That's the one thing about like that, before rap, before rapper got all gangster and stuff, OGs would be singing. I mean, more than the women sing. What's happening, y'? All. What's happening, though? Welcome to another episode of Mandatory ot. Mandatory overtime. I'm your main man, DJ high star in the place to be aim here. Mandatory overtime is of course, for us to redefine and recalibrate our definition of manhood in our society. You know, that's what each conversation with our community. The community, of course, consists of you all. You know what I'm talking about. It's simply an audio journal of an 80s, baby. As you can tell by the intro, a social experiment and consistency could have been anywhere in the world. But you're here listening to me. For that, I appreciate you. All right. Don't confuse this with the manosphere. It's just a place where the man is fair. So pull up a chair like comment, subscribe, share, engage. Make some noise though, because your main man is here. You heard live from the 704 Charlotte. America was happening. We in here, we in here. Also got a Russian sound engineer over there. In a check one, too. A check. One, two. So this thing started. Let's go to work. Yeah, man, I start this off and feeling in a good mood, so want to smile a little bit. Fresh off of vacay and the first vacay of the year. Needed that. Very much needed. We're gonna get to that, though. Y' all definitely gonna get today to make a couple of revisions from last week's show as well. So before we do that, though, the intro on the intro, that audio clip that y' all heard, that's brother Quanelle X. And I believe her name is Candace Matthews. Yeah, out of Texas, Quanelle X. He's popped up on my timeline and algorithm in the past where he's kind of served up right wing white liberals and white conservatives rather, and in like the debate forums or the debate formats. But they were confronting a White attorney at a courthouse this days after the white attorney is called, like, a black woman or a black attorney, the N word several times and stuff like that. So they've kind of gone viral for confronting this dude in the courthouse before he went into the courtroom. But, yeah, man, brotherly love and sisterly love. Salute. Salute. I mean, so shout out, Shout out now. Also wanted to quick revision from last week. My brother Trap Dicky, that I alluded to and talked about. The rapper Trap Dicky. It's actually from Hartsville, South Carolina. All right. I said Page Lynn a couple times on different episodes. I think that I got that from. He's like, with the. He was with the baby shooting a music video, and I believe they were in Pageland at the time when they were shooting a music video and just took that and ran with it. But Hartsville rapper Trap Dickey, but salute to him, still representing South CAC very well tde, you know, all of that stuff going on for him right now, all the motion that he got going on, all of the singles. Like, he got a Kevin Gates song. I think he got a song with Key Glock. He got a bunch of. Bunch of fire that's out right now, catching a wave. So salute to Trap Dicky with all of that. So we want to move forward, move right into it, I guess. Let's get right into some wisdom for the week or whatnot. Is that Prince? Come here, Prince. What's today's mathematics, yo? [00:09:38] Speaker B: No disrespect, but we ain't in all of that, son. [00:09:40] Speaker D: 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. [00:10:00] Speaker A: Peace, God. [00:10:02] Speaker D: Peace, God. [00:10:03] Speaker A: Come on, do the knowledge, nigga. [00:10:05] Speaker B: I know you gonna dig this. [00:10:08] Speaker A: All right, so let's go through a couple of things that I received from Cousin Jerome. Like I said, I was on vacation or recap that in a second, but wanted to go over a couple things from Cousin Jerome. He sent in on Monday. Motivation. No act of kindness. Excuse me. No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted. All right? It's profound. And then he sent one today. Music happens to be an art form that transcends language. That's why Herbie Hancock, I truly believe that. I also personally believe that it transcends time. And in a lot of different ways as well. Let me see here. That was the Stevie Wonder joint. Okay, I wanted to share this one from Reb. So I was like out at sea this past weekend and on a cruise. And while out on the cruise, Reb did say something very profound and I wanted to give her credit. But it's along the lines of that, that we know what, you know, time and age is. But she said, you know, that's how you know that time is a made up construct because the ocean or the water has no sense of time. I love that in its totality. Of course, I may have limited it by saying the ocean, she said the water. But I think about great, great bodies of water and great bodies of like the oceans or the seas of the world, Gracies of the world. And those things again, for the most part have remained unchanged or un. Just. Just not. They have not changed over the years and stuff like that, which could be a frightening thing. But also it's. It's just something to just think about. It's very, you know, very introspective thing to think about. I suppose that, you know, you think about all of the developments and stuff like that that happen on land and the people that come and go as far as life and everything like