Did you ever feel bad after a poster?

No.

You ever felt bad one time?

Never.

What if a guy's wife was there?

Shouldn't have been there.

What if his mom just died or something?

Well, that's sad.

Yeah.

But I don't feel bad for the dunk.

I feel bad that he just lost the matriarch of his family.

What if he cried?

Hypothetically.

Has someone ever cried?

I don't know, but Kendrick Perkins deleted his Twitter after I dunked on him.

That's like,

I think that should be on my resume.

Yeah, somehow he's still

annoying almost.

He's back.

He's back.

Carry on.

Carry the hell on.

Carry the hell on.

Well, look.

Everything that's true.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Alrighty,

Good evening, everybody.

Welcome back to the Adam Friedland Show.

I'm Adam Friedland.

First off, I just want to take a moment to thank our members, the members of the Friedland Family Foundation.

If you'd like to support the show, simply hit join at the top of this page here on youtube.com.

You'll get early access to all of our new episodes before they come out and are released to the general public.

Also, as I said last week, we have a Patreon now if you prefer to support the show through Patreon.

My guest this week is none other than former Los Angeles Clipper NBA superstar Blake Griffin.

Now folks, it should come as no surprise that I've never taken it to the rack.

I've never caught a body at the rim.

So, you know, it would be easy to focus on the things that differentiate myself from a guy like Blake.

But in my research, I was taken aback by just how much we had in common.

So without further ado, this.

If you're a newer fan of the Adam Friedland Show, you know me as a public intellectual.

But what you may not know is that at one time, I was a nightclub comedian.

I used to spend my weekends on the road going town to town peddling jokes for adoring fans.

But life on the road was lonely and before long I turned to alcohol, drugs, even plus-size models.

I was on a highway to hell, but then one event woke me up.

The second election of Donald John Trump.

A tragedy that even my substance-riddled brain found hard to comprehend.

When I looked around at my peers, it seemed like more and more of them were bending the the knee to fascism.

As a lifelong Democrat, I no longer had a home in the world of comedy.

So I walked away.

It's been eight months now.

I got sober.

I quit having sex.

My new vice is the Adam Friedland Show, and celebrity interviews keep me high 40 hours a week.

This week, my guest was Blake Griffin, who is both a world-class athlete and also a world-class comedian.

While I'd be fine being dominated mono-e-mano by Mr.

Griffin on the b-ball court, it would be an utter humiliation to get posterized by him in the sport of comedy.

Preparing for an interview is a lot like preparing for a world championship game of hoops, so in order to get back in shape, I needed to get back in the gym.

It was time for me to dust off the old microphone.

In the biz, we call it a drop-in.

A famous comedian visits an open mic unannounced to test out new material.

It had been a while since I'd been in an environment like this, and admittedly, self-doubt started to creep in.

In my early years as a comedian, open mics were a second home for me.

But maybe I've changed.

Maybe I've become so comfortable around celebrities that I lost the ability to exist amongst nobodies and amateurs.

I needed some liquid courage, so I relapsed on alcohol and had a handful of Long Island iced teas.

Before I knew it, it was my time to grace the stage and show six-time NBA all-star Blake Griffin that I've still got it.

We're gonna have a little comedy, everybody.

Let's get things started.

Can we get let's get the comedy stylings of Adam Friedland, everybody.

Give it up for Adam Friedland!

Thanks, Hannibal.

Guys, what a night.

Give it up for everyone you've seen tonight.

So, Blake Griffin is on the Amazon NBA news show.

Wouldn't it be funny to ask him if he thinks the workers should be paid a living wage?

Do you think that'd be good?

I take it.

Do you think the Clippers owner, Steve

Ballmer, ever made Blake Griffin use the Microsoft Surface Pro?

Okay, alright.

I thank her for making me feel good.

Lawyer, lawyer, sir, the question was, is this your handwriting?

Another crush, like riding a bike.

I only had one joke left, my big closer.

A joke I've been working on for years.

And if I could get this joke to work, this would truly be one of the greatest stand-up comedy sets in all of history.

Alright, so I'm trying to come up with a title for my new book.

I'm thinking my year of rest and penaxation,

or my year of penis and relaxation,

or my penis of penis and

penaxation

my round of applause which one

of those do you think is the best

my first bomb i was destroyed years of my life down the drain I'm trying to come up with a title for my new book.

I'm thinking year of rest and P-Naxation.

But then I realized something.

There were probably days in Blake Griffin's career that he shot the basketball and it didn't go in.

But he kept shooting and shooting and shooting.

And that sort of tenacity led him to almost win the second round of the NBA playoffs multiple times.

So if he never stopped shooting, neither would I.

Showtime.

And thank you for talking about the twin flame.

I don't know if you had your twin flame experience, but you'll be lucky to survive because that that motherfucker will ride till the wheels fall off.

Give it up for a Gwynn one more time, everybody.

Fantastic.

You know, you can have a backing track too.

You can have a somber by the fireside vibe track if you want.

All right, we're gonna have some more comedy.

Can we get Adam Friedland back up, everybody?

Give it up for Adam Friedland again.

Give it up for Adam Friedland, everybody.

You know about me.

You remember more Corey?

He's a you don't know me.

So anyway, guys, I'm thinking of a title for my new book.

I'm thinking my year of rest and penaxation

or my year of penis and relaxation

or my penis of penis and penaxation.

Ball game.

That's how it's done, son.

Mamba out.

I was ready to interview Blake Griffin.

After celebrating my victory with the fans, I headed off stage.

And I went home and attempted to have the best sex of my entire life.

This is Adam Friedland signing off.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a very special host for the Adam Friedland Show this week.

It's none other than Adam Friedland.

He stands 6'9, weighing 117 pounds from the University of Hogwarts.

Power forward, Adam.

You don't know me!

You don't know me!

You don't know me!

You don't know me!

Catch me outside!

Yeah, how about that?

How about duh?

So that was a fun comedy bit.

Blake came today.

He wanted to do some comedy bits.

I prepared one for you today.

What do you think about this?

Okay.

Jerry Maguire.

No.

Okay.

All right.

Thanks for coming on the show.

Yeah, thanks for having me.

