Transcript

[Host 1]

Come pick up your clothes. I had them folded. Welcome back to the Alley oop. Trista. What the hell you looking like that for A boy? You never heard an angel seen majestically.

[Host 2]

Well, I was just wondering what the segue for that. Like a lot of times there's a reason for that specific song as the intro to our episode and I was wondering who we're kicking out. Who? Come and get their clothes. Their folds are. Their clothes are folded. And I was wondering, is that John Morant? Is that Lamelo Ball? Is that. Who is that? Is that Giannis? Who are we talking about? Come pick up your clothes. They're folded for you.

[Host 1]

It could be Giannis. Giannis's socks is folded for sure.

Do you have the same opinions of Giannis's trade destinations as last week? Given this how this weekend has played out, given LeBron looking like LeBron again, the Heat dropping some questionable games, what do you think that my boy should go?

[Host 2]

I think Atlanta is an awesome spot for him. Atl, you can watch Giannis on the night tonight basis juju, you know that the food smacks, you know it still kind of has like the thing about Atlanta. I don't think people know and maybe this is wrong, maybe this is just some outsiders perspective but. But it feels like little mini pockets that are all like kind of patched together where you can kind of get like almost a small time Milwaukee vibe with more black folks and like better food and better weather.

[Guest Analyst]

The.

[Host 2]

The belt line. Is that what it is? That's the belt line that all that like industrial spot. There's just so many cool neighborhoods that don't feel like a huge city. So I think Atlanta from a basketball spot standpoint is awesome too. You got Jaylen Johnson, you got Dyson Daniels, you got Nikhl Alexander Walker. It's I think an amazing place for him to still get his. Get his lick off. He doesn't like. They're used to Trey Young doing whatever the he wants to f he wants to do. So like you just replace Giannis.

Away from Trey. Get rid of Trey. Trey Young sells tickets. Send him to Milwaukee and then it's kind of a win win, I feel.

[Host 1]

So you got Trey Young for Yanis straight up. No Chase.

[Host 2]

I'll give you a like a pick. I'll give you one pick. Maybe I'll give you your own pick back for 20, 26, bruh.

[Host 1]

And if Milwaukee takes that, they are high as hell. They need to stay off the weed. If they make that trade, get out the weed, man. That'd be bad But I like how you did not include Jayna Johnson in that. Because if I'm the house, I'm not touching my boy. Like, nah, bro, this, this look like the future a little bit. If I squint like, you feel me what you think about him?

[Host 2]

Six, ten, getting crazy numbers. Offensively, all we knew to begin with was that he was already a defensive guy and defensive monster. He's taken the leap. This team is the most. You know, like you see those, those girls and you're like, they, if you squint really hard, you're like.

Got a lot of potential to be wifey right now. Like you got the Atlanta Hawks are that you can see the vision, right? They just have a couple of things that they need to sort of get figured out. The center position, they gotta kind of figure that out. They got KP there, they got Onyeka Kongu, who's awesome, who's a three point shooting machine, but like he's not a real big bodied center. Looks like Clint Capella's on the way out, so they got to sort that part out. But they've got awesome perimeter defenders at the guard spot. They're just very, I don't know, they're just very sexy athletic, right? And I see the vision.

[Host 1]

Yeah, I know you didn't think like on any guards, green, earth or planet that I'm going to breeze past sexy athletic. Like, please define sexy athletic for us who may not know what that is specifically.

[Host 2]

All right, I come from the Neil O' Shea scar, PTSD where it's like we take guards that are 6 foot 2 and below, they can't defend, they're great shooters, they're offensive plus pluses, but they can get strapped down, right? Yeah, Athletic Sexy is like 6, 6 and above. Crazy wingspan, jump out the gym, can handle the ball, can cut without the ball, dunks, jump shots, three level scoring. And when you pair multiple guys like that together, it is scary hours.

[Host 1]

See, and that's why we need the definitions, cuz. See, I was kind of hating on you at first, but now that you walk that dog, I'm like, oh, I get it now.