that, and the different errors that we live through in life. And you look at some large, large bodies of water like oceans and seas, and they were for them to remain unchanged for the most part. And the same water that you're looking at at one point, you know, you think 100 years or hundreds of years back is probably look the same. If you will excuse me. So that was some dope wisdom that Reb and dropped on the crew. Shout out to Reb. Let's see here. As far as other. Give me one second. All right. And then we have here a couple funnies and a couple of short joints from for the Bruh. Taz, big bro, you have life is short smile while you still have teeth. If it's important to you, you'll find a way. If it's not, you'll find an excuse. Love that. Then you know, we talked about the mind being water a couple weeks ago. So salute to Taz with that brotherly love to Taz as well. If y' all have any kind of wisdom that y' all want to submit and have us read weekly, make sure that y' all send it in. Mandatoryot704gmail.com Mandatoryot704gmail.com or feel free to call our hotline 704-781-7011. And we'll make sure that we get it read. Pardon me. All right, so let's move right along here. I wanted to get into a couple things. First, recapping vacation. All right, So I kind of kept it very ambiguous before I went on vacation and just left it at a vacation because nowadays it seems like you have people that. On vacations for whatever reason. Part of me. Yeah, people that vacations for whatever reason or, you know, the type of vacations you go on every time that. Yeah, I don't know if y' all experience that as well, but whenever you bring up something to somebody, they'll extract and pull out the worst case scenario and present that to you as if that's supposed to calm some kind of anxiety or steer you to do something else, like, other than this thing that you've been planning for months and months. So anywho had a cruise plan and booked or whatnot. And of course, a week or two leading up to the cruise, what comes out, all this news and stuff about hantavirus and, and everything in the. To me, the details was very. The, the details were out there, but the narrative that was being painted was very kind of ambiguous, a little reckless. So from my understanding, the, the expedition, in other words, or the cruise that was going on off the coast of Africa had several different, you know, people whatnot. But it was. It's just. It was different from like a cruise, if you will, like that you think in your mind of. And yeah, it just had some. Some different circumstances. I think it was a very limited amount of people that was on there, stuff like that. So nevertheless, the. How the propaganda went out, it was kind of weird because cruising is a big industry, a huge industry. So to put out any kind of press or PR that would, that would damage, you know, the image of the cruise industry. I, I was surprised to see it come out, you know, as it did. But nevertheless, which line? That's the next. That's normally the question that you get from people when you tell them that you're going on a cruise. Okay, what cruise line are you going on or which, you know, company are you cruising with or whatnot? And when you say, nah, that ain't that, ain't that, y'. All. I just. I was eating almonds before I started. Okay, that's not that. I'm just trying to. All right, but anyways, when you say Carnival, that's when everybody got they stuff that they got to say now. Okay, first and foremost, a lot of people don't like Cruises or the thought of cruises, being trapped on a big ass boat in the middle of the ocean with a bunch of strangers and people, families and kids and stuff like that. I love the idea of the cruises. I love going on cruises and I wish that, you know, family and friends, I've, that I could have family and friends that haven't experienced cruises go on at least one and preferably I like to be with them whenever they go. But there's nothing like it. I, I absolutely enjoyed it or whatnot up until the last couple of days or whatnot. Okay, So Carnival, they definitely affordable. So salute to them for that. Had a drink package. So that was, that was cool. Thank you for that as well. Food, everything like that. But it's always, it's a consistent thing with Carnival where I'm last, the last day or two, the last day or two, you, you end up seeing why people start to uses as much as they do. All right. I'm just saying. So there's clubs, there's a club, nightclubs and the lounges on the cruise. And we went to the club both nights, I believe we went to the club or two nights out of the nights that we were on a cruise, we went to the club and a fight broke out. Which is the thing is it would be news. But it's, it's. I think out of four cruises that I've been on, I've seen three fights on Carnival cruises. Now mind you, that, that definitely contributes to people calling the cruise ghetto or whatnot and looking to stay away from Carnival cruises. If y' all recall, Carnival did ban the boots on the ground fans. So you can see the direction that they were trying to go. You know, they wanted it a little less, how do you put it? Like they wanted a little less on it, you know what I mean? And be able to kind of control the. That that they would have on it, like control activities a little bit. So definitely I'm not gonna put it on a black, black people, but there was weed smoking the air. So I, that could have been black, white, Hispanic, whoever, but the fighting, that was us. And, and it always. I'm trying to. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Two out of the three fights that I've seen on Carnivals cruises have been gay women. Y' all just gonna say so. Yeah, this, this one was definitely involving some, some gay women. And nevertheless though, back to my point, the first day or two of Carnival cruises is fine. They're perfect. They're great. All right? People have respect, decorum. They trying to learn each other. So Pardon me. Yeah. What floor are you going to? Oh, yeah, sure, I got you. Yeah, this is your first cruise, you know, and then when you get to that last day or two of the cruise, start getting disrespectful, yo. So I'm saying these get tired. They ready to get back home. They start thinking about all the money they've lost at the casino. They kids is being bad as hell and being restless or whatnot. They're ready to get back home. And so that's normally where you start to see the issues on those cruises. It's the last couple days now. All that being said, I'll take that. I'll take that. There's certain things like that I've abandoned as I've matured. You know, I tell people and they call me Bougie, hey, I don't eat McDonald's anymore, or, oh, man, I don't go to Burger King anymore. And different stuff like that or, you know, but one thing I'll do, I'll go on a Carnival cruise and I'll eat a guy's burger. You know what I mean? I'll get some. I'll go on a Carnival cruise, all right? Sue me. I don't care how it makes me look, but Carnival fly, baby. All right, you heard. I want to talk about, okay, the fashion on the cruise. A lot of matching sets this year. A lot of Matt. And I'm talking about guys, women too. Now. The matching sets, I was kind. I was doing the matching sets thing about two or three cruises ago. Hey, just put it out there now. Personally speaking, and IB I'll let y' all know this too, y'. All. Could y' all be able to tell from my photographs? But I took no fits off. Every fit. All right, no fits off. But nevertheless, I digress. So the matching sets, you've seen a lot of that. The LGBTQIA community. The last cruise that I went on in November, they were, I guess, like their uniform of choice was like very, very short shorts. I think I talked about it on here and whatever. But this time around, it was the Jamaican fishnet type of shirts, you know, the see through joints, the mesh net, all different types, you know, okay. From the crochet looking ones to the. To the. You know, so that. That seemed to be the uniform of choice for our LGBTQIA guys. Salute to. I seen met two bros out there and then also met a clap for night out there. So salute to all the peoples that I met out there on the cruise. Ari. Being myself, we had a couple challenges before we went on there, what song that we would hear first, she chose I Want to Dance with Somebody, Whitney Houston. And then I chose Macarena. She won that one. We had a challenge on seeing any upside down pineapples, then locating, like the per. Whoever saw it first. We take a shot. Didn't locate any of those. But then also she again, she said any matching sets or whatnot. Members of the LGBTQIA community in matching sets, which. Which made a huge difference. But she. She said that that would be her, like, kind of what I called it was bingo center. So the center card on the bingo board and then mine, center card on the bingo board was, I believe, a red or very. Like, like over tanned or sunburnt white woman, body positive, wearing her skin out, like. Like stomach out or something like that. Y' all know what I'm talking about. Y' all know what I'm talking about. I don't gotta. Come on. Y' all know what I'm talking about. And so that was that. I would like to say this. I don't know. I don't know if Ari B. Caught all of this, but I just gotta. I gotta bring this up, y'. All. If y' all have young boys, especially young kings that you're raising. Okay, all right. If you got young kings that you're raising and. And you're going on a cruise, you're thinking about, you know, you got to consider your wardrobe and the things that you're going to be wearing. And if. Hey, now, if my. I didn't know. I never knew when I'd be able to use that. I'm sorry, y', all, but I'm saying, like, again, If she. If you have that. The carnival cruise with your son and your kids is not the place to be wearing the thong and have your cheeks out. I'm just saying, especially not at the breakfast buffet before y' all go to the kids part of the, you know, with the water slide and stuff like that. It's just. Even if you have a sarong on or I seen a lot of. Okay. I don't know, maybe and myself may have a conversation after this, but I'm just saying, I. I observed women with see through pants. It's all good. That's fine. But then the bathing suit bottom having the cheeks out. And then you got a young boy that you walking handed. No, no. And you got your young king, your son with you. Ma, please, Ma, please, Ma, cover that up. Yo, but nobody. Well, all right, I'm not going to speak for all of the single men out here. But I would like to say consider your son, ma'. Am. Okay. Consider your son, please. All right, now, the last thing that I did want to say about the cruise that I had written down and every. Everything else I may have to just kind of come back to, as