It's kind of weird.

It's strange for me because it's like, I don't know.

It took,

I guess we have to maximize the time that we have left.

It just took so long for us to find each other.

But like, you never really find a twin flame.

Like, you know, like sometimes people go throughout life without finding like type shit.

Yeah, yeah, type shit.

And it's like,

I love this guy.

We're like, we immediately bonded.

We had a general meeting once, and my managers told me to pitch you on doing a sports podcast together.

And I was like, you know, I could get Blue Chew.

I could get like...

I could get him.

You know, this podcast thing is going big.

And then I was like, career earnings, $261 million.

And I was like,

what gave me the right to even think that I was capable of doing that?

Oh,

I think you were well within your rights.

Yeah.

Are we going to do it?

This could be the pilot episode.

Yeah, this could be.

I mean, I just introduced you.

I know.

It kind of went okay.

Are you sitting up all the way?

I want to.

Okay.

It just feels like I'm.

So, yeah.

Alright.

So you're here for the Amazon upfronts?

Yes.

You're joining the studio crew of Amazon?

I am.

I'll be in studio and an in-studio analyst.

Uh-huh.

And you got, you have a crazy, wacky crew?

Because you got to think about the comedy.

Like, you have to, like, if you guys are coming for that number one spot right now, I know inside the NBA or go to ESPN.

Is that correct?

That's correct.

So, like, you know, you guys have to see what sets you guys apart or something.

I think, you know, chemistry,

actual analysis.

That's what people love, is the actual analysis on the NBA.

They're those guys.

Yeah, yeah.

It's the best sports show on TV, I think.

It's the best show on TV.

Wow.

I think it's the funniest show on TV.

Marvelous Miss Mazel.

Marvelous Miss Mazel, shout out to Amazon.

Shout out to Bezos.

The other shows on Amazon.

Yeah, yeah.

The Boys.

The Boys.

Yeah.

Marvelous.

Did I say Marvelous Miss Mazel?

Miss Mazel, yeah.

The Washington Post, of course, don't get me started on that.

Another Bezos property.

Do you?

Can I say one more?

Yeah, yeah.

Mr.

and Mrs.

Smith.

Mr.

and Mrs.

Smith.

Is that Amazon?

Yeah, with Donald Glover.

Donald Glover.

Yeah, childish.

Yeah, Gambino, yeah.

I'd say he's a grown-up Gambino.

That's really good.

We'll be right back.

His hands are so big.

It's crazy.

I feel like a lady.

I have a question for you.

Do you think that the people that work at Amazon factories should be paid a higher

I don't know

do you think that's just kidding

All right, so wait so you were you were a younger brother I am a younger brother yeah Taylor was your brother Yeah, yeah, and he was a hooper too.

He was a hooper He played you hard you think they like got you league ready kind of yeah You think so?

Having an older brother.

You just know all the terms.

He's just really league ready?

Yeah, I have high basketball IQ.

League him.

Yeah, league him.

League him.

League him.

Yeah.

Yeah, what's his name?

Jimmer Fredett's older brothers used to make him go to the prison in their town to play.

In Utah?

No, I think he was from upstate New York, actually.

Oh, really?

Yeah, yeah.

But he played at BYU.

Right.

They get him to play convicts.

And, yeah, I mean, like,

it's so funny to imagine a Mormon kid where guys are like, hold my pocket.

I imagine, like, it's like

there's there's zero pressure because it's no the most pressure because you have to you want to miss every shot when you're playing against convicts you don't want to you don't want to go towards convicts no no after what they did i think that that's the least i could do is yeah that they owe society a debt yeah you gotta play this little white kid

and by the way if he loses you're in here forever i can imagine no everyone no one's calling fouls

no i don't think there are fouls in prison do you think who do you think there's a guy in the league that plays prison style?

Pat Bev, kind of.

Yeah, there's a very obvious one you're forgetting.

Draymond.

There you go.

Draymond.

Yeah.

Draymond played prison style.

I think now guys in prison are like, all right, guys, we're playing Draymond style.

They're not like prison rules.

They're like, we're playing Draymond rules.

There was a year where it was a little too much penis.

If you remember.

He was just going penis every time.

Oh, okay, yeah.

Yeah, sorry.

Yeah, well, he also.

Well, his penis also should.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

His penis also could.

Yeah.

Which had happened?

It was like his year of penis.

That's crazy.

My year of rest and penite,

my year of penis and relax.

Okay, whatever.

Wait.

I went to WNBA semifinals with my girlfriend and her mom

at Barclays.

I got to say, energy-wise.

Nets games can you play for the Nets.

They can tend to be a little bit of the traveling fans sometimes.

Yeah.

Yeah, which is like a little bit, I'm sure as a

player on the team, maybe annoying or frustrating.

Yeah, we play the Knicks and it was like the quarter of the arena was Knicks fans.

I went for a Lakers game there once and it was just all Lakers fans.

Lakers, Knicks, like Bulls travel pretty well.

They just haven't been like as good.

Boston fan, actually Boston fans travel really well.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, they love, I mean, they...

They love words, certain words.

They love basketball.

They like saying the word basketball.

What else?

Yeah.

Do you want to say them?

Yeah.

Bum ass.

Bum ass.

Bum.

Bam.

But when I went,

my girlfriend and her mom, I guess they found this really not funny at all.

But

I was thinking for the dancers, they should have just sexy guys.

Oh, male dancers.

Yeah, yeah.

Just like huge

eggplant print.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And then they said, gray sweatpants.

They said that that's not funny, Adam.

And please stop.

And I said, well, no one's made a shot in eight minutes.

So my mind.

I've had a lot of time to think.

My mind has wandered.

There's been a...

I mean, but I will say, energy-wise, them gals were.

People were really

going for the liver.

Yeah, them gals,

them gals.

Them gals, yeah.

We them gals.

We them gals, yeah.

But they didn't like the sexy guy's idea.

I would kind of like, in another life,

I mean, obviously, I'd like to be an NBA player, but like.

I could see you being a W NBA husband, husband, yeah.

That's what, like, just dress like a get a BBL, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, wear fashion nova, yeah, just be an absolute slut, course, fashion nova, huge glasses, my, yeah, my wife, Grinder, the ambush,

yeah, be taking BG, yeah.

