Long intro this week. Right? We're gonna get to it, though. What's happening? What's happening, everybody? How y' all doing? How y' all doing? Welcome to another episode of Mandatory Overtime. I'm your main man, DJ High Star. The aim here, Mandatory Overtime, of course, is to recalibrate our definition of manhood in our community. That's with one conversation at a Time, the community that consists of you all. So first and foremost, it's an audio Journal of an 80s Baby. Simple, simply a so a social experiment, inconsistency. You could have been anywhere in the world, but you're here listening to me. And for that, I appreciate you, first and foremost. Don't get this confused with the manosphere. It's just a place where the man is fair. So pick up. Pull up a chair or pick up a chair. Make some noise. Engage. Like comment, subscribe, share, engage again. But make some noise because your man is here. My bad. Of course. I got a Russian sound engineer In a check 1, 2. A check 1, 2. Recording live from Charlotte, America. Shout out 704 in the building. Sound like I got an exclusive freestyle at the beginning of the episode. I know that took a while. It's a little cringey at times. It took a while. But shout out to Sean Carter for blessing me with that audio clip. [00:10:05] Speaker A: It's like, yo, I'll do something exclusive for the podcast. [00:10:10] Speaker B: All right, whatever, man. But yeah, salute to they call him Ho Thugs in Harmony. Jay Z at the Roots Picnic. His freestyle was all the talk this past week and everything. So I definitely had to record first and foremost before the NBA Finals start this year to record as well, before that gets kind of stale in the news cycle, you know, it's already after that first night or two this weekend. This past weekend with the Roots Picnic, it was already all over the place, so I put my little creative twist on it, I guess. Who else? Who else but your boy, you heard? Anywho, what's happening, man? What's going on? Let's. Let's go through some revisions real quick from last week. I did have to go over thank you for everybody that tuned in last week. Shout out to everyone that rocks with Rap City in the Basement, right? We had that segment where we was playing a lot of those freestyles, so I did want to make a quick revision. I said Cormega last week. I didn't even play too much of the freestyle, but it was actually Capone. It was Capone from Capone that was [00:11:28] Speaker A: freestyling at the time. [00:11:29] Speaker B: So I did want to correct that listening back and heard that. So didn't want to discuss that. But listen, y', all, I drugged the intro for long enough getting the show started. So you already know what time. [00:11:46] Speaker C: What's today's mathematics? [00:11:47] Speaker B: Yo, no disrespect, but we ain't in all of that, son. [00:11:49] Speaker F: Build, destroy the builders to elevate the mentalities of self and those around self to add positive energy to every nation. To build, you must first start from the root, which is the knowledge foundation. And I don't want to. The highest peak. To destroy is to eliminate and destroy any and all negativity that enters my cipher of supreme harmony. [00:12:09] Speaker B: Peace, God. [00:12:10] Speaker F: Peace, God. [00:12:11] Speaker B: Come on, son. [00:12:14] Speaker D: Do the knowledge. [00:12:15] Speaker B: No. You gonna dig this. All right, so got some. Got some wisdom from brother Bling. Shout out to and brotherly love to my frat brother Blaine. What's happening LS 2000. Turn this up real quick. [00:12:33] Speaker A: Turn my mic up. Turn me down, guru. [00:12:37] Speaker B: All right, listen, this one. I remember the Panthers using this one a few years. Well, about 10 years ago, whenever they was, you know, Cam Newton and stuff was here. But don't belong where you don't belong. And salute. That was good play on words, but also Right. So don't overstay your welcome where you don't. I mean, we're not welcome. Don't belong where you don't belong. That's tough. All right. It only takes a few seconds to hurt someone, but sometimes it takes years to repair the. Repair the damage. Cherish the hearts that love you. It's tough. [00:13:20] Speaker A: Nice. [00:13:21] Speaker B: All right. We had a couple. Some Bible verses from my life. Yeah, that was from Taz. Brother Taz has said that. That last one. This also is from Taz. Until it's my turn, I will keep clapping for others. It's really that simple. I concur, brother. I agree. A bird sitting on a tree is never afraid of the branch breaking because its trust is not on the branch, but on its own wings. Come on, man. Church. All right, let's see here. Cousin Jerome. Shout out to cousin Jerome. Brotherly love to cousin Jerome. Supposed to be making a trip up there to the DMV area this weekend because. All right, so he says, or he sends over some. Some wisdom this week. First One is from T.S. eliot. It says, only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go. It's tough. All right, the next is from Mary Lou Retton. Says optimism is a happiness magnet. If you stay positive, good things and good people will be drawn to you. Tough. Very profound. All right. And then ultimately, we got this one from Angela Davis. When children attend schools that place a greater value on discipline and security than on knowledge and intellectual development, they are attending prep schools for prison. Ain't that the truth, Baby Ruth? All right, so salute and brotherly love to my cousin, because Jerome, also to Blaine and Natasha for contributing to our weekly building wisdom segment now.

