•Apr 13, 20266 days agoSummary
Club Shay Shay's Nightcap episode features cornerback prospect Colton Hood discussing his journey through multiple colleges and NFL preparation, alongside analysis of NBA's 65-game eligibility rule, star player TV visibility issues, and Doc Rivers' departure from the Milwaukee Bucks. The hosts debate player development, coaching dynamics, and contract negotiations in modern professional sports.
Insights
- NBA's 65-game eligibility rule, voted by players themselves, now penalizes star players and impacts award eligibility and supermax contracts—creating unintended consequences that players didn't anticipate when voting for the CBA
- Star players appear on nationally televised games only 33% of the time despite networks paying billions for broadcasting rights, driving the need for game-appearance thresholds to protect league investments
- Modern coaching requires relatability and personal connection rather than authority-based leadership; coaches must understand individual player personalities and adapt discipline styles accordingly
- Player development has shifted from competitive pickup basketball to individualized training with specialists, reducing the competitive instincts and game-speed decision-making that comes from live play
- Giannis Antetokounmpo's contract negotiations and trade requests reflect broader tension between star players seeking championship-ready rosters and franchises protecting assets—agents and family members often become convenient scapegoats
Trends

Quotes
"I would definitely say like my technique and when I'm playing man to man, you know, a lot, you see a lot of guys backing up when they're pressing, you know, allowing the receiver to dictate to them. I'm kind of like the opposite. Now I want to dictate to what, to the receiver."
Colton Hood•Early segment
"I don't think 65 games is a lot to ask. Shut the hell up. Y'all vote for the collective bargaining and now you want to complain. If y'all wasn't sitting on your ass after time sipping margaritas and stuff, they wouldn't put the 65 games in."

"The biggest thing I learned from coach prime was just like how important watching film could be for you.

He's a cornerback at the University of Tennessee. A 20-25 second team all SEC pick. A projected first round pick. Colton Hood. Colton, how are you doing, bro? Me, I'm living, so. Man, thanks for joining us. I'm from Alabama, from Auburn to Colorado to Tennessee. What did you learn at each stop along the way that prepared you for this moment? I would say just, you know, just how to be where your feet are. You know what I'm saying? Each spot was, you know, different in their own ways, but just learning to be where my feet are and just, you know, be able to gel with new people at each spot. You know, definitely taught me that. You know, I feel like I can take that, you know, into an NFL locker room, you know, being able to go in there, be myself, you know what I'm saying, and be able to gel with my teammates. So. Hey, speaking of NFL locker room, what has the process been like, obviously, the schools you've been at and learning from different coaches, learning from different players, getting insight, watching NFL players that you might mold your game after. What has the process been like so far? I would say it's been like a dream come true, you know, as a little kid, you dream of, you know, being in this position. So it's been a dream come true, being able to, you know, go to the different teams and see all the different places. So it's been a dream come true. And, you know, I'm definitely excited for Drive Night for sure. See, hood, what's going on? Man, tell me a little something about your game. Tell me about yourself or who you modeled your game after. Guys, you enjoy watching, you know, as you was growing up. Tell me a little bit about yourself. Yeah, so, you know, my uncle played in the league, his name, he played nine seasons and we got done. He was a Patrick Peterson's personal trainer. So, you know, I got to grow up, grow up watching him a lot around him, even seeing like a lot of his, you know, all 22 stuff. So Patrick Peterson's a really big one. Someone I looked up to kind of modeled my game after, you know, his patience at press, you know, his ball tracking ability, returnability as well, you know what I'm saying? So definitely that. Okay, that's what's up. Hey, when it comes to, go ahead, Joe, go ahead. I'm going to just ask, I'm a huge fan of D.D. play, even though obviously I play receiver, but if you had to talk about your best asset, your best attribute, your best strength when it comes to playing deep into the back, what would it be? Man to man off, ball skills, technique. I mean, what would it be? Yeah, I would definitely say like my technique and when I'm playing man to man, you know, a lot, you see a lot of guys backing up when they're pressing, you know, allowing the receiver to dictate to them. I'm kind of like the opposite. Now I want to dictate to what, to the receiver. You know what I'm saying? Make them do what I want them to do. You know what I'm saying? That type of thing. So I'll say definitely my press man ability would definitely be, I'll say my biggest strength. So yeah, I remember seeing you. I remember seeing you up in Colorado couple, couple of times, you know what I'm saying? And we got to line it up, bro. Obviously you talking that. I think Monica, who's got that song? AJ ain't nothing but a number. Aliyah. Aliyah. Okay. Aliyah, but listen to see who let me take some real quick, right? Before you get drafted, if you want to get some work in my feet, then age. I did. So if you want some of this work, we can go. 10 round. Come on. Come on. Hey, this ain't what you want. Hey, play that song. Welcome to. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So you are, you leave the SEC, you go to Colorado and then you return to the, you return to Tennessee back to the SEC and your time with Colorado and coach Prime. What was, I, because that's what coach crime was the best DB to ever play the game. And so I'm sure that you, you took something. What, what, what did, what did coach prime teach you about how to play this position? Obviously it's like, look, the thing that you can't do with a corner and we see a lot of corners and no, Joe and I was talking about this. Is that you panic. That's the thing. And you get a pass and a fierce with all you have to do is just turn around, but they panic because they feel their beat and they don't trust their instincts. They don't trust their technique. So what was some of the things, some of the, the nuggets that coach prime, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the nuggets that coach prime. I think honestly, the biggest thing I learned from coach prime was just like how important watching film could be for you. You know what I'm saying? Like I think he would harp on, you know, film watch, you know what I'm saying? And I would watch film before, but like the intent that he taught it to us and how to watch it, you know what I'm saying? I think it could definitely take somebody's game from being good to being great. You know what I'm saying? And I think that was the best, the, the, the biggest thing I would say that I learned from him for sure. You know, athletic, I mean, you tell, you just tested off the charts. How did you think that change your, the perception of you coming out because of what you were able to do it? Um, yeah, I think, you know, I think a lot of people were, I guess doubting, you know, my speed, my, you know, athleticism, things like that. But, you know, I was always taught like if you're a DB and you run at full speed, that's how you beat, you know what I'm saying? So I guess kind of, that's kind of why they say that again. So if you're a DB and you know, you run at full speed at some point, then you, you, not how to tell you be. So, so, you know, like, I guess on tape, people don't really see me running full speed a lot. I'm not beat a lot of this time. So, you know, I, I got to go out there and show that my protein and my, and the calm mind. So I think that was the biggest thing. Hmm. Because when you look at your speed, I mean, you're four four, which is plenty fast enough. The 40 and a half inch vertical and the 10 and a half long jump. So let me know that you're explosive. You dropped your body. Yeah. Well, I did a little bit in high school, but um, baseball is my main, my main second sport. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Oh, so you, you are. Yeah. Yeah. That was my favorite, but that was my favorite player growing up, bro. I swear. Yeah. I was left handed too. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Hey, hey, see you played for you played for sports and yeah, I played football, baseball, basketball, track. What'd you run and try? I just did a four by one. I only did it my senior year though. Cause, cause you know, this date that yeah, they the same time and baseball season track at the same time, but then like, so like, we got knocked out of the playoffs early in baseball, my senior year. And so, um, the track coach was like, somebody got hurt and they needed me to come run. And so shoot, I just ran the last leg on the four by one. What was y'all, what was y'all four by one time? I can't remember the exact time, but we got runner up in state. So we did pretty good. Where you from? I'm from Georgia. Oh, okay. I went to a Eagles land in Christian, the private school. Oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Hey man, Georgia is a melting up time. My man, they got so much talent ready. Yeah. I'll be trying to tell us, man. We Georgia boys shoot. We different. Yeah. You hear that on show? We different. I know we're going to see when we lay some. I mean, you, but this, this is a thing though. You don't got my number. You don't got me on Instagram. You feel me? So I feel like you just talking, you know what I'm saying? You got go ahead. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. We can lay it up. Hey, we had, we have your information. That's how you got. Okay. So that's what I'm saying though. Let's get it. You, you and Kansas city, when you back in Atlanta, we'll be back home, be back home. What Wednesday? I'll be back on Wednesday. Okay. Wednesday. Matter of fact, I don't even have nothing to do this week. I'm already in shape. I play soccer. Okay. So if you need me to come. Come on. Come to Atlanta. You got a cameraman. You got a cameraman. Okay. Okay. Cause you're not going to talk to me. I'm telling you that right now. What I do. Put it in. Just put it in. Put it in. Put the man on his change. Put the man on his change. Put the man on his change. Put the man on his change. Hey, listen. Hey, hey, brotherhood on all 85 of my kids ain't nobody ever touched me off the line of scrimmage. I live for that. What we talk about. Listen, I ain't taking no life. I got my uniform out the dry cleaners every Sunday with a crease in it for a reason. Hey man. I ain't going to do too much more talk. I told you what it is. What it is. You feel me? We just got laced it up. Hold on. You're talking to a real trash talker. But physicality. You mentioned like you like to press physicality is kind of what you're known for. And I think the thing is that look a lot of people don't want to be physical anymore because they're afraid of the initial surge of the wire. See these guys are really good. They got, I mean, you look at you, I have to be dealing with Chase and Pooka Nukul and JSN and Justin Jefferson. These guys are really, really good. But if you are what you believe you are, you can't let the name dictate how you play. A lot of times guys dictate, let the name dictate the type of coverage. Man, man, no, no, no, no, no, no. You got to have that fear. Yeah. Regardless of who you go up against. You got to believe me. Yeah. Like I ain't going to lie. You're going to have to show me you better than me. I'm saying like, like, if I'm going out there, I'm not, you feel me? I'm not thinking nobody, I think I'm the best thing out there. You know what I'm saying? So you got to show me, like my first ever start was again, Terrell McMillan. He had to show me and he ain't shown me. So I like that. I like it. Through this whole process, what's been your biggest motivation? I would definitely say like my family, my parents, they all sacrificed a lot for me. You know, just going up, just waking me up early in the morning, taking me to the hills. My dad would do it all the time. My mom, she, she worked hard. She worked hard. But she's a doctor. So she'd be up, obviously, you know, up like 3 a.m. doing charts and stuff like that. So definitely them. Like I want to, you know, make life easier for them. You know, I think about them all the time. And then I was in my siblings too. I got seven siblings. I got older brothers, three older brothers. And then five younger siblings, two younger sisters, three, two younger sisters. I mean, four youngers, some younger siblings. I have two younger sisters, two younger brothers. So just them for real. I sent another example for my younger siblings. And then, you know, my oldest brother, he told us he told us four times. So he really gets to live his dream. So I definitely want to, you know, go out there and, you know, be able to allow him to live his dream by carelessly through me for sure. Wow. That's, that's unbelievable, man. Check this out. You say your brother towards ACL four times. Did they find out what the imbalance was? Because there has to be an imbalance for you to tell your ACI. Yeah, I think it was whether the mechanics, whether the hips, whether the hips on the line, his knee, his quads, two dominant hamstrings, two weak, two hamstrings, two dominant quads, two weak. Did they find out what was wrong? What was causing it? I don't really know exactly. I know that, like, I know that after the first time he did his surgery and he tried to come back too fast and that caused the second time. And then like, once you get it, like twice, and it's just like, you know what I'm saying? Everything's kind of out of whack. You know what I'm saying? So did they, how did they use a cadaver or did they partially take the patello? I don't know that. I don't know. Okay. I don't know. Hey, see you. Check this out. I already talked about your family, your pops. I read that, you know, he made you write down your goals at a young age. How, how were you when you started doing that? I was like, shoot, I was like, eight years old, I think. Yeah, I was like eight years old. Me and my, he made me and my brother like make a vision board with like five years, five year plan, 10 year plan, 15 year plan, 20 year plan. And so how often, how often, how often did you look at it? It was in my bedroom in my wall. So it was like, every day I see it. I was in like on the walls, like a big poster board. So it was like, you know, like those porcelains, people take in from like, like a big part of the section. How like my five year plan was here, 10 year, 15 year, 20 year and every day I woke up, I'll see it. So, and that's dope, bro. That's, you have to update that thing, man. I got it. I got it. I'm gonna steal an idea. I'm gonna steal an idea for my younger kids. I like that. They're like, they're like that. They're five, 10 year, 15 year, man. I like that. You decided like, when you get that first big, when you get that first big check, what do you want to buy? What do you want to do? Shoot, I ain't gonna lie. I'm pretty modest, I would say. Like I'm not really a big, I guess, spender. I do kind of want a new car though. If anything, I'll probably get a new car. What you getting? What you getting? I don't even know yet to be honest. Like I'm kind of all over. I don't know if I want to bends. I don't know what I want to be honest. I'm saying you had a need for speed? No, I'm not really, I like to be smooth. You know what I'm saying? Like cool, just chilling. Yeah. When you was growing up, when you was growing up, it's like, man, if I ever get some money. What was the first car that you said, man, if I ever get some money? Well, I'm not going to be able to get the car that I said, like off my first contract. But the car I said, out the first contract though. Hold on, you said something like Boo Goddy. You were in Hollywood. I know you said that Boo Goddy. Yeah, we'll get that off the first contract. Hey, listen, hey, who? I got a Boo Goddy, I think, I got a Boo Goddy at least one for a year. I think I was in