I could see you being like the one where, like, there's a little scrap on the court and you stand up, like, yeah, yeah, come on, yeah, yeah, yeah, get her, get her, get her, expose her, taking off fake earrings,

Don't make me get it.

Hold my baby.

Hold my baby.

I get pregnant.

I get pregnant.

I'm like a male seahorse.

I'm a WNBA basketball husband.

I'm a seahorse.

I don't know.

It seems like it could fit you.

Yeah.

I mean,

what was your,

like, you're...

Are you like officially the best NBA rookie of all time?

Do you think you hold that title?

Maybe.

Maybe.

Maybe.

I I think so.

I think maybe the last unanimous rookie of the year.

Yeah.

It's the All-Star My Rookie Year.

And previous to that, it was Yao Ming and Tim Duncan.

Yao Ming, fan vote, China, a lot of people.

We're actually transitioning pro-CCP on this show.

Oh, really?

Yeah, I think you got to read the tea leaves.

And what exactly do you have to do to transition to that?

I just think that what they're doing over there is fire.

I saw when iShow Speed went over there.

He was having a lot of fun.

Type shit.

They have flying cars.

Type shit.

You know, we got this guy over here type shit.

Type shit.

This type shit guy over here.

That's my new favorite type shit.

Type shit.

You know what I'm saying?

Type shit.

You're trying to get back in the league.

You're trying to chill with those 19-year-olds.

Yeah, you know.

You want to hang with the Thompson twins.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, type shit.

Amen.

Amen.

And Osser.

Them boys can play.

Man, them boys.

Them boys can play.

Them boys.

Them gals play.

The

Asura, he had like that game again, the Brunson game,

that entire fourth quarter, he had like, he had the straps.

Clamps.

The clamps.

He had him on an island.

He was Derrell Revis.

Yeah.

And then like Brunson getting him right at the end, it was such a moment.

Brunson's so good.

He's so good.

He's so good.

He's a coach's son?

He is a coach's son.

Your dad played ball?

My dad played, yeah, college basketball.

And your mom went to, it was a hokey too?

I don't know what hokey is.

What is a hokey?

Hokey?

Virginia Tech hokeies?

What are you guys called?

Sooners?

Sooners, yeah.

Because it's all Greek to me.

In 1889, there was a land run for the territory that became known as Oklahoma.

All right.

And the people.

Sorry.

Sorry, fast.

We don't have much faster.

Yeah, yeah, fast, faster.

So the Sooners were the people who just went early.

They cheated.

Oh, they went early.

Yeah.

Yeah.

But hokies are cool.

Okay.

Sorry.

Sorry, I didn't mean to call you hokeies.

I don't know what the freaking nicknames are.

Read the cards.

How many Republicans are in the NBA?

All All of them.

17.

17?

Yeah.

Who's Jimmy Bucketts?

Probably.

Probably.

I don't know.

I kind of feel like he's got a little Republican.

Is he good?

Yeah.

He's a little bit like pull yourself up by your bootstraps.

I was an orphan.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Has the demographic changed in the NBA?

Like, did you notice that?

Still mostly black.

Scott Chops, actually.

No, like,

I remember when Kobe was like a rookie, there was an understanding that he was a little bit of a pariah because he grew up like upper middle class you know and um the like nowadays it seems like it's kind of like a like a very much a middle class upper middle class league is that is that fair maybe there's a lot like there I mean think about there's a lot of guys that are former NBA players like sons sons of NBA players it's like Hollywood yeah it's like nepos a lot of nepotism yeah yeah

but does AAU cost a lot of money is that right like not really no and you get like you you get free stuff they pay for travel they pay for they give you shoes.

How much stuff did you get before you're in the league?

I don't think I bought a pair.

I haven't bought a pair of basketball.

Sorry, it's a little bit of a brag.

I haven't bought a pair of basketball shoes since I was probably like 13.

I'll get you started.

That's not a good flex, dude.

What's the word?

Well, you were just asking about before

when you had no free.

Pre-NIL.

Oh, you were just getting like free stuff, like just shoes and gear and stuff.

LeBron had an escalate in high school.

Yeah, well, I wasn't LeBron.

Still not.

Why, you would.

Sorry about that.

No, it's fine.

Was he your goat growing up?

I loved LeBron, like, I mean, he got into the league, what, 04?

So I was like, I was in high school still.

Yeah.

He's still playing.

I was in high school when he came in.

I went to college.

I played for 14 years.

I retired, and he's still playing.

Why can't we?

Why aren't people appreciating it more?

I think people are.

People constantly are talking about what he's doing at age 40.

People are talking about.

and I think this is like segueing back to you being now in NBA media, right?

But like it seems like it's gotten a little wacky this year.

Like

Stephen A is threatening to have

threatening to fight LeBron.

Like it's like a little bit like can we just he's 24 8 and 8 and he's 40.

He's 22 years into the lead.

What he's doing at age 40 is insane.

There's no reason for him to actually retire at this point.

I think the problem is that like when it's like a guy guy that's up for like the goat debate it's like you really like you want him to like contend for championships every year the lakers or awesome just wasn't they weren't good enough they truly weren't good enough he's 40.

i know but i'm just saying the goat debate that's that's the burden that he has to carry they had three guys on the team they had rui i guess rui they had four austin austin reeves your little bro lil broke hokey or sooner sooner

you got annoyed when i asked you about austin i was like i I was like, do you like look out for him as the Sooners?

When we had to be able to do that.

And you were like, he was a transfer, dude.

What am I supposed to fucking do?

He was there for one year.

It's like,

look out for yourself, dude.

I got a lot of shit to worry about.

Who is your baby bro?

Did you have baby bros?

Baby bruh.

In the league?

Yeah, I got my young boys.

Who are you?

Like, who are you?

Who's the fan?

Do you like call them and stuff and say, like, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, get your head right.

Yeah.

Hey, hey, lock in.

Lock in.

Yeah.

Type shit.

Yeah, type shit.

Lock in type shit.

Lock in type shit.

Keep killing type shit.

Stay healthy fam type shit.

Who are your baby boys?

