this weekend taking part in a Tik Tok trend by calling somebody near and dear to his heart to wish them good night it was a funny story we’ll get into that joe how’s your son doing man we missed yesterday’s show because of the uh illness how how’s he doing uh he’s doing better he’s just got some type of viral thing going on the best they can do is just give him some some meds to treat the symptoms but just got to write it out you know no antibiotics anything like that it’s just like stuff for for normal almost like a cold in a way you know that’s all we can do just treat the symptoms and that send him on his way i hope he’s going to be okay uh you know I am suffering from what is commonly referred to as the Vegas flu uh that’s when you go to Vegas and you party for three or four days and then you come back you’re not sick which you are you are hung over you are dehydrated and that’s what I am i spent one day in Vegas spent three days in Laughlin Nevada which by the way Chica loved Laughlin Nevada they have renovated it it’s amazing it’s on the Colorado River at the border of Arizona and New Mexico and I’m sorry Arizona and Nevada rather on the Nevada side and it’s so beautiful it’s it’s it’s in the middle of nowhere you’ve got these seven or eight casinos all lined up you got Edgewater Hara you got Tropicana Aquarius you’ve got Golden Nugget all just boom boom boom boom boom boom boom right next to each other it’s Vegas it’s low stakes Joe they’re playing $5 crabs they have five and $10 blackjack hands uh it’s low stakes but man it’s so much fun over there and he asked the question mockingly Joe did you win any money in in in No not mockingly it’s like no I was wondering if you won money because usually when you go you win some money i typically break even pretty pretty often right uh Chica and I got our ass handed to us when we went to Lake Charles the other day but uh I tell you what man we were hitting like crazy there in Laughlin we were hitting I mean I I’d say collectively we probably hit four or five slot machines that were five to600 $500 to $700 um I would say that I I won a blackjack they had a really cool blackjack game Joe that was kind of interesting which was if you got blackjack they let you spin a wheel and you got to win an additional dollar amount you had to Annie up for that but it was pretty cool uh you also won money if the dealer busted there’s a variation of blackjack that was pretty cool i wanted slots i wanted everything but craps craps is the only game that I did not do well on i would say overall wanted probably I’d say we came home with about 2,000 more than what we started with which isn’t bad it was a free trip when it was all said and done literally was a free trip because I used mileage to go over there to buy my tickets and my rooms got comped so we we actually got paid to be there we want to hear the story about this damn Tesla that you rented oh my god I’m so glad you brought that up because I didn’t know you were going to we show up we We rented out a midsize SUV right and it says it could be like this type of vehicle right it could be like a maybe a Toyota Highlander or a midsize they didn’t say which one right we show up and they’re like “Here’s your SUV sir.” And they give us a Tesla car they’re like “Well the inside of an SUV i turned it in yesterday sweating bullets because we’re out in the middle of the desert there’s no charging stations you want to turn the AC on cuz it’s 108° outside.” And it says your projected battery uh um percentage left over at the end of the at the end of the drive is going to be this and I’m like “Oh no big deal says 16% got down to 14 got down to 12 got down to 10 joe I pulled in to the dollar rental with 2% battery left over and you know how when you have a gas when you buy a when you rent a car you have to bring it back full or you got to pay to have it uh you got to pay like $6 a gallon to to fill it up they require you to either a pay 30 bucks to bring it at any charging level or they will charge you based on how long that it takes for them to charge it right i paid the 30 bucks thank god because watching that thing get charged took effing forever joe two hours just to go ahead and get it to what 50 miles or something dude it’s so stupid it is so stupid teslas are the dumbest cars I’ve ever seen no no you said it drove like [ __ ] oh my god dude you You put your foot off the gas it stops you know you know any regular car you take your foot off the gas it just coasts it stops it is the stupidest car I’ve ever driven in my entire life they’re like “Oh well you save money on gas.” But you lose time because you have to sit there for two hours to wait to get charged or or drive around parking lots looking on on on maps going “Hey where’s the the nearest charging station?” And then there’s a difference between the supercharger and a regular charger regular charger takes forever to charge up 12 hours the supercharger will do it in two hours zero to 100 in two hours right these casinos have these charges in them and then it’s like you you show up to one of them they might not have it in stock or they it might there might be none of them there or they’re all being taken it was brutal joe I will never own a Tesla i will never buy a Tesla i will never rent a Tesla ever again or any EV i am liberal about lots of things but those cars are whack man it didn’t drive like a car you’re saying it wasn’t like a normal car uh it drove like a go-kart at the golf cart like at the golf cart yeah and then he have to and then and then like it was it was it was a paddle shifters on top of it all you know there was nothing manly about that Tesla car that was a weak car and for the And just for the record I own Tesla stock okay so I hope they make a ton of money but I’m somebody who will never ever ever get that hey Joe guess what I did last night Joe what’ you do it finally happened took two years Joe two long freaking years finally signed my divorce papers yesterday finally finally got it signed i was at the Austin Burkstrom International Airport my attorney going “Here’s the decree and docy sign it and I read it you know during we we flew from Vegas to Austin you made sure no changes were made sign so yeah so that two-year nightmare is finally over Joe officially officially done yeah i I I I am now lighter in the pockets because of it but I’m glad that it’s over moving on bro you closed the book to that chapter moving on to something different oh I know i mean two years Joe two years it took hey so now we can go have the celebratory uh good cigar somewhere yeah uh I I have a bottle of bourbon i don’t know what the next step is cuz it’s going to be taken to the Bear County Court today uh I don’t know what the next step is like is it on the spot is there a time frame by which we have to like because I’m the one who filed and I filed like two years ago and I don’t know what the next step is he my attorney is making it seem like I don’t have to do anything like just hang tight you know just be there i’ll be in San Antonio later on this week because it’s Father’s Day weekend and I’m excited about that i’m getting my daughter she’s going to be coming back and going to be with me for the next six weeks so pretty excited about it hey Joe best part of the uh trip to uh Laughlin yeah going into a room that was built for coinos man I tell you what the number of mirrors on the wall over there and on the bed the hell’s going on man is it the heart-shaped bed it wasn’t the heart-shaped bed and no it’s not like Clark Griswall where you put the quarter in and it starts to vibrate it wasn’t that but I was just It was like a little mirror it was like the full bed length mirror yeah yeah what the hell is going on here look at what Sam Selenus is saying he goes “Mike meet me at Mike i got you on the cigar.” Nice spinx cigars very cool he’s serious he says “Let’s go let’s go man let’s go dude saturday.” There’s that other place that I was telling you about that’s right across from the Rock and Bruce that cigar place that they have right across the street from Rock and Bruce over there on 16004 so you go in there Mike and it’s like they have a nice nice lounge right leather sofas everywhere they have a bar in there and you can get you a pour you can go right next door you know where they have they sell the cigars get your cigar go into the bar sit down they got TVs all over the place you can watch a game or something sit down just smoke a cigar right there in the air condition enjoy you a nice pour it’s a It’s a nice place man i got to check it out man sounds badass i I I’ve driven by it multiple times uh I got to check that out uh I was checking out UTSA baseball congratulations man round of applause UTSA baseball their season came to an end at the super regionals i got swept by the UCLA Bruins over the weekend i was in Vegas i was in Laughlin uh watching them play uh it was so cool though man