Like it’s alline just got paid in his own time been working hard up been on the ground is feeling having my way i’ been on this heing this is my day sun’s out let’s have a little fun now I want to let it all out that’s what’s it all
About cuz I deser is feeling in I have it my way I deserve this healing this is my day grind City media presents the Jessica Benson show with CJ Hurtz live from the grind City media Studios on YouTube at grind City media and the official grind City media
App happy Friday everybody happy Good Friday happy Beyonce day we are here on this Good Friday CJ I was just trying to figure out while we were in our little intro if everybody has Good Friday off in schools growing up because I don’t remember ever having Good Friday off but
I just looked at the Denver public school calendar because that’s where I grew up and it’s spring break so it doesn’t tell me anything because everybody’s off for Good Friday going to Easter week way that if I recall correctly it’s been a while but the way that I recall the spring break was
Always uh started on uh Good Friday and so it was hey you got got an extra day of that’s or it include spring break included Good Friday or good Monday so where you would have that week off and then Sunday will be Easter and then you
Will come back to school okay so Easter Easter break we we called it Easter break for most of my childhood that’s the break that we got um and then they changed it cuz everybody doesn’t celebrate Easter that’s fine to spring break round if I remember correctly Good
Friday is considered a state holiday in 12 States including Tennessee Texas Florida Sal New Jersey Indiana Oh Hawaii oh Delaware Louisiana what Kentucky South North Dakota what and North Carolina South so the two north of The Dakotas and the Carolinas but the South’s like no you can work you can go to school
Anyways Good Friday Chris is at home in bed he’s sound asleep I was like oh I’m so jealous but I am excited because we had March Madness action last night we have so much men’s and women’s tournament action ahead of us over this here little weekend and of course all I
Really want to do is talk about Beyonce cowboy quter cowboy quarter Cowboy Carter all day but I will wait I will force myself to wait until we get to music Friday appropriately uh because CJ I said it once I’ve said it again I will say it again I will say it again and
Again why did I trust Arizona why did I trust Arizona in the NCA tournament as we widely discussed they are bad tummy team you believe this is the year that it’s different and then Arizona at least they didn’t flame out in the first round at least they didn’t
Flame out in the second round but they go down to Clemson Clemson a team that lost to Memphis that is how I will be defining Clemson through the remainder of the tournament and we’ll see if it all comes to an end for Clemson in the
Elite 8 or if they happen to find their way going to the final four Clemson man a six seeding Clemson standing up for the ACC another bad loss for the ACC last night with North Carolina falling in the later game of the evening to Alabama wait are we doing this for real
Doing what for real can you have bad losses in the sweet 16 like once you get okay if you’re a two SE if you’re a two- seed in Arizona you can if you’re a one- seed in North Carolina you can you’re the one in two seed North Carolina lost
To what what was Alabama a four seed yeah like is that a four seed with no defense is that bad for real for real it’s a significant disappointment I think once you get to the Sweet 16 everybody’s playing without money at this point like I don’t think I don’t
Think the fan bases of those yeah yeah fans fans are going to be what fans are going to be I think a sweet 16 run for anybody is a is ends with a good year it’s a lot like if Alabama gets to the Peach Bowl the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl or
To the to the Sugar Bowl or what have you is it the cfp no and I’m talking about the in the and in the P they get to a six bowl is it the cfp no but you got to one of those that that has to matter for something especially you want
To argue that or you want to say if you’re one of those people who wants to say Arizona’s lost to Clemson is bad because like Clemson has been playing above themselves here recently this is a Clemson team who lost not just to to Memphis but limped into the tournament
If I’m not mistaken fine I I I might be willing to let that slide but North Carolina losing to Alabama team team that top three in the SEC right a Alabama team that is a four seed that’s I I think that’s that’s not ideal not great but it’s fine it’s not like North
Carolina went out of here and lost to a 13 seed like what are we doing I will put it from the standpoint of at least with North Carolina and I think this is where your argument has some legs I don’t agree entirely because when you’re
A one seed your job your mission is to get to the final four weekend I think if you get to the final four you get to the semifinals then you lose in a tight game with another top seed fine so no matter what if you’re a one seed you it’s only
A successful March as a one seed if you get to the final four I’d put a lead eight okay I don’t know why that’s my very specific I mean mine’s istic sure it’s one more game but that one more game feels important but for Arizona to further your point there the reason it
Feels feel bad worser whatever it may be for Arizona is because Arizona has not been to a final four since 2001 so this continues to be their stamp like this is their identity as a team that does not get there and fair or unfair sure yes
You make it to the second weekend you didn’t lose to a Grand Canyon this year you didn’t lose to an Ivy League you didn’t lose to a 16 seed for God’s sake or a 15 seed um but you did lose to Clemson I missed that whole game I was a
Little disappointed to have missed the game just because I would have enjoyed seeing how it played out and then I was shocked when I looked at my phone I was at a special premiere of the marcool Memphis made documentary that debuts tonight grind City media’s newest documentary in honor of marcols Jersey
Getting retired next Saturday on April 6th here at FedEx forum Michael blevens and the whole creative team the whole video team with the Memphis Grizzlies and GCM did a tremendous job and they did a special premiere last night out at Forest Hills Malco for some VIP season
Ticket holders and so I was there and then did a conversation with Michael Bens the director and Chris Vernon and Chris Harrington afterwards and so by the time I looked at my phone I was like oh my God how did this happen I had no
Idea how this happened but I did want to make one note on the marcool documentary and I I won’t spoil it for anybody um I do encourage everybody to watch it tonight it’s really really good like if I had had the Mark Gasol documentary you’re a fan of basketball you
Understand the story of the Gasol brothers like you even not living here in Memphis you have a general understanding of what that is and who marcool was and the core for and the meaning for the Memphis Grizzlies and whatnot and their place within the NBA
Landscape but I wish that I had had this documentary when I first moved to Memphis because it so clearly Paints the picture of why it meant more for Mark in Memphis because Mark is a memphian like he talks about growing up here and going to loanne I missed the footage of him
Cooking you in high school basketball CJ missed it too scared to try anything he never cooked me I not make the dock yeah because there were no highlights because he and I I saw him coming and I stopped not going to drive on Mark Gasol that
Dude was 7 feet 300 lb in high school I cannot tell you how much I would have like just erupted into laughter if they showed laan highlights and I saw you on the other end if I had so you protected yourself in the long the long game was
Long I had a fast break it was me and Marcus all if I had went at Mark Gasol I would have been on those highlights cuz he would have beat my [ __ ] my [ __ ] into the ground it would not have been pretty he would have banged me off the
Backboard yeah he would have yeah 7 foot 300 lb in high school I’m like five I’m a 510 175 lb sophomore soaking wet no I’m not doing that no hell no it was fun to see like the recognition period for all of the people who knew Marcus all’s
Pals little brother his big little brother at laan and understanding like oh this guy’s going to be really good oh this guy’s going to be an allar someday oh this is going to be one of the best bigs in the league and pal said it from not the beginning beginning but