My baby bruhs.

For life.

You know, my young guys, like Bruce Brown, I played with in Detroit.

That's like, that's my guy.

Peyton Pritchard, Grant Williams.

You know, it's like the guy, the young guys that you play with

as an older player.

You just become like, you become.

You become OG and stuff.

And then you see a little something in them.

Yeah, you see something.

Yeah, yeah.

And they've all kind of thrived.

Yeah, I mean, mostly because of my, you know.

From what you told them.

Yeah.

What did you tell them?

Like, you took them on a drive or something?

Yeah, I said, hey, get in.

Get in.

And we just, I would just go somewhere.

Yeah, yeah.

What kind of car?

Like a 57 Chevy kind of like, like, kind of like a distant dad?

Yeah.

Like after the divorce, but you come back and you have a cool car, so that people are like, dad, this is awesome.

Like the car that Denzel Washington drove in

Training Day.

Exactly.

Yeah.

And I would usually,

yeah, get wet.

You'd make them get away.

King Kong, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Shit on me.

Jake, yeah.

They're like, what are you doing?

That's good.

Thanks.

I've been working on impressions.

You should watch season four of Eastbound to get in the mindset of NBA being a sports pundit media.

Season four of Eastbound and Down?

Yeah.

Because that's when he joins the show, and then

he gets his juice.

Yeah.

He gets his salt.

He gets his juice back.

Yeah, he gets his

type shit.

Yeah.

I would love if we could just just splice together all the type shits.

You get his type shit.

Has there ever been a guy that just like right before a game has has to say a big one, right?

Crap, right?

Yeah, for sure.

And then they don't wipe properly?

Like like a Pat Bev style defender.

And like, can you imagine like how annoying it would be if Pat Bev just like

smelled like poop?

I can imagine.

Can you imagine?

It would be equally like as insane.

Yeah, it's tough.

Sometimes like, you know, like somebody's got a little odor to them, you know, and guarding, especially in the post.

One time, I'm not going to say who, but a guy had dreadlocks, and I'm guarding him in the post, and he kind of banged, and the dreadlocks just engulfed my face.

Yeah, it smelled like marijuana.

It came back now worse than that.

It smelled like what I imagined Willie Nelson's braid smell like.

Did it smell like, so you smell like a hobo?

And it's, yeah, it just was, it was, we actually don't say that.

We say unhomed.

Unhoused.

Unhoused.

Well, unhomed.

Unhomeded.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

Homeless.

Homeless.

Yeah, less than a home.

Have you,

like,

who is it?

It's not DJ.

That's your boy.

No, I'm not going to say, I just said I'm not going to say it.

It was Kenneth Free.

It was Kenneth III.

Was it Kenneth Marie?

Was it Kenneth Marie?

Wow.

Shout out Kenneth Free, though.

The Manimal.

Shout out the Manimal.

There's like, seems to be friction between the eras right now.

I think it's because

Stephen A thing is kind of ushered in.

To me, it's like if you look at the just the what like it's 22 years in like it's it's like it's kind of hard to say anyone's better at basketball than LeBron James is ever right I think for me a little bit like and I think that also when I've I've been watching basketball my whole life, it just seems like they're so good.

They're so fucking good right now.

And it's just like, instead of like debating eras, just be like, why can't people just appreciate just how good people are at basketball now?

I agree.

I say that a lot.

I think sometimes we get too into the weeds and like debating like this guy, this guy, trying to break them down.

It's like just appreciate how good he is and what he's doing.

When somebody's done playing, then you can sort of like step back and analyze their whole career.

My whole thing with

GOAT debate is

athletes get judged off winning, right?

Like, Michael Jordan won better than anybody.

I don't judge them off winning.

You know what I mean?

Like, I don't judge anyone.

If they don't go to the finals, I think they're still a good guy.

Yeah, I mean, I never won, but I know, but it's fine.

No, but you're still nice at ball.

Hell type shit.

Type shit.

See?

Thanks.

So, do you think he's the best player of all time?

He's okay.

I'm a Laker fan, but to be honest with you, I'm a Kobe fan, right?

And I will say when we won in the bubble, I thought it was...

I looked inside my soul.

I was like, it does feel a little bit different.

But I still think he's the best basketball player of all time.

I think that it might be...

Do you think that maybe a little bit

Michael Jordan might just be a little bit bored?

And maybe they took the team away.

Maybe he's a little bit...

And then

he's just a little bit...

Has he been saying things?

I think that maybe through Stephen A, it seems like maybe he's just been torturing torturing this guy.

I think that's his puppet.

I think a little bit like he's been torturing this guy for 22 years.

Stephen A has?

No, well,

Jordan.

Jordan.

He won't talk to him.

He wore 23.

That's so mean.

It's really mean.

He does talk to him.

No, he's.

They don't have a relationship.

That doesn't mean they've never spoken.

Michael Jordan was an owner for

the majority of LeBron's career.

Hell of an owner, too.

Oh.

One of the best.

Should we buy a team?

That'd be great.

How much money do you have?

WNBA money, maybe?

Yeah.

Yeah.

We should buy a WNBA team.

Yeah.

Then we can implement the mint and mint.

Then we have

the big dick.

The great

sweatpants.

Dance.

The gray sweatpants.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Gray Sweatpant Boys.

I'm dressed like a hoe.

That would drive mad.

All the girls are my girlfriend.

That would drive female viewership and attendance.

Which is

one of the most important things for the WNBA, female support.

What has

not playing basketball been like?

Just kind of, you know.

It's been nice to have a, you know, transition to a different part of my life.

You did one thing so much, right?

You did it.

And

to get to the level you were at, I mean,

it was your entire life, I would say.

Your entire life.

Yeah,

but I also had things to step into.

I had

other projects going on outside of basketball that I just kind of stepped right into that.

And that helps that transition.

When you haven't figured out what you want to do after basketball and you retire, I've kind of seen it.

And guys are kind of, it's a little bit shell-shocked, right?

They're like, well, what now?

Do guys get depressed?

I would imagine, yeah, some have that.

Their entire identity, like you said, for your whole life, whole life,

is like, it's no longer there.

It's no longer longer taken away.