[Host 2]

I might see that licking your chops. Like, what could this be, right? Like this could be the one type of archetype that could make life hell for the Thunder.

[Host 1]

Yeah, I'm gonna add that into my nomenclature. Sexy athletic. You got it. But keeping it in the athletic sexy land. I know you've seen my boys over the last couple of games. The Boston Celtics, my boy jb. Look man, I'm not saying we contenders at all, but I'm just saying they putting together a good nice little stretch of games.

[Host 2]

So when I was watching this team in the summer league and I ended up meeting this guy who was part of the architecture for building the offense and me and him and his dad actually had a nice dinner together. Just met at the bar. I. He was just a great dude, very smart and he kind of put me up on game. Like, listen, we're not going to be as bad as you think now, okay? Like, we don't think we need Anthony Simons to do much, but we've got a lot. We think we can get a lot out of jb. We think we can get a lot out of Peyton Pritchard. Listen, Jordan, kid out of Jordan. What's. You know who I'm talking about? Jordan. What's his last name?

[Host 1]

Walsh. Jordan Walsh was.

Arkansas.

[Host 2]

That kid from Arkansas. He's got straps. So they found a way to still be able to win games with. With Tatum looming. I think it's all under the. Tatum wants to come back at some point during the season and I don't want to say I'm drinking the Kool Aid a little bit, but in an Eastern Conference that has no clear.

Favorite, has no clear anybody that you care or trust about. Right. You know what? This Celtics team has the possibility to be. They've shed so much damn salary cap juju and still are winning a lot of games.

[Host 1]

You feel me? Come on. And I'm of the opinion that J.T. please don't come. Like just sit out this year, bro. Let's see how this look this year. Let's not even play that game because you too valuable to the entire organization to even come back. Like Jaden Daniels in football the other day. Like, come on, what we doing? Washington Commanders. My boy just had a dislocated elbow and came back to try to play. And what's their record? Like three in a thousand.

[Host 2]

Three in a thousand. Three and a thousand. The guy's name is for. For those on Wax, Ross McMains. I was only having his name in my head. Very smart. Dude. You're talking about a team that put up 126 on the Lakers, put up 121 on the Raptors. Yeah, they beat the Wizards and who cares but they also beat the Knicks. You. You're beating the Cavs. I mean, this is a team that's just on a little bit of a streak now and some quality wins. Juju.

[Host 1]

Clock it. I'm talking about clock it. The big way you feel me? Yeah. And who knows what they can do in free agency. Like right now it's all fun, right? It's all fun and games until you see a vicar zubot with green and white on. It's all fun and games until we see lamelo ball or somebody. Like, look, it's some people out there going crazy. And look, I'm not saying we contenders, dare I say that? But.

I like what I'm saying out of my voice.

[Host 2]

Could you imagine Giannis on the Celtics?

[Host 1]

Giannis.

Who would you give up for Giannis on them Celtics, though?

[Host 2]

Because a lot of salary filler you can give up. So you know that Anthony Simons is making 25. I know. This is just a thought exercise. Yeah, he's making 25.

Look here, because I wasn't even thinking about this until you were just talking about scary hours. It's one thing. All right, so you got.

Yeah, you'd have to give up like Derek White and Anthony Simons. Would you do it?

[Host 1]

Yes, ma', am. I definitely will because salute to my boy, Jerry White. Man, look, that boy bought a championship to. To Boston. Like he is irreplaceable. Damn near. But we see what Giannis is. Giannis is like a creature. You feel me? Like he ain't normal. You don't just get Giannis's every day. Like, dare I say you can mold some players to. To kind of emulate what Derek White do. Can't emulate his toughness, but you can find a couple of those Giannis, they make them once every, what, 17 years in the NBA and now they're making. Now they're making WIMBYs.

I would do that, bro, for sure. And not to mention the Celtics with this winning streak. They giving opportunities to players up and down that roster right now to show improve to other teams and to contenders that, hey, look what I can do on. On the struggling Celtics. Remember that mad TV situation when he was like, look what I can do and he jump off the side of the thing.

