Bam Adebayo's 83 Point Performance, Jaylen Brown's Ejection, And Team USA Might Get Eliminated

0:00I Feels great to find a sunshine It's got a holiday like it's all mine Just got paid in his own time It worked hard, I've been on the ground I deserve this feeling Having my way, I've been on this healing This is my, yeah Let's have a late fun now I wanna let it all out Right, thanks for saying all about Because I deserve this feeling Having my way, I deserve this healing This is my day Crime City Media presents The Jessica Benson Show with C.J. Hurt Live from the Grine City Media Studios on YouTube at Grine City Media and the official Grine City Media app What's up everybody It is Wednesday, March 11th It is going to be a good day Jessica Benson with you from the Grine City Media Studios in Memphis, Tennessee

1:00C.J. Hurt behind the glass Coming up on today's show Grizzlies Loose to the Sixers But that was just a blip on what was a Total Uncomplete 4-Loco kind of sports day Bam goes off for 83 Max Crosby It's not a Raven after all USA Baseballs at risk of elimination In the WBC We will get into all that D'Angelo Williams will join us as He does every Wednesday We'll do some WTF stories As well You know what I say If you can make it through a Wednesday You can make it through Your week We will get to the Grizzlies Sixers eventually But C.J. there's nothing abnormal These days about the Grizzlies Losing a game particularly in the fourth quarter And I saw a bunch of abnormal stuff Yesterday that we have to start with The most of those being Bam out of bio went off for 83 points Where were you when Bam out of bio scored 83 points in a basketball game I was on my couch Watching the spurs And the Celtics go at it You weren't watching Heat Wizards wasn't on screen number one Well, like how do I watch Heat Wizards It's a great question How would one consume that

2:02It's a little more difficult A little league pass action Maybe you live in Miami Or Washington DC But instead We got beef with some of these sites But there are other sites And I just don't have those hooked up to my TV at the moment I was scrolling along Going between grizzlies, sixers And tapping into spurs, Celtics And just trying to follow all the happenings The Max Crosby thing was popping off So I was interested in figuring out the latest there And at first I saw the notification That Bam had 31 in the first quarter And I was like, oh Good for him And at that point I didn't know who the heat were playing So I looked it up And I saw it was the Wizards And I said, oh Bam's probably on track for a 50 piece tonight That's exciting Didn't really give it much more thought And then I imagined my surprise when I got the notification That Bam out of bio scored 83 points And now has the second most points in an NBA game In NBA history Second only two The always mythological Wilk Chamberlain's 100 And Bam out of bio passes Kobe Bryant who had 81

3:04Bam's previous career high Was 41 To put in perspective of Just how surprising Wait, his previous high was 41 41 He had 43 at half Yeah Okay, I'm sorry, go ahead 83 is just No, there are two kinds of people in this world Those who will appreciate And kind of bask In a unique thing that we all watched together last night And then there's the haters who say All right, give me the stat line What was Bam out? How do you do it? I think that's what Emeh Udoka said How do you do it? Well, the answer is Yet 83 points in 43 minutes 20-43 shooting 7-22 from 3 36-43 from the free throw line Taking 43 free throws I think we can all objectively agree Is hilarious Especially when he averages 4 free throws a game If you go back and watch the fourth quarter of that game I would hope that we can all it I would hope we can't Because I've already seen people Take the other side of this

4:04That fourth quarter Also objectively hilarious I had so much fun Giggling Watching that fourth quarter As the heat Our force feeding Bam Supposed letting him play He's keeping them in the game At one point he even calls a challenge To give him a little breather Because he was tired It's hard to score 83 points Because you have to take that many shots And the wizards are throwing Triple teams and double teams at him And at one point They're up 25 And the heat are intentionally fouling To try to get the ball back So that you can get Bam more shots The wizards are trying to intentionally foul Anybody not named Bam out of bio To keep him from getting more shots It was tremendous theater And I just had The best time going back And watching the whole thing transpire Especially in that fourth quarter And at the end of the day It's 83 points I don't care how he did it It's awesome Like celebrate cool things That we don't see all the time I didn't know that in May A docker video was real Wasn't not Did I get got I don't Listen I just assumed now Jessica Everything is fake

5:04Uh-huh Everything is AI But when do we When do we become this way As a basketball view in public When do we get mad at people For getting fouled When did that start happening Instead of being known Is on the defensive player to not foul When did when did that like start Happening Jacob said That the wizards What was it again Jacob that they Dressed to dudes who weighed over 205 pounds Which like if that's the case Okay, you're not going to be able to guard that straight up It's literally what's happening to the Grizzlies right now If you manage To try and guard him straight up He's going to get the bucket anyway That's why you're out there fouling The it was fitting It was fitting that 82 and 83 Came at the free throw line After like you said They are in the front court Triple team and bam All right in the back court excuse me Triple team and bam Don't want bam to touch the ball He want to get the ball in Bam's hands As soon as possible I want to say bam just go downhill Cuz there's a bunch of dudes who Who are like CJ size out there right They can't hold you just get on the ball Let's go They are Double team and bam Triple team and bam

6:04On the inbound Bam catches the ball He gets straight down He'll go straight to the rim I guess what happens He gets fouled He gets fouled It's not his fault that the Wizards suck This is the biggest punishment That you can have for a lottery team Just okay Dude check this out They're trying to lose games Go out there and embarrass them That's what you got to do If that's what if that's the line If they're going to try it out there Everybody go out there and try and get 80 on the Wizards Everybody start calling unnecessary timeouts Everybody start intentionally fouling So you can get your superstar The shots that they need to set records on these dudes is If that is what you're going to look like as you tank Fine Go out there and get embarrassed It's like on Monday when I said All of these lottery teams Need to embrace the banana ball way of life And just have infinite bits Well last night the Washington Wizards Bit and their punishment for their tanking actions Was that they had to watch Bam out of bio Score 83 points And when you always go back in history That's the thing too Like when we go back in the history books No one's going to say Bam scored 83 Was it ethical