But it also helps when you retire on your own terms.

Like, some guys get phased out, some guys, like, they want to still play.

And then they keep trying to get 10-day contracts and stuff.

Mellow kind of got that treatment.

A little bit, yeah, but he still got onto teams.

He had that fun Portland situation.

I mean, he was Oklahoma City,

Houston,

Lakers, Portland.

Is he the coolest guy?

Mellow's awesome.

Who's the coolest guy?

Jamal.

Well, first of all,

as a Christian man,

God.

God won.

God won Jesus 2.

Martin Luther King.

Abraham 3, Martin Luther King 4.

Gandhi.

Gandhi 7.

Gandhi's not in my top five.

And that might be controversial.

Abraham Lincoln, JFK.

Obama.

Obama, type shit.

I mean, listen.

Tell us a little bit about this.

Muhammad Ali.

Tell us a little bit about this.

What do all these men have in common?

Tell us about, yeah.

So you made this shirt.

I didn't make that shirt.

Why would you make this shirt?

It's a little bit cringe,

a little bit, no?

You know,

I just wanted people to know, like, what type of stuff was.

When you walked in for that meeting, did you laugh?

I definitely saw this shirt, and I was like...

What the fuck are they doing?

Was that Wahlmer did that?

Mm-hmm.

That was like my free agency meeting in 2017.

He's like, we're going to make this shirt.

Here's a free surface pro.

Yeah.

Here's a Surface Pro.

Cool.

He's like, I'm sweating.

I actually threw my shirt.

I photoshopped that on the Surface Pro.

Yeah, I made this on a Surface Pro.

What was that transition of ownership like?

Because you guys were like a really good team, right?

Yeah, we were really good.

And then you had this drama.

And normally the drama is like they want to make narratives in the locker room.

But the drama was out.

I mean, the drama actually...

Was the drama also in the...

In the locker room?

Well,

didn't it come out that he was like bringing like other weird like oh yeah gargoyle rich people in to look at the beautiful the beautiful bodies yeah he would come in with like his crew of you know it'd be like 10 12 people with him and they'd come to the locker room like we'd all have like towels on

one time after a game he uh

he came up and he was like

I'm in a towel.

He comes over and grabs my arm and he's got all his people in there and he goes, let's hear it for our number one star, Hip Hip.

And he raised my arm and everybody all these people go hooray and I'm sitting there like holding his towel going like

Hip Hip hooray did it three times hip hip hooray and I was like

And they're all like 75 years old I mean some of the like I mean did you meet the the V?

Oh, yeah V stiv V V stivian.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, I know V did apparently you called her your silly rabbit?

Yeah, my silly little rabbit.

He called her my Wascally wabbit.

My hip wascal wabbit.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It was like,

how are you guys responding to that in the locker room?

Was that a stressful or was it like...

You just kind of like laugh it off.

You're like, that was nuts.

Yeah.

They're like, we got this Smeagol guy that owns the team.

Yeah.

He keeps calling me his precious.

He's like, welcome to the locker room.

This is Deborah Jewish.

This is Mora Tri Rendell.

We're going to have one of them, we're going to have a freak off with DeAndre Jordan.

This is the point God, Chris Paul.

Yeah, he would, one time at one of his white parties I had to go to, like right when I got drafted, he would walk.

Yeah, oh, sorry, we used dress white white clothes, yeah.

And he kept saying, like, his mom, no, his mom's white, his mom's white.

His mom's white.

That's fine.

And he would, like, he would have people like, he was like, feel his stomach, feel his abs, feel his arms.

That's

that's hard.

That's real.

I was like 19 years old.

You were at work.

Yeah.

I mean, that's your boss.

Yeah.

That's boss, man.

That's your boss.

That's my boss.

That was your boss.

And your boss was making, like, a...

My boss was touching me.

Your boss?

You got touched by your boss?

My boss was touching me.

That's not, that's bad behavior.

He was like grabbing my arm.

He's like, if Matt Laua gets away with it, so can I.

this

and licks on my feet and touches me when I'm in all, when I'm in a limousine, she takes off all her clothes and the limo driver said, what is going on?

And she started sucking on me on her way to Mr.

Koon's house.

And I thank her.

I thank her for making me feel good.

Sir, the question was, is this your handwriting?

All right, that's scene, guys.

That's scene.

Thank you.

Did you watch the show they made about it?

I tried to.

I watched like 15 minutes.

Thanks, man.

A little bit of 6ix9ine Channing Tatum stuff.

Thanks.

Yeah.

I don't know the guy's name, but he was...

It seemed like he did his audition and they were like, well, I mean, I guess we could just dye his hair red.

Yeah.

And that was like, that was it for the audition process.

If you had to have a guy play you in a movie, have you ever thought about who you'd want?

Yeah, probably Alec Baldwin.

Yeah.

Makes sense.

You do have a bald.

I have like Baldwin.

Baldwin energy.

Vibes energy.

Boom, boom.

The shooter.

Shane Tatum, that'd be awesome, man.

Thanks for saying that.

First of all, the tip dunk was not an offensive foul.

That was an foul.

The other one

I kind of got a forearm to the face.

That was rude.

It wasn't rude.

I'm a rude guy.

You know, he's a doctor in Spain.

Who was your mentor in the league?

Who looked out for you?

Who looked out for me?

Did you talk to Kobe ever?

Oh, yeah.

Yeah,

Kobe was awesome.

So my first year, I was hurt my whole first year.

Yeah.

And I was doing rehab with this PT, this really great PT, and that was like Kobe's...

Lady.

Her name was Judy Sato.

And I would be in there every day.

And I remember the first day that I really, like, truly met Kobe and sat and talked with him for a while.

I'm in the PT clinic, sitting there, and I'm just, you know, you got heat and ice on your knee to start and do all this stuff.

And I'm sitting there, and I kind of like look up, and like, the place got like eerily quiet.

I was like, what's going on?

And I look over, and Kobe was like standing at the entrance.

I was like, oh.

In LA, or just in the world, but in LA especially, Kobe was like...

Like when you saw him, it was like people, it got quiet.

He's our favorite guy ever.

Bob Dylan, Kobe, and

Woody, maybe.