I remember or recall it. But they had this thing on the cruise now, they always selling pictures and photography and stuff. Y' all know that, right? But they got this new partner that they partner with called Iris Art. So they literally taking a picture of your eye. Your eyeball, and then they're, quote, unquote, making art out of it. So I. Are you kidding me? What are we talking about here, yo? What? Like, I barely had trouble signing up for, like, Smile and go technology or whatever that line is at the airport that you could skip everybody. I forgot what they call that, but, yeah, I have issues with them. So to hear or to see this Iris Art thing, that was a little. Whatever. That was weird. I did hit the casino as well. All right. Cheers to them. They got me. They got me. But no, there was some. There was a couple table poker games that they had. Those. They're not really built for you to win. Okay, maybe I'll be singing a different tune if I, you know, hit on blackjack, on poker. But still enjoyed myself. All right. I enjoyed myself. All right. I did. Seriously, y'. All. I had fun. I had fun. I had fun. All right, Sound the sound. The soundboard is doing its own thing, but I had fun. All right, okay, that's enough. That's enough. All right. I had fun. But, yeah, so definitely have fun there. I'm trying to think of some other things. Oh, the last night we was there. This is what I'm talking about, y'. All. And some carnival stuff went to the comedy. A comedy show. These comedians. Y' all are getting kind of lazy. I'll just say it. It's the easiest way to say it. Y' all are getting lazy. This guy, he's. He's starting off here. I want to see what type of crowd I got. All right. Is this a. Come on, bro. Is this a crowd where we say vagina or we saying. Do we say penis or we saying. It was all right, bro. Let's say the most shocking stuff or the edgiest things and see who gets most upset or who we can make walk out. It's not comedy to me. So we'll talk a little bit about it with the Kevin Hart stuff, But that was. That was some of the entertainment. But at that comedy Show. Ari B and myself, we sitting down, you know, about to check out the show. All you hear from behind us is, we are on a ship. Okay, hold on. We are on a ship, ma'. Am. I grabbed the back of Ari B's neck to cover it, and I said, I'm. No exaggeration, y'. All. The sneeze came at you. I said, oh, nah, let's go. I mean, I turned around to acknowledge the sneezer and try to lighten the. Soften the mood, but I still gave him that look. Oh, nah, that ain't. We ain't doing that. Okay. Not here. No, ma'. Am. So we got up out of there. With that being said. Yeah, that was. Whatever it was. Stay watch some karaoke. I'm trying to think of some other activities, some other things that went on, but no, all good, though. Overall, awesome time, of course. So salute. Thank you, Cornwood. I made it back alive. Thank you, God, really, for getting me back alive. Right, let's see here. I wanted to see. We'll move forward. Okay. This isn't too much to. This is kind of like in white people news for the week or whatnot, but this guy Chud the builder. I'm sure y' all have heard of this. This drama is going on, homie. He's going around, homie. Get out of here. The white guy flat, man is going around antagonizing black people, calling the N word and saying that they're chimping around. It culminated last week into altercation with a veteran, where he ended up shooting the veteran. And the veteran had admitted to him that he has PTSD prior to the incident. And I didn't stop Chud the builder, but he shot the veteran and was arrested and has recently been given a 1.25 million dollar bail. That's like. That's a premium. Luxury. Expensive. She was saying the word that you didn't just say the regular value of the discount you was using. Luxury. Premium. Yeah, man. That was an expensive ass that you've been saying, brother. But nevertheless, send white people around and find out news, I guess, for the week. So, yeah, just wanted to bring that up and then in other white people showing it as news, the Kevin Hart roast. So I did watch it. I watched it. I think I still have the. I still have, like, Kevin's. The get back of the roast part, you know, where the comedian is being roasted, the person being roasted. Key. I still have that to get through and a little bit of the rocks part to get through as well. But that's for the lazy jokes I do get put everything in context. I heard when Cheryl Underwood finished her performance, she did take a moment to recognize free speech and kind of give some neutral ground or a level ground to everything that was being said that evening, offensive or not, and putting it under the guise of free speech, regardless of how offensive it was. And I do get that premise. But a lot of the jokes that would be considered more offensive would simply be considered the most lazy as well. There are some that were offensive and clever. Somebody said Cheryl Underwood, they said Underwood. They said that's what Pete Davidson's father was found under. Or, or where Pete Davidson's father was found. He passed in 9 11. So it was some clever, witty things, but for the most part they'd be like, oh man, you black. I just see a shadow. Oh man, USO duck. Hey, where the slave masters at? And for that part of it, that cringy part, that's what gets that. Of course, one of the parts that are