Chapter 1: What lessons can we learn from March Madness losses?
Brothers and sisters, it's March Madness, one of the most magical times of the year when somebody gets crowned to be the ultimate winner on each side, men and women, you feel me? But guess what also happens? Someone has to lose, man. As a matter of fact, a lot of people has to lose. Whenever you take a loss, bro, that's just a loss on that aspect. That's just a loss right there in that arena.
A lot of these losses be shaping us to be the person that we need to be for the next W we going to get. You feel me? All the people who take losses in these tournaments, bro, you will never see them say, okay, cool, I quit now. Well, we lost. We didn't win a championship. I quit now. You don't see Steph Curry. They didn't win a championship last year. He didn't quit now.
That boy just dropped 52 this year in a regular season game. So just remember, out there, when you going through life's ups and downs and catch an L here and there in life, bro, that L is really what... Let that be a lesson. Turn that loss and make that stand for a lesson, you feel me? And keep it moving and push that to the front of the agenda for that next W you're going to get.
Because, bro, somebody got to win. And next time... Why not be you? You feel me? Let's celebrate the L's because that's going to make us who we need to be to get them W's. You dig us? Hey, you got to know, you got to know, you got to know.
Hey, Don, I'll be with you, you serving everybody. Hey, appreciate you having me, big dog. How is everything, man?
Man, everything cool, man. Like I said, bro, I'm so happy and so proud to live in an era where my dog, young L.A., is really like actually rising from the ashes like the phoenix. With the black boy, white boy swag. With the haircut boy, with the crosses on me everywhere. Oh, my God, I'm blessed.
Yeah, man. You know, it's a beautiful thing. I love seeing the anti-Revival, too, because, bro, that's an all-time record. Him, Tip, Dro, everybody went in, bro. Classic, for sure.
Exactly. That shit, it be turning up the whole Atlanta. I be in certain parties, like, going to NBA events and stuff like that. They'll play that not knowing what they playing. I'm like... I'm finna actually turn up the whole thing.
Yeah, like this is an Atlanta National Anthem right here.

Chapter 2: How is Steph Curry proving unstoppable in the NBA?
You know who had an incredible performance last week that's not getting talked about enough, in my opinion? Giannis Antetokounmpo. Bro put up, what was his stat line the other night? 100, 100, and 100. Bro, no damn time, no real help for real on that bench. Kind of weak roster a little bit if you squint. But bro putting up historical numbers, dog.
I don't think he get the respect he deserve in this day and age. What you think, bro?
I totally agree. I totally agree. He had a 20-assist game. I think it was 50-21-16. 50-16-21 was the stat line. Just, bro, like, I just don't understand why there isn't more talk around Giannis. And I think, me personally, I think Giannis is the second best player in the world. I think only Yogi can do that. Right?
He's a dude who has given us 30-12-6 for the past five seasons and has been an all-defense guy while doing it. He's in the class with, Michael Jordan and Akeem Olajuwon is the only players to ever win MVP and defensive player of the year the same year. And it feels like there's no discussion around him. I don't get it.
I don't know if it's because we all know that Milwaukee is just not doing anything in the postseason. Maybe that's it. Maybe we know that that team ain't going nowhere. You brought Doc Rivers in to try to save you. That's when you know you scrambling, right? But yeah, Giannis is incredible, bro. And like I said, I just don't understand why there's not more discussion around him. Right.
Moving on, bro. We got some people. We got a hotline here on the show, man. And we allow the fans of the show to give their calls in and just give us their takes, their wacky questions. So, Ms. Rebecca, cue some of those calls up for us right quick so we can go through some of them. You did me.
Juju, this is Fumwin from Madison, Wisconsin. I got a daughter coming in August. I got a question for you. How early is too early? for me to introduce her to the great race-relation movie Rush Hour. I'm talking about one of the two. All right, thanks. Bye.
How early is too early to watch the movie Rush Hour? We got a guest. I'm going to let my dog Tyler hit that one first. What you think, bro? How early is too early to watch Jun Tao on the board?
The great cultural commentary movie, as he referred to it. First off, congrats, Sam, for having a daughter on the way. Big shout out to that. Rush Hour, going back to what he said about how it is a great comedy that's rooted in cultural differences, which I wholeheartedly agree on.