Harrelson?

Oh, Woody from Toy Story.

Oh, Alan.

Woody Allen.

Oh, Woody Allen.

Take this seriously, dude.

I am.

He meant a lot to us and the whole city and the Filipino community.

Woody Allen?

Woody Allen.

He meant a lot to the...

In China, they go crazy.

The Mexicans, they love him.

We love Kobe.

He's our friend.

Lakers.

Lakers.

The Lakers.

The Lakers play the Doyers later.

Oh, I see.

I usually would pull into Staples Center.

Oh, you go first class?

First class.

You ever been to a game and balleted?

Yeah, I did.

Yeah, for the girls.

Oh, you did?

Yeah, yeah.

Did you ballet when you went to the Liberty game?

Yeah, they paid me to go.

Nice.

They put you up on the Jumbotron?

Yeah,

all I had to do was, I don't know, Britney Griner put a rag on my face, I passed out.

All I had to do was just go to Russia and be in jail for a while.

And

your life turned out.

They traded that arms dealer for Britney.

The merchant of death.

Yeah, the merchant, yeah, the guy from The Lord of War.

Yeah, The Lord of War.

Have you seen that movie, Nick Cage?

Yeah.

You want a transition acting?

You should.

Maybe a little bit here and there.

Yeah?

Yeah, I dabble.

I can write a movie for you.

What's the premise?

You play a referee?

Ooh.

Yeah.

That's the twist.

It gets caught up in a...

So we have to get guys that are like 7-8, so you look for it, right?

Who's your least favorite?

My least favorite ref.

Yeah, Tony Brothers?

No, Tony, we have a love-hate relationship.

Tony's great.

Scott hates

Chris, right?

I don't know, there's something going on, I guess, there.

I actually like Scott.

You like Scott?

Yeah, he's not a bad guy.

He gave you a couple tips.

Yeah, he's like, a couple picks?

Shoot it, I won't call it.

People all speculate about that since Tim Donaghy, right?

Like,

what is, like, what was your impression about being on the court?

Like...

Is this like, because sometimes it feels so arbitrary, right?

There are makeup calls, obviously.

There's make-up calls.

I will say this: like, refing an NBA game has to be incredibly difficult.

Like, we're moving at a very fast pace, and it's like

you're having to decide between, okay, was that contact enough?

Which is so, like, it's so subjective.

They could beat you up, too.

They're the jocks.

They're the jocks.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And, like, bigger guys don't get as many foul calls as, like, the thinner, smaller guys.

Were there any refs that like just wanted to, like, you had to be like, yeah, we'll chill later?

Like the Nick Kroll skid.

Yeah, like, you can come to fucking one oak with me

i got table service dog what are we doing tonight uh

i don't know probably hanging with bezos or something can we do like a i really want to just

my favorite picture of anything ever taken ever is just jaw in that in that vip where he's just like he's like this by himself there's bands everywhere yeah and he's getting a solitary lap dance i like to imagine there was no music playing

i like to imagine it was silent

So what are your goals?

What are your dreams?

What are your aspirations?

Yeah, have you ever met Drake before?

I went to Magic City.

I was at a wedding in Atlanta.

I went to Magic City and I was like, I was wasted.

I was being so obnoxious.

I was like, have you met Future?

They're like, yeah, he's really nice.

I was like, that's awesome.

Yeah, all those guys.

I've actually never been to Magic City.

It was a dream.

I kept saying to my friend Jason, I was like, this is everything we've ever dreamed of.

It surpassed your expectations.

And the first six songs had the words Magic City in them.

Yeah.

It's a tiny place, right?

It's tiny.

Yeah, yeah.

I went to, I got the Lou Will wings.

Yeah, the Lou Will.

Lemon Pepper Lou's.

The Lemon Pepper Lou's.

I heard for a while, like, that, like, Magic City, like, if local rappers got their song played at Magic City, like, that's how they took off.

It was like so much more than just a show.

They would go from the studio to Magic and see if the girls danced.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That's

pretty cool.

Yeah.

That is pretty cool.

It's a culture shifter.

Should we just skip Amazon up fronts and just

fly to atlanta just bang lose line ask him where he is

um

i

i uh

what is what is having 261 million dollars in like what is that

That's tithing.

Tithing, yeah, yeah.

10% Israel.

You invest in the community.

Community?

Yeah.

What do you buy?

Boys and girls?

Club.

Club?

Yeah.

Club?

You can't say that and not put the club part.

I like to pause.

Yeah, boys and girls.

Pause.

Club.

Club.

Yeah, you know,

of money.

You have an organization for the kids?

I do have one for the kids.

What's it called?

It's called Team Griffin.

Team Griffin?

Yeah.

What do you do with it?

Team Griffin Foundation goes to support at-risk youth.

In Oklahoma, I did it in L.A., I did it in Detroit.

Wherever I played, I tried to invest in the community.

But you use it as a scouting kind of thing?

Yeah, it's all just like scouting to see

who's got that next league him type stuff.

I was talking to my agent.

He said that the sports department has been thrown into chaos with this NIL thing.

Yeah, NIL is crazy.

Because he said that being a sports agent used to be this glamorous position.

Like, you'd go down to Bama, you'd be like, you know, you'd be hooking up with sorority girls.

You'd be like chilling with the number one running back in the draft.

Yeah.

And he said, now that they're in like Iowa paying off a corrupt uncle, like of an 11-year-old.

Yeah.

He said they're like professional pedophiles now.

They're boy hunters now.

I had this thought that like that scouts are like the only

profession that you can go watch children exercise, and it's completely okay.

I have all these tapes of boys.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I have a whole, I have a whole document, and I just describe the boys and how they move and how they play.

Did your mom know Ski up?

Skip?

She didn't know him.

College?

No, high school.

They went to the same high school, but she didn't really know him.

Was he a dickhead too?

I don't know.

I mean, she didn't really go to the JD basketball games.

Come on, Nap!

Come on now.

Skip.

You know what I'm saying?

Skip.

One of my favorite things ever is Shannon Sharp going from having Skip Bayless as a co-host to Stephen A.

Smith and he can't say either of their names correctly.

Like, come on, Skip.

Come on, Skip.