But first and foremost, if y' all heard the intro, shout out and salute to Rob Bass. Rest in peace to the brother Rob Bass. A lot of people say, A lot of people say that they. A lot of people say that they haven't seen Rob Bass and Stephen A. Smith in the same room at the same time. And this might not be the right time to be saying this because we are showing love and respect, but salute. Salute to Rob Bass, Hip hop pioneer, to say the least. And let's see here. And rest in peace. Yeah, also rest in peace to Frankie Beverly. I don't think that essence, Essence Festival. All right. Show enough love. We still have not saluted and commemorated the ancestor Frankie Beverly, like we should. All right, I got this one random thought this week is to get it off your chest. Haven't done one in a while. This is not directed, trust me. This was a random conversation I was having with fat boy. So this isn't directed specifically at Reb, right? Because she is, she's the one that be in my, in my vehicle most of the time. But this is men and women. I, I'm not a fan of getting out of the vehicle slow. If you, if you, if you, if you're with me and we end up pulling up somewhere, whatnot. Never really been a fan of us being in the car just like looking at each other or, you know, putting on, you know, fragrances or, you know, I don't know, fixing your shirt and getting your chain right or getting a little bit last to eat. This is, and this is unisex again, this is unisex. This is not directed at no particular person. It's just when I get somewhere, I'll be ready to jump out the whip. All right, let's get it. Let's go. You know, and yeah, just to get it off my chest for this week. Completely random. It has not happened recently for me or anything like that. It's completely random. But yeah, I just had to compartmentalize that. Get that off my chest, y'. [00:18:46] Speaker G: All. [00:18:47] Speaker B: So if y' all have any. Get it off your chests, feel free. Feel free to again, email the show mandatory ot704gmail.com or give us a call. 704-781-7011. What I may do is if we get enough. Get it off your chest on the hotline. I'll just play that as a segment. The. The audio, you know, the audio clips of people getting stuff off of their chest. You know, let's, let's. Let's bring back. Get it off your chest. Let's bring back. Let's bring it back. So I guess what is going on out there in the land? Yeah, what, What? What's going on? What's going on in the land? I don't know. Hold on. I don't know. Let's see here. See if I got anything for us here. [00:19:46] Speaker C: They're at death door. They are on their last legs. [00:19:51] Speaker B: It's Chris Broussard. [00:19:53] Speaker C: They are sinking fast. Oh, my goodness. Yeah, they're in trouble. [00:19:59] Speaker B: Braxton, Hartner, Briggs, little brother as Lou Will and Chandler Parsons. The Knicks in a struggle. Seven games. Mike Brain announcing the 140 to 89 freeze. I think the next or a slight favorite I'm like is Ky Cod. I think it's a coin flip. He's talking about the six. [00:20:24] Speaker D: Great chance to go back to the conference final. [00:20:26] Speaker B: So you are on the record doubly that you believe the Sixers will win the series? Yep. Play offs. And I think if they get the Knicks, they advance in the playoff. Talking about the Sixers victory against the Celtics in the first round. They lose four straight win against the Sixers. I, you know, I, I'm old. Stick with my pick of Cleveland to win the series. Cleveland has been. I think they have the most upside of any team in the eastern conference. [00:20:53] Speaker D: I picked the Cavs and Nick knows I bet on the Cavs to win [00:20:57] Speaker C: the east on the road. [00:21:01] Speaker D: They're going to fall down.03. [00:21:05] Speaker B: So. Yeah, I just wanted to. Wanted to play that real quick, y'. All. Just as a reminder that the Finals do start this evening. Okay. Win, lose or draw, I want to say that first and foremost, I'm super proud of my team. [00:21:25] Speaker A: Okay? [00:21:27] Speaker B: We've met the moment, we've achieved, and we're still looking to overachieve past the moment. Business as usual this evening. Looking to play the San Antonio Spurs. Match up very well, but I feel very good about this, this Finals this year. So salute to the New York Knicks. Proving all the doubt is wrong thus far. Now, you still got, you know, people out there that's still talking stuff like that saying, Jalen Brunson's undersized. He had a lot of Draymond Green stuff going on recently with him and his regular hate of. Of the Knicks and stuff like that, but good. It's all good. We are. We're gonna. We're gonna do what we gotta do. I think the last. Oh, hold on now. It's only one. I mean, how many times do you get