and let’s give him a clap m Mike I’m going to go ahead and put this on here [Applause] they’re doing good you know what a run what a run for the UTSA Road Runners essentially the basketball ver version of it all is that they made the Sweet 16 right that’s what they did uh they got up 20 against UCLA in game one i was super excited second pitch of the game homer to left field utsa was up they were up 2 going into the fourth inning uh end up losing that game 5-2 then they lost seven zil 7 yesterday uh that was um u brutal to watch but at the end of the day uh we’re very very proud uh to see UTSA do well considering the fact that they don’t have the facilities they don’t have the field they don’t have the NIL money and they still made it that far they beat UT second rank Texas Longhorns twice in Austin what a run for the Road Runners fantastic hopefully UTSA takes care of them yeah and I know the football team’s big and and all but UTSA baseball just put themselves on the map and that is good dude that that’s a very very good thing you know and it’s a they put themselves on the map and maybe now that they put themselves on the map and show that they can compete at a high level hopefully that translates into them getting some better facilities man it’s Yeah it’s long overdue man it’s time need something need something now uh Jonathan Pettis is on our YouTube stream which is powered by MC General Contracting y’all seeing bald ass Wemby What was going on with all that because I kept on seeing the photos when I was checking Twitter over the weekend apparently he’s he’s Where is he Joe is he in the Philippines or where is he at no he’s in China dude so he’s out there visiting at the Great Wall of China right that’s right that’s right so he’s doing his thing you know doing his tour over in China and let’s be honest dude this is probably going to be a business visit he’s out there inking a deal with some Chinese manufacturer of either clothing shoes something you know it’s It’s not He’s not out there just to be on vacation it’s a business meeting now is this AI stuff or did this really happen this is legit from what they’re saying so Spernandez our good friend Rick Fernandez United States Marine Corps retired uh tweeted out there about an hour ago saying that he’s tired of this that he’s like done with watching this stuff of Webby in China he’s not impressed i 100% endorse that i I am I agree with Fernandez when it comes to this because I saw this all weekend long and every time I looked at it I just I was not interested or fascinated at all by this but there is a thing for uh NBA players to go to China because China is the number two market some would say maybe even the number one market for the NBA and the reason for that is because they have four times more people than than the United States do all the jerseys get manufactured over there man shoes everything come on and you know NBA players go over there we saw that with uh Kobe and we saw that back in the day with with other Dwight Young uh Dwight Young Dwight Howard uh LeBron they all go out there and they try to build a brand and it’s an international brand and that’s why whenever people threaten to to to boycott the NBA they don’t care because here’s the thing about Major League Baseball the NFL their their bread and butter is domestic right so we say that the NFL is king and that is true the NFL is king in the United States but no one cares about the NFL outside of the United States you get a couple of games in Germany a couple of games in the UK but they don’t really follow these teams the NBA could lose its popularity in the United States and guess what be perfectly fine because all the international all the international markets Europe follows the NBA China follows the NBA Australia follows the NBA everyone else follows the NBA it’s not just the NBA truly is basketball truly is a an international sport just like soccer is yeah and look at what Rafa says when you And JHSB says WBY doing everything but practicing basketball no lies detected oh no no he played horse with that guy on the north side the other day my kid he’s out there living his life he’s out there at the Shaolin Monk Temple or whatever decides “Hey man you I’m playing a good picture here why don’t you he let one of the monks shave his head bald so he can go out there and hang out with them for 10 days or whatever doing a fast learning about that you know that religion that the monks are into learning about their culture and their ways and whatnot i guess he wants to be have a a spiritual enlightening kind of thing but regardless of that the spiritual enlightening I’d rather have him have an inside game exactly that’s what I was going to get to he was like instead of all this why doesn’t he spend the time on the court getting to you know do something with his game you know if the if the the rumors are true he’s actually 7 foot six get your ass under the basket enough of chunking threes man get your ass underneath the basket dude we’re getting some love right now man we’ve got some Go ahead and come in one from Text Frank and one from Sam Selenus here we go money talk here comes the money text Frank says “Thank you so much for the $10 super chat.” Says “Quote a great job to UTSA baseball spurs hopefully make a good offseason move wby needs a 2 and 0 neck tattoo and Cowboys start camp he wants the GTO.” For those of you who are in the Netherlands for those of you who are in France watching this this is what’s called the GTO okay or as as my girl calls it the Navajo battlecry during sex oh god here is the greo that that he is paid for all right that’s right we also have a final super chat coming in from Sam Selenus and the Drew Show yeah let me go ahead and get to these real quick sam says quote I got to play this you got to play the jingles here comes the money samson says “I’m tired of speculative Spurs talk no action no comment from the Spurs tired of super pictures of KD and or Giannis in Spurs jerseys.” Uh we’re going to get to the Before we get to Drews let’s talk about that real fast the good thing I can say about this Sam is that in two weeks all the speculation goes away yeah because we’re going to have the NBA draft in just over two weeks and at that point all the trade rumors are pretty much going to die at least 90% of them okay uh I understand not wanting to see other players in a Spurs jersey you know that are that are photoshopped we saw that when it says Laker fans want to have WBY and they show WMY in a Lakers jersey right i don’t want to see that either but the fact of the matter is is that there is probably stuff going on behind the scenes that we’ll never know the one thing that we one thing that we know for sure though is that it seems like Giannis isn’t going anywhere because that’s that was the big rumor can the Spurs go after Giannis and Brian Winhorse on ESPN and yesterday Joe they fit him in one box today brian Winhorse on ESPN said there is no market for Giannis there’s no trade market no trade offers for him and that he has not asked for a trade so basically saying that the idea of him going anywhere is fantasy land at this point right now maybe maybe it’s because the asking price is too high maybe it’s because Giannis doesn’t want to go anywhere maybe he’s he’s he’s dedicated to that franchise whatever the case may be fact of the matter is that as of right now there’s nothing there can that change obviously things can change but as of now nothing’s there and Brian Winhorse was was there saying “Oh is this right here?” Yeah he says “Right now there is no young trademark.” Can we hear from from from Brian Winhorse here yeah I’ll go ahead and get the video this is on ESPN’s Get Up this morning yep we’ll hear from him right now but right now there is no Giannis Attenakmpo trade market there is no Jiannis tenno trade discussions he has not asked for it the Bucks are not looking to trade him and I just want to point something out about Carl Towns while everybody in New York may want to trade him he is an in his prime allNBA player that contributed significantly to the Knicks going the farthest they have in 25 years right i just want to point that out right now Carl Anthony Towns talk that he was talking about that’s Brian Winhorse on ESPN’s Get Up this morning talking to Mike Greenberg the no market for him and then going on to Carl Anthony Towns was saying all these teams that thought that they had a chance to go get Giannis are now doing what pivoting towards Kevin Durant and I know Kevin Durant’s what 36 years old going to be 37 next season but he’s still a 50 4030 guy right he’s he’s guy gets 30 points per game shoots 50% from the field 40% from three the guy is still a stud he’s still an allar he’s still an offensive juggernaut carl Anthony Towns though if the Knicks want to get uh KD that would have to be the person they got rid of and and Wayne Horse was asking the question is that