7:05Although I guess they will Because now we're going back And the reverse argument of anyone asking If Bam's 83 is ethical What can you score 80 points in a basketball game Basketball game Basketball game Ethically was Kobe's 81 ethical Probably not Was willed to 100 ethical We don't even know We never had video We don't have video will We don't have video Remember Kobe's 81 They needed all 81 of those Yes They needed 81 from Kobe They were going to lose that game Kobe had to stay in Because if Kobe came out They were going to lose that game to the rafters Poor poor Jalen Rose But anyways I guess this ethical Basketball nonsense Exhaust is just Nerds and dweeb Finding things to talk about In the dumbest of ways My man went out there And was the biggest dude on the court The most athletic man on the court And and showed it I found you a joke A quote Okay, so he was cracking a joke Oh, okay Because he said first thing you think is how Not because of him But because of the way he plays I saw he only made six threes But 40 free throws or something like that Tells the story right there Dot dot dot

8:06And the Washington Wizards So it's fine You can joke about it Cracked the jokes Cracked the jokes I have no issue with the cracking of the jokes Don't be serious about this I saw some great jokes And told CJ and Jacob before the show One of my favorites was the person who said That if it had been Jason Tatum Jason Tatum would have pulled himself out at 81 So he could have been tied with Kobe Jason Tatum Named at the At the free throw line At the free throw line Would have rolled the ball to the left Okay, that's good But I mean from now on it is cool that we will say Wilt and Bam and Kobe And it means something to Bam Obviously, but it means something to the rest of the the league Because Kobe meant something Kobe is this Basketball godlike figure to a lot of dudes in this league I've no more in power Grab the mic from the sideline reporter It's been a banner week for NBA sideline reporters By the way Rob first and now this one right here Oh Megan Tripoli got a got a shout out

9:07On the peacock as well Like banner day for sideline Ben a week excuse me for sideline reporters But forgive me, I don't know the heat sideline reporter's name But she standing there and Norman Powell I say hey, I got a question Give me that What does it mean Bam for you to have your name mentioned alongside Like you know Wilt And Kobe Is like the passion with which Kobe came out Was like oh man And then everybody in the arena Rups the players are up Bam gets a little choked up I get it matters And this is this is what you you want The regular season has got to matter It's not the end all be all But we've seen this week And we'll talk about some of these other games From last night a little bit later But we've seen this week Players with the utmost care about What is happening in a random game in March You know this is this is important This is great This is fun If the league can bottle this up That the care Not necessarily the historic nature of everything that's going on But the care that the players are playing with Oh they'll be in good spots going for Next male little jealous at least at least you don't score 83 on the on the grid

10:08On like fun meaningful basketball being played CJ I reached the end of my rope Watching the Grizzlies last night Where it's the fourth quarter They're up Nine they've been up 12 And you can just feel the same script Beginning to play out And Ty Jerome gets ejected I appreciated the passion from Ty Jerome There's one of my two positives from last night Senator coward had 16 rebounds That was fun the Grizzlies didn't lose a rebounding battle But I just found myself desperate For meaningful basketball You have meaningful basketball Okay that's not going to happen for a while Yeah I understand that I felt like the little girl in holes Who's like I'm tired of watching this Grizzlies team lose grandpa And then you grandpa go that's too damn bad And that's what we do Have for a day now That's the life we live Why? What is your grandpa saying? Ace too damn bad That's how it felt But anyway on the exact like opposite of that I think that's one of the reasons why I just found so much joy in watching Bams performance last night And all that came with it too

11:08Right because mom was there They're hugging after the game Asia Wilson is there Kicking her feet For her man And then we saw Asia Wilson Take the podium with Bams After the game Which I thought was such a special moment For the two of them to share I am I'm obsessed with them as a couple I love their humor But I also love their sincerity And all of that was on display last night They had a moment where He talked about how special it was For her to be there for this And how the behind the scenes and the workouts And the conversations with her So motivating And he sees what she does And gets inspired by that And then she countered that by saying You know she sees the countless hours And the early morning workouts And the questioning of the self And she said that she knows that he Says that she's his inspiration But she doesn't think he has a clue How much he inspires her And I'm just sitting I'm like This is the sweetest thing that I ever did see And it's just you can like feel the love Between the two of them It really is a love and basketball moment But there's also such greatness Between the two of them Because now you have Bam out of bio Who is the active NBA player With the most points in a game with 83

12:09And you have Asia Wilson Who has the most points in a game By an active WNBA player With what was her's 53 She had a 53 point game And God bless the person Who has to defend Asia Wilson Or the team collectively Who has to defend Asia Wilson On the night that she decides To try to go after the household scoring record Because Who's she going to get that on Well, find the Washington Wizards of the WNBA If they have a season next year Is it them? Is it the other team in Washington? Maybe it's one of the expansion teams No, I don't feel confident about that I have to walk to tempo What the Valkyrie did this bad season Good point Oh man, okay, because she's going to try for it She posted on threads I know she posted on Twitter too But she posted on threads The picture of Ebony from America's next top model Oh, okay And she said Welp, won't have the highest career high in the house anymore But at least it gives me something to go after And then the picture of Ebony And I was like, WNBA, you have been warned

13:10Just incredible In incredible Sometimes I get a little weird at what used to put the whole I can't wait to see like Bam out of bio And Asia Wilson's child on the basketball court And sometimes that discourse gets a little like weird However He or she will be a star Why does it get weird I don't know, like putting future children on a couple We do this with couples sometimes And that's someone who's a part of a couple A bunch of loving couples No one wants my children Respect I mean my mother-in-law really does Respectfully You and Chris are going to have wonderful little babies But your babies aren't going to be tasked with caring USA athletics and some sort of a capacity I hope my baby knows how to use AI In a way that makes us some money When we're all racking off I'm really I know you think it's weird But I really hope they have A child who plays soccer So that we get soccer right in this country That's maybe baseball at this point Well, we got we can talk about that There we'll go On the list of weirdest things to happen Yesterday, I have that at number three Out here losing to It leaves me the way