years seven, I think maybe year seven or eight, if I'm not mistaken, at least, at least one six months, did it for six months. And I think I got fine. I tweeted on the sideline in the middle of the game. I got hit, I came to the sideline and I tweeted that it's okay guys, I'm okay. And the NFL buy me like 30 grand for that. And that was one of my payments. And at that point when the season ended, I said that I sent that bitch back. I'm seeing that because, hey, we went to talk about an experience and doing some one time just to be able to say I did it. Now we're getting caught up in the lifestyle and the image of having to keep it. I got you. Great experience. For sure. Wow, man. Well, congratulations to your family. I said, hello, congratulations on all your success. Remember now, you get into the NFL, that's not the end of the job. Yeah, I got you. This is the beginning. Yes, sir. Yeah, yeah, yeah, man. So congratulations one Georgia boy. Appreciate you. Hey, keep doing what you do. Keep making the right. Hey, oh, hit my phone. Hit my phone, bro. Hey, you know the saying, I get open in the phone. Hey, make sure you play the song. Welcome to the house. I got you. Appreciate it. Appreciate it. Come on, man. That was good. Appreciate you, bro. Uh, Wimby, weighed in on the 65 game rule. Let's take a listen to what Wimby had to say about this rule. If those three aren't, I mean, especially Kate and Luca, if they aren't in the season awards, for sure, it's not going to reflect their impact on the season. But at the same time, in my opinion, it's good to have a threshold, you know, a limit. Where do we need to put it? I don't know. That's a good question. Let me ask you a question. Like what percentage of the season right now, without calculating how many, what percent of the season do you think should be the limit? 75, 80. 75, 80, okay. Two thirds. Two thirds, okay. 70. Okay, academic, 70 percent passing. I don't think it should be a limit. You don't think it should be a limit? Yeah. That's a good way to put it. If a guy, because if a guy plays 50 games, 35 minutes a game, that's 50 times 35, that's 17, 15, right? Is that all right? If a guy plays 75 games at 20 minutes, it's, hold on, it's 1500. So, you know, it's not, I mean, it's a good view in my opinion to not have a limit. It's one opinion. 75 percent of the games, my opinion would be a logical thing and that would be 21.5. 61.5 games, right? So 62 games. When you look at it, Lucas played 2289 minutes. He's not eligible. Cade Cunningham has played 2150 minutes. He's not eligible. Ant-Man has played 2137 minutes. He's not eligible. Wimby has played 1866 minutes. He's eligible. Charles Barkley goes off on players complaining about the 65 game rule. I don't think 65 games is a lot to ask. Shut the hell up. Y'all vote for the collective bargaining and now you want to complain. If y'all wasn't sitting on your ass after time sipping margaritas and stuff, they wouldn't put the 65 games in. Shut the hell up. Hey, look, Charles got a valuable point, fellas, because the collective bargaining agreement, the players had to, you know, they had to vote in on that. This is what we as the players asked for. So they got to hold it up, bro. They got to, because look, they not going back to where it's not a game limit. It's always going to be a game limit now. Yep, you know, because it's going to save some of these teams some money. Right. You know what I mean? And it's just unfortunate that, you know, a lot of our stars is hurting them. You know what I mean? And some of these guys, man, you know, they will be playing if they could. I think that's the most disheartening thing. And that's why it's so much drawback. But I mean, rules are the rules, fellas. Yeah, it's messed up. And Joe, when you say the players voted on it, I'm sure they have one person that's appointed that represents all the players in general. Yes. Where all the players are where exactly what would happen if they voted on this. Yep. I'm sure they all were. And unfortunately, it's most of the most of the superstars who are now ineligible, who are not able to get awards, who are not able to be eligible for superman contracts, who now it's affecting. Do you think at any point the NBA and in good service will go back being that they have the power to do so and change the rules? I don't know. Oh, Joe, you know, they can't do that if they wanted to. You got to think about it. Oh, Joe, think about it. I remember I'm old enough to remember when the actually drinking age was to 18. You could actually drink at 18. Oh, Joe. Yes, sir. You could buy alcohol at 18. Give them what they know now. You think they ever going back to that? Oh, Joe. Yeah. Even even what they see some of the star players suffering right now. No, the game has changed when Barclay played the game has changed when Shaq played the game has changed. Players are bigger, faster, stronger. They getting up and down the court at a much higher rate, much higher volume and they're having injuries. They're sustaining injuries for a reason. Voting or not voting has consequences. Don't get to complain about something that you voted for and it turns around and bites you in the butt. So you cannot purchase a lion and they get mad if it attacks you. Right. You know, there's 82 games in the regular season. The threshold that you must meet in order to be eligible for postseason awards is 65. Yes, sir. Now, a rule that you voted on come backs to bite you. It's unfair. Oh, it wasn't unfair. If you didn't think it was going to impact you or was it when it wasn't impacting you? You see? Yeah. You don't start to bother us until they're on our porch. You don't realize how bad something smells until the aroma of the stench is in your own. And you're like, damn, market of the mug up here. Yeah. I've been dealing with it. You know, another thing, Joe, was that first you would know you would know better than I would. I'm not. I'm sure Uncle probably know too. What percentage of NBA players when the season's over, they're still active. Still actively just playing pick a ball like they do with that gym. What's the famous gym everybody go to in New York? The summit in New York? Yeah, the summit. How many of them continuously stay active no matter what? I think a lot of the top guys, like the main guys who play a bulk of the minutes, they take a little time off. What I mean a little time, it may be a couple weeks. But I'm going to be honest with man, when I was playing Uncle Ocho, I'm talking about even in the years early in my career when I was playing 30, 35 men, but I probably didn't take no more than a week off. Exactly, because I enjoy playing the game. You know, in the summer months is when I go back home, we had a summer league back home in Little Rock that I used to love playing in. So I was always active, bro. And I think nowadays we have so many, we're distracted by so much that the guys don't really play as much no more. Yeah, they'll go to the gym and work out with a trainer, get up a few shots, but I'm talking about that bumping ground. You talk about like five on five. That's what I'm talking about. Like, yeah, you talk about runs. When I was coming up, that's all we did was run. Nobody had no trainers, bro. Everybody, you hoop. You know what I mean? You may have a guy who had worked you out in the weight room or something, but we hoop. That's how we got better. Nowadays, guys don't really hoop. They just train, train, train. And then they hoop when the season gets. And that's a good thing too. I like that Joe just said that, right? Now basketball and football is completely different. Now we trained in the offseason, but then I mean, you play, how do I say this to say it the right way? So basketball, everyone, you have one, two, three, four and five. At what point do you work on your Pacific craft and prove your game specifically if all you do is play five on five? You get what I'm saying? Yeah. Yeah. I think that that's that's up to the player and how much they want to, you know, how good they want to be. Right. And when you really love something, man, you know, you, you'll put your all into it and you will find ways to get better when you're not around everybody else. Like I always, you know, I tell my son