Come on, Skip.

Well, this has been my time on this show, and now I'm going to be with Stephen A.

Smith.

Sucker with Sucker Tash.

With Skip.

I say this, Skip.

Unc is the Unk.

Have you reached out to Unk?

I think he's having a rough time right now.

I have heard that, but I haven't talked to him, you know?

I don't think I've ever even met him.

Really?

Never mind.

We have to chill with Unk.

I mean, Thanny Thorpe is.

We have to cheal with Thorpe.

Come on, Skip.

Come on, Skip.

His name is also Thanon Thorpe.

Yeah.

He can't even say his own damn name.

I switched over from Fox 4 to EFPN, so I went from Skip to Thanning.

The weirdest part of that, like when he leaked the first scandal, was when he leaked on live noises of his sex.

Yeah, that was crazy.

But the underreported part was at the beginning, you hear him whisper in the girl's ear,

What was her name?

Jessica was it?

My Jessica

something yeah.

Yeah, yeah, but he goes he goes you date this again

He's unknown.

I mean he's unknown Club She

K.

I have to go on club Shay Shay one day.

You will I have to go on club Shay Shay and tell them about all the free coughs at Sterlings

My friend said that they said he picked me ray for him in the locker room.

This is my best friend.

From the horse's mouth.

He was in a towel.

And Deborah Jewish was looking at his ass.

Mordecai.

Mordecai met, yeah, Heshey Teshowitz.

I'm Heshe Teshowitz.

I'm friends with Donald.

I think you had a great game.

Hit your ball.

I'm proud to be in here.

What was like...

Those Clippers teams, like, you guys had, like, what was your rough as L?

Probably when we were up by 20 on Houston.

We were also up 3-2 in the series.

And that was without Harden, right?

Harden was out?

Well, no, he played that game, and then he checked out with like two minutes, I think, in the third quarter.

And Josh Smith and Corey Brewer went ballistic.

And he went to Magic?

Yeah,

I think he stayed for the first time.

He went straight to Magic.

Yeah.

Yeah, that was tough.

You hit that crazy shot in that one, too.

A little spinny.

Yeah,

yeah.

That's kind of what it turned.

You kind of angered God a little bit, no?

Yeah, the best thing.

I think that was the end of the third quarter,

you did that insane circuit shot.

So you're trying to put all of the blame on me.

I was just talking about the biggest L, the worst L of my life, and you just, you basically just.

I'm talking about God, the basketball God, who's in my, who's, you know.

Oh, we're talking about, I thought you were talking about the basketball.

Yeah, we're talking about the basketball God, not.

That was game six, right?

That was game six at home, yeah.

And then we lost that game, and then we went to Houston, lost game seven.

What do you feel like after like awful it feels terrible yeah terrible really but then you still have one game you're like all right we go win it on the road did win on the road how do you like you have to just well i guess you had another game that you had to get ready for yeah what's like what's like

like a playoff exit though like does that linger Yeah, it's also crazy because like you the whole season, right?

And then the playoffs, so you're used to like every single day you have practice, you have games, you have this, this, this.

You lose in the playoffs, and it's just like,

well,

I'm just done.

No more practice, nothing.

You go in for exit interviews the next day

and then you just go home and you're like,

okay,

stand up.

What did we learn?

What did we learn this year?

It's tough.

It's tough.

It's fun.

Yeah.

What team do you think was the best team

you ever played on?

Probably that team or Brooklyn, my first year, Katie, Kyrie, James.

Yeah.

To To me, that was like,

I really wanted, because I think I read somewhere that like, Kyrie is the best at making

like things look incredibly hard and like doing things that look incredibly hard.

And KD is the best at making things that, making everything look incredibly easy, right?

They're like the two sides of like basketball genius.

I would say that Kyrie makes it, makes really hard things look

like impossible things possible right yeah i wouldn't say he makes it look hard katie makes the it's so i mean he's just so unaffected by defense

was that the toe that was the brooklyn that was the i was at the blowout at i was at the blowout game game one was that game one yeah game one i was there

yeah yeah i had a i had a yeah i was like you look great

you look great You're wearing your basket, your basket jerseys.

That playoffs playoffs was like the first time fans came back in the arena.

They were doing the countdown on Yanni, too.

Yeah, it was just for those.

And the NBA came out and said the arenas aren't allowed to do that.

It's bullshit.

We're not allowed to count.

Yeah.

My favorite thing in the world is to count.

I love to count.

Do you think the count from Sesame Street was Jewish-coated?

Yeah.

Probably, yeah.

Thank you.

I mean, in like evaluating what you do with the rest of your life,

like, you know,

you were a competitor at the highest level, right?

So the element of competition being present in your life, does that feel like something, like, feel like something that you like miss?

Like, do guys gamble a lot after the league?

Or

how do guys replace that in their lives?

I started playing golf.

Yeah.

That helps.

Kind of get that like

a lottery.

Yeah, it's frustrating, too.

Yeah, it's frustrating, but it's fun.

It's a lot of fun.

Are you nice?

I'm not nice, but I'm like, okay.

You probably, you probably, you're fucking John Daly.

Oh, yeah.

You probably grip it or rip it.

Yeah, I grip and rip.

That's what they call me.

Really?

Grip and rip?

Yeah, grip and rip grip.

You're banging Diet Cokes.

Smoking save.

Barbara alive.

Hooters before Anna.

Hooters.

Hooters?

That guy's a man.

We gotta get on a banana boat with him.

We gotta banana boat.

Just seeing his like long, flowy hair, the beard.

I put a team together, okay,

at their prime, every single one of these players.

Blake Griffin, Bill Walton,

Delante West,

you have

Dante DiVincenzo, Matt Bonner.

So all redheads.

But like at their prime.

How could the carpets and the drapes do?

How would they do?

We could win some games.

Second round exit, I'm thinking.

Oh, Oh, man.

I mean, we have to make the...

We were assuming we just made the playoffs.

Is the goat red debate?

It's you and Bill, probably.

Yeah.

I don't know.

Bill's like Bill.

I mean, a great player.

What's his resume?

How many MBCs?

He was on that John Wooden UCLA.

Right, right, right.