Early on like when it was being requested of Po to give a stamp of approval of sorts like should we pay Marcus all this amount of money he said yeah he’s going to be really really good and Jeff Caulkins over at the daily memphi and shared a story of being at
The Olympics and talking to Pal about his little brother and then talking to Kobe Bryant about marcool as well and they’re like he’s going to be an Allstar one day and then next thing you know someday he’s an All-Star someday he’s tipping off against his brother in an
All-Star game which is a very cool moment um but all the culmination of him eventually your career will lead you outside of Memphis you go to the Raptors you finally win that ring and what does he put in the ring grit and grind like it had a significant Memphis had such an
Extra significant meaning to him and the documentary shows the whole thing also shows his philanthropic efforts everything that he did with the group where he rescued migrants in the Mediterranean it’s incred like that alone is worth watching the documentary they find one of the women whose lives
That he saved and to hear her story and to talk about this big this big guy full of love Marcus all who’s out there you know steering a boat for 11 hours in an effort to just save however many people they could save is tremendous stuff 7
O’clock tonight on YouTube you can find it there they can say after like Olympics and after a certain point oh no that guy’s going to be good I’m telling you I watched him in high school several times because he not only did we play him up close and personally they went to
State state was in um it was at David lipom he and Brandon Wright faced off like I I watched a fair amount of Marcus all in high school that dude is not the same dude I remember I’ve shared this story a handful of times I remember I got here
And it was the 500 year for that core for group I was like oh Memphis might have something Brewing here with Randolph and Marcus all and Tony Allen and at the time Rudy Gay and Mike connley like there might be something this team feels fun uh and I called my
Dad I was like yo you’ll never guess who’s on TV right now playing professional basketball in the NBA who Mark Gasol he’s like what he must be getting work why do the Grizzlies always do this with big men first hasim to beat now Mark G like what is going on I like
No no no you don’t understand Mark is good it’s like he’s good he’s good you’ve got to watch it and my dad called me like oh yeah mark That’s not the same Markus all I I see why you didn’t drive on that but he wasn’t that in high
School you should have drove it right like that the growth in his game from high school till when that trade happened the trade bringing him from LA to Memphis it’s is exponential I’ve never seen anything like it it’s incredible it’s like the cruelest of irony to have to listen to Pal Gasol
Talk about finding out that he was traded to the Lakers and he’s saying that they waited until the very end in the like explaining the return package to him they waited until the end to say oh and marcusa is coming to the Memphis Grizzly so it splits the family outside
Of it and for Mark they talk about he was a zerar recruit like it wasn’t that he was bad he was a very good high school basketball player no he wasn’t he was bad he was absolutely bad he was big he was bad I’m telling you all Mar was
Was 7et and 300 lb like he was he was just bigger than every of him the highlights of him yes it looks like unfair every I feel like every single high school this is a universal tale across High School sports there is always that one big dude who is
Certainly not the most a most oh my God most athletic go ahead what the hell did I just got get your list the most athletic the most athletic guy on the court but he’s a head taller than everybody else and he’s able to just cherry pick his booty off out there and
Somehow is a a contributor I had one on my I had one on my girls basketball team our boys team had one the boys teams that we played against had one and then some they would match up and cancel each other out something happened and Mark
Was not pleased about it and this is when I made the decision not to try him he went to his teammate in that thick Spanish accent like no no no don’t give me the ball here throw it up here and he jumped up just barely jumped and got to
The middle part of the backboard I’m thinking to myself I’ve tried my whole life to get up that high there’s no way in hell I’mma I’mma get up there so if he’s back I’m I’m not going to try him but no marcusa was not and in that game
In that state tournament m Brandon Wright dominated Mark gazal like Brandon Wright and britwood Academy like handled Mark gazal and that was Brandon Wright’s freshman year that was his freshman year and Mark Gasol’s senior year Mark Gasol was not good in high school he was big
He put up a lot of stats he carried his team to a uh deep playoff run into a championship game but let’s not confuse D2 with the public schools you know what I’m saying like you it’s one thing to beat up it’s one thing to beat up on you
Know the the the bgas of the world it’s something else that have to take on like the the the the east or the centrals like the those types of schools and and get to State so let’s not do that but he did get a D2 team to to state now I
Don’t think I’m not sure how far laan has been or if they’ve even won the state championship I covered them I don’t know if they won who was that kid Ashton something they were always there but Brier Crest was the big D2 School yeah that was just crushing it when I
Was covering preps here anyway Gasol Memphis made tonight grind City media on YouTube check it out I think we’re going to have the director on the show next week to talk about it too um he has so many stories there’s so many like characters pop up through it characters
Being very real people do you have do you want to make a guess no I don’t I don’t want you to I you don’t want you don’t want me I was going I was going to ask you most surprising person to pop up but I think it would be better as a
Surprise don’t to if you don’t think it’s better as a surprise most surprising person to pop up Kevin Durant oh yeah listening to people that marcusa went up against and Kevin Durant with some very um kind words in regards to the dynasty that never was that’s not exactly how he
Puts it but that’s the basics of it and it’s so true that core for it’s easy for me to say it’s very easy for me to say now that I live here and I’m inundated by the Memphis Grizzlies Grand forever yada y y um but to look at that group
And to say God if they had just won one because to talk about a dynasty you have to have a championship you do a dynasty equates with winning it all at least once and instead you’re left dancing around the fact that those guys played two together for so long in Gasol and
Conley and Zebo and Tony Allen and they never wanton it they never got over that hump it’s so sad and it feels one of those so unfair things to sports because you watch it and you remember and God they deserved it you got to win more
Than one to be a dynasty I don’t know you do I think you have to win one but could you have gone to multiple no no you have to win more than one to be a dynasty I will say my one of my top five
Wha ifs in NBA and one of my top 10 15 wh ifs in all the sports what if the Grizzlies are healthy against that Warriors team I think they win that series I’m not sure how far they go but I think they win that series that gets them into another Western Conference uh
Finals maybe to an NBA finals and then what do the Warriors do and how does that change the game of basketball today cuz if the Warriors go out to the Grizzlies Charles Barkley is saying things like you can’t win with a jump shooting team as the Warriors are making
That run people are having those types of conversations the Warriors need more siid Warriors need to get bigger you can’t be running around shooting the ball you have to play inside out not outside in if the Grizzlies beat that Warriors team a team that had flirted
With trying to pull in a Kevin Love type maybe they trade clay maybe they they do something maybe they trade clay and Draymond and get more sides and we don’t ever and we never ever get that line of a death thing we never ever get Draymond
At the five and igod doala at the at the four and Harrison Barnes and Steph and Clay running around doing that and then think about what that does to the NBA maybe maybe zachi is an NBA player right like that’s but that’s that’s very those are the Memphis Grizzlies had on to win