14:11The way it goes The threat that I saw that made me chuckle My favorite Comment came from Asia And was go ahead and get ready for that drug Test my boy It's like yep, go ahead That's the thing they give each other shit In a way that is sorry They give each other Crapped away It's too early usually I save I saved my s's for post nine am Okay, you do the children are out You know I never know I never know But I love their back and forth With each other And I just think Asia Wilson's just such a funny person period And so of course she's gonna Ribbon a little bit at the same time Alexander in the chat brings up a good point They need to hurry up and have one So we can have somebody over here ready for Wendy Oh, yeah, we said that We need During the Olympics We're like this is our only hope This is our only hope to counter What is what is coming on the other side Wendy's got 20 30 years in them Right I'm on LeBron been playing 22 If Wimby has something like that in him Then yeah, by the time if they had one Like soon in the next nine months This is his 23rd

15:1123 I know So Wimby has 23 years in him They need to have one like now Or like at in the next year So we can get that one in the league To try and stop whatever Wimby Yama is gonna be It was fun It was a good time I really When did we become a people who just hate some Everything Listen don't don't get mad at BAM Cause they couldn't hold them Yeah It is kind of funny though Cause it's been record it was record setting night A couple of places In the G-League Mac McClung Set the G-League Scorn record 54 point Was it the G-League Scoring record or was it I was gonna give you Was it the record I think it was the Wimby City Bulls record Was it not the G-League or the G-League record I think it was the franchise record I thought it was the whole G-League I thought it was the entire thing Somebody go for 80 in the G-League Let's see What's the grade in Mac McClung now Yeah 54 I think giving me the all-time score

16:11I don't want the all-time G-League single game score Look at this Look at Matt go to work here Wow there it is But he did it He got 50 On two on two You're right That's on me He did it That's the G-League record The G-League record He uh he topped Janai Broom Remember Janai Broom Janai Broom Yep he had 50 this season Okay So he did that On two fewer field goals in BAM He had 18 made field goals BAM Matt 20 Of course he did Look at McClung go to work Somebody said he's just a dunker I said he'd sigh Him you coward So he's got the complete package Bow from the corner Mac McClung Three minutes of Mac McClung Highlights Did you think you were getting that this morning No And also in terms of like things I thought would be the biggest thing coming out of the NBA last night It absolutely would have been the self-expers game But there was one There was one game Where you're like This is going to have something that we talk about Come come Wednesday morning

17:13And instead it's BAM out of Going off for 83 and Mac McClung And Mac McClung Respect my My bad Yes Respect to CJ for Keeping track of G-League scoring record And do Mac McClung And then also like Jalen Brown got tossed We'll take a quick break We'll come back We'll wrap up the NBA conversation from last night Jalen Brown got tossed from the self-expers game And he wasn't happy about it No one was happy about it I wasn't happy about it We'll also get into the Max Crosby trade That is No more The Raven said Actually Raiders You keep Max Crosby There might be a reason There might be a reason for it Failed physical as the reported reason they gave And we'll also talk a little bit about USA Baseball Danzola Williams still to come as well That's after a quick break Thanks for showing up Memphis Nothing beats catching your Grizzlies IRL And nobody knows that better than you So next time you want to hit up a game Ticketmasters got your back With tickets to every upcoming matchup

21:46Welcome back, welcome back All right, the Grizzlies did lose to the sixers last night 139-129 What was built as the best game in the NBA last night? Celtic Spurs and Spurs 1-125-116 Jalen Brown got ejected in the second quarter of this game Which was pretty lame Jalen Brown was upset because he thought that he was pushed out of bounds Didn't get the call, he got really mad at Tyler Ford Proceeded to say some things That ultimately would give him not one, but two texts And as this transpires, he ultimately gets a sneeze, sorry He ultimately gets ejected, did you get it out? No, look down the sneeze then, shout out, I got the mic off He gets ejected and watching it live as it was happening It was like, what is going on here? If it was me, I understand you got to step in there But if it was me, I'm not stopping him I'm letting him get as close as he wants Ernest, whatever find is coming, you earned it You earned the right to earn this moment

22:47And for the other ref to step in, you know, Rest got to protect one another, they look out for one another Before the other ref who Jalen is not talking to to step in and be the second Second to talk to us Okay, at that point we are not, we will move him We don't want to turn physical So I might be willing if I'm a Zula to move him back behind half court But say whatever you want to say at this point Go earn it because it's ridiculous Was that Vasella Castle who got him on the on the play Because they both look like from distance Okay, Vasella's strongest Hell strongest S words if we you don't want to say S words before nine But you'll you'll drop a schlong at 915 Yeah, it's 915 915 is like our version of After Dark Okay, yes it is It's as close as we get All right, but um I woke up thinking about that word He's not in that way God bless I just meant that it was a funny conversation yesterday Please continue I make it real hard to continue Jessica

23:48Anyways, so the he does get pushed Vasella's just such a strong defender Jayden Brown is not the type of player To do all the theatrics to let you know Hey, I've been been fouled He's talked about that before He's trying to play through the contact If you want people to stop with the flopping When they get fouled you got to call it And then when players get upset about it Not being called consistently enough You kind of got to eat it as a ref You can't be out here tossing dudes From games like that again, I will say You don't want him to end up with a multi-game suspension If you're in the Celtics, I understand that The media would jump down to Twitter But he would earn, I'd let him earn that I'm going to eat the passion He can't, he looked like he was going to cry Stepping off of that baseline Going to the locker room I love that and if I was the head coach of the Boston Celtics I would have went straight to the podium On some all right buckle up buttercup Here we go I'm finna take you guys on a real nasty ride About officiate Instead we got a riddle Oh no we didn't