out of time, bro, like you're not going to get better than everybody by just going, getting better at practice. It's going to be the things that you do by yourself alone when nobody's watching. Are you out there? You doing your pushups? Are you getting extra shots up? You know, it's things like that. And I'm not sure a lot of guys do that, bro. They just, they, they wait to practice to try and get better. And that's just not enough. Yeah. No, I think, and Ocho, what we tried to do is that we took what we had trained in the off season and try to implement it in practice. Yeah. I worked on this. Yeah. Okay. The steps that I took. And so now I got to be able to implement that because instead of running this, doing this stuff over there, I got a guy in front of me. Yeah. I got a guy putting hands on me. I got an internal clock like, damn, it's taking too long up. So I got, I got to speed it up. So Joe was saying like, look, what's okay, it's fine to have a trainer, but you need to go work what you train, what you work. No, go implement that on a five on five. Yeah. The spots that you shot at. Okay. Can you, can you get those? Can you get to that spot in a five on five and hit those shots? One here, two, three, four, five, six. That's what you need to work on. But it seemed like Joe, if I'm, if I'm correct, like all you guys do is just like work on that and then wait till the whole season. They ain't really doing run. I don't know. I still think they have runs because I think UCLA, that's where the guys used to have in California. That place be jam packed. Yeah. And every once in a while you see somebody will post something where they got a lot of NBA guys and they're getting runs in and it's, you know, some big names up in there. But for the most part, like I said, all that, all that stuff, you got to be able to implement it. Yeah. You practicing it then you can't, what good is practicing something don't you, if you can't implement it in the game, what are you practicing it for? Right. I'm thinking about players, obviously, Joe, that are, that are, that are really skillful or want to continue to add tools to their bag. Yeah. Add tools to their bag, not just out there doing stuff that's not going to work in the game. Yeah. When I, when I train Joe, I train to do things at game speed and game tempo that I'm going to have to do when the bullets are flying for real. Right. Absolutely. You're doing no bull drive just to be doing no bull drive. Right. Right. You know, the more you play, you get that live action to read and react. Yeah. Versus, versus you being out there by yourself here running, running these goals and slashing all that, hell ain't nobody out there to touch you. It's the same thing with basketball. It's like, man, I could do all these dribbin' drills and shooting drills, but if I ain't got nobody with a hand up or pushing me coming off the peak to reaching for the ball. Yeah. You got, you got to have all that, man. You got to implement all that. And that's why I say you can train, but you definitely got to play because you need the competition. You know what I mean? You need the bump and grind. You got to have that, bro. That's how you get better. Because when you get in between them lines, similar to like a quarterback, when he say height, he has to read and react. Same thing with basketball. If I'm coming up to court, I got to be able to read and react. You know what I mean? When a guy make a mistake and if you hadn't been playing a lot of basketball, a lot of competitive hoops, then it's hard to kind of had those instincts right away. You know what I mean? Because in practice, when we run Rouse Joe, Ocho, you know this, there's got to be a fear. You run a sled that like says to, okay, okay, okay. So you know, I'm here. Yeah. So you got, hey, you run, you run in the rod, you run a, let's say you run a salad cross is zone and you catch the ball and turn up and here come that middle, here come that bike linebacker. Oh boy, that would have hurt right there. That would hurt. Hey, so you got to have this. So you have to know. And so you get a sense of like, okay, boom, boom, okay. This coverage, this is what the coverage is. I thought it was where I'm all that going through your head. Man, hey, that safety coming down. If it's lurk already, what we call it lurk, they call it a robber now, Ocho. We call it lurk cause he was working around, blow somebody else up. They call it robbing now. I was like, okay, I ran this shallow cross. Probably the first guy to go hit me because he see me going to cross around is probably going to be that damn safety cause he buzzing down. He coming. Yeah. The only thing that's going to save me if he happens to get caught up with the crosser, that's going to end that. That's going to, he's going to see crossing first and maybe he intercepts that, you takes that guy and now, but yeah, I'm a, I'm a firm believer. I like doing stuff for air, but air man, you feel all fast. Like, send it down. Oh, you know, man, you ain't doing it. That's stuff in the game. Funny thing about it. Hey, Joe, I did do my training by myself, especially me, you know, Mila, Coen drills and stuff like that. Yeah. A hundred miles an hour, Joe. Yeah. A thousand hours. I did it so much to a point where I don't care how many times I mess up, I'm going to move all by myself doing these Coen drills as if I'm really running around. Yeah. Got myself and got my body implemented to a point, Joe. I could run full speed and stop on a dime, Joe. And I was able to do it so much and it done it so much in Coen drills in tight situations that weren't even realistic to, to being in the game. Yeah. Got in the game and had to run 15 or 20 yards. I'm still able to be going full speed and get up out that thing in two steps. Here's the problem that they're running against. Oh, Joe and Joe against the 65 games. Tom Habestrow did a study and found that nationally televised games only 33% of the time the viewers are seeing the star players. There it is on your screen. How often do they see how often do all NBA stars on a nationally televised game actually play? Damn. Thirty seven, 32.7% of the time. So less than 33% of the time. This is why the rule was implemented. Yeah. Yeah. Think about the money that Amazon and Peacock and ESPN and all these networks just spent and look what you got, oh, Joe. 33% of the time the stars. So I go to a game, a national televised game. There's a great chance. I'm not going to see the stars. Yeah. Right. Yeah. This is why. So you mean to tell me I just gave seven billion. I'm paying collectively Peacock and Amazon and ESPN. Prine. You mean to tell me for seven being this what I'm getting? Yeah. When you see it broken down like that. It's understandable now. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They never going back. No, sir. It ain't never going back to just the back. Oh, Joe, if you think about it, this is why they protect the quarterbacks. This is why they put all those rules. This is why they the defense was receiver. Because they want the stars on the damn field. Yeah. They love football, but they love football better when Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Ben Rothersburg and all the big name guys are playing. Man, nobody. Man, come on, man. Man, nobody come to see you. Otis. Yeah, they not going back, bro. They going to keep this. They going to keep this in. Y'all can say what y'all want to put a skirt on them, put flags on them. It ain't never going back. You never going to be able to punish the quarterback like you once could. You're not going to be able to land on him. You're not going to be able to put your helmet in his chest. You're not going to be able to hit him below his knee. You got this area in which you can hit the quarterback. From his thigh pads to the top of his letters. But you better hit him with your shoulder pad and land on the side of it. Because if you put your helmet right there. That's a yeah, we're going to need 15. So that's that that's where they are now. Oh, go ahead. Now we're going to say and a fine at the final that too. Now. Oh, yeah, for sure. Oh, yeah. Man, you had a quarter quarterback. And the bigger the name of the quarterback, boy, you. Had that money. You must rather