the Knicks in the finals, right? So here we go. Let's see. Did I play this last week? Jalen Brunson. It is not going to be the [00:22:31] Speaker A: type of player that elevates them into contender stat. Do we think Brunson is a guy [00:22:36] Speaker D: that is going to bring them to [00:22:38] Speaker B: a second Mad Dog series? [00:22:39] Speaker D: He's not. [00:22:40] Speaker B: Is Jalen Brunson one of the ten best? Did I play this last week? We'll play it again. I don't think he's top 10. [00:22:49] Speaker G: I mean, he might not be top 14. [00:22:51] Speaker D: He's not a one. I'm not even sure he's a real two. [00:22:54] Speaker B: I worry that they're gonna. They're gonna look at Jalen Brunson and they're like, wait, we spent $27 million a year on this? All right, so shout out to the Brunson burner. I'm not gonna call him. I. I think I agree with, like, Cam and all of them. I'm not gonna. Big butter. I think I. I retired the Kendrick Perkins nickname on that one. So salute again to the Knicks and. And we'll see what happens with the finals. I will say a couple of things, though, y'. [00:23:32] Speaker D: All. [00:23:33] Speaker B: All right, let's point out a couple of things. We have Jeremy Sohan, which doesn't mean a lot to a lot of people, but he was a high draft pick. But also, he played majority of his time with the Spurs, San Antonio favorite or whatnot. He's played a lot of time in that arena. Take that for what it's worth. Mike Brown, he's been on the staff for San Antonio. All right, Take that for what it's worth. All right? Championship organization. He's been a part of Golden State championship organization, been as part of Cleveland around the time LeBron was there. So let's just take that for what it's worth. Mike Brown is also coach Sacramento when the point guard was who? De' Aaron Fox, who's over there at Sacramento right now. Let's take that into account, all right. When we talk about the bigs, talk about Victor, when Benyama and back when Kobe was playing, they used to have humor, humorously, to some degree. They called Reuben Patterson the Kobe stopper. Then they started to call Tony Allen the Kobe stopper. I don't know if There was many LeBron Stoppers out there like that, like particular defenders that could guard that, you know, archetype could guard these. These athletes. But if we had anything close to a Wimby stopper, Ogn and Obi's athleticism definitely matches up well. You see what Caruso is trying to do, and we'll see how that translate if OGN and Obi ends up guarding him. But I'm not afraid for him or Mitchell Robinson to guard him. You know, of course, people talk about Cat with his foul trouble and stuff like that. That we'll see what happens. We'll see what happens as they match up. But it's definitely going to be a very good matchup. Vassal Vesel Rather, Castle, de' Aaron Fox, of course, and Dylan Harper. These guys. These guys is off the chain. But then you also got, I believe the sixth man of the year was. Was Kelden. So that's a whole nother facet of. Of their depth. Pause. Let me see here. But you know, that's what the finals is. It's supposed to be challenging. It's supposed to be challenging. So we good to go. But lastly, you did want to bring this up also. It was in March of. Let's see here, March 29, 2024. Jalen Brunson scores 61 points, his career high. It was in San Antonio, and it was in a loss. All right, and what happened at the end of that game, Wimby throws the game ball into the crowd. So I'm just bringing these things up. We have plenty of ammunition, if you will, or reason to, to be firing, and all on all cylinders. So y' all just, just don't be surprised. It's business as usual over here. But I'm just telling everybody else, don't be surprised. And also remember my, my finals MVP pick of Carl Anthony Towns but primarily praying for all the athletes health that everybody stays healthy and there's no serious injuries. That happens. And there's good competition and good play that goes on at the end of the day. See here, I wanted to go ahead real quick and cut to cut to this advertiser, this sponsor, man. It's my man, Bernard Hardison. I'm a fan. If y' all don't know Bernard Hardison. He does the baptize the chicken down there in South Carolina. We gonna baptize this chicken and deep frying a bunch of chicken wings and stuff. But I gotta say this to us, y'. All, come on, y', all, come on. Come on. We got some moments in the community where we just gonna have to call it out. All right, I'm gonna play this. We gonna call him a sponsor this week. This is. This is Bernard Hardison, y'. All. I don't know if he's. I guess his target audience is the black community. I want y' all to hear this real quick. Let's see here. [00:28:07] Speaker G: Get. All right there.

