That's paycord.com slash leaders. I've seen a, I'm just thinking about you at these games now and I remember seeing videos of you talking to the refs all the time. For me, bro, you got magic. You know too. They don't like calling calls for us for most of the point because they, you know, we have the ball. We're smaller too. And you taught me, of course, but for me, they always thought that I wasn't getting bumped or something. And I'm like, bro, I, and I play football growing up. So I'm like, bro, I actually want the contact. So if I'm getting bumped, bro, I'm like, like three flopping wasn't a thing back then. So I'm like, bro, if I'm falling like, bro, you think I'm making myself fall. So they never call fouls for me. So I can be like, man, forget the refs, man, like I used to really talk to them a lot of the time. You guys never call him for me, bro.

2:03Every time I get in the game, like you guys think I'm flopping or whatever. So it would, it just been a lot of time they, I used to get a lot of texts. I remember one time I got a tech on the bench, one time, David Lee, David Lee dunked on the Marys Dottomar and I screamed, like he, you know, Mario got dunked on any stumbled by our bench. And I screamed at him the whole time, like, and then I screamed the N word to him, hella loud. And every, and the referee was like, tech on Nate. I was like, bro, I'm not even in the game, but they just gave him anything I said. It was just always something, but it was a couple of cool ones in there, but they, they hated me for the most part. Have you ever been kicked out of one of your kids games? Oh, many. Hell yeah. No, that's crazy. How far does game do my sons, man, so many times my son, my, my middle son was like that. And you just watched the game from like the back and just not say anything, like I just have to sneak into his games and like, you know, behind the bleachers and just watch him be quiet because he knew that, you know, I'll get hyped and rattle, you know, you

3:06know, little, little chatty with the raps and just, you know, other parents that want to talk shit. I just, you know, I was that dad, but I got way better now than my daughter plays, you know, so I'd be chilling, letting her do her thing. I'm over here looking now. Come like J.B. Starting to get some, you starting to get some text now. I got two in the last week. Ish. It's okay. Yeah. It's my first two. It's my first, first two of the year. Not bad. I just had it. This time of year, I probably had like 10, 12, one time, I was like, I think I was one game away from getting suspended for the season. Oh, you was, so you was out again, texts, if you, if you was almost suspended, you, yeah, well, a lot of my texts weren't just yelling. It was like, you know, hanging on a rim too long because I was like, you know, I'll get you guys. So I was doing, you know, stuff like that. Get the ball. They asked for the ball. They would, you know, throw it away to the other side. They can go get it. So I was a little t*** ton because they were so f***ing mean to me, bro. So I was like, f***, I'm just being mean to you or if the ball roll like they want to give it, I look at it at, like I'll get it and then walk the other way.

4:09So I was doing a little petty s***. I was, I was petty LaVale for sure. How many texts do we have this season? Because I'm good. I, I'm not going to say I was as bad as Nate because I was not that bad, but I was, I was bad. Yeah. I think like last year I might have had like eight or 10, so I had, most I had, he's 11 or 12. I don't know. I'm chilling, chilling this year. Most I've ever got was like 11 or 12 in the season. I'm trying to find it, bro. I was, I was like, I wasn't worse than Dremont Green though. He's the worst probably him. I ain't about anybody. Next to the Shee Wallace and probably Dennis Rodman, it was probably, it's probably, it's probably Dremont. He's top, top five, I'm probably top 10 ever. Nate for you as someone who's gotten a lot of women, I guess Josh for you too, like I'm sure some percentage of them are just sheer emotion. You can't control yourself. You get angry and you say something, but I feel like a certain percentage of them are

5:10strategic where it's like, you got to get a lot more, like you know, like last year, I mean, a couple years ago, who was that, was that, um, I want to say it was Tatum remember when he bounced the ball, he got a tech, I got a couple of techs where they called a tech and I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I don't want me and I'm like, they reaction tech. I'm like, bro, what? So certain techs they react a certain way, you know what I'm saying? So sometimes, sometimes you got to get something, you just got to say, sometimes, like, because they're a pro. So I'm going to be like, and then you know, with the whole Sheen scandal thing that they had going back in and they're like, y'all been cheating for so long anyway. So it's like, we already think doing that anyway. So it's like. You guys give me 10. You're real. I don't know how you feel, man. Give it everything you chose. A lot of years, bro. They didn't be wrong for a lot of years, bro. Nate, I feel like the final. It was the referees that were like, you know, it was a lot of them that were, you know, a little older. So they're old school, real big time old school type of refs, but I'm like, I like the old

6:11school ref now. Like the one that we had that older because like, you can talk to them, you can talk to them more. That's bad. I said, you got like, you had Tony brothers, like Tony brothers, like, you get Tony, Tony, I told Tony one time he looked like Roy Jones Jr. He gave me a take. Oh, like, man, such a Roy Jones Jr. He's up. I saw it. No. See, that deserves a take. If you were joking, if you were, if you were, oh, you look like Roger's Jr. Yeah. When you call a bad call, when you call a bad call, of course, you got to, you got to. The funniest thing is like with Tony, Tony, you're going to sit there and say, like, man, shut your ass up and keep playing like, he's going to see something like that. Like, he's going to back to you and then when he puts it, it's crazy. No, I know, but he'll give me, unless I go crazy, you know, I don't think, I don't think Tony's, I don't think Tony's giving me a touch. Yeah. But I at least like the ones that you can kind of like go back and forth with a little

7:12bit. Zach is cool. Zach is cool. Zach, you know, I don't have a little talk shit that Zach really wasn't one of those wrestlers, but I can talk to Zach and he'll understand that. But, you know, I just try not to say nothing to him because, you know, I thought they all hated me. So I just tried to be called it. You didn't clearly didn't try, but just don't start talking to me when they call bad calls. Then I'm looking at certain reps and I'm looking at them and I just keep looking at them. And then he looked at me crazy. I'm like, bro, what are you looking at? You've made the call. You've made that call. So then in the game, I'm like, all right, let me not give my second, man. Let me chill out. I just try not to get them in the quarter. That's when coaches get to get pissed. Don't get them in the game. They get mad, don't they? Yeah. I just try to get them before the fourth quarter. So you were trying to get them? No, not all the time, bro. Some of them are dessert and then some I did. And I was there. I got a lot. Sometimes I'll be in Deviant, depending on if the car, if I know I didn't foul them and they car on foul, or if I got fouled and they didn't want to call it, and then I

8:13go to the hole again and I don't get one. Oh, yeah, you won't hear from me for sure. JB, I feel like you were close to getting one against OKC. I feel like I saw you say something around here. All right, shit, my bad, my bad. I'll chill. Do you remember that? Yeah, but OKC, you do a lot of stuff. I'm sorry. I just know. OKCB on that flop. And they've never. I think I was like, maybe, but I don't remember saying like my bad. I remember saying, I'm OK with like you guys calling that foul, like if it's a foul, it's a foul. But it's the same thing down there. I'm not saying don't call that. I'm saying, if you're going to call that, you can go down there. Yeah. See what you guys got. You guys got the little, the football red flag and you can go replay it. We didn't have that. We didn't have that. He had that ****. Our games have been so long. Look at it again. So. They couldn't do it, y'all, because y'all, they could, y'all could do that every time. The big dance is almost here. A body armor is back. It's the official sports drink of March Madness.