24:48Decide for this one From Joe Mizzoula following last night's game I just give a ton of credit to my high school principal He had the balls to throw a student out He didn't leave it to the hall monitor Hell of a principal Riddle me that What We want me to say it again Yes Because I'm confused I've read it 100 times I've watched it I've read it I still understand it What's didn't work Is this coming from It's coming from in response to Jaylen Brown Get a Tossed I just give a ton of credit to my high school principal He had the balls to throw a student out He didn't leave it to the hall monitor Hell of a principal This is our great A philosophy I guess he's saying that the ref Jaylen Brown was talking to Should have thrown Jaylen Brown out Instead the hall monitor came to Build the principal Make himself a part of something that he didn't need To be a part of Maybe Jaylen Brown is the principal Real head scratch is Jaylen Brown the principal And that he's throwing himself out To move Is Adam silver the principal

25:50What are we Missoula makes my head hurt man Okay Jason Tatum had a much more Easy to decipher Okay reaction to it all which I actually really agreed with He said national TV game two of the best teams in the league And you make a big deal about stars playing And you get trigger happy to throw somebody out of the game I disagree with it Me too If you're going to make this whole thing About punishing players Punishing teams If guys are sitting for these these big games The games that are billed as the Most watchable games in the league It is the say it is the same level of detriment It's detrimental equally detrimental to the product To throw one of the best players out in the second quarter for that I understand you don't You said what you needed to say You got the first tech You don't still keep walking towards the referee Like medicinely screaming at said ref now It's on that ref to toss you at that point It's not on Somebody else I don't think the my issue isn't with the

26:51Ejection my issue is I didn't feel like Jaylen Brown Earned it got you he you eject him for that fine let him Earned all of the technicals he's gotten you let him earn it by standing somewhere safely A safe distance back so he doesn't run run up on the ref because Things are are hot right now, but you let him get it all out of his system I want the NBA to come talk to us as a franchise So that I can then tell the NBA Yo y'all got to do something about the officiating for my my players Be it general manager culture or individual player himself Everybody's not going to and I don't know I don't know I don't but everybody's not sending damn videos to the damn office like the thunder right everybody's not trying to do that Some people are trying to handle things In a different sort of a way So if you want folks to to handle things the the flopping route and the complaining route by sending videos in

27:51Constantly andcessantly then sure keep doing it like this What are we the SEC tip hotline if I'm trying to handle things like a a gentleman I you you've got to be able to respect that and and listen when things are getting out of out of hand He absolutely got pushed he absolutely Earned the first one. I didn't feel like he earned the second one enough. I would let him do it There's lost in all of this What the hell are we supposed to do a victor with me? I was gonna make eight threes. Yeah What's he gonna do? What are we doing if he's gonna make eight threes if he's gonna hit step back three If he's gonna hit spot up threes if he's gonna hit dribble pull up three what the hell am I gonna do about that In a non-forceful way okay, we're gonna gently encourage okay Bamin asia to continue for their relationship art arts arts and help the history of us or the future about our superb Megan Rapinole still an Yes, yeah, okay. Can they not have a baby to be a boy have we have we've not gotten the signs down to make that work Can we not make two eggs get together

28:52Cuz we need he we need somebody anybody anybody please all right outside of I know not even the second third or fourth most ridiculous thing to happen yesterday in sports the band 83 craziest second craziest is the whole max crossbee situation I was at book club with my girls the win that notification rolled through and I was just like stunned to the point of I needed to talk about it with the people I was with and I said This isn't gonna mean anything to you guys However, the Ravens are backing out of their trade for max crossbee and they said Sydney crossbee And I said wrong sport wrong crossbee max crossbee But this is nuts and I truly probably one of the the stranger failed physicals and I'm putting failed physicals and quotes as we continue on with this story That is reportedly why the Ravens backed out of the trade with the Raiders the Raiders said yesterday They had no further comment which is unfortunate because a lot of people would like

29:54Some comments about what the hell happened in this situation the Raiders in sentiment to Baltimore in exchange for two first round picks He is returning from knee surgery If everybody can remember He claimed he wanted to keep playing when the Raiders sidelined him this season after they put him on the IR He posted that funny video not funny. It was very serious on his part But the video we all laughed out of him playing basketball basically showing look my knee is just fine Maybe if he got out and dunked the Ravens would be more apt to take him right now We do have further reporting this morning I saw somebody like crack a joke or I thought it was a joke apparently it wasn't Last night saying just wait The Ravens are going to sign Trey Hendrickson And now according to Adam Schefter The Ravens and Trey Hendrickson have reached an agreement on a four year 120 million dollar contract Brian Winhorse style Gee, I wonder if these two things are connected Is not not Trey Hendrickson was healthy last year Trey Hendrickson two previous years before last year

30:54Both 17 and a half sacks Wasn't he limited in games he was able to play last I feel like he played six or seven maybe last last year I guess the They were talking to both of them just recklessly speculating they were talking to both of them and thought that they could get Crosby and didn't think they can get Hendrickson and ended up being able to to get Hendrickson without giving up A couple of picks a couple of first round picks at that so they decided to to back out of it and I don't know What to this is despicable because now it throws what the Raiders and what everybody else in the lead has done and two flux Because of the cap implications So now the dudes who the Raiders have agreed to In principle to deals with they they can't sign them because of cap issues the the cowboys were in the the max Crosby sweepstakes, but they probably can't get them they ended up making a trade for Roshan Gary if I remember Correctly from the from the packers so I don't know if they can so now everything is influx those those players