being talked about the most is Tony Hinchcliffe, this Kill Tony guy character. He says, you know, joke, you know, I bet George Floyd is looking up at us all smiling or laughing so hard that he can't breathe. And again of reach for one, the guy, Tony Hinchcliffe, he stumbled and didn't deliver the joke smoothly, which is a automatic tell that you're not even confident in, in the joke and you nervous about delivering it because of the audience that you're in front of. But it was just a lazy joke is. And it's not, it wasn't funny. I came to this conclusion. Well, I'm about to mention it in a second. A conclusion that I come to about white people in a second. But there was another part of his bit as well where he said something about. He was going on and it sounded like he was about to say, and he says ninja or whatnot. Alluding to Kevin Hart again, lazy, trying to be an agitator or like provoke some kind of emotion and stuff like that, or anger. It's just corny. And so I came to the conclusion that, you know, inherently white people, they're not even, they're not made to be funny. Like, like, that's. I don't know, I just. They're not funny for the most part. There are some funny white people out there. There's a lot of funny white people, matter of fact. But when it comes to like the stand up, the art of stand up and the, the, the science, if you will, of stand up and everything that is stand up, it's not designed for a typical white person to me, because in order to be funny you need to be self aware or in order to be funny, you need to have a level of humility, in my opinion, humble enough at least to recognize your flaws, recognize other people's flaws and what relates you all with those flaws. So there's a couple of things that are fighting against privileged white men whenever it comes to finding humor. And that's how I feel about it. I don't think typically like people like or, or like white men that feel like, call themselves edgy or just honest about. Nah, man, nah. Corny. So like it's not a coincidence that Andrew Schultz is corny to me or Tony Hinchcliffe or some of these other guys. Shane Gillis, I feel like he did a, he did a decent job. And I think Shane Gillis has received enough insults over his life and kind of jokes about him looking so close to a person of down syndrome with down syndrome that he has some humility with his humor and with his comedy. And although he can dish it out. Pause. He seems as if he can, you can't say, like, yeah, dish it out and take it. Right. It seems like just as much as he can take a joke, he can give a joke and that he's, you know, he does. I've seen him hold other white comedians accountable and stuff as well. So. Theo Vaughn, I'll hear him and some of his stuff is funny to me as well. But I, I like his honesty. I feel like he has a level of self awareness to, you know, who he is as a white man or, or what's going on and stuff in the world. And that helps maybe for him to be relatable or more funny to me. Andrew Schultz, not so much Bill Burr, A lot of his material is talking about pretty much how much like you get from Bill Burr that he needs to have a wife to remain, you know, living and stuff like that, to keep his structure. But he hates his family almost or like he does not like he, he has a wife, but he doesn't like women, if that makes sense. Or he loves his wife but he hates women or something. I don't know how to describe Bill Burr, but there's a level of self awareness there where he's kind of joking on the manosphere, if you will, or just joking on my cheese mo or, or whatnot. Like the chauvinistic type of archetype and kind of leans into that. But nevertheless, yeah, that's kind of my opinion on a lot of that. Stuff that happened at the roast, it. Should it have been allowed or whatnot? I don't know, man. I don't know. It's Netflix. It's Netflix. So all of their money is dirty and, you know, and stuff. So. But nevertheless, it was. It was a lot of funny things that did occur. But again, it's like with roast is some kind of sick ass humiliation ritual where it's like, let's say the worst things in the world. Let's get as dark and as, you know, whatever as we can as far as offensive and stuff. And I'm cool on that. I'm cool on that. Like, I'll pass if. If I was ever asked to participate or be the subject of a roast, I'm good. Because at the end of the day, then if you are a good person, people still got to dig and try to get jokes about you regardless, like, and then get it off. So when you can't get clever with your jokes, you start to get cruel. And that's. That's what it looked like, like, began or started to happen out there. So, yeah, I was cool off of that. Also. We had a new Iceman that dropped Drake album that dropped. There's actually three albums that he dropped. The most clever thing for this whole rollout or dropping of the album was the acronym for Habibti Iceman and maid of honor. And that spells him. So that. That was the most interesting or creative thing out of this whole thing to me. But outside of that is more of the same. I don't. It's. It's like this, bruh. It's like this, bruv. It's like this, bruv. I'm sorry, man. It's like this, bro. I just gotta say it. Hip hop. Hip hop. Okay. In defense of Drake, you. Time's up, brother. Not. Not necessarily up in. In the world of music and things like that, but irreparable damage that's been done to your reputation, to