I mean, he was playing against fucking plumbers, though.

Yeah, I mean, see, that thing also, but there's a thing called evolution.

Like, the players back then were still really good because

that was the peak of basketball still.

And the game keeps moving.

They've been in.

It's the peak of basketball.

Come on.

Bob Koozy was dribbling like this.

I don't want to talk shit.

And you can't do this because now you're part of the lamestream media.

You're type shit of the lamestream.

You're type shit of the lamestream media.

Lamestream.

But like, I like, I like watched the 1980 Game 6 finals.

1980?

80.

Yeah.

And that's like the best story ever, right?

Because it's like, Kareem's hurt.

They're on the road.

He's in L.A.

trying to get healthy.

Then there's a rookie, Magic.

He plays all five positions.

They beat Dr.

J.

They beat like a pretty juggernaut sixers team.

And

that's your...

That's...

Come on.

Yeah.

Wait, so now we're back being like the old school era is great?

They were not...

It didn't look as dope as like just that elevator pitch to me.

Yeah.

I think two guys on that court could could have probably leagued i think probably michael cooper could have been a three and d and magic was like a 6'8 guard worthy worthy was on that team no worthy oh worthy

yeah

yeah yeah

i mean it was just like yeah dr j was nifty finish he was mr he that was like his game he was pretty good you could have lobbed cities all over the line

i could have you have like you could have lobbed a you could have lobbed i could have maybe dunked on Dr.

J.

It's fun to think about.

Did you ever feel bad after a poster?

No.

You ever felt bad one time?

Never.

What if a guy's wife was there?

So?

Shouldn't have been there.

What if his mom just died or something?

Well, that's sad.

Yeah.

But I don't feel bad for the dunk.

I feel bad that he just lost the matriarch of his family.

Yeah.

What if he cried?

Hypothetically.

Has someone ever cried?

I don't know, but Kendrick Perkins deleted his Twitter after I dunked on him.

That's like,

I think that should be on my resume.

Yeah, somehow he's still

annoying all of us.

He's back.

He's back.

Carry on.

Carry the hell on.

Carry the hell off.

Well, look,

in the NBA playoffs.

There's that clip of JJ.

Have you seen that clip?

I think.

Where he's like

in his ear?

He's like, what the hell is that in my ear?

He's like, Kurt, why are you breathing?

He's like...

He's like, I am the hell breathing.

Stephen A.

Smith is like, you sound like you got sleepy happy.

Yeah, do you have sleep happiness?

I will say this.

If you put hands on me, I will have no choice but to swing, you know.

Me and you?

Stephen A., as journalists, I mean, like, LeBron didn't put hands on him, though.

He just checked him.

That thing was a little bit insane because your mom's ex,

Skip,

during that entire beef earlier this year,

it got it's kept stepping up one like another level.

So first LeBron is like saying, I'm not best best friends with Brian Windhorse, which is like

peculiar.

This is like some guy that, I guess he's like, they went to the same high school at a different time, but like Wendy was like his guy for like 20 years.

No, he's also been so positive about LeBron.

He's been like

right.

And then LeBron's like, yeah, like he's like going like, he's going like, he's like,

don't tell me what to say.

I'm going to spill all the tea in it.

I'm not best friends with Brian Windhorse.

He called him a weird little man that follows him around.

That is so mean.

That's so tough.

And then Stephen A comes in and escalates it and says, I will fight.

And it's LeBron James.

But then the best detail was that Skip for three days was tweeting out into a void where he was like another pathetic buzzer beater from LeBron.

I wouldn't even call it a layup.

More of just a tip.

And no one was engaging with him.

I know.

It's like Skip's been hating on LeBron so hard for so long and he's not even in, he doesn't even get like the recognition that he hates on him from LeBron.

He's literally just has a boombox outside his window.

You suck.

You suck.

I guess I close by like just saying like

you know, this is an open forum.

Just like

if

Chris Paul's watching.

Mm-hmm.

Probably, yeah, he's probably watching.

Like,

you just share, like, what's in your heart.

You know, I was talking with J.J.

Reddick actually about this the other day.

Yeah, oh, you know him?

Yeah.

I look back on those games.

Like I see like film, I see like clips and stuff, and I'm like, man, I wish I had just been a little bit better.

You know?

For him?

Yeah, for everybody.

For everybody.

For fans, for God.

You had Billy Crystal at that game.

I know.

You had Frankie Muniz there?

Frankie had moved to Phoenix, so he wasn't in attendance for a lot of home games, but when we played in Phoenix, he would come to to the game.

You had Vince Staples was there?

Vince, yeah, Vince was probably there.

Who are the Clippers guys?

Who's the Clippers' Jack?

Billy Crystal, I think, is the Clippers' Jack.

Clipper Daryl?

Clipper Darrell is...

I don't think he's still around.

He's dead?

I don't know about that.

Sterling body count 666, Illuminati?

I just don't know if he goes to games now at the new arena.

Didn't they kick him out?

They did kick him out one time.

Did you lobby to get Clipper Daryl?

I I wasn't a part of that.

Daryl, you know I love you, dog.

Shout out to Daryl.

Super fan type shit.

Blake,

I just want to thank you for coming on the show.

Thanks for having me.

Anything else on the cards as you scroll through?

I guess like, has there ever been like when a guy...

Has a guy ever just had too big of a dick?

Thanks so much, guys.

Appreciate it.

They were like, because you gotta be in the shower with you.

Yeah, all the time.

Okay, here, just give me one more chance.

Yeah.

Listen,

looking back on your career,

you had a tremendous amount of accomplishments.

Thanks.

You're one of the best bigs I've ever watched.

Thanks, man.

One of the most athletic, springy dunkers ever.

And people want to say to you now, because people

have this fetishization for rings.

You know, that that's something that's missing.

But

when are you going to get the one ring

that actually does matter?

The promise ring or God?

No,

you know what I'm saying?

Championship ring?

No.

Wedding?

Hopefully soon.

Really?

Yeah.

Hopefully soon.

And what's his name?

Type shit.

That's pretty good.

Way Grimmett, everyone.

And what is this name?

Oh, God, that was fun, funny.

I wanna be with you.

I wanna be with you.