We get a smoky back here. Fries keep the flies away. Keep that natural french fries. Look at that right there. [00:28:46] Speaker B: And then let's. Let me explain to y' all how. With that macaroni, okay? [00:28:51] Speaker G: You want the cheesiest part, okay, of the macaroni, that macaroni serve as our cheese. [00:28:56] Speaker B: Look at that.

[00:30:02] Speaker B: Somebody in the comments said, def. Got to burn one to get all that down. [00:30:06] Speaker G: Like I said, I made these extra big and thick, so you'll be able to stick your scrap, you know, in the future. I kind of build around it. We're gonna go to the top and add some more cornbread to that stuff. [00:30:19] Speaker B: Oh, my gosh. I guess this is the out for lunch segment this week, y'. All.

[00:30:55] Speaker G: Matter of fact, we're gonna demonstrate. We're going. Stick that squirrel around through the middle right there. [00:30:58] Speaker B: Hey, you don't fall in the left, champ. [00:31:00] Speaker G: Look at that right there. Now you can sip and you can eat. [00:31:04] Speaker B: Yo, yo, yo, yo. Is this agent? [00:31:10] Speaker A: What? [00:31:15] Speaker B: Bernard? What the. Yo? Now, you could see it, and you could eat. Come on, y'. All. Is he an agent? Because that can't be legal what he's doing. Now I remember. See, Bernard, he kind of got on my algorithm by barbecuing exotic. Mad exotic bare legs, you know what I'm saying? Ostrich eggs or whatever, like he was doing. We're real weird barbecue. And I. I seen that he was from South Carolina. I'm like, all right, it's a brother from South Carolina doing it, man. But, bro, I don't know. Because then the homie that you cool with, the Texas dude that does the oxtails. Everybody brings up how we don't know no softball oxtails and no cows that big or whatnot. That's. That's producing huge oxtails that he be cooking. So where y' all getting y'. [00:32:21] Speaker A: All. [00:32:23] Speaker B: Where y' all getting y' all directives from, man? What the going on? I didn't. I might have to do an expose. I thought that that was genuinely gonna be like, something to kinda us to chuckle at and stuff, but. Yo, bro, you trying to kill niggas one Kool Aid cup, soul food, French fry at a time, brother. What's wrong with you, man? Ah, I gotta. I gotta take him off the sponsor list, yo. So the. The other thing I wanted to bring up this week, though, I don't know if y' all seen it. I just wanted to get y' all thoughts. My brothers and my sisters out there that do pay attention to Gill's arena, but Gilbert Arenas, it looked like. So I. I guess he sold his. His likes. His likeness or his name and. And things like that. Not the volume, but one of these big media conglomerates and media companies. Y' all help me out out there. It might be Bleacher Report or something, but y' all help me out out there. What's barstool? It might be barstool, maybe. I. I don't know, but y' all help me. I. I honestly don't know that. However, they purchased, like, half the show. So the first sign to fans when they first did the transaction was they changed the name of the show from Gill's arena to the arena, and people started noticing that change. And then the people that Gil had on there were a couple of athletes that they, you know, that they got rid of that, and it just changed the face of the show, in other words. So recently, they've replaced Gil with Skip Bayless. From what I understand Rocky saying, you're out there playing little games with the poker games, and they playing them real games with you, brother. You know what I'm saying? Okay, pardon the left, but what I'm saying is Gilbert was out here, you know, trying to lure in fish and all of that stuff on these poker games and. And doing all of that. And listen, they pulled a fast one on you with this whole Gilbert Arenas thing. Gave you a big bag up front, but then got all the likeness and your name and all of that stuff on the back end and the creative control pretty much of the show. So that was. It's wild. It's wild. So, yeah, I'd love to hear y' all