your brand, with all of that stuff with the lawsuit. I'm sorry, like, I can't. Excuse me, I can't hear your music the same without. Just. Without thinking about all of that. Thinking about everything that you've done when it comes to putting the integrity of hip hop on trial and at risk. So just real quick, y', all, Real quick. Blotter. Jason Kidd looks to be out at Dallas. He's out as the Dallas Mavericks coach. If you're looking for an assistant coaching job in the meantime, my brother, we may have some room on the. I mean, may have Some room on the next bench. But yeah, back to, back to Drake. I was underwhelmed, I guess. Whelmed, Whelmed. There was a couple tracks. I'm like, okay, all right, all right. But content. He's in a lose, lose situation with me. And that's because the content that he'll put out is stuff that people have said that they want to hear from him. They want to hear how he feels. I think the battle they want to heal. Hear why he really feels this way about Kendrick or different things like that. It's just the way that he's rapping it. I don't shout out to bk. She's on Culture United with the company man Justin Hunt and she has her own platform on YouTube. I just can't remember the exact name of the, of the platform. But she said, like, he's just not an entertainer. You know, he's not entertaining. And that's, I think, what it comes around to, you know, even with delivering the music and stuff like that, I'm just, I'm thoroughly whelmed. I'm not, you know, entertained anymore, especially in times like these by any braggadocious raps and any rappers that's stunting and popping it and flaunting. I'm just. Yeah, you have moments. He definitely has moments on the album that I can rock with or whatnot. But overall, I'm cool on this. I'm very cool on the album. I'm cool. Thank you. But thank you. Thank you, brother Drake. Yeah, that's that on that. Now this week I unfortunately do not have any classical high star bars or any hind start bars to play off hand. Just double checking because I don't am double checking, making sure. And the big reason for that though is because the Knicks are playing tonight. So we'll end this with a little bit of sports here. Knicks are playing tonight. Shout out to the Knicks salute. Playing the Cleveland Cavaliers. So in the last episode, episode, I did say a lot of people were picking us to play Detroit and already making their conclusions about what was going to happen when we play Detroit. I said on the last episode, Detroit needs to finish their food. And they're still, you know, came back again and Cleveland actually won in seven games. So shout out to Cleveland. They're all on 14 games right now, so salute to them. You know, they got some kind of rhythm but they've been playing a lot of basketball as well. So we shall see how the game goes this evening. First game one in Madison Square Garden. It should be a good one. Last night Instant classic between San Antonio spurs and the Oklahoma City Thunder. Brotherly love to all of them out there. Wembanyama, 41 points, 23 rebounds. And I'll say this as well, like it's just again, us veering away from sports common. I mean sports reporting and sports journalism and getting into sports commentary and sports analysts or opinion based sports content is super bad for the sport. For any sports rather. But I noticed with basketball is very bad for basketball and postseason play. So you had game one of San Antonio versus okc and every news outlet is so thirsty to be at the top when it comes to viewership that they say audacious and just ridiculous things. So the. I've heard Stephen A. You know, Chad Holmgren needs to get it together. He's 7:1 for nothing. He needs to. What are we talking about? You know, you know, SGA needs to show us why he's mvp. That's all evident. Everybody knows that when you at this level in conference finals or the NBA finals, you're going to have the like you have to give game plan, coaching and defense credit. Whenever an opponent is stopped. You have to give more credit to the people that stop, to the people that did the stopping. You know what I'm saying? It's not enough credit given to these other teams. And then we become prisoners at a moment after one game we flip all the way one way. Another game you'll flip. You'll hear commentators flip all the way another way. And that, that, that zaps the trust out of everything. You can't trust nothing that they're saying. And it's just, you know, it lacks integrity, if you will, because it's a, again, it's a, it's a cheap take. It's a take that is just kind of poured out for views really and, and looking for views or whatnot. So that, that's kind of my take on, on that. So let's just enjoy these conference finals. I say like don't look at consuming as much of what we used to call news but the coverage of these games, you don't have to look to consume as much as the coverage of these games. Especially on. Depending on who the coverage is coming from. And yeah, just enjoy the, enjoy the games. Enjoy. Enjoy the conference finals, y'. All. Salute again to my Knicks. May all of the players stay healthy and have some great competition. I don't like how the refs is kind of a big part of the story every year in the playoffs. But whatever, whatever I just want them to call it consistently and that's all just call stuff consistently, right? So let's go ahead and move forward.