31:55Some reporting yesterday because then things got really diluted of everybody trying when something this big happens Everybody's trying to obviously figure out the details Somebody reported that one of the doctors one of the independent doctors was a doctor with the cowboys And so perhaps the cowboys actually backs back to out of the max Crosby sweepstakes beforehand But now with this tray Hendrickson piece it just It feels awfully convenient that the Ravens dubbed max Crosby What was it from the reporting that he was okay in the short term But perhaps there would be some issues in the long term coming off of the surgery or based on what his body presented I don't I don't know what the what the what we call these things anymore Because we don't say indian giver anymore Obviously no, and we I feel the booty holes clenching up every time I say re-nickers and then we don't we don't say that So what do we say when you you you obviously Get something and then like take it back you give something to take it back. What do we call that now? Because it used to be used to have words for those things

32:58We need a new one. Okay. I'm not I'll work on it I'm not racially charged one. Okay. Yeah, so non bigoted version of No give backses. Yeah, no give backses. What do we know no take backses? Yeah, no take back. Yeah, no take backses They put someone in a no take backs, you know see but that doesn't work because they're they're Giving it back. Well, they they're taking back the first round. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. That's a take backs. Okay That's a reminion part of it take back seas urs Yeah, that's that's too much. It doesn't it doesn't hold off the tongue. It doesn't quite work itself out All right the other thing that was absolutely wild Team USA might actually go and mess around and get eliminated from the world baseball classic I was told that this was a team USA domination Opportunity at the world baseball classic. They lost to Italy last night eight to six Bryce Harper and Aaron judge both had chances to tie the game in the final two innings

33:58They went out into it the plate US loses to Italy fun fact Italy has an espresso machine and their dugout which I absolutely love for them With the loss the US is now a part of a tiebreaker scenario that could have them eliminated after pool play so US is three in one Italy's three and oh Mexico is two and one Italy and Mexico played today and if Italy wins that game Everything's fine US advances if Mexico beats Italy All three teams are three and one so then we go to the math and then it's if Mexico wins and scores five or more runs Mexico in the US advance But if Mexico wins and scores four or fewer runs then Mexico in Italy advance and it's over For the US of A and what makes this whole thing even more insane is that the team USA manager Was on a show before the game yesterday and said quote We want to win this game even though our tickets punched into the quarterfinals

34:59The ticket was not punched into the quarterfinals He claims that he misspoke Many are questioning if he knew the elimination rules he did sit three starters some people looked at different lineup decisions as a Referendum of him understanding the urgency of making sure that the US did not lose to Italy yesterday It would be really nice if you could go back and watch the original clip with your own eyes Which thanks to people who clip it you can and they'll be networked deleted it They deleted it Which do innocent people delete video clips CJ? No, I don't think so I don't think so so the league appeared to take down the video from mlb.com There was a Like a yield error error message early this morning And then a version of the interview Remained on the mlb networks Facebook page, but it was condensed and did not include the remarks that people started You know passing around the internet yesterday as this was transpiring

36:02I lost the championship that way heartbroken really yeah, we didn't realize well listen We were going out there to win because it's the most important game is the next game We didn't realize that if there was a three-way tie We would be the team left it out And so I I understand team USA Thought or the manager might have thought okay with the win over Mexico We we were winning any tie break over Mexico. So we get in. Well, no not if it's a a three-way tie You you wouldn't and so that's that's tough, but either way it goes You can't lose to Italy in baseball But it's Italy with a bunch of Americans on the team. Okay. Why didn't you pick those Americans and pit them on your team? Because they're not as good as the Americans you put on your team. You can't be losing to the B team B-American team also aren't there a bunch of Americans on great Britain's team also So now that's that's probably a C-American team, right? You can't be losing games to the C-American team adds the A-American team because you had the opportunity to grab those players and didn't

37:08If my limited knowledge about how this works is Right my very limited knowledge of the inner workings of the world-based bot classic all that I really care Is that they might get eliminated? This isn't how this was supposed to go. They're the favorites. Yes They came in odds on We talked about it in a different way than like the USA Canada gold medal match Especially between the men's teams in the Olympics like historically. It's been all Canada So the US even though they were poised with the NHL players and it was a real best-on-best situation But it wasn't as if they were destined to win that game. It was very much a toss up This was supposed to be a cakewalk. I was told this was supposed to be a cakewalk. You're supposed to get to I guess Japan. I was in Japan. You're supposed to get to Japan You maybe maybe Puerto Rico or something like that But the Italy they're drinking a espresso. It was Mario Day. So Maybe they had some star power To a tie and recognize Mario Day

38:10But wouldn't they? I don't know. I think sometimes they don't like the Mysterio types What's the stereotype of Mario? He just out here busing his ass saving people That's in the coins fine if if Italians don't want Mario we'll take him. I know my people will take Mario No, I want Luigi too. I want all of them Luigi's the good one Luigi's tall Luigi jumps higher. He's a little bit slower, but he's got more More stats behind him. Yeah, man. He's got the measurables.

That means it's time to catch up with d'Angelo Williams

42:38He joins us every Wednesday. He joins us now. How are you d'Angelo? I am doing absolutely phenomenal. I am sitting on the porch Yes, I'm doing phenomenal A porch set on a Wednesday morning. That sounds lovely Yeah, if you like a drink a choice on the porch d'Angelo Uh, no, I don't I have a I have a sense of silence. I can hear the birds. It's just what I Yeah, I hear a little chirps what I find very Moved shifting is when you hear other people voice weapons or why for your kids or just anybody with that break that silence Because you're just like I you start hitting the birds and you kind of zone out and start Thinking about like maybe back to your childhood or like something stupid and Then somebody start talking to you like wait, what Like I'm not paying you any attention right now. I'm really going to have to start that all the way over

43:41I was adding the state sale d'Angelo and I sent y'all pictures from the estate sale Um sitting Jessica and Jacob pictures from the estate sale and they had like a fancy ass picture I'm like, ooh, I should get a picture for when I sit on the porch And then just fill my drink up in the picture and then just I don't have to get up and go inside Feel that thing with ice. Yeah, keep it cold ice and water ice and other things sure Just sit out there and sip away on the porch. Been all day out there. Yeah, Portia. Portia Pippin is some good stuff I love it. It is and and I'm gonna tell you why I think you like the porch because this is why I like the porch people watching It is un believable what like people do when they don't think anybody's watching versus when they see like you're watching like they tighten up real quick Oh, I know that's why I I think one of the the scariest things for us as a society Is the culture of like people filming strangers doing weird stuff