[Host 2]

No doubt, no doubt.

[Host 1]

Look what I can do. I'm Jordan Wash. You feel me? And I'm back. I got eyebrows now. Like, we, we, we, we cool now. Like it good over there. The future look bright.

[Host 2]

Are you. Are you ready for this? So let's. I'll give you.

Boston's 2026 first round pick. I'll give him the 2028 first round pick in the 2030 first round pick and Derek White and Anthony Simons. Let's go.

[Host 1]

Take them. Let's go.

[Host 2]

That trade passes the trade machine.

[Host 1]

Juju Bruh. Can you imagine 2027, Giannis, Jizzle and J Bizzle.

[Host 2]

It's a rap, bro. It's a rap.

[Host 1]

Clock it again, man. We clock a motif with that one, but yeah, man. Moving on, bro. I mentioned Lamelo Ball earlier, bro, and my boy Lamelo might be contender for one of the most unserious basketball players in the history of the NBA. Roll that footage, Ms. Rebecca, for our audio listeners.

[Audio/Video Producer]

In this video, Lamelo Ball, my boy.

[Host 1]

Ran out, runs out with a Toronto.

[Audio/Video Producer]

Raptors and not with his team, the Charlotte Hornets.

[Host 1]

He ran out with the Raptors, bro. And his Charlotte Hornets uniform, bro, play too much. Like, you ever see somebody that's like. Like Giannis last week. For people who don't think that injury was real, it's like, tell me you want to get traded without telling me you want to get traded, bro.

[Host 2]

Did you. You see he was cheesing like he knew he done effed up, right?

[Host 1]

Bro, you know you tripping, bro. What you doing, man? But he don't give a damn and he got paid already, so he's got.

[Host 2]

The full grill in his mouth for warm up.

Dude, come on now. Come on now. You got a lot of exciting whites pushing you out. You got, you got our. Our man Liam McNeely. We got con Nipple. We got right.

Home homie from Creighton. Yeah, you know I'm talking about. I always forget his name.

[Host 1]

You talking about for Shireman?

No, for the Celtics.

[Host 2]

Ryan Cockbrenner.

[Host 1]

Bless his heart.

[Host 2]

Bless his heart. No, I mean, I think it clearly is a situation where Lamelo wants to go.

[Host 1]

Yeah.

[Host 2]

Most likely the way he's acting. And Charlotte probably wants to move off of him. And it might be one of those situations where you get jaw for Lamelo, straight up, just goofy.

[Host 1]

Hell, nah, bro. Do not send John Morant to down Charlotte, bro. That man gonna crash out. You think he got guns now? Oh, boy. My boy pulling up with the stando. Like, please don't trade that man to Charlotte. If you're gonna trade him somewhere, trade them somewhere like Miami.

[Host 2]

Because Miami or I mean, or Minnesota.

[Host 1]

Now, if I'm declarating this, declaring this, I already love Ant man unconditionally. Like, I. I forgive him for a lot of stuff that maybe a lot of other people wouldn't forgive him for. But if John Morant goes to the Timberwolves.

You can add them to this. Like, the Celtics are here, and then the Timberwolves will be like, right there. As far as teams, I'm rooting For. Because goodness gracious. Good googly moogly. But John Morant, though, he's gonna be still shooting guns, and it's. We're just gonna have to send somebody with him. Exactly. We just got to get my boy a bodyguard or like a FR Bentley situation that know what they're doing. Neither here nor there. I'm ready.

[Host 2]

There are teams that have guys like get like permanent get back guys for players.

[Host 1]

Come on.

[Host 2]

He just needs to have somebody. We gotta buy John Moran a bunk bed. And you got to let Job choose whatever bunk but he wants. But that get back guy is going everywhere like white on rice with John Moran, right?

[Host 1]

And you can name him. Shoot. Which one of your homeboys you want to make it? We finna pay him somebody, man. He gonna get you together.

[Host 2]

Listen, we're gonna put him on payroll so that we can call him and threaten to take his cash away.

[Host 1]

Listen, exactly.