hurt my whole boy. What are the top quarterback? Yeah. Jaylin. So they're paying so I mean, think about what the tickets cost. You like, oh, man, I'm going to see it. Ma'am can't wait to see such and such play. The haircut somebody in the haircut. They come out the locker room like, damn. He ain't even uniform. So I know he not playing tonight. Don't the NBA have the injury report like the NFL does and let you know who's playing and who's not. And you get there to have big. They get that like a couple of hours before the game. You don't buy the ticket. And that's nasty work. And they give it no refund. Hey, listen, they happened to meet earlier in the season. Like the first two weeks of the season, I went to like two Hawks game and Jaylin Johnson then played. There's a lot of some key guys in play. I'm like, yeah, I could have stayed at home for this year. Like straight up, you know what I mean? Yeah, I know exactly what you're talking about. Yeah. Chuck also reacted to when we doing the math in his head for the 60 on the 65 game rule. What we need to do is sit all these kids at American bad ass American kids over the fray to go to school. That's the first thing we need to do. All these dummy kids over here. We need to send their ass to France. Who's saying this? Chuck Charles Barkley. Hey, Chuck, funny man. Hey, France put them in the league, boy. An anonymous NBA player, Paul voted 159 players voted MVP. Shay, Yolkich was second. Jaylin Brown was third. Kate Cunningham fourth. Lucas was fifth. Wimby. And Kauai Yannis. Joe, did this surprise you? Uh, no, it don't surprise me. Oh, it don't surprise me. Not one bit. Uh, Shay at the top. Yolkich right under them. Then JB, Kate. I think K percentage would have been a lot higher had he not missed the significant time that he missed. Considering the fact that at the time that he was playing, I think they were the number one team in the league at that time. I think they had the best record if I'm mistaken. And I'm okay. See just kind of overtook him once, you know, they, uh, they start sliding a little bit, but I don't have no problem with this. I got, I picked Shay. I picked Shay to win MVP. Hey, and just because the players voted this, this anonymous player poll. Hell, this still may not, this still may not be the MVP. Right. You know what I mean? He could potentially, Yolkich could potentially still win. I mean, Jay, I mean, Jaylin, Brian, I mean, for him to have the Celtics in the position that they had them in, given what they had lost and given what was out. Yeah. I know he was, he was special the entire season. I give him there. Damn. The fans don't really think a whole lot of Wimby and you see, you see lately, Wimby has been moving up the charts, allegedly. I mean, the way they regular and, and, and, and the charts about the MVP. Hell, Wimby's in the top five. Man, three, top four. On go for the next eight to 10 years. He's going to probably be in the top three area. Yeah. Yeah. Outside of this year, he, after this, he's going to be in the top three. I would say for the next eight to 10 years. What do you think about, uh, what is it about Wimby that people don't, that, that players don't seem to get their, to get their arms around Joe? I think he's still learning. He's still, he's super young still. He has great talent around him. Okay. Oh, Joe. So he's not asked to do a whole lot. He just has games to where he does do a whole lot. Right. I mean, as far as scoring the ball, rebounding, shot blocking, shot altering. You know, I mean, he can Rick have it on defense, defensive end by himself. Yes. You know what I mean? So I think as years continue to go on, uh, people start to show him a lot more, a lot, a lot more, uh, respect because I think he's going to have got a numbers. I'm looking at it. Gather. I'm trying to figure out who's going to be that fourth all NBA player because that's, yeah, made a cutoff. Yolkic made the cutoff. Jaylen Brown made the cutoff. Wimby made the cutoff. So we got four. Who's going to be that? Who's going to be guy that was going to be a second team all NBA guy? And now all of a sudden he's the first team all NBA guy. Uh, that's a good question. Is it during during? I think I think during them. I think he's going to make an all NBA team. I'm not sure it's going to be the first team though, but we got to have one more. They probably going to go like, uh, he might even throw Katie in there. That's a possibility. Possibility. Because I think he probably was going to make a team already. He probably, yeah, he make it. Yeah, he was going to be, he probably going to be second team. Yeah. So you probably put him in, put him in first team. Damn. Yeah. And then somebody go and then somebody going to get moved, bumped up. We're going to get bumped up from third to second and somebody that was going to make a team is going to be on the team. So somebody's going to go get a max and a super max contract because that ain't number of blessing. That's all it is. Doc Rivers is departing as head coach of the Bucks. Uh, after two and a half seasons for Shams, Bucks will now search for the third head coach in three years. Rivers went 97, 103 during the season. They're Milwaukee with two first round exits after missing the post season and play in tournament this season. Rivers took over from Bucks head coach late, uh, January 24 replacing Adrian Griffin, who had a 30 and 13 record before being fired. Team sources says there was a season long disconnect between rivers and the players included instance instances that annoyed the locker room. Joe, what's going on? I don't know. Joe, what's going on? I don't know. It just seems like they weren't filling. Doc Rivers, I from my understanding, they had a meeting and they said, Doc kind of gloated about his accolades and the things that he's done. Yeah, you say Google, God, Google me. My name is clean, but they call me Doc. Hey, and this what you have in professional sports, fellas, because guys make way too much money for you to be coming in here talking about me. They ain't trying to hit none of that. They ain't trying to hit that. Well, nobody but Doc. I'm sorry, Doc. I remember Doc. I remember Doc at Barcat. I remember Doc with Doc. I remember when Doc was with the Hawk with the title of 25 show. Yeah. Yeah. These players ain't standing there. Okay. Oh, Joe. Yeah. Hey, so sure. Oh, Joe, the job, the bottom of the job, be hanging out the short. Come on, man. Yeah. Hey, Joe, they really came blame. Doc, though, huh? Why? Because hell, they were 30 and 13 and you fired a coachman. You had, you was having a winning season. I wonder what and who precipitated that. Number 30. Ain't none of my business. I mind my black business. Number 34. And well, listen, I think with Doc getting up out of it, I think if fellas let me know that Yanis will be on the move. Cause oh, he on the move regardless. Cause they already said, Joe, either he signs this extension or we train his ass because he ain't getting to a, he ain't getting out of here walking to the end of this contract. Oh, no. Yeah. Hey, hey, hey, hey, doctor, I need walking into a sweet situation. Oh, they 30 and 13. I got Dame. My God, I got Yanis. I can leave these boys. Give me another title in my belt. Man, I think fell apart because I don't think Dame Hart was never in Milwaukee. Dame really didn't want to leave Portland, but he just knew he wasn't going to win no championship in Portland. Yeah. He really wanted to go to Miami, but Miami, Miami always try to pin it pinch. Ain't nobody helping you. Ain't nobody giving you the best players of Pat Riley for spare parts. They, they not. But if you look at it now, he said, uh, the reports are he would be willing to part with Tyler hero when you had a chance to get James Harden. You wouldn't do it. Yeah. You had to get a chance to get possibly get KD reports are you wouldn't do it. Now all of a sudden. Bro, ain't nobody, ain't nobody giving you a, a care. Well, you don't have to get up off him, Joe. I know man. Because he got to, he got so much talent. He got some promise. Yeah. He tried to hold on to it. Yeah. No. Good. Look, if you pay Riley, man, you got to do something here. You're going to be a playing team for the next however many years. So you