really what you would want to do as a Knicks fan to do that but the the idea of the Spurs getting Kevin Durant is a big big deal uh you know you’d see all these figureheads on Talking Heads on ESPN saying that the two places that seem most likely are San Antonio and Houston and then either team that gets him and I believe in this too either team that gets Kevin Durant Spurs or Houston is going to be poised for a championship run you put a team out there with Durant WBY on the on the same team together with uh and you get Dylan Harper got Stefon Castle De’Rian Fox Sohan playing defense not having to shoot the ball anymore that is a solid team Joe that is a super solid team yeah we have also a incoming super chat from the Drew Show as well so we’re going Yeah Drew show talking about the money here we go here comes the money and he says “If you’re an NBA player you have to genulect to the CCP which is the Chinese government.” Yeah it’s mandatory like jury duty it’s slave labor not actual slavery um you know it’s it’s interesting how there are people who are like very very anti-China and some that are okay with China i I’m kind of indifferent when it comes to it all uh but the fact of the matter is is that whether we are somebody who is liberal or conservative we rely on Chinese labor all the time china Vietnam Indonesia look at the back of your shirt i’m wearing a Nike shirt right yeah i bet you it’s made in China i bet you you know where all the steel in the United States comes from china china they make their own they make a very small percentage of steel that’s made here in America that’s used here but mostly everything is imported right yeah hey uh so going back into the the Spurs talk with uh going after certain players we have people in our chat going out saying especially go after Lori Markin and Jonathan C saying that dude Lori Markin’s always hurt dude lori Markin is a brutal brutal player uh we’ve seen players like LeBron James superstar LeBron James go out and say that Lori Markin is one of this his favorite players to watch saying that he has a great skill set which is true yeah he does yeah but you’re going to play 50 games cuz that’s what he does that’s all he’s good for i mean he’s one step above Kawi Leonard in availability is Lori Markin everybody wants Lori Markin you know who else won at Lori Markin james Pledger yeah oh he’s in love with Lori Markin and if Lori Markin played 80 games a year 75 games a year he’d be he’d be a star but he doesn’t yeah you know getting back to this KD to SA talk you know we saw a lot of the chatter and we even seen Jeff Garcia retweet the comments that were being made about KD is he really coming to San Antonio or not and then we had this that you know earlier today or yesterday should I say Jeff retweeted out and it says Bill Simmons is stirring the pot believes Kevin Durant Spurs trade might already be finalized just not announced yet and he goes on to say wouldn’t be he wouldn’t be surprised if KD to the Spurs is done already and they just haven’t announced it yet basically they’ve agreed to specifics just announce announce it on the week of the draft this goes back to the Giannis thing i think that the trade for KD because it costs less is what he’s saying he thinks the Spurs are going to trade for KD KD because it costs less and they have to give up less in order to obtain him well do we do we have sound of Bill Simmons from the Ringer no we don’t have it i think this is via YouTube and if I play it through YouTube they’re going to go ahead and knock us Okay for playing that because it’s copyrighted material yeah you’re right so Bill Simmons just basically said that uh he thinks that a trade has already been done that that he would not be surprised by this because I think a lot of times whenever we see a draft day trade we think to ourselves man they just got it done that day or they got it done that hour but he was basically saying that trades are often times announced on draft night or the day before draft night but they were really consummated week two three weeks before and for him to go off and say “Hey go off and get Kevin Durant get Webby his mentor get an offensive shooter who can knock down 40% from three can shoot 27 points per game and score you 27 points per game get all that get Dylan Harper keep your draft picks and basically just reload that way is the appropriate way of doing things man and and Kevin Durant what’s it going to cost?” Well Well I mean here’s the thing houston also wants him it’s not like we’re the only team that is going after him so I know a lot of Spurs fans are there going “Well we we’ll trade the 14 Vel and Bar and Harrison Barnes that may in fact get it done.” But if you know Houston’s offering somebody if Houston’s offering Jaylen Green who has struggled if they’re offering players that are young and hungry they’re not going to offer Thompson they’re not going to offer uh but maybe what if what if they offer a Shenon what if they offer somebody who is a a a borderline all-star that’s what the Spurs have to compete with what we can’t do as Spurs fans or the Spurs organization can’t do rather is take this and say if you want to go get Durant go get Durant right i don’t give a I don’t give a crap if it costs Kelvin or Sohan or Devin or whomever as long as it doesn’t cost Castle Fox WBY buy Dylan Harper everybody else is on the table yeah they’re all tradable assets you know at the end of the day I don’t think Spurs fan would be mad if they go ahead and get Kevin Durant on this team kevin Durant will be great with the Spurs this Spurs starting five justin asked the question what’s a realistic offer for KD now KD correct me wrong if I’m wrong is in the final year of his deal right correct but what if you offer them what if you offer them um the 2026 swap that the Spurs have with Atlanta or the 2027 pick that we have from Atlanta cuz you got to think about the Suns that would be attractive to them because as they move forward and they’re going to go into a rebuild mode they know they’re not going to be good very good for the foreseeable future so those picks would be coming in clutch for them mhm you know so I think that’s attractive and somebody in the chat had even said “Sons are wanting to rebuild and recoup all the draft picks that they lost building this super team so Spurs have the edge there.” They do cuz they have the draft picks and again that might be something that’s uh more attractive to the Phoenix Suns if they’re looking to go ahead and move KD and you know all these things are rumors they’re not it’s not nothing that’s you know solidified or it’s going to really stick i I fully expect to come out you know on draft day and the chatter will be of course Kevin Durant Kevin Durant but I don’t think anything’s gonna happen with the San Antonio Spurs and Kevin Durant i think it’s going to be one of those things that draft day comes and goes spurs go ahead and select their number two pick their number 14 pick and the other pick that they have forgot what it was 38 or 41 or something like that and there you go you know not not a lot of uh things going on as far as wheeling and dealing that might happen after the draft who knows but before I don’t think so hey Joe you know I I agree with you we’re not going to know anything until draft time happens right um but Joe you have a phone number there that people can send us links what What is that number there yeah so if they want to go ahead and be a part of the show what they can do is go ahead and be part of something we call media share so if you want to go ahead and share any pictures links to articles video anything of that nature the number is 830391-9164 just text it to that number and we’ll show it in the context of the show i’m going to send you one right now Jeff yeah go ahead so I just sent it to you right now and if you want to click on that there’s an article on sportsary.com that’s talking about DraftKings i’m sorry FanDuel sports book okay and they have the odds out for who’s Kevin Durant going to play for next all right let me go ahead and show that here now that I pulled that up and again that’s how the media share works man we even use it here as the show’s going on live and there you go there you go this is this is written this weekend rocket Spurs set his favorites now they have for this upcoming season the Rockets at 3 to1 odds plus 300 they have him returning to Phoenix at plus 470 so basically just under 5 to1 odds but the second best team to get him via a trade they have the San Antonio Spurs at plus 650 6 and a half to1 odds followed by Minnesota New York and then the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Dallas Mavericks and there you are so I find this to be fascinating Joe the Rockets and Spurs are poised to be the one dude if Durant goes to the Rockets it’s game over dude it’s game over it’s Oklahoma City it’s Houston and then it’s everybody else at