A championship where is Zach today that’s the kind of Full Circle conversation you need you need two bigs on the court you need two you have to keep look the Warriors tried it it didn’t work they fa they scrapped it you have to have two big try it again good
Try good effort and instead it starts that is the start of the Warriors Dynasty and for the Grizzlies it represents the beginning of a championship window closing and things falling into the place where you are now in this new window which is very cool to think of Marcus’s Legacy and having
Shared time with jiren Jackson Jr who is still on this team anyway the documentary is great you should watch it uh we will continue to talk about last night’s sweet 16 action maybe with Lang Whitaker if he watched it uh the grant Nelson Hive can go ahead and stand up
For Alabama Grant Nelson Hive I mean that in a sense of I didn’t know Grant Nelson necessarily existed until yesterday the North Dakota State transfer doing it all for Alabama last night might have made himself some money last night the way that he played the way uh that he is structured 6114 out
There on the court with 24 points 12 rebounds and five blocks for Alabama in the win over North Carolina Lang whiter will join us on the other side we’ll get into all of that and more with him when we come Back let’s face it there’s a lot of trash talk in basketball but the great teams let their performance do the talking like Ford F-150 with Pro Power on board a class exclusive industry first feature that turns your truck into a mobile generator and leaves the competition speechless Ford F-150 official truck of

Sports app Valley Sports home of the only team you want to watch Welcome back it is Friday yes that means it’s time to catch up with Lang what Ur after a one we accidental Hiatus in which we are forever apologetic because we had our March Madness uh GCM Mega show last week and Langer was chilling in his office never to be
Never to be come and got to come on the show waiting for the call I’m so sorry the call that pissed me off the most actually there’s two things that pissed me off the most the first is that the night before I was here late with Grizz
Gaming and and so I probably wouldn’t have come in sure unless TJ had asked me to come in which he did so I did come in to do it but then then I was also like it was the first night of March Madness and I’m not really that big of a
College basketball person but I knew that the show was a college basketball theme show so I watched the game and I had some hot takes ready to go I was ready I was going to say don’t take Arizona to get to the final four I had some like really advice that could have
Spared so many people my long shot pick yeah in the grind City media pick thing oh oh my God that’s right you took Alabama what a justification day for you Alabama yeah but they weren’t a long shot but actually thing well why not no and I I am trending
More they are not what was the name sleeper pick they’re a four seed I think a four seed as a sleeper but this is where things get arbitrary because on CJ also for his sleeper pick for the women’s bracket he took a five seed that’s different
Why cuz five is greater than four what are we doing here yeah but it’s only apparently there’s a hard line SLE very hard line after being a sleeper well it’s funny because I started by saying you know two big upsets in the sweet 16 last night and two like disappointing
Ends for Hebert Davis and North Carolina and for Arizona and there’s like unanimous understanding like oh it’s disappointing for Arizona because God here they go again a team that hasn’t been to the final fourth since 2001 y y y but with Alabama CJ push back and he
Said oh can North Carolina really be that man it was a four seed so where does Alabama sit in the conversation of being a sleeper being an underdog it is the SEC it is very difficult for me as just a human being in general to ever ever consider an SEC team a sleeper
Underdog certainly do not try to put the Cinderella slipper on any of them because that shit’s falling off immediately I think you could you it’s hard to consider an SEC team an underdog if you’re talking about the college football playoff I think if you’re talking about the college basketball
Playoff it’s a lot easier all encompassing argument we now get a very college football playoff e but also game between Alabama and Clemson Alabama is a team that you know their best player went to the NBA they they had they lost a bunch of their best players and then
They lost they lost five of their six they lost their whole coaching staff like Nate oats lost all the assistant coaches he had too like that that team went underwent a lot of turnover in the last year and so I was like all right I’ll pick I’ll take him as a long shot
And their three best players are former absolute like mid major or lower their best player last night transfer from North Dakota state with Grant Nelson with the stash one of their other best players is a transfer from Ohio one of their other best players is a transfer
From St Peters so not necessarily these like heavy hitter juggernauts that you thought would have replaced the five or six guys that they lost including lostly too like I mean they lost a bunch of guys last year do they want him back lost like somebody tweeted this out and I I can’t remember
Who Alabama had a bunch of transfers guys let me prove the point I might agree with you Alabama lost a bunch of lost a bunch of transfers the Alabama men’s basketball team and lost them to good programs historically speaking lost them to programs that care about basketball I think they lost
Somebody in Michigan State lost somebody to uh Memphis maybe somebody in North Carolina I can’t remember entirely but they lost a bunch of dudes one went to the pros and in Miller and a bunch of dudes transferred and Alabama still made it further than any of those other
Programs with the Alabama transfer so I’m I’m throwing law in quotation mark maybe they just said h no wait please don’t go come back please don’t leave me a bye the little angel re I feel I feel good about my pick of Alabama though congratulations NATO has those guys
Playing well like I have to admit one defensively there’s a lot to be desired but offensively if they can hit their stride offensively every game then sure like I was watching bits and pieces of the um Alabama Grand Canyon game no the Grand Canyon game and I was like they should
Have beaten Canyon by 100 because gr Canyon was they play but Alabama plays no defense I tweeted last night they make Mike danton’s like teams look like like defensive minded they do nothing they’re like a Tony Ben defense it’s like you know cursory defense if anything they just kind of like watch
Guys go to the rim and score um I mean it helped them tremendously that RJ Davis goes 0 of nine from three his only game this season but it but but they can outscore anybody like we saw it all season long they scored a ton of points throughout the season they scored like
110 against Charleston in the first round they can score so like I A lot of times when I watch college basketball offense is the first thing you see like they take a lot of bad shots it’s sloppy it’s a lot of one-on-one play Alabama can outscore anybody they play against and that’s why
I took them I was like you know like who knows maybe they’ll make a run the thing with like taking teams where they score 80 points they’re going to go to the final four things like this always happen like a team like a Clemson yeah always happens it’s just incredibly
Difficult to pick who is it going to be and on the Arizona side I this was crazy cuz I think both those games were in the same building last night right I don’t know I believe so so in the same building you had RJ Davis go9 from three
Yeah they were because it would have been everyone immediately was like oh it could be the Caleb Mills former team showdown in the Elite 8 and now you get neither of them but Caleb Mills went 0 of nine from three so in the same thing you had two of the best players in
College basketball go 0 of 18 from three and like that’s Showbiz baby like that’s March Madness that’s how things Roll by the time we got to the Illinois uh Iowa State game last night I was so tired these games they start so late so late I
Didn’t watch that game that’s okay I was the Illinois Iowa State game I was like half in half out that game was on two channels did you notice was it it was on True TV and TBS for some re you’re still hanging on true I was just like flipping