thoughts on the Gilbert Arenas situation that's going on also. Again, because I'm not gambling on my team or anything like that. I will do gentlemen bets as far as, like, you know, taking pictures and other jerseys and things like that, but money wise, I'm not gambling on a team or whatnot, but. Go Nicks, definitely. Oh, my. What's going on with the. With the whatchamacallit. Whatchamacallit. Let's see what we got. All right. But, yeah, definitely go Nicks. You know what I'm saying? I'm hoping that. Hoping that everybody stays healthy and that we just give maximum. Maximum effort out there on the basketball floor is what y'. All. You know, this is what you do it for. Yo, go, New York. Okay. We still gonna hold out on the song until it's time, but, yeah, y', all, I can't. I can't. I can't keep. In the excitement that I have for the finals starting this evening and my team being one of the two teams left, I was able to. Able to say that, you know, popping it. You know, I got jerseys, too. Got jerseys for days. So we will be watching that this evening. Let's see here. Wanted to move forward. I wanted to do. I guess we'll do some. And do some classicalized. Almost thinking doing some classical high star bars, but also wanted to. With Jay Z's freestyle that he had or whatever like that. Wanted to play a couple other exclusive freestyles that Jay Z's done where it seems like he's just responding to people and everything like that. So we'll get a little bit of that going on as well and everything. All right, so let's see here. One second. All right, so we're gonna do Grammy fam. Grammy family freestyle. Freestyle first. [00:37:05] Speaker A: I might. I might carry. [00:37:07] Speaker B: I'm gonna probably karaoke. [00:37:15] Speaker D: Stop. [00:37:17] Speaker B: It's always unorthodox. [00:37:23] Speaker D: So I got the 76th floor. The joint, like 76 floors. You could call whatever. Shots at my body up. I'm tired. Build me up, break me down, build me up again Like Hovie need you back. Ho got blow, though. He's no big impact, but he's close. I'm posting when they got me fighting [00:37:50] Speaker B: ghost, let me go and fighting Ghost, [00:37:59] Speaker D: That's only half. [00:38:00] Speaker B: If they like you, they ain't even a half. What they might do. Don't believe me? Ask Michael. [00:38:06] Speaker D: See Martin, see Malcolm, you see Biggie, [00:38:08] Speaker B: see Pac success in his outcome. [00:38:11] Speaker D: See Jesus, see Judas, see Caesar, see Brutus, see success is like suicide. [00:38:16] Speaker B: Suicide is a suicide. [00:38:18] Speaker D: If you succeed, prepare to be crucified. Media medals, they can sue you. You settle every step you take. [00:38:24] Speaker B: They remind you ghetto. So it's tough being Bobby Brown to be Bobby then. You gotta be Bobby now. [00:38:30] Speaker D: And the question is, is you have had lost better than not having it. [00:38:36] Speaker B: See, now. Let's pause this real quick. There's this thing that MCs do. I don't want to give Jay Z credit for it, but they don't finish the end of the line. But you already know what that word is or what the line is and stuff. And it started becoming more and more popular the last 15, 20 years. I don't want to give Jay Z the credit for that, but you know, around this little unorthodox, like with really Kingdom come and everything. After Kingdom come, when he was coming out freestyling and stuff like that, people wasn't understanding kind of the talk he was talking or the people, the names he was dropping and stuff like that. People thought that he was fumbling on his freestyles and that he was like messing up and looking. In hindsight, a lot of that was. Was what I just explained. Like just hey, you. You understand what I'm about to say? And I just can't even finish the end of the. You know, man. You know, just like the Roots picnic freestyle with the. The Nicki Minaj, you know, enough of them or, you know, and stuff like that. But yeah, let's go back into y'. [00:39:44] Speaker C: All. [00:39:46] Speaker D: Yeah.