44:42Because we're not gonna have people watching anymore like this next generation is so scared of being observed because they see constantly like people on social media dunking on People living there like I always think of it people who film people dancing and then make fun of them That's like one of my least favorite things in this world because it's gonna inspire a generation that's too scared to do anything Oh, yeah, there's studies on this right now. Yes, have you not seen all these streamers and all this what they record? They live 24-7. Yeah, but streamers know that they're being recorded so even in the even like under the guise of this is my real life It's like a souped-up reality show. I'm showing you everything. I do my point is like psychologically These kids know that they're being filmed so there's never an actual like organic. This is how I really would be They're doing it to put on a show. They're doing it to be entertaining There's a lot like real psychology studies right now that like between that and AI thinking for people in a certain way like we're losing the ability or future generations could completely lose the ability of like

45:46Developing their own sense of self and like doing things that you would love to watch as a and I'm a massive people watch Or two so this really is something like the extinction of being able to people watch is something that keeps me up at night I'm serious oh Yeah, it's deep I see that I didn't realize that that was your realm and we were Yeah You think the darkness is your ally Yeah, they put out yesterday. There was not to like really go off the rails with this but there was a Well, I'm just This segment is never on the rails It's correct, but it's usually dange. Lo is doing and we're along for the ride But like sit with me here. So the New York Times put out a Activity yesterday where they had like 10 different passages and each passage had two different paragraphs and one was written by AI and one was written by people and so every like Round would come up with these two paragraphs and you would pick which one you liked the writing style of more

46:47And collectively like over 50% of people Overwhelmingly chose the AI like throughout all the options and I said couldn't be me I love writing. I love reading the good word and I started it and the first four Said that I selected AI and I quit the activity. I said I don't want to do this anymore I don't want to do this But then some people have pointed out that like it's way easier for AI to at this point at least Like a passage is one thing a full book is another thing a full movie is another thing But anyway, it just has me really in my feelings right now It's all a step to like the eventual AI Application of everything that we we know love and enjoy and do we talked about it with the with the AI music I'm so afraid to just select a random artist now and just hey introduce me to them Spotify I've only been listening to people. I know because it's like I don't I don't want AI music in my ears I feel like that's going to lead lead to some real bad things Daniel you weren't a part of this conversation But like I was listening to some songs like oh, I really like this artist. This is great

47:51And then after doing some digging we realized this is in a real person at all. This is all AI It was it hurt my soul. I almost gave up listening to music time. I know You're ready to bow down to the AI over No, no, no, no, I don't think you it's not about AI. It's like okay. If we're paying artists Millions of dollars AI got to be a couple what hundred like we talking like what we talking here I'm just talking about merely price if I can find something that's going Soften the blow of Of the beer. Oh, yeah, I'm on that What artist is getting millions of dollars. It might be a handful of them one Two, let's not pay people for making art I'm listening. I'm listening on Spotify for free, right? Like I'm not paying anything to listen to these these artists now If I like them, I might go out and buy a record or No, I'm not even buying we don't my card doesn't have a CD play here

48:51So I'm not sure how I'm supposed to support You go to one of their I go to the concert by some by some merch So it's not cheaper for me to to listen to AI over actual people It's just isn't and then what that's what I'm saying like what's the problem is it the fact that it's not a real person And you can't go to a concert or you can't support the problem like a dislike them based on the problem is The problem is AI is an interpretation of the human experience And if we continue to consume AI the way that we're consuming it the human experience is going to be gone And all that's left is the interpretation which is going to call serious problems for what we know believe and do From a sociological standpoint that is my problem will become what's the filis officer who was like oh We're not real. We're just paintings on the cave. We'll become that thing where instead of actually experiencing Life and actually hearing birch chirping and actually knowing what the smell of fresh cut grasses

49:55And those are just fun little 40 things played up Um, instead of that will end up with interpretations of that which will not be The human experience and that'll lend itself to people doing some and becoming really really weird And it just no soul to it. There's no humanity to it. So we will lose our soul the angel. Oh The angel what are you going to think when there's see just dad brought it up and AI tail back in the AI NFL I Are we consuming it as people? Yeah, we have no choice If we consume it as people then I If we can now place bets you can now play bet you're I'm the second the second the NFL hits me with a AI Running back. I'm like, okay. I'm out. I can't I've been with you through the the whole Everything I've been with you through all of the the things in a fell the second we get AI players AI coaching AI I play I know what angel would be ready for

50:55Just make those damn kickers AI AI kickers on bottom with AI kickers will be cool now. Oh now you're oh yeah Cuz then we can take the humanity away from them and actually be okay with saying mean things You imagine the things that we'd say to a damn clanker after missing a kick. I did not say the C word Get them wirebacks to hell up out of here Every time I use some sort of chatbot. I think them I say have a great day We're not gonna do is we're not gonna hurt anybody's Wireless fillings, okay? Now y'all aren't come see me I'm ready. I'll be ready. I'll be standing at the door. You never see shorts turkey. You never see Wally they got feelings, bro Yeah, but I've also seen Wally and do you remember what happened to the humans in Wally? And my point is I don't want to be fat laying on one of those lawn chairs with my little goggles on my face Living my fake life is rotating Listen I want to be like me. I want to be creating. I want to be watching hello dolly on a little old TV like Wally