Around and I and I was like oh I was like there must be a different game on this one and I flipped over to True TV and they had that game the Iowa State it was on two channels for some reason well maybe TV gets all cuz True TV doesn’t
Have like the singular games after the first round the simcast ones so maybe they just get the extras maybe they could like split screen it with Impractical Jokers for another year I don’t does true TV do anything other than Impractical Jokers in it’s the only thing I can reference it’s all I’ve got
They used to have the Carbonaro something the Carbonaro effect that was the only they ran commercials for that and practical jokers constantly carbon carbon like a pasta show I don’t know oh well all I know is that during the Illinois game obviously so much focuses on that um Terren Shannon kid who was
Has averaged 28 points in this tournament and is very very good there’s a lot with him and there’s a lot of reason why people didn’t talk about him as much during the season but from a sheer basketball standpoint like he’s the kind of player who can take over a
Game in March and even when he was on the bench with four fouls like they were able to remain afloat but Illinois has a player whose name is um Marcus damask and all I heard all night because I was kind of like half in half out
Right so I just wake up to like dumbass and I was like who there’s a kid on this this poor kid’s name is dumbass but there’s a k at the end so Marcus damask and the fighting aloni and Terrence Shannon all advanced with Illinois this Iowa State one of the best defenses in
College basketball this season uh got lit up by them they did have a super soaker moment in the locker room after the game not sure if you saw this um the head coach Brad Underwood his players had gotten him earlier in the tournament do we have both videos CJ just one video
The one from last night so he got his revenge he came prepared to fight back against his team and I think we should get more Super soers in the locker room take a look keep talking jayen trying to K we’re not going to just keep talking
We’ll run it as B that’s okay I do love I just love super the last time we had a super F I haven’t had a Super Soaker fight since I was in elementary school and I saw this and it made me immediately want a super soer
Fight look at them it’s not really a fight I mean it’s in the last 10 seconds it’s a celebration he took his shirt off he was prepared I’m also like just I don’t know if you guys have watched it at all like is fun as the NCAA
Tournament has been love you know what’s been a lot of fun that the NIT Tournament I know I’m all in on the NIT George’s in the final four of course they are of course but you know who else is in the final four Indiana State yeah
Made it to the final four and the finals the it’s not in Madison Square Garden anymore it’s in Indianapolis so it’s going to be like a home game for the sycamores and play Utah Right milk Chamberlain milk CH oh that’s a new one I haven’t heard that one Larry nerd milk
Chamberlain Steph blurry uh crear there’s a bunch I like milk Chamberlain okay Georgia seat Hall and Utah Indiana State the Indiana State Cincinnati game I didn’t watch it live I just saw the highlights afterwards and I I was mad that I did not watch it but it been
Awesome so much college basketball like it’s such an odd U exercise because I spend a lot of the year and I watch the Memphis Tigers games because you know we’re here and we’re talking about them I don’t watch because we have to and I watched a little USC basketball early on
Until I realized like bronnie James is not the second coming of his father and I abandoned that and now Andy Enfield is going to SMU and that is a okay with me but I spend all year saying I don’t watch I don’t watch a lot of college
Basketball anymore I you know spend my time watching the NBA and going through football season and all of that and then March comes and all I do with the entirety of my life is watch men’s and women’s college basketball it’s all I do for three and a half weeks of the year
And I’m so drunk on it I can’t do anything else like this weekend I’m looking at the schedule I don’t have time to do anything I haven’t watched an episode of soprano in weeks I got news for your sister today’s opening day of baseball too yesterday was today the
Braves play their first game today today Braves Phillies spener Strider on the bump for the Braves Zack Wheeler for the Phillies it’s going to be an amazing game 3: baseball starts today too so you got that going along with the basketball did you watch any baseball yesterday
Mention fun I did you mentioned fun names though Cincinnati’s point guard okay the son of Edan James okay his name Jizzle James no yes with a j j i zzle e jizzel James point guard for Cincinnati barricades that can’t be his government name is his government name not his he’s
Actually I think it’s Edan James Jr but on the website it says jizel James I was looking this up when the game was going on his brother is Eden how boring yeah his brother really needs to find something can’t be I’m [ __ ] edrian James was at the game they were playing
Indiana State they were playing milk Chamberlain and edrien James was in the front row it was a wild game to watch it I think Eden I think that is the James at Howard he’s he’s a he’s a pretty good running back at Howard yeah he plays football
Butet this is a great article um uh let’s find the quote where it was a self-proclaimed quote chill college kid jizzel birth name is etan so where the name jizzel come from jizzel is like my onc court Persona oh jizzel I was creating a monster with that name right there we
Had to create something special we had my same name I always tell him that’s his alter ego when he turns into jizzel he turns into a whole other person maybe we need to create Draymond Green an alternate name on the court so chill the hillz it’s a drizzle instead of a storm
I’m just drizzle Drew goodon had the nickname the big drizzle for a little bit when he played in the NBA uh I watched baseball last night I watched the Cubs blow a game in the 10th inning against I forget who it was the Rangers uh yeah so
Baseball’s back it’s fun but the one thing was like they they’ made it even faster this year I don’t know if you’ve seen they’ve made more rule changes I did see that so now when Runners are on base the pitch clock’s even shorter and all the games last night were like super
Short even the Yankees game which always takes forever because they get lots of hits and stuff was under three hours they scored like 14 runs too and that so the your big takeaway this year is baseball is going to be even faster I think than it has been in the past I me
Just put that one in my pocket and anytime somebody asks me my opinion on baseball I’m well at least it’s faster this year at least even faster even faster last year was fast it’s going to be even faster this year red birds opening day today at 3:5 Auto on Park
Red birds are doing an Easter special cuz they have a game on Easter Sunday and so I don’t remember the specifics of it but you should look it up if you’re looking for something fun to do on Easter and forgot to make brunch reservations and need somewhere
Last this is the time to go to the Red Birds games it’s not so hot it’s so nice this weekend is going to be so beautiful that’s the problem too I’m going to be sitting inside watching basketball all weekend and the first tea in about 15 minutes 15 minutes yeah yeah I should
Get outside get out here uh yeah anyway uh anything NBA related that stood out obviously the Draymond Green thing I saw some who was on ESPN this morning saying that they should stop playing Draymond Green or somebody I don’t know anyway the the take was stop playing him like
You can’t being on the basketb so cannot stop breaking you know bad when even like Steve cerr blames Draymond Green after the game other night he was like Draymond was wrong he shouldn’t have done this like when even Steve Curry goes Curry when you he was crying on the
Court when you lose these guys like you might have finally gone too far I don’t know if he did I don’t think he did it seems not I mean there’s freaking AT&T commercials with Draymond Green showing during the the college basketball games I was like don’t you think like AT&T
Would prefer to have a spokesman for their company who that most of the country doesn’t hate that seems kind of like an odd choice to be I think he will be so much better post Play It’s the playing part of it that leads him into these moments