that point and I think what the Spurs organization needs to realize is that this is an arms race and we have to compete with Oklahoma City and Oklahoma City is going to win the championship this year i know that they lost home court Joe they’re still going to win this series in five Joe they’re because they’re the better team who you think you really believe that yeah still it’s still Thunder and five thunder and five okay we got the video for that because I’m still picking Pacers and six i said I never wavered i said that they were going to probably go ahead and if they needed to get a game we both agreed it would be the first game now we didn’t say that they you didn’t say that they were going to come out and win i kind of said “Hey I think they’re going to take the first one.” that happened you know but of course OKC came out and they went ahead and took the second game-h handedly now they’re going to go ahead and move over and compete in Indiana now I think it’s going to be another split but at some point in time I think Indiana will do enough to go ahead and win some other games and I think it’s going to end in six but I got the Pacers in six okay okc clamp down on Hallebertton game two they clamped down on them pretty hard that means somebody else has to step up right but Hallebertton’s your star though he’s the best player on that team i mean all Seattle comes to well but Hallebertton two halves two halves for the Indiana Pacers hallebertton might not do a goddamn thing that first half but you know what when it comes to that fourth quarter that’s his time to shine man the brother will just go off some point at some point the clock turns midnight dude it turns midnight at some point and and I I’ve enjoyed the team of destiny aspect of it all but at some point dude that goes away man you know that that that’ll get you far but that doesn’t always take you over the top the better team is Oklahoma City and it’s by far the better team they clamp down on on Hallebert in game two all they got to do is win one of those games in in Indiana which they are in fact I believe they’re going to win both games in Indiana all they got to do is do that and we come back home they got they’re gonna take care of it in five show they’re the super chat yep let’s play the jingle here we go drew show says “Did anyone declare Durant as their sona GM trade machine thingy?” Spurs Twitter sure did jump off Giannis with quickness lol long off season well you kind of have to this reminds me Joe thank you for the the super chat there Drew this reminds me of going to the bar and if you really like a girl and you want to ask her out and she’s not interested what do you do pivot to the friend you pivot to the friend right giannis is apparently off the market giannis is there going “You’re you’re you’re trying to talk to the cute girl at the bar the cute girl being Giannis.” Giannis went like this married not stepping out that’s dumb cuz Giannis what’s he going to do with the Bucks the Bucks probably aren’t going to even sniff an NBA Finals anytime soon they’re not good enough man i I guess he has loyalty that we don’t appreciate you know it’s just like the Spurs in the front office how they have that stupid gentleman’s agreement that’s a thing of the past man you can’t be doing that crap no more you know f your feelings just go ahead and go out there and just It’s a business decision you can’t be making side bets with these guys and be like “We’re going to cut you but we’re going to bring you right back.” No we’re going to cut you bye you’re gone hey Giannis’s being loyal to Milwaukee i mean he ain’t going to win but at the same time that’s a big win for small market teams it is why would he want to stay maybe he just loves the community there i don’t know but Brian Winhorse of ESPN uh this morning coming out and saying there’s no trade market for Giannis there’s been no trades for him he has not requested a trade basically saying that there’s a 99.999% chance that it’s not going to happen he has two years left in this deal anyway bill Walk doesn’t have to do anything yet so all the attention is now going to who’s the second best free agent available Kevin Durant the thing about it is this the whole Yiann is going to the Spurs thing i never understood i never understood because I don’t see how he fits on this team yes he’s a top five player in the NBA and you want to have superstars and I would have been thrilled if he came to the Spurs but in the system of what the Spurs are trying to fit he doesn’t fit kevin Durant sure as hell does kevin Durant is the perfect free agent for the Spurs not only because it’ll cost less the Spurs can keep their war chess and keep Dylan Harper but it’s perfect because that’s exactly what the Spurs need where do we say the Spurs need Joe yeah bucket getter man bucket getter you need someone to score buckets you need a three-point threat not just one like Champany who could knock down threes and then disappear for two weeks not like uh Harrison Barnes who you know we we know we know we’re going to get 13 from him we’re going to get 13 14 points but that’s it we need somebody who could volume shoot threes at a 40% clip and that’s what Kevin Durant does man we need somebody who can mentor WBY wby plays like Durant that’s perfect Joe he is the perfect free agent for this team the problem is that over the problem is that down I 10 you got the Houston Rockets who have better pieces to offer so what do the Spurs have to offer we have picks but are we going to mortgage the future by getting rid of Dylan Harper the answer should be no no speaking of which Bobby Marks from ESPN coming out saying that the top 10 play uh teams to watch this year are the include the Spurs and they have these draft analysts going out and saying that that there’s a there’s three tiers of NBA of drafts this year one is superstar that’s Cooper Flag number two they said the future allstar Dylan Harper and they’re going off and say Bobby Marks all these guys coming out and saying they don’t believe anybody three and below is all-star material drew show with another $2 super chat what’s going on Drew here we go says the bar so Spurs definitely ending up with a fat chick you know we do have a a video here from Mario Kassos who’s been uh sharing with the media share and we’re talking about you know trade scenarios and stuff like that and this is pretty funny this is how you become part of the show here and he’s saying sharing a little excerpt from Gilbert Arenas on Carl Anony’s Towns he’s saying he’s built like a girl he has girl hips he’s like a full WNBA player oh god thanks Mario we appreciate you and we appreciate Drew joe did you know that there was a Puerto Rican basketball league i had no idea there was a Puerto Rican basketball league but I know where this is going so he was ejected from a basketball game demarcus Cousins who formerly played for the Sacramento Kings that’s where he was best known for let me get He was known as a bit of a hothead in the NBA is apparently playing basketball out in Puerto Rico and Yahoo Sports says that he was close to creating another Malis the Palace yesterday because of a fighting of a with a fan there he goes he got into a verbal altercation with a fan and you could see and he’s being thrown out of the game and fans start throwing beer on him look at as he goes gets out of the arena okay can you find a different angle real fast because there there’s a great angle of him close up down low yeah i’ll see what else I can find for him so here’s the thing the fan was out there flicking him off just throwing him the bird like this as this was all going down i You know what i don’t fully blame Demarcus Cousins demarcus Cousins there needs to be some sort of of of police to the fans too joe hey man it comes with the game you know it’s part of No it doesn’t it doesn’t though you get to get Joe you and I went to the Spurs game right we’re in the fifth row what do they say you can’t do this you can’t do that you can’t do this if you want to sit down here Joe you and I were in the fifth row we had to basically agree to certain types of behavior we were there with Leha too and me me and Lea were heckling Zack Collins the whole game even the Portland Trailblazers uh players heard us we’re calling them bootycrumbs yeah well it’s not but you weren’t throwing the finger at them no I was calling You were cursing at them booty crumbs booty crumbs and the Portland Trailblazers players looked at me and Lehan and they started laughing cuz cuz we’re calling our own guy booty crumbs look at that there’s the video mic there he is with the fan throwing him the finger right there you see that [Laughter] i know the player got up and got on the court f that dude he wanted that smoke like like what is he going to do you want that smoke demarcus Cousins should just retire joe here comes the transition speaking of retirement we’re going to hear it