52:00I'll be standing on my porch with a giant bucket of water the second of wire back comes my way Stop saying those words Whatever okay, so I have stood up my grandchildren will not be able to find video footage of me I stood up when others my my grandchild bet not bling bring a clanker to my damned inner table Get him out of here Get them the hell about you. I'm working with Claude these days. What who Claude who's Claude Claude is the anthropic chatbot I'm trying to learn I'm not gonna get left behind I'm taking Claude classes real talk. I actually am because I there is like an element of this I hate what it's doing to the arts and all around it But there is this level of like figuring out how to use it for the workspace in a way before the workspace leaves you behind So it's a tough thing. Did you leave your porch? Did this conversation make you leave your porch? He was nervous He thought somebody was out there going to hear The tone of which you say those words is worse than the words

53:04Yeah, I say it because I hate them. Yes, I say it with hate. Yes, the robots Cast up in 20 years. You're cooked Thanks, shake down. What do you say? So here's my problem with the whole AI thing What I don't what I teeter on is I don't want to Slow down the progression of mankind and humankind because where we first started to where we are today If it events somebody like now we don't need cars these forces will be just five We we look at them like your idiots your student. Sure, but there's a little regulation of those things Yes, but but here's the thing though not at first that we only regulate what we think We need to regulate just like social media when it first came out. There was no regulations You don't have to do whatever they get do whatever they have you wanted to do and then slowly things started to Come in and those regulations started to put themselves in place

54:05This ain't that the difference is in in cars cotton gin other moments factories where humanity took a massive leap forward The difference is that the leap forward was was physical right where was hey, let's take some of the physical burden Away from our ourselves AI has taken the mental burden away from people it is making people stupider And it is doing so deliberately people are lazy they go to AI for Quick things they get dumber because they don't know how to learn They don't know how to think they no longer have to express themselves appropriately and now we got a world where we're in idiocracy all the crops have have withered away And we're trying to water them with with some sort of gatorade carbonate Infusion and now we don't have anything to eat now. We're in the mass of depression as Terry Cruz is big ass with a blonde wig Is popping his chesticles because he's now president like that's what I'm trying to avoid

55:06Terry Cruz is president You haven't seen idiocracy wow, I know everyone has always said you have it is Yes, it is where it is what we're doing right now That's right. I think I told you Chris and I revisited broadcast news Which is a movie from like the 70s which idiocracy take some References from and it's crazy because the things that we're being said in the 70s are just as applicable as they are today But it's just like advanced further and it feels like a warning that was given in the 70s that was ignored And now we're sitting here in the similar space. You know, you know, I watch it today. You know crocs. Yeah, everybody knows crocs We wear crocs. Do you see the airport that banned crocs? Why because they're lame. They banned pajama pants and crocs continue Um, I'm one more on that second, but crocs came about because the director of idiocracy wanted the dumbest shoe possible He could find nobody was wearing crocs. He picked crocs on everybody in idiocracy and boom crocs itself The Tampa International Airport joked about banning crocs as a social media stunt

56:10Okay, but it's not a real policy. I thought this was a mayor. Do you wear crocs, Angela? Yeah, what's your airport outfit? DeAngelo. Oh, yeah, I do not wear crocs. Do you dress up for a flight or dress down? I kind of do both. I get my most comfortable Outdoor and outfit. I'll put that on and use to go through the airport. So it's it's probably like a It's something comfortable. Is it jeans or tech suit? Oh, I don't wear jeans at all. So my god, it's I'm at that age now. I remember when I was younger though It was a pair of jeez shorts jeez all it now. I'm like man It's this is I don't like the feel of them or something. I don't know. I just It's me just I'm at that age now, I guess But yeah, I don't wear crocs. I don't Chris a pair of dressy sweats For Christmas because I think we both need to elevate to like one level above

57:12We got they're like a really nice sweat that almost looks like a slack But it's a sweatpants, but it's not cotton sweat. It's like a slack like slack adjacent material It's kind of like a it's not silk, but it's like Jackins for dudes, but not jaggings. Okay, like it's loose. It looks like a it looks like a business pant, but it's a sweatpants And he still hasn't worn them. It's like I like my sweats That okay, whatever fine. That's how it is Can I can I tell you the story that I was told that has been on my mind and I'm not gonna say who told me it I It's been on my mind and I have a really I feel like this is a really good poem question Okay, so I'm just kind of hanging out just sitting there and Somebody walked up to me and they go um, I went to the doctor today Okay, how did they go and they go well it went pretty cool. They said um

58:18You know, they got to change my medicine and one of the side effects is is that You have to brush your teeth a lot and he was like well, I hadn't brushed my teeth in like 10 years and I I Joked back and I go what he goes. I don't have any teeth and I go I go Well, how do you brush your teeth with no teeth and he kind of left me there So every since he's told me that I've been like how do you brush your teeth With no teeth so got dentures that take out of the mouth Yeah, but like does it like I mean you need some history call it today. I used to have a flipper I would brush like I had teeth that came out of my mouth and then you would like brush the flipper Because you want to make sure that no bacteria grows on the thing that goes back in your mouth. Yeah, yeah But like what does that do for your mouth though? Like how do you clean your mouth? Oh, probably it's a mouthwash But are we cleaning our mouths? Yeah, my dentist says mouthwash is really important I thought mouthwash was bad. No, it's not some mouthwash like listerine

59:22Are we if we are a string bad, but there's like periodontist like mouthwash That is really good and really helpful. You know if I if I feel that the need to to rinse my mouth out I usually just grab and alcohol swirling around in there and spit it out right I strength some water Is that good enough to clean it? Oh, okay, but I'm bad with the I brush my teeth twice a day Obviously, so we don't know so we don't we don't know if you don't have teeth. How do you? I'm telling you you use that wash Okay, so you use like a special wash Pristicky take it out stick the teeth in and keep it keep a bushing take them out when you ready to go That's crazy Yeah All right, thanks for giving us something to think about on this Wednesday Yeah, like do you just never buy toothpaste again? Yeah, you have to go you have to brush the dentures I think you're fine. Just letting them so Oh, okay, yeah, you brush them in stock. Yeah