got to make a splash or something. You got to make. All right. I ain't gonna say nothing. I already told you what's happening, but you're on is looking for a house of Coral Gables now. I was okay. You would have to give a, you have to give a Tyler hero and you're going to have to give up where that's at the minimum. Going to get that's at the mean. Yeah. You're gonna say, uh-uh. Huh? Yon is looking for a house and Coral Gables as we speak. He can look for a house in Western. All I know is you're going to give up Tyler. He rolled you go give up where and you go give up unprotected pick. I think that's Yon is 30 and 11. Hey, and if you, if you, Milwaukee, you better go on taking, stop playing. Yeah. Yes. Yeah. Yes. So, but. Bad dogs. So y'all better Google me. I won championships. I made some P made. Hey, I've got teams to the championships. They're no work in the professional sports, man. Yeah. You got a one thing, you know, one thing y'all know, bro, you got to be relatable to these players and they got to respect you. I ain't saying they don't respect doc. I think they respect him, but I think they kind of felt the way, but obviously behind the meeting that they had and him throwing his accolades around. And guys like, man, damn, man. Hey, what did you say? What have you done for me lately? Hey, hold on. That was 2009. When was that? Well, hold on. I'm trying to say that was 2008. When they wanted to 2000 2008, 2009. Yeah. Because Kobe, because Kobe won at 19. Yeah. And then and then Dallas won it in 11 LeBron's first year there. So LeBron's LeBron's year that. So it was had to be what year was that? They won 2007, 2000s with that two. No, 2007, what you call 2008? It won 2008, 2008. That's when Boston won. Yeah. Well, that was that was 18 years ago. Them kids, most of these kids was two, three tops. It was baby. They were a little taller. Yeah. Damn, I see my go. We remember Doc. I remember Doc as a player. I do. In Atlanta. And. But man, look. Man, it's a different time now. You can't talk to these kids like you once could. You just got a. It's almost you got to be relatable. Hey, you got to know that you got to know something about card. You got to know something about. You know, man, you got to know something about. Okay, man, you got to know stuff like that, man. You got to be on that level. They talk about young boy. You talk about IZ and brothers and. And Frank and Beverly talk about summer breeze. And the kids don't know nothing about that. It's all about. It's all about being relatable. Hey. Hey, same thing. Because if you're in college and you can't relate, he in the portal, he gone. He ain't trying to hit it. You don't know. Yeah. Well, every time we put some on, every time we put some on there with a nightcap fee, man, what you know about this guy? I say what they. But that's it, guys. It's it's look just accepted. Yeah. The times that Joe, like when you grew up in and oh, Joe, you and I grew up in, that's over. It ain't coming back. You can't coach the kids like that. You can't talk to him like you once could. Just accept that. Say, man, I remember I do too. Well, Dan, how do you discipline the kids or somebody nowadays? Oh, discipline who? I'm saying, but no, I'm coaching how I post the discipline. My guys or my kids in college, how what I supposed to do? You go, you go make him do suicides, right? Then somebody else's practice. You have it running laps and somebody else's. You know, that's where it is. Not Joe. Hey, for one, Joe, the players that you do have, whoever the coach is, you got to have players that respect you. Yes. They have players that respect you and then you got to know your players personally. You got to know what players you can coach hard. Then you got to know what players you got to coach and pat on the back. You got to put them along with you. Damn, boy, it's hard to be a coach nowadays, man. Difficult. It's a different ball game. You got to jug all these different personalities. No, you know, you can't make everybody happy. It's going to be two, three guys pissed off at you. Yeah, that's just how it goes. Every time. Yes. It's just like your kids, Joe. You got more. You got two, three kids. Everybody. Somebody gonna book the law of averages says if you got more than one kid, the fact that you owe all the kids go falling like, no, somebody gonna book. It's just, it's just the way it is. Just the way it is. And now when you be a. Deep breath. Hey, you had when your kids bucket you before I just a I just go back to what my grandma say, don't make me hurt you. Don't make me lose my job. Oh, yeah. Look, I had I had a daughter. Right. I had a daughter that was in the high school. Yes, sir. She wanted, you know, a she, you know, she got hormones going on. Yeah. Her and I talk about it all the time. She said, daddy, thank you. She says, I look back on it now. You're the type of dad that I need it. Because if I didn't have you, I would have probably run over my other dad and it would have been long term problems down the road. Now she said, I appreciate it. She said, I didn't see it at the time. I said, baby, you never do. I said, I'm only going to do us in the best interest of you. I'm not trying to harm you. I'm not trying to hurt you. I understand. I was, I've been your age. You've never been mine. That's what they all understand. I understand what you're going through. But I also, I said, let me talk to you. Let me talk to you as a guy that was 17, 18, 19, 20. And what I was looking to do and what I was trying to do to a young lady that was 17, 18, 19, 20. Hello. Hello. I ain't telling what somebody told me. I'm telling what I know. I lived it. Experiences is the best teacher. Yeah. So. I was, I was always her parent. I'm always, and I told her I was going to always be a parent. Um, but I'm going to try to understand what you're, what you're dealing with, what you're going through, but understand when I say no, it's no. It said no. We got rules. We got chores. We got to do what I got to do because I said you had to do it. No other reason why, but I said it. Right. No explanation. Hey, she'll tell you, I ran a tight ship. Oh, I did. I say, why? Hey, I did. Hey, Kayla, can you wash the dishes? Kayla washed the dishes. Kayla, take the trash out. Kayla, take the trash down to the road. I ain't reasoning with no damn child and I'm paying all the bills. I got a reason with you. Right. How about how? No. Because when you say, daddy, can I go here? Daddy, can I have some money? Can I do that? But then when I say do X, Y and Z, it was tough because like I said, uh, uh, and she would call a mom and you're like, what you want me to do? He run his house. I don't. Click. Joe, you, you had no problems on your end yet, huh? No, but it's lessons that they have to be learned the hard way on can. Oh, Joe, and I'm sure y'all understand it. Like I got a 19 yo. So, you know, hell, he, you know, he, a, for instance, check this out. So for spring break, he just had spring break, right? So he called me. He, he wanted, he wanted to get an Airbnb. He wanted a thousand dollars to get an Airbnb. So me, I'm like, look, man, you got other stuff you could be doing that you need to be attending to. Like I don't think, you know, spring break is that damn important. If y'all just want me to be 100 for you to be trying to spend a thousand dollars on an Airbnb to have some, some, some temporary fun. You know what I mean? Yeah. You blow a whole thousand versus you could have that thousand in your pocket and go do some, do some good with it. But he didn't see it that way. He felt he had to have a thousand dollars. So I sent him a thousand dollars. He blew it had a whole great weekend. Now look, get what he hit me with the next, the next week. He needs money. I should. Hey, look, I don't know what to do for you, bro. You're going to figure it out. You know what I mean? Like you got to figure it out because I was trying to tell you this from the start, like that temporary fun you trying to have. Yeah. It ain't worth it, my nigga. It ain't worth it with the home is. Yeah, it ain't worth it. It ain't worth it. Oh, okay. I'll tell you, just ain't worth it, bro. Like, you know, Joe, that's 19. Oh, Joe, you got to think about when you was 19, Joe. Oh, yeah, we have