soon from Patty Mills by the way before we go to Patty Mills Drew show with another $5 super chat here comes the money here we go money talk says cousins better watch himself he’ll end up like Bruise or Brody them Ricans don’t play small but they may be small but they don’t play height doesn’t matter correct as heck too ah it’s okay man they they get pissed off because they get hurricanes all the time dude you know they get blown away by by hurricanes every other year uh but Joe where we’re talking about retirement uh Patty Mills has not officially retired from the NBA but basically he has patty Mills is now gonna be the general manager of the University of Hawaii if you go on to my uh my Twitter account Joe I posted a video of him talking about why he’s making that move uh Patty Mill is one of the the the most popular Spurs fan uh players the last 25 years won multiple chips with the Spurs he is a fan favorite we love him what a great guy in the community patty Mills is loved i don’t know multiple chips i think he won one right 2014 is is what he won he’s won multiple chips I believe here with the San Antonio Spurs there you go let’s see what he has to say let’s hear it patty I’m quite curious um have you ever played in Hawaii at the Stan Sheriff Center or I mean if you have I mean I’m sure it was probably like a key uh intriguing uh part of the reason why you picked Hawaii yeah it’s it’s a great question and for those that that don’t know my um my connection to uh um goes back to 2007 when I played in the Rainbow Classic um at the Stan Sheriff so um was able to to take out that trophy um and a little MVP trophy that now is in my uh parents’ house um on the top shelf of the trophy cabinet so it’s locked away nice and nice and safe um but as I said that was the first connection to uh and to um Hawaii and again the the connection um of what I felt then um was very similar to my my upbringing right so you know years later me and my wife get married at Baya Bay and we had the entire family come over from Australia and the the similarities as I felt um they felt as well so um uh yeah it’s it’s now now when I’m sitting here talking about it it’s um it’s definitely not easy to describe it’s it’s definitely a feeling that that you feel um and I probably don’t describe it enough but it’s it’s one that definitely feels like a home and and also a part that um you know you can add value to as well but um you know I’m very very grateful for the community first and foremost for for welcoming with with open arms u me and my family um especially my wife um you know all those years ago um so grateful for that that’s former Spurs Patty Mills that’s courtesy of Justin Batiz uh Patty Mills uh an all-time fan favorite for the Spurs you know you look back at his career uh he was the height man for the Spurs squad was knocked down three after three after three for this team uh no one waved a towel better than Patty Mills ultimate towel waiver loved Patty Mills out there just a fan favorite man great guy in the community now he’s transitioning out of the NBA and into college basketball now he can make a name for himself in there as he said he got married in Hawaii he has some an affinity for a while he has visited there several times and now he’s a resident of Hawaii patty Mills now the general manager of the University of Hawaii basketball squad very nice congratulations to him yeah very nice to him man and we got an incoming chat here from Justin R he says “Congratulations guy to a big part of the two finals teams and an Olympics bronze medal.” That’s right yeah so one chip that’s in 2014 uh I I often times forget that the Spurs lost in 2013 just want to get that memory out of my head you know what Drew is actually right here is we never had FIVA Patty in a regular season Spurs game we never did well the the re the reason for no FIA Patty is we don’t play FIA rules i mean FIA Patty is done in FIA rules with a FIA court and a FEA basketball so so what FIA basically is for those of you who don’t know that’s the way that they play international basketball the basketball court dimensions are different the ball that they use is different the lane is different the the foul calling is different so FIA when when Patty goes and plays ball over there it’s almost like playing Joe at the park mhm you know with no blood no foul you in the NBA ticky tac fouls happen all the time which is why it takes a while for the NBA players to get acclimated to playing FIA basketball whether it be in the FIA cup or whether it be in the Olympics or whatnot because they’re used to drawing certain fouls ticky tac fouls that send them to the line right but in FIA dude you can get mauled and not get a call for a foul dude it’s just that’s just the way they play ball so we didn’t get FIA Patty because we don’t play FIA rules over here in the United States we play this lame ass version of of basketball called the NBA justin saying Feba Patty had the greatest of green lines uh also the dimension of the three-point line was different joe it was like easier we played FIA ball which is weird because FIA ball so is so rough why was he not ready for that the first year of the NBA second year of the NBA little bit that kind of concerned me a little bit wimby Wimby’s not the physical type man remember like Bobby Bier remember the water where that coach came in to the other coach’s room and he says “I’m taking that green notebook with all your plays.” Goes “It’s going to get awfully physical in here.” And he just sits down and cowers away that’s Wimby man no I say it with my chest out i ain’t scared to take this he needs help dude he needs some shooting help big time them Charlin Monks can give him man what he needs to do is get down there and go play some man ball somewhere and get you know bodied and pushed around and get angry and have people in his face talking [ __ ] to him that’s going to make you play harder because you’re used to that stuff already yeah you should he should have been he was playing with grown ass men in France you should have been ready for it you should have been ready for Dylan Brooks man that pissed you off Joe look at coach dylan Brooks locked him up wimy’s coach Klein little Dylan Brooks holding him down you better not get too close to me cuz it’s going to get awful physical in here he cowers away you know Spurs need to get part of this arms race and we’ve done some of it Joe the arms race to get in Dear Fox which is big i don’t think Spurs fans you in particular Joe h understand how how good Dear Fox is and can be for this team it’s weird Joe because like we look at the Spurs team getting 34 wins but we didn’t have Darren Fox for 65 of those games and when he was here he was hurt and then Wimi got hurt if the Spurs are a healthy team Joe just as they are right now by getting Dylan Harper that’s a 45 win team it better be a 45 win team joe when I was at the sports books the the the uh the sports books in uh Vegas and in Laughlin right the Caesar sports books i’m looking at those odds for the Spurs winning the title getting lower and lower and lower which means that the betters are buying into the Spurs having a good team this year i saw the Spurs at 16 to1 it’s not bad 16 to1 to win the championship spurs get Kevin Durant spurs are going to be six to one to get him to to win that chip yeah the Drew Show wants me to read his uh buy me a coffee uh post that he put on i’m gonna go and read that thank you by the way Drew Show we appreciate you man yeah we do put that up here for him right now and we’ll just give him the money jingle here comes the money here we go here comes the money so he says “Joe I hope your son is doing better.” Thank you Drew he is appreciate that is so is WBY shaving his head and living with the Shaolin monks the Bball equivalent of the Beatles studying transcendentel he says medi meditation in India with Yogi Yogi Mahari says Maharshi he says is this is he going to get into psychedelics and make Abby Road or will he go the way of Dewey Walkard thank you hey man I’m I’m not I’m not I I’m not going to to diss anybody for a spiritual awakening if that helps him be become a better person uh that’s great man but I’m more interested in him becoming a better ball player he is an all-star he’s he should have won the defensive player of the year if he hadn’t gotten hurt i get it uh but I don’t know man that all seemed like photo ops to me how far do you think the Spurs are going to get next year because we’ve gone on record me you and Pledger and we said the trajectory of the team is playoffs are bust if they don’t at least make it to the playoffs it’s a wasted season fully healthy right if you have a fully healthy squad meaning that you have De’Aran Fox healthy Wambi healthy Castle healthy Vel everybody on the team healthy you would think that you would give yourself a chance to get past a playin i don’t really see that for this team yet because