1:00:24Uh Yeah, think think about it like a like a A pot that has oatmeal in it and it's been sitting there for a little bit You you put a little dishwasher liquid in there. Pits some water in there. You let it soak And then when you're ready you dump it out and then you use use wash it a little bit There you go. That's how you do it. Okay, so The the reason why I asked all these questions because Like you would didn't have to say that bad breath comes from your teeth If all I need is mouth from your mouth as a and you're good. You're good. Yeah. Okay. Yeah So so you're telling me that after you lose your teeth just a little less terrain or cure all that I didn't say it was true and I said like a specific medical grade Yeah, I don't I don't know if you're breath is still gonna be fucking with that with that in there Man, if it is like chew you some gum pop you a peppermint keep it pushing get it to catch you the gum you can't Oh, my granny used to chew gum with dentures in that what dentine is for

1:01:26In dentine like denture gum and that why I came into existence. Oh, I'm making that up You're asking me questions. I've got my granny my granny hat shouts in my granny. She had fake teeth and she would chew on dentine Oh Now listen she you know, she might have been doing things. She shouldn't have been doing my granny wasn't on for that But like still I think you get you awesome going. What do you brush your teeth with toothbrush? So I brush I brush my teeth like four or five times a day. So it's um Chris Your crust crust person. What do you brush your teeth? Well, I'm with my wife by Yeah, that's my husband buys our two things. I don't know I just use toothpaste though. Yeah, I use I use toothpaste. I grab you know anyone in your life who brushes their teeth with baking soda I've known people who have do it. So I'm like, what are you doing? Is that bad? I think it takes the enamel off. Okay. I don't know Who do that like my friends claims that's why she has such white teeth

1:02:28She's like I always brush with baking soda. I'm like, I don't think you're supposed have you talked to your dentist about this? I think you can though Because like baking soda use the right way is really really we just listen. We want house the freshness of the breath Like that's my feeling like smells get me. So I'm How's the fret like I was there your teeth are white, but what is it doing for like CJ said you're good like yeah, I don't know Ah, that part. I don't know All right, Angela. We got to let you go But thanks for this thought provoking conversation as always. We'll see you next Angela, we're going to place bays one day and we're going to get to the bottom of it.

1:10:02Was the college basketball story that the whack And I'm saying held one of its members hostage going into their basketball tournament Because they issued an old tomato that Utah Valley needed to pay one million dollars If they wanted to compete in the tournament now the reason for all of this is that Utah Valley is leaving the whack in July for the big west RIP the whack the confidence of my childhood the whack is forever the whack in my life But the whack then sued Utah Valley claiming that it refused to pay a contractually obligated exit fee of one million dollars Utah Valley was like we're not paying the whack said cool if you don't pay You're not playing in our conference tournament And now the update is that Utah Valley paid their one million dollar fee So the men's and women's teams can play in the tournament, but this was Just one of those weird things that happened in the world to sports just on the men's side Utah Valley is the one seed Yes, the whack was going to ban their best team from the the tournament and good on the whack

1:11:03I support that you owe me money dog. What do you mean? Nah, if I have a party and you owe me a million dollars And you out here flexing and flogging like you don't owe me a million dollars You're not coming to my party so I get my money.

I didn't come to wherever the hell you tall valley isn't throw hands Are you kidding me? Get out of here So you're on Rebecca Ray's side Rebecca Ray would have been would have been well within her right to show up to Utah Valley And slap the hell out of whoever was in charge you owe me a million down dollars to give me my money Stop playing and you you're not gonna get that money before the door is closed because the whack is They'll find some some more team. No, they're closing. Oh, they're honoring. Yeah, in July. It's over

1:12:04Oh, that's what my dad's going to this basketball tournament My dad was at risk of not being able to see the one seed Utah Valley Oh, that's why you told valley wasn't going to put him and the commissioner who Came after him Jeff heard who worked for my dad for many years before becoming commissioner himself They are going to the whack basketball tournament in Las Vegas to say goodbye To the western athletic conference because come July the conference is shutting its doors third conference in the last Like three decades. I think since 1990 to dissolve can you name the other two So what the whack dissolve there are about two The mat not Mac. What's the the Mount West? No, no, still around still so since the 90s Since the 90s Oh gosh, I can't and both dissolved in 1996 actually both dissolved and became so so we count on big eight southwest No, yeah, yeah, yeah, Southwest Southwest Conference.

What do we want to do a riverboat? Okay. I don't know I think you can put a car in a fairy. That's what I always think. I don't think that's the definition of cars on fairies in St. Louis I don't know. I'm just saying my interpretation of a fairy Not saying Louis in Seattle because if you're trying to get across the bay Like when we go when we go from where my mom lives into Seattle We have the carport on the ferry so you park your car and then you go sit on the ferry and then you have your car in Seattle

1:15:07Oh, okay a lot of people use it for commuting just because not mean not a lot of people because it is a slow way to get about But some people do if you don't want to sit in traffic you can park your car on the ferry and Get it across the line. I didn't know they I didn't know they were doing that in Seattle. I'm not saying Louis Seattle Yeah, but yeah, so I want to eat chicken fingers or fish and chips out of a boat Yes, looks delightful. Did you see I didn't follow this super closely? So I don't know the detail but the big dumper and the Randy or is arena.

Either he's putting on a terrific act. Yeah, that's out of it That's I also is hard. He was actually mad because I don't speak Spanish And so I can't tell what is being said and how it's being said But I think I think he ended it with the only good thing about cowl is his parents

1:16:10And I got to see them and they hug me and I'm I'm happy for them that he's here But if you know me can shove it or whatever so I I took it as they're they're good Okay, that's how I took it. Okay, but yeah, they're on different teams if if they're good great if they're not there on different teams They shouldn't be as Mexico versus USA. That's one of our international rivals Yeah, you don't like them when you're playing against them.