Like him as a personality outside that’s where it just it’s so bizarre seeing the different it’s not bizarre because it’s a pattern and we see it time and time again so it’s predictable but the difference between Draymond Green as a a person a human outside a pundit a
Podcaster just another dude with a microphone but like an ambassador of the sport and a friend amongst others and like a peer of other NBA players and and a multi-time champion as well and then he gets on the court and he’s just a psycho and it was I was watch not
Watching I had therapy yesterday and I was reminded of this there’s a physical therapy no like mental mental therapy like what Draymond Green allegedly is in I I am not of the mentality that like oh because he is doing this he’s clearly not in therapy like can take time but
There’s this process called edmr where they take you back whisper to you and you hear weird sounds no that’s admr edmr is where you like take a very specific yeah yeah that’s the one that’s EDM yeah that’s just EDM then you put an r at the end of it and listening to EDM
If you go yeah you just your therapy is like beating the beat outside of your head until you’re a new persona the band that’s coming to the thing good job RI river Beat I don’t know what it’s river Beat that’s the name of the festival one of the Griz Gamers said
That his girlfriend’s a big fan of EDM music I was like oh there’s a EDM famous coming I didn’t know the name of it and I had to look it up that’s I know this is 24 hours ago so it’s still in my head yeah anyway you were in therapy
Yesterday no there this process called like edmr where they take you back to an exact moment and like the whole point is just like getting as close to reliving that moment as possible and you like feel how your body responds to it but I just imagine like Draymond take us back
When’s the first time you remember like kicking someone in the nuts like and going all the way back to the origin store and him just sitting there and having to really a big guy from New Zealand go through it I think his name was Steven Sten called me mate but I
Just imagine the actual therapeutic work that Draymond Green would have to go through and it’s the problem with and yes Draymond as a podcaster pundit all that stuff is popular and you can see he’s successful as that right yeah as a personality outside of basketball and
Then like you say when he’s on the court he’s a psycho the problem is like it’s it’s kind of impossible to to draw a hard line between those two things like you you feel like one only exists because of the other one and that is the
Duality of man if you will yeah and and The Duality of Draymond is that is that it’s it’s it’s almost impossible to dislike one and like the other you know what I mean yes I and that’s what kind of keeps keeps me from liking the podcas
Or pundit one is cuz I know that that this is who he is over this guy the crazy guy over here like that’s that’s what he is but then you see him with his kids in a post game it doesn’t take away from and I I understand a commercial but
Even like I live with a Die Hard Golden State Warriors fan but even his frustrations with Draymond Green like there have been a lot of right championships and Draymond Green’s importance with the Golden State Warriors and their Championship runs and their ultimate abilities to even be
Still be competitive today like a lot of that rest with Draymond Green and so you’re able to excuse the mental gymnastics of being a fan allows you to make excuses but they only go so long and right now he’s doing conduct detrimental to his team and so some of
That support is getting pulled away that’s not right now it’s like it’s been for years but I feel like it’s escalated yes it has been but at this point the escalation factor is here’s the real the reality of it they’re not as good of a
Team as they have been in years past and so every single thing is highlighted in the way now where it’s under the the addition of and we’re not winning yeah and that makes everything worse and it used to be less frequent now now it’s very frequent it seems like so microscop
Too like that magnifying glass like now like people you can’t get away with like well I guess you can so you can’t get away with like grabbing Patty Mills around the neck and throwing him to the ground which happened the other night and no nothing happened but right for
The most part now when these things happen we notice them and I like them absolutely Lang enjoy your tea time get out on the course we will uh talk to you next week and grow Grizz gaming yeah how about Grizz gaming we sucessful Grizz gaming we switch tournament for the 2K

Why do you say my oh I think I’m rooting for Duke oh you should whisper that I know why I had a horrible realization yesterday what I love Jared McCain is that the one doing theard doing the tickity do he’s so fun I think I watched 100 Jared
McCain Tik toks yesterday I’m sorry I think I watched 100 Jared McCain Tik toks no he scored 30 points against JMU so and made a multi-million viewed Tik Tok no yeah he still plays for Duke I know you can’t cheer for Duke but he has
So much joy oh no he’s so fun that’s terrible you look like you’re about to take a spelling T you d u k e space b l u e e space d e v i LS what are you spelling Duke Blue Devil oh okay anyway I do love this kid
He has 2 million followers on Tik Tok and uh some people would call him cringe I don’t care he brings me joy he does little songs he does little dances he’s just so fun to watch like I guess for some people it’s one more reason to hate
Duke because if you are of the ilk of hating people who have fun people who like to make little videos for the internet then sure you can go on hating Jared McCain and Duke forever and always but if you are like me that’s fine permission granted but if you’re like me you’re
Fighting this very legitimate fight within your soul because I have disliked Duke sorry Luke Canard Luke Canard and his wife had their baby shout out to them congratulations future Duke Blue Devil um but I’ve I’ve grown up hating Duke my whole life and yet this kid is
So fun I’m like well I wouldn’t hate if Duke beat Houston today that’d be kind of fun I’d be interested in seeing that happen I need to see all of shed while I can cuz shed like Edy I’m not sure what they will do at the next level and I
Want to enjoy both of them for as long as possible I can’t have if Duke beats Houston it’ll just be another quiver in the bow that I have lined up at the Blue Devils or on my wall is Blue Devil hatred and I just pull the bow and just
Let it fire I can’t have them beating Houston call FBI Houston call them what they going to do [Laughter] actually what that back historically not a great call to make in this city is a call changes Destinies not a great call to make hey um speaking of not great calls to make
Did you see the Michigan politician who was very concerned with the arrival of the Gonzaga men’s basketball team wall to keep the zags out keep the zags out keep the zags we can’t the zag where are those buses taking the zags I don’t know build the wall around where where’s Guna
Spokane Spokan build a wall around Spokane we can’t have the Z getting out into the country it’s bad enough we’ve already got to deal with the Brandon Clarks and the ruy Hatcher muras and who else is there is what is there was there not a guard named Jaylen at one point
Why can’t I think Adam Morrison Adam Morrison is the nameid that one Drew Timmy Drew Timmy oh build the wall to keep Drew Timmy out let’s go whichever president presidential candidate offers to do that that presidential candidate gets my vote I can’t believe he sent
That tweet out this was a real life uh Michigan politician Matt madok who was very concerned he said happening right now three buses just loaded up with illegal Invaders at Detroit Metro anyone have any idea where they’re headed with their police escort to which the uh Twitter Community note was this is the
Gonzaga men’s basketball team the police escort is taking them to the NCAA men’s suweet 16 my favorite tweet that I saw about this was someone who said if we don’t do something America will soon be overrun by 68 wings with excellent mid-range games we used to be a nation
Of power forwards we must keep them out in keep today hadn’t been the Spokan spok hand nice is it do do they have a Hob Knob is my question because they got a Hob Knob in the was parts of Washington I went to a loaded question