they’re still missing pieces and every time you go up a notch like you’re going to go and compete at the playin level the intensity is amped up the physicality is amped up the Spurs aren’t really a physical team man they don’t get they don’t get down in the trenches anymore that’s not them that’s not their identity they don’t have one their identity right now is being soft if you want to get far into the fi into the playoffs beyond just the playin you got to let your balls drop man you got to go out there and you got to go play man ball you gotta you know get in the transes you got to go ahead and get physical i don’t see this team capable of that yeah cuz you know who they are already right and and I think that Wii has time to grow that pair that we’re talking about no man he’s shaved his head my He’s 20 years old Joe he’s 20 years old no bro 20 20 years old 21 years old he has time because he’s younger now he’s still younger than what Robinson was and what Duncan was when they first joined this team and he’s already an all-star so he has time to grow into that i’m not going to really judge Wii too much on not having that dog in him i’ll give him some crap about it from time to time but I won’t go like ballistic on it probably until he’s 23 beginning you know him from back in the day antoine Carr the big dog remember him from back in the day yeah had no he had no talent yeah but he had some dog in him he’d get down and dirty you know yeah but he couldn’t score for [ __ ] and he couldn’t rebound antoine Carr was trash yeah but I’m saying but but I mean it’s it’s like what you rather have the talented player who has no dog in him or the player who has dog in him but can’t shoot worth a damn you know who has dog in him so no hand so he can’t shoot for crap no he’s he’s got some dog in him when it’s when it benefits him he’ll come out once in a while but he’s not like that all the time the Spurs what I’m saying is that they need an identity space Safe Invader says “You’re giving up on WBY already.” No I’m not giving up on WBY already i’m just saying that at some point in time you got to get tired of the losing man you got to go out there and do what you got to do to make your team win and will them to victory you know go grow a pair and actually go out there and play in the paint you’re the biggest guy out on the court people are going to be able to push you around because you’re thinner you know but you can go ahead and make your way to the basket be aggressive put your head down get to the free throw line help your team get back into the game if he has grown from 73 to 76 he needs to have a turnaround jumper because nobody’s going to block it fadeaway jumper who’s going to stop that fade away no one’s going to stop him if he just goes straight up what is it saying fade away would be unblockable but but but go ahead and straight up there’s only like maybe four people who could block him what’s it saying if he does that fadeaway right you can’t stop the rain when it’s about to fall you can’t stop the rain from falling you can’t stop that fadeaway our chat is powered by MCS General Contracting david Martinez is on there saying that he’ll take two years of Kevin Durant over Dylan Harper which is eight years of Dylan Harper we don’t need another guard we’ve already been down the Dejonte Murray route we can find guards but KD and and would fit seamlessly with Wimby i agree h with half of that by the way kd would fit seamlessly with Wimi and would fit with this lineup very well but Deontay Murray was picked number what 29 in the draft Joe yeah dylan Harper is going to go number two he’s going to go number two for a reason it’s because he’s projected to be an all-star he’s projected to be a very very good player in the NBA he is higher rated as a as a college athlete coming out than was Stefon Castle he’s a better shooter than Castle castle is a better defender uh but I Why not have both but what dude does Spur the Spurs should look at the at this and go look we’ve got Harper Castle Fox Wemby right Joe those four players right there suns you get two first rounders and any three players you want to take over that salary cap space look at that this is the stuff that irritates me man look at this space Safe Invader wimby averaged 2410 four and four a whole bunch of other numbers he’s doing just fine really and then look at we have Justin N he’s the best defensive player in the league already if he just had to go and get some post up moves turn around you know he’d be I guess turn around or or baby hook you know he’d be just fine here’s the problem with that for all the stuff that you all like to do hyping up Wambi generational talent all these phrases you all like to say when it happens to be Wami going one-on-one with some of the best talent in the league that mofo will fold faster than a $5 chair dude he doesn’t have it in him man he’s gone up against Giannis giannis has humbled the brother wby has gone up against some of the better players in the league and you would think he would shell out show out no fades away if you’re going to be generational you can’t get you can’t get punked like that you know you got to come back out and have some dog in you have some competitiveness in you have no quit in you you know and I don’t see that out of him man i see it from time to time but not consistently agreed with all that Joe it’s about consistency because that’s what makes a star a superstar in the NBA you know you can get a big game out there from time to time from anybody dude we saw we’ve seen Sohan go out there and shoot and make 35 points one game it’s can you do it consistently that really matters let’s give some love to our good friend over at Locked On Spurs Jeff Garcia that Locked On Spurs is your daily Spurs podcast

show it let’s go ahead and take away your number there because I keep I’m trying to click on the button there yeah he’s he’s he’s given WBY that love saying all the MVP MVP candidates this year didn’t dominate the year in the in year one and two give me a break wby is doing great basically saying let’s give it some time let him marry let let him cook let’s see if he feels the same if the Spurs don’t make the playoffs oh Wimby’s doing great good for him rest of the team sucks you know we we need stars dude we need stars and Kevin Durant would be big when the going gets tough and the Spurs are in a play in they need to win this game to go ahead and get past the playin and go to the playoffs he’s going to fold dude he’s going to fold and let you down and let’s see if you feel I’m I’m watching all these comments coming in uh where people are talking about uh whether or not you know WHMY is a generational player that he needs to be held to certain standards yes you know you that Joic was not a generational player was a second round draft pick that Giannis was drafted number 15 he was outside of the lottery so they they’ve exceeded expectations but WBY had highest of high expectations and can you say that she’s met them so far that’s debatable Joe that’s very debatable putting up numbers against sorry teams and against lesser talent is one thing but to go ahead and put up those same numbers consistently against some of the better talent in the NBA that is going to go ahead and say “Okay maybe you are generational.” But until that happens he’s just another dude right now that’s a great player he’s a good player you know but is he going to be that generational talent that everybody thinks he is i don’t know too early to tell safe Space again reaches out to us and says “Fox Harper Castle Sohan WBY have faith.” One of those guys won’t be on the team next year that’s going to be Soan so will play one last season for the Spurs he will because that’s the last year of his deal when he becomes a free agent Spurs aren’t going to pick him up the problem is who’s going to play defense spurs can’t go ahead and stop anything man they can’t They don’t have nobody that’s going to go out there on the perimeter and stop a three from falling down they’re one of the worst teams when it comes to that teams just shoot lights out from be beyond the arc against the San Antonio Spurs because they don’t have a 3 and D guy they can’t defend the perimeter well that’s why they always try to crowd up and play the inside lanes they try to crowd up inside the paint because all they’re trying to do is just hope the other team misses on their threes so they can get the long rebound and go the other way they don’t go out there and guard the three they can’t they’re incapable of doing that they don’t have the personnel agreed agreed joe let’s lighten things up a little bit yeah there is apparently a trend going on on TikTok right now where and if you go out on my Facebook page because I posted this about Micah Parsons R.J a chill from Blogging the Boys I’m going to go ahead and go there originally tweeted it the trend is for guys adult men to call another adult guy before going to bed and tell them good night why this is a trend I don’t know but Michael Parsons before going to bed a couple of nights ago made a phone call and he chose to call new head coach Brian Shottenheimer what you doing man you all right you want me to play the video yeah here’s here’s here’s here’s Michael Parson’s what up buddy what up coach what you doing man you all right