[Host 2]

Is supposed to be at practice right now. You are supposed to be getting him to practice. You make. You make $150,000 a year plus a percentage of every game that John Morant goes off for a triple double.

[Host 1]

Come on, come on, man. Every time J go to sleep before midnight.

[Host 2]

5000, man, we're gonna give him like that get back guy puts jock gives Ambien to John Morant every night. So he's sleepy at 9pm he gonna.

[Host 1]

Be reading that man bedtime stories.

Like, go to sleep. It's time to go. But yeah, another person on the block. Kaminga, bro. You seen Kaminga the other night? The Internet got up in the stir. Steve Curry at it again, benching that man in important minutes. Like what you think about that? Should they trade him asap, or is that just a part of the game like Steve Ker?

[Host 2]

Yeah, and Jonathan Kamingo is just a DMP as well.

He found a guy that he could shade Kaminga for. And that man already has another job. Who that Pat Spencer?

[Host 1]

Ah, damn. The accountant. Or what they say, what they call them.

[Host 2]

Yeah, the. They call him Mr. 9 to 5, right, bro.

And he's taking Kaminga's job. And then Steve curses. Yeah, I found out that Pat Spencer Is that MFer, right?

[Host 1]

Come on, man. Could I have coached that? What's that? Kevin Durant team back to back. Could I have coached that team to back to back championships? Yes, I could have. You feel me? Hey, y'. All. Steph, you already know what to do. Kd, you know what to do. They get it. Draymond. No kicking. All right, Championship on three. Let go. But at the same time you got to inspire Kaminga more than this. Kaminga being visibly public, it like kind of going through this stuff since last year. And you hear the stuff we hear. Steve go ahead and pull a little brother to the side and be like, hey man, I know you hear this, I know you hear that. How can I have your back more? And when I get in front of the media, not necessarily at the game, look, I'm gonna sit your ass down. Don't talk to me about no playing time. But how can I have you back more in those situation, bro? Something like that.

[Host 2]

I said it to Ms. Rebecca. Ms. Rebecca, can you play the tape?

[Guest Analyst]

The past couple years, but he's really improved his jump shot. I mean that's the big he's. Last year he would turn down a lot of threes, drive in, shoot a lot of floaters and you know he's never going to be Steph, but he's a threat out there and that's what it takes. You have to be a threat from the line to be able to pull the defense out. And I just think the shot quality now that we're getting with him on the floor is way better than it was the last couple years. And then I think the other thing is that his coach realized that Pat is that, you know, I think that's. That became clear.

[Host 1]

Cut it off. Cut it off. I'm embarrassed. Okay. I can't, bro.

Get Steve Care out of here. But you just became the joker of the day. But there's a lot of going on. Steve Care if you don't get the hell up out of here without that, man.

[Host 2]

Put it on him. Like I was the idiot. I was the idiot that didn't see that. The guy with a full time job outside the NBA is that.

Never said anything close to that about Jonathan Kaminga.

[Host 1]

Yeah. It's time to trade them, man. Trade free coming, man. Free to come. Bucket, bro. Like moving on.

Did you see Desmond Bane throw the damn ball at OG oh, jizzle and a no build the other day. This is the second time this year.

[Host 2]

Show me, bruh.

[Host 1]

Mr. Back if you got this video, please. This joker Desmond Bane is at it again. He did it early against the house. But here you go again for our listening audience.

[Audio/Video Producer]

In this video, Bane throws the ball off the back of OG Onanobi which upsets OG but is perfectly legal.

[Host 1]

Out of bounds on you.

OG can't be but help but be mad. Look, I got it out on you give a damn.

Do you like that or do you not like that?

[Host 2]

From there, I mean, I feel like it's definitely some 4D chess because you get to take your aggression out, and it's totally within the guidelines of the rules, right? It pisses OG Anunoby off, like, uncontrollably. Where he wants to square up gets him in a spot where he could potentially get a technical foul for just doing something that's a normal human being reaction. Because you were out of pocket throwing.