Okay Spokan is nice all right um Spokan is full of very nice people love basketball there love so why why is it loaded well I believe you followed the story of the Utah women basketball coach and the Utah women having such horrible incidents that was not in Spokan they
Ended up getting moved into Spokane but Spokane is Neighbors with a place called cordelan Idaho beautiful lake lake cordelan lake CDA um but within the fringes of that Community he’s like one of the worst places in America for racism for former like clan members for neo-nazis for are anti- women um so
Spokane a family that lives in Spokan does that bleed over into Spokane no I mean I I think by Nature it has to it’s like right there so we we actually do need to build a wall then we need to build a wall to protect us from the
Clansmen and the the terrible racist sexist Spokan great is what I’m hear what’s what’s the name of lless City Spokan c cordelan cordelane yeah Build That Wall around both of them keep those people there Washington ones in Idaho well yeah build the wall around it and we can just ship everybody there the

Power bottoms oh okay happens I mean transitions you know things happen Okay other games from this week NC State Marquette I’m riding with Marquette Until the End Tennessee kraton will Rick Barnes make it to the Elite 8 would Tennessee fan how will Tennessee fans if they lose to
Kraton CJ from the upset of a season sadness of a season do you think Tennessee fans at this point they made it out of the first weekend yeah I I would think so turns down made it out of the first weekend regular outright regular season SEC Champs like yeah I
Think that’s a good year do you want more absolutely you want more that’s a good year for for anybody a sweet 16 run outright regular season Champs I I could get it theyd be a little frustrated because of how the team performed in the SEC tournament but outside of that I
Think all is on the up and up at this point for Tennessee I feel like they’re kind of playing with house money I only have two Elite eight teams left by the way Yukon Yukon made it and I need kraton to make it those are two of my
Only final four teams as well so yeah my bracket is shot to hell I have one two three four a four trying to win my whole life rest on Marquette the house rest on Marquette so let’s go Marquette with a Q who spell the Marquette a different
Way and why did you just no because I was trying to think there was one oh the dad bod story before we get to music Friday I thought that was in music Friday go ahead though I guess technically because Travis Kelce partner of Fame artist Taylor Swift but I want
Music Friday to just be about Beyonce it’s your show knock it out I know all right Taylor Swift according to the Daily Mail is loving Travis Kel’s dad bod as he quote rewards himself after his Super Bowl victory as the smitten couple continue to party and enjoy quality time together the couple were
Spotted spending time on the beach in the Bahamas last week Travis Kelce went on to joke about his current weight class in his podcast they are spending all their downtown a downtime together it has been a jet set start to their romance but this is the dad bod in
Question and this is the body of a Super Bowl winning tight end like this is not a dad bod H that’s a dad B no it is not that is so that is a professional athlete he’s a little he’s a little flabby oh my God and that’s a dad Bob no
It is not that is so Chris Luther takes his shirt off that’s exactly what Chris Luther looks like I’ve seen him that’s so kind yes it is that’s I that’s a dad BOD Man now when the season gets ready to start as we get closer I bet he’ll do
Some different things dietarily speaking and and from an exercise regime and get himself in NFL shape the season started right now no there’s no way in hell he’s in NFL shape that is not NFL shape for Travis Kelce no no no no that’s a dad bot I thought you guys had a different
Picture to show me you and Lane were talking about like no that’s not a dad bot this this picture right here looks like a dad body there’s another picture that you would like to show a different angle of it picture there’s another picture with his his legs are out and
The muscles alone on his quadriceps takes him away from having a dad bot like his legs are jacked the dad bod is here up is flabby but here down that [ __ ] is tone cuz you’ve been standing up at the grill all summer right like so you need quads hamstrings calves that’s
That’s supposed to be that that’s some body that is drinking drinking drank some alcohol had some sugar maybe more sugar than you’re traveling you’re having vacation it’s not Dad B though it’s just a slightly softer version of your inseason there’s not a pack there I think this is unfair to the daddies I
Want to stand for the daddies who have very normal dad bods and as a woman who we are well well aware of the effects of body dysmorphia and how things can affect our perceptions of ourselves for God’s sake if you had shown somebody a photo of like Lindsay Lohan in 2005 they
Told us she was fat she was not she wasn’t she was Tiny she was if you saw an actress 3 months after giving birth to a baby and they’d say she is not quite yet back at her baby body and she actually kind of was cuz she was really
Small to begin with that all seeps in so I just want for the men for the dads for the zaddies out there to understand you don’t have to look like Travis Kelce your dad bod can be your dad bod like a real dad bod this is like the the
Hollywood ified dad bod no professional athlei dad bod solid dad on a scale of 1 to 10 one being not really a dad bot and 10 being an absolute dad bot that is like a seven you know Nathan in the chat said that’s a dad bod for a dad with a
Three-month-old and I actually kind of agree that’s like right when you first stop working out because you have no time but by the time that baby is six months old you got a little more you don’t got the you don’t got the Gams anymore I’m going to need to see you
Clear definition I’m going need to see this picture you’re talking about because that that picture right there that we just showed that picture is a dad pot I’m sending it to Jaylen right now we will show it briefly when we come back on the other side and then we will

To edit your pictures then that’s okay too Beyonce Cowboy Carter part two of Beyonce’s big project all right Cowboy Carter dropped this morning it is finally here I was so excited to listen to this album I actually as I was watching the final minutes of the Illinois State game last
Night I tried to start it and Chris literally tried to slap my phone out of my hand and said Jessica you have to go to bed you can listen to it in the morning I said no I want to listen to it now he said no you can listen to it in
The morning it will still be there it was still there and let me tell you this is as Beyonce said herself this is not a country album This is a Beyonce album and within that it is completely multi-concept it’s a tour to force of creatives for Beyonce it is a piece of
Art that I person Al am very impressed by you got country yes but you also get pop you get rock you get a little trap you get opera Beyonce is out here singing Italian opera why are you looking at me with that face when in daughter the transition the Italian operatic
Transition in daughter is stunning and that song is stunning and I think vocally this album reinforces my belief that Beyonce is a very very talented singer she’s not just a performer she’s not just an entertainment she has vocals to back it up some of the riffs within this album
Are beautiful I think tonally it hits in a very nice aesthetic place for my eardrums um there’s also a little surf in it as well she has uh a sample of the Beach Boys Good Vibration that is definitively my favorite song on the album yeah yeah it uses Nancy sinatras These boots are
Made for walking at the beginning it uses the Beach Boys Good Vibrations it has big time Tina Turner Vibes it makes me think a lot of Proud Mary it feels like Tina Turner was in mind as Beyonce went about creating that track I will be playing it all summer long it is an
Experience it’s like an experience of a song and it Blends it’s a blending of the genres and by the time you get to the Good Vibrations I’m so into it and you want to shake your ass and that’s all you want to do and she’s telling you
To do it so you’re going to do it because that’s what Beyonce is saying I just really like that song and it fits in perfectly with we were talking about a track spaghetti where Beyonce wraps on that but in spaghetti it features Linda Martell who was the first black woman to
