, buddy, what the fuck you doing? I got on the sevens. What is it, the first day of school? Dude, you know what I love? You know what I love? Is there anything better than when it snows on Christmas? That's the type of shit he says. It's like, no. Yeah, that's great, Paul. I think everybody's pretty much in agreement. I even think Jewish people, like, if it snows on Christmas, you know what I mean? It probably adds to their Chinese food. I don't like who the fuck doesn't like a fresh blanket of snow? As long as it isn't a goddamn storm. Dude, you know what I like? Amenities. Is there anything better than taking a steam? No, I mean, you know, that's also. That is a great thing that everyone is in agreement with. You know what I like, dude? I like fresh air. Is there anything better than like non polluted air when you breathe in? I mean, it's crazy. It's a joke. It's literally. It's a joke. Jesus. I went on a fucking tangent there. Oh my God. For half a second I thought the recorder wasn't recording. I forgot my fucking microphone. So this might sound a little bit. Dude, is there anything better than just laying in your bed and just waking up and doing your podcast? I mean, it's a joke. It's literally. It's. It's. It's a joke. You know, I have to look up these fucking sneakers. How the fuck. Kobe Bryant, one of the greatest fucking top, what, two, three players of all time. Individual players, teammate. He was a fucking nightmare. You wait till that fucking confessional comes up. Let me sit there. Put in my password here. Stupid Laker fans always chanting MVP at the guy. I hate that. Celtic fans are chanting MVP at Isaiah Thomas. By the way, it reminds me of Laker fans that were always. Every time fucking Kobe stepped on the court and did not pass the ball and scored 40 points and they lose again and they. MVP. Did you see him dunk on that guy? And then they lost. Oh my God, he's unbelievable. Maybe if we get 58 free agents in here and fucking Phil Jackson, they can win a title. Mvp. All right. No, but he's. Dude, he's wearing the Kobe's. He's wearing the Kobe. I have to look these fucking sneakers up. How ugly these goddamn things are. And the fact that these fucking sneaker heads. You mean the Kobe's. I mean the rep sneakers. Those fucking cleats this guy's wearing. He looks like fucking Ken stabler out there. Kobe 11. You cannot tell me that this fucking. The computer doesn't listen to you. Oh my. Those are fucking dancing slippers. Jesus. At least he got the best. He got the best color. They come in pink. They come in red and white. They got a Miami Dolphin color. Dude, those literally look like women's sneakers. Like you should have like the low cut sock with the little ball on the back if you wear those fucking things. And I'm. Look, look, look at the 100 and 130 dollars. I bet this I bet if I went on YouTube and this and I looked up Kobe 11's I bet there's some fucking asshole sitting there licking the fuck. Who's a guy, Fat Joe did that in his MTV Cribs. And he goes, he had like, check these out. He's like, the fucking Jordan Sixes. And then he licked the bottom of them. It's like, dude, do you realize the sweatshop that those things were fucking made in? And you think those things didn't hit the ground in there? And God knows they probably don't let. They probably make those people go to the bathroom at their fucking station. And you're gonna lick the bottom of those goddamn sneakers. They were in a hermetically sealed sneaker box, dude. They were in a cardboard box and were shipped over here from the other side of the world. I think I'll put my tongue on them. All right, I'm gonna look this up. I'm gonna see if I could find that. I'm gonna find a fucking video here. Kobe 11's all right, I don't know why, but of the first video that came up, said exploding poo and a guy had shit on his face. Now I didn't think they did that type of stuff on fucking Kobe 11 shoes. All right? And some asshole's gonna do a fucking review. Nike Kobe 11 performance review dude, these are the ugliest fucking sneakers I've ever seen in my life. These ones are actually worse. Kobe Bryant gives LeBron James his autographed shoes. God, what the fuck do they talk about other than winning championship? That'd be like listening to fucking Superman and like fucking Batman talking. All right, Kobe gives away shoes to a fan. Here's I shit all over the guy. He's like the nicest guy ever. Kobe helps a busload of sick children get to the Staples center by towing it with his own body and his Kobe 11s. Alright, maybe I was wrong. Nike Kobe. I gotta get off this fucking subject. What am I listening to? Some guy do a fucking review of the sneakers. Nike Kobe 11 Performance Overview My initial thoughts. I fucking love you too. Who gives a F? I guess you guys are listening