what are your thoughts of Michael Parsons who he You could tell Michael Parsons loves him some social media joe he loves Tik Tok he loves Instagram he loves all of it he does the podcasting right we talk about how players we we want players to be vocal but then we diss Michael Parsons when he does right but Michael Parson’s going out there taking part of this Tik Tok trend and reached out to his coach to say good night what did you think of it Joe i just think it’s goofy as hell dude so what you’re saying is if if I if you got a call for me at 11 o’clock tonight Joe and I said “Joe hey man I’m about to go to sleep man i just want to say good night what would you say Joe?” M you goofy ass mother what the hell are you doing Mike get off your phone so pleasure and I used to always talk about the fact that is it appropriate for guys to FaceTime each other it depends on the context man like if you’re with your boys and you’re clowning somebody else or somebody’s doing something funny yeah go ahead and and FaceTime him you know something like that but if you’re just calling your boy oh let me put you on FaceTime why well cuz our good friend Shankin who’s on the chat right now has in the past just FaceTimed me just just because it wasn’t to show me anything or demonstrate anything it was just just to say “Hey what’s up man?” So if I was just to FaceTime you and just randomly throughout the day go “Hey what’s up man?” Just want to say hi no man if you’re trying to FaceTime me and I see like the video coming through I wouldn’t even answer it i’d be like “No freaking goofy ass mother.” You know I ain’t going to answer that [ __ ] you want to call me call me straight up i one time facetimed James Pledger when I was working as Anthony Sports Star and I I facetimed him because I wanted to show him something so it wasn’t like I just want to say hi i was going to there’s something going on behind me or whatever and uh he was asleep when he answered the phone so he answered the phone not realizing that it’s a uh FaceTime and then his he was so groggy and it was probably a Saturday morning he probably gone to the Rupub the night before or something and he was just like “Am I on FaceTime what’s wrong what’s going on?” It was the weirdest thing where am I you know I felt so bad you know what I was i was calling him because I was I think I wanted to show him like I don’t know some I was at some bar it was like 11:00 for college football whatever it was that was funny dude no man facetiming your boys is is goofy dude i’d be like “Nah that’s immediately going to get you blocked bro what the hell you facetiming me for every time you call me this mother over here always wanting to FaceTime me.” No block blocked hey Joe what about during co Joe when we when you would have like uh Zooms with friends did you ever do that oh man you call your your people up man i mean if you’re going to get together in a Zoom meeting it better be for work man cuz I ain’t getting together just to go ahead and Zoom with my friends i can call them man dude that was a big deal during COVID man have a Zoom party did Did you have Zoom happy hour no man i I What was in CO i was just here chilling in the backyard i called my boys up they’d be at their houses or whatever they’d be drinking the only thing that I think we ever did one time was do like a conference call we had like three or four of our boys together everybody was in their respective houses everybody was drinking or barbecuing or something hey man what’s going on you doing all right you know that kind of stuff just shooting the [ __ ] it wasn’t even a very long call everybody just calling in to check in check in on each other and say hi all at once and that was about it you know we didn’t need to go ahead and let me get you on FaceTime or whatever no I know what you look like man i don’t want to see your ugly mug no I’m good man nah Chica and I used to always FaceTime each other when we started dating that’s a different thing man chica and I would always just FaceTime each other and all that you know it’s funny when I met Chica uh I find Chica to be attractive and she would send me photos of her because she she I remember when we first started dating she would go to casinos and she you know she’d go to Lake Charles or whatever and she would send me photos from there and I thought I was being catfished i talked with her for like a month not realizing I I had you know we we didn’t FaceTime the first month or so we were just talking on the phone and exchanging photos and when I met when I saw her in person I met her in person three seconds after I met her in person I was kissing her i was like three seconds you were you were you I was like you were for real i saw her i just I just walked up to her well actually I froze for about four seconds and then when I unfroze I kissed her and it reminds me of that movie um Oh what movie was it um Ryan Reynolds um and Anna Ferris go it’s a Christmas movie he was a real big fat dude and he had a just friends just friends yeah amy Smart and there there’s a scene in the movie where Ryan Reynolds says “If you like the girl kiss the girl.” Yeah he goes “Because because friends don’t kiss.” He also has a line in the movie that says “Never take a girl out to a lunch date never take her to coffee always take her to dinner always take her to some place where it’s at night because if it’s during the day it ain’t a date just kiss her oh my god that was going through my head so so when I saw her I thought she looked great i was like “Oh my god.” And then I spazzed out for 4 seconds and then I just went “I’m going to just go up to her and kiss her.” And I did and we started our date i didn’t wait till the end of the date i kissed her four seconds into it and we’re off and running about this one man like you’re not even gonna eat your food like hang out and chill you gotta go right in and and just kiss her right off the bat why well it’s not like it’s not like I had not known her we we had talked on the phone for over a month and then at that point we started doing FaceTime because she didn’t like FaceTime for some reason yeah uh but um no uh kiss on the first date 4 seconds in 5 seconds in 4 seconds in mhm look at Hugger in the first second kissed her in three g Coino in 10 all the proof he wasn’t being catfished hey you know what i’m going to go ahead and show this to you as we start you know getting the show ready to close here in a couple minutes there’s a fight that’s been announced man that uh we have Canelo and Terence Crawford it’s happening on September 13th it’s going to happen only can only be seen live globally on Netflix i don’t know how I feel about this man we’ve seen the debacle that Netflix has had when they tried to go ahead and stream boxing matches notably the Tyson uh versus Paul match that was a debacle of epic proportions because nobody could watch it cuz it just kept the stream kept dropping it was horrible poor quality people complained netflix has done little to you know sh up their infrastructure when it comes to that the only way that you’re going to fix that is you have to have more servers and they’re very expensive i don’t think Netflix is ready for this man i fully expect them to [ __ ] the bed again when it comes to this event hopefully they’ve done things and maybe it’ll be a little bit better but a lot of people are going to be going and getting their Netflix subscription just for this fight well I mean I kind of think everybody has Netflix but when you’re watching it at home right and you’re watching Netflix and you’re watching you know different movies or whatever it’s a different uh different take on things right because a lot of these are cached or whatever you know in the server and it’s not putting that kind of a strain but when you’re doing something live people are tuning in and watching it pulls a It puts a lot of strain on the network it does and I don’t think Netflix has shred up their network yet well I trust I trust Peacock because NBC does a good job i trust Hulu who’s in bed with ESPN i trust Amazon puremont Plus does a good job of showing NFL games and whatnot i think that Netflix has no other option but to do this correctly because if they mess up twice and and it’s 12 to 18 months apart from each other it would be an embarrassment of biblical proportions for that company i’m paying almost $30 a month for Netflix dude come on get it together man it used to be six used to way back when when it was just streaming alone but now forget it dude with