ish. Oh, Joe, when I was 19, I'll tell you what, I was in my first in college. I was not here trying to party in the spring break. Hey, look, I had gold. You're you're my man. So you had a vision boy. I ain't had no vision boy, but I had a damn vision. You hear me? Exactly. I knew I was trying to go and I wouldn't I wasn't doing that. I'm sorry. I wasn't doing that. I guess. Yeah, that's how it works. Yeah. And I don't get these kids like they think, man, you get that. No, it's the it's the principle. It's the point of the matter. Yeah, I just want you to understand when you become an adult, ain't nobody giving out no free money. Man, I just gave you X amount of dollars. You chose to go. You chose to go blow that money, which all your friends, which they probably ain't chipping nothing. That's how it was born. It's to tell my brother now he said, son, when you got too many drivers and not enough fixers, he said, y'all riding around all these dudes in the car. So when it go down, when it break down, who's gonna help you? Who's gonna pay for the flat? Who gonna incorporate a smart plug or whatever the case may be? He said, when you got too many drivers and not enough fixers. Okay. Yeah. So you got to understand. But like I said, she was very difficult. My son was pretty much like, look, there have been some times we have some low head. We we butt heads, but I think boys are way more fearful of their father than a girl. Yeah. Cause we got a little way, way, way, way, way more female. Yeah. Because they're like, well, he can't, he can't really do what he was cause you know, my son, mom was like, look, I ain't been to go back and forth with you. I'm just just getting the fuck. Hey, hey, what's up? He need to talk to you. Okay. So I already know now I'm already on one. What you need to talk to me for? Simple. Yeah. If I asked you to do that, would you have told me what you told your mom? Right. Right. Man, don't make me don't make me leave Denver. Oh, Joe, you ain't no problem. None of your. Nah, nah, Joe. Nah, Joe. And the only reason I haven't had any problem with Uncle Joe is cause they mama's don't play that. Yo, they mama's don't, but they were raised here. I bought you this. I'm somebody raised here. I bought you this. Where I take you out type of hell. No, but see you need, they need to live with you. No, they need to be with you. See, I had Kayla. Oh, he's about like permanently. Yeah, they need to be. They need every day when you say, no, you can't go. No, you can't go. No, I ain't giving you this. No, why are you buying that? Why you ordered that? Every day packages come out like, hold on, what the hell? I'm like, hey, storage or something. How you get a package every day? The Amazon. Yeah, I know exactly what he's talking about. Oh, whoa. Whoa, whoa. And you know, I'm a little lenient too. I know you are. I can tell you. I can tell you. Lelient. Hey, but you have to really push me. You have to do really, really do some, you really got no business. You know, for me to actually get out of character. Yeah, man, because you have to understand because of who we are now. Yeah, and they know that. I don't TV. You ain't gonna do nothing. You didn't feel you ain't gonna do nothing. You don't want to kind of pressure. Yeah, OK. But my thing is, is when when your kids tell you their goals and dreams, and they should just they add enough to the actions that they got going. No, you feel me? That's my biggest. That's my biggest thing. OK, I'm like, hold on. So you want to be X, Y, Z, but make it make sense to me, bro. You know what I mean? That's that's that's that's my biggest thing. It's like if you're not working toward whatever it is that you envision yourself being in the next five, 10, 15 years, then what the hell are you doing? Right. Just look, I don't. Hey, I don't care what you want to be. I'm only going to push you in the direction that you choose to go. I'm the wind behind your back. You say you open up. I'm pushing you forward because I can't want something for you more than you want it for yourself. Yeah. That's what I'm going to do. I don't want you. I live. I don't want you to do nothing because the thing why I was so worried about Joe and no Joe is that my kids like I did this for you. This ain't what I wanted to do. Right. I want you to do whatever you want to do. Hello. So therefore, that is your decision. I'm going to support you. I'm going to do everything I possibly can to help you reach the destination in which you're trying to get. So whatever you want to do, whatever major you want to major in, whatever school you wanted to go to. Gotcha. Yeah. That's how I was with my older son, Joe. Yeah. Playing football, playing football. See, it was young playing football. Arizona State playing football. And you know what, pops? This ain't really, it's really what I want to do. And he didn't want to tell me. He didn't want to tell me because he didn't want to upset me. He didn't want to feel like he would let me down. Say, man, you ain't let me down. But man, playing football was my dream. Yeah. Thank you. Oh, thank you. If you chose to play it, then so be it. I'm supporting you all the goddamn way. And when you say, you know, I know how to come and tell you, I say, man, you good, right? Now, what is it you do want to do? So I can get behind you and prepare you. Whatever it is you want to do. Right. I got you a thousand percent. If that's if that's not your dream, that's fine. You ain't got you. You told him perfect, oh, Joe, playing in the NFL was my dream. Right. I don't need. I don't need you to try to. And that's what I tell my kids. I've already done what I wanted to do. Right. I'm not going to live vicariously through you because I achieved it. I want you to achieve what you want to achieve. And then that's why I am. I'm the biggest support. You want to be a doctor, you want to be a lawyer, you want to regular. Whatever the case may be. I just want the best for you. Not what's best for Shannon. Because we have you got to understand. What motivated me? You didn't have that same stimuli. You had designer. You went to private schools. You have you came over. It was a three car garage that had Ferrari. You ate a there was whatever you wanted. There was never there was never a time that you said I want this for Christmas. And your mom told me even when I was like, no, that boy don't need. Get in the get in the bag. Hey. Get out of it. Shannon, she don't need that. Well, that's what she want. And I'm with you. I'm with you. But hey, I tell you what you can't do, though. You can't just lay in this house up under me and be no bomb. You can't just lay up under daddy and be no bomb. I ain't I ain't going for that one. None of them. You going for that one? I'm sorry. I ain't doing no one. None of them, Joe. Hey, I got 85 of them. You see me every day. You didn't see me at the height. Ain't it? See me lose it all and you don't see me get it all back. And I be damn. If anybody's going to be sitting there doing nothing, you're going to do something. Man, we don't care what it is. Yeah. This house got room for one lazy mofo. And there's me. And I ain't I ain't lazy. And I ain't lazy. Thank you. Thank you. Ain't nobody finish it up here and swing their feet on me. No, get it. And you can get it. And, you know, the thing is that daddy, though, you still daddy, you almost 60 and you still motivated. When you're going to stop, I say, stop and do what? Right. What am I going to stop and do? Tell me. I say, I just give me a plan. I want each of you to write down if your daddy stopped working tomorrow. What am I going to do? Daddy, you don't do nothing. So will you want me to stop and do less more nothing? That's what I told them all. I say, I want you to write down if your daddy stopped working tomorrow. What am I going to do? Daddy, you don't do nothing. You don't go on no vacation. You don't like to go out to eat. All you want to do is just stay up in the house and work. No, yeah. OK, so what? So I said, I didn't even say I said you're right. I'm almost 60. But I like to think I got a couple of most summers to go. So what I do in the meantime? What am I doing in the meantime? Oh, Jo and Joe, if if if I'm not going to if I do absolutely nothing. So I'm not