Perform at the Grand Old opery and she has a spoken um part of the track where she talks about genres and how like genres are a funny little Concept in theory they have a simple definition easy to understand but in practice some may feel confined and to me this album
Is one tackling a genre that Beyonce herself has said made her feel excluded made her feel as if the history of black men and women in country music had been erased and she particularly had felt um awful in that cma’s performance that she did with the chicks all those years
Ago and the racism that rained down from the country music world and so she wanted to make a country album and the reports this morning are that this album was actually supposed to come out before Renaissance but then the pandemic came and Beyonce was like well the world
Needed to dance more so we’re going to do the Disco album first we’re going to do the country album second uh but listening to it its entirety like these are sometimes I will have an album come out and I just pop around because that’s how I experience music no one has time
To listen to every single album that comes out but this is an album like it is structured like an old country music radio hour and you get the transition intros from Willie Nelson Legend you get Dolly Parton Legend so they’re putting their stamp on it but it’s not just
Country like this is not just a good old fashion country album and I like that like I think it’s very cool and it shows the Artistry that Beyonce has and I’m sure some country people will absolutely hate it and that makes me love it even more you did not have the same
Experience because I didn’t I don’t care about any let me not say I don’t care about the people you’ve named while I can recognize um their impact on a certain segment of the listening uh public of of American music and the history of American music they don’t hit me like
That I don’t I could do without them I’m fine without them I don’t think I’ve ever listened to a Dolly Parton song Dolly Parton is great I’ve Dolly Parton songs aren’t for me and I’m not sure what I’m saying by not for me I’m not trying to um cage what Dolly Parton is
Or trying to stereotype who listen to Dolly Parton I’m saying me as an individual I don’t listen to Dolly Parton I didn’t listen to Willie Nelson I don’t listen to Willie Nelson I’m aware of Willie Nelson I know his importance I understand that I’ve got good friends of mine who rock with the
Dolly partons and the Willie Nelson of the world but do so doing an album with them in mind doesn’t hit me at all um now I will say that she has like oh this person is featured this person is featured these superstars in the realm of country are featured on the album I
Would have lik to have had them sing on the album it’s all just skits Willie gets one little line in there everything else is is a skit or a spoken spoken word I understand the importance of the album right and that’s why I’ll um rock with people who rock with the
Album I don’t I’ll never listen to it again um n of the songs maybe spaghetti like I I I enjoy church girls from Renaissance mhm I think I’ve listened to it maybe two times since Renaissance right like I’m just not out there hunting Down Beyonce songs or or listen trying to listen to
Beyonce songs every now and then she’ll have a song that get stuck in my head right now I woke up this morning singing for whatever reason in my head this ain’t txas we don’t fold like no but and I’m like get that out of your head stop
It like that that’ll happen it’s just not um the album is not for me it is and we we talked around this some with the the conversation around the WNBA earlier in the week it is if you you it feels like you can’t be critical of the album like hey I don’t
Like this album yeah without all of a sudden siding with people who don’t like blackness in country music and that’s that’s where I am with it so I don’t want to say anything disparaging about the the album because I don’t want to give those types of people who are
Making bad faith arguments about the album and about the artist I don’t want to give them like Ah that’s a black that agrees with cuz you know that’s what I am to them I’m a black that agrees not a black man not a black person not a Black
Producer I’m just a black and I don’t want to give them that type of ammo there are songs where it’s like oh I hear it and I think of a person in mind it’s like oh that person is going to love this if they ever hear it the uh
When I heard the Miley Cyrus feature like oh Jessica and our friend Kieran they’re going to lose their [ __ ] when they hear this the pro protector is that the name of this the song yep if my mama catches wind of this that it’ll be all she plays and I think that’s a beautiful
Song about a mother’s love for a child like hey you’re going to grow up you’re G to do great things you’re GNA be big you’re GNA be beautiful super talented I’m always going to be here to protect you cuz you’re always going to be my baby well no matter how old you are
You’re always mama’s baby and mama’s always going to be here to protect you I thought the sentiments there were good there are some songs like you you’ve mentioned that make you want to get up and and wiggle a little bit uh for me it’s spaghetti and that’s it but there
Are other songs and it’s like oh this friend I have or like this or this my cousin and his husband will like this song in particular so I can get why I have enough people around me to understand like H these songs are going
To matter to them in a way that a lot of music doesn’t right now mhm just doesn’t hit me in the the same sort of way and I think the other one I thought you might like is Tyrant I forgot about Tyrant Ty why did you think I like Tyrant because it’s a
Sexy song that’s why that’s why she goes like three after uh Levi’s jeans the one she does with post Malone which I actually enjoyed more than I thought I’m not a massive post Malone fan but I heard that and I said put that out as a
Single and make that one of the s songs of the summer Levi is good um I did love the Miley Cyrus collab of course with Most Wanted I mean you say of course but like art art our ears like the our taste buds like our sense of smell sense of sight
Like all of that is different for everybody else that just because it doesn’t hit my eard drums in the same way as it hits yours doesn’t mean it’s a bad thing doesn’t mean it’s a good thing it just means it’s a thing that it’s okay to acknowledge I’m not making fun
Of you for liking that song I heard it and immediately smile on my face cuz like oh if Jessica hasn’t heard this yet when she hears it she’s going to be in a good I’ll be a Shotgun Rider till the day I die I will listen to that song
Over and over that is one between y yeah Most Wanted um and then the two covers are the ones that I have listened to the most I did listen to spaghetti and Tyrant twice as well those were the ones that stood out immediately um but as for
The covers she goes into Blackbird is the second song coming out of American ream which I actually think is a beautiful way for this album to start and from a storytelling perspective and just like it’s almost like a piece of Cinema within a song it feels like I am
Seeing no wow that sounds super nerdy but it feels like I’m seeing notes and like the vision that she had going into the entirety of this album but then the Simplicity of Blackbird coming out of that which is a song by The Beatles and she got the permission from Paul
McCartney to do a cover the Beatles have been notoriously like very sticky on who gets to do covers of those songs uh it’s a beautiful version of Blackbird it’s a song that I adore it’s one of my favorite Beetle songs of of all time did I shed small baby little tear this
Morning maybe will not confirm nor deny but I really enjoyed that cover and then I love the Jolene cover I’ve seen up and down responses because she definitely took her own piece of it and that’s where I didn’t need Dolly to be on it more than the intro which is very fun
Like hey is Dolly P talking to miss honeybee love the dolly Vibe giving you the understanding that joelene is about to oh my God a bur bird get the camera that was a black bird where is it oh no it it has to be on the
Ground no there it is it’s flying it’s flying oh my God it’s flying oh my God we were not [ __ ] we were not just talking about black bird and then a black bird flew into the window it’s Beyonce Beyonce sent the spirits here that was insane whoa we have never those
Windows must be too clean whoa did we get that jayen that was did we get the bird into the window that was in did you guys hear the bird hit the window Jaylen I’m talking to you sir cuz I I need to know oh my God the people who have all
The conspiracy theories about Beyonce are going to be up in arms over was a bird hitting the window take take these broken wings and Learn to Fly baby C that oh my life like no that was as we’re talking about the song black only waiting for this moment
To arrive black bird hit the window black bird fly you we were talking about black bird back on topic we were talking we were talking well we didn’t good point Jaylen um never left topic I I have I’ve never heard that song crazy to me you know what else is crazy I’m
Going to give you one crazier are you sitting down I’m sitting down now never heard Jolene I know of Jolene really never heard Jolene that’s fascinating so my my my large to my larger Point yeah if those are like tributes you’re paying if those are the types of things or the type if
That’s the type of Industry you’re trying to like I don’t want to say get into but sort of give the middle think Gary per is talking about give the middle finger because of how they made you feel how Outsider is they made you feel fine if what you want to do great
Um but I’m not familiar with that particular part of the music industry enough for it to hit me in any sort of real way she did take a shot at the gramys yes that was in um sweet honey bucking yeah she says aot t y I ain’t
Win take that [ __ ] on the chin come back and F up the pen say the things that I know will offend wear that [ __ ] that I know start a new trend so that’s the assumed straight at the Grammys for never giving her album of the year um
With Jolene Have you listened to the original Jolene now or still no so the biggest difference is like Dolly’s Jolene is a beg and a plea and Beyonce’s Jolene it’s like a warning like don’t do this like um I love where she says I had to have this talk with you because I’d
Hate to have to act the fool your peace depends on how you move Jolene like I didn’t realize that there were lyrical changes in Jolene until all of a sudden I heard act the fool and I was like oh that’s not Dolly that’s Beyonce and it’s essentially like I am warning you Jolene
Don’t mess with my man and I I love that Twist on it sort of Ring the Alarm type BX I got you yes and um no I thought it was cool we did get a seaword country line at one part I don’t remember what song it was in but now you can go
Scavenger hunt your way it might have been in spaghetti it might have been in the rap part in spaghetti um what she been in the C in country know she just calls it seword country many people wanted the album to be called like not many people but the running joke of
Internet called was like What if she just called it like country and spelled it CU and t r y for those of you who don’t know cuz I didn’t know this I did not know this that word the c word mhm is a word that in some in it’s so back a
Word in some communities means good all of a sudden it is like you she serving you serve C I listen to I’m not brave enough to say it myself don’t worry bosses at Grand City media but like some of the pop [Laughter] I guess that’s why it’s back in that
Community what Jaylen shut up and watch watch what oh oh where is it oh is it coming she’s talking I can’t just let her talk live instant replay slow this is a radio thing this audio you do that with your hands a lot by the way the yes
When you make it oh my God take it back take it back take it back back wait here she is talking if you’re listening to this you’re doing yourself a disservice you got to watch go back go back again jayen she’s making a point and she screams blackbird singing on the JB show
Look at her look at her look at her she’s talking and oh my I heard the thud I heard the th we can read your lips so very clearly my God a bird and that’s it a bird all right what were we talking about s k i was trying to make a
Song blackbird singing on the JB show then he went and crashed into our window down he fell hey jayen uh no never mind you can’t do that then he got back up again and isn’t that just SW take us to the outside camera jayen I want to make sure there’s not bir’s
Flying around there’s not a de bird I don’t want to see I don’t want to see if there’s a dead bird on the ground that’s a bad Omen and it’s a Friday it’s good Friday we’re going into a beautiful weekend the weather’s supposed to be St dead birds are bad Omens oh whatever
Birds die like everything else Dead Birds Bad Omen Birds die like everything else in Christianity okay on the weekend of Easter a dead bird is often seen as a negative Omen and a warning of impending disaster it is associated with bad luck and can indicate the need for caution in
Decision-making I need to know if I can be Reckless listening to the Beyonce album this weekend or if I need to be cautious listening if I can be Reckless I’m going to listen to Yaya I’m going to listen to um uh I can’t think of the
Names of the songs had off the top of my head Most Wanted I’m going to listen to Tyrant Tyrant I’m going to listen to Sweet Honey Bucket I’m going to listen to Spaghetti but if I am cautious I’m going to listen to the Opera and daughter over and over and over again
I’ll listen to 16 carriages again I’ll listen to protector there was definitely like a lullaby feel I agree with um like songs for her children yeah that’s that’s what I got with a couple of them um I think that the D the the disaster can’t talk I think that the disaster has
Already hit the GCM Studios and it’s you in that overall suit looking like a damn fourth grader like you f to go to the 4 Club the 4 club club like you we can’t see you behind the desk you got to come to the front of the desk or stand up on the
Desk like you’re going to go slide down the slide going to go play on the swing jump a little Double Dutch although I’m not sure if your people jump Double Dutch do y’all Double Dutch yes yeah okay H yeah we jump rope for heart yeah oh Jump Rope for Heart never forget Jump
Rope for Heart everybody did Jump Rope for Heart guess what these are they’re Levis in honor of okay post Malone post Malone and Beyonce okay I was curious though what what this hole is for now that we’re really talking about we’re talking about holes here we go you
You’re what is this for there’s no there’s no button Jessica you rent the most randomly um put together a tire there’s no but like does this go through here like can we oh is that what is for I don’t think it doesn’t fit it doesn’t okay no and now I’m stuck with one

Prosperous life and I hope everyone has a nice Easter weekend listening to nothing but Beyonce people in the chat and by people on me miles shout out miles we love you are saying best Beyonce album ever ever that makes me excited I don’t like to dub things best
Ever the first Ah hell you did you said sweet 16 was the best beyon song ever yeah I know and I’ve regretted it ever since because you bring it up and won’t let me forget which is fair because I said it with one time no you brought it
Up a couple weeks ago it was ridiculous and every time I listen to it I’m like and now I found myself second guessing but I will say that like miles I did have I had the thought just in terms of album of the Year especially from and the Grammys don’t mean anything really
But for Beyonce it it is embedded into how we talk about her because she has been snubbed from album of the year over the entirety of her career and has been made a thing from the original Kanye Taylor West moment of it all to Jay-Z even speaking um at the Grammys this
Year and noting it and so when I listen to a new Beyonce album I think does this have the opportunity to be the one that gets her album of the year and I think from an Artistry standpoint an album construction standpoint and the substance within the album
Itself I really like it that’s I’ll leave it at that like it doesn’t have to be the best it doesn’t have to be and and it could evolve into being considered one of her best of all time but for now I was so excited to listen
To this album and I loved listening to it all the way through so I will continue to do that this weekend I will watch a ton of basketball I hope you do the same it is a Grizzlies weekend as well they play the magic tomorrow night
In Orlando so be sure to check that game out we’ll be back on Monday to wrap up everything will we get the Kimi article this weekend I don’t know but we get some sweet women’s basketball games along the way as well we’ll see everybody Monday have a wonderful
Weekend bye I can’t believe A bird hit a window on our show that is wild that’s how bad the show is it’s like stop