all the stuff that they’re cranking out and every uh let’s say all the licensing rights that they have to buy to show movies and series and all this stuff it’s getting too expensive now i’m not going to if Netflix raises its rates again to like beyond 30 bucks I’m done with it dude yeah you know Chica was telling me the other day uh that she wants to cut our subscriptions right yeah so I started cutting them out and and and a few months ago I got rid of Paramount i got rid of Peacock uh I got rid of you know uh one of my car washes i got rid of like I got rid of like a lot of different things right tallied it all up it’s like 60 70 bucks and she goes “Okay well let’s keep cutting.” I’m like “We cutting what?” She goes “Well like we’ll cut Hulu.” I’m like “The hell you are?” Like cuz I watch Hulu she watched Netflix i said “Well let’s cut Netflix.” I was like “I watch stuff on Netflix.” I said “Well I watch stuff on Hulu.” And we’re going back and forth about this debating it i said “Why are we talking about $10?” It’s $10 either A it’s insignificant or B I’ll just go make more money okay i’m not hurting for $10 Joe but you know what I am hurting from Joe and this is kind of it’s stupid to sound chica and I have taken so many trips in our first year together that we’re tired and we’ve got two more trips Joe two more trips lined up in the next month and I told her at that point we’re not doing anything for six like we’re not we’re not even going to take a day trip for six months look at Yeah he says Joe won’t sit with the peasants but he’s upset over Netflix prices you know what I am because that’s 30 bucks they’re taking away from me and I could use that to go to a different venue go take in a show or something so I don’t have to sit with y’all especially with Elias i don’t want sitting with him joe two more trips Joe gonna be gonna be in the Dominican Republic next week Joe so if LG can sit in on Friday that’d be amazing not this Friday but next Friday oh god look at Rafa did Mike cut off Brazers as well i have no idea what that is oh my god dude stop the cap stop the cap stop the cap stop the cap stop the cap i have so many subscriptions blah yeah only I don’t have a lot of subscriptions the only things that I have subscribed to currently I think it’s Netflix Amazon Prime uh Paramount Plus Peacock and I think that’s about it that’ll do me oh I got a new one recently i got Felo TV because I wanted to see me some live TV and they have the uh what do you call it the DVR and all that so I got that that’s like 30 bucks a month one of them’s got to go man am I going to go watch like live TV or I’m going to roll with Netflix that I rarely use it’s mostly the kids that use Netflix if that’s the case I’m just going to get rid of Netflix all together yeah no you can’t get rid of it the kids are doing it dude just No hey they they make their own money the way the way the way that the the usmeos work is my Netflix is my parents’ Netflix which is my daughter’s Netflix which is my nephew’s Netflix which is you know uh Chica’s kids Netflix like we were all the same plan i’m cold dude the kids are working they’re making their own money if you want Netflix you all buy it i’m done oh and I’m going to tell you about the Predator dude i did see Predator predator was good man it’s called Killer of Killers and I got to say you know compared to the other films in the genre of the Predator franchise this is an animated film right predator Killer of Killers it’s It just came out uh last week on Hulu you can go ahead and watch it there it was really good man i really enjoyed this one when I stack it up against to the the against the other movies that are in the franchise this one is probably even better than Prey you know Prey to me is one of the top the top movie right now in the Predator franchise then of course the OG one but right now it’s Killer of Killers Prey and then the OG Predator movie killer of Killers is really good it’s it’s it’s surrounded around three characters from different times time times times uh periods you know and it tells their stories and them going against the predators you know and how they dispatched one in their in their in their timeline you know and what happens to all these people who let’s say defeat a predator what happens to them it shows you a lot more than what you think the story is real deep intricate i enjoyed it it was a lot of action in there had a lot of meaning man and especially if you stay till the end and you watch everything that’s unfolding there you’re going to be treated to something that you’re going to really really like dude I I enjoyed it i highly recommend that you go and check it out if you’re a fan of the Predator franchise and it’s one of the highest rated Predator movies that’s ever been uh had over on Rotten Tomatoes it has one of the highest ratings for for a good reason well I’m glad you enjoyed it man you know I’ve only seen a couple of the the franchise movies how many did you say there were oh there’s a couple man they have the original Predator Predator 2 uh then you have like uh Aliens versus Pred Predator Alien versus Predator Reququum Predators then you have the new Predator movie that they try to reboot and some of these have not been good like Predator 2 was awful man it it suffered from bad story line bad acting the only thing that was good and the saving grace was the end of the movie that was cool you know some of the fight scenes were cool other than that the movie was just forgettable uh but out of looking at all these Predator movies that I have seen Aliens versus Predator was good too i didn’t mind that one it was all right it wasn’t like groundbreaking but Predators I did enjoy Predators when I watched Predators I like that one um but this one is different man this one they took their time with on Killer versus Killers it’s showing you what you can do with just a good story line you know like if you have a good story line and you have good voice acting and whatnot and this is an animated flick you know it’s it’s great man well done go check it out Mike if you haven’t go even you would like this movie you would see it and you’ll be like it’s a cartoon no watch it with an open mind and I think you’re going to dig it dude interesting uh I saw Mission Impossible 5 over the weekend while I was there in Nevada took took a break from gambling to go to the movie theater one of the casinos there has a theater inside there you saw the the latest uh Mission Impossible yeah Mission Impossible whatever it was called uh it was one of the best hour and a half long naps I’ve ever had in my entire life oh my oh look at we got an incoming super chat from the Drew Show here comes the money here we go he says “My favorite is Predator 2 because Bill Paxton’s seaman sample he says “Urine sample blood sample underwear joke.” He goes “Predator meets Lethal Weapon.” Yeah cuz it had Lethal Weapon lethal Weapon was a good movie back in the day man you know what that’s going to be you know I always watch something in the background while I’m doing people’s investments and insuranceances uh I think Lethal Weapon might be might be the one I’ll watch today thanks for the uh the reference there Drew appreciate it thank you for all the super chats that we got in today yeah so Mike didn’t like Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning you know why he didn’t like this film what’s that because you haven’t probably watched all the films from the beginning all the way until I saw two of them so when you watch the films in their entirety right and then you see the final reckoning there’s a lot of little things that are in that movie the final reckoning they they alluded to they alluded to all the other movies yeah it ties things up really well you know um so I enjoyed it i liked it i mean they had a really good scene in there when he’s in that sub you know and it’s kind of rolling off that hill underwater that was a good scene even him just coming out of the sub just to get to the other one that sunk yeah but what that the whole plane sequence had he didn’t appreciate that i mean I appreciate that a lot that most of it was done in real life right he was doing his own stunts but some of the things that they were doing man come on man like I like Top Gun Maverick better personally personally look at that the new and Mission Impossible was great thank you mexican Junior says “Nice way to finish the series for Tom Cruz it tied into all of them.” It did dude i It was good Mike it was good cuz you’re not a fan of that cuz you don’t watch You haven’t watched all the movies you don’t know what’s what’s happening it was all

Joe is a low key Wemby hater.
Yes he is…he wants wemby to be a fighter but he aint…Wemby has fight but will get better with age..plus Wemby personality is not a fighter…must accept that instead of judging him so much on that…
They still featuring that racist dude on their show?