to my thoughts, but I'm just being a fucking moron. Anyways, let's get back to the goddamn game. All right, so Kelly Olenix out there and his Kobe Elevens. Dude, they were fucking crazy. Dude, you get a seven foot white guy in Kobe 11's it's over. I mean, the black guys are still going to go right around him and have their nuts in his face when they dunk on him. But I mean, his, his feet from the ankles down. It's. It's. It's over. It's going to be. It's a joke. It's literally a joke. All right, anyway, so we go, we watch this game. The owner of the Suns is a fucking riot. Totally. Just watching him riding the referees like old school guy, you know, right down there on the court watching the game. And, you know, he's not about some luxury box or anything like that, right? So anyway, so we're watching the game and the Celtics come out flat, which you knew they were gonna. You knew they were gonna because they've just beat the Lakers anytime. I'm telling you this right now. Gamblers, gamblers, anytime the. Any Boston team, right, I'd say the Bruins or the fucking Celtics go on that west coast trip, okay? If you want to make some money, bet against them, the day after, they play either the Clippers, the Kings, or the Lakers, because they go to la and after the game they all go out, they bang a bunch of broads, a bunch of actresses or whatever the it is they do. And then the next game, when they go to San Jose, down to Anaheim, out to Phoenix, up to Portland, whatever the they go next, there's always a letdown. So the Celtics come out flat, the fucking Suns are all over him. Whoever the guard was on the Suns was just as fast, it seems, as Isaiah. So he was right up on him, frustrating the hell out of him. Isaiah had, I think, four fouls in the first half. And so we're watching the game and I'm just going like, I knew it. I'm so excited to finally see this team. I've been watching, seen almost every game of this year, and they come out flat. I'm like, oh, man, am I really going to the fucking hangover game now? What do I give a shit? I got free fucking tickets. But still, you know, there's a bunch of Celtics fans there. They're all going fucking nuts and everything. We had, like nothing to cheer about. I think we were down by like 10 after the first half, and we just start chipping away, chipping away, chipping away. First half was ugly. I mean, it was like a. It was like a first quarter score with like four minutes to go. It was like 32, 27. It seemed maybe it was like six minutes to go. So at the half, I think they were both in like the 40s. I don't even remember. And. And I said, Paul jokingly, I go, you watch. They're both going to score over 100. They're going to heat up or whatever. So of course they come out and everybody starts hitting their shots. It turns into this great game. And then the fourth quarter comes and we start chipping away, chipping away, chipping away. We're down by like 10 or 11, then went down by 8, then went down by 5, and then went down by 4. Next thing you know, we're up by like 2. So you guys all know how the fucking game ends, right? We fucking missed. What's his face? Brown missed that foul shot, and Isaiah missed a foul shot. They would have fucking iced it. And we let him hang around. Hang around. Fucking hang around. In the end, I can't remember who was tied. We were up by one. It all happens. So, you know, it happens so fucking fast. When you're at the game and you don't have an announcer holding your hand, and you don't have something that you can actually look at. There's too much shit to look at. So we go to inbound the fucking ball, right? This guy goes around. Jay Crowder, I think, tied it up. We're like, fuck, right? That's right. We were up by two instead of being up by three and forcing him to take a three. And they probably would have missed a fucking thing. That's right. The guy goes right around Crowder, lays it in crowds, going nuts. There's like four seconds left. I go, all right, they're gonna try to get it to Isaiah Thomas. Let's see what happens. We fucking inbound the ball, Isaiah. One of the only times I've seen a mess up this year. Messed up the pass. He was kind of looking up court, you know, because there's only four seconds left before he caught the ball. They kick it out to this fucking dude. What the hell was his name? I actually wrote it down so I would give him the respect he deserves. Tyler Ulis, they kick it out to him, and he hits a three pointer at the buzzer to beat the Celtics. Now, here's the thing. I had second row seats, and guess what? I didn't even see the play. It happened on my end. You know why? Because the fucking assholes who were in the. They're in the front row. They inbound the ball, and they could see that, you know, Thomas was. Was it up? They stand up.