[Host 1]

The ball at a human being, right, bruh? That, bro. Oh, gee. Oh, gee. Were like, bruh, I know this is right, but I gotta be mad at you. I gotta push you, bro. Like, what is this like? But I like it, though. On the other hand, bro, Desmond Bang. You, sir, have become a villain. I like it.

[Host 2]

It also wasn't necessary. He could have just grabbed the ball. He really had dribbled other. Yes. He could have gone the other direction. He decided, no, now is the time for me to participate in violence.

[Host 1]

Well, I like it, bro. For the rest of the year, do that. Desmond Bang. Every time you see somebody on the other team out of bounds, I got another one, y'.

[Host 2]

All.

[Host 1]

His ass, and I like it. Kickbox now. You feel me?

[Host 2]

It was kickball style, right?

[Host 1]

Also, like we said earlier, LeBron James, man, turn. I mean, I don't like to say turn back the clock, because if you turn back the clock, you disrespecting all the work it take for me to be myself today. You feel me?

[Host 2]

He just put batteries back in the watch.

[Host 1]

There you go. There you go. And, yeah, he. He rolled the batteries in the back of the remote control to give him a little. A little fire the remote a little bit, right?

But yeah, bruh, not only did he have a wonderful performance, 10 in a row in the fourth quarter, I think my boy went 29, 7, 6, something like that, next to Luca going 31, 11, something. But he also won a little. A little battle between him and a fan during. During the game. Courtside player Ms. Rebecca.

[Audio/Video Producer]

For the listening audience in this video, LeBron James is very near the fans who are sitting courtside who start to tease him about hair loss, at which point LeBron retorts with, yeah, but I got something much better.

[Host 1]

Yeah, plenty of it. Hey, you talking about, man.

[Host 2]

Yeah, yo, what?

[Host 1]

Yeah, now we love you girls. Yeah, exactly.

[Host 2]

Is that an eggplant reference?

[Host 1]

Nah, ain't no damn. The eggplant. That's a Mayan reference, sis. Like, I got. He got a. A bank roll that's larger than whoever is talking to him. Whole family tree. He got A lot of that. You feel me? He ain't talking about no girl. Matter of fact, I'm throwing a flag. I'm throwing a flag on both of y' all ass. That's. Y' all need to get y' all mind out today.

[Host 2]

I thought it was. Yeah, I thought it was. I got a big D this, you know, like, wow. Plenty of it.

[Host 1]

You two freaks think of that first.

That felt like even. Even my mind didn't go there, so.

[Host 2]

Exactly your mind go, Dylan.

[Host 1]

Something basketball related, but not banana related.

[Host 2]

Oh, okay.

[Host 1]

Thank you.

[Host 2]

Me and Mr. Rebecca were like, damn. He's like talking about his balls or his.

[Audio/Video Producer]

Yeah, I'm still convinced it's about. I think it's the calzone.

[Host 2]

Yeah, I think we need a. A follow up from the locker room. What were you talking about? Plenty of what?

[Host 1]

Well, look, right, but if it's a calzone, if it's munions, if it's a bankroll, whatever, it's bitcoin, God damn it. If it's Legos, he got more than the brother that was talking to him on the side. You could tell just by the sound of his voice camera. Don't you ever try me about my damn hair. You know how much money I try to spend on the damn hair and it still won't grow?

[Host 2]

Do you know, turkey to try to get right. It happens, okay?

[Host 1]

Hey, can you see it hit my boy heart. My boy was in the game. Hey, man, who's. Hey, Too, too far, bro. I don't never have the urge to say something to an NBA player courtside like. Like the bro who got kicked out the K couple days ago when he. Like, we don't pay out. We don't pay to see you not play defense. Exactly. Said, well, take your ass home then.

[Host 2]

I talked to. I talked to a G league player yesterday.

[Host 1]

Freeze at Levine.