going to do nightcap. I'm not going to do clubs. Shea, I'm not going to try. I'm not going to try to create and develop other shows and help other people achieve their dreams as far as in the podcast. May what am I going to do? That's it. Hard work is all I know. I've never I've never ran from away from a tough assignment or a hard work. Yeah, I just don't. I said, guys, I don't know what to tell you. It's like, hey, hey, I just there's no way you can be. One of mine and see me work. Joe, I'm talking about Joe. I'm getting to the bag, Joe. Yeah. You know, hustling. I'm talking about in those streets. I got about 50 left jobs on. Like, you see in it. So I got to be motivated. You got to be inspired. It got you got to want to do something. Yes. And that's what I'm saying. I'm I'll take my fourth episode of Club Shea Shea in the last three days. Yeah. So I've done nightcap on Wednesday, nightcap on Thursday, nightcap on Saturday, now. And guess what? I got another episode of Club Shea Shea to take. I got nightcap. Yes. What? On Tuesday, I'm going to wake up. I got another episode of Club Shea Shea. Yes. What? We got nightcap. I'm going to fly home and then I got another episode of Club Shea Shea and we got nightcap. And we got nightcap and we got nightcap. And guess what? Yeah, I got club shea and nightcap on Saturday. I'm with you. Putting that work in, right? That's it. So this notion, oh, man, you did. I don't know anything else that hard work. And that's what we grew up on. That's how I think we got out of the situation. It's not an accident, but it wasn't by design either. That two boys from Glenville, Georgia, population 3,500 went and achieved what we achieved. That's it wasn't by it wasn't an accident, but it wasn't by design because guess what? The same stimuli. Hard work. Because Barney for A, I'm going to have my brother come on here one night and tell him my ground for you to get up and say, get up. Hey, that's sleeping in. Barney for say, get up and watch the sunrise. Get up and watch the sunrise. On Saturday, ain't nobody sleeping in. Ain't no sleep. Oh, we're going to sleep till 9. No, Barney Porter would. Ain't no leads on the ground. What you mean, right beyond? Something to do. Yeah. So me, I'm the same way. I'll come home sometime. I was like, and I'll just start straightening up. I just start cleaning. I start vacuum. I start wiping everything down. I'm like, man, I mean, it was to the point every night before I went to bed, Joe. I had to wipe down the countertop. I had to clean the glass table. I had to sweep. I had to vacuum. I had to make sure everything was neat. I go through the covers. Every label, placing out all the napkins. I was like, man, damn, I need to break this habit. I just have that obsessive personality. Yeah. I just got it. I was in the shelter. No, I'm not coming. I'm not coming up. I'm not coming upstairs because you're going to put me to work. Yeah, how you know? I don't know. Because every time Shelly comes, I go through a real range, all the drawers again. I can't help it. I can't. I hate stuff out of place. Yeah. I get off the show, and I go through the house, and I pick up all the dog's toys because they got toys. They got toys all over the place. I pick up every toy, but they pack. And it's like, damn. Matt, take the mats, put them back in the drawer, slide the chairs in, but I got to turn them a certain way. Looking in the refrigerator, do I need to put water in there? Do I need to add another can of ginger ale? I just got over that. OCD heavy, bro. I am. I am. I am, OK. I am. I know it, too. I know it. I know it. But that's the way we grew up. And we had to do certain things. Like I said, my grandma used to say, boy, it ain't much. He's right. It wasn't much. It was a thousand square foot center block hung with tin roof. But she said, son, let's try to keep it clean. Yeah. Let's. The phone books, hey, there's a hole up the end tables. They were stacked up under their nice and neat. Yes, sir. Y'all don't know about the phone book. I do. And the series of Robust and JC Petticat laws. I do. They used to be this thick. Yeah. Big yellow ones. Yeah. Yeah, come on now. Yeah. Joe, check this out. Yardist says the Bucks haven't offered him an extension. Before we even talk about an extension, somebody got to offer me that. I don't wear the pants in my relationship. I got to ask my wife. If my wife says yes, yes. If she says no, no. It's up to her. So you got to ask her. Find her on social media. Follow her podcast. I don't know if she has one. Ask her whatever she says I do. And why he do that? He's throwing up trouble, huh? That's all he can see. The thing is, and Joe, you know this. He don't want that blowback that's going to come because he's asking for a trade. Everybody's going to get it. They haven't offered him a contract. Now, now I don't know if it's true, but they said if he doesn't sign to offer, it's hard for me to believe somebody is averaging 30 and 11 over the last two to three years. And they haven't offered him a contract extension. Yeah, that's hard for me to believe. So I'm telling my guy who them brought you a title. Like this ain't just no regular degla here. This dude, he putting it down, man. But for Yonahs to say that, like put everything on his wife, bro, come on, man. Remember, this is not the first time. Who did he put it on before? Joe D'Ocho? His agent. Yeah. Yeah, come on, man. Everybody, you see how he tries to put responsibility on everybody else? So will y'all blame my wife because she wanted to leave? Blame my agent because he did this deal. I ain't got nothing to do with me. Come on, man. What we doing? If you don't, hey, look, everybody ain't going to like you, bro. Thank you. I think you have to understand that. Yonahs has to understand that. Man, you ain't going to be at a please everybody, bro. As long as you happy, your family happy, that's the only thing that matters. That's it. You're going to have to, everything else going to have to kick rocks, partner, for real. Real talk. You know, I'm not sure what he's thinking, you know, throughout these times, I'm pretty sure they're difficult. But man, hey, the next chapter of your life, bro, you got to continue to move on. You got to continue to evolve. Like, I mean, if you're going to move on, just move on, man. Yes, that's it. You're going to get criticism, but he saw the blowback like LeBron got. Yeah. And LeBron didn't even ask for a trade. LeBron played his contracts out. Yeah. Kevin Durant, he's been traded, but Kevin Durant, they got, he got KD, he left, KD was a free agent. But when KD left the Nests and when KD left Brooklyn, what, I mean, excuse me, Nests and Phoenix, he got some pushback. OK, Yonahs. It's OK. You know what? Your time is probably run its course. Probably run its course and it's OK that you want to leave. You still a phenomenal player, but that comes with the territory. But don't put this on your wife. Don't put this on your agent. Hmm. You got to you got to embrace that villain role. Oh, hey, let me. You got to embrace being that villain. Hold on. That man, the most glaring thing that man say, his wife were the pants in that relationship. He said, he don't wear the pants. And that's how that's how you put all the responsibility on her and whatever. Exactly. Damn, it sounds good, but don't nobody believe that. Because guess what? She going to go where you go. Hello. It's really that simple. She's going where you go and this notion that the agent don't work at the behest of you. So somehow the agent is doing things behind your back that you don't know anything about. Your agent is talking to the Milwaukee bus. Yeah, he is. And to be his to you. He's telling he's telling he's telling upper management that Yonis isn't happy. He doesn't believe you guys can can feel the contender and he would like to move on. Hmm. Here's a list of the teams that he would prefer to be like to go to. Yeah. Miami's number one. If I if I'm if I'm Milwaukee, I said, you know what? We thank him for his services. We'll do everything that we possibly can do to accommodate him. But at the end of the day, we're going to take the best deal for the Milwaukee Bucks. Yes, sir. That's how it's always going to go. That's how it's always been.
