Joe calls Web who exposes Flip for being a store runner. Flip's pride gets very hurt. Could this be the reason why the pod was taken down? #JBTVClips 😬
The irony of mal going from a too cool for school, no enthusiasm for anything podcaster to being a blatantly willing dick rider has been crazy to witness
🚨 Mal says J. Cole crying while performing “Love Yourz” feels PERFORMATIVE and suggests it’s helping Cole win fans back after the Kendrick/Drake battle controversy
Mal argues Cole knows those emotional moments go viral and repeatedly claims he’s been getting teary-eyed during the song on tour.
“You gain the hearts of the people back.”
When pressed on whether he thinks the tears are actually genuine, Mal jokes:
“I think these AI tears.”
The rest of the room PUSHES BACK, arguing Love Yourz is genuinely emotional and questioning why Cole would need to manufacture tears during an already sold-out tour.
I remember asking assistant coach Mo Cheeks, what’s harder to do? Workout after practice or before?? I only asked cuz by time I would get to the gym, Russ was already done in the morning and I usually got mine in after practice. Mo like, “coming in before practice is probably harder”…since then, it’s been my routine….a lot of people looked at the emotions on the court and thought Russ was loud, nah to me, he was quiet and methodical. He lead by example and once the lights were bright, he let everything out and experienced pure freedom. It was inspiring as his teammate and everywhere I went, I seen it inspire people from all walks of life, crazy thing is, he didn’t say much, he just showed up. For 18 years. This basketball life is sacred to us as professionals, what we put into that court means everything. Some of us wish we could go back and do things with a little more intent and some can just wipe their hands and be satisfied with the time spent. Who u gonna be? We know what zero was on…keep inspiring in the next phase of life champ. I don’t care what happens, can’t erase what it was…The first YNs, finals run in our early 20s, all star games, seeing each other get injured and bounce back, the bus rides, plane rides, card games, jokes and arguments, the whole thing, memorable!! …to the whole Westbrook family, Nina, the kids, mama Westbrook, big Russ, Ray, Donnell, everybody from luezinger high and ucla and many more that I’m forgettin, much love and Congratulations on a iconic career.