[Host 2]

I literally talked to a G league player on the court. Like, I ended up going to the. The G League Blazers game yesterday. Awesome tickets. Feet right on the hardwood. Almost like, got too close. Almost too close. Where the referees and us were in kind of the same space. And there's this kid, Blake Hinson, Blake Henson, you know, himself, six eight, six, eight. But the one issue, he can shoot the lights out, shoot the leather off the after ball. But the issue with him is he just gets so down on himself. And you could tell he was like chirping with the refs and everything because he doesn't really. 6 8, doesn't like contact, which is crazy. And I go, it's okay. Blake, honestly, don't get too hard on. Don't go so hard on yourself. Come on, keep your head up. Don't. Don't be hard on yourself. And I look over and the gm Joe Cronin is at the game, and he's looking at me like, what the hell is going on right now? He can hear me. Everybody in the gym could hear me.

[Host 1]

That's because. That's because he seen some of your clips online. Damn it. Like, he like, Nah, hold on now. I know that who I think it is, the Besmircher.

[Host 2]

Okay, Blake, you got it. You got it. Keep your head on straight. Come on, now. And then they benched him right away. Literally. You're out of here.

[Host 1]

Exactly. I like it, bro. But yeah, the opposite of that behavior is wild, though. Like. Like, bro, you talking to the NBA player, the man contract worth. I mean, like, you playing them type of games here. Like, what you finna get from that? All they ever have to do is walk over to you and your girlfriend and look at your girlfriend and be like, this your man? Like, hey, you like this man right here? Like, yeah, couldn't be me.

[Host 2]

Couldn't be me. I could never heckle an NBA player. You have to try to uplift them or like, what you do at Courtney Williams. They can't guard you. They can't guard you.

[Host 1]

Right, exactly, bruh. Bye, bye, team, man.

But yeah, man. Moving on to a segment that we like to call Boy Stop.

[Audio/Video Producer]

What would you all name this mode of transportation for our listening audience? In this video, a couple is sitting at the gas station when a man pulls up in a casket on wheels. He fills it up with gas and then drives off in the coffin.

[Host 1]

Ah, my wife's pulling off.

I hopped in the casket at the gas pump, put some gas in the gas pump in the casket, and drove off in the casket. I don't know, bro.

[Audio/Video Producer]

I don't.

[Host 2]

I. I don't. I don't understand any. Anything that I just saw.

[Audio/Video Producer]

I think that's his ride or die. I was dying to say that.

[Host 2]

I think that's his ride or die. Oh, my God. Ride and die.

[Host 1]

How about right 15 yards, stupid. Take it back, Ms. Rebecca. First to fish. 25.

[Host 2]

The amount of drugs that you have to ingest in order to come up with that stupid ass idea to put a gas tank on a casket and lay in it. When you're driving, how do you see? How do you see anything? Are there holes? How. What about your peripheral peripherals? What about your peripheral vision?

[Audio/Video Producer]

Now, let me ask a question. Because I also had a casket barbecue. Would you eat off a casket barbecue?

[Host 1]

No, I gotta see it. I can't lie. I need to see it.

Because we might be. They might be on to something. They might be on to something, but also too, bro, with the gas pump casket. That's a Freudian situation because you hit. Hit 75 on in that little casket. If you want to, it's gonna be yours.

[Audio/Video Producer]

I mean, would you eat off that or would you feel it's cannibalism?

[Host 1]

Oh, no, no, no. That's them good wheels right there of money.

[Host 2]

Caskets are expensive.

[Host 1]

I like that.

I knew I had to see it now. Now, because. Because imagine you pull the casket down, you smoking them. Guys.

Bro, you seen the fall off the bone brother on the line. Tendonism. That's what that look like. Ten.

Concludes another episode of the Alley. Ooh. We are still going. The lights is still on. And it is because of you guys. For real. For real. I know I joke. I know I play. We are still here. And my sister is still here in the damn. Oh, boy.

[Host 2]

You said the lights are on. I said.

[Host 1]

Look. Jim Carrey, ladies and gentlemen. Steve Martin prop comment. Any last words? Out of here. Damn, Gallagher.

[Host 2]

We'll see you next time. Same bat time, same bat channel.

[Host 1]

Go blow